"I read that correctly, that is Captain Zheng's ship, with the Canal Gang's flag on it!" the sailor said with certainty.
"Oh! Weird!" Kong Youlong became even more curious after hearing this.
He and Zheng An are old friends, and both of them are casual people who never stick to the etiquette of the world. What's more, he is just a businessman, and Zheng An has never treated him as a person in the world. It is indeed possible that Zheng An heard that he was passing by his house and sailed to meet him. However, if he came to meet him, he would only do so in a private capacity, and would never come under the banner of the Canal Gang and meet him late at night.
When walking on the rivers and lakes, there are two situations when raising banners.
One is a famous sect, which raises its flag to show its prestige and expand its influence. The other is to escort escorts, name them, and tell the heroes whose belongings this belongs to and should not be touched easily. In both cases, one must actually have sufficient strength. If it is some small sect that secretly raises its banner, not only will it fail to expand its influence, but it is also very likely to bring humiliation to itself. As for escorts, they are all professions backed by big names. If you don't have enough strength, you won't dare to take the path of an escort.
The Canal Gang has some strength on both sides of the canal. If they usually run boats, it is normal to raise a flag. However, Kong Youlong and Zheng An had no direct business dealings, and some were just personal friends. He usually doesn't meet him as a Jianghu person.
Kong Youlong felt something was wrong, so he came to the bow of the ship with Wu Xing and Kong Xiaowu.
On the bow of the boat, Princess Qingying, Wei Yan and Hua'er were still watching the night view and talking about their daughters. Although they did see a boat coming downstream, they didn't pay much attention to it and continued to chat on their own.
When Sun Xiaowu came to the bow of the ship and saw the canal boats coming upstream downstream, he couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he felt something.
He thought about what to say to the fifth line, but he seemed to think that the fifth line would not believe him, so he did not speak.
Although Sun Xiaowu is a nobody in the world, he can still be regarded as an elite. In the fifth line, he kept showing his face to him, but he didn't know it. However, he was not a stingy person, and for the sake of the princess, he naturally didn't take it to heart.
However, he obviously felt that this matter was unusual, so he abandoned Wu Xing and Kong Youlong, came to Princess Qingying and said, "Girl, I think something is wrong with that ship."
"What's wrong?" the princess asked.
The princess had already changed into women's clothes. Sun Xiaowu did not dare to call her by her name, nor did he call her "disciple", so the princess asked Sun Xiaowu to call her "girl". Sun Xiaowu refused at first, but as soon as he came and left, he felt that the title was friendly and gradually got used to it.
"There is a demon on the ship!" Sun Xiaowu said seriously.
"What kind of evil spirit is this? Master Sun, why are you scaring us girls for fun?" Before the princess could speak, Hua'er was the first to say in a disdainful tone.
"Yes! Master Sun, when you accepted me as your disciple, you told me that there are no such things as monsters in this world." The princess also said a little puzzled.
"Girl, you have known Master for so long. Think about it, has Master ever made such a joke to you?" Sun Xiaowu said it very seriously.
"Then you said there is a demonic spirit on the ship. Don't believe me, you don't believe it either!" The princess still couldn't believe it, but seeing that Master Sun was very serious, she actually paid some attention to it.
"Master has said that there are no real foxes, ghosts and demons in the world. However, fake people and ghosts do exist. Where are the demons and demons in the world? Where there are demons and demons, they are just human hearts." Sun Xiaowu said this As he spoke, he suddenly changed from his former philistine appearance and became a worldly master.
"Warlock?" the princess asked in realization. After all, the princess is Sun Xiaowu's apprentice. She is the only one who understands what Sun Xiaowu is saying. Wei Yan and Hua'er are still a little confused.
"I'm not sure yet. However, you'd better tell the fifth young hero not to let the ship get close to us yet. If we get into their trap first and then try to break through his formation, it will be difficult." Sun Xiaowu's expression was solemn, It seemed that it was a matter of life and death.
The princess has known Sun Xiaowu for seven or eight years and has never seen him so nervous. Moreover, Sun Xiaowu looks carefree on the surface, but he is actually quite reliable in his work.
He asked the masters to find the whereabouts of the fifth line, and Sun Xiaowu was the first to track the whereabouts of the fifth line, which shows that he is not as useless as he seems on the surface. Moreover, after he had a meeting with Master Sun Xiaowu, he also knew that he was indeed not a nonsense person.
"Then why didn't you tell the stingy guy?" asked the princess.
"You are my apprentice. If I tell you, you won't believe it. If I tell him directly, do you think he will believe it?" Sun Xiaowu asked.
His question immediately made the princess speechless. The princess knows the temper of the fifth line. When he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't even give him his own face, not to mention that he didn't want to see Sun Xiaowu at all.
"Okay! I understand." The princess said, then walked towards the bow of the ship, came directly to the fifth line and Kong Youlong, and then whispered to the fifth line: "Master Sun said that if there is something weird on the ship, it's best to go first Don't let the boat come near us."
"What's weird?" The fifth line has the highest martial arts among this group of people. He didn't feel anything wrong himself, so how could he believe Sun Xiaowu.
"Master Sun said there was a demon on the boat!" The princess actually didn't know what was weird about the boat, so she had to follow Sun Xiaowu's original words.
"Haha! What are you talking about? He is teasing you!" When the fifth line heard this, he immediately laughed and said that Sun Xiaowu was teasing the princess again.
With Sun Xiaowu here, he would tell some strange things and monsters in front of the princess every day to amuse the princess. The princess spent a lot less time pestering the fifth line, which made the fifth line quiet.
"But, I have known Master Sun for seven or eight years! He never jokes about this kind of thing. If your surname is me, please don't let that ship get close to us first. Master Sun said, if we take advantage of each other first, then we can try to defeat them." The formation is even more difficult." Although the princess had a bad temper, after the incident of escaping from marriage, she did not dare to offend the fifth line again, so Wu Nong could only say softly behind the fifth line.
The fifth line still didn't quite believe it, but he knew that the princess was not a person who made trouble out of nothing. Since he believes in Sun Xiaowu so much, she must have a reason.
What's more, the world is so big that there are no wonders.
The reason why the fifth line doesn’t like Sun Xiaowu is because he thinks Sun Xiaowu has no ability and can only flatter the princess all day long and eat and drink around her. The fifth line doesn't like such a person, but the princess just wants to keep him by her side to relieve her boredom.
As for ghosts, of course I don’t believe it in the fifth line.
However, Fifth Line also feels that it is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.
There are many things that you would not believe until you have seen them.
"Master Kong, there seems to be something weird about that boat. In my opinion, it's best not to let it get close to you yet." The fifth line was obviously convinced by the princess and walked straight to Kong Youlong and said.
