Jiang Wang followed the carriage bought by Marquis Bowang's residence and left Linzi City safely.
Actually, they didn't encounter any checks at all.
However, the Shadow Guard that Chung Geng Sheng assigned to lead the way left a deep impression on Jiang Wang.
He was the one who shouted that he had seen the true meaning of Dao during the opening of Taixu Corner Tower in Tianfu City …
He looked honest and considerate, otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by Chongxuan Fat.
When it came to working, he was actually very quiet. He only led the way without saying a single word.
Chung Geng Sheng mentioned that these Shadow Guards were trained by his uncle, Chongxuan Chu Liang. Jiang Wang had a lot of trust in their abilities and loyalty.
Biwu County was to the east of Linzi, so it wasn't far. They quickly arrived at their destination — a manor on the outskirts of Chifeng City, the capital of Biwu County.
It was a dark night with a bright moon, but there were a few spots of light in the sky.
The manor covered a large area, like a giant beast lurking in the shadows.
"Gongsun Yu and Yang Jing are good friends. After leaving the Longevity Palace, he lived here in seclusion." The Shadow Guard explained until here. Seeing Jiang Wang's blank face, he added, "Yang Jing is the younger brother of Biwu County's County Chief, Yang Luo."
What Jiang Wang didn't know was that Yang Jing had participated in the selection for the Yellow River Meeting. He had reached the Outer Tower at a young age and was considered the number one genius in Biwu County. However, he wasn't ranked in the entire Qi City. He didn't even have the chance to participate in the Master's Ceremony.
Of course, he understood the Shadow Guard's reminder and explained, "I just want to ask Gongsun Yu a few questions. There won't be any conflict."
The Shadow Guard said faintly, "I don't think you'll be visiting with a name card."
"Yes … I need to keep this a secret."
"Then it'll be difficult for there to be no conflict." The Shadow Guard was obviously very experienced. He handed over a layout map of the manor and said, "Gongsun Yu hasn't stepped out since he came here. He doesn't see any guests and few people know he's here. This manor was Yang Jing's property. Usually, he would only stay there for a while during hunting season. It was very quiet. Gongsun Yu's room has been marked out on the map. When you visit her, just make sure to be quiet. "
Jiang Wang took the map and found that the information was indeed very detailed. He had put in a lot of effort into gathering information. While looking, he asked, "I still don't know your name. How should I address you?"
"Green Brick." The shadow guard didn't explain the meaning of this name and only said, "I will stand guard outside for you. Every fifteen minutes, there would be two bird calls, which meant that everything was normal. The three consecutive bird calls meant that something unexpected had happened and they needed to leave. If there's no sound for more than half an hour, then I'm dead. "
There wasn't anything wrong with this reminder, but the word "death" was too common for Chu Yang to say …
It was as if he was saying that if he was hungry, he would eat by himself.
It could only be said that the soldiers trained by Xiong Tu were indeed not ordinary.
Jiang Wang wanted to say, "I'm just going to have a chat. There's no need to be so nervous." But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end. He took the layout of the manor and flipped into the garden.
He had spent so much effort to sneak into Biwu County.
How could he say that there was no need to be nervous?
…
The county governor of Biwu County, Yang Luo, was at the peak of the Outer Building. Being able to become a county governor of an overlord country like Qi was naturally not comparable to ordinary cultivators of the same level. With the help of the seal of Biwu County, his combat power couldn't be underestimated.
Only places like the three counties of Yangdi, which were newly attached, could give people like Huang Yixing a chance. Of course, he had always been a town commissioner and hadn't had the time to become a county governor.
However, for Jiang Wang now, being a county governor at the peak of the Outer Building meant that there was no other official in the entire Biwu County who could compete with him.
Therefore, Jiang Wang sneaked into the manor with a very relaxed attitude.
It wasn't that no one in Biwu County was his opponent except for Yang Luo. For example, there was the former prime minister in Beihai County, the Li family in Shimen County, and the Tian family in Daze County … Of course, there were some people living in seclusion in Biwu County, but those people wouldn't appear here.
This manor, which Yang Jing used to stay in when he was hunting, had been decorated with great care. The rockery and winding corridor were very well designed. The decorations weren't extravagant, but they were just right.
Jiang Wang wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. Following the map, he quickly found the courtyard where Gongsun Yu lived.
The courtyard was very small and the layout was simple and unsophisticated. At a glance, it was very simple and there was nothing extra.
The manor was very quiet at night. Only the light in Gongsun Yu's bedroom was lit.
Jiang Wang thought for a while and didn't hide anything. He directly pushed the door open and entered.
A man with a tall hat and wide belt with an elegant temperament was sitting cross-legged on a stone couch.
Unlike many places in Qi, Biwu County had the custom of sleeping on stone couches. No one knew how it came to be.
Qi had expanded and become the overlord of the Eastern Region. It had swallowed many countries along the way. Therefore, there were many customs in the country that couldn't be traced.
The stone couch was very large and could be roughly divided into two halves.
The half that Gongsun Yu was sitting on was covered with a pillow and a short table in front of him. On the right side of the short table was a pile of books. They were all very old. It was obvious that reading under the light at night had become a habit.
On the upper left corner of the short table was a candlestick shaped like a pine tree. It was of extraordinary quality. The candlelight was still, giving off a warm and peaceful feeling.
Jiang Wang didn't conceal himself when he walked in. Therefore, he naturally sensed the movement and looked up.
He was holding a book in his hand. The pages were open and faintly yellowed.
He recognized Jiang Wang.
On Mount Yunwu, Jiang Wang blew up the sea of clouds with the Eight Tones Flame Sparrow. It was impossible for him to forget.
However, he didn't seem to be surprised. He just looked at Jiang Wang quietly and cast a questioning look.
Under the control of the Immortal State of Sound, the sound in the room wouldn't leak out.
"How long have you been here?" Jiang Wang asked.
Gongsun Yu just looked at him and didn't say anything.
Jiang Wang realized that he had asked a stupid question. If he could find out where Gongsun Yu was living, how could he not know when he moved in?
"I came to find you because I have some questions to ask you. I hope you can help me, "Jiang Wang said directly.
Gongsun Yu still just looked at him.
He didn't even move the book in his hand. He was as silent as a statue.
He was a disciple of a famous family.
Among the scholars, he was known for his eloquence and was known as the "Sharp Tongue Sword."
A taciturn disciple of a famous family. It couldn't be said that it wasn't a kind of irony.
He still remembered that on Mount Yunwu, this person was very eloquent and eloquent. How long had it been? How could he be so taciturn?
What on earth had happened?
Jiang Wang vaguely felt that the answer he was looking for might be in it. How could Gongsun Yu not know the secrets that Feng Gu knew?
"Can you tell me why you left the Longevity Palace?" Jiang Wang asked.
Gongsun Yu's eyelids drooped slightly, but he still didn't answer.
Jiang Wang didn't want to give him any pressure. He sat down on the tea stool and poured himself a cup of herbal tea. He said slowly, "I didn't see you at the Eleventh Prince's funeral."
Gongsun Yu was expressionless.
Jiang Wang took a sip of tea and continued, "You were the Eleventh Prince's confidant, the person he trusted the most …"
He put down the teacup and looked at Gongsun Yu. "Do you think the Eleventh Prince had any regrets when he left? Do you want to help him make up for his regrets? "
Gongsun Yu suddenly smiled. It was a bitter smile. He smiled and shook his head.
Jiang Wang didn't know for a moment whether he was shaking his head because of the first question or the second question.
"Although the Eleventh Prince has left, I think maybe we can do something …" Jiang Wang said, "Are you willing to share with me what you know?"
Gongsun Yu looked at Jiang Wang quietly and suddenly opened his mouth. His mouth was wide open, opened in a very undignified way. People could see that … there was only half a tongue in his mouth!
His tongue was broken!
A disciple of a famous family losing his tongue was like a swordsman losing his sword.
This was the part that he should be most proud of and rely on the most.
Who cut off his tongue?
"Who did it?" Jiang Wang heard his voice was a little dry.
But Gongsun Yu just looked at him.
His mouth was closed.
The scholar behind the candlestick seemed to have had all his desire to communicate taken away by the broken tongue.
Jiang Wang asked, "Can we communicate by writing?"
Gongsun Yu shook his head.
"Or I can ask you a few questions. You can nod or shake your head."
Gongsun Yu didn't move his head. He just looked at Jiang Wang.
In his eyes, there was only silence that kept people a thousand miles away.
He didn't want to say anything. He wouldn't say anything.
Jiang Wang sighed and said, "Do you know that Feng Gu is dead? Three feet of white silk was hung in the mourning hall of the Eleventh Prince. "
These words seemed to finally touch Gongsun Yu. He reached into his sleeve …
He took out a dagger and gently threw it at Jiang Wang's feet.
His left hand lifted the corner of his right sleeve and made a gesture of invitation.
This was his last expression tonight.
His meaning was clear.
He wouldn't say anything.
Either leave or kill him.
Jiang Wang was silent for a while. He picked up the dagger on the ground, got up, and walked forward.
This bedroom was no more than twelve steps away.
The distance between him and Gongsun Yu was no more than six steps.
If he wanted to kill Gongsun Yu, it wouldn't take more than a breath. Whether Gongsun Yu resisted or not, it wouldn't affect this time.
One was the world-famous young Tianjiao. The other was a famous disciple and was once a prominent figure in Linzi City.
Before today, they had only met once.
There was almost no other interaction between them.
After parting at Yunwu Mountain, each of them was too different.
In this world, everyone was going through their own life.
It was just that Jiang Wang's magnificent life was sung all over the world.
Gongsun Yu's raging waves were all swallowed by that half-broken tongue.
Over and over again, he chewed alone.
Gongsun Yu gently closed his eyes. He was very calm.
He had no regrets and no complaints.
But he only heard a soft sound. It was the sound of the dagger gently knocking on the low table.
He opened his eyes. There was no one in front of him.
Only the dagger on the low table proved that the person had indeed been here.
…
…
After leaving Gongsun Yu's courtyard, he removed the sound seal.
Jiang Wang's face was expressionless. He just went back the way he came. He jumped out of the manor and met up with the Shadow Guard named Green Brick.
The constant chirping of birds indicated that nothing unusual had happened outside the manor under the surveillance of Green Brick.
There was a mountain forest not far from the south of the manor. Green Brick was hiding in it. Controlling the chirping of birds didn't seem out of place.
Jiang Wang moved like the wind, brushing through the night. But he suddenly stopped in front of the mountain forest.
He put his hand on his sword.
"I don't have any evil intentions. I just want to find an old friend. I didn't hurt anyone or damage the manor. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the manor and check, "he said in a gentle tone." Please don't hurt the people I brought with me. "
"You're good at controlling birds, but the chirping is too regular."
A young man of medium height carrying a bow and a sword walked out from the shadows of the mountain forest. He looked at Jiang Wang with his sharp eyes. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Yang Jing."
The chirping of birds stopped.
The moonlight was dim, and the night was windless.
"I'm Jiang Wang." Jiang Wang kept his distance. He cupped his hands and said, "I came uninvited tonight. I'm sorry for being presumptuous. Please forgive me, Young Master Yang. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please tell me. "
Yang Jing looked at him and said, "I've heard a lot about you!"
Two cultivators in tight robes walked out of the forest. They escorted Green Brick, who was tied up.
Judging from the young man's bruised and swollen face, he obviously suffered a bit. But fortunately, he wasn't injured, and his cultivation was fine.
"My name is not worth mentioning." Jiang Wang said, "There are twenty-eight friends in the forest. Why don't you come out together so I can get to know you all?"
Then, one black figure after another walked out of the forest.
Each of them had a saber on their waist. They had a cold temperament and vaguely formed a military formation.
The Yang family could take root in Biwu County for so long. Although it wasn't a famous family, it was not to be underestimated.
Yang Jing smiled carelessly. "How did you guess it was me and not some other trouble you caused?"
"If it was some other trouble I caused, I wouldn't have noticed it," Jiang Wang explained calmly and said, "Please give me a chance to make up for my offense."
"That won't be necessary." Yang Jing raised his chin, and his subordinates loosened Qing Shi's tie.
He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "My friend is fine, and so are your people."
Jiang Wang said sincerely, "Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Yang."
"My friend doesn't want to see guests. I hope there won't be a next time."
"If there is a next time, I'll give you my name card first," Jiang Wang said.
"I won't see you out."
"Then we won't disturb you any longer." Jiang Wang cupped his hands and left with the shadow guard named Green Brick.
"Are we letting them go just like that?" Looking at the backs of the two men, one of his subordinates approached and asked.
"What else can we do?" Yang Jing sighed. "That's Jiang Qingyang!"
"But this is Biwu County," the subordinate said.
"Biwu County is very small, but the world is very big!" Yang Jing shook his head. "Looks like it's time for Brother Gongsun to change his residence …"
…
…
"Does it still hurt?" Jiang Wang asked as they walked on the road.
Green Brick grinned. "It's nothing. But because of me … your whereabouts were still exposed. "
"He won't tell anyone." Jiang Wang said confidently. "Judging from Yang Jing's attitude tonight, it wasn't easy for you to find this place."
Green Brick said calmly, "We'll do whatever Young Master Sheng asks us to do."
Jiang Wang thought of Green Brick's exaggerated exclamation of the true meaning of Dao …
He couldn't help but ask, "Are you all from the military?"
"Ah, yes," Green Brick said. "We were … trained under Lord Xiong Tu."
"There are no weak soldiers under the command of a famous general!" Jiang Wang praised.
Green Brick was probably not used to being praised. He asked, "Are we going back to Linzi now?"
Jiang Wang looked at the sky and sighed.
"We can only go back to Linzi."
