Not to mention anything else, just hearing the news shocked He Huaichun, who was already mentally prepared, not to mention Lin Yuanhuan, who had never seen a first-class master like Jiang Ergou in his life.
.
She obviously has a small cherry mouth, but now it looks like she can swallow an apple in one bite. As for He Huaichun? After being surprised, he let out a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
In the past, no matter how powerful Jiang Ergou said, he had never really seen a real person, but today he found out from Baixiao Pavilion that Yang Dongqing was indeed a master of the third level of the first rank. If Jiang Ergou could not
With his bad face, he lied to him, so naturally this Baixiao Pavilion would not destroy its own golden name just for five hundred taels.
"Then tell me quickly where he is now!"
Before Jiang Ergou could ask, He Huaichun asked first.
"He has not shown his whereabouts recently, so we can't find out, but according to his aura detected by our Baixiao Pavilion's artifact, you can try your luck in the capital, where you are most likely to find him.
Of course, part of it may be that he went all the way to Southern Tang."
Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun looked at each other and seemed to say that as long as we find his whereabouts, we at least know where to pursue him.
After regaining his excitement, Jiang Ergou suddenly reacted and grasped the key point of what the little Taoist said just now.
"You said that the last time Yang Dongqing appeared, he was fighting a swordsman. What was the outcome between them?"
The little Taoist replied with a smile.
"Although this news is not a hidden message in the eyes of those martial arts masters, it still costs twenty taels of silver. But since you have already bought the bulk, I will give you this news."
After turning back a few pages of the book in his hand, the little Taoist priest slowly spoke.
"Yang Dongqing fought with the swordsman for three days and three nights. At the beginning, the swordsman could almost overpower Yang Dongqing. However, the situation changed after only one day. Yang Dongqing seemed to be using the swordsman's hands to sharpen his martial arts realm.
It was as if a master who had been in seclusion for several years urgently needed an opponent of the same level to deepen his understanding and confirm his moves. On the last day, Yang Dongqing had the tendency to counterattack the swordsman, but the swordsman was not a vegetarian either.
Especially when I received the grace of the sword from the peerless swordsman Wang Xuanlang, I have made great progress in the past two years, so the battle between the two ended in a draw."
He Huaichun said angrily when he heard that someone could tie with the master he had not yet met.
"What kind of background is this swordsman? He can actually fight on par with my cheap master."
"This news is a hundred..."
"Stop it, stop it!"
Before the little Taoist priest could tell the price, Jiang Ergou interrupted him. According to He Huaichun's condition, if he was asked to tell the price, Jiang Ergou would have to agree before he could stop He Huaichun.
"This swordsman is from the Southern Tang Dynasty. His real name is Huang Bingcheng. This man is extremely talented. Unfortunately, he has always been conceited. Relying on his talent, he wants to be that unparalleled figure with perfect swordsmanship. He says he wants to combine the art of swordsmanship with the swordsmanship.
The way of swordsmanship has reached its goal. Now, Wang Jianqing, the best swordsman in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the best master in the world, is suppressing him in the way of swordsmanship. It is impossible for him to dominate in the way of swordsmanship, but if he can defeat Yang Dongqing in the way of swordsmanship, there is really no one in the world.
I can overwhelm him with the word "knife."
The little Taoist priest nodded. The news told by the man in front of him was different from what he recorded here, but it was almost the same.
"This young hero really knows a lot, but now it seems that Huang Bingcheng has really surpassed Yang Dongqing. According to the latest twelve earthly branch list issued by Tianwu Tower, although these two people have already surpassed the original
Wuchan and Shangui, who were ranked third, pushed the two of them from tied for third to tied for fifth. In the end, the swordsman was ranked third, while Yang Dongqing was ranked fourth.
"
Jiang Ergou shook his head and expressed disapproval.
"The list of the twelve earthly branches is updated every year, and now it's almost time for Tianwu Tower to update the list. This means that the current ranking on the list is from a year ago. Now, Tong Huan and Ange's
Swordsman Huang Chengcheng and Broken Sword Yang Dongqing are both on the same starting line. Whoever breaks through to the fourth realm first among them will be second. As for Wang Jianqing, who stands in the first place like a chasm in the sky, no matter how many descendants there are
Excellent, but within thirty years he will be able to hold the number one spot."
These differences, Jiang Ergou said, the little Taoist priest recorded them with a pen. Have they really taken their business to the extreme? After recording the news, they will find a way to confirm it. As long as the news
If there is no problem, then you can sell it.
"Do you guys have any more information you want to inquire about? We at Baixiao Pavilion have always been honest in doing business. The information this young hero said is worth two hundred taels. You can choose to ask for information or you can choose to pay for it from the previous fee.
It’s worth two hundred taels.”
After the little Taoist priest finished recording, he looked up and said to Jiang Ergou and the others. They looked at each other and said nothing, as if they had no news to ask.
"If you have no questions to ask, you only need to pay three hundred taels and you can leave."
Hearing the payment, He Huaichun reluctantly took out a wad of banknotes from his arms. Although his father gave him a lot of money this time, he couldn't afford such consumption.
After taking out three banknotes, He Huaichun reluctantly handed them over to the little Taoist priest, then turned around and ran out.
"Go quickly! Go quickly! I won't be able to leave you anymore."
Jiang Ergou and the others followed him out of the room with smiles. Even Lin Xuanqing, who had always been serious about his words, showed a rare smile.
But just before Jiang Ergou took a step out of the house, he took his foot back again.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuanhuan turned around and asked aloud after seeing his little move.
"It's nothing. You guys go down and wait for me. I have some news I want to ask."
"Ah...oh!"
Lin Yuanhuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know if Jiang Ergou wanted to avoid them to ask for any news, but she felt a little unhappy when she thought that Jiang Ergou had avoided even her.
"Hurry up."
In comparison, Lin Xuanqing didn't have so many ideas. Instead, he was urging Jiang Ergou to ask him faster.
After both women went downstairs, Jiang Ergou walked back to the house and closed the door. Looking at Jiang Ergou who had gone and returned, the little Taoist priest was a little happy, as if he felt that he had found a way to earn back the two hundred taels.
method.
"Young hero, do you have any other news you want to ask?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ergou squeezed out a few words from his throat.
"I would like to ask about the destruction of the Jiang family, a second-rate family in Longyou County, Lingzhou more than 20 years ago!"
"What happened more than twenty years ago?"
The little Taoist priest frowned, looking very cute, but at this moment Jiang Ergou was no longer in the mood to watch.
"Although our Baixiao Pavilion has been trying to find out the news from a long time ago and keep records, it is unclear whether we can find it or not. What do you think, young hero? Let me go look for it in the database. Maybe it's possible.
There may be news."
"OK!"
After obtaining Jiang Ergou's consent, the little Taoist priest stood up and walked towards the row of bookshelves. When he twitched a certain book in the bookshelf, the bookshelf and the little Taoist priest were moved to the back of the bookshelf.
It turns out that there is a secret in this small wing! Moreover, moving it together with the bookshelf prevents the information from being seen by others. Of course, there are other means to prevent theft in those books, but if you can be careful, be careful.
One thing is always true.
The little Taoist priest had been there for a long time. It took a full stick of incense before he was moved out from behind the bookshelf again, while Jiang Ergou waited in the room without saying a word the whole time.
"Young hero, you are very lucky. What you mentioned about the Jiang family's extermination in Longyou County, Lingzhou was only recorded by our people three months ago. Now the price of this information is not expensive, only fifty taels of silver.
"
"tell me the story."
This time, the little Taoist priest did not hold a book in his hand, but he told the complete story of what happened at the Jiang family that year. Judging from his familiar look, I am afraid that he has read it several times just now.
All.
"It is said that more than twenty years ago, a rare genius came out of the Jiang family. This genius was named Jiang Ziyan. After he broke through to the second level, he brought the Jiang family from a third-rate family to a second-rate family. Originally, the Jiang family had arrived
When he was getting rich, with Jiang Ziyan's leadership, no matter how hard he accumulated for decades or hundreds of years, it would not be impossible for him to make steady progress like those old second-rate aristocratic families and look for opportunities to break into the first-rate aristocratic families. Even Jiang Ziyan back then was not completely unable to break through.
A chance at the first level, you have to remember that Jiang Ziyan was only in her twenties when she broke through to the second level!"
Having said this, the little Taoist sighed.
"It's just a pity! I don't know who spread the news that the Jiang family has a unique secret book. They also said that Jiang Ziyan was able to improve so quickly because of that secret book. For a while, except for those high-ranking first-class sects and aristocratic families,
In addition, everyone is keeping a close eye on the Jiang family’s secret books, especially those sects and forces that are stuck between second-rate and first-rate, and they all want to use the Jiang family’s secret books to break through to the first rank.”
The little Taoist priest paused for a moment and then continued.
"Although everyone in the world has peeked at the Jiang family's secret book, no one has actually taken action to snatch it. In other words, they are all waiting for someone to take the lead and prepare to see the situation before taking action. But what no one expected is that,
The first person to show up actually succeeded directly!"
Seeing that the young hero in front of him had clenched his fist, the little Taoist priest's originally uncertain thoughts were confirmed.
"One night more than twenty years ago, the number one killer organization in Dachu, the Ange, sent out all the killers in the Lingzhou branch to pounce on the Jiang family. I heard that the leader of the team at that time was the Lingzhou Ange.
The person in charge - Gui Xiao! With Ange taking action, naturally no one in the Jiang family escaped. They were all killed by the people in Ange. I only heard that a child was thrown off the cliff before Jiang Ziyan died and his whereabouts are unknown.
, but I think I won’t survive.”
Noticing the change in the expression of the man in front of him, the little Taoist priest had a complete idea of who the man in front of him was. After all, generally speaking, no one spends money to find out what happened more than twenty years ago.
"Did the secret cabinet do this, or was there someone else instigating it behind the scenes?"
Hearing the question from the person in front of him, the little Taoist priest hurriedly answered.
"It is said that there are people behind it, but as for who the owner of the Ange is, only they themselves know. Even I, Baixiaoge, don't know this."
"Where is the base of Lingzhou Ange?"
After getting the answer, Jiang Ergou asked again, but the boy and the little Taoist priest were a little embarrassed.
"This...Young hero, you don't know something. Our branches in various places cannot sell and there is no information about the specific locations of first-class sects and aristocratic families. However, young hero can go to the headquarters of our Baixiao Pavilion in the capital to inquire. Our Baixiao Pavilion
Several of our bosses are there, and their backgrounds are strong enough that no one dares to offend them.”
In this regard, Jiang Ergou did not make things difficult for this little Taoist priest. No matter he was from a sect family or a secret book master, as long as he was tainted with the word "first class", Baixiao Pavilion would be careful before he was careful. After all, no matter how many masters they had, they would still take care of him.
But come to the 108 Baixiao Tower!
"Okay, I will inquire about this matter after I go to the capital."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ergou took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms and put it on the table.
"No need to look for it. Except for the money to buy the information, you have to keep my identity secret for me. I know you have guessed who I am."
The little Taoist priest took the banknote from the table and said slowly.
"Yes, but we at Baixiao Pavilion will only keep your identity information for one year. After one year, if someone comes to Baixiao Pavilion to inquire about you, we will not hide it."
Jiang Ergou nodded and walked out of the room. Looking at his back, the little Taoist priest murmured.
"I really didn't expect that the disciple of the peerless swordsman Wang Xuanlang was actually the orphan of the Jiang family! It turns out that the word 'jiang' in his name is the word 'jiang'. Now it seems that the world is going to be lively again."
While talking, the little Taoist priest took a book and wrote it casually.
"Jiang Fuyu, the apprentice of the peerless swordsman Wang Xuanlang, appeared in Luochuan City, Lingzhou. He is the orphan of the Jiang family twenty years ago!"
…
After coming out of Baixiao Tower, He Huaichun and the others had been waiting for him for a long time. As for Zheng Longhui, maybe the town office had official business to do, so he had already gone back. As for waiting for Jiang Ergou
What? Neither He Huaichun nor Lin Xuanqing said anything, but Lin Yuanhuan got into a temper.
"What news are you asking for? You've been asking for so long. Is there something you're hiding from us?"
Jiang Ergou reached out and rubbed her head.
"How is that possible? I just haven't been around in the world for many years. I don't know a lot of information, so I just want to know more about the situation. So what am I hiding from you?"
"real?"
"real!"
Jiang Ergou hid it very well. Neither He Huaichun nor Lin Yuanhuan noticed the clues. Only Lin Xuanqing felt that Jiang Ergou was a little different from before, but she didn't say anything more. After all, she was not like that.
After looking at Jiang Ergou, he turned around and left.
And when no one was paying attention, Jiang Ergou glanced at the direction of the capital, and then murmured.
