Jiang Wang walked forward, reached the end of the street, turned right naturally, went forward, turned left, and then quickly went around an alley.
He was in Wenxi County, walking around on familiar roads, as if he had lived here for a long time and had no interactions with passers-by.
He turned into a courtyard and when he reappeared, he was already wearing a cloak and a black robe, and he had changed his attire.
Before he left, he deliberately made a noise.
Not long after, a fat man with open clothes and a flat belly ran out from the inside, holding a steel knife and looking menacing. When he looked into the courtyard, he immediately yelled: "My mother! Where are the robes I'm hanging here?"
A thin man next to him also squeezed out: "Hey! Who did this? My cloak hanging outside was also pulled down!"
"My mother!" The fat man looked around and cursed: "You even dare to steal things from me, Zheng Laosan!"
"Third brother, look!" The thin man's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed forward.
The fat man squinted his eyes.
There is a stone table in the courtyard, and the clothesline where the robes were originally hung is not far from the stone table. Now the robe is gone, but there is a shining silver ingot on the stone table. You can buy that robe and I don’t know how many sets of bamboo hats.
.
"Wow!" Zheng Laosan was furious, strode forward, and struck down with his knife: "How dare you insult me, little thief!"
His voice was indignant, and it was obvious that his dignity and personality had been greatly challenged.
The steel knife fell and split the silver ingot into two pieces.
The blade of the knife struck the stone table, sparking out a stream of sparks.
Zheng Laosan wiped his fat hand and took away most of the section, leaving only a small piece: "Si'er, this is the money I left for you to buy a cloak. I will take the money for my robe first.
Already."
There was something Li Laosi wanted to say, but he couldn't say it for a moment in front of the shining steel knife. He could only say bitterly: "Listen to brother."
There are three countries to the west of Yong State, from north to south, namely Chen State, Jiao State and Luo State.
Chen State is in the northwest, Luo State is in the southwest, and Jiao State is due west.
Shun'an Prefecture is the western prefecture of Yong State, and Wenxi County is in the west of Shun'an Prefecture, almost close to the border town, and it is not too far away from Jiao State.
The headquarters of Qingyunting is located in a border county, so it can be seen that it is not doing well. It is probably better than Lingkong Temple in Chengguo, but it is also limited.
This time when I came to Qingyunting to look for the lost building of Yunding Immortal Palace, the situation was different from the time when I came to Lingkong Palace.
In Lingkong Hall, Dou Mian had already cleared all the obstacles, including the resistance from the upper echelons of Chengguo. Lingkong Hall completely belonged to Dou Mian, and with Dou Mian's cooperation, he only needed to go over and take over.
In Qingyunting, he had to take into account the upper-level power of Yong State. There was no Doujia or Chu State behind him.
So even if Qingyunting's strength is not that great, he still has to keep a low profile.
The lost building of Yunding Immortal Palace, no matter whether the people in Qingyunting know its existence or not, it is impossible for Jiang Wang to take it away easily. Even a transaction is impossible. If he came to the door carelessly and laid out the conditions to negotiate a deal, the biggest loss would be
The possibility is that it was swallowed by Qingyunting and Yunding Immortal Palace.
When you are in a foreign country, with no clear path in front of you and no support behind you, you must be extremely cautious.
Jiang Wang's willingness to spend three days traveling through most of the neighborhoods in Wenxi County and getting to know the county attentively is a reflection of this prudence.
And this caution, at least at this moment, gave him the first advantage against Zhang Linchuan - "geographical convenience".
Advantages must be well utilized to achieve victory.
Jiang Wang, wearing a cloak and robe, strode forward and quickly arrived at the target location.
On the street where I just met Zhang Linchuan, there were not many destinations that might be chosen in the direction Zhang Linchuan was heading.
At that moment when he turned back to thank his aunt, out of the corner of his eye he saw Zhang Linchuan heading to the left.
There is a straight road over there, with a total of five forks on the way, three on the left and two on the right, leading to different places. The intersection where Jiang Wang arrived now is the first fork on the left.
Judging from Zhang Linchuan's previous walking speed, if nothing unexpected happened, he should have passed or turned into this branch within half a quarter of an hour.
Timing is important.
Calculating the time silently in his mind, Jiang Wang breathed steadily and walked out.
He doesn't plan to do anything now.
But the first meeting just now was too sudden, and in order to hide his hostility, he failed to take a closer look. He needed to see Zhang Linchuan again, observe his condition, feel his aura, and get more accurate information.
At the same time, he was also thinking about any way to leave a mark on Zhang Linchuan.
Maybe try infiltrating a soul-hiding snake?
He quickly rejected it. Tongtian Palace is a critical place, and the hidden snake of the soul will almost certainly be discovered, so it is better to alert the snake.
Or capture some of the breath for later retrieval?
This is certainly a way. Unfortunately, the level of memorial service is too low, and I am afraid it will be difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
In short, the first purpose is to determine Zhang Linchuan's current strength and status.
The second purpose is to try to leave the possibility of recourse.
The best result is that in addition to this, the goal of Zhang Linchuan's trip can be confirmed. In this way, a completely targeted plan can be made, just like how to deal with Haizongming. Know yourself and the enemy, and then you will be victorious in every battle.
It should be said that Jiang Wang's attitude is cautious and his actions are prudent.
Exit the intersection and turn right.
There were many pedestrians walking towards him, ranging in height, short, fat and thin, with various accents. Jiang Wang made himself calmer and more calm, and glanced at it casually...
No!
There is no figure that meets the goal.
Zhang Linchuan is missing!
Jiang Wang's heart stopped for a moment, and the Sauvignon Blanc almost jumped out of its sheath on the spot.
But his breathing was steady and his eyes were calm.
He still walked forward calmly, and his heart immediately resumed beating, beating as gently as possible.
A problem occurred.
This is a fork that must be passed, but Zhang Linchuan was not seen. He either suddenly changed his direction or his speed. No matter which reason it was, it seemed that he had discovered something!
Has it been discovered?
The more times like this, the more calm you should be.
Jiang Wang walked slowly, pressing his sword with his hand seemingly carelessly, his thoughts racing in his heart.
Assume that you are Zhang Linchuan, no matter what the reason for discovery, even if you really discover it... what can you find?
It was nothing more than being suddenly noticed by a passerby on the streets of Wenxi County, Yongguo.
The passerby wore a mask and was wrapped tightly, and his voice was unfamiliar.
Can he recognize it, is it Jiang Wang?
For the Bone Messenger, what he needs to pay attention to is Dong A, Wei Quji, the person who can interfere with the White Bone Dao plan. Even for the identity of Zhang Linchuan, Jiang Wang is just a newcomer to the inner sect. Disciple, a rising star in the Taoist Academy. There was a trial in Tangshe Town, it was just a trial...
In his impression, Jiang Wang must have collapsed along with Maple Forest City. He was no different from the hundreds of thousands of people who died. Could it be that the Jiang Wang at that time was more powerful than Wei Yan? Is he better than Zhao Lang, better than Shen Nanqi, better than them?
And did he show hostility and murderous intent? Jiang Wang took a serious look at himself.
He was sure that he showed no emotion at all.
So what choice would Zhang Linchuan make when faced with a stranger who just showed concern?
Rage to kill, stay away, find out what's going on?
The Bone Messenger is naturally indifferent to life and death. The choice of killing is not more difficult than killing a chicken. But the best opportunity has been missed.
If he wanted to kill someone, he should do it at the moment when Jiang Wang failed to observe Zhang Linchuan.
There has been no movement until now, indicating that Zhang Linchuan gave up the first choice.
For people like Zhang Linchuan, there is no need to avoid a strange follower. So he probably wants to find out. He wants to know who is following him, why he is following him, and whether he is hostile to him.
In a flash of thought, he quickly made a judgment—Zhang Linchuan might be peeping in secret!
Jiang Wang's steps hurriedly accelerated and he suddenly sped up.
But when I glanced over, the pedestrians were as usual, and no one in the field of vision showed any abnormality.
Where is Zhang Linchuan hiding?
Now the situation has been reversed, and the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear.
Jiang Wang had to admit that Zhang Linchuan was more difficult to deal with than he thought. He came to observe Zhang Linchuan after covering up several times, but now it seems that he was still not cautious enough.
He didn't know where he had exposed himself, but it had come to this and he could only deal with it.
Deal with it well.
At this time, there was a green-skinned man walking towards me in a nonchalant manner.
Qingpi was going to turn right, but somehow his mind changed and he turned to the left.
I happened to bump into a man dressed as a scholar.
It seems that going around the left is a bad choice.
"You're blind!" Qingpi angrily grabbed the thin scholar.
The scholar said angrily: "I gave way this way, but you also gave way this way. How can you blame me?"
"How dare you quibble!" Qingpi raised his fist and was about to hit him.
One hand caught his fist.
"It's just such a small thing, why is it so important?" Jiang Wang easily separated the two entangled people and advised them in a gentle voice: "When you are away from home, peace is the most important thing."
During this period of "preventing the fight", he carefully observed the people on this street, but the result was no different. No figure suspected of Zhang Linchuan was found yet.
Am I unfounded? He thought.
Zhang Linchuan might have just received some news suddenly, and he might have turned around and left.
It's best so...
The green-skinned fist was caught easily, and he knew in his heart that it was powerful, so he didn't even say a harsh word. Jiang Wang persuaded him and he hurried away.
"Thank you for your help, brother." The thin scholar cupped his hands and thanked him.
"You're welcome." Jiang Wang patted his shoulder and continued walking: "I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
This moment.
The crowds of people on the street suddenly stopped.
One by one, the figures disappeared one by one.
After the crowd faded away, only a back figure was left directly in front.
He has a straight back, hanging hair, and a cold temperament, as if he is outside the world.
He was the only one left on the long street, and the only thing he could see was his back.
He turned around.
