194 Remnants 1
After parting with Nian Jiu, Yu Shiqi felt very uneasy. But he still chose to believe her judgment and quietly returned to the gambling shop in the west of the city before dawn broke out.
He put on a worn gray robe, found an inconspicuous corner and sat on the ground, pretending to be a gambler who couldn't help but feel sleepy all night. At this time, there were not many people in the gambler, and Yu Shiqi chose the position to catch a glimpse of the gambling table where the intelligence dealer was located.
The man was still sitting alone at the table, with a wine pot and a dice cup in front of him.
Yu Shiqi didn't dare to stare at him all the time, but he just squinted his eyes from time to time to time and glanced over. While maintaining surveillance, he also had to be careful not to fall asleep because of fatigue and sleepiness.
According to Nian Jiu's speculation, in addition to Yun Zhongjian, at least another force was also obtaining information from this person. After Nie Guijiang escaped, they could not go back to search the dragon pillar for a while, so they could only come here to squat and try their luck to see if they could catch another clue.
There was a sound of rooster crowing outside. Yu Shiqi pretended to yawn and looked at the man again. He found that he seemed to be drunk and was lying on the table and sleeping heavily.
At this time, a footstep gradually approached and came in from outside the gambling shop. Yu Shiqi did not rush to observe, but held his knees and closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
The footsteps passed by him, and the sound of the position was heading towards the intelligence dealer. Yu Shiqi felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate.
He secretly counted the time that had passed after the footsteps stopped. When he counted to ten, he quickly opened his eyes and looked over there.
The gambling table against the wall was empty, with wine pots and dice cups on it.
Yu Shiqi jumped up and rushed towards the gambling table, and his back was filled with cold sweat.
I don't know what went wrong, but he actually lost his target.
It was obvious that the man who made the footsteps just now took away the drunken intelligence dealer, but Yu Shiqi didn't even see his clothes.
If he had known this, he would not have been so cautious and seek stability just now, and he would have missed the opportunity to seize the other party in vain...
"Calm down... Not far away is the back door of the gambling store, and the other party must have left there." Yu Shiqi rushed towards the back door quickly. There was a narrow and winding passage in front. If nothing unexpected happened, the end of this passage was connected to a canal street behind the gambling store.
With a "clang", the sound of breaking the porcelain came from ahead. Yu Shiqi drew his sword in his hand without hesitation, rushed out of the corner, and instantly saw the intelligence dealer who should have been drunk in his dream standing not far in front of him, and there was a person who was lying on the ground between them who was lying on the ground.
The ground was covered with fragments of vases, and it seemed that this was what the man used to escape from the attack of hostage.
"People like me must always leave a way out for themselves." He was not surprised by Yu Shiqi's appearance. "If I had completely hoped that you could take action before this person attacked me, I might have died long ago."
"You know I'm here?"
"From the moment you stepped into the gambling shop, I knew you were there."
"Are you pretending to be drunk?"
"My kung fu is much better than yours." He smiled jokingly.
Yu Shiqi glanced at the fragments of the vase and asked, "Where did this thing come from? You can't carry it with you, right?"
The man stretched out his finger and pointed above. Yu Shiqi looked up and saw a hole in the ceiling above his head.
"You actually opened this gambling store?" Yu Shiqi's thoughts finally began to become active.
"Or else do you think I can get the information you guys want even if you try your best?"
"The gambling shop is just a cover, and those who provide you with information will also come as gamblers."
"certainly."
The man who fell to the ground had not yet died, and seemed to have just fainted, and at this moment he let out an intermittent moan.
Before he woke up, Yu Shiqi went up and slapped him in the back of his head with a sword, causing him to fall into a coma again.
"Who is this guy?"
"You might as well search?"
Yu Shiqi leaned over and leaned over the man to explore, and listened to the intelligence dealer continue to say: "The ones with hidden weapons are mostly assassins, the ones with fire-lacquered gold and silver tokens are the Dragon Blood God Sect, and the ones with military household cards are the remaining soldiers."
He said that he paused here, and after observing Yu Shiqi's expression, he smiled: "It seems that it is not, it should be Yunzhongjian."
Yu Shiqi just took out a seal talisman from the man's arms. Although it was not a special seal, it was also a real seal of the Yunzhong Sword. His mind suddenly became blank and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"It seems that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple." The intelligence dealer smiled gloatingly.
Yu Shiqi was still thinking about whether this person was sent by the Sect Master Kong Lan or directly sent by the Sect Master from the villa? What was his purpose when he came here to take the intelligence dealers away?
He regretted that he had just repaired the back of the man's head without asking questions. Now it seems that he can't wake up in a short time.
The intelligence dealer seemed to be planning to leave like this, so Yu Shiqi had to temporarily put the unconscious Yun Zhongjian aside and stood up and chased him: "Stop."
"What's wrong? I remember telling you that I won't sell you twice in a day."
"Now you can't help but be willing or not. Tell me everything about Nie Guijiang's assassin, the Dragon Blood God Sect, and the remaining soldiers!"
"Yo, are you going to die?" He shrugged, "I'll tell you all this. Does the imperial capital still have a place to stand?"
"I will take you to meet the sect leaders. You will tell me the information. The Desolate Sect will ensure you are safe and sound."
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it safe? Not to mention that you, the Desolate Sect, cannot protect yourself. Do you think that what I want in this world is just peace and nothing?"
Yu Shiqi frowned, not understanding what this guy wanted to do.
"As a desperate person, you must naturally enjoy it in time. The so-called joy of the world is nothing more than authority, reputation, and beauty of money." He stepped forward and stared at Yu Shiqi's eyes and said, "I can't have the first two, I have enough money now, and you can't give me the last one. It's almost the same for your companion to come before."
"So that's it, let her come to me again and change the information you want."
Yu Shiqi didn't expect that he would make such a explicit request, and he was extremely angry, but he couldn't attack this person.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like this? Are you angry? Is this request too much?" The man put on a scoundrel expression, "Why don't you think about how excessive it is to ask for information from the three families just now? And I just said a condition that is not anything in comparison. You Yun Zhongjian didn't always say that you would sacrifice for this and that..."
Yu Shiqi punched him in the face, knocked him to the ground, and then stepped on his chest.
"It's here, tell me everything you know." His sword hung above the man's head and threatened coldly.
"Hahaha..." The intelligence dealer raised his hand and pinched Yu Shiqi's sword without fear, "Do you really dare to kill me?"
"Do you bet I dare?"
"Then let's bet once." He replied quickly, "The reason why I opened this betting shop as a cover is not entirely a whim. I really like to bet with others. The result is not important, what is important is the stimulation during the game... Can you understand?"
Yu Shiqi gritted his teeth and pressed the sword against his throat.
"I will tell you now that I have already slept with your companion, just before you set out for the Dragon Pillar." He licked his lips with a wicked smile, "Although to be honest, she is not very good among the many women I have experienced, she is the woman from Yunzhongjian after all..."
He couldn't continue speaking because Yu Shiqi's sword pressed his throat hard.
But even so, the sword still couldn't go further.
After a long time, Yu Shiqi leaned back against the wall as if exhausted, with his knees bent and could hardly support his body.
The man rubbed his sore throat and sat up, looking at Yu Shiqi mockingly: "Look, I won the bet."
