Chapter 265: Forming a Team
At this time, it is not long to enter the watch, and there are nearly two shifts from the third watch, and it is easy to attract the attention of others from staying nearby for a long time, so you have to go around elsewhere first, and then come back late at night.
The last time Wu Di was rescued, there were many middle-level and low-level warriors on the Niu Clan's side who participated in the roundup of them, and it was not excluded that there were warriors in the city who knew him, so he had to avoid direct contact with the warriors as much as possible, but there was no need to be sneaky and hide, even if he was really discovered, it could be inferred that he was here to find Jiang Nan.
Lianshan City is very large, and there is more than one wine shop in the city, and the appearance of a fresh face in a wine store and inn will not arouse suspicion. He had already had dinner before, but he could eat a little more, so he went to another wine shop.
Since he came back from modern times, he has developed a habit of eating as much food as possible, because the next meal may not be when, and a hungry meal is the truest portrayal of the six months he has returned.
At this time, there is no nightlife, no entertainment and pastime, and it is very comfortable to have two drinks a day after a busy day, so there are not only foreign vendors, but also locals in the wine shop.
Wu Zhongyuan most wanted to hear the news about Jiang Nan, but his luck was not always so good, he wanted to know something, people happened to be talking about something, foreign traders talked about things related to easy exchange, as long as it was news, it would be useful to him, through the conversation of the traders, he found a problem, that is, although Lianshan City was open to foreign trade, it imposed heavy taxes on foreign traders, similar to market management fees, to put it bluntly, it was to collect protection fees, and the foreign traders complained about this.
The discussion of the crowd reminded him that after the opening of the Yicheng of Daze in the future, taxes must not be levied, and as long as someone goes over to exchange them, it can bring potential benefits to Daze.
A few diners at the other table drank too much and were talking nonsense, these people were from southern Xinjiang, and they may have landed in Goat Valley before, and they were talking about the changes that happened in Longze, the weak water, not long ago, but these people didn't know the details, and the bull's head was not the horse's mouth.
Men get together, the topic is easy to talk about women, and soon the prostitute embroidery girl became the focus of their conversation, and the immortal embroidery girl became a celebrity, and I don't know how to come out with another vulgar version, only saying that she was imprisoned and raped by the dragon god. In this regard, the diners at the same table had questions, only that the Goat Valley was more than a hundred miles away from the weak water Longze, how could the dragon god go to rape the embroidery girl.
The drunkard also had an explanation for his companion's question, only that the dragon whip could be infinitely extended, and it passed through from the ground.
How can there be more than a hundred long whips, such an illogical explanation, naturally no one believes him, so he will not be ridiculed.
The drunkard was in a hurry, and only said that this matter was seen with his own eyes by the know-it-all of Goat Valley, how could it be fake.
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and some people laughed, "Know-it-all has been blind for many years, how can you see it with your own eyes?"
When the lie was exposed, the drunkard became angry and angry, and he started to scold and swear.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people coaxed and persuaded him and carried him away.
There is a saying that if a person sees and hears dirty things, after a long time, his mood will naturally become filthy and dirty, only the lotus flower can do it without staining the mud, and people can't do this.
Originally, Wu Zhongyuan was still tired of listening to such foul language, but when he heard what the drunkard said at the end, his mood improved slightly, and the people who can be called know-it-all must be knowledgeable people, and he just needs such a person right now, listening to what they say, this know-it-all lives in Goat Valley, and he is also a blind person, so it must not be difficult to find.
Thinking of this section, a person suddenly appeared in his mind, when he and Wu Dalie passed through Goat Valley that day, they met an old blind man at the intersection of the town, out of sympathy, he also gave the old blind man some food, and the news about Luan Fengjian was also told to the two of them by the old blind man, could it be that the old blind man was a jack-of-all-trades in the mouth of a drunkard?
Originally, he was also going to steal the real high-yield grain from the fox clan, and when the time came, he could stop by to find this old blind man.
After grinding for half an hour, Wu Zhongyuan changed another wine shop, just like modern times, the wine shops at this time were also divided into high, medium and low grades, the wine shops that the people went to belonged to the low grade, the vendors went to the middle range, and the high-end ones, which were consumed by talents with status.
This time Wu Zhongyuan changed to such a family, in the low-end wine shop, he ate noodles and sauce hollyhock, sunflower is a more common vegetable at this time, not the same thing as sunflowers, and okra has nothing to do with okra, it is a green leafy plant. In the mid-range wine shop, he eats fried Chinese cabbage and fried Chinese rice, which is similar to cabbage, but not hearty, and the so-called Chinese rice is not rice, but beans, which is also one of the five grains.
The high-end liquor shop ordered honey lotus salt water and a pot of wine, at this time people have not yet learned to cheat and harm their compatriots, the food is genuine, the real honey lotus root slices, water chestnut boiled in salt water, at this time is already a very fine and luxurious food.
The water chestnut has to be peeled, and it takes time to peel it, and the reason why Wu Zhongyuan ordered it was precisely because it was cumbersome to eat, and it was reasonable to stay in the wine shop for a while.
The more high-end the restaurant, the fewer diners, except for him, there was only one table, two warriors and a few officers who had just changed the guard, warriors belonged to the nobility at this time, and important positions in the army were usually held by warriors, but there were also some low-ranking officers in the army who were not warriors but were very heroic.
The vigilance of these people was relatively high, and after Wu Zhongyuan sat down, they lowered their voices, and some of them also observed him from time to time with the corner of their eyes.
After eating two meals before, Wu Zhongyuan was already full, but this time it was a hard stopper, and he tilted his head to look at the door from time to time while eating, making a wait-like appearance.
A quarter of an hour later, the diners left first, and Wu Zhongyuan packed up the leftover water chestnut and left at the checkout.
Although these people did not say anything worthwhile, he still gained something, and as they left, one of the warriors joked and teased, only saying that the other warrior was newly married Yan'er, and his heart was like an arrow.
This seems to be nothing, but it reveals a very important clue, that is, not long ago, a warrior got married, which shows that Jiang Zheng's wife is not sick at all, Jiang is the big ginger of the Niu clan, his status is equivalent to the emperor, and his wife is equivalent to the queen.
Jiang Nan is a descendant, and through the fact that a warrior got married not long ago, it can be indirectly inferred that her mother is not seriously ill, and Jiang Nan was indeed deceived back by Jiang Zheng.
The reason why she was deceived by Jiang Zheng and not arrested is because Jiang Dahua said before that Jiang Nan returned alone, so there is no restriction on personal freedom.
Knowing that he had been deceived, what would Jiang Nan do? Knowing that he had been deceived, people's first reaction was to do the opposite and not let the other party be satisfied, so it was not very likely that Jiang Nan would stay in Lianshan.
What is uncertain now is when Jiang Nan left Lianshan, if he had already known that he had obtained the city when he left, he should have gone to his territory to find him.
If you don't know this link when you leave, you should go back to Goat Valley. You must know that there is no mobile phone at this time, the speed of news transmission is very slow, and there is no one else around when he bargains with the three clans that day, so as of now, places other than the three clans may not know about the three clans ceding the city.
During the day, he rushed to Daze from Jiumu, and then from Daze to Gushan, and then from Gushan to Lianshan, if Jiang Nan really went to look for him, he must have encountered it, and if he didn't meet it, it means that Jiang Nan is likely to go to Goat Valley.
But it is not ruled out that Jiang Nan is still in Lianshan, but this possibility is not large, if Jiang Nan is really in Lianshan, with his current cultivation, I am afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with her without alarming Jiang Zheng.
If Jiang Zheng is alarmed, Jiang Zheng probably won't let him take Jiang Nan away, you must know that Jiang Zheng is an old fox, knowing that he is now on the cusp of the storm, and he may be plotted by the enemy at any time, how can this old fox allow his daughter to stay with the enemy's target.
After pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision to save the second child and rush to Goat Valley, not to stay in Lianshan.
After making up his mind, he sensed Dasha and asked it to come and answer.
Even the walls on all sides of the mountain were guarded by soldiers, and for fear of being discovered by the soldiers, he instructed Dasha to climb as high as possible, and the higher he flew, the smaller the target, and the less likely it was to be discovered.
While waiting for Dasha to arrive, Wu Zhongyuan pulled out the dagger, sharpened three wooden spacers, and when Dasha began to land, he pulled out the arrows, inserted the spacers, and shot at the dog's head.
The arrows flew out, and the dog was stunned.
Don't underestimate this dog, stun it and save the second child, at best it's a joke, if the dog is killed, the nature will change, and it will be difficult to talk in the future.
Dasha landed very quickly, Wu Zhongyuan grasped the opportunity, shot the bow again, and the two arrows were shot at the two gnomes respectively, and the two dwarfs were already sleeping, defenseless, and fainted directly.
Dasha hoisted the second child, flapped his wings and climbed high, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the arrow, jumped up, and fell on Dasha's head, Dasha tried to fly high, and flew east with an iron cage from a high altitude.
When he arrived in the forest to the east, Wu Zhongyuan retrieved the burden, waved the lynx stick and smashed the lock, took the second child out of the cage, and then drove Dasha to fly south.
As soon as the cold wind blew, the second child quickly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in mid-air, and he exclaimed in fright.
Lest it fall in panic, Wu Zhongyuan grabbed it, "Don't scream." ”
"You, you, which one are you?" the second squinted and looked up.
"You don't know me anymore?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, the second child has aura cultivation, and should be able to see things at night, but now he can't see his face clearly, which shows that his aura cultivation has been restrained by the Niu clan in some way.
"It's a little familiar," the second child raised his hand and scratched his head, "Ah, it's you, big brother, is your wife okay?"
Listening to the second child say this, Wu Zhongyuan knew that it was the right number, this guy accidentally injured Wu Di's head when he rescued Wu Di last time, so he asked this question.
"It's fine. Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "You guy is not authentic, I passed on your magic skills, and you sneaked away?"
Knowing that Wu Di was fine, the second child put his mind at ease and muttered, "How can I slip away, that, that, big brother, it seems that something is wrong with you passing on my magic skills." ”
"I don't blame you for slipping away, are you embarrassed to ask the teacher for the crime?" Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to cover his nose, this guy may not have taken a bath for a long time, and the smell on his body is very unpleasant.
"Nothing, everything. The second child awkwardly diverted the topic, "Big brother, it's still you who are righteous, and you actually came back to save me." ”
Wu Zhongyuan let go of it, "Stay honest, don't fall." ”
"Big brother, where is my big brother?" the second child then remembered that he still had a companion.
"It's still in Lianshan, and I only rescued you yourself. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"What are you doing to save me?" the second child asked, it would not be so stupid as to think that Wu Zhongyuan had saved it out of righteousness.
"You mean I shouldn't have saved you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
"No, no, no," the second child waved his hand again and again, "You save me, I always have to try to repay it, if there is any sending, you can just command." ”
"There's nothing you need to do for the time being, you follow me in the future, and you can go where you can be useful. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Good, good. The second child agreed.
"You've already sneaked away once, if you dare to run again, see how I clean you up. Wu Zhongyuan threatened.
"Don't run, don't run......"
