Zhuo Mufeng's heart was beating fast, but he didn't dare to reveal any emotion. He turned to look at Fang Xiaodie, looking confused.
Fang Xiaodie also woke up and said hurriedly: "Sir, when can I board the ship? I want to see the sea scenery as soon as possible."
Barong on the side came up and the three of them talked in low voices. It was not surprising in the eyes of others.
At this moment, a group of more than a dozen people came slowly, including warriors, traveling businessmen, and scholars surrounded by servants.
The man in the yellow shirt who made Zhuo Mufeng and the others see through the autumn water was the scholar in everyone's eyes. The style of the yellow shirt he wore was extremely simple, with no unnecessary patterns. The whole body was made of high-quality silk, and the waist was tied with a ribbon of the same color, which made the hem look very slim.
Long, it brings out the tall and straight figure of the man in yellow shirt.
As he walked, the black cloak behind him fluttered lightly with the sea breeze. Walking among this group of people, he was like the moon among the stars, easily catching the attention of outsiders.
However, everyone looked at it for a few times and then looked away.
The people present are all well-traveled and well-informed people. It is not uncommon to see such an extraordinary young man. Most of them come from a good family and rely on their family's wealth. They like to be cheered and supported wherever they go. They think they are very good.
In fact, in the eyes of real Jianghu people, majesty is just a fledgling.
Fang Xiaodie secretly stuck out her tongue. She had been looking around just now, so she spotted the man in yellow shirt immediately. Fortunately, there were many people like her, otherwise she would have been scolded by the young master.
A group of people stood still. The warriors and businessmen went to negotiate with the people from the Giant Shark Gang to board the ship. The man in the yellow shirt was replaced by a middle-aged man next to him.
There were no surprises in the process, and the two parties quickly agreed on the price.
Taking this opportunity, Zhuo Mufeng also took a look at the man in yellow shirt. Nothing is too much, and it would be strange if he kept deliberately avoiding it.
After scanning the crowd, Zhuo Mufeng withdrew his gaze. His appearance was calm, but in fact he was trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. There was a layer of sweat on his palms. God knows how anxious he was just now. He almost asked Barong to postpone it.
Boarding time.
Fortunately, fortunately, the other party is here, and the other party's appearance further increases the possibility that the other party is the cloaked man! Zhuo Mufeng tried his best to clear his mind, so as not to cause emotional abnormalities and make others see flaws.
Several tuts were heard, and the people around him suddenly made a noise. Seeing that they were looking in the same direction, Zhuo Mufeng also turned his head.
Then the next moment, his eyes widened.
However, two women in white were walking towards them. They were not stained by dust, their clothes were fluttering, and they were holding long swords. At a glance, it was obvious that they were chivalrous women in the world, but such beautiful chivalrous women were rare.
The woman on the left wears a lily bun with a jade hairpin inserted horizontally, revealing her apple-shaped cheeks, her skin is white and rosy, and her big, bright eyes are lively and expressive. When she saw the eyes of everyone around her, she felt a hint of pride, and then she secretly straightened up.
Hold your chest out.
This woman is not bad. Although she is only one in a thousand, as long as she wanders around the world for long enough, she can always meet women of the same level. But the woman on the right is different.
They were both dressed in white, but she gave them a hazy feeling. With just one glance, everyone seemed to see the fairies in the Jiangnan ink paintings, walking in and out of the paintings. The sea breeze stopped blowing, and the sound of the waves also faded away.
The noise gradually became quieter, and they all quietly admired the peerless beauty of this woman.
The smart beauty who is only one in a thousand is outshined by her companions.
There were some lustful people whose eyes seemed to be sucked, unable to move away from the woman on the right, and they swallowed hard.
Those who are a little bit more normal are constantly looking up and down. Even some women are jealous and feel ashamed at the same time.
But Zhuo Mufeng was lamenting how small the world is.
He knew both of these women. The smart beauty was the Bailiyan who lost to him at Nuanyang Lake and was forced to call him brother every time. And the peerless beauty was naturally the famous "Luoshui Fairy"
"Ling Luoyang.
Zhuo Mufeng could understand the feelings of those present.
In terms of beauty alone, Ling Luoyang is almost as good as Wu Yuanyuan, and her temperament is even better in each category. Back then, when it came to ranking the top ten beauties in the world, if it weren't for the rule that only two from each country could be selected, Ling Luoyang would definitely be qualified to be selected.
Zhuo Mufeng even suspected that if Wu Yuanyuan and Qiu Rongshang were not the daughters of the top forces, and Ling Luoyang was just a disciple of the top forces, Ling Luoyang might have replaced one of them.
Ordinary people would never forget a woman of this level once they took one look at it. But why did they come here? Are they also going to the depths of the South China Sea?
The two women negotiated with the people from the Jusha Gang and settled everything in just a few words. The negotiator didn't move his eyes away until the two women turned around and walked away.
As time went by, the scene finally returned to normal, but no one went to chat with Ling Luoyang for the time being. None of the people present were fools, and the two women looked like they were not ordinary people. Since they dared to travel in the world, how could they not have someone to rely on?
Some people even vaguely guessed the identities of the two women.
After waiting for about half an hour, the people from the Jusha Gang greeted them to board the ship. Everyone lined up to board the board one by one, and each person received a wooden sign. The number on the sign corresponded to the room on the upper floor of the ship.
The three of Zhuo Mufeng had booked the upper room, so the numbers were very close to the front. Ling Luoyang and Bai Liyan happened to be a few steps ahead. Zhuo Mufeng took a look, and coincidentally, the two women also booked the upper room.
.
I just don’t know what the man in the yellow shirt is like, but unfortunately he is standing behind him, so it’s hard for Zhuo Mufeng to do anything too outrageous.
After everyone got on board, the boatman untied the ropes tied to the dock and tightened the sails. The helmsman controlled the compass, and the huge ship sailed slowly toward the unknown depths of the South China Sea.
This journey would take at least several months. In order to attract customers, the Jusha Gang designed a special hall on the first floor of the ship building for eating and drinking tea.
All the dishes, drinks, pastries, etc. that can be ordered in Dongzhou can be supplied here. In order to ensure that the food does not deteriorate, the Jusha Gang also specially found a formation master and designed a set of related formations, which consumes a lot of money.
The second floor has a stage, chess room, music garden, and even a small brothel.
After all, most of the people who go to sea are men, and many of them are rough warriors. They can stay at sea for several months, and if they don't get some relief, something may happen. Of course, the Jusha Gang has thought so thoroughly, just to facilitate the recruitment of customers.
On the third to fifth floors, there are guest rooms, and different prices are set according to the quality of the facilities.
Therefore, taking this kind of ship to go out to sea once will cost no less than two years for ordinary people. Even if you don't live in a house or patronize the shops on the ship, just one round trip is not something ordinary people can afford.
.
As lunch time approached, everyone poured into the hall to eat. The shopkeeper and several waiters greeted him warmly, and after asking about the dishes, they quickly went to the back room to inform the cook.
However, it may be that there were more people going out to sea this time, so the tables and chairs were quickly occupied. Because Ling Luoyang and the two girls did not want to be crowded, they finally entered the hall, only to find that there were no empty tables.
The only seats left were one by the window, where two arrogant warriors were seated. Their sitting postures were not very elegant. They were chatting about something, patting the table and laughing from time to time.
Bai Liyan was the first to frown and looked elsewhere, but the subordinate of the man in yellow was sitting at a table alone, with three empty seats left. Compared to the two vulgar warriors, this one was much more pleasing to the eye.
.
Bai Liyan immediately pulled the senior sister away. After they sat down, the subordinate of the man in yellow lowered his head and drank by himself. This reaction fell into Zhuo Mufeng's eyes, and the suspicion in his heart deepened.
Because this person acted too calm, although it may be that the other person has an extraordinary mind.
According to Zhuo Mufeng's plan, once they successfully arrive on the ship, they should take the initiative to create opportunities to get close to the man in yellow shirt. If they wait foolishly for Yao Wu and others to come over and join them, what if the man in yellow shirt has other plans?
On the premise of not exposing himself, Zhuo Mufeng must try his best to explore the opponent's background.
But now I think about it, no matter how detailed the plan is, there will always be loopholes. Unless there is a ready excuse, it can be truly seamless.
Seeing the man in yellow shirt sitting at the table next to Ling Luoyang and others, Zhuo Mufeng's eyes flickered for a while and he suddenly made a decision. He took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards Ling Luoyang's table.
Barong and Fang Xiaodie, who were ordering, couldn't help but were stunned. They both looked at Zhuo Mufeng, wondering what the young master was up to. This was not part of the plan.
But the two of them didn't dare to move for fear of disturbing the young master, so they had to keep an eye on him. Seeing the young master walking towards the man in yellow shirt, both of them felt nervous.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Mufeng stopped at Ling Luoyang's table, smiled and said to Bai Liyan: "Miss Baili, we meet each other everywhere in life, what a coincidence."
Bai Liyan, who was drinking tea, heard the sound and raised his head in surprise. Hearing this, he thought he had met an acquaintance, but when he saw Zhuo Mufeng's face wearing a disguise mask, he suddenly became confused. Who are you, us?
know?
However, they greeted her with a smile and told her her last name. Bailiyan was not a young girl, so she still understood the basic principles. She said in a polite and distant tone: "Who are you?"
"puff!"
Many people around him spurted tea, and some laughed wantonly.
In the eyes of everyone, it was obvious that Zhuo Mufeng wanted to use an excuse to get close to the two girls, and any fool knew what he was thinking. Seeing that this stupid man's face was red and his body was shaking slightly because of nervousness, he probably had to hold back all his courage.
It's a pity that the heroine doesn't give me face.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled stiffly and said: "Miss Baili, have you forgotten? A few years ago, you performed a heroic act in Shunyi City. I am grateful to you for saving me and avoiding being harmed by others."
Shunyi City? Bailiyan was confused. She couldn't remember this incident, and she didn't think she had ever seen the young man in front of her. Of course, she might have forgotten it after doing it.
But no matter what, she was too lazy to talk to the other party, so she nodded, said oh, and drank tea by herself without any intention of talking anymore.
This was obviously an attempt to chase away guests, and Zhuo Mufeng's face turned even redder. Seeing his shriveled appearance, everyone was joking. Some people who didn't have the courage themselves, but saw Zhuo Mufeng step forward, were even more embarrassed.
Feeling happy.
Unexpectedly, this stunned Qing didn't flinch. He didn't know whether he couldn't see it or was just thinking. He quickly glanced at the picturesque Ling Luoyang, which made people's hearts beat faster, and actually said to Bai Liyan: "Bai Liyan"
Miss Li, is this, is this your senior sister? Can you, can you introduce me to her?"
