, "Rurouni sword? I remember I also had one. It was just that I lost it in Gui Country and never got it back."
Chi Chao remembered the Evil Soldier Drifter Sword that he still owned and abandoned in front of the Guiyuan Gate after the battle.
"But fortunately, I still have a sense for it, so I just need to bring it back as soon as possible. I also need to bring back the [Demon-Conquering Treasure Staff] from the Wulong Academy in the Wild Country."
At present, the only weapon Chi Chao can produce is the external soul weapon of King Nanling - Xing Kshatriya. Many people have seen this big black sword, and these are all people from the era of King Nanling. There are still strong people in the world.
There is no one among them who is not greedy for this weapon. Chi Chao cannot use it anytime and anywhere, which involves taking great risks.
"When I get to Xi Country, I have to ask someone to find me a good rogue sword."
After the boat had been sailing for half an hour, Yu Xiaole from behind said, "Thirteenth Young Master, we are almost at Pingcheng Pier. Is this iron bastard looking for a place to hide? He is so different."
Chi Chaan patted the dragon boat and said, "That's right. Find a place with deep water to help sink it."
After Chi Chuan and his two men found a place to sink the dragon boat, they hired a small canoe to sail to Pingcheng Pier.
As we get closer to Pingcheng, there are more and more boats nearby. Sometimes there will be five boats traveling in parallel, and a few novice boatmen will bump into other people's boats.
The boatman slowed down the boat more and more, and drove the canoe more and more cautiously towards the dock in Pingcheng. This canoe was the boatman's most valuable property. Once it was hit and leaked, his whole life's livelihood would be gone.
Fortunately, the small canoe avoided other canoes and was about to reach the dock smoothly.
"boom!"
At this moment, there was a huge collision sound from behind Chi Chao's small canoe. When they looked back, they saw a large ship with an iron bow speeding towards the dock.
For the wooden boat in front of it, the person driving the boat had no intention of avoiding it. Several boats had been broken into two parts by the collision of its iron head. The people on the boat were lucky enough to fall into the water. Unlucky, they had already been hit by the iron boat. His head was bruised and bloody.
The small canoe that Chi Chao and the others were in happened to be in front of that ship, and they would be hit by it after a while.
The boatman tried his best to hold the pole, trying to divert the small canoe away from the big ship that was about to enter the dock.
However, it was too late.
The boatman was still reluctant to abandon his small canoe and had no intention of diving to avoid the collision. However, when Yu Xiaole next to Chi Chaan saw the big ship that had crashed away, he plunged into the water and jumped into the water with a splash. Swim out for tens of meters.
The water bandits who have been living in the water for a long time are indeed extraordinary. Chi Chaan had a new view of Yu Xiaole. Although this person didn't look very good, he was indeed reliable at certain times, especially the quality of knowing how to avoid danger at the right time.
"Old man, let's go!"
Chi Chaan held the boatman's back collar and stepped on it with his feet. He and the boatman took off on the same spot. Chi Chaan and the boatman glided in the air together until they landed steadily on the dock.
The big boat hit the small canoe the moment they settled on the dock. At this time, its speed was several times higher than before. The small canoe was directly smashed into pieces, and the broken wood pieces were scattered on the water.
Who are the people on the big ship? How could he be so arrogant and not take ordinary people into consideration!
Chi Chaan looked at the big ship. The flag of the Gui State was hanging on the ship. The people on the big ship were actually from the Gui State!
Chi Chaan took the boatman beside him and joined the crowd watching the excitement. Yu Xiaole, who fell into the water first, also climbed up to the shore and found Chi Chaan on the shore.
"Old man, are you okay?" Chi Chao asked the boatman who was still in the pain of losing his boat.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! Thank you guest for your help."
The boatman thanked Chi Chaan repeatedly and almost knelt down, but Chi Chaan wouldn't let him.
"Xiao Le, give the boatman those few taels of silver to buy a new boat."
Chi Chaan said to Yu Xiaole.
"Thirteenth Young Master, I..."
"I'll pay you twice as much when you go back. Get the money quickly."
After giving the instructions, Chi Chaan turned his attention to the arrogant and domineering Guiguo ship. He looked at the slowly lowering pedals on the ship, and the people on it gradually revealed their heads.
Those people were officials from the Gui Kingdom, and some of them he knew, including Fei Yi, the Minister of Rites, and Dong Yun, the Minister of Military Affairs. Their faces showed arrogance and pride.
"People from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Military Affairs have come, and they look so arrogant. It seems that things are not simple." After looking at it, Chi Chaan thought for a moment, "Is there going to be a negotiation?"
Chi Chaan immediately thought of Gui Dongdong, who was still in Xi Kingdom. This might be the reason why Gui Kingdom sent people here.
"Brother, do you know what these Gui people are here for?" Chi Chaan asked a boy selling sesame seeds next to him.
"Why are you here? We're not here for peace talks. Ever since the Gui people captured Qinghe County, our important town in the south, they have been extremely reckless and want us to use a lot of money and offerings in exchange for it. These people are now Come to negotiate terms!"
The man selling sesame seeds was filled with indignation. The more he spoke, the more angrily he stared at the group of Gui officials.
At this time, a pair of acquaintances whom Chi Chaan knew came out of the crowd coming down from Guiguo.
"Is she here too?"
The people Chi Chao saw were Yuwen Yu, the legitimate daughter of the Yuwen family, and her husband, Shu Jinglun, the only son of Tiger General Shu Geye.
At this time, she was already a woman, and she lacked the sassy temperament that was rare for women at that time.
It is easy to destroy an ambitious woman by giving her a child to whom all her attention is directed.
Yu Wenyu got off the boat, holding a little girl beside him. The little girl's face was pink, perhaps from the recent river breeze. Her tall nose resembled her mother's, but her eyes were not. It's like her father.
"Are they here too? Do they want to play the sympathy card with Gui Dongdong?"
Chi Chaan thought that people who came out of the boat would still have a bath in the pool, but everyone came out and no one saw his shadow.
"Huh? At times like this, shouldn't it be the time when Ichito is in the limelight?"
Chi Chaan served as Gui's peace envoy, so Chi Tang would certainly not lose to him as a substitute. He would also find an opportunity to serve as an envoy to earn enough face.
What makes Chi Tang even more promising is that he did what Chi Chao failed to do.
"Thirteenth Young Master, what are you looking at?"
After Yu Xiaole arranged for the boatman, he ran back to find Chi Chaan.
"Nothing, take me to the [Momen] headquarters quickly."
Chi Chaan has no intention of taking care of these people who came from Gui State and have ulterior motives, so he lets the people of Xi State take care of these things. This is what they should do. It is unreasonable for Chi Chao to interfere.
"Thirteenth Young Master, shall we go now?" Yu Xiaole looked a little embarrassed.
"Otherwise?" Chi Chao asked puzzled.
"Thirteenth Young Master, I advise you not to go there now. It's not safe there." Yu Xiaole said softly.
Could it be that something big happened inside [Momen]? Upon hearing this, Chi Chaan guessed that something might have happened in [Momen], and it was a major event that would endanger the trip.
"What great changes have taken place in [Momen], tell me everything."
Chi Chao asked hurriedly.
"[Mo Clan] is no longer the [Mo Clan] that was controlled by Clan Master Lin. Since [Yufangzhai] was destroyed in Gui Kingdom three years ago, Clan Master Lin has been recovering from injuries. The matter of the Mo Sect was handled by three elders, but the three elders each pursued their own selfish interests and formed cliques. The Mo Sect, which was a good gangster, split into three major factions. Many of Lin Sect Leader's cronies were also removed from their posts. All power is concentrated in the hands of the three elders."
Yu Xiaole told Chi Chaan about the changes in [Momen] in the past three years. He used to be [Momen]'s confidant, confidant, confidant, leader Lin's sect. It turned out that he was going to be a spy in the Gui Kingdom. Because of this relationship, he was He was demoted to the border between Xiguo and Daze and worked as a spy. Forced by life, he became a water bandit.
"Where is Lin Lanzhi, the daughter of Master Lin? How is she?" Chi Chaan asked again, he was more concerned about the situation of his sworn sister.
"There is nothing wrong with the big girl. After all, she is the fiancée of Gu Qianhao, the young master of [Haixi Pavilion]. No matter how courageous the three elders of [Momen] are, they would not dare to offend the strongest cultivation sect in Xi Kingdom. ." Yu Xiaole said, "But the three elders still won't let the eldest girl go to [Mo Clan] and try to [Mo Clan] take back [Mo Clan]'s right to be the leader."
It seems that the first thing I have to deal with when I arrive in Xiguo is the issue of separation of powers in [Momen]. Chi Chaan was thinking in his heart.
"Okay, I understand."
Chi Chaan walked through the dense crowd and walked to the street. He was going to go into the city to find an inn to stay. Yu Xiaole also walked through the crowd and followed Chi Chaan.
"Thirteenth Young Master..."
"Stop, stop, stop." When Yu Xiaole was following him and yelling at him, Chi Chao interrupted him.
"Don't always call me Thirteenth Young Master or Thirteenth Young Master, so that others will know it's me." Chi Chaan didn't want the three elders of [Momen] to know about his return first.
"Then what should I call you?" Yu Xiaole scratched his head.
"Call me Young Master, and I need a new identity in order to avoid the detection of [Momen]. You can help me forge an identity certificate. My name is Liao Chun. He is from Guiguo. He is a person who has never passed the Guiguo national examination." A down-and-out scholar who failed the exam. He came to Xiguo to seek a career as an official." Chi Chao ordered Yu Xiaole to help him do something.
"Thirteen……"
"Hmm!" Chi Chao stared at Yu Xiaole behind him.
"No, no, no, young master! It's not difficult for you to ask me to apply for a fake identity certificate, but you have to have some money. Without any benefit, Xiguo's general traffic won't be able to do anything."
Yu Xiaole opened his palms and looked at Chi Chaan with a smile.
"How much do you want?" Chi Chao asked.
"Not much, three hundred taels of silver."
"Well, you pay it forward first, and I will pay you back five hundred taels later when I have money."
"Huh?" Yu Xiaole was surprised. Could it be that the Thirteenth Young Master of [Momen] couldn't afford a hundred taels of silver? Didn't I follow the wrong person? Should I sell him?
