Chapter 8: Meeting Gu Zhong Again (1) - Door to Door
Those who are good at preventing hidden arrows must be those who are good at using hidden arrows.
-----------------
After struggling for more than a day, it is almost eight or nine o'clock in the "Golden Theater" time.
Because Poussan had been smashed into scrap iron, everyone could only squeeze into Jiang Nightingale's Buick.
The person driving was Taoist Ming Yan, and Jiang Yeying was still sitting in the passenger seat, but the back seat was replaced by the old wizard and the priest, and he sandwiched Mr. Yan in the middle.
"Are you sure you want to lie in?" Mr. Yan asked Xiao Wu, who opened the car and was about to get into it.
In addition to being a loyal command execution machine, the ninja is also a crowd that remembers gratitude. Although Xiao Wu does not like this "butter-handed" spoiler, he saved his life just now, and Xiao Wu no longer has the interest to scare Mr. Yan with a short knife. In a conflict, the six people themselves exceeded the total five seats of the Buick car, so Xiao Wu himself suggested that she could lie in the trunk.
"...Thank you for your life-saving grace. Don't worry. As long as you don't hurt my lord, even if your spell loses its effect, I will not cut off your head." After Xiao Wu said that, she got into the suitcase and pulled up the back hood himself.
"It seems like I've been worried about it." Mr. Yan shrugged: "What a shameless girl."
Although Yan Xian was diligent in asking the guard group to give the "binding" treatment that the hostages deserved, everyone understood that Mr. Yan would not escape or resist, so no one was really full and ran to tie him up.
After a battle with the wizards, the members of the escort already knew one thing: they had to cooperate with Mr. Yan. Even if other potential dangers were not considered, just the woman named Wen came back, it would be enough for them to have a good drink.
They protected Jiang Yeying under Gu Zhong's order because many people now want to destroy the alliance between Gu and Jiang. Compared with Gu Zhong, who is always exposed to the spotlight, Jiang Yeying, who is always exposed to the spotlight, is more likely to become the target of public criticism. Especially after receiving the death card of the famous "deadhead", their nerves became even tighter.
However, they did not expect that Jiang Yeying, who had been protected by them, would seek help from Mr. Yan at this moment.
All the people in the Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu's escort had heard Mr. Yan's name, and they didn't like this person. It was indeed difficult to make these loyal soldiers fall in love with the culprit who shortened their masters ten years of life.
Jiang Yeying came to find Mr. Yan. For the guard group, it was not only a distrust, but also a disguised betrayal of Gu Zhong.
Although they were not sure what happened between Jiang Yeying and Mr. Yan at the beginning, anyone with a little look could see that the relationship between these two people was far from being an employment relationship.
This distrust and disgust for his future wife rose to the peak of silence after they came forward to drive away Wen Ya.
But now, whether they want to or not, they have to admit that Jiang Yeying’s decision is correct.
This time there are definitely more than one Wen Gu student, and there are monsters that have been hiding in the depths of darkness like wolves and tigers.
It is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows.
Although Mr. Yan may not be invincible in the world, in terms of anti-hidden arrows and counter-hidden arrows, Mr. Yan has proved with his actions what a real "expert" is.
The people in the escort are not fools, and in the face of great benefits, they can of course leave their disgust aside for the moment.
However, the direct manifestation of the purpose and "interest" of the guard group is to protect Gu Jiang and the others. Where is Mr. Yan's interests? Why did he follow them back to see Gu Zhong, and even pretend to be defeated and be held hostage? Is he also one of the companions of Wen Gu Sheng, who wants to use this to deceive Gu Zhong and kill him in one fell swoop?
No one can fully see through Mr. Yan, never. But no matter whether they can see through it or not, they need Mr. Yan's help.
——This is why Mr. Yan is always disliked but always needed.
"Hey, I'll say Old Man Gandalf," Mr. Yan suddenly turned his head and said to the old wizard beside him: "It's you who taught Miss Jiang's mother magic, right?"
This sudden question made Mr. Jiang silent, and even Jiang Yeying turned her head in surprise.
"Oh, it turns out that you don't know, Miss!" Mr. Yan pretended to regret, "Oh, I've said something I shouldn't say again."
"What do you mean? How could Mr. Jiang be..." Jiang Yeying said, her tongue was a little knotted.
"How could it be your mother's old acquaintance?" Mr. Yan said for granted: "Of course. A priest who can only exorcise ghosts and heal blessings, a Taoist priest of the Talisman School, and a female ninja of a small school may be found in the past few years, but a purple-robed wizard who can use spiritual witch-level spells is not something that can be used to use all the money."
"And this old man can actually attract the pursuit of four wizards, one black, one purple and two blue, which means that the magic organization still attaches great importance to him. But since he attaches so much importance to him, why did he only find him now? I guess this is because Mr. Gandalf is good at hiding his movements." Mr. Yan said, suddenly put on an embarrassing expression: "I am actually very embarrassed to talk about this, because I guess they came here because I gave them notes."
"Notes? Are you talking about my mother's notes?" Jiang Yeying suddenly said, "No wonder I didn't find that thing later, and you actually gave it to those wizards with your own words?"
"Hey, that's right, I owe someone a favor to their organization, so I'll pay it back!" Mr. Yan's mouth pulled down and said, "How did I know they would find the traces of your mother and master because of this? There are always unexpected things in life!"
(Author’s note: The paragraph about Mr. Yan’s return of magic notes is mentioned at the end of the first volume.)
"Mrs. Yueying and Yue did learn magic from me for a while, and there is nothing to hide." Mr. Jiang sighed and interrupted the quarrel between Yan and Jiang: "It was just because she was mainly engaged in blessing techniques, and I couldn't help her much, and I encountered some things, so I didn't stay here for a long time. When I came back later, she was already... Alas, people are getting older and older, and I always feel sad when I see young people leaving earlier than me."
Jiang Yeying was silent, and Mr. Yan had no topic. He just touched his chin with his hand, as if thinking about something.
"We're here." At this moment, the Taoist priest stepped on the brakes.
“We’re home.”
