Jiang Wang looked hollowed out and slumped down on the chair.
"This is really a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."
He rubbed his neck and looked at Li Shenyuan, whose face turned rosy. "There must be a way to solve it once and for all. Even if it is really necessary to kill me, it may not be cured, so tell the deputy city lord about this matter and don't do it again." Come to think of it, we all share the same disease, and we should work together to find the right treatment."
"What you said makes sense."
"right."
Jiang Wang was startled as he finished speaking.
The sound came from outside, and the attic door was opened immediately. Ru Yanqing followed the deputy city lord and poked his head around.
"Chen Futu is gone?"
Jiang Wang stood up with difficulty, saluted the deputy city lord, and asked.
The deputy city lord said: "You are wandering around the city. On the surface, you are only following a guard. In fact, when you met with me, you have already arranged for someone to investigate Wutiao City. He is aware of your existence and must be waiting on purpose."
Jiang Wang thought that before his death, Ba Shou said that he was under the crown prince's command. Although he did not completely believe it, he was indeed not very willing to see the prince.
The deputy city lord sat down at the head. She seemed to prefer children, so Ru Yanqing failed to escape from the clutches. She held her face and rubbed it. Seeing his apprentice whimpering for help, Jiang Wang pretended to be helpless.
Li Shenyuan was much more honest in front of the deputy city lord, as if he were a lady, sitting aside and saying nothing.
Jiang Wang scratched his head and said: "To be honest, I am not in good health and very weak. It is okay to help Li Shenyuan once in a while, otherwise he will easily die. We have to consider this matter in the long run. Once the method of killing the chicken to retrieve the eggs is used, my life will be It’s gone, and Li Shenyuan is not well, so it really won’t be better.”
The deputy city lord didn't say anything intentionally. If it weren't for Li Shenyuan's illness, she wouldn't be willing to let Jiang Wang get close to her. In other words, if that guy knew that her precious daughter was very close to a man, he would be so angry that he could kill her. The world was turned upside down.
If she followed the topic and teased Jiang Wang, it would be awkward just thinking about it.
Even if he deliberately said that he wanted Jiang Wangming, he still swallowed the words when they came to his lips.
Instead of pointing at Jiang Wang, she was more eager to find the one at home. As long as he was around, no problem would be a problem. Then Jiang Wang's role was nothing more than to keep Li Shenyuan safe and sound until that day.
"I'm looking for Shen Yuan's teacher. Shen Yuan's illness can be alleviated by being born on a cloudy day in a yin year, a yin month, and a yin day. This is the method given by her teacher. I have never found it before, so naturally I can't advance the follow-up questions. How can it be done? Whether you can be cured directly or not, I just have to wait for her to answer."
The deputy city lord looked at Jiang Wang and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can stay in Wutiao City temporarily, and I will help you find a place to live in the city."
Jiang Wang hesitated and asked, "How long will it take to stay? Is it difficult to find Li Shenyuan's teacher?"
The deputy city lord said: "She has always appeared on her own in the past and has never been found. This is the first time. Judging from the current situation, it is indeed difficult to find her."
Jiang Wang thought that he really didn't have anything important to do now. He knew what was going on with Chen Jinghuai, so there was no need for him to think about it any more. Moreover, after experiencing the troubles of the Long Chan demon, he should feel at ease and be lazy for a while.
The whole Longcicada is at its most peaceful time, and there is no chance to find monsters for nourishment. Thinking of this, Jiang Wang nodded and said: "Then I will stay for a while, limited to one month. If I still haven't found anyone by then, I will Then he left."
"Okay." The deputy city lord looked at Li Shenyuan's full of energy at the moment and saw Jiang Wang's extremely weak appearance. He already knew it. He clapped his hands and someone appeared outside the attic, leading Jiang Wang and Ru Yan. Qing left the city lord's mansion.
Li Shenyuan hesitated and said, "Don't you want him to stay for a meal?"
The deputy city lord glanced at her.
Li Shenyuan shut up.
"There is nothing wrong with the small chessboard in Fusheng's hand. It is still unclear why it malfunctioned in the middle. Either something belonging to your father is in Mantang Mountain, or as I expected before, it is related to the evil plague of Longchan, because everything started from The arrival of Chi Tui on Mantang Mountain has begun, so I will take some time to go there, and you just stay here and don’t go anywhere."
Li Shenyuan said oh.
The deputy city lord added: "Your aunt has said that her sword will arrive in the Great Sui Dynasty soon, so in addition to Mantang Mountain, I also want to go to Naihe Sea again. This is the best opportunity at present. I hope I can get it smoothly. Get your father's things back in Naihehai."
Li Shenyuan said in confusion: "But across the Sui Dynasty, the Panmen incident caused so much commotion, and my mother couldn't find a chance to sneak in quietly. And why did my aunt use the sword Sui Dynasty? Is it Xi? What do you mean?"
The deputy city lord said: "It's not that I didn't find the opportunity, it's just that it's easy to sneak in, but it's difficult to get things and come back quietly again. Xi Tan really needs to take some action, targeting the younger generation. This has nothing to do with the hundred-year contract, Sui Tan It’s common for the younger generation to challenge each other.”
"According to your aunt's character, she will not get involved in such a thing, but since she has to pass through Naihehai, she thinks it is an opportunity. She will take the opportunity to help me cover all my sight. The key to whether it can happen or not is up to me."
Li Shenyuan said worriedly: "But it is said that the demon king Naihe is very powerful. It is impossible for my mother to go alone. Liu Pian is not here. Third uncle is injured. Even if he can recover in time, his strength is still not enough. Just as you said , it is easy to break into the Naihe Sea, but it is completely impossible without alarming the monsters inside, or to deal with all the monsters blocking the way in one breath without making a big fuss."
The deputy city lord smiled and said: "So I need Tang Tang's help. This is the second purpose of my trip to Mantang Mountain."
Li Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hesitated: "How about I help you with my words? If I take Jiang Wang with me, maybe we can expand the distance due to the incident with Eunji earlier. In case I can do it, If we can directly let you appear in the hinterland of Naihe Sea and get you out in time, wouldn't we be able to avoid a lot of trouble?"
The deputy city lord was stunned for a moment.
After all, she is her daughter. In the eyes of her parents, no matter how old a child is, they are still children. She really didn't realize that her daughter could also help, especially with more dangerous things. She never thought about Li Shen in her plan. kite.
Her expression softened a little, and she said softly: "Because of Jiang Wang's blood, there is some bond between you. Whether it can affect the third person is debatable. Even if it is possible, the sea is so big, your consumption must be beyond imagination. , Just be willing to do it, the elders are still here, there is no need to put you in danger."
Li Shenyuan was about to speak but stopped.
The deputy city lord hugged her and said: "Originally, it just happened to be a chance. Anyway, that thing can't be lost in the Naihe Sea. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. When you say what you say, you can go to the next level. You can't just go to Wu. If you cry to the city, you can get the things back."
...
There is a Xinghua Alley in Wutiao City. Although it is said to be an alley, it is actually quite large and very lively.
Compared with other streets, which have become quieter due to the arrival of Chen Futu, Xinghua Alley is not on the main road and is far away from the city lord's palace, but it still has the same style as before.
Some of the monks and warriors were wandering on foot, and some were riding donkeys. They seemed similar to ordinary people's daily lives, but they were also very different.
On both sides of the lane, rows of quaint shops have their doors open. The shopkeepers warmly greet passers-by and display their products. The shops in Wutiao City are the most different from the outside world. Most of the products inside are related to spiritual practice. Related, including various resources.
Jiang Wang looked around. On the left, there was a blacksmith from the Fourth Martial Arts Realm, who was skillfully forging a sword. On the right, there was a painter from the Dongming Realm, who was painting a face for a customer who was a monk in the same realm, with delicate brushstrokes.
Further ahead, at the fork in the alley, there is a stone bridge spanning the gurgling water, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and simple buildings.
There were several monks standing at the head of the bridge, and some women were washing clothes under the bridge, echoing with laughter and laughter.
I saw the monks using Qi to control water. Sometimes they looked like tigers, sometimes like elephants, and at the same time they were exchanging their own experiences.
Not far away, a truck was approaching, carrying heavy goods. It almost rolled over when turning. Before the driver could make a move, the laundry woman stepped forward to hold the truck with one hand and righted it easily.
In the teahouse at the corner of the alley, several warriors dressed as knights were chatting over genuine tea, talking about the recent situation in the world of Long Chan.
Jiang Wang held Ru Yanqing's hand and followed the monks from Wutiao City. Seeing all the scenery along the way, he felt even more that Wutiao City was such a wonderful place.
"This is your residence. The wine shop diagonally opposite is opened by an old servant of the City Lord's Mansion. If you have any problems, you can call him. If you can solve it, you will solve it. If you can't solve it, you will help us and let us know. Just rest. , I’ll take my leave.”
Jiang Wang looked at the courtyard in front of him, and what he saw was a wooden door that had weathered the weather. It was carved with complex patterns. I don’t know what the meaning was. There was an ancient copper lock hanging on the door, which was stained with rust. Judging from the appearance, It seems to be of no use.
From the outside, it looks quite bad, but when Jiang Wang pushed open the creaking courtyard door, he saw a small pond in the courtyard. The water surface was covered with green lotus leaves, and a few lotus flowers were swaying gently in the water. , the pond is surrounded by carefully trimmed flowers and plants, and various flowers are vying for beauty in the courtyard, exuding a light fragrance.
Jiang Wang was slightly startled, and Ru Yanqing couldn't help but cheered: "So beautiful!"
It was indeed unexpected.
It was obvious that this courtyard just looked dilapidated, but there was a cave within it, and it was often taken care of. Apart from the pond, the most eye-catching thing was a pavilion, which stood in a corner of the courtyard, overlooking the entire courtyard.
The ground is covered with bluestone slabs, which also show the traces of time, giving the overall feeling of tranquility and simplicity.
I don’t know who the original owner of this yard was.
I guess he is not an ordinary person.
Jiang Wang took Ru Yanqing around the courtyard and looked at every room. It was spotless and there was no place that needed cleaning.
The sun gradually turns to the west, and night falls soon. A bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are dotted, illuminating the entire Xinghua Alley. In the silent night, only the occasional drumbeat breaks the tranquility, indicating the tranquility of Wutiao City. .
After having dinner outside, Ru Yanqing had already gone to bed, while Jiang Wang stayed alone in the pavilion, lying on the wicker chair and staring at the courtyard door.
The sound of rolling wheels sounded and stopped in front of the door
In just a moment, the ajar door was pushed open.
"Coming in uninvited is not the fault of a guest."
Bailixiu, who was carrying a sword, glanced at Jiang Wang. There were no lights on in the courtyard, only the moonlight illuminated it, making Jiang Wang's face under the pavilion a little blurry.
Chen Futu walked in immediately, coughing violently as if he was terminally ill, and his face turned pale for a moment. Jiang Wang was worried that he would suddenly die here.
Although I have never met Chen Futu, except for His Highness the Crown Prince, no one else can come to the door.
It was just the prince's attitude that surprised Jiang Wang.
Why do you look weaker than me?
"Mr. Jiang." Chen Futu greeted him politely and said as if he was used to it: "My guard has a bad temper. If he is rude, I will forgive him."
As soon as the words came out, others might laugh at them, but Jiang Wang said directly: "If you have a bad temper, why bother bringing it out? If you offend people everywhere, not everyone will tolerate it and kill him directly because of the prince's face. That’s not good.”
Chen Futu's expression did not change and he smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang is right. I won't take him with me next time."
Bailixiu's expression was ugly. Of course he knew that His Highness was just saying that he would not take him with him next time he went out. However, Jiang Wang's attitude clearly did not like His Highness. On the surface, he was talking about him, but in fact, he was quarreling with His Highness. .
Sensing the murderous intention that suddenly arose in Baili Xiu, Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly.
He is no longer the same person as he was yesterday. He has no worries when facing gods. He doesn't want to see Chen Futu just because he doesn't want to.
Although he didn't deliberately want to make things difficult for Chen Futu, or even kill him to see what would happen to Chen Jinghuai, he still adhered to the idea that father's debt should be paid by son, and he would not have a good tone towards the princes and princesses.
If the other party finds trouble, he will be the biggest gift in return.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Wang, who was in the Snow Bathing Realm, suppressed Baili Xiu without reservation.
It was sudden.
Neither Chen Futu nor Baili Xiu reacted.
But a breath appeared outside the hospital, which instantly offset Jiang Wang's power.
Looking at the direction where the breath appeared and disappeared, Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
