Zhai Zhi's subordinates drove the carriage all the way to the south, and Ye Sheng saw the Xiangjiang City Gate through the car window, but he did not enter the city gate. Ye Sheng always believed that Zhai Zhi had not deceived him, and Zao Wou-Ki was really not in Xiangjiang? There is only one road between Futian and Xiangjiang.

Although the two cities of Lianshun in the north and south are the closest, they do not have deep contacts. Because, the people who have lived in Xiangjiang for a long time are not interested in the interior of the Central Plains. Therefore, there is also a lot of disparity between the cultural customs of Xiangjiang and the Central Plains, and it is a weak place for the imperial court to stretch its power.

Ye Sheng sat in the carriage, watching the coachman run all the way south along the Xiangjiang High City, and couldn't help but be curious, on the left is the deep city wall, and not far from the right is the beach and the sea.

"It's already time to apply." Zhai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the sunlight outside. Then he told the coachman, "Hurry up, so as not to make the brothers in the sect wait for a long time!" "Yes, helmsman!" Hurry up, the carriage rushed, Ye Sheng sat in the car and staggered all the way, after half burning incense, the carriage finally stopped, "Helmsman, we have arrived." ”

Ye Sheng jumped out of the carriage first, but saw that there was an endless sea in front of him. The Xiangjiang River is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and in front of you, there is the endless South China Sea, which is boundless and horizontal like a mirror. Ye Sheng caught a glimpse of the sand boat that was stopped on the shore. The boat seemed to be deliberately waiting for Ye Sheng and the others, and a few figures could be faintly seen on the board of the sand boat that could accommodate dozens of people. Ye Sheng can see clearly. Someone stood on the deck and watched the three of them, if there was a slight abnormality, I am afraid that they would be shot here immediately, right?

"You go back." Zhai Zhi said a word of advice to the coachman, and then led Ye Sheng to approach the sand boat. Stepping on the soft golden sand, Ye Sheng followed behind Zhai Zhi and jumped onto the sand boat unimpeded. There weren't many people coming and going on the deck, but Ye Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw a flashing knife shadow in the cabin. It seems that more people are buried inside the cabin. The sand boat can pull people to transport goods, and the number of people who can hide is naturally hundreds.

"Lord Zhai, look up for a long time!" A shirtless bald man smiled and clenched his fists, and said, "This time, I will send you to see the sect leader!" "Brother Sangun, long admiration!" Zhai Zhi smiled. Then he introduced to Ye Sheng, "This is Ye Sheng, the captain of the Red Banner who was mentioned by both Gu Protector and the sect leader, but now he is named Liu Bo." Liu Bo, this is a close confidant of the sect leader, who is responsible for transporting and pulling goods! ”

Ye Sheng saw that Luo Sanpao's body was strong and powerful, and his skin was dark and shiny, he knew that he was an expert who often walked by water, Ye Sheng smiled and said hello to Luo Sanpao, and he already had a bold idea in his heart, "Lord Zhai, the general rudder that the sect leader has set up now won't be on the sea, right?" ”

Lord Zhai laughed and gave a thumbs up, "That's right! Liu Bo brothers are witty! Luo Sanpao's eyes were like torches, staring at Ye Sheng, and then he said with a light smile, "I have heard for a long time that Ye Sheng sacrificed his life to save the Dharma Protector, and when I meet today, I am really a hero!" Luo Sanpao turned his head to look at the boundless sea and said, "When Phoenix Mountain was attacked, the sect leader knew that there were ghosts in the sect, so this migration took a lot of thought. As Brother Liu Bo thought, now the sect leader and all the adults in the sect are adrift on the ship, and the location is erratic, and it changes every seven days! If outsiders want to find the trace of the sect master, there is no way at all! ”

Ye Sheng was surprised, and then nodded in admiration, "The sect leader is really clever and resourceful!" In this way, Brother Sanpao can know every time the sect leader changes the ship, and it is also because the sect leader trusts him! "It's over!" Luo Sanpao smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "We still need half an hour to travel, so don't let the two of you go in to rest, I have prepared wine and meat, please take care of yourself!" ”

Luo Sanpao is not good at chatting, and Ye Sheng didn't bother much. There were a lot of brothers hidden in the cabin, and as far as the eye could see, the hundreds of seats were full. They were all unfamiliar faces, and Ye Sheng had no intention of making friends, so he slept with his eyes closed and leaned against the plank, and half an hour later, he was woken up by Zhai Zhi.

It's here! Ye Sheng walked out of the cabin with anticipation, and then saw three big ships floating on the blue sea not far away! That's right, it's a big ship that can accommodate several mansions of Niu Fugui! No. This is not a big ship, but a warship! Ye Sheng was shocked and froze in place, his body was sturdy, his deck was set up with guns, it was magnificent, it was really a warship!

It is worthy of Mingjiao, so courageous! Ye Sheng couldn't help frowning, he doubted for the first time, couldn't the Ming Sect really attack the capital and take the life of Emperor Wen of Tang? "Wasn't it unexpected?" Zhai Zhi looked at Ye Sheng's surprised appearance, and snickered in his heart, "When I first saw it, I also admired the sect leader's invincible courage!" This is a battleship purchased from the Wa Kingdom, one can accommodate a thousand soldiers! Our Mingjiao may not have the strength to attack the capital yet, but if it is a naval battle, it is not false at all! ”

Ye Sheng nodded. There is no doubt about Zhai Zhi's words. With these three warships, who can easily get close? The rope frame between the two ships was tethered, and Ye Sheng and Zhai Zhi walked from Luo Sancang's boat to the shelf of the opposite warship. This is the largest of the three warships, divided into three floors up and down, wide and grand!

Ye Sheng looked at the people who came and went to carry and unload the goods on the battleship, and at a cursory glance, there were hundreds of people. In other words, Zao Wou-Ki is under the protection of thousands of people every day and every night, and if the imperial court wants to kill him, I am afraid it will be as difficult as the sky! "I'll take you to the Sect Master!" Zhai Zhi smiled, went up the deck, and went all the way to the third cabin.

Dozens of people were guarding the left and right on the deck of the cabin at the highest point, and when they saw Zhai Zhi and the two approaching, they stepped forward to stop them, "This is the residence of the sect master, don't get close to the idlers." "I am Zhai Zhi, the helmsman of Futian. This person is Liu ......, who is asking to see the sect leader Ye Sheng. Zhai Zhi was stopped, although he was dissatisfied, he still smiled politely, "I think, the sect leader should have already told him, now, we can go in, right?" ”

The people who blocked glanced at each other, glanced at Ye Sheng, and said to Zhai Zhi, "We only received an order from the sect leader to meet Ye Sheng, Lord Zhai, please wait here." Zhai Zhi's face was hot, his expression was displeased, and he stopped talking, and finally hung his head honestly, "No problem!" Everything is arranged by the master! ”

Leaving Zhai Zhi behind, Ye Sheng was amused in his heart, and under the leadership of the two guards beside him, he got into the cabin. This seems to be the living room, with tables and chairs on the left and right sides of the hall, and when you look up, a golden dragon chair is resting on a high place. Ye Sheng pouted, this Zao Wou-Ki really remembered his identity.

The guards paged, Ye Sheng sat and waited, and after a while, Ye Sheng heard heavy footsteps coming quickly. Turning his head to look, Zao Wou-ki, who was wearing a purple shirt, rushed up with a gentle smile on his round belly. Ye Sheng hurriedly got up and saluted with his fists clenched, "I've seen the sect leader!" ”

"Good! All right! Zao Wou-Ki laughed, hugged Ye Sheng's shoulders and said, "I haven't seen you since I said goodbye to Phoenix Mountain!" Do you know that I am a great hero to you, but I don't want to eat! Zao Wou-ki's round and fat belly was pressed on his legs, and Ye Sheng didn't believe Zao Wou-ki's nonsense.

Ye Sheng smiled and didn't wait for two rounds of politeness, at this time, Zhao Wouji patted Ye Sheng's shoulder again, and said with a serious face, "Come, sit down and talk!" Zao Wou-Ki sat back on the dragon chair on his height, and Ye Sheng sat down on the chair in the corner below, before he replied, "I am already satisfied to see that the sect leader and the others are safe and sound!" On that day, I was also very worried about the safety of the sect leader and Gu Protector! ”

"Oh? Yes, you also saved Gu Protector's life! It's a pity that Gu Protector has something important to do and returned to the shore, otherwise, he would have died happily when he saw you! Zao Wou-Ki laughed, his chubby face full of a warm smile, "You saved everyone up and down my Ming Sect!" You're a great hero. Say it! What a reward! ”

Ye Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "No, no!" It is my duty to do my best for the master, how can I ask for any reward! "Hey, don't be so polite! Are you the one who doesn't repay my kindness? Zao Wou-Ki groaned, and then immediately patted the case and said, "From today onwards, you will be appointed as the helmsman of the Xiangjiang Branch!" ”

Xiangjiang helmsman? Isn't that all the life of being tied to Xiangjiang? Ye Sheng hurriedly shook his head, clenched his fists and said sincerely, "My subordinates really don't ask for an official position, and they don't need to be rewarded for gold and silver treasures!" The subordinates only ask for a clear conscience! "What a clear conscience!" Zao Wou-Ki was happy and cheered, "If I teach everyone to be like you, then there is hope for the restoration of the country!" Come on, the community wine banquet, I want to drink three hundred cups with Ye Sheng! "Yes. . . Master! ”

Looking at the appearance of the subordinate serving wine and food, Ye Sheng smiled, sat back on the chair and said, "Sect Master, the subordinate has now recovered his memory, and the subordinate is not called Ye Sheng, but Liu Bo." "Oh? Have you regained your memory? Zhao Wuji's expression was uncertain, and he stared at Ye Sheng.

The reason why he was given the position of captain Ye Sheng before was because he had a beautiful sister and a guy with a blank memory. Now that Ye Shengruo has regained his memory, how does Zao Wou-Ki know whether Ye Sheng is black or white, loyal or traitorous? The human heart is very complicated! Zao Wou-Ki's eyes wandered, and his mind was uncertain.

Ye Sheng guessed what Zhao Wouji was thinking, and if he didn't hurry up and come up with some results now, I was afraid that he would never see the sun the next day when he was in the Mingjiao camp, "The subordinates came with Zhai Zhi, the helmsman of the Futian branch, and this time, because he knew the magistrate of Futian County, he got acquainted with the helmsman Zhai Helm. "Zhai Zhi? I still remember him. Zao Wou-Ki came back to his senses. A pair of small, barely visible eyes on his chubby face showed a shiny, "Chuan Zhai Zhi came in to drink together!" Under the paging, Zhai Zhi stepped into the cabin and bowed to Zao Wou-ki, "Subordinate Zhai Zhi, meet the sect leader." ”

"Very good, listen to Ye ...... Listen to Liu Bo, you have finished the Futian County Magistrate? Zao Wou-Ki supported his cheek with one hand, and his fat body sat lazily on the dragon chair, quietly looking at Zhai Zhi, "Who is in charge of Futian now?" Are you sure you can take Fukuda? "The reason why my subordinates were able to win the magistrate of Futian County so quickly was because the Liu Bo brothers could cooperate with me inside and outside." Zhai Zhi had one thing to say, and immediately told Futian as it was.

Hearing that Ye Sheng was so brave and decisive and even made meritorious contributions, Zao Wou-Ki's little rustic rejection of Ye Sheng immediately disappeared, and his face full of flesh was full of smiles, Zao Wou-Ki stared at Zhai Zhi and asked, "So, the next county magistrate of Futian will be a puppet who obeys my orders?" "The sect leader has a good eye, and his subordinates guarantee that Futian is already under the control of the sect leader!"

"Good!" Zao Wou-Ki clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Taking Futian is already a big step for me to annex the world!" Come on, set up a banquet for Lord Zhai Duo, I want to get drunk with the two of you! ”
