Chapter 1001: [Hidden Mist?]
Chapter 1001: Hidden Mist?
A day later.
Yue Yang took the Phoenix Beauty, the Demon King and the Willow Leaf Three Daughters, passed by the East Gate Wharf and left by boat.
His departure made the old iron anchor, who was very suspicious, very surprised, obviously felt quite wrong, how could he leave? Could it be that this is really a businessman who came to Baihe City to do business? However, how can there be such a powerful businessman in the world?
"What kind of business are they?" Old Iron Anchor couldn't help but find the clever ghost who was in charge of inquiring about Yue Yang's news, and decided to ask clearly.
"Gemstone business. They owned countless gems, and in White River City, they found more than a dozen large chambers of commerce to sell exquisite gems of various colors at a price thirty percent higher than that of the outside world. Ah, in addition to selling colorful gems from their hometown, they also buy ores of various attributes, such as electric flower ore, dripyan ore and other rare ores. It can be seen that the pair of sisters are the masters, the little white face with a silver face, whether it is the captain of the guard, his strength is not high, but this kid has very poisonous eyes, and he is very interested in gems and ores. "That float is a guide arranged by several major chambers of commerce in White River City, although it has only been with him for a day, but he has already obtained a lot of information.
"Did you say where you're going next?" asked the old iron anchor, holding his chin full of stubble, pondering for a moment, and then asked.
"The itinerary of this group of people, there is almost no clear goal, it is completely the sisters who are spontaneous, I have not found their next target, but I heard the handmaiden mention it to the deacon of a chamber of commerce, they are from the Eight Desolations. "There are two long flagella on the top of the head, and the float of the tentacles is reported to the old iron anchor in detail.
"The Eight Desolate Regions, where there are more than a dozen remote mountainous areas, do produce colorful gemstones. "The gorilla-like rough man seems to have some knowledge of the Eight Desolations.
"But there don't seem to be any particularly famous strong women there!" the lobster-like protruding man was a little nerve-wracking.
"It may be a hidden family, that pair of sisters, at first glance, are a famous family, and their temperament is completely different from ordinary people!" another bald man with long octopus arms made his judgment.
"Is it possible that the Heavenly Punishment Empress who issued the Domain Emperor's solicitation order?" someone whispered, because this suspicion was too ridiculous, and in the end, he also felt embarrassed, and his voice became weaker and weaker. That Heavenly Punishment Empress is now in the Green Willow City in the Wind Stopping Swamp, waiting for the major lords in the Tianhua Domain to come and knock on her, and it is impossible for her to come all the way to White River City.
First, there is no purpose, why is she here?
The name of the Empress of Heavenly Punishment has never appeared in the Tianhua Domain, she must be from outside, how much do you know about the affairs of the Tianhua Domain?
It is estimated that she is a strong person secretly cultivated by the Central Temple, because the Divine Light Domain Emperor and the Angry Domain Emperor were killed in battle, and the Vengeful Domain Emperor was forced to leave, so she was sent here to take over the territory. A woman, no matter how powerful she is, without the support of a super powerful force behind her, can she take over a large Tianhua Domain?
If it weren't for the support behind the Central Temple, would she be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Domain Emperor?
If it weren't for the people of the Central Temple, how dare she be so arrogant and issue a domain emperor decree to summon the entire Tianhua Domain Lord before anyone was recognized?
Second, the Empress of Heavenly Punishment did not have time to come to White River City.
Although it is impossible for all the lords of the country to be convinced, there must be many lords of the country who go to see the excitement, whether it is really accepting the emperor of the new domain, there is a central temple behind her, and she will definitely stay in the Green Willow City in the wind-stopping swamp to preside over the overall situation. The most important point is that White River City is the last place that the people of the Central Temple want to attract attention, the secrets of White River City will always be hidden under the mysterious smoke and mist, if the Heavenly Punishment Empress is really sent by the Central Temple to take over the Tianhua Domain, she will never set foot here, and she will never even mention it, so that this place will become a complete ' The Forgotten Lands'.
"The result of speculation may not be right, but bold speculation is worth encouraging, and the truth of some things is often unexpected by people. If you think everything is impossible, then you are very wrong. The old iron anchor showed a wrinkled smile on his face, like a generous elder, he stretched out his hand, patted his subordinates on the shoulder, and encouraged the other party: "Although it is not right, but in the future, we must boldly speculate and use flexible brains to find the answer......
"Huh?"
While they were talking, suddenly the sharp-eyed lobster-eyed man screamed.
His slender arm pointed to the southeast and shouted urgently: "It's back, the bend head clipper that left just now has returned!"
The old iron anchor's face sank.
From the faint mist, on the distant sea, a crescent-shaped merchant ship quickly cracked out two white waves, hurrying towards White River City, as if some terrible monster was chasing them behind them.
After a while, in addition to the sister merchant ship that sold colorful gems, there were more than a dozen big-bellied square sail merchant ships that had left one after another, and they also used up the fastest speed they could reach, heading towards the side of White River City. Seeing this, the old iron anchor's original tightly knit brows were slightly relaxed, and he hurriedly led the team to meet him, and while flying in the air, he shouted loudly: "You are safe, please don't panic, welcome to White River City, you are already safe...... Ahead, what's going on? Is it a pirate ship, or is it a sea monster?"
The fat toad stood at the bow of the ship, but his face was very bad.
Reluctance to answer.
The narrow moon-shaped merchant ship sailed directly into the dock, and the old iron anchor saw it, including the pair of mysterious sisters who were estimated to be from famous families and still had a light veil covering their peerless faces, and they all disembarked. Except for the two sisters, all the guards were a little panicked, as if they had encountered some invincible monster.
This answer was revealed by the big slave owner 'Xi Dong', who fled back later.
Xi Dong's appearance is very peculiar, his limbs are surprisingly short, but he has a belly bigger than a pregnant woman in the middle. The face looks like a king's mighty, especially the two curved and upturned mustaches with hooked ends, which are even more distinctive. If you only look at the face, then you will feel that this person is a great person, but unfortunately the tragic height and dignified face that even ordinary people are not up to, and under its contrast, it looks so funny.
"Hidden Mist, damn it, there has never been a hidden fog on the outskirts of White River City, and now there is not even the last safe passage. ”
The great slave owner Xi Dong cursed loudly.
He had made an appointment with several large chambers of commerce in White River City to transport 10,000 slaves as quickly as possible.
Now, because of the sudden appearance of that terrible hidden fog that consumes everything, he must go back to White River City for an extra day or two. According to the lessons learned by previous people, it will take at least a day or two for the area where the hidden fog appears to be sure that there is no danger......
The old iron anchor was in the depths of his eyes.
There is a different color, and it disappears in a flash.
The lobster-eyed man, the octopus-armed bald man, and the gorilla had a strange smile on their faces when they heard the word Hidden Mist, as if they didn't believe it at all, but they didn't correct it, and let the big slave owner Xi Dong keep venting the unquenchable anger in his chest. At the end, the old iron anchor accompanied the smiling face like a slippery coolie: "Lord Xidong, are you sure that it is a hidden fog? You know, there has never been a hidden fog near our White River City, and this is a safe paradise. ”
"Do you think I'm lying? What's in it for me? I'd rather the Hidden Mist never appear again, do you know how much money I'll lose if I stay longer? Damn, I have to bring in 10,000 slaves as fast as I can, and every day I miss making five percent less, do you know how much that is? That's a lot of money that you won't make in your life! It's because there's a damn hidden fog that I have to stay in this damn place, you mud legs, and you think Uncle Ben is scaring you, hehehe, if you believe it or not, just try it...... Less than 20,000 meters away from here, I saw two ships sailing into a black hole, instantly engulfing the mist. On the ship, whether it is a sailor or an unlucky traveling merchant, there are no bones, no, it is not that there are no bones, but that the world has evaporated, and it is a matter of ashes, do you dare to say that it is not a hidden fog?"
"Lord Xidong, we will do our best to send people to find out the safety period and restore the channel, please don't worry. The old iron anchor was accompanied by a low posture with a smiling face.
"Even if you tell me that the hidden fog has returned to peace, I don't dare to leave, who doesn't know, the hidden fog is the most capricious thing. Although Uncle Ben's favorite thing is money, but just with a word from you mud legs, you want Uncle Ben to take risks, that's impossible!" Xi Dong scolded and left.
The old iron anchor began to ponder.
Silent for a long time.
The lobster-eyed man whispered, "It's definitely not the hidden fog, it should be the one that has taken effect......"
The octopus-armed bald man and the gorilla rough man beside them also nodded their heads in cooperation, and at this time, an irrepressible joy appeared on their faces, as if 'that took effect' was a great thing.
The old iron anchor glared: "Shut up, you should never mention it in front of people, this is the top secret." However, if it does take effect, in addition to protecting this secret, we must also report it in a timely manner to avoid causing unexpected losses and unnecessary leaks. Stay here and warn every one who sets sail to remember that the words of your hearts will be choked in your throat forever!"
The Floating Spirit, known as the Organic Spirit, whispered, "What should I do?" The sisters are back, and they should have noticed that I am in your group, and may be suspicious. ”
"This time, you can't go again, find your sister duckweed to guide them, and they will be a little less vigilant if they are also women. If they didn't come for that, it didn't matter, we just didn't provoke them, in the next day or two, find a few more groups of people to talk to them about business, anyway, they like electric spark mines, we will sell some of the electric spark mines we collected, so that their attention will not be diverted. In the end, Lao Tie Anchor did not forget to advise: "Their every move should be reported to me at any time, especially the strongest sister, she is definitely not a store that can be despised ." ”
"Where's the little white face?" said the floater, with its flagellated tentacles, asked carefully.
"If he is lustful, give him a beautiful woman! Whether it is beauty or money, as long as he is willing to accept a bribe, we will try to take something to his liking. After the old iron anchor finished speaking, the original shrewd him disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a decadence like drunken dreams and death, and he became a drunken coolie again.
While pouring wine into his mouth, he staggered towards the East City Gate.
Such a drunken step.
He's been there for hundreds of years...... RO
