Zhang Ren looked at the lights in the distance and asked, "Since you are not interested in money, why do you come to Jinling City to sell knives on credit?"
Zhao Shannan also looked into the distance and said, "Maybe it's to escape, or maybe I want to see all the beautiful scenery in the world, but it's a pity that my eyesight is not good, so I can't see many scenery clearly. I can’t see clearly either.”
Zhang Ren was a little confused and asked, "You seem to have something behind your words? Why can't I understand you?"
Zhao Shannan just smiled and refused to say anything.
Zhang Ren made a sound and said: "Another one who is pretending to be sophisticated. It's really tiring to talk to people like you."
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he walked directly out of the range of the oil-paper umbrella, and the light rain fell on him again. He took a few steps, but Zhao Shannan behind him suddenly said: "I told you that there will be a bloody disaster within a month. But there is another thing I said later that you seem to have forgotten, if there is no help from noble people, my life may be in danger."
Zhao Shannan's words seemed to ignite a glimmer of hope in Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren turned around and asked, "What if someone can help me? You mean, someone will help me?"
Zhao Shannan pointed to the sky and said, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."
Zhang Ren couldn't figure out whether Zhao Shannan was an expert or a charlatan. Anyway, his words were all vague. He knew that he probably couldn't get anything useful from Zhao Shannan, so he simply turned around and left. .
Zhao Shannan smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: "I've been told that it's not good to get wet in the rain, but I still have to get wet. After all, I'm a bit younger."
After Zhao Shannan finished speaking, he directly threw the oil-paper umbrella in his hand into the Qinhuai River, turned around and walked towards the place where the fireworks were lit.
Zhang Ren returned directly to Jinyiwei. He kept thinking about Zhao Shannan's words all the way. He had thought about finding help before, but Jiumen's hand was too long. Zhang Ren couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, so he could only decide to do it himself. Against the Nine Gates.
But now Zhang Ren really doesn't have the confidence to defeat Jiumen, and it seems that finding helpers has become the only way out.
Think about it, among the people Zhang Ren knows, there should be four who have the strongest martial arts, Luo Kedi, Gao Haiyong, Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue.
Eunuch Jia and Granny Sun were considered to be members of the Zhan family, and they had the responsibility to protect the prince. Moreover, Zhang Ren did not have a close relationship with these two people, so it was unlikely that they would help.
Although Master Luo is Zhang Ren's master, with his indifferent temperament, Zhang Ren is really not sure that he can convince Luo Kedi to deal with Jiumen.
Then the only one left is Gao Haiyong and Gao Qianhu. Zhang Ren and Gao Qianhu have handled cases together and have a lot of intersections. I guess if you ask, Gao Qianhu will always help.
Zhang Ren thought and walked towards Gao Qianhu's small courtyard, but when he arrived, he found that Gao Haiyong was not there. If he is not here at this time, he is either on duty or handling a case, so Zhang Ren can only leave first.
Returning to Luo Kedi's courtyard, Zhang Ren found that Master Luo was not there, not only that, but also Senior Sister Li Xue and Zhang Fu were not there either.
This is strange. Although Luo Kedi has a position in Jinyiwei, he never performs his duties, and he will not leave his yard easily. What's more, even if Luo Kedi is not there, then Senior Sisters Li Xue and Zhang It really makes no sense if Sukeya is not around.
Zhang Ren suddenly remembered that he had not seen anyone since he entered Jinyiwei. Where were the people? Where have they all gone? He seemed to smell something unusual.
Just as Zhang Ren was thinking, a sound of piercing the air came toward him. Zhang Ren turned around and grabbed an incoming bow and arrow.
Zhang Ren looked into the distance, but did not see the archer.
He looked down at the arrow again and found that there was a note tied to the arrow.
Zhang Ren took off the note and threw the arrow aside. The note read: Your man is in my hands. Come to Donglinfang to see him quickly.
The signature is written with the words "Dark Lord".
Zhang Ren's pupils shrank and he hurriedly left the Jin Yiwei.
He had to be anxious. The message in the note was very simple, but it made Zhang Ren very confused. He knew that the master must have the hostage in his hands, but he didn't know who the hostage was. It might be Zhang Fu, it might be Ji Gang, or it might be yes
Yu Zhaosen and Guan Shan, or maybe the dark master is far more powerful than he thought and kidnapped the entire Jin Yiwei? Otherwise, why is there no one in Jinyiwei?
When passing by Chaoyang Gate, Zhang Ren unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
It was Wu Peng. He seemed to have just finished a performance and was cleaning up the stall.
There was really no help available today, so Zhang Ren simply broke the pot and came directly to Wu Peng and said, "Monk, there is a murder deal, do you want to do it?"
When Wu Peng saw Zhang Ren, he looked stunned at first, then immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, doesn't the donor not trust the poor monk?"
Zhang Ren really couldn't believe it, but he had no other choice. Moreover, Zhang Ren had seen Wu Peng's iron cloth shirt before. Ordinary weapons could not break through his defense. He was a good helper when dealing with the Nine Gates. At 10,000 steps, even if he couldn't defeat the Dark Lord today, Wu Peng would still be able to break out of the siege with his defensive advantage, and he would definitely not lose his life in vain.
Zhang Ren anxiously grabbed Wu Peng's wrist and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just asking you, there is a murderous business, it's very dangerous, do you want to do it?"
Zhang Ren thought Wu Peng would think it over carefully, but Wu Peng didn't even think about it and agreed directly, "Do it!"
Zhang Ren said: "You don't even ask me what's going on? This matter is really dangerous! You'd better think about it carefully!"
Wu Peng shook his head and said, "The poor monk said that the donor was a good person and all the people he killed deserved to die. If the donor invites the poor monk to go, he will definitely go."
Zhang Ren nodded and said: "Okay, then you will come with me to meet the nine gates of Jinling City. Let's see today how much the dark master is! But you have to remember my words. , if the enemy is too strong, then run away, don't waste your life."
Wu Peng clasped his hands together again and said, "Amitabha, poor monk, please spare it."
Wu Peng simply gave up the stall and followed Zhang Ren directly to Donglinfangxing. Donglinfang is on the east side of Jinling City. It is an inconspicuous place in the outer city. Zhang Ren has been there, but he only remembers a very tall tree at the street corner.
It would take a while to walk this way, and Zhang Ren felt really nervous. In order to eliminate the tension, he could only try to divert his attention.
He asked Wu Peng: "Monk, why do you trust me?"
Wu Peng opened his mouth and replied: "Didn't the poor monk already answer this question? The donor is a good man. He also gave the poor monk a tael of silver."
But Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "Are you lying to me? Can you say something to convince me?"
