Besides, those yacha, riding horses, pressed Nangong Yan all the way, chased out of the town, and when they reached the woods in the south, they only saw horses, no one.

The left horse, pacing on its legs, spewed white air from its nose. It seems that it has just stopped, but the rider is long gone.

The rain fell sloping down densely, and the trees were covered with a thin layer of smoke. Lin Mu silently watched the figures that came and went in the rain, it saw through everything, but it couldn't tell anyone who wanted to know the answer.

The leaves of the trees that have not fallen over the winter are washed and shiny by the rain, and the water is dancing happily in the fluttering spring breeze.

Nothing could be heard in the forest except the sound of rain, and it was quiet, which looked particularly strange.

On rainy days, it's always dark. Although it was just after noon, the sky was so dark that people's vision became blurred.

Zhang Qing reined in the horse and turned around twice in place, and his face couldn't help but darken.

With such a heavy rain, Nangong Yan has no horses, just relying on two legs, where else can he go?

He didn't give birth to a pair of wings, so he couldn't fly. He doesn't have the same light skills as Bai Luoshang, so he still can't fly away. Since you can't fly, you can only run on two legs. However, how could a person like Nangong Yan who was extravagant and particular about running on two legs in the rain?

Since he didn't ride a horse and didn't run on two legs, where did this person go?

A living person will not disappear out of thin air, is it possible, he will also escape the earth?

Of course, Nangong Yan didn't know how to escape, he just jumped off the horse halfway, and took advantage of the opportunity before everyone could catch up, hiding in the woods, waiting for everyone to catch up with the horse with the sound of horses' hooves, he had already unknowingly caught up with the carriage that answered him and ran away.

And this thing, Zhang Qing and his group almost couldn't think of it at all. They were still hovering in place, hoping to find clues there, but the results only made them more disappointed.

Lu Yiping's thick eyebrows furrowed again, and he called out strangely: "What about people, people?"

"Damn!" Zhang Qing grinded his teeth viciously, glared at the snorting horse, spit on it, and his beard with a full chin was almost so angry that he flew up: "This bastard is even faster than a rabbit, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”

Liu Qing, who was following behind, inserted the knife back into the scabbard, looked up and carefully inspected the branches of the trees, and made sure that no one was hiding in it, before he said blankly: "Then what should we do now?"

Thinking of the prince's urgent wanted warrant, everyone's faces became a little depressed.

Although the Black Flag Order was in their hands, they had no way to make the most of it. They could neither mobilize the power of the government nor the forces of the rivers and lakes. In this way, the Black Flag Order in their hands has changed from a status symbol to their own talisman. If they fail to catch someone within the time limit and are condemned to a "crime of dereliction of duty", their fate may not be much better than that of the thief who stole the jade seal.

Zhang Qing also put away the knife, punched the trunk of the tree angrily, and scolded: "What else can I do!" Since Nangong Yan is here, most of the things that the prince is looking for are on him, and this is good, since Bai Luoshang is nowhere to be found, and his person is too cunning, we might as well let it go first and focus on this Nangong Yan." Anyway, as long as you find what the prince lost, it will be a matter of time before Bai Luoshang is caught. ”

Compared with Bai Luosheng, whose whereabouts are erratic, Nangong Yan's whereabouts are easier to control, and it seems to be easier to deal with. His conjecture coincided with the man in black just now, and it seemed that he was bound to win Nangong Yan. Moreover, both of them are working for the same master, and they still have the black flag order in hand, maybe there is a possibility of cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but be interested in that person, maybe he could get acquainted with this person later.

Zhang Qing's words were full of confidence, but others didn't understand them.

Not to mention tracking Nangong Yan, at the moment, they don't even have a clue which direction Nangong Yan is going. How else is this person going to be followed?

The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and Lu Yiping couldn't help but ask, "Then which way should we go now?"

Zhang Qing sneered: "Continue to the south." ”

Lu Yiping suddenly thought of the dangerous place they had talked about earlier, and asked in surprise, "Ju Kingdom, or Southern Xia Kingdom?"

"Ju country. Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the third lady of Tangjiabao in Liangzhou set up a ring to recruit relatives, and the dowry is the family heirloom treasure of Tangjiabao, 'Phoenix Blood Jade'." ”

Lu Yiping's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "Nangong Yan is so obsessed with the collection of stone jade, then this time he will definitely not miss the opportunity." It's just that although this piece of jade is priceless, it is not a treasure after all, and Nangong Yan will personally travel thousands of miles to Liangzhou?"

"Nonsense. Zhang Qing scolded and said, "Who is he Nangong Yan?"

Lu Yiping hurriedly said: "Who is he?"

Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "That's a very greedy person. ”

Lu Yiping still looked at Zhang Qing puzzled, "This greed is not greedy for everything, of course valuable things are greedy, who wants to join in that excitement if they are worthless?"

Zhang Qing stared at the round eyes and scolded: "Stupid, we talked so much during dinner, didn't you even listen to a word?"

Lu Yiping didn't dare to speak, he really didn't listen to anything, except for the words that were said later.

Zhang Qing continued to scold: "You idiot, don't you know how many people in the rivers and lakes want to get this jade pendant now? It's not worth it? Don't think about this with your wooden head." What's more, Nangong Yan has a very greedy temperament, he doesn't care how much silver things are worth, as long as the things are famous in the rivers and lakes, he wants to take them for himself. It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, what matters is how important it is to be seen, and the more many people want to get it, the more he wants to include it in his pocket. ”

Lu Yiping lowered his head when he was scolded, and he didn't dare to raise it again, and his thick black eyebrows wrinkled even more.

Liu Qing couldn't help but wonder at this time: "I heard that the phoenix blood jade is not a rare treasure at all, but it can make so many people worry about it, it's really strange, don't you think it's strange eldest brother?"

Zhang Qing scolded Liu Qing with his head covered his face: "Can there be an heirloom that is worthless? Can it be called a dignified Tangjiabao heirloom that is worthless? Can't you think about it with your own brain first when you speak? So many people are competing to grab it, will it be worthless? Are you blind?"

Liu Qing replied unwillingly: "But everyone said that that piece of jade was an ordinary piece of blood jade, and it was indeed not a rare treasure. A lot of people say that, are they all blind?"

Zhang Qing glared, "Phew, if this thing is a treasure that you can't ask for but work hard to get it, will you tell everyone in the world that this thing is very valuable, and let them come together to get a piece of the pie?"

Having said that, but Zhang Qing also seems to be a little unexplained, there are indeed rumors in the rivers and lakes that the phoenix blood jade is an ordinary jade, which is not high-grade at all, but it inexplicably attracts no one to go to Liangzhou.

For things that can't be figured out, Zhang Qing doesn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, what you hear is better than what you see with your own eyes, and what the truth is, you won't know it if you go to it yourself.

In the end, he had to pat his thigh, and Zhang Qing scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you have to say more, you have to see the truth with your own eyes, how can you believe what you hearsay? If you leave south to go to Liangzhou tomorrow, maybe you can kill two birds with one stone." ”

Lu Yiping didn't understand again, "What do you mean?"

"Nangong Yan is greedy, Bai Luoshang is lustful, one loves jade and gems, the other loves beauty and wine, Phoenix Blood Jade and Miss Tang are the best bait to catch those two people. Zhang Qing snorted, it seemed that it was imperative to catch Nangong Yan and regain the seal of the prince.

After listening to Zhang Qing's words, everyone looked at him with indescribable admiration, to be the head of a group of people, what is needed is not only to have a body that is higher than everyone else, but also to have a brain that is higher than everyone else.

As a result, everyone shouted in unison: "The boss deserves to be the boss!"

Tian Xiushu looked at the proud Zhang Qing and smiled quietly.

"Don't be a sycophant, it's important to get down to business. Zhang Qing took the horse rope and turned the horse's head, "Go back to the inn first, rest here for another night today, and set off for the south tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Yiping was surprised: "Go south?"

Zhang Qing nodded.

Lu Yiping looked at Tian Xiushu and said, "You said that that place is very dangerous. ”

Tian Xiushu said: "Once you break into the tiger's den in Longtan, you will die nine times and live a life." ”

Lu Yiping's eyes widened: "In that case, why do we still have to go south?"

Zhang Qing's face stiffened slightly, he pursed his lips and stared at Lu Yiping for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Idiot, can't we take a detour? ”

Lu Yiping blinked, "Go around the north?"

Liu Qing also looked at Lu Yiping very helplessly, "When we talk, you should listen to it more or less, otherwise you will always ask such stupid questions." ”

Lu Yiping blushed and said, "I've listened to everything you said by now." ”

Bypassing Tonghu Mountain from the north, it is possible to reach Ju Country directly. But it takes more than just a few days to get there.

To the north, there are all towering mountains, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, and the distance is also winding and long, not to mention that you have to walk more than 3,000 miles, and you can't walk at all in a month.

Liu Qing suddenly thought of something, rode his horse to Zhang Qing's side, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, do you think the people who lean on the Flower Pavilion will also do things for the prince?"

Zhang Qing looked at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing smiled slyly and said, "I heard that the news of Yihua Pavilion is all over the country, and there are almost no things on the rivers and lakes that they can't collect, I think, if they are also doing things for the prince, then why don't we cooperate with them......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhang Qing, "Don't be delusional, you and I are not unclear about Yihua Pavilion's style of acting, if you want to cooperate with them, you don't even think about it." ”

Although Yihua Pavilion is full of women, she has the spirit and ability to be inferior to men. Often the higher the ability, the more self-esteem they have, and it is simply wishful thinking to want them to condescend to the power of the imperial court. Even if they cooperate with the imperial court, they are still interested in each other, and they will never work together.

Liu Qing knew that his idea was too whimsical, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it seemed that the Black Flag Order didn't play much of a role for them.
