It’s not that he treated Lao Xingjun so cruelly, and he may not have done this. The most important thing is that he promised to send Grand Scholar Zeng Jing to come. But the reply said that the bachelor was missing.
As for the date of disappearance, Jiang Fan keenly discovered that it was probably shortly after Zeng Jing went to the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
It was unusual. His disappearance made Jiang Fan feel that many things were more confusing.
But right now, the most important thing is not Zeng Jing, but Zhang Zaifu. Zeng Jing will definitely look for it, but he doesn’t want Zhang Zaifu to have another accident. The top priority is to get this matter settled first, and then slowly deal with Zeng Jing’s matter. .
So he immediately said goodbye to the city lord and others and headed south to Jiangling.
This time he traveled in secret. After all, the old man's identity was too amazing and he knew too much about the Five Kingdoms and the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once the news leaked out, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
By then, not to mention Dazhou and Taiyue, even Wei, Jin, Xia, and Chu may not be able to sit back and watch this man return to Daqin from the west.
Zhang Zaifu's whereabouts should be said to be extremely confidential. After all, the old prime minister also knew his situation.
But if Paradise City can find it, it may not be possible for others. Jiang Fan was even a little worried that some people with ulterior motives might be following Paradise City to look for this old man. And it is very likely that it was because he was looking for it that he attracted the attention of others. If something happens to him, Jiang Fan will be blamed.
When he thought about this, he was a little anxious. He shouldn't have delayed it for so long. The internal affairs of Paradise City could be dealt with later.
Unfortunately, Xiaobai wasn't there either, so Jiang Fan had no choice but to run an extreme marathon again and run all the way to Qingjiang Town.
Qingjiang Town is a very small town. It is located at the junction of Shanxi and Chu, at the foot of Yunling Mountain and on the bank of Qingjiang River. It has only a few thousand people. They make a living by fishing and hunting. The people live in poverty and are usually very inconspicuous.
Moreover, this place has no connection with Zhang Zaifu's life, so it is indeed difficult to visit in seclusion. Not to mention that Zhang Zhiling also used the pseudonym Qing Jiangsou. Therefore, Bliss also used a lot of manpower and found it by accident.
Jiang Fan ran wildly for more than ten days before reaching the edge of this town. Yao Guang, who was leading the way, almost turned into a dog from exhaustion.
"I said... Lord, your physical strength is quite good..." Yaoguang breathed heavily.
Jiang Fan also discovered that as he exceeded his limits, his physical strength did increase every day. Especially since Da Lang and Xiao Yin took a bath in blood essence, it became more obvious than that of Long Ao.
Not only his physical strength, but also his hearing and sense of smell are unusually sharp, but the price is that Mr. Jiang has to use his true energy to hold his breath every time he goes to the toilet, otherwise he will faint.
"Thank you for your cultivation." Jiang Fan said with disdain: "Okay, stop and fix it, let's observe first."
Yaoguang sat down on the hillside, bit off the stopper of the gourd, and took two big gulps.
"No one should be able to find Zhang Zaifu. Why are you in such a hurry? I am an older person in this burning situation."
Jiang Fan snorted: "You're just in your fifties and you're still calling me old. I think you just let the wine drain you."
Yaoguang hummed, not bothering to argue with him.
Jiang Fan looked at the town clearly visible under the hillside: "Call me Young Master there, don't reveal your secret."
"I know, I know. Is there something wrong with you being so anxious?"
Jiang Fan said: "You should know that it was the rebels who found Zhang Zaifu's traces. I am afraid that the news will be leaked."
Yaoguang said: "Don't underestimate the old Prime Minister. He is the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms. The water is deep. Even if Tai Yue wants to touch him, it will not be easy. I think you are just taking the carrot and not worrying."
Jiang Fan also hoped that what he said was right, but he felt a little uneasy for no reason.
"You are called Bai Xiaosheng, tell me the origin of the hunchbacked old man next to Zhang Zaifu."
Yaoguang said: "Most people really don't know about this. The old Xiangguo had a special status and had many expert guards around him, but the two who were hidden the most were named Tian Can and Di Que. Tian Can camel lion, Di Que lame tiger. What do you think? That old servant with a hunchback must be a lion hunchback. This man was born with a hunchback, but he has the power of a lion and a tiger. He is a great sage."
Jiang Fan recalled that day in Linjiang Pavilion, he grabbed a dozen long iron arrows and threw them away, causing people three miles away to flip over on their backs. He was really like an angry lion.
But I never thought that this person was actually a great saint.
"Who is Di Que?" Jiang Fan was a little curious, as he had not seen a third person that day.
"Is this Di Que... He is also a great sage. He is known as Di Que Lame Tiger. I heard he is a lame..."
"Heard?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "You are also Bai Xiaosheng after all. How can you use the word "heard" to the big shots around Zhang Zaifu?"
Yaoguang burped and shook his head: "No, there is no way... Very few people have seen a lame tiger, and those who have seen it are usually dead."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Fan felt a little relieved. With two great sages beside him, Zhang Zaifu should not be in any danger.
He was suddenly a little curious: "What kind of cultivation level does this Master Zaifu have?"
Yaoguang was stunned: "You are asking this question, who doesn't know that Zhang Zaifu has no cultivation at all."
No cultivation at all? Jiang Fan's expression changed, and he remembered that day Zhang Zhiling looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice shaking the sea. Such a person has no cultivation at all?
He suddenly felt that this Master, the Prime Minister, was probably as deep as Yaoguang said.
Yaoguang saw his eyes twinkling, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly sighed: "I say, Master, you are so naive, no wonder the Chief Manager of Shangguan lost so miserably."
Jiang Fan snorted softly: "Thanks to you, a twenty-five-year-old boy."
"Twenty-five boys?" Yaoguang didn't understand.
"It means the position is wavering."
Yaoguang quickly raised his hand and swore: "It's unjust. I am loyal to Tianhu. This trip can be regarded as a great contribution. If there is no reward, why do I still have a reputation of being indifferent."
Jiang Fan snorted: "Loyal to Tianhu? I'm afraid you are loyal to the broken book in your arms. If you hadn't known about that matter, I'm afraid you would be the first person to raise a banner to kill me."
Yaoguang actually didn't refute: "Why didn't you tell me about that earlier?"
Jiang Fan looked at him: "You asked a stupid question."
Yaoguang snorted, knowing that he was indeed stupid. But it always feels a little weird.
"Just tell me that you really didn't lie to me?"
Jiang Fan waved his hand impatiently: "Go and find someone else to confirm it yourself. Ask me. Don't you think it's stupid?"
After being called stupid twice in a while, Yaoguang felt that he was indeed a bit stupid.
"Alas - now that things have happened, there is nothing left to doubt. I believe it is, there is no turning back anyway."
Complaints are complaints, and there is actually a hint of excitement in his expression that is not easy to detect.
This matter was too important to him, more than his wealth and life. The city lord and the old fox were both confirming this matter. In fact, he had no doubts for a long time, but he just wanted to hear him say it himself.
Jiang Fan looked at him a little seriously: "Yaoguang, your city is not good enough. Since the independence of Ji Le, you should bury all the past deeply, otherwise, you know..."
Yaoguang chuckled: "You also know that you can't help it..."
