Chapter 50(1/2)
"Da da da da!"
On the roof, the tiles that were quickly stepped on made waves of business slight but crisp sounds. If it were in the downtown day, this faint sound would definitely be submerged in the huge noise made by the bustling crowd, but it was clearly audible in the quiet late night.
Luck is a bit of a bad luck.
Bai Shier, who was not escaping from his head, but after all, was a little fleeing in a panic, couldn't help but complain about his luck in his heart.
Otherwise, why didn't nothing happen during the two days when I stepped on the plate? It happened to be the same action plan as the enemy when I started tonight.
After avoiding the hidden weapon that sneaked into attacking him, Bai Shier did not stay any longer. He thought of relying on his own strength to force him, but turned around and ran away.
When the situation is unknown, you have to be timid. If you claim to be outstanding in light skills and good in martial arts, you have to stay and fight against enemies who don’t know how many and where they are distributed, then even if you are the best in the world, you will be killed sooner or later.
Besides, Bai Shier did not forget what his real purpose was.
He also needs to rely on Wu Jian to sneak into the North Pole to bring back the information, so he naturally cannot put him in the danger of exposing his identity.
However, the group of guys who were still chasing him behind him should also be from Di Ting? So, after the leader of Beiji Tian and Di Ting was hung up for two months, did Xuanwu finally take action?
This market is not big. It was just that after running through several roofs, the exit was already close to you. As long as the market left, he did not believe that these people who listened dared to continue chasing him so desperately.
Therefore, he couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning behind these abnormalities.
...
"We are incompetent and let that man escape from the market. Please punish him!"
After discovering Bai Shi Er, he thought Bai Shi Er was just a thief who came to steal, so he rushed to take action. However, after he immediately found that something was wrong, he tried his best to surround Bai Shi Er to block it. However, in the end, a group of spies who were not even following Bai Shi Er's shadow could only bite the bullet and apologize to Xuanwu.
Xuanwu, who heard the report from his subordinates, was not furious, but frowned and began to think.
He knew the strength of these spies under his command. Although he dared not say that he was very capable, he still had unique features in tracking, surveillance, tracking, etc.
But even such a group of people didn't even leave a hair on the other party, which made him feel a bad premonition.
"Lord, could it be that Wu Jian..."
Just as Wu Jian had guessed before, Xuanwu did not leave and was still here to "wait" Wu Jian to give a reply.
Since Xuanwu has not left, the figure in Yexing clothes who had gone to Wu Jian’s old book shop with Xuanwu before, naturally did not leave.
As a subordinate who can go to meet Wu Jian with Xuanwu, his status is obviously not low.
But it is precisely because of this that he was full of hostility and vigilance towards Wu Jian. Because there was no evidence or handle before, he could only bury his hostility and vigilance towards Wu Jian in his heart, so as not to reveal it, which would instead arouse Xuanwu's dissatisfaction with him.
But now, if such a good handle is placed in front of him, it is naturally impossible for him not to use it.
"Probably not."
But to his disappointment, after thinking for a long time, Xuanwu finally denied his speculation.
"It was already afternoon when you went to inform Wu Jian before. After that, until you just went with me to meet him. During this period, he had never left the old book shop, and no outsider had ever entered the old book shop. Unless he knew the technique of transmitting sounds in the vernacular books, he would not be able to notify this matter. Unless,"
However, at the end, Xuanwu couldn't help frowning, as if he had thought of another possibility, his brows became deeper.
"Unless the person had made an agreement with him just now, but because he had been unable to leave the old book shop and went to inform the other party to cancel the meeting, the other party would come as originally agreed."
When he heard Xuanwu propose another possibility of Wu Jian getting involved in this matter, the man in black, who was already depressed because of his previous speculation, suddenly his eyes lit up again.
"That Lord, do you need your subordinates to invite Wu Jian to ask clearly now?"
Worried about "the night is long and the dreams are too many", he immediately volunteered to ask Xuanwu to "invite Wu Jian" and ask clearly.
"Don't be so anxious, bull and taurus."
But at a glance, he could see Xuanwu in his mind, but he did not nod. Instead, he looked at him with deep meaning and said quietly.
"I know that in your mind, Wu Jian is a great threat to you, but what I value is your ability to do things, not your ability to deal with your own people."
"I know my subordinates are wrong, please punish me."
The bull, which was already seen by Xuanwu's eyes, felt a slut in his heart and was cold on his back. When he heard this, he knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, and did not dare to make any excuses for himself. He immediately felt like Xuanwu apologizing, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.
"Okay, get up."
Xuanwu, who was just to hit him, naturally would not really punish him. Seeing that his own knocking had an effect, he put away his thoughts of hitting, waved his hand, and signaled him to get up.
"Wu Jian is of great use to the Lord. If it is not necessary, the Lord will not want to see you conflict with him again. Do you understand?"
As a qualified leader, Xuanwu knew very well that he would give a sweet date with a stick. Therefore, after a whisper, he chose to "expose his feelings" to Niu Jinniu so that he could be relieved.
"Besides, as long as Wu Jian agrees to the request of the Lord, he will leave the capital and sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion as the Lord's Dark Son. The Ning Prince's Mansion is full of dangers, and Ning Prince himself has always been suspicious..."
Speaking of this, Xuanwu paused for a moment and did not say it all, but a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Niu Jinniu with a look that was enough to make Niu Jinniu understand before continuing.
"So, why do you fight for something with a dead man who is destined to die?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
The face that was originally beaten by Xuanwu turned slightly pale, and cold sweats continued to appear on his back. Seeing Xuanwu's eyes and hearing Xuanwu's straightforward hint, his eyes immediately shone brightly again. He bent down and couldn't suppress his joy in his tone and replied.
"But Lord, are we just doing nothing to watch?"
After regaining his spirit, Niu Jinniu couldn't help but feel curious and asked again.
"Of course not."
Xuanwu put away the smile on his face, shook his head, and denied.
"But, I'll talk about everything until dawn!"
...
In the early morning, Wu Jian, who had not slept for almost a night, stared at a pair of "panda eyes" and got up from the bed.
The cold air in winter made him, who had left the quilt, his sleepiness was temporarily dispelled by the cold, and he quickly woke up.
The reasons that made him difficult to fall asleep were not only the secrets that Xuanwu told him last night and the plan that allowed him to sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion, but more so were the movements that came from outside shortly after Xuanwu left.
Thieves entered the market.
This is what he heard from the inside of the house, who was unable to fall asleep for a long time last night.
But last night he knew that almost all the neighbors were from the North Pole or Diting. At the same time, he knew that this poor market could not attract any thieves, but he couldn't believe the movements coming from outside.
In his opinion, it is better to say that Bai Shier wanted to come and meet him in the night before, but he just happened to run into Xuanwu.
And this is exactly the possibility he is most worried about.
Although he knew in his heart that Bai Shier was skilled in light skills and martial arts could also steadily rank among the top experts.
However, judging from Xuanwu's performance last night, his light skills and martial arts should not be underestimated. In addition, with so many people around Beiji Tianhe Diting, Ruoshui Bai Shier did not investigate for a while, maybe he was accidentally killed or even captured alive.
If Bai Shier was killed, it means that no one in the court knew his behavior. After all, Bai Shier had always been in contact with him on one line. In that case, would he have to follow the trend and agree to Xuanwu's plan to go to Hongdu Prefecture, and sneak into the Ning Palace as the only senior executive in Dongjitian, Kang Jinlong, to obtain and convey information for Xuanwu?
Even if Xuanwu is not trustworthy, can he take advantage of this and take the opportunity to escape and go to the territory of Xijitian to seek life with the mysterious Baihu?
And what if Bai Shier was captured alive...
...
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Wu Jian was still thinking about these things, a fierce knock on the door suddenly sounded, awakening him from his thoughts and interrupting his thoughts.
"Here, come!"
The person knocking outside the door seemed to be unable to hold it in his arms. He was in urgent need of a person who needed a pitfall. He was as fast as the toilet compartment that had been closed and closed, and continued. Wu Jian, who had just retracted back into the quilt, couldn't help but endure the cold and quickly put on his clothes while shouting dissatisfied.
"Who is it called a soul in such a big morning?!"
Finally, Wu Jian, who was dressed neatly, quickly walked to the door. Because he was too anxious to be urged by the knock on the door, he started to open the door and unload the board in a hurry.
But when Wu Jian took off a door panel and finally saw the figure who finally stopped knocking outside the door through the gap, he couldn't help but stagnate.
He thought that he could disturb his dream at this time, and he was still persistent, and knocked on the door with a lot of perseverance. He was either the "old customers" he "familiar" or the neighbors who had something urgent to do and urgently needed help. But what he never expected was that what appeared in his eyes was a figure who looked quite strange but seemed to have a sense of familiarity.
"Who are you..."
Although he had already guessed in his mind, it was daytime now, and he couldn't speak nonsense without first revealing his identity.
"Ha, Wu Xing... Cough cough, Manager Wu is really a noble person who forgets things. Why? We just met last night, so Manager Wu didn't recognize him?"
What Wu Jian didn't expect was that the other party directly admitted that he was the man in black who came with Xuanwu last night.
"Oh, it's yourselves. Sorry, sorry. The lights were dim last night and my eyes were not very good, so I didn't look at it carefully and didn't recognize you. I'm sorry."
Wu Jian immediately looked annoyed, slapped his forehead, and apologized to the other party with a look of surprise.
"Well, but I don't know that it's so early, you are here..."
Although he confirmed the other party's identity, Wu Jian was still confused about the other party's purpose.
"Oh, it's not a big deal."
When Niu Jinniu heard Wu Jian’s inquiry, he seemed to be careless and said casually.
"It was just that a little thief who was not open last night came and tried to steal, but it happened to hit the boss of my family. However, although the thief was caught, there was nothing on his body. It was probably because he saw something wrong, so he hid the thing he had stolen somewhere. So, my boss ordered me to come over and ask if Manager Wu had lost anything here? It would be better to use it to pry open the little thief's mouth later."
Niu Jinniu said indifferently, but his eyes were staring at Wu Jian's face and eyes. As long as Wu Jian's emotions fluctuate, he would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.
"Oh, so that's it."
However, what disappointed Niu Taurus was that from beginning to end, Wu Jian's expression did not change much, and his eyes did not fluctuate at all. He was always very calm. At most, after hearing the thief, he looked as if he was surprised.
