Lin Changsheng guessed early on that Nan Jiancheng could not be as simple as he said, so he simply came to exchange hostages, and retreated to the side with Xiao Shizi in his arms.

Nan Jiancheng wanted to quickly dispose of Xia Zhongmo, but he and Mu Jiu hoped to keep Xia Zhongmo to find the correct route to Snake Island, anyway, at the moment, Xia Zhongmo only had one Star Luo faction left to rely on, and he was not in a hurry to kill him.

Nan Jiancheng wanted to keep the Star Luo Sect and use various conditions for his own use, but he and Mu Jiu had the same idea, the people of the Star Luo Sect must not stay, otherwise they would make a comeback sooner or later, and they would have to find an opportunity to dispose of the Star Luo Sect before Nan Jiancheng did.

The people on both sides fell into a scuffle, Xia Zhongmo had been operating in Nanluo Country for many years, and he took the old lady to retreat, and when he passed a hidden place, he asked Jiaojiao to give them a quick disguise, turned into a different look, and ran away from another path.

Because of the hurry, there are a lot of flaws in the disguise, but it is enough to face the average soldier.

Nan Jiancheng's people returned empty-handed, so they had to take Xiao Shizi back unwillingly.

No one knew that outside the battlefield, Mi and Mu Xuduan, as well as Yu Gui, Ming Yi, and Ming Er, had already quietly followed Xia Zhongmo's people.

Returning to the capital, Nancheng put the son of the original Nanluo Emperor on the throne on the grounds that the country could not be without a king for a day.

The child was too young, and he was in charge of the country.

The idea was born by Lin Chang, the child was just a transition, and when the voice was at its highest, Nan Jiancheng would threaten the child to give him the throne.

In this way, the loss of people's hearts and minds can be minimized.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first edict of the Son of Heaven was that the people of the Xingluo faction colluded with the Great Xia State to make Xia Zhongmo, killed the first emperor, and committed an unforgivable crime.

Lin Changsheng was very satisfied with Nan Jiancheng's attitude and resolute style.

However, the rest of the capital is Nanjian's business, he resigned from Nancheng on the grounds that the situation in the capital was stable, took Mu Jiu to the south, looked for the marks left by Xiaomi, Mu Xuduan and others, and tracked Xia Zhongmo.

The new dynasty (government) hall (power) has just been established, and Nan Jiancheng couldn't be distracted to take care of Lin Changsheng, so he sent a few masters to follow, saying that he was helping Lin Changsheng, and then he stopped caring about it.

Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu knew that Nan Jiancheng was still not worried about them, so they left a hand before sending these people to monitor them.

But everyone knows that no one fully trusts the other, but they just come together because of common interests.

With Nan Jiancheng's people, Lin Changsheng hurried for five days in a row, and only rested for three hours a day.

Mu Jiu was a little overwhelmed, so Lin Changsheng had to stop and rest temporarily.

In the evening, they entered a small town and stayed at a fairly clean inn.

Mu Jiu lay on the bed with half-squinted eyes, not saying a word—too tired to speak.

Lin Changsheng was extremely distressed, and pinched Mu Jiu's sore calves with moderate strength, "Tomorrow we will have a day off." ”

"Don't." Mu Jiu immediately opened his eyes, "I have a strong intuition, grandpa is on Snake Island." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Lin Changsheng could only do his best to help Mu Jiu knead her sore muscles and let her recover her strength as much as possible.

At the same time, next door to the room, in the room of the person who was built in the south, someone wrote a letter, tied to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and released it through the window.

What they didn't know was that not long after the carrier pigeon disappeared into the night sky, a goshawk with wings spread out for more than one meter suddenly appeared above the carrier pigeon, grabbed the carrier pigeon with sharp claws, and brought it back to Mu Jiu's room.

This goshawk is the sun of human nature.

Lin Changsheng untied the letter on the pigeon's leg, took it out and looked at it, there were only four words: everything is normal, and quietly tied the letter back to the pigeon's leg and let it fly.

After six days of driving, Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu finally arrived at a small town near the sea and saw Mu Xuduan and Xiaomi, who were staying there.

They bought a small courtyard to live in, and when they saw Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu, their expressions were solemn, "Master, the clue was broken when I chased here, and I still couldn't find the correct route to Snake Island." ”

"People go to sea here every day, and no one has heard of it?"

"I inquired and heard that when I went to Snake Island, those boatmen's faces changed drastically, saying that Snake Island was unlucky, she didn't know the route, and it was impossible to go if she knew."

Lin Changsheng fell into deep thought, and early the next morning, he took Mu Jiu to the dock a mile away from the town.

The waves crashed over the beach, making a roaring sound, and many fishermen dragged wooden boats onto the beach and turned them over to repair their boats, while others were mending broken fishing nets.

Probably there are a lot of strangers who usually buy and sell sea fish here, and when they saw Mu Jiu, Lin Changsheng and others, the fishermen just glanced at them, and then concentrated on their business, and no longer paid attention.

Lin Changsheng took Mu Jiu's hand, "Let's go buy fish." ”

Anyway, I couldn't find the route for a while, and it was useless to be anxious, Mu Jiu nodded, "Okay, I haven't eaten sea fish for a long time." ”

In the Great Xia Kingdom, the capital is a little far from the sea, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport sea fish, and they can only eat fresh sea fish rewarded by Emperor Xia during the Chinese New Year, and they can only eat dried fish at most.

Mu Jiu became interested, "I want to eat shrimp." ”

"Okay."

There is a small place on the wharf that is specially opened up to sell fish, and several fishermen take the things they have caught to sell there, and when they see Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu, they greet them warmly, "Master, madam, buy my fish, you see that they are all alive, and I only called them back this morning." ”

Mu Jiu looked into the wooden barrel containing the fish, and sure enough, he saw a few small fish swimming around in the bucket.

But she didn't know those fish, "Changsheng, what kind of fish are these?" ”

"Grouper." Lin Changsheng asked the price and bought it with the big wooden barrel.

I bought some other things, went to the town's produce market, bought condiments and pots, and came back and started cooking.

……

In a small wooden house not far from the dock of the town, an old fisherman squatted and talked in a low voice with another young fisherman beside him, "You go back and tell Elder Mo that they are here, but they are very strange, they are not in a hurry to find out the news of Snake Island, but they have stayed in the town, and they have bought a lot of sea fish today, it doesn't look like they are here to look for you, but more like they are here for vacation." ”

The young fisherman said, "Elder Mo said, find a way to reveal the route to them, let them go out to sea, it will be easier to kill them on the sea." ”

Old fisherman, "I feel a little difficult, the town is only so big, everyone knows it, why does anyone suddenly know the route to Snake Island?" ”

"Think about your grandson, do you want him to marry a daughter-in-law or do you want him to die without a place to bury?"

The old fisherman's face turned pale, "I know, I will find a way, I hope that Elder Mo will be the talker, and when this matter is over, he will release my grandson." ”

"Don't worry, Elder Mo has always been a man of his word, and our people from the Star Luo Sect have always been very kind!"

Benevolent? The elderly fishermen used to think like this, and every year the Star Luo Sect would send someone to help them fishermen, but since he was taken by the people of the Star Luo Sect and asked him to make eyeliner for them, he didn't obey, and his grandson was taken away to threaten him, he didn't think so.

The Star Luo Sect is a huge demon cave filled with demons!

……

Lin Changsheng, Mu Jiu and the others lived in the town for a few days, and it looked like they were here to play, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and basking on the beach, but in fact, Lin Changsheng had been secretly observing, and there were those people secretly observing them.

Everyone is acting in secret, and it depends on who has the greatest ability to find out the other party first.

Lin Changsheng quickly noticed that there was an old fisherman with a face full of vicissitudes who had been secretly noticing them, and he felt that he was doing it very secretively, in fact, he had been seen by Lin Changsheng many times.

In addition to the old fishermen, Lin Changsheng also noticed that in a small wooden house not far from the old fishermen, there was always a pair of eyes staring at them in the house.

Those eyes were a bit like a woman's eyes, not hostile, but not friendly.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Lin Changsheng changed into night clothes, set off quietly, came to the old fisherman's wooden house, and put a dagger against the back of his neck, "Don't move, I'll ask you a question and you will answer." ”

"The hero spares his life, he has something to say."

"Do you know the route to Snake Island?"

The old fisherman nodded, "Yes, but it's not easy to go." ”

Lin Changsheng said in his heart that if it was easy to go, few people would know about it.

"Tell me."

"There are no markings on the sea, I don't know how to tell you, you want to go, I'll take you."

Lin Changsheng narrowed his eyes, it was clearly a trap!

"How do you fishermen discern direction and bearing? Tell me it. ”

"The direction and feel of the current."

Lin Changsheng: "......"

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, they really discern the direction in this way, so the old fishermen who go to sea more often have more experience and know the route better.

"What is your relationship with the Star Luo Sect?" Lin Changsheng asked again.

"What is the Star Luo Sect?"

Lin Changsheng didn't debunk the old fisherman's lies, but he talked about other things, "The best thing the Star Luo Sect does is to catch one person and use it to threaten another, but the person who was threatened doesn't know, maybe the person who was captured is no longer alive." ”

In the darkness, the old fisherman's face changed, and he fought fiercely in his heart, and suddenly he didn't want Lin Changsheng to die, but his grandson was in the hands of the Star Luo Sect, but Lin Changsheng said that the people of the Star Luo Sect had probably killed his grandson, and he ...... Don't believe it.

It's not that the old fisherman hasn't done something similar for the Star Luo Sect before, but I don't know why, this time, he began to relent.

Lin Changsheng noticed the change in the old fisherman's breathing, and continued, "Everyone came here as a last resort, my grandfather was caught here, and I only came as a last resort, hoping to rescue my grandfather." ”

The old fisherman's breath became short, he sighed, and said softly, "Young man, how wonderful the outside world is! ”

"No matter how beautiful it is, it always feels like something is missing when you lose your loved ones, there is always a shadow in the family, it's better to give it a go, maybe you can save your relatives."

The old fisherman had never left the town in his life, and he didn't know the outside world, let alone that Snake Island was the headquarters of the Star Luo Sect, so he only felt a pity, "You don't know how vicious they are, and when you see their viciousness, you won't think so." ”
