Jiang Yichen's eyes turned cold, and he turned directly to Egg and asked, "Do you know where Fanglu Mountain is located and how far away it is from here?"
"Go northeast from here, about twenty miles." For some reason, Egg didn't hide anything from Jiang Yichen.
"What about Ye Langyuan?"
"It's less than ten miles to the west from here."
"That is to say, the place where the two of them were most likely to find the traces of the group of people before last night was at Wild Wolf Plains."
"That seems to be the case."
"With how heavy the rain was last night, will you continue to walk in the rain?"
"Won't."
"If you were hungry in your belly, with the strength of your feet, could you possibly have walked more than forty miles during the day?"
"cannot."
"What about turning back five miles?"
"It's not difficult."
After he finished speaking, a chill filled the whole room.
"It seems that Uncle Lan's memory is not very good." Jiang Yichen said coldly.
"Hehe...yes, yes, I'm a little old, and my memory is a little unreliable." Lan Sheng put on a wry smile, patted his head, and followed Jiang Yichen's words.
Shu Tong on the side was silent, but he couldn't help but nodded, indicating that Lan Sheng's memory was not very good.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, with an atmosphere of tense tension.
"Haha, now that the food is all served, let's all have a meal. You're welcome, come on, come on, eat!" Jiang Yichen suddenly lost his momentum and said with a smile, and then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and threw himself at the table.
delicious food.
The whole room suddenly became several times colder than it had just been. The three of them couldn't relax for a while. Shu Tong's heart was in his throat just now, but now he was standing aside.
"Oh, oh, so... delicious." His stomach growled loudly. Lan Sheng, who had not eaten yet, came to his senses first and said awkwardly.
After that, no one spoke in the room except for the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks and the sounds of chewing and devouring.
After Jiang Yichen was seventy percent full, he stopped to rest, and then the three people at the table fell into a non-stop battle for food.
While Jiang Yichen was stunned, the three of them fought for each other. After devouring the food, all the dishes on the table were gone, not even a drop of soup was left. If those bones were not inedible, they might not have been spared.
At this point, Jiang Yichen completely believed that what these three people said about eating was true. They were not lying. Seeing them like this, could it be that they did not take off the pot for three days and ate it for three days? Then his appearance can be said to be a sign.
Timely rain, of course, he also thanked them from the bottom of his heart for being patient until he finished eating before taking effect.
"Qu————!" Shu Tong's long burp sounded, which meant that everyone was full of food and wine.
"So, you two, can you tell me in detail what happened when you met the cavalry team last night?" Jiang Yichen said, tapping the porcelain bowl with his chopsticks.
"Yesterday, when the rain started to fall, the two of us were looking for shelter in a cave where the wild wolves were. We saw seven fast horses galloping past on the road. Regardless of the wind and rain, they were going very fast, so we took a few more glances.
So I have some impression." Lan Sheng, who was full and warm without any scruples, and was already satisfied with his food, didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore and said bluntly.
"Where is the Wild Wolf Plains? What kind of power does it belong to, or what sect is there?" When Shu Tong mentioned that the Wild Wolf Plains were in the west of Jianglin Town, Jiang Yichen felt strange in his heart.
It was the only way to and from Jianglin Town. Could it be that the seven of them discovered something on the road and therefore went to the wild wolf's place.
"Although Yelangyuan is less than ten miles away from Jianglin Town, it is separated by two high mountains. It is also a shady place between the two mountains. Thunderstorms occur all year round. There are depressions and overgrown weeds everywhere. The environment is so bad that it is remote.
Although it is rare, only the red wolves that like to live in swamps will make their nests in that area. However, there is a group of people who do not care about life and death and have set up camp between the two mountains near the caves. What are they called the Greedy Wolf Gang?
Yes, right?" Lan Sheng seemed to have a bad memory and asked Shu Tong for confirmation.
"Yes, yes, it's the Greedy Wolf Gang." Shu Tong said.
"The Greedy Wolf Gang? What are the benefits of the wild wolf's place, so that the Greedy Wolf Gang is willing to survive in that environment?" Jiang Yichen asked.
"Young Master Jiang has hit the mark. Deep in the Wild Wolf Plains, there are many rare fruits growing. They are rare and expensive. If you can pick them and sell them to a wealthy family, the price will be quite good. And the fur of the red wolf is even more valuable."
It is something that many wealthy merchants covet. If you can hunt one or two, it will be enough to feed and clothe a dozen people for half a year. Although the environment is harsh, do you think this kind of transaction is worth it?" Lan Sheng asked back.
.
Jiang Yichen did not answer Lan Sheng's words, but fell into deep thought. On the surface, it seemed that the Greedy Wolf Gang had nothing to do with the seven people from Taiji Village, let alone the government escorting the suspect. Could it be that
Is there a demonic cult like the Nether Sect behind the Greedy Wolf Gang that controls it?
"I'm quite curious, are you going to places like that to hunt wolves, or to pick exotic flowers and fruits?" Jiang Yichen said.
"Oh, haha, I'm not afraid of Young Master Jiang's jokes. I do have gastrointestinal abnormalities in the past few days and the pain is unbearable. I heard that there is a fruit tree with branches covered with gold deep in the Wild Wolf Field. The fruit it bears is called
Kiwi fruit does have a miraculous effect of easing the bowels and laxatives, so it is convenient for me, a little brother, to go and explore his luck." Lan Sheng first glared at Shu Tong, telling him to shut up, and then told her that Jiang Yichen almost almost
To convince him.
"It seems that Uncle Lan is very lucky. He must have found this kiwi fruit, so he can let go and eat and drink today." Jiang Yichen said with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, it's all thanks to Young Master Jiang." Lan Sheng calmly flattered Jiang Yichen.
"In recent days, have the officials in Jianglin Town done anything unusual?" Jiang Yichen remained unmoved and asked, changing the topic.
"Uh..." Lan Sheng, who had always been coping well, suddenly seemed to be in trouble. He glanced at the egg inadvertently, but Jiang Yichen's eyes did not escape.
"What, can't you tell me?" Just when Jiang Yichen was about to turn around and ask Eggy directly, Eggy spoke first.
"I have been staying in Jianglin Town for the past few days. If there is anything unusual about this yamen, it is indeed the case. It was also a few days ago that I first saw the government mobilize troops and send out more than ten people to patrol. At that time
I'm still wondering what happened to make the government so aggressive."
"Just now, I hope Young Master Jiang won't be offended. Shu Tong and I are indeed not in Jianglin Town these days, and we don't know about it. Fortunately, the egg guy is kind-hearted and informed us. What the egg guy said
Jiang Shaoxia seems to know the inside story better, and I wonder if he can help Jiang Shaoxia?" Lan Sheng interrupted and explained.
"After the official went out, will we see him return in the past two days?" Regarding what Lan Sheng said, Jiang Yichen cursed in his heart. Don't let this great bastard catch him and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. However, at this time, he
He had no intention of paying attention to Lan Sheng, and was more concerned about the situation of the government, so he asked the egg.
"I haven't returned yet." Egg replied.
When Jiang Yichen heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This was the worst result. In this case, three groups of people disappeared out of thin air on the road from Wudang to Xijiang County. There were more than ten government officials escorting the three Wuxiangmen.
There were five Red Birds, Xunbao people who followed him all the way, and seven people who came with him from Tai Chi Village the day before yesterday to help him. In terms of time, he had been practicing internal energy in Tai Chi Village for five or six days, and the government escorted Wu Xiang
It didn’t take more than a day for the people at the door to get on the road. It shouldn’t have taken more than a day for the cardinal to send the urgent news through the peregrine falcon, which also meant that they should be in Xijiang County, at least not far from Jianglin Town, when they arrived
Something has gone wrong. And the message from Hongque that "there are enemies to intercept Hu", is it a roadblock, robbery, or other forces trying to snatch the people from the Wuxiang Sect away from the government?
Jiang Yichen didn't find any clues along the way, and he knew very little information. It was difficult to analyze the reason for the moment, and he fell into chaos.
"What actions have been taken within the government in recent days?" Jiang Yichen frowned worriedly.
"I don't know about that, at least on the surface it's still calm." Egg replied.
After all, Jiang Yichen still couldn't hide his thoughts. Lan Sheng quickly understood from looking at his face, "Young Master Jiang, it is normal for people from the government to delay for a while on the road. For now, besides waiting here for the next few days, Jiang Yichen can't hide his thoughts.
Apart from seeing what happens in the day, the only clue left is Yelangyuan, I wonder if you can go and check it out?"
"Oh, Uncle Lan and Uncle Shu are still willing to lead the way for me?" Jiang Yichen didn't think there would be any good news if he just waited here, so he asked immediately.
"Haha, I once said that Young Master Jiang has a kind face and is so happy. He has saved the two of us and this little egg brother from all the difficulties. Naturally, we are very grateful. Therefore, we are willing to share the worries of Young Master." Lan Sheng.
Righteousness and strict speech.
Jiang Yichen couldn't help it and laughed. What Lan Sheng said was better than what he sang. It would be a pity not to sing in operas with such qualifications.
"No need, you two just need to tell me the specific location. Let's just say goodbye and won't bother you anymore." Jiang Yichen stood up and said.
Seeing that Jiang Yichen had made up his mind, Lan Sheng no longer wasted any time, and Tong Shutong explained the location and details of Yelangyuan to Jiang Yichen in detail.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yichen disappeared in a flash.
Lan Sheng hurriedly broke open the door and shouted at the flying figure, "Hey! Young Master Jiang! Remember to pay the bill!!!" He was afraid that others would not know that this young man was a small rich man, but he was even more afraid that this young man would leave without paying the bill.
