Chapter 17: This Moment

Jiang Wang walked forward, came to the end of the street, and naturally turned right, forward, left, and then quickly circled into an alley.

He came and went in Wenxi County, as if he had lived here for a long time, and he had no intersection with passers-by.

When he entered a courtyard and reappeared, he was already wearing a cloak and a black robe, and had changed his outfit again.

Before he left, he deliberately made a noise.

Not long after, a fat man with an open clothes and a frank belly rushed out of the room, carrying a steel knife, and his momentum was menacing. When he looked into the courtyard, he immediately scolded: "My mother!!, where is the robe that Lao Tzu hangs here?"

A thin man next to him also squeezed out: "Hey, who did it? The cloak I hung outside was also smoothed!"

"I'm your mother!" The fat man looked around and scolded: "Even my Zheng Laosan's things dare to steal!"

"Third brother, look!" the thin man's eyes lit up and he pointed forward.

The fat man squinted.

There is a stone table in the courtyard, and the clothesline that originally hung the robe is not far from the stone table. At this moment, the robe was gone, but there was a bright silver ingot on the stone table. I don't know how many sets of robes and hats I can buy.

"Wow!" Zheng Laosan was furious, strode forward, and slashed down: "The thief dares to insult me!"

His voice was indignant, and it was clear that his dignity, his personality, had been greatly challenged.

The steel knife fell, splitting the silver ingot in two.

The blade slashed against the stone table, creating a spark.

Zheng Laosan wiped his fat hand and took away the vast majority of the piece, leaving only a small piece: "Si'er, this is the money that people left you to buy a cloak." I'll take the money for my robe. ”

Li Laosi had something to say, but he couldn't say it for a while in front of the bright steel knife. I had to say stupidly: "Listen to my brother." ”

There are three countries adjacent to the west of Yongguo, from north to south, namely Chen State, Jiao State, and Luo State.

Chen is in the northwest, Luo is in the southwest, and Jiao is due west.

Shun'an Mansion is the west of Yongguo, and Wenxi County is in the west of Shun'an Prefecture, almost close to the border city, and it is not far from Jiaoguo.

The headquarters of Qingyun Pavilion is in this kind of border prefecture and border county, which shows that it is not satisfactory. It's probably stronger than Chengguo's Lingkong Palace, but it's also limited.

This Qingyun Pavilion came to look for the lost building of the Genting Immortal Palace, and the situation was different from the one in the Lingkong Palace.

In the Lingkong Palace, Dou Mian had already cleared all the obstacles earlier, including the resistance of the upper echelons of the Cheng Kingdom. The Lingkong Hall completely belongs to Dou Mian, and with Dou Mian's cooperation, he only needs to go over and take over.

And in Qingyun Pavilion, he had to take into account the upper power of the Yongguo. There is no fighter behind him, and there is no Chu State behind him.

So even if Qingyun Pavilion's strength is not very good, he has to keep a low profile.

The lost building of the Genting Immortal Palace, whether the people of Qingyun Pavilion knew about its existence or not, it was impossible for Jiang Wang to take it away easily. Even trading is impossible, if he comes to the door with a big grin and makes it clear that he will talk about the transaction, the biggest possibility is that he will be swallowed by Qingyun Pavilion and Yunding Immortal Palace.

Being in a foreign country, with no clear path in front of you and no support behind you, you must be extremely cautious.

Jiang Wang's willingness to spend three days walking through most of the neighborhoods of Wenxi County and familiarizing himself with this county seat is the embodiment of this caution.

And this kind of caution, at least at this moment, won him the first advantage in the face of Zhang Linchuan - "geographical advantage".

Advantages have to be put to good use in order to achieve victory.

Jiang Wang, who was wearing a cloak and a robe, strode forward and soon arrived at the place where the target was.

On the street where he just met Zhang Linchuan, there are not many destinations that may be chosen in the direction in which Zhang Linchuan is going.

At that time, at the moment when he turned around to thank his aunt, the afterglow swept to the left, and Zhang Linchuan was going to the left.

There is a straight road on the way, and there are five forks on the way, which lead to different places. The intersection that Jiang Wang arrived at now is the location of the first fork on the left.

Judging by Zhang Linchuan's previous walking speed, if nothing happened, he should pass by, or turn onto, this fork in the road within half an hour.

Timing is important.

Silently calculating the time in his heart, Jiang Wang breathed steadily, and walked out.

He wasn't going to do anything right now.

But the first meeting just now was too sudden, and in order to hide the hostility, he didn't take a closer look. He needed to see Zhang Linchuan again, observe his state, feel his breath, and get more accurate information.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what could be done to leave a little mark on Zhang Linchuan.

Maybe you can try to sneak into a hidden snake?

He quickly vetoed it again. Tongtian Palace is a vital place, and the Divine Soul Hidden Snake will almost definitely be discovered, so it will startle the snake.

Or catch some breath and leave it for later?

It's a good way to go. It's a pity that the level of remembrance is too low, and I am afraid it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility.

In short, the first purpose is to determine Zhang Linchuan's current strength and state.

The second purpose is to try to leave the possibility of recourse.

And the best result is that in addition to this, the goal of Zhang Linchuan's trip can also be confirmed. In that way, you can make a plan with full targeting, just like you did with Hai Zongming. Know yourself and know your opponent, and then win all battles.

It should be said that Jiang Wang's attitude is cautious and his actions are prudent.

Exit the intersection and turn right.

There were many pedestrians walking in front of them, tall, short, fat and thin, with mixed accents. Jiang Wang made himself calmer and calmer, and his gaze swept casually......

No!

None of them fit the target.

Zhang Linchuan is gone!

Jiang Wang's heart stopped for a moment, and Sauvignon Blanc almost jumped out of its sheath on the spot.

But his breathing was steady, and his eyes were calm.

He still walked forward calmly, and his heart immediately resumed beating, beating as gently as possible.

The problem arises.

This is a fork in the road that must be passed, but I didn't see Zhang Linchuan appear. He either suddenly changed direction or suddenly changed speed, and whatever the reason seemed to say - what he found!

Was it discovered?

The more times like this, the more calm you should be.

Jiang Wang walked slowly, seemingly casually pressing the sword with his hand, and his thoughts were racing in his heart.

Assuming that he is Zhang Linchuan, no matter what he found out, even if he really found it...... What can be discovered?

It is nothing more than on the streets of Wenxi County, Yongguo, that he was suddenly noticed by a passer-by.

The passer-by, wearing a mask, was tightly wrapped and had a strange voice.

Can he recognize it, is it Jiang Wang?

For the White Bone Emissary, what he needs to pay attention to is Dong A, Wei Quji, and someone who can interfere with the White Bone Dao plan. Even for the identity of Zhang Linchuan of the Zhang family, Jiang Wang is just a new disciple of the inner gate and a rising star of the Taoist Academy. There was a temptation in Tangshe Town, and it was just a temptation......

In his impression, Jiang Wang, a person, must have overturned along with the Maple Forest City. No different from those hundreds of thousands of people who died. Is that Jiang Wang at that time better than Wei Yan, better than Zhao Lang, better than Shen Nanqi, and better than them?

And did he show hostility and murderous intent? Jiang Wang looked at himself seriously.

He was sure that he didn't show any emotion.

So in the face of a strange passer-by who just showed attention, what choice would Zhang Linchuan make?

Riot and kill, avoid it, and find out?

The White Bone Messenger is naturally indifferent to life and death, and the choice of killing people will not be more difficult than killing chickens. But the best time has been missed.

If you want to kill someone, you should do it at the moment when Jiang Wang observes Zhang Linchuan but fails.

Until now, there has been no movement, indicating that Zhang Linchuan has given up the first option.

For people like Zhang Linchuan, naturally there is no need to avoid a strange follower. So he probably wanted to find out. I want to know who cares about him and why. Whether there is hostility towards him.

In a hurry, he has quickly made a judgment - Zhang Linchuan may be peeping in secret!

Jiang Wang's footsteps were in a hurry, and he suddenly increased his speed.

But when the eyes swept, the pedestrians were the same, and no one showed anything abnormal within the field of vision.

Where is Zhang Linchuan hiding?

Now the situation has been reversed, and the enemy is dark and we are clear.

Jiang Wang had to admit that Zhang Linchuan was more difficult than he imagined. He came to observe Zhang Linchuan after several cover-ups, and now it seems that he is still not cautious enough.

He didn't know where he had exposed himself, but it had come to this point, and he had to deal with it.

Deal with it well.

At this time, there was a green skin in front of him, and he was walking locally.

Qingpi was about to turn right, but somehow his mind turned around and went around to the left.

It happened to collide with a person dressed as a scholar.

It seems that going around the left is a bad choice.

"Blind your dog's eyes!" Qingpi angrily grabbed the thin scholar.

The scholar was angry and said, "I let it go this way, and you let it go this way, how can you blame me?"

"Dare to quibble!" Qingpi raised his fist and was about to hit.

A hand, caught his fist.

"A little thing, why is it like this?" Jiang Wang easily separated the two people who were entangled, and gently persuaded: "When you go out, peace is precious." ”

In the interval of this "persuasion", he carefully observed the people on this street, but the result was no different. The suspected figure of Zhang Linchuan has not yet been found.

Am I worried?, he thought.

Zhang Linchuan may have just received some news suddenly, and he might have turned around and left.

Preferably so......

The green skin fist was easily caught, and he knew it in his heart, so he didn't say a word of cruelty, Jiang Wang "persuaded", and he hurried away.

"Thank you brother for your help. The thin scholar thanked him.

"You're welcome. Jiang Wang patted him on the shoulder, and then continued to move forward: "I still have something to do, go first." ”

This moment.

The street was full of people, and suddenly it stopped.

One by one, the figures disappeared.

After the crowd faded, only a back was left directly in front of it.

His back is straight, his hair hangs, and his temperament is cold, as if he has deviated from the world.

He was the only one left on the long street, and there was only this one back as far as the eye could see.

He turned.
