Chapter 14 Peach Valley Forest
The voice was so loud that a man was very proud. An old man with white hair but solemn temperament walked into the house. After adding another person to the small house, he seemed a little cramped.
"I have heard your analysis outside, and you can remember these words in the future. You have to close the door and say them. There are ears in the partition walls, so you have to be careful." The old man's words were unquestionable. Seeing Mu Rongjing and Liu Menghen respectfully agreed to the old man, Jiang Yichen also agreed.
"Okay, the room is small, come with me outside." The old man said again.
There were two people waiting outside the door. One of them had a greasy face, a headband wrapped around his bare head, and a rough linen cloth dress on his body. It looked very casual, and his face seemed a bit similar to the white-haired old man. One of them had a white dress with a sword and a black cloth cloak, which seemed to be in a knight's outfit.
Murong Jing introduced to Jiang Yichen that the shiny face Qi Shanqing was the largest wine merchant in Taoyuan Town and the nephew of the mayor of Taoyuan Town. The young man in white clothes and swords was named Qiu Yingchu, and the young guard in the town. The white-haired old man was naturally Qi Tianwen, the head of Taoyuan Town. Jiang Yichen had seen you all as a junior.
"As we are sure of what tricks the other party uses, we will use the trick and ask you to get into the trap. You four of you must make corresponding arrangements for the specific matters." Mayor Qi arranged the arrangements, then paused and looked at Jiang Yichen.
"Senior Qi, if you need anything to go down, please give me some instructions." Jiang Yichen was a little panicked, but also a little excited. This was also an opportunity to experience the world.
"We have to thank my brother for their help this time, but now we only have a few clues, and the rest are mostly analysis and speculation. At present, we still need to confirm the inferences using various methods."
"The arrangement and operation of specific actions, such as checking the pottery workshops in Jiangning County and Gusu, there are some special customized orders recently, etc. It will take some time to do these so that the opponent does not notice them at all. I wonder if the little brother has other important things to do. If possible, of course, I welcome the little brother to help." Mayor Qi changed his face and smiled.
Mayor Qi's performance surprised the four people next to him. When did our Mayor Qi be so kind? When would our Mayor Qi be so patient and explain to a little kid so carefully? When would our Mayor Qi actually laugh? He will laugh! He will laugh!
Jiang Yichen had something important to do, so he had to see the old man first within the 20-day period, and the task of exploring Qianzhulin was only arranged along the way. Mayor Qi's words were completely leaked, which made Jiang Yichen silence.
Seeing that Jiang Yichen was completely killed by the mayor, Murong Jing guessed that Jiang Yichen had just left Xishan Island and came to Jiangning County to find the old man. He was whispering the "Smiling Old Fox" in his heart, and then he flashed out to save Jiang Yichen. He smiled and said to Mayor Qi, "Boss Qi, Brother Jiang still has something important to do, so he should go to Juyuan to find the old man first. In this way, let him rest in the town for two days first, and I will take him to see the old man, as if he would thank him for his help this time."
Murong Jing originally thought that he could be so smooth after smiling and smoothing out. Qi Tianwen's deep eyes shot into Murong Jing's eyes, and only then did he realize that he had kicked the stone slab this time.
"Ah, then I'll take Brother Jiang to play in the town for a day and send him away tomorrow." Murong Jing guessed that the old fox knew more about the inside story than himself. Since that's the case, I'd better get out quickly and ask for more blessings.
Qi Tianwen didn't say much and agreed. Except for Murong Jing, the other four people left after saying goodbye to Jiang Yichen.
Murong Jing treated Jiang Yichen with delicious food and drinks for a whole day. The next day, he brought Liu Menghen to the town gate to see him off. At the same time, he also handed over the small brown horse and bags he ordered from Majiayi to Jiang Yichen yesterday.
"Brother Jiang, you must not disobey your order, so we can only send it here, don't mind." Murong Jing smiled and pretended to be almost like Mayor Qi's loving smile, which made Jiang Yichen laugh directly.
"Brother Murong is serious. I won't say much to thank you. Thank you and Brother Liu for coming to see me today. Uh, there will be a date later." Jiang Yichen would not say much to thank you, and he would not say much if he said goodbye. The farewell scene was a bit awkward, but I was really grateful to the two of them, especially Murong Jing, who thought that after seeing the old man, he would come back to Taoyuan Town and get together with them with the opportunity.
"Haha, little brother, there will be a time later. Come on!" Liu Menghen, a thick man, didn't feel embarrassed, and he could even encourage Jiang Yichen.
"That's right, right, there will be a date later. Let's stop drunk when we get together!" Murong Jing immediately made up.
Jiang Yichen was stepping on the horse, and Murong Jing's words "I'll stop after getting drunk" almost made him roll off the horse's back, which also caused Murong Jing and Liu Menghen to burst into laughter.
When they said goodbye to the two, they were about to leave, they were stopped by Murong Jing.
"Hey! Brother Jiang, go here." Murong Jing seemed to have been in a state of confusion for a long time and made a very important decision, pointing to Jiang Yichen in the direction that was completely opposite to the chrysanthemum garden.
"Here? Shouldn't Juyuan go there?" Jiang Yichen looked puzzled.
"Juyuan is walking there, but this time you listen to me and walk here, first go to the Peach Valley Forest. If you find the way to go up the mountain in the forest, you will walk up the mountain. If you can't find it, you will retreat back to the juyuan, which will not take a few days." Murong Jing persuaded with great sincerity.
"But my destination is Juyuan, and it is not easy to go to Taogu Youlin. Brother Murong needs his service? But it doesn't matter." Jiang Yichen asked Murong Jing seriously without doubting him.
"Hehe, little brother, it's rumored that if you can find the way to go up the mountain in the secluded forest of Taogu, you will have a great opportunity. Brother Murong is also out of good intentions, thinking that the brothers are good, or that they can gain something there." Knowing Murong Jing's intention, but afraid that he would reveal too much that he shouldn't say, Liu Menghen quickly saved the scene.
"It's so. I still have plenty of time to go to the chrysanthemum garden. So I'll try this opportunity now. Thank you two brothers." Jiang Yichen thought for a moment. The two of them had no malice towards them, so they chose to believe and accept their kindness. Anyway, the current progress is quite smooth, and there are still more time to go.
Immediately, I bid farewell to the two of them again and set off towards the Taogu Secluded Forest.
Looking at Jiang Yichen's departure back, Liu Menghen spoke first.
"Do you know that if he can't find the way up the mountain, he will be lost in the secluded forest, and he may miss the deadline for the chrysanthemum garden?"
"I know, but if he just went to the old man like this, it would probably be the result of returning home. How could the trial of the chrysanthemum garden be passed easily?"
"So you're just trying to treat a dead horse?"
"It's also a gamble on luck, what do you think?"
"I'm quite pessimistic. Even if he finds the way up the mountain, he may not be able to discover the mystery in front of the cliff. Maybe he will rush over Biluo Lake."
"Is there any opportunity in the world? If there is a fate, it will be obtained by those who are destined to get it. Doesn't the word "destiny" happen to be on his jade pendant?"
"Haha, it's unreasonable."
"Then tell me why you helped him too?"
"Hey. Isn't this because of you, I'm afraid you will speak without saying anything and shining your tongue. After all, I'm also by my side, so I don't want to suffer with you! Of course, I also want to see the final result. Maybe it's really a fool who is stupid."
"Ha, thank you very much."
"Don't be polite to me."
"Hey, you're so thick, you're skinny!"
...
The Taogu is in a mysterious forest, and the winding paths are in secluded. Jiang Yichen has been farewell to Murong, and most of the day has passed since he arrived at the Taogu is in secluded forest.
In early spring, peach blossoms are blooming, pink is reflected in the eyes, and the faint fragrance of the valley is thrust into the heart.
At first, Jiang Yichen could still be intoxicated by the "full of trees and beautiful red, and thousands of elixirs were colorful and colorful in spring". After realizing that he had been trapped in the dark valley, he no longer had the mood and began to look around for the way up the mountain or the way out of the valley.
However, no matter whether you are heading towards the direction where Kasumi is, or walking straight forward in the direction you have determined, or drawing a direction mark on the ground with a sword, it is hard to find a way out.
