Chapter 215: Find Yan Xingzhi's whereabouts
After dawn, Bai Tang took the two wilted 'fugitives' to bid farewell to the Qingfeng faction, and rode down the mountain to leave.
Although Lou Qingqing and Wei Yuan were not substantially punished for the time being, the two of them were not happy at all, because after they returned, they had to write the "Hundred Treasures of Medicine" twenty times.
Not to mention that both of them are the kind of people who don't like to read, let alone calm down and write silently, not to mention that "Medicine Treasure Baidian" is not an article, it is a book thicker than a jade pillow, which is simply an impossible task.
The three of them went down the mountain and did not return to Luoping Town to inquire about the news, but went west.
Since Yan Xingzhi's participation in the Qingfeng Sect's inner door competition only happened to meet, it means that this should be one of the ways he must go, and it is impossible for him to go back.
Bai Tang first sent a letter to the Great Elder, asking him to look for any clues left by the senior brother, and sent someone to Tianji Pavilion to secretly search for news.
At present, the disappearance of Yan Xingzhi is unknown, and it is not possible for too many people to know about it for the time being, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people will want to take advantage of it.
Although the status of Zongyang Medical Valley is extraordinary, and most people dare not offend easily, it does not mean that no one has been secretly peeping behind their backs, under the pretense of the idea of Medical Valley.
On the Baitang side, according to the topographic map provided by the three elders of the Qingfeng faction, after some deliberation, he chose the westbound route.
Because there was a small city three hundred miles to the west, she hoped to find out some news there, and if she couldn't find out, it would not be too late to change the route.
The three of them rode their horses and hurried away, and they were all good horses that traveled thousands of miles a day, so they arrived at their destination before noon.
Jinmu City is an inconspicuous small city in the Wei State, because it was ignored by the imperial court, and it was near most martial arts forces, so it has basically become a gathering place for Jianghu people over time, which is also convenient for Bai Tang to inquire about the news.
There is a Juying Building in Jinmu City, which is mostly used as a place for people from the rivers and lakes to gather and discuss things.
Maybe Bai Tang and the others were lucky, and they really got clues in Juying Building.
One guy remembered that nearly half a month ago, there was indeed a man here who was suspected to be the chief disciple of Zongyang Medical Valley.
According to the guy, at that time, there was someone in the building who made trouble, and it was quite a brother, and then someone came out to do something, and the man claimed to be named Yan Xingzhi, and later someone seemed to recognize the identity of the other party, and asked if it was Yan Xingzhi, the chief disciple of Zongyang Medical Valley, and the person also admitted it.
Later, because he gave Yan Xingzhi a face, he actually planned to take the opportunity to make friends, so everyone also stopped.
The guy said that Yan Xingzhi was later invited by one of the parties to go to Qingyi Building for dinner.
Bai Tang asked the image of Yan Xingzhi at that time, because of Yan Xingzhi's fame, and his appearance is indeed very outstanding, so the guy also remembers it very clearly, but if he wants to describe it, he can only describe it roughly.
Bai Tang thought about it, then borrowed pen and ink, began to draw, and after a while, he brought out a bust of Yan Xingzhi.
As soon as the man looked at it, he was immediately sure that this was the man he had seen that day.
After confirming the news, Lou Qingqing was overjoyed, so he wanted to ask what happened later, but the guy could only provide this news, and he said that he didn't know what happened after Yan Xingzhi left.
Fortunately, there was news, and the three of them turned to the Love Building.
Qingyilou also affirmed that Yan Xingzhi had arrived, because when the other party came, there were many people following behind, obviously not in a group, but they all came in, and pretended to just come in to eat and drink.
The shopkeeper was afraid that these were trying to make trouble here or carry out vendetta or something like that, so he sent a guy to inquire, so the memory of Yan Xingzhi's arrival was also very deep.
However, Yan Xingzhi only stayed here with some people for a while, and then left, and the shopkeeper saw him outside the door and parted ways with the others and left by himself.
Bai Tang asked who was with Yan Xingzhi that day, but the shopkeeper only said that he didn't know, this answer was the same as the guys in Juyinglou, they all said that they didn't know those people, they were just ordinary guests passing by, and they looked very ordinary, and because these people were too ordinary, they were even more outstanding Yan Xingzhi, which made people remember him more deeply.
Now, the clue is broken here again.
"Eh, Sister Sugar Candy, I have a solution!" Wei Yuan said suddenly.
The two looked at her, and Lou Qingqing immediately asked, "What's the solution?" ”
Wei Yuan smiled, looked at Bai Tang, looked sly, and said in a coquettish tone, "If the method is really useful, can it be regarded as atonement, Sister Tangtang?" ”
Before she could speak, Bai Tang basically guessed her careful thoughts, and said expressionlessly, "If it's useless, how about adding a crime?" ”
Wei Yuan, "......" Sister Tangtang is getting more and more difficult to do, she must have been taught bad by Brother Jiu.
The little girl immediately wilted, obviously she didn't have confidence in the so-called solution.
Lou Qingqing's eyes didn't stare anymore, but glanced at her gloatingly.
Bai Tang looked at her with some amusement, thought about it, and said, "If there is an effect, you can reduce it as appropriate." ”
When Wei Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up again, and he asked, "Is it double if it's useless?" ”
"No, you don't." Bai Tang said, "Say it." ”
Wei Yuan suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, satisfied, although it was only reduced as appropriate, but he finally had a direction to work towards, maybe a few more opportunities on the road would really be able to overcome the merits.
Lou Qingqing pouted, not admitting that he was envious, jealous and hateful.
However, based on his concern for the senior brother, he also hopes that Wei Yuan's method will work.
Wei Yuan's method is also very simple, it is completely based on her secondary two idea and extended, which is to start with the beggars in Jinmu City.
It is said in the play that a lot of news is obtained from beggars, and I heard that there are also beggar gangs.
The two were a little speechless after hearing this, but they could only be dead horses as live horse doctors.
But I didn't expect this girl to be right.
The so-called money can make the devil grind, and under the heavy money, two days later, a beggar who is said to have the news came to the door.
The other party said that he saw Yan Xingzhi and a woman in black go out of the city and go east.
The woman was wearing a gauze hat and did not see her face clearly.
The beggar was going to the field to dig sweet potatoes and was about to return to the city after eating them in the woods.
The beggar subconsciously hid behind the big tree and secretly looked, looking at the two greedily, and then seemed to be noticed by the woman in black because her vision was too explicit, and the woman raised her hand and shot a hidden weapon.
He was startled, and then quickly crawled out to his knees and begged for mercy amid the woman's shouts.
The woman wanted to kill her, but the man in white next to her stopped her, and the two left.
Because it was a death robbery at that time, the memory was very deep, and because the man saved his life, he was also quite grateful to the man, and after returning to the city, he went to inquire, and later learned that the man may be the chief disciple of Zongyang Medical Valley, Yan Xingzhi.
Lou Qingqing asked, "Since the other party saved your life, and you are also grateful, why did you inform us of his news so easily, aren't you afraid that we are looking for revenge against him?" ”
"This ......" the beggar was a little helpless, "this little boy, you have never been hungry and suffered, like those of us who live precariously, there is no meal, I don't know if it is a day when you suddenly can't see the sun tomorrow, sometimes this thing is not worth a steamed bun." ”
"You, you're ungrateful!" Lou Qingqing was immediately furious.
The beggar shrugged his shoulders and looked like I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it.
Bai Tang stopped Lou Qingqing from beating people, thought about it, directly hypnotized the other party with mental power, and then asked him again, and only woke him up after making sure that there was nothing wrong with the statement.
The beggar woke up with a shock, shook his head, and wondered what had happened just now, but after seeing the silver that Lou Qingqing was unwilling to throw in front of him, he also ignored the strange appearance just now.
The beggar quickly picked up the money, took a bite on his mouth, and then thanked him with a grin.
Lou Qingqing was even more bored with it, and drove people directly with a vicious voice, "Okay, take the money, you can go." ”
"Hehe, yes, yes, if you still need a small one, a small knife mountain and a sea of fire will be used as a cow and a horse."
"." Lou Qingqing glared at him angrily.
The beggar was also afraid of angering the little boy again, so he packed the silver and went out cautiously with his pockets covered.
But halfway through the door, the beggar turned again, and then lifted his dirty shirt.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Lou Qingqing's eyes widened and he immediately shouted.
At this time, the beggar had already taken out a thing from the waist of his pants and walked respectfully over it, put it on the table, and said, "This is the hidden weapon that the woman shot into the tree that day, and it was originally a small one to leave to protect oneself, but this thing may be more useful for a few people, and it is not like seeking revenge for Yan Shaoxia, I hope this can help, and it can be regarded as a small retribution." ”
Lou Qingqing was angry and blushing by this shameless guy again, but the other party was already like a loach, slipping away quickly.
Bai Tang picked up the things on the table.
It was a secret weapon about the size of a palm, two fingers wide, with a diamond-shaped tip, barbs on both sides, and a pattern carved on the handle.
"This is a secret weapon, it's pretty good." Wei Yuan also looked at this secret weapon, praised it heartily, and quietly decided in his heart that he would also create a special secret weapon for himself when he had the opportunity.
Lou Qingqing looked at the hidden weapon, but frowned, as if he was trying to remember something, "This hidden weapon, how do you seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
Bai Tang said, "It's a copper hook door." ”
When Lou Qingqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped and said, "Yes, copper hook!" I've seen it in the weapons book before. ”
"What is a Copper Hook Door?" Wei Yuan opened his apricot eyes and asked curiously.
"Tonggoumen is a sect, it is said that it developed from the salt gang a long time ago, and then the salt was accepted and monopolized by the government, and the salt gang was constantly suppressed, and finally scattered, some from the good to the business, some fell into the water for the coward, and some became scattered.
And the copper hook door is the evolution of the one that fell into the water at the beginning.
Because they started out as water pirates, the coat of arms resembled a double-headed fishhook with a sharp arrow underneath, and a similar weapon was later created as a symbol.
However, I heard that it was later changed and established itself as a faction, named Copper Hook.
However, bandits are bandits after all, and even if they change their appearance, they can't change their insidious, cruel and greedy nature.
Although the Copper Hook Gate is not a faction of evil demons, it is not the right way, and most of the disciples are thieves and thieves, and they do all kinds of evil.
This secret weapon is the symbol of their sect. ”
After listening to Lou Qingqing's popular science, Wei Yuan's eyes widened, "Since they are wicked people, why does Brother Yan want to be with the people of Tonghumen?" ”
None of the people present were confused, thinking back to the beggar's description of the situation just now, it didn't look like it was just a chance meeting, it seemed that the woman still listened to the words of the senior brother.
They didn't think that the senior brother was in the same league as the people of the Copper Hook Gate, but they were afraid that the senior brother would be deceived or used, after all, the senior brother has always been kind to others.
Although things seem to be getting more and more confusing, there is finally a direction to find people.
The three of them set out again, following the direction pointed by the beggar.
Fortunately, walking up through the grove also detoured to the official road, although it is not named why they want to go around the official road in the grove in one more move, but it should be right to follow this road.
Although the official road is tortuous, they also pass through several villages along the way, and they usually inquire about the news in villages that are closer to the official road.
As the guy said, Yan Xingzhi's appearance is too outstanding, and his temperament is not good, it's hard not to pay attention.
This time, however, they were disappointed and failed to get any useful clues.
The three of them walked for a few more days, but they arrived in Fengdu.
Fengdu is like a city, but it is not a city, and although it is within the territory of Wei, it is not within the jurisdiction of Wei like Zongyang Medical Valley.
Fengdu is the self-built city of the Feng family, one of the four famous ancient families in the martial arts, and it is also the core of the Feng family's power.
It can also be said that this is a country of its own, and the Feng family is the master of this city, and all the rules are set by them.
However, the Feng family did not close Fengdu to allow outsiders to enter, but opened the city gates widely, like ordinary cities, and let outsiders come in to live or do business at will, as long as they kept the rules of Fengdu.
Therefore, Fengdu is also very prosperous, but this prosperity is different from other so-called prosperous cities in Wei.
This kind of prosperity in Fengdu is more like the kind of blunt prosperity of survival of the fittest after the big waves.
However, there is another point that is different from other cities, people who enter Fengdu need to report their real names and receive the corresponding identity cards to pass, and if they want to go out, they must also leave the identity cards and erase the corresponding names registered on the roster before leaving.
Therefore, to determine whether Yan Xingzhi has been to Fengdu, you need to check it from the roster.
It's just that Fengdu is not under the jurisdiction of the Wei State, and their status in the imperial court has no role here at all, and although Zongyang Medical Valley is extremely famous, it is not worshiped everywhere, and it is not a hall of words in the rivers and lakes, and they don't have such a big face to order the other party to give a roster.
And I don't know the relationship between Fengdu and Yigu, and Bai Tang can't take the liberty of revealing Yan Xingzhi's affairs.
Therefore, the three of them could only enter Fengdu first.
However, they didn't notice that when they registered their names, a hint of surprise flashed in the registrant's eyes, and he looked at them vaguely.
As soon as they left, the registrant sent someone to whisper a few words of advice, and then let someone else take his place, and left in a hurry.
Bai Tang and the three of them led the horses on the avenue, and Wei Yuan looked around curiously, chattering non-stop. Take a look at the latest chapter of "NPC in Ancient Times: Love at Doctor's Sight, Rely on Your Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
