Li Zhengyi felt that he was still a little careless. When he was doing exercises in the yard, he was almost discovered by a passerby.
So in the next two days, they changed to activities after dark at night. During the day, they closed the door tightly and hid inside to sleep.
Even though he couldn't see clearly during the past two nights, Li Zhengyi practiced constantly to strengthen his body and skills.
He is quite satisfied with his current abilities in all aspects.
I woke up from bed this afternoon, had breakfast cooked by Pan Jinlian, and thought about returning in two or three days.
So he asked again: "Pack up everything that needs to be prepared and put it in the car. We will leave the city in one day and then go to Hangzhou."
Thinking of starting a new life soon, the joy on Pan Jinlian's pretty face was beyond words.
Not long after I finished my meal, I went to clean up in the dark. Her hope and enthusiasm for a better life in the future made her feel like she couldn't wait any longer.
Li Zhengyi couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye when he saw that she put the square wooden box inside the package used to store personal clothes.
In the past two days, Li Zhengyi had originally thought about asking for the golden scroll to study the calligraphy on it, but he was afraid of being misunderstood and had other agendas, so he never opened his mouth.
Now as the light gets darker and darker, I can only watch it disappear into a pile of fine fabrics.
There was a touch of melancholy in my heart that couldn't be eliminated.
After the normal people had gone to bed, he took more than 20 copper coins and put them on his body and told Pan Jinlian that he wanted to go out and relax.
The weather became colder and colder, Wu Song still hadn't come back from a business trip, Wu Dalang didn't know where he was hiding, and Li Zhengyi felt a little worried without realizing it.
In the dark night, there was almost no one on the street. Unknowingly, we came to a familiar street corner. The usually bustling Wazi entrance also seemed a little deserted.
Huh?
Suddenly seeing that the stall selling mutton soup was still open, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but stop.
Smelling the pure fragrance, he didn't think that the limelight of killing Ximen Qing in the past two days would have passed. Besides, he was wearing a headscarf and would not be recognized.
So after swallowing a gulp of saliva, he walked straight to the mutton soup stall and sat down.
"Boss, let me have a bowl of mutton soup and add some more mutton."
"Okay, sir, would you like some coriander?"
"eat."
"Where's the chopped green onion?"
"Put more in."
"Come on, sir, eat slowly."
Not long after, a large bowl of fragrant mutton soup was placed in front of Li Zhengyi, making him twitch his fingers.
While tasting the mutton soup, I paid attention to the situation around the streets at night.
In the end, as he expected, everything was safe. After finishing the mutton soup, not many pedestrians passed by.
After eating and drinking, he felt completely comfortable. Li Zhengyi threw the money on the table, got up and walked towards Zishi Street.
"Sir, please go slowly."
On the deserted street under the moonlight, Li Zhengyi was the only one walking slowly. In such a quiet environment, his heart slowly calmed down.
At the same time, I was thinking about the mutton soup just now, thinking that I would drink it for the last time tomorrow.
"Brother Li?"
"It's really you, Brother Li. I didn't expect to meet you here tonight. In the past few days, your reputation as the 'Sword of Justice' has made me jealous."
Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance again at this time. The person who called Li Zhengyi from behind was Zhang San, the idle guy he met when he first arrived.
He was still a little nervous at first, but seeing the expression of admiration and envy on Zhang San's face, Li Zhengyi gradually relaxed.
But what Zhang San said next made him feel a little dumbfounded.
"Brother Li, now that you have gained such a great reputation, can you let me follow you in the future?"
"Don't go, Brother Li. We are already acquaintances. I even treated you to mutton soup. As long as you nod and agree to me, Zhang San will be waiting for you from now on."
Li Zhengyi didn't want to pay attention to such ruffians. But when he first crossed over, he did let this guy treat him to mutton soup.
After all, eating people has a short tongue, and Li Zhengyi was embarrassed to speak too harshly, so he turned around and left after a few perfunctory words.
"I have to leave beforehand. Let's talk next time."
Unexpectedly, when Zhang San saw him, he didn't reject him outright. Instead, he followed him like a dog-skin plaster, as if he would not leave if he didn't agree.
"Brother Li, don't leave. Please wait for me."
We were almost at the corner of the street. No matter what, we couldn't let this guy find out that he was hiding in Purple Stone Street.
Li Zhengyi frowned, with a displeased expression on his face and prepared to turn around and stop.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
That kind of pain was something he had never experienced before, as if something was trying to tear open his flesh and blood and burrow inside.
"ah……"
The moment the severe pain struck, he couldn't help but want to scream, but the severe pain that penetrated into his bone marrow was so unbearable that it not only made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Even the sound coming out of his mouth turned into a hoarse cry, like a worn-out bellows.
With difficulty, he moved his body to lean against the wall. After slowly turning around, he found that the expression on Zhang San's face had become extremely unfamiliar, with a hint of hatred in the indifference and ridicule.
I saw him standing two or three steps away from Li Zhengyi, jokingly looking at his miserable appearance and saying: "It hurts, I think it must be very painful. I picked up that thing at the gate of hell, but it will go there It’s drilled into the flesh, now this is the only one left, so I’ll give it to you.”
As he spoke, Zhang San's expression became extremely sinister, and he said to Li Zhengyi with some gritted teeth: "I don't care what your mission is, and I don't bother to talk to you, a rookie."
"But you should never, absolutely shouldn't kill that Ximen Qing and ruin my plan to kill Wu Song!"
"Ximen Qing is dead now. Since you can escape, Wu Dalang must have escaped as well."
"It's all your fault that things have developed into this situation! It's all my fault for you, a rookie who has never even experienced a mission!"
"I was ready to think of other ways, but I didn't expect that I would meet you again here. It's not too late. As long as I kill you and Pan Jinlian, and then put the blame on Wu Song, maybe I can still fish in troubled waters. , complete the task successfully.”
Li Zhengyi heard what Zhang San said, or it could be said that he didn't hear it.
All his thoughts were now disturbed by the extremely severe pain in his lower back, and he felt as if something was actually drilling into his body from his lower back.
With great fear in his heart, he wanted to return immediately, but he was stared at by the person in front of him...
