CHAPTER XXIII

Jiangzhen is an ordinary town in Jiangling, and it is not very far from Ye Xiaoer's village. When he was a child, Ye Xiaoer had come to Jiangzhen with Ye Xun several times, and he still had some impressions of the route.

On the way, Ye Xiaoer did not use light power to hurry, for two reasons. First, Ye Xiaoer didn't dare to spend too much internal strength. Second, it would take two hours to walk from the village to Jiangzhen, and Ye Xiaoer's plan was to sneak into the Wu Mansion at night. In this way, the time is not very tight, and there is no need to rush lightly.

Before you know it, the sun rises to the center of the sky, and the heat sweeps over the pedestrians on the ground.

Ye Xiaoer wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the city wall not far in front of him, and Ye Xiaoer exhaled.

Glancing up at the sun, Ye Xiaoer raised his legs and walked towards Jiang Zhen.

The city wall of Jiangzhen is about three zhang high, the bottom of the city wall is five zhang thick, and the top is four zhang thick.

Looking up at the heavy city wall in front of him, Ye Xiaoer couldn't help but sigh. It is said that the walls of the county and state towns are higher and thicker than those of the town towns. I don't know how majestic it is.

Shaking his head, Ye Xiaoer walked into the city.

Not long after entering the city, Ye Xiaoer's stomach screamed. This morning, Ye Xiaoer was in a hurry, and he didn't even eat breakfast, so it's strange if he wasn't hungry.

Ye Xiaoer's gaze swept around, and he found a noodle stall in the shade of a tree on the side.

Touching the scattered silver coins in his arms, Ye Xiaoer said secretly, "Fortunately, I brought some silver coins with me when I left, otherwise it would be a problem to even eat." ”

Ye Xiaoer walked to the noodle stall and beckoned to the noodle stall owner, "Boss, come with two bowls of Yangchun noodles." ”

The owner of the noodle stall was an old man in his sixties, not tall and slightly fat. A pair of small eyes blinked.

"Okay!" the boss replied.

Ye Xiaoer nodded, found a seat by himself, sat down and waited.

Not long after, two bowls of Yangchun noodles were brought over by the boss. Ye Xiaoer's nose twitched slightly, and the fragrance of this Yangchun noodle couldn't help but make his index finger move.

didn't ink, Ye Xiaoer directly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and ate it.

Thinking about it, Ye Xiaoer was also hungry, and the two bowls of Yangchun noodles were wiped out by Ye Xiaoer in a short time.

Smacking his lips, Ye Xiaoer stood up unsatisfied, "Boss, settle the bill." ”

The old man walked over with a smile on his face, "Chenghui Shiwen." ”

Ye Xiaoer nodded, took out ten copper coins from his arms and handed them to the old man.

While paying, Ye Xiaoer asked casually, "Uncle, I don't know if there is an inn around here?"

"Yes, yes. The old man nodded again and again, "Little brother, you walk about a hundred steps east from here, and then turn north, and you will see an inn." ”

Ye Xiaoer arched his hand and said, "Thank you, uncle." Then he set off for the inn that the stall owner had mentioned.

According to the route said by the noodle stall owner, Ye Xiaoer came to an inn called "Yunlai".

"Yunlai Inn...... Presumably that's what the old man said. Ye Xiaoer looked at the Yunlai Inn in front of him and muttered to himself.

As soon as he entered the inn, a rough voice attracted Ye Xiaoer's attention.

I saw a shirtless horse-faced man stepping on a stool, talking to his companions on the side.

Ye Xiaoer listened to their conversation quietly, and at the same time opened an ordinary guest room for himself.

I only heard the horse-faced man say in a loud voice, "I said, don't believe it, there is definitely a treasure in that poisonous swamp forest!"

A thin man beside him snorted disdainfully, "Baby, if there is really a baby, can you Hu Sanzi go home empty-handed?"

The horse-faced man known as Hu Sanzi explained: "You don't want to get some treasures when you are Lao Tzu, but that place is too evil, and Lao Tzu is afraid that if you don't get the baby, you will lose your life." ”

"What kind of evil method?" asked another man.

"Hehe, I'll tell you. Hu Sanzi became interested, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "That day, I went to the poisonous swamp forest to think about catching some pheasants and hares. Who knew that I actually met Wu Bin and Master Wu's nursing home. ”

Ye Xiaoer's expression moved, and he asked the store for a jar of rice wine and a bag of beef, and walked to Hu Sanzi and their table with things in his arms.

Hu Sanzi just wanted to continue, but suddenly saw Ye Xiaoer walking towards them with wine and meat, and he asked suspiciously, "What are you kid doing?"

At this time, the others also saw Ye Xiaoer and looked at him curiously.

Ye Xiaoer showed a smile that he thought was honest, and said, "The younger brother's surname is Zhang Mingjun, and he first came to Jiangzhen and wanted to find a martial artist to learn martial arts. Today, I was a little curious when I heard what Brother Hu said about the poisonous swamp forest, so I came to pay a visit. After speaking, Ye Xiaoer put the wine and meat on everyone's table.

"Hey, hey, that's easy to say. Hu Sanzi already loves to drink, and Ye Xiaoer hugged a jar of rice wine to make him happy.

The people on the side also beckoned Ye Xiaoer to take a seat. Ye Xiaoer laughed and found a seat to sit down.

"Then I'll move on. Hu Sanzi took a sip of rice wine and said with a comfortable face.

"Lao Hu was also surprised when he saw the nursing home, and thought, 'Could it be that this old man Wu Bin wants to eat some game?' Then just go to the butcher shop and buy it, what is the nursing home doing in the poisonous swamp forest.' ’。 I was also curious, so I followed the nursing home to see what he was going to do. It doesn't matter, it really made me discover an amazing treasure. ”

"I followed the courtyard to a swamp, and I saw that the courtyard was busy working on a large bluestone for a while, and a stone gate actually emerged from the swamp!"

Hu Sanzi eased up, as if he remembered something terrifying, and said with a frightened face, "Then ...... One, a huge black shadow with a tail quickly stretched out from the stone gate, pulling the courtyard into the stone gate. Then Shimen sank into the swamp again......" After speaking, Hu Sanzi drank several sips of rice wine to suppress his shock.

Everyone on the side was also shocked, and the thin man before said, "Hu Sanzi, aren't you lying to a few brothers?" What's the treasure there?"

Hu Sanzi said, "What are you lying about? When your stone door was opened, I saw a golden light inside, which was emitted by countless golds. ”

"It's amazing. The crowd was amazed.

Ye Xiaoer lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what kind of connection there was between the mysterious stone gate of the poisonous swamp forest and the fire iron wooden box that Wu Bin asked to build.

Hu Sanzi took a few more sips of wine, and he continued, "Listen to one of my brothers who is in a gang, this treasure of the poisonous swamp forest has aroused the ideas of many Jianghu forces in Jingzhou. It seems that it won't be long before this Jiangzhen will be lively. ”

"When those gangs and sects eat meat, we can also take the opportunity to drink a mouthful of soup. ”

Hu Sanzi's words were unanimously agreed by everyone, and Ye Xiaoer couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. After nearly a month of Qingyunzi's "words and deeds", he knew that the vast majority of Jianghu sects paid great attention to interests, and it was already very good for a ruffian hooligan like Hu Sanzi who could only do three-legged cat kung fu to survive in the sect battle, and he even wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune......

Shaking his head, Ye Xiaoer withdrew from this circle without attracting the attention of others.

Returning to the room he had set before, Ye Xiaoer sat cross-legged on the bed.

There were still a few hours before the dark sky, and Ye Xiaoer decided to prepare for the operation to rescue Ye Xun at night.

However, Ye Xiaoer was still a little apprehensive in his heart. After listening to Qingyunzi talk about the rivers and lakes in Qingyunguan for so many days, he also had a rough guess about Ye Xun's strength.

He was sure that Ye Xun's strength had reached at least a second-rate realm, and he was even likely to be a first-class martial artist.

And Wu Bin can threaten Ye Xun, and he must at least have second-rate martial arts by his side. Of course, it is not ruled out that Ye Xun was drugged and put down.

"I hope Daddy is safe and sound......"

......

The sun gradually set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Ye Xiaoer's face through the window.

When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of light in Ye Xiaoer's eyes.

"Whew...... The internal forces seem to be somewhat refined. Ye Xiaoer said to himself.

Glancing at the sky outside the window, Ye Xiaoer's hands clenched involuntarily.

Suddenly, Ye Xiaoer seemed to remember something. He slapped his head sharply, as if annoyed.

"Damn, I don't even know the distribution in the Wu Mansion, how can I save people?" Ye Xiaoer said in annoyance.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded: "Do you finally remember?" ”

This voice is Mingyue.

Ye Xiaoer turned his head and found that the window of the room was opened without knowing when, and Mingyue was smiling at him on the window frame.

At this time, Mingyue was dressed in a black and white suit, and her long hair was combed into a ponytail and tied behind her head. It's heroic.

"Why are you here?" Ye Xiaoer asked in surprise.

"If I don't come, how will you save Uncle Ye?" Mingyue asked rhetorically.

Ye Xiaoer laughed dryly, and then said, "So you know the distribution of Wu Mansion in the next month?"

Mingyue jumped lightly from the window frame and stood on the ground, "After you leave in the morning, I will also go to Jiangzhen immediately." When I arrived in Jiangzhen, I inquired and found that today happened to be the day of Wufu's procurement. ”

So, I disguised myself as a vegetable maid and sneaked into the Wu Mansion. After an afternoon of exploration, I have investigated the distribution pattern inside the Wu Mansion clearly. ”

"Well, here's the map I made. Mingyue took out a map from her arms and handed it to Ye Xiaoer.

Ye Xiaoer thanked him, and then unfolded the map on the table. Looking at the map carefully, Ye Xiaoer kept it firmly in mind.

At this time, Mingyue said, "I also took a general look at the strength of the Wu Mansion's nursing home. It was found that except for a few people who were not into the stream, everyone else was just a crop. Mingyue said.

Ye Xiaoer frowned, and said with some disbelief, "Don't enter the stream...... Can they be a threat to my father?"

Mingyue shook her head and said, "At least that's how strong the Wu Mansion is. ”

Ye Xiaoer snorted, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If my father is locked up by them, where do you think they will keep my father?"

Mingyue seriously recalled for a moment and said, "I think the most likely place is here. ”

After speaking, Mingyue pointed to a house on the map and said, "During the day, there are three non-entry martial artists guarding here. It seems that there is some important person or something in it. ”

Ye Xiaoer nodded, and carefully noted down the location of the room that Mingyue was pointing to.
