After a few months, Wen Ye returned to Yongchuan City again. He stepped on the ground mixed with gravel and coke, and his nose was filled with an unpleasant and strange smell.

"Is this Yongchuan City?"

"Yes, uncle, this is Yongchuan City. This is where Junior Brother Li died."

The two people who entered the city from outside were Wen Ye and Zuo Ming who had left Kuye City and headed north along the river.They had not spent all their time on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the past few months. Instead, they went to the north bank of Changshui first to look for people.

Who to look for?Ask the Feng family about Feng Mingyuan's whereabouts.

Because the only thing Wen Ye and Zuo Ming had was an essay left by Li Youjun before his death. Although it was relatively detailed, it could not be used directly to deal with the current situation.Because there is not much ink in this essay about the biggest doubt in the essay, which is Bai Lang, a Taoist monk who is hiding in Yongchuan City.

In addition, now that Yongchuan City has been burned to ruins, how many people are left who know the situation?Or are they all dead?No one can tell.

So from the beginning, Wen Ye discussed with Zuo Ming and decided not to go directly to Yongchuan City, but to find the people who were most likely to know the relevant information about Bailang and who knew Bailang best.And this person was very clear in their first choice target. It could only be the city lord of Yongchuan City, Feng Mingyuan, a descendant of the Feng family who had ruled Bailang for several years.

At the beginning, there were two powerful figures in Yongchuan City, one was Liu Jianyu from the army, and the other was Feng Mingyuan.

Liu Jianyu was actually a good choice. Unfortunately, this man had too much credit. Even though he lost Yongchuan City in the end, he severely damaged Yunyan's army in the battle of Jiupanba. He became the first person in the history of the Hong Dynasty who could win on the battlefield. The general who gained an advantage against Yunyan.After receiving all kinds of rewards, he was promoted to the position of the head of the left department of the Ministry of War Yamen, which can be said to be a meteoric rise.

However, Gaosheng was promoted, but Liu Jianyu was promoted to the high cabinet in disguise. Although the left Yamen leader was in a high position, he was suppressed by the Zhengyamen leader. Because of the National War, all power was gathered in the hands of the Zhengyamen leader. Here, it belongs to a position of "high position but no power".Not to mention going to the front lines to gain credit for his seniority, he can only be used as a mascot in the Ministry of War yamen.He even took him with him when the capital was moved to Beining.

There are many twists and turns, but the general reason is not difficult to guess.The main theory Wen Ye heard was that Liu Jianyu's promotion was the result of Tianfeng Plains coach Liao Yong and the family behind him.

High merit?Then I will hold you high, lest you come to Tianfeng Plain to break the balance here.

Therefore, Liu Jianyu, who had gone to Beining, was naturally not within the range of Wen Ye and Zuo Ming's contact.Because the mission they got from Wen Xingyun was to "explore the situation north of Changshui" instead of going to distant Beining.Going hastily will lead to big trouble.So Liu Jianyu couldn't count on him.

Unlike Liu Jianyu who was dismissed for his crimes, as the lord of Yongchuan City, Feng Mingyuan did not receive any punishment.And at the last moment, they successfully left by boat from Beicheng Pier and evacuated to the north bank of the river.Now he is staying in another city nearby to reorganize.

To say that they are reorganizing is actually to keep an eye on the changes in the situation. Whether they continue to retreat north or whether they can return to Yongchuan City depends on the outcome of Tianfeng Plain.At present, it seems that the outcome of Tianfeng Plain is destined not to be good, and the north bank of Changshui will not be able to escape the battlefield.

After finding Feng Mingyuan, Feng Mingyuan did not shirk. Instead, he looked like a white-eyed wolf when talking about Bai Lang.Not only did he tell everything he knew about Bai Lang's background and history, but he also revealed something that neither Wen Ye nor Zuo Ming had thought of beforehand: Bai Lang was a spiritual genius with a monster-like spiritual talent.

In just a few years, he went from an ordinary warrior to a Qi practitioner, and then to a Dao Dan monk. This span was so vast and miraculous that it simply overturned Wen Ye and Zuo Ming's perceptions.But if Feng Mingyuan was being alarmist, the other party swore that he had personally investigated Bai Lang's cultivation when Bai Lang's cultivation was still shallow, and he was absolutely correct.At that time, Bailang was just an ordinary Qi practitioner in the early stage of Qi-entraining realm.For this reason, he also judged that there was a strong man hiding behind Bailang who was secretly protecting him.And he also thought of getting acquainted with that strong man.

But later, Bailang became stronger and was no longer under Feng Mingyuan's control, and took advantage of Liu Jianyu's appearance to jump between the two forces in Yongchuan City.

But even though Bai Lang's strength grew rapidly, Feng Mingyuan also said that he never thought that Bai Lang would reach the Dao Dan realm so quickly.Because in his impression, Bailang didn't show much strength in Yongchuan City, and had always been playing tricks to gain strength.He suspected that Bai Lang should have broken through the Dao Dan realm during the time when Yun Yan's army was approaching Yongchuan City.

In other words, Bai Lang was not a strong Taoist in the Dao Dan Realm as Wen Ye and Zuo Ming thought before, but he was just hiding it because of his age and cultivation.

As for where Bailang might be now.Feng Mingyuan also speculated.

According to Feng Mingyuan, Bailang had been secretly hoarding food and other supplies since Yunyan's army moved north along the river, relying on the wharf of the industrial park.Although he had no proof of this, many merchants in the city at that time had private discussions about this and it reached his ears.It was only because the power in the city was in the hands of Liu Jianyu that he did not ask.

It is inferred from this that Bailang should have a stronghold on the north bank of the river.The purpose of hoarding supplies is to send them to the stronghold.And the news can be hidden from the cities on the north bank, so Bailang's stronghold should be not far from the river bank, maybe in a hidden area on the other side of Yongchuan City.

In this way, we have a more detailed impression of Bailang Wen Ye and Zuo Ming.There are roots, there are doubts, and there is a destination.

And after combing through what Feng Mingyuan said, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming also discovered that the time period that Feng Mingyuan mentioned that Bailang began to "emerge" as a street wanderer coincided with the time period in Li Youjun's essays when ghost cultivators appeared.Combined with Bailang's terrifying cultivation speed and the fact that the ghost cultivator was carrying a wanted order from the Immortal Kingdom, the two together would inevitably arouse people's imagination.

Could it be that the ghost cultivator wanted by the Immortal Kingdom brought Bailang such an astonishing change to him?Is it teaching the Fa?Or is it for some other reason?Could it be that this ghost cultivator is wanted in this fairyland?

The most tacit guess between Wen Ye and Zuo Ming is: if they capture Bailang, will they also get such a terrifying heaven-defying opportunity?

All of a sudden, the original psychological expectations of one wanting to make meritorious deeds and the other wanting revenge, involuntarily changed at this time.

After leaving Feng Mingyuan, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming explored along the river and found that the situation was much more difficult than they expected.Even if it is just the north bank area opposite Yongchuan City, it is not easy to explore it with just two legs, because there is the Yuzhong Mountains, the mountains are weird and long, and there are too many places that can be hidden places. too much.It would take at least a year or two for the two of them to touch it carefully.

So Wen Ye and Zuo Ming had to move their eyes from the north bank of Changshui back to the south bank of Changshui.Their judgment was that the Yunyan army was now killing Tianfeng Plains. Even if they broke through Tianfeng Plains in a short period of time, they would go to Shunning instead of turning back to the south of Changshui, which they had already ravaged.So will Bailang take advantage of this gap and show up here again?
After all, you can't stay in the stronghold for a lifetime, and you need to keep track of changes in the situation outside.

So Wen Ye and Zuo Ming returned to Yongchuan City for this reason.
