Chapter 35 Embarkation

No one knows why the Duobao Sect blew up the flying boat of the Hidden Sword Gate, or whether it was the Duobao Sect that blew up the flying boat.

But it's a fact that the flying boat is gone, and it's urgent to find out the next way out, and it's too late to explore the cause of the matter.

Now there are only two ways in front of the people in Qianyang, either stay in the Crescent Moon Continent and wait for the Hidden Sword Gate to send a flying boat to rescue again, or find a suitable one in the existing large flying boat in the Crescent Moon Continent to take a downwind boat.

The monk fought for his life against the sky, and the word "fight" fulfilled the monk's survival rule. In the hearts of everyone, in fact, they are not willing to stay in such a strange place as the Crescent Continent and passively wait for the arrangement of fate.

After a brief discussion, the controversial issue has changed without a trace to whether they should take the ship of the Zhuyufang or the ship of the Sihefang.

According to Lao Zheng, merchant ships passing through Crescent Moon Island usually do not refuse the requests of other monks to board, but the passengers have to pay a large fee.

And Lao Zheng has acquaintances on these two flying boats, and his friendship is not very deep, but he still has the face to pay for the boat. In other words, the initiative of which ship to take is still in the hands of the people of the Hidden Sword Gate.

There was a heated discussion among the crowd for a while, and some people thought that it would be better to take the flying boat of the Jewel Workshop, after all, the guard force on that ship was quite good, and if there was an accident, some strength could be borrowed.

Others objected, believing that it was precisely because of the strength of the Jewel Workshop that they were qualified to compete with them, so if they really got on the Jewel Workshop's flying boat, the initiative would be greatly reduced, and if they were attacked by the Jewel Sect, it would be absolutely impossible for the monks of the Jewel Workshop to fight against the Treasure Sect with them.

In contrast, the weak defense of the Quadrangle will undoubtedly give the people of the Hidden Sword Sect more choice.

The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled.

Qian Yang never expressed his position, he was convinced that how the Hidden Sword Gate would choose should have been determined a long time ago, the so-called group discussion was just a formality, and people like him who didn't know why should not cause trouble to others, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble when someone who understood it would be to guide him for a while.

Sure enough, when the big guys were almost discussed, Lao Zheng opened his mouth and said: "I think, even if Duobaozong takes action against us, the number of people who can be dispatched will be very limited, what does Qian Daoyou think?"

Qian Yang nodded quickly: "That's right, I won't hide it from you, the feud between me and the Duobao Sect this time is actually due to the personal grudge between me and some people in the Duobao Sect. Even if that person could raise the contradiction to the level of the sect under some pretext, the contradiction between the sects was far less intense. ”

Sneaking a peek at Lao Zheng's expression, Qian Yang continued: "So, in the final analysis, this incident is just someone's personal vendetta, so it is impossible for him to use the manpower of the Duobao Sect on a large scale, otherwise once the situation expands, he will not be able to clean up the consequences." ”

Lao Zheng smiled and nodded: "Qian Daoyou is reasonable, but since Duobaozong plans to take the initiative to attack us, then at least the strength on paper should be above us, so I boldly speculate that the manpower used by Duobaozong should be about twice as many as ours, and the error of this number should not be very large." ”

Everyone nodded.

Lao Zheng continued: "In this case, if we take the flying boat of the Jewel Jade Workshop, our manpower and the manpower of the Jewel Workshop combined, the strength should not be too inferior to the Duobao Sect." If that's the case, the Jewel Shop won't necessarily sit idly by, because after all, we're paying. ”

One of the people next to him shook his head when he mentioned this: "Lao Zheng, no matter how many people there are, it is impossible for Zhuyufang to do anything with Duobaozong, they are businessmen, and there is no reason to offend customers." ”

"That's right!" Lao Zheng nodded in agreement, but continued: "It's true that the Jewel Jade Sect can't do anything with the Duobao Sect, but even if we can't borrow their strength, we can borrow some momentum, and the Duobao Sect will definitely throw a mouse-boggy weapon in the face of a strength that is not inferior to theirs." So I think the pros outweigh the disadvantages!"

Qian Yang nodded secretly, looking at what others said, it was reasonable and seamless!

Of course, with Qian Yang's knowledge, he definitely has reason to believe that if Lao Zheng wants to take the flying boat of Sihefang, then he will definitely be able to come up with a set of equally reasonable arguments.

In the final analysis, there is no essential difference between the word and the trick.

"There's just one problem. Wu Qingshui opened his mouth and said, "Are those people in Zhuyufang reliable?"

Lao Zheng was silent for a moment before he cautiously replied: "With a hundred dares from the Pearl Jade Workshop, they don't dare to calculate our Hidden Sword Gate." However, whether there will be a few people with ulterior motives on board, no one can say. All I can say is that most of the people on board should be reliable!"

"Then let's get on the ship of Zhuyufang?" Wu Qingshui asked.

Lao Zheng turned his head to look at Luo Yongxi: "What does Senior Brother Luo think?"

Luo Yongxi looked at Qian Yang: "What does Senior Brother Qian think?"

Qian Yangxin said Okay! My social status is unconsciously high to this extent?

"It's good for you to decide, I have no opinion. "Qian Yang is still interested. Luo Yongxi is a person who doesn't count in his heart, he is a lot older, how can he not count in his heart, he can't say that people carry you, you will go up!

As soon as he heard Qian Yang's words, Luo Yongxi had no opinion, and said to Lao Zheng: "It's good that you decide." ”

Lao Zheng looked at Wu Qingshui, which means: What are you doing? Hurry up and give a word!

Wu Qingshui pursed his lips aggrievedly: "You decide!"

Lao Zheng asked aloud again: "Everyone has no opinion, right?"

Some people said that there was no opinion, and some people did not say anything, so the matter was decided so happily.

Lao Zheng laughed: "Since everyone agrees to take the boat of Zhuyufang, then I will run an errand for everyone and try to pick a more spacious room for everyone." ”

Qian Yang didn't know how Lao Zheng negotiated with the people of Zhuyufang, but soon, a group of sixteen of them successfully boarded the flying boat of Zhuyufang, and were also assigned two rather spacious adjacent cabins for rest.

When he was out of the house, he was on the boat, and the eight-person room was already a good treatment, and no one was dissatisfied with it, but Qian Yang was a little puzzled by boarding the ship so smoothly.

According to his understanding, Jewel Workshop was a cargo ship, and it was also a cargo ship loaded with high-value items, even from the perspective of safety alone, it really shouldn't bring a group of powerful outsiders with it on an already dangerous journey.

After the people of the Hidden Sword Sect settled down, Qian Yang specially consulted Lao Zheng about this doubt, and the answer he got really surprised him.

Lao Zheng told him that the reason why the cargo ship was willing to carry passengers was actually because the people who ran the ship wanted to make extra money!

The voyage from Zhongzhou to the Western Wilderness is hard and dangerous, and if you don't take the opportunity to earn a little expense, I'm afraid that no one wants to run this kind of drudgery. Therefore, the monks who run the boat make a small profit on the way to the delivery, which can almost be regarded as the unspoken rule of this industry.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the chamber of commerce or sect behind the flying boat can only turn a blind eye to this. Lao Zheng even made no secret of the fact that he had made no less money before.

Qian Yang said with a smile, is it that if the flying boat was not bombed, he would also earn a vote along the way this time?

Lao Zheng smiled but said nothing.

Eight gentlemen live in one room, the air quality in the cabin can be imagined, Qian Yang is not willing to stay in it longer, but he was forbidden to get off the ship by Lao Zheng, so he can only find a reason to wander around on the deck.

Luo Yongxi has been silently following behind Qian Yang, not daring to leave an inch like taking care of a three-year-old child.

Qian Yang didn't refuse, just looked left and right on the boat, and seemed to chat with some people at random.

In the final analysis, the people of Zhuyufang are all engaged in the service industry, and they pay attention to smiling faces. Qian Yang had the heart to chat, but the people in Zhuyufang had no intention of refusing, so it didn't take long for Qian Yang to understand a lot about the situation on the ship.

For example, the ship's supervisor is surnamed Feng, and Xiu Wei of the Jindan period was originally the shopkeeper of a large store in the Western Wilderness of Zhuyufang, but he has just changed his career to be in charge of cargo transportation.

Zhuyufang's visit to Xihuang this time was to send another person to take over his work, and this voyage was the first time that Director Feng had delivered goods in office.

For another example, Director Feng's deputy is affectionately called Lao Qiao, this Lao Qiao only has the cultivation of the foundation building period, and he is not a serious person in the Zhuyu Fang, and he is about to retire.

But this old Joe, who has run a boat all his life, is the oldest person on this ship, a veritable old driver.

When Director Feng first arrived, he was not familiar with many things, so he promoted Lao Qiao to his side, helping himself share his worries, and at the same time, he also solved the problem of the treatment of retired old comrades by the way.

Director Feng still has a lot of trust in Lao Qiao, according to a fast-talking Zhuyufang disciple, the people of the Hidden Sword Sect can board the flying boat, which is the path of Lao Qiao that Lao Zheng took.

If it weren't for the acquaintances, so many people from the Hidden Sword Gate wanted to board the ship, I am afraid that the Jewel Workshop would also have certain scruples.

In addition to Director Feng and Lao Qiao on the ship, there were more than 20 guys from Zhuyufang, among which there were eight Jindan monks, I don't know which cabin they were hiding in, anyway, Qian Yang didn't see any of them, and those guys who were messing around on the deck were all Zhuji monks.

Qian Yang thought about it for a while and understood that the Jindan monks of the Zhuyu Fang should be in charge of bringing the goods, and those goods that were said to be of great value should be hidden on them, and the Zhuji monks were responsible for driving the boat and doing chores.

In addition to the monks of the Jewel Jade Workshop and the Hidden Sword Gate, there were also more than a dozen individual passengers on the ship. For ordinary monks, if they want to travel between the Western Wilderness and Zhongzhou, taking a merchant ship is the most convenient one, and Qian Yang and Lao Ding also took a small chamber of commerce's flying boat when they came to the Western Wilderness before.

The treatment of individual guests is definitely not as good as that of these people in the Hidden Sword Gate, of course, there is no single living cabin, and the Jewel Workshop only leaves the space on the bottom of the flying boat for stacking sundries to them.

A dozen people living in a utility room are not crowded, but after a two-month flight, they are enough to bring people to the brink of collapse.

Qian Yang's mind has always been different from ordinary people, and he doesn't know what he thinks, anyway, after shopping, he walked to the legendary utility room.
