Chapter 65: Tracking Wang Zhong
When the rain stopped near noon, Wang Zhong's house was close to the official road, the water was smooth, and there was no accident, so the carriage and horses were prepared, and the group went to Taoxi Town by car.
After the rain, the sky was clear, a rainbow appeared in the position of the mountain range in front of it, looking beautiful and dazzling, breathing fresh air, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen lay on the car window, looking at the yellow water torrent outside, the grass was long, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the scene of the rainbow sun was rare.
When they arrived in Taoxi Town, the five of them got out of the car, and Wang Zhong turned the front of the car and said goodbye with a smile.
"Where are we going now?" Sun Xiaoman's eyes had long been attracted by the various colorful masks and ornaments on the street, and he looked at it with a blank eye and asked excitedly.
"Go find a place to stay, and I'll come as soon as I go. Ying Wuxin looked at Wang Zhong's departing car.
"Okay, follow this sign, and you'll be able to find us. Li Zhengdao pointed to a house on the side of the street, and a red pointed sign appeared.
"It only lasts for an hour, after which it will dissipate without leaving a trace. ”
"Understood. Ying nodded unintentionally and disappeared into the crowd.
Wang Banxian looked at it and said puzzledly: "Did Xiao Dao Ye go to?"
The corners of Li Zhengdao's mouth twitched, fortunately, he should be unintentional, otherwise the half-immortal would be beaten again, what is this guy thinking about all day long.
"Maybe it's a fool around, it is said that Taoxi Town is also very prosperous, and there are many noble people who come here to play. Sun Xiaoman said disdainfully.
Knowing his junior sister's temper, Li Zhengdao sighed and said softly: "Brother Wuxin heard some strange roars at Wang Zhong's house last night, it doesn't look like it came from a person, and now he should take advantage of Wang Zhong's absence to investigate." ”
"What about us?" Bai Miaozhen asked.
"You go to the inn, I'll check it out, maybe from Wang Zhong's body, I can find out something, the soldiers are divided into two ways, and the harvest will definitely be greater." ”
"No, I'm going to be with my brother. Sun Xiaoman pouted dissatisfiedly, in fact, she didn't want her senior brother to learn the method of unintentional bullshit reasoning, but it was not easy to say it clearly, after all, the senior brother had already said that she wanted to learn before.
Bai Miaozhen said: "The first time I came here, we were all scattered, it may not be a good thing, it is better to be together." ”
Wang Banxian naturally nodded, there were many people and safety, he couldn't be more happy.
Thinking that Liu Yidao was confined by confinement, and there might be a hidden powerhouse behind him in Taoxi, Li Zhengdao also tensed his nerves and nodded: "Okay, but everyone should be careful and don't expose it." ”
The three of them nodded at the same time, and the group of four chased in the direction where Wang Zhong left, squeezed through the crowded crowd, passed through the noisy streets, and the four of them arrived on the main road in and out of Taoxi Town.
The road was straight, and you could see for miles away, and there were still no cars or horses.
"So fast, it's gone?" Wang Banxian blinked.
Li Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said: "No, there are many people here, the carriage is not fast, it is impossible to disappear in such a short time, it should have changed direction and gone to other streets, let's scatter to see if there are other streets?"
The four of them dispersed, and after a while, Sun Xiaoman shouted, "Here." ”
The others surrounded them, only to see that at the end of the street, a carriage was turning, it was the carriage they had sat in before, Wang Zhong's carriage, squeezed through the crowd and chased to the corner of the street, Li Zhengdao asked everyone to pause and go to check it himself.
It was only a short separation, and even Sun Xiaoman couldn't be entangled anymore, so he had to agree.
Li Zhengdao turned the corner, stuck to the street, and under the cover of pedestrians, approached Wang Zhong's carriage, and when he reached a stall of baked cakes, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Boss, bring me a hundred biscuits. Wang Zhong looked left and right, lowered his voice and shouted.
"A hundred, so many?" said the pancake maker's eyes widened.
"It's a long way to go. ”
"I see, wait a minute, I have eighty or ninety here, and the rest will be fine for a while. ”
"Cheng, this is money. Wang Zhong paid the money, and after a moment's wait, the vendor handed him a hundred biscuits in several parts, and put them all in the package.
After looking left and right again, Wang Zhong drove the carriage away and went to another street.
Li Zhengdao returned and beckoned a few people to follow.
Wang Zhong suddenly bought a lot of baked cakes, saying that he was going to go on a long journey, and it seemed that he had become suspicious of us. ”
Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen opened their mouths wide in surprise, "Isn't it, Wang Zhong really has a ghost in his heart?"
"Read on. The corners of Li Zhengdao's mouth turned up, and he smiled proudly, now even if he didn't have Ying Wuxin, he also traced the cat, maybe he could find the truth faster, thinking like this, his heart became more and more excited.
Bypassing the entrance of the street, the four saw that Wang Zhong had driven the carriage into a deserted courtyard, where there was only one entrance and exit, and they could not go over, but could only wait.
A moment later, a man wearing a hooded cloak walked out, his face was hidden under the hood, and his face could not be seen, but the clothes and shoes below had not changed, and Li Zhengdao recognized that it was Wang Zhong.
"Changing his appearance, it must be because he is afraid of being remembered, and he may do something secret. ”
Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen were already engrossed, and it was the first time they were so close to this kind of thing, they were very excited in their hearts, but Wang Banxian looked like a normal person, because of this kind of thing, he had seen a lot.
Wang Zhong came out, mixed in the crowd, went to another street, the four followed, walked in, only to find that this street is obviously less pedestrian, but the sound is very noisy, there is a clanging sound everywhere, and many shops on both sides of the street are blacksmiths.
Wang Zhong walked into a shop, and everyone followed, Wang Zhong walked out again, but this time there was already an extra package on his body, heavy, looking like a chain or something inside.
The four of them were caught off guard and were almost exposed, but they were very good and jumped onto the house with Wang Banxian, so they were not discovered by Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong returned to the courtyard vigilantly, then took off his cloak, drove out in a carriage, and drove towards the exit of Taoxi Town.
"Let's go and ask Wang Zhong what he bought?" Sun Xiaoman said excitedly.
Wang Banxian yawned, "It's useless, since you didn't show up, you just don't want to be known, you must have confessed to the store a long time ago." ”
"I have money. Sun Xiaoman said heroically.
"Well, I didn't say that. Wang Banxian was choked enough.
Sun Xiaoman grinned and went to the blacksmith shop, and came back after a while, excitedly: "Wang Zhong bought a three-meter-long iron chain, I don't know what to do?"
"Chains?" The other three were all confused, why did a coachman buy iron chains, this thing was so expensive, he didn't need it.
"There is also news, this is not the first time Wang Zhong has bought it, it has been many times. ”
Li Zhengdao's face changed drastically, "It's not good, he may be taming beasts or demons in private, once there is an accident, it will inevitably hurt the innocent, we must go to stop it." ”
Eliminating demons and defending the Dao is the duty of a Taoist, and now that they find that there may be demons or fierce beasts, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen naturally readily agreed, and Wang Banxian had nowhere to go if he didn't agree, so he had to go together.
Li Zhengdao puffed up his chest confidently, looked at the exit of Taoxi Town where Wang Zhong disappeared in his car, and smiled with relief, this time he was much ahead of Ying Wuxin.
