Chapter 73: The Ghost Lingers
Yun Mo and the three of them got on the pompous and fancy boat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Gongzi has already led everyone to wait for them on the deck. When he saw Yun Mo, he immediately greeted him, "Zhou was on the boat just now, and he saw Brother Tai at a glance." It was like a home at first sight. The younger brother went to invite his brother to come to the brother with his friend, and if there is any offense, I hope the brother will forgive me. ”
"If you know it's an offense, you still send someone to it, isn't that a knowingly offense!" Murong Lingfeng said unceremoniously.
For a while, everyone couldn't get off the stage, Yun Mo patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Little brother got up too early today, and his anger hasn't subsided yet." How offended. ”
Murong Lingfeng glared at him, turned his face away and didn't say anything more.
Everyone laughed, and this matter was brought over.
Zhou Gongzi led them into the cabin, which was probably a canteen. At the front of the dining hall was a large round table, with two smaller ones on each side, which were already full, and only the large table was still empty. Zhou Gongzi personally invited them to the position of the main table, ordered his subordinates to have a banquet, and got up to pour a glass of wine for Yun Mo, "In the next Zhou Xin, I haven't asked my brother Taizun's name yet." ”
"Cloud desert. The prince raised his glass and nodded slightly at him.
Zhou Xin smiled, "It turned out to be Yun Gongzi." Then who is this ......?" his eyes looked at Murong Lingfeng.
"Yunxiao. The little boy crossed Erlang's legs, tilted his head and didn't look at him, and said locally.
As he spoke, the ship was already over, and Zhou Xin raised his glass and toasted everyone, "Everyone, I wish us all the best and a smooth arrival in Beiyang." ”
Everyone else in the dining hall also came back to pay tribute to Zhou Xin, and they all said some New Year's greetings. For a while, the cups were staggered, and Zhou Xin also invited the Qin Ji dancer to cheer everyone up, and in the lobby, you respect me and I respect you, so it's not lively.
Yun Mo listened for a while and probably knew that this Zhou Xin should be from Beiyang, doing fur business, this is to Dongluo to discuss business, it seems that the conversation is good, and he returns with a full load.
Murong Lingfeng was suspicious, "It's almost summer now, can you still sell the fur for a price if you pull it back?"
"Hahaha, the little master has never been to Beiyang at first glance!" A middle-aged man in his forties next to him happily came over to explain her doubts, "Little young master doesn't know, all year round, it snows in Beiyang for three seasons, and the season when it doesn't snow is also very cold." Fur will always be in short supply in Beiyang!" The middle-aged man raised his glass and saluted Zhou Xin, "The Zhou family has been in the fur business for generations, and it is one of the largest households in Beiyang!
Murong Lingfeng disagreed, and told her that there was a lot of money, but the little boy really didn't pay attention to it, "Rich and rivals the country, why haven't I heard that there is such a surname as Zhou in the top ten families?"
"This is different, it's different!" the middle-aged man leaned into Murong Lingfeng's ear and lowered his voice, "The top ten families all have historical origins, and they have existed longer than the Four Kingdoms, and the background is there, which can be compared to him by the Zhou family." ”
The two were chatting, when suddenly a figure passed between the two, "Borrowed." ”
The middle-aged man was squeezed back two steps, and his face was a little unkind. "Who are these people? I don't know any rules!"
Murong Lingfeng also glanced sideways at the man, he was a young man in his twenties and thirties, with an average appearance, and he was the kind of person who would never be found if he threw it into the crowd. But Murong Lingfeng felt that he was very familiar. "Who is he?"
"A friend of Zhou Gongzi. The middle-aged man pointed to the table in the corner, "They are a group, and I don't know where Zhou Gongzi got it, they all don't know the rules." ”
The man didn't look at Murong Lingfeng again, but he straightened his index finger and touched the bridge of his nose, pinched his cheek again, and then hid in the crowd.
Murong Lingfeng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his brows furrowed slightly, "Alas, this ship is really uncomfortable, I'll go to the deck to breathe." ”
The middle-aged man also smiled and followed, "The little young master hasn't been on a boat much, right? In fact, Zhou Gongzi's boat is not fast, but it is a little small, and there are a lot of people in the lobby, and the taste is not good when there are many people, so it is estimated that it is a little stuffy. Little master, you are right, just go on the deck and breathe. ”
Murong Lingfeng walked in front, and the middle-aged man followed behind, still talking a bunch of nonsense, the little boy finally couldn't help it, stopped, turned around and asked him, "What are you doing with me?"
"Hehe, Liu just wants to make friends with the little master. ”
Murong Lingfeng looked at him suspiciously, "They all want to make friends with my brother, why do you want to come and make friends with me?" The little boy's question was not unreasonable, and everyone with long eyes could see that Yun Mo was the one in charge. Make friends with a little hairy kid like her, don't say that this person really hit her off at first sight.
The middle-aged man looked left and right, and his smile gradually changed, "There are many kinds of friendships, Liu wants to ...... with the little young master" Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the neck by a hand stretched out in the dark and fell to the ground.
A person came out of the shadows, it was the young man who was not good-looking just now, and the man kicked the old man who was paralyzed on the deck, "The toad wants to eat swan meat, what is there to ask!"
Murong Lingfeng looked at the young man with a look of disgust, "How can I meet you anywhere?"
The young man shrugged, "Who told you not to hide your whereabouts, let us find out every time." How tired I am from running after you all over the continent! I have long wanted to go back to the dry mountains and sleep comfortably. ”
That's right, this person is Shen Qing, who has changed his appearance. This person is both good and evil, and Murong Lingfeng can't figure out which side he is, but it is also true that he helped him last time, otherwise Song Xiao would not have escaped from the inn so easily.
"Are you admitting that you're following us?"
Shen Qing nodded, "Yes." If you want the Seven Elixirs, who else can the little valley master who doesn't follow the Nine Deaths Valley?"
"Do you really want the Seven Elixirs?" Murong Lingfeng had always been suspicious of this, from the beginning, when the ghost met her, he didn't mention the Seven Elixirs, but was very interested in what she got in that strange space.
Shen Qing leaned against the mast, "What do you think we're looking for?"
Shen Qing's attitude confirmed the little boy's suspicions, "Anyway, it's not the Seven Elixirs, but it's inseparable from the Seven Elixirs." ”
Shen Qing looked at her with a smile, "It's smart, or the master wants to take you under his command if he loses his troops and generals." He turned over and looked at the rippling river that had been rowed by the boat, "Yes, the seven elixirs have never been the point, if you insist on it, they should be regarded as ...... Key. ”
Sure enough, the reason why they were able to enter those strange spaces was because of the presence of the Seven Elixirs.
Shen Qing looked at Murong Lingfeng thoughtfully, "Actually, I have heard another prophecy, the one who can open the ancient grotto is not the seven elixirs, but the person who can get the seven elixirs. ”
Murong Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Shen Qing waved his hand, "It's okay, you just think I'm talking nonsense." It's too cumbersome to explain. He looked left and right, "There are often secret sentinels patrolling this ship, and we don't have much time, so I'll pick the key points." Zhou Xin is actually the little apprentice of the black scorpion old demon, but he has always hidden his identity and never mentioned it to the public. Most of the people on the boat know your identity, and only a small number of ignorant rats are deceived by Zhou Xin to send them to death. As he spoke, he kicked the middle-aged man who had passed out on the ground.
"The order given to Zhou Xin by the old demon of the black scorpion is to let him capture you alive, and then kill the prince and throw him into the sea to feed the fish. However, it seems that Zhou Xin has fallen in love with the prince, and now he is afraid that he is coveting your princess. Shen Qing pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing as he spoke, he was looking forward to this big drama.
Murong Ling's atmosphere is knotted. She said that the attitude of the surnamed Zhou was wrong, and sure enough, it was Yun Momo, who attracted bees and butterflies, and attracted another big hornet. "How could Yun Momo look down on him!"
Shen Qing deliberately provoked her, "Who knows about feelings!" He changed his words, and there was a little disappointment in his tone, "But Zhou Xin probably didn't dare to disobey the order of the old black scorpion demon, after all, his life was in the hands of that old monster." ”
Speaking of this, Murong Lingfeng was even more suspicious of Shen Qing, "Then why did you betray your master and help me in turn?"
"The Tao is different, not the same. This reason is reasonable, but it is unexpected, Shen Qing is not a person with a sense of justice. Shen Qing's face turned red when Murong Lingfeng saw it, "Okay, okay, I think you are more pleasing to the eye than the old monsters, is this okay?"
Murong Lingfeng nodded, this was something like he Shen Qing could say. "Then aren't you afraid that the black scorpion old demon will find out?"
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows indifferently, "He already found out." ”
Murong Lingfeng was puzzled, "Then he still won't clean you up and clean up the portal?"
"There's no way, the old monster can't bear me!" Shen Qing laughed very badly, "I'm the only bargaining chip he has in the immortal class." ”
"What do you mean?"
Shen Qing glanced at the two men who were walking over with knives not far away, "Are you sure we have to delay the time to talk about this?" he dragged Murong Lingfeng and whispered in her ear, "This ship is full of danger, you had better leave as soon as possible." They are going to do it tonight, and you will come to the bow of the boat at three o'clock in the morning, and there is a spare boat, and I will put it down and help you out. After speaking, Shen Qing flashed and left.
When the patrol came over, they saw Murong Lingfeng lying on the mast and patting his chest, seemingly very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "This son, what are you doing here?"
Murong Lingfeng's face turned pale and he covered his mouth and retched a few times, "I didn't get used to it for the first time on a boat. It's better to come out and blow the wind. Oh yes," she said, gesturing at the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground, "he just fell and knocked his head on the railing and fainted, so get him into the house." With that, she threw herself on the mast and retched.
Although the patrolling people had doubts, they couldn't ask why, so they could only leave one person to accompany Murong Lingfeng, and the other person dragged the middle-aged man back to the cabin.
Murong Lingfeng retched for a long time and didn't vomit anything, she took the water handed by the guard, rinsed her mouth, turned around and leaned on the railing to return to the lobby.
At this time, the lobby is much quieter than before, the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, and people have to calm down and enjoy it, but there are also some drunkards who don't mean to drink.
As soon as Murong Lingfeng came in, he saw Yun Mo at a glance - Zhou Xin who was about to sit on him next to him. Zhou Xin has been communicating with Yun Mo about something, but the prince's face has already shown some impatience, and he only agrees to his words without a word. Combined with Shen Qing's words just now, the little boy suddenly became angry - dare to dig into her corner?!
Murong Lingfeng squeezed into the middle of Yun Mo and Zhou Xin, separated them from each other, and leaned into Yun Mo's arms sickly, his tone was weak and had a coquettish taste, "Brother, I have a headache." ”
Yun Mo hurriedly touched her forehead, there was no fever. He was still not at ease, so he gently pressed it for her, "What's the matter, isn't it okay in the morning?"
"Dizzy. Murong Lingfeng said weakly. "Brother, when will we be able to go ashore? I'm uncomfortable, let's not take the waterway?" the little boy said with some crying in his tone, and I felt pity.
The men present were all moved, not to mention the prince who was bent on her, but at this time they were in the middle of the Sumy River, and there was really no way, "I'll accompany you back to lie down first, let's get off the boat at the next ferry, okay?"
Murong Lingfeng pouted and nodded reluctantly.
Yun Mo said hello to Zhou Xin apologetically, and then helped Murong Lingfeng back to the room that Zhou Xin had prepared for them.
As soon as he entered the room, Murong Lingfeng immediately broke free of Yun Mo's hand, looked at him with a smile, and his previous illness was gone, "How is it, how is the acting skills of the young master?"
Yun Mo nodded, "Not bad." ”
"So you're pretending to be sick!" shouted Su Liqing, who came back after them. He was really worried about her.
Murong Lingfeng hurriedly gestured to him, "Shhh It's like a tail, how annoying!"
Yun Mo took out the small snacks he bought for her before and treated her, no matter how she said it, she hadn't eaten for half a day, she should have been hungry a long time ago, "What's the matter, what did Shen Qing say?"
"It's pretty much the same as what we analyzed before. Murong Lingfeng conveyed everything Shen Qing said to Yun Mo, "But we can't be sure how credible this person is, I think it's better for us to go by ourselves." ”
Yun Mo also agreed with the little boy's statement, "Then let's put on another play." Before you reach the next ferry crossing. ”
Yun Mo's words made the other party also confused, and the ghost face walked around Zhou Xin's room, "No, we can't let them get off the boat, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to start again." ”
"Then let's do it now. Zhou Xin thrushed himself in the mirror and said indifferently.
"No, no. Ghost Face hesitated again, "I have seen Murong Lingfeng's illusion technique, as soon as she makes a move, we will have to be wiped out! Not to mention that there is also the Holy Prince, these so-called masters you have found are not the opponents of the Saint Prince." ”
Zhou Xin put down his eyebrow pencil and looked at him coldly, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work." So what do you say?"
Ghost Face clenched his fists, "Only when the formation is completed can we trap Murong Lingfeng, and we will be able to succeed." We have to find a way to keep them!"
Zhou Xin smiled, "I have a way, I don't know if you are willing?" )
