"Wait!" shouted from the dock, and the sailor who was about to lift the anchor paused. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone looked at the pier together, and saw a middle-aged scribe standing in the port with several pairs of soldiers, and it seemed that it was this person who had just shouted.
This person is Yan Zhuang, an assistant to An Lushan, he thought about it seriously, although he heard that Ye Saburo would escape, but since there was a woman with them, it would definitely not be far, but there was nothing found within a radius of hundreds of miles, so it was very likely that they took the waterway, he sent someone to check, there was indeed a ship out to sea in the past few days, it was the one that Captain Ma went to Ryukyu, he also knew, however, in order to be vigilant, he still personally brought someone to investigate.
"It's Yan Zhuang, this old ghost is quite fine. Captain Ma said.
Ye Sanlang has also heard of Yan Zhuang, it is said that An Lushan has two major staff, one is noble, and the other is Yan Zhuang. He is noble and good at playing conspiracy and tricks, and he usually puts forward the schemes used to harm others, but he is strict and good at grasping the overall situation and has a good strategy.
At this moment, he brought someone to investigate, presumably aware of it.
After the bridge was lowered, Yan Zhuang brought people onto the ship, and he looked at the hundreds of people on the deck in front of him, and suddenly felt a headache, because he didn't know anyone at all. So the team that was waiting to follow was walking back and forth in the crowd a few times with the portrait, and then the team was shaking its head, as if it had no gain. Of course, he knew that there could be no gain, and the other party must have changed his face, so the only way to check people was to start with the contract.
"Captain Ma, do you have a contract with your crew?"
"This ......," he grimaced. "You also know that most of the sailors of the merchant ships are actually slaves, where did the contract come from...... My crew numbered one hundred and twenty-three people, and at most half of them were indentured, and the rest were slaves and black households bought when they went to various countries. ”
"You, you......" Yan Zhuang shook his head, he understood that if he continued to investigate like this, unless he checked for a month, there would be no results. But if this is the case, the merchant ship's trip will be delayed, and An Lushan will not agree.
"Well, forget it, let's go. Yan Zhuang shook his head helplessly and took the soldiers off the boat.
"Then thank you, Mr. Yan. Captain Ma saluted, and then he waved his hand: "Anchor and sail!"
Speaking of which, he also wondered, with a solemn personality, it was impossible to let go of anything suspicious, why would he let them go so quickly?
Not long after, there was a hard-to-find underwater cave on the edge of the East China Sea, which was someone's residence, very empty, and there was no seawater inflow, and the air was fresh.
An old man who looked short and thin was lying on a stone bed carved from white jade and napping, when a big man who looked ugly walked in slowly and woke him up: "Master, from An Lushan, there is another Jianghu interception order issued from An Lushan, and the bounty is a thousand taels of gold." ”
The old man "Gollum" sat up all of a sudden, and thought about it, no, this An Lushan has never been so generous, could it be that there is information about him that he is not seen or something that interests him?
"Who is it? It's worth a thousand miles of gold?"
"It seems to be a topic of conversation in Chang'an recently, it was originally a fast catcher in Wannian County, Chang'an, and he is known as the first sword in Chang'an. ”
"Have you ever entered me to cultivate the true path?"
"It is said that Yin Shifei, the master of Xunlongmen, has just been accepted as a closed disciple recently. ”
They have never been out of the world, let alone accept apprentices easily, not to mention Yin Shifei's weird old man, this guy must be a treasure. Suddenly remembering that he hadn't finished speaking, the old man asked again, "And then?"
"A few days ago, he made a name for himself in a restaurant, and he became famous, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally summoned him and promoted him to supervise the imperial history. ”
"Supervising the Imperial History, how could you run to Youzhou in one day...... Could it be...... Could it be that An Lushan had bad intentions and was discovered by Li Longji? Well, it's very possible, but what does this have to do with us?"
"His advisor Yan Zhuang sent an order to intercept and kill the rivers and lakes, saying that Ye Saburo is very likely to be on a merchant ship bound for the Ryukyus, this merchant ship has just gone to sea, and it should still be within the Bohai Sea, let us destroy the merchant ship. ”
"I see, but since it is a merchant ship, then the wealth should be more, anyway, he has already acquiesced, and he will not send a master to retaliate, killing two birds with one stone. And the dragon king of the Bohai Sea is weak, but the old man and you can't do it, okay, then we will do this vote. ”
With that, he jumped out of bed and got out of the cave. The ugly man also instantly turned into an octopus comparable to a giant ship, carrying the old man forward at the bottom of the sea.
At night, Ye Saburo and Li Sihan stood on the edge of Class A, looking at the vast sea in the dark night and the stars in the sky, looking at each other speechlessly.
After a long time, Li Sihan slowly spoke: "San Lang, this seems to be the first time you have accompanied me since the night of Shangyuan Festival." ”
He nodded, indeed, after all this time, he did owe her something.
"Si Han, it's been so long, you've suffered a lot with me, I'm ......"
Li Sihan covered his mouth and said, "Don't say anything, what I know is my choice, I don't blame you." ”
"Sihan ......" Ye Saburo suddenly had an impulse, he looked around at no one, and suddenly hugged Li Sihan and kissed him on the lips, you know, with such a peerless face, he has never kissed it once.
Originally, Li Sihan also closed her eyes, but her acuity as a cultivator made it too late for her to enjoy this short-term happiness.
"Under the sea...... Something seems to be approaching ......."
That's right, although Ye Saburo has just started, his intuition also tells him that something is wrong.
"This is the sea, you shouldn't be able to use it to find qi, right? There are no dragon veins on the sea. ”
"No, although it is on the sea, but the sea has a bottom of the sea, and the dragon veins are all over the world, you try it first. ”
Ye Saburo closed his eyes, feeling the power of countless water vitality from the sea, and in that darkness, a shadow slowly appeared.
He was so startled that he didn't bother to tell Li Sihan, and immediately ran to the bow of the boat to ring the alarm bell.
The sound of "Dang Dang Dang" was so harsh at night that many of the crew members woke up immediately, and it didn't take long for a large number of people to gather on the deck.
"What's going on?" they asked.
"Octopus, an octopus bigger than our ship!"
"How is that possible!" said Captain Ma in surprise. "I've heard of giant squid and octopus, but they are creatures that only exist at the bottom of the ocean far away, so how can they be encountered in this small Bohai Sea. ”
Li Sihan stepped forward and said: "No, it's not those wild ones, among the scattered immortals in the world, there is a strange person named the old monster under the sea, who is a high-level cultivator at the level of immortals, who likes to live at the bottom of the sea, and has a giant octopus that has just become a demon, and he is good at collecting money, recently there are rumors that he is doing a bounty hunter, maybe, just now he solemnly let us go to sea to let this old monster under the sea sink us." ”
"That's good. "Two immortal-level opponents, how can a group of ordinary people be opponents?
