Chapter 592: Passing by
"You mean, someone has already rushed to Xia Ke Island?" Murong Fu heard the word "Xia Ke Island", slapped his head suddenly, and carefully counted the date, only then did he remember that there was only more than a month left until the eighth day of the lunar month.
When everyone heard the news of Xia Ke Island, they couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn, and they were obviously quite afraid of the rumors of Xia Ke Island.
Xiao Zhao nodded, and then added in a low voice, "Childe, the big ship on Xia Ke Island to welcome the martial arts people set off as early as the day before yesterday!"
"Smack!" Murong Fu slapped his hand on the table, his face was instantly annoyed, he had coveted the Taixuan Sutra of Xia Ke Island for a long time, but he didn't expect it to pass by like this.
Everyone looked at each other when they landed, puzzled, didn't they have to go to Xia Ke Island, shouldn't it be a happy event?
"Why is Childe like this?" asked Ren Xing, puzzled.
"Sir doesn't know, I took over the knight order of Xia Ke Island before. Murong Fu said vaguely.
"It's not good!" Ren Xing's face changed drastically, and he said, "I'm afraid the Murong family is in trouble!"
"Huh?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head to look at me suspiciously.
Ren Wuxing's expression was slightly restricted, and he explained, "In the past few decades, there have been many people who have received the knight's order but deliberately avoided those who did not go to the knight's island, but within a month, these people's sects were either wiped out or disappeared, and none of them were spared. ”
Murong Fu shook his head, but he was silent, how could he be afraid of this, with the strength of the Murong family now, unless hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, it would be impossible to be wiped out.
"Childe, if we wait a little longer, there may be a ship heading to Xia Ke Island, I see that many martial arts people have not arrived yet. Xiao Zhao suddenly said something inexplicable, and among the people present, she knew Murong Fu the best.
Murong Fu's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled, "Hmph, the people from this Xia Ke Island don't wait for me, can't I go by myself?"
As soon as these words came out, all the women changed color, and Mei Jian hesitated slightly before opening his mouth to persuade, "Childe, even grandma once said that Xia Ke Island is unfathomable, let's not mess with it or not." ”
"yes, I don't know what the mystery of that ghost island is, every time I go, I don't come back. Blue Phoenix said.
Even if I let me do it, he frowned and said, "You are still young, and there is a great future waiting for you, so you can't take such a risk." ”
He had seen too many peerless geniuses pretentious, trying to go to Xia Ke Island to find out, but in the end he never came back.
Murong Fu shook his head and smiled, and said indifferently, "It's okay, don't worry, Xia Ke Island is not a Longtan Tiger's Den, maybe there will be any benefit if I go." ”
"This ......" Ren Xing's face was slightly suffocated, and then he said with a straight face, "With all due respect, no matter how high the son's martial arts are, he is only a flesh and blood body, and in this world, there are still countless ways to put the son to death, and please consider it carefully and take back his life." ”
Murong Fu couldn't help but glance at Ren Wu Xing in surprise, if it was said that who was most looking forward to his death, Ren Wu Xing was second to none, I didn't expect him to say such sincere words.
But seeing the fear in his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed on Murong Fu's face, it turned out that he was afraid that he would pull him into the water, and immediately smiled, "Sir, don't worry, I am the only one to go to Xia Ke Island this time, and you will all stay in the Central Plains." ”
Ren Wuxing's face was slightly unnatural, and he was about to open his mouth to explain a few words, but the four sword maids were the first to speak, "Whether Gongzi goes up the Sword Mountain or goes down to the Sea of Fire, we will live and die together, please don't leave us!"
Blue Phoenix opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, but her face was resolute, obviously she had to follow Murong Fu.
As for Xiao Zhao, he moved his body to Murong Fu's side, and the meaning was self-evident.
This scene is even more embarrassing to see if you let it go.
"Okay!" Murong Fu shook his head and refused, "This time I went to Xia Ke Island, which is extraordinary, and if you go, you might drag me down." ”
At this time, there was only one person at Murong Fu in the hall, and he didn't shy away from anything.
The four sword maids looked solemn, and were about to move out of Tianshan Tong's grandmother, but Murong Fu's face sank, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, my words are not good?"
The four women's faces changed, and they hurriedly said that they didn't dare.
"Shopkeeper," Murong Fu shouted suddenly.
The shopkeeper in the gray-step robe immediately hurriedly ran over, stood still behind Murong Fu, and saluted respectfully, "The little one is seeing the son." ”
Murong Fu nodded "um", turned around and glanced at the shopkeeper, and said approvingly, "It's a little eyesight that can recognize me." ”
"Thanks to the son's praise," replied the shopkeeper, who was thin and short, with two moustaches, flattered, "and the little one asked someone to ask for a portrait of the son, for the family to admire from time to time, how could he not recognize it, but the son did not speak before, and the little one did not dare to come forward to recognize him." ”
Although Murong Fu knew that he was patting on the back, he was extremely comfortable in his heart, and immediately praised a few more words, although the shopkeeper didn't even dare to say it, but the joy on the tips of his eyebrows was fully revealed, and his eyes were about to squint.
"Okay, I have a few questions for you. Murong Fu changed his words and asked.
"Childe, excuse me. ”
"Is there a port near this town, how far is it?"
The shopkeeper said after a little hesitation, "If you talk about the port, there is one thirty miles south of the town, but this port can't go to the sea, if the son wants to go to sea, he must go to Lijiazhuang, eighty miles away, where there are often fishermen who go to sea to fish, but there is a small port, more than enough to go to sea." ”
The shopkeeper had been listening attentively to the conversation of Murong Fu and the others before, and knowing the reason why he was asking about the port, he explained all the information about the port in one go.
Murong Fu frowned slightly, and glanced at Xiao Zhao with some confusion, Xiao Zhao also said that the ship of Xia Ke Island had only departed from here the day before yesterday, how could there be no port?
However, this thought was only fleeting, and Murong Fu asked again, "Who is the helmsman in this area, and can you contact him?"
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned and reacted, and immediately nodded, "Yes, he lives in the town, so I'll go and invite him over?"
Murong Fu shook his head, and after a long period of silence, he ordered, "No need, you go with my token and let him do a few things for me." ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, knowing that Murong Fu was promoting him in disguise, so he immediately knelt on his knees and expressed his loyalty again.
Only then did Murong Fu speak, "You asked him to transfer thirty clever disciples, twenty of them to protect this Mr. Ren to the north, as for the specific position, Mr. Ren will tell them, and afterwards they will stay where they are and assist Mr. Ren, and the remaining ten will protect these young ladies as they go to Swallow Dock."
Ren Wuxing's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say anything, but Mei Jian's four girls had a look of wanting to say and stopping.
Murong Fu didn't care what everyone thought in their hearts, just explained some details on the road, and finally asked the shopkeeper to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Mei Jian alone, asking her to bring it to Murong Xue.
After doing all this, the shopkeeper took everyone out of the restaurant, although the women were reluctant in their hearts, but Murong Fu's face was unprecedentedly serious, and they didn't dare to disobey too much, but Xiao Zhao stayed.
Murong Fu knew that Xiao Zhao must have something to tell him, and there were only two people left in the hall at this moment, Xiao Zhao somehow, his little head hung low, his fingers twisted, and he seemed quite uneasy.
Murong Fu shook his head amusedly, and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the ship on Xia Ke Island? And you suddenly came here from the Tianshan Mountains, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
"Childe......" Xiao Zhao called in a low voice, and when he looked up again, the corners of his eyes were already covered with tears, "Do you believe Xiao Zhao?"
Murong Fu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I believe." ”
"There is indeed a hidden harbor nearby, I don't know why the shopkeeper doesn't know, but the people of the Heavenly Warrior Island did set off from there, and I will never be mistaken. Xiao Zhao said with a slight cry.
Murong Fu saw her pear blossoms and rain, Chu Chu was pitiful, and couldn't help but feel pity, and smiled, "What's the big deal, you can take me to see it later, why are you crying." ”
"Childe, you obviously said that you would never leave me again, but now you ...... again" Xiao Zhao became more and more sad the more he spoke, and tears lingered.
"Okay, okay, just take you there!" Murong Fu shook his head helplessly, although he was a little strange in his heart about Xiao Zhao's abnormality today, but she was like this, but it was not good for her to ask anything more.
Then Murong Fu, under the leadership of Xiao Zhao, came to a place more than ten miles west of the town, to Murong Fu's surprise, there is indeed a small harbor here, and there are traces of ships anchoring around, but this port is located in a mountain pass, which is quite hidden, not to mention, ordinary people may not be able to board the ship.
Raising his eyes and looking around, Murong Fu's brows furrowed tightly, "Xiao Zhao, we can't go to sea without a boat?"
And he also remembered one thing, that is, the location of Xia Ke Island is mysterious and abnormal, and no one even knows the approximate location, this sea is a situation where the sky should not be and the earth is not spiritual, if no one leads the way, the possibility of finding Xia Ke Island is very small.
"Childe, this Xiao Zhao has already inquired about you, there is a rich family in the thirty or so miles, and his family has a big ship to go to sea. Xiao Zhao said at the right time.
After Murong Fu listened, he was silent, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Then it's up to you to go to Zhang Luo." ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Zhao replied lightly, and then added, "There are also materials and food, charts, boatmen, etc. needed to go to sea, and after they are ready, I am afraid it will take a day or two." ”
"A day or two, a day or two. Murong Fu replied a little absent-mindedly.
The two returned to Hou Jianji, but they did not go back to the restaurant, but reopened an inn and stayed, Xiao Zhao didn't have time to rest, so he hurriedly ran out.
"What can I do about this!" Murong Fu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, although he was not afraid of the power of Xia Ke Island, but now he couldn't even go up to Xia Ke Island, but the Taixuan Sutra passed by like this, and he was very unwilling, because he knew that if he missed this time, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to get involved in the Taixuan Sutra again.
