[Chapter 175-Swearing in the Name of the King of the Southwest] Let's talk and count

Unexpectedly, after hearing the words "I want to be rewarded in person, I will be faster", Ye Gu master instantly exploded his hair, even if he was dull like a wooden green mountain, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so he was silent. Lean against Shang Yunze so as not to be innocent.

"Will the southwestern king stay and eat together?" Wen Liunian invited warmly.

Ye Jin silently gripped a small white bottle in his sleeve.

The dark guards winked at Duan Baiyue desperately, be careful, they won't lift it!

"You don't need to eat, I have something else." Duan Baiyue smiled, and suddenly looked at the door, "Does Lord Ye Gu have something to tell me?"

Ye Jin was taken aback first, and then he looked at him suspiciously—why did he suddenly say such a sentence, and he didn't know you very well.

"If there is nothing to say, then I will take a step first, and you all leave." Duan Baiyue looked calm.

"The King of the Southwest, walk slowly." Wen Liunian also hugged his fist, feeling very proud. If he returns to his hometown next time, he may consider going to the Zhang Blacksmith's shop in the city to hit a sword and hang it on his waist.

Then Ye Jin came forward and dragged Duan Baiyue alive into the small chaifang on the other side.

The rest of the people looked at each other. Which one is this singing again?

Shen Qianfeng had a headache.

"What does the Lord Gu mean?" Duan Baiyue looked at him with a smile.

"What is your purpose?" Ye Jin looked at him up and down, and the more he looked, the more he felt like a gangster. He was the same person as Li Dengzi, who had molested the good women everywhere in Chiba City before.

"Purpose?" Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Naturally it is to protect the stability of Chu State."

What did Chu Guo steadily do for you, as if he was very intimate! Ye Jin rolled up his sleeves, and then said sternly: "My brother is going to get married."

"Oh? It turns out that the Emperor Chu wants to accept his concubine as the queen." Duan Baiyue was interested, "I don't know whose daughter I want to marry?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ye Gu Master Tsundere raised her head.

Duan Baiyue laughed and said, "If it has nothing to do with me, then why does Lord Ye Gu specifically mention it?"

Ye Jin: "..."

Duan Baiyue continued to stare at him with interest.

In short, don't even think about it! Ye Jin hugged the cat and walked out of the wood shed coldly.

Everyone watched him disappear all the way, and they all felt extremely admired.

What temper? This is.

"Southwest King." Shen Qianfeng apologized.

Duan Baiyue smiled and shook her head, and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

got used to? Wen Liunian is a little confused, is it possible that the owner of the valley is very familiar with the southwestern king?

"As for the shark soldiers, please ask the King of Southwest." Shen Qianfeng said.

Duan Baiyue promised: "Do your best."

And the facts proved that King Duan did his best-he sent Duan Nian quickly back to the southwest for exploration. This record of the shark is in broken script. The patriarch’s name is Ah Kan. He was originally the most irritable of the 72 village masters in Miaojiang. After being teased by Duan Baiyue cats and mice for a whole year, Finally completely unable to resist, he was unwilling to lead the tribe to surrender. On weekdays, he rarely shows up. He has been living in the mountains, farming and picking tea, and he is self-sufficient.

In the boundless East China Sea, Wufeng also took a small group of men and horses to sail out to sea, under the guise of being a pearl business, to inquire about the whereabouts of the sharks.

"It would be great if there were sharks." After hearing him talk, the fishermen laughed and joked, "Keep one at home, and you can sell pearls when you cry. How can it be used in the wind and waves like now? Go, just barely get enough food and clothing."

"Really?" Wufeng asked again.

"Who knows, in short, we haven't seen it before, and haven't heard a few people talk about it." The fisherman put the net away, "only Laifu said that he had seen it, but I couldn't tell the truth after asking. He has always had problems in his mind, and no one would believe it."

"Laifu?" Wufeng asked, "Are you also a fisherman?"

"I'm a net weaver, and I don't go into the sea very often." The fisherman said, "I live on Baihuan Island not far from here."

No wind smiled, changed the topic and talked a few words, bought some fish, and then pulled the sail and sailed into the deep sea.

Baihuan Island is very small, and there are not many residents on the island. Most of them live by fishing, and then rely on the merchant ships to exchange some rice, noodles, vegetable oil. Although the days are hard, but the ancestors have relied on the sea for food for generations, and they don’t feel hard. .

In the small courtyard at the west end of the village, a middle-aged man is darning old fishing nets. Although the weather is still a bit cold, he only wears a short coat. The muscles on his arms are bulging, and he looks very strong and strong.

No wind knocked on the door twice, and the man raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes a little puzzled.

"We are merchants in the past." Wufeng explained, "The ship has something wrong, and it is temporarily parked at the pier for repairs. I want to come over and beg for a cup of hot water."

"That's it, please sit down." The man is exactly what the previous group of fishermen had said. Not long after, he brought out hot tea from the house, and some dried fish and fried peanuts.

"Thank you." Wufeng put a silver bullion on the table.

Laifu smiled and put it away, he was not polite-he would not blackmail or understand courtesy, if no wind did not give, he would not take the initiative, but if it is given, the silver is a good thing, of course he has to accept it. .

"Sister-in-law is not at home?" Wufeng asked.

"I'm going to dry the sea vegetables. The sun is good today." Laifu continued to **** the fishing nets. "What business does the customer do?"

"Pearl." No wind said.

"That's a big business." Laifu said, "No wonder I haven't seen it before." Most of the merchants who are willing to come to this island are for daily needs. As for the porcelain and jewelry, they go directly through the east. Came here deliberately.

"Business is not doing well these days." Wufeng sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid I will have to switch to rice noodle business."

"Why?" Laifu asked curiously, "Is the price of pearls down?"

"It's not that the price has fallen, it's simply that you can't get it." Wufeng said, "Even if it is collected, it is of different sizes and poor quality, and it cannot be sold at a good price."

"Guests must go to the deep sea often." Laifu said in a low voice, rather mysteriously, "Go to Beisha Bay, where there are sharks."

"Oh?" No wind accidentally, "Sailor?"

"Yes, shark people, a large group." Perhaps it is rare for someone to listen to this story. Laifu didn't even have the intention of weaving fishing nets, and his eyes lightened and moved closer. "Swimming fast in the sea, in the blink of an eye Gone."

"How many?" Wufeng asked.

"There are also twenty or thirty." Laifu said, "The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a fishtail, exactly the same as in the painting."

"Except for Beisha Bay, where else have you seen the shark?" Wufeng continued to ask.

"No, just that time." Laifu looked forward to looking at him, "Do you believe it?"

"I believe it." No wind nodded.

Laifu said happily: "I have seen it, but nobody believes it."

"It's just that Beisha Bay is not too close to here, why go there?" Wufeng asked again.

"At that time, I was not married. I heard my third uncle say that Lord Chu of Dakun City was recruiting soldiers and horses. My parents thought I could get ahead, so I packed my luggage and went out to sea with a few fellow villagers." Laifu said, "The recruiter sees my body. Being strong and capable of water, I was asked to work as a helper on the boat, and I accidentally saw it."

"Did you tell others about this at that time?" Wufeng said.

"No, in case you collided with the sharks at sea, it would be a great storm." Laifu said, "the ancestors have said that for generations, where there are sharks, there is a sea god."

"What about after landing? Didn't tell anyone else?" Wufeng poured another cup of tea for him.

"After landing, I accidentally offended the lieutenant and was kicked out of the army." Laifu was obviously a little frustrated when it came to this.

It's no wonder that I saw the shark, but he hasn't been killed yet... Wufeng knew it, and continued to say nothing to him until night fell, pulling the sail back to Sakurajima.

"Beisha Bay?" Yun Duanhun opened the map, "It's very close to Dakun City."

"I've been there with Wuying. The white fog is all day long, and there are whirlpools all around." Wuying said, "Except for the battleships of the Chu State Navy, ordinary merchant ships can't get close at all."

"So it must be famous inside." Yun Duanhun said, "What are you and Xiaoying doing there?"

"It happened three or four years ago. Take him to fish for sea snails." No wind said, "Although Bel-Air can't get in, there is still a waterway nearby that leads to the East, so there will be merchant ships passing by every three to five. ."

"Tell Xiao Liuzi about this first," Yun Duanhun said. "Go to the vicinity of Beisha Bay again. Be careful."

No wind nodded and agreed, turned and left the study.

Da Kun City is not too close to Sakura Island, and the letters have gone from spring to summer. Wen Liunian wilted his head and drank slowly holding a small bowl of sour plum soup.

Heatstroke.

Mu Qingshan ordered him to bring in a lot of ice cubes for him, and then sat on the side of the bed and said, "The porridge will be ready in a while."

"Yeah." Master Wen was weak, his nose was slightly red, and he looked very haggard.

"Wait better, eat elbow again." Mu Qingshan comforted him.

Thinking of the greasy taste, Wen Liunian felt a suffocation in his chest, which was rarely nauseous.

So when the Chu family and his son came in, they saw him retching on the bedside, with red cloth tied around his head, and dried hawthorn and wild plum on the cabinet.

Chu Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth, right?

"The prince, the son." Wen Liunian was weak.

"How come the adult is so seriously ill." Chu Heng said, "Have you ever asked the little lord for treatment?"

"It's cured, but it's not cured yet." Wen Liunian said, "I don't know why the prince is looking for the next official?"

"It's nothing big," Chu Heng said, "I just heard that the adult was in a hug, so I came to visit."

"It's really troublesome, Lord Lao." Wen Liunian sat up a bit, then complained, "Come on and bring any gifts."

Chu Cheng: "..."

When did he say he brought gifts? !

Wen Liunian started coughing desperately again.

Chu Heng had no choice but to say: "My lord, you are polite, it's just some ingredients for clearing the fire, which will be delivered later."

"The weather has been really hot recently." Wen Liunian said, "If the prince has ingredients to clear the fire, why not cook more soup for the people? So if there is a plague, it will be burnt again."

"My lord is very true." Chu Heng said, "I will order people to build a shantang in the city as soon as possible."

"Good, good." Wen Liunian was very satisfied.

Chu Cheng was a little angry, there would be such a person, and he didn't forget to blackmail him when he got sick.

After the two left, Wen Liunian lay on the bed and told Mu Qingshan: "Put more kimchi in the porridge."

"My adults, don't be so tired from now on." Mu Qingshan was a little bit upset for him. "Building houses and roads should be the job of local officials. There is no reason for them to sleep at home to enjoy the coolness, but adults run to the construction site every day."

"It's okay, anyway, they will be an official soon." Wen Liunian said, "It's about the people. I don't worry about handing it over to the group of straws."

"I've been sick for four or five days." Mu Qingshan said, "If you let the master know, you will definitely feel distressed."

Wen Liunian scratched his face, wanting to kiss a little!

"My lord." The secret guard knocked on the door and came in. "There is a letter."

"Is it from Donghai?" Mu Qingshan asked.

Wen Liunian couldn't wait to reach out his hand, and he really had a good heart.

The dark guard said: "It was sent by the Southwest King."

Wen Liunian touched his nose, oh.

"The Southwest King found the patriarch of the Pomeng clan." Mu Qingshan gave him his faith, "I will bring him to see the lord tomorrow night. He also said that the patriarch had a bad temper and was irritable, and seemed extremely unwilling to cooperate."

"Then why would you be willing to go out of the mountains and come to this Da Kun City?" Wen Liunian wondered.

Mu Qingshan said: "After being stunned by Duan Nian, he directly carried it over."

Wen Liunian said: "Very good, very good."

Mu Qingshan: "..."

"Is there no new correspondence in Donghai?" Wen Liunian asked again.

"Not yet." The dark guard shook his head.

Wen Liunian sighed with regret.

Mu Qingshan's mood is very complicated. If he remembers correctly, he has just received a letter ten days ago, and it hasn't been long since. If you look at an adult like an uninformed person, you might think it is big. The head has gone out of the wall.

Outside Dayun City, Duan Nian handed the roasted jerky and flour cakes to Ah Kan. Seeing his fierce look and tearing open his mouth, he felt a little bottomless, and went back to Duan Baiyue and said in a low voice, "I really want it. Bring it to Master Wen?"

"Naturally." Duan Baiyue said, "The person has been found. If you don't send it out quickly, it is impossible to stay with the king."

"But..." Will there be a fight?

"Don't worry." Duan Baiyue said, "If you can't handle people, it doesn't mean that Master Wen can't do it either. Maybe you will get along for a few days, and you might see it right away."

Duan Nian turned his head and looked at Ah Kan again, and saw that he was spitting out a bone fiercely, his hands and face were oily, his hair was messed up with thatch, a string of animal bones hung around his neck, and his face was tattooed fiercely and fiercely.

This look is not to say that the wine is happy, the average scholar is afraid that it will be too late to run after seeing it.

"That Master Wen is not an ordinary scholar." As if seeing his mind, Duan Baiyue smiled and shook her head. It's not much better." They can all be classified as one kind of people.

After eating and drinking, Ah Kan spread out his cloak indiscriminately and lay down in a shelter from the wind. For Duan Baiyue, he naturally couldn't fight and couldn't provoke him, but the adult from the court was different. He had to get himself to the beach all the way, and after meeting, he must take a good breath. .

The weather was fine the next day, and it was no longer sultry when it rained in the morning. In the afternoon, Wen Liunian got up from the bed with a yawn and shook his head, still feeling a little dizzy.

"Sir, really okay?" Mu Qingshan poured a cup of tea for him, "Why don't you take another day off."

"It's okay." Wen Liunian said, "Guests from Yunnan from thousands of miles away, don't be negligent."

"But the lord looks morbid." Mu Qingshan said, "It's better to rest more." After all, it is not easy to know about the scorpion, and the patriarch does not sound like he is willing to cooperate. I don't know how long it will take.

Wen Liunian ate half a snack, patted clothes and went to the lobby.

Mu Qingshan had to keep up.

The rest of the people were already there, and Ah Kanduan sat in the chair with a black look on his face. Ye Jin sat across from him with the cat in his arms, and never looked away—the five big three have a thick face with tattoos, the eyebrows are almost joined together, and the neckline shows a pinch of chest hair, which is really pleasing to the eye.

If Duan Baiyue grows like this, that would be great, and save yourself worrying.

The dark guard silently sympathized with Shen Qianfeng. Seeing the posture Valley Master's hobby of the top five and three coarse hairs, it seems that he hasn't changed... this is intently.

"Who are you, what are you staring at me for?" Ah Kan was obviously also a little unhappy, and he reached out his hand and patted the table.

"I'm not a big girl, I'm afraid of being looked at?" Ye Jin asked back, "Could it be that she is shy."

Ah Kan obviously felt tight in his chest, and then asked gruffly, "Are you the Master Wen?"

"I'm not." Ye Jin shook his head and pointed out his hand, "This one is."

Wen Liunian ran in all the way, bending over and coughing when entering the house.

Ah Kan immediately disliked it and took refuge a little bit, so don't have tuberculosis.

"This strong man." Wen Liunian finally took a sigh of relief, "I think he is the patriarch of the Pomeng clan."

"It's me." Akan sat a hundred and eighty miles away from him.

Wen Liunian praised: "It's really a heroic and extraordinary Yushu Linfeng."

The dark guard twitched his mouth, does the master know this.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Akan said impatiently, "Southwest King showed me the letter, and I don't know what's going on."

"But that legend is clearly written in Pomeng." Wen Liunian said, "If you don't know, is there someone else from Pomeng's patriarch?"

As expected, Ah Kan was irritated and cursed loudly. Although few people understood it, he could know that it was not a good thing based on his expression and tone of voice. Duan Baiyue frowned slightly, just about to stop it, but saw Wen Liunian with hands on his hips, and then cursed back. Although it was not the Pomeng ethnic language, it was also the language commonly used in Miao, and the voice was only loud and loud.

...

Really don't eat any loss.

Obviously, Ah Kan was also taken aback, turned his head and glanced at Duan Baiyue.

"I said it a long time ago, Master Wen is the number one talented man in Great Chu." Southwestern Wang Ren smiled, "Don't say it's you, even this king can't take advantage of it."

Wen Liunian rubbed his nose with a very innocent expression.

A Kan: "..."

"Since the Pomeng people live in the mountains all year round, they must have very little contact with the outside world, let alone the East China Sea thousands of miles away." Wen Liunian said, "This book appeared for no reason, but you said that you didn't know it, either. The clan’s betrayal, or someone else is secretly in charge, is entirely reasonable speculation, without any offense, and the clan leader needn’t get angry when he grows up."

Ah Kan drank a cup of tea. Why didn't you say that? You have to scold him before you start to make sense.

"The patriarch came all the way to this Da Kun city, and he couldn't do nothing at all." Wen Liunian spread his hands, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing."

Ah Kan's eyes widened, speaking as if I wanted to come by myself.

"Besides, if the patriarch is willing to cooperate, it will be good for the Pomeng people." Wen Liunian turned to look at the Southwest King, "right?"

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, noncommittal.

"Cough!" Ye Jin coughed fiercely.

Duan Baiyue touched her nose and acquiesced.

"Even if you don't give a reward, it is always good to make the King of Southwest owe a favor." Wen Liunian took him to sit at the table affectionately. prestige."

"Can I really use this to make a request?" Akan asked.

"Natural energy." Wen Liunian promised, "Swearing in the name of King Duan, so many people in the room have heard it. It is a villain to say nothing."

Duan Baiyue: "..."

Ah Kan's Chinese is not necessarily so good. Wen Liunian is also enthusiastic, and could not distinguish the difference between "famous festival" and "famous" for a while, so he vaguely said: "Seven or eight years ago, there was indeed someone I've been to Pomeng Mountain."

Sure enough...Wen Liunian's smile became more pure: "For the shark?"

"In order to buy gold thread Gu." A Kan said, "The price offered at that time was not low. The condition was that someone should be sent to the East China Sea with him."

"Then the patriarch agreed?" Wen Liunian asked.

"I don't want to agree." A Kan glanced at Duan Nian again, his tone of voice was obviously bad.

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows. Seven or eight years ago, it should have happened to be when she isolated and broke the Meng clan. It was estimated that her money was exhausted, so she had to go out of the mountain.

The person who was sent out back then was Ah Kan’s cousin, named Naba, who was considered a master Gu raiser among the tribe. After spending more than half a year in the East China Sea, he returned and brought back a lot of gold and silver jewelry. A good day.

"Where are the others?" Wen Liunian asked hurriedly, "Why didn't they come together?"

"I rolled down the mountain while hunting for a thousand years." Akan said, "I didn't save it."

Wen Liunian felt a little apologetic.

"According to what he said, he had been imprisoned in the East China Sea. He could only see two or three people, and he didn't know where they were." A Kan said, "What he does every day is to keep growing golden thread Gu, occasionally listening to it. I started talking with the guards and mentioned the fishtail of the human body. I thought it was strange and wrote a story. I planned to bring it back to the clan leader, but the back was accidentally lost."

"That should be this one." Wen Liunian picked it up from the table. "It happened to be picked up by someone and sent to the academy as an ancient book." Then after many years, he was found again by himself.

This is the will of God in the dark.

"What kind of house is the imprisonment of Nabba, has he ever said?" Ye Jin interjected.

"There is a big column in the middle of the house, and the walls are clean." Ah Kan said, "There are trees and flowers planted in the yard."

The rest are silent, at least half of the houses in the city are like this.

"There is also a water tank in the yard." Probably because everyone's eyes were a little unspeakable, Ah Kan thought about it again, "There is a red carp in it."

"Koi?" Wen Liunian became interested. Although most of the people in Dakun City are fishermen, most of them are fishing for sea fish. Ordinary people can't afford to spend a lot of money to bring two koi from outside to raise them. Thinking of the pool of koi in the prince's mansion, Master Wen scratched his face with satisfaction, but it didn't take much effort.

Golden thread Gu is used to manipulate the human brain. Once in the human body for more than ten years, it will completely swallow the human brain and turn it into a puppet, and its life span will be greatly shortened. It is extremely insidious and cruel. The Miaojiang tribe is also deeply spurned, no wonder the other party will go to break the Meng tribe and make sky-high prices.

"Does the patriarch have an antidote?" Wen Liunian asked.

Ah Kan nodded: "Naturally, I need to use my fingertip blood, but it must be taken orally within three hours after the preparation is made, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be lost."

"Very good." Wen Liunian smiled, "Then you will live here for a while longer."

"Living for a while longer?" Ah Kan stood up instantly and said angrily. "The King of Southwestern has said clearly before. I can go back after I finish talking about it."

"Finally in charge." The dark guard hurriedly made a round.

Ah Kan rushed out with his head buried.

"Big husbands do things from the beginning to the end." Wen Liunian grabbed people, seeming more excited than him. "I don't know who the golden thread gu was applied to. Maybe he is already thinking numb and becoming A walking dead puppet. The patriarch wanted to go back to reunite with the tribe, but did he think about their parents, wives and children for half? Now the official just wants to ask the patriarch to stay here for a while, until the victim is found to dispense an antidote. Back home, why should such a reasonable request be rejected?!"

Ah Kan struggled twice and didn't break away. He said that the manpower for studying is quite strong, but when he saw it again, he was taken aback and cried?

Wen Liunian's eyes were like rabbits, staring at him fiercely.

"You..." Ah Kan was shocked.

Wen Liunian was extremely firm.

"How long will it take?" A Kan asked.

Wen Liunian thought for a while: "Half a year."

"So long?" Akan frowned.

"For the affairs of the Meng clan, this king will send someone to take care of you." Duan Baiyue said, "If there is Ahai, there will be no trouble."

Akan hesitated. Although he said that he didn't like Duan Baiyue, he knew that he really had the ability to speak his words, otherwise he would not be willing to submit to it at first. Thinking about it again, the Golden Thread Gu is indeed part of his own clan. It is not too much to be left to clean up the mess. And most importantly, looking at this man with swords in the house, even if he wants to go, he can't go.

Since it's no good to insist, you can only take a step back.

"How?" Wen Liunian looked at him.

"Okay." Ah Kan finally nodded.

Wen Liunian breathed a sigh of relief, and was taken to the guest room to rest.

"The adults are just acting?" Mu Qingshan asked curiously after everyone had left.

"The first is acting, the latter is serious." Wen Liunian drank a glass of water, "No matter what is going on with those sharks, they shouldn't be manipulated by money gu, they will naturally have to be saved if they can be saved." The black hand behind will pay this debt back sooner or later.
