The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 121 Curiosity killed the cat

Looking at the sword's edge against her throat, Gongsun Lan sighed, "You won!"

After speaking, she tactfully put down the two short swords in her hand.

The colorful ribbons lost the control of their true energy and hung down together, only posing a slight arc with the breeze.

"Sword dance is really a wonderful skill." Shen Youzhi retracted the sword and praised it sincerely.

From a technical point of view, Gongsun Lan's sword dance has no flaws, and it is impossible to break it with skills.

All Shen Youzhi could do was to deal with it.

If Gongsun Lan's state of mind had not been affected, she would never have lost so quickly and completely.

If one must decipher this kind of swordsmanship, one can only find another way and use strength to break through skill.

Just like what Lu Xiaofeng did in the original book.

Shen Youzhi didn't choose to do that because he didn't care about winning or losing this battle, he just wanted to experience the ultimate skill.

"It seems that you can only think about your doubts by yourself." Shen Youzhi said.

Although he doesn't care about winning or losing, there is no need to give the other party a portion of the gambling money.

This is the rule of gambling, the winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing.

"Maybe we can talk about something else?"

Although Gongsun Lan was defeated, she was not discouraged. Instead, she was very excited, as if she had discovered something interesting.

She is like a cat, cautious and curious about dangerous things, and can't help but want to try it out.

"For example?" Shen Youzhi asked softly.

"For example, what do you think of me?"

As Gongsun Lan said, she took three steps towards Shen Youzhi in front of her.

Shen You subconsciously took a few steps back, opened a safe distance, and then said: "I don't understand what you mean."

Gongsun Lan retreated after seeing Shen You, she seemed a little angry, and said softly: "What? Am I so scary? I'm so scared that you back away again and again."

"On the contrary, the more beautiful a thing is, the more dangerous it is." Shen Youzhi said truthfully, "Otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago."

Beautiful things always arouse people's desires, and to protect them, of course, one needs to have the ability to deal with those greedy people.

"That's true." Gongsun Lan was quite satisfied with this explanation.

But she still added: "But do you know that women's curiosity is unimaginable to men. If you can't answer their doubts, you have to face their endless pestering."

"Curiosity sometimes kills people." Shen Youzhi reminded.

This is an absolutely friendly reminder.

In the original book, Gongsun Lan died of her own curiosity.

Out of curiosity, she followed Ye Gucheng and discovered Ye Gucheng's secret. In the end, Ye Gucheng secretly attacked and murdered her, and strangled her to death with a belt.

"But doubts and incomprehensions will also torture people to the point where life is worse than death."

Gongsun Lan didn't seem to want to accept Shen Youzhi's reminder, and she had the attitude of not giving up until she got an explanation.

"You must know the answer?"

"must!"

"I have only one condition."

"What conditions?"

"After you get the answer, don't be curious, let alone follow me!" Shen Youzhi stated his condition.

Although Gongsun Lan is a magnificent beauty, she is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and troublesome woman.

If one day Shen Youzhi finished his work, he wouldn't mind sitting down and chatting with her, but now is obviously not the time.

"Huh!" Gongsun Lan snorted coquettishly, feeling dissatisfied: How many people want to see her face is impossible!

"Okay, I promise you." She finally compromised.

Although she was a little angry because the other party belittled her, she still looked at Shen Youzhi with admiration.

After all, she had thought that Shen Youzhi would raise conditions, and even thought about the content of the conditions, such as power, wealth, and beauty, all of which were possible, but she never thought that the other party's conditions would be so strange and pure?

"In this case, you can tell the answer you want to know." Shen Youzhi looked at Gongsun Lan quietly.

"I want to know how you saw through my disguise, how you knew my real identity, and how you knew my relationship with Shangguan Feiyan. Besides these, what else do you know?"

Gongsun Lan raised several questions in a row, each of which was closely related to her own interests.

"For the first three questions, the answer is intelligence; for the last question, the answer is many."

"Information? Who provided it?"

"A person, a person who has long passed away."

"What's that man's name?"

"Is the name of the deceased important? He is no longer in this world."

"Besides you, who else did he tell those news?"

"At least in this world, there is no one else but me."

"What you said is true?"

"No lie."

After Shen Youzhi answered all the questions, he asked, "Can I leave now?"

After seeing Gongsun Lan's sword dance, he should review and digest it well, and then he can look for the next target.

"Of course, you can leave at any time." Gongsun Lan replied: "There is nothing here to keep you."

The mechanism is not good, the swordsmanship is not good, and the beauty is also not good.

Shen Youzhi nodded slightly, stepped lightly on his feet, and flew away from the small courtyard.

night inn
Shen Youzhi was about to take a rest when suddenly there was a knock on the door——

dong dong!

"Come in." Shen Youzhi said lightly.

squeak-

The door was pushed open, and the person who came was actually a person who looked exactly like Shen Youzhi.

"This joke is not funny at all."

"Hehehe, is that so? I thought I could scare you!"

"Are you okay?"

"of course."

"what's up?"

"You have to know that women themselves cannot suppress their curiosity."

"so?"

"So the only way is to keep her by your side all the time."

"Are you going to regret it?"

"Hehe, don't you know that repenting is a woman's privilege?"

the next day, early morning

Shen Youzhi got up early because she had a good night's sleep last night.

"Where are you going?"

The person who spoke was Gongsun Lan, of course she didn't come out of Shen Youzhi's room, otherwise Shen Youzhi definitely couldn't sleep well last night.

It's just that she changed her face again at this moment, and turned into a look that Shen Youzhi had never seen before.

Although this look is far less stunning than her real face, it is obviously more suitable for walking on the rivers and lakes.

"I thought of an important thing to do." Shen Youzhi replied.

"What?" Gongsun Lan was a little curious.

"Go and rescue Lu Xiaofeng." Shen Youzhi replied.

This answer not only did not relieve Gongsun Lan, but made her even more confused: "How did you know that Lu Xiaofeng would be in danger?"

He clearly stayed with him all the time, why was he so sure that Lu Xiaofeng would be in danger?

"He has always been a person who works with danger." Shen Youzhi said.

This is of course not the real answer.

Of course, this answer did not satisfy Gongsun Lan, but she did not continue to ask.

Because she is learning to suppress her curiosity.

"Go find it now?"

"Yes, now."

Why did Shen Youzhi have to look for Lu Xiaofeng?
The real reason is that in the original book, it was Gongsun Lan who destroyed Huo Xiu's mechanism, so that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were not locked up in the dungeon by Huo Xiu.

If Shen Youzhi didn't go to find Lu Xiaofeng now, Gongsun Lan would naturally not go, then Lu Xiaofeng might really die in Huo Xiu's hands.

Although there is no rule in this world that people must help their friends, but if a friend's life is in danger, then Shen Youzhi will try his best to save him.
