Chapter 257: The Giant Whale Gang Bird Crossing Technique and the Hemp-faced Merchant
Maybe it was because the first two times of turning back had made people suspicious, Xiao Sha, who turned around and continued walking, walked four or five steps and didn't feel the feeling of being peeped at just now, and was following the man into the corridor on the third floor of the cabin and breathed a sigh of relief......
Well?
Suddenly, the previous feeling suddenly returned, and without saying a word, he quickly turned back at great speed, and the moment he turned back, he immediately followed his feeling to target a merchant in the crowd on the deck below the corridor.
This is a young man in his thirties who looks healthy, but is actually not burly or thin, dressed in a long silk coat embroidered with copper coins and a small square hat on his head, he looks like a shopkeeper, and the most unforgettable thing is his pockmarked face.
The black dots on that face, large and small, spread all over every corner of his face, just like the deliberately pointed out in a book that teaches people to read faces, whether it is the corners of his eyes, forehead, and even his chin, they all look oozing.
At this moment, this guy was looking up at this side, and the look in his eyes was surprised or vicious, and he didn't see it clearly, because the moment Xiao Sha turned around, this guy lowered his head to look at the deck on the ground.
After looking at the deck for a breath or two, he still seemed to feel that he was being stared at by Xiao Sha, and he turned his head to talk to a scholar next to him, looking very familiar with a smile on his face. But the scholar who was looking at the scenery of the Tianlan River and seemed to be expressing some feelings took two steps back slightly after seeing his face and hearing him speak again, and his face showed a little anger.
Xiao Sha was a little funny, although he didn't use his internal strength to improve his senses to eavesdrop, but just looking at the movement of the pock-faced merchant's mouth, it seemed that he was greeting someone else's ancestor...... That guy didn't talk to the scholar at all, just watched people swearing, probably because he was upset when he found out.
But this thing is a bit strange, this is the first time I have come to Jinyang, and there should be no enemies in this area. And his current appearance is still the appearance of a stone, and he hasn't changed during this time, how can he have an enemy? And even if it's an enemy, it doesn't seem that he has ever had a grudge with anyone when he was a general in the Su family?
Estimate...... I recognized the wrong person!
After recalling a little that he really didn't have any enemies when he was a stone in the Su family, Xiao Sha, who couldn't figure it out, didn't think about it for the time being, turned around and looked at his leader with a puzzled face, waved his hand forward, and motioned for him to continue to lead the way.
The man who led the way did not ignore it as before this time, but frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, but you met someone you don't want to see here?" ”
Xiao Sha was stunned for a moment, and the man smiled and continued: "Actually, this is normal, we are very popular in martial arts, and almost everyone who practices martial arts will have some enemies, like a guest officer who wears a sword, although he doesn't seem to be very old, and he is no exception." But ......"
"But we are a boat of the River Crossing Gang, usually just send people away regardless of grudges, the people of this big boat have to rely on this boat to send out, I hope you have something to solve when you go ashore, don't frighten our other guests."
The man said sincerely, Xiao Sha was stunned and didn't speak, he had been walking on the shore before, and he almost forgot that the territory in the water seemed to have sects and gangs, and the water gangs generally rely on water to feed.
Suddenly, he remembered what the Flower Picking Bee said before he died, among the culprits involved in the plot against Gale Sun, one of them had a high status, and he could even mobilize an army of 20,000 to exterminate the Giant Whale Gang.
Thinking of this, he grinned at the man: "I understand this, and I don't remember any enemies I have, I guess it's a misunderstanding!" ”
The man's face looked a little better when he heard this, and Xiao Sha asked again: "By the way, I will ask you about something."
"Guest officer, please say" Even if he is facing a young man who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, the man's attitude is average but quite polite.
"Some time ago, I heard from a friend that the Giant Whale Gang and the Imperial Court had started to do it, do you know this?"
"Which time are you talking about?"
The man was surprised: "It is well known that the Giant Whale Gang and the imperial court do not deal with each other, and the two sides often clash, and they have to fight every three or five months. However, the imperial court is seriously short of sailors near here, and it also has jurisdiction over the nearby Yokogawa Gang, the Lantern Festival, the Iron Spear Society's branch rudder, and our small gangs such as the River Crossing Gang, etc., although every fight is very lively, it does not take any advantage, especially when the Giant Whale Gang is still our big gang here. I don't know which time you said that? ”
How many times!
Xiao Sha felt a little troublesome to hold his forehead and exterminate the Giant Whale Gang...... The Flower Picking Bee is a misnomer, and an extermination almost makes him think that the Giant Whale Gang has been wiped out...... When did you say that?
"Uh...... It should be that in the last two or three months, my friend told me that it was more lively, and it seemed that the situation was really so lively at that time? ”
When he asked this, the man suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about the last water battle on Bibo Lake, this is the biggest battle in the past few months, sixteen warships of the Giant Whale Gang were sunk, and fourteen warships of the imperial court were destroyed." ”
"This time is really lively, it is said that the generals of the main battle of the imperial court this time are a little powerful, if it weren't for the Giant Whale Gang's gang leader Tori Du Shu is very good at training, he will destroy the sail mast of the other warship at a critical time, and it is estimated that this time he will be a big heel."
Toritotsu!!
Xiao Sha's eyes lit up, following the Four Seasons Sword Technique, the Blood Sword Sutra, and the Ning Clan's First Sword, he had a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country, in fact, he had this feeling every time he encountered a particularly familiar martial arts, because this feeling always gave him a sense of familiarity that this place was actually on the edge of the earth.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask who was the leader of the imperial court at that time, a slightly anxious footstep sound came into his ears along the deck below, and he looked down the aisle with his side eyes. Pecking a little, he noticed that the pock-faced merchant who had just looked at him was walking up the stairs to the side as naturally as he could.
In fact, he is still unnatural, his body looks leisurely and loose, but the strength under his feet is heavier than others.
Ordinary people may not be able to distinguish this voice, but Xiao Sha can, first, his internal strength can now be regarded as a good hand in the rivers and lakes, and he can hear it more clearly than others. During the two of them in the enlightened world's life-threatening escape for a month or two, Feng Ling, Dong Tianle and Jiang Bai, who had been taught by the high-level masters, had taught him various techniques to hide his mental purpose, and these techniques allowed him to dodge many attacks in such a situation of disparity in force.
In his opinion, this person has not hidden his identity many times, not to mention that the weight of his steps has not been adjusted well, and he has not even been able to hide the apprehension in his eyes when he pretends to look at the surrounding river.
Rookie!
A little superiority despised the other party, and Xiao Sha had no idea of asking the man for the time being.
He didn't ask, and the man who had to talk a little bit didn't bother to talk to a young man again, and the two of them walked a few steps to a locked cabin. The man took out a key and opened the door and handed the key to Xiao Sha, who paid a deposit of 500 yuan and put the key away, and then the man turned around and left.
In the simple handover, Xiao Sha didn't say any more superfluous words, and at the same time he was distracted from doing things.
After pretending to study the keys and locks at the door for a while, he finally determined the location of the cabin where he was going, based on the footsteps of the pock-faced merchant, which was actually directly above his top.
