140, thousands of miles alone!
"Gone!"
After handing over the captives such as Sha Wanli and Han Chun, as well as the capture of the Shark King's ships and goods to the Yingzhou government, Chen Yuniang only stayed in Yingzhou Port for two days, and after replenishing some water and goods, she waved her hand in a dashing manner, said goodbye to Shen Lang, and took her brothers to embark on the Shark King, which had been renamed "Flying Fish", and pulled anchor and set sail.
When Chen Yuniang was at the helm and seemed to be concentrating on driving the boat.
Luo Erxi shook up to her and asked:
"Shopkeeper, are we really leaving?"
Chen Yuniang glanced at him:
"Or else?"
"But uncle, he ...... You just let him stay in Da Chu? ”
"He is going to the imperial capital to practice Taoism, how can I mislead his future?"
"You don't have to worry about him and Muhammad......"
"Shen Lang is not yet eighteen, and Mu Qingxue is almost twenty-two, is she embarrassed to attack Shen Lang?"
"Jade lady, we must not underestimate the cheekiness of the people in the official mansion! Completely shameless big and small officials, do we know less? ”
"Okay, Master Mu is interesting enough for us, and he gave us all the Shark King and let us exchange shotguns. The goods copied on King Shark Island also gave us a lot of money, not to mention the silk porcelain and precious spices that can make a lot of money from changing hands, Luo Er, you have hundreds of gold coins in your purse, right? I'm embarrassed to speak ill of her behind her back. ”
"Master Mu is indeed righteous, he is a rare good official, obviously strong in martial arts, but he is not a bully, but approachable, unlike that Jin Yiming, who is so arrogant and arrogant with an embroidered pillow...... Of course, I also admire the people of Muta. But I'm not worried about you, the shopkeeper? Muta people have status, martial arts, beautiful people, and so rich......"
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. I need you to worry? Oh, I've been riding a pony for so many days, and I don't know who he is? I bet that with his temperament, sooner or later he will not be able to get along in the imperial capital, and one day, he will come to Nanyang to find me......"
When the Shark King, renamed "Flying Fish", faded away, and the other shopkeepers also loaded their goods and set sail.
Shen Lang was stopping at the dock, looking at the "new. Flying Fish", watching the sail shadow go away.
"Why didn't you keep her?"
Mu Qingxue stood behind him and asked.
"I've stayed all the way several times, but she doesn't want to go to the imperial capital with me, and she doesn't even want to stay in Yingzhou." Shen Lang sighed: "She said that she was going to Broken Leaf Island to join the Dragon King of the Seven Seas, practicing martial arts hard, the initial goal is the third grade, and the long-term goal is the first grade." ”
In fact, Chen Yuniang also said that she wanted to save a rich family business, and when Shen Lang couldn't get along in Dachu one day, she would come to pick him up and go to Nanyang.
When the time comes, the two roar the seven seas together, learn from the dragon king to establish a country on their own, claim the king and hegemon, and then give birth to three sons and four daughters, and everyone canonizes a country......
Of course, there is no need to say these words to Mu Qingxue.
"It's a pity. The Jade Lady is born with divine power, copper skin and iron bones, and her understanding is also outstanding, in terms of martial arts talent alone, when she is not under Shen Lang, she may even be a little stronger than you. If you can go to the Divine Hunting Hall and be taught by Lord Yan himself......"
Mu Qingxue shook her head:
"That's it, she has too deep prejudices against the Great Chu court, and her temperament is too violent, and she is afraid that she will cause a big disaster if she goes to Beijing. Going to Broken Leaf Island is also a good thing for her, if she can be cultivated by the Dragon King, her future achievements are also limitless. ”
Shen Lang smiled and changed the subject:
"Lord Mu, Sha Wanli, Han Chun, and those captives of the Shark King Gang will be handed over to the Yingzhou government for disposal? The local government of Yingzhou is deeply implicated in the Guogong Mansion, will it be ......?"
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while, and said:
"Sha Wanli and the others were all brought back by me. The people of the local government will never dare to indulge them privately. After autumn at the latest, they will be punished by the Ming canon. As for the Guogong Mansion...... This matter is very complicated, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the Guogong Mansion. You don't need to bother about this, just go to the imperial capital to practice Taoism with peace of mind. ”
Shen Lang asked:
"Aren't Mu people going back to the imperial capital together?"
Mu Qingxue shook her head:
"Yingzhou still has a lot to do. In addition to the matter of the Guogong Mansion, the Blood Shadow Cult has not yet been thoroughly investigated, and there is also the old grievance of the Jade Lady's family, and I also promise to help her investigate it clearly...... So I need to stay in Yingzhou for a while. ”
The fact is that she can't return to the imperial capital for the time being, lest she be retaliated by the emperor's secret arrow-
On that day, the big eagle on Sword Pavilion Island, whether it was to find the remnants of the South China Sea Sword Sect to report the news, or to come to Yingzhou to send a letter to the Yingguo Gazette, the death of Jin Nanfei and Jin Yiming must have been spread long ago.
And ten days have passed from Jiange Island to Yingzhou, and even though the emperor is far away in the imperial capital, he is afraid that he has already received this news.
Before Mu Qingxue informed Yan Tianying of this matter in correspondence, and Yan Tianying came forward to mediate, Mu Qingxue really couldn't easily return to the imperial capital. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will encounter countless cold guns and hidden arrows on the road.
She couldn't keep Shen Lang by her side, lest he be implicated.
Of course, strictly speaking, even if the emperor attacked Shen Lang, it could not be said to be implicated, because Jin Yiming was originally captured and killed by Shen Lang.
But Mu Qingxue, as a Shangguan, was dispatched by her for the trip to Shenlang Shark King Island, of course she had to take responsibility, take the cauldron, and help Shen Lang carry this matter.
These causes and effects Mu Qingxue will not explain to Shen Lang.
She thought that Shen Lang, like other pirates, had been washed away by her with a magic weapon, and she didn't know the secrets of the collusion between Yingguo Gong, the Nanhai Sword Sect, and the current emperor.
didn't know that Shen Lang had already recovered his memory, and he was clear about Yingguogong's "backer", Jin Nanfei's identity, Jin Yiming's life experience, and the emperor's scandal.
However, Shen Lang didn't break it, lest Mu Qingxue give him another "amnestic cleaning technique", he only said:
"Then this time, I want to go to the imperial capital by myself?"
Mu Qingxue glanced at him:
"Questions?"
Shen Lang shook his head and smiled:
"Absolutely. Walking alone on King Shark Island, I am not afraid of going deep into the wolf's den and tiger's den, let alone walking inside Dachu? ”
Mu Qingxue bowed slightly:
"Going to the imperial capital and traveling alone for thousands of miles is also a tempering for you, and it is also a journey to broaden your horizons. We people in the Shenzhutang are not sitting in the official office and can do it by looking at the files, but also have to be familiar with the customs and customs of various places.
"Therefore, you don't have to be in a hurry on this trip, look more and think more on the way. In addition, don't cause trouble at will, although your current strength is good, you can meet a big master, but it is still not enough to see. ”
Shen Lang nodded:
"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember it."
Mu Qingxue put her hand into the big sword and took out a jade pendant engraved with a statue of a sitting Buddha:
"This is a gadget that has been consecrated by the great real person of Buddhism, 'Liuli Venerable', which can bless you with a 'King Kong is not bad' for a quarter of an hour. During this period, as long as it is not attacked by a fourth-rank Dacheng realm martial artist, or the spell of a fifth-grade monk, it will not be broken. You wear it for self-defense. ”
Extreme Soul Chaos
After returning to Yingzhou this time, Mu Qingxue specially went to the "Jingnian Nunnery" outside the city to exchange it for Yan Tianying's souvenir letter and a hundred taels of gold.
If a similar talisman is sold in the outside world, not to mention a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of gold cannot be taken.
That is, Mu Qingxue is a famous catcher in the Divine Hunting Hall, and she has Yan Tianying's svenir, so that she can win this precious talisman at a friendly price that is almost "given for free".
Shen Lang knew that she was a treasure boy and had bad fortune, so he was not polite to her, took the jade pendant, put it away closely, and bowed to her:
"Thank you for your generous gift."
Mu Qingxue took out another handwritten letter, a black iron waist card, and a small porcelain bottle:
"The letter is for Lord Yan, and it has my true qi painting, and outsiders can't forge it. You give the letter to Lord Yan, and he will introduce you to Wanfa Zhenren, and ask Wanfa Zhenren to recommend you to enter the Imperial Capital Daoist Academy.
"The waist card is the certificate of the god to catch the hall of apprenticeship, if the government checks, you will show this waist card, and no one will easily embarrass you.
"In the porcelain bottle is the general 'refining viscera' auxiliary elixir of the Divine Capture Hall, although it may not be as good as the special elixir that matches your exercises, the medicinal effect can be regarded as okay. It can moisturize the lungs and repair dark wounds, so that you can breathe longer every day and leave fewer hidden dangers. ”
After Shen Lang put away the letters, waist cards, and porcelain bottles, Mu Qingxue said again:
"I won't give any more money. The bounty I gave you on King Shark Island, and the last time I picked up gold to share your gold coins, didn't you leave them all to Jade Lady, right? ”
After the raid on the Shark King Gang, the seized cash was actually not too much, and it did not match the scale of the Shark King Gang.
However, it is the Nanhai Sword Sect that really controls the Shark King Gang, and the Nanhai Sword Sect is the emperor's money bag that cannot be seen, and the Guogong Mansion is responsible for assisting the Nanhai Sword Sect in transporting gold and silver goods to the emperor. It is obvious where the cash accumulated by the Shark King Gang over the years has gone.
Therefore, this trip to raid the Shark King Gang only seized more than 100,000 Dachu and foreign dollars from Western countries, plus 10,000 taels of silver ingots and thousands of taels of gold. Most of the rest are goods such as silk, porcelain, spices, etc.
The rewards distributed by Mu Qingxue to the pirates who assisted her in suppressing the Shark King Gang were mainly ships and cargo, supplemented by a small amount of cash.
Most of the remaining gold and silver dollars, Mu Qingxue did not take a penny, and all of them were transported back to Yingzhou, put into the treasury and sealed, waiting to be handed over to the state treasury.
Of course, for Shen Lang, the hero who helped her lock Shark King Island, and also plotted against Chen Yuniang, and made great contributions, Mu Qingxue did not hesitate to reward her. Within the scope of her authority and responsibility, she rewarded Shen Lang with a thousand silver dollars, a hundred taels of gold, and let him look at the transcripts of martial arts cheats and spell secret scrolls.
Later, he found two boxes of gold and gave him hundreds of gold coins.
As for keeping all the money for Chen Yuniang......
Well, Chen Yuniang not only didn't ask for Shen Lang's money, but after buying the goods in Yingzhou Port last night, she also gave Shen Lang the two hundred taels of gold that Ghost Wang Dong used to buy her, saying that the imperial capital was expensive and life was not easy, so she gave him pocket money.
In short, Shen Lang, who once became a poor egg, is now rich and rich.
"Don't worry, Master Mu, I have a lot of entanglements, enough to use."
"That's good. I have nothing to explain, so you can leave immediately and rush to Beijing. ”
"Huh? Are you going to leave now? ”
"Well, the sooner the better. Don't stay in Yingzhou for a long time, after leaving the boundary of Yingzhou, slow down and see more about the customs and customs of various places. By the way, do you know the way to the imperial capital? ”
"I don't know."
“……”
Hearing his tone so crisp and straightforward, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but be slightly stunned, blinked speechlessly, and had to poke her hand into the big cloud again and take out a scroll of maps: "The map can always be understood, right?" ”
"I can read it."
"Then follow the map and follow the official road. When you arrive at the Langlong River, you can take a boat along the canal to the north. ”
"Okay."
Shen Lang took the scroll, unfolded the map and glanced at it casually, then rolled up the map, and saluted Mu Qingxue again:
"Then I'll leave now, take care of Mu, Lord Mu."
"Well, you should take care of yourself all the way."
Shen Lang didn't drag the mud and water, and he saluted Mu Qingxue again, turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Mu Qingxue hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Where did Xiao Zhao go?"
When I went, I thought you were reluctant to give me up......
Shen Lang was speechless for a while, paused, and turned back to spread his hands:
"I don't know! Don't worry, when I learn the seven-grade Dao technique of 'summoning demon beasts', I will summon Xiao Zhao out. ”
Mu Qingxue snorted lightly, and the corners of her lips skimmed slightly:
"Xiao Zhao is not a demon beast, how to summon it? Besides, are you lying to me that I don't know Taoism? With the technique of 'summoning demon beasts', the summoned demon beasts are all random. Even if Xiao Zhao is really a demon beast, you can't guarantee that you can summon it. ”
Shen Lang smiled:
"Then please wait and see!"
After speaking, he also waved his hand in a chic manner:
"I'm leaving, take care!"
