Chapter 265 Forming a Team

It was not long before the third watch, and there were nearly two more watches before the third watch. Staying nearby for a long time would easily attract the attention of others, so you had to go elsewhere first and stay late at night before coming back.

When Wu Di was rescued last time, many mid-level and low-level warriors from the Niu tribe participated in the roundup. It is not ruled out that there are warriors in the city who know him. We must try to avoid direct contact with the warriors, but there is no need. He was so sneaky that even if he was discovered by someone, he could be presumed to be looking for Jiang Nan.

Lianshan City is very big, and there are more than one wine shop in the city. Only the appearance of unfamiliar faces in wine shops and inns will not arouse suspicion. He had already had dinner before, but he could still eat a little more, so he went to another wine shop.

Since coming back from modern times, he has developed a habit of eating as much food as possible, because there is no telling when the next meal will be. Being hungry and full after being hungry is the most realistic reflection of his return in the past six months.

People at this time had little nightlife, entertainment and entertainment. It was very comfortable to have two drinks after a busy day, so there were not only foreign vendors but also locals in the wine shop.

Wu Zhongyuan most hopes to hear news about Jiang Nan, but his luck has not always been so good. Whatever he wants to know, people happen to be talking about. Most of the outside vendors talk about things related to Yibao, as long as it is news , it was useful to him. Through the conversations with the traders, he discovered a problem, that is, although Lianshan City was open to foreign trade, it levied heavy taxes on outside traders, which was similar to market management fees. To put it bluntly, it was a protection fee. They complained.

Everyone's talk reminded him that in the future, after Daze's trading cities were opened to the other side, taxes would never be levied. As long as someone went to exchange them, they could bring potential benefits to Daze.

Several diners at another table had drunk too much and were talking nonsense. These people came from southern Xinjiang and may have stayed in Goat Valley before. What they were talking about at this time was the incident that happened in Ruoshui Longze not long ago, but these People don't know the details, so what they say is wrong.

When men get together, the topic easily turns to women. Soon the prostitute Xiu Niang becomes the focus of their discussion. The Xiu Niang who survived the disaster has become a celebrity. I don’t know how another vulgar version came out. Said that she had been imprisoned and raped by the Dragon God. In this regard, the diners at the same table had questions. They only said that Goat Valley was more than a hundred miles away from Xiaoshui Longze, so how could the Dragon God go to rape Xiu Niang.

The drunkard also had an explanation for his companion's question. He said that the dragon whip could be extended infinitely and was passed through the ground.

How can there be a whip that is more than a hundred long? Naturally, no one believed him for such an illogical explanation, and they could not help but laugh at him.

The drunkard was anxious and said that the know-it-all of Goat Valley had seen it with his own eyes. How could it be false?

As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter, and someone laughed and said, "How can a know-it-all be blind for many years and see with his own eyes?"

When the lie was exposed, the drunkard became angry and shouted at the police.

Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone coaxed and persuaded him and helped him go.

There is a saying that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. If what a person sees and hears are filthy and dirty things, over time, his state of mind will naturally become filthy and dirty. Only the lotus flower can emerge from the mud. Without staining, people cannot do this.

Wu Zhongyuan was still tired of hearing such dirty words at first, but after hearing the last words of the drunkard, his mood improved slightly. Anyone who can be called a know-it-all must be a knowledgeable person, and he just needs this right now. one person,

From what they said, this know-it-all lived in Goat Valley, and he was blind, so it must not be difficult to find him.

Thinking of this section, a person suddenly came to mind. When he and Wu Daley passed through Goat Valley that day, they met an old blind man at the intersection of the town. Out of sympathy, he gave the old blind man some food, and about Luan Fengjian The old blind man also told the two of them the news. Could it be that the old blind man was the know-it-all that the drunkard said?

Originally, he was going to steal the real high-yielding grain seeds from the Fox Clan, and then he could stop by and find this old blind man.

After dawdling for half an hour, Wu Zhongyuan changed to another wine shop. Just like in modern times, wine shops at this time were also divided into high, middle and low-end. The wine shops that the peasants went to were low-end, while the merchants went to the mid-range and high-end ones, which were those with status. Talent consumption is affordable.

This time Wu Zhongyuan switched to such a restaurant. In the low-end restaurant, he ate noodles and soy sauce mallow. Sunflower was a more common vegetable at this time. It is not the same thing as sunflower. It has nothing to do with okra. It is the same thing. Plant green leafy plants. At a mid-range restaurant, he ate fried wild rice and fried wild rice. The wild rice is similar to cabbage, but not stuffed with fillings. The so-called wild rice is actually not rice, but beans, which are also one of the five grains.

High-end wine shops ordered honey lotus root, salt water chestnuts and a pot of wine. People at this time had not yet learned how to fake things to harm their compatriots. The food was all genuine. Real honey lotus root slices and water chestnuts boiled in salt water were already considered very popular at this time. Fine and luxurious food.

Water chestnuts have to be peeled, and peeling takes time. The reason why Wu Zhongyuan ordered them was because they were troublesome to eat and he could reasonably stay in the wine shop for a while.

The more high-end the restaurant, the fewer diners there were. Apart from him, there was only one table with two warriors who had just changed the guard and a few officers. The warriors belonged to the nobility at this time. Important positions in the army were usually held by warriors, but the army There are also some low-ranking officers who are not warriors but are very brave.

These people were more vigilant. After Wu Zhongyuan sat down, they lowered their voices, and some of them watched him from the corner of their eyes from time to time.

After eating two meals before, Wu Zhongyuan was already full. This time, he just stuffed himself. While eating, he tilted his head and looked at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

A quarter of an hour later, the diners at that table left first. Wu Zhongyuan packed up the remaining water chestnuts, paid and left.

Although these people didn't say anything of value, he still learned something. When they left, one of the warriors joked that the other warrior was newly married and was ready to return home.

This may seem like nothing, but it reveals a very important clue, that is, a warrior got married not long ago, which means that Jiang Zheng’s wife is not sick at all. Jiang is the great Jiang of the Niu clan, and his status is equivalent to that of the emperor. His A wife is equivalent to a queen. If the queen is bedridden, which warrior would dare to get married? How can there be such a short-sighted subordinate?

Jiang Nan is a direct descendant. From the fact that a warrior got married not long ago, it can be indirectly inferred that her mother is not seriously ill. Jiang Nan was indeed deceived by Jiang Zheng.

The reason why she was deceived by Jiang Zheng rather than captured was because Jiang Dahua said earlier that Jiang Nan returned alone, so there was no restriction on personal freedom.

What would Jiang Nan do when he learned that he had been cheated? Knowing that they have been cheated, a person's first reaction is to do the opposite and not let the other person get what he wants, so the possibility of Jiang Nan staying in Lianshan is not high.

What is uncertain now is when Jiang Nan left Lianshan. If he had known that he had obtained the city when he left, he would have gone to his territory to find him.

If you didn’t know this part when you left, you would probably come back to Goat Valley. You must know that there were no mobile phones at this time, the news spread very slowly, and there was no one else around when he was bargaining with the three tribes that day, so as of now, places other than the three tribes may not know about the cities ceded by the three tribes. One thing.

During the day, he rushed from Jiumu to Daze, then from Daze to Gushan, and then from Gushan to Lianshan. If Jiang Nan really went to look for him, he must have met him. If he didn't, it meant that Jiang Nan Probably heading to Goat Valley.

However, we do not rule out the possibility that Jiang Nan is still in Lianshan, but this possibility is unlikely. If Jiang Nan is really in Lianshan, with his current cultivation level, it may be difficult to get in touch with Jiang Zheng without alerting her. .

If Jiang Zheng is alerted, Jiang Zheng probably won't let him take Jiang Nan away. You must know that Jiang Zheng is an old fox. Knowing that he is now on the cusp of the storm and may be plotted by the enemy at any time, how could this old fox allow his daughter to be the target of the enemy? Stay together.

After pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision and rushed to Goat Valley after saving the second child, instead of staying in Lianshan.

After making up his mind, he felt Dasha and asked him to come to help him.

There were soldiers guarding the city walls on all sides of the mountain. For fear of being discovered by the soldiers, Dasha was instructed to climb as high as possible. The higher he flew, the smaller the target would be and the harder it would be to be discovered.

While waiting for Dasha to arrive, Wu Zhongyuan pulled out his dagger and cut three wooden pads. When Dasha started to land, he pulled out the arrow, inserted the pads, and shot at the dog's head.

The arrow flew out and the dog was stunned.

Don't underestimate this dog. Stunning it and rescuing the second child is just a joke at best. If you kill the dog, its nature will change and it will be difficult to talk to him in the future.

Dasha landed very quickly. Wu Zhongyuan took advantage of the opportunity and fired again with his bow. Two arrows were shot at the two dwarfs. The two dwarfs were sleeping and were unprepared and fainted.

Dasha hung up his second child, flapped his wings and climbed high. Wu Zhongyuan picked up the arrow, lifted up his energy, and landed on Dasha's head. Dasha tried his best to fly high, and flew eastward with the iron cage from high altitude.

Arriving in the forest to the east, Wu Zhongyuan retrieved the baggage, swung the dragon stick to break the lock, took the second child out of the cage, and then drove Dasha to fly south.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the second child woke up quickly. After opening his eyes, he found himself in mid-air and screamed in fright.

Fearing that it would panic and fall, Wu Zhongyuan grabbed it and said, "Stop barking."

"You, you, who are you?" The second child narrowed his eyes and raised his head.

"You don't recognize me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually. The second child has spiritual energy cultivation and should be able to see at night. But now he can't see his face clearly. This means that his spiritual energy cultivation has been used by the Niu Clan in some way. The method was restrained.

"Something sounds familiar," the second child raised his hand and scratched his head, "Yeah, it's you, brother. Is your wife okay?"

Hearing what the second brother said, Wu Zhongyuan knew that he was on the right track. This guy accidentally injured Wu Di's head when he rescued Wu Di last time, so he asked this question.

"It's okay." Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "You're not a good guy. I taught you magical skills, and you sneaked away?"

Knowing that Wu Di was fine, the second child felt relieved and mumbled, "How could I have slipped away? Well, well, brother, there seems to be something wrong with the magical skill you taught me."

"I didn't blame you for running away, but you still have the nerve to call an army to hold him accountable?" Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to cover his nose. This guy probably hasn't taken a shower in a long time, and the smell on his body is very unpleasant.

"No way, no way." The second child changed the topic awkwardly, "Brother, you are still righteous and came back to save me."

Wu Zhongyuan let go of it, "Just wait and don't fall."

"Brother, where is my eldest brother?" The second brother then remembered that he had a companion.

"Still in Lianshan, I only rescued you yourself." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"Why did you save me?" asked the second child. He was not stupid enough to think that Wu Zhongyuan saved him out of loyalty.

"You mean I shouldn't save you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"No, no, no," the second child waved his hands repeatedly, "You rescued me, and I will always find a way to repay you. If you have any errands, just give me your orders."

"There is nothing you need to do for the time being. You will follow me from now on and do whatever is useful to you." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Okay, okay." The second child agreed repeatedly.

"You have already escaped once. If you dare to escape again, see how I deal with you." Wu Zhongyuan threatened.

"Don't run, don't run..."
