"Wait a minute!" A loud shout came from the dock, and then the sailor who was about to lift anchor stopped for a moment.
Everyone looked towards the pier and saw a middle-aged scribe standing at the port with several pairs of soldiers. It seemed that this was the person who had just shouted.
This person was Yan Zhuang, An Lushan's staff member. He thought carefully. Although he heard that Ye Sanlang could escape from the earth, since they were traveling with a woman, they would not be able to run far, but within a radius of several hundred miles Nothing was found, so they probably took the water route. He sent someone to check. There was indeed a ship going out to sea in the past few days. It was the ship Captain Ma went to Ryukyu. He knew about it. However, in order to be vigilant, , he still brought people to investigate in person.
"It's Yan Zhuang. This old ghost is quite smart." Captain Ma said.
Ye Sanlang had also heard of Yan Zhuang. It was said that An Lushan had two major staff members, one was Gao Shang and the other was Yan Zhuang. Gao Shang is good at conspiracy and tricks, and he usually comes up with the strategies used to harm others; while Yan Zhuang is good at grasping the overall situation and has great strategies.
At this moment, he brought people to investigate, and he must have noticed something.
After the bridge was lowered, Yan Zhuang took people on board. He looked at the hundreds of people on the deck in front of him, and suddenly felt a headache, because he didn't know anyone at all. So the team waiting to follow walked back and forth in the crowd with the portraits for several times, and then the team shook their heads, as if they had gained nothing. Of course he knew that nothing could be gained, and the other party must have changed his appearance, so the only way to investigate the person was through the contract.
"Captain Ma, do your crew members have contracts?"
"This..." He looked confused. "You also know that most sailors on merchant ships are actually slaves. Where do they get the contracts... There are a total of 123 people in my crew, at most half of them are contracted, and the rest are bought when I go to various countries. Slaves and black men.”
"You, you..." Yan Zhuang shook his head. He understood that if the investigation continued like this, there would be no results unless the investigation lasted for several months. But this would delay the merchant ship's schedule, and An Lushan would not agree.
"Oh, forget it, let's go." Yan Zhuang shook his head helplessly and led the soldiers off the boat.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yan." Captain Ma saluted, then waved his hand: "Weigh anchor and set sail!"
Speaking of which, he was also surprised. With his solemn personality, he would never let go of anything suspicious, so why did he let them go so quickly?
Not long after, somewhere on the seabed on the edge of the East China Sea, there was an undersea cave that was difficult to discover. This was someone's residence. It was very open, with no seawater flowing in, and the air was fresh.
A short and thin old man was lying on a stone bed made of white jade and taking a nap. At this time, an ugly-looking man slowly walked in and woke him up: "Master, from Anlu Mountain There is also a killing order issued by Jianghu, and the reward is one thousand taels of gold."
The old man "Gulu" sat up all of a sudden and thought for a while, no, An Lushan has never been so generous. Could it be that that person has some shady information or something that interests him?
"Who is he? He is worth a thousand miles of gold?"
"He seems to be a hot topic in Chang'an recently. He was originally a policeman in Wannian County, Chang'an. He has excellent swordsmanship and is known as the best swordsman in Chang'an."
"Have you ever joined me in cultivating the truth?"
"It is said that Yin Shifei, the leader of the Xunlongmen Sect, was recently accepted as a closed disciple."
"Xunlongmen?! They have always been secluded from the world, and they don't accept disciples easily. Not to mention the weird old man Yin Shifei, this guy must be a treasure." Suddenly remembering that he hadn't finished speaking, the old man asked again: "Then Woolen cloth?"
"He made a name for himself in some restaurant a few days ago and became famous. Even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally summoned him and promoted him to the position of supervisory censor."
"Supervisory censor? How could he go to Youzhou in one day...could it be...could it be that An Lushan had evil intentions and was discovered by Li Longji? Well, it is very possible, but what does this have to do with us? relation?"
"His counselor Yan Zhuang sent an interception order from Jianghu, saying that Saburo Ye is likely to be on a merchant ship heading to Ryukyu. This merchant ship has just gone to sea and should still be within the Bohai Sea. Let us destroy that merchant ship. A merchant ship.”
"I see. However, since it is a merchant ship, it should have more wealth. Anyway, he has already acquiesced and will not send experts to retaliate, so as to kill two birds with one stone. And the Dragon King of Bohai Sea is weak, but I and you can't, okay , then we will do this."
After saying that, he jumped out of the bed and got out of the cave. The ugly big man also instantly transformed into an octopus comparable to a giant ship, carrying the old man forward rapidly on the bottom of the sea.
At night, Ye Sanlang and Li Sihan stood beside Class A, looking at the vast sea in the dark night and the stars in the sky, looking at each other speechlessly.
After a long time, Li Sihan slowly said: "Sanlang, this seems to be the first time you have accompanied me since the night of Shangyuan Festival."
He nodded. Indeed, after so long, he did owe her something.
"Sihan, you have suffered a lot from following me for so long, I..."
Li Sihan covered his mouth and said, "Don't say anything. What I know is my choice. I don't blame you."
"Sihan..." Ye Sanlang suddenly had an impulse. He looked around and hugged Li Sihan and kissed his lips. You know, he has never kissed such a peerless face. Woolen cloth.
Li Sihan originally closed her eyes, but as a cultivator, her sensitivity prevented her from enjoying this short-term happiness.
"Under the sea... there seems to be something approaching..."
Yes, even though Ye Sanlang had just started, his intuition told him that something was wrong.
"This is the sea. You shouldn't be able to use your mind to find Qi, right? There are no dragon veins on the sea."
"No, although it is on the sea, the sea has a bottom, and dragon veins are all over the world. You try it first."
Ye Sanlang closed his eyes and felt the power of countless water energy coming from the sea. In the darkness, a shadow slowly appeared.
He was so frightened that he didn't bother to tell Li Sihan, and immediately ran to the bow of the ship and sounded the alarm.
The sound of "dang-dang-dang" was so harsh at night that many crew members woke up immediately, and it didn't take long for many people to gather on the deck.
"What's going on?" everyone asked.
"Octopus, an octopus bigger than our ship!"
"How is that possible!" Captain Ma said in surprise. "I have heard of giant squid and octopus, but those are creatures that only exist on the bottom of distant oceans. How could I encounter them in this small Bohai Sea?"
Li Sihan took a step forward and said: "No, not those wild ones. Among the immortals in the world, there is a strange man named Seabed Old Monster. He is a high-level immortal-level cultivation. He likes to live on the bottom of the sea. He has a A giant octopus that has just become a monster and is very good at making money. Recently there are rumors that he is working as a bounty hunter. Maybe Yan Zhuang just let us go to sea just so that this old monster from the sea can sink us."
"What should we do?" Two immortal-level opponents, how could they, a group of ordinary people, be opponents?
