Liu Zhaohui told the reason why the three of them were scolded by the master. It turned out that after Liu Zhaohui and Zhuang Zhaoxue broke up with Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan from Wuhu, it only took thirteen or fourteen days to rush back to Rizhao.

According to Zhuang Zhaoxue's meaning, they must wait until the two of them go back together, but Liu Zhaohui said that they may have missed this way, and they may have already gone ahead. Zhuang Guixue thinks about it, it is possible, there is no better way to rush back, and he will arrive home on June 11.

Liu Yaotian, the leader of the Sun Sect, was very angry when he didn't see Liu Hanyan, and the next day he confessed a matter, ordering Liu Zhaohui and Zhuang Zhaoxue to return to Haizhou to do something, and at the same time to welcome Liu Hanyan, and sent Zhao Xi to join them, "If you can't catch the smoke, don't come back for the three of you." ”

The three of them were so anxious that they did not dare to delay on the road, and rushed to Haizhou on June 13. During the day, they took turns waiting on the way to Rizhao, and at night they rested at the Peach Blossom Smile Restaurant, and they didn't wait for Liu Hanyan these days.

The main altar of the Peach Blossom Sect is on the platform mountain in the sea in Haizhou, and the Peach Blossom Laughing Restaurant is mainly controlled by the deputy sect leader Qin Shizhen. Last time, when Liu Zhaohui and the four of them were assigned to Nanjing to do business, they had contacted Lin Meiying, and the two sides were not strangers, but when the deputy sect leader of Qin went to Huai'an, he didn't know Liu Hanyan and caused a misunderstanding.

Tonight, Lin Meiying was discussing with the three of them how to complete the things entrusted by Liu Yaotian, but she didn't expect to wait for Liu Hanyan for three days on the road, but she unexpectedly met her in the restaurant.

Liu Hanyan asked, "Senior Sister Zhuang, why is my father angry with me?" Zhao Xi said at this time: "Master is worried about you." ”

Liu Hanyan was dissatisfied: "My father is really, I'm not a child anymore, and I still manage it so tightly." Zhuang Zhaoxue saw that the two of them were not speculative, so she hurriedly diverted the topic: "Right now, only by completing the task assigned by the master and getting the rose salt, maybe the master can be less angry." ”

Wang Houqi said: "What is rose salt? Zhuang Zhaoxue sighed: "That's a strange thing...... Tens of millions of years ago, the Himalayas were a vast ocean, and then the sea became a high mountain, the original sea water was dried by the sun, and after countless years of squeezing and underground high temperature, it formed red, pink, white salt of different colors, which is rose salt.

"Because the rose salt is buried at the bottom of the mountain, no one knows how much of it has survived. As a big gang in the world, the Salt Gang specializes in smuggling salt, so they naturally know where to get it, so although rose salt is hard to find, the Huai'an Salt Gang has a lot of it, but they often sell it at a price dozens of times higher than gold. These gangs on the seashore will be plagued by the poison of the sea fog, and they have no choice but to buy it at a cost, and the Peach Blossom Sect needs this rose salt more than other gangs. ”

Liu Hanyan asked, "Senior Sister Xue, why does the Peach Blossom Sect need this rose salt more?" Zhuang Zhaoxue continued: "Back then, the Peach Blossom Sect was built on Yuntai Mountain in the sea, and there was sea fog on the mountain, and if it was stained, it would be difficult to breathe, and even stagnate and die. What's more powerful is the tens of thousands of peach trees that grow in the valley, the peach blossoms pile up after falling, transpire into miasma, although the peach blossom miasma is colorful, but ordinary people touch it and die, lest they avoid it. After years of exploration, the Peach Blossom Sect has found a way to dissolve the poison of sea fog and peach blossom miasma, which is to dissolve the rose salt in water and heat it, and its heat can detoxify. ”

Wang Hou asked, "So that's the case...... You have come for the rose salt? Liu Zhaohui nodded yes and said the reason. It turned out that Zheng He had gone to the Western Ocean five times before, and Liu Yaotian was not a helper at that time, but this time, he wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Western Ocean with the fleet, if he could find a captain's position, it would also make the prestige of the Sun Sect spread far and wide. However, although the previous fleets consisted of more than 200 large ships, each with a thousand people on board, and the scale was huge, all the captains were officers.

Through the operation of the Sun Sect, the imperial court also considered that it was necessary to arrange a person who knew how to sail and had leadership skills to serve as the captain of the ship to prevent sudden risks at sea, after all, it had encountered many risks in the first five times. At the same time, Rizhao is known as "the sunrise on the sea, the dawn shines first", everyone is good at sea navigation, so it was agreed to hold a sailing competition in Rizhao and select one person to be the captain. The contest is scheduled for around July 20, and one of the contents is to challenge the poison of sea fog.

Sect Leader Liu and Sect Master Lin have been friends for many years, so they ask her for help, hoping to get rose salt to deal with the poison of sea fog. But the Peach Blossom Sect was originally purchased from the Huai'an Salt Gang, so Lin Meiying received Liu Zhaohui's request for help, and immediately sent her powerful henchmen to Huai'an, hoping to buy rose salt. It was at the dinner table just now, but it was decided to wait another six days, and the people sent would rush back from Huai'an.

Wang Hou asked: "It turns out that Miss Zhuang attached so much importance to the Night Pearl in the first place, is this the reason?" But he secretly complained in his heart, "Yan'er and I provoked the Cai Hall Master of the Salt Gang in Huai'an, won't anything go wrong?" ”

Zhuang Zhaoxue responded: "Yes, Wang Gongzi, although Suizhu solved the poison of the Tianjing Gang in Huacheng Temple that day, I don't know whether I can dissolve the poison of the sea fog, I don't know if I can solve the poison of the sea fog, I wanted to find a chance to test it, so I was sent here by the master." ”

Liu Hanyan exhaled: "There are really no good people in this world, they are angry everywhere, and it is not enough to suffer the anger of those people in the Salt Gang in Huai'an, and they are looking for anger when they come here." Zhuang Zhaoxue exclaimed: "Senior Sister Yan, how did you meet the Huai'an Salt Gang?" ”

Wang Hou told what happened, and Zhuang Zhaoxue said: "Fortunately, they don't know each other, otherwise it would be troublesome." The Salt Gang is a big gang in the country, every big city has a rudder, and there is a hall below, the power is huge, it's good that Senior Sister Yan doesn't reveal her identity, but don't provoke them. Liu Hanyan said: "If I meet him again, I must kill him." ”

At the moment, the five of them had their own hearts, and they were not in the mood to drink anymore, so they ended hastily. Liu Zhaohui and the three of them live in the room behind the restaurant, which is an important source of income for the Peach Blossom Sect, and many dignitaries who come to eat often stay here, and the food and accommodation are complete.

Although there are many rooms, Liu Hanyan and Zhuang Zhaoxue have been separated for more than a month, and if they can't finish talking, they are clamoring to live in one room. The other three lived in a room, Zhao Xi seemed to be preoccupied, and went back to the room early to blow out the lamp and rest; Liu Zhaohui also felt a little tired, and fell asleep after a while; Wang Hou went to the inn to retrieve the baggage and the horses, and when he saw that they were all asleep, he had to go back to his room and lie down.

Over there, Liu Hanyan and Zhuang Zhaoxue had a good conversation. "Senior Sister Yan, why have you been delayed on the road for so many days? Senior Brother Liu and I were both worried about dying. ”

Liu Hanyan said: "I have been in the nerd's house for more than 20 days, it is very quiet there, not like us at all, I, I don't want to come back." ”

Zhuang Zhaoxue smiled when she heard this: "Silly girl, how can you not go home, for so many days, Wang Gongzi didn't bully you?" Liu Hanyan also smiled: "With his small body, he still dares to bully me?" It's good that I don't bully him, but his father and mother treat me very well, and when I left, I saw my aunt wiping her tears. ”

After a while, Zhuang Zhaoxue asked, "Senior Sister Yan, I see that Senior Brother Zhao is very angry, I am very worried about his ......" "What are you worried about him?" "Have you thought about it, if Master doesn't like Wang Gongzi, what should you do?" "Then I'm not going home."

"The silly girl is talking stupid again...... Master, he is also good for you, Senior Brother Zhao grew up with you and let you everywhere. "Oh, Senior Sister Xue, are you annoyed? Sleep, don't talk about it. ”

After a while, Zhuang Zhaoxue said again: "Senior Sister Yan, Sect Master Lin seems to like you very much. "Well, the last time I went to Nanjing, I didn't want to leave here."

Zhuang Zhaoxue smiled: "You don't want to leave as soon as you encounter a good place?" I don't think Sect Master Lin is generally good to you, just like ...... It's like a mother does to her daughter. Liu Hanyan sighed: "Alas, it has been two years since my mother died, and I really want to have such a mother." ”

The two seemed to be deep in thought, and after a while, Liu Hanyan said softly: "Senior Sister Xue, I can't sleep without the snoring of nerds...... Senior Sister Xue, have you ever stayed in a room when you and my brother came back? Zhuang Zhaoxue chirped: "Silly girl, it's really shameless, how can you live in a room?" ”

Liu Hanyan said with a smile: "The nerd can't beat me, so I'm not afraid of him, so I live in one room." Zhuang Zhaoxue suddenly asked, "Senior Sister Yan, when you came in at night, why were you disheveled and your hair messy?" ”

"Phew, don't say it, it's all that Aunt Qin who gave me some kind of incense, which made my whole body feel like I was on fire, and I was very uncomfortable, and then I ...... Then it was the nerds who saved me. "Huh? How did he save you? "I don't know, I passed out at the time."

Zhuang Zhaoxue sighed: "You are really a stupid girl, but your underwear is intact?" "Senior Sister Xue, what are you talking about, you're ashamed. I'm not a little girl, can I still understand? I'm fine......" The two laughed for most of the night, Zhuang Zhaoxue was still talking softly, but she heard Liu Hanyan snoring slightly, knowing that although she was angry with the salt gang and the people in the restaurant, she quickly threw it out of her mind, and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

On the morning of the second day, the five of them came to the restaurant, and Zhuang Zhaoxue asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
