Chapter 86: Catching a Thief in the Early Morning (Part I)
Wen Ming's expression moved, he already felt that something was wrong, and the direction in which the voice came from was where the Wen family's medicine field was.
His cultivation place was more than a hundred meters away from the Wen family's medicine field, if it weren't for the silence at this time, and his facial features were extremely sensitive, he wouldn't have heard the small whispers so far away.
Wen Ming lightly used trees and stones as obstacles and slowly approached the source of the sound, the distance was close, and the voice of the words gradually began to be faintly distinguishable:
"Don't make a mistake with that old man."
"Don't worry, I'm more afraid than you, the young master may lose his head if it's fine. ”
Wen Ming's face changed greatly, he had already heard these two voices, one of them was a patrol soldier, the patrol soldier usually only changed one or two people a month, he had been in the mountain for three months, and he had met and talked to these patrol soldiers, although he only talked a few words occasionally, but with his memory, it was impossible to remember the wrong voice in a short time.
This patrol soldier's surname is Jiang, his name is Zhiyong, and it is said that he has a very weak relationship with the Jiang family of the ruling family, and I don't know how many generations away. But it's that connection that has allowed him to beat out a host of competitors to become a patrol fighter last month.
Wen Ming was already surprised by the sneaky voice of the patrol soldier, but another voice made him even more unexpected, it should be Jiang Haitao who was the owner of this voice!
The dignified young master of the Jiang family ran to the mountains in the middle of the night to conspire with others to steal the dog, how strange he thought. But that's the case, Wen Ming, who has been a classmate for two years, will never mistake Jiang Haitao's voice.
Distinguishing the identities of the owners of the two voices would only surprise him, and what made Wen Ming's face change greatly was the vaguely heard Jiang Haitao say "that old man", presumably the old man in his mouth was Gu Yishi.
In order to facilitate the care of medicinal herbs, and at the same time, he also likes the tranquility of the mountain, so he asked someone to build a small cabin on the mountain, and usually lives in it.
Listening to the meaning of Jiang Haitao's words, it must have been something to Gu Lao, but don't kill him directly, right?! Wen Ming thought that his face was already full of murder, if they really dared to kill Gu Lao, he would definitely have to pay for their lives!
Jiang Haitao can ignore it, Jiang Zhiyong is a Dawn Warrior in the Extreme Realm, before today, Wen Ming had no certainty of defeating him at all, but now that the seed has turned green, he is more than half sure of defeating him head-on, not to mention that at this time they are in the dark, and he can't think of the possibility of his failure.
Wen Ming slowly approached the past more and more carefully, and the conversation between the two became clearer and clearer:
"Don't take advantage of the force and swallow my share after the deed is done. This is Jiang Haitao's voice.
"Don't worry, I still need your help to send the whole family out of the city in the morning, and I'll divide the medicinal herbs with you later. "The surname Jiang is a patrol soldier.
"That's fine, let's get started. ”
"Well, it's time to hurry, although Drunkard Cheng was drunk by me, but it will be troublesome if the other three patrol nearby and see us. ”
Then the two of them did not speak again, but there was a sound of rustling.
Wen Ming was only more than 50 meters away from the two of them at this time, and he hid behind a tree and looked at the source of the sound:
Through the starlight, you can see two figures facing you sideways, undulating in the Wen family's medicine field, every time you get up, you will grab a few medicinal herbs in your hands and throw them into the bag on the side.
Wen Ming's eyes were slightly on fire, these two people really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to go to the Wen family's medicine field to steal medicinal materials. Although the Wen family is only the weakest of the major families, and grandpa Wen Ruoxu is almost the weakest among the several consuls, the dignity of the consuls and the ruling family will not allow them to offend, and the Wen family's medicine field will not only be furious if it is stolen, but the other families will also be afraid that they will become the next one to be stolen, and they will inevitably thoroughly investigate the theft of the medicine field.
The combined power of the five archons and the five great families is extremely huge within the city, and there is no doubt that the whole story will be found out in the end.
Did the two of them eat the bear's heart leopard gall Wenming didn't have time to pay attention to it, he just wanted to catch the two now.
Wen Ming moved slightly around the back of the two of them, 40 meters and 30 meters, maybe Wen Ming was too careful and barely made any sound, and the two of them had been concentrating on digging up the medicinal herbs and were slightly distracted by their vigilance, and they didn't even notice that Wen Ming was approaching.
22 meters, 21 meters, 20 meters, when Wen Ming was only 19 meters away from the relatively close patrol soldier surnamed Jiang, Jiang Zhiyong finally noticed it, no matter how careful Wen Ming was, there would always be a very slight movement, and any soldier's five senses were quite keen, and the spiritual power that was far stronger than ordinary people would gradually have extrasensory perception - the sixth sense, which made their perception beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It was only at this distance that Jiang Zhiyong realized that he could already praise Wen Ming's actions for being careful and meticulous enough, and Jiang Zhiyong was also more excited the more medicinal materials he dug up, and his vigilance weakened a lot to let Wen Ming get so close.
Jiang Zhiyong shouted in a low voice: "Who!" At the same time, his body quickly turned back, and his right hand pulled out the sword inserted in his waist.
A meteor rises in the darkness and flies 19 meters of space at a speed that makes one almost think it is a real meteor.
When Jiang Zhiyong's body had not completely turned around and the sword had only been drawn out for the most part, a meteor appeared in front of him, and at such a critical moment, a thought still irrepressibly appeared in his mind: This meteor is so beautiful!
Then I saw this beautiful meteor shoot in an arc on the right hand of the sword, and when the meteor touched the hand, the starlight shone for a moment, and then the right hand lost consciousness.
Jiang Haitao's hand shook when he heard the low shout of the soldier next to him, and he turned around quickly, but when he turned around, he only saw a little meteor flashing, and then it seemed that his companion's hand fell to the ground.
"Snort!" This is Jiang Zhiyong's sword finally pulled out by inertia, but it immediately fell into the field.
"Ahh
But he was also extraordinary, he just stopped after screaming, and with his left hand he tore a long strip of his clothes and roughly bandaged the severed hand, so that he had time to look at the person who appeared in front of him.
Wen Ming didn't stop him, if Gu Lao was fine, he didn't want to take their lives, and he also had to ask why they wanted to steal the Wen family's medicinal materials.
Jiang Zhiyong had already seen Wen Ming's face clearly at this time, and said in an extremely complicated tone: "The stars of Red Maple City are really worthy of the name of the three great geniuses, and they are also worthy of the title of stars. There was despair, sorrow, embarrassment, admiration and so on in his voice, which was difficult to describe one by one.
Jiang Haitao looked at Wen Ming with a miserable face, he didn't dare to imagine what fate he would have.
Wen Ming said lightly: "I don't understand why you dare to come and steal medicinal materials. ”
The symbolism of the patrol soldier is more than the practical meaning, because it is often several years or even ten or twenty years before someone steals medicinal materials, and the thieves are all people who have no family and have no way out, and it is unheard of for a child of an archon family and a patrol soldier with a family to steal together.
Jiang Zhiyong was silent for a while and said hoarsely: "I am 49 years old this year, I have been trapped in the extreme realm (the four realms have been announced in Red Maple City) and cannot be promoted, although the body ages slowly after becoming a warrior, but the physical function will slowly decline when I get older, the older I get, the more impossible it is to be promoted, I have always been unwilling but there is no way, this time Haitao found me, I can't resist the temptation and want to fight." ”
Wen Ming shook his head, I don't know how many people are unwilling, but very few people do extreme things, firstly, most people are rational and intelligent, and secondly, there is no opportunity for them to do extreme things.
