Jingjie is a weirdo. The first time he met Su Ren was because he wanted to kill Su Ren. The second time he met Su Ren was as a negotiator. When he met for the third time, Jingjie suddenly turned into a saint and put down his hatred.
, put down his faith, everything is done according to his own ideas, and he can do whatever he wants.
The last time Huo Jin went to Tianshui County to find Jingjie, he came back and told Su Ren that Jingjie had married many, many women, including Han Chinese, Huns, Qiang people, and even people from the Western Regions. Not only were there many women, but there were also many children.
The eldest child is already a teenager. Hawking envied the life of Thorns, but unfortunately he complained about it once in front of Erya and never mentioned it again.
Su Ren can be sure that those women are the women of Thorns, but those children may not be the children of Thorns. No matter how powerful Thorns is at creating humans, it is impossible to create a large group of teenage children in three to five years! So,
Su Ren had new ideas about the origins of those women. Is it possible that Jingjiang has a hobby of picking up people's broken shoes? It doesn't look like Su Ren, it is more likely that they are family members of the same party!
After staying in Jinyang for three days, Jingjie never showed up. Lao Li also sent people to inquire in many ways, but found nothing. Jingjie seemed to have never been there before, and he just disappeared in Jinyang.
Ying Guangji frowned: "Isn't that guy unable to wait for us and heading north on his own?"
"It's not impossible!" Su Ren nodded: "But I don't think it's possible yet. With Brother Jing's behavior, he won't act alone. Besides, what's the point of going to Yanmen Pass alone?"
"Then since you're here, why don't you come out to meet us?"
"I guess something happened, it's just inconvenient."
"What can happen to him?" Ying Guangji didn't believe it and shook his fan loudly: "In terms of martial arts, there are few people in the world who can match him. In terms of experience, he started his career when we were still breastfeeding, and he has been safe for so many years.
It's okay, no one in this little Jinyang can stop him."
"Wait for one more day, and we will set off tomorrow morning regardless of whether Brother Jing comes or not."
It was late at night, and Su Ren was still sitting in the yard. The spring night wind was very cold, so Man Niu took a quilt and put it on Su Ren. It was a fine day, the sky was exceptionally clean, and thousands of stars hung in the sky.
The sky illuminates the ground very brightly. Today is still the fifteenth day, and the moon is also very round. If these things didn't emit white light, it would be no different from daytime.
A breeze blew up, and Su Ren quickly wrapped the quilt tighter. The buds growing out of the trees could not make a rustling sound, and could only hear the wind blowing through the tree trunks. A black shadow suddenly flashed from the locust tree outside the wall.
It swung over and landed steadily in the yard. The yard was very quiet, and there was no sound. Huang Shisan and Man Niu sat on both sides of Su Ren and took a nap, especially Huang Shisan who was already snoring.
The black shadow's movements were very light, like a civet cat, raising his legs and landing lightly without making any sound. Su Ren's back was turned to him, and the thick quilt blocked Su Ren's sight and also blocked his hearing.
, completely unaware of what happened behind him.
There is a short sword in the black shadow's hand, glowing with green light. It must have been fed poison, and it is still a very powerful poison. Maybe it is the kind of thing that can seal the throat when it sees blood. Step by step, only Su Ren is left.
It was only one foot long, and it only took one flying move to send the dagger into Su Ren's body. But the black shadow was not impatient. He wanted to get closer, so that he would be more sure.
There are still five feet left. With just one more step, plus the length of his arm and dagger, he can easily stab Su Ren. The black shadow was a little excited, his whole body tensed, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble involuntarily.
"Coming!" Su Ren said suddenly, and the black shadow was startled, and his body immediately did not dare to move.
"Come on, come on, why are you so sneaky?"
"Kill you!" As soon as the words fell, the black shadow suddenly rushed forward, and the sword in his hand flashed with green light under the moonlight. I could feel that there was a force that slowed down the dagger a lot, and the blade pierced
After getting into the back of the chair, the black shadow shouted loudly and used all his strength on his right hand.
This dagger was very sharp. Despite the resistance, it broke through the back of the hardwood chair and exposed the sword tip on the opposite side!
"Ah...!" With a scream, Su Ren fell heavily to the ground. He did a standard dog-eating move and didn't even have time to take his hands out of the quilt.
The clanging sound of fighting sounded behind them, and Huang Shisan and Man Niu had already blocked Su Ren with their swords.
"I fell to death! Bah! Bah!" While spitting the dirt in his mouth, he got up from the ground. His mouth and nose were full of blood, the bridge of his nose should be broken, and his brain hurt when he took a breath: "Who, who put it?
I threw it here!"
No one answered Su Ren's words, and they were all wary of the fight in the courtyard. The two black figures flying up and down were really beautiful. It was obvious that the tall man had the upper hand, forcing the short man back step by step.
The lights in the room turned on, and dozens of guards rushed out of the room one after another. Lanterns and torches immediately occupied the entire courtyard. Through the light, Su Ren recognized that the tall dark figure was actually a thorn.
The guards surrounded the two men, and the thorns fought while shouting warnings: "Be careful, this guy's dagger has been poisoned, don't get scratched by him!"
With a bang, the thorns kicked hard on the man's lower abdomen. Before the man could bend down, he raised his knee and hit the man's chin again. The shadow flew up, flying very high and screaming loudly.
, the dagger did not let go.
Ying Guangji was the last one to come out. This guy actually washed his face and combed his hair. He even wore clothes very neatly and shook the folding fan vigorously in his hand. Surrounded by four strong men, he came close to Su Ren:
"What's going on? Who is Thorny fighting with?"
Su Ren shook his head and spit out the blood in his mouth: "Who knows! I was enjoying the moon, but I didn't know that that bastard threw me over and that's it!"
"Were you thrown here? It looks like you landed on your face!"
Su Ren glared at Ying Guangji: "Get out! If you don't help, forget it, and you still make sarcastic remarks!"
The man in black was caught by seven or eight guards. It turned out that this guy tied a dagger to his wrist with a piece of cloth. No wonder everyone flew away with the dagger but didn't throw it away. The two blows from the thorns were so hard that the man almost fainted from the pain.
He went over, his head drooped, and blood fell from his mouth to the ground.
"Raise your head and see who it is?" Su Ren ordered, and someone grabbed the man's hair and pulled him back, revealing his face.
"Hey! Why is it him?" Su Ren was a little surprised. Although the man in front of him had unshaven beard, changed his clothes, and changed his bun, his face could not be changed.
"Do you know him?" Jingji glanced at the man.
"Isn't this Guo Xie? This kid is still in the territory of the Han Dynasty!" Huo Jin also recognized it: "How dare you come to assassinate my brother, let's see if I don't chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
Su Renyi waved his hand: "Don't worry, we'll talk after you wake up!"
A basin of cold water was poured over his head, Guo Xie shivered, and then he woke up leisurely. He tried to move his arms and legs, but struggled for a long time but failed. Huo Jin held Guo Xie's dagger and pointed the tip of the sword.
Aiming at Guo Xie's throat: "Master Guo? Are we meeting again?"
Guo Xie rolled his eyes and searched for Su Ren in the crowd: "Kill me! Kill me!"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "I will indeed kill you, but not now. Tell me, who asked you to come! Is it Liu Hong or Liu whoring?"
Guo Xie didn't say anything. He didn't even move when he was lying on the ground. Hawking raised his foot and said: "You are still pretending to be brave? You have the ability to assassinate, but you don't even dare to tell the mastermind behind the scenes? Don't worry, they won't have a chance to retaliate against you if you tell them today.
Dead!"
"Hahaha..." Guo Xie suddenly burst into laughter and looked at Su Ren: "If I want to kill you, why do you need someone else to instigate you? I am here today only because of you!"
"That's because your skills are inferior to others. What does it have to do with me? I never meant to kill you! I let you go on the Wei River, I let you go in Wuguan, and even if you escaped from Chang'an City, I did too
Turn a blind eye, I don’t have any hatred towards you, but you always want to kill me, just like before, if it weren’t for my friend, you would kill me right now!”
Guo Xie said nothing and only panted.
Su Ren continued: "If you can tell me who the mastermind behind the scenes is, I can let you go today. I said that we have no personal enmity, how about it? Is this a suitable condition?"
Guo Xie still didn't say anything. Hawking kicked him again: "What a fool! You are a hero after all, but you don't even have this responsibility?"
Guo Xie was kicked so hard that he rolled over and huddled on the ground and began to cry. The louder he cried, the louder and sadder he became. I think he was considered the number one person in Chang'an back then, but today he is wearing such a little girly costume. Hawking wants to do it again
Kicking, Jingji quickly stopped him: "No need to fight, he is alone. I followed this guy all the way from Hedong to Jinyang, and I never saw him contact anyone. He was abandoned by others."
"abandon?"
Jingji glanced at Ying Guangji, and explained to Hawking with a smile: "What's wrong with abandonment? For big people, all useless things can be abandoned, and the same goes for people."
"Brother Jing's words are inappropriate. I have been inviting Brother Jing to help me, just because Brother Jing is unwilling."
Jingji laughed: "Yes, yes, I don't want to, it has nothing to do with Mr. Ying!"
Guo Xie cried very sadly, with runny nose and tears. Anyone who saw a grown man crying like this would feel sad. No one said anything, everyone watched Guo Xie cry. Even Hawking stood aside quietly. Kindhearted
Man Niu even brought half a bowl of water to Guo Xie's mouth.
After Guo Xie finished crying, Su Ren waved his hand: "Let him go!"
Guo Xie was stunned and looked up at Su Ren: "You won't kill me?"
"What's the point of killing a useless person? But I advise you to leave the Han Dynasty as soon as possible. Just because I don't kill you doesn't mean that the court won't kill you. You have committed a lot of things over the years. Now there is no one to support you. A public servant can do it.
To bring you to justice, it is better to take your mother and escape!"
After saying this, Su Ren suddenly turned his head and looked at the thorns: "Are your wives also abandoned by others?" (To be continued)
