After extinguishing the candle, Zhuo Mufeng lay on the bed with his hands on the pillow, thinking about how to implement the plan.
Although the plan has a vague outline, when we really look into it, we have to face too many difficulties. First of all, how to approach the man in the yellow shirt without making anyone suspicious?
If the other party is really the cloaked man, this alone is enough to cause a headache.
Even if you overcome this difficulty, what reason should you use to go with the cloaked man next? Otherwise, even if you call in all the cutting-edge forces of your side, he will not even have a shadow, and you are still embarrassed!
We also need to find out what kind of forces are around the cloaked man. With his scheming attitude, he cannot be defenseless along the way. How can he divide the people around him?
In short, the problems came one after another, and just thinking about it gave me a headache. It would be nice if Uncle Lou was here. Shaking his head, Zhuo Mufeng knew that he could not be discouraged.
As he said himself, this accident was absolutely a piece of pie in the sky. It would only happen once. Even if he was tired and racked his brains, he would still have to overcome every difficulty!
Zhuo Mufeng didn't close his eyes the whole night. It wasn't until the cockcrow that he rubbed the corners of his tired eyes. Finally, he simply got up, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the room, and wrote down all his thoughts that night.
.Frowning again, he re-examined these ideas and revised them from time to time.
He was busy until around chen o'clock, then he put down his pen and took a long stretch.
With his martial arts, he would not be tired even if he did not rest for several days and nights, but the consumption of this night actually made him feel slightly dizzy. It can only be said that the pressure placed on him by his opponent was too great, so much that he repeated the deductions
The plan was kept until his brain power could no longer think of any flaws.
But to be honest, Zhuo Mufeng had no idea whether this plan could be implemented smoothly, so he could only go all out.
There were footsteps outside the room. Zhuo Mufeng put a few pages of densely packed rice paper on the candle to burn them before saying, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Barong and Fang Xiaodie walked in after washing up. Seeing curled fly ash in the air, they couldn't help but be stunned, but they didn't ask. When they saw that Zhuo Mufeng was the only one in the room, the two of them immediately
They looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Before he could speak, Zhuo Mufeng had already made a gesture, and the doubts in their eyes deepened. Zhuo Mufeng wrote on the table with tea: "Don't ask any more questions, follow me down to pay the bill."
After washing up, Zhuo Mufeng led the two of them downstairs, to the lobby to check out quickly, and then left the inn. It wasn't until they left Qingbo City that Zhuo Mufeng asked: "Do you still have Zhiweiniao's fragrant pills with you?
?”
The two Ba Fang people, who were silent and did not dare to speak, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Barong immediately replied: "Yes."
"Okay, you can sprinkle some along the way so that Yao Wu and the others won't be able to keep up with us." Zhuo Mufeng said calmly.
The more they heard, the more something was wrong. Not only did the mistress and others disappear, but the young master seemed to have other plans, but he left the city in a hurry and invited Yao Wu and others to come. The young master looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
What happened?
Without waiting for the two to ask for answers, Zhuo Mufeng took the initiative to tell everything, which really made the two of them change their expressions. When it came to the cloaked man, the other man was also suspected of possessing unparalleled martial arts. No wonder the young master would be like this.
No matter how hard they thought, they would never have imagined that such an unexpected encounter would happen during this trip to the South China Sea.
It is said that when the king fails to see the king, the trend of the world's great struggle gradually becomes clear. Basically, the cloaked man and his own son are competing for the Central Plains. The strength of the men of both sides has not been truly matched, but I encountered it first?
If we can take the opportunity to kill the cloaked man this time, the young master's chances of seizing the world will undoubtedly increase greatly. Thinking of this, both Barong and Fang Xiaodie's faces turned red, nervous and excited.
Fang Xiaodie couldn't wait to say: "I would like to ask you to clarify your plan. Even if my senior brother and I are asked to go to the mountains and sea, we should do our best to do it for you!"
Barong echoed: "Master, hurry up and give the order!"
Looking at the loyal looks of the two people, Zhuo Mufeng nodded secretly. Now he is powerful and powerful in the southeast, has countless subordinates, and has a group of confidants. But no matter how the situation changes, these two people are his confidants.
Anyone could betray him, but not the two in front of him.
Regardless of success or failure in the future, when everything is settled, we will cure their mandarin duck poison. Zhuo Mufeng silently made a decision and said: "If my conclusion is true, then the cloaked man must be heading to the South China Sea.
The wharf of Qingbo City is now listed as a military location, and it is impossible for him to go there. Only the Baojin City wharf is available nearby, so we must rush to Baojin City first and wait there to avoid being suspected by him."
Barong and Fang Xiaodie heard this and nodded repeatedly.
"What I'm worried about now is how to set up a secret code when we get to the sea so that Yao Wu and the others can follow. Do you have any ideas?" Zhuo Mufeng asked in a deep voice.
Fang Xiaodie suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, sir, the scented bird is looking for the smell, not the pills. My senior brother and I can try to extract the power of the fragrant pills and spread them in the sea water. Although some of them may be taken away by some sea creatures,
But the overall route will not deviate, and with the ability of Zhiweiniao, we will not make any mistakes."
"Okay!" After solving a big problem, Zhuo Mufeng's confidence also increased a bit. He raised his whip and drove his horse to gallop on the official road. The two people from Ba Fang looked at each other and followed closely. The dust under the hoofs of the three horses
Flying in the wind, when the dust disperses, the sound of hoofbeats is far away.
From Qingbo City to Baojin City, it was a journey of several days, and the three of them completed it in one day. When they arrived at the dock, they saw ships of various sizes, lined up side by side. There were businessmen, warriors, and scribes waiting on the shore from time to time.
On and off the ship, there were also crew members and boatmen soliciting business, and the noise was endless.
The three of them were not confused about which ship the man in yellow would choose.
If the other party comes for Qingxiaobi, they must first reach Luoyan Sect, and Luoyan Sect is deep in the South China Sea and cannot be reached by ordinary ships. Even if he is not afraid of wind and waves with his martial arts, he still has to consider the people around him, right? What about food and drink?
What to do? A group of people are crowded into a small boat, and it is inconvenient to even get out.
The Luoyan Sect has been standing overseas for many years. Many supplies need to be transported by land, and the weather at sea is unpredictable. It also takes many years of exploration to draw the route.
Therefore, before setting off, Balong, the intelligence chief, had already investigated clearly that the Luoyan Sect had been cooperating with a water transportation gang called the Jusha Gang all year round, and the ships under the Jusha Gang transported various supplies back and forth.
Not only that, all the major sects in the South China Sea are concentrated in a large sea area, so the Giant Shark Gang also has business dealings with other sects. In the Baojin City area, there were other water transport gangs who tried to get a share of the pie in the past, but unfortunately they were all slowly annexed by the Giant Shark Gang.
.
As long as the man in yellow shirt comes here, he must be on the boat of the Giant Shark Gang.
The three of Zhuo Mufeng arrived at the end of the pier. Several large ships were parked here, each of which was tens of meters long and more than ten meters wide. The ship buildings were divided into several floors and were luxuriously decorated. At a glance, they were separated from other ships on the pier.
grade.
The number of people who come here is obviously much smaller than that of other places. But Zhuo Mufeng knows that the money earned by Jusha Gang from one trip is probably more than the other ship dealers at the pier combined.
Transporting people is not the main business of the Giant Shark Gang, it is just a matter of passing along, while transporting goods is the big part.
Some disciples of the Jusha Gang were carrying goods up and down, working in full swing. Zhuo Mufeng and the others did not approach, but sat down in a tea shed by the dock and ordered three bowls of noodles.
After eating, Barong came forward to negotiate with the Jusha Gang people as planned. They learned that the boat carrying people would leave in three days. The three of them were secretly happy. In this way, there was no need to find reasons to delay, and
Eliminate unnecessary suspicion.
Two days passed by in a flash, with a few rainy spells in between.
Zhuo Mufeng and the other three didn't go to the pier often, and going too often could leave holes. The so-called coincidence had to be just right. In order to successfully approach the man in yellow shirt, he couldn't let anyone catch him.
Therefore, Zhuo Mufeng has been hiding in the dark for the past two days to observe, and he is also afraid that his estimation will be wrong. If the man in yellow shirt does not play according to the routine, it will be great fun.
Seeing that the big ship was about to set off at noon tomorrow, but there was still no sign of the man in yellow shirt and his party, the three of them began to get anxious. Could it be that something went wrong, or was it that the man in yellow shirt was not in a hurry and was still on the way?
"Sir, why don't you reschedule?" Barong suggested.
Zhuo Mufeng's expression was not very good: "We must not do this unless we have to. The cloaked man is famous for his caution. If he asks someone to investigate beforehand, our behavior will definitely attract attention."
What he is worried about now is not this, but that the man in yellow shirt has gone elsewhere. Because he suspects that the man in the cloak is the man in the cloak, Zhuo Mufeng does not dare to let the Eagle Eye members from all over the country follow him.
Knowing the situation, I can only sit and wait.
"Let's see again. If you don't come tomorrow..." Zhuo Mufeng stopped talking because he didn't know what to say.
If you guess wrong about the identity of the man in the yellow shirt, that's it. At best, it's just an empty scene. But if you guess right, the encounter at the pier is the most crucial scene of the whole plan. Without this scene, or the performance will not be successful,
Stop talking about everything!
However, in this scene, there was not much room for Zhuo Mufeng to stretch out his hand. He was afraid that if he stretched out his hand even slightly, he would be exposed to suspicion. Facing the cloaked man, Zhuo Mufeng did not dare to slack off in any way.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest can only be left to chance. This is the most helpless and anxious part.
Zhuo Mufeng sighed: "Let's go to the dock tomorrow and have a look. If people don't come yet, we'll have to find a way to drag it away."
Fang Xiaodie whispered: "What if people don't come to the dock at all?"
The atmosphere in the room was stagnant, and Balong quickly winked at Fang Xiaodie. Zhuo Mufeng didn't pay attention, but said bitterly: "If you don't come, there is nothing you can do. Although this opportunity is rare, it may not be possible.
catch."
That night, the three of them didn't sleep. After washing up the next day, they covered their tired faces and arrived at the dock area of the Giant Shark Gang in the middle of the night.
At this time, people who were preparing to board the ship were either gathered in the tea shed or standing on the shore. Since it had rained early in the morning, the weather was not too hot.
