Chapter 70: The Giant Ship in the River
The old shopkeeper completely misunderstood Jiang Chenlu's good deeds as a hidden beauty in a golden house, so he got the outrageous title just now.
As soon as he said this, the sisters' cheeks turned red and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jiang Chen.
Therefore, Jiang Chen could only elaborate again. What he meant was that it would be best to arrange for the two sisters to learn some skills so that they could be self-reliant.
Furthermore, don't let anyone bully them, take care of them more, and find a place where they can settle down.
The old shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, saying that he would try his best to handle this matter and would never let Jiang Chen down.
Since Jiang Chen had the jade pendant in his hand, what he said was equivalent to a direct order from Lin Xuesong. How could the old shopkeeper dare to be negligent in the slightest.
When the old shopkeeper got up to arrange these things, Jiang Chen gave the two sisters five hundred taels of silver to live a good life in Longjiang. In fact, with this money, it was enough for them to live without worries for food and clothing for several years.
Mu Chang said emotionally: "Master, you must come back to us as soon as possible. You saved my life and my sister's, and we are yours whether we live or die!"
"Sir, although I don't know what kind of danger you will encounter, I believe God will help you because you are a very, very good person."
Jiang Chen smiled at them and said, "Okay, I will keep my promise."
"From now on, you can live a good life in Longjiang City. If you encounter any difficult difficulties, then you can go to the old shopkeeper. He has a big shot behind him, so he will definitely be able to help you."
"Yes, Mu Chang took note of it!"
Jiang Chen was reluctantly sent out by the two sisters. Next, he began to pay attention to the corners of several inns in the city, specifically looking for a special mark that only he and Gu Jun knew.
They had agreed before setting off that after Gu Jun safely escorted the Wu family to Longjiang City, they would find a mark under the wall of an inn and leave a mark that Jiang Chen could find.
Jiang Chen passed the mark again and went to meet everyone.
"Found it, it's the ram's horn mark!"
Jiang Chen's spirit was lifted because it meant that he was about to see Wu Yue and everyone.
Following the orientation of the ram's horn, he quickly found and walked into the inn called "Jixiang Sheng". After asking the waiter, he found out that a family named Wu did live here, but now they have all left.
"Leaving?"
Jiang Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and his keen intuition gave him a premonition that something unexpected must have happened.
"Oh, by the way, there is another person lying in the woodshed. He seems to be the coachman of this family. If you know him, you might as well pay the rent for him."
The boy's words made Jiang Chen very excited. He pushed away the boy who was about to reach out to him for money and rushed directly to the woodshed.
"Hey, you guys need to pay me!"
Jiang Chen's heart is filled with many questions, and now the only person who can explain it all clearly is Gu Jun, but why is he lying in the woodshed?
"Bang!"
The door of the woodshed was pushed open, and what appeared in Jiang Chen's sight was Gu Jun, who was covered in bruises and almost unable to move. He just lay silently in the woodpile, like a wounded beast waiting to die.
"Brother Gu, what happened?"
When he saw Jiang Chen appear in front of him, Gu Jun grabbed his hand excitedly, but it was almost difficult for him to say a simple sentence smoothly.
"Qing... Qingshan is imprisoned in the middle of the river... on a huge ship in the river. For some reason, those people... can't get along with us."
"Where is Wu Yue? And Lao Wu, are they safe now?"
Gu Jun tried his best to exhale and replied: "We are separated..."
"Brother Gu, please rest in peace and recuperate, stop talking, and leave the rest to me."
Jiang Chen stood up and left. Not long after he walked out of the woodshed, the man followed him reluctantly.
"Guest, the man inside has been lying here half-dead for almost two days. If you know him, take him away quickly, but don't die in our inn!"
"Carry him to the upper room and take good care of him, and then invite the best doctor in the city to come and treat him. If he dies, then I will ask you to pay for his life! Do you understand?"
Jiang Chen fiercely grabbed the clerk's lapel and said these words word for word.
The clerk was frightened by his ferocious look. Before he could recover, he felt something heavy in his hands. When he looked down, he realized that it was one hundred taels of silver.
Jiang Chen left Jixiangsheng Inn and started to rush towards the dock. He didn't know what the giant ship Gu Jun said looked like, but now Wu Qingshan was the only one he knew about the whereabouts.
Find Wu Qingshan, find Wu Yue and Lao Wu, each of them is indispensable!
This is Jiang Chen's obsession at this moment. No matter what happened during his absence, he must get everyone back!
Arriving at the riverside pier, Jiang Chen found that there was no need to look for it. The huge ship was moored on the shore. The reason why he could spot the ship at a glance was because he looked at dozens of ships and only one
This ship can be called a "giant".
This ship is as tall as a tower, and compared with the ships around it, it seems as small as handicrafts.
Jiang Chen didn't have time to think too much. Although this was not in line with his habit of doing things, this time even if the giant ship was in a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he could only break in without hesitation.
"Who?"
Just as he was about to approach the giant ship, he saw two guards standing beside the ship, looking at Jiang Chen very warily.
"I'm looking for someone."
"Hmph, there is no one you are looking for here. Leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for not having eyes on the sword in my hand!"
The other party has a tough attitude, with a posture of keeping strangers away or else they will be killed, but why would Jiang Chen listen to these stupid warnings now?
He didn't say any nonsense. He stepped forward and put his hand on the scabbard before the opponent could draw his sword. A strong force was transmitted from the sword blade to his waist. The guard who was talking nonsense just now, just like this
Lying on the ground.
Upon seeing this, his companion immediately drew his sword and stabbed him diagonally. Jiang Chen's steps were exquisite, he dodged a few times to avoid the sharp sword light, and took action to subdue the opponent cleanly.
These two guards looked tough, but they were also vulnerable to Jiang Chen's absolute strength.
"Hand over Wu Qingshan quickly!"
Jiang Chen flew onto the deck, and more guards came over upon hearing the sound. They drew their swords at Jiang Chen one by one, but they didn't know who this man was, yet he showed no fear when facing them.
"Trespassing without permission, you are asking for death!"
