With the sunset.

Jiang Cang and the others did not choose to return to the inn, but stayed on the edge of the island lord's mansion outside the town, waiting for the competition to start two days later.

Time is rushing.

Had some food in the border town, stayed for one night, slept in separate rooms, and nothing happened.

But at noon on the first day.

When Jiang Cang was chatting with them in the courtyard, he saw a guard of the lord of Toshima outside the courtyard, saying, "Egret Island mainly invites Captain Jiang", that is, he wants to invite himself over.

When Jiang Cang heard it, he asked him to wait first, and then looked at the gangsters in the courtyard, and they also looked thoughtful.

Because as the guard's words fell, in addition to the 'competitive tips' in everyone's minds, there was also a faint hint, as if it was related to a task, if there was none.

Could it be that the 'Friendship Mission' has been triggered? One more line?

Among them, Jiang Cang clearly perceived that this 'guidance' was related to himself, and it was also implicated in the 'inheritance of divine objects'. ’

"I always feel like I can't go to the Lord's Mansion." Yun Mu spoke at this time, although the mission had guidance, he always felt that this matter was a bit 'weird'. ’

Yesterday, the Lord of Egret Island didn't want to see them, but today he called Brother Jiang over, so isn't this a little wrong?

Whoever wants to come, a good calm 'invitation' appeared, very suddenly, unreasonable, especially let the dragon head go alone, this thing is too awkward.

The pioneer and the owner of the heron island, but they have no friendship.

"Mission?" Xiao closed his eyes and thought about it, then looked at the guards waiting outside the courtyard, and said, "It's not that I'm guessing, but... Nothing to do.. It can't be a trap, right? ”

"Brother Jiang Cang.." Lu Rou also looked at Jiang Cang worriedly, I saw the pitiful look, it really made people unbearable to leave here.

"I'm with the dragon." The shadow speaks succinctly, with no ideas or opinions, and is very crisp.

"I'll take a trip." Jiang Cang directly set the itinerary, looked at the few people who wanted to say something, and Lu Rou who showed a worried look, "You just wait here, I know it in my heart, don't worry." The Yuan Energy World is like this, the task comes suddenly, just get used to it. Also, if you are worried about my kung fu, you might as well practice more kung fu. ”

Jiang Cang said, glanced at the shadow one last time, and said, "You are watching here." I'm not at ease. ”

The shadow looked at Jiang Cang and didn't speak.

Jiang Cang smiled and waved his hand to everyone, and then went out of the courtyard, letting the guard waiting outside the courtyard lead the way.

Wait to walk on the road.

Crossed the trail outside town.

Jiang Cang looked at the island lord's mansion on the mountain a mile away in the distance, thought for a few breaths, felt a little quiet, and asked the guard who only led the way without saying a word: "Does this friend know what the Lord of Ludao called me for?" ”

"The villain doesn't know.." The guard bowed slightly and shook his head, "We'll know when Captain Jiang arrives." ”

"Lord Toshima is also there?" Jiang Cang didn't care, and asked again, "Or is the owner of Egret Island looking for me alone?" ”

"It was the Lord of Egret Island who asked the villain to pass on the letter to Captain Jiang.." The guards didn't hide this, and they knew something, so they said it all, "The owner of Egret Island also said that if Captain Jiang doesn't come, let the villain say that Captain Jiang doesn't want other treasure locations."

When the guard said this, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in his eyes, because in such a world, who doesn't want secrets about treasures?

It's a pity that he is just a pawn, he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and he can't get involved in the treasure trade of these masters.

I inquired a lot, but I was the only one who suffered.

And Jiang Cang heard what the guard said, thought about it, he didn't say it, and he didn't understand, this is okay, what is the matter, you can only wait until you know.

I walk on the trail mountain road.

It's not a long way.

Jiang Cang passed by the guards in front of the mountain, several courtyards located on the side of the mountain, and the servants who came and went also came to a large courtyard on the west side of the mountain.

This is the mansion where the lord of Egret Island temporarily lives during this month, and the lord of Toshima specially arranged it, which is no less than the 'main mansion'. ’

Wait until you walk into the house.

The guard pointed to the main entrance of the hall ahead and stepped back.

Jiang Cang looked forward in the courtyard, the hall was about 200 square meters, and it was similar to the ancient costumes and seats.

At the same time, the lord of Ludao was sitting alone on the main seat in the mansion, sipping tea, and smiled at Jiang Cang, who was looking at him: "Since Captain Jiang is here, come in and sit." There is a good Longjing tea here, which was given to the owner of Toshima by an adult in the Central Plains. I happened to be a guest here at the owner of Toshima, and I was fortunate enough to warm the pot of tea and taste it. ”

"Lord Egret Island is good Yaxing." Jiang Cang hugged his fists and saluted, walked into the hall, and saw the Lord of Ludao to sit down, and he was not polite, so he sat next to the Lord of Ludao.

The owner of the 'murmuring' heron island poured a cup of tea for Jiang Cang, and the white mist was like the fragrance of tea, and the fragrance seemed to dispel the water from the sea on the island.

"Good tea." Jiang Cang took it with both hands, took a sip, and there was a piece of spiritual energy, sure enough, the higher the level of the world, even food, clothing, housing and transportation have the blessing of aura, no wonder the strong and the rich are stronger.

Reiki is integrated into their daily lives.

"If Captain Jiang likes it, he can take some with him." The owner of Egret Island is a little polite and unusual today.

But Jiang Cang saw that the owner of Ludao was talking like an old friend, but he wanted to say, "We really don't have this friendship." ’

This is really as Xiao said, something is wrong.

Thereupon.

Jiang Cang didn't continue to play dumb riddles with the Lord of Ludao, so he didn't have to be bypassed, so he asked directly: "The Lord of Ludao specially came to me, what is the matter?" It's not just a cup of tea, is it? ”

"A little thing." Seeing that Jiang Cang was speaking so brightly, or that he felt that he could calm the scene, the Lord of Ludao did not hide anything, and directly took out a pair of parchment from his arms, and continued,

"Let you help me kill someone. The reward is this, a volume of treasure maps, I wonder if Captain Jiang is interested in this? ”

"Treasure map?" Jiang Cang glanced at it, and didn't pick it up as soon as possible, so he couldn't seem too urgent.

But with the Lord of Egret Island, he understood that this treasure map was probably the thing in the guide.

Captain Jiang was silent. Seeing that Jiang Cang didn't answer, the owner of Ludao praised it, pushed the tea away, and put the parchment on the table.

"This man's name is Luo Huai, and he once robbed my fleet. Maybe he didn't know it himself, or pretended not to. ”

The lord of Egret Island looked at the scenery outside the mansion, "Originally, he was just a little ant to me, and I didn't plan to delve into it. But he was also on the invitation list of Lord Toshima this time, and I didn't expect him to hear that I was here, and he really dared to come! But as the organizer, I really can't do it for personal vendetta in this matter. Maybe he just understood this, so he thought about coming over to fish in troubled waters. So, I want Captain Jiang to help me on my way out to sea tomorrow, or on the way to treasure hunting."

When the lord of the heron island said this, he shook his open palm, and the meaning was self-evident.

Kill him.

Let Luo Huai know that he wants to fix him, and he doesn't need to do it himself.

The majesty of an island owner is not something that a 'mere congenital captain' can be thinned.

This is like saying it to many people, and it seems to be holding someone.

"Why are you looking for me?" Jiang Cang asked, not caring about the master's meaning.

On the contrary, what I said was a normal inquiry, it can't be that the two of them haven't said a few words, the treasure can't be accepted, and everything is nodded and agreed, that's weird.

"I heard you killed the black fox." The owner of Egret Island suddenly changed the topic, and showed a curious look again, "Someone on the island said that it was your Pioneer and the Black Ying who had a grudge?" ”

"It's a feud." Jiang Cang was blunt, took a sip of tea, and left his mouth fragrant, "I killed his subordinate Qi San, afraid that the black fox would seek revenge." It's better not to do one and keep fighting, and start first. The small boats on my side are slender and can't match their big ships and heavy guns at sea. ”

"I understand this... Understand Captain Jiang's concerns.." Lord Heron Island smiled and asked again, "Captain Qian, they have been following you?" And formed a fleet with you? ”

"Lord Heron knows everything." Jiang Cang put down the teacup, and his expression did not change.

"Captain Jiang, don't get me wrong." The owner of Ludao added another cup to Jiang Cang, "I hung out with the lord of Toshima yesterday, met them on the beach, and asked, and they said that they went to a treasure island with Captain Jiang. They didn't do anything, but you gave them a lot of wealth. ”

"That's right." Jiang Cang didn't hide it, "I think they are all fellow travelers, and they are powerful and powerful, how can they not be separated from others?" We can't be seen as stingy on the Pioneer. ”

"Good!" The Lord of Egret Island praised and smiled even more, "It is because of Captain Jiang's righteous character that he will take revenge and share blessings with all that I have decided to entrust this matter to you!" Presumably, Captain Jiang's personality should help me with this, right? We are all for money, for profit, I offer a price that is not low, a treasure map, what many warriors who like to explore, dream of.."

"Definitely. Fortunately, he was not dishonored. Jiang Cang smiled and clenched his fists and took the thing.

Having said that, when people praise themselves so much, they naturally can't lose the face of the pioneers.

In other words, in fact, no matter what the owner of Egret Island says, this treasure map that may have a 'meta-object' or even a divine object related to himself is certainly worth the price.

Luo Huai's head, a human life.

"You took the stuff." Seeing Jiang Cang taking the things, the Lord of Ludao stood up, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "This matter is good." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Egret Island." Jiang Cang also got up and clenched his fists, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others." Jiang Cang waited for the Egret Island Lord to deliver a message, and he would do it. ”

"Captain Jiang has been an assassin?" The owner of Egret Island suddenly asked, "Or did you take over such a 'roster'?" ”

'Roster..' When Jiang Cang heard this, he thought about it left and right, and estimated that the owner of Ludao was talking about the 'assassination bounty list', but he didn't deny it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Each island has a roster." Seeing Jiang Cang, the owner of Ludao did not deny it, and he looked like he took it for granted, "With Captain Jiang's skills, it would not be surprising if he took these things." ”

"Perhaps.." Jiang Cang finished tasting the second cup of tea, put away the treasure map, and looked at the Lord of Egret Island again, is there anything else to do?

I really don't have anything to talk about with him to be honest, I believe that the owner of Egret Island also knows that when the two talk about it, they basically only have interests, but they don't seem to have any common language, and they spoke awkwardly before.

It's a bit of a can't talk about it.

"If Captain Jiang has something, let's go first." The smile of the owner of Ludao remained the same, and he didn't have anything to say to Jiang Cang, didn't he just pay for himself, Captain Jiang contributed, and the employment relationship.

But Jiang Cang's strength is good.

The owner of Ludao thought for a while, took out a small bag of tea from the small red sandalwood cabinet next to the table, handed it to Jiang Cangdao, and said: "Originally, I wanted to keep Captain Jiang for dinner, but if Captain Jiang meant something, then I would send a bag of tea to replace the wine." You are the captain now, busy, I am alone now, but it's okay, so I won't delay Captain Jiang. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Jiang Cang clenched his fists again and left.

From beginning to end, the owner of Egret Island didn't care about whether Jiang Cang would do anything after taking his things.

Because if he doesn't do anything, he has collected a lot of treasure maps, and he can take another map and reward Jiang Cang.

He has the wealth of an island and really doesn't care about that.

Perhaps for him, the only people who can talk and interact with the whole sea are the island owners of the same realm and wealth.

And as time passes.

Jiang Cang returned to the place where he lived temporarily, and told the worried owl about what had happened, which was nothing more than receiving a 'task', which was also a team task.

By the way, this bag of tea leaves let Lu Rou take it to boil, everyone has a share, the owner of Ludao invited, don't drink it for nothing.

The afternoon went by like this.

Everyone chatted and drank tea, and it was still the same leisurely.

Until the next morning.

The lord of Toshima sent a message to the lord, not to assemble at the lord's house, but to let all the captains sail their ships to the western sea, where they would assemble and set off together at noon.

This temporary change in the charter, Jiang Cang is not in charge of the captain how to complain.

Anyway, he and the others sent a message to Captain Qian to go to the West Sea, and the Pioneer also arrived later.

Wait to come here.

The sun is approaching noon.

Jiang Cang stood at the bow of the boat, looking around, there were one hundred and thirty-seven ships with him, and the Lord of Heron Island was in front of them, asking the crew to adjust the sails and prepare to set off.

After a while, they were late, and they were in the middle of the line, and there were ships arriving around them.

Besides.

Jiang Cang also saw that there was a primordial energy person whose realm was in the day after tomorrow, on a medium-sized ship, it was estimated that they had completed the invitation task and caught up.

But if these people are removed.

There is no one left in this mighty fleet.

Including the 'small team of three' that he had seen before, as well as the individual 'innate primitive powers' who were wandering around the island, they didn't come, or they refused the invitation of Lord Toshima and were ready to follow?

Jiang Cang thought about it, and while letting Wu Hong take charge of the sails, keeping up with the owner of the Egret Island and the ships that were already moving, he looked towards the rear of the fleet, and saw that two miles away, there was really a big ship following, under the banner of a merchant ship, and the first mate in it, I didn't know that it was the captain, but it was a Yuan Ability.

There are not a few people who believe in him.

Afraid of the danger of the 'main progress', just follow on the side, fishing in troubled waters?

That's a way to do it, and it's probably safe.

And when Jiang Cang and the others' fleet followed the Lord of Egret Island and them, and then headed towards the West Sea.

On the west side of Teshima.

Three people came out of the forest and carried a small boat about two meters long that had just been built and carried into the sea.

"Keep up, keep up! They probably went far away.."

The middle-aged swordsman stood at the bow of the boat with a telescope in his hand, and beckoned to the third child next to him behind him, asking them to row faster.

They don't look at the wind or the rain when the boat is running fast or slow, they just pick up the pole and walk with it, and they can always chase it.
