After Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo walked out of Baiweiju, they walked side by side on the street. Peaceful and beautiful days like this are rare, and Yu Zhi cherishes such a life.
"Qiuqiu, you found those herbs for me last time, find some more for me." Yu Zhigang used one on Ning Huan, and the effect was very good. Although Yu Zhi used some small tricks to get Ning Huan to fall into the trap, it is true that the torture Ning Huan suffered was significant.
Qiu Ruoruo nodded, remembering the small black ball that Yu Zhi had been tinkering with for a long time in the room not long ago. "Is that thing useful?"
Yu Zhi had a mean smile and replied: "Of course. How could I lie to you, Brother Xiaoyu? I'll give it to you when the time comes, for self-defense."
Naturally, no one dares to offend Qiu Ruoruo in Kyoto. She is protected by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses on the bright side, but what about in the dark? Yu Zhi suffered such an assassination and deeply understood the importance of taking precautions in the bud.
"What are you talking about about the use of the little black ball? Don't fool me about self-defense." Qiu Ruoruo said.
"The shell of the little black ball is just made of ordinary black iron, but it contains grinding powder of fenugreek and snake vine, as well as some other medicinal powders." Yu Zhi smiled cheekily again, "What is the main effect...hehe hey-hey."
Yu Zhi thought of Ning Huan's flushed skin, surging energy and blood, and the swollen and splitting vitality under his crotch... Yu Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Zhifu whispered in Qiu Ruoruo's ear, and Qiu Ruoruo's cheeks immediately turned red.
"rogue."
"It's just self-protection."
Qiu Ruoruo's cheeks were hot, she hit Yu Zhi's arm, and then asked puzzledly: "Qingma grass and snake vine are both extremely common herbs. The former can be used as an anesthetic, but only in large doses is it useful. The latter...the latter has not been heard to have that effect, but the snake flower on the vine has the function of making people's blood surge. But the snake flower is expensive."
Qiu Ruoruo didn't understand that she knew some medical science, but these two herbs alone were not enough for self-defense. Yu Zhiding must have mixed it with some other things.
"When the time comes, I will remove the snake vine, leaving only the paralysis effect." Yu Zhi said looking at Qiu Ruoruo's beautiful face.
A handful of aphrodisiacs are always thrown out of a girl's hands and people will not react. Since the founding of the Chu Dynasty, there has never been a female flower picker.
"Why?" Qiu Ruoruo just asked, her face turned red again.
Why? Of course it's to clear the name.
Yu Zhi put his hands on Qiu Ruoruo's shoulders and said seriously: "Qiu Ruoruo, if you want to become the first female flower picker in Da Chu, you must come to harm me."
Qiu Ruoruo opened her big eyes and blinked, and then she realized what she was doing, and only saw Yu Zhi's figure slipping away.
"Go to hell!"
…
Yu Zhi walked alone to the wonton stall, where he saw the third gentleman last time. Now that I think about it, I still feel panicked.
And here Yu Zhi saw an acquaintance.
Yu Zhi stepped forward, sat opposite the man, and ordered a bowl of wontons. "Madam boss, please add more green onion to the bowl of wontons."
The person opposite is the arrester of Shuntian Mansion, the one who captured Yu Zhi. Logically speaking, how could the Shuntian Mansion's police officers eat at this small stall?
"Wang Shi?" Yu Zhi asked.
Wang Shi, who was opposite him, was not surprised to see that Yu Zhi knew his name. This is something that is easy to learn.
Wang Shi seemed to be about forty years old. At such a young age, he was just a police officer in Shuntian Prefecture, and his career was not very good.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Yu Zhi didn't care, and continued: "That day, you brought people to arrest me. It was true that the Bai family complained, and you had to execute it. However, I never understood why you were so concerned. After thinking about it, I don’t know when I had a problem with you.”
Yu Zhi has a strong thirst for knowledge, especially about these potential dangers. He has read many novels and, in his own words, is knowledgeable about the past and present. Therefore, he knew even more that there were countless incidents where success failed because of a passerby.
Yu Zhi didn't want to be the protagonist of such an incident.
Wang Shi finished his bowl of wontons and even drank all the clear soup in the bowl. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the grease from his mouth.
It was the first time that Yu Zhi saw a rough old man living so exquisitely. The square scarf in Wang Shi's hand and the noisy street stalls were out of place.
"Are you Yu Zhi?" Wang Shi asked, squinting his eyes. "Is your surname Yu?"
Yu Zhi thought this was nonsense. The two characters Yu Zhi, the surname came first and the given name came last. If the surname was not Yu, could it be that the surname was Zhi?
"That's right."
Wang Shi looked determined, picked up the knife on the table, and prepared to leave.
But, Yu Zhi doesn’t understand. He reached out and held down Wang Shi's knife. What if the surname Yu was a mistake? No, why is my last name also a mistake?
If you want to add guilt, why bother?
However, it was difficult for Yu Zhi to accept such an outrageous excuse.
This surname was left by my father and he couldn't decide. Yu Zhi had a dark face. He would rather be charged with robbing and picking flowers, which would make Yu Zhi more acceptable.
Wang Shi pumped his hand hard, but there was no movement. Sitting across from him was a strong man with armor-breaking sixth-grade martial arts energy. If it weren't for Yu Zhi's poor martial arts, he would be the number one martial artist among the younger generation in Kyoto.
And Wang Shi is only a fifth-level armor-breaker.
The two people's true energy competed with each other on Wang Shi's knife.
Yu Zhi was slightly shocked. He had spared no effort to stop Wang Shi, and Wang Shi seemed to be strong enough to compete with him.
"Level 5 Armor Breaking?" Yu Zhinian asked.
Wang Shi frowned, and the struggle between the two continued, thinking: "Being able to know the other person's cultivation level...could his cultivation level be higher than mine?" There was no record of Yu Zhi practicing martial arts in the information he knew.
"With your cultivation level of at least Level 5 Armor Break, it is impossible for you to just be a small catcher in Shuntian Mansion. Who are you?" Yu Zhi asked with a cold face.
Although the fifth-grade Armor Breaker is not strong, it is enough to become a governor in some small places outside Kyoto, and even the head catcher of Shuntian Prefecture.
In the officialdom, there are many reasons for not being promoted despite being powerful, the most important one being offending others.
"You are better than me."
Wang Shi didn't want to admit that this was the fact. Yu Zhi's revealed cultivation has surpassed his own. With such cultivation at such a young age, this young man should not be underestimated.
Wang Shi let go of the knife and relaxed completely. He was willing to have a chat with Yu Zhi.
"Wang Shi joined the army at the age of fourteen and joined the Beidou Battalion of the Northern Army at the age of twenty. However, the Beidou Battalion was disbanded just two years later, and you, Wang Shi, returned to Kyoto's Shuntian Mansion and served as a police officer until now, for a total of eighteen years. "Yu Zhi explained what he knew.
Very clean information, very simple intelligence.
The only thing that puzzled Yu Zhi was the Beidou Battalion of the Northern Border Army. This battalion number was sealed as top secret in the files of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Top secret, what does it mean?
Only the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can view the files marked top secret in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Wang Shi listened to Yu Zhi's words and said: "Since you know the Beidou Camp of the Northern Territory Army, you should know what your father did. This is the principle that the debts of the father should be paid by the son."
Yu Zhi was confused and innocent. Wang Shi probably knew more about his father than he did.
He really wanted to say, I don’t know!
God knows what enemies his father has made for him.
Yu Zhi didn't want to explain anything. It was difficult to make sense to a guy like this who believed that the father's debt must be paid by the son.
"Now I am the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a ninth-grade imperial official. In terms of official position, I am above you, so it is a bit difficult for you to harm me." Yu Zhi said calmly, "And the petty fights on your side are not the same. You can’t make me care.”
Wang Shi was equally calm, thinking that your father's enemies were not limited to Beidou Camp back then.
Yu Zhi looked at the wontons that had just been served and lost his appetite. Wang Shi wouldn't be part of the same group as those who engaged in assassination, otherwise he would be too low-level.
And Yu Zhi thought that he could find out some things that happened in Beidou Camp. Neither Li Qingru nor Qiu Jinfeng wanted to tell them, so they could only explore by themselves.
Wang Shi knew something, but Wang Shi would definitely not tell Yu Zhi.
A few copper plates were placed on the waxy yellow table, Wang Shi got up and left. This time Yu Zhi did not stop him, and then he also touched a few coins and gave up on the bowl of wontons that had just come out of the pot.
Yu Zhi stood up, and he suddenly felt a sharp edge appear around him. In the busy streets and alleys, such an atmosphere of separation between life and death is obviously inappropriate.
Yu Zhi broke into a cold sweat behind him. The owner of this aura had the power to kill him instantly. Thinking like this, Yu Zhi became extremely calm again. He knew that resistance was useless, so he didn't resist.
Standing up straight from his half-crouched body, Yu Zhi left the noisy street with a smile on his face.
…
The sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard in the private school. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there is the sound of reading, and these students are really tight.
People who came out to visit relatives and friends praised her one after another, and then gave some advice to their playful children. This mentality of hoping that their children will succeed and that their daughters will succeed is common in every family, and parents at home can't stand the comparison.
"Young man, are you also a student of this private school?" The old woman held her grandson in her hands and looked at the towering white wall.
"I'm also thinking about how to get into this private school to study. With a good academic voice, this private school will surely come out on top in this year's Qingyun Examination."
"Yes, I don't know who the teacher here is, but the students he teaches are so obedient. When my grandson gets older, I will also send him to study."
Yu Zhi smiled softly and looked at the back of the old woman and her grandson as they left. I wonder if my parents were like this old woman, hoping that I could get ahead. Unfortunately, Yu Zhi disappointed them. The title of "The Shame of Wenwen Academy" is unique to the Chu Dynasty.
Yu Zhi stepped forward, picked up the door knocker and knocked three times.
The sound of reading in the private school did not stop, and after a while, the door opened. A small face appeared behind the door. It was a little girl about five or six years old. She opened her eyes wide and looked at her: "Who are you looking for?"
There was a hint of fear in her eyes, probably from an unfamiliar stranger.
Yu Zhi was slightly startled. He did not expect that there would be such a cute little girl in the killer's den that Ning Huan mentioned. Could it be that this little girl is also a killer? No, Yu Zhi looked at the other party's thighs, which were thinner than his own arms, and dispelled his doubts.
"I'm looking for Mr. Three." Yu Zhi tried to pretend to be calm and said with a smile.
This is the killer's den, and the New Year's party of this group of killers may be being held inside. The killers will naturally kill Yu Zhi as soon as possible if he disturbs this uninvited guest.
Or maybe there aren't any killers inside, just students.
A scholar taught by a killer?
Yu Zhi felt that the possibility of the latter was slim. He touched the little girl's head and wanted to push the door open and enter.
"Mr. Three is not here. You can come back later." The little girl pressed against the door, refusing to let Yu Zhi in.
Yu Zhi didn't expect that a little guy who looked like five or six years old could have such strength, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. "I can go in and wait for him. Your third husband and I are good friends and have made an appointment with me to meet at the private school today."
"No. Mr. Third said that we won't let my daughter let strangers in."
"Nanny." Yu Zhi took out a candy from somewhere, "Look, if I give you a candy, we are no longer strangers, but good friends."
At this moment, Yu Zhi looked like a human trafficker who kidnapped children, and his heartwarming smile was actually a bit lewd.
The little girl took the candy, thinking that it was done, and couldn't help but feel proud.
The little girl looked at the candy in her hand, still blocking the door, with no intention of leaving.
"Nanny, let me in."
Suddenly, the door opened and closed as if it was alive, and hit Yu Zhi's head with a bang as he tried to squeeze into the private school.
"Get in your head!"
It was still a childish voice, but it sounded like an adult.
Yu Zhi was hit by this collision and took a few steps back while covering his head. Hearing the little girl's voice, he felt even more confused. This turn of events seems a little hard to understand.
He looked at the little girl walking out of the door in shock. Looking left and right, he still thought that the little girl was only five or six years old. Where did the old-fashioned tone come from?
"you you you......"
"Your head!"
A whip shadow flew from nowhere and whipped towards Yu Zhi.
"I told you that Mr. Third is not at home, so I have to do it forcefully. Could it be that I am a three-year-old girl who will be deceived by you?" the little girl said, waving the long whip in her hand.
While dodging the whip, Yu Zhi thought to himself, is there such a big difference between three years old and five years old? A three-year-old girl becomes an old woman at the age of five?
Yu Zhi could not escape but received a few whips. The pain was unbearable even though his skin was not bruised.
He couldn't fight with his hands, but with his words, Yu Zhi had never been afraid of anyone. Seeing that the little girl was so disdainful of the candy, yet she ate it, Yu Zhi naturally retorted angrily.
"Then you still eat it!"
"What does it have to do with you that I'm eating from my mother? I don't want you to talk any more."
The whip became stronger and stronger, and Yu Zhi also received a few more blows. He intuitively felt that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, and at most he wanted to teach him a lesson.
The little girl is not a five or six year old girl, in fact she is already a woman in her thirties. Yes, she is a dwarf, a killer dwarf. On weekdays, she pretends to be a cute girl, but when people can't see her, she kills people secretly with this look that makes people feel so affectionate.
Who would doubt a little girl?
Her young appearance and tender voice are her best disguises.
Yu Zhi was no match for the little girl, so he had to hide around. He tried to break in several times, but was blocked by Whip Shadow.
Regardless of the pain, Yu Zhi saw the whip flying towards him. He reached out and grabbed the whip, and the whip also left a blood-red mark on his palm. "If you don't let me see Mr. Third this time, I will bring the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division over next time to take care of you."
The little girl was startled, and her big eyes looked at Yu Zhi with a sinister look. Such an attitude was not something a five or six-year-old girl could do, and Yu Zhi had just thought of it.
"You know this place?"
"I don't know how I dare to come?" Yu Zhi responded.
"I know, but you still dare to come." The little girl's voice was full of anger. Yu Zhi's words were really contemptuous, indicating that he knew that the private school was not an ordinary private school, but he still dared to come. This commendable act of courage clearly did not take the killers in this private school seriously.
Yu Zhi held the whip tightly so that the other party could not pull it back. He pulled it a few times, and when he was sure that the little girl on the other end of the whip who called herself my mother could not whip him again, he continued: "Mr. Three wants to kill me, why don't you come out and see me? I'm right here, please Mr. Three is here to kill me.”
What is arrogance? This is arrogance.
Yu Zhi's voice penetrated into the private school, causing the neat sound of reading to stop suddenly, and making everyone inside and outside the private school stunned.
Who is Mr. Three?
This is one of the top ten assassins in the Chu Dynasty. The killer bosses with such names have already secured their positions and are in jail, making it difficult for others to kick them down. The guy in their hands is not the one who has hundreds of lives, but there are many famous martial arts experts among them.
Laughter came from the private school. It turned out to be one or two, and then there was a burst of laughter, with some knocking sounds on the table mixed in. In the end, even the little girl laughed.
Yu Zhi could imagine the scene behind the door.
Yu Zhi was very angry. He felt that he was the one who was insulted.
"Do you really know where this place is? Who is Mr. Third?" The little girl looked at the demented boy with sympathy. This was also the first time she met a guy who came to the door to beg for death. This person is either a fool or an idiot.
"Let's go. Seeing how foolish you are, I will show kindness and stop dragging you to fill in the moat."
Yu Zhi touched his nose with his free hand. "There are still many good people in the world." After sighing, he felt that the fierce little girl was scolding him. He felt a little embarrassed, turned his head and looked behind him, no one was there. He didn't know what he was looking at, and said, "I'd better ask the third gentleman to come out and kill me, otherwise my trip will be in vain."
"Mr. 3 is not here." The little girl said a few words to Yu Zhi patiently. Perhaps because of the warm sunshine today, or perhaps because of the candy Yu Zhi gave her, the little girl was very kind today.
"really?"
"really!"
"That's such a pity." Yu Zhi felt quite regretful and even sighed.
Regret, sigh?
Regret that you lived too long?
Sighing that the third gentleman couldn't take his life?
This guy must be a psychopath.
Yu Zhi threw down his whip and prepared to leave. After taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around, and looked sincere.
"There are no guys among you who are above the sixth level of armor-breaking, so you can just let them kill me."
