Chapter Ninety-Six: Departure
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Bai Shi finally came to the Zhuangzi of Shangqing Palace at the foot of the mountain, and Su Ling personally greeted him, for the young master of the Bai family, he must not slack off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"But what kind of wind blew Young Master Bai here?" Su Ling asked with her hands down.
"Lord Su Feng, the Bai family recently discovered a spirit stone vein mine, because it is difficult to mine, it is necessary to find capable people to go deep into the hinterland of Nanshan, I wonder if Longhu Mountain has the intention of cooperating together?" Shiraishi said.
Su Ling was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved, and he said with a smile: "This matter is very good, it is easy to say, if it is wealth, the young master also knows the current situation in Longhu Mountain......"
Shiraishi nodded slightly, and the fingers behind his back touched the delicate cuffs, looking absent-minded.
Su Ling has been paying attention to him, except for his identity as the young master of a big family, Bai Shi is undoubtedly an extremely excellent man no matter what aspect he looks at.
"The head of Longhu Mountain has not been found yet, should this matter be discussed with other peak masters?"
The other peak masters, the peak masters who are still alive and still in Longhu Mountain, besides him, also have Cheng Qinghe. Su Ling walked a few steps and understood his intention, of course, he didn't pick it out, and said to him: "This matter is a good thing that benefits Longhu Mountain, if the person in charge knows about it, he will definitely agree." ”
Bai Shi frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, roughly explained the matter of arranging manpower, and then said goodbye and left, but when he walked to the door, his footsteps were paused again, and he turned around and asked: "I haven't seen you for some days, I don't know if Lord Cheng Feng's injury is healed?" ”
Su Ling raised her eyebrows and sighed: "This matter is a long story, why don't you ask Young Master Bai to sit down and talk, a few days ago there was a chess game, I don't know if the young master is interested?" ”
Bai Shi hesitated slightly, on the one hand, he was worried about Cheng Qinghe these days, but on the other hand, he deliberately didn't want to know about her situation from others, especially after that night.
Seeing this, Su Ling hurriedly sighed again, "Young Master Bai is really a busy man, he was still the hall master of Longhu Mountain before, if it is, Longhu Mountain is not as good as before!" ”
Because Longhu Mountain has been occupying the majority of the past hundred years, suppressing the four major families and not daring to plunder each other, but now that Longhu Mountain is in decline, the four major families are afraid that sooner or later there will be a war, fortunately, there is no pawn book, at least it can be delayed for a while, Baishi's trip is not all for Cheng Qinghe, of course, there is also the meaning of pulling Longhu Mountain, after all, to say that the Bai family wants people, and they will shake their arms at will, and some people are flocking to it, not to mention that it is a great good thing such as Lingshi Vein Mine.
At that moment, Su Ling also knew that Bai Shi listened to his invitation, thinking that Cheng Qinghe's injury was afraid that it would be repeated, so he sat on the edge of the chessboard.
Su Ling Heizi, Baishi held white, and each of them lost a son, "I'm afraid the situation in the hinterland of Nanshan is not good, if you want to send someone, you have to think of a complete strategy." Su Ling didn't mention Cheng Qinghe, and first got down to business.
"Exactly, since the Bai family has taken this matter, they must have a complete plan, and this trip will send three foundation building period monks, and one Jindan stage leader, the peak master does not need to worry too much."
Generous, that's the benefit of door-to-door delivery. Su Ling nodded when she heard this, and gave another shot.
You come and go, the two are comparable, you know, Baishi is from everyone, in addition to the famous single killing decisiveness, he is also a winning general in the chess game.
A quarter of an hour later, the Bai family's attendants, who were guarding outside the Dragon Tiger Mountain Manor, saw Bai Shi walk out with a cold face, although it seemed to be the same as usual, but the entourage still felt the sudden drop in air pressure around him.
Oh, it's rare!
"Immediately, go to the nearest pier." He said word by word, then sat in the car and rubbed his eyebrows, and Su Ling's regretful reply appeared in his mind: "It's really unfortunate, Qinghe has already traveled this morning, I'm afraid that I want to find her Mengze Peak Lord Sun Cheng to come back to preside over the overall situation, if you chase it now, it is possible to catch up." ”
One year, the elder passed by Baishi, and when he saw him coming out of the gate of the villa with a cold breath, he couldn't help but be a little curious, although the two were not particularly familiar, but they had been together for a while.
This elder is Li Zhongji, who was recovered, and now assumes the position of acting peak master of Danxia Peak.
"Master Su Feng, as a disciple who has just started, I am afraid that he will not be able to take on the position of acting peak master." He made a gesture as he entered.
"Peace of mind, in Longhu Mountain, you have never spoken with seniority, since Qinghe has handed over all the affairs of Danxia Peak to you, I must believe that you have this ability."
When it comes to alchemy, Li Zhongchen is the most talented person in this session, followed by the elderly, and the people below are not too rebellious.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, although Li Zhongzhen was ashamed in his heart, but Longhu Mountain was in this situation, and it was really a little tricky, "Okay, Li did his best, Li wanted to recommend someone, this person is far superior to me in alchemy, and in terms of teaching, it is better for him to come." ”
"Oh? Who is it? ”
……
The two of them talked carefully, but they were unanimously silent about the matter of Shiraishi, and others may not know it, but these two people saw everything in their eyes.
Baishi is not suitable for Cheng Qinghe, at least not at this time, if the two are together at this time, with the Bai family's status in the cultivation realm, it is undoubtedly to roast Cheng Qinghe on the fire.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The whistle sounded, and the steamer opened up with great force, carrying a boatload of people into the distance, but was ordered to stop after a while.
"Stop, stop, stop." Someone came into the wheelhouse, and the captain looked horrified, "You, what are you doing here?" Although the Bai family is powerful, they can't do such a forcible thing, right? "He sailed out in a boat, I don't know if he was going to be deprived by several families, the Bai family is famous in the Tao, and he is tolerant, is it becoming like this at this time?
"Don't be nervous, captain, the Bai family came up to find someone, something important, something important, and it won't be delayed for too long." The Bai family attendant patted his chest, and then handed him a cigarette.
The captain shook his fingers and took it, glanced at the sign, and his eyes widened, "Alas, it's easy to say." "Just now this man came in single-handedly through the window, startling him, thinking that he had come to rob him.
The Bai family's entourage stood on the deck and looked at the young master of his family with a cold face, and then went down again with a blue face, touched the back of his head, and hurriedly chased after him.
It's just that the monk is confused!
On the other side of the massive steamer, a ship carrying cargo rushed out like an arrow from a string.
A girl fell on top of the goods, looking at the blue sky above her head stupidly, a little confused at first, but after a while, she gradually became firm.
Shangyu City is very large, this pier is the way to go to the city center before leaving Longhu Mountain, because this boundary is the territory of the cultivation realm, it is almost a cultivator, if you take the waterway, the tariff is also very cheap, as long as a spiritual object can be handled, but the vitality of Longhu Mountain is greatly damaged, and all things are left in the mountain gate array.
Only the freighter that carries the cargo can be paid for in the mortal yuan.
"Mom, why are we here? Such a hot day. ”
A woman dressed as a noblewoman wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Didn't Mom tell you?" Remember Qinghe, right? Didn't you play with her a lot when you were a kid? Your aunt's daughter. ”
"That? Isn't it already dead? Her daughter is only in her teens, and she looks a little similar to Cheng Qinghe, but the difference is that she is now also a little star with some worth.
"What nonsense?" The woman gave her a snort, looked around, to be honest, she was very surprised when she received the phone call just now, since she left Yuzhen and went to Shangyu City, she had almost forgotten that her deceased sister had such a daughter.
"Hello auntie, I'm Qinghe, I'll arrive at you in the afternoon. Walking by water. ”
Then he replied to her a few times, and hung up the phone with a click, this faint impatient virtue was the same as her daughter's.
If it weren't for Cheng Ming who left a huge sum of money for Cheng Qinghe after his disappearance, she wouldn't have bothered to take care of her. Didn't Yucun Development give him six or seven yuan of the orchard red?
Since she is a family, she naturally has a share.
"See people later, be polite, don't talk nonsense." As she spoke, she pinched her daughter's arm again.
The daughter stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to be angry.
"Little girl, are you going to go to your relatives?" The only worker in charge of unloading the cargo on the freighter asked, it was a young man, almost in his twenties, very tanned, but when he smiled, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, and he looked very honest.
"yes." Cheng Qinghe sat up and pursed his lips slightly.
The captain was an old man in his fifties and sixties, smoking a dry cigarette and staring thoughtfully at the water.
"Looking young, who is in the family?" Young people sit down and gossip.
"There is an aunt at home, and if I remember correctly, my aunt has a daughter." Cheng Qinghe looked at him, "It's a little like me." ”
"Like good, like good, like you look good." He touched the back of his head.
Cheng Qinghe still smiled, and then touched the goods under her head with both hands, she didn't feel it before, but although it was faint at this time, she still smelled a sullen smell.
"Is there some rule from above that things from the cultivation realm cannot be brought to the mortal realm?"
Although the place under Longhu Mountain is not too big, there are many mountains, and there are rules that say that things in the two worlds cannot be communicated.
The most important thing is that Longhu Mountain is now the territory she manages.
"Hahaha, that's what I said, Longhu Mountain is strictly controlled, because most people don't dare to bring it, and those things that can be brought are just spirit beast fur skeletons or something, and it's useless." Young people.
"Be vigilant, do more, talk less, and you're about to reach Muling." The captain let out a puff of white smoke and suddenly answered.
Cheng Qinghe pursed his lips and was silent, useless? The fur and bones of spirit animals? It's very useful.
Su Ling once told her this, now it is not as delicate as before, the relationship between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm is very delicate, or rather, there is some tension, everything in the cultivation realm cannot fall into the hands of ordinary humans.
Muling is a branch of the waterway, because of the poor countryside here, there are often evil cultivators ambushed on the ridge to rob, not to mention the big steamer of the people, this kind of small freighter, is the best to start.
But the road was smooth sailing, and no one appeared until they crossed the Muling Ridge, and the young man stopped talking, and his status was visible.
"When can I arrive at the pier in the center of Shangyu?"
The young man glanced at the captain but did not answer.
"Two more hours." The captain said.
"How many supply depots have there been lately? I want to go down for a trip, the price is good. ”
"There are three, but it's better to leave the ship only once, not more than five minutes, and it's too late."
Cheng Qinghe smiled, "I want to go down in the closest place to the center and run errands." ”
The captain put down the dry tobacco and looked her up and down.
Cheng Qinghe felt something unusual, stood up, and saw many small beasts chasing the ship on both sides of the road.
It was a suburb, and there were no people living there, and she looked at the captain in front of her, and saw that he was also watching, and his hand was clenched and loose.
"These spirit beasts are enthusiastic, and they are not afraid of people at all, do you say yes or no?" She smiled, her eyes a little cold.
"It's fine. The spirit animals in these places are like this, as soon as they see people, they want to come and beg for food, just like animals in zoos. The captain grinned and grinned.
The latter raised his eyebrows, and when he saw them drifting away, he lay down again and closed his eyes.
As soon as I came out, I encountered such a thing, and it seems that Longhu Mountain needs to be rectified.
And at the place of departure, Bai Shi looked at the lake in front of him with heavy eyes, and there was a lingering depression in his heart, Cheng Qinghe, you can't wait to escape from me like this? Avoid me like a beast?
"Young master?" The entourage who didn't dare to come out cautiously asked, "Why don't your subordinates charter a boat to chase after now?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Shi looked away and turned around: "No need, tell the Bai family to evacuate Longhu Mountain." ”
"Young master!?" The entourage exclaimed, he followed his side recently, and looked at everything in his eyes, he knew that the current situation If the Bai family withdraws from Longhu Mountain at this time, the four major families will lose their balance, and the life of Shangqing Palace will not be easy.
But as an entourage, he knows what to say and what not to say, because the head of the Bai family, Shiraishi is always the light that leads the way.
……
"Pancakes, pancakes, delicious freshly made pancakes." ……
An hour and a half passed, the cargo ship had reached the last supply station, Cheng Qinghe got off the boat, and the captain told her to come back early, and when he saw her go farther and farther, he turned around and told the young man to pull the rope and tie it, and it was about to leave.
"Boat, captain, she's not back yet......"
The captain knocked on the cigarette stick on the window: "I said let's go, it's an eventful time now, be careful, and besides, it's not far from the main pier, don't worry about her." ”
"This ......" The young man hesitated, but he obediently unleashed the leash.
The captain nodded in satisfaction, started the freighter, and with a few clicks, gradually left the supply station. (To be continued.) )
