Early the next morning, Ding Yu and Zhang Changshun, who didn't know anything about last night, embarked on the road to Arrow Furnace City.

Dajian Furnace City, referred to as Furnace City, is located in Gongga Snow Mountain, Haizi Mountain, and Zheduo Mountain, the three mountains are overlapping and interlaced in the canyon, the terrain is undulating, the east is high and the west is low, and there are many rivers of snow mountain meltwater flowing through the city, watering a large area of forest and pastoral area with abundant water and grass and lush vegetation for the inside and outside of the city.

Furnace City not only has excellent terrain, but also from the Han and Tang dynasties, it is the gateway to Tibet in the Central Plains, and it is also the necessary place for the ancient tea horse road. These two unique conditions have made the furnace city one of the richest cities in Tibet.

In such a crowded city, it is not easy to find someone who wants to hide. Originally, Ding Yu and the others hoped to help find it through the caravan men stationed in Furnace City by the Zhang family. But Zhang Changshun said that the trade routes of millions of commercial houses in Tubo are all taken care of by Zhang Baizhao on weekdays, so most of the caravan guys here are Zhang Baizhao's cronies. Not to mention asking them to help find Zhang Baizhao, I'm afraid they showed up in the caravan in the morning, and Zhang Baizhao already knew their whereabouts at noon.

In addition to the million-dollar trading house, the local Han and Tibetan merchants were also likely to have a close relationship with Zhang Baizhao, so Ding Yu and others could not easily ask the locals. In desperation, the three of them could only do the thing of waiting for the rabbit, and separately guarded the most likely places where Zhang Baizhao was most likely to appear: the market in the west of the city, the station of the million-dollar merchant house in the south of the city, and the Bashu Building, which was the most frequented by Han merchants.

Wu Shuang immediately expressed great enthusiasm for the bazaar, and in order to facilitate the "acquisition of information" at various stalls, she also brought in Zhang Changshun, the only one who could speak Tibetan; Ding Yu had his own plans, so he chose the location of the trading house; and Wu Daoming was the most comfortable, and he could set up the Longmen Array for a whole day in Bashulou, the best Sichuan restaurant in Lucheng.

After separating from the crowd, Ding Yu breathed a sigh of relief. For others, it may not be easy to get Zhang Baizhao's news from the mouth of the business bank, but for him who has the Dafa of Soul Transfer, it is as easy as picking up mustard. It's just that he knows the truth of his guilt, and now his martial arts are still weak, and Wu Daoming's two brothers and sisters have never had a deep friendship, so he doesn't want to expose the fact that he has divine skills, so he has been hiding it.

But now that he has acted alone, there is no need to scruple any more. He first carefully walked around Chengnanzai several times, and found that there were many Central Plains commercial banks stationed here, and the Million Commercial Bank was just one of them.

At this time, it was a busy time, and from time to time there were mule carts and horse-drawn carts shuttling back and forth, and the shopkeepers were instructing the men to load and unload the goods, while holding paper and pens to count the goods. The smell of sweat from the bodies of people and animals, the smell of feces from mules and horses, and all kinds of shouts are mixed together, forming a particularly lively scene.

This is obviously not a good time to kidnap and torture, Ding Yu can only wander around the millions of trading houses like a general coolie looking for work. He had long known that the Buddhism in Tibet was different from the costume of the Central Plains in Dali, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he changed into a civilian costume before coming.

In the Nancheng commercial bank settlement, there are many Tibetans and Han civilians doing work, so Ding Yu did not attract any unnecessary attention, and there was even a temporary shortage of people in the shopkeeper of the commercial house, so Ding Yu went over to carry more than a dozen sacks of Tibetan medicine, in exchange for a meal of oil tea glutinous rice for lunch, plus dozens of copper coins.

Finally, it was late in the evening, and the firms closed their doors one after another, and some of the men of the firms and the civilians of the furnace city went home, and some went to the restaurant and family for dinner, and the station was deserted all of a sudden. Ding Yu has his eyes on a shopkeeper of a million-dollar trading house, and he has been calling the shots during the day, so it is not uncommon for such a middle and high-level person to be Zhang Baizhao's henchman.

He followed the shopkeeper for a while, and finally came to a secluded place, he saw that there was no one around, suddenly quickened his pace to catch up with the shopkeeper, and shouted: "Shopkeeper Li, you can let me find it easily!"

As soon as the shopkeeper Li turned around, he felt a pain in his back and froze in place.

Ding Yu grabbed the shoulder of the shopkeeper Li with his right hand, lifted him a few inches from the ground with one force, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's go and have a drink!" After speaking, he walked towards an abandoned house in the south of the city, and in the dusk, the two looked like a pair of friends walking side by side with their shoulders hooked up.

After more than an hour, it was completely dark. Shopkeeper Li woke up from his sleep and found himself lying in an abandoned empty house. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have bumped into an acquaintance, but he couldn't remember the person's face, only a pair of extremely dark and bright eyes, and he didn't know anything about what happened after that.

Looking at the desolate and empty broken ruins around him, and the shadows in the corners seemed to hide countless ghosts with bad intentions, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and finally after a sudden dog howl, he couldn't help but exclaim, and ran out of the house. Since then, rumors of a haunted mansion have begun to circulate in the furnace city.

At this time, Ding Yu had already returned to the inn where he was staying, and was exchanging today's harvest with Wu Shuang's brothers and sisters.

Not surprisingly, Wu Daoming listened to rumors in the restaurant that it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and Wu Shuang found nothing except a bunch of gold and silver jewelry and bone carvings and horn carvings with local customs on his head, neck, and body. But this is also expected, waiting for the rabbit is not an overnight thing, if Ding Yu didn't have the Dafa of Soul Transfer, I'm afraid that he won't get any useful news today.

After listening to the experience of the two siblings and Zhang Changshun, Ding Yu said: "It seems that I have good luck today and come out on top. I overheard the small talk of two shopkeepers of the Million Dollar Trading Company, and they said that there was a hidden fragrant meat shop in the Han settlement in the south of the city, because the Tibetan people taboo to eat fragrant meat, in order to avoid their taboo, this shop on the surface looks just a dirty and broken small noodle restaurant, not familiar with the doorway, can not be seen at all. ”

Wu Shuangqi said: "Fragrant meat shop?

Ding Yu smiled and said, "Naturally not." I heard one of the shopkeepers say that Zhang Baizhao is very fond of fragrant meat, but whenever he arrives in the furnace city, he must go to the fragrant meat shop every one or two days to eat. What's more, two days ago, he saw a person suspected of Zhang Baizhao coming out of the fragrant meat shop, and he wanted to come forward to say hello, but there were many people at that time, and the figure of that person disappeared all of a sudden. ”

When everyone heard the news, their eyes lit up. Although they felt that Zhang Baizhao was still in the mood to eat fragrant meat when he was killing people and fleeing, which was a bit strange, maybe he relaxed his vigilance when he left the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. If that's the case, it will be even more difficult for them to capture Zhang Baizhao. And this clue gives a place where Zhang Baizhao has appeared recently, which is obviously much more reliable than the place they are squatting now.

Ding Yu continued: "I kept an eye on the fragrant meat shop just now, and I didn't come back until they closed the door, and I didn't see Zhang Baizhao. If what the shopkeeper said is true, it is estimated that he will go again in the next two days, so I will keep an eye on it for the next two days. ”

Wu Daoming thought for a while and said, "If you stare at the fragrant meat shop for two days, I'm afraid it will be a little eye-catching, and it's the same on my side." Why don't I rotate with you, tomorrow you stay in Bashu Building, I will go to the fragrant meat shop, and the day after tomorrow will change. If you meet Zhang Baizhao, don't be in a hurry, find out where he is going to go first, come back and discuss it properly before we shoot together. (To be continued.) )
