Chapter 107: The Ark
After calming down, Qin Shi had already sorted out his thoughts. Zhou Yong was originally sent by Boss Hu to test the old gun. It was only when Qin Shi appeared in time that Zhou Yong found that there was a better entry point, so he let his men touch the porcelain.
Immediately, the old cannon's reaction had already made Boss Hu figure it out, or he thought that he had figured out the details of the old cannon, so he wanted to stop this conflict.
"What does this guy want to do?"
Qin Shi's gaze fell behind Boss Hu.
The biggest possibility is that Boss Hu also knew about Tuoba Yu's bounty order, and based on their strange combination, he made associations and confirmed that Xiao Hei was the hyena of Tuoba Yu's bounty.
This is the greatest possible. Although Qin Shi applied ink to Xiao Hei, in the eyes of careful people, this disguise was nothing at all.
The two of them were a wolf, and Boss Hu collected 2,500 gold coins, but as soon as he turned around and sold them to Tuoba Yu, he could still get an extra 10,000 gold coins for nothing, which was a huge profit without capital, and anyone would be tempted.
If Boss Hu didn't know anything about the bounty order, then his motive was probably to kill him for money.
Lao Pao easily paid such a huge amount of money, and he didn't look like a character with a background in the galaxy world, which would inevitably make Boss Hu think a little.
Those who are willing to pay a high price to leave Gulu have either committed a major incident in Gulu, and are most likely to offend the city lord's mansion of Twilight City, or the garrison of Yin Tang; If it's neither, it's a precious treasure in a secret ruin in the ancient continent and wants to leave quietly.
And what Boss Hu thinks may only be the latter. If there's something going on in Twilight, he can't be ignorant.
Boss Hu suddenly glanced back at Qin Shi. And the moment he turned his head, Qin Shi also skillfully shifted his gaze and landed on the sea in the distance.
"Little brother hasn't seen the Dark Sea before?"
Boss Hu asked with a smile.
Qin Shi grinned and showed a pure smile to Boss Hu, but he didn't speak. Boss Hu clearly wanted to dig something out of his mouth. He didn't know what Lao Pao and Boss Hu had talked about before, and talking more meant that he would leak more horses.
"Can you board now?"
The old cannon looked high-spirited, pointed to an ark not far away, and interrupted Boss Hu's question.
To Qin Shi, the ark was a behemoth. The length of the ark is 1,200 meters. The hull is one hundred and fifty meters wide at its widest point and can accommodate from three to fifty thousand tons of cargo. And the ark in front of him is medium-to-high in scale. The speed is only about one-third of that of an average galaxy warship.
And above the ark, there is also the winged boat. With a carrying capacity of one million tons, the wingboat has a speed that directly catches up with the capital ship of the Galaxy battleship, which is very convenient for both cargo and supply ships for battleship formations.
It was the first time Qin Shi had seen the real ark, and the visual impact was really not small. But he had seen such a miracle as the City of Prey, and although the ark was shocking, it calmed down after the initial amazement.
"Naturally." Boss Hu's smile remained unchanged: "It's just that the ark came down from the southern continent, and the burning stones and supplies were replaced here." It carries a lot of wood, and the smell is not good, so it needs to be poured with seawater, and Mr. Qin and the little brother can go up a little later. ”
Wood is a specialty of the Southern Continent, a giant floating land above the ancient Egyptian continent.
The southern continent is blessed with abundant rain and sunshine, and almost the entire land is covered with forests.
But it is also strange that in the southern continent, except for wood and herbs, there is not a single ore to be found, and even animals are scarce, let alone precious.
When the Terrans rose from the ancient continent, the southern continent was the only land that had not been warned, and neither the human race nor the alien race could find anything of value from this land, so the southern continent was more sparsely populated than the ancient Egyptian continent with a harsh bottom.
It wasn't until after the development of Force technology that explorers and naturalists were funded by Yin Tang to enter the Southern Continent and embark on large-scale expeditions and discover many valuable timbers and medicines, that the development of the Southern Continent really began.
Wood is one of the specialties of Nanriku. The tree has a foul smell that only gets rid of it after being soaked in seawater. However, it can be refined from the wood, which is an excellent tonic for cultivating the Force. A drop of gum is worth at least thirty gold coins.
Hearing the word wood, Qin Shi and Lao Pao were both surprised, and when they looked at Boss Hu, their expressions were a little strange.
"The two of you laughed......"
Boss Hu naturally knew the reason for the strange eyes of the two, and explained: "Everyone raised and gave me such a nickname, in fact, he was just a small steward on the boat above the contemptible people, but he had a little friendship with Major Nalan, and he could do some small business in this dark sea." See smile, see smile......"
Boss Hu explained a few more words. Major Nalan is actually the city lord of Twilight City, Nalan Youfang, but he has a legal identity given by Yin Fang. Nalan Youfang also preferred this title, and those who knew him well were used to calling him a major instead of a city lord.
Lao Pao and Qin Shi looked stunned.
The old cannon couldn't tolerate Boss Hu to change the topic, and in a few words, he mentioned boarding again. The smell of alder wood is strange, but staying at the Dark Sea Pier can be life-threatening. Boss Hu is procrastinating like this, there is nothing strange in it, he really doesn't believe it.
"Well said, well said!"
Boss Hu said with a smile, then turned around and ordered the guards around him, and said: "Take the distinguished guest to the boat, and after you get to the cabin, you will deliver the remaining tail gold ......" Speaking of this, Boss Hu turned his head to the old cannon and said: "Mr. Qin, is this satisfactory?" ”
"Of course!" The old cannon laughed. Boss Hu's escort drove a small boat and motioned for the two to get on the boat. The Ark has a very deep draft, and there is no way to walk directly from the docks.
Looking at the dinghy in the distance, the smile on Boss Hu's face gradually disappeared.
"Boss, the Tuoba City Lord is here......"
Zhou Yong walked lightly to Boss Hu's side and said softly. He was a little confused: "Boss, why did you let them get on the boat...... Isn't there a ...... on it."
"Smack!"
Boss Hu slapped Zhou Yong in the face with his backhand, instantly slapping off several of his teeth.
"Rubbish! I'm still using you to teach me how to do it?! ”
Boss Hu's face was gloomy.
"The little ones don't dare!"
Zhou Yong, who had a third-level force, didn't dare to speak out loudly, covering his cheeks and snorting.
How could Boss Hu not want to intercept the next two? Not to mention that the old cannon spent a lot of money, the weapons in his hands were also superb, especially the metal arm, if it could be removed, it would not be a problem to sell it for 180,000 gold coins.
However, he also knew that the old cannon himself probably had the strength of the fourteenth or fifteenth level, not to mention that there was an extremely powerful hyena beside him, even Qin Shi, his eyes were like torches, and there was a faint aura of vicissitudes and sacredness on his body, and when his eyes fell on his back, he had a palpitation for no reason, and he couldn't figure it out that he was a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.
In the galaxy world, there are many terrifying powers that are so powerful that they can shatter a planet with a single punch. These powers often have the secret method of rejuvenation, and if this kid is also such a power, he is killing himself.
"Bring the Lord of Tuoba City to me." A smile began to appear on Boss Hu's face again.
He needed someone to go to the mines.
