[Chapter 82 - Familiar Formation] It takes no effort to get it

Beihai is the largest armament port at the southern end of Chu State, since Chu Yuan ascended the throne, although there has never been a naval battle, the number of naval forces is increasing year by year, from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, when the wind blows, the black battle flag covers the sky and the sun is endless, and the loud horn sound that sounded on time every morning can almost reach the other side of the world. It is precisely for this reason that in recent years, more and more businessmen have gone to Nanyang to do business - with the support of such a strong state behind them, they are naturally not afraid of being bullied by foreign countries.

The city of Guanhai, which is subordinate to Beihai, became the most important treaty port, and merchant ships loaded with porcelain and silk set sail and gradually disappeared into the rising sun. Chu Yuan was dressed in civilian clothes and sat at a stall next to the dock and ate a bowl of fish ball soup. The stall owner is a young young student with his own doll on his back, laughing with his daughter-in-law while doing business. Chu Yuan listened interestingly, so he sat for a while longer, until Sixi came to him, and then put down a piece of broken silver and got up.

"Young Master." Sixi held an umbrella in his hand, "It looks like it's going to rain, let's go back early." ”

"What about the seniors?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Right ahead." Sixi said, "The Southwest Mansion has opened a shop in this Guanhai City, specializing in collecting pearls caught in the deep sea, and there happened to be people from the Mansion coming to receive the goods in the past few days, so Master Nan said to take a look." ”

"Pearl shop?" Chu Yuan said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Not far from the pier, there is a bustling street. The shops on both sides couldn't wait to squeeze together, most of them were doing aquatic and seafood business, and there was a fishy smell, but Chu Yuan didn't dislike it, he stopped all the way, chatted with various bosses, and finally stopped in front of a business: "Here? ”

"Yes." Sixi said, "Master Nan should still be inside." ”

Chu Yuan opened the curtain and walked in, but there was no young man to receive him, but there was a little doll of five or six years old, who was sitting at the back door and playing with his fingers. When he heard movement, he looked up curiously.

Chu Yuan saw that he was white and cute, so he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Come here." ”

The little doll stood up and asked in a milky voice, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Let's find Master Nan." Chu Yuan squatted down, "What's your name?" ”

"Xue Xiaoman." The little doll replied.

"Xiaoman?" Chu Yuan nodded, "The name is good." ”

"Master Nan is behind." The little doll stretched out her finger, "Dinner, my mother is also behind." ”

Chu Yuan said: "I'll take you to find your mother?" ”

"Okay." The little doll was too lazy to walk, reaching out and waiting to be held.

Chu Yuan picked him up, and just when he walked to the backyard, he heard Nan Moxie's loud voice, and then a woman came from the other end, it was the Jin Niang who Zhao Wu rescued from the back mountain before-she had been busy working in the Southwest Mansion some time ago, and Aunt Jin was distressed, so she asked her to come with the caravan to collect pearls, one to relax, and the other to hide and relax.

"Mother." Xiaoman stretched out his hand to call her.

Chu Yuan stopped, and the Sixi father-in-law looked a little surprised.

"Your Majesty." After seeing who it was, Jin Niang's face instantly turned pale, and she knelt down as soon as her legs were weak.

Nan Mo Ye stepped into the courtyard gate with one foot, and when he saw this scene, he was surprised: "What happened?" ”

"Let's take the child down first." Chu Yuan handed Xiao Man to Sixi.

"Your Majesty, the child is innocent." Jin Niang was in a hurry, and knelt and moved two steps forward.

Sixi covered Xiaoman's eyes and went to the front while coaxing.

Seeing this, Jin Niang stood up and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Chu Yuan stretching out her hand, turned her head and saw Nan Mo Evil, and suddenly seemed to see a savior, and knelt down when she rushed forward, "Master Nan." ”

"You get up first, get up first, what's going on." Confused, Nanmo pulled her up.

"Naturally, I don't want to be with a child, no matter who his father is." Chu Yuan said coldly, "What about Chu Xiang? ”

Nanmo was slightly surprised when he heard this, Chu Xiang?

Jin Niang even lost blood on her lips, and after a long time, she told the truth intermittently.

Jin Niang's original name was Xue Ting'er, and she was originally a dancer in Liu's mansion. Chu Xiang had a very personal relationship with Liu Jinde, and after a few banquets, he naturally brought people back to the palace. Xue Ting'er came from a humble background, so she was naturally not qualified to be a side concubine, and a few years later, Chu Xiang was exiled to Hainan.

"In that case, why do you want to come back?" Chu Yuan asked.

Jin Niang said: "When he first arrived in Hainan, he thanked me for his sincerity, which can be regarded as a favor, and even when he fled to the sea, he did not forget to take me with him." It's just that when he arrives in a new place and his life is better, he becomes more and more violent, even ......"

"Or even what?" Chu Yuan asked.

"They even want to get back on their feet." Jin Niang's voice was hoarse, "I know that he can't measure himself, but he can't see the current situation clearly, and he is touted in his ears every day, so he still has half the heart to live a good life." Seeing that he was getting more and more crazy, there was no cure, after giving birth to Xiaoman, I fled, I was not afraid of death, but I didn't want my son to be connected with him. ”

Chu Yuan said: "After leaving Hainan, where did you go?" ”

Jin Niang shook her head: "I don't know, the ship has been passing through the vast white fog for many days, and sometimes it is even impossible to distinguish between day and night." When I got to the island, he didn't allow me to wander around, and the people there were dressed in strange clothes, and there were many wizards wrapped in black cloaks. ”

When Nanmo heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

The vast white mist, the black-robed wizard, and the one qiē all seem to be consistent with the rumored Fei Burmese Kingdom.

Chu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

Nanmo was in tears, and he wanted to slap his head hard, or slap it twice - he had been looking for Tianchensha for so many years, but he didn't expect that there was a person from the Fei Burmese Kingdom in the southwest mansion. I don't know whether to say that creation makes people, or whether to complain about the life of the apprentice.

When the South China Sea left the mirror country, Duan Baiyue was wiping the Xuanming cold iron in the inn, when he saw Sikong Rui pushing the door in, holding a stack of washboards in his hand.

Duan Baiyue quipped: "Do you want to take it back and kneel?" ”

Sikong Rui's face was full of disdain: "How can I kneel on this thing?" ”

Duan Yao answered: "Yes, it's all kneeling nail boards." ”

Duan Baiyue couldn't help but smile. One mouth said that there were only two people, Sikong Rui was helpless, and he took the teapot and drank tea: "Since it is in the name of doing business, you can't do nothing, this is from the mirror of the national special production of all kinds of wooden utensils, bathtubs, baths, washboards, I picked for a long time, only this is the lightest." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Yao'er and I also inquired about something. ”

"Tell me about it." Sikong Rui came to be interested.

"No one can tell where the people on Xingzhou Island are from, but there are some vague rumors." Duan Baiyue said, "It is said that the ship comes from the north, and it has to pass through the vast white fog, if there is wind and waves during the voyage, the dry food prepared on the ship is not enough to eat, so it will use some herbs to exchange for some living necessities to the merchant ships." ”

"To the north, the white fog, the herbs, and the place is big." Sikong Rui sighed, "I can't think of a second one except for the country of Fei Burma." It seems that you are lucky, even God has to help, otherwise why didn't Chu Xiang stay elsewhere and chose this. ”

Duan Yao said: "But how do you get in?" The second brother led people to drift at sea for more than half a year, but he didn't find the specific location of the country. If it is a day or two, it can hide at the bottom of the big ship and go ashore, but it will take several months from here to the country of Fidan, to say the least, and it is not possible to just hide. ”

Sikong Rui said: "Find a fair and honest way to get involved." ”

Duan Yao was puzzled.

Sikong Rui said: "There is a place in this city, and it is said that the master has some relationship with Xingzhou. ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Where?" ”

"You may not believe it, but there really is such a coincidence in the world, and I just found out." Sikong Rui said, "There is a place in this city called Xiao Feiluan. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled dumbly: "Jing Liuxuan? ”

"It's delivered to your door." Sikong Rui said, "Before tying him back to Jing Liutian, there may be some other uses." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

The buildings of Lijing Country are quite southern characteristics, only Xiaofeiluan is located in the downtown area, and the blue wall and gray tile carved wooden windows have the charm of the south of the Great Chu River. Da Chu Feiluan Building is famous, it is said that the owner of this little Feiluan is the younger brother of the owner of Feiluan Building, and naturally the business is not far behind.

Jing Liuxuan reclined on the couch, watching the dancers in front of him perform, quite happy and romantic. This place is 108,000 miles away from Da Chu, and he naturally won't worry about being found by his brother, so he doesn't shy away from playing the signboard of Feiluan Tower. Every day, a large amount of silver comes in, and no one cares about the east and west, and the gods are happy.

The little guy ran upstairs and said that there was another guest who wanted to see him.

Jing Liuxuan sat up and waved for the dancer to stand down for the time being.

Sikong Rui pushed the door in, followed by a man in a silver mask.

"Two guests." Jing Liuxuan said, "But what news do you want to inquire about?" ”

"Exactly." Sikong Rui's attitude was respectful, "Excuse me." ”

"Well said." Jing Liuxuan smiled and called someone to serve tea, "I don't know what to inquire about?" ”

"Don't hide it, it's not down there, it's this brother down there." Sikong Rui said, "He is now uprooted from his hometown, and he wants to find a business that can make money, and he heard that the master of Jinglou has a lot of ways here, so he dared to come and ask." ”

"There are too many businesses to make money, so it's too general." Jing Liuxuan shook his head, "At least tell me what you want to do, and I'll tell you if you can do it, so it's convenient for everyone." ”

Sikong Rui said: "We also inquired for some days, and the money from the small business is too slow, and we can't look down on it." But seeing that many large merchant ships have recently carried logs to Sin Chau Island, it seems to be a good livelihood, I wonder if I can also get a piece of the pie? ”

"Do you want to do business in Sin Chew?" Jing Liuxuan shook his head, "It's absolutely impossible." ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Why?" ”

"The master on Xingzhou Island does not accept the business of strangers, let alone the business of the people of Chu." Jingliu migrated.

Sikong Rui said: "The strength of the Great Chu Merchant Gang is so strong, why don't you want to trade with it?" ”

Jing Liuxuan shook his head: "This can't be elaborated. ”

"Is there really no room for accommodation?" Sikong Rui said, "The master of Xingzhou Island doesn't like Da Chu, and my brother was also forced by Da Chu to the point that he couldn't return home, but he had a bit of backbone and refused to rely on me to steal his life, so he took the trouble to go to Nanyang, wanting to regain his strength on his own." The cost of doing business, I want as much as I have here, and he is very good at kung fu, and he is also a first-class master in the Central Plains martial arts, and he doesn't have to be afraid of pirates. ”

"Kung Fu is good?" Jing Liuhui became interested, "How good?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "One enemy hundred." ”

Jing Liuxuan shook his head: "In the ranking of rivers and lakes, there is no Your Excellency." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "The level of kung fu, you will know it when you try it, it is always more convincing than a piece of paper." ”

Jing Liuxuan asked again: "Why are you wearing a mask?" ”

Sikong Rui said on the side: "I was framed and my appearance was ruined, and I was sad about the past, so I don't want to mention it." ”

Jing Liuxuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not good to do business, but I have another errand here, which is also related to Sin Chew Island." And if it is done well, the silver is no less than the timber business. ”

"Really?" Sikong Ruixi asked, "I don't know what kind of livelihood you make?" ”

Jing Liuxuan said: "Sect leader." ”

"Good teacher." Sikong Rui high-fived and asked, "But my brother doesn't have a serious attack, what if he kills someone?" ”

"If you can be killed during military training, you can be a waste, and if you die a few waste, what can you do." Jing Liuxuan said, "It's just that before that, I want to try your master's kung fu first. ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

Jing Liuxuan said: "After talking so much, I still don't know what to call the two of you?" ”

"Well said." Sikong Rui said, "Under is the young master of Wangxi Reef Sikong Rui, this is my brother-in-law, the previous name is not mentioned, now it is necessary to be reborn, naturally to take a louder new name, the landlord can call Wang Fugui." ”

Jing Liuxuan was choked for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Brother Wang." ”

Duan Baiyue was extremely calm: "It's easy to say." ”

Sikong Rui held his hands beside him, and his smile was extremely sincere.

The appointed day was three days later, and when Duan Baiyue and Sikong Rui went, Jing Liuxuan had already arrived first, and there was a person standing beside him, it was Chu Xiang.

"Your Excellency is the master of Sin Continent?" Sikong Rui praised, "If it is really Yu Xuanang, my brother will follow Your Excellency in the future, and I hope to help you a lot." ”

"Well said." Chu Xiang smiled, "As long as you are a capable person, it is difficult to suffer if you follow me." ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Who do you want to compete with?" ”

"It's not about people." Chu Xiang pressed a large stone on his side, and a crack slowly opened in the ground.

Sikong Rui asked Jing Liuxuan in a low voice: "Compared with ghosts?" "You have to get underground.

"You'll find out when you go see it." Jing Liuxuan smiled slightly, unfathomable.

Duan Baiyue jumped down, and in a moment, the soles of her feet touched the ground, which was not high.

The rest of the people also jumped into the dark room, the walls were lit with pearls, the light was very dim, but they could also see clearly in a clearing in front of them, neatly lined up with more than a dozen nine-foot bronze figures.

It was the Eight Desolations Formation.
