"That's right, we happened to be on our way." Ye Gucheng still looked like that bad guy. He wanted to board their ship with just one word.
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes. After all, our operation can be regarded as a secret operation. There are people who see us off at the dock, and there are also people who go out to sea to get tickets and boats. So is this secret an open secret?
Ye Gucheng's swordsman here has already started to move luggage and other things to the boat. Ye Gucheng said slowly, "It's important for people to know themselves. There are so many martial arts masters in the city now. General Li's whereabouts have never been a secret."
Zuo Zhou was a little funny. What the other person said sounded like a compliment to him, but why did it feel so awkward?
"Even if it's not a secret, I have to act like it's a secret. If outsiders don't understand me, they think I'm inscrutable."
Ye Gucheng obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Zuo Zhou and walked straight to the boat.
The big ship that Zhu Wuli prepared followed the style of Ming Dynasty naval warships. It looked tall and strong, and it is estimated that ordinary water bandits would give up when they saw it from a distance.
Zuo Zhou didn't mean to stop him, so he entered the cabin with Liu Shengpiaoxu in his arms. Shangguan Haitang stood on the deck and waved goodbye to Cheng Shifei. Watching the ship go away, Cheng Shifei's lonely figure also gradually disappeared.
in the distance.
Zuo Zhou settled Liu Sheng and Piaoxu on the deck and immediately saw the sentimental Shangguan Haitang. "If you really can't bear it, just get married. What are you worrying about?"
"Don't marry."
When Zuozhou heard this, he was so determined. He couldn't help but curiously asked, "Why don't you get married?"
"When I was still a secret agent, I never thought about the day I would get married. After all, a life of licking blood from a knife's edge was not suitable for starting a family. Later, I stopped being a secret agent. I just wanted to find a satisfactory person and live the rest of my life peacefully.
"
"Is this satisfactory person going to return to the sea with a sword?"
"I used to think it was, but it's a pity that the fate has ended."
Zuo Zhou suddenly realized, "It was during that time that you thought about simply going along with it. Then why did you regret it later?"
Shangguan Haitang shook his head. "Maybe it was fate. Just when I felt relieved, Zhu Wuwu stuffed a few noble daughters into his backyard. I know those women. Although there is no legitimate daughter.
She also has the name of a girl who is knowledgeable, polite and dignified."
Zuo Zhou frowned. What a coincidence that the timing was stuck. Zuo Zhou didn't say it clearly. But based on his understanding of Zhu Wuli, this matter may not be big or small, but it's not trivial either. After all, Zhu Wuli only has one person in name now.
Prince. In addition, even if you are a concubine, you always have to go through the etiquette that is expected of a concubine. Just sending the betrothal gift and engagement letter to calculate the horoscopes and other things can drag on for half a month. But now it is just stuck on returning home.
Hai Yidao died, the critical moment when Shangguan Haitang's heart was moved. He dared to make a bet with anyone. This was definitely done by that old cunt Zhu Yingli.
"So you were stimulated and took on this task."
"Not really, I can only say that I am going with the flow. After I complete this task, I will not go back to the Ming Dynasty. From now on, I will be free and happy. I will follow the fate."
Zuo Zhou nodded. It was rare for him to see such an open-minded girl. "Okay, let's get to know each other. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me and I will try my best to help you.
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Squeak, the sound of opening the door came from the cabin. Zuo Zhou and Shangguan Haitang looked back. Ye Gucheng climbed onto the deck with a sword and turned to look to the left. A cargo ship gradually appeared in the distance. Three figures stood on the deck.
, the one among them seemed quite enthusiastic, waving to them from a distance.
With Zuo Zhou's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that it was not Xie Xun, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing.
When the ship approached, Sikong Zhaixing jumped on board first, opened his arms to Zuo Zhou, and gave him a warm hug.
"Hey, I'm not interested in men. We don't have any friendship. Try not to stick to each other."
Sikong Zhaixing was not embarrassed at all. He just laughed and said, "Master Li, you are serious. After all, we were officials in the same dynasty back then. It is reasonable and reasonable for us to send off our old friends."
Zuo Zhou didn't bother to look at him. He was an official in the same dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, Zuo Zhou was a general, Sikong Zhaixing, and at best an auxiliary policeman, with no formal establishment.
Turning to look at Lu Xiaofeng, "You haven't returned to Da Qin?"
"I'm about to go back, but I just came to see Xie Xun off. He wants to go back to the Yuan Kingdom."
Everyone looked at Xie Xun. He nodded to Zuo Zhou and continued: "I don't have any money with me. There aren't many cargo ships going to the Yuan Kingdom, so I'll just take your ship."
Xie Xun is one of the few who knows about the relationship between Zuo Zhou and Jiang Yuyan. Now he hides it very well in front of everyone.
Zuo Zhou was happy. "Okay, anyway, you're not the only one on my boat who wants tickets. I'm not sending a few people as gifts." Then he turned his attention to Lu Xiaofeng, "What are you going to do next? It's not going to chaos.
Zhiyu, right?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. "Things in the Chaos Realm are indeed difficult. But my reputation is well known. This matter is not suitable for me to intervene. I have other things to investigate."
Zuo Zhou didn't ask much. After all, he was no longer a general of the Qin Dynasty. Many people still called him General Li. But that was because no one dared to give him random nicknames because they were afraid of Zuo Zhou's strength. So he still called him General Li.
The previous honorific was used.
"Come on, the sea is very rough. Everyone should go back. Don't let the two ships get close to each other and capsize us." Zuo Zhou waved his hands impatiently. Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing didn't say that they were being shameless.
Putting aside the idea of asking for a drink, he turned around and jumped to the deck of his ship.
The two of them waved at the same time and watched Zuo Zhou and others leave from a distance. Then they said with a serious face and a low voice, "Xie Xun doesn't want us to send him back to the Yuan Kingdom, but he is wary of us."
Sikong Zhaixing nodded, "The intelligence organization supported by Xie Xun is powerful. Even more powerful than the Demon Sect. Although on the surface it seems that their power is concentrated in the Qing Kingdom, overseas and Ming Kingdom, etc., it still cannot be ruled out that they are also present in Great Qin.
people."
"This matter is not a trivial matter. The Green Dragon Society was finally eliminated over the border, but monsters appeared to implicate Da Qin's troops. Now there is an unknown intelligence organization infiltrating Da Qin. If they are not found out, people will think that Da Qin is easy to bully.
If you make trouble, how can you wait until the new emperor grows up?"
Sikong Zhaixing continued with a worried look on his face: "Xie Xun abandoned us. Under the guise of taking a boat, do you think there will be any of his accomplices on the boat?"
Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "Probably not. Li Yuanfang's biological mother is the master of the Demon Sect. Although the Demon Sect is our intelligence organization in Da Qin, if he wants any information, Zhu Yuyan will not hide it from him. He has no reason to join.
Other intelligence organizations."
"Shangguan Haitang was once a secret agent of Hulong Villa. When Zhu Wuli cleaned up Hulong Villa, he had already cleaned up everything that needed to be done. Shangguan Haitang had no chance of being recruited by any intelligence team."
"As for Liu Shengpiaoxu, who has now become Li Yuanfang's vassal, it is not worth mentioning. As for Ye Gucheng..."
Lu Xiaofeng paused for a while. Of course Sikong Zhaixing understood what he meant. Ye Gucheng has lived overseas for a long time. He has a sense of mystery and strength. He just ended the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. It is the most prestigious person.
When it is thick. If he wants to do anything at this time, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Let's see, you and I turn the boat around and go to Feixian Island. Using our skills to stimulate the waves, we should be able to reach Feixian Island before them. Let's go to the island to investigate first. Are there any problems with Ye Gucheng?"
"That's fine."
…
"City Lord Ye's talent is really enviable. It has only been less than a day since he was promoted to the place rankings, but he has already solidified his foundation. It's amazing."
Zuo Zhou said and poured a glass of wine for Ye Gucheng. In fact, the two of them should have drank this glass of wine a long time ago. When he met Ye Gucheng for the first time, he obviously wanted to make friends with him. It was a pity that after a move of flying immortals from the sky,
He said, "It's too dazzling," which made the other party angry.
At that time, Ye Gucheng was willing to befriend him because he thought he knew swordsmanship. Now he is willing to befriend him because Ye Gucheng has reached the level of the Earth Ranking. He regards Zuo Zhou as a master of the same level.
"General Li is overly praised. If you don't reach the level of the Earth Ranking, it would be difficult to understand how powerful General Li is."
"Hahahahaha, I appreciate it, but I don't know why City Lord Ye is so anxious to return to Feixian Island? Why don't you stay and exchange sword intentions with Ximen Chuixue?"
Ye Gucheng shook his head when he heard this. Looking at the curious eyes of the people around him, he had no intention of hiding it.
"This battle is inconclusive and we have set a date for another fight. Although there is still a lot of time, I am still a little nervous."
Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment. "Why do these words sound inconsistent? What do you mean there is still a lot of time? Are you nervous?"
Ye Gucheng replied: "It is really difficult to advance on the Earth Ranking. Even if the two of us spend decades, we may not be able to improve much compared to now. Winning or losing is meaningless to us. Sharpening the sword is the top priority.
If we only rely on a little bit of improvement, it won't be of much help to each other. We simply found another way and changed the duel method."
"What method? Everyone can't help but be curious."
Ye Gucheng said: "Our duel is scheduled to take place 15 years later, and our disciples or descendants will continue this competition."
Everyone was startled and looked at each other. Zuo Zhou almost spat out a mouthful of water and tried to hold back his laughter. Ximen Chuixue was so shady. How talented was his daughter in kendo? She also said she didn't care about winning or losing. Old Ye
, you are too naive.
Ye Gucheng didn't notice Zuo Zhou's sympathetic eyes, and just said: "If two other people who are studying pure swordsmanship are allowed to fight, there is indeed a high chance that we will also understand by analogy. It's just that I have not stopped practicing swordsmanship before.
Let alone marry a wife and have children. 15 years is really a bit stressful for me."
Zuo Zhou coughed a few times and asked with a smile: "Then do you plan to go back to Feixian Island immediately to recruit a few apprentices and teach them to practice swordsmanship? Or do you want to find a few swordsmen to serve as your bedside servants and give birth to a few children with your strong bloodline?
"
Ye Gucheng was confused by these words. He really thought so before. But when these words were said by an outsider, he felt a little unreliable. First of all, there are indeed many swordsmen on Feixian Island, and some of them are beautiful.
However, the swordsman's talent in swordsmanship is really average. If he takes them as his disciples, he may not be able to achieve anything great. As for having children... To be honest, he looks down on those swordsmen. He is thinking about his mother's bloodline.
It should also be very important. If it affects the potential of the child born, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
