Naturally, Jiang Yichen knew nothing about Sha Qing's plans.
Jiang Yichen finally heard the keyword "Taoyuan Town"!
Although he was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, in order to avoid being recognized by Sha Qing, after eavesdropping on the conversation between the two for a while, he did not dare to stay long and chose to evacuate.
The prosperity of Gusu was indeed real. The bustling streets allowed Jiang Yichen to overhear only limited information. Apart from Taoyuan Town, he only heard that the woman would rush back to the bamboo forest to make preparations tomorrow. He didn't know what she was going to do.
Now we need to get more information about Juyuan and the old man, and connect the clues together to know what conspiracy Sha Qing has...
A fat man with a fat body, who can shake three times when he speaks a word. He is dressed in dark blue cloth, with a green rag hanging on his head, but he is holding a pole in his hand and he is dressed like this.
An extremely incongruous and slender gold pipe, and two square straw boxes placed on the floor behind him. Anyone who saw it at first glance would think that he was a nouveau riche who had nothing to do.
Of course, this person can be regarded as having nothing to do, either hanging out in gambling houses or wandering around the streets of Suzhou, but many people are eager to offer him countless gold and silver or various rare and rare treasures.
You can get some information from him, ranging from a treasure map that contains treasures from heaven and earth to a little-known birthmark on a person, almost any secrets in the world, as long as you want to know, pay the corresponding reward.
There is no news that cannot be obtained from him.
Sometimes he will draw a sketch for you, sometimes he will just dictate a piece of information, sometimes even just a word, but he is so needed by people in the world, and no one dares to break his rules. The most difficult thing to understand is that he clearly
He appears in front of everyone all day long, but why can he know everything? Is he a born magician? Or is there some mysterious force behind him?
As for why this person always looks so shabby and shabby, it’s not unexpected. Maybe people who have easy money are addicted to gambling. Anyway, he will never leave the casino unless he gambles away all his money every day.
He is the man who is known as the "know-it-all" - Bao Daqing!
As mentioned above, it is very easy to find Bao in the central square of Gusu City in front of Zixuan Palace.
Jiang Yichen was standing in front of this big fat man at this time, watching the fat on his face trembling and speaking to him: "Young hero, I guarantee that there is nothing in the world that cannot be heard, regardless of any grievances in the world.
, I can find out everything about strange people and strange things, official secrets, and unofficial legends. It’s just a high price, how about it? Is there anything you want to know about? I’m not a shady person, and the price is absolutely reasonable!”
Jiang Yichen cursed. Although he was disgusted with the fat man in front of him, he had no choice but to ask for help and did not dare to show any expression of contempt. In such a crowded square, he couldn't say what he wanted to ask, so he had to get closer.
After a while, he tried to ask in a tone that could be heard between the two of them: "I want to know where Juyuan is? How to get there? And where is Taoyuan Town?..."
"Okay, okay...stop, stop, stop!..." When Bao Wenwen heard Jiang Yichen's question, he raised his eyebrows at first, then took a second to carefully look at the young boy in front of him, and then said in an impatient tone.
He stopped him and said, "Say, little kid, you just came out to hang out. Do you think you can ask questions like this? Give me ten taels of silver first, and I will help you rise to the top. As for the questions you just asked, all of them are worth it.
All you need is ten taels of silver, just ask one by one."
After being interrupted, Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Bao Wenqin had something to say, he acted like a young man who was all ears. Unexpectedly, this big fat man was actually relying on his old age and even took the opportunity to blackmail him!
"Then, I want maps related to Juyuan and Taoyuan Town. Do you have any?" Jiang Yichen tentatively went to Bao Bao to inquire.
"Hey, brat, your mind is moving very fast! I also have the map of Juyuan, but you brat can't afford it. Even if I give it to you, you don't have the life to take it. As for Taoyuan Town,
, it’s just a small town and doesn’t need a map. But, these two places happen to be in Jiangning County. I have a big map of Jiangning County, thirty taels! Comes with top-secret information! Ha, these are my two days.
Some analysis and annotations on the map based on the latest Jianghu situation!"
Bao Wenwen was really bored recently. He analyzed the situation in the world and randomly scribbled on the map of Jiangning County that he had drawn not long ago. He happened to meet a young lamb. How could he wait until he slaughtered it now?
Seeing the fat man holding a piece of parchment dangling in front of his eyes, Jiang Yichen knew that Bao Wenwen was trying to trick him, but Jiang Yichen believed that the map was genuine, even though Bao Wenwen let him know that he was going there.
The place was Jiangning County, maybe it was originally intended to lure him into taking the bait, but with the map, he would avoid many detours and could better arrange his itinerary so that he could get to Juyuan as soon as possible.
As for the analysis notes of Bao DaTian, given Bao DaTai's ability, even some random comments should cover a large amount of information. It would be helpful if you can refer to them.
However, thirty taels of silver is not a small sum for Jiang Yichen. The journey to Juyuan is still far away. If he squanders all the money too early, will it affect the rest of the trip?
Bao Wencheng's words were too loud just now, which attracted the attention of a dark figure in the square. While Jiang Yichen lowered his head and thought, the dark figure quietly approached without attracting the two's attention!
When Jiang Yichen finally gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out thirty taels of silver from his bag and was about to hand it to Bao Wenwen, a strong gust of wind hit Jiang Yichen's face and the back of Bao Wenwen's head.
After a flash of lightning, I saw that the parchment was no longer in Bao Wenwen's hands. He turned around and looked at the scene behind him. People were still coming and going in the square, and nothing unusual was seen.
Just because Jiang Yichen didn't react, it didn't mean that Bao Wenwen didn't react. After being surprised by someone coming from behind, he fought the opponent with his right hand holding the parchment for seven or eight moves and lost it, only to lose it.
Jiang Yichen didn't see clearly the fight between Bao Wenwen and the black figure, but he was aware of the brief confrontation at that moment! How amazing!
Of course, what helped Jiang Yichen to react was Bao Dawen, who even cursed five times a second at the moment of the fight: "Fuck you, uncle, how dare you steal your stuff! Hey! Humph! That piece of shit has two brushes."
!Ouch!!!"
Jiang Yichen was shocked and admired by Bao Wenting's performance. He was indeed an extraordinary person who could hold such a place in the world. There were also crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Gusu City, so he had to be careful in his actions.
One second after the inquiry, Jiang Yichen sincerely admired and looked at it again. The next second, the painting style changed. The fat man in front of him spread out the right hand that had just held the map and sniffed it in front of his nose. He almost wanted to eat the pig's trotters.
Yes! A sly smile appeared on his huge face, and he murmured to himself: "Hey, it's not a loss this time. Little bitch, wait until I make a lot of money for a few more days before I favor you."
Jiang Yichen didn't hear clearly what the fat man was talking about. Only from his expression and the words "little girl" did he realize that it was a woman who snatched the picture just now! The picture he wanted was snatched by a woman! She was with Sha Qing earlier.
That white-haired woman? Jiang Yichen naturally thought in this direction, but before he could think about it further, he was interrupted by Bao asking about it.
"Hey, silly boy, why are you so dazed? Your map has been stolen, hurry up and get it back!" The voice naturally came from someone asking, and it sounded quite anxious for Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen felt that his thinking could no longer keep up with the rhythm of these big figures, but when he realized it, Bao Qin's name for him had changed from a young hero to a brat, and then to a stupid boy.
What do you mean my map is lost? It’s not yours!
Jiang Yichen kept sorting out the threads in his head, and then he was shocked to find that the thirty taels of silver that were just lying in his hands were already in Bao Wentan's hands!
What the hell is this!!! He was completely defeated and convinced!
"Um, um, how did you know it was a woman who robbed the thing?" Jiang Yichen did not dare to ask Bao to get back the thirty taels of silver, so as not to be tricked again. He just wanted the other party to answer his doubts.
"Hey, silly boy, I won't charge you for this question. I'm telling you, it depends on the feel! Do you understand?" Bao Wenwen said with a smile, and put the money into his pocket, then raised his palms in front of Jiang Yichen and made a rubbing gesture.
Then he made the same gesture of sniffing his hand just now, and added with a satisfied look on his face: "The scent of orchid~".
However, Jiang Yichen was still puzzled, with a look of disgust on his face, and wished he could look away.
Bao Wenzhen couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him was so ignorant and naive. He shook his head and waved his hands at Jiang Yichen, chasing him away, "It's hopeless, Sao Nian, just go back and forth wherever you come from. This world is not suitable for you."
Of course Jiang Yichen didn't want to do it. He lost thirty taels of silver inexplicably, which was a lot of money for him. However, he didn't get the things, and the fat man wanted to drive him away!
However, when he didn't leave, the fat man did. A gust of wind blew past Jiang Yichen's thin body, and Bao Dawen disappeared from his eyes.
