Chapter 365 Night Investigating the Chrysanthemum Garden
In early spring in Jiangning County, drizzle fell one after another, and the weather suddenly turned warm and turned cold.
It was just after Xu time, and most people had already changed their clothes and gone to bed.
The Agarwood Pavilion in Juyuan also became dim before half a cup of tea.
Time is not forgiving. Even an old man who has experienced ups and downs in this troubled world cannot help but feel exhausted after thirty or forty years of ups and downs.
After all, he is already an old man in his sixties.
The wind was gentle, but it opened a gap in the window and sneaked in quietly.
"But... Chen'er is here?"
A slightly tired voice sounded in the pavilion.
"Yes." The person responded quickly.
Although they haven't seen each other for four years, Jiang Yichen's respect for this old man has only increased.
Hearing that the old man was not asleep yet, Jiang Yichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yichen said: "You don't have to get up, Chen'er just stands beside the bed and says."
Although he could only see a vague figure in the dark, the old man felt a rare sense of relief and relief, and said: "Well, it's true that people get tired easily when they get old."
Jiang Yichen said: "Does the old man know that Chen'er is coming?"
The old man chuckled and said, "I have thought about it, but I'm not sure, and I didn't expect you to come so early."
Jiang Yichen said: "The Nether Sect asked me to come to Jiangning, Suzhou to investigate the actions of various parties, so Chen'er also took this opportunity to use it for personal gain."
Jiang Yichen said nothing about the fact that he was already a member of the Nether Sect, because it was the old man's idea to infiltrate the Nether Sect. After so many things happened in the past year and a half, it was impossible for the old man not to know his current identity.
.
The old man said: "Haha, what a fake public servant. Is it Styx's intention to ask you to come and find out the news?"
Jiang Yichen said: "That's what the judges also meant."
The old man sighed: "This is Bai Wuchang's specialty!"
Jiang Yichen said: "In terms of Qinggong and escape ability, Bai Wuchang is indeed superior to me. No one in the Nether Sect can match him in his ability to detect information. It's just that his white clothes are too eye-catching. The leader of the Styx River and the
After careful consideration, the four judges decided to let him go to Pinghai County first."
The old man said: "Ye Lingfeng does have such a weird temper, but it also became an excellent excuse."
"Excuse?" Jiang Yichen heard that the old man's tone became a little heavy.
After a moment of silence, the old man solemnly said: "Yes, it's an excuse to test you. You must have noticed that there are many forces near Jiangning, Suzhou, and those few who entrusted you with this important task are not only trusting you, but also testing you."
"No matter how flawless your previous performance was, no matter how convinced they were, this time they take off your shackles and let you do whatever you want, just to test which way your heart is heading."
"During this period, you must not make any mistakes. Even a little negligence will leave clues and they will find something fishy."
"If not, your future situation will not be optimistic."
Seeing that the old man was so concerned about his own safety, Jiang Yichen, who had not felt the care of his relatives for a long time, immediately felt a warm feeling in his heart. The old man's kindness to him could never be expressed in words of thanks. After a while, he only said "Chen Chen"
I will definitely be extremely careful.”
The old man said: "The death of a mountain lion cannot be hidden for too long. You have to think of countermeasures in advance."
Jiang Yichen said apologetically: "Chen'er has his own way of dealing with it, but for the time being, this debt will be settled on the shoulders of the Daoyi Alliance."
The old man said: "You don't need to worry about this. It doesn't matter even if the Daoyi Alliance admits this matter. What I'm worried about is that the Red Sect won't let it go easily. Although Liang Zimeng is a big boss, he attaches great importance to personal feelings. Shan
The lion failed to get a decent position in the red sect, but he always worked hard to help him with the dirty work, not to mention that the two were cousins. Liang Zimeng couldn't figure out the death of the mountain lion, and he would definitely go to Wang
Shuo, Wang Shuo's intelligence killer network is one of the best in the entire world."
The old man paused and continued: "It won't take long for the Red Sect to realize that it is difficult for the Dao Yi Alliance to free up manpower to rescue Master Murong and his family in times of crisis, especially today."
Of course Jiang Yichen understood what the old man meant. Before he and Ruolan parted ways this morning, Ruolan told him all the news he knew.
At that time, he knew that the main forces of the Daoyi Alliance, including Nangong Yan, Murong Jing and others, had already set off to Pinghai County to make arrangements.
Long Yanling also led a group of people from Yiyun Villa to guard the area around Jiangning County to prevent any unexpected events.
It is a coincidence that Mountain Lion and others have slipped through this solid defense line.
He was originally ordered by his cousin Liang Zimeng to go to Luojiabao on the edge of Jiangning County for a private salt business. After delivering the goods, he was going to lead his brothers to Gusu City to have a good time.
But unexpectedly, they saw the powerful Li Suran and Shuangchi leading a group of people on patrol.
The mountain lion knew that with its own strength and its eight men, it was no match for them, so it hid deep in the forest without any hesitation.
After hiding, he passed directly through Jinglin and came to Biluo Lake.
Next, there was the previous encounter with Ruolan and her entourage by chance, and they abducted her with malicious intentions, but were killed by Jiang Yichen, who also happened to arrive.
Therefore, as long as the Red Sect can find out roughly when the mountain lion died, they can deduce whether it was the work of the Dao Yi Alliance.
However, the Red Clothes Sect and the Daoyi Alliance have vowed to be at odds with each other. One more hatred and one less hatred will not affect the overall situation.
As for whether to put this debt on the shoulders of the Daoyi Alliance, it does not conflict with who will win the battle between the mountain lion and the deer.
Once Wang Shuo's Ji Tang finds out the real culprit who killed the mountain lion, even if the Red Sect will not go to war for him, Liang Zimeng's Geng Tang will not let the murderer live freely.
"Chen'er understands, but Chen'er cannot ignore today's situation." After a while, Jiang Yichen replied firmly.
The old man sighed and said: "But you are still impulsive... You can take Xiaolan away and leave the mountain lion alive."
Jiang Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. What the old man said made sense.
The mountain lion and he both met Ruolan by chance. The mountain lion wanted to kidnap Ruolan, why couldn't he?
In short, as long as the mountain lion's life is not harmed, no matter whether it is the Red Sect or Liang Zimeng, they will naturally not deliberately cause trouble for him.
On the contrary, he killed the mountain lion. Firstly, he had to hope that the Red Clothes Sect was not doing the job well and could not verify that he had done it. Secondly, he had to deal with possible doubts from the Nether Sect, which put him in a dilemma.
situation.
But when he saw Ruolan, his original caution and rationality had gone with the wind.
In addition, when he saw the mountain lion's brutal behavior, he did not hesitate at all when he took action, let alone trying to save the mountain lion's life.
Seeing Jiang Yichen's dull silence, the old man said, "Chen'er, have you ever regretted it?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Regret?"
The old man said: "Have you ever regretted killing a mountain lion?"
Jiang Yichen thought about it for a while and said: "If you don't regret it, give me another chance and I will kill you!"
The old man said: "Have you ever regretted leaving Xishan Island?"
Jiang Yichen clenched his fists and said: "I have no regrets. Even if I can live a peaceful life for another year or two, those gangsters will eventually find the island, and Xishan Island will eventually be massacred. At that time, I will definitely feel sorry for my untied hands."
I am helpless because of my strength, but now, I at least have a chance to avenge Yinniang and those dead friends!"
The old man said: "Have you ever regretted that I trained you as a killer, and after teaching you some skills, I ignored you and put you in desperate situations again and again? Hey, to be more precise, I let you go free.
"
Jiang Yichen said: "If you don't regret it, how could Chen'er not understand the old man's good intentions? I was born in sorrow and died in happiness. If the old man had arranged an easy job for me back then, with the tense situation over the years, I would have died tomorrow.
The killer seems to be the most dangerous under the cover of a gun, but it is also the easiest to improve his survivability. In the end, he can live longer. In this way, his life will not be worthless."
The old man breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "As long as you understand, this road is the hardest to walk, but it is possible to reach the end. This road is also very lonely. You cannot force things like fate. Xiao Lan'er may forget it in the future.
I won’t let you go, but you must forget her. If there is a girl you like in the future, you can pursue her, but you must be able to take it and let it go. Don’t regret the choice you made, and don’t forget it.
Your original intention when you left the island."
"Original intention?" Jiang Yichen was stunned. He had not forgotten the purpose of leaving the island in the first place, but the old man's sudden turn of events still made him unable to recover for a moment.
The old man said: "In addition to helping me, I also want to find your biological parents."
Jiang Yichen suddenly said in shock: "Did I find out about Chen'er's parents?"
