Chapter Eighty-Nine: Targeted
When resting halfway home, Jiang Yun sat on the ground against a tree in the corner of the team, and when no one was paying attention, he made a look of resting with his eyes closed, and entered the hermit's hall.
After a quick check, the task of acquiring Yin Qi crystals for a long time was still there, and the price had not changed, so he was relieved.
Inevitably dreaming a lot at night, he planned to sell these yin qi crystals as soon as he went back.
It's inconvenient to sell it now, mainly because I'm worried that the yin qi crystals I carry with me will suddenly disappear, in case someone else notices it, it's hard to explain.
Confirming that the task of acquiring crystals was still there, Jiang Yun was ready to leave the Hermit's Hall.
But when I glanced at it, I saw a task hanging high in the task list:
"From the Burial Sword Villa, bring Jiang Yun to Jian'an City in the south of the Yangtze River. Requirements: Must be alive and in good health. ”
This is a private mission, not a temple mission, but the limited authority is relatively high.
Jiang Yun couldn't see the person who issued the task, as the manager of the Hidden World Society, Jiujie had the power to cancel the private task that was released, and even investigate who sent the private task. However, if Jiang Yun wanted to conduct this kind of investigation, it would inevitably alarm several other ring masters, and without violating the principle of the Hidden World Society to fight against 'criminal karma' and 'miracles', he couldn't prevent others from posting this task.
But Jiang Yun couldn't figure it out, who was the person who issued the task?
Who's eyeing him?
Imperial Mansion?
But Jiang Yun thought about it for a while and ruled out this possibility.
The main reason is that I am afraid that it is unlikely that the official will release the task through the Hidden World Society. It is indeed possible that the members of the Hidden Society may have people who work in the government, but they will never reveal information about the Hidden Society to the outside world. This, after they became hermits, was implanted directly into the soul.
As long as they have revealed thoughts, then the power imprinted in the soul will prevent him from doing so; If you force it, the soul will be annihilated.
This may be something that people at the level of the Abyss Realm cannot resist or reverse.
This factor is destined to have people in the hidden world who may exist in the government, but they will never be used by the government.
On the other hand, there is motivation. The government has cleared his identity, he is no longer a wanted criminal, and it is not beneficial to catch him, but it will further anger the local forces, why do they do this?
What's more, from the detailed rules of the task, it is required to bring Jiang Yun to Jian'an.
Jian'an County, located in the southeasternmost part of Jiangnan Province, is a city facing the sea on both sides, and if you go southwest, you will enter the boundary of Jiaozhou, which no longer belongs to the concept of traditional Wu land.
The ruling core of the Great Jin Dynasty is still in the north, mainly in the Central Plains, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places, and the control over the border places such as Yongzhou, Xiliang, and Youzhou is also okay, but the further south it goes, the more unreliable it is.
Assuming that it is really someone in the official mansion, if you want to arrest him and capture him alive, it makes no sense to bring him to Jian'an.
But since it is unlikely that the government wants to target him, who else wants to capture him alive in Jian'an?
Who is the person who released the task and what is the purpose, judging from Jiang Yun's current information, it is impossible to guess at all.
It was inconvenient to stay in the hidden world space for too long, Jiang Yun withdrew his spirit and returned to reality, but he was still thinking about this matter in his head.
The publisher of this task, it seems that the malice is not particularly great, to ensure that he is not captured alive, and he also requires that he be in good health. It seems that his identity is very valuable to the person behind the scenes.
But in any case, he had to be a little more careful.
In the Burial Sword Villa, safety should still be guaranteed. If you dare to come to the burial of Sword Villa and rob people, you can't do it in the realm of the abyss. Capturing alive and unharmed is much more difficult than assassination.
But despite this, he himself usually has to be more vigilant.
……
Sitting against the tree, Jiang Yun's mind was full of thoughts, and at this moment, he heard a burst of footsteps, and someone was walking towards him.
When I opened my eyes, it was Pang Yang.
"Senior Brother Jiang." Pang Yang said with a smile, "The water in the team has run out, come with me to get some water, and it will take two days to go back to the villa." ”
Around his waist, there was a string of water bladders, seven or eight of them, all of which were empty.
Just now seeing the task for himself in the Hidden World Society, Jiang Yun now feels very sensitive to everything.
When you run out of water to drink, it's normal to go to a mountain stream not far away to get water.
However, why go on your own?
He is not familiar with Pang Yang, he went to fetch water to find a companion, why not find someone with a better relationship and familiarity?
Before the recombination, Pang Yang along the way seemed to be getting closer to him. That's it, Jiang Yun always has a feeling that he seems to be still creating opportunities to be alone with him, intentionally or unintentionally.
These made Jiang Yun feel very suspicious.
He knew that it might be that he was too sensitive and suspicious, and maybe people just wanted to make friends with him, and they didn't have any other thoughts at all.
But he still didn't want to go with this Pang Yang like this.
"Senior Brother Pang, I fought hard before, and I was also injured, I sat down at this time, I don't think about it very much, why don't you go and find someone else?"
"Everyone is fighting hard, and they are all wounded, why do you want to find someone else? Why don't you just go with me. ”
Pang Yang's attitude suddenly became stronger, and he still had a smile on his face, but his body was faintly pressed forward.
Immediately, Jiang Yun became highly alert.
He stood up from the ground, made a defensive gesture, and asked loudly at the same time, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Deliberately loud, in order to attract the attention of others, but he did not pin all his hopes on others, and he was secretly prepared to do the other.
Jiang Yun was sitting on the edge of the place in order to enter the Hidden World Hall before, and there was no one next to him. His voice, of course, made many people's eyes look over, but because they didn't know what was going on, everyone's attitude seemed to be biased towards wait-and-see.
At this point, Jiang Yun felt that things should be almost stable.
Pang Yang's strength is much stronger than him, Qi Qixing's peak level, and his accumulation is deeper, and his strength is even stronger than Lu Jiuxue. But even so, he couldn't have done anything to himself when so many people were noticing.
Not far away, there was Yang Qi, and there were even two sword masters from the Realm. If he really dared to make a move, and no matter whether he could take Jiang Yun or not, he would definitely not be able to run away.
However, he never imagined that Pang Yang would really do it.
I saw that the internal qi in this senior brother's body instantly became violent.
The distance between the two was not far, just a few positions, he stepped over in a blink of an eye, the long sword slashed, and there was faint white vapor on the blade!
