In the end, Zhang Ren did not go to chat with the little beggar Yuanbao, but hurried back to Jinyiwei.
In the city of Jinling came Zhao Shannan, a magic stick, and Wu Peng, a monk in an iron cloth shirt. Both of them spoke and behaved very suspiciously, and they didn't look like good people.
When they arrived at Jinyiwei, Zhang Ren directly told Luo Kedi about these two people.
Luo Kedi didn't say anything, just picked up the wine jar and walked out.
Zhang Ren immediately asked: "Master Luo, what are you doing?"
Luo Kedi had a serious look on his face and looked back: "That monk who returned to secular life in Shaolin is not bad. If the person who borrowed the knife in your mouth is really the assassin last time, I am afraid no one in the Jinyi Guards can catch him except me. Last time It almost killed you, so as a master, I naturally want to have a look. If you die in the hands of others, I, as a master, will lose my face."
The first half of the sentence moved Zhang Ren a little, and the last half of the sentence poured a basin of ice-cold water on him. But then again, is the knife loaner named Zhao Shannan that powerful?
…
It started to rain lightly in Jinling City. Zhao Shannan returned to the inn, took out a guqin and played it in tune with the sound of rain falling outside the window.
This piece of music is slow, and every syllable can be heard clearly. The sound of the piano passes through the rain curtain, seeming to make the whole world calm down.
"Now that you're here, why hide? Come out." Zhao Shannan said while playing the piano.
A figure holding a wine jar fell from the beam and sat in the room minding his own business.
This person is none other than Luo Kedi.
Luo Kedi raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "I didn't expect that the leader of the knife loaner would come to Yingtian. You are so courageous. Others don't know your details, but I know it very well."
Zhao Shannan's piano sound seemed to be a little more urgent, "I asked who it was, but it turned out to be Luo Kedi."
Luo Kedi said: "How many days has the leader been in Jinling?"
Zhao Shannan replied: "I just arrived today."
Luo Kedi frowned, "A few days ago, a useless disciple of mine was assassinated. The man was masked, but his internal strength was quite good. I wonder if this has anything to do with the leader?"
Zhao Shannan shook his head and said: "Really, I came to Jinling here just for sightseeing. I have nothing to do with your apprentice's assassination. Brother Luo, can't you just let me live in peace?"
Luo Kedi said: "It depends on whether the leader is safe or not. Since the leader said it has nothing to do with him, then Luo will believe it. There are not many people in the world who can make me believe what they say."
Zhao Shannan said with a smile, "Should I be deeply honored?"
Luo Kedi said: "Who in the world doesn't know that the leader is good at divination on the May Day, is proficient in poetry, lyrics, and songs, has knowledge of all three religions and nine streams, and knows all the music and music of medicine and poison? It is right for Luo to believe in the leader."
Zhao Shannan said: "Brother Luo has changed a lot. Back then, you would never have said such complimentary words. We don't have to beat around the bush. Brother Luo just says it directly."
Luo Kedi nodded and said: "That's fine, I don't like talking like this myself. Why don't you help me figure out who wants to kill my apprentice?"
Zhao Shannan was puzzled, "Back then, there were wars all over the world. I remember that Brother Luo also had a few apprentices. I didn't see Brother Luo caring so much when he died."
Luo Kedi said: "I smell a hint of danger. My stupid apprentice seems to have become a pawn in someone else's plan. Today's peace is just under the sun, and there is still a lot of evil behind it. This Jinling City seems to be in chaos. I don’t want it to be messy, I can’t see clearly myself, so I always ask someone who can see clearly for advice.”
Zhao Shannan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Luo is joking. I am a credit card dealer, not a fortune teller."
Luo Kedi nodded and said: "I'll lend the knife to the leader on credit, and the leader will help me show the way."
Zhao Shannan said: "What a coincidence, all the goods I brought have been sold out on credit."
Luo Kedi frowned, "But you just arrived today."
Zhao Shannan said: "Brother Luo is my disciple. He is really my lucky star. As soon as he appeared, he immediately let all my goods go out on credit. He chose the road by himself, and naturally he has to solve the disaster by himself. .”
Luo Kedi said: "The leader is really powerful. I didn't even say who it is. The leader already knows that he is my apprentice? In this case, I went back. I also want to advise the leader. Since he doesn't want to participate, the leader should have done it earlier. Leave, otherwise..."
There was a lot of threat in these words, but Zhao Shannan didn't seem to be afraid. He said: "It's impossible to leave. I haven't got back the money for the things I borrowed on credit. Besides, I've been traveling all the way. You have to see the scenery, you have to see the people, you have to see the things no matter what, otherwise this life will be boring."
After Zhao Shannan finished speaking, the speed of his playing the piano suddenly changed. The beautiful sound of the piano seemed to be mixed with a lot of murderous energy, and his inner strength seemed to be hidden in the sound waves.
Luo Kedi took another sip of wine, sighed and threw the wine jar towards Zhao Shannan.
The internal force contained in the wine jar collided with the internal force in the sound waves. The wine jar fell apart in mid-air, and the remaining wine inside spilled all over the floor. The sound of the piano also stopped at this moment. The strings of the piano in Zhao Shannan's hand were broken. .
Luo Kedi shook his head, "It's a pity that I have such a good bottle of wine. What kind of sound waves can the leader send out if nothing happens?"
Zhao Shannan smiled and put the broken string of the piano aside, and said: "It's not because Brother Luo threatened me, I'm a little scared. Of course, I'm also a little bit shy myself, and I can remind Brother Luo that sometimes I'm afraid." It’s not necessarily worth believing.”
Luo Kedi raised his eyebrows, "The leader said so, be careful not to leave when you want to."
Zhao Shannan also raised his eyebrows, "Wouldn't it be nice to accompany Brother Luo?"
Luo Kedi turned around and walked into the rain curtain along the window, "Farewell!"
Zhao Shannan cupped his hands towards Luo Kedi's back, "I won't send it off!"
In the rain, Luo Kedi returned to Jinyiwei. Fortunately, it didn't rain heavily today, and Luo Kedi had the inner strength to protect his body, so he was not soaked by the rain.
Seeing Luo Kedi coming back, Zhang Ren asked: "Master Luo, are you back so soon? Did you capture the knife dealer named Zhao Shannan?"
Luo Kedi shook his head and said: "The assassination has nothing to do with him. Now it is still unknown who wants to kill you. Remember to be careful when you go out."
Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards Luo Kedi Gong and said, "Yes, thank you Master for your concern. If nothing happens, I will go down first."
Luo Kedi didn't say anything more, but waved his hand towards Zhang Ren.
When Zhang Ren reached the gate, Luo Kedi seemed to suddenly think of something, "Come back!"
Zhang Ren was puzzled. His master went out for a trip, but why was he so startled when he came back? He asked Luo Kedi: "Master Luo, what else can you do?"
But Luo Kedi said with a straight face, "Remember, you owe me a jar of wine! Good wine!"
Since when did I owe Master Luo a jar of wine? Zhang Ren couldn't think clearly, but then he thought about it. On this rainy day, Master Luo was still going out to find out information about the assassins. It was only right for an apprentice to buy a jar of wine for his master.
