Chapter 113: The Old Man of Ganzhou (Ask for Collection)
At dusk the next day, Xiao Ziyang pretended to be a white fat businessman and returned to Jin'an City in a carriage again.
This time, Xiao Ziyang planned to find an old man, Wu Tianyou.
When he was in his hometown in Ganzhou five years ago, he let Wu Tianyou go, planning to use this person one day.
As the founder of Xiliang, the Marquis of Zhongxin also has a mansion on the side of Yuma Street, but compared with the Duke of Fuguo and the Duke of Weiguo who opened the palace outside the palace, the status of the Marquis of Zhongxin is undoubtedly much lower, and the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongxin is located in the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City, that is, outside the back gate of the Imperial City.
Xiao Ziyang stayed in an inn called Taifeng Lou not far from the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongxin.
Just after midnight, in a courtyard behind Taifeng Tower, a black shadow flew up into the sky silently, and disappeared into the night after a while.
Xiao Ziyang crouched on the roof of a shop opposite the Loyal Marquis Mansion, and at this time he had already taken off his disguise.
He used the Prospective Qi Technique to look at the Hou Mansion for a moment, but found no trace of the monk, and was relieved. With his martial arts at this time, as long as there are no monks, even the Longtan Tiger's Den dares to break through.
Xiao Ziyang lightly pressed the ridge of the roof, turned into a light smoke, and in a moment, he slid across the street more than ten zhang wide and fell into the backyard of the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion.
He first used ecstasy to control the porter at the back door of the Hou Mansion, inquired about the residence of the chief butler of the loyal Hou Mansion, and then controlled the housekeeper with ecstasy, and easily asked the whereabouts of the fourth son, Zhao Zhibai.
Zhao Zhibai had been transferred back to the capital two years ago, and at this time he had been promoted to the rank of servant of the ministry. As a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court and the son-in-law of the Duke of Fuguo, he has his own mansion and does not live in the Hou Mansion.
Xiao Ziyang asked Zhao Zhibai's mansion, solved the housekeeper's ecstasy, and turned to leave.
Crossing the backyard wall of the Loyal Marquis's Mansion, Xiao Ziyang swept towards the bottom of the mountain at a gallop.
In Jin'an City, the closer you are to the residence of the Imperial Castle on the top of the mountain, the more favored it is by the wealthy and powerful, many of whom take pride in owning a mansion on the streets closest to the Imperial City.
Ordinary people always think that this is because the dignitaries and nobles want to get close to the emperor and be contaminated with extravagance, but after Xiao Ziyang looked at the capital with his spiritual eyes, he found that the aura of this Jin'an City was very strong, several times that of ordinary places!
He also found that the closer to the top of the mountain in Jin'an Mountain City, the stronger the spiritual energy became, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the mountaintop palace was nearly twenty times that of ordinary places! This was already far beyond the level of the lower grade spiritual veins mentioned in the "Preliminary Explanation of the Five Elements Dao Technique".
Reiki is not only extremely important to cultivators, even ordinary people, if they can live in a place with abundant aura, there are indescribable benefits, not only can they prolong their lives, but they can also make people's minds clear.
For those who practice martial arts, especially those who practice internal kung fu, abundant aura can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
It is said that babies born in places with abundant spiritual energy have a much higher chance of possessing spiritual roots.
The mysterious and abnormal immortal cultivation realm for ordinary people is not a secret to those high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is no wonder that these people are so eager to get close to the palace.
Zhao Zhibai is in the fourth rank, and it is not uncommon in Jin'an City, where there are many high-ranking officials and lords, but this person is the son-in-law of the Duke of Fuguo, so he has a small mansion not far from the imperial city.
Sneaking into the Zhao Mansion, Xiao Ziyang repeated his old tricks and inquired about Wu Tianyou's residence from the porter.
Wu Tianyou's status in the Zhao Mansion is not low, the deputy commander of the guards, and has a small courtyard in the side courtyard of the Zhao Mansion.
When he sneaked into Wu Tianyou's small building, Wu Tianyou was meditating and practicing qi in the practice room.
Xiao Ziyang was like a fallen leaf, fluttering into the practice room from the window, and quietly landed in front of Wu Tianyou, who was sitting cross-legged, he didn't realize it, and after waiting for a while, he realized that something was wrong.
Suddenly finding that there was an extra person in front of him, Wu Tianyou jumped up in shock and reached out to grab his waist. But when he saw the face of the person who came, he was stunned for a moment and slowly put his hand down.
Wu Tianyou sighed dejectedly, sat down on the futon again, and said in a low voice: "I know that you will come eventually, I have dreamed countless times that you appeared behind me silently...... Just like today. ”
He smiled bitterly and muttered, "Five years ago, since I read that letter, I knew what happened to me......
Seeing Wu Tianyou as if the end was coming, Xiao Ziyang couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said, "I didn't come to you to ask you to deal with Fuguo Gong. I just wanted you to help me inquire about someone. ”
Wu Tianyou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly perked up a little, and asked, "Inquire about someone, who is it?"
Xiao Ziyang said: "A person named Xiao Zhengyu. ”
"He used to be the deputy commander of Zijinwei in the imperial city, and more than 20 years ago, he was ordered by the emperor to investigate and deal with because he left the army without authorization, and he was beheaded all over the house because he resisted arrest. The other person is named Song Nancheng, who used to be Xiao Zhengyu's subordinate, and it is very likely that he is still serving in the Zijin Guard at this time. ...... Also, Song Nancheng may be a fake name ....... ”
"As long as you help me find these two people, I will never come to you again. ”
Wu Tianyou was overjoyed when he heard this, his excited voice trembled a little, and he asked without a preface: "Really......! You...... Don't lie to me, that ...... That...... Auxiliary Prince...... That letter ......"
Xiao Ziyang shook his head and said, "Fu Guogong is not something I can deal with...... Even though I'm a ...... now," he said, and as soon as he flipped his hand, a small sword about two inches long and glowing crimson suddenly appeared in front of him, swimming from side to side like a fish, "Even if I have become a monk, I am far from being the opponent of the Auxiliary Prince. ”
Looking at the flying sword in front of Xiao Ziyang, Wu Tianyou was shocked and stunned, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he spit out two words with great difficulty: "Immortal Master!" Some thoughts in his heart suddenly went out.
Wu Tianyou nodded dejectedly and said, "If you want to be an immortal master, you won't deceive me as a mortal." I'll help you get these two people into the clear. ”
"How long will it take?"
"Three days. ”
"No, three days is too long, I'll come back to you tomorrow night, and tell me as much as you want. ”
Xiao Ziyang sneaked away from the Zhao Mansion and did not leave immediately. He lurked on a roof not far from the Zhao Mansion, observing the movements of the Zhao Mansion until the early hours of the morning, and only left in the darkness before dawn.
Back at the inn, Xiao Ziyang changed into a disguise, settled the bill, and sat down in the teahouse not far from Zhao's mansion, and continued to observe Zhao's movements.
At midnight that day, Xiao Ziyang took off his disguise again, and used the Zhan Qi technique to carefully observe the Zhao Mansion and the surroundings for a long time, and after making sure that there were no monks lurking, he urged the invisible escape method and cautiously infiltrated the Zhao Mansion.
On the roof of the small building where Wu Tianyou lived, he probed for a long time with his divine thoughts before sneaking into the building.
Wu Tianyou was still sitting cross-legged in the practice room, but he didn't practice today, and he looked out the window with an anxious expression.
