The sixth episode surfaced
It's still tonight.
It's still Zhao Zheng.
The difference is where Zhao Zheng is located.
After a long night's journey, he had arrived at a special place where Xiao Wutong was specially engaged in trading with buyers, which was located in the wilderness, and there was no doorway on the surface, except for a Wutong temple as a mark.
This small Wutong temple is a trading place, and it is also a place to deliver news, if anyone wants to buy someone from the small Wutong, they have to write the requirements on a piece of paper and put it in the Wutong temple. Xiao Wutong will regularly come to inspect the temple, and if he finds a note left by the buyer, he will prepare the woman according to the requirements and set a date for the transaction.
In the dark night, the paint-plated statue of Wutong God had a cold light in its eyes, like a living thing, which made people's hearts palpitate.
How many dirty transactions have there been in front of this small temple?
Just tonight, there were seven women who were sold, and they didn't know where they were, and the women who were sold out before, I don't know how many there were, but I am afraid that even Xiao Wutong himself can't count them.
These women were sold to the brothel boss, or they fell into the hands of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, the former could still leave a breath, and the latter would even lose his life.
It's a pity that Zhao Zhengqi missed a move, was one step late, and couldn't come here before the transaction. Now that both sides of the transaction have left, I don't know where they have gone, and there is no trace of space.
Princess Zhaoli is not among the seven women? Is the buyer Ye Zhiqiu's apprentice? Where were the seven women taken? Where did Xiao Wutong run again?
These problems are still an unknown number for Zhao Zheng now. If you want to get answers, you have to do your own research. Fortunately, this is not a difficult thing for him.
There are many wheel prints and footprints on the ground, some of which are new and some are old, and as long as you have good eyesight, you can still tell them. And this place is inaccessible, not on the official road, except for the small five links to do human trafficking transactions, there will be no special run here.
It didn't take long for Zhao Zheng to find two rows of special wheel prints. One of the rows runs from north to south. The other row runs from south to north.
Bailong County is located in the north of this place, and in view of this point, the wheel prints from north to south should be left by Xiao Wutong's driving. The wheel print was deep, which meant that the carriage was heavy - carrying eight large living people. Of course, the carriage will be heavy!
Another wheel print from south to north. It should be the buyer who stays. The wheel print is also deep, indicating that the buyer has carried the seven women away.
These two groups can be traced by following the wheel prints, and now the question in front of Zhao is which wheel mark should be tracked. Tracking the wheel prints from north to south should be able to track the small five links, and tracking the wheel prints from south to north should be able to track the buyer.
After a little thought, Zhao Zheng finally made the decision to track down the buyer first, if it was still too late, he might be able to intercept the carriage and rescue the seven women, saving people like fighting fire, or this is more urgent. As for tracking the matter of the small five links, you can put it aside for the time being.
"That's it." Zhao Zheng made up his mind, his eyes lit up, he pursued the very new wheel mark on the ground, performed the best light skills, and galloped forward all the way.
With his current cultivation, if he galloped with all his might, his speed would be quite fast, even far exceeding that of Maxima. But now he had to follow the wheel prints on the ground, and he couldn't move at full speed, which caused his speed to be greatly reduced, and he was much slower.
The wheel print extends from the barren mountains to an official road, which is also expected, after all, the official road is smooth, and buyers will definitely choose to move forward on this road.
The wheel prints on the official road were relatively messy, making it much more difficult to track, and Zhao Zheng could only stare at the specific wheel prints without blinking, for fear of missing something.
After tracking for two quarters of an hour, he finally gained something, and there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves and squeaks in front of him, which shocked Zhao Zheng's spirit and accelerated his speed suddenly.
With this acceleration, the trace of a carriage gradually appeared in front of Zhao Zheng's eyes, and gradually became larger. Two lights hung in front of the carriage, illuminating the road ahead, and it galloped slowly. He tried his best to suppress the sound of his body, so as not to alarm the coachman, and quietly approached the carriage.
From inside the carriage, the sound of several people breathing could be faintly heard, and because of the noise of the wheels turning, it was impossible to hear how many people there were, but at least there were more than five people, most likely the seven women who were sold.
Zhao Zheng's breathing became rapid, and he flew all the way to the top of the carriage, and landed on it silently, and the soles of his feet were secretly sticky and firmly fixed on it. He poked his head out and looked at the driver in front of the car, and from the back, it was a young man, and nothing else could be seen.
In line with the principle of striking first, Zhao Zheng made a move in advance, jumped on top of the coachman's head, reached out his hand, shook it casually, and performed the acupuncture points in his sleeves, and the acupuncture points on the back of the coachman were stopped. The hand went extremely smoothly and unhindered.
The coachman immediately fainted, fell forward on his stomach, and the reins in his hand were loosened.
Zhao Zheng fell down before the carriage could get out of control, grabbed the reins, stabilized the horses that were still running in front of him, and grabbed the unconscious coachman as well. The sneak attack was too smooth, but it made him feel a little uneasy. He looked intently into the coachman's face and saw that it was a strange man, with no impression in his mind. As soon as he saw that this was a strange man, the uneasiness in his heart immediately magnified a lot.
"Phew!"
Zhao Zheng stopped the horses, grabbed the reins in his hand, turned around and opened the curtains, and looked into the carriage.
In the carriage, there were several people crowded inside, among them there were old and young, the old ones were about sixty years old, they were old men, and the young ones were about five years old, and they were still children, and it seemed that a large family was hurrying and crowded into the same carriage.
"Oops, this isn't the carriage that bought those women." Zhao Zheng was disappointed, lowered the curtains, clicked on the acupoints on the coachman's body, jumped away from the carriage with one foot, and blended into the night.
The coachman woke up slowly, for some reason, and after dozing off and rubbing his eyes. Push the horses and keep on the road.
Zhao Zheng returned to the previous road, found the buyer's wheel print, continued to track along the road, and quickly adjusted his mentality, not discouraged by the defeat just now.
An hour passed, and Zhao Zheng still failed to catch up with the buyer's carriage, but had other gains.
The wheel print extends to a town that, like Bailong County, is also a large county seat, called "Nanmen County". Although there are many messy wheel prints in front of the city gates. But it was still difficult to catch Zhao Zheng's eyes. He was 100% sure that the buyer's carriage must have driven into here.
Zhao Zheng stopped in front of the gate of Nanmen County, frowning and looking at the closed gate in front of him, the city gate always has to be closed at night. But the wheel print is gone here. This means: After the carriage drove here. The coachman used his martial arts to hold up the carriage and jumped into the city!
The wall was a foot high, and it was enough to carry horses and chariots into the city. It can be seen that the coachman's martial arts are not low.
What makes Zhao Zheng even more concerned is that this county town is the nest of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice!
Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice have a very large mansion in the county, the two of them live here on the surface, but in fact it is just a disguise, the underground palace built under the house is the real residence of the two, the area inside is quite large, the sound insulation effect is excellent, and it is specially used to imprison those women who are used for the cultivation of evil functions of the master and apprentice.
The buyer's carriage disappeared here, and this is the lair of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, so it can be seen that the buyer this time is Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, otherwise, it would not be so coincidental.
If this is the case, Zhao Zheng's tracking can only end here, with his strength, it is more than enough to deal with Kong Yunjie, and it is difficult to deal with Ye Zhiqiu, the difference in strength between the two is very large, he is not the opponent of Ye Zhiqiu, the old devil, at all.
People like Ye Zhiqiu can only be left to people of Wang Wei's realm to deal with.
"I have tracked it down to this point, and with the help of Wang Wei's group of brocade guards, Ye Zhiqiu, you good-looking guy won't be able to laugh for long." Zhao Zheng muttered secretly in his heart, and a chill appeared in his eyes.
In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, Zhao Zheng jumped into the city, and according to the width of the wheel print in his memory, he found the buyer's wheel print again, and traced it all the way along the mark. The end of the wheel print stretched all the way to Ye Zhiqiu's mansion on the surface, completely dispelling Zhao Zheng's last concerns.
The truth has surfaced, and the buyer must be Ye Zhiqiu's apprentice!
Regardless of whether there is Princess Zhaoli among the seven women who were bought and sold, this matter must be investigated, even if the seven women are just ordinary people, they must be rescued from the fire and saved from the poisonous hands of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice.
Zhao Zheng made up his mind, left Nanmen County, and returned all the way back to the place where the Wutong Temple was located, tracking along the trajectory of another wheel print.
To crack down on Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, you have to find Wang Wei to take action, and if you want to achieve this, you have to come up with enough evidence. It is not enough to rely on the old mute alone, it is best to catch the small five links together. Moreover, once Xiao Wutong is caught, he can ask if Princess Zhaoli is not included among the seven women, because the seven women were all captured by Xiao Wutong, and he must know best.
Caught Xiao Wutong, asked for a confession, and joined Wang Wei to deal with Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, this has become Zhao Zheng's plan now, and it needs to be implemented step by step.
It's a simple plan, but it's not so simple to implement.
Small five links. Tian Yu has an eightfold heavenly cultivation, and he is on an equal footing with Zhao Zheng in terms of strength, so he can't be taken lightly. Fortunately, all the martial arts that Zhao Zheng learned were top-grade or even top-grade martial arts, and his own internal strength was extremely strong, so he didn't have to be afraid of Xiao Wutong and dared to fight with him.
Compared with the strength of Xiao Wutong, Zhao Zheng is more worried about whether he can find Xiao Wutong, he spent a lot of time tracking the buyer's wheel prints before, and with this time, Xiao Wutong is enough to rush to another town or even further away. If Xiao Wutong sneaks into the city and hides it, it will be difficult to find it again.
Zhao Zheng prayed secretly in his heart, followed the wheel prints left by Xiao Wutong, and walked a long way. It didn't take long for the wheel mark to extend to the official road, and when it reached a fork, it turned westward and did not return the way it came. It seems that Xiao Wutong does not plan to return to Bailong County, but to leave for another location.
More than an hour passed, and the eastern sky faintly reddened, heralding the arrival of a new day.
The wheel prints are still extended, and Zhao Zheng is still tracking.
Although he flew a long way, the internal force in his dantian was still abundant and did not decrease too much. It shows his solid and profound internal strength.
The tracking finally paid off, and the back of a horse-drawn carriage appeared on the road ahead.
Zhao Zheng's heart hung again, and he flew over at an accelerated speed, quickly approaching the carriage in front of him.
"Huh?" The coachman seemed to hear the sound of Zhao Zheng breaking the air, and sighed softly.
This voice clearly penetrated into Zhao Zheng's ears, causing him to be vigilant, this coachman has such good hearing, he is obviously a practitioner. Now that his identity has been exposed, there is no need to hide his head and tail anymore, he sped up. Turned into a white light. He simply rushed to the five feet in front of the carriage, and was halfway down the road like an iron tower, and looked at the driver who was driving.
"Phew!" The coachman hurriedly drank and grabbed the reins in his hand. The carriage stopped.
Zhao Zheng immediately saw the coachman's face clearly. It was discovered that it was the little five links he was looking for. Tian Yu. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed, revealing an extremely excited gaze.
Tian Yu was wearing a mask when he traded last night. But it was taken off a long time ago. If you are traveling in broad daylight, if you wear a mask, you are asking for trouble. He looked at Zhao Zheng for a while, found that he didn't know each other, and asked vigilantly, "This friend, why did you stop my carriage?" ”
"That's why I stopped you to catch you." Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Catch me?" Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, his face changed slightly, and he raised his voice and said, "You and I don't know each other, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, why do you want to arrest me?" ”
"It's simple, because I'm the rising sun. Zhao Zheng, and you are a small five links. Tian Yu. We are two identities opposite, of course I want to arrest you. ”
Hearing this, Tian Yu's face became even more cloudy, his nickname of "Little Five Links" is only known to a few people, and it is not a public nickname, the other party can call this nickname, obviously knows his details. And the name of Zhao Zheng also made him quite jealous, it is rumored that Zhao Zheng is the owner of the Zichu Sword, and not long ago he came forward to resolve the grievances between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect, which can be said to be in the limelight.
If it is replaced by a small thief, I am afraid that I will be frightened at this time, but Tian Yu will not be so bad. He still maintained his composure and said patiently: "Your Excellency is only afraid that you will recognize the wrong person, I don't know any little five links." ”
"Tian Yu, don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, I know your details well, even if you say the dragon's cry today, I won't let you go." You're actually a human trafficker who specializes in buying and selling people, and you just made a dirty deal last night and sold seven innocent women. Zhao Zheng said awe-inspiringly. He was ready to make a move, and a stream of internal force came out of his body and spread, forming an invisible strong wind, blowing the sand and gravel on the ground tumbling and moving.
When it comes to this, no matter how much rhetoric is useless, Tian Yu's face is completely overcast, as if it is shrouded in a layer of frost. He looked at Zhao Zheng with murderous intent, and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know these things?" ”
"If people don't know unless they do it, why do I know that I don't need to tell you these things, you just need to know that I am the one who wants to arrest you!" Zhao Zheng shouted.
"Hmph, in that case, you can do it, I want to see how capable you are as a junior." Tian Yu sneered, but he didn't show any fear, he was a dignified eightfold heavenly martial artist, and his strength was not covered, and he could see that Zhao Zheng was only single, and there was no one else present. If he did it, he was completely sure.
"If you want to see it, then you can see enough!" Zhao Zheng didn't say anything again, he started directly, stretched out his palm and slapped the heavenly machine box behind him, released the eight swords hidden inside, and pulled out the Zichu sword hanging from his waist. As soon as he made a move, he used the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique, using internal force to stick to the eight swords, dividing one sword to protect in front of him, and the other seven swords to attack.
After cultivating the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique for so long, he has thoroughly mastered this sword technique and has figured out the most suitable tactic for himself.
One sword is held in the hand, one sword is kept for defense, and seven swords are used to perform the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique. In this way, you can attack, retreat, defend, range, and melee combat, this is the best tactic he has figured out!
Eight swords hung in the air, buzzing, and the intimidation of such a formation was not small.
Tian Yu's eyes changed slightly, and he blurted out: "You junior actually has a sevenfold heavenly cultivation!" ”
Zhao Zheng has not yet used the ability to use his heart, he only controls the sword to float in the air, so Tian Yu looked away and underestimated Zhao Zheng's strength. For this little misunderstanding, Zhao Zheng was not in a hurry to explain anything, the other party underestimated his strength, which was only good for him, not harmful.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid!" Zhao Zheng said this deliberately, and controlled the seven swords to blast towards Tian Yu, and the seven swords turned into seven cold lights, cutting through the air, causing a burst of sharp roars.
"Afraid of you? Hehe, don't be kidding, I, Tian Yu, am not afraid of a Sevenfold Heavenly Martial Artist. Tian Yu sneered, lightly tapped his feet, rose up, and faced the seven swords in mid-air. As soon as he made a move, he used the most confident "Five Fowl Play" in his life, and his claws poked forward to make a tiger pounce. A tiger-shaped energy burst out in response, and shook hard with the seven swords, easily crushing the seven swords, causing them to fall down one after another.
Seeing that he had defeated the seven swords with an overwhelming attitude, Tian Yu's face showed a look of pride, and he continued to maintain a "tiger-shaped" posture and attacked Zhao Zheng himself. There are five forms of the five bird operas he practiced, namely tiger opera, deer opera, bear opera, ape opera, and bird opera, among which the tiger opera is the most fierce and domineering.
In the face of Tian Yu's domineering offensive, Zhao Zheng's face showed a trace of panicked fear, as if he was "frightened" by Tian Yu's strength. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
The seven swords that fell, suddenly the fierce light was great! (To be continued......)
