Jiang Wang sat on the horizontal branch where he once sat cross-legged and practiced.
Opening his Qianyang red eyes, he looked around carefully, trying to find any possible clues... Of course, he found nothing in the end.
He flew down, recalled the direction Lin Youxie left at that time, and walked out along the path that he still had a vague impression of.
Every time he took a step forward, he would look around carefully. It was like facing a life-and-death battle, not missing any clues.
Just like this, step by step, stepping on dead bamboo and fallen leaves, I walked out of this dense forest and walked to the nearest city, but still gained nothing.
Jiang Wang had expected this, so he remained calm on the way back.
After all, more than three months had passed. Even if there were any traces, they should have been silently erased by nature. Besides, he was not as good as those green professionals from the inspection office.
Even if you put more effort into it, how can you expect that the withered flowers and yellow leaves have faded away, leaving only the mountain breeze and the bright moon?
There is no trace, where can I find it?
He decided to explore another aspect and face the black wall.
I left the Wu'anhou Mansion in the morning, and when I came back, the moon was already high in the sky.
A whole day can be said to be a waste.
However, only he himself knew the mood that was forged in this futility.
In the Hou Mansion, he met an unexpected person - Bao Zhongqing, the prince of Shuofang Bo.
This time, he didn't bring his beloved wife with him, and he didn't have that annoying ostentation. The luxurious car was parked outside the house, and he was sitting alone in the living room. According to the disciple, he started waiting in the afternoon.
Jiang Wang was really not in the mood to be conceited today, so he frowned when he saw him: "Brother Bao, what is this?"
"Brother Jiang, you've been working hard all day!" The affection on Bao Zhongqing's face was natural, and he stepped forward and said: "I heard that Brother Jiang's friend has disappeared, and Brother Jiang is worried about it... I'm not talking about you, this is Why don't you ask me for help with this kind of thing? I, Bao, travel all over the world by carriage and horse, and I am the best at finding someone to collect some information and so on!"
Jiang Wang really hadn't thought that he could rely on the power of Bao's Chariot and Horse Shop.
First of all, he has no relationship with the Bao family at all, let alone any friendship with Bao Zhongqing.
Secondly... he had long been on the unwelcome list of Bao's Carriage and Horse Racing Company. It had been a long time since he had ridden in Bao's Carriage. How could he remember this?
He did not ask Bao Zhongqing how he knew the news, but said seriously: "If you can help me find clues, I will remember this favor."
This was what Bao Zhongqing was waiting for, but he said: "It's too outrageous to say that human feelings are unkind! We are old acquaintances, we have been on the battlefield together, and we studied at Jixia Academy in the same group. Since we are comrades in arms, We are classmates again, what is our relationship?"
He patted his chest vigorously: "This matter is all on me!"
Jiang Wang pursed his lips: "Then I'll trouble Brother Bao."
"What's the trouble? It's just the duty of a friend! Just like your friend has disappeared and you are anxious to find her." Bao Zhongqing said and left: "I know brother you are worried about your friend, so I won't bother you. And Wait for my news!"
After waiting all afternoon, we finally met, but they left in a hurry after a few words.
Regardless of the person's original intention, at least this superficial sincerity is sufficient.
Jiang Wang personally walked Bao Zhongqing to the door and was silent for a long time before returning to the study alone.
Today, he is no longer the young man who gave his trust easily. Moreover, he has always been wary of Bao Zhongqing.
Did he already have some information about Lin Youxie and was he just doing this as a favor? Or did Mr. Bao have some thoughts about the current queen and wanted to move forward after smelling the smell? Anyway, he, Jiang Wang, a reckless man, was holding her back.
?
Jiang Wang didn't know the answer.
But in order to find Lin Youxie's whereabouts as soon as possible, he was willing to be used by Bao Zhongqing once.
…
The study room of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was initially designed to be very simple. Later, after Chong Xuan Sheng's adjustments, it became a bit more majestic and luxurious.
The desk engraved with mountains and rivers has a comfortable luster. Behind the desk is a bookshelf that fills an entire wall.
The various books piled inside are all famous books that the noble prince of Linzi often reads.
Of course, Chong Xuan Sheng helped to prepare it, which cost a lot of money.
But no matter whether it is famous articles on military affairs or classics on Taoism and Confucianism, they can only be regarded as decorations here.
Because Jiang Wang has never opened a book, it looked the same as it did when he bought it, and it still looks the same now.
It's not that Marquis Wu An doesn't like to read... It's true that he hasn't finished memorizing "History's Swordsman Cuts the Sea" yet, and he's too busy to do it.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of a bookshelf with a very cultural taste, half leaning on the chair, quietly sorting out the clues related to Lin Youxie, thinking about what other methods he had and where to start.
I have two knives in my hand.
Please ask Master Yu to help with the divination?
Or should we invite Ruan Zhenjun?
Gua Dao emphasizes on compensation and calculation, and if it involves the safety of his friends, he will be willing to pay the price.
If Lin Youxie's disappearance is really related to the current queen, then it would be more appropriate to ask Master Yu to help with the divination.
wrong.
It would be more appropriate to ask Ruan Zhenjun.
If Ruan Zhenjun agrees, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone.
If Ruan Zhenjun simply refuses, wouldn't it be a kind of verification in itself?
While Jiang Wang was thinking, he subconsciously moved his fingers. There was a wisp of green smoke floating freely on his fingertips.
He has always had the habit of practicing Taoism casually.
This secret technique of remembrance was also improved by Yu Beidou.
The green smoke and grass are lush, hanging on the fingertips, swaying lonely.
Then Xiaocao lowered his head, as if thinking about it.
"Um?"
Jiang Wang came to his senses and found that the memorial grass was turning slowly, as if it had found its target.
I couldn't help but hold my breath and stare at the direction of this green smoke grass.
But I saw it turn around a few times, then suddenly stop and point... backward.
Jiang Wang suddenly stood up and turned around, looking at the bookshelf, but the direction of the memorial grass was also moving. Only then did he realize that the memorial grass pointed to himself.
The memorial technique re-evolved by Yu Beidou is to imprint the recognition of the tracking target on the level of one's own soul, thus forming a induction at the level of the soul.
It has a certain timeliness. If you want to use this technique to pursue the target more than three months later, even if you are familiar with it, it is impossible to do it.
When Jiang Wang was just thinking about ways to find Lin Youxie, he kept thinking of bits and pieces about her, and subconsciously condensed the memorial grass. He never thought about what he could find with this technique.
But now the memorial grass actually refers back!
What is there in his body that resonates with the Lin Youxie he knows at the soul level?
Jiang Wang sat down and took out all three storage boxes he had brought with him. The boxes the size of fingernails were spread out on the desk and quickly expanded, like three thick books with wood grain covers.
Pulling off the box cover, you can see the neat and small squares between them, as well as the various objects in the squares that have been reduced many times.
The most abundant items are treasures, including Yuan Stones, Ten Thousand Yuan Stones, Dao Yuan Stones... and a few Living Soul Stones. They are not only the currency of the extraordinary world, but they can also be used as a supplement for combat consumption at any time.
In addition, there are also some gold, silver, knife coins, and ring coins.
Then there are the various kinds of food I encountered when traveling around the world...
His eyes wandered carefully, and finally stopped on a thin book——
This is the nameless book that Lin Youxie once gave him.
It is the life-long effort of the famous catcher Lin Kuang on the autopsy, and the complete copy was completed by Uriel, who pursued the feudal uncle after his death.
At that time, Lin Youxie was determined to die. With all substantive evidence wiped out, he tried to use his death as a certificate to overturn the case of Concubine Lei and Lin Kuang from many years ago.
Therefore, this strange book recording clues on how to capture corpses was given to Jiang Wang.
As an heirloom of the Qingpai family, the value of this book cannot be measured in terms of money.
Or it can be said that if it spreads, it is destined to become another classic of Legalist criminal names!
Jiang Wang picked up this thin book in a daze, thinking that the feeling coming from the grass was directed at this book.
It is impossible to capture Lin Youxie's traces based on this...
To be continued...
