[Martial Arts] Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Chapter 3 Set Sail

Chu Liuxiang said: "Do you know Zhang San of Kuaiwang?"

Zhanfeng frowned slightly, "I've heard this name before, he should be an expert who often walks on the sea, but his whereabouts are uncertain, and there is no bad record in the past, I didn't pay special attention to him, what's the matter, what big crime did he do? Even Xiangshuai will pay special attention, the crime he committed is not small."

Zhanfeng became nervous. With a big event, he, the secret spy assigned by the imperial court to the sea area, will be even busier.

Chu Liuxiang said: "No, Zhang San is my friend. He didn't do any major crimes. Instead, I came here to find him. He disappeared."

Zhanfeng frowned and said, "Missing? Missing people can go to the Yamen, this matter is out of my control."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "However, Ge Guangxian Island must belong to you, right?"

Zhan Feng was speechless.

Ge Guangxian Island is indeed under his control, and it is the absolute top priority among the events within his jurisdiction.

The superior gave him an order to investigate first what secrets are hidden on Ge Guangxian Island, don't startle the snake, act with a sense of proportion, and wait for reinforcements.

Zhanfeng smiled awkwardly, "Why did Xiangshuai bring this up all of a sudden?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "It's just because Zhang San disappeared after he went to look for Ge Guangxian Island. Now I want to find him, and I need your help. You are in this port every day, pretending to be various identities, inquiring about him. All kinds of news, I believe you will have news about him."

Zhanfeng recalled it carefully.

He is indeed very well informed about the news on the sea, but Zhang San is not a person he is particularly familiar with, so he has to recall it carefully.

"More than half a month ago, I seemed to have indeed seen Zhang San get on a ship from here, and also inquired about the general course and background of that ship. Although I have not had any specific contact with Zhang San, I think I should There will be no mistake."

Chu Liuxiang said: "What kind of boat did he get on? Who are the people on board?"

Mentioning this, Zhanfeng's brows were suddenly frowned tightly, and anyone could see the nervous expression, "He boarded a boat owned by Boss Wu."

Li Si's face suddenly turned pale and frightening.

Hu Tiehua didn't quite understand, but she was a little shocked by the expressions of these two people.

Hu Tiehua wondered: "What happened to Boss Wu's boat?"

Zhanfeng looked at the sky, looked around, saw no one approaching, and then said in a deep voice: "Recently, there are a lot of Boss Wu's ships in the port. Boss Wu is a big boss. More than [-]% of the ships in this port are All the passenger ships belong to him. Recently, there are a lot of people who want to find Ge Guangxian Island. Boss Wu saw that this route is profitable, so he dispatched many passenger ships to take the guests who want to go to Ge Guangxian Island. Explore less dangerous sea areas."

Hu Tiehua said: "That day when you saw Zhang San boarded a passenger ship under the jurisdiction of Boss Wu to find Ge Guangxian Island?"

Zhanfeng nodded, "Yes, there is one of this kind of boats sailing every day, and the fee is quite high, but there is an endless stream of guests. This boat is very dangerous. It is common for half of the people to come back after going out to sea, and even all the guests All of them have disappeared. No one knows whether those people died or disappeared, and how they died. The guests on the ship were tight-lipped and never revealed what they saw, so my investigation has made no progress for so long. I I also thought about getting on Boss Wu's boat to find out, but I am alone and weak, and it doesn't matter if I die. I am afraid that the important affairs of the court will be delayed, so this matter has been delayed until now. I have already reported to the prison. It will take some time to apply for additional manpower, just to dispatch enough manpower."

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and looked at the endless sea outside the port in the distance. It is so beautiful, but there is always a kind of solemnity that wants to swallow people up. "In this case, I am afraid we can only find Boss Wu's boat for a ride." Only by sitting down can we know what happened to Zhang San and those people who disappeared inexplicably."

Chu Liuxiang was not asking, but making a statement.

He has to do this, and he has to do it right away.

Zhang San's situation may not last long.

Zhanfeng took two steps back, with a face of resistance, "Xiang Shuai, you said you want to find a boat with Boss Wu? That kind of boat is full of fish and dragons, each with their own ghosts, it's really dangerous. I'd better wait for all the people I applied for to be sent down. Let’s act together again then.”

Li Si looked at Zhan Feng and nodded frequently, agreeing with Zhan Feng's statement in his heart.

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Li Si, Zhang San is in danger, and there may not be much time to wait. Do you want to rescue Zhang San, or do you want to make sure everything is safe?"

Li Si's expression suddenly became serious.

Zhang San has been missing for so long, and with his quickness, he may be able to deal with it for a while, but this time cannot be delayed endlessly.

Hu Tiehua rolled up his sleeves suddenly and said, "Just sit and sit. What's the big deal? Uncle Hu has been afraid of anything in his life. Even if it's Bat Island, he came here safe and sound. Why would he be afraid of Boss Wu's boat?"

Li Si's eyes flickered for a moment, he thought for a while, and finally nodded hesitantly.

Soon a consensus was reached.

Zhanfeng stood quietly at the side, listening to the conversation of the three of them quietly, his eyes swept over the faces of the three of them one by one, and suddenly said solemnly: "Since Xiangshuai decided to take Boss Wu's boat, find out who is behind this incident. What exactly is there, Zhanfeng should accompany him, after all, it is my duty to investigate Ge Guangxian Island, and it is a privilege in this life to be able to advance and retreat with Xiang Shuai, no matter what, I should also contribute."

He cupped his fists and saluted the three of them one by one, with an unconcealable righteousness in his eyes.

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly, and slapped Zhanfeng's back hard, "Good brother, I just like a straightforward person like you."

Zhanfeng said modestly: "Hero Hu is overrated."

Chu Liuxiang also smiled and said, "Brother Zhan can help me, I really wish for it."

Zhanfeng smiled and pulled down the smear on his face, revealing a light and handsome face.

He has wheat-colored skin, a straight figure, handsome facial features, a clean beard, and firm facial lines. He is a very energetic young man.

When Hu Tiehua saw it, he sighed, "Brother Zhan has such a handsome appearance."

Zhanfeng said modestly: "Compared to Xiangshuai, it's less than one ten-thousandth."

Hu Tiehua suddenly became unhappy.

He wanted to correct this statement, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal.

He really doesn't think that Chu Liuxiang is a god-man who is inferior to ten thousand people, but for some reason, in the eyes of others, Chu Liuxiang seems to be a god-man who is inferior to ten thousand people.

Hu Tiehua stared angrily, making Li Si laugh.

The four returned to the crowded port.

Zhanfeng and Li Si were extremely sharp-eyed, and they spotted a boat moored on the shore at a glance, under the jurisdiction of Boss Wu, and the destination was to find Geguangxian Island.

"There is at most one such ship a day. It seems that we are lucky. We just met it. The ship is about to release the cable. It seems that it is about to set sail. If we want to get on the ship, we must be fast." Zhan Feng explained, While talking, he looked at Chu Liuxiang, waiting for his decision.

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "Okay, let's get on the boat."

The four of them walked towards this luxurious and mysterious big ship.

This passenger boat is more than ten feet long, three feet deep, and two and five feet wide. It has more than 50 sailors and can carry more than a thousand dendrobium.

The top of the boat is flat, and the bottom of the boat is like a knife edge, which makes it easy to break through the waves. It is a very strong boat with a fast speed and a stable hull.

Standing at the entrance of the boat was a beautifully dressed woman in red. She had already seen the four guests coming towards her, and she was sizing up the four of them very familiarly.

Her eyes are like autumn water, very lively, uniquely agile, one can imagine that this must be an extremely smart girl, her eyebrows are lightly swept, her cherry lips are slightly pouty, and there is a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which is particularly alluring.

Her eyes turned around a lot, then lingered on Zhan Feng and Chu Liuxiang, and after a long time, she still fixed on Chu Liuxiang.

"Will the guests want to take the boat?" She asked, but Chu Liuxiang was the only one in her eyes.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Yes, I hope we are not too late."

The woman smiled even more coquettishly, "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just right, not only not too late, but if you have any special needs, I can also give you a special treat, tonight...or tomorrow night...all Can."

She shook the red handkerchief in her hand, and the soft silk slipped across Chu Liuxiang's clothes from time to time, leaving a scent of fragrance.

Sexy teasing, without explicit intention, but everyone present understood it.

Zhanfeng was an upright person, he frowned, took a step forward, stopped between Chu Liuxiang and the woman, and said loudly: "Then we can board the boat now."

The woman was interrupted, her face turned slightly cold.

Although Zhanfeng's face can be regarded as resolute and handsome, but his demeanor can't help but be reckless and straightforward, and the clothes he wears are coarse and bunted, and the old fabric has faded. It's hard for girls to fall in love with him at first sight.

But Chu Liuxiang was different, the ice blue gown was of high quality, the color was low-key but comfortable, the clothes were not gorgeous but extremely elegant, there was an aura that made girls fall in love with him at the first sight.

She swung her body resentfully, "400 taels, as long as you pay the money, you can enjoy the rich food and all the services on the ship, everything you need. Our ship is going there. I think all the guests know it. More to say, if you can find the destination, it is worth any money, after all, you can get more benefits when you get there."

When she said everything, she looked over Zhanfeng and looked at Chu Liuxiang again, and her voice became slow and grinding, as if she couldn't make people understand what she meant if she didn't do this.

400 taels is really not a low price.

The annual salary of a Beijing official is 140 taels, and 400 taels is equivalent to the three-year salary of a capital official.

Hu Tiehua's eyes widened, "You really dare to ask for a price."

The woman in red smiled and said, "Of course, our service is good."

Chu Liuxiang nodded politely, "It must be worth the money."

Without hesitation, Chu Liuxiang took out the four people's boat money, 600 taels, and handed it to the woman.

The woman stretched out her slender hand and took the bank note in Chu Liuxiang's hand, but her eyes didn't count whether the money was correct or not, but lingered on Chu Liuxiang's face, "This customer is the most knowledgeable."

Her bright red long nails, which were dyed with Koudan, seemed to have inadvertently scratched across the back of Chu Liuxiang's hand, leaving a very fragrant trace.

Then she retreated, made a gesture of please, led the way for Chu Liuxiang and others, and walked all the way to the deck of the ship.

Along the way, she tried her best to talk to Chu Liuxiang, and she never stopped flirting.

Hu Tiehua followed behind with a cold face, and suddenly choked: "I really can't stand it anymore, did I read it wrong? This is on a boat, not in the cabin, and you started flirting? Is there anyone else watching without taboo? "

The woman ignored Hu Tiehua's bad temper at all.

She only entertained Chu Liuxiang wholeheartedly.

And Chu Liuxiang seemed to have suddenly become a libertine, and he didn't reject such a bold and unrestrained girl at all, just let her stick tightly to his side like that, and still looked very happy.

Even when the girl's hand hugged his waist, he still looked like he was enjoying it.

Hu Tiehua, Zhanfeng and Li Si were a little bit embarrassed.

They are all straight-tempered, but because of this kind of thing, they can't speak out, so they can only keep their mouths shut and keep their thoughts in their hearts.

The woman brought the four of them to the deck and handed the banknotes to a middle-aged steward.

The steward was directing the pole-handlers on the deck to prepare to sail, when he saw the woman bringing guests, he immediately turned to say hello.

I saw that the middle-aged steward was wearing a green shirt, and his clothes fluttered slightly in the sea breeze. He was tall and tall, with a gentle and polite face. Although he looked like a middle-aged man, Chu Liuxiang always felt that he should be a The handsome boy is right.

The steward greeted with a smile, and when his eyes met Chu Liuxiang, he felt unnatural for a moment, but almost immediately, he covered up his discomfort, and changed into that tactful and polite appearance.

The woman took four bronze number plates from the steward, then bowed deeply to the steward, turned around with a gentle smile, and asked Chu Liuxiang and others to leave.

Chu Liuxiang and others were taken to the third floor of the ship by the woman.

Standing on the top floor overlooking the sea, there is a special feeling of looking at the sea and the sun, and the door is facing the tide of Zhejiang, and the noble spirit in the chest is immediately relieved.

The ship has already set sail, facing the wind and waves, heading for a mysterious direction.
