Chapter 199 Fight with me
The next morning.

Su Mo came to the deck early.

Not to blow the first ray of river wind in the morning, but to meet the masters.

Last night, the spies found out that along the river, those big thieves who were just about to make a move had died down, and their soldiers and horses had returned to their camps.

It's just that it was too late last night, and I didn't dare to disturb Su Mo's rest.

So let me know this morning.

And when they informed of this, the already formed ship array was gradually dissipating.

So far, a small episode on the way has passed.

After Su bid farewell to the masters, the shopkeeper Zhan drove the boat and set off on the journey again.

It's just that after that, the shopkeeper Zhan's attitude towards Su Mo changed drastically.

Between the conversation, it often makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Food and drink are delivered on time, but it's a pity...Su Mo has never enjoyed it.

After all, it wasn't his own boat, although the shopkeeper Zhan didn't look like a bad guy.

However, after all, it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and it is difficult to paint the bones.

It's always good to be more prepared when you're out and about.

After another two days, the ferry of Jiyang has arrived.

Under the boat, all the goods in the escort agency have been removed, the boxes are loaded into the car, the horses and carts are saddled, and with a wave of hand, the flag of the Ziyang escort agency moves with the wind.

Shopkeeper Zhan led his people off the boat as well, biding farewell to Su Mo:

"I never thought that this small boat of mine would have the opportunity to attract such a big figure as Chief Security Officer Su.

"It's a pity that we got together for a short time. I hope we can meet again in the future."

Su Mo laughed: "The trumpet is in Luoxia City. If you want to see you again, when Shopkeeper Zhan passes by Luoxia City in the future, you can come to Ziyang Bodyguard Bureau to find me. At that time, I will be the host, so I should invite Shopkeeper Zhan to have a drink. "

"Agreed?"

"it is good."

After that, the two of them laughed.

After laughing, Shopkeeper Zhan took a look at Li Zhongcheng, and Li Zhongcheng immediately came to him holding another box.

Seeing this, Su Mo was taken aback: "This is Shopkeeper Zhan?"

"This is a gift of apology."

"... Shopkeeper Zhan is too courteous, but where does the word apology come from?"

"Hey……"

Shopkeeper Zhan sighed: "Let me tell the truth to President Su, I hope that Chief Su will not be annoyed.

"When I was on the ship earlier, although I had a lot of respect for Chief Su's bodyguard, I never really took it seriously.

"Communication with gifts is the principle of my life.

"Laugh often when you see people, and make more friends, so you can make a lot of money.

"It's just that what Qianlimu gave as a gift was a bit sloppy.

"At that time, I never thought that Chief Su's bodyguard might ride the wind and waves in the South China Sea one day.

"So there is one thing that hasn't been explained."

"Oh?"

Su Mo smiled: "What the shopkeeper said is that Qianlimu is a contraband at sea?"

"As expected, Chief Su's bodyguard already knew about it."

Shopkeeper Zhan glanced at Wei Ziyi who was preparing the carriage next to him, and said softly: "I didn't think about it at the time, and later I found out that the chief escort of Su is a real hero in the world, and Nanhai is just a no-brainer.

"That's when I realized that I was rude and suspected of plotting secretly.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about tea and food, thinking about how to make up for this mistake...

"In the end, I thought that Chief Su's bodyguard seemed quite curious about the South China Sea, so I thought of this."

He reached out and took Li Zhongcheng's box, and opened it casually, but inside was a set of scrolls.

Shopkeeper Zhan picked up the scroll and handed it to Su Mo: "Please take a look at Chief Su's bodyguard."

"it is good."

Su Mo agreed, and pulled the scroll away casually.

It's a map...or, to be more precise, a sea chart.

On the way there is an island, and some descriptions of the surrounding waters.

Su Mo glanced at the shopkeeper in a strange way.

Shopkeeper Zhan said with a smile, "This is a treasure map.

"The island depicted above is where the treasure is hidden.

"Of course, there are many treasure maps like this in the South China Sea.

"There are many people who are willing to find the secrets in these seas.

"However, even if the real treasure map is in hand, if you want to find the treasure, you have to look at the time and fate.

"The South China Sea is huge and the sea area is vast. Sometimes, if the opportunity is not met, even if you find death, you will be empty-handed.

"I obtained this picture from a person of considerable status. It has been half my life in my hands. There are more than a dozen copies of rubbing copies. Unfortunately... I have never found it. this place.

"Boss Chief Su was very interested in the South China Sea, so he simply gave it to Chief Su, as an apology.

"Maybe when Chief Su's bodyguard comes to the South China Sea in the future, the opportunity is so great, but he found it right away?"

Su Mo was dumbfounded. Shopkeeper Zhan was obviously talking about it. He searched for half his life but couldn't find it. How could he have such a good luck to find it all at once.

It's just that there is no chance, but it can't be said that this thing is completely meaningless.

Holding it in Su Mo's hand, he really felt a little pleased with Liexin.

I have heard of the treasure map, but this is the first time I have actually seen it.

After reading it several times, he nodded his head: "Since that's the case, then Su is ashamed to accept it. If he finds the above things in the future, he will definitely not forget the kindness of shopkeeper Zhan."

"Hahaha, if the Chief Escort can be found, all you need to do is tell me. It will be a relief to me."

Shopkeeper Zhan laughed.

At this moment, a voice came:
"Chief Escort, the carriage is ready."

"Okay, come on."

Su Mo yelled for the rest of his life without looking back, then cupped his fists and said, "Master Zhan, there will be a farewell to sending you off for thousands of miles, let's just say goodbye."

"Well, I wish Chief Escort Su a smooth journey and success in no time."

"Thank you, farewell!"

Su Mo clasped his fists again, then turned and left.

Flying on the horse, turning around immediately, shopkeeper Zhan and others waved their hands immediately.

Su Mo lightly clasped his fists, and then urged the horse to go away.

It wasn't until Su Mo was nowhere to be seen at the Jiyang Ferry that the shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief:

"This land of the Eastern Wasteland is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Who would have thought that there would be such a master in an escort agency?"

The man in black nodded slightly, and took a look at the shopkeeper: "If you strike on the river, this person has enough strength. If the intruder didn't occupy the right place and people, he might have given his life with the first palm." out.

"This person's martial arts are so high...it can be described as unbelievable."

"Oh?"

Shopkeeper Zhan glanced at him: "If you make a move?"

"...Then I will die."

The man in black didn't even think about it, but after the words fell, he frowned again and looked back at the ship:
"However, if..."

"Silence."

Shopkeeper Zhan's eyes changed slightly.

The man in black immediately fell silent.

……

……

"The group of shopkeepers are a little strange."

Re-enter the boundary of the East City, continue on the road, and the destination is the Lengyue Palace.

Wei Ziyi is actually quite familiar with this journey.

However, traveling alone or traveling in a group is different from escorting goods.

So whether it's Wei Ziyi, or the little Situ from the Xuanhu Pavilion, Su Mo is still the main one in everything.

While walking at this time, Wei Ziyi didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the shopkeeper Zhan, and said:
"Come here from the South China Sea to do business, but it's just such a small boat.

"This journey is far away, and there are many twists and turns on the waterway. The cost is not small...

"and……"

Speaking of this, Wei Ziyi paused slightly, and said with a smile: "If you really just want to explore the water, you can trade in Luoxia City, why bother to step into the depths of the Eastern Wilderness?"

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi in surprise:
"Miss Wei suddenly became smart?"

"...I've always been smart, okay?"

Wei Ziyi was very unconvinced by this: "I was just too lazy to use my brain some time ago."

"Okay, okay, Miss Wei is smart and smart, it can be said to be the best in the world!"

Facing the suddenly high-pitched Miss Luofengmeng, Su Mo could only retreat steadily:

"However, if you think about it seriously, it's really not worth it. Everyone has their own purpose, and it's impossible to tell everyone about this purpose.

"It's enough to go out of my way to fabricate a lie for you.

"Are you still planning to let people pour out their hearts and souls to you as soon as they meet you?

"Not to mention that Shopkeeper Zhan is a businessman who travels widely, and his ability to talk nonsense when he sees people is already at its peak.

"Even if it's just an ordinary person, it wouldn't be like that, right?

"It's not a fool."

"So, you already know that their purpose is not just to do business?"

Wei Ziyi asked.

Su Mo nodded: "At least it's not as simple as doing business, and there should be experts in their group."

"Master?"

Wei Ziyi was stunned: "The man in black? That man has a faint murderous aura all over his body, obviously he has been battle-tested for a long time. However, it is hard to estimate how high his specific martial arts are without looking at his moves."

"Do not……"

Su Mo shook his head: "Although the martial arts of the man in black should be good, he is not much higher than Dazhaizhu and others.

"The real master, there is someone else... Well, but I won't talk about it, Miss Wei is very smart, she is the best in the world, why don't you invite Miss Wei to guess?"

"Guess……"

Wei Ziyi's face darkened. Sure enough, even if grandpa wanted to marry this guy himself, he would not be reconciled, right?
Why is this person so annoying?
I really don't know what Yang's sister likes about him?
But having said all that, Wei Ziyi was not willing to show weakness.

Immediately he pondered slightly and said, "Could it be the shopkeeper Zhan? Since he is the leader of this group of people, he naturally has extraordinary abilities. Although he is wide and fat, if he has deep internal strength, he may not be a burden."

"..."

Su Mo gave her a blank look: "The shopkeeper is really just a businessman, pampered. If you take two quick steps, you will be out of breath."

"That……"

Wei Ziyi thought for a while: "The middle-aged scribe?"

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi: "Although real people don't show their faces, they are not real people. But Miss Wei's guess is a bit hasty?
"The middle-aged scribe is so weak that he would shake for a long time when the wind blows on the river bank.

"Looking at his behavior, it is by no means a disguise, and he should not be a master."

"That also makes sense... But this is not true, and that is not true. Could it be that Li Zhongcheng?"

"Li Zhongcheng is indeed not a master."

Su Mo said with a smile: "He is unstable, his footwork is shaky, and he doesn't have any martial arts.

"Although the internal strength has been cultivated to a certain level, it can be hidden without leakage, just like ordinary people.

"But at the end of the day there's a difference."

"The shopkeeper, a middle-aged scribe, a man in black, plus a Li Zhongcheng.

"There are four people in total. I can't guess. Could it be that the master hid in the boat and never came out?"

Wei Ziyi frowned.

"I think so too."

Unexpectedly, Su Mo nodded.

"..."

"There is another expert hidden on board?"

Wei Ziyi frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Isn't this just guessing?"

"Is there any basis for guessing?"

"You also know that when they came from the South China Sea, there must be many twists and turns. If this group of people only relied on the man in black, they might not even be able to enter the Eastern Wilderness, and they would have died on the South China Sea.

"The sea is stormy and the methods will only become more brutal. They must have been accompanied by masters if they were able to sail all the way here.

"Besides... the thousand-mile eye, as you said, is forbidden at sea. Ordinary people can't get it...

"Although Shopkeeper Zhan spoke vaguely and did not explain the origin of this object, it can be expected that he must have an extraordinary identity, otherwise, how dare he use this thousand-mile eye as a stepping stone?
"Small business, businessman, this kind of words, it's fine to use them to fool people, but if you really think about it, it's unreasonable."

"...It really makes sense."

Wei Ziyi frowned: "However, if your guess is true, what will the masters of the South China Sea sneak into the Eastern Wilderness secretly, and what will they be planning?
"I'll report this matter to my teacher later, it's better to get people to watch more."

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Let's not talk much so far, let's move on.

It's just that at this point, there are more twists and turns on the road.

From time to time, there will be a strong man who cuts the diameter, and occasionally there will be a passing expert spying.

At night, I often miss Sutou.

It's not that there is a problem with the itinerary that Su Mo made with Yang Xiaoyun earlier, but that there are problems with these places themselves.

Some have changed owners inexplicably.

Some simply disappeared, leaving only ruins.

In the end, they had to camp on the spot and bury the pot to make food.

It is not uncommon for dart guards to set up stoves and bury pots for cooking if they do not meet for three meetings.

Unexpectedly, Escort Li has a good cooking skill.

When cooking, his expression was serious, and he was even more solemn than fighting with others on weekdays.

Although the conditions are limited when he is away from home, Li Escort's cooking skills make Su Mo feel that the food here seems to be better than at home?
……

……

It's the middle of the day.

On the halfway up Tuniu Mountain, a group of bandits were sitting beside a boulder and sighing.

"Master, our journey to this point has been full of troubles.

"Nowadays, the total manpower is no more than sixty or seventy people.

"You have to count the family members, if you don't count the family members, there are only twenty or thirty people...

"Although Tuniu Mountain has a cottage that others don't want for us to shelter temporarily, but if it continues like this, it's not an option."

A ragged man with a disheveled face said while shaking his head:
"Also, master, I have to advise you, we are bandits.

"What is a bandit?
"There is a saying that drinking in big bowls, eating meat in big pieces, and sharing money in big scales is a business without capital.

"This is the bandit!

"Our cottage is not a shantang, you are so nice, who are you saving?
"It's good now. A few days ago, I stole a little white flour from the foot of the mountain. I made batter and fed it to a useless person."

"Shut up."

The head of the family snorted: "You are still a scholar, don't you know the way when you hear about robbers?"

"...This is what I taught you."

"I can learn, have you learned?"

Seeing that he dared to talk back, the head of the family immediately glared.

The people around him immediately shrank their necks, not daring to speak.

Seeing that his power is still useful, the head of the family nodded:

"We came all the way to Dongcheng to make a comeback.

"The southwestern land is full of dangers, if you are not careful, you don't know who you will provoke...

"This time I saw the opportunity early, otherwise, you people would have already been killed!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed dryly:

"What the big boss said is very true... But, compared with the Southwest, what are the advantages of this East City?"

"What's the benefit?"

With a hula, the head of the family picked up his big gold-threaded big ring knife:

"There are many sects in the east city, and there are many places that the tentacles can't take care of. This is a great opportunity for us to show our ambitions!

"You and I recuperate here, plunder merchants along the way, expand manpower, and strengthen our stronghold.

"Over time, we occupy a mountain top, with a large number of people, roaring in groups.

"Even if they are disciples of the great sect, they can only be intimidated by us, instead they have to curry favor with us.

"At that level, our group will really have nothing to worry about eating and drinking."

He was impassioned, but his stomach growled inappropriately, and he muttered for a while, which was quite unconvincing.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the batter that was fed to the useless man this morning, and he felt a little regretful.

It's true that thieves have their own way... But, you can't sacrifice yourself for others, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps approaching in a hurry.

"The master of the house, the master of the house!"

A disheveled thief came out of the grass, and said repeatedly:
"Business is up!"

"what?"

When the head of the family heard it, he was overjoyed: "Can you see who is there?"

"See clearly."

The little thief nodded again and again: "There is a flag on the car, the wind is blowing, it is very majestic, but I can't read."

"...how many people?"

"Not many, just two cars. The things on the cars are sealed and look quite expensive."

"it is good!"

The head of the family laughed loudly: "After a few days of hard work, a fat sheep will come to the door after all. Come here, bring my knife."

Everyone looked at the big golden ring knife in the master's own hand in astonishment, and wondered, do I have to snatch it before carrying it?

The head of the family also discovered the secret while bowing his head, or else he had to be the head of the house.

After losing such a big man, he didn't blush or breathe, and waved the knife casually:

"Little ones, fight with me!!!"
