Lord of Bones

Chapter 139 Qinghe Wharf (No.30 [-]rd)

Guan Tian frowned slightly, and asked subconsciously: "What? There are also your enemies in Shengxing City?"

"No." Li Yunqing shook his head and said softly, "Brother Guan, our ancestors lived in Shengxing City. Later, Shengxing City fell, and conflicts broke out within the family.

"The branch we are in is the weakest and moved to the remote Maran City. More than 20 years ago, my father and mother went back to recognize their ancestors. Xiao Yuanzi was born in Shengxing City, and I was also found and adopted in the Li family's ancestral house.

"Xiao Yuanzi and I lived there until we were five years old before returning to Maran City. Later, my father took over as the patriarch, Xiao Yuanzi and I got married, and my mother passed away. After going through some things, I never went back to the ancestral house. The main reason is that our branch is too weak..."

Li Yunqing's eyes were moist as she spoke. Although she didn't have much memory, it was also her birthplace.

Touching Li Yunqing's head, Li Yuan comforted him: "When we improve our strength, we will go back to the ancestral house. It is not suitable to go back now. After all, we have not contacted for so many years. Go back rashly, so as not to cause trouble to them."

Li Yunqing nodded silently.

Li Yuan looked at Guan Tian, ​​and continued: "Brother Guan, we will take the waterway. Although the waterway is slow, at least the conditions are more comfortable, much better than walking through the forest."

"It's true, and you can also enjoy the scenery of Yuanzhou along the way." Guan Tian stroked his beard and nodded.

.........

In Qinghe City, where the three great rivers converge, there are more than a dozen large and small river wharves all over the city.

In Qinghe City, nearly 300 million citizens are engaged in river transportation. It can be said that every household has someone involved in it.

Qinghe Wharf is the largest wharf in Qinghe City, and most of the water transportation over [-] miles comes here.

There are also other terminals, but there are relatively few long-distance businesses, so you have to make an appointment in advance.

Qinghe Wharf is also the place where various forces, big and small, compete fiercely.

Wu Huohai is a Yuan Zhe who has been working hard at Qinghe Wharf all year round, and belongs to the Wujia Gang, one of the six major gangs in Qinghe City.Since he is a distant relative of the leader of the Wu Family Clan, he was appointed as a small leader in the Clan.

Wu Huohai is forty-seven this year, with a peak cultivation base in the early stage of the Void-Treading Realm, his jet-black hair has long since fallen out, and his face looks much older than those of the same age and cultivation base.

Working hard all the year round, he left some injuries on his body, especially the scar on his left eye, which looked very scary.

The bald head and the scar are easy to associate with the villain.

The face looks scary, but the mouth is full of kindness.

No matter how friendly you are, after all, you belong to a gang and will do some shady things.

The six most powerful gangs in Qinghe City, in order to reduce fights for business, negotiated to take turns to receive river transport business.

The scorching sun moved westward, it was past noon, and it was almost time for Wu's family to pick up business.

"Scar, here we come. It's not time for your Wu Family Gang yet."

A middle-aged man on the pier looked at Wu Huohai who rushed over in a hurry.

Wu Huohai looked at the middle-aged man, and smiled: "Little Liuer. I'm going to prepare in advance. I will go to our ship to patrol first, so I won't chat with you. I will treat you to good food and drink some other day. Big wine."

The tone of Wu Huohai's opening mouth did not match his appearance at all.

The little Liu'er he was talking about was a member of Liu Zong, a gang of six major powers. His name was Liu Yufeng, and he was several years older than Wu Huohai. He was in the middle stage of the Void Realm, and he didn't like to hear Wu Huohai call him that. .

Wu Huohai said to invite him to dinner, and he has been talking about it for several years, but he has never been invited, and he said it every time we met.

Turning his eyes to the area where the ships of the Wu Family Gang were docked, Wu Huohai was a little disappointed.

Wu Jiabang arranged seven large boats and fifteen smaller boats at Qinghe Wharf.

Now none of their big boats have gone out on the river, and there are still eleven smaller boats, and the business is very poor.

Just as he was about to lift his legs to the area where the Wu family gang's boats were docked, Wu Huohai spotted a few people out of the corner of his eyes, and asked him to immediately take back the legs he had stepped forward.

Liu Yufeng frowned, looked at Wu Huohai, and shouted in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Scar, what do you want to do?"

"Hehe, I'll just take a look, I know the rules." Wu Huohai squeezed out a somewhat insincere smile and said with a smile.

Behind Wu Huohai, three people came from the city to the pier, a young man in a blue robe, and a woman in a blue dress, wearing a veiled hat.

Behind them followed a white-haired old man in a blue robe with water patterns.

Judging from the clothes of the three people, they are definitely rich people, especially the pair of young men and women in front of them. The exquisite workmanship of the robes on their bodies shows that they are expensive.

What's more, it is impossible for ordinary people to come to Qinghe Wharf.

They are none other than Li Yuan, Li Yunqing and Guan Tian.

Seeing the three people walking over, Liu Yufeng hastily stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, fearing that Wu Huohai would ruin his business, he cupped his hands and said, "Several people, do you want to hire a boat?"

"Well. I want to hire a big boat to go down the river. How far can you go?" Li Yuan asked. Before coming to the pier, he had already inquired clearly.

Only Qinghe Wharf picks up business over [-] miles away, no appointment is required, but it is quite expensive to hire a whole boat.

Liu Yufeng bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "Young Master, it's one thousand and five hundred miles."

"Oh, so, don't you go further away?" Li Yuan asked.

"Young master, if you are far away, we have to discuss it in detail. After all, monsters and beasts are rampant along the way, and we have to consider your safety. We need to send more people. I don't know where your final destination will be?" Liu Yufeng replied.

"Shengxing City, are you going? If possible, go now." Li Yuan said.

"This... Shengxing City, the straight-line distance to Shengxing City is two thousand miles. The waterway is winding and winding, and it is almost three thousand miles away. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Liu Yufeng replied with some embarrassment.

At this time, Wu Huohai stepped forward, gently pulled Liu Yufeng, bowed towards Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "My lord, let's go to Shengxing City. But the distance is indeed a bit far, and the cost is not low. Allow us to discuss it." , and then answer you."

Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

Wu Huohai grabbed Liu Yufeng's arm and pulled him to the edge of the pier.

"Old Liu, how about the two of us cooperating this time? Take this business together." Wu Huohai smiled sinisterly.

Liu Yufeng's expression was a bit dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "Shengxing City is too far away, you haven't been there before. I can only go back to the sect, ask the suzerain what the suzerain thinks, and send the elders to personally escort it to be safe."

"You're stupid, just looking at these people, they don't have much experience. They must be wearing some kind of treasure that can hide their cultivation. The two young people are at the late stage of Yuanli Realm or perfect cultivation."

Wu Huohai turned his head back slightly, glanced at Li Yuan and the others, and continued: "The old thing in the back has no fluctuations in Yuan power, so it must not be Yuan Zhe."
