Chapter 226, pick up the job
Although the Five Elements Chaos Fruit was precious, it was not a big deal for the three of Qingduan Chen not to get it. It's just that the princess looked down on her because of this, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed! The only way is to leave empty-handed and show your heart with actions.
Sure enough, as soon as the three of them left, the princess realized that she was wrong to blame them, and the chagrin in her heart was even worse than that of the three of them. Seeing that the black battleship was gradually moving away, the princess became anxious, looked at Wu Bo for help, and shouted, "Wu Bo!"
Wu Bo naturally understood what the princess meant, and immediately nodded to the princess, then stepped onto the bow of the boat with a leap, and shouted loudly in the direction of the Xuanwei: "Three young heroes go slowly!" My princess still has something to ask for, please save the three people to the end, don't help me! ”
This Wu Bo is very wise, and when he said this, the three of Qingshi really didn't feel good, so they had to stop the boat.
Qingshi was unwilling to face the princess again, so he invited Wu Bo to come to Xuanwei to talk in detail, Wu Bo got on the Xuanwei, but did not immediately tell what he wanted, but slowly gossiped about the human geography, customs and habits of this sea area, and even the relationship between states, etc., Qingshi was naturally interested in listening.
The three of them learned from Wu Bo's mouth that this sea area is vast, known as the Wanshan Sea Area, and there are more than 100,000 large and small islands. And its ancient name is the sea of dark clouds.
There are many states in the sea area, large and small countries and nearly 100 independent sea tribes, among which there are three large countries, from west to east are Yuyang country, mirage country and Zhengxu country. After the easternmost island of the Wanshan Sea and the 9,800-mile sea, there is the Shenmu Continent.
The customs of this sea area respect women, and women are beautiful with fat. In every country, the empress is in charge.
Most of the countries and nationalities in the sea area have fierce people, attacks and killings, pirates are rampant, and soldiers and bandits are causing trouble. They have very low technological civilization, they don't have weapons such as energy cannons at all, and their means of transportation are relatively simple, although they have airships powered by aura, but their level is very low. However, in terms of martial arts, the monks here are extremely developed, which is quite unique.
There are many islands in the Wanshan Sea area, most of the islands are shallow seas, the wind and waves are relatively small, and there are no particularly vicious sea beasts in the sea, which is more suitable for navigation. In fact, there is also a little aura in this sea area, especially on the large island and its surrounding sea, the aura is still relatively abundant, even the Xuanwei and Xuanhu can barely fly. Wanting to be too conspicuous, Aoshi decided to sail the sea with the Xuanwei instead of jet ships.
Later, Wu Bo talked about Hu Hailong's life experience, it turned out that Hu Hailong was originally a naval general of the Mirage, and his father Hu Lang was the deputy head of the internal guard, and he was named Marquis of Bolang. When Hu Lang was convicted, he was beheaded all over the house, and the empress remembered that Hu Hailong's participation in the army had nothing to do with his father's crimes, so she spared his life and was only demoted to a concubine and exiled overseas. Later, Hu Hailong became a pirate. He and Princess Huaiyu were originally classmates in the Royal Academy, so they have long had affection for the princess, and it is rumored that they originally had such an ambiguous relationship.
After learning about some of the situation in the Wanshan Sea area, Qingshi changed the topic and asked: "Uncle Wu, you asked us to 'save people to the end', what does this mean?" ”
"Oh, that's right," Wu Bo said, "We are on our way to Hongxia Island to ask the princess's master, Hongxia Zhenren, for the Five Elements Chaos Fruit. In order to prevent thieves from coveting, we deliberately disguised ourselves and rented merchant ships to cover people's eyes, but the news still leaked and Hu Hailong came. ”
Although Shaoxia drove away Hu Hailong, once this news leaked, it would definitely not be the only one in the Hailong Gang to get it. I estimate that on our way back, there will probably be other forces coming to rob us, so the princess wants to ask Shaoxia to escort us back to the Mirage. ”
"Although this invitation is abrupt, since Shaoxia said that he 'can be regarded as begging for a living at sea', I think maybe you will agree. What kind of remuneration do you want, the young man just asked. As for the previous life-saving grace, the princess and the empress will certainly remember it. ”
"My princess is young and knowledgeable, and she speaks out of proportion, so I have to ask for a few understandings." Wu Bo was able to speak well, spoke very decently, and bowed deeply after speaking.
Qingshi saw that Wu Bo was thoughtful and thoughtful, and the etiquette was very weekly. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately said briskly: "Okay! We took this business, and I want three Five Elements Chaos Fruits. ”
"Five Elements Chaos Fruit!" Wu Bo knew that Qingshi might put forward this condition, but at this time, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said hesitantly, "Well, ...... this"
"Let's not hide it," said Qingshi, "we didn't know you had this fruit beforehand, but now that we know, I'd love to get a few." However, a gentleman loves money in a good way, and although I am not a gentleman, I also have my own principles. Therefore, I will neither take it by force nor disdain to take it into account. ”
"If you want to hire me as the princess's bodyguard, I will ask for the Five Elements Chaos Fruit as a reward, and the price is clear. In this way, we don't have to worry about what kind of favor or reward. If you can talk about it, you will cooperate, and if you can't talk about it, you will pull it down, wouldn't it be happy! ”
"The young man of Qingshi is admirable!" Wu Bo said, "It's naturally best to deal with it like this, but there are some troubles in the middle, maybe you can be flexible, Shaoxia is willing to listen to what I say?" ”
"Since Uncle Wu is embarrassed, how dare I be reluctant?" Qingshi smiled slightly, "Let's say goodbye, Uncle Wu, please go back!" ”
"Would it be better to replace it with the Holy Fire Fruit and the Holy Water Pith?" Wu Bo was anxious, and hurriedly said, "It's not that we are reluctant to give up the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, it's really because these fruits are used to save people, and they are to save Her Majesty's life!" Please be considerate of the young man! ”
"The Five Elements Chaos Fruit is to save the Empress? Replace it with the Holy Fire Fruit and the Holy Water Pith? Qingshi was stunned.
Qingshi once read a book in Yunlu that specialized in introducing the top treasures of the Tianlong world, called "Hundred Treasures Illustrated Book", and the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, Holy Fire Fruit, and Holy Water Essence were all listed in the book.
Therefore, Qingshi knows that this Five Elements Chaos Fruit contains the attributes of the Five Elements, as a treasure to enhance the level and quality of the monk's true qi, it is very precious, but its most precious role is to heal and detoxify, it is said that no matter what injury and what poison it can solve.
The Holy Fire Fruit is a fruit that contains pure fire attribute divine power, and it can be used to improve the quality of fire attribute true qi extremely effectively, and it only has such a purpose. Although it only contains a kind of divine power of the fire attribute, it is also because of this, its effect on improving the quality of the true qi of the fire attribute is much better than that of the Five Elements Chaos Fruit.
The Holy Water Pulp is similar to the Holy Fire Fruit, and it is a superb treasure that enhances the quality of the true qi of the water attribute.
If it is for detoxification and healing, then the Five Elements Chaos Fruit is naturally more precious, and if it is only used to improve the quality of water and fire true qi, the Holy Water Essence and Holy Fire Fruit will undoubtedly have a better effect.
Of course, there are exceptions, for a monk like Qingshi who has all the true qi of the five elements, the effect of the Five Elements Chaos Fruit in improving the quality of the true qi will be better.
Qingshi wanted the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, and in addition to using it for himself, he also hoped to use it on Chen Tianye, in order to awaken his fire attribute true qi and achieve the five elements true qi. And if you use the Holy Fire Fruit, the chances of success are undoubtedly even higher.
Qingshi was excited, and he already agreed in his heart, but he still had some heart palpitations in the eyes of the princess who was the 'number one beauty in the world'.
Wu Bo was afraid that he would still insist on the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, so he said: "This time we got six Five Elements Chaos Fruit, to remove the empress's poison, I don't know how many we need to use, but Hongxia Zhenren said that no matter what kind of poison, at most five can be completely eradicated, and the reason why six are given is to be prepared." I am here to assure you that if there is any surplus after detoxification, it will also be paid to the young man as a reward, and the amount left will be given as much! If you break your promise! Thunder and thunder! ”
"Uncle Wu is serious," Qingshi said, "I can trust you. ”
"Dare to ask what is the identity of Uncle Wu?" Chen Tianye asked on the side, implying that he was afraid that he would not be able to count his words.
"Old man Mu Siwu," Wu Bo said, "I am the head of the internal affairs office of the Mirage Dynasty, the cousin of the current empress, and I can call the shots in this matter." ”
"Hmm!" "In that case, then we'll take it." "Qingshi wants the spirit fruit baby, so he can't care about anything else. Xin said: "No matter how intentional the princess is, I just pretend to be stupid, is it possible that she will still be able to eat me?" ”
"Good! Good! Wu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I hereby promise that as long as Shaoxia sends the princess and the six Five Elements Chaos Fruit back to my Mirage Kingdom court safely, I will save the empress's life." I will reward two holy fire fruits and one holy water pith. In addition, after saving the empress, if there is any surplus of the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, all the remaining fruits will also be paid to the young man as a reward. ”
Qingshi stretched out his hand to high-five Wu Bo, but thought in his heart: "Since this empress has been poisoned, hehe, I have to catch a few more of these Five Elements Chaos Fruit." "Healing injuries and poisons is what Qingshi is good at.
After negotiating the conditions, Qingshi and Wu Bo discussed the route of the return trip.
Wu Bo is most worried about the fishing country, this fishing country and the mirage country are mortal enemies, it lies between the mirage country and Hongxia Island, no matter how far back and forth, it must pass through its boundaries and seas. Therefore, the princess and her party only traveled in disguise, and if they knew their whereabouts, it would be troublesome.
In fact, Wu Bo estimated that the whereabouts of his party had been exposed, because the team that had secretly received his party did not appear at the scheduled time and place. Wu Bo was worried that Hu Hailong was probably bribed by the Yuyang Kingdom to hijack the ship, and the response team was likely to have been secretly wiped out by the Yuyang Kingdom.
Wu Bo believes that although Yuyang wants to take down the princess, it is unwilling to cause a frontal war, and fake pirates are the best strategy. Wu Bo was afraid that the pirates would not be able to complete the task, and the Yuyang Association would take direct action.
Listening to Uncle Wu's account of the situation, Qingshi thought about it and said, "Uncle Wu, do many people know about this operation?" Is there a possibility that there will be whistleblowers in your team and the princess? ”
"No!" Wu Bo said categorically, "I can also hear from Hu Hailong's words that someone must have leaked our actions." Judging by the timing, the leak must have happened before we arrived at Hongxia Island, and only three of us in the team knew the true destination of the operation. Except for me and the eldest princess, Lao Liao has died in battle. Therefore, the leaker can only be someone else. ”
"Who else knows about this?" Qingshi asked, "Does Wu Bo have a suspicion?" ”
"The receiving team is also disguised as a caravan," Wu Bo said, "Among the more than 30 team members, only the three leading ones should know about it, and they all have the possibility of leaking secrets, but I don't think it's very likely." In addition, how many people in the court knew about it, and who might have leaked it, it is not something I can know, nor can I casually doubt. ”
"Wu Bo means that there may be court strife?" Qingshi frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the people close to the empress, how could you be poisoned?" That's a lot of fun! ”
"Shaoxia doesn't need to be embarrassed for the time being," Wu Bo said, "The top priority is to send the Five Elements Chaos Fruit back and save the Empress's life." Looking for a mole and other things, we'll take it in stride when we get back. ”
"Bringing back the Spirit Fruit is naturally a top priority," Qingshi said, "However, if we can't find the traitor, I'm afraid that if we bring back the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, we may not be able to save the Empress's life." ”
"yes!" Wu Bo sighed and said, "The Empress's poisoning and the leakage of the news should be done by the same person, if we can't find this traitor, even if we bring back the spirit fruit, he will probably use other means to attack the Empress again." But I believe that the young man is very clever and will be able to find the real culprit! ”
"Am I very smart?" Qingshi suddenly smiled, "I think Uncle Wu, you are a very clever big fool!" ”
"Why did the young man say this?" Wu Bo exclaimed.
"Come on!" Qingshi said with a smile, "You added the phrase 'save the empress's life to your promise, which means that I not only have to send the princess and the spirit fruit back, but also guarantee the empress's life." I don't need to be embarrassed for the time being, which means that after sending back the spirit fruit, I still have to do the difficult thing of finding the traitor! Otherwise, the life of the empress cannot be guaranteed. Yes and no? I'm in your hands! ”
"Yes!" Wu Bo also laughed, "But it's not all! I was tricked in my words, but with the intelligence of the young man, you can see through it as soon as you hear it, and you are willing to play it. ”
"Oh?" Qingshi said, "So where am I smart?" Am I not stupid? ”
"Shaoxia, you're not stupid!" Wu Bo smiled, bowed towards Qingshi and said, "I'd rather fall into embarrassment myself than help others out of danger!" You are good-hearted and chivalrous! ”
"Give me less high hats!" Qingshi scolded with a smile, "You old fox! Who's going to help you out of trouble? I'm here to earn the Treasure Spirit Fruit! Also, don't be a young man, I'm not blind! I'm the bluestone boss of the Xuanhu Gang! ”
Qingshi is not joking, but really intends to use the name of the Xuanhu Gang to operate in this sea area. Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian also agreed, in order to compete for the throne of the second master, the two started to fight without saying a word, and the result was that Chen Tianye won a move.
However, Chen Tianye did not become the second leader, because Xiaopang was very interested in the second leader. Soon, the five masters of the Xuanhu Gang were seated, Qingshi is the boss, needless to say, Xiaopang is the second leader, Chen Tianye is the third, Duan Wutian is the fourth, and Xiang An is naturally the fifth leader. This Xuanhu Gang is really different, all of them are in charge, and there is not a single minion.
Qingshi took over the work, of course, to find a way to complete it, after thinking about it, Qingshi made a plan, and everyone in charge and Wu Bo, the employer, had no opinion, so, after dark, it was implemented according to the plan.
