Chapter 22: The Sea of ??Smoke and Sand
In the next few days, the area around Canghai began to become uneasy.
Shang Heng was a first-rank official in the court. He brought three thousand elite soldiers when he was ordered to come. As soon as the news of his death came out, the army began to panic, so the adjutant raised his troops to the market and searched for it in a large number of days. The city was full of storms and people were living in poverty.
Those tourists with swords are the targets of arrest. In order to avoid the storm, they retreated from the sea area, and few people dared to show their heads.
...
...
Five days later, noon.
Although it was noon, it was as gloomy as evening, with dark clouds covering the sun, like the eve of a storm.
Di Yunfeng sat in an inn at the dock, beside the window on the second floor, playing with the empty wine glass in his hand while looking at everything outside the dock. For fishermen who were eating the sea, in such bad weather, even the strongest fishing boats had to find a safe haven, so the dock was tied up with ships of all sizes and large to return to the port.
The big ship in Yuemanlou was forcibly dragged to the shore, and it could even be said to be stranded.
The officials and soldiers of the court occupied the entire ship and strictly controlled everyone on the ship. Di Yunfeng's thoughts belonged to this. How did Lou Xinyue bring Qin'er out?
"Huhhhh..." The wind blew.
Once the wind blows in coastal areas, it will never be too small, and it will also have a hint of moist and filthy smell.
The boats docked on the pier were shaking left and right, as if dancing.
"Crazy..." It's raining.
The downpour hit the ground, stirring up a fog, and then blowing from the strong wind to all directions. After a while, the entire coast was immersed in the comfortable mist and rain...
Di Yunfeng was reluctant to leave the beautiful scenery in front of him. He remembered that fogging would take place on 365 days a year in his hometown in the southwest of the country, at least 300 days. But the difference is that this is the foggy coast, and there is the foggy mountain top.
The swaying wind and rain hit the window, wet my clothes. Di Yunfeng sighed softly and was about to close the window, but at this time, in the heavy rain, two thin figures appeared. They were walking from the dock, wrapped in raincoats, and even though they had an umbrella on hand, they were inconvenient to open it.
Although Di Yunfeng couldn't see what they looked like, he knew in his heart that these two were the ones he was waiting for.
"This ghost weather is still typhoons are still blowing in autumn..."
Lou Xinyue entered the inn and complained together. Di Yunfeng stood behind the door with a very reluctant smile on her face. Lou Xinyue curled her lips. She knew why she had been around for more than two days.
"Come in first, it's windy outside." Di Yunfeng said, walking upstairs.
Lou Xinyue led Qin'er to follow her. Qin'er beside her didn't know who Di Yunfeng was, so she asked softly: "Owner, who is this unpleasant man?"
"I don't know either." Lou Xinyue shook her head, then looked at Qin'er with a smile, "But I probably guessed that he liked you and insisted on asking me to redeem you. I can tell you that although this person is not a likable person, he is a good man."
"Ah? This is not bad, this is not bad. The poster, you will marry me if you take me out. I won't do it, I won't do it..." Qin'er let out her hands and was so scared that she took her back. Di Yunfeng sighed lightly, grabbed her wrist with her backhand, and told her truthfully: "It was your brother Haisheng who asked me to come to find you. He is my brother, you are his sister, then you are my sister."
"Brother? You have news about my brother!" Qin'er grabbed Di Yunfeng's sleeve and looked like she had missed Haisheng for a long time.
Di Yunfeng was silent for a moment, and sighed again: "Let me sit down and talk..."
...
...
The human relationships and worldly styles were mostly regretful. Haisheng's death was like a bolt from the blue hit Qin'er's heart. The tears she shed were no more than rain outside the window. After crying for a long time, she finally fainted with a "whimper" due to excessive sadness.
Di Yunfeng placed Haiqin in the guest room, and he went downstairs to continue drinking to relieve his boredom. Although Haisheng's long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, his heart was still empty, and he had to let the Haisheng family live a good life...
Lou Xinyue poured wine for Di Yunfeng on the spot. After seeing the wine for three rounds, Di Yunfeng had a great time drinking, she took out a few silver notes from her arms and handed them to Di Yunfeng: "No matter what, I would like to thank you for helping you kill the dog official. There are 5,000 taels of silver notes here, and all major money houses can connect. This is also my and my senior brother's wish."
Di Yunfeng was not drunk because he could still shine after looking at the money, so he took the silver note without any politeness, and he never thanked him for what he deserved, and only praised: "It seems that Yuemanlou has made a lot of oil and water, and you call it "a little bit of heart" by you."
Lou Xinyue smiled proudly, waved her hand and said generously: "I promised that as long as the dog official dies, I will present it with both hands even if you want Yue Manlou."
Di Yunfeng blinked and reached out his hand, still not polite: "Then bring the Yuemanlou's house deed."
"this……"
Lou Xinyue was speechless for a moment, but she was not surprised. She just smiled bitterly: "The mountain gate was destroyed, and Yuemanlou should not exist for a long time. I am not stingy. I just came from Shang Henggou's death in Yuemanlou. After the imperial court used the excuse to seize all the rights of the big ship and Yuemanlou, saying that it was waiting for the next admiral to re-emplou... To be ashamed, I am no longer the owner of Yuemanlou."
"Then why didn't they drive you off the boat?" Di Yunfeng asked casually.
Lou Xinyue frowned and asked back, "Young Master Di, do you really want to hear it?"
"Can there be any conspiracy inside?" Di Yunfeng drank another glass of wine, but before Lou Xinyue could speak, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you should not tell me these intrigue conspiracies. I don't want to listen or I don't want to listen." After that, he wanted to get up and say goodbye, but suddenly he thought of something, so he stared at Lou Xinyue very seriously and asked word by word:
"Owner, you have lived on the water all year round, have you ever heard of the 'Zhenwu Kingdom'?"
Zhenwu Kingdom!
When Lou Xinyue heard these three words, Jiaorong couldn't help but sink and said in confusion: "What are you asking about this?"
Di Yunfeng said: "I came all the way from the northwest, and went around the streets to find those fortune tellers, climbed mountains and waded in the water to find those ladies. Although there were many different opinions, they pointed out a way: Zhenwu Kingdom has an inevitable connection with the sea." He looked at Lou Xinyue with great sincerity and said truthfully: "I want to go there to practice martial arts."
Lou Xinyue shook her head, showing regret in her beautiful eyes. She sighed: "Although you have high martial arts skills, true martial arts and martial arts are not the same concept. If you can't do it, you can't do it, and you can't do it."
Di Yunfeng's eyes lit up: "It seems you know a lot, so can you tell me the story here? I want to hear it."
"If you are a story, then I will tell it as a fun thing." Lou Xinyue paused, and then told the wonderful experiences in the Canghai area...
