Chapter 3: The Rise of the Storm
Li Chengjie was a for Mu Youzhi. After teaching the "fool people in the market" a little, he finally looked at her deeply, then turned around and left with big strides.
"Did that person deliberately pull me out?" Li Chengjie recalled the loud shout before the assassin just now. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, as if his voice was not a provocation that he was bound to win, but a warning or a signal that he deliberately gave him.
"He used a silver needle and hid in the dark. If he didn't make this loud shout, his success rate would undoubtedly be a little higher! With a scolding, he raised his power? Then the mission failed?" The more Li Chengjie thought about it, the more he felt that the assassin just now was too abnormal.
"Or he is too confident and looks down on the mountain of people?" Just now, the speed, whether it is a matter of things or speed, are extremely high-quality assassination techniques. According to the saying that professional killers like them will not make such low-level mistakes.
If Li Chengjie wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have so much nonsense when he was not sure of the outcome. At most, it might be that after he defeated the other party, Li Chengjie would ask a few questions he wanted to know.
Isn't it too childish to come up and shout, "Dog thief, where can I run!"
Li Chengjie thought of the honest invitation tonight, but he delayed for a while and quickly accelerated his pace. When he passed by the road to Nantianmen just now, Li Chengjie suddenly stopped.
The fragmentary scenes of the three assassins assassinations appeared in his eyes.
Li Chengjie looked thoughtful, "Can we come to kill Mu Youzhi for the two assassins today?" Li Chengjie thought, and the pace that should have been accelerated, he unconsciously slowed down.
Li Chengjie looked at the scene that appeared in front of him and found some clues. Perhaps they were really heading for Mu Youzhi, and knew that a "peerless master" like him was present in the carriage.
Because Li Chengjie looked at the scenes in front of him now, the three assassins all showed resolute expressions, and the assassin under the car seemed to have predicted his fate of death. He was trembling, panicked, and pricked the place where the branches were in tears!
"A killer, an assassin! Under what circumstances will it shed tears and assassinate a person... Have they never thought that the assassination will succeed?" Li Chengjie looked at the scenes that appeared at this time, and naturally observed the three assassins more clearly from the perspective of the bystander...
"Even though I know that the assassination is fruitless, I will come to die?" Li Chengjie saw the subtle changes from their faces.
"Not good!" When Li Chengjie saw the gun-carrying attack, his Adam's apple slid up and down, as if he had swallowed something.
"It's poison..." Li Chengjie saw the dead aspiration in the eyes of the assassin, and became more and more confident in his guess!
It is common for assassin to fail to assassin and commit suicide by taking poison, and it is also circulated in the storybook.
But before the gun was fired, I swallowed the poison...
"This matter must be not simple. Wu Youzhi. What exactly do you have? I think that the three of us masters and apprentices are the purest and cleanest in your heart... Did I really see the wrong person?" Li Chengjie had to think about this aspect, which was really incredible.
Thinking of the assassination after coming out of Chunfeng Tower that night, I went for him first, and then the "leading" man in black also turned the assassination target to Mu Youzhi!
It's the same today. The target of the person under the car is not him.
Just now, the silver needle flew out, and what I wanted to take was the life of Wu Youzhi.
"Isn't all this a coincidence? Isn't it because I can't kill him, so I have no choice but to kill Mu Youzhi?" Li Chengjie became confused. He really couldn't figure it out!
Li Chengjie originally thought that the target of those assassins was him, but because of various reasons, he had no choice but to pull Wu Youzhi in. Now thinking about it, maybe those
A person's goal is always a piece of wood, and he is the one who was brought in...
Li Chengjie vaguely felt that behind these things there was an invisible hand pushing them, and a person who took the overall situation was observing silently and planning in secret.
Although Li Chengjie could not determine who that person was, his intuition told Li Chengjie that the one who promoted these things must be "Xu Yan, Xu Zhufu". In Kyoto, the only person who may have some hatred with him" at present!
Moreover, after observations over the past few times, "Muyouzhi should have a close connection with Xu Yan..."
Thinking about it deeply, Li Chengjie may have stepped into other people's chess game a long time ago and became the "chess player" that he thought he could play at will...
Long before he entered Beijing...
Long before he became a disciple?
As early as when he first entered Jincheng!
"Then, how much does that person know about him?" Li Chengjie looked back on his journey into the world, and he discovered many suspicions again. He also had his own parents!
Why do they have to go to Jincheng to visit "Stone Bird?"
Just when he found out the news of "Stone Bond", he died by chance... A "living god" in Jincheng, a famous doctor with the highest medical skills as "living dead and living bones" died like that?
And the cause of death is unknown, and the corpse remains...
All of this, isn't it...
"Ah!!!" Li Chengjie thought of many scenes in Jincheng, and his memory was frozen on the scene of "Master Xu Jinsong drinking in Chunfeng Tower."
He only remembers that he had just entered the world, and that was the first time he drank the strong wine of "Spring Breeze Tea". The taste can be said to be a thousand twists and turns, and it was heart-wrenching!
But his memory stopped at the moment when he clinked the cup with "Xu Jinsong". Then dozens of breaths of memory became blank. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not recall any memories.
Then his intermittent memories rushed in, jumped through the blank memory, and arrived at the scene of his apprenticeship of "three worships and respects the teacher"!
"What is empty in the middle? What about my part of the memory?" Li Chengjie was sure that that memory was definitely not blank! And it should be a very important part of the memory for him!
"Why did he worship "Xu Jinsong" as his teacher? Why did he worship him at that time? Or three?" Although Yuan Zixin has completely conquered Li Chengjie's heart, Li Chengjie affirmed Yuan Zixin's identity as a teacher in his heart. But now when Li Chengjie recalled, why did he worship "Xu Jinsong" as his teacher at that time?
Li Chengjie carefully recalled all the memories he had with "Xu Jinsong", but he felt that he was a little extraordinary, but he never reached the point of letting himself "go to him to accept himself as his disciple"!
"What exactly is that memory?!!!" Li Chengjie tried hard to read his memory, trying hard to erase the blank space and let it show its truest appearance!
But life is often so helpless. The more you think about it, the more you can’t remember it. The more you want to break free from that layer of constraints, the more you will get deeply trapped in it! Gradually, you can’t extricate yourself!
...
"Brother Chengjie, why are you standing here?" Wang Lianmin jumped out of the carriage and saw Li Chengjie standing here blankly, so he came over and said hello.
When Li Chengjie was pushed by Wang Lianmin, he broke free from his memory.
"Lienmin? Why are you here?" Li Chengjie asked blankly when he saw that Wang Lianmin was pushing him.
"Brother Chengjie is like this. Are you going to go to Geng Shangshu here for a banquet?" Wang Lianmin looked at Li Chengjie and asked with a strange look, "It was Li Chengjie's banquet with him. Did he forget it?"
"Oh! Yes! Let's go, hurry up. The first time I'm visiting Lord Geng's mansion, I'm late but a little bit late
It's not very reasonable!" Li Chengjie also remembered that he was going to the banquet! He quickly found an excuse and changed the topic just now.
It's true that he can't tell what happened to him just now, and he doesn't have to say so much to Wang Lianmin...
"Brother Chengjie, it's too late to leave. Wang came by a car, let's go together. You can still drive a few minutes faster, and you shouldn't be able to miss the time." Wang Lianmin was still afraid that Li Chengjie would be polite to him, so he pulled Li Chengjie up and walked towards the carriage.
But Li Chengjie was not polite to him, and jumped into the carriage, then sat opposite him, and fell into deep thought.
"I really didn't say anything polite..." Wang Lianmin looked at Li Chengjie like that, obviously he wouldn't talk to him. Wang Lianmin was in a jealous heart.
"When did you think of it just now?" Li Chengjie got on the carriage and showed thoughts again.
"No, am I so forgetful now?" Li Chengjie sighed in his heart. He seemed to have forgotten everything that happened just now.
When I recalled this time, it was no longer blank, but dark. Li Chengjie didn't know where he should start to recall...
"Damn! It's a hell in broad daylight!" Li Chengjie was upset and cursed softly.
"Hey, Brother Chengjie, it's almost the hour of You, and it's almost dark!" Wang Lianmin listened to Li Chengjie's words and looked at his appearance, and inexplicably wanted to make fun of him.
"It's dark?" Wang Lianmin didn't expect that Li Chengjie didn't hear his teasing tone.
Li Chengjie lifted the curtain and looked outside. Then he sighed and said, "Yes. It's dark..."
Wang Lianmin couldn't help but touch the sweat on his head. He was really confused by Li Chengjie. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was extremely strange!
"Hey, Lianmin, you don't need to be so nervous. If Shangshu Geng really made any excessive requests today, I will help you resist it! It shouldn't be too difficult for you, relax!" Li Chengjie looked at the sweat coming out of Wang Lianmin's forehead. He didn't think he had any fault in his behavior just now. He just thought that it was about to arrive at Geng's house. Wang Lianmin was just afraid of "the son-in-law's misery is too much", so he sweated on his forehead!
"Haha, okay, okay! Then thank you Brother Chengjie!" Wang Lianmin hurriedly bowed and thanked. Even when Li Chengjie was involved, he no longer thought of Li Chengjie who was a bit weird just now.
"I still miss others, I'd better think about my fate tonight!" Wang Lianmin became sad again when he was told by Li Chengjie...
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Then I heard the boy with his horse say, "Young Master, you're in Geng Mansion!"
Li Chengjie and Wang Lianmin looked at each other, and they both tidied up their clothes a little, then got up together and jumped out of the carriage.
"Brother Chengjie, please?" Wang Lianmin got out of the car and made a polite gesture of invitation.
"Haha, let's go together. Just pay for a banquet. Can Lord Geng still be ready to eat people?" Li Chengjie said with a smile. Then he invited Wang Lianmin to move forward with him very friendly.
In theory, as the two are now identities, Li Chengjie is the third-rank minister of the Dali Temple in the court, the top scholar in the imperial examination, and Wang Lianmin is the young censor of the Censor Taixin. He is determined to be from the fourth-rank official position and the Tanhualang in the imperial examination. From that perspective, Li Chengjie should go ahead and Wang Lianmin serve the descendants.
But Li Chengjie knew that the person who was honest and the person Geng Shangshu wanted to entertain the most was Wang Lianmin. If he went to someone else's house for the first time, letting their "future son-in-law" walk behind him would a little refute Geng Shangshu's face.
So Li Chengjie deliberately pulled Wang Lianmin to his side, and the two walked side by side towards Gengfu!
