Chapter 121: When people's hearts are scattered, it's not easy to lead the team!
Xu Haoliang stood on the ferry pier in Xiangyang Town. Holding a few strands of silk thread in his hand, these silk threads were found by Xu Haoliang in the thorns within a hundred meters from the dock, although they were only silk threads on some ordinary clothes, but Xu Haoliang had already determined in his heart that these silk threads were scraped from Xu Ziyan and the ten of them.
What are ordinary people doing in the grass without having anything to do? And judging from the various signs in the grass, there is more than one person, so there is only Xu Ziyan who is on the run. Xu Haoliang carefully took the silk threads from the thorns one by one, and erased the traces of the scene one by one. Then they came to the ferry, standing on the pier, analyzing Xu Ziyan's actions.
"It seems that Qi'er and Sky Wolf are from here and they are going down the river in a boat and heading straight for the Endless Forest. And it seems that a boat was robbed, otherwise they would not have had to resort to the cover of the grass. Hehe, these little guys really dare to do it, I don't know if these plans are Qi'er, Lin'er, and who came up with the wolf? ”
Thinking of this, Xu Ziyan's figure appeared in his mind, Xu Haoliang smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself:
"I'm afraid they don't have that ability, it should be Xu Ziyan who came up with it"
Thinking of this, Xu Haoliang's heart was uncomfortable for a while, and he thought angrily in his heart: "This Xu Ziyan is too rebellious, right?" It's just that the combat power is powerful, and the scheming is so powerful, how did the eleventh brother give birth to such a pervert? ”
He shook his head, his face gloomy. Looking in the direction of the west along the river, he sighed lightly: "Xu Ziyan, if you can bring the Heavenly Wolf, no, those disciples in the family back to the family safely, I Xu Haoliang and your festival will be wiped out, and I will definitely treat you like a relative." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, and he scolded softly: "Yang Long, you madman"
He glanced down at his ribs, and in the early hours of the morning he was collecting the threads and destroying the traces of the grass, the wound in his ribs had accidentally cracked open again, oozing blood. That was the damage he received during the fierce battle with Yang Long. Xu Haoliang saw that there were more people on the dock at this time. Frowning slightly, he walked slowly to a wooded area next to the ferry, untied his robe, then opened the bandage, reapplied some medicine, and tied the bandage tightly.
Lowering his head and thinking about it, inspired by the silk threads just now, Xu Haoliang turned around and walked towards Xiangyang Town. After a while, Xu Haoliang returned to the dock, and at this time, Xu Haoliang had already changed his clothes, pretended to be a businessman, and boarded a ship that went downstream.
*
It has been seven days since he went down the river, and Xu Ziyan stood at the bow of the boat looking at the scenes on both sides, sighing at the vastness of the vast continent. There was a pleasant laugh on the deck behind him and in the cabin. Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, and sighed lightly in his heart. His face was a little gloomy.
There were footsteps behind him, the footsteps stopped, Xu Lin stood beside Xu Ziyan, looked at Xu Ziyan with a sideways face, and said softly:
"Sister Ziyan, let's catch that Wang Laoshi in the warehouse, right?
Xu Ziyan was stunned unexpectedly, a relieved smile bloomed on his face, there was finally a person who grew up and saw the problem, looking at Xu Lin, Xu Ziyan smiled happily and said:
"Oh, for what?"
"I think that Wang is not honest at all, he is stupid at all, but he has a delicate heart, coupled with that mouth that can speak, it has only been a few days, and he and our people are like friends. I always think that Wang Laoshi is unreliable, and now everyone has lost their vigilance against him, this is very dangerous, Ziyan, you order Wang Laoshi to be arrested."
Xu Ziyan shook his head lightly and did not speak. Holding on to the side of the boat, looking at the rolling river.
"Sister Ziyan, these disciples of our Xu family are all people who have never seen the world, and they have been living in the middle capital city since they were children, it would be a lie to say that we do not yearn for the outside world, but it is precisely because of our yearning and ignorance of the outside world, and that Wang honestly said it too wonderfully, so it quickly attracted us. Now the eldest brother and the wolf not only regard Wang Laoshi as a friend, I think they all worship him a little. Xu Lin smiled wryly, and also put his hands on the side of the boat, and looked at the river with melancholy eyes.
"Hehe...... Xu Ziyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "A group of immortal cultivators go to worship an ordinary businessman? If this is known by the uncle and the ninth uncle, I don't know what the expression of the road will be? Hehe......" Thinking of Xu Haoran, especially Xu Haoliang's possible expression, Xu Ziyan couldn't help laughing again.
"Sister Ziyan, you can still laugh, have you forgotten that we are on the run now?" Xu Lin was a little anxious, frowning slightly, and for the first time in his heart, he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Ziyan:
"These people in our Xu family have no experience at all, and we have said some things that shouldn't be said in the past few days, I think that Wang Laoshi has probably guessed who we are? I once secretly told my eldest brother that he said I was too careful. said that at this time in the middle of the river, even if Wang honestly knew our identity, what could he do as an ordinary businessman? So, Sister Ziyan, I can only come to you, you are the captain, you are responsible for the whole team"
Seeing that Xu Ziyan was still indifferent, Xu Lin was really anxious this time, took a step closer to Xu Ziyan, and said in a low voice:
"I asked Senior Brother Tianhai, and he said that the Western Hanging Formation was close to the Endless Forest. Although it was dangerous, there were still many merchants who went there to sell their goods, after all, if the things from the Endless Forest could be sold back to the Northlands, there would be a good return. And there are also some immortal cultivators who go there to either train, or hunt demon beasts, in short, if we go to Xitui Town, that Wang honestly wants to betray us, it is easy to send the letter to Lu. ”
"Didn't you say the Endless Forest was inaccessible? Xu Ziyan asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, but it's in the Endless Forest, there are still people outside the forest, and according to Senior Brother Tianhai, there's a market there. Only after entering the endless forest did it begin to be inaccessible, and the further you went, the more uninhabited it became. ”
Xu Ziyan sighed lightly after hearing this, looked at the river, with a faint sadness in his eyes, and said softly:
"Senior Brother Lin, little sister is glad that you were able to think of so much, but do you think it will be useful for me to arrest that Wang honestly and even kill him?
"How could it not be useful? You're the captain, how can what you say be useless? ”
"They won't listen, and if you explain it to them, they'll think you're too timid and cautious. If you ignore their opposition and insist on arresting Wang Laoshi, who has become their friend, they will definitely have resistance to us in their hearts, and in this way, the hearts of the people in this team will be scattered, and the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead."
"That'...... You can't ignore it, huh? Anyway, you're our captain too."
"How do you know that I didn't care?" Xu Ziyan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Qi, except for the fact that they didn't tell the matter of the breath amulet, the rest almost all said. ”
"You ......" Xu Lin looked at Xu Ziyan in surprise, and suddenly said in shock: "You...... Spying on them with mental power? ”
Xu Ziyan nodded helplessly. Xu Lin's gaze changed, he was stunned for a while, and asked in a quiet and cautious voice:
"Sister Purple Smoke. When you used your spiritual power to investigate, even I didn't find out, right...... Could it be that your true cultivation has surpassed mine? What exactly are you cultivating? ”
Xu Ziyan raised his hand and swept his long hair that was messy by the river wind, and said helplessly: "It's just slightly taller than Senior Brother Lin." ”
"What the hell is that......" Xu Lin suddenly closed his mouth, since Xu Ziyan refused to reveal his cultivation, he also realized that it was not good for him to get to the bottom of it, but in addition to being shocked, he was also happy. After all, it is fortunate that there is a person in his team who has a higher cultivation than himself, and he is on the run.
"So what should we do now?" Xu Lin changed the subject.
"We'll have to warn you, and we'll have to negotiate how the merchants and sailors on this ship will deal with it."
"What do you mean......" Xu Lin's gaze was surprised for a moment, and he instantly understood what Xu Ziyan meant, his gaze quickly became firm, and he nodded vigorously and said:
"Sister Ziyan, what do you say?
"Go and call them all to my room for a meeting."
"Okay" Xu Lin answered, turned around and left, Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Lin's departing back, sighed lightly, and walked towards his room.
Xu Ziyan had just returned to his room, and before he could sit down for a while, except for Xu Peng and Xu Lan, who were left outside to continue to monitor those sailors, the rest of the people walked into Xu Ziyan's room. Xu Lin walked in the last one and closed the door with his hand.
Xu Ziyan looked at the people who walked in one by one, with obvious ease and smiles on their faces. Xu Ziyan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, fleeing with a group of rookies is really a laborious thing. Raising his hand and gently rubbing his eyebrows, Xu Ziyan couldn't help but have a headache.
"Sister Ziyan, what did you call us for here?" Xu Qi sat down easily, with a freehand smile on his face, as if he was not fleeing, but traveling.
Xu Ziyan noticed that although the male disciples such as Xu Qi and Xu Tianwolf were still wearing ordinary clothes, they were very neat and tidy, and they were meticulously organized. Graceful. And Xu Mei and Xu Meiruo are even more exaggerated, and they obviously have makeup on their faces, which is not at all the dusty face of fleeing all the way before getting on the boat. Xu Ziyan's heart was really speechless at this time, judging from these appearances, these people in front of him had obviously completely lost their vigilance
