Chapter 27 Do you want to go to the temple?
Holding the sword case in one hand and Fan Xian in the other, Zhou Ji hurried on his way again. This time his speed slowed down a lot, not because of Fan Xian's previous complaints, but because he was really tired.
"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have let you come."
Being caught under the arm was more embarrassing than imagined, Fan Xian adapted to slow down a lot, complained: "My leg injury is almost healed, and with Wang Qinian helping me, just me and him are enough to catch up. To Sirius."
"You think I want to come?" Zhou Ji gritted his teeth when he said this, "You don't know how scary your Aunt Liu is, and your father, good guy, just like the interrogator, I'm not that scared when I see the police. "
Fan Xian laughed out loud, but was stunned by the bumps again, coughed a few times and didn't dare to laugh again, "Then what do you think?"
Zhou Ji said casually: "Your sister is a good girl, and I have some affection for her."
"I treat you like a brother, but you actually want to pick on my sister?" Fan Xian's tone was teased with some seriousness, "Ruo Ruo I watched her grow up, and I can feel that she has a crush on you."
While talking, the two of them walked through the woods, and the eyes suddenly opened up, only to see a gazebo standing in the middle of the barren valley.
"Having a crush and being together are two different things." Zhou Ji put Fan Xian down, sat on the fence on the other side, and said faintly, "I'm not suitable for her."
Fan Xian looked at Zhou Ji seriously, and said in a deep voice, "What's inappropriate? Is it because she doesn't like you? Or you don't like her? If it's the former, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't hand Ruoruo over." for you."
"If it's the latter, I." Fan Xian fell silent, unable to continue.
Zhou Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry, she just has too little experience and is a little impulsive at the moment. After a while, she will calm down and look away."
"So, are you leaving?" Fan Xian glanced at the sword box next to Zhou Ji. This one was smaller than the ones he had seen before, and the shape and texture were indeed the same.
Zhou Ji wiped the sword box in his hand, nodded and said: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, do you know where my previous sword box is now?"
Fan Xian frowned slightly, looking at Zhou Ji.
"If my guess is correct, the fire in the other courtyard of the Lin Mansion outside the capital city should have been caused by that sword box." Zhou Ji quietly talked about the rumors in the morning, "Lin Gong, the son of the prime minister Lin Ruofu, was buried outside the city. The courtyard, together with a dozen guards, were burnt to ashes, leaving no bones left."
"If it wasn't for the white phosphorous bombs and fragmentation grenades, how could they be so powerful?" Zhou Ji said in a deep voice, "After you and I participated in the Jingwang Palace Poetry Club, I found out that someone had sneaked into my room and wanted to imitate it." Sword case."
"That day I confronted Xie Bi'an and threatened to kill him. All the forces in Kyoto thought that my strength was above the ninth rank. In order to prevent my heart from becoming vigilant, they made arrangements in advance and imitated my sword box almost perfectly. The hand of the swordmen forced me to draw the sword."
"It's a pity that they didn't realize that my sword box itself is a trap. Once opened, it will detonate the white phosphorus bombs and fragment grenades in it."
"It can quietly imitate the sword case, and then drop the bag from my room without a trace."
"The whole of Kyoto can do this, I can only guess one place."
Fan Xian exclaimed: "The Inspection Institute!"
Is there collusion between Lin Gong and the Inspection Institute?
Fan Xian felt his mind was in a mess, looked up at Zhou Ji, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and suddenly said: "That's why you want to leave the city with me."
"You want to go out of the city to hunt down Si Lili and thoroughly investigate the truth of the assassination. This is also the best time for me to go out of the city." Zhou Ji nodded and said, "I'm different from you. If you stay, Prime Minister Lin will not let me go, and the Inspection Institute will not." Let me go, I'm afraid even Emperor Qing won't let me go."
Zhou Ji looked in the direction of Kyoto. In fact, these reasons are not critical. In this era of supremacy of force, as long as he still has guns and ammunition in his hands, even Emperor Qing will treat him as a guest of honor.
There is only one real reason for leaving.
I want Fan Ruoruo to forget about him before his vague affection for him turns into deep love.
I also want to stay away from her before falling in love with her.
"Before I leave, I have something to ask you." Zhou Ji's expression was serious, and his tone was more serious than ever.
Fan Xian suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, his face straightened, and he said, "You have helped me a lot these days, as long as you ask, I will do my best to do it for you."
Zhou Ji said in a deep voice: "I want to know the exact location of the temple."
"You're going to the temple!" Fan Xian said with wide eyes in surprise.
"This matter is very important to me." Zhou Ji stared into Fan Xian's eyes and said sincerely, "I hope you can help me investigate the exact location of the temple these days when I'm away from Beijing. I know it's very difficult, but I can only please."
Fan Xian looked at Zhou Ji with a complicated expression. He knew that Zhou Ji's words were not true, and he must be hiding some secrets; in fact, he did the same, concealing the existence of Uncle Wu Zhu and keeping some privacy.
After Zhou Ji finished speaking, Fan Xian's mind flashed the absurd idea that the other party knew that Uncle Wu Zhu existed, and even made friends with him on purpose, just to deceive him about the location of the temple.
Throwing away the random thoughts in his mind, Fan Xian's nature was sincere and pure after all, so after a little consideration, he finally agreed to Zhou Ji.
Si Lili, dressed in white and wearing a black cloak, came slowly from the mountain road. Perhaps he was still secretly rejoicing that he survived the disaster, so he didn't notice the young man sitting in the gazebo.
It was only when the distance between the two sides got closer that Si Lili noticed Fan Xian's figure. He directly reined in the horse's head, pondered for a moment, then dismounted and came.
"Si Lili." Fan Xian turned to look at Si Lili who had walked to the front of the pavilion, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a Northern Qi spy?"
Si Lili looked calm, without changing his face, as if he had something to rely on, he said openly, "Yes."
"I just want to ask you one thing." After the conversation just now, Fan Xian didn't have the heart to play tricks on Si Lili, and said bluntly, "Who is behind the Niulan Street assassination?"
Si Lili's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "Master, you just joked, how would I know..."
Fan Xian stepped forward and interrupted Si Lili, "Is it Lin Gong?!"
The questioning tone made Si Lili focus his eyes, and said with a smile, "You already have the answer in your heart, so why do you need to ask me?"
Noticing the change in Si Lili's eyes, Fan Xian confirmed Zhou Ji's deduction. He couldn't help showing a wry smile, but felt a little bit rejoiced in his heart.
If Lin Gong is not dead, how should he face Wan'er?
Do you want to kill Wan'er's brother with your own hands?
"You should be glad that Teng Zijing is not dead." Fan Xian stood on the steps and looked down at Si Lili, his gaze showing a bit of coldness, "If he died at that time, I would definitely arrest you and bring you back to Beijing for his sake." life for a life!"
Si Lili could hear the change in Fan Xian's tone, and couldn't believe it: "My lord, do you want to let me go?"
Fan Xian snorted coldly and turned around, but he didn't even want to look at Si Lili again.
"Until I change my mind, get out!"
