Chapter 44: The Scoop

White Cliff's intuition is not out of nowhere, but well-founded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hanzhong is adjacent to Jingzhou in the east and Sizhou in the north, with both Hanshui shipping and land plank roads. In the Shu Road that connects with other states, it is considered to have developed transportation. If Baiyunguan couldn't monitor Zong Shen, a traitor, at all times, then it would be difficult to guess his choice.

However, Zong Shen may still not go abroad in Hanzhong.

Because the traffic in Hanzhong is developed, it is still a narrow Shu road. Whether you go to Jingzhou or Sizhou, all the customs clearance plank roads and water transport routes will not be more than one hand.

Zong Shen played hide and seek with the pursuers all the way, and although he succeeded in confusing them and came to the last step, he also left a lot of time for Baiyunguan.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, Baiyun Temple has been somewhat weakened, but it is still a long-standing and profound Xianwu faction, and there are a large number of Qiyi martial disciples from Baiyun Temple among the people of Shu.

As long as Baiyunguan was given time, it could definitely summon hundreds of martial artists who were blooming and scattering in the world to assist him, and this number of men was enough to block all the plank roads and waterways from Hanzhong to Jingsi and the two states.

Badong County is different, there is almost no land route to Jingzhou, and there is only one water route in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

It may sound like it's better to monitor here, but in fact, because there is no land transportation, the flow of boats on this stretch of the Yangtze River is almost as large as that of all the waterways in Hanzhong combined.

Here the river surface thousands of sails actually flow, prosperous abnormal, and the waterway flow is rapid, the boat is like flying, just in response to the poet immortal Li Bai's sentence "the ape on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains".

Even if Baiyunguan has the ability to level the water transportation yamen in Badong County and let them board civilian boats to search for Zongshen, I am afraid they will not be able to intercept a few boats.

Further, even if Zongshen's whereabouts were discovered, the environment here would be more favorable to the fleeing party.

Both sides of the Three Gorges are thousands of cliffs, the terrain is rugged and bumpy, full of precipices and steep mountains, full of forests. As long as Zong Shen hides inside, not to mention hundreds of people, it is ten times more, and he doesn't want to find him without any special means.

Of course, Bai Ya's thoughts are just speculations, Zong Shen doesn't necessarily think so, and going to Hanzhong also has the advantage of going to Hanzhong.

However, guessing is speculation, he doesn't have a doppelganger technique, and if he goes to Hanzhong alone, he will definitely not be able to see the relevant passes, so he can only choose Badong to try his luck.

Linked to the word luck, Bai Ya suddenly remembered a person, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart welled up with a thick surprise.

He remembered the process of getting Xu Xianling, at that time, he had just finished dealing with the blind date of the Qu family in Fuling, and then he met a group of green forest warriors who chased and killed the winner of Xu Xianling.

In the end, he rescued the man, got the Xu Immortal Order, and then obtained all the relics of Wan Qing, the innate martial artist of the Panshan Sect.

Bai Ya remembered that the night fox Hu Sanniang had mentioned to him that the three-eyed Pixiu Meng Fang, the winner of the Xu Xian Order, was the green forest scoop in Badong County.

After Meng Fang gave Xu Xianling to him, he only asked Bai Ya to give him a secret pill of Wanqing Cave Mansion, the Red Cherry Pill, to treat his only son's illness.

Bai Ya did not break his promise afterwards, and during the sword discussion in Huashan, he also asked Liu Yu to send someone to send the red cherry pill to the Meng Fang in Badong County.

Although the two of them have not owed each other since then, and their grievances have been cleared, if Bai Ya asks him to help find someone now, it is estimated that Meng Fang will be happy to give him a personal favor.

Since the three-eyed Pixiu is known as the green forest scoop of Padang County, it can be regarded as the head snake of the land snake. He may not have the strength of hundreds of Qi Martial Artists at hand, but there are definitely a lot of ordinary subordinates.

As long as you are willing to spend money, it is estimated that it is no problem to hire thousands of people in Patong.

Hundreds of warriors may not be able to find Zong Shen in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but if this number becomes five figures, then they will definitely not miss a big living person.

Even if Zong Shen changed his appearance, it was useless, and the identity of the foreigner and where he came from could not hide from the locals. And Meng Fang and his gang of local snakes are experts in finding out the news, and they are not as effective as the intelligence spies in Qingcheng in the border of Badong.

As long as Zong Shen went to the Three Gorges Waterway in Badong, and the three-eyed Pixiu was willing to help him sincerely, Bai Ya estimated that it would not take a few days for him to inquire about this person's true whereabouts.

Ordinary sect martial artists rarely ask the green forest martial artists for help, some people can't think of it, and some people can't pull their faces. But Bai Ya is different, he has never been afraid of means, and he has done too many faceless things, of course he will not let Meng Fang, a relational household, not use it.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't hesitate, found a nearby inn to ask for pen and ink, and wrote an eagle letter to send back to Qingcheng Mountain.

Qingcheng's teleportation system was fast, and he believed that by the time he teleported to Padang County in a few days, the Three-Eyed Pixiu might have already gained some eyebrows.

With a solution to the matter, Bai Ya immediately put down his worries and continued to rush to Padang while calmly waiting for Meng Fang's reply.

At noon on the third day after he sent the letter back to Qingcheng, Meng Fang really sent a response through the eagle letter.

Before he could finish reading all the contents of the Eagle Letter, Bai Ya smiled, and the Three-Eyed Pixiu agreed to help as expected. Come to think of it, which green forest character would refuse to help a promising Qingcheng Tianjiao.

Many times, such a favor can be life-saving.

In normal times, Meng Fang couldn't even ask for it, so how could he stupidly push it off now.

The three-eyed Pixiu swore in the letter, and almost patted his chest and swore an oath.

He mobilized all his personal connections throughout Padang County, pulling in the Green Forest Gangs in various districts, and dispatching rangers and ruffians in every town. As long as Zong Shen appears in Badong, he guarantees that Bai Ya just wants the other party to be a compliment.

Bai Ya couldn't laugh or cry, but he had a little more confidence in his heart.

After thinking about it, he replied to a letter, instructing Meng Fang to be too late, not to startle the snake, and wait for him to come. He was afraid that if Zong Shen became vigilant and changed his route again, everything would be in vain.

Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and it depends on whether Zong Shen will come to Padang County.

Another day and a half later, White Cliff finally teleported into the county town of Padang.

After paying the gate fee at the city gate, he noticed a few idlers squatting near the place, who clearly looked like hooligans and scoundrels. Although these people were just holding their hands and squatting there to gossip, their eyes kept wandering over the strangers entering and leaving the city gates.

Bai Ya's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he took Bai Tong around the city and found a very inconspicuous inn to live in.

Meng Fang had a large mansion in the county town of Padang, and he had been invited in the letter.

Bai Ya really planned to stay with him and wait for Zong Shen to appear.

However, when he saw those ruffians at the gate of the city, he suddenly had an idea, wanting to see if the three-eyed Pixiu was really as he said, no matter how small the local affairs were, he could find out in a very short time.

"Hehe, I didn't change my appearance, I didn't modify, if I got under your nose and you didn't notice, then I have to consider whether I went to the ferry of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to try my luck. ”

Bai Ya asked the innkeeper to serve a pot of fragrant tea, sent Bai Tong to the next room, and sat in the room and drank tea leisurely.

"Aggressive~"

Meng Fang didn't disappoint Bai Ya, the tea on his side hadn't cooled down yet, and there was already a knock outside the door.

"Haha, Brother Jiang Xian, you came to Badong City, why don't you notify me first, but let my brother find it easily!"

As soon as Bai Ya opened the door, he saw a burly and powerful old man pounce on him and give him a bear hug. Fortunately, Bai Ya reacted quickly and recalled Meng Fang's appearance, otherwise he would have almost given him a slap.

"Hehe, I still hope that my brother will forgive my sins, and my younger brother has just settled down and is about to visit the mansion!" Bai Ya grinned and patted Meng Fang's thick shoulder.

"The visit is fake, test your brother and I have some ability, it's true, right? Hehe, now I'm satisfied, let's go, eat and drink!"

The Meng Fang people are old and sophisticated, of course they know the intention of the temporary guest house in Baiya, so they unceremoniously broke it and dragged Baiya towards the outside of the inn.

The three-eyed Pixiu called him Brother Jiang Xian, but the two agreed in advance, because they had to deal with a traitor to the sect, and the force was a high-level artistic conception, so Meng Fang did not tell others the real inside story, but only announced to the outside world that he was going to arrest a foreigner.

A green forest boss like Three-Eyed Pixiu, who can control an underground gang in a county, is generally black and white, and knows what to do and what not to do.

As long as they don't look for death to provoke the Xianwu Sect, they are still very popular in the world, and even sometimes the local government and the six doors will ask them for help. For example, the White Cliff pursued Zong Shen, Meng Fang had already done it many times for the Six Gates, and the people below would not doubt it at all.

Besides, there are many benefits to this kind of thing, Meng Fang can leave favors everywhere, and his subordinates can get rewards from the government, and they don't have to eat green forest rice once a month.

When he arrived at Meng's mansion, Bai Ya found that Meng Fang had really prepared a sumptuous banquet for him, and there was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes to accompany him during the banquet, which was Meng Fang's only son, Meng Qiao.

Meng Qiao looks handsome, but his physique is not very good, and he has just recovered from a serious illness in the past few years. He came to thank Bai Ya, if it weren't for Bai Ya Shou Promise to send the Red Cherry Blossom Pill, his illness would not be so easy to heal.

"Is Brother Meng's body okay, may he practice martial arts in the future?" Bai Ya asked with concern, and after thinking about it, he gave him a dendrobium golden pill, "This pill is made of dendrobium nobile, which can effectively regulate the body, so give it to Brother Meng as a gift!"

"Thank you Bai Shaoxia!" Meng Qiao smiled happily and said, "I can't practice martial arts in this body, I just want to live for two more years and leave one or two children and grandchildren for my father to inherit the Meng family......"

He said it sincerely, but it made the banquet a little cold.

"By the way, has there been any news of that incident?"
