"How is this going?"
Hangshan's expression changed from shock to confusion. He clearly remembered that before he and Yan You could figure out how to get out of the previous situation, they were affected by some force and entered a state of confusion.
With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but turn his head and look around, and then he found three people in the room, lying, sitting or standing, each with different postures:
In the corner of the room, Xu Gan's clothes were stained with blood, his eyes were closed, and he was lying there, with his chest rising and falling slightly. On the opposite side, Yan You was leaning on the chair crookedly, with his head slightly drooping, his right palm pressed between his eyebrows, and he kneaded it vigorously. pinch.
And at the window, there was a figure standing upright, facing away from the three of them.
At this time, as Hangshan's eyes swept across, the figure seemed to be aware of it. He turned around and glanced at Hangshan:
"you're awake."
"Thank you, senior." Seeing Jiang Yan, the doubts that had just arisen in Hangshan's heart immediately dissipated, and many things became clear at once. He knew that it was this senior who saved the two of them.
Jiang Yan nodded lightly:
"It doesn't matter."
After saying this, without waiting for Hangshan's response, he looked past the two of them and towards Xu Gan, and moved his mouth:
"He suffered some kind of slow poison, which is not life-threatening, but it will take some time to recover."
"That's good, that's good."
After confirming that he was fine and clearly understanding Xu Gan's condition, Hangshan was completely relieved.
"Senior, what should we do next?"
At this time, Yan You stood up and asked proactively. He was asking about the actions after the exploration meeting.
"Two choices."
Jiang Yan found a chair at random and leaned on it. The chair creaked loudly. He withdrew his eyes from Xu Gan and expressed his thoughts:
"First, the three of you disbanded the exploration meeting. Where did you come from and where did you go back."
Then, he immediately added:
"The Golden Silkworm Gang is not just a simple gang merger, it may involve some hidden force or individual.
"Well, I don't want to mess with that either."
Therefore, the disbandment of the Exploration Association is to protect the three of us. It involves high-ranking powerful people. Perhaps a trivial aftermath will make it difficult for the three of us to resist, and we may even die.
Yan You smiled bitterly and did not ask about the details, but turned his attention in another direction:
"Senior, which is the second path you have prepared for us?"
He was still unwilling to give up. After all, he had finally interacted with a "big shot" of Jiang Yan's level. How could he give up like this?
"the second."
Jiang Yan's voice suddenly became ethereal, and he could only be heard saying: "In a few days, I will leave Yehuai and go to Nanyan. If you are interested, you can follow me there."
Going to Nanyan... Yan You was stunned when he heard Jiang Yan's words. He was a native and had been living in Duwang City before. This was Ye Huai's first time here.
And Nanyanzhou City is too far away from Yehuai.
"I won't leave immediately, you still have time to think about it."
In fact, leaving Yehuai and heading to Nanyan was just Jiang Yan's sudden thought, and it didn't last more than an hour.
"It's time to take a closer look at this world, not just for higher-level cultivation methods."
…
…
After Jiang Yan left, Hangshan and Yan You changed the comatose Xu Gan into a more comfortable environment. Then, the two began to seriously discuss Jiang Yan's suggestions.
"What should I do? Do you want to follow Senior Jiang to develop in Nanyanzhou?" Hangshan said directly, but his tone was erratic.
"I didn't think it through either."
He never expected that Jiang Yan actually planned to go to Nanyanzhou City. Yan You frowned and made an assumption:
"If you really go to Zhoucheng, it will be like starting from scratch. Besides, with the current cultivation level of the three of us..."
Even in Yehuai, the strength of the three of them is not enough. They are small warriors and are easily ignored. In Nanyanzhou City, they are not worth mentioning.
To develop power in that place, you can find some "difficulties" just by imagining it.
"Well, we can still wait for this matter, and there is still time to analyze the pros and cons... However, Senior Jiang still has reservations about the Golden Silkworm Gang. We cannot know all the details, but we can also judge that there is something deeply hidden in it. kind of danger.
In addition, there should be a follow-up to this matter. "
Yan You let out a long sigh, pressed his eyebrows vigorously, then turned his head and looked at his friend who was sleeping and didn't know when he would really wake up:
"Take care of this guy first!"
…
…
late at night.
A light rain enveloped the night locust trees, making the entire city inevitably blend into the mist, making it vague and hazy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the dull sound echoed, two watchmen in raincoats and wide round hats walked together through the narrow alley and came to a spacious and clean road composed of bluestone slabs of the same size.
"Hai Shi has passed, turn off the lights and close the doors!"
"Hai Shi has passed, turn off the lights and close the doors!"
The watchman kept banging the gong in his hand, and at the same time walked westward along this large path. After walking about five miles, he stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.
This is a temporary residence designed by the government to provide a short rest for these "public servants" walking at night.
The two skillfully opened the courtyard door, walked into the house, lit the oil lamp, shut out the cold rain, and drove away the darkness here.
"Brother Wang, drink."
Under the light, the faces of the two people who entered the room were clearly reflected. They were both men. Among them, the older one had black hair and black eyes. He took off his raincoat and wore a black and gray gown underneath, which had no features.
The younger one was wearing a set of dark green bodysuits and a not-too-thick scarf around his neck.
At this moment, the slightly younger man took out a bottle of wine from his pocket like a magic trick, then went to the cabinet in the corner of the room, took out two cups stained with oil, and diligently poured wine for the other person.
"You kid, you are really..."
The man known as "Brother Wang" did not refuse the other party's kindness. He asked the young man to sit down, held the cup in front of him, and took a sip.
"Brother Wang, I'm new here, so I hope you can give me some advice."
The young man poured wine for the man surnamed Wang for the second time and said kind words.
"Easy to say, easy to say." The man surnamed Wang was persuaded to have another drink. His face slowly turned rosy, and he also had some desire to speak. He cleared his throat and said in a neither loud nor soft voice:
"You are so polite, so I won't hesitate. I will tell you what we, the night watchers, need to pay attention to on a daily basis."
The young man was immediately attracted by his words, and his expression became focused. Observing this, the man surnamed Wang nodded with satisfaction and began to talk about the key points:
"Our watchmen need to make five updates in one night, one at Xu hour, two at Hai hour, three at Zi hour, four at Chou hour, and five at Yin hour.
"Among them, the first and second updates are normal. Just follow the official rules. The key point is the third and fourth updates. If it is not necessary and there is no one to supervise, it is best not to go out.
Well, just rest here until five o'clock, and then go out again when the sky gets hazy..."
"Why? I remember Master Ding mentioned something. If someone is found to be lazy and is investigated, his salary will be deducted!" Before the man named Wang could finish speaking, the young man interrupted him instinctively and asked.
"Ding Chen?"
The man named Wang raised his chin slightly, spat hard, and his voice became high-pitched:
"He counted a few numbers and checked his farts. By this time, this bastard had already fallen asleep."
After saying this, the man named Wang had a sneer on his lips. He looked at the young man and said:
"Do you know why I don't go out during the third or fourth watch?"
Before the young man could respond, he spoke to himself:
“The first watch and the second watch are more human, the third watch and the fourth watch are ghosts, and the fifth watch are chickens.
"The third watch and the fourth watch are in the middle of the night, which is the darkest hour of the night. The darkness is enough to swallow everything. This time is the most chaotic and disorderly time in Yehuai, where thieves steal, gangs fight, and murders seek revenge.
Even the legendary weirdness is more likely to appear during this period. "
After listening to his words, the young man couldn't help but become frightened. For a moment, he didn't dare to look out the window anymore. He only felt that it was full of unknown dangers.
