Chapter 600: Battle on the Plains (5)
Jiang Ling hid in the alley, turned around and erased the traces he left with his mental power, and then carefully walked to a side road, paying attention to the wind and grass around him, while thinking about what he should do next.
At this time, there were not a few pedestrians on the street, and I wanted to know that the family was going to use this city as a base to start a decisive battle with the Divine Court, and the residents of this city must be hiding and fleeing, and only a very small number of people were left who were not afraid of death, or it was really inconvenient to move away.
It is not easy for Jiang Ling to inquire about some information, after all, those ordinary people who have not cultivated will not know the next plans of the families, and some powerful figures are basically the henchmen of several major families.
The next strategy is naturally to catch a lone person who is lower than himself, and he is a family disciple who is lower than himself, coercing and luring, and asking for some information.
But such an approach is risky and confusing. Second, if you really run into a cunning and daring person, you may not be able to ask a few words of truth.
Zhongce relied on the fact that he had the guest order of the four major families, and he could completely take the guest order to blend into the family and find some polite words. But this is not a small risk, and it is too easy to expose your identity.
"The best policy..."Jiang Ling pondered for a while, and muttered: "It's best to find someone who has a good relationship and can be trusted and talk directly, but are there any of these scheming guys in the family who are trustworthy?" Well... If Wei Yeqiu was there, it would be about the same. ”
Jiang Ling thought for a while, although he had the guest order of the four great families, but in fact, he didn't have much friendship with the four great families, and he had more contact, and he was relatively familiar with people, in fact, only Qi Zhixia and Wei Yeqiu, he helped Wei Yeqiu twice at a critical moment, and Wei Yeqiu was also more righteous, so he should be trustworthy.
Qi Zhixia's girl is not bad, but this woman has too many eyes, and Jiang Ling can't be completely relieved.
As for the Park family and the Jin family, Jiang Ling has not been in contact with any big names, so there is no friendship at all.
"It's just that this time Wei Yeqiu doesn't know if he is in the city, why don't you go to the Wei family to inquire first? The question is, where are the Wei family's people? Jiang Ling muttered to himself and looked around, but he could only rely on luck to continue to move forward. It didn't take long for Jiang Ling to see a person walking out of the street on the side.
The man also saw Jiang Ling, and his face was a little vigilant, but Jiang Ling turned his face away, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he first split his head and covered his face and asked, "This friend, which doorman are you?" What do I think you're a bit of a face-to-face? ”
Jiang Ling had already sensed that this person was a martial artist in the Heavenly Change Realm, and he was not a big threat to himself, so he played him first and took a look.
The man was a young man, with a face of twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a more ordinary pale blue dress, and wearing a long sword at his waist. He was stunned by the question, but he felt that Jiang Ling was very angry, and he replied politely: "I am a guest of the Wei family." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ling frowned slightly, expressing distrust, but in his heart, he was secretly happy that he had suddenly met someone from the Wei family.
The man smiled slightly, took out the Wei family's guest order and shook it in front of Jiang Ling's eyes, and then said: "This time, our major families have gathered a large number of guests from all over the world, I came from Yuerong, and it is normal for my brother to see me face to face." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ling also took out the order of the Pu family's doorman and said, "Offended brother, please don't be surprised." ”
When the man saw that the other party was also a doorman, his attitude was a lot more casual, and he smiled and hugged his fists and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Jiang Ling also bowed to the other party, and then asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The man hesitated slightly, but continued to say: "The third master asked me to go to Qi's house to get some things, and I was about to go back to restore my life." ”
The third master? Isn't it Wei Yeqiu's third uncle? There are quite a lot of relatives in the family, and Jiang Ling can't tell which third master it is, but in order to prevent the other party from being suspicious, he didn't ask more, just said: "In this case, don't delay your brother's time, go back to find the third master to recover his life." ”
"Okay." The man answered, and then seemed to be wary, and asked, "What is the little brother doing?" Can I help? ”
Jiang Ling replied calmly: "I'll check to see if there are any suspicious people in the city." ”
"Hard work." The man didn't care much, and smiled and said: "Looking at the little brother's introverted qi, his cultivation must be above me, so powerful at such a young age, could it be the Pu family's relatives?" ”
Hearing that the other party was intentionally accosting, Jiang Ling was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Where is the Pu family's clan, it's just an ordinary guest." Junior brother, I have cultivated some mindful qi methods, but I have nothing to show for it, and when it comes to cultivation, I may not be able to compare to you. The fact that the third master can appoint you to help with things shows that my brother is highly valued, and he must be very talented. ”
Sycophants are applicable at any time, the man's eyes showed a little joy, and he said: "Where is it, it's just running errands, and it's not a big deal." ”
"My brother is humble, and I think my brother will be a person who will make great achievements in the future." Jiang Ling raised his hand and signaled: "In this way, if my brother is not surprised, I will accompany my brother for a while, ask you something, and don't delay your task." ”
The man nodded, walked westward, and at the same time he smiled bitterly and said to Jiang Ling: "Whether you can make great achievements in the future depends on whether you can survive this battle." ”
Jiang Ling also sighed and said, "Yes, this battle must be earth-shattering, and you and I are like a doorman, but we have to ask for more blessings." ”
"But isn't it, this battle must be a bloody battle, there are more than a dozen Xuanji masters, and our lives in the changing realm these days are not worth anything at all." The man's face was a little sad, quite resonant, and then he glanced at Jiang Ling and said, "I haven't asked my brother's name yet." ”
"My name is Jiang Dabai." Jiang Ling said casually, and then made up: "I am a native of Qingyuan County of Xia Fang Kingdom. ”
The man replied, "Fortunately, my name is Xue Ji." ”
Jiang Ling saw that Xue Ji was quite talkative, so he was ready to start talking: "If we can win this battle, it will be difficult for the Divine Court to suppress us." Then Jiang Ling pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, Brother Xue, I don't know yet, who is in command of your Wei family this time?" ”
"I don't think my brother doesn't know, he doesn't believe it, right?" Xue Ji smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Don't say that you outsiders don't believe it, even I feel a little surprised, obviously the third master is here, and the head of the family actually let the young son take full command of the overall situation." ”
Young son Wei Yeqiu? Jiang Ling's heart was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but on the surface, he still had to pretend that he had heard about it a long time ago and thought about it a little at this time, and said, "Oh? It turned out to be a young man. ”
Xue Jinu said: "Isn't it, our third master is depressed, but the head of the family has given an order, and no one dares to say anything." ”
Jiang Ling persuaded: "I heard that the young son of the Wei family is also a person with a smart mind and a shrewd mind, and it is not bad to be commanded by him. ”
"The young boy has a flexible brain, but he is still too young, the same age as me, and not a few years older than you." Xue Ji said with emotion: "Although the young prince can endure a lot and can bring down the eldest son, but after all, it is too late to make a move, and the foundation in the family is not deep. The head of the family also sent the third master to help the young son, but the head of the family forgot that the third master was originally the most beloved of the eldest son, where can he look down on him. ”
When Jiang Ling heard this, he knew that even if Wei Yeqiu risked his life twice, gambled to win, and successfully dragged his eldest brother from the position of heir, there were still so many obstacles on his way to inheriting the head of the family.
It seems that this third master will never have a low status and authority in the Wei family, and the original eldest prince's henchmen were assigned by the head of the Wei family to Wei Yeqiu as his deputy, which seems to be ill-considered, or it may be that there is no one available for the time being except for the third master. But with Jiang Ling's understanding of the head of the Wei family, this gambler probably did this on purpose, in order to see if Wei Yeqiu could convince everyone in such a crisis and suppress a clan relative like the third master.
Jiang Ling asked tentatively: "It seems that Brother Xue still hopes that the third master will lead the Wei family's team." ”
Xue Ji lowered his voice and said: "Of course, I am the third master's disciple, the third master is over fifty years old this year, and he manages the seven counties of the Black Rong Country on weekdays, and he has a strong wrist and great prestige. Moreover, cultivation is the lower realm of Xuanji, with him in charge, where is the turn of the young man to speak. ”
Jiang Ling kept this information in his heart, but it was not that Xue Ji was open-mouthed, thinking that the third master of the Wei family was also a big man on the famous side, this information was not confidential, so he said it so casually. Jiang Ling had already noticed that several patrolling figures had appeared in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xue, don't say this yet, be careful to let people listen." ”
"Yes, I'm going to the family residence soon." Xue Ji stopped talking and smiled at Jiang Ling: "I had a good conversation with my little brother, and I seemed to have said a few more words." ”
Jiang Ling understood and said, "Brother Xue is a cheerful person, and I also admire him very much. Rest assured, no one else will listen to this. ”
Xue Ji patted Jiang Ling on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I remember you as a friend, when this battle is over, there will be a chance for us to drink together." Thinking about it, with Jiang Xiaodi's ability, as long as he can survive this battle, he will definitely be deeply appreciated in the Park family in the future. ”
When it came to the business mutual blowing link, Jiang Ling would not be stingy, and nodded and said: "Brother Xue must also take care, I will ask for the wine money at that time, I just hope that Brother Xue will soar in the Wei family in the future, and don't forget the younger brother." ”
"That's a must, that's a must." Xue Ji arched his hand and was about to say goodbye to Jiang Ling.
At this time, a soft shout came: "Xue Ji, what are you doing?!" ”
Xue Ji's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this, his eyes were bitter, and it seemed that he had heard whose voice it was.
He turned around, looked at the man who came and bowed his head and said, "Brother Hai, I got the things that the third master wanted from the Qi family, and I was about to go back to restore my life." ”
"I know that the third master asked you to pick up things, but if you don't hurry up and go back to your life, who are you chatting with?" The man stepped closer and glanced at Jiang Ling coldly.
The man was a burly man, with thick eyebrows and a pair of eyes that shone fiercely.
Jiang Ling quickly probed with his telekinesis and determined that this was a martial artist from the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm, and there was the Wei family's Keqing token hanging around his waist.
Xue Ji explained: "Brother Hai, this little brother Jiang is a guest of the Pu family, we met on the road and walked together for a while. ”
"Park's doorman?" The man known as Brother Hai still glanced at Jiang Ling with an unkind face, and snorted coldly: "The doorman of the Park family, what are you doing when you come to my Wei family?" ”
"I chatted with Brother Xue for a few words, and I just walked with him for a while, if you are offended, please ask Haihan." Jiang Ling clasped his fists and saluted without humility or arrogance.
"Hmph, go back and do your business, an ordinary doorman, do things in a proper manner, don't be unhappy!" Brother Hai said, his eyes also glanced at Xue Ji, obviously scolding the two together.
Xue Ji sighed silently and turned his head to look at Jiang Ling: "Little brother Jiang, let's say goodbye." ”
"I'm causing trouble to Brother Xue." Jiang Ling clasped his fists and saluted, turned to leave.
Brother Hai glanced at Jiang Ling's back, then turned to Xue Ji and said sharply: "You guy, the third master gave you an errand errand, can't you understand?" ”
Xue Ji said: "I'll go find the third master." ”
Brother Hai said, "No need, just hand over the things to me." ”
"This..."Xue Ji was suddenly a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to speak: "Don't bother Brother Hai, I'll go by myself..."
"I said you just give me something, didn't you hear?" Brother Hai glared and shouted.
Xue Ji grasped the fist in his hand, but let go in an instant, took out a box from the package, and handed it to Brother Hai.
Brother Hai put away the box and glanced at Xue Ji with contempt: "With your ability, if you still want to stammer with the third master, it is better to stammer Lao Tzu and me." ”
Xue Ji was silent, and as Brother Hai turned to leave, he sighed faintly.
Although it was just an errand task, it was also a rare opportunity to talk to the third master, but I didn't expect this little credit to be robbed.
Jiang Ling's eyes were cold when he hadn't gone far, although he hadn't seen this bullying and deceiving him, but seeing that the big war was imminent, there were still people who were fighting for merit and making it difficult for their own people, which still made Jiang Ling feel sick after all.
"Several great families, is it really this virtue?"
