Chen Yunsheng was at a loss when his opponent suddenly surrendered. He didn't know whether to kill them all or just give up. After thinking for a while, he said: "The power behind Jixiang Pavilion is actually Hongxiu. This organization has very long tentacles."
Wen Xiangsou was not surprised that Chen Yunsheng knew about Red Sleeves. Anyone in the world who didn't know about Red Sleeves should be surprised.
"The red sleeves can be found in every corner of Qingzhou because we know the current affairs and try our best to cater to the powerful instead of provoking them. Today's incident should be explained as a misunderstanding." Wen Xiangsou explained his cowardice without embarrassment, as if this was a problem for him.
It doesn't matter at all.
"What if I don't accept your apology?" Chen Yunsheng said coldly.
Wen Xiangsou thought for a while and said, "Before you take action, let me ask you a question. In Jixiang Pavilion, I heard you asking Beigong Qianyi about going to sea. Did I hear you correctly?" Wen Xiangsou suddenly asked.
Such words shocked Chen Yunsheng again.
"It seems you not only have a good nose, but also have good ears."
Wen Xiangsou smiled and said: "When you asked Beigong Qianyi, you must have asked the Beihai Ship Alliance. You must have asked Beigong after you did not get a satisfactory answer. The two of you are not bad in cultivation. I don't know if the Ship Alliance has
Didn’t I invite you to join the hunt?”
Chen Yunsheng became alert and said expressionlessly: "What does this matter have to do with you?"
Wen Xiangsou's smile became even weirder, "Of course it does matter. I can't bear a flower to wither early in the season when it should bloom the most. Hongxiu has gathered beauties all over the world, and they all love beauty. Neither I nor Hongxiu want to see it.
Any beautiful woman becomes a bone."
"You'd better explain this matter clearly. The clearer the explanation, the easier it will be for us to forgive your offense." Chen Yunsheng became more and more confused as he listened.
Wen Xiangsou kept it secret and said: "If you want to go to Zhizhou, you might as well cooperate with Hongxiu. It just has to wait three months. We will have a fleet with Zhizhou as the destination. I don't mind letting them take it with you then."
you."
Chen Yunsheng gradually raised his long sword, and the light of the Kirin Slash in the wind and snow melted the snowflakes, "I'll give you another chance to tell the truth."
Wen Xiangsou smiled lightly and said: "Young man, put away your useless threats. This is a kind warning. Stay away from the hunting of the Beihai Ship Alliance."
After saying that, his body quickly fled backwards, dodging a few times before completely disappearing into the wind and snow.
Chen Yunsheng did not pursue him. He deeply recalled Wen Xiangsou's warning and found that he was at a fork in the road. There were two roads ahead, one leading to the Beihai Ship Alliance, and the other to cooperate with the unreliable Hongxiu.
The road ahead is bleak, as if each has its own risks.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Xiaoshan came to Chen Yunsheng lightly, making no sound, like a puff of air.
"Go to the shipping union tomorrow to see if you can see any clues from the other party's tone of voice." Chen Yunsheng replied.
The two of them were not returning to Yunpeng Inn. Someone must have placed a ban on the inn. Although Wen Xiangsou had escaped, it was still unclear whether the ban had been activated. Even if Chen Yunsheng was good at breaking formations, there was no need to take risks again.
As they walked forward along the street, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the wind howled, but it could not stop the two of them from moving forward. Liu Xiaoshan waved his hand gently, and a wall formed in front of them, blocking the snowflakes and the north wind.
before the wall.
After crossing two streets, they came to another inn, but Liu Xiaoshan was reluctant to go in. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yunsheng saw that she was dancing gracefully on the snow, like an ice and snow elf. When she waved her long sleeves, she brought up large snowflakes.
, the snowflakes draw delicate arcs along with her sleeves, and the whole picture is breathtakingly beautiful.
After the dance, Liu Xiaoshan came to Chen Yunsheng with reddish cheeks, calmed his breathing slightly, and said with a smile: "Where can I see such heavy snow in Jinsha? I danced on a whim, you won't laugh at me."
Chen Yunsheng came back to his senses from the dance that was just like a startling dragon, narrowed his eyes, and said with great enjoyment: "I asked why those powerful people are willing to watch people dance. Not only single people dance, but also group dances
, it turns out that this thing is so enjoyable.”
Liu Xiaoshan said a little embarrassedly: "If you like it, I will show it to you when I have nothing to do. Ritual and music are compulsory for princesses in Jinsha. I was very disgusted when I learned it, but now it seems that it is not useless.
.”
The two of them walked into the inn, paid the room fee, and went inside to rest. They spent the night without talking. In the early morning of the next day, the sky brightened, and the sunlight was reflected by the white snow. It was particularly dazzling, illuminating the house brightly.
After breakfast, the two came to the Beihai Shipping Alliance. Bian Xi was receiving a guest. The two waited for a while before the middle-aged steward came to them with a smile on his face.
"How is it? How are you two thinking?" Bian Xi had a smile on his face.
"Except for the two of us, have you recruited all the other eight people?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
Bian Xi nodded and said: "You two don't have to worry about this matter. There are only two places left for this operation, and the other eight people are all present. If you are worried, you might as well arrange for you to meet each other and see their strength.
It’s not too late to make a final conclusion.”
"It's best to do this. After all, going out to sea to hunt whales is somewhat dangerous."
"This afternoon, if you come again, I will arrange for the ten of you to meet each other. It will be helpful for us to cooperate after everyone gets to know each other."
"We are not agreeing to your request. After meeting the eight of them, we may still refuse. I hope you understand this." Chen Yunsheng said the ugly words before him.
Bian Xi nodded and said, "I know this. The hunt must be successful only if both parties are willing to do it. If we don't trust each other, the risk will be much greater when we actually face the sea beast."
Somehow, Chen Yunsheng always felt that Bian Xi made him feel at ease no matter what he said or did. He seemed to be an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. Every word he said spoke to his heart. This made him start to consider joining the Beihai Shipping Alliance.
.After all, Hongxiu had plotted against him before, and he didn't have any good impressions of this organization when he was in the East China Sea. They were trying to smear the Ship Alliance to lure him into joining their plan. I'm afraid they were still obsessed with Liu Xiaoshan.
The two said goodbye to Bian Xi and casually found a teahouse outside the Beihai Shipping Alliance to pass the time. Liu Xiaoshan was the first to ask: "Have you decided to join the Beihai Shipping Alliance?"
Chen Yunsheng nodded and said: "We seem to have no reason to reject them. I want to hear your suggestions."
Liu Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with a cunning light, "You know, I have been trapped in the palace for so long, so naturally I don't hate the excitement. The more lively the journey, the better. When I went out, my father and brothers gave me a lot of self-defense items.
Unless we encounter a monk at the level of a god, we will have no problem protecting ourselves."
"We are making a decision after meeting the eight monks this afternoon." Chen Yunsheng still remained cautious. Years of habit made him not trust people easily.
The two chatted casually for a few words, and then saw some monks with advanced cultivations walking into the Beihai Ship Alliance one after another on the road. They all had high-grade golden elixirs. They seemed to be the beast hunters that Bian Xi mentioned. Among the many people, Chen Yun
The student saw a figure. His eyes started to straighten. That person was an acquaintance who once chased him almost to a dead end. That person was Jin Guang.
This former guest of the Sitian Pavilion now felt a little depressed. His dull blond hair was like dry branches in the cold wind, and his eyes were staring straight ahead, without the confident look he had in those days.
Not long after Jinguang entered the Beihai Ship Alliance, two monks from the lower level of Nascent Soul followed him in one after another. The two men walked with similar expressions and seemed to come from the same sect.
After another moment of burning incense, a man wrapped in black cloth walked into the boat alliance. Before entering the room, he seemed to have noticed someone peeping at him. He turned his head to look at Chen Yunsheng, and their eyes intertwined in the air.
For a moment, Chen Yunsheng felt a sense of déjà vu.
Behind the man wrapped in black cloth followed a monk who looked like a servant, and his cultivation level also looked like a low-grade Nascent Soul. After a long time, no more golden elixir monks came and went. Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan left the teahouse together and walked into the boat alliance.
Bian Xi stood at the counter with a bit of anxiety on his face. He was obviously impatient to wait. When he saw Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Everyone is already here, except you two. Please come over here."
Walk."
Turning from a path to the back house, Chen Yunsheng saw eight monks in a large house. In addition to the five he saw before, there were three rugged men wearing fur coats sitting on stools. These three people
Their faces were full of anger and their eyes were fierce, and they didn't look like a kind person. It seemed that the cultivation levels of the three of them were all high-grade golden elixirs.
When Jin Guang saw Chen Yunsheng walking into the house, his expression changed slightly and returned to normal. Chen Yunsheng nodded to him generously, but the other person lowered his head and did not respond. The man in black was looking up and down.
He looked at Chen Yunsheng dozens of times and seemed to be extremely interested in him.
Bian Xi began to introduce them one by one. He pointed at two middle-aged men wearing coarse robes who were lower-ranking Nascent Souls and said: "These two casual cultivators from Lingyang Kingdom, one is named Yin Wencheng and the other is named Yin Wenhui."
He then pointed to the man in black and the servant and said: "These two are from Pilu Kingdom, one is Shen Xing and the other is Yongkai."
The man wrapped in black cloth stood up, walked to Chen Yunsheng, clasped his fists and said, "Shen Xing has met you."
Hearing the other party's voice, Chen Yunsheng's body trembled slightly. The voice was so familiar. He looked carefully at the other party's eyes. Those eyes were full of smiles. This person was clearly Kitamiya Qianyi, whom he had met twice a few days ago.
.
Chen Yunsheng did not reveal the other party's false identity, and he clasped his fists smoothly and said: "That makes sense, let's go to Nantian." The two of them looked at each other and smiled with a tacit understanding.
Bian Xi then introduced. Through his introduction, Chen Yunsheng knew that the three tough men came from Zhang Han Country, where they were three famous casual cultivators. They were known locally as the Three Strong Men of the Wen Family, Wen Boss, Wen Lao Er, and Wen Lao.
three.
Jin Guang did not change his name and was still called Jin Guang. After everyone was introduced, Bian Xi stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Yunsheng with a smile on his face and said: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the lineup for this hunt?"
