Chapter 140: Boarding the boat
In the conference hall, Xu Huaigu took the sword first, and even Xie Qingyun didn't expect it. However, since the flying sword has been sacrificed, there is no room to turn back. She hurriedly helped to run the Sect Protector Array to cover the movement of the sword here, in case the others on the Xianzhou would notice it, after all, there were still a few great cultivators on it.
Shooting to cover up the movement, Xie Qingyun frowned, looked at Xu Huaigu worriedly, and persuaded: "Don't be impulsive!" ”
Xu Huaigu sneered twice and scolded: "The things raised by dogs dare to say that business is not like this!" Even when the city lord of your family Wei came to me, he had to sit calmly and talk about business, what kind of thing are you! It is also worth talking about how business is done! ”
Steward Fan looked at the young man who was flying extremely fast, and only felt a chill down his spine. However, his face was still tightly frowning, and he warned: "Don't make mistakes for yourself! If you kill me, you will definitely not be able to get out of this place, let alone let Xianzhou take the people of this sect away. You've figured it out! ”
That being said, that Fan steward is not meat on the chopping board, at this moment, he separated Xu Huaigu's heart with words, but there were some small movements in his hands, ready to wait for Xu Huaigu to hesitate before casting a spell to kill his flying sword.
Xu Huaigu has traveled so far to the rivers and lakes, and he is very familiar with this set. So he had just snuck his fingers into his sleeves, and he saw through it at a glance. Immediately, the flying sword advanced another half and pressed tightly against Steward Fan's robe. Xu Huaigu half-squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Steward Fan, if you dare to move your hand for half a minute, you can try to see if your magic robe can block my flying sword." ”
Steward Fan glanced at the sword on his chest, it was an immortal soldier, and the magic robe on his body was just a high-grade magic weapon. He gritted his teeth, had to stop the movements in his hand, and still said angrily: "I still say the same thing, if you dare to kill me, no one here can leave!" Wait for your death! ”
Xu Huaigu stood up, walked in front of him, pointed to himself, and said, "Do you know who I am?" ”
This Fan steward really doesn't know. Because this man's cultivation is not so high, he only thinks that he is a person from the sect here, is it possible that there is no background? What background can he have in this poor and remote place? Most of them are faked.
He closed his mouth tightly, and also looked at Xu Huaigu fiercely, and remained silent.
"I don't dare to kill you, do I?" Xu Huaigu smiled, "Believe it or not, even if I kill you tonight and write a letter to your city lord, not only will your city lord not be held accountable, but he will have to send Xianzhou to pick up people again." That's the deal! You people who deceive your superiors and deceive, who fill your pockets, are innocent of death. ”
Steward Fan's face was a little tense, and he began to look at the person in front of him. I saw that his expression was calm, and his murderous aura was cold, as if he was really not afraid of the consequences of killing, and he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.
Regardless of the identity of this person, even if he is just scaring himself, as the saying goes, he is willing to cut his body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse. At this moment, if he is angry and really kills himself, even if someone behind him helps him avenge, it will be too late. It is really unlucky to have such an unreasonable sword cultivator on the stall, so I can't help but let myself breathe a sigh of relief, appease him first, and then make a plan.
The flying sword was still against his chest, and his life was beyond his control at the moment. Xu Huaigu sat back in his place and asked, "I want to ask you again, can you leave tomorrow?" ”
Steward Fan's tone was much softener, and he said: "If you can go, you can go, but I don't have to say anything about this matter alone, and the owner of the immortal boat has to speak." Even if you can go, it is inevitable to buy the color bead money for the talisman, this is the rule of Luoyun City. ”
Xu Huaigu looked directly at him, squinting slightly, weighing in his heart.
Xie Qingyun saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, and he was also afraid that Xu Huaigu would cause trouble, so he hurriedly persuaded: "As long as you can go, five hundred colored beads, I can still afford Qingfeng Valley." ”
Xu Huaigu said coldly: "It's not that something can't afford to happen, it's just that when Wei Caiyi signed a contract with me, he didn't mention it." I have already paid the money that should be paid, and the money that should not be paid is not much, especially for this kind of traitorous villain. ”
Steward Fan pursed his lips and didn't squeak.
There was silence in the council hall for another moment, as if a final decision had been made, Xu Huaigu finally removed the flying sword, and said lightly: "No matter what, we have to set off tomorrow." Regarding the 500 colored beads you said, I will write to Wei Caiyi to ask clearly, if there is really one, I will give it on credit first, and I will personally go to Luoyun City to give it to her. But if not, how Wei Caiyi will deal with you, you will look at it in your own heart, then it has nothing to do with me. ”
Steward Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Xu Huaigu, and still had palpitations.
Xu Huaigu continued: "Take me to meet your boat owner, you must discuss everything tonight. ”
No matter how unwilling Steward Fan was, he had to nod unwillingly, so Xie Qingyun withdrew the spell and no longer covered up the movement here.
The three of them immediately left the council hall, and Steward Fan sacrificed a flying magic weapon and flew towards the immortal boat. Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun glanced at each other, each offered a flying sword, and also boarded the immortal boat.
This time, it was Na Fan's steward who took the lead, so no one stopped him, and the three of them landed on the fairy boat smoothly. Standing on the deck and looking at it, I saw that the surrounding sea of clouds was dark and gloomy, and there were many houses and pavilions on the fairy boat, and there were staggered alleys running through the houses, and the lights were magnificent. There is no lack of delicacy in the majesty, and there is more solemnity in the delicacy, just like a strict and neat small city. Even if Xu Huaigu was angry in his heart, he had to sigh that this immortal boat was indeed wonderful.
As soon as a few people landed on the boat, there was immediately a small man who looked like a guy on the side and greeted him with a smile, flattering: "Steward Fan is back, please come in quickly." ”
Xu Huaigu looked at the man, he was also a monk from the Four Realms, but judging by his demeanor, he was no different from the flattering slave. After all, he is a monk from the four realms, but he didn't expect that on this immortal boat, he was just a miscellaneous guy.
Steward Fan was holding his breath, and he happened to have a punching bag, and immediately scolded: "Go do your business, don't dangle in front of my eyes, look upset!" Didn't see any guests coming? ”
The man put a cold ass on his hot face, glanced at the two people behind Steward Fan, didn't squeak, and walked away quickly and silently. Steward Fan walked to an attic on the head of the Xianzhou with a grim face, which should be the residence of the person in charge of the boat, and the two followed.
Walking to the front of the building, Steward Fan knocked on the door a few times, and a young maid immediately came to open the door. Xu Huaigu passed by the maid and glanced down, she was a female cultivator of the Three Realms, and she was born very clean. He couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue in his heart, this immortal boat in Luoyun City is really magnificent, it is a miscellaneous one, and it is also a cultivation with three or four realms. I think that when I took a cross-continent ferry to Feiyu Island in Xicheng, although it was also a very large ferry, and there was a Nine Realms monk to suppress it, but the maids on the boat were just ordinary people. Thousands of thousands
Probably because the ferry boat is the property of the rich merchants in the world, and the fairy boat is completely the property of the fairy family. Ordinary people in the market, it is rare to see a few monks in their lives, let alone know each other, but they just want to get on the ship to do a chores, and no one must be able to look at it.
Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but think of the people on the ferry again. The little onion who served him, the little finch who boxed and performed on the street, after the ferry sank into the sea, he didn't know where he went, and he hoped that he would be safe.
Steward Fan walked into the attic, and saw that although it was late at night, there were still many people in the building, dressed decently, and all of them were monks. Xu Huaigu glanced at it a few times, then went upstairs with Steward Fan, and climbed to the top until the third floor before stopping in front of a door.
Steward Fan took two breaths, calmed down, knocked on the door, and said, "Boat owner, it's me." ”
When no one answered, the door suddenly opened, and the three of them entered, only to see that the room was empty, except for a balcony. The balcony window was open, and the cold wind kept pouring in from the outside.
Steward Fan walked to the balcony and said, "Boat master, these two said they wanted to see you. ”
A shadow came in from the balcony and landed in the room, and it was a person. Xu Huaigu looked at the man, and saw a lean little old man, with white eyebrows, a goatee, and a pair of underwear. Although he is old, his eyes are still bright, like a torch in the night.
I heard the man speak, and it was an old voice, "Who are these two?" ”
Steward Fan replied, "It's someone from the sect here. ”
The old man waved his hand and told him, "Go and ask for tea." ”
Steward Fan didn't want to stay in front of Xu Huaigu for a long time, so he hurriedly left at this moment. The man he called the owner of the boat closed the balcony windows, and as soon as the wind stopped, the house fell silent. He smiled and said generously, "Please sit down, two of you." ”
Xie Qingyun sat down, but Xu Huaigu didn't sit down, looked at this person lightly, and asked, "You are the owner of this immortal boat?" ”
The little old man nodded and said, "Yes, my surname is Meng, I don't know the two noble surnames?" ”
Xu Huaigu replied: "This is the sect Xie Gu Master here, my name is Xu Huaigu." ”
Lord Meng Zhou seemed to be stunned and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows and said, "What, you know us?" ”
"Know, know." Lord Meng Zhou smiled, "Naturally, this is the first time we have met in our lives, but I have seen the contract signed by City Lord Wei and you, and the names of Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun are signed on it, so I think it must be you." ”
Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "Since you have seen the contract, you should know that this transaction was negotiated between us and your city lord in person, and we dare to delay this matter, I am really not afraid that your city lord will blame it?" ”
Lord Meng Zhou smiled and said, "How dare we drag it? It's really not enough Xianzhou aura, so I just have to rest for a while. However, since the two Daoists have come up in person to speak, the immortal boat will be able to set off immediately. ”
Xu Huaigu sneered: "Didn't you say that you still need colored bead money?" I'm also going to write a letter to Lord Wei to ask if there really is such a rule. ”
"No, no." The Meng Zhou Lord waved his hand and said with a smile, "The city lord is so busy every day, so you don't have to ask her about these little things in person." Originally, it was naturally going to cost money, but since the two of them have a relationship with the city lord, I will open my mouth about this money, and it will be a big deal. ”
Xu Huaigu asked again: "Then can you start tomorrow?" ”
Lord Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun glanced at each other, and Xie Qingyun nodded. Xu Huaigu also gave up, and said in a deep voice: "You also know that your city lord has every opportunity, but you don't know that she received my letter and immediately rushed to Dongfu Yaozhou overnight to personally discuss this deal, do you dare to make a mistake in this matter?" Master Meng, this is a long way to Middle-earth, if there is a half-star difference on the road, I will personally go to Luoyun City to ask clearly. It's Wei Caiyi, so I have to give an explanation! ”
Master Meng Zhou also agreed, so Xu Huaigu sat down, and the three of them discussed it for a while, and in less than a few words, they settled the matter, which was a thousand times stronger than the one surnamed Fan.
After negotiating the departure tomorrow, Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun did not stay long, and immediately went down with the sword. As soon as the two of them left, Steward Fan led a maid to bring tea and walked in, but saw that there was only one person left in the house.
He glanced at Steward Fan and said unhappily: "Everyone is gone, and the tea is coming." ”
Steward Fan sneered, asked the maid to put down the tea, and hurriedly sent her away, then walked to the side of Meng Zhouzhu, and said in a low voice: "Boat master, the woman is good talkative, and the man's temper is too bad." I was down there before, and I didn't say a few words, and the flying sword was pointed at my heart, and I really couldn't help it, so I brought them up to you. ”
Master Meng Zhou said lightly: "Forget it, I have made enough money in this transaction, and it is not bad for these five hundred colored beads." The other two immortal boats parked in the north have now received almost 1,000 colored beads and can set off. ”
Could it be that Wei Caiyi really made a mistake, and I don't know if the two immortal boats are not enough to take everyone in Qingfeng Valley away at one time? Wei Caiyi is so shrewd, naturally he would not fail to think of this. It turned out that there were four immortal boats coming from Luoyun City, and these people saw that it was profitable, so they simply sent only two immortal boats to Qingfeng Valley, and the other two stopped to the north, releasing the news that this immortal boat could go to Middle-earth for refuge.
"Now Dongfu Yaozhou is the meat on the chopping board, but if you have money in your hand, who doesn't want to leave?" The Meng Zhou Lord shook his head and smiled, "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”
Steward Fan hurriedly smiled: "What the boat owner said is true. ”
The owner of the Xianzhou boat, surnamed Meng, stood up, opened the balcony window, and flew out. He sat at the very top of the attic, blowing the night breeze, and looked at the sky, but he saw a huge full moon in the sky, surrounded by bright stars and stars, and the full moon was surrounded by it.
This is the highest point of the fairy boat, overlooking it, all the scenery is in full view. He smiled and said to himself, "It's still for me." ”
