Chapter 522: Chaos (1)
"Qingzhou of the Thirteen Prefectures of the Central Plains?" Mo Chen was a little incredulous.
He had never heard of this area in the Xuanyin Heaven and Earth.
There was a faint premonition of bad luck in my heart.
After that, Mo Chen and the Ye family chatted very little.
Mo Chen was piecing together the information he had gotten now, while the Ye family wanted to return to the clan as soon as possible because they didn't want to stay here for too long.
Therefore, the three of them quickly crossed the Yanshan Mountain Range and rushed towards Fengdu at full speed.
Behind the Yanshan Mountain Range is a large river called Wusi.
According to Ye Boxin, the entire river was completely controlled by several veins of aquatic demon clans, and humans were not allowed to cross the river.
"Don't underestimate these aquatic demon clans, although their individual strength is not very good, but they are extremely fertile, and they can often give birth to thousands of babies a year. Ye Boxin said with a slight horror.
But fortunately, these aquatic demon clans are naturally fond of gold and silver shining artifacts, so after sending a large number of monks to negotiate with these demon clan leaders in Fengdu City, it was decided to let the aquatic demon clan open this great river channel at the cost of paying a hundred pieces of gold, silver, and jade magic weapons every month.
It didn't take long for the three of them to reach Qinglong Town on the bank of the Wusi River with the strength of their feet.
Mo Chen stared at it, countless bows broke through the turbid river, and continued to sail towards the shore shoals, and on the winding river shoreline, there were countless such big ships that were ready to set off.
Ye Boxin stood in place and looked around, his expression was suddenly happy, and he immediately walked forward with Ye Yutang and Mo Chen.
There was a large, peculiar-looking ship, shaped like a conch with a depression in the middle, with only a small deck.
But even this small piece of deck, all of which was tightly wrapped in fine wood and other unknown materials, and painted with countless layers of tung oil vermilion lacquer, made the whole ship look remarkable.
Quite a few servants were loading boxes of goods into the ship, and it seemed that the owner of the ship was a wealthy merchant preparing to cross the river.
As the three of Ye Boxin got closer and closer, the wealthy businessman also recognized Ye Boxin as a friend he had once befriended, so he warmly invited the three of them to board the boat together.
............
Outside the ship, the waves kept hitting and making a crisp sound.
Mo Chen and Ye Boxin stood on the deck, looking at the scenery on the river.
"After crossing this river, it is Fengdu City, and it is still safe there. Ye Boxin looked at the riverside bank that was getting closer and closer, and said with a smile.
He had already subconsciously regarded Mochen as a poor scholar from some remote place.
"Oh, what's it like there?" Mochen was slightly curious.
"This......" Ye Boxin smiled and touched his chin and beard, "Not to mention the rest, the world is in chaos right now, but our Fengdu City can be regarded as one of the safest cities in Qingzhou, which is mainly due to the protection of the city lord's mansion and the Xiao, Lin, and Wen families in Fengdu City regardless of their previous suspicions."
Don't look at us along the way, we didn't encounter any robbers, but in fact, many thieves were hidden in the shadows, lurking deep in the surrounding bushes.
Many of them are cultivated monks, and they are inextricably linked with some big forces, and even they do these thieves around here with the tacit consent of many big forces, and most of the money they have stolen will be distributed and handed over to those forces. So it's better for these people to provoke less or less. ”
Mo Chen understood it: "No wonder we didn't see the bandits that Ye Lao said before all the way over, it turned out that they were all shocked by Ye Lao's strength." ”
"This is still Xiaoyou, you are exaggerating, in fact, the main reason is that you are afraid of the strength of my Ye family. Ye Boxin was also very useful for the praise of ink dust, and laughed loudly at the moment.
While the two were talking, a big boat came from the river on the left, this big ship was not the same as the one they were on, a regular big ship, and a two-story attic was directly erected on the boat.
On the bow of the other side stood a middle-aged man in a white robe. The man had a hideous wolf head embroidered on his chest, one hand behind his back, and the other holding a black whip with a hook at the edge.
"Zhu Xiangwen!" The man's face was gloomy, and his eyes were like lightning, "Get out of here!"
His voice was piercing, and it was still dozens of feet away before it came here.
Not only that, but the big ship where the man was located was also approaching quickly, and when it approached the merchant ship, several figures immediately jumped out on both sides of the big ship and crashed the deck of the merchant ship.
The owner of the merchant ship, the rich merchant he had seen before, was a fat man with a big belly, and he was sweating profusely at this time, rushing out of the hatch with a few pale guards, and his legs were almost weak when he saw this scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have something to say! In Xia Yuyang Bing, it is just a businessman, and this ship only transports some jewelry and wine bought from all over the country, and there is no Zhu Xiangwen you said......
In the hatch behind the rich merchant, you can faintly see two girls hiding, who seem to be his daughters.
But these cultivators who boarded the ship didn't understand the words of the wealth merchants, and directly pushed away the crowd with knives and rushed into the cargo hold.
Soon, several people on board took over control of the Conch merchant ship and began to conduct roundside investigations.
A group of men dressed in hideous wolf head clothes immediately came aboard, pulled all the people in the cabin out, and stood in several rows on the deck to be examined.
Ink dust they are no exception.
However, Mo Chen himself didn't care much, after all, this group of cultivators, whether it was the middle-aged man on the big ship opposite, or the guards who jumped onto the merchant ship, they were all too weak and weak......
But this scene changed in Ye Bo's eyes, and he thought that Mo Chen was completely frightened: "Xiaoyou, this is a scene that often appears outside Fengdu City, killing people and destroying households, but small things, as long as they are not too serious, there will be no problems." ”
"Doesn't anyone care?" Mochen was a little puzzled.
From this angle, he could see the group of monks on the ship rummaging vigorously for the cargo in the ship.
They didn't care what you were transporting, they just smashed the wooden box outside, and even spilled all the wine inside, and a large amount of jade jewelry was directly cut into several pieces.
It can be said that this time is to make Yuyang Bing lose money.
"This situation happens thousands of times a day, and it is extremely rare for us to be able to manage Fengdu City well, so where can we manage the outside...... Ye Boxin also said helplessly, "But don't worry, with the identity of my Ye family, they don't dare to do anything to us." ”
Mo Chen's brows frowned slightly, it was not his style to be alone.
But his attention now was not in this regard, but he saw the two girls hiding in the corner of the cabin, one of them was wearing a pink skirt, although the expression was nervous and the face was timid, but the depth of his eyes was not horror, but patience and anger.
What's more, under the investigation of Mochen's divine sense, this is clearly a little boy wearing a girl's clothes......
"Zhu Xiangwen! I'll count to ten, and if you don't come out again, I'll burn the boat." At this time, the clear voice of the middle-aged man came from a distance on the big boat opposite.
Mo Chen obviously saw that the boy in the pink skirt looked tight, and the hand holding the skirt became tighter and tighter.
The girl in the white dress next to him, although she was also scared, kept seemed to comfort him.
Obviously, this merchant ship is also far from being as simple as it seems.
Seeing that the momentum of the matter was no longer controllable, Mochen immediately wanted to stand up and solve the matter.
But just as he wanted to stand up and speak, he saw the rich merchant approaching with a panicked face.
