The ship goes all the way south, except for stopping at two ports to purchase daily necessities. It basically does not stop and requires walking on the river for more than ten days.
But this time is different from usual. Although we rarely dock, we often encounter passing ships.
Every time, someone would leave the boat and someone would get on the boat, making it extremely busy. The journey was also delayed a lot.
Qing Gong's people were also in the process of exchanging. More powerful people came and the informants left.
Not to mention Linghu Feng, he is the busiest on the entire ship. You can see him everywhere, working very hard.
In addition, Master Chen is also delivering news.
The news that Bai Yan had an imperial edict also worried him.
After all, he was not on the court's wanted list. If Bai Yan died in his hands, he would not be able to show his face like he is now.
His people are also walking, passing news everywhere.
Everyone on the boat was busy, as if a storm was about to come.
Only Bai Yan lived in seclusion as usual.
He didn't go to Qing Gong, he knew Qing Gong could handle it.
He walked around the boat twice every day to observe the changes on the boat.
The people on the ship change every day, and there are new faces every day.
As the ship headed south, everyone along the way knew that Bai Yan had a secret order from the Ming Emperor.
The news even spread back to Yanzhou City, causing a great sensation.
The prefect of Qin was ashen-faced and wished he could kill all those who spread the news.
"I've met Master Yanhuo."
In the early morning of this day, when Bai Yan was wandering around as usual, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
He looked over and saw that it was a businessman from Beidi named Xiao Zhen.
He had met his father once or twice before, but was not too familiar with him.
"Is something wrong?" Bai Yan responded indifferently.
"Master Yanhuo, I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to ask if it's safe on the boat. Don't worry, Master Yanhuo, I have no intention of testing. It's just that I have a wife, children and mother at home who are waiting for me to return. If I die
They are afraid that they will live on the streets. And the guys like me are the backbone of the family. If they die, not just one or two people will die..." Xiao Zhen said bitterly.
They are all businessmen and are extremely sensitive, and they can see the changes in the past few days.
They, the merchants, had long been restless, but it was not that easy to get on the ship and leave.
Even if they get to the dock, what if someone intercepts and kills them on the way because they are worried that they have leaked the information?
Compared with these big shots on the ship, the lives of merchants and common people are really cheap.
"Since you can see it, why bother asking me? If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have time to waste with you." Bai Yan said angrily.
"Then let me tell you frankly, Master Yanhuo, we will arrive at Jibei Pier tomorrow and we want to leave. But I'm afraid some people don't want to let us leave and want to seek protection from Mr. Yanhuo."
After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he took out a box from his pocket, which contained all banknotes.
"You're sensible, but why are you looking for me?" Bai Yan asked curiously.
"Because you are the strongest and the calmest. There are many experts on the ship, but they don't care about other people's affairs. You are the only one who hangs out on the ship every day. Although we don't know if you are an insider, you are the only one who can help me.
.Of course, the most important thing is, I can see that you are not afraid of those people, but those people are afraid of you. You are the strongest."
"Hahaha! It sounds nice, I like it very much. I promise you!"
Bai Yan laughed loudly and looked at Qinggong's room and Master Chen's room respectively.
"Arrogant!"
Master Chen snorted coldly, feeling very unhappy.
"This is a good method. The more arrogant you are, the harder it is to be exposed. Even if you are found out that you are not a martial artist, you will feel that you are a liar and will not take it seriously." Mr. Yuan praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you, senior."
Xiao Zhen left with a lot of gratitude.
He also took the banknote with him, but Bai Yan didn't ask for it.
In the early morning of the next day, people on the boat started busy packing their bags.
Near noon, when the ship docked, Bai Yan also walked out of the room and sat on the dock, watching Xiao Zhen and other businessmen leave.
His attitude is very clear: he wants to protect these people. Anyone who makes things difficult for these people is making things difficult for him.
As he expected, no one showed up. Whether it was Master Chen or Mr. Yuan, they all acquiesced to his existence.
After watching Xiao Zhen and others leave, Bai Yan stood up and prepared to return to the room.
At this moment, a figure attracted Bai Yan's attention.
It was a slender woman with long hair tied up and holding a sword in her hand.
"Warrior? Woman?"
Bai Yan saw this person's disguise at a glance. This was not a man, but a woman.
He is also a powerful martial artist, and his aura is even more powerful than Mr. Yuan's.
After becoming a half-step martial artist, Bai Yan's perception became more and more obvious.
"Interesting, wearing red clothes, I'm afraid it's for Master Yanhuo."
Everyone on the boat watched the excitement.
Bai Yan was wearing a red dress, and this person was also wearing a red dress.
Both of them are fair-skinned young men, so they stand out among the crowd.
What disappointed everyone was that the woman did not cause any trouble to Bai Yan. She just glanced at Bai Yan and entered the cabin.
Naturally, Bai Yan would not ask for trouble, but just watched the woman leave.
On the contrary, Linghu Feng looked excited and came to ask for credit from Bai Yan.
"Senior, I really didn't expect that the Blood Rakshasa would come and Bai Yan would be dead."
"Oh? Have a grudge against the imperial court?" Bai Yan asked.
He doesn't know this Blood Rakshasa.
"Yes. It is said that this Blood Rakshasa was hurt by a prince. After becoming a martial artist, he sought revenge on that prince several times. In the end, no one was killed, and he was tricked by that prince and almost died.
But with hatred, Bai Yan can't even die without him." Linghu Feng introduced passionately.
"This is best."
Bai Yan responded calmly, but his heart became much more solemn.
Another martial arts master, even close to the existence of a thousand masters. He is a half-step martial arts master, which is really not enough.
He must become a martial artist as soon as possible to be able to cope with the next battle.
After bidding farewell to Linghu Feng, Bai Yan returned to his room and started the retreat martial arts mode again.
In Mr. Yuan's words, there is no shortcut to practicing martial arts, and he didn't understand the mystery and thought of a better way.
Therefore, he can only use the most basic methods to improve his strength.
Linghu Feng didn't know what Bai Yan was thinking and didn't care.
He is still busy and making arrangements nervously.
At the same time, more and more eyes were focused on the big ship, and more and more warriors boarded the ship.
The new arrivals, like the Blood Rakshasa, did not say hello to anyone and bought a room to live in.
So many people don't know who they are with and what their purpose is.
