Everyone in the courtyard below had left, but Wang Xianrui still maintained his posture without any change.
But he gradually had the answer in his heart.
He silently went downstairs, walked out of the tailor shop, then directly paid for a carriage and headed for the water market in the north of the city.
What is sold in the water market are agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, and vegetables. Many vegetable farmers who grow vegetables by the river outside the city will come to the market here in small boats before sunrise in the early morning, and then do not get off the boat.
All the goods to be sold are spread out on the bow of the ship.
The food brought by these vegetable farmers is not large and scattered, but it is fresher and much cheaper than those in the vegetable markets in the city. And if you are lucky, you will encounter some local products made by farmers, such as top-quality vegetables.
Dried, cured goods.
These two points alone make the water market in the north of the city more lively than the markets in the city, and this happens every day.
Wang Xianrui has a strong taste, so he used to come here often to pick up some bacon rabbits and pig tails cooked by hunters in the countryside.
There are several small wine shops in the water market that are also good. The stir-fried snail meat in one wine shop is extremely spicy. He privately thinks that in terms of taste and appearance, it should be the best in Luzhou City.
Although the water market is lively, it is not large in scope, and since the two parties have agreed to meet there, no matter whether the person in charge of the Northern Wei Dynasty named Hong Jing will be invited to meet with a certain big shot in the Southern Dynasties, the two parties must have agreed before.
People will be stationed here.
It's just that this is also good for him. People in the Northern Wei Dynasty may think that he is a subordinate of the great man in the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty may think that he is a person sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty to investigate first.
Of course, it is best not to attract the attention of both parties, but at the same time, you can also hear the conversation between the two big figures in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty, and know who these people are and what they want to do to you.
It is always convenient for local snakes to do things.
At a port outside the water market, he stopped the carriage and discussed the price with a boatman.
The boatman's business was not going well today. There was still a lot of dry goods on the bow of the boat that had not been sold out. He was already leaving the city and would bring some new goods for sale in two days. Wang Xianrui chartered the awning boat.
Then he sat in the awning and let the boatman row into the water market.
At noon, a awning boat loaded with wax goods also entered the water market.
Chen Jinru sat in this awning boat.
The boat looks greasy and shabby on the outside, but the cabin is very clean, with new bamboo spreads and a small bamboo table.
There is a pot of waxed pig ears, a pot of cress, and a bowl of white rice on the table.
Chen Jinru carefully finished the bowl of rice and two pots of vegetables on the counter, and then started to make tea.
The cabin is even equipped with tea sets, and the tea is also extremely high-quality "water beetle".
After he slowly drank a cup of tea, the awning boat slowly started to move and moved closer to a shop on the shore.
This shop sells all fishing gear.
A man walked out of it, as if he was walking to a familiar ship, and walked directly into the cabin of his awning boat, and then sat down opposite him.
This man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a shiny face. He looked no different from an ordinary shrewd businessman from the Southern Dynasties in that shop, but the moment he sat down, there was a calm and calm temperament exuding from his body.
"It's an honor to meet you."
He bowed seriously to Chen Jinru and said somewhat cautiously: "I really didn't expect that."
"You're welcome." Chen Jinru looked at the man opposite him calmly and said, "Master Demon Sect's disciple Hong Jin must be among the top ten people we want to kill in the Southern Dynasty."
Hearing such words, Hong Jin did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you're welcome to each other."
Before Chen Jinru spoke again, he had already suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "What kind of important event is it? Even a person like you, Mr. Chen, has to rush here so fast, and it seems that he is not willing to let go."
Do the other colleagues in the Southern Dynasty know?"
Chen Jinru looked at Hong Jin calmly.
The other person is very smart.
And the other party obviously knew his whereabouts well before.
But this only confirmed once again that the Demon Sect and the subordinates of the Demon Sect were indeed very strong, and it was not beyond his expectations.
"I need Mr. Hong's help with something."
"What do I get?"
The voices of the two people sounded softly in the cabin one after another.
It's all simple.
And it's not hypocritical.
"You were in the Southern Dynasty, and I predicted what you wanted to do. If I hadn't wanted to talk to you, you would have died in my hands soon," Chen Jinru said.
Hong Jin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I still have a 30% chance of escaping."
Their faces and tone were still very peaceful.
Chen Jinru said: "But now it is 100%."
Hong Jin was slightly startled and said, "Are people in the Southern Dynasties so unethical in their actions?"
Chen Jinru shook his head, "Since you are here, you naturally have your own agenda. What I want to discuss with you should not be impossible."
Hong Jin looked at Chen Jinru, his eyes did not hide his admiration. Their previous judgment about these people in the Southern Dynasty was indeed correct. The military advisor of the Chen family was indeed much better than those of the Xiao family.
"I want that medical officer." He said softly: "I just need to ask him some questions. When it is over, I will return him to you. If you want to ask him, just ask him from his mouth. This should be fair?"
Chen Jinru nodded, "It's fair. We can know what you care about from his mouth."
"But don't let anyone, especially no one from the Northern Wei Dynasty, know that this medical officer once fell into my hands." Hong Jin said slowly.
Chen Jinru didn't take the time to think at all, and said: "I will cooperate with you to put on a show, you start it, and then we kill some of your people to make it look like you failed."
Hong Jin was very satisfied.
There is no need to talk nonsense with such smart people, and it is very reassuring and enjoyable.
So he decided to really show his sincerity.
He smiled faintly and said, "You want to kill Xiao Hong?"
Chen Jinru looked at Hong Jin, his expression did not change at all, but he did not respond.
Being silent at this time means acquiescence.
"There are too many strong men around him." Hong Jin looked at Chen Jinru and continued: "You must provide me with a chance to kill him."
"Bai Luhui, I will tell you his specific route." Chen Jinru nodded.
"I'll try my best."
Hong Jin thought for a moment in silence and said, "But I still want something. I want a teacher from Nantianyuan."
Although Hong Jin had not yet said the name of the Nantian Academy teacher, Chen Jinru had already guessed it.
For the sake of the Southern Dynasty, even people like Xiao Hong can give up, that is, half of Nantian Academy can give up, let alone a teacher.
Chen Jinru's eyes became colder. He nodded and said, "Okay."
