Since the assassination on Yuanxi, Ning Yi has paid a little attention to this person. Although it is a bit like waiting for something to happen, it is difficult to achieve much results. With his current status, he cannot get much detailed information, but some basic
Information can always be obtained as long as you are willing.
Just as Lu Agui told him last time, this man has a flamboyant personality, will retaliate, and is ruthless, but he is by no means an incompetent mediocrity. Compared with Chen Yong, the commander of the Wu Lie Army, Song Xian, who has been in the martial arts world, may be more capable.
Like a standard soldier, if this were not the case, the other party would not have entrusted him with the guard battalion of the Wu Lie Army.
At that time, the dynasty valued civil service over military force. The Wu Lie Army was a Xiang army that guarded the Jiangning area. They lived in a wealthy land and their overall combat effectiveness was not strong. If they were to be said to be capable, only a few troops with the Guards Battalion as the core were
A formation. Song Xian's status in the Wu Lie Army can be said to be inferior to that of one person. Since the assassination on Yuan Xi, he has also increased his vigilance. Every time he goes out, he is followed by many personal guards. Now in this venue
Among them, Ning Yi could only hang at a distance and pay attention to the surrounding situation. Fortunately, there were so many people that no one could notice that he was following him.
Since he can follow like this, others can too. If someone is also interested in Song Xian, they might be among the crowd at this time. He secretly pays attention to this situation, but there are indeed many people, and there are many people on the New Year's Eve night.
He didn't even see the assassin's face clearly, and couldn't get any useful information at this time. Song Xian took about ten people and walked around. They didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about the performance. When they went to the stage by the river,
, just separated from the crowd, went to the top and sat down in the front seat where the dignitaries sat, and chatted with one of them, while the personal guards following him stood guard around him.
Ning Yi stood on the periphery of the crowd and looked around, and then began to recall the events of Yuanxi, some details, and try to figure out the woman's behavior. Then he tried to get involved, and began to think about what methods he would use if he wanted to kill Song Xian.
. Halfway through thinking about this, someone from behind suddenly tapped him on the shoulder with a folding fan.
"Hey, this brother is very tall. You are standing here blocking my view. What do you think we should do?"
Ning Yi was of medium height at this time, not really tall, and the voice behind him was also weird. After he heard it, he reacted and looked back with a smile. He saw the provocative man wearing a folding fan wearing black
The robe is only one forehead shorter than his, but the body is much thinner. Looking up, it is Nie Yunzhu's beautiful and serious face. From a close look, it looks like men's clothing, but there is not much of a man's expression. On the contrary,
Seems cute and naive.
"Brother, your reasons are so good. It's obviously my fault. Seeing that you are so fierce and domineering, do you need to pay you some protection money?"
Nie Yunzhu tried his best to keep a straight face and stretched out his hand: "That's easy to say! Hand over all the flowers on your body, and I will spare you once, otherwise I'll beat you until your head turns into a pig's!"
The other party often set up a stall when he came in, and he actually learned some such words in the market. At this time, his domineering attitude was revealed. Ning Yi sighed, took out the flower and the receipt that he had brought in, and put them in his hand. Nie Yunzhu burst out laughing:
"Does that girl in neon clothes on the stage sing very well? Did she listen so attentively just now?"
"Nishang?" Ning Yi turned around and looked, and then realized that he was referring to the girl singing on the stage, "Hey, I was thinking about something. When did you come here?"
"I was walking around and accidentally saw you. I have been standing behind you for a long time."
The two of them walked together to the record office not far away where the flowers were sent. Nie Yunzhu also took out a flower from his arms, put it into the big box next to Ning Yi, and then handed the receipt to the recorder: "Two flowers
Miss Yuan Jin'er from Jinfeng Tower."
"Miss Yuan Jin'er hasn't come on stage yet."
"Give it too."
When she said this, the other party took note of it. Ning Yi smiled and said, "Are you here to cheer for that Jin'er girl?"
"Sister Jin'er had a good relationship with me in the past." Nie Yunzhu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Actually, I also participated in helping her sing and dance this time."
The two met every morning and talked about everything, but she had never mentioned it before. At this time, Ning Yi felt slightly confused: "Didn't you say you don't want to get close to that place anymore?"
"My mother wanted Jin'er to continue to get the top position in the top four companies. She told me that if she could help me a little, she would also help us with publicity in the future. I thought about it and agreed. Now we are talking about business, which is different from before.
, so I’m not so shy about it, my mother is quite good in this regard.” Nie Yunzhu paused, and then said as he walked to the side with Ning Yi, “Actually, I shouldn’t have agreed to it, Jin’er also didn’t agree to it at this time.
He already has a certain reputation, but if it continues to grow, it’s hard to say whether it will be good or bad. Jin’er’s character is also... Well, let’s not talk about it..."
She shook her head and said with a smile: "By the way, will Li Heng go to Jin'er's performance later?"
"You have helped me again, the leader of the four major groups. Of course I can't miss it."
"Oh, Jin'er actually told me that she wanted to get to know you. After all, you are the most mysterious and talented person in Jiangning. Then I will point it out to her in the audience... By the way, there is a little maid who will follow you.
Come together? I was just thinking about who it should be."
"We were eating and waiting in Wenmo Building. I came down halfway." Ning Yi thought for a moment, "It's almost time to get over."
Nie Yunzhu said with a smile: "Let's go together. I'm going to Jin'er, and we happen to be going the same way."
Chatting all the way, the two passed through the crowd and turned back toward Wenmo Building. Ning Yi looked back in the direction of Song Xian, thinking that the surprising glimpse before might have been an illusion.
At the same moment, under the eaves of a small building not far away that neither of them paid attention to, Gu Yanzhen was standing there quietly, watching them go away.
It took a long time to follow Nie Yunzhu from the moment he saw him in the crowd. Although throughout the whole process, Gu Yanzhen was confused about who Nie Yunzhu, who had always been indifferent, was looking for, but he really never expected to see some of the subsequent ones.
scene.
During the whole time, he saw Nie Yunzhu walking aimlessly through the crowd. She had not made an appointment with anyone, but she was obviously looking forward to finding the other person. In such a venue, she did not watch the performance, but just watched the performance.
It was a bit strange to leisurely look for someone with whom you had not made an appointment among thousands of people. Gu Yanzhen had never seen such a side of her in the past few years.
At that time, Yunzhu was different from most of the beauties in the brothel. She liked to be quiet by nature, and she had extraordinary attainments in music, dance, poetry, and singing, but she was not ostentatious. Compared with ordinary brothel girls, she had a certain
The bookishness is not pretended, but the real bookishness. This is a woman with a real leisurely temperament. When they are with her, everyone feels a bit Ningxin. Gu Yanzhen doesn't know when he felt this unique feeling.
, but in short, he felt that he could understand the other person's unique thoughts because they were the same person.
After returning from Tokyo, he met Nie Yunzhu again that morning, and later learned that she had redeemed her life for him, but no longer interacted with the people before. Although he was a little disappointed at first, but thinking about it carefully, he felt that she should be so outstanding.
He had a temperament that was both confident and arrogant under the peaceful appearance. It was this kind of temperament that he liked, and he felt that the two of them had been in love in the past, and they pursued each other until he received that slap, and his mood changed after that.
In the past two months, he was still looking for the man behind Nie Yunzhu. Although he was understatement on the surface, he broke up with Li Pin because of this. Because Li Pin is really not to be underestimated, and he can see what he is thinking.
, he would never reveal his words, no matter how he said it. Because of this, he was slightly confused and said some harsh words. In fact, in the past two months, he had occasionally inquired, but even he himself was still not clear about finding out the man behind it.
What to do next.
Later, he came to the conclusion that this man might be a famous old man. If so, there was nothing he could do about it. Until not long ago, he saw some of Nie Yunzhu's behavior.
Along the way, she disguised herself as a man. Nie Yunzhu's temperament still looked very similar to that of a graceful young man. Then she found the person she was looking for in the crowd. She first looked at the side in the distance several times, and then walked away.
When she got behind the person, she seemed to want to say hello, but hesitated, waiting for the person to turn around and find her. During this period, Gu Yanzhen saw Nie Yunzhu's expression from the side, sometimes struggling and sometimes unhappy, sometimes showing a smile, sometimes raising his hand
He was about to hit him, but then he stopped, frowning and slightly annoyed at the daze of the person in front of him. As his expression changed, all of his masculinity was gone. He occasionally sighed, and occasionally spread his hands like a helpless little girl... these
He had never seen this expression appear on the other party. In the past, he had seen her frown that was incompatible with the surrounding environment in the Jinfeng Tower singing room, and he had seen her reserved and bookish smile of Ning Xin, but these expressions now...
…
The man never looked back, and did not see the complicated and lovely woman behind him, until Nie Yunzhu finally reluctantly raised his folding fan and hit the other man on the shoulder, putting on a serious smile, and then the two of them talked and laughed all the way to register.
They laid flowers at the table - the flowers turned out to be just two flowers - and then left... Gu Yanzhen couldn't explain clearly what he felt in his heart. He just watched it all with an expressionless face. After a long time, he punched the side.
on the pillars of the building.
Then he said "ha" and laughed.
Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu walked to the bottom of Wenmo Building before they separated. At the window above, Xiaochan was lying on the window sill watching, and then waved to him vigorously.
"Uncle, who is that young man in black walking with you?"
When he went upstairs, Su Wending and others had already left, and Li Pin and Xiaochan were still waiting for him. Xiaochan asked curiously. Ning Yi smiled: "A girl disguises herself as a man. Seeing that she looks beautiful, so
A little teasing.”
"My uncle is so bad!" Xiaochan put a snack into her mouth and smiled brightly, obviously not believing her words. Soon after, the three of them walked out of the Wenmo Building and went to the crowd to continue watching the next performance.
From time to time, he could see the figures of Song Xian and Chen Yong, followed by the Wu Liejun guards. Ning Yi kept a thought, waiting for possible changes to happen...
