Chapter 280 The Second Master of the Jiang Family
"Second brother, this is too smooth, right? I clearly saw many people from the City Lord's Mansion monitoring us, but Su Mofang actually let us leave?" A few days later, Zhuge Liuyun, dressed as a prince of a noble family, looked back at the huge Hei Shui City and asked Luo Zhuo.
They are now riding a caravan's flying boat. There are dozens of flying boats in the caravan, and Luo Zhuo and the others are not conspicuous at all, but they both know that they are not leaving quietly, because when they are in the inn, they find that someone is monitoring them, but they have not moved, so Luo Zhuo does not fight back.
"Don't worry, as long as there is a possibility of leaking news, Su Mofang will not take action. These officials are used to being cautious. Although the Jiang family is a little declining, the more this happens, the less anyone dares to provoke the Jiang family. At this time, the Jiang family will care more about its majesty. Whoever provokes them will usher in the most violent revenge."
"But we are not really from the Jiang family." Zhuge Liuyun looked around and whispered, "What if I get it wrong?"
"Don't worry, my two broken swords are real. The Jiang family does not pass on their unique skills. Even if they are really a disciple of the Jiang family, they will doubt whether I am really a member of the Jiang family." Luo Zhuo said with a smile.
"That's good. I hope that little guy Linzi is smart and leave Hei Shui City quickly." Zhuge Liuyun said. Although he had been together for only a few days, Zhuge Liuyun liked the chatter guide very much. He was also a talkative person, but he had been hiding in the fairy world and was the first time he had been with people so at ease.
However, they had no way to take Lin Zi away. After all, they had nothing to do at the moment, but the crisis might break out at any time. Taking a person without any cultivation can only be a burden. Instead, it will hurt him. Before leaving, Luo Zhuo gave him a lot of gold, enough for him to go to Zhongnan Mountain to learn from his skills, and also specifically told him to let him leave Heishui City quickly in case someone attacked him.
"Su Mofang shouldn't be so despicable." Luo Zhuo said. "The thing we have to worry about now is not him, but us. If Su Mofang is not dead, it is impossible for us to sit by and watch us leave. If he dies, the people from the City Lord's Mansion will have no reason to monitor us. I always feel a little uneasy."
He didn't know how many Bodhi fruits had produced in that Bodhi tree, but the value of the five Bodhi fruits was also very great. Su Mofang fought to the death but took away five of them. He couldn't just bear it. When he ran away, Su Mofang showed no mercy on his palm.
"We have all left Hei Shui City. What else can he do?" Zhuge Liuyun said, "Although he is the lord of Hei Shui City, we are about to leave the border of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how long his hands are, he can't reach it."
"Never underestimate your enemies. We don't know what Su Mofang has, so be careful." Luo Zhuo said in a deep voice. There may not be no danger on the flying boat, and the caravan is more conspicuous. Maybe no one dares to deal with them blatantly, but the caravans are mixed. It is not difficult to hide a few assassins.
"I know." Zhuge Liuyun said. He seemed to be careless, but in fact he was very interested. There was no simple character who could become a disciple of Kunlun true teachings. Besides, he had been in exile when he was in the fairy world. Not to mention anything else, his self-protection consciousness is definitely strong enough.
In the next few days, Luo Zhuo and Zhuge Liuyun were very careful. They would not leave the cabin without anything, and even brought their own food and drink. The accident of defense never happened. Seeing the caravan getting closer and closer to the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhuge Liuyun slowly relaxed, but Luo Zhuo always felt something was wrong. He didn't understand Su Mofang, but always felt that he was not as generous as a person.
On this day, Luo Zhuo was communicating with Zhuge Liuyun about his cultivation problems. Suddenly the flying boat shook for a while and stopped. Luo Zhuo frowned. Could it be that he would come to what he wanted? The person who was in trouble came?
"Listen, everyone on the ship is now gathered on the deck, checked the border, and was doing routine." A voice came from the amplified formation on the ship.
"Second Brother?" Zhuge Liuyun looked over. In order to prevent the exposing himself, even when he was alone, he no longer called Senior Brother Luo Zhuo, but called him the second brother.
"Adapt to the situation." Luo Zhuo said, opened the hatch door and walked out.
When Luo Zhuo and Zhuge Liuyun arrived on the deck, the deck was already full of people. When the caravan was transporting goods, they also brought some customers. This was a hidden rule. Therefore, the people on the flying boat were not only on their own, but also many passengers. At this time, these passengers were mixed with the caravan's friends, and many of them showed nervous expressions on their faces.
The fairy world actually has many similarities with the earth. There are also many practitioners here who offend enemies who cannot afford to offend and flee to other countries for refuge.
Luo Zhuo looked around and found hundreds of flying boats surrounding the caravan. The hundreds of flying boats were filled with fully armed soldiers. The bow of the largest flying boat, a white-faced general stood upright.
"General, I am Ma Yilin, the manager of Yintong Trading. This caravan is the merchant ship for my Yintong Trading. Please make it convenient." A man in his fifties and wearing a silk shirt said with a little compliment in front of the white-faced general. He bowed his hand and handed over a gray purse. The purse was a small storage space, specially prepared for those who could not afford to buy storage bracelets. The space inside is far less than the storage bracelets and is very easy to break. However, the manager took this thing as soon as he took action, and the bribery method was quite large.
The white-faced general didn't look at it and snorted coldly: "Stop, I won't eat this set! Come and search for me to see if there are any contraband!"
"General, General!" Ma Yilin hurriedly said that Yintong Trading is also a big Trading. It has been walking on this road for decades, and every guard will handle it properly. Logically speaking, this white-faced general should have also handled it. How could such a thing happen?
It is not easy to do business for a business, and there are really no contrabands anywhere.
"General, the owner of my account has a good relationship with His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince of your country. I hope you will show mercy." Ma Yilin whispered.
"Oh? Take the Prince's Palace down to suppress me? Even if the Prince is here today, I will do my job according to the law, and the Prince's Palace can't say anything." The white-faced general snorted coldly.
Luo Zhuo had good ears and still heard the conversation between General Baimian and Ma Yilin dozens of feet away. He knew it in his heart. No wonder Su Mofang had not moved. It turned out that his methods were here!
He stood there and watched the soldiers shuttle through the various flying boats and found some contraband from time to time. Ma Yilin's face became increasingly ugly. He did not recognize the newly appointed white-faced general and could not figure out where he came from. However, once these things were found, they were not good-looking on the surface and he was going to trouble now.
"Report to the general, a total of 162 contraband items were found!" A small team leader came to General Baimian and bowed to report.
"Ma Yilin, you are very brave in Yintong's business. My Tang Dynasty explicitly prohibits the iron spirit from leaving the country. You have transported such a large piece, so you have a white pound." The white-faced general kicked the pile of things in front of him, with a playful smile on his face.
Although he had a smile on his face, no one thought he was joking, and Ma Yilin was sweating even more.
"There are so many contrabands, I wonder if there are any fugitives hiding on your flying boat? There are also people who may not be sure that the storage space on whom is hiding contraband. Check it out for me. I will never let go of any sins when I patrol the border for the first time." General Baimian shouted coldly.
"Second brother, are you here for us?" Zhuge Liuyun said in a low voice. After checking the contraband, Zhuge Liuyun didn't believe that a caravan would search like this every time he passed the test. As for coincidence, it was even more joking. How could there be so many coincidences?
"I'm so happy, don't be impatient." Luo Zhuo said. The white-faced general's actions seemed normal, but in fact they were strange. Luo Zhuo also did not think that he was enforcing the law upright.
There were at least thousands of troops surrounding the caravan flying boats, and they were not thousands of ordinary soldiers. These soldiers had the worst cultivation level and had the Golden Pill realm. Among them, there were many masters in the fusion stage and the Void stage. Even Luo Zhuo of the Mahayana stage saw a few, and the leading white-faced general had the cultivation level of a celestial immortal.
There are basically no celestial immortal cultivators riding in this kind of ordinary flying boat. The celestial immortal cultivators are already well-known in the Nanzhan Continent. They will not be able to take such a flying boat with poor conditions. Therefore, no one on the passengers on the boat dared to resist the inspection. When the soldiers came to the front, they honestly opened their bags for inspection. As for the things in the storage space, Luo Zhuo had not seen that person being examined.
Soon the search team came to Luo Zhuo and the others. Luo Zhuo clearly saw that the white-faced general's eyes had been floating before, but now he was staring at him. He was even more sure of his guess.
"Do you have storage tools? If you have them, hand them over. If you don't have them, hand them over their luggage!" a soldier shouted.
"Not even." Zhuge Liuyun said coldly.
"If you go out, don't bring your bags. If you have a ghost, take it down for me!" the soldier shouted.
Luo Zhuo remained motionless, Zhuge Liuyun snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and a strong wind swung the soldiers back directly, retreated dozens of steps, stopped at the edge of the deck of the flying boat, and almost fell down. This was also Zhuge Liuyun's skillful use of force.
"Don't use this kind of petty method. What's your relationship with Su Mofang?" Luo Zhuo said calmly, his tone was not high, but it was clearly transmitted to the flying boat where the white-faced general was. Ma Yilin's face flashed with surprise. There was a master hidden on his flying boat. He didn't know before. It seemed that the group of people under him were doing too much!
"Pai!" The white-faced general applauded and laughed loudly: "It's worthy of being the second master of the Jiang family, it's really straightforward!"
