It's early morning again.
"Boss Sun hasn't responded yet?" Ning Zhuo paced in the room with a gloomy expression.
"If he doesn't change his secret code today, it will be the third day."
Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo had many ways of communicating with each other.
Logically speaking, as long as everything is normal, this secret memory will be changed once a day.
"Since the last time Boss Sun was questioned in public, Zhu Xuanji has not appeared again."
"Did he secretly take action against Boss Sun?"
Through extensive information collection, Ning Zhuo spied on a lot of black market intelligence: In the past two days, Sun Lingtong showed up normally and also dealt with some minor disputes in the black market.
"Boss Sun couldn't help himself and fell into some kind of danger. The normal appearance on the surface is just a disguise."
"Even, it's probably not him!"
Ning Zhuo guessed the truth.
Sun Lingtong, played by Han Ming, commands Sun's subordinates and is rapidly infiltrating the entire black market organization to turn it into his own use.
There are also some rumors circulating about Yuan Er.
"Someone wants revenge and wants to attack the Monkey Head Gang!"
"The leader was named Bao Chou, and his whole family was killed by Yuan Yi. After he escaped by chance, he changed his name but not his surname. While studying and training hard, he contacted people who had a deep grudge against the Monkey Head Gang."
"After the Fire Persimmon Festival, the Monkey Head Gang fell into rock bottom. Bao Chou raised his arms and wanted to bring the power he had accumulated for many years to the table to take revenge!"
Ning Zhuo was not surprised at all by this situation.
He had expected something like this to happen a long time ago.
"If Bao Chou really takes action, I can use him, wait for them to take action, and then command Yuan Dasheng to protect Yuan Er."
"However, there are too many gossips about Bao Chou in the hustle and bustle."
Ning Zhuo felt a little strange.
Over the years, he has never stopped collecting intelligence.
Because of this, he developed a keen sense. Sometimes, just by this sense, he could tell which information was false and which information was true.
The information about Bao Qiu didn't make him feel false, but gave him a subtle sense of weirdness.
Ning Zhuo thought carefully and thought of a possibility.
"If I were Bao Qiu, I would never be so grand when seeking revenge!"
"So, this is probably done by the gang elders of the Monkey Head Gang."
"Bao Chou may have reached a contract with someone in the gang, or even some elders, in order to increase the likelihood of successful revenge and reduce risks and losses."
"But the gang elders also have their own selfish motives."
"They need to publicize it first and let the outside world know that Bao Chou is going to deal with the Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Er."
"And when Yuan Er is assassinated and killed, they can take over the entire Monkey Head Gang more smoothly. Because before that, they have already proved to the public that Bao Chou is the real murderer!"
Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo became more certain that Bao Chou and others would definitely take action.
And according to such rumors, I'm afraid the action will be taken within the next few days.
"It seems we need to keep an eye on Yuan Er's side."
Yuan Er cannot die now.
Ning Zhuo also planned to rely on him to deepen his control over Yuan Dasheng and try his best to eliminate the hidden dangers of the agile stage.
"There's something going on with Boss Sun, but it's not the first time."
"At this time, we need more patience and calmness."
In Ning Zhuo's impression, the first time Sun Lingtong was arrested was when he was eight years old.
How can I keep my shoes from getting wet if I often walk on the shore?
Sun Lingtong always resorts to stealing to obtain supplies for daily practice. Sooner or later something will happen.
This time, he was caught by a local gang and thrown into a private prison.
Sun Lingtong was beaten to a bloody pulp and was nestled in the corner of the cell, motionless.
Plop.
Suddenly, both guards fell to the ground, motionless.
Sun Lingtong was startled by the sound and nervously came to the cell door, and then saw Ning Zhuo's figure slowly appearing.
"Brother Xiao Sun, I'm here to save you!" Ning Zhuo looked nervous, and when he saw Sun Lingtong, he was very excited.
"Xiao Zhuo, why are you here alone?!" Sun Lingtong was shocked, his face covered with frost, "Have you forgotten what I taught you? If I fail, you will report it to the official. Let the city guards
The army came to search, disrupt the situation, and create opportunities for me, so I could take advantage of the chaos and escape."
"I reported it, I reported it to the official." Ning Zhuo said quickly, "But they are too slow. I am worried about you. You have been missing for three days. I am worried, I am worried about you..."
Sun Lingtong waved her hand: "Okay, okay, stop talking and open the door for me."
"The situation is very dangerous now. Don't waste any more time."
"What are you talking about? Let's go out and talk about it."
"The key is with the big guard, be careful when searching!"
"Don't worry!" Ning Zhuo ran to the big guard and used the technique Sun Lingtong taught him to successfully find the cell key.
The key is put into the keyhole.
Ning Zhuo instilled magic power and struggled to twist.
A stream of light quickly spread from the keyhole to the surroundings, flowing through the lock, the chain, and most of the cell fence, revealing many patterns.
Ning Zhuo opened the door and helped Sun Lingtong out.
There were monks on patrol outside the cell.
With the help of talismans and magic weapons, the two of them made full use of shadows and blind spots. It took them a while to escape from the enemy gang's base.
Not long after escaping, the gang station exploded.
"Someone ran away!"
"The little thief is gone!!"
"Hurry up and chase them. It didn't take long before the incident happened. They won't run too far."
From the shouts, Sun Lingtong heard the familiar voices, which were the two guards guarding him.
He looked at Ning Zhuo and glared at him: "You used the Mixiang Muyunhe I gave you, why didn't they die?"
Ning Zhuo was a little afraid to look at Sun Lingtong, and said weakly: "I was just afraid that it would kill people, so I specially added some medicinal mud, wrapped it in the incense, and then lit it."
Sun Lingtong's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "If you don't say this now, I will teach you a lesson when I get home!"
After a thrilling pursuit, Sun Lingtong suffered several more wounds and was covered in blood. After paying a huge price, he finally escaped to a safe place with Ning Zhuo.
"How are you? Are you injured? Check your whole body quickly!" Sun Lingtong was so weak that it was difficult for him to send out his consciousness.
Ning Zhuo checked it over and found only some scratches.
"That's good." Sun Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief, then glared and gave Ning Zhuo a shudder.
"You idiot!" he cursed.
"Brother Xiao Sun, I saved you, why do you still hit me?!" Ning Zhuo covered his head, grinning in pain, feeling aggrieved.
"Why didn't you kill those two people?"
"Killing them will give us more time to retreat calmly."
"Instead of being hunted down, I was almost hacked to death by them!"
Ning Zhuo was criticized until he was speechless.
"Yes, I was wrong!" Ning Zhuo took out the elixir and bandage from the storage bag, "Brother Sun, please calm down, your wound is still bleeding."
After a while.
Sun Lingtong was sitting, and Ning Zhuo was bent over, almost forming a white bandage for him.
"Brother Xiao Sun, you should hide during this period and recover well."
"I was wrong."
"Actually, if we follow our previous agreement and wait until the city guards come to disrupt the situation, with your ability, Brother Sun, you will definitely be able to seize the opportunity and escape alone."
"I came to save you, but instead I brought you trouble."
Sun Lingtong exhaled a breath of turbid air, which subsided slightly: "Your biggest mistake is that you are soft-hearted when you should kill people!"
"If you had it to do over again, would you make such a mistake again?"
Ning Zhuo showed hesitation: "This..."
Sun Lingtong was so angry that she snorted coldly and stopped talking.
In the tunnel, the light of the torch reflected the shadows of the two people on the ground.
Sun Lingtong looked at the shadow on the ground, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly realized: "I protected Xiao Zhuo too well."
"If you think about it carefully, when I was six or seven years old, my master had already led me to kill someone."
"Actually, I was wrong..."
"What does Xiao Zhuo know?"
"He is nine years old now. If today's incident hadn't awakened me, I would have continued to make mistakes."
Sun Lingtong asked himself, why did he make such a mistake?
He was thinking of his master.
When he was six or seven years old, his master touched his head and showed a rare hesitation: "Oh, Xiaotong, master doesn't want you to go through this."
"But Master knows that you have to go through this."
"You may feel painful and uncomfortable for a while, but you will understand when you grow up."
Sun Lingtong gathered her thoughts, stared at Ning Zhuo's shadow, and murmured to herself in her heart: "Master, I understand."
Sun Lingtong used a trick.
He lied that he wanted revenge and acted together with Ning Zhuo to ambush the enemy gang members.
In the process, he pretended to act, pretending that he would be caught and about to be killed.
Ning Zhuo fell into the trap.
In desperation, he killed a powerful enemy.
After a period of confusion and sluggishness, Ning Zhuo looked at the dead enemy lying on the ground, his face turned pale, and he suddenly leaned over and vomited.
Sun Lingtong stayed with him.
Watching Ning Zhuo keep vomiting, vomiting, until only the acid water in his stomach is left.
Sun Lingtong teased from the side: "Xiao Zhuo, you are far worse than I was back then. Hahaha."
Ning Zhuo collapsed from vomiting and sat on the ground, staring blankly at his bloody hands.
Sun Lingtong finished cleaning the battlefield and led him to the river.
"Come, let me wash your hands."
Ning Zhuo was as dumb as a puppet, obedient and letting himself be manipulated.
Halfway through the wash, he came to his senses: "Brother Xiao Sun, you are acting, right? In fact, in the last moment, I have a big flaw, and the enemy can easily avoid it."
"But at that time, his movements were stiff, as if he was being controlled by the head of a stick."
Sun Lingtong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I control it."
"Thank you very much for showing me the mechanism book your mother left for you."
"You!" Ning Zhuo was angry.
Sun Lingtong chuckled: "Do you want to scold me or hit me?"
Ning Zhuo was speechless. He gritted his teeth and withdrew his hands, saying angrily: "I'll wash it myself!"
Sun Lingtong was unusually tough and pulled his hand back and continued washing: "Don't move!"
"For the first time, I'll wash it for you."
"That's what my master did."
Hearing Sun Lingtong mention his master, Ning Zhuo was slightly startled and stopped resisting.
Under the moonlight, two young men washed their hands by the river in the fairy city.
What's weird is that the younger one is taking care of the older one.
The blood flowed down the river quickly and was quickly diluted. By the time it crossed the stone bridge forty steps away, there was almost nothing visible.
Sun Lingtong suddenly said: "We are monks, and monks have to fight for their lives."
"Man and man compete, man and heaven compete... In this bet, our basic bet is our life!"
"He was killed by you, but he lost the bet. His soul will reappear in this world in another life form."
"And we're going to keep betting... until the moment we lose the bet."
Sun Lingtong looked at Ning Zhuo's white and clean hands with an extremely serious and serious expression.
Ning Zhuo took a deep breath: "Brother Xiao Sun, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I have remembered it all."
Sun Lingtong shook his head: "Write it down?"
"not enough!"
"Every time I go out to steal, I tell myself before I act that I may not be able to come back this time and may lose my life."
"If this is the outcome of my life's gamble, I accept it."
"I am always ready to accept my own death, even in the next second."
"This is my realization!"
"Where is your consciousness?"
Ning Zhuo was shocked and speechless.
There had never been such a moment when he felt tall from Sun Lingtong's small body!
Sun Lingtong continued: "If one day, I die, don't feel sorry for me, Xiao Zhuo."
"If one day I fall into a more desperate predicament than I did not long ago, and there is absolutely no way I can be saved, don't save me, Xiao Zhuo!"
"There's no need to risk a second life, you understand?"
Ning Zhuo opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
But the next moment, Sun Lingtong interrupted him: "If you are in desperate situation, I will not save you."
"Because I want to save my life and continue gambling."
"Of course, if I have the chance, I will revenge you."
"Right now, I make an agreement with you on this matter!"
Sun Lingtong raised his palms.
Under the pressure of his eyes, Ning Zhuo had no choice but to raise his palms.
The silvery white moonlight shines on the river, creating sparkling waves, like countless fine diamonds dancing on the water.
The leaves on both sides of the bank undulated slightly in the night wind.
Snap.
Two children standing by the river clapped their hands lightly.
Ning Zhuo lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly.
Sun Lingtong's upturned face reflected the clear light of the moonlit night.
Then he grinned, showing his white teeth and a smile.
His voice was very soft and firm: "So, the agreement is reached."
Chapter completed!
