Chapter 231, missing

Qingshi and the others returned to the Xuanwei and set off immediately, but as soon as they started, they heard a voice shouting: "Qingshi is the master, can you let Hu board the ship?" ”

Qingshi heard the sound and looked, only to see Hu Hailong flying with his membrane wings, circling the Xuanwei.

With a move of his mind, Qingshi opened the defensive circle enchantment and let Hu Hailong land on the ship.

"Hu Da is in charge!" Qingshi drove the Xuanwei to sail east at full speed, and said to Hu Hailong, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Master Qingda," Hu Hailong put away his wings, hugged his fist at Qingshi and said, "Don't mention the title of Master Hu, I don't want to do anything about it, and throw the position of the helper to the fourth child." From now on, I have nothing to do with the Sea Dragons. ”

"Congratulations!" Qingshi said, "To make a living at sea, you don't necessarily have to kill people and plunder goods. Brother Hu can be regarded as a rebirth, congratulations! As he spoke, Qingshi took out an egg-sized bead and threw it to Hu Hailong, which was the demon pill that Hu Hailong lost to Qingshi.

"Demon Pill!" Hu Hailong took the demon pill and asked in a daze, "What does this mean?" ”

"Today's gambling battle doesn't count!" Qingshi said, "I lied to Brother Hu. The princess was escorted back to the court by me a few days ago. Actually, even if the princess is still on my ship, I can't bet on her! The princess is not the trophy of my captivity, and I have been messing with you to save the lives of her people. ”

"This ......" Hu Hailong couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded and said, "That's right, it makes sense!" I'll just say that a person like the master of Qingda can be a pirate who burns, kills, and loots? ”

"Brother Hu is overrated," Qingshi said, "After I rescued the princess, she hired my Xuanhu to help her and Lingguo return to the court to save her empress mother." I wagered war with you to extract information from you about the employer who had made you rob the princess. ”

"Shame!" Hu Hailong lowered his head and sighed.

"So," Qingshi said, "this gambling battle between you and me is not counted, I have no bets, and if you win, I will only have to pay the bill." So you demon pill, I have to return it to you. ”

"Alas! The high righteousness of Qingda master! Hu Hailong sighed, "It's really admirable!" ”

Hu Hailong's exercises and most powerful martial arts are water-attributed, and this water-attribute demon pill was obtained by him after spending countless resources, and it is a treasure prepared for the impact of the elixir realm. To him, this was the most valuable cultivation treasure.

"Alright," Qingshi said, "Brother Hu has anything else to do other than tell me that you have changed your ways?" ”

"I originally wanted to ask the big boss to give me a ride," Hu Hailong said, "I want to go to Zhengxu Kingdom to join my senior brother, and I must pass through the Mirage Kingdom." Now, I've changed my mind again, since the Xuanhu Gang, the leader of Qingda, is not a pirate, then I dare to ask the big boss to take it in! Let me be an errand boy in the Xuanhu Gang! Please make it happen to the big boss and the two masters! ”

After Hu Hailong finished speaking, he hugged his fists and bowed deeply to Qingshi, and saluted Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian with fists!

"Hahaha......" Duan Wutian laughed, "We have five leaders in the Xuanhu Gang, but there is no one minions!" Lao Hu, are you funny, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your friends at sea? ”

"Ahh Hu Hailong was taken aback and said, "The Xuanhu Gang is just the five of you?" Not even a gang? ”

"That's right!" Qingshi smiled, "And my Xuanhu Gang was officially opened a few days ago, speaking of which, this name is still what I said on Lao Hu's boat that day." However, then our brothers felt that it was convenient to walk around the sea and make a gang, so they called themselves the Xuanhu Gang. ”

"Hey!" Hu Hailong also laughed, "You are obviously a group of chivalrous warriors, but you want to lie to me and say that you are pirates!" me around! However, since you have brought down my gang, and your gang was inspired by me, you are now responsible for me! ”

"Whew!" Chen Tianye scolded with a smile, "We didn't sleep with you, what responsibility do we have to bear for you!" What do you mean, do you really want to come and join my gang and be a bare-rod? ”

"Yes, I want to join the Xuanhu Gang," Hu Hailong smiled and said, "However, it's really not particular about being a bare-knuckle minion, why don't you let me be a six-in-command?" That day, I made a bet with the master of the Qingda University, and the big boss said that if I lost, I would join the Xuanhu Gang as the sixth child. ”

"This ......"

Qingshi saw that Hu Hailong really wanted to change his evil and return to the right, and couldn't help but look at Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, both of whom knew what Qingshi meant, and both said that they had no opinion and let him make his own decisions, after all, he was the 'big boss'.

"Okay!" Qingshi thought for a while, immediately had a plan, and said, "I'll accept you as the sixth master." However, I want to give you a period of probation, and you will officially move in after the probationary period expires and the inspection is qualified. ”

"Probationary period?" Hu Hailong said strangely, "This is still a new concept!" There was a bit of loss between the words.

"Brother Hu!" Qingshi said, "This probationary period is also to give you a buffer time, you just left the Sea Dragon Gang, how to go in the future, you should think about it, don't make a hasty decision." Do you understand what I mean? ”

"I see!" Hu Hailong nodded, and said with a straight face, "Xie Qing is in charge!" ”

"You're still in charge!" Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian laughed together, "Call the boss!" ”

......

The Xuanwei was extremely fast, and soon left the fleet of the Mirage far behind. Two days later, the Xuanwei approached the Mirage.

Linghai City was built on the west coast of the island, the area is very wide, the population is large, the city wall is tall and majestic, the buildings in the city are beautiful, the roads are neat, and it is worthy of being the capital of one of the three large countries in the sea area of Wanshan.

The Xuanwei docked on a barren beach twenty miles away from Linghai City, and then the group walked to it and quietly entered the city.

The bustling Dongshi Street in Linghai City is crowded with people and shops. Located in the best part of this street, the Wanghai Building is as high as more than 20 zhang, there are 12 floors, the façade of the building is magnificent, the interior is exquisitely decorated, compared to the surrounding buildings that are less than 10 zhang high, the building can indeed see the sea more than nine floors, worthy of the name of Wanghai.

Wanghai Tower is a commercial complex with an upscale restaurant, a state-of-the-art hotel, a luxury casino, a Jumbo Pavilion, and of course, a number of other high-end entertainment.

In the afternoon, two high-rollers with extraordinary bearings came to the Treasure Pavilion. In front of him, a young man dressed in brocade clothes, tall, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and an old man next to him was also dressed in ayaluo, with a long beard and a graceful bearing. These two are Qingshi and Wu Bo, Qing Shi just changed his new clothes, but Wu Bo changed his appearance.

Qingshi and Wu Bo entered the Treasure Pavilion, and the two plump beauties hurriedly stepped forward to wait, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and serving tea and wine.

Qingshi only snorted a few times and barely coped, pretending to be arrogant, he already knew that the women of the Mirage Country were fat and beautiful, and they naturally had no interest in beautiful waiters. But for exotic curiosities, bluestone is very interested.

The decoration of the Treasure Pavilion is very luxurious and luxurious, but the area is not very large, after all, there are not many things that can be called treasures. Qingshi walked around, selected six items of interest, and bought them directly, spending more than two million high-grade spirit stones. The beautiful woman who accompanied the shopping was smiling, and her big beautiful eyes were squeezed into two slits by the fat face full of smiles.

Qingshi selected the goods, tasted tea and waited for packaging. A middle-aged man came up to Qingshi and bowed his hand and said, "This distinguished guest is invited, in Xia Dongbao, he is the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion." I have a VIP gold coin here for your guests, and when you come to the shop in the future, you can enjoy the highest discount with this coin! As he spoke, he handed over a gold coin.

Qingshi took it casually and said, "I already have a gold coin here, so let's see what kind of discount I can enjoy?" ”

Qingshi said, handing the gold coin given by Bu Ruofeng to Dongbao.

Dong Bao took it and looked at it, and said: "This VIP gold coin should be sent by Boss Qiu, and with this gold coin, it naturally enjoys the highest preferential treatment." As he spoke, he handed the gold coin back to the bluestone.

Dongbao's demeanor was obviously unaware of the peculiarities of this gold coin. Qingshi had no choice but to say: "Since it was sent by Boss Qiu, can you ask Boss Qiu to come out to meet?" ”

"Well...... this one," Dong Bao said with a sad face, "With the arrogance of the two bosses, our Boss Qiu will definitely be happy to make friends, but Boss Qiu is not in Wanghailou at the moment, so ......"

"Then where is Boss Qiu's treasure house?" Qingshi said, "When we first came to Guibaodi, we had a big business to cooperate with Boss Qiu. The person who gave me the gold coin once said that with this gold coin, Boss Qiu will not hesitate to see each other. In that case, it is not abrupt for us to go to the meeting! ”

"Well...... "Dong Bao still looked embarrassed.

"We made a special trip to visit," Qingshi said with a smile, "Could it be that there is less consumption, and Boss Qiu and Shopkeeper Dong can't look down on it?" ”

"No, no, no! Don't get me wrong! Dong Bao waved his hand again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a secret! Boss Qiu has not been seen for several days, and more than a dozen shopkeepers in our whole building are looking for him, all of them are anxious. ”

"Hmmm! Missing? ”

Qingshi and Wu Bo glanced at each other, and saw that what Dongbao said seemed to be true. The shopkeeper apologized again and again, and said that if there was urgent business, he could handle it, and if he couldn't handle it, he could also find their second-in-command, Mr. Lu, and finally invited them to stay in the guest room of the Wanghailou Hotel, saying that once Boss Qiu came back, he would immediately let him come to visit.

Qingshi secretly thought, Boss Qiu is afraid that he will never come back. So he had a perfunctory conversation with the shopkeeper of Dong, and then said goodbye.

Coming to the street, Qingshi asked, "Uncle Wu, do you think Boss Qiu is really missing?" ”

"It should be true!" Wu Bo said, "This winter shopkeeper shouldn't know Boss Qiu's true identity, and his expression doesn't look like a lie." ”

"Not bad!" "I feel the same way. ”

"Alas!" Wu Bo sighed and said, "It's easy to find this clue, but it's broken again." ”

"Not necessarily!" "Through this, we can also get some useful information." ”

"Master Qingda," Wu Bo said in surprise, "what do you mean?" ......”

"It's obvious from the timing," Qingshi said, "Boss Qiu disappeared after the princess returned to the palace. What does this mean? ”

"That's right!" Wu Bo said, "This shows that someone has revealed the news of the princess's return to the palace to Boss Qiu." The princess's return to the palace means that the interception operation failed, and Boss Qiu is likely to be exposed, so the employer let Boss Qiu hide. ”

"Yes!" Qingshi said, "But Boss Qiu may also have been killed." Uncle Wu, how many people know that the princess has returned to the palace? ”

"Apart from me," Wu Bo pondered, "there are only the King of Pingjun, Princess Huaiming, Prince Li, the chief of the inner guard Bacchus, the deputy chief of the inner palace Jin Tri, the deputy chief of the inner mansion Lu Zihao, and the two personal maids of the empress. ”

"Hmm!" Qingshi nodded and said, "Now there are only two princesses and King Heping by the empress's side, which shows that Princess Huaiyu absolutely believes in her two younger siblings." Among the other six people, who does Wu Bo think is the most suspicious? ”

"This ......," Wu Bo pondered as he walked around, and it took a long time before he shook his head and said, "Subjectively speaking, I don't think anyone is suspicious, but objectively speaking, everyone has the opportunity to pass on the news." ”

"Forget it!" Qingshi said, "I won't track down my employer for the time being. Let's go back to the palace as soon as possible, Uncle Wu, you said that the top priority is to save the empress! ”

"Yes!" Wu Bo said, "Her Majesty the Empress has been taking the Five Elements Chaos Fruit for nine days, and she should take the second one tomorrow. Now that the clue here is broken, and there may be a murderer hidden around the empress, I really don't feel at ease! I'll go back to the palace. How do you arrange it? ”

"Me?" Qingshi said, "Naturally, I will accompany you into the palace to see the princess and the empress." Don't forget, there are still three Five Elements Chaos Fruits on me! ”

On that day, Qingshi only asked them to bring three spirit fruits back, naturally because they were afraid that they would not admit it after they returned. Wu Bo and the princess naturally understood, but everyone tacitly understood it and didn't say anything.

"Well," said Wu Bo, "but the Empress is still ill, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to see the Empress!" Lingguo, since the masters of Qingda have already come to Linghai, why don't you give it to me to take it back? ”

"Not good!" Qingshi said with a smile, "You and I have made an agreement to ensure that the empress's life is worry-free before completing the commission, and now that the empress and princess are hiding murderers around them, I am as worried as you." Besides, in addition to the Holy Fire Fruit and Holy Water Essence you promised, I am also thinking about the Five Elements Chaos Fruit. I'm a fifth-level Great Dan Master, I have to personally check the empress's condition and determine how many Five Elements Chaos Fruit the empress needs to take, in case the empress only takes two, but you old fox said that all six were used, then wouldn't I be at a loss? As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Wu Bo.

"Hey!" Wu Bo said loudly, "What are you talking about, Master Qingda?" By the way, you are really a fifth-level Great Dan Master? ”

"Naturally," Qingshi said with a smile, "Level five, only high, not low, like a fake!" ”

"Really?" Wu Bo looked Qingshi up and down, and said, "The master of Qingda is really amazing!" Good! I'll take you into the palace, and I'll say it's a miracle doctor I hired!" The Five Elements Chaos Fruit can be handed over to the princess in person. ”
