Chapter 178: Catch a big fish and put a long line
The city of Logos, in the midst of the king's palace.
Sitting on the railing of the attic of the palace, looking condescendingly at the entire city, he saw pedestrians coming and going, crowded with people, and a peaceful scene, but he could not let him be happy in the slightest.
Beside him, stood a wealthy man who seemed to be much younger than him, with a kind smile on his face.
"Tell Zampu, there is already a golden pill in the worship hall in the middle of the offering tablet that is broken, please instruct. ”
The person who came looked serious, but his voice was not too loud, as if he didn't want to disturb the old man who had worked so hard to overlook the picturesque country he had worked so hard to build.
Hearing this, the abandoned sect did not move, and he didn't even raise his eyelids, and the man on the side waved his hand, and the person who reported it bowed down and turned to leave.
"Zampu, why don't you send someone to investigate?"
Regarding the man's suggestion, Abandon Zong Langzan did not answer immediately, his eyes lingered in the distance for a long time, and then he withdrew and looked at the man next to him, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Wang, send people to do something, just know that they are coming. ”
The one who can be called Uncle Wang by the abandoned sect is naturally from the time when the abandoned sect and the praise of the eleven years old became Zampu, and he has done his best to help his own uncle on the side.
Looking at this abandonment of the sect, who was only in his twenties, just at the age of his prime, but with gray sideburns and an old appearance, Cole sighed in his heart, but his face was non-stop, and continued:
"This time the Nibora Kingdom sent the younger brother of Princess Ruler, Prince Koren, Zampu?"
Hearing this, he gave a rare smile and said:
"Since he is a foreign envoy, he should be accompanied by Uncle Wang!"
Hearing this, Cole nodded, brushed his chest with his right hand, and left softly.
When Cole disappeared outside the attic door, the smile on the face of the abandoned sect rangzan subsided, and he turned to look at the Wanzhang plain across the river, and muttered:
"It's cold in late autumn, it's time to close the net, but this fishing line has to be longer!"
After saying that, the abandoned sect was coughing, his face was flushed, and his breathing was not smooth, and he left this place with the support of the attendants around him.
Besides, Ma Yinglong, compared to Yuan Cheng's indifference, he was much more anxious.
He lived outside the city gate during this time, and naturally knew better than Yuan Cheng the strength of Wu Sizang's attack this time, that is, he had never met a Yuan Ying leading hundreds of monks out of the city gate.
He didn't dare to go to the city, and he didn't want to bother Yuan Cheng, so after hesitating, he still decided to go to a distant place to see.
So he bought a carriage and hired a coachman to drive the horses to the east.
However, less than five miles away, the sound of the sparkling wheels slowly disappeared, and the shaking of the carriage gradually stopped.
"What's going on?"
Ma Yinglong asked suspiciously, but there seemed to be no sound outside.
So, he lifted the curtain next to him and looked out of the small window, which made him frightened.
"Ma Yinglong's shopkeeper is right, we are invited!"
The man who spoke was soft-spoken, and had a warm smile on his lips, but beside him, countless monks surrounded the whole carriage, and as for the coachman, he had already been put to his neck with a knife.
Hearing this, Ma Yinglong's eyes closed, took a deep breath, and said calmly:
"Let him go, he doesn't know anything, so-and-so will come with you. ”
Hearing this, the man's smile became more and more intense, he nodded, his eyes signaled, the coachman was let go, and the man stepped forward to help him straighten out his messy clothes, and said:
"You have the merit of drawing out the thief, you take these taels of silver, and today's matter ......"
"Villain, villain doesn't know anything!"
The coachman was indeed a little frightened, but he was only carrying a person to travel, and when he encountered such a battle, he did not dare to take the silver taels, and the smile of the man also made him deeply uneasy.
Fortunately, the man really didn't mean to make a move, and let the man drive the carriage to turn around and leave, but Ma Yinglong was caught between the three people, and it was difficult to escape.
"Horse shopkeeper, please!"
Ma Yinglong did not refuse, nor did he resist, there were three Jindan early stage in front of him, one Jindan middle stage, and dozens of foundation building, he knew that if he resisted, he chose to obey.
Ma Yinglong's disappearance, Yuan Cheng did not know, and he did not know that the traces of his gang had been exposed, and they were in danger at any time.
However, Xiao Chen and the others did not find Ma Yinglong, who was in charge of the meeting, and faintly found that something was wrong, so they did not rush into the city, so they stayed outside the city.
A night of wind and rain, the city is cold.
Early in the morning, Yuan Cheng got up early, at this time, his body of Lingyuan was already able to circulate around his body, so he was not afraid of the cold, and he was wearing an ordinary thin shirt, which reflected his slender and straight body.
"Brother Yuan Cheng, where are we going to find that person today?"
Poria woke up earlier than Yuan Cheng, and at this time she had already come in early with warm water and goat's milk.
Hearing this, Yuan Cheng, who had finished washing, picked up a large bowl of goat milk and drank it, and then said:
"Since he has a way to find me in Liushen Village, there must be a way to find me here, but for safety, I still plan to go out for a walk, so don't follow!"
Indeed, don't look at Poria who is over a thousand years old, and her cultivation is above the golden pill, but in fact, she has no combat power at all, and he is really not at ease when he goes out with Yuan Cheng.
"Brother Yuan, is this going to abandon Poria to face it alone?"
Seeing the pitiful appearance of Poria weeping, Yuan Cheng felt big, so he pulled Poria to sit down and said seriously:
"Brother didn't dislike Poria cocos, he just felt that he couldn't trust that person at this time, and you also knew that as long as I didn't want to die, there must be a way, but Brother Liu, they didn't know, so at the critical moment, you still have to play an important role. ”
Yuan Cheng never regarded women as a burden, just like the saying he believed: A person who dislikes the people around him and drags him down is a weak person in himself.
But he really couldn't fully trust the man, even if he thought it had something to do with him breaking down and overcoming the demons in his heart at first.
Hearing this, Poria looked at Yuan Cheng carefully for a long time, and found that Yuan Cheng's expression did not seem to be fake, so she nodded reluctantly, but handed Tu Bo into Yuan Cheng's arms.
Speaking of which, since Tubo got used to Poria in his arms, he rarely followed him, and for this Tubo, who has divine power but sleeps every day, Yuan Cheng really doesn't have much hope for the time being.
After appeasing Poria, Yuan Cheng put Tubo in the package, and went out of the door, walking towards the remote place opposite the river.
Half an hour later, Yuan Cheng came to the northwest corner of the city, which was far away from the palace and there were not many people, but a large jungle, which became the wonder of this city.
Walking here, Yuan Cheng just stopped, looked around, and said:
"Come out, come as promised. ”
Quiet, there was no movement, Yuan Cheng looked around, still didn't see any suspicious people, couldn't help frowning, could it be that he was too remote?
"Haha, Xiaoyou is Yuan Cheng, he really has the guts!"
A man walked out of the jungle, a man in his thirties in a simple white robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head, his thick long hair was tied back at will, and his eyebrows and starry eyes were a bit like the elegance of Jiangnan scholars.
Seeing this person, Yuan Cheng already believed a little, but he still wondered:
"That person wasn't you, can you give me an explanation?"
Hearing this, the man smiled slightly, pointed to the side and said:
"It's normal for a little friend to be worried, but unfortunately there is a house in front of you, how about you move?"
This person's cultivation is in the early stage of Yuanying, and in this Luo, even in the Tang Dynasty, it is also a rare existence, but Yuan Cheng was not afraid of Yuanying before, let alone after breaking and standing, so he did not hesitate and followed.
The house in front is an ordinary quadrangle house, with a kind of elegance and simplicity of the Jiangnan people, but as soon as he entered the door, Yuan Cheng's heart was a gift, and his eyes looked around carefully.
This house is not simple!
