Talented Martial Arts System
Chapter 149 Probe
Ling Jing smiled slightly, and rode his horse to a place, leaning against the hill, separated from the lake outside by a long embankment, it was even more quiet.The two reined in the horses after a long distance, and stopped by the lake, a row of willows and green branches swaying beside them, and the breeze carried a fresh smell of lake water.
The two of them watched from a distance and saw a row of stone steps winding up at the foot of the mountain. Looking up along the stone steps, after turning a few turns, they saw a large plum forest with old trunks slanting and branches and leaves. Lush, imagine the day when the plum blossoms are in full bloom in early spring, and the fragrant snow is like the sea, and you will definitely be able to enjoy it endlessly.
And in the depths of the plum grove, a large manor with rich gates and high walls can be faintly seen, but the two of them are too far apart at this time, and can only see a part of the manor protruding from the plum grove from a distance. As for the situation inside , then it is unknown.
"Lianyi, that's Meizhuang." Ling Jing stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the plum grove, exhaled lightly, and said, "We finally arrived here."
Lianyi nodded lightly, looked at the manor deep in the plum grove, and said softly: "My lord, shall we go and find out the reality of this plum village first?"
"Not in a hurry." Ling Jing looked into the distance, and after pondering for a while, he said: "We rushed to Hangzhou in the starry night, although the speed is already extremely fast, but it is hard to know whether Xiang Wentian has also arrived at this time. Here it is. It's not a good thing if this guy is ahead of us."
After all, he has never been able to determine Xiang Wentian's whereabouts. Although the two of them are not slow, if they can't grasp Xiang Wentian's movements first, they will be too passive.
"Let's take a look around here first and ask for news, but we can't get too close to the plum village, so as not to overwhelm the snake." After Ling Jing said, he urged the horses under his seat.Together with Lianyi, they began to walk slowly along the lakeside.
The two rode horses and walked slowly. The place where Meizhuang is located is indeed very beautiful, and there are very few pedestrians passing by.Added a bit of quiet feeling.
The air by the lake is slightly humid, the sun is shining on the lake, and the microwaves on the lake are golden yellow. Occasionally, a few pure white wild geese will swim by in the lake, making a "quack" sound. cry.
Ling Jing and Lian Yi walked together for a while, but there were few pedestrians on the road.Unexpectedly, he couldn't even see half of the figure, which made Ling Jing feel a little depressed.
After walking for another distance, I finally saw a thin man coming down from the mountain on the side of the mountain road. This man's clothes were old, his face was still dark, and he had a big black ax pinned to his waist.There is also a bundle of wood on the back, which seems to be a woodcutter nearby.
"Finally I saw a living person." When Ling Jing saw the woodcutter, he couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: "The "Four Friends from the South of the Yangtze River" really know how to choose a place, and they walked for a long time before seeing a person. Human shadow, it seems that these people really want to live in seclusion."
Seeing him sigh, Lian Yi couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling.
Ling Jingce stepped forward immediately.Walking up to the woodcutter, he said, "Brother, stay here."
The woodcutter saw this young man and a woman in fine clothes walking in front of him, he was a little ashamed of himself, and secretly glanced at the beautiful woman who was like a fairy descending from the earth, his face blushed, he couldn't help lowering his head, and said: "Son, what's the matter?"
Ling Jing clasped his fists slightly, and said: "Your Majesty and Madam are playing here today. But I saw that there is a big manor deep in the plum grove on the mountain, and I want to go up and have a look, but I don't know that the owner here likes to see guests."
The woodcutter was slightly taken aback, then turned his head and pointed to the manor on the mountain, and said, "My lord is talking about the Plum Village."
Ling Jing nodded.But the woodcutter smiled wryly and said, "My lord, I advise you not to go there."
"Oh brother, why did you say that?" Ling Jing asked with a smile.
"The four owners of Plum Village have moved here for many years, but these people have weird tempers and never see visitors. It is not uncommon for the gate of Plum Village to not be opened for several months in a row," the woodcutter said. With a strange look on his face, he said.
"So it's like this." Ling Jing's heart moved, but he sighed on his face, and asked again, as if a little unwilling, "Then, has this Meizhuang received any visitors recently?"
The wry smile on the woodcutter's face was even worse, and he said: "My lord, stop joking, my family lives near here, not only has there been no visitors to this Mei Zhuang recently, but I haven't seen a single living person go in these past few years."
"Is that so?" Ling Jing sighed slightly, seemed to be quite regretful, then cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "It seems that these villa owners really don't like to see guests, so I won't bother you anymore. Brother, thank you up."[
Ling Jing turned around, nodded at Chong Lianyi, and the two rode away again.
The woodcutter watched the two leaving back, stood there for a while, thinking, there is such a beautiful woman in this world, tsk tsk, if only the girl could say a few words to me, that would be great.
Ling Jing and Lian Yi walked forward for a while, and after turning a few corners on horseback, they gradually walked back towards the city. It's not that Ling Jing didn't want to ask more questions, but people around them could ask. Had to turn around and go back.
"My lord, it seems that Xiang Wentian didn't arrive before us, so when are we going to do it?" Lian Yi asked while riding on the horse.
Ling Jing stared forward, his eyes were a little erratic, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the woodcutter's words are credible, we'd better make sure by ourselves first. How about this, tonight you go to Meizhuang to investigate first. Check the situation, if there is no change in the "Four Friends of the South of the Yangtze River", it means that Xiang Wentian really hasn't arrived in Hangzhou yet."
"As for the future plan, let's think about it in the long run."
The woodcutter was just an ordinary person, and it was impossible to keep an eye on Mei Zhuang's movements all the time, so he still had some doubts about what the woodcutter said.
"Well, then I will go to Meizhuang to have a look tonight." Lianyi nodded, now her injury has recovered and her strength has fully recovered, even Huang Zhonggong, the most powerful owner of Meizhuang, should have better martial arts than her It's a little short, if she is more cautious after entering Meizhuang, it should be difficult to be discovered.
That night, Ling Jing stayed in the inn in Hangzhou City. At nightfall, Lianyi changed into night clothes and went to Meizhuang quietly by herself.
If it was the past, Ling Jing would naturally go to Meizhuang to investigate in person, but now that his martial arts are not as good as before, it is more appropriate for Lian Yi to handle this matter, even if someone really finds out in the end, with her martial arts , It should not be difficult to get out.
Ling Jing sat alone in the guest room of the inn, with a jug of wine on the table, he looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then fell into deep thought again.
Now that he and Lianyi are in the city of Hangzhou, all the plans can be implemented, but Xiang Wentian is really a variable, so he has to find a way to delay him first.
If not, it would be very ugly if this person suddenly jumped out of the mess when his plan started to be implemented.
And there is one more thing that he still can't figure out until now. He and Lianyi stayed near Meizhuang for a long time today, but he never received a reminder from the system. According to common sense, he Now that we are already in the middle of this scene, and this scene still plays a pivotal role in the main line of this world, how could the system not even have a hint
About an hour later, the door in the wing room suddenly made a "creak" sound, and a gust of cool wind blew into the room with a bit of biting chill. The candle on the table was blown by the wind and shook slightly twice. .
A slender figure flashed to Ling Jing's side, the night clothes on her body showed her exquisite body, the lines were perfect.
The woman said with a smile: "My lord, the plum village is very quiet, everything is normal, it seems that nothing happened."
"That's good." Ling Jing felt relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It seems that we are really ahead of Xiang Wentian." There was a gleam in his eyes, and he thought about it After a while, he said again: "If my predictions are correct, Xiang Wentian will definitely arrive in Hangzhou in the near future. At that time, we will sit on the sidelines and wait, and we must not let Xiang Wentian get close to Meizhuang easily."
The two rested in the inn for a day, and the next morning they checked out of the guest room and found a place near the pier outside the city.If Xiang Wentian wanted to get to Hangzhou as quickly as possible, he must go by water.
Two days later, it was noon, the sun was scorching, and there was a faint burning sensation in the air. The pier was crowded with people, passengers and porters coming and going. There was a lot of noise here, with laughter, cursing and shouting from time to time. .
After a while, a passenger ship stopped by the pier, and the passengers on board poured down, all kinds of people, including some martial artists.
At this moment, a tall old man came down from the boat. He wore a yellow turban on his head, and was dressed luxuriously. His complexion was a bit sallow, but his eyes were very bright. There was a flash of light, which seemed very shrewd. [
The man carried a luggage on his back, and the luggage was bulging, apparently containing a lot of things, and one end of a scroll on the top of the luggage was "exposed" to the outside.
After the old man got off the boat, he gave a "hey hey" laugh, and after a little tidying up his clothes, he left the pier and headed south.
In a hidden corner outside the pier, Ling Jing stared closely at the old man, and suddenly said to Lian Yi beside him: "Lian Yi, let's follow quickly."
He and Lian Yi have been waiting near the pier for two days, and have never seen anyone suspicious. Although he has never seen Xiang Wentian's face, the things on this old man's body are very revealing. He is almost % sure that the old man is Xiang Wentian himself. (To be continued.
