Chapter 471: The Dark Shadow of Jianye City (4)

Today, the 2,000 city guards in Jianye City were mobilized, divided into four groups and rotated, frequently patrolling all corners of the city, and when they saw suspicious people, they had to be strictly interrogated.

Jiang Ling's chanting technique has been small, so naturally he will not be detected by these ordinary soldiers, and before the patrol approaches, he will bypass the route early. Seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Ling could already see through the gaps between the houses and see the bright yellow buildings in the distance, which was naturally the imperial palace.

At this time, Jiang Ling found that the soldiers who were originally in a team of four people had become a team of twelve, and the intensity of inspections had increased significantly, becoming more careful and frequent.

"Because the prisoner has not been found for too long, the leader above is angry?" Jiang Ling didn't know that it was the turmoil deliberately caused by Pratt's hot brain, so he could only speculate like this, and he said to himself: "And some masters of the strength of the Earth Transformation Realm have begun to appear in the team, and the road ahead is probably not so easy, so you have to be careful." ”

I don't know if the increase in the intensity of the patrol and the strength of the city guards is due to the proximity to the palace or the passage of time, in short, if you want to avoid the patrol and get close to the palace, you need to be careful for 12 points. It's not that if you are caught by the city guards, you will definitely die, but in individual battles, it is definitely better to have more than less.

A team of city guards is not enough to worry about, but if it leads to stronger entanglements, it will definitely drag down the progress of their plot exploration.

At present, I have come to a neighborhood with more and more luxurious buildings, and many of them are shops, but there are fewer outdoor stalls, and they seem to be some high-grade large shops, and ordinary people can't afford them.

Jiang Ling thought about it, seeing that this place was close to the imperial city, and the residents should be either rich or expensive, so he could always find out some useful information here.

After taking a look, I saw a shop called "Yunjian Danqing", which seemed to be a calligraphy and painting shop, the store was not small, and the decoration style was also quite standard, but Jiang Ling observed for a moment and found that this store had a sense of no one caring and being crowded.

It was a good thing that there were fewer people, Jiang Ling stepped in, pretended to look up and looked up at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. Of course, Jiang Ling is an ordinary person with a limited appreciation of calligraphy and painting, one of the main and basic reasons is that his salary level restricts him, and he is not allowed to pay attention to these simple things that can be sold for 18,000 things. So far, he can only treat calligraphy and painting in a way that is pleasing to the eye, awkward looking, and awkward.

This room is quite spacious, and the walls on the left are all calligraphy, with large halls, transcribed poems, and auspicious characters such as "Fortune and Treasure". How to say this handwriting, it looks like a book, the pen is powerful, it can be described as vigorous, anyway, Jiang Ling, a layman, looks very pleasing to the eye, and even can experience a majestic feeling from the words.

Jiang Ling wanted to take a casual look and then go to the boss to talk, who knew that he was really attracted by these words on the back of the paper, especially one of the four words "East has passed", just four words, but it gave people a sense of tragedy and helplessness, just one glance, Jiang Ling felt as if he was going to grow old, and even remembered that he was not much incurable disease at that time, and his heart was sad, unwilling, but powerless.

Jiang Ling looked at himself and looked at himself, but the boss sat aside without saying a word, just looked at Jiang Ling's back and showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, and after a while, he seemed to recognize Jiang Ling, so he nodded with relief.

Two or three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the boss still spoke: "Someone is going to patrol here soon, do you want to watch for a while?" ”

"Oh?" Jiang Ling, who was staring at the stunned "East corner has passed", couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head and adjusted back from his trance. He took a breath and looked at the boss, who was not too young, with some frost-white sideburns and beard, he was of medium height, sitting at the table.

"I wanted to ask you about something..."Jiang Ling just spoke.

The boss stretched out his hand and pointed back, and said in a calm voice: "Go to the back to hide first." ”

Jiang Ling turned his head to listen quietly, only then did he hear the sound of footsteps approaching, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, his chanting was already at the level of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, but he was a moment later than this boss before he noticed that someone was approaching, which showed that this old-timer's chanting level was higher than his own. Jiang Ling didn't have too many doubts about the boss's words, and hid in the back hall of the store.

The back hall is like a warehouse-like place, with a bed, some pen, ink, paper and inkstones piled up on the wall, and a few books on a small cabinet.

Jiang Ling closed the door of the back hall directly, anyway, he had the energy to listen to the words over there through the wall.

Jiang Ling casually glanced at the room a few times, and did not rummage through other people's things impolitely, after all, with his life experience, most people who have the habit of putting things in an extremely neat way are very disgusted with others tampering with his things.

The next moment, the footsteps in the hall sounded, and five people could be heard walking in, and Jiang Ling immediately sensed that one of them was at least a Nian Master in the Heavenly Change Realm, so he instantly contracted his mental power to probe, and then covered up the aura on his body.

Although he is already in the Heavenly Transformation Realm, after all, the level of telekinesis has not kept up, so he still has to be careful to avoid being discovered. With the aura of the mind to shield his own breath, coupled with the cold silk coat with the isolation function on his body, even if he is a Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm Nian Master, he generally can't find Jiang Ling.

He leaned over the door, listening to the movement.

"Yo, Boss Yu is idle, look at this business, it's really light." A young voice rang out, and the mockery in his tone was easily discerning.

Boss Yu responded flatly: "Thanks to your Hongfu, you will be idle." ”

"You can't blame me for that." The young man ignored the irony in his words, and said with a smile: "Maybe there is no one in this Jianye City who can appreciate your calligraphy and paintings, maybe you can sell them in another place and have a good harvest." ”

Boss Yu was still unfazed and said: "I have lived in Jianye City for more than 20 years, and I am too old to move the place." ”

The young man said: "What is there to be reluctant to, you have no children and no daughters, as for your family business, you can take away what you can take, and I can sell what you can't take away." You also know that my Lin Changqing's family background, this capital is still there. ”

After listening to these words, Jiang Ling had already guessed that this son of the Lin family must have taken a fancy to the business or location of this shop, and wanted to coerce and lure Boss Yu away, so he came to take over this shop. Combined with the boss's sentence "Entrusting you with Hongfu", it can be guessed that Lin Changqing must have used some despicable means to deliberately suppress the boss's business.

Boss Yu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, my shop won't be open for long, you just have to wait." ”

"Wait? I've been waiting for a while. Lin Changqing made an inch-inch-to-gesture to Boss Yu, and said dissatisfiedly: "At present, Jianye City is a bit chaotic, I heard that some wicked people are wandering around the city, and even the big people in the Divine Court have not caught them, you say that it must be such a poor and vicious guy." If, I mean, your store suffers, that's a pity. ”

The words had escalated from mockery to threat, Boss Yu just sighed lightly and said, "The people of the Divine Court are in Jianye City, and the prince is so unreasonable, he is not afraid of making the Divine Court angry?" ”

"Why am I being unreasonable? I've told you everything I should say and shouldn't say, right? Lin Changqing didn't have a lot of patience, and when he heard that Boss Yu's divine court came to press him, he sneered: "This shop can still be kept by me, in your hands, there won't be a guest, who do you say is occupying the pit and not shiting?" I'm talking to you about business, and the Divine Court will take care of trivial matters? Are you dreaming? ”

It is not the same as the boss to speak, Lin Changqing continued: "This store has been open for more than ten years, although it is also a golden signboard, but have you forgotten where this is?" The year before last, my father asked you to join my Lin family firm, but you didn't agree, and you didn't agree to buy your shop last year, why, really take root yourself? This is Jianye City, whose business can be done, whose business can't be done, that's what our major families have the final say, you still dare to bargain with me, it's really stubborn and brainless! ”

"So I should give up the store that I have worked hard for decades?"

"So what? Who told you to be just a loner, and you want to stand firm without a backer. Lin Changqing simply shouted: "I'll make it clear to you, and finally give you three days, if you don't leave, I have a way to make you disappear!" ”

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, Jiang Ling guessed that it was Lin Changqing who threw the boss's inkstone to the wall.

"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink, old thing." Lin Changqing took his subordinates and turned to leave.

After a while, Jiang Ling walked out of the back hall and saw that the inkstone had been broken in two and fell to the wall, and the ink was splashed on the ground and on the wall, and several pairs of calligraphy were splashed and stained.

Jiang Ling looked at the calligraphy that he had just stopped to watch and was trampled like this in a blink of an eye, and he was annoyed in his heart, and he wanted to chase him out to take revenge.

"Don't go."

"They're no match for me."

"I know they're no match for you, but aren't you afraid to attract the attention of the Divine Court?"

Jiang Ling paused for a moment, then turned around again, and he heard that the boss obviously meant something else.

"Your name is Jiang Ling?" Boss Yu took away the ink-stained white paper on the case and laid out a new blank paper.

Jiang Ling's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but be a little vigilant, and wondered: "Who are you?" ”

It stands to reason that he has never been to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and there is no reason why anyone will recognize him, unless he is a person in the Divine Court, he can obtain information such as his appearance characteristics and strength through internal intelligence transmission.

However, no matter how you look at it, this old-timer doesn't look like a person in the divine court.

"Everyone in the court knows you." Boss Yu had no anger or loss on his face, but his expression was normal, holding a pen full of ink in his hand, and he said while putting down the pen: "We naturally have to know you." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling didn't react for a while, and only after a moment did he ask tentatively, "Are you... Send the gods? ”

"That's right." Boss Yu held the sleeve robe of his right hand with his left hand, wrote with a pen, and the pen walked through the back of the paper. He wrote down four words in one breath, and then said, "I guessed that there would be Skywalker intervening today, if it was another Skywalker, I don't want to believe it, but since it's you, there's no problem." You can walk into this store, and it is also a providential arrangement, and you really need your help here. ”

"How can I trust you?" Jiang Ling asked, also curious to see what Boss Yu had written, but saw him pick up the paper.

"I will make it clear to you what will happen in Jianye City today and who will enter the game." Boss Yu blew and said, "Then, I'm sure you'll know what to do." ”
