One year, Samurai went to sea to go to Nishiyama Sutra as usual, and brought the planned quantity of shark gauze to each faction. But on the way to the sea, they were blocked and robbed by a group of extremely vicious wild cultivators. Even though the merchant ships were equipped with giant crossbows at that time, and the crossbow arrows were spiritual weapons, they still could not defeat the group of wild cultivators.
The group of wild cultivators seemed to have been ambushing here for a long time, and all of their cultivations were extremely strong. The tribesmen led by Xiao Siyu were unable to resist the powerful attack of the group of wild cultivators, and soon the entire merchant ship was approaching. crisis.
At the critical moment, a warship came quickly from outside the sea. It was the Kongtong faction led by Shen Hantang who came to support.
When the group of wild cultivators saw someone coming from the fairy world, they had no choice but to rush towards the supplies on the ship. They didn't have time to plunder them all, so they had to collect all the valuable things in front of them and then flew away.
When Shen Hantang saw that the group of wild cultivators were so blatant, they even wanted to rob the Sharks in front of the rules established by the six sects of the Immortal Realm and the three sects of the Demon Realm. He left a few people to take care of the people on the Shark tribe's boat, while he led other people with good cultivation levels to pursue the group of wild cultivators.
As the sun sets over the Western Mountains, the sea is quiet and the sunset shines on the entire sea, making it shine brightly.
Ji Siyu stood outside the port, staring into the distance.
This time, there are twenty pieces of croakers supplied to the four sects of Xishan Jing, and twenty pieces each to other small and medium-sized sects of Xishan Jing. Now the remaining ones are only eleven or two, what should we do? If the shark's silk ribbons were not submitted on time this time, with all their past experiences back then, would they be cruel to their own people again?
Ji Siyu didn't dare to think too much, but he kept praying in his heart, hoping that Shen Hantang could help him recover Ji Xiao.
Outside the horizon, the warship was approaching in the distance. Shen Hantang was in the lead, standing on the bow of the ship facing the wind. His clothes were in tatters and there were a few blood stains on his body.
Ji Siyu looked at the man's appearance. It was the first time that she looked at Shen Hantang so seriously.
As the distance got closer, Xiao Siyu could see all the injuries on Shen Hantang's body, and a look of guilt quietly appeared in her eyes.
Shen Hantang didn't say much, he just apologized to Shark Siyu for not discovering that the Sharks were trapped in time, and for arriving a little late, which caused them to be injured.
Finally, Shen Hantang also escorted several wild cultivators to Qian Siyu and told her with a guilty look on his face, "These are a few of them. Some of them who are good at movement have escaped. Some of them were robbed of supplies and recovered. You go first." Take a rough inventory.”
Ji Siyu nodded slightly and said nothing more, but Shen Hantang nodded and smiled, turned around and led his fellow disciples away.
The next day, when the heads of each faction arrived at the port to meet with Samurai, Samurai had no choice but to inform everyone about what happened yesterday, and promised that after returning this time, he would immediately bring back the insufficient amount of shark gimmicks to compensate. Various factions.
But how could the people from several sects in the Immortal Realm give up? Among them, a woman from Peach Blossom Tower was even more aggressive, saying, "There are happy events to be celebrated in my building these days, and the owner of the building needs new clothes to receive distinguished guests. You missed me." This is a big deal for the poster, can you bear the consequences?"
"That's right, although Liuguang Island is close to Xishan Jing, the sea is vast after all. Can you come back in time? Our middle and elders have plans, and they just want to use Jian Xiao to handle things. Don't you know that you are trying to harm us? "Some unknown factions followed and echoed.
"In my opinion, it could be that over the years, you Sharks have gradually developed and no longer take our Western Mountain Scripture seriously, right? If you say that we were robbed by wild cultivators, just say that you don't want to give it to us. Now. All the sects and sects in the entire world of immortals and demons are looking after you, the Shark Clan. Who dares to pay attention to you? Are you tired of living? Even if you have to make up an excuse, you can at least make it so that everyone can believe it." Around you, Someone else said sarcastically.
"That's right. In the past, this shark's silk was handed over to our faction today. Now if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us. If you delay my faction's affairs, I can't bear the blame from the superiors. Since I can't hand over the shark's silk today. , don’t go back, follow me back to the door to explain to the elders, I don’t want to be your scapegoat.”
Qian Siyu clenched her fists tightly, her face turned pale, and she bit her lip as she looked at the disgusting faces, not daring to speak. She didn't want to be negligent and put her people in danger again.
These shark gauze were woven by their own clansmen who worked hard day and night, but in their eyes, it seemed that these were what they deserved. Since it belongs to you, why did you have to force yourself so hard in the end after someone robbed it? Xiao Siyu felt miserable in his heart, but he was helpless.
Just as each faction was about to forcibly take the Shark clan members away, Shen Hantang, who had just returned from the port, hurriedly ran over. He was originally going to receive Shark Xiao from his faction, but he saw several people from the Immortal Realm pulling Sharks away. Si Yu and his party walked down.
At the moment, some people asked about the reason without knowing it. When he understood the ins and outs of the matter, Shen Hantang couldn't help but frown a little.
"Dear fellow Taoists, it is indeed true that the Sharks tribe was attacked overseas yesterday. At that time, I happened to be handling sect affairs overseas in Canghai. I accidentally noticed that there was gunpowder smoke in the distance, so I wanted to go and find out. Little did I know that it was the merchant ships of the Sharks tribe that were attacked by some The wild cultivators maliciously ambushed and attacked, which caused the Shark tribe to suffer heavy losses. At that time, I led my Taoist friends in the sect to chase that group of wild cultivators, but only a few of them escaped. I can testify to this." Shen Hantang raised his hands and said slowly to the people in front of him.
Jin Siyu, who was imprisoned in the immortal world, listened blankly to Shen Hantang's explanation. Looking at his humble and polite gesture, he felt a little stunned for a moment.
The people who had previously made things difficult for Ji Siyu gradually calmed down after hearing what Shen Hantang said.
This Shen Hantang has a good reputation. Various sects have business dealings with him and deal with Shen Hantang. Everyone trusts him. Therefore, Shen Hantang has an excellent reputation among the sects in the outer mountains.
"Even so, it can only be blamed on the Shark Clan's poor protection. I lost my Shark Silk and ruined my landlord's affairs. Who can bear this responsibility?" The woman from Peach Blossom Tower said with a cold snort.
When Shen Hantang saw this, he also frowned a little. He nodded and thought for a moment, then slowly said to Shark Siyu, "Miss Shark, may I ask how much shark roux you have left in your hands now?"
Ji Siyu was stunned for no apparent reason, but he still said truthfully, "Only eleven horses were brought back. Adding the seventeen horses recovered by Manager Shen yesterday, there are twenty-eight horses in total."
When Shen Hantang heard this, Weiwei calculated it secretly and said with a wry smile, "In previous years, the scriptures shipped to Xishan were always forty horses, but now there is still a difference of twelve horses."
Xiao Siyu lowered his head in loneliness and did not answer.
"Manager Shen, in my opinion, it's better to take this Shark tribe back and hand it over to each faction. If the distribution is uneven, no one will agree, so why bother ourselves? Do you think so or not?" someone said at the side. .
Shen Hantang looked up and saw that Xiao Siyu's face was getting paler and the people behind him were trembling.
A trace of calmness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled heartily, cupped his hands towards the leaders of each faction and said, "Everyone, why don't you listen to what I say first, Shen? There are still twelve pieces of shark gauze, so I, Kongtong, won't take it away from me first." This means that there are still seven pieces left. To be honest, I have kept a few pieces of shark gauze in my family over the years. I remember that there should be three more pieces in the warehouse. Although they are not specifically new this year, they are after all, among the shark gauze. If you fellow Taoists can agree, I will take out these three pieces of shark shawl first. As for the remaining four pieces, can I, Shen, discuss it with you? If I can sell Shen a face today, the remaining four pieces, I, Shen, will pay back double the amount in the coming year."
After Shen Hantang finished speaking, the heads of the various factions were shocked. Even Ji Siyu looked at him in disbelief, wondering why he would help him like this.
"Mr. Shen is so generous. How can I, Tianhong Valley, make things difficult for others? I promise you this. I will only take one piece today. The remaining four pieces, Mr. Shen, don't forget what you said." On the side, a man from Tianhong The person in charge of the valley laughed and said. After saying this, he didn't want to stay too long. After nodding his regards to Shen Hantang, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't say anything more. Now that they could get their share back, they had no choice but to nod.
Shen Hantang looked around, then sent someone to fetch the inventory from the warehouse, and then smiled at Shark Siyu and said, "Miss Shark, please give the remaining shark squid to each faction first, and then distribute it according to what I just said." Can. "
Ji Siyu looked at Shen Hantang, who was calm and nodded towards him.
In this way, what was originally a major matter that made the various factions of Xishan Jing reluctant to give up, was handled steadily by Shen Hantang in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, Xishan passes the easternmost port, the setting sun sets, and the sea surface sparkles.
Shen Hantang and his colleagues were busy working back and forth on the Shark tribe's merchant ship. When the sky gradually darkened, they slowly led everyone off the ship.
When Shen Hantang saw a group of people from the Shark clan looking at him outside the port, he waved his hands and smiled at Shark Siyu in front of him and said, "Miss Shark, the merchant ship has been almost repaired, but some of it is built by your Shark clan. We It’s hard to change, but it won’t affect navigation, you can go back, but be careful on the road this time.”
Ji Siyu looked at Shen Hantang's gentle smile. It was the first time she felt someone from the immortal world taking care of her. It was something she had never felt before.
"I'm sending you the shark gauze. I will weave it for you this time when you go back. When the quantity is enough, I will send it to you." Shark Siyu lowered his head and said quietly.
Shen Hantang paused, but he didn't think much about it. At this time, he was standing in front of Qian Siyu. Seeing her always looking cold and speaking little, he smiled softly and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry. After a while, we will bring them together next year."
Qian Siyu pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "Every faction loves Qiang Xiao. You didn't get it this year, and you even helped me get three pieces. How do you explain it to the door?"
Shen Hantang was slightly startled, but he did not expect that Qian Siyu would say these words.
"It doesn't matter. The business of our school has been pretty good over the past few years. There are basically our business and trade points throughout the Xishan Jing. Some of the shark's yarn will flow into the market. I have my own way to take it back." Shen Hantang spoke easily. Not at all concerned.
"Although I don't know how much money the shark gauze can sell for here, but over the years, I have seen various factions get excited every time they come to hand over things, and I also know how precious the shark gauze is. What's more, this shark gauze is not only mine, shark In addition to the unique textile skills of the tribe, the fabrics and decorations are all found by our tribe from the depths of the sea, and they are also rare treasures. Please help me rescue me this time, I can't make it difficult for you." "Jian Siyu" Wuran raised his head and said seriously.
Seeing that Ji Siyu's face was focused and there was a trace of stubbornness in his eyes, Shen Hantang looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little moved for a moment.
"Miss Shark, I, Shen, know what you are thinking, but you don't have to worry. Although I, Shen Hantang, am not born with the qualifications to practice, I am still very confident in doing business. I said before that I have three pieces of shark roux in my sect. In fact, Those are also my own collections over the years, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make my own decisions. And I am also confident that I can earn back the remaining crocodiles within a certain period of time, so I made that guarantee to each faction. ." Shen Hantang said slowly and confidently.
Seeing the man's courage in front of him, Qian Siyu's eyes gradually softened.
"thank you."
Shen Hantang was absent-minded for a moment. It was the first time he saw the smile on Qian Siyu's face, which was as beautiful as a flash in the pan.
"But I will still bring Shark Xiao. This is also the promise of my Shark clan."
Shen Hantang smiled bitterly and said, "In the past few years, I have seen that Miss Shark and a woman can travel across the sea to this far. Shen also admires her. It's not me who refuses Miss Shark's kindness. It's just that the sea is vast and the journey is long. It’s far away, the sea is unpredictable, and there are other surprises, so why risk yourself so many times?”
"There is a risk once, so how can there be other risks? I have been prepared since I was in charge of this sea route." The sea breeze blew by, and Samaki's raincoat rustled, and his black hair fluttered.
Shen Hantang looked at Ji Siyu's expression and was speechless for a moment.
When a woman's temperament is right, she is never worse than a man.
The two stood looking at each other, under the afterglow, stranded on the beach, looking at each other in the wind, gradually filling the night sky.
Stars filled the field and the sky was boundless. From time to time, meteors cut through the night and fell towards the surroundings of the sky and the earth.
Qian Siyu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the gentle scene before her eyes, and then smiled slightly. This was the first time she had been touched in these years of sailing. It was not for two worlds, but for one person.
She had a very beautiful smile, and she was beautiful and charming. Under the vast night sky, she was even more stunning.
"In the eyes of the people of the two worlds, we, the Shark clan, have always been regarded as a benefit existence by them. Why do you want to help me?" Shark Siyu asked him at the beach at that time.
Shen Hantang seemed to have expected this question from Ji Siyu and did not answer. He turned around and looked at the sea. After a long time, he said something that she could not understand.
"A girl's journey is the sea of stars. She comes from the sea, her sleeves are covered with waves, and she hides her dreams."
Xiao Siyu listened in a daze because he was looking into the distance and talking to the sea.
