Chapter 14: The Peach Valley Forest

The sound was so loud that an old man with gray hair but a solemn temperament walked into the house, and after adding another person to the already small room, it looked a little cramped.

"I've heard your analysis outside, and I can remember it in the future, I have to close the door and say these words, the wall has ears, and I have to guard against it. The old man's words were undoubted, seeing that Mu Rongjing and Liu Mengchen respectfully agreed to the old man, Jiang Yichen also agreed.

"Alright, the house is cramped, come outside with me. The old man spoke again.

There were already two people waiting outside the door, one of them was covered with oil, with a headband wrapped around his bare head, and he was also casually draped in a burlap coat, looking very casual, and his face seemed to be somewhat similar to that of the white-haired old man. One person is dressed in white with a sword and a black cloth cloak, which is obviously a chivalrous attire.

Murong Jing introduced to Jiang Yichen that this oily man named Qi Shanqing was the largest wine merchant in Taoyuan Town and the nephew of the mayor of Taoyuan Town. The young man in white with a sword is named Qiu Yingchu, and he is the young chief of the guard in the town. And this white-haired old man is naturally Qi Tianwen, the mayor of Taoyuan Town. Jiang Yichen has seen you one by one as a junior.

"The matter of Qianzhulin Wine Workshop, since we are sure of what tricks the other party is playing, then we will plan it and invite you into the urn. The four of you will have to make arrangements accordingly. Mayor Qi arranged, and then looked at Jiang Yichen.

"Senior Qi, if there is anything you need to go down, just command. Jiang Yichen was a little flustered, but a little excited, this is also an opportunity for the rivers and lakes to experience.

"This time we have a lot of thanks to the little brother's help, but now we only have a few clues, and the rest is mostly analysis and speculation. At present, we need to confirm the speculation in various ways. ”

"The arrangement and operation of specific actions, such as checking the pottery workshops in Jiangning County and Gusu, what special orders can be made recently, etc. It will take some time to do this without your opponent noticing. I don't know if the little brother has other important things to do, but if he can, of course, the little brother is also welcome to help. Mayor Qi changed his loving face and returned with a smile.

Mayor Qi's performance surprised the four people on the side, when did our Mayor Qi become so amiable? When did our Mayor Qi be so patient and explain to a little hairy child so meticulously? When did our Mayor Qi actually laugh? Will laugh! Will laugh!

Jiang Yichen had something important to do, so he had to go to see the old man first within the 20-day deadline, and the task of exploring the Thousand Bamboo Forest was only arranged by the way. Mayor Qi's words were not leaky, which directly made Jiang Yichen speechless.

Murong Jing saw that Jiang Yichen was completely killed by the town elder in seconds, and he also guessed that Jiang Yichen had just left Xishan Island and came to Jiangning County to find the old man. With a belly slander of "smiling old fox", he flashed out to save Jiang Yichen, and said to Mayor Qi with a smile, "Boss Qi, Brother Jiang still has something important to do, and he has to go to Juyuan to find the old man first." In this case, let him rest in the town for two days, and then I will take him to see Old Berha, as a thank you for his help this time. ”

Murong Jing originally thought that he would be able to pass the round with a smile and a smile, but Qi Tianwen's deep eyes shot directly into Murong Jing's eyes, and he realized that he had kicked the stone slab this time.

"Ah, then I'll take Brother Jiang to play in town for a day, and I'll send him away tomorrow. Murong Jing estimated that this old fox knew more than himself, since this was the case, then he should get out quickly and ask for more blessings.

Qi Tianwen didn't say anything more and acquiesced. Except for Murong Jing, the other four left after saying goodbye to Jiang Yichen.

Murong Jing entertained Jiang Yichen for a whole day with delicious food and drink, and the next day he took Liu Mengchen to the gate of the town to see Jiang Yichen, and at the same time handed over the little brown horse and bags brought by the person from Majiayi yesterday to Jiang Yichen.

"Brother Jiang, the king's order cannot be violated, and we can only send it here, don't mind. Murong Jing was full of smiles, pretending to be almost the same as Mayor Qi's loving smile, which made Jiang Yichen laugh directly when he was still in a mood of regret.

"Brother Murong is serious, don't say much about thanks, thank you and Brother Liu for coming to see me off today, uh, there will be a period later. Jiang Yichen won't say much if he says thank you, and he won't say much if he says goodbye, the farewell scene is slightly embarrassing, but he is really grateful to the two of them in his heart, especially Murong Jing, thinking that after seeing the old man, he will come back to Taoyuan Town to get together with them again if he has the opportunity.

"Hehe, little brother, there will be a period later. Come on!" Liu Mengchen, a rough man, didn't feel embarrassed, and he could even encourage Jiang Yichen.

"That's right, yes, there will be a period later, and when we get together again, we'll get drunk and rest!" Murong Jing immediately made up.

Jiang Yichen was stepping on the horse, and Murong Jing's sentence "one drunk Fang Xiu" almost made him roll off the horse, which also caused Murong Jing and Liu Mengchen to laugh.

waved goodbye to the two, and when they were about to leave, they were stopped by Murong Jing again.

"Brother Jiang, go this way. Murong Jing seemed to have made a very important decision after struggling in his heart for a long time, and pointed out to Jiang Yichen in the opposite direction to go to Juyuan.

"Isn't Juyuan going that way?" Jiang Yichen looked puzzled.

"Juyuan is going that way, yes, but, this time you listen to me, go this way, go to the peach valley forest first, if you find the way up the mountain in the forest, then go up the mountain, if you can't find it, then go back to the chrysanthemum garden, and you can't delay for a few days. Murong Jing persuaded bitterly.

"But my destination is Juyuan, and it's not easy to go to the Peach Valley Forest, so why does Brother Murong need the service of the younger brother? Jiang Yichen didn't doubt that Murong Jing had him, and asked seriously.

"Ahem, little brother, it is rumored that if you can find a way up the mountain in the secluded forest of Peach Valley, there will be a big chance. As for the Murong brothers, they are also out of good intentions, and they feel that the brothers are good, or they can gain something there. Knowing Murong Jing's intentions, and afraid that he would confide too much that he shouldn't say, Liu Mengchen hurried to the rescue.

"So it was. There is still plenty of time to go to the chrysanthemum garden, so the little brother will go and try this opportunity, thank you to the two brothers. Jiang Yichen thought for a moment, the two of them had no ill will towards themselves, they still chose to believe and accept their kindness, anyway, the current progress is quite smooth, there is still more time, and they can do it.

Immediately, bidding farewell to the two again, Lerma set off in the direction of the peach valley forest.

Looking at Jiang Yichen's departing back, Liu Mengchen opened his mouth first.

"Did you know that if he can't find his way up the mountain, he will get lost in the secluded forest, and he will probably miss the time limit to go to the chrysanthemum garden?"

"I know, but if he goes to the old man like this, I'm afraid it will also be the result of going home. The trial of the chrysanthemum garden is not easy to pass. ”

"So you're a dead horse and a live horse doctor?"

"It's also a gamble of luck, so what do you think?"

"I'm more pessimistic, even if he finds his way up the mountain, he may not be able to discover the mystery in front of the cliff, and he may just rush to the lake. ”

"The world is lucky, or those who are destined to get it, doesn't there happen to be a 'fate' word on his jade pendant?"

"Hehe, strong words. ”

"Then tell me why you helped him too?"

"Hey. It's not because of you, I'm afraid that you will not choose your words and flash your tongue. After all, I'm on the sidelines, and I don't want to suffer with you! Of course, I also want to see the final result, maybe it's really a fool's luck. ”

"Ha, thank you so much. ”

"Don't be polite with me. ”

"Hey, you rough man, you've become skinny!"

......

The peach valley is a maze of forests, and the winding paths lead to seclusion. Jiang Yichen and Murong have parted ways, and most of the days have passed since they came to this Peach Valley secluded forest.

In the early spring, the peach blossoms are blooming, the eyes are full of pink, and the fragrance of the valley is heartfelt.

At the beginning, Jiang Yichen could still revel in the "full of trees and delicate red, ten thousand branches of Dancai scorching spring", after finding that he had been trapped in the valley and forest, he was no longer in the mood, and began to look around for the way up the mountain or out of the valley.

However, it is difficult to find a way out, whether you are heading in the direction of Kasuga, or walking straight forward in the direction you have determined, or marking the direction on the ground with your sword.

He was completely lost in this sea of red flowers.
