Chapter 777: Meeting the Old Man
Chen Lin laughed, he has always been broad-minded, and he also has an optimistic attitude towards things, although he has suffered repeated setbacks emotionally, but he quickly cheered up, some things are always unreluctant, as Wolf Yuan said, why not choose to forget! After meeting Fu Mujin in Cloud Piercing City, he regains hope of returning to his original world, and instead of indulging in the pain of emotional loss, he should continue to work hard to return to the past world.
"What are you laughing at?" Ya Yi'an said with a glare.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "I plan to go to the Lander Empire for a spin, are you going?"
Ya Yi'an made a look of hard thinking, and said for a long time: "Actually, I still have something to do."
"Then I won't force you!" Chen Lin said briskly.
Ya Yi'an hurriedly said: "But for the sake of friends, I can put my own affairs aside for a while."
Xuan'er let out a string of silver bell-like smiles: "Great, with Brother Yi'an leading the way, our trip to the Lander Empire will be much smoother."
Ya Yi'an was curious: "How do you know that I have been to Piaoxiang City?"
Xuan'er said: "Brother Yi'an's Bo Gu is very knowledgeable, even if he has never been there, he must be extremely familiar with everything in Piaoxiang City."
Ya Yi'an felt very comfortable in his heart when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "I am indeed familiar with it, and there are still my old friends in the city!"
Xuan'er snorted with a red face: "You are so serious!"
Ya Yi'an laughed and said, "Chen Lin is more serious than me, why don't you see you saying that he is here?"
Chen Lin raised his foot and kicked Ya Yi'an's ass lightly: "Less nonsense!" Let's go!"
Ya Yi'an's mind is extremely flexible, according to his analysis, the war between the Lander Empire and the Xuanwu Empire has now spread to the line of the Igulaba River, the more south the war will affect the area, the more chaotic the situation is, they are in the north of the Xuanwu Empire, where the terrain is barren and inaccessible, and the further west they go, the more desolate it becomes, a world where wild beasts and barbarians are rampant.
Yayian drew a rough topographical map on the sandy soil and said: "The Igulaba River is the boundary between the two countries, and the northernmost tributary is called the Wuji River, and at the entrance of the tributary there is a small crossing, which is the one in front. We can take a boat along the Endless River and head west, through the Bears Ears Forest, all the way to the territory of the Lander Empire. ”
Ya Yi'an pointed to both sides of the Wuzhong River: "The south is the Bear's Ears Forest, which is full of wild beasts, I heard that there are many cannibals, and the north belongs to the frozen soil of the ice field, which is where the ruins of the original Snow Vast Country are located, and there are a few people from the Snow Vast Country who still live on this land." He drew a circle at the end of the Endless River and said, "If it goes well, we should be able to go ashore in the ruins of Sand City after seven days of sailing, which is surrounded by a desert infested with countless thieves." Ya Yi'an showed a wry smile and said: "Three years ago, I brought a batch of goods ashore from here, and I was robbed of them all as soon as I walked into the desert, if I didn't meet a savior, I am afraid that even this life will be lost on the Chiludong Desert."
Chen Lin said: "Although this road is full of unknown dangers, it is better than going south and encountering thousands of troops."
Ya Yi'an nodded and said, "It is precisely for this reason that I am thinking that with your current strength and my wisdom, I should be able to reach Piaoxiang City smoothly. ”
Chen Lin scolded with a smile: "You have a bullshit wisdom!" ”
"The exit is dirty, there are beautiful women, can you maintain a gentlemanly demeanor!" Ya Yi'an smiled evilly.
Xuan'er was surprised on the side: "There's a big ship coming over there!" ”
Chen Lin and Ya Yi'an stopped talking, and at the same time looked in the direction of Xuan'er's finger, and sure enough, they saw a three-masted ship slowly heading towards the dock from the direction of due east. The ship is about twenty meters long and five meters wide, and it is rare to see such a large ship in the Wuji River.
Ya Yi'an was amazed: "It is rare for a large ship of this level to pass through the Wujian River, and eighty percent of them are smugglers."
Chen Lin knew: "It doesn't matter what he does, it seems that this big ship is going to stop at the dock to replenish, let's go over and see if we can take a downwind boat." ”
The three of them walked towards the dock, where the big ship docked, and more than a dozen of my able-bodied sailors came down from the ship and went into the small shop next to the dock clinic to buy supplies, and two sailors took advantage of this time to check the condition of the ship around the ship.
Ya Yi'an gently pounded Chen Lin with his elbow, but saw a chubby middle-aged businessman slowly walking down the gangway, he was about fifty years old, his bloated body was wrapped in a fur robe, and there was always a faint smile on his white and fat face.
Ma Xingkong obviously didn't recognize Chen Lin, who was there, and seeing that Chen Lin and the three of them were extraordinary, he smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to say to Chen Lin: "This brother, are you waiting for the ship?" ”
Ya Yi'an hurriedly took over, "Yes, we are about to go to Sand City, but we have no boat to pass by"
Ma Xingkong was so cunning, he suddenly understood what Ya Yi'an wanted to say below, and laughed heartily: "I just happened to be heading to Sand City, if the three of you don't dislike it, take my boat." ”
Ya Yi'an said pretendedly: "Then what's so embarrassing, it's better to be like this, you say a price, and when we get to the place, we will pay you the needle ship fare." ”
Ma Xingkong waved his hand and said: "All brothers in the four seas, it's too stingy to talk about money, I have a lot of cabins on this ship, and it's empty and empty, it's also a pleasure to be able to help you." ”
Ya Yi'an laughed with him, and then asked Ma Xingkong's name, came to Chen Lin's side beautifully, and said in a low voice: "This Boss Ma is really good, it seems that our luck is quite good."
Chen Lin laughed, didn't speak, and secretly thought in his heart: "Ma Xingkong was fighting with Maisie for some interests, but now he looks cool and generous on the surface, and he is like two people before and after, but he doesn't know what he has in mind." Quietly said to Ya Yi'an: "This horse is a human trafficker, we have to be careful when we get on his thief ship." ”
Ya Yi'an was slightly stunned, and then she understood that Chen Lin knew this wealthy businessman named Ma Xingkong. On the surface, he didn't show any abnormality, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what his purpose is, let's get on the boat first." ”
The three of them packed up and boarded the sailboat under the guidance of a sailor, who treated them very kindly, and provided them with three clean cabins. “
After the sailboat finished replenishing, it finally slowly sailed away from the ferry, although Chen Lin had already decided the direction of the next step, but the chaotic mood was still not completely calm in a short time, and he came to the bow of the boat alone to watch the scenery.
But Ma Xingkong was sitting on the bow of the boat, with a soft bear skin mattress on his knees, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun lazily, boiling tea on the coffee table on the side with a small copper stove, the river breeze was light, the fragrance was overflowing, and there was a female slave girl wearing a white fur coat next to him who was gently massaging Ma Xingkong, but he didn't expect this Ma Xingkong to enjoy life.
