It says that in a certain section of the Temin River, there is a legend that there is an underground shipwreck at the bottom of the river. It was an ancient prince who was shipwrecked when his family was migrating, and all his belongings sank to the bottom of the river.

That prince and minister was an important minister of the dynasty at that time, and he was also a big traitor, who collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and it can be said that he was rich enough to rival the country.

Wu Song read this record, and then thought of the Blue Lotus Island circled on the previous page, and couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that that the treasures have something to do with the Blue Lotus Island?"

If this is the case, then it can explain why the two brothers of the Du family easily gave up their huge family business.

They went on a treasure hunt.

Wu Song rummaged through the study again, but found no other useful things.

He left the Du family's mansion and returned to the inn.

Wu Song simply told Gangfeng what happened in Du's house to Gangfeng.

After hearing this, Gao Xiang fell into deep thought, and after a while, he told Wu Song, "I have also heard the rumors of the treasure you said. In the past, there had been many attempts to salvage the treasure, but to no avail.

If the Du family really found that batch of treasures, it would be terrible. ”

Wu Song thought for a moment and asked Gao Xiang, "What do you know about that group of pirates on Blue Lotus Island?"

Gao Xiang frowned, "That's a group of ruthless pirates who have been entrenched in the nearby river for ten years. In the beginning, they were homeless veterans after the war between the East and West continents.

Because of the conflict with the royal family of the country where they lived, they chose to be pirates on Blue Lotus Island. They are said to be pirates, but in fact, their main area of activity is the Termin River.

Coming and going, other unlanded veterans, nearby thieves, etc., all went to Blue Lotus Island. Up to now, there have been tens of thousands of thieves on Blue Lotus Island, with forty or fifty warships. ”

"Then there is no government to suppress the bandits?" Wu Song was a little puzzled.

"This is also the reason why those thieves chose Blue Lotus Island to fall into the grass," Gao Xiang analyzed, "The geographical location of Blue Lotus Island is relatively special, located at the junction of the Heavenly Empire and the Earth Empire.

The two countries have been fighting for decades over who exactly this place belongs to. The war between the East and West was fought before it ended, and even after the war ended, the problem was still not resolved.

Under such circumstances, no one has a firm conclusion as to which country should send troops to suppress the bandits.

So, the matter was put on hold. ”

Wu Song nodded, pondered to himself, and did not speak.

Gao Xiang was a little strange, "Shaoxia, why are you asking these things?"

"I'm going to go to Blue Lotus Island to find the two brothers of the Du family. Wu Song said casually.

"Ah!" Gao Xiang exclaimed, "This is absolutely impossible, young man." You don't know how dangerous it is on Blue Lotus Island, you go up alone, but you're joking with your own life. ”

"No, no," Wu Song looked at the river in the distance, at this time the night had come to an end, the sun was slowly rising from the river, and it was vaguely visible that there was a small island on the river, "If you don't find the two brothers of the Du family,

Settle the ferry matter completely, and sooner or later they will come back to make things difficult for you. ”

"Shaoxia, you are really a good person, at a young age, but you care about the common people, please accept my worship. Gao Xiang's admiration for Wu Song was so great that he was about to kneel down as he spoke.

Wu Song hurriedly supported Gao Xiang and smiled slightly, "Isn't the same with your elder brother? Moreover, your elder brother has not yet cultivated, but he dares to stand up for the people, which is much higher than my realm." ”

Wu Song had already made up his mind to go to Blue Lotus Island.

After daybreak, he told Gangfeng and them to stay in the inn. He went to Blue Lotus Island alone to find the two brothers of the Du family.

Because the ferry was all monopolized by the Du family, Wu Song could not take the ferry. Of course, he could fly to Blue Lotus Island, but Wu Song was thinking that going on a ferry would seem more natural and not easy to arouse the suspicion of those thieves.

However, since he couldn't take the ferry, Wu Song had no choice but to fly over.

Blue Lotus Island is located in the middle of the Temin River, about fifty miles from the shore.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Song came to the sky above Blue Lotus Island.

The area of Blue Lotus Island is not too large, compared to Zhongjie Island, it is only about half the size of the latter.

Because of the small size of the island, there is no vegetation on the island, and there are buildings in almost every part of the island from south to north and east to west.

At this time, it is close to noon, and a busy crowd can be seen on Blue Lotus Island.

On the south side of the island, there is a harbor where many ships are moored. In addition, around Blue Lotus Island, there are more than a dozen ships cruising. It was supposed to be the warship guarding Blue Lotus Island.

Wu Song retracted his flaming wings and landed in a field on the north side of the island.

Sugar cane is grown in this field, and now it's almost the ripening season, and there is a sweet smell in the air.

Wu Song walked through the sugar cane field and came to a thatched hut at the edge of the field.

On the walls of the hut, there are several sickles, which look like they should be resting places for farmers.

Wu Song quietly walked to the window and observed the situation in the room through the crack in the window.

There was no one in the house, so Wu Song pried open the window and put it inside.

There was a bed against the west wall in the room, and piles of clothes were placed on the bed.

Wu Song picked out a well-fitting dress from it, then disguised himself from beginning to end and walked out of the house.

When he was in the air just now, he saw a city about ten miles northwest of the sugar cane fields.

Wu Song came to the city, and the cities on the island generally have no walls. This city is no exception, outside the city are patches of fields, and further inside, there are all kinds of buildings in the city.

Wu Song was dressed as a peasant at this time, and walking on the road naturally did not attract anyone's attention.

He entered the city, walked down the street, and saw a shop selling haggis soup on the side of the street, so he went in and ordered a bowl of haggis soup.

There were a lot of people in the shop, and Wu Song listened attentively to the conversation of the customers next to him while eating.

Half of these guests were wearing swords, and the expressions on their faces were fierce, and they looked like people begging for a living on the tip of a sword.

Wu Song was eating, when suddenly the door curtain opened, and three people walked in.

All three of them are big-shouldered and round-waisted, and they are murderous.

The three of them sat down not far from Wu Song, each ordered a bowl of haggis soup, and then began to eat.

They were chatting while eating, and one of them lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hu, I heard that the treasures have eyebrows, is this matter true? You are on an errand with the island owner, you should know the inside story, right?"

The man known as Brother Tiger was a big man with a leopard's head and eyes, he took a big sip of soup, exhaled comfortably, and said, "This matter is confidential, brothers, I can't tell you the truth."

However, the owner of the island is indeed going to go out recently, and this time out, the people on the boat are carefully selected. If the two brothers want to go, then I will find a way for you. ”

The two of them were busy laughing, "Brother Tiger, then you have to work hard, you must bring us up, when the time comes, we will definitely honor you." ”

Brother Tiger grinned, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

After the three of them had eaten, they left. Wu Song quietly followed behind them.

The three of them came out into the street, walked for a while, and then turned into the side alley.

After walking in the alley for a while, the three came to a courtyard. The person who had talked to Brother Tiger knocked on the courtyard door, and after a while, the door opened, and a little girl poked her head out.

The man smiled and said, "Is your girl at home?"

"Here," replied the little girl with a sharp tooth, "just waiting for you to come, please come in." ”

The three of them entered the courtyard one by one, and the little girl poked her head out, looked left and right, and then closed the courtyard door.

Wu Song came to the outside of the courtyard wall, jumped up, jumped onto the wall, and came to the roof.

From the outside, this courtyard looks like a small courtyard, but it is very deep and has more than a dozen rooms inside.

From several rooms came the sound of men and women laughing, and a woman walked briskly through the courtyard. She was wearing a very revealing outfit with a ** smile on her face.

Wu Song understood, this is a brothel.

The three tiger brothers were led by the little girl to the deepest part of the courtyard.

The other two entered a room each, and Brother Tiger entered a living room.

Wu Song came to the roof of the living room, put his ear on the roof, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

After waiting for a while, a woman's laughter came from the living room.

"Brother Tiger, what kind of wind blew you here today?" the woman said with a smile.

"It's not the fragrance on your body," Brother Hu also laughed, "If I wasn't as busy as a dog every day, I would have liked to live with you." ”

"Oh, look at Brother Hu, you said. The woman let out a string of silver bell-like laughter, "Little sister, I'm flattered." ”

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business," Brother Hu cleared his throat, "Tomorrow, the island will go to a place, and it is estimated that it will take a few days."

There were a few distinguished guests on board, and the owner didn't want them to feel lonely on board, so he ordered me to come here. ”

"Understood," the woman answered immediately, "how many are needed?"

"Three. Brother Tiger reported the numbers.

"Okay, I'll pick out the best girls here. The woman immediately said cheerfully.

"Well, I won't stay any longer, I need to go back immediately, there's still a lot of work to be done over there. After Brother Hu finished speaking, he got up and left.

The woman also came out and sent Brother Tiger all the way to the door.

After Brother Tiger left the brothel, he went out of the alley and turned onto the street.

Wu Song followed behind from a distance of several meters.

Blue Lotus Island was previously a desert island, with only a few fishermen on the shore.

Later, after the thieves came, they built the city on the island on a large scale.

However, it is not the same as a city on land. The thieves did not hire professional craftsmen to build the city, but built it themselves with their own experience.

When the first thieves came, they built a few houses and lived for themselves. The second wave of thieves came, and they built their own houses.
