Chapter 1394 Leaving the city, ambush outside the city
Yuan Lu carried two food boxes and placed them on the table. He pointed at the food box on the left and asked Zhou Chen.
"Brother Zhou, you asked me to buy this for that sister. Do you want me to send it to her?"
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Yuanlu."
"It's okay, I just happened to go see that sister."
Yuan Lu carried the food box and went to the guest room where Ren Ruyi rested. He was a kind-hearted person. When he saw Ren Ruyi in such miserable condition last night, he felt very pitiful for her and wanted to take care of her.
Ning Yuanzhou picked up a piece of cake, tore a small piece into his mouth.
"You are very concerned about that Bai Que from Zhu Yiwei. You don't really have a crush on her, right? You know very well what kind of person Bai Que is. There are so many women in the world, why would you fall in love with just one Bai Que?
She is beautiful, but there are women more beautiful than her."
It's hard to say whether it was because Zhou Chen had seen Yi Nian Guan Shan or because of the mission. Since Ning Yuanzhou misunderstood, he would admit it.
"There are three thousand weak water, I only take one scoop. If you like someone, do you need a reason?"
"Don't you need it?"
"do you need?"
"Hey, how do I know if I need you? I don't like women. Uh, no, I mean, I have never met a woman I like."
Although Ning Yuanzhou is thirty years old, he has always worked for Liu Daotang. There are many female Tiqi who admire him, but he has never developed the relationship between men and women at all. He really has not experienced what love is like.
Pass.
"I'm just worried about you, don't fall into her hands in the end."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "I may fall into her hands, but it may not be a bad thing."
Ning Yuanzhou spat: "I think you are really crazy."
Compared with the previous relationship between the two of them as superiors and subordinates, he felt that talking to Zhou Chen like this now was more relaxed. He really didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen comforted her: "Don't worry, I know what I know. I know her much better than you do. Don't look at her like this now. Maybe you will ask for her in the future."
Ning Yuanzhou looked disdainful: "She is a white bird, I want something from her? What are you thinking? This is impossible to happen."
"Don't talk so eloquently, otherwise it won't look good if you get slapped in the face." Zhou Chen showed a weird smile.
Ning Yuanzhou was a little puzzled: "I always feel like there's something behind your words. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you already know how to be smart when talking."
After a while, Yuan Lu came back to have dinner with Zhou Chen and others.
"You said you wanted to live in seclusion and escape from the world, but have you decided where to go?"
"I haven't decided yet, but no matter where I go, leaving Wu is the most important thing anyway. What about you, after traveling around the world, have you decided where to go next?"
Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou discussed the issues of seclusion and travel.
"I don't care. It's all travel anyway, and it doesn't matter where I go. But if Wu State wants me, I will definitely find a way to leave Wu State first, maybe go to Chu State, or maybe Su State. Anyway, I won't starve to death anywhere.
"
The world is so big that Zhou Chen really doesn't care where he goes. Anyway, he has martial arts skills and various crafts, so he doesn't have to worry about eating, drinking and making money.
Traveling around the world in the ancient world and traveling around in the modern world are both very pleasant things.
In my previous world, I had been a police officer and had not been to many places. In this world, I can travel more and see everywhere.
Of course, before that, the task is naturally still his top priority.
Ning Yuanzhou said leisurely: "I want to find a paradise with mountains and water, and live a peaceful and comfortable life with Yuan Lu."
"Aren't you ready to find a woman?"
"No matter what kind of woman you are looking for, women are always troublesome."
When Ning Yuanzhou heard about women, he rolled his eyes. He didn't want to find any women. She was so troublesome that he couldn't be free and easy by himself.
Zhou Chen shook his head. There may be more unmarried men in the ancient world than in the modern world. Some people cannot afford to marry, and some people are very philanthropic. Goulan brothels in the ancient world are all legal, as long as you are rich or have
Talent, even if you don't get married, you can still have many women.
In the afternoon, Yuanlu went out to do some shopping. When he came back, he brought a piece of news.
"Boss, Brother Zhou, when I was buying medicinal materials on the street just now, I overheard Lou Qingqiang talking to a masked man, saying that all the people from Zhu Yiwei's Wudu branch were taken away by Zhao Ji and the others the day before yesterday."
Ning Yuanzhou was very surprised when he heard this: "Is everything settled?"
"Um."
"Zhu Yiwei's Wudu branch has been doing well in the past few years, and when I was in office, it was never exposed that it could be taken over by Zhao Ji, unless it was due to internal strife among themselves, or someone was cooperating with others.
.”
Yuan Lu praised: "As expected of me, Mr. Ning, I guessed right. The person who cooperated with Zhao Ji and the others was from Zhu Yiwei. I heard Lou Qingqiang calling the masked man, Mr. Yue, I guess.
At least he is a purple envoy."
Ning Yuanzhou nodded, and then asked Zhou Chen: "You are responsible for rebuilding the Senluo Palace, and there is news about the Beast Dao. You should know the details of this matter, right?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "I really don't know this. Didn't I tell you? Zhao Ji just wants to use me to rebuild Senluo Palace. In fact, he doesn't let me get involved in his affairs at all. But although I didn't participate,
We can also guess that Mr. Yue cooperated with Zhao Ji and betrayed his colleagues, probably for money."
"For money? So simple?" Ning Yuanzhou was surprised.
"This is just my guess. To be specific, now that Zhao Ji is dead, only Lou Qingqiang should know the best. If you want to know, just arrest him for interrogation."
"Forget it, I'm a reclusive person, and I don't want to know this."
Ning Yuanzhou paused for a moment and then said: "I just want to tell you that that white sparrow is probably a fish that slipped through the net. You have to be careful."
"Is this the first time you've reminded me? Don't worry, I know for sure that she may not be a good person, but she's definitely not the kind of person who repays kindness with hatred."
Ren Ruyi may not have that much understanding of the human world and is cruel to her enemies, but Zhou Chen, who has watched the entire plot, knows that she is not that kind of evil person. She has her own sense of right and wrong and will not treat those who saved her.
People have evil intentions.
"I really don't know why you trust her so much. You're so confused."
Ning Yuanzhou could not understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. He only felt that Zhou Chen was fascinated by Ren Ruyi and lost his mind.
"Genroku and I have decided to leave tomorrow. What about you, do you have anything to pack?"
"No, you can leave at any time."
He had already secretly made a trip back last night. He had packed everything he needed and was waiting to set off. Although he knew he couldn't make it this time, he still had to make a show of it.
Zhou Chen walked outside the house and saw Ren Ruyi sitting outside. At this time, Ren Ruyi was completely different from the delicate appearance before, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows.
"You've heard everything you need to hear. You should have the answer you want to know."
Ren Ruyi took a deep look at Zhou Chen. In fact, she already knew what they just said. When she was in the branch, she heard the conversation between Zhao Ji and Mr. Yue, but she wanted to find out what happened to Mr. Yue.
real identity.
"Thank you. I will leave after leaving the city gate tomorrow."
Zhou Chen said: "I saved your life, how can you repay me with just a word of thanks?"
Ren Ruyi frowned and asked: "Then what do you want? Money, or something?"
"Has anyone ever told you that you really don't understand anything and have no understanding of the world?"
Zhou Chen's words made Ren Ruyi's expression suddenly change. She couldn't help but think of her benefactor, Queen Zhaojie of Anguo. Queen Zhaojie had also told her that she knew nothing but being an assassin.
Zhou Chen said something similar, which made her feel very weird.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's not interesting. In fact, you are a smart person. You didn't understand it before, but the environment didn't let you learn it. You won't be able to tell it in the future."
Zhou Chen knew Ren Ruyi's childhood experience. In a place like Zhu Yiwei, apart from trying to survive every day, he was learning to kill people and spy on intelligence. How could he teach him a normal life.
Ren Ruyi wanted to ask, but Zhou Chen had already wandered away, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart.
She has lived for so many years and has met many people, but her encounter with Zhou Chen was really unique.
She knew her from the coffin and was lying in a coffin. Zhou Chen had already guessed her identity. Instead of targeting her, he was very kind to her. She felt that there must be some conspiracy, but she still couldn't figure out Zhou Chen's identity.
What is the 'conspiracy'?
