Chapter 121: Surrounded by Monsters (2)(1/2)

Xiao Jiu walked forward, his steps not stopping, and seemed to have not heard it.

"I can also pretend that I don't know anything about your identity."

Xiao Jiu thought to himself with a expressionless face, then I would like to thank you?

Then he heard Zhang Buzhi say again behind him, "Why are you saving that child, aren't you afraid of losing the competition?"

Xiao Jiu just thought that the person behind him was talking to the air, but wasn't talking to him anyway, so he stepped up and left quickly.

Zhang Buzhi looked up at the moon in trouble, from why Xiao Jiu was unwilling to pay attention to him, to why the moon was so bright, it was really annoying, and his thoughts changed only in a short moment.

Then, he seemed to think of something, and his lips curled up and showed a sly smile, as if he was going to have some bad idea.

The next day, Xiao Jiu received an invitation from a servant, saying that Gongsun Sheng asked him to drink at a certain wine shop.

Thinking of the previous bet that Gongsun Sheng lost to him by shooting archery, Xiao Jiu was not suspicious and happily went to the appointment. As a result, when he arrived at the place, he saw a disgusting person who blocked the road last night.

Xiao Jiu turned around and wanted to leave. He already understood that this was the guise of the other party's envoy, and he used Gongsun Sheng's name to deceive him into coming here.

"Hey...what are you leaving?"

"It's really Young Master Gongsun who invited you to drink! I didn't use any tricks to lie to you!"

Fortunately, Zhang Buzhi shouted in time and successfully made Xiao Jiu stop.

He turned around and asked, "Then why are you waiting here?"

Zhang Buzhi laughed and said, "I'll drink my wine, what do you have to do with you?"

Xiao Jiu: “…”

He walked back with a deep face, mainly if Gongsun Sheng really asked him to come, wouldn't he let go of a pigeon if he ran away now?

Let's believe him for a moment.

After a while, Zhang Buzhi naturally hit Xiao Jiu's table and sat down opposite him.

To be honest, Xiao Jiu didn't want to see this face very much, probably because this person was so terrible that night.

Zhang Buzhi suddenly said, "Actually, you came half an hour earlier. Gongsun Sheng came at noon."

Xiao Jiu was silent again when he heard this, looking at him calmly, his expression became even colder.

"You're making the mess?"

In fact, I don’t need to ask, I know that it was probably because the other party used some method to move the invitation sent by the servant.

Zhang didn't know that he had no denying it at all, and admitted it very readily, nodding and responding, "Yes, I'll make him an appointment with you half an hour earlier. Just before he comes, let's have a drink."

The blue veins on Xiao Jiu's forehead twitched for a moment, and he was speechless.

"What do you want to do?"

He went straight to the point and didn't want to waste time with Zhang Buzhi anymore.

Zhang Buzhi smiled and said, "It's rare to meet a confidant like you. Of course we have to have a drink together."

Who is your confidant? Xiao Jiu clearly wrote this sentence on his face, and refused coldly, "Your Excellency has found the wrong person."

I don’t know what I am refusing, maybe it’s about his identity as a spectator in the Spring and Autumn Period, or maybe it’s about the description of a confidant.

Zhang Buzhi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's you. Also, my name is Zhang Buzhi. You can call me Buzhi, or Zhang Buzhi, it's all up to you."

Xiao Jiuxi thought, can he call him Zhang Gou Thief?

But based on his demeanor, this idea only flashed through his mind and was not put into practice.

He took a deep breath and returned to calmness.

"I'm not the Chunqiu spectator you are looking for."

This is clearly enough, it is clear enough. Xiao Jiu doesn't believe the other party and deceives himself.

Zhang Buzhi showed confidence, and insisted, "You are, there is probably no second person like me in this world."

"Who are you?"

"A smart person like me."

Zhang Buzhi said, stretched out a finger and shook it, saying slowly, "The world is the best, unparalleled in the world."

Someone really dared to praise him like this. Xiao Jiu smiled. Putting aside the dog characteristics of the other party, this person is really confident.

Then he suddenly heard the other party say, "After a smart person, I, a smart man, left you quickly that night, checked the list of everyone who came to Kyoto recently. When you won the first place on the day of the palace banquet, you concluded that you were the person I was looking for."

The smile on Xiao Jiu's face faded and he said in a silence, "How do you know that you were not looking for the wrong thing? I don't know you at all. Except last night, I have never seen you before."

"Hey..." Zhang Buzhi shook his head, feeling that Xiao Jiu was dishonest, "Don't you recognize me too?"

"Though you covered your face that day and your voice was disguised, your figure could not deceive people. I don't know how sharp my eyes are. Those who have seen you will never forget them."

"I saw you on the street on the day of the palace banquet. At first glance, I felt familiar. When I recalled the people I had met, the only one that night was the best match for you."

Zhang said in an orderly manner, and while talking, he poured a glass of wine for Xiao Jiu.

After saying that, a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How is it? I, a smart person, should be the first person to see through your identity."

It's like showing off, it's like being proud.

After hearing this, Xiao Jiu remained silent for a long time, and his eyes changed a little when he looked at Zhang Buzhi.

"A person who is too smart sometimes makes people dislike it."

After the latter felt the coldness in Xiao Jiu's eyes, Shi Ran said, "I have no malicious intentions towards you."

"I know you may not know me, Rong Benjun will introduce myself. I am the second son of the Zhang family and the child born from the Zhang family and the Li family. If you want to be unfavorable to me, you have to be careful about my father with a human face and a beastly heart, and my mother who is as poisonous as a snake or a scorpion."

Zhang Buzhihun sighed without fear and said helplessly, "I don't want my surname Zhang or Li, but why did I get married? Although they thought they didn't care about my son, if I die, it's still possible for them to avenge me."

He seemed to be very worried, but Xiao Jiu was silent after hearing this.

Who would describe his parents like this?

"So what do you want to do when you pester me?"

Xiao Jiu didn't know what the Li family and the Zhang family were, but it sounded like he knew that this kid was born into a family.

It is estimated that the other party has a background to live until now and has not been beaten to death. This dog's temperament can be seen from the scene when the two of them first met.

"Hehe... I don't want to do anything, I just want to talk to you."

Xiao Jiu: We have nothing to talk about.

He took a deep breath, pretending to be calm on his face, but in fact he was already restless in his heart.

"If you treat me as a spectator in the Spring and Autumn Period, then we have nothing to talk about."

Zhang Buzhi immediately understood what Xiao Jiu said and smiled with a smile, "Don't worry, I know who you are."

After a pun, Xiao Jiu sighed again without any power in his heart.

I never expected that this guy was still a keen intuition. He kept deciding that he was the person he had met with that night based on his own guess.

"Last night, it was the first question I asked you."

Zhang Fuzhi said.

Xiao Jiu remembered the man asked him last night, and he was silent and spoke in a tentative manner, "Why are you persistent in asking me this question?"

Zhang didn't know: "Because I want to know why you did this."

"Which one is more important, the glory that is won for the country competition and the grassroots child who falls into it? Why did you choose the latter?"

Zhang Buzhi's voice was filled with obvious doubts, as if he was here to ask this question specifically. He wanted to know what Xiao Jiu was thinking at that time.

Xiao Jiu was a little surprised to see that he was not as careless as before and was quite serious.

After thinking about it, he replied, "Where can the glory of the country be safe without the people?"

Zhang Buzhi was suffocated, as if he couldn't figure it out, and could not understand it, "Even if the person you saved was a commoner?"

Xiao Jiu: "There are millions of common people, how many noble people are?"

"Who is not a life?" He frowned, with displeasure on his face.

Zhang Buzhi was stunned.

It seemed as if the sky light was penetrated through the clouds and broke the shackles. He looked at Xiao Jiu with a little shock, which was incredible, and it seemed like he had a sudden realization, and finally turned into complexity.

After counting breaths, Zhang Buzhi left, and left frankly, as if he had come, just to find an answer from Xiao Jiu.

After getting the answer, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Why did Zhang Fuming come to find him?

Xiao Jiu didn't understand this problem until Gongsun Sheng came. Instead, he felt that it was not a good thing to hold his handle in his hand.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

After getting along for a few short times, the relationship between the two became more and more familiar. Gongsun Sheng asked when he saw Xiao Jiu absent-mindedly.

The two sat in a secret private room, with no one around. Xiao Jiu thought for a while and asked, "Does Brother Gongsun know Zhang don't know?"
