Chapter 34: Three Flying Ships
The explosion of the flying boat was much louder than that of Shicai's murderous overachievers, and many monks around followed the sound, standing from afar and watching the flying boat gradually burn to ashes in the raging fire.
The group of Hidden Sword Gate had already stood near the fire, but they could only stand there helplessly watching the flying boat burn.
The elites of the Hidden Sword Gate were already a little panicked at this time, only Lao Zheng was still calm, and it was not until the flames were about to die that he spoke: "Go and find out if there are any clues left at the scene, and see who is planning our Hidden Sword Gate." ”
Several Hidden Sword Sect monks were fully defended, and they looked around near the wreckage of the flying boat, but everyone knew that this was just a little bit of a human being.
Looking at the monks of the Hidden Sword Gate entangled here, and the surrounding people were embarrassed, once upon a time, even a behemoth like the Hidden Sword Gate dared to provoke?
Qian Yang's face was cloudy, and several possibilities were tumbling in his mind, but he couldn't come up with a conclusion.
The monks who had gone to investigate soon returned, all of them disgraced, but found nothing.
At this point, it is useless to say more. Lao Zheng sighed and began to comfort everyone: "It's just a flying boat, the loss is not big, and there are no casualties, you don't have to worry too much." ”
At this time, Luo Yongxi walked over with a dark face and asked, "How are we going back?"
Lao Zheng was a little embarrassed, thought for a moment and replied, "Why don't we contact the sect and ask them to send another flying boat over?"
Wu Qingshui shook his head: "How long do you have to wait?"
"Three or two months?" Lao Zheng replied with little confidence.
Wu Qingshui frowned: "That's not good, those people who burned our flying boat must be trying to trip us up in the Crescent Moon Continent, it's really unsafe here." ”
"What should I do then?" said Lao Zheng smiled bitterly.
Wu Qingshui was silent for a moment and said, "Find a way to leave." ”
Lao Zheng's face was full of hesitation, and then he turned his head to Luo Yongxi and asked, "What does Senior Brother Luo think?"
Luo Yongxi's face stiffened, and he looked at Qian Yang: "What did Senior Brother Qian say?"
Qian Yang swept the people in front of him in turn, and shook his head: "You can arrange it, I have no opinion." ”
Lao Zheng rubbed his face vigorously, looked up and looked around, and easily saw the large and small flying boats docked everywhere.
"Why don't I try it and see if I can find someone willing to take us back to Zhongzhou?"
Wu Qingshui's face froze: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not safe, right?"
"Then I'm going to buy a flying boat?" Lao Zheng pouted.
Wu Qingshui nodded stupidly: "This is good, this is good!"
Lao Zheng glared at him fiercely: "Who do you think will sell the flying boat to us and then leave himself here." ”
"Uh......" Wu Qingshui scratched his head: "We can buy other people's flying boats, and then take them back to Zhongzhou by the way." ”
Lao Zheng looked at him like he was looking at a fool: "Is there any difference in safety between that and us taking someone else's flying boat?"
"This ...... Why don't you think about it in the long run!" Wu Qingshui confessed.
Qian Yang didn't say a word, but he could see it now, these people in the Hidden Sword Sect, the highest position was Wu Qingshui, and the highest status was Luo Yongxi.
But Wu Qingshui's mind is full of water, Luo Yongxi's mind is full of stones, and the one who can really make up his mind has to be Lao Zheng!
Sure enough, Lao Zheng pondered for a while and then made arrangements: "Come and walk around the neighborhood with two people, see if you can find a safe way to leave, and the others stay here, don't disperse, be careful." ”
No one raised any objections, and soon everyone found an open space not far from the wreckage of the flying boat to sit together, and Luo Yongxi was even more close to Qian Yang's side, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
Lao Zheng took two monks and began to talk to people around the Crescent Continent.
The road in the West Wilderness is treacherous, and most of the flying boats here have to carry an old driver who is familiar with the road conditions, and over time, these old drivers will have some intersections with each other.
Lao Zheng didn't brag, "the road is familiar with the head" is definitely not an empty phrase. At this time, on the Crescent Moon Continent, there are really a lot of people who often run to the Western Wilderness, and Lao Zheng and many of them can talk.
slipped down in a circle, and Lao Zheng had already understood the situation on the Crescent Moon Continent at this time.
Back at the place where everyone gathered, Lao Zheng first took out a bucket of water and poured it on himself, then found a place to sit down and reported the situation to everyone one by one.
According to Lao Zheng, at this time, there were a total of about fifty flying boats docked on the Crescent Moon Continent, of different sizes and belongings, and about half of them planned to fly to Zhongzhou.
Among the more than 20 flying boats, small and medium-sized ones account for most of them, and the number of people that can be carried is extremely limited, and there are only three large flying boats.
With the current situation of the people in the Hidden Sword Gate, even if they wanted to leave on other people's flying boats, they would definitely not be able to disperse, so there were only those three large flying boats to choose from.
And the three large flying boats, one belongs to the Zhuyufang, one belongs to the Sihefang, and the other ...... It belongs to the Duobao Chamber of Commerce.
When he heard these four words of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce, Yang Gong's face changed, and even if he adjusted it several times, he couldn't successfully restore it to its original color.
Wu Qingshui could naturally imagine Yang Gong's embarrassment, so he asked, "Forget about the Duobao Chamber of Commerce, what is the situation between the Zhuyu Fang and the Sihe Fang?"
Yang Gong said with a smile: "Zhuyufang is a chamber of commerce that does jewelry business, both in terms of design ability and manufacturing ability, it is very famous, and the various jewelry refined are highly sought after by female cultivators, and it can be regarded as a high-end brand in the entire Tianyuan Continent." ”
Wu Qingshui shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Yang Gong deliberately showed a mocking look: "I know that you, an old bachelor, have never heard of Zhuyufang!"
"What do you mean that I haven't heard of this old bachelor, you ask how many people here have heard of the Jewel and Jade Workshop?" Wu Qingshui stopped doing it and opened his mouth to refute.
Who knew that everyone didn't sell his face at all, and they all said that the man who had never heard of Zhuyufang was not a qualified man.
Wu Qingshui's face turned red, and he grabbed Qian Yang next to him: "Did you say you have heard of this Jewel Jade Workshop?"
Qian Yang's face was embarrassed: "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"Of course it's honest!" Wu Qingshui roared.
Qian Yang lowered his head: "You also know that my cultivation days are short......"
"Look at it, look at it......" Wu Qingshui can be regarded as having found a savior: "Isn't there one who hasn't heard of Zhuyufang?"
"You let me finish. Qian Yang glanced at him.
"Uh...... You said. Wu Qingshui had an ominous premonition.
Qian Yang continued: "Although my cultivation days are short, when I first went down the mountain, I accompanied a senior sister to buy a necklace produced in the Pearl Jade Workshop. ”
"Oh!"
Wu Qingshui was embarrassed on the spot, and said in his heart that a person like Qian Yang who is crooked and inferior can accompany his senior sister to buy a necklace, why does no one pay attention to me, who is tall and mighty?
After Qian Yang's interruption, most of the originally gloomy atmosphere was swept away. Lao Zheng raised his eyebrows at Qian Yang, his eyes were full of approval.
After everyone made fun of Wu Qingshui for a while, Lao Zheng Cai continued: "In contrast, Sihefang is a mass chamber of commerce that takes the low-end route. They are engaged in a grocery business, and their stalls are very open, and they have dabbled in various types of goods, and their branches have opened almost every corner of the Tian Yuan Continent. ”
"I've heard of the Quadrangle!" Wu Qingshui was busy finding his face.
"Hmm. Lao Zheng nodded: "The positioning of the quadrangle is very compatible with Elder Wu's consumption concept. ”
After another burst of laughter, Wu Qingshui simply shrank his head into the neckline and said no more.
Lao Zheng continued: "Zhuyufang came to Xihuang to collect raw materials for making jewelry, and at this time the materials have been collected and are preparing to return to Zhongzhou. Because the raw materials they transported were very valuable, the defense force on the flying boat of Zhuyufang was quite strong, and the strength on paper should be equal to that of our people. ”
"What about the Sihefang?" asked Qian Yang.
Lao Zheng smiled: "The flying boat of Sihefang is here to deliver goods to the branches in the Western Wilderness, and the goods have been delivered at this time, and they are waiting to return the same way." ”
"What is the strength of the personnel on board?" asked Qian Yang.
Lao Zheng said: "The value of the goods they transported is limited, and there are a lot of escorts, but most of them are ordinary, there are only two Jindan monks on the ship, and the remaining twenty or thirty people are all foundation building monks." ”
Qian Yang nodded silently.
Lao Zheng's words were not finished: "I will also talk about the situation of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce! Although we should not take their boat, I think it is still necessary for everyone to understand their strength." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, indicating that they were still very curious about the situation of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce.
Lao Zheng sighed: "The Duobao Chamber of Commerce actually has a total of two large flying boats, and they have been staying in Crescent Moon Continent for nearly half a month. In the past half a month, they have lived in seclusion, and outsiders do not know much about their situation. ”
"Two?" Yang Gong expressed his doubts.
"That's right!" Lao Zheng explained, "There are indeed two of them, but just as our flying boats arrived in Crescent Continent, one of them happened to leave in the direction of Zhongzhou.
Yang Gong shook his head: "The Duobao Chamber of Commerce operates a rough stone business in the Western Wilderness, and there is not much contact with Zhongzhou. Even if some spirit stones are occasionally transported to Zhongzhou, they will also take secret channels, and they will definitely not dispatch two large flying boats to transport them at once with such fanfare. ”
Lao Zheng smiled: "That's right, so it's obvious that the two flying boats of the Duobao Sect are coming for us." ”
Wu Qingshui also understood: "The one that flew away is waiting for us in front, and the other one is ready to cut us off!"
Lao Zheng nodded: "I guess it's the same." ”
At this time, Luo Yongxi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Since they have all arranged it, what are you going to do with bombing our flying boat?"
The corners of Qian Yang's mouth hooked vaguely, and he said in his heart: It turns out that this kid is not stupid!
