Chapter 6: The Thief's Heart Never Dies

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

The old man was not only not afraid of the officers and soldiers and the officials catching his head, but also made a lot of noise, and suddenly there was a mess in the first thirty or so steps of Zhang Xian's carriage.

Zhang Xian frowned, and suddenly turned around to warn the three girls in the car.

"Cheer up, our whereabouts are exposed. ”

Zhang Xian couldn't understand who exposed their whereabouts, Qu Ying was impossible, and Zhang Xian didn't suspect him, so who was it?

They came out this time, but no one greeted them, and even Uncle Tai didn't know.

In fact, how did Zhang Xian know that when they entered the teahouse, it was the moment when the veil of Man Ling'er was blown up by the wind, and someone captured the jade face of Man Ling'er.

This person, name: Zhang Jiyuan.

is also a side line of the Zhang family, and he is close to Zhang Duo's bloodline, but he is not in the Xia Kingdom, he is in Jianye City, and he brought people to support Zhang Duo, but he came a step late for some reason.

He met Wei Yu who had slipped through the net at the Luoyan Gorge Fortress.

So how did he know the brute spirit?

Of course, there is no camera on the Xianyue Continent, but the technique of copying portraits is very popular, and there is that senior painter, as long as you roughly describe a person's physiognomy and characteristics, he will depict the person's physiognomy as you say.

Wei Yu found a senior painter, and through his description, the painter drew up the portraits of King Xia and several other concubines he had seen.

Zhang Jiyuan is not only a high cultivator, but also very stable and smart, he learned that his uncle Zhang Duo and others were captured by King Xia and put on death row, and it was impossible to rob the prison, but he couldn't watch them beheaded, so he came up with a plan;

That is to find a way to take the people closest to Zhang Xian in exchange for Zhang Duo and others.

Although the strategy is good, the person Zhang Xian cares about the most is not so easy to catch.

Important ministers like Li Wenhui, Chen Gongwei, Wang Yan, etc., all have masters secretly protecting them, and they are difficult to see, and they can't afford to provoke the people Zhang Xian cares about in the army, and the weight of low-level officials is not enough.

So there was a way, but there was nowhere to start, and Zhang Jiyuan, who was depressed, squatted in the teahouse and drank stuffy tea to find a way.

It was really an endless road, and so inadvertently, he saw Princess Xia Barbarian Ling'er.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that there were only two palace maids accompanying Princess Xia.

Zhang Jiyuan completely ignored Zhang Xian, who pretended to be a coachman, and also regarded Yanru and Xu Man as palace maids serving Princess Xia.

He had a hard night.

thought of several plans to hold Princess Xia hostage and start in the teahouse, but after understanding that he gave up, because the background of the owner of the teahouse is not to mention, there is also a rune array here, and the owner of the teahouse himself has a very high cultivation, maybe there are masters behind him.

The trickiest thing is the way out.

This is the territory of King Xia, there is an army in the fortress, not to mention that there is a civil and military academy, once it is alarmed, a large number of masters come, it is difficult for them to escape.

If you succeed, it's good to say, there are hostages in hand, and if you fail, you will be served in a pot.

racked his brains before he finally came up with a plan;

The most prosperous business of the Xia Kingdom is not Shangjing, Shangjing should be regarded as the transit station of various trading houses, the caravans from the northwest, southeast and other places, when they arrive in Shangjing, they will reach their destination, unload the goods, and then load the goods on the Xia side, and return the same way.

And the most prosperous places in the Xia Kingdom should belong to Donglu City and Luoyanxia Fortress, and even Basu City is also very popular.

Therefore, the caravans in and out of the Luoyan Gorge fortress city, Merchants and so on endlessly, some hawkers get up early to the city of the merchant house to buy, and then to the city outside the open-air retail market, such a benefit because the scatter does not collect taxes, but also in and out of the fortress of the main road, back and forth merchants in order not to delay the road, by the way in the scatter to collect some fancy goods, so the scatter is also very prosperous, the hawkers can make some difference from it, although not as good as the big merchants, but the money earned in a day, is enough for the family to eat and drink more than the degree, although this kind of small fight is not favored by the business, but do not have to eat hard and frightened to walk the world, the city and outside the city can make money is not bad。

Therefore, the only exit from the east gate of Luoyan Gorge is very congested, especially in the morning and evening.

Zhang Jiyuan's strategy was to take advantage of the crowds in the morning to create chaos and plunder people.

But those who create chaos can't use their own people, so they have to spend money to hire people, and in the end they are caught by officers and soldiers and government officials, and they can't find their heads.

As for the reason for creating chaos, give him money to find trouble with the enemy, of course, the reason can be made up with his eyes closed.

As soon as there was a commotion, Zhang Jiyuan led people to slowly approach Barbarian Ling'er's car.

Wei Yu naturally didn't dare to show up, but he also had a very important task, that is, to answer, cover, and transfer.

Just like a thief, stealing a wallet and transferring it out quickly, even if you catch him and can't find the wallet on him, what can you do.

Zhang Jiyuan is this strategy, he is in charge of plundering people, many people follow him, and after plundering people, they quickly turn their hands and pass downward, while they take the opportunity to create chaos to block possible rescuers, or the nearest officers and soldiers to participate.

Even if there is really a master, the people have been transferred, they will not admit it, and the officials will not be able to take them, and Xia Guo also has a shortcoming, that is, in order not to cause a very bad impact, the first thing is to protect the businessman from harm, and he cannot wronged innocent people without evidence.

This trick is indeed simple and clever.

If it succeeds, Zhang Jiyuan will become famous in one fell swoop, although he can't steal Zhang Xian's throne, but there is still great hope for coercing hostages to exchange Zhang Duo and other main figures.

Don't look at Zhang Duo's lineage as a side branch of the Zhang family in Jianye City, his status in Jianye City may not be so noble, but he still has prestige and fame on the Xianyue Continent, and he has to be a guest of honor in any vassal state.

As long as Zhang Duo is rescued and leaves the territory of Xia Kingdom, he will be a master wherever he goes.

Of course, the premise is that there is such a prestigious person as Zhang Duo, a person who has the right to speak at home, and a person who can mobilize family resources.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Jiyuan go to great lengths to save Zhang Duo.

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Zhang Jiyuan missed a little bit even if he did everything he knew, that is, Barbarian Ling'er was not only the little princess, but also the terrifying little princess of the Netherworld Sect.

How can such a person travel without the protection of a master.

Just when Zhang Jiyuan opened the curtain of the car and reached out to grab someone, he was not only attacked by the people in the car, but almost made his blood splash on the spot.

He only felt a tingling pain in his ribs, and then he couldn't move.

And his entourage didn't know what had changed, and they came over from all sides to help rob people, it stands to reason that no matter how powerful Zhang Xian is, it is impossible to resist more than a dozen masters in an instant, there are still many ordinary people around, and they can't let go, and they don't care about hurting the innocent.

But Zhang Xian didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't mean to make another move.

Because he saw the people who were secretly protecting the barbarian spirit in the crowd, the fifth and eighteenth of the Netherworld Sect.

These two don't look at the cultivation is not very high, but the ability is super strong, during this time in Zhang Xian got a lot of benefits, and learned a little acupoint, so they can be regarded as a practical use this time, after all, Zhang Xian explained, unless you have to do it, you can't kill, although this acupoint skill can also kill, but as long as you don't want to kill, then you can't kill.

So in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people stared at each other inexplicably.

And what about the rest of the people and Wei Yu?

Although Zhang Xianxing knows very few people, he can't hide it from the people of the Red Evil Pavilion, this is not the Red Evil People spying on Zhang Xian, but secretly escorting him.

This time, the person in charge of the secret escort is a middle-aged man nicknamed Owl.

The evil people are not as ostentatious as the fifth and eighteenth, they are like bats hiding in the shadows.

The silent hunt does not stir up a ripple.

The most vicious is the owl, he did not take action to catch Wei Yu, but followed Wei Yu who found that he had escaped in defeat.

As a result, he caught a nest of traitors.

Wei Yu was too cautious, he didn't bring out his own people and those who defected to him after Zhang Duo's defeat, and left them in a pawnshop inside the east gate, which was opened by his nephew, and of course he funded it.

Become his foothold.

As a result, they lost all the games by accident.

It was stewed by an owl with a spoonful.

At this point, Zhang Duo's conspiracy case is over.

Zhang Jiyuan, these people Zhang Xian did not hand them over to the government this time, but directly let the red evil people take them away, the red evil is the only institution in the Xia State that can bypass the constitution, and now Zhang Jiyuan has some of them.

When you get there, you don't die, and you can peel off the skin.

Zhang Xian did not deal with it because of resentment, but because he wanted the red evil to continue to dig deeper, and the Zhang Duo incident showed that the whole country would know about it soon and even soon after the Xianyue Continent, but few people in Zhang Jiyuan knew that he was arrested.

In fact, Zhang Xian didn't know that Zhang Jiyuan was a member of the Zhang family.

He got a secret message from the Red Evil Officer, saying that he had found Wei Yu who had slipped through the net, so he changed his mind.

When they arrived at the Wenwu Academy, it was already noon, and the dean had already received the letter, but Zhang Xian greeted him in advance and did not allow publicity, that is, he did not let the students know that he was coming, so the two deans, Wuhou and Miao Kun, arranged for someone to take them to the westernmost training ground.

There are several stone buildings there, which are the dormitories of the faculty, and the three-story building in the middle is the office and residence of the two deans, and it is also the temporary residence of the old white wolf king.

The old White Wolf King is already the volunteer head of the Wenwu Academy and the protector of the Tao.

This is Wuhou's strategy, behind the building is the sinkhole, the old white wolf king has been studying and cracking the underground labyrinth below for a long time, and now it is said that he has eyebrows.

Wuhou's idea is to let the old white wolf king protect those students to go to the labyrinth to practice, it is said that it is very dangerous there, there is no big master to protect, there must be a student loss, but if you invite a master like the old white wolf king, I am afraid that I can't invite you to pay any amount of money, even if you can invite it, you don't have to worry, once the person invited is greedy, but no one can help him.

But the old White Wolf King was different.

So Wuhou and Miao Kun began to wear high hats for him、、、、
