Time is on the side of Qian Chao and the other five people. Not only Qian Chao and the others know this, but Lou Qingyao, Zhang Yi and Zong Xi are also very clear about it.
Time is even in Shangguanhong's favor. The current situation is that as long as Qian Chao and the others are not in a hurry and take their time, after Lou Qingyao has to leave the Wuling Sect and return to the Lion Grove in a while, that sect and Tang Ping will The only one competing for Qingluan's egg is Shangguan Hong.
In other words, Qian Chao and the five people actually have the initiative now. They can ignore Lou Qingyao and wait for him to leave Wuling Sect. Even Shangguan Hong, they have ways to deal with it. There is only one thing that makes them have to deal with it. Before Lou Qingyao left, they had promised the Chao family to save Jinglu. In fact, this matter was also for themselves. As long as Jinglu was saved, no matter whether Jinglu accepted the favor or not, Jinglu in the clan would This will definitely ease the hatred towards the five of them. This is what the five of them value most.
Lou Qingyao has been restless lately, urging Zong Xi and Zhang Yi almost every day to find a way, but the initiative is not in his hands, what good solution can these two people come up with, and even if he is still anxious, Lou Qing It is impossible for Yao to go to Qian Chao and urge him to quickly go to the forbidden area to look for Qingluan's eggs, so that she can have a chance to snatch them from Qian Chao and others.
So after ending the incident in Hanchichi, Zhang Yi stepped up his surveillance of Qian Chao. His people were closely watching Qian Chao's every move, day or night. Well, he could only keep an eye on Qian Chao. Following Qian Chao, the other four people all lived in the caves of their respective masters. Zhang Yi did not have the guts to send people to keep an eye on the caves of the four Dan-Jie seniors, and his men did not dare to do so, so they could only keep a close eye on them. Qian Chao, even when Qian Chao stayed in his residence and did nothing, there were always a few pairs of eyes staring at him near his house.
Qian Chao naturally knew this.
Qian Chao knew that now was the opportunity. Zhang Yi and others were anxious, so he might as well make them more anxious. If the other party wanted to know what he was going to do next, then he wouldn't let them know. Since he was being watched closely, then If they fail to keep an eye on them a few times, it will definitely make them even more panicked.
Every day, people kept reporting to Zhang Yi the trends of the money tide. However, it has been a while since he came back from Haogu Valley. Qian Chao basically stays in his own residence on weekdays. Most of the time, he is bored in his room. Zhang Yi heard that Qian Chao's residence was given to him by others. The previous owner set up a fire eye underground. Qian Chao was probably refining weapons when there was no movement in the residence; sometimes Qian Chao would sit in the small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard and read, with a stove next to him cooking tea. He sat leisurely with a book for half a day; of course, sometimes Qian Chao would go out. This was the time when Zhang Yi's spies were most nervous, but they often found that Qian Chao went either to the inner hall of Chengqi Hall or to the Nine Halls. He would wander around the small market in Xuan Nei for a long time, carefully selecting some weapon refining materials and buying them.
In addition, Zhang Yi also heard that a guy named Buyan Nong also went to Qian Chao's place. The utensils are all sold by Tuo Buyan in Ruixuan Town. What's more, the other four people will go to Qian Chao's residence regularly. Those five people spend most of their time in the room when they get together. What they said and did is not something Zhang Yi can know.
What made Zhang Yi more and more irritated was that according to the usual practice, it was already time for Qian Chao and the five people to go out, but the boy became more and more unhurried and showed no signs of going out. There are signs. It seems that Qian Chao already knows that Lou Qingyao will return to Lion Forest. Is he waiting?
After Lou Qingyao leaves the Wuling Sect, will those five people spend their time and energy looking for the Qingluan Egg?
If this is really the case, it will be a very unfavorable situation for Zhang Yi, because with Lou Qingyao leaving, he will lose Zong Xi, a powerful helper. With Lou Qingyao gone, Zong Xi will lose at least most of his continued support. The reason for paying the tide is that it is impossible to deal with the tide of money together like now. In that case, Zhang Yi will probably be the only one left to deal with the tide of money. He doesn't want the situation to end up like this. .
The best way to get rid of Qian Chao is within the sect, taking advantage of the opponent's Qi refining stage, otherwise it will be even harder to succeed when the five people arrive outside the sect after building the foundation.
But it's useless to be anxious, because the initiative is not in Zhang Yi's hands.
…
Finally one day, things seemed to have changed. At almost midnight that day, someone came to see Zhang Yi according to Zhang Yi's previous instructions. At that time, Zhang Yi was nervous and tired from the past day and had already fallen asleep, but the person who came said that he was here. Qian Chao went out quietly just now.
Zhang Yi immediately became alert after hearing this. His sleepiness disappeared instantly. What would Qian Chao do when he went out in the middle of the night?
After careful questioning, he immediately went out to check.
It is said that Qian Chao was sneaky when he went out. He was reading in the room late at night, yawned and then turned off the lights in the room. After a while, those who followed him thought Qian Chao had fallen asleep. Only then did I suddenly realize that he quietly opened the door and walked out. He looked around in the yard for a while, and then he seemed to make sure that nothing was wrong before he flew up and flew straight towards the sect's exit.
What would Qian Chao do in the middle of the night?
Is it possible that the other four, Tang Ping and Li Jian, have already gathered and are waiting for him, and these five people want to sneak out under the cover of night?
If this is the case, then it is time to inform Lou Qingyao and Zong Xi, as well as those from Ruixuan Town, to bring them in to work together.
While thinking about this, he speeded up his movement and chased Qian Chao in the direction. Just when Zhang Yi was hesitating whether to send people to find Zong Xi and Lou Qingyao, he suddenly saw a figure in the distance under the night sky. Oncoming!
Zhang Yi has been targeting Qian Chao for a long time, and his familiarity with Qian Chao has long surpassed that of anyone else. In addition to being able to distinguish Qian Chao's voice immediately no matter how far away he is, he can also recognize Qian Chao's figure at a glance. He recognized it, so he recognized it immediately: the person coming towards him was Qian Chao!
Didn't you say that the money tide is going out?
Why did it come back again, and it was still directed at me?
Is this a showdown with yourself?
In shock, Zhang Yi immediately dropped his figure and disappeared into the darkness of the nearby forest. Then he watched Qian Chao fly over without stopping. Then he followed him cautiously, only to realize that Qian Chao actually returned to his residence.
Full of suspicion, Zhang Yi personally stared at Qian Chao's residence for a while. There were no lights in the small building and it was quiet. It seemed that Qian Chao had really fallen asleep this time.
But who can guarantee whether this kid will do it again? What if Qian Chao makes another fuss tonight when he really goes out?
Zhang Yi didn't want to gamble, so he watched it personally.
But what is Qian Chao... doing?
Did he do this on purpose because he sensed someone was watching?
Or was he trying to find out who was watching him?
They entered the forbidden area several times. With Zhang Yi and others watching, and Shangguanhong following them into the forbidden area, Qian Chao must have become suspicious.
Zhang Yi stared at the small building where Qian Chao lived and thought.
It may even be that in the past few days, Qian Chao and the others were going out again, but they were worried, so Qian Chao wanted to test to see if anyone was watching them?
Zhang Yi was suspicious, and all kinds of ideas seemed possible to him, but no matter what, Qian Chao slept peacefully in the small building all night, but Zhang Yi left a little tired before dawn.
In the following days, Qian Chao would do this at night every once in a while, making Zhang Yi exhausted, including his men.
After a while, because Qian Chao always did this, when the spies arranged by Zhang Yi saw Qian Chao quietly going out at night, they thought that Qian Chao was deliberately doing this again. It was very likely that this guy would be at the exit of the sect. When they turned back and were thinking about not telling Zhang Yi about this matter, Qian Chao unexpectedly rushed out of the sect. Now those people panicked, and some people quickly continued to follow Qian Chao. Others immediately went to find Zhang Yi, but when Zhang Yi arrived in a hurry, Qian Chao actually came back from outside the clan in a grand manner, and then went directly back to his residence to sleep.
After a while, these people thought that Qian Chao would only do this once at night. When they saw Qian Chao going out in the middle of the night, they simply wanted to stop reporting the matter to Zhang Yi. But later, Qian Chao actually got over it after doing this once. Not long after, he came out of his residence and rushed to the sect's exit. This time, Zhang Yi's informants lined up nearby were confused. They thought that Qian Chao was really going out this time, so they hurried to notify Zhang Yi. , but Qian Chao still turned back again, and Zhang Yi was so angry that he wanted to catch up with Qian Chao and curse.
There was even one time when Qian Chao was struggling like this. Zhang Yi hid a little late, as if Qian Chao had seen through Xingzang. When he just found a place to hide and hide, Qian Chao came straight over. , he stopped right above Zhang Yi's hiding place, walked around there twice, deliberately stayed there for a while, and finally sneered before returning to his residence to sleep.
Zhang Yi was really angry that time. How could he still not understand that Qian Chao probably knew that he was staring at him, and that he was deliberately playing tricks on him, just to make them less busy? Nothing gained.
That time, Zhang Yi was staring at the small building with no lights outside Qian Chao's residence. Suddenly, something moved in his heart. He thought that every time Qian Chao was doing this, all his hands would follow Qian Chao. In that case, , no one will be watching Qian Chao's residence anymore, just in case... Qian Chao who came out of it was a fake, and he attracted everyone, including Zhang Yi himself, if Qian Chao was really at this time He just came out of his small building, and if he left the sect through other exits when no one was watching, then there would be something wrong even if his people were keeping a close eye on him.
Always find an opportunity to test your ideas.
Then Zhang Yi started looking for someone to do it, but Qian Chao's residence was in the sect. The rules in the sect were very strict. If you break into someone else's house without permission, you would be suspected of stealing or doing other evil, and you would be severely punished by the sect. , not to mention the person who broke into Qian Chao's residence.
Nowadays, Qian Chao is quite famous among the disciples in the sect, and many people stay away from him. Therefore, it is not easy for Zhang Yi to find such a guy. He mentioned the benefits again and again, and finally he died under the bait. fish.
The opportunity finally came. One night someone reported that Qian Chao was making trouble again. Zhang Yi immediately became energetic when he heard it. He did not follow Qian Chao's movements, but hurriedly came to Qian Chao's residence. Outside, many of his people followed Qian Chao out. It was quiet in the small building. Those who stayed there said that there had been no movement here since Qian Chao left, and there was no other Qian Chao quietly coming from the room as Zhang Yi imagined. Something happened that came out and went in the other direction.
But Zhang Yi was worried and still asked people to take advantage of Qian Chao's absence to go to his small building to see what was going on. If there was really no one in the small building, then the person who just left might be the real person. Tide of money.
The two guys who took advantage of Zhang Yi were a little timid after all. Under Zhang Yi's repeated urging, they had to quietly fall into Qian Chao's yard. They quietly approached the main entrance of the small building. When he was about to push the door, his feet suddenly went weak and they all collapsed on the ground. This shocked Zhang Yi. At first, he thought his guess was right. Qian Chao, who was hiding in the room, took action and knocked down the two men. There was no movement at all when the two people fell, and there was no sound of anyone taking action. Moreover, the door of the small building was still closed tightly, and no one came out after opening it.
Only then did Zhang Yi understand that Qian Chao had arranged a formation in his residence. The two people must have been trapped by the formation. Just as he was about to think of a way to rescue them, Qian Chao had already returned. In desperation, he had to let people retreat. Then hide it.
When Qian Chaoluo entered his yard and saw two people lying in front of his door, he was slightly startled. Then he took a closer look curiously, stretched out his foot and kicked it gently, and then ignored him and went straight back. I went to sleep in the room.
That night, Zhang Yi's people not only failed to rescue the two unlucky ghosts, but two more people got in, and they lay upright on the ground until dawn.
Zhang Yi also stared there all night. He thought that those two guys were going to be unlucky. Qian Chao would definitely report them to the sect, and they would be severely punished next. This gave Zhang Yi a headache.
Just when Zhang Yi was thinking wildly, someone told him that Tang Ping, Yanxuan, Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian all came to Qian Chao's residence one after another. Those people arrived one after another. Except for those lying in front of Qian Chao's door, they He was so curious that he was indifferent except for looking at them. He raised his legs and walked over those people, then closed the door and didn't know what to do.
Qian Chao's residence is relatively remote, and there are not many people passing by. It is for this reason that the four or five people lying motionless in the yard did not attract people's attention.
That day, it wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and dusk was approaching that the few people walked out of Qian Chao's small building. The big man named Lu Pingchuan laughed and groped around on those people and put them He snatched away all the storage bags on his body, and then picked them up one by one and threw them out of the Qianchao courtyard wall, as if he didn't intend to pursue them.
Even so, those guys still lay down for a while before they managed to stand up tremblingly while holding on to the wall. This experience had already scared these guys out of their wits, and they all ran away with pale faces, supporting each other.
