In the private room at Tianzi No. 7 in Jianghe Tower, everything that could be eaten on the table was already empty, but the three of them still had no intention of leaving.
"This kid won't just run away, right?" Lan Sheng felt that Jiang Yichen's sudden escape was probably to get along with them, and he was so angry that he couldn't help stamping his feet.
"Don't worry, he will definitely settle the bill before leaving. He is a good boy." Dan Dan laid down leisurely on the spliced seat and said with certainty.
"Are you sure? Then why do I always feel that this guy is plotting against me?" Lan Sheng said with a frown.
"Hehe, it's not like you had ulterior motives in the first place and treated people like fools to play tricks. Unfortunately, he was pretending to be confused and was not really stupid. When he got the chance to reciprocate, he retaliates in kind." Dandan said with a smile.
"Hey! Rotten Egg, you have no conscience when you say this. Who am I planning on doing this for? We have been starving for three days in a row without having a full meal. If we hadn't done this, what would you do today? Can you enjoy this blessing? "Lan Sheng said angrily, and suddenly thought of something, and he jumped up. , he had already seen that we were in the same group but did not reveal it directly. When we informed Ye Langyuan of all the situation, he immediately rubbed oil on his feet and ran away. He was really out for revenge. If you want to treat you, just sleep here. Last night, no one in this building can stop you anyway, so Shu Tong and I will take the first step."
While he was talking, Lan Sheng had already walked to the door and called Shu Tong, who was still burping and stroking his belly, to get up and leave.
"Come back! Did I say that the IQ of you, the most powerful person in Buji Island, was lost in just one meal? You were outclassed by that boy in just one meal?" Egg was still lying on the chair with his legs crossed. , but lucked into Lan Sheng with some vitality.
Lan Sheng froze when he heard this. The pride of his great master had already been torn apart by Jiang Yichen before the meal. Fortunately, the attack was not heavy-handed. After a meal, he was healed and almost forgotten. What kind of egg is this? Not to mention the pot, although his skin was as thick as a city wall, such words directly hit his self-esteem, which made him unbearable, so he reluctantly turned around and muttered: "Why did you say that? Why am I being raped?" Is this kid going to compete?"
"A problem that can be solved with silver taels is not a problem. Just for a meal, you can buy the reliable clues he needs to know urgently. Isn't it worth the money?" Egg asked.
"This meal is not cheap. Besides, how can he confirm that the information we provided is reliable? After all, our acting skills are so unreliable..." Lan Sheng shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Egg's statement.
"If you want a horse to run, feed it. This boy got lost with his companions. In order to avoid scurrying around like headless flies, he looked right and made the right bet. He knew that we might have the information he needed. , so they used us as a breakthrough point and fed us until we were full, betting that we would know everything after we were full." Egg analyzed it carefully.
"Hmm...well, not having enough food for a few days will indeed affect your thoughts, and you will be confused for a while, and you will fall behind. But, I said eggs, didn't the boss say that he would go to Yelangyuan to investigate in person today? , with our guidance like this, could it be that the two of them collided?" Lan Sheng vaguely covered up the embarrassing situation just now and mentioned another matter.
"If we hit him, we'll hit him. Is the boss still afraid of this kid?" Egg chuckled.
"Boss is not afraid, but..." Lan Sheng was at a loss for words.
"But what? Are you afraid that as soon as the two of them meet, the boss will kill this kid if he disagrees?" Egg seemed to know what Lan Sheng was thinking.
"Yes, I am worried too. After all, this kid is not a treacherous person. What's more, he even treated us to a full meal today. Alas!" Lan Sheng shook his head, feeling unbearable and annoyed with himself. This young man should be detained first, at least after today.
"Hee hee, this is a gift of a good meal, must it be remembered in your heart? Haha, don't worry, although this kid is young, he is not stupid. He has calculations in his heart and knows how to do things appropriately. If he notices something is wrong, he will He won't be able to deal with it and will definitely run away." Egg laughed.
"A ghost like you..." Lan Sheng looked at the egg with disdain and muttered softly.
This egg is about the same age as Jiang Yichen, but he is obviously an old cunning guy.
"Thank you." Egg replied.
…
Jiang Yichen did as Egg said and left after paying the bill. He was not the kind of person who was petty and vengeful. Now that he had obtained the information he needed, even though it was really heartbreaking to take away two banknotes. But this is a price that should be paid. As for the authenticity of the information, he has to verify it himself. Guessing is unrealistic and waiting will delay things. The only thing he can bet on is that the nature of the three people is not bad.
As for why he didn’t accept the help of the “Xijiang Bullies”, firstly, it was because he was on guard against others. After all, it was only his first time dealing with them and he was not familiar with them. It was hard to guarantee whether they would make any secret moves that he would have overlooked. , putting him in danger, and then Lan Sheng and Shu Tong's skills were not very good. Even though they had no ill intentions towards him, if the situation was critical, he could not ignore it. In this way, they Unstable factors will tie you up and become a burden.
After leaving Jianghe Tower, Jiang Yichen did not set off immediately and rushed to Yelangyuan. Although the search for the person was urgent, he should be fully prepared. After the battle at Danxia Villa, he did not want to experience that senseless feeling again. Be prepared for the despair and helplessness that comes with rushing in.
In Jianglin Town, I purchased some medicinal powder and other items that may be needed. I also took the opportunity to chat with vendors or shop owners to find out about Yelangyuan. After getting ready, I went to Yelangyuan.
When passing by the Yamen Gate, Jiang Yichen couldn't help laughing when he saw the reward notice posted on the bulletin board.
It was a portrait of a bald man with a beard. The strong appearance of the half-length portrait suggested that he was a warrior. He wrote a letter: "The bully of Xijiang - Angry Thunderbolt, recently robbed thousands of taels of silver from the official government. We have learned that he has committed robberies in Xijiang County within a few months." There have been dozens of robberies, which are lawless and unforgivable. If any chivalrous person captures and brings him to justice, he will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!" and other words.
It turns out that this is the real owner of the "Xijiang Bully". However, the content of the reward order mainly shows that this angry thunderbolt has offended the official authority, and the notice has just been announced. What this official has done is really embarrassing.
Looking away again, Jiang Yichen was surprised by a new announcement that appeared to be posted just today, "I would like to inform all my neighbors, in the past two days, I heard that there are people in the north of Guiye Valley, Yelangyuan and near Hejia Valley. Several groups of people are missing on the official road, and the reason is unknown. We also ask passing merchants to pay attention to their own safety. If anyone knows anything, please report it immediately."
It seems that not only the three groups of people he knew were missing, but no one reported the disappearance of the seven people who came from Taiji Village yesterday, which means that there were people in the Wild Wolf before that. The original place is missing, and the extra information on the announcement is Hejiagu. If the wild wolf finds nothing more from the original place, he can only go there for a walk.
…
Yelangyuan, as Lan Sheng said, is an uninhabited land with endless depressions and a swamp-like shape. It is just after noon, which should be considered a relatively sunny time in autumn. However, across the wild The two mountains between Langyuan and Jianglin Town really have the effect of blocking out the clouds and the sun. After passing the two mountains, the weather here is much darker than on the other side of the mountains, and the air is also duller. If If there is a thunder, it will cause heavy rain here in an instant.
Jiang Yichen did not go to the Tanlang Gang's base camp and went straight to Huanglong. His initial destination was an area in the Wild Wolf Plains.
The central area of Wild Wolf Plains.
Only after getting deeper can you realize that this place is no longer the flat land you can see from a distance. There are hills of various sizes and depressions of varying depths, making it difficult to take in the surrounding scenery.
Jiang Yichen seemed to be looking for something, and suddenly found a mound of more than ten feet high not far ahead. He was overjoyed and hurried forward.
It's not too difficult to just know where a gang's lair is, but if you want to know the gang's three cunning holes, you have to spend a lot of effort to find out the secrets.
If there is a secret door that can lead into the mound that is more than ten feet high in front of us, it will prove that what Lan Sheng and the others said is true. It can also explain from the side that Lan Sheng and Shu Tong came to this wild place. The purpose of going to Langyuan was definitely not to pick some kiwi fruits to treat illnesses. It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking. Therefore, Jiang Yichen's first destination after arriving in Yelangyuan was here to confirm the authenticity of their words.
