If it was a few years ago, he would have turned his face and cut off the head of this dog official. But now that he has seen more, he knows that a momentary whims can't solve the problem, and it may make the problem worse, so he endured it.

At this time, the Xie Dao Chang in Xie Xun's mouth walked in from outside the door.

Lu Baishui was stunned when he saw this person. I heard Xie Xun say that this Xie Daochang was supervising the yamen to eliminate demons, and persuaded the governor of Jingtao Road to go to sea to find Xianshan...... I felt that at least it looked like a respected old Taoist.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him was a young man. Not very tall, but not too short either. The skin is a little dark, as if he has been working in the mountains a lot. The rest is thin eyebrows, thin eyes, nose and mouth. It doesn't look beautiful or ugly, nothing out of the ordinary. Wearing a green cloth robe, there was no ripple on his face......

Is that such a person?

Seeing that he was slightly surprised, Xie Xun smiled: "Brother Lu, don't underestimate Daochang Xie - he has some magical powers." With the presence of Xie Dao, you can be kept safe at sea. Don't worry about anything, demons, sea monsters...... Hahaha. ”

After laughing a few times, he immediately got up: "Okay." I've already explained the matter. Accompanying Daoist Xie were hundreds of our governor's personal soldiers. They all listened to the order of the Taoist Chief Xie and went to sea together - the Taoist Chief, I will take my leave. ”

He bowed to Xie Daochang.

The young Daoist thanked him and saluted him without smiling.

Xie Tuiguan didn't look at Lu Baishui anymore and walked downstairs.

So Lu Daxia looked at the young Daoist in front of him, and sighed in the end: "Thank you, Daoist." Come with me. ”

......

......

The governor of Donghai Road left a hundred personal soldiers to this Xie Daochang, which was commanded by a brigade commander.

Nominally escorting Daoist Xie to find Xianshan, he actually took over the two giant ships by force.

The two ships of Lu Baishui recruited nearly 400 seafarers. Almost all of the people who can run to sea at this time are outlaws, and they have some skills in their hands. Once they fight with these officers and men at sea, they may not be able to please them.

But he is now a tycoon on the stormy road, and he is no longer the unconcerned teenager he used to be. How many people depend on him for their lives and food. No matter how much he hated in his heart, he couldn't really make trouble at sea, so he could only obediently present the two giant ships.

Both Xie Tuiguan and Du Du took this point from him, knowing that he was helpless.

Therefore, after taking the ship where he and Li Yunxin were on the ship, he left Xie Daochang and a group of officers and soldiers, asked others to entertain them, and went straight to the third floor.

The third floor of the building ship is windy and unstable, cold in winter and hot in summer, which is not a good place. But Lu Baishui is not afraid of the cold, Li Yunxin ...... I don't seem to be afraid of the cold. The upper floor was divided into three rooms and arranged in a luxurious appearance for Lu Baishui, Li Yunxin, and his cousin Jiugongzi to live in.

The rest of the sailors and seamen, of higher rank, lived on the first and second floors according to custom. The rest live in the cabins below. There were nearly two hundred people on each ship, and there were two captains. One of these two people is Lu Baishui's former right-hand man, and the other is a trustworthy old acquaintance. They brought some of their relatives and friends with them, and established the rules and regulations and ranks, and the ship was in order.

Lu Baishui has always been at ease with others to do these - a person's energy is limited, and it is naturally impossible to be proficient in everything. If you choose the right person and then use the right person, you will save a lot of effort.

The ship was filled with people and goods—a number of islands were passed on the way to find the islands. Those islands are also under the jurisdiction of the Storm Road, and they are not counted as outsiders. In the past, the merchants also traded with these islanders a lot of times. Now some of the ships are going to the islands, and some are going there to do business. It's kind of buying a one-way ticket.

In fact, the recruitment of sailors is also about trading all the way, and then exploring the outside world, and maybe finding treasure.

On the other giant ship, it was all supplies - only more than 100 seafarers were responsible for the maintenance of the voyage. According to Li Yunxin's statement, this is a supply ship. The name of the ship also fits, it is called Haicang.

Li Yunxin got off the ship in the morning and stayed in his room.

When Lu Baishui broke in with an ugly face, he was leaning against the railing of the window, holding a piece of jade slip in his hand. But this piece of jade is transparent, and there is no text or pattern on it.

However, Lu Daxia didn't have the heart to be curious about this at this time. closed the door with his backhand, sat down at the table in the room with a snort, and patted: "It's too much to deceive!"

Li Yunxin leaned against the window. After a while, he glanced at him: "Who made Brother Lu angry like this." ”

"Hmph...... Hey...... Who?" he laughed angrily, "Aren't those two dog officers!"

Then, in a rare tone of anger, he said these things again.

Li Yunxin listened to him quietly, and then slowly put the jade slip into his sleeve. Laughing: "So...... It's funny. ”

"I used to know that there were emperors who didn't want to die, and they were looking for someone to find an immortal mountain for immortal medicine—the first time I heard of a governor doing this kind of thing. ”

Lu Baishui frowned: "Hmph...... Those dog officials, there is nothing that can't be done!"

Li Yunxin looked at him for a while. It wasn't until he saw this Lu Daxia that he was a little inexplicable, and said: "It seems that Brother Lu is really aiming for the rivers and lakes...... I don't know much about the things in the government and the opposition. ”

Lu Baishui blinked. It seemed that because of Li Yunxin's attitude, his anger calmed down a little: "What does Brother Li mean by this? I really don't like those things-"

"If you want me to say this, it's a rebellion. Li Yunxin put his hands behind his back, stood up and paced slowly in the room. It looks rational and wise, like a Sven person," Brother Lu thought. The emperor Lao'er is looking for elixir for the sake of longevity and long-term vision of imperial power. He's a governor looking for the elixir—why is he going to be a governor for the rest of his life??when the emperor dies?what a taboo thing—"

Speaking of this, there was a pause: "Oh...... I remember. No wonder - your Emperor of the East China Sea Kingdom is indeed dead. ”

- During the Battle of Yunshan, the Freemasonry Pseudo-Saints urgently recalled the wandering spirits who were stationed in various countries. But when those wandering spirits left, they were afraid that the emperors and nobles of the countries would commit suicide and be willing to increase their strength, so they also took them away. After that, these people were kept in Su Yusong's sleeves...... And in the midst of the fighting, they were swept away and killed.

In fact, no one cares when or where he died.

After all, they are just mortals.

The pinnacle of human emperor and power. At that time of the demon dispute, no one cared about it like dust. In that case, perhaps even the soul will be wiped out together.

But Lu Baishui seemed to be at a loss: "...... Where did Brother Li hear the news? The emperor is dead?"

Li Yunxin thought about it again, and then smiled: "Oh...... You don't know yet. The world is about to change. ”

——The battle of Yunshan has passed for more than 20 days. In this era of extremely underdeveloped information, it is true that not too many people will know about it. Or, even if it is discovered that the emperor and empress, along with a group of nobles, have to hide it - otherwise the dragons have no leader, and there will be chaos immediately.

It will take a few days, slowly take care of it, and have a way to deal with it, and then these things will be announced to the world.

But it must also be a different face.

Lu Baishui was shocked by the news. asked more, but Li Yunxin only said incomprehensibly: "Brother Lu will know when the time comes—I heard Brother Lu mention it before, and he once met a black sword hero?"

He originally came to complain to Li Yunxin that he was calculated by the dog official. But then Li Yunxin said some very scary news. Now, he suddenly jumped on the body of the "Black Knife Ying Hero" - this made Lu Baishui a little confused.

But in the end, after saying this for a while, the anger in my heart gradually subsided. He sighed, "Yes." A few years ago, when I was in Qingguo, I was in Izumo Mountain-even if I didn't know him. He runs a black fort and is also a hero. It's just that...... Acting in a weird way. ”

Li Yunxin remembered the appearance of the first time he saw Ying Ran-isn't it just "weird"? This Lu Baishui is really eclectic and makes friends with talents.

He smiled slightly: "Brother Lu doesn't know his recent situation?"

Lu Baishui was stunned for a moment, and slowly frowned: "Brother Li...... What do you know?"

After saying this, without waiting for Li Yunxin to speak, he said: "I heard some news about him a few days ago-it seems that he was in trouble in Yuguo. So he asked the martial arts people in the Central Plains to help him. But lately...... I don't believe it. Brother Li ......"

Li Yunxin nodded.

- The speed of information transmission in this era is really outrageously slow.

There are two more countries between Yu Guo and Donghai Guo, so Lu Baishui didn't know anything about Yu Guo in the past few months. He said in a low voice: "The Black Knife Ying hero you know is now King Rong." When he was in the Yu Kingdom, he was not in trouble, but in an act - he had swallowed half of the Yu Kingdom a month ago...... By now, the other half may have been swallowed up. ”

Lu Baishui blinked his eyes and looked at Li Yunxin suspiciously: "Brother Li, you ......"

Li Yunxin immediately smiled and said, "Don't think about it." I'm not a lobbyist for him. I've only met him a few times. I'm just emotional...... Brother Lu. ”

"Although you are unrestrained in the rivers and lakes, you are actually like a fish in a tank. When I didn't hit a wall, of course, I felt that the world was vast...... However, you will never be able to experience the feeling of the sea being wide and the sky is high and the birds are flying. For example, today - a pusher on the road can eat you to death, and you have no choice. Haven't you ever thought about going out of the tank?"

Lu Baishui frowned. After reciting the two sentences "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly" several times, he sighed: "Alas. Something like that has been said to me before. It's just that it doesn't go to heart. Today's ...... It's not the first time I've encountered it, but ...... I always feel ......"

"Something is wrong, is it. Li Yunxin said in a gentle tone, sounding "earnest and inducing", "The government governs the world, but it is difficult for the imperial power to go to the countryside, so it can only govern the countryside with a strong squire." People like you, even if the government didn't like it in the past, they wouldn't easily offend. ”

"As a result, today I suddenly cheated you 20,000 taels. Isn't it weird. ”

Lu Baishui's eyes finally lit up, and he slapped the table: "Yes! As soon as you say that, I will come back to my senses-I think something is wrong." Turns out something is wrong here!"

"Because the sheep are to be slaughtered, my friend. Li Yunxin slowly walked to the door of the house, opened a crack to look out, and closed it again. He said in a low voice, "Brother Lu, think about these things. For example, the emperor of your Eastern Sea Kingdom is really dead. ”

"Then the Governor of Storm Road learned of this. took advantage of the civil strife to have an objection - that's why he dared to ask people to go to sea to find the elixir of the fairy mountain. ”

"If he wants to rebel, he naturally has to recruit troops. But where does the money come from? ”

Lu Baishui was stunned and frowned: "Brother Li's words...... But Brother Li also said that it is still necessary for the strong squire to govern ......"

"But you won't need that. You are a coiled dragon lying in the shallow water of the stormy road. Li Yunxin looked at him seriously, and said every word very firmly, "You have too many friends - friends all over the world." It could be a help, or it could be a scourge. Rebellion is such a thing, it is to tie the head to the waistband of the trousers, who dares to take risks. I'm the Governor of Storm Road, so I'll take down a tycoon like you who is not too constrained first—to eliminate hidden dangers and to enrich military spending, the best of both worlds. Brother Lu, I'll talk about it first-"

Li Yunxin walked up to Lu Baishui, sat face to face with him, and looked into his eyes: "These officers and soldiers on the boat, as well as that Daoist Xie Chang, may seek an opportunity to kill you." Believe it or not. ”

Lu Baishui's face became serious. He stared at Li Yunxin directly, and looked at it for a while before saying, "You...... Think so?"

"I thought so. Li Yunxin nodded, "Brother Lu can also watch." I know that Daoist Xie. The road is narrow...... I met him again here. ”

Lu Baishui was slightly moved - it seemed that he wanted to say, "Why do you know everyone".

But I heard Li Yunxin sigh in a low voice: "This is fate-I told you that there was a sudden change in the family, but in fact, the father and mother were separated, precisely because of the relationship between this person." He looked like a young man, but in fact...... Brother Lu, never look at him as a young man. This man is insidious and cunning, and he is very good at disguise. ”

"I suspect that he has also come to the East China Sea and is going to sea...... It's to find a mother. ”

Lu Baishui's eyes widened: "So?!"

"Huh...... It's really hard to chase. The heroic man stood up, paced a few steps in the room, and turned his face to look at Li Yunxin, "Brother Li, if you can trust me, tell me - why did he want to find Lingtang?"

The so-called impatience for justice and righteousness is nothing more than - a quarter of an hour ago, he was angry because of the grievances he had suffered, and when he heard about this kind of thing, he became indignant about what happened to Li Yunxin. Walking the rivers and lakes, the word righteousness is the highest. has ruined others and is still chasing after them...... It's a taboo!

Li Yunxin waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Lu, you are a good person." But this kind of thing...... You'd better not get involved. ”

"You must have seen that...... I'm not practicing pure martial arts. Daoist Xie is not an ordinary person. He's going to kill you by the way, and if you happen to escape, he won't bother to chase you. But if you get involved in something between me and him...... I'm just afraid you really can't get out. ”

Lu Baishui looked at him. After a while, he said, "Are you ...... Cultivator?"
