Chu Yiyi lightly took the wine glass, put it to his lips and took a sip, and said, "Yiyi, thank you Gongzi for the wine. ”

Hua Bushi's expression moved, and he said, "Yes, what kind of big news is it?"

Chu Yiyi put the wine glass on the table and said, "Have you ever heard of the rumors about the Whale Swallowing Island in the East China Sea?"

Hua Bushi said: "Madame is talking about the gold cave on the sea full of gold and gems?"

Chu Yiyi said: "Not bad." However, it is too exaggerated to say that there are gold and gems everywhere, it is said that Whale Swallowing Island is located in the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles away from the coast, and it is a secret place where the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian who crossed the East China Sea in ancient times buried the looted treasures, and the so-called "Whale Swallowing Island" is actually the meaning of "Tunjin". ”

Rumors about various treasures are always indispensable in the rivers and lakes. These legends are strange, but they are always talked about, and Whale Swallowing Island in the East China Sea is one of them. It's just that no one knows how many of these rumors are true, or if all of them are false rumors.

Hua Bushi said: "I have also heard some legends about this island, but no one has ever seen the whale swallowing island, and it is really very ethereal." Could it be that these people from the Jianghu Sect came to the 'Xiangfu Inn' tonight because they wanted to devour the treasure of Whale Island?"

Chu Yiyi said: "Gongzi guessed right, if you want to say whether there is really a whale swallowing island in the East China Sea, most people didn't believe it a few days ago, but now, the Jianghu sects in the Guangdong realm, I'm afraid they all believe it, and they all want to get a piece of this treasure." ”

Hua Bushi said: "What is the reason for this?"

Chu Yiyi said: "A month ago, someone dug up an ancient tomb on the boundary of Gaozhou Mansion in Guangdong, stole some ancient gold coins and jewelry from the tomb, and sold them to pawn shops. It just so happened that there was a connoisseur in the pawnshop who was proficient in antique identification, and identified a jade pendant called 'Panlong Jue', which was the inheritance of the legendary pirate king Tuoba Qingtian, and there was a clue to find and open the treasure of Whale Swallowing Island. ”

Hua Bushi said: "This matter sounds too strange, how can you open the treasure with only one jade pendant?"

Chu Yiyi said: "It's hard to believe what I heard, and few people have seen that 'Panlong Jue' since it was born, but the gold coins that the tomb robbers sold to the pawnshop together with the jade pendant have been seen by many people, and they are indeed ancient coins four or five hundred years ago." ”

She paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, even if the ancient coins are true, the theory of 'Panlong Jue' is still a matter of doubt. It was only then that the person in the pawnshop who identified antiques was immediately killed, and the jade pendant fell into the hands of a small gang called the 'Blue and White Society' in Gaozhou Mansion, but ten days later, more than 100 gangs of the 'Blue and White Society' were slaughtered overnight, and it was the 'Nanhai Faction', one of the 'four major factions in Guangdong', who shot it. ”

Hua Bushi said: "The 'South China Sea faction' is a big faction in the white road, if you don't have a real grasp, you will definitely not snatch it because of a little rumor, and even don't hesitate to kill." And in order to compete for this jade pendant, so many people died, 'Panlong Jue' must be extraordinary, and the theory of Whale Swallowing Island should not be groundless, and many ** will think like this. ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Yes, most of the rivers and lakes in the Guangdong realm think so. And after the 'Nanhai faction' got the 'Panlong Jue', they also knew that it was difficult to make a difference with the power of one faction, so they invited the masters of the 'Four Great Sects' of Baidao to gather in this Longchuan City and go to sea to hunt for treasures together. ”

Hua Bushi frowned and said: "The people in the 'Jingci Lin Nunnery' told us that the four of them sent masters to gather in this city to escort that Mr. Martha to South Australia, which is very different from the news that Madame inquired, and I don't know which is true or false?"

Chu Yiyi said: "These news were obtained by the concubine from Wan Shijie, the master of the 'Great Hong Gate', and in fact, this matter is no secret, and the large and small sects in the Guangdong Realm are probably aware of it now." The master of the Ten Thousand Sects came to the 'Fuxiang Inn' before, just to discuss cooperation with the 'Four Great Factions', but was rejected by Master Miaozhen. ”

Hua Bushi said: "In this way, the people from all factions who came here tonight probably all have the same purpose as this 'Great Hongmen' Wanmen Lord. ”

Chu Yiyi said: "It must be so." In the eyes of these sects, the news of the existence of the treasure of Whale Devouring Island has spread, and even if the 'Four Great Sects' have the lion's share, they should not be alone, they all want to intervene to explore the treasure together and share the benefits. According to Na Wan Shijie, there are at least twenty or thirty Jianghu sects that have rushed to Longchuan City, and I am afraid that there will be more in a few days. ”

Hua Bushi pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "But I don't know when the 'South China Sea Faction' exterminated the 'Blue and White Society' and got the 'Panlong Jue'?"

Chu Yiyi said: "The appearance of 'Panlong Jue' was more than a month ago, according to Wan Shijie, the 'Nanhai faction' killed the 'Qinghuamen' gang on the second day of the first month. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, only seven days have passed since the second day of the first lunar month, after the 'Nanhai faction' killed people and seized the treasure, it is reasonable that the masters of the four factions have not yet had time to rush to Longchuan City, but this is also what makes me feel confused." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "What doubts does the son have?"

Hua Bushi said: "The Jianghu sects we saw before are all over Shaozhou, Leizhou, and Zhaoqing, almost all over the entire territory of Guangdong, even if they get the news and rush to Longchuan City, it will take at least a few days, doesn't Madam think this situation is very strange?"

Chu Yiyi said: "But Gongzi thinks that these people shouldn't be able to arrive so quickly?"

Hua Bushi said: "The fact that the masters of the 'Four Great Sects' met in Longchuan City to explore the treasure leaked out, and it can be speculated that someone had inserted an inside line among the four factions. But in terms of common sense, if this kind of news is to be transmitted to the states in the Guangdong realm, there will definitely be a priority, and now that the masters of the four major factions have not yet arrived, these many Jianghu sects have gotten the news to Longchuan, but what is the reason?"

Chu Yiyi thought for a while and said, "As soon as Hua Gongzi said it, Yiyi also felt that there was something unusual. Within a few days, these many sects were able to get the news and rush in, as if the news was coming out at the same time in various parts of Guangdong, and it was also spreading too quickly. ”

Hua Bushi said: "With the means of 'Thousand Flowers', how many days will it take to spread a message all over Guangdong?"

Chu Yiyi said: "About two or three days." ”

Hua Bushi said: "It was only seven days for the 'Hainan faction' to get the 'Panlong Jue', and now the people from all sides have rushed to Longchuan City, deducting their itinerary on the road, according to the day, this news has spread to all parts of Guangdong, I am afraid it will only be between two or three days, or even shorter." ”

Chu Yiyi's face changed slightly, and said: "What Gongzi means is that the news of 'Panlong Jue' is spread by an organization with stronger means of communication than 'Thousand Flowers'?"

Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke is just judged by common sense, and it is unknown whether it will be stronger than 'Qianhuafang'." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Hua Gongzi doesn't know, the messenger used in this workshop is thousands of 'Qianli pigeons', much faster than ordinary carrier pigeons, the feeding and breeding method of this pigeon, is also the unique secret skills of this workshop, to say that there are other sects on the rivers and lakes have faster means of transmission with 'Thousand Flowers Fang', the concubine is really hard to believe." ”

When she said this, she suddenly frowned lightly and said, "Unless it's ......"

Hua Bushi said: "Unless anything?"

Chu Yiyi said: "Unless the other party is 'Wanyimen', only they may be able to do this." ”

"Qianhuafang" is an extremely mysterious intelligence organization on the rivers and lakes, and what is more mysterious than "Qianhuafang" is only the "Wanyi Gate" where the dragon sees the head and the end.

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "'Wanyimen' is secretive, although it may have such a ability, but in the opinion of this young master, there is another possibility. ”

Chu Yiyi said: "What is the possibility?"

Hua Bushi said: "Even if they had planned this situation in advance, they also expected that the masters of the four factions would meet in Longchuan City, so they had arranged the release of rumors early, and there was no need to send news temporarily." ”

Chu Yiyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be that the appearance of 'Panlong Jue' is all a deception set up by someone? But how can this person who set up the situation predict that the masters of the four factions will meet in this city?"

Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said, "The reason why the four major sects agreed to meet in this city may have another inside story, and it is not surprising that it was predicted. It's too early to say whether this matter was laid out by someone, but I don't believe much about the 'Panlong Jue' and the East China Sea Whale Swallowing Island. ”

Chu Yiyi nodded and said, "Now it seems that this matter is indeed quite strange and confusing. However, there are so many Jianghu sects in the Guangdong realm that they are convinced of this, and the master of the 'Great Hongmen' Ten Thousand Sects I saw just now is very likely to be unwilling to give up if he does not find Yujue and gets the treasure of Whale Swallowing Island!"

Hua Bushi said: "But the greed in the hearts of mortals will affect their judgment ability, not to mention that in these sects, no matter whether this matter is true or not, they can never let go of this opportunity to hunt for treasures." ”

He sighed and said, "Although I don't want to be involved, it's just a deal with the 'Jingci Lin'an', I'm afraid that it will be affected." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Then how does Hua Gongzi think we should deal with it?"

Hua Bushi thought for a while and said: "Since they want to hide it from us, we will pretend not to know, try to stay out of the matter, and still go to South Australia according to the original Jihua." ”

He rolled his eyes, but looked at the sea red beads beside him. Among the people at this table, Chu Yiyi and Meng Huan have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, while Zhu Hong is silent, Bai Yiling is smart and well-behaved, and the only one who is most likely to show flaws is this sea-girl who has no city.

Seeing Hua Bushi looking at her, Hai Hongzhu pouted and said, "What do you watch me do, your conspiracy and tricks, I won't leak it!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ate a dinner for two hours, and when the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" returned to the "Fuxiang Inn", it was almost the third watch.

Everyone walked into the door of the inn, but saw Miaozhen Miaojue's two masters and Yi Ruoying sitting in the front hall, Yi Ruoying's weapon purple sword and gold ring were placed on the table, and the expressions of the three people were solemn, obviously because of the more than ten uninvited guests who came overnight.

Hua Bushi seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the lobby, and stepped forward to greet him: "The two masters and Miss Ruoying are okay, it's getting late, don't you feel tired if you don't go back to your room to rest?"
