Chapter 278

The reason why he left the ship was that he noticed friars flying back and forth on the island.

At this time, it seems that many people on the island are carrying wood to a ship.

After observing the surrounding situation and seeing the darkening sky, he decided to get close to investigate and sneak into the water again.

The reason why he dares to approach for investigation is that it is a sea with waves. If he dares not to approach on the land lake, the ripples triggered on the water surface are easy to be found and can be quickly covered by waves.

As he approached the island, there was a cluttered sound of "grunting or thumping" at the bottom of the water. He leaned close to the place where the sound came, came to the bottom of a ship, and quietly appeared at the stern again. His ears didn't have to stick to the ship. He could also hear the "tinkling" sound from the cabin and the sound of saw sawing wood.

It's not just a ship. There are many voices of carpentry in the left and right ships.

He wanted to get on board and observe it. For the sake of safety, he finally gave up the idea.

After groping in the water for a while, he ran away from the island again, appeared in the distance from time to time, circled the island and counted the number of ships.

After knowing something, he sank into the sea and quickly fled from here.

He dived out for a long time to breathe until he was completely away from here. He confirmed that the people on the island would not see themselves again. He peeped out on the sea and looked around repeatedly. Only then did he jump out of the sea and walk on the waves, flying all the way back on the sea

Dakan city is the last city on Niu Youdao's route to the capital of Qi.

As always, Niu Youdao wandered around the city. Halfway through the city, a disciple of Wuliangshan appeared and nodded to the Black Peony from a distance.

Black peony is not like Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao is really wandering around. Black Peony plays with Niu Youdao, but it is not really playing. It has the responsibility to observe around. This is what Yuan Gang reminded and taught earlier, and even trained the people around Niu Youdao to a certain extent.

Don't say that friars are not friars. Friars are not as good as professionals in some things.

When Yuan Gang trained these people, he directly pointed out that Taoist priest is the helmsman and the head of everyone. Taoist priest's safety is the first thing. Taoist priest can't have an accident. Once Taoist priest has any accident, no one can think better. As people around Taoist priest, they have the responsibility to maintain Taoist priest's safety, timely pick up leftovers and fill vacancies, and remind him of things he didn't notice.

After all, Lord Tao is just a person with only a pair of eyes and ears. It is impossible to take into account all the surrounding conditions anytime and anywhere, especially when going out.

Black Peony nodded slightly, and the Wuliangshan disciple left quickly.

While Niu Youdao stopped by the roadside and squatted to see the woodcut carved by a craftsman, the Black Peony leaned over and smiled at Niu Youdao. Suddenly, he whispered in Niu Youdao's ear, "Gongsun, please come back."

Niu Youdao nodded slightly to show that he knew, but squatted there without getting up. He slowly appreciated the woodblock paintings placed enough before he got up slowly.

Linghuqiu is also carrying a hand to enjoy the hanging wood painting. He didn't have this elegant interest, but when he met Niu Youdao, a slow turtle, he lost his temper and gradually endured his temper. He appreciates it. Anyway, he has nothing to do and is idle.

"Brother, I have something to go back to the inn first. You continue to enjoy it here?" Niu Youdao asked beside linghuqiu.

Ling Huqiu looked back in amazement and thought, if you go back, do I still need to appreciate this shit?

"Then go back together." Linghu Qiu waved.

As soon as I returned to the inn, I saw someone guarding the periphery of Niu Youdao's room to prevent others from approaching. Linghuqiu exchanged glances with red tea and red brush. I know it well. It's estimated that there's something wrong.

Although we don't know what Niu Youdao is going to do here, we all know that Niu Youdao is not so simple.

Niu Youdao entered the room. The Black Peony quickly closed the door. Gongsun Bu, who was waiting in the room, stood up and said with a slightly excited look: "Lord Tao, I found the place where the sea ship was transformed."

Niu Youdao was surprised, "so fast?"

Only five days have passed since the decision was made. You should know that it takes time for golden wings to send messages back and forth. It takes time to deploy manpower and confirm the waters that meet the requirements. Is there a result so soon?

Gongsun nodded and said, "yes, the people of other countries are still on the way. The people who received the task in the Qi sea area carried out the task first. As a result, someone found the task on the first day. This is because we have determined the investigation direction. Otherwise, no one can be sure that the ships coming and going on the sea are related to the target we are looking for."

"Good!" Niu Youdao also cheered up. "Where is it?"

Gongsun Bu raised his hand to black peony. Black Peony quickly took out the map, opened it and hung it on the wall.

Gongsun Bu stared at the map for a brief inspection and pointed to a sea area in the southwest of Qi. "It's probably located here, an island. There are many reefs in this sea area. Ships who don't know the route don't dare to pass here at all. Even if they know the safe route of this area, ordinary ships won't come here and around. The environment here is in line with our previous prediction."

Niu Youdao: "are you sure?"

Gongsun Bu: "it's confirmed that the specific number of ships parked around the island is inconvenient to be counted. There are friars on the island for inspection, but the number of ships estimated by the investigators is about 200, all of which are the kind of sea ships we judge. Although the investigators dare not go ashore, they dive under the ships for inspection, and it can be determined that they are transforming the ships."

Niu Youdao asked, "how long does it take for the ship to go to the coastline of Qi?"

Gongsun Bu: "in line with the judgment of sister peony, about a day."

"About 200? It seems that there are more than 10000 war horses!" Niu Youdao sneered, stared at Gongsun Bu and solemnly told him, "let your people keep an eye on it. Once you find that the ship has only signs of transfer, you will return immediately! Remember, you don't need to do any superfluous things or take risks. Just stare. In short, you can't scare the snake!"

"Good!" Gongsun Bu immediately took orders.

Seeing Gongsun Bu off and black peony back, he saw Niu Youdao wandering in the house, so he was quiet and didn't bother.

Niu Youdao suddenly stopped, turned back and said to her, "it's no longer necessary to stay here. Immediately set off for the capital of the state of Qi. Go and tell Linghu Qiu what he means."

What else can linghuqiu mean? This is the so-called coming to help him. Naturally, he set out immediately

Huyanwei's work efficiency is very high. He said that he would sell the houses around the tofu restaurant. He said that it would never be delayed to the fourth day within three days.

Next to the tofu shop, there is an alley upstairs. In an elegant room, Qin Mian stands in front of the window near the alley and looks out.

At the table in the house, Su Zhao, dressed in plain clothes, slowly tasted a bowl of fresh bean curd.

"Coming." Qin Mian suddenly turned back and called softly.

Su Zhao put down his spoon, got up slowly, moved to the window, looked into the alley outside the half open window, and saw Yuan Gang come out from the depths of the alley.

Qin Mian went to the window of Minghu lake and waved his handkerchief.

At the corner of the alley, a little girl with dirty clothes appeared holding a bowl of tofu. I don't know if it was the reason why she suddenly ran into Yuan Gang. When her hand was loose, the ceramic bowl was smashed on the ground with a slap.

Looking at the bean curd sprinkled all over the floor, the little girl's mouth was flat, her face was wronged, her tears slipped one by one, and she squatted down slowly to pick it up.

Yuan Gang stopped in front of her. Such a big man bent down for the little girl and squatted in front of her slowly, saying, "it's broken, don't."

The little girl was wronged and sobbed, "it's for grandma."

Yuan Gang reached out to help her up and helped her wipe her tears. A rare warmth appeared on her unsmiling face, "it doesn't matter. Buy another one."

The little girl shook her head and sobbed, "there's no money."

Yuan Gang touched out a handful of money and gave it to her. The little girl shook her head and took a step back. Obviously, she didn't dare to ask for strangers' money.

"I know your grandmother..." Yuan Gang said something, stretched out his hand and took the little girl's hand, and his back left the alley.

After a while, Qin Mian, who looked out of the front window and looked at the front of the tofu restaurant, retracted his head and said with a low smile, "the big man really bought one for the little girl and a bigger one."

In silence, Su Zhao walked slowly to the window here. She saw that there were more pottery pots in the little girl's hand, and they were tied with hemp rope for easy carrying. She didn't have to hold them anymore and left happily.

Su Zhao slowly returned to the table and looked at the bean curd in the bowl. He was in a difficult mood. In his mind was a warm picture of a big and a small figure holding hands, which was hard to erase for a long time.

That day, when an Taiping said that there was no distinction between high and low, she heard it in her ears and was shocked in her heart.

The reason for the shock is that no one knows the suffering in her heart. She is eager to have a happy ending with the man who is close to the demon, jade tree and strong ability, but what is her identity? The brothel woman, and everyone knows that she is the forbidden son of a certain prince. This reputation can never be erased.

In the face of this world, she asked herself and Shao Pingbo more than once. Will she really marry her?

Although Shao Pingbo's answer is very positive, it's hard to say in her heart. She's thinking that once Shao Pingbo really becomes famous, can Shao Pingbo really marry a woman with her reputation?

For this world, an Taiping's words are somewhat shocking. Not to mention the young people looking for trouble, even she felt incredible, although it touched the weakness in her heart.

But after that, an Taiping even put his body in front of the brothel maid and resisted the random whip for the brothel maid.

She suspected that an Taiping was acting and wanted to try again.

I want to see what peace looks like when it is not in full view of the public and invisible behind the scenes.

Some things don't need too much performance. You can see the clue with one action and one look.

However, the situation just went far beyond her tentative expectation. The warmth for such a poor little girl made her feel numb, and made her deeply realize that there is no distinction between high and low in this man's heart. This man is incompatible with the world. He is a man who really doesn't care about his brothel origin!
