Chapter 183: Chasing the Murderer
On the flying boat, Lu Chaohe waited patiently for a while.
Although I know that with my sister's strength, it should be fine, but when I am a brother, I will inevitably have some worries.
After a while, a figure stepping on a flying sword appeared on the side of the flying boat, and after seeing it with his own eyes, Chao He was relieved.
"Ming Dynasty's great-grandmother?" Wei Wen was a little surprised.
Chao He waved his hand, signaled that he didn't need to say anything, and welcomed Lu Mingchao in.
After confirming that his sister was in good health and uninjured, his focus was naturally on the scepter she was holding.
The sea blue scepter is no longer in the state of activation, but the dense blue light is still emitting softly.
"What is this?"
"Don't ask, come back to it. ”
Lu Chaohe didn't ask, and it was not easy for others to ask what the origin of the scepter in Ming Chao's hand was.
At this time, a foundation building monk from the Gongsun family came over, and before he could ask, Lu Chaohe said: "This is my sister Lu Mingchao, our Lu family's Qiming monk. ”
As soon as he heard that it was Monk Qiming, the man hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Senior Lu...... However, when I got on the boat before, I didn't seem to ......."
I didn't say anything, but everyone knew what I was trying to ask.
Lu Chaohe said: "Our Lu family ran this trade route for the first time, and we were worried that there would be problems on the road, so Ming Chao secretly got on the boat and came with us." ”
"I see. "It's a bit out of order, but where is the time to worry about these now? Without Lu Mingchao, in the previous attack of the East China Sea sharks, they would never have been able to run away like now, almost at no cost.
After a while, Gongsun Quan, as the person in charge of the flying boat, also came to meet with Lu Mingchao.
The three of Ming Chao, Chaohe, and Gongsun Quan got together to discuss the previous attack.
Gongsun Quan was very puzzled, his Gongsun clan drove the flying boat back and forth between Selangor and Feiyun Prefecture, it was not once or twice. When there is a lot of travel, you even have to run twice a year, and if you have a long interval, you can run once in three or four years. It's not that they don't know that there are sharks in this area, but attacking the flying boat?
The Gongsun clan has dealt with the shark people, although the relationship is basically hostile, but in fact, there are not many conflicts, let alone large-scale ones. Liao County has a coastline, and sharks occasionally land to attack or attack fishing boats.
These targets are basically mortals, as the protector of Liao County, of course, the Gongsun clan has fought against the shark people, and even for a while, the shark people are too frequent to the north of the coastline, so that the Gongsun clan has held a large-scale clean-up operation.
But it should be noted that whether it is the Gongsun clan or the human monks of Donghai County, the eradication of shark people is basically based on defense. It was difficult for the monks to enter the depths of the sea to find the sharks' lair and wipe them out once and for all. Most of their clean-up is limited to the coastline and coastal areas, and the deep-sea part is beyond the reach of the whip.
In this case, they really lack experience in fighting sharks at sea, and even have no plan for shark attacks.
It's not like something that sharks can do on their own.
"Could it be the Husheng Firm?" Lu Mingchao asked.
The Lu family has developed extremely rapidly over the years, but the interests and resources of this world are limited, and the better they develop, the more they need to possess more interests. These interests do not appear in a vacuum, and then someone will naturally be squeezed out. For example, if the Zhao family is not destroyed, it is impossible for the Lu family to fully control Anling, which is the benefit of the Zhao family.
For another example, the opening of a trade route to Selangor is also clearly in conflict with Husheng Trading Company.
Thinking about the time of this shark attack and thinking about it on the head of Husheng Commercial Bank, it is not a big problem.
It's just that Gongsun Quan is very cautious about the judgment of the two monks of the Lu family.
The Gongsun family didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of infighting in Feiyun Prefecture - provided they didn't mess with them.
If this shark attack was indeed committed by Husheng Trading House, then the Gongsun clan would inevitably have to go to Qingfeng Gate to ask for an explanation.
However, before there was evidence, Gongsun Quan didn't want to easily confirm this matter.
"I can only think that there should be someone behind this matter, who is it...... Gotta look into it. But now is not the time, the navigation formation has been repaired, and our top priority is to try to complete this journey as much as possible. I'll talk about the investigation of the truth later. ”
The two brothers and sisters of the Lu family glanced at each other, and Chaohe said: "That's it, Ming Chao doesn't have any other opinions, right?"
"No...... Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Quan hurriedly asked, for fear that something would happen again.
"Nothing. Lu Mingchao's attitude calmed down again, but she didn't sit down again, "I remember that I still have some things to do, you fly north on your own, and I'll catch up when I'm done." ”
The remaining two wanted to ask, but Lu Mingchao didn't give them a chance to ask, so he immediately walked out of the house, summoned the Cloud Stepping Flying Sword, and drove south.
......
Ming Chao left in such a hurry because of Lu Qing's message.
Before, before the shark man battle above the sea was over, Lu Qing had already left this area.
After he saw Lu Mingchao behead the leader of the shark man and seize the Sea Blue Scepter, he knew that there would be no suspense in this battle, and there was no need for him to keep it anymore.
The experienced Lu Qing knew that this matter was unlikely to be an independent incident, and the sharks, who rarely had a record of taking the initiative to attack a large flying boat, went crazy to attack this Gongsun flying boat, and there must be a reason.
What's more, a battle of a slight scale like this has always been regarded as a crusade. In fact, when Lu Qing stayed at home, he could hear the system's message when he had nothing to do, saying that where the family was, he had solved another crusade incident, ranging from destroying some bandits and thieves to killing a group of entrenched monsters, although most of them were one-star crusades, but they could always bring him some karmic income.
And after this incident was over, the flying boat started to move, and it was not considered to have completed the crusade.
Because you didn't kill all the sharks? However, Lu Qing is more inclined to believe that the system has determined that this matter has not been completely resolved.
As a result, his consciousness body flew outward, trying to open his senses as much as possible.
As a result, he actually caught someone—two human monks, and one of them had a horn.
This horn, Lu Qing inexplicably felt a little familiar.
He was sure he hadn't seen it before, and the familiarity seemed to have something to do with the aquamarine scepter he had seen before.
