Chapter 595: Strange Moves
Murong Fu saw her appearance of being a dusty man, and couldn't help but secretly regret that she should have accompanied Xiao Zhao last night, and her face was also distressed, "You stupid girl, why are you tired all night, no matter how important Xia Ke Island is, it is not as important as my Xiao Zhao, if this makes you tired, where will I go to find Xiao Zhao." ”
Although Murong Fu said such love words, every time he heard him say it, Xiao Zhao was still moved, but his face was like he wanted to say something, and even a thick guilt flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Murong Fu was slightly stunned and asked.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing!" Xiao Zhao hurriedly hid the guilt in his eyes, "Maybe I'm a little tired." ”
"This girl actually has her own little secret. Murong Fu muttered secretly in his heart, his face was impassive, and he said softly, "Then you go and rest for a while, let's leave at noon." ”
After Xiao Zhao fell asleep, Murong Fu immediately dodged out and came to Luoying Pavilion.
Early in the morning, there were no guests in the restaurant, but the shopkeeper was already waiting at the counter, and when he saw Murong Fu coming in, his face was slightly happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
As soon as Murong Fu saw him, his face sank slightly, "As the only steward of the Crystal Palace within a radius of a hundred miles, you don't even know such a big thing as welcoming guests on Xia Ke Island?"
"This ......" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground as soon as his knees became weak, "Wronged, son!"
"Hmph!" Murong Fu snorted coldly, if it weren't for this person's fart yesterday that made him extremely comfortable, he would have been killed with one palm, and he also asked coldly at the moment, "You can tell me what grievances you can have." ”
The shopkeeper's body trembled like chaff, but his mouth said quickly, "Regarding the matter of Xia Ke Island, about half a month ago, Xiao Yi received a total of three messages, one of which came from the chief helmsman of Qianzhong Road, one from the helmsman of Guangzhou Mansion, and the last one was a threat from an unknown source, and they all wanted Xiao not to spy on Xia Ke Island,"
"Oh?" Murong Fu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Two orders, one threat?"
"Yes!" Seeing that Murong Fu's tone was a little relaxed, the shopkeeper relaxed a little and explained, "Some time ago, there were indeed many martial arts people in the Houjian Gathering, many of whom were quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and the little one guessed that the people from Xia Ke Island must have boarded the ship near here, but they didn't know the specific information, and they didn't dare to inquire without permission. ”
"...... like this" Murong Fu muttered, his face changed uncertainly, and he was silent for a long time.
Under the headquarters of the Crystal Palace, according to the division of the fifteen administrative regions of the Tang Dynasty, fifteen chief helmsmen were set up, respectively, under the helmsman, according to the current state and government, a helmsman was set up, responsible for the summary of the news of the subordinate areas, and passed to the chief helmsman by category, and finally transmitted back to the swallow dock, as for the helmsman, it was the steward.
In addition, the Crystal Palace is divided into two palaces, the inner palace is the real core of the Crystal Palace, and its members are all composed of elites who have been secretly cultivated by the Murong family over the years, and the disciples of the outer palace are a little uneven, most of them are local snakes, unemployed vagrants, and even a giant, and their importance cannot be underestimated.
The fifteen chief helmsmen and helmsmen mentioned earlier are all served by inner palace disciples, and most of the stewards below the helmsman are locally selected outer palace disciples.
However, don't look at the simple structure of the Crystal Palace, but the layout of the "Kaiyuan Fifteen Roads" is so large that it almost encompasses the entire world, and Murong Fu's ambition can be seen.
What puzzled Murong Fu at this moment was why the chief helmsman of Qianzhong Dao and the helmsman of Guangzhou Mansion would give such an order, which coincided with the unknown threat, and as for that threat, except for Xia Ke Island, he didn't think about it.
"Childe, the little one is really wronged. Seeing that Murong Fu was silent, the shopkeeper said that he didn't trust himself, and said aggrievedly.
"That's it, since it's Shangfeng's order, I can't blame you for this matter," Murong Fu waved his hand, his face softened slightly, "But I'm about to go to sea today, and I have a few things to tell you." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly kowtowed, "Childe, please say, the little one will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not hesitate." ”
"I don't need you to go to the soup," Murong Fu glared at him angrily, and said, "From now on, you prepare a big ship that can go to sea, and stand by at any time, if two months have passed and I haven't come back, you will mobilize manpower and go to sea to search, and at the same time pass the letter to the headquarters of the Crystal Palace, you don't have to wait for me any longer, the secret word of the message is ......"
Murong Fu whispered in the shopkeeper's ear for a while, the shopkeeper Wei Wei nodded, but the look on his face changed again and again, he had a feeling that something big was coming, and he was almost out of breath.
"As long as you do these things well, becoming an inner palace disciple is just around the corner. After Murong Fu finished speaking, he added with a little encouragement.
When the shopkeeper boarded, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, you must know that the treatment of the disciples of the inner palace and the disciples of the outer palace is very different, not to mention anything else, it is the mastery of the high and high gods, he can also get a glimpse of one or two, although he himself is old, he may not be able to learn any martial arts, but his juniors can.
As noon approached, Murong Fu took Xiao Zhao to the secret pier where Xia Ke Island welcomed guests on time. When I arrived at the mountain pass, I found that Zhao Min was already waiting here.
Dressed in gray linen clothes, with a bun on his head, a burden on his shoulders, and a long sword in his hand, he was dressed as a poor scholar.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "It's really difficult for you, in fact, you don't have to be so wronged yourself, we are going to be guests, not thieves." ”
"Phew, it's hard to hear!" Zhao Min took a sip, although Murong Fu's words were unintentional, but to her, it was a little harsh, and she immediately raised her sleeved robe, "This girl rose from the grassland, what kind of hardship has not been eaten, unlike some people, pampered, brocade clothes and jade food, but always do some things that ruffians can only do." ”
Murong Fu was not angry, his eyes swept around, and he saw a big ship parked on the dock not far away, with a small head and a pointed bottom, more than ten zhang long, more than three zhang high, and two zhang wide.
"It's a big boat. Murong Fu looked at the big ship in front of him in surprise.
Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Murong Fu with disdain, with a look of "You really haven't seen the world", that is, Xiao Zhao also looked at Murong Fu with a slightly strange look.
"I ...... Am I not right?" Murong Fu was a little unnatural by the second daughter, and asked.
"You're still a Song person. Zhao Min sneered, "The Great Song Dynasty can't do anything else, but if you talk about strange and obscene tricks, you are the most powerful in the Great Song Dynasty, and this shipbuilding is no exception." ”
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhao, only to see Xiao Zhao nodding and saying, "Yes, Gongzi, the official ships of the Great Song Dynasty are much longer than this, I am afraid that there are more than thirty zhang long, and this is just a passenger ship that ordinary people can use." ”
Hearing the words of the second daughter, Murong Fu's face flushed slightly, and he coughed dryly, "I naturally know this, I just wonder where Xiao Zhao found such a big ship." ”
However, his explanation was obviously a little pale and weak, and Zhao Min would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog, and said with disdain, "If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, what kind of garlic are you." ”
Murong replied with a smile, and was about to defend a few words, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly turned to a small hill on the right side of the dock, and he shouted, "Who's there, get out!"
Zhao Mindeng's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head silently.
After a while, a crisp and hearty laugh rang out, "Hahaha, Murong Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is it still angry!"
Immediately, Pasipa in a golden monk's robe walked out, with that faint smile on his face, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable after seeing it, as if all troubles had disappeared.
Murong Fu's face sank, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Min, the meaning was self-evident.
Zhao Min didn't know why Ba Sipa, who had clearly said that he would be far behind him, suddenly appeared and wanted to explain a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
"You don't have to embarrass the little county lord!" said with a smile, "It's this seat that has itchy hands and came with me without permission." ”
"Hehe, good, very good!" Murong Fu showed a sneer on his face, he had always regarded it as a shame when he lost at the hands of Ba Si Pa last time, and today he finally had the opportunity to pull out this thorn.
But when Ba Sipa saw him like this, he frowned slightly, and said meaningfully, "Xiaoyou's heart for gain and loss is too heavy, and the heart for competitiveness is too strong. ”
Murong Fu shook his head, "Thank you for the master's advice, but this son is still young, if he doesn't show his edge, what's the point of walking the rivers and lakes?"
Paspa's face was peaceful, his right hand was slowly raised, his thumb and middle finger were lightly touched, and he was silent.
Everyone looked inexplicable, but the next moment, a strange scene appeared, only to see a touch of golden light slowly lit up on the tip of the right finger of Ba Sipa, the golden light was very soft, after a slight change, it turned into a flower, its shape was full, like a full moon, surrounded by golden light, like an auspicious atmosphere.
Murong was taken aback when he re-ascended, this kind of internal force transformation kung fu, but he had never heard of it, and immediately the Northern Shen Divine Skill was running to the extreme, and the true yuan of his body was ready to go, and he was on guard.
It's just that to his surprise, Ba Si Pa didn't say a word, just holding the illusory strange flower, and there was no sign of any move.
Just when he was a little impatient, Xiao Zhao's beautiful voice sounded, "The World Venerable was at the Lingshan Meeting, showing the crowd with flowers, and everyone was silent, and Venerable Weijiaye smiled. This is the inheritance of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains, and the master practiced the method of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions, when did he switch to Zen Buddhism?
