248 Ratchet
In Lei Wujie's eyes, Xiao Se is a person who never shows weakness. Even when faced with the mysterious thousand-faced ghost in the underground river, and even the murderous head of the Su Xie family, he never flinched. But this time
He said very seriously that if we stay here, everyone on the ship will die.
So even Lei Wujie was on alert. What did Xiao Lingchen say to him and what kind of enemies would be ahead.
But Mu Chunfeng shook his head firmly: "No, none of us will die."
Xiao Se frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Moreover." Mu Chunfeng paused, "You promised me that you would catch me and catch that iron glass. Without you, it would be difficult to accomplish this."
"Even now, are you still concerned about your brother's illness?" Xiao Se asked quietly.
"This is about the inheritance of my Mu family, and more importantly, the reputation of my Mu family. No one can steal anything from my Mu family's merchant ship, whether it's goods or people. Shopkeeper Tian!" Mu Chunfeng suddenly swept away the elegant young master's appearance and rolled up his sleeves.
With a wave, "Sacrifice the family flag!"
The Mu family has a total of two flags, one is the business flag, which is the Phoenix Flying Flag. The other is the family flag, with only one square word on it - Mu.
"Yes." Tian Mozhi appeared out of nowhere and bowed his head slightly.
Tang Lian walked forward: "What should I do?"
"The Mu family is proud of the Mu family, so I will accept his love." Xiao Se paused, "There are about three days left, we need to recuperate."
"Is there a deadly battle ahead?" Sikong Qianluo asked.
Xiao Se nodded: "A narrow escape from death."
"I have an idea that I want to try," Tang Lian said suddenly.
"You have just entered the realm of freedom. If you forcefully enter the realm of freedom, you will become possessed." Xiao Se said softly.
Tang Lian sighed: "When that time comes, there is nothing we can do."
Xiao Se looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lei Wujie stroked the sword in his arms and seemed to have thought of something.
Sikong Qianluo bit his lip, wanting to say something but didn't say anything.
They have encountered danger many times, but this time it is different. In the vast sea, there will be no masters to save them. This time, they can only rely on themselves.
Xiao Se lowered his head and suddenly walked towards the inner cabin.
"What are you going for?" Lei Wujie asked.
"You practice martial arts while I sleep." Xiao Se didn't look back.
All three people suddenly laughed.
Three days passed in a row, and they were very peaceful. Even Lei Wujie seemed very silent, focusing only on sword practice. Sikong Qianluo repeatedly practiced martial arts with Tang Lian. Tang Lian, who no longer used concealed weapons, no longer had the strength to fight in the past.
He is a master of killing skills, but every move makes him more elegant. Sikong Qianluo has just entered a comfortable state, and his marksmanship has also been completely transformed, and he has improved rapidly.
Xiao Se has been sleeping.
Mu Chunfeng always looked at Dong Qianshan in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Three days later, two ships slowly appeared in front of them. The two ships appeared almost at the same time, but it was obvious that they did not come together.
Because one ship belongs to the Beili Gaocheng Prefecture Navy and the other belongs to Guotong Prefecture, these coastal prefectures are indeed qualified to send ships to patrol the deep sea, but they rarely come to such deep seas. Officials from Gaocheng Prefecture
On the ship, the naval commander looked at Guotongfu's ship and said quietly: "They are here too?"
Behind him, a figure in gray clothes said indifferently: "The governor of Guotong Mansion is the cousin of His Royal Highness Prince Bai's biological mother."
"It seems there is no need for us to take action?" The Admiral took a breath. Although the relationship between their Governor and His Highness the Red King of Tianqi is also extraordinary, this order was still very difficult to receive. The person who received the letter
In an instant, the governor's face turned pale.
"I'm afraid they think so too." The man in gray sighed.
Sure enough, after the official ship of Gaocheng Prefecture slowed down, the ship of Guotong Prefecture also slowed down. The two ships were almost running side by side, and they were getting closer and closer.
The Admiral sighed: "This matter is difficult to handle."
The man in gray emphasized: "It must be done."
The admiral pointed to the ship on the opposite side that was slowly approaching them, pointed to the flag on it and said, "Sir, do you know what flag this is?"
The man in gray clothes raised his head and murmured: "Qingzhou Mu family?"
"Obviously, you got the news that the man was going to Three Snake Island by boat to the east, but you didn't know what kind of boat he got on. The nine cities of Qingzhou are autonomous, go up to Wuzhou Prefecture, and go directly to Tianqi
, just because these nine cities represent the wealth of the entire Tianqi. And the Mu family of Yunjian City is the richest man in Qingzhou, not because he is the richest, but because he is the current leader of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as he is willing, believe it or not
Next year, half of the people in Gaocheng Mansion will become refugees?" The Admiral sighed, "We can't fight."
Mu Chunfeng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the two boats that were slowly approaching, without any intention of avoiding them. His eyes were firm: "Although I don't like to use my status to pressure others, my father often told me,
Being a human being is like doing business, sometimes you have to give in, sometimes you can’t take a step back.”
The Mu family flag overhead sounded in the wind, Xiao Se smiled slightly: "The current head of the Mu family in Qingzhou is indeed worthy of admiration."
"Got a story?" Lei Wujie asked curiously.
"My Mu family used to be a wealthy family in Qingzhou. In my grandfather's generation, the family fell into disarray due to being raped by an adulterer. My father once only ran a small pharmacy. Later, my father revitalized the family and became a cloud again.
The richest man in the city, he ordered someone to make a new family flag. The Phoenix Yu Fei flag has been the family flag of the Mu family for hundreds of years, but the one-character flag was newly made by my father. We rarely hang it up, but when we hang it up, it is according to my father's instructions.
There is only one meaning."
"What do you mean?" Lei Wujie asked.
"Let others know how to write the word Mu!" Mu Chunfeng suddenly pulled out the Dong Qianshan from his waist. The sea water was turbulent, and he was filled with unspeakable pride.
Everyone present could not help but admire the magnanimity of the head of the Mu family and the entire Mu family.
"Very close." The man in gray said slowly.
The Admiral put his hand on the long sword at his waist. The target was still far away. Of course, he did not need to draw the sword to meet the enemy. If he drew the sword, it could only be to issue an order.
Attacking the Mu family's ship in Qingzhou? The Admiral smiled bitterly: "Do you really don't have to consider the consequences?"
The man in gray said solemnly: "If you die in the vast sea, who knows it was us."
The Admiral looked at the Guotongfu official ship not far away: "They know."
The man in gray had a fierce look in his eyes: "So we can also say that they did it."
The Admiral shook his head: "I have dealt with Qingzhou Mu Mansion. With the way their current head of the family does things, if he can't tell who is right from wrong, he will make it difficult for both families to survive."
The man in gray hesitated for a long time when he heard the words, and finally said slowly: "Fire the arrow."
"Gaocheng Mansion will pay a heavy price for this." The Admiral knew in his heart that he might not be able to convince the other party anymore.
