"This ...... This ......" Facing Xu Chen's smiling expression, Zheng Tai lowered his head and hesitated, and suddenly the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a nearby figure, so he pulled the man over, pushed the man in front of Xu Chen, and said, "Liu Shan, come on!"

The person who was pulled over by Zheng Tai was a tall young man, this person was called Liu Shan, and he was Zheng Tai's right-hand man. In fact, Liu Shan's previous name was Liu San, and he was Peng Ze's subordinate who was sent to save Xu Chen's face when Xu Chen first went to Changshan Island, and later after Peng Ze followed Xu Chen, Liu San was assigned to Zheng Tai's sailors. Since following Xu Chen and them, Liu San has eaten well and exercised enough, and it didn't take long for his body to gradually grow, plus he was exposed to the wind and sun on weekdays, and his tendons and flesh were swarthy, and he had already become a mighty man. In addition, after learning some culture and knowing a lot of words, he felt that the name Liu San was too substandard, so he begged Zheng Tai to change his name. Who knew that Zheng Tai didn't have the talent to be named at all, so he changed his words without changing his pronunciation, and named him "Liu Shan". Liu Shan had no choice but to respond, but fortunately, Liu Shan's figure is now more and more upright and strong, and he really lives up to the name of "mountain".

At this moment, Liu Shan was pulled by Zheng Tai, and he didn't forget to say in his mouth: "Why are you pulling me!"

Zheng Tai stood behind Liu Shan, so he heard his muttering clearly, so Zheng Tai looked at Xu Chen with a smile, and at the same time leaned into Liu Shan's ear and muttered: "Pay attention to you, who are you looking for?"

"But when you do it, boss, aren't you also quite positive!" Liu Shan complained again.

When Zheng Tai heard this, his face was still smiling, but the hand on Liu Shan's wrist pinched it hard, Liu Shan couldn't bear the pain, and shouted loudly: "Ah!"

"Ah what?" Xu Chen asked, Zheng Tai's small movements he naturally saw clearly, so he needed to figure things out more, not that he didn't believe in his brothers, but because he cared so much, so he wanted to know what the brothers had done, but it was a bit like the elders chattering to the juniors.

"Ahh ”

"But this is a waste of time, isn't it! And we have to be exploited by the black-hearted maritime merchants again, and when we go back the second time, won't we learn to be smart! So we bypassed those merchants and went directly to the local natives to buy grain, but when we arrived at the places where the natives lived, we found out, by the way, it turns out that these guys don't grow grain at all, and all those rice grows in the field, which is quite a lot, but if we harvest it ourselves, when will it have to wait!"

"Only then did we understand why those black-hearted maritime merchants were so fearless! It turned out that they had all the manpower in their hands, and without them, we would not be able to find anyone who could cut rice even if we had money!"

"Then we thought we couldn't be controlled by people, so we went to the periphery of their town...... Go to ......"

When Liu Shan said this, his words began to flicker.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Chen frowned and asked again.

"Alas...... I'll tell you the truth! It takes time to buy grain, and I can't find anyone to harvest it myself, so I thought, let's just cover our faces and rob him! What kind of background did I come from? What kind of robbers I am! I can't forget my roots!" After Liu Shan opened his words, there was no burden, and the more he spoke, the smoother he became: "Later, the more he robbed, the more he grabbed it, the more he grabbed it, and he grabbed it all the way to the sea.

Ignoring the complacent Liu Shan, Xu Chen looked at Zheng Tai and asked, "Is that the case?"

Zheng Tai nodded honestly: "Mmmm! But we only rob foreigners! But all the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, we all buy them at the market price, but they are just ...... Get the goods first, and then give the money......"

Zheng Tai lowered his head as he spoke, but the corner of his eye kept peeking at his eldest brother's reaction.

After Xu Chen knew, he just replied lightly: "Oh!"

Then Xu Chen continued: "After you come back this time, don't go for the time being!"

"Ah, don't, big brother! It's a big deal, we won't rob it next time......" Zheng Tai heard this, he was anxious, Zheng Tai, who had been out of the ocean a few times, could be regarded as completely in love with the feeling of crisscrossing the world, if he didn't let him go to sea, then he wouldn't have to die of hardship!

Xu Chen didn't wait for him to finish, then looked at him and said, "Recently, there has been a shortage of manpower, and those people have already been killed, and you people have to do it!"

When Zheng Tai heard this, his expression turned grim, and he immediately asked out loud: "So, it was really those people who fought with the eldest brother just now?"

Zheng Tai was on his way back when he suddenly received a report from the lookout, saying that there was a strange celestial reaction in the northeast direction! After Zheng Tai got the report, he immediately came to the deck and looked at it with a high-powered telescope, and really saw that the weather a hundred miles away in the northeast was somewhat abnormal, and the sky seemed to be a hurricane, but the surrounding sea was calm. Zheng Tai was originally a curious master, and as soon as he saw such a strange celestial phenomenon, he immediately ordered the fleet to turn and sail towards this place.

When Zheng Tai got closer, he found that there were several turtle boats on the sea, and when he came out, he found that his eldest brother Xu Chen was also here.

Now that I heard my eldest brother say this, and then think about the weird celestial phenomenon just now, where can Zheng Tai not understand!

"Great! I can finally fight with these guys!" As soon as Zheng Tai heard the news, the regret just now suddenly disappeared. Jung Tae is not only curious, but also somewhat aggressive, and without such a character, he cannot control this sea of dangers. If there is anything more exciting for Zheng Tai than going to sea, it is naturally to fight with these mysterious people!

"Well, let's go! Go back to the state and go slowly!" Xu Chen nodded slightly. But then he added: "In addition, when you grab things in the future, remember to be quick with your hands and feet, and don't leave anyone with any handles." ”

"Hmm, hmm, big brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Zheng Tai was slightly stunned when he heard his eldest brother's words, and then he understood.

The five sailing ships then set sail and headed for Shengzhou. Along the way, according to Xu Chen's orders, the sailboat reduced its speed to a minimum, and at the same time, the sailors were on guard day and night.

However, a day and a night passed like this, and when they were about to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River, Xu Chen and the others still did not find anyone.

Looking at the pillar of light on his shoulder, which had completely dimmed, Xu Chen's expression was extremely heavy, the other party did not find it, it did not mean that the other party had given up, but it was very likely that he was waiting for him somewhere!

"Full sails! Rush back to the state at full speed!" Xu Chen ordered with a heavy face.

Immediately, the sailboat raised all the sails, and the speed was increased at once.

It didn't take long for Shengzhou City to be in sight!

In front of Yanziji, Xu Chen stood on the deck, looking at the Shengzhou city wall in the distance, the smoke of the fierce battle had not yet dispersed, and the broken battlements could still be seen everywhere on the city wall, and the craftsmen were busy repairing it.

The battle of the rebels attacking the city is over! Seeing that the banner of the Tang Dynasty was still floating at the head of the city, Xu Chen naturally knew the result of the battle that day.

As soon as Xu Chen's huge sailing ships docked, Zhou Kang in Shengzhou City got the news and rushed over quickly.

"Big brother!" As soon as Xu Chen got off the boat, Zhou Kang greeted him and said, "Wan An is waiting for you in Shengzhou City!"

"Who?" Xu Chen was a little surprised, so he asked again.

"Wan An, the master of the Grandmaster Realm of the Yuzhang Wanjia!" Zhou Kang said again.

"He?" Xu Chen was a little puzzled, but in a moment, he faintly guessed some of the other party's intentions.

"Let's go, let's see!" said Xu Chen, who was about to rush to the city.

"Also, Song Qing also came back, and brought something very important. Zhou Kang said again.

"What about people?" asked Xu Chen.

"Big brother, I'm here!" Hearing this, a person immediately popped up behind Zhou Kang, it was Song Qing!

Xu Chen didn't immediately greet Song Qing, but turned his head and glared at Zhou Kang: "Fourth, can you finish speaking next time?"

"Be calm! You taught!" Zhou Kang still looked calm.

Xu Chen's eyes were stunned, and he no longer paid attention to him, but asked Song Qing, "What did the old monk ask you to bring?"

Since Song Qing came, he must have come with the information of the abbot of Huihui Neng, and since he came in person, the weight of this information is not low.

Song Qing heard the eldest brother's inquiry, and hurriedly took out a package from his arms, handed it to Xu Chen, and said: "Abbot Huineng said that the two most powerful people among those people have been stopped by him and Wan Jia, and this time they can't catch up!

Xu Chen immediately opened the things that were wrapped in layers, and after taking it out, he saw that it was a jade plate, with a faint light flickering on it, and the back of the jade plate was a Taiji Yin-Yang Fish, and there was another layer of hazy mist on the Yin-Yang Fish.

At this moment, on the front of the jade plate, there are more than a dozen red dots densely packed on the map of mountains and rivers, which are constantly flashing, and if you look closely, these red dots are all gathered in a very small range! Look again, there is a city in the center of this range, when Xu Chen pointed his finger to the city, two characters appeared on the surface of the jade plate, this word Xu Chen didn't recognize at first glance, but after a while, Xu Chen's mind suddenly appeared two other words!

It is the word "Shengzhou"!
