Although the situation changed drastically, Lu Heng still did not lose his face in shock. On the contrary, he seemed extraordinarily calm.
The moment the killer pretending to be the store owner stiffened, Lu Heng had already grasped the edge of the table with both hands.
Both sides moved almost at the same time. When the killer shattered the wooden plate and took out the dagger, Lu Heng also used his greatest strength so far to overturn the table and block it in front of him. At the same time, he reached out to pull the table beside him.
Bai Suyan, retreat together.
However, when I stretched out my hand, it came up empty.
Lu Heng felt a little annoyed and secretly scolded Bai Suyan for not knowing what was good and what was good. It was already this time, so why were he running around?
At this moment, he really forgot that the fake young master next to him was a super master with unparalleled martial arts. He just regarded her as a weak woman, and he became anxious and wanted to take her to escape with him.
After catching up all of a sudden, Lu Heng was inevitably a little anxious.
In a hurry, he turned around and took a look, only to find that Bai Suyan had rushed in front of him at some point. The morning wind was strong, and her clothes whistled with the wind. Her beautiful eyes were filled with ice and cold.
.In her hand, the Autumn Water Sword lay across the air, its cold light flashing, and its gleaming light shining brightly. But the edge of the sword had already penetrated deeply through the table.
The table seemed to be fixed on the killer's chest. After the sword passed through the table, it effortlessly penetrated the killer to the core.
Streams of blood spattered from the wounds on the table.
On the other hand, the preemptive killer had not yet raised the dagger in his hand. Blood was foaming from his mouth. His eyes were full of shock and fear when he looked at Bai Suyan. His body was swaying, but he could not fall to the ground.
.
Bai Suyan glanced at him calmly, flicked her wrist, and pulled the sword out of the killer's chest with a snap.
With a crash, the table that was propped up in the air fell to the ground and instantly split into a pile of broken wood. At the same time, the killer spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth and fell backwards with a splash.
The dagger in his hand splashed on the ground with a clanking sound, and then jumped into the gutter by the roadside. It made a bubble with a clunking sound, and then sank into the gutter.
Lu Heng, who was about to pick up the murder weapon as evidence, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he saw this scene.
Turning his head, he coughed and said to Bai Suyan, who put the sword in its scabbard: "Let's go, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble if someone sees us later!"
Bai Suyan turned her head and glanced at him lightly, nodding lightly.
Before leaving, Lu Heng looked back at the wontons scattered all over the floor, curled his lips, and said with a little regret, he was an honest man, and he gave thirty cents of wontons for ten cents.
Oh, what a pity. I haven’t eaten yet.
Taking advantage of the light dew of the morning, there were few people in the town. The two of them walked to the pier unhurriedly, hired a small boat, and headed downstream along the river.
After walking for a while, Lu Heng thought about it and asked the boatman to dock. After that, after sending the boatman away, he changed to a larger boat, and then the two of them headed towards Jiangning.
Bai Suyan, who had been following Lu Heng quietly, became even more curious when she saw Lu Heng's cautious and extremely professional counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
What did this scholar do before? His ability to evade detection is even better than his own.
To be honest, Bai Suyan never expected that she would have to change ships just now.
After Lu Heng smiled and explained to him the time difference and some knowledge about counter-reconnaissance, she realized that with this change of ship, the detectives in Chibi Town would never be able to track down the two of them.
Of course, before boarding the ship, Lu Heng awkwardly asked Bai Suyan for some money to buy two sets of clothes. The two of them put on new gowns before boarding the ship.
On the bow of the boat, the two men stood side by side. The river wind blew by, the river water was rushing, and the boat traveled thousands of miles a day.
The skirts of their clothes were moving with the wind, and they held feather fans on their chests. They were really two handsome and graceful men. Especially Bai Suyan, who had changed into a white gown. Although she was wearing no makeup and no makeup, her pair of extremely beautiful eyes and
Those fair and handsome cheeks made the boatmen on the boat have some dirty thoughts in their hearts.
If I'm good at this, I'll pamper him!
Bai Suyan glanced occasionally and could see the lustful eyes of the boatmen. She frowned slightly and became a little angry. When she turned her head, she became even more angry. She saw that the scholar who was standing next to her just now was hiding far away.
Moreover, he looked at himself with a very strange look, as if he was a person suffering from the plague.
"What are you doing?" Bai Suyan took a deep breath and stared at him coldly.
Lu Heng gently opened the folding fan, waved it in front of his chest, and said seriously: "Avoid suspicion!"
To avoid suspicion? To avoid suspicion? Bai Suyan was a little confused and stared at Lu Heng coldly, waiting for his explanation.
"Hey, it's just that you are too charming and graceful, like a jade tree in the wind. Occasionally, when you catch a glimpse, even if you know that you are a man, you can't help but make your heart flutter. I am really not as good as Longyang, so I stand farther away. Okay.
Let others not misunderstand, we just saw some abnormal male-male relationship!" Lu Heng looked forward and said his inner thoughts with a serious expression.
"You..." Hearing the obscene thoughts in the scholar's head, Bai Suyan felt dizzy with anger. However, seeing that the other party seemed to have someone to rely on, she knew that she would not beat him up, so she said with a serious look on her face.
Bai Suyan was suspicious of these vulgar words for a moment.
Is the scholar who was raped and wiped out in ashes while chatting and laughing just now, actually the lewd thief in front of him?
Bai Suyan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She glanced at him coldly, closed her eyes, and said coldly: "Come here, I have something to ask you!"
Lu Heng shook his head resolutely, as if he couldn't even get past me even if he beat me to death. Then he took a few steps away and looked at the rolling river at his feet: "You tell me, I'm listening!"
Bai Suyan was so angry that she wanted to rush over and throw him into the Yangtze River.
Unfortunately, there were many people on the boat and I wanted to rely on him to do things. I had no choice but to suppress my anger, turned my head, glanced at him coldly, and said calmly: "I'll count to three!"
"Stop!" Lu Heng looked defeated and shouted hurriedly. Then, seeing a victorious smile on the woman's face, he sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.
Hey, the big fist is the truth, it is a masterpiece that will never change.
After walking to the woman, Lu Heng glanced at her, smiled and asked, "What's going on!"
In fact, from the time she just killed the killer until now, Bai Suyan has always been hesitant to speak. Even if she didn't say it, Lu Heng could actually guess the problem in her heart.
"The killer is here for you!" Bai Suyan was really not used to it. She was shaking her fan in the cold weather, so she closed the folding fan and held it in her hand. She looked at the rolling river in front of her and the towering towering trees on both sides.
The mountains seemed to be talking to themselves.
Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at Bai Suyan who was looking ahead, nodded with a smile, and said with a hum, "I know!"
"You don't seem worried! Why?" Bai Suyan looked at Lu Heng's worried look and asked softly, feeling a little curious.
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
"What, did I say something wrong?" Bai Suyan looked at him and asked with a frown.
"Is there any use in worrying?" Lu Heng turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
Bai Suyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and said: "That's true!"
The two of them stood side by side on the bow of the boat, with the cold wind from the river still blowing their clothes. After saying these words, there was a period of silence.
After a while, Bai Suyan said to herself: "I don't like to owe people favors!"
Lu Heng glanced at her and smiled, waiting for her next words.
"So!" Bai Suyan turned her head, looked at Lu Heng quietly, and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Seeing Lu Heng turn his head and look at her in surprise, Bai Suyan turned her head away, not looking at him, and just said lightly: "Think of it as an exchange. You help me, and I will help you! Everyone.
We don’t owe each other anything!”
"Then you still owe me!" Lu Heng rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "One is a powerful person in Jiangning, and the other is a minister with great power today. These two are either heavyweights. They are selling out.
Their meat is much more expensive than Jiangning’s!”
"Do you know who sent the killer?" Bai Suyan didn't want to pursue Lu Heng's teasing, but looked at him curiously and asked.
Lu Heng nodded, smiled, and said, "I probably know who it is!"
Su Guangyi, this person is unlikely. Although Su Guangyi seems to be the strongest among the people he has offended so far. However, although this person is narrow-minded and sinister, he is still a low-class character. He
, what is lacking is skill and courage. The reason why Lu Heng has never taken him to heart is that he knows that this person is not a difficult character to deal with.
Otherwise, with his ability in the Jiangning cloth market, he should have been promoted to a high position long ago. There is a reason why he has been staying in this palm-sized place of Jiangning for more than ten years now. Maybe the current emperor
, and also saw the shortcomings of this person.
The only person left is Liu Yuanyi, the head of the Liu family.
In his previous life, Lu Heng had been engaged in strategy and planning for decades, and among the people he had dealt with, except for politicians who played tricks of power, businessmen were definitely the most courageous.
These people are only interested in profit and see everything as money. As long as the profits are big enough, there is almost nothing they dare not do. Urging the government to launch a war, researching viruses, and any number of things can happen to businessmen.
When things threaten their own lives, businessmen will definitely have the courage to take risks.
And Liu Yuanyi is one of these crazy businessmen.
From his greedy stealing of other people's trade secrets to his bold and unscrupulous rampage in Jiangning Silk Market. Finally, he dared to target the palace that was once famous at that time, which shows his courage.
Although there is support from the Su government, it is just an excuse or a ladder. Even without Su Guangyi's behind-the-scenes support, Liu Yuanyi's character will reach this point sooner or later.
However, no matter how cruel he is, he is just a poor guy who fell into a trap.
Feeling the growing feeling of winter brought by the cold wind, Lu Heng tightened his tight clothes and thought to himself, these are the last few days.
More than a month ago, the palace sent someone to Beijing to deliver a letter. Now, counting the days, the imperial edict is almost arriving in Jiangning. During the bonfire two days ago, I heard Wu Ningyuan talking about things in Tokyo, and he mentioned it inadvertently in his words.
The emperor's attitude towards Jiangning at present.
At that time, Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan sighed with sighs on their faces, saying that His Majesty was kind and would never forget Wang Jianfei. Then, they both praised the current Majesty for being kind and wise. He is truly a wise king.
However, Lu Heng pretended to praise these two people, which made him feel a little funny.
The emperor might really remember Wang Jianfei's contribution to the throne, but in Lu Heng's view, the emperor's anger was still a display of the emperor's mental skills.
Through the Wang family incident, he clearly conveyed his firm attitude to the gentry class. That is, the rise of the common people is the general trend. Anyone who dares to resist will only die.
Unfortunately, Liu Yuanyi was tragically and innocently involved in the political whirlpool of the two major classes of the Zhou Dynasty. As the losing party, Liu Yuanyi and the Liu family had no status.
, will inevitably end up with a tragic result of being shattered into pieces.
