"The King of Bei Chuan is about to go to sea and recruit crew members. The King of Bei Chuan is about to go to sea and recruit crew members."

On Guidao, outside the inn where Li Tai'an first inquired about the news, a lean man was shouting.

Li Tai'an walked over with Huang Gou. Although many people looked at the two of them with evil eyes along the way, they did not take action. Generally speaking, Li Tai'an and Huang Gou did not encounter any obstacles.

"I never expected that this inn would be a stronghold of Bei Chuan Wang. I should have known from the beginning that the greedy shopkeeper was not a good person." Huang Gou complained.

"It's a normal thing. In this chaotic place, it's impossible to run such an inn without any connections behind it. And on Ghost Island, the only ones who can make this kind of inn run stably are the few shipping kings.

."

Li Taian said hello and walked in.

Similarly, Li Tai'an found that most of the people who walked in around him had brought their own weapons and had many wounds on their bodies. Some of them were serious and had lost an eye or an arm.

The dangers on the sea have always been more than just wind, waves and sea water.

But on the contrary, this kind of person is more popular with solicitors.

After all, this is the kind of business they are engaged in. If they bring a group of novices with them, they will die faster.

"Next one!" came a familiar voice, and Li Tai'an walked straight in with the yellow dog under everyone's gaze.

"Unexpectedly, this kid dares to come here. He is really not afraid of Wu Tong at all."

"What are you afraid of? This is Bei Chuan Wang's territory. If he really gets on Bei Chuan King's ship, even Wu Tong will have to let go of this hatred. Who doesn't know that the best ship on Ghost Island is Bei Chuan Wang?

The Ship King’s.”

"But if he can't get up, Wu Tong probably won't be able to let him go. I heard that the Western Ship King Wu Tong contacted in the past few days is planning to deal with this kid."

"Yeah?"

Ignoring the voice behind him, Li Tai'an opened the curtain and saw the person sitting inside, who was the former shopkeeper.

"Hey, old acquaintance, I can't believe that after you left my place, you really went to rob Wu Tong's place, and finally I let you do it." The shopkeeper said in surprise as he looked at Li Tai'an and Huang Gou in front of him.

.

"It seems that the shopkeeper didn't reveal this news to us just for money." Li Taian sat on the chair in front of him. He was used to this kind of greeting.

"Xu Shan, after all, came from the founding official. As for my ship king, although he has left there, he still has some emotions. However, due to the situation on Ghost Island, it is not convenient for him to directly rescue people.

, just let me pay more attention, no, I still saved Xu Shan."

Li Tai'an naturally didn't believe what the shopkeeper said. Would Beichuan King spare Xu Shan's life because of his past identity? It was impossible to think about it.

"We are going to sea. I heard that Beishanwang is recruiting crew members. Let's give it a try." Li Tai'an directly explained the purpose of his visit.

The shopkeeper pinched his beard: "According to the original logic, you guys are our favorite people because they can fight and are indeed capable. But this time, I have to think about it.

After all, as a person who dares to rob the King of East Ship, I can hardly guarantee that you will listen to the King of Bei Ship.

And for things like going to sea, everyone on the ship is extremely important. You know, if you want to sail such a big ship, it is most important for everyone to work together and obey orders.

At the same time, as far as I know, you guys have never gone to sea before, and you may have to learn the operation of going to sea all over again, which is not good news for us."

Li Tai'an did not interrupt him, but let him finish, and finally said: "Shopkeeper, don't be secretive. There must be conditions for letting us board the ship. Let's talk about it."

The shopkeeper nodded: "Tongtong, I just like communicating with people like you. If you want to get on the ship, it's not impossible, but there is one condition. Xu Shan you rescued must also get on the ship with us.

Let’s go to sea together.”

Li Tai'an frowned: "This is a bit difficult for me. I can guarantee our group, how can I guarantee his choice? And you know very well that King Beichuan was not able to keep him at the beginning, but I can

I’m not sure about that.”

"Then it's not something I should consider. This condition is what our Captain Qian said. I don't dare to violate his orders easily."

After hearing this, Li Tai'an pretended to think for a while. After all, agreeing too smoothly would arouse suspicion. Not to mention the North Ship King behind him, this shopkeeper alone is not a simple role.

"I can only say that I tried my best, but whether it succeeds or not depends on Xu Shan himself."

The shopkeeper nodded, took out five cloth bags from under the table, and threw them directly to Li Tai'an: "This is half of your reward for going to sea. The remaining half will be given to you according to the situation of the sea. If Xu Shan agrees

, we will go to sea in three days, just north of Ghost Island, where our ship will be."

Li Tai'an nodded, took the bag, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"By the way, when you get on the ship, remember to call the captain. This is a unified title."

The shopkeeper's voice came from behind Li Tai'an.

"Captain? You're quite professional." Huang Gou complained again.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tai'an opened the cloth bag in his hand. Inside the cloth bag, there were thirty taels of broken silver and a wooden sign with the word "money" written in red on it.

King of North Ship, Qian Hao!

Only those with this token can board the North Ship King's ship that day.

Finding a place without anyone, Li Taian and Huang Gou entered the twin pots.

After telling Xu Shan everything that happened above, Xu Shan muttered: "Don't worry, you did the right thing. If we agreed too quickly, Qian Hao would be suspicious of something. After all, I was beaten to death in the first place."

In that case, we didn’t even agree to go to sea.”

"You mean, Qian Hao asked you to go to sea in the first place?"

Xu Shan nodded: "After I was arrested, he made two requests to me. The first was to join his camp and help him train a group of sailors. He wanted to develop his own society on this ghost island.

The power of one person; the second is to accompany him to go to sea again.

But in the end, I rejected them all.”

"Then when will we send the news? We have to go to sea." Huang Gou also asked at the side.

"Let's do it in two days. Then we can give him a reason so that he can't doubt it." Li Tai'an suggested.

Xu Shan nodded and agreed to Li Tai'an's proposal.

"But have you noticed a problem? Why does Qian Hao insist on Xu Shan following him out to sea? Isn't his goal this time to explore a small island? This kind of thing should be a problem even if Xu Shan is involved.

It's not big." Ming She, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

"I estimate that he still wants my ship, and he has been guessing that I should know where the ship is, so even after he released me, he still sent people to follow me.

On this ghost island, if Qian Hao wants to develop a private army, the appeal of one ship is not enough. There must be at least two ships, so that other ship kings will have nothing to say."

"In that case, will there be any trouble if you get on the ship?"

"No, he needs me. He won't cause trouble with me unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, I am dead and the ship has lost news. For him, it is not a good situation.

When the time comes, we can just follow the original plan."

Afterwards, the group had a brief discussion, then turned around and went back to rest, quietly waiting for the time to go to sea in three days.

"How's it going? Did they give a clear answer?" Qian Hao asked, holding a huge wine bottle and looking at the shopkeeper below.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "We are very cautious, and he is also very cautious. He has not given me a clear answer for the time being, but I estimate that in two days, at most two days, he will give me an answer, and he will also give me an answer."

That’s the reason for the past.”

Qian Hao nodded: "That's alright. I can rest assured that you can do things. As long as Xu Shan gets on my boat this time, I won't let him get off!"

The shopkeeper also curiously asked at this time: "Captain, you asked Xu Shan to get on the ship, probably because of his disappeared ship, right?"

Regarding the shopkeeper's question, Qian Hao did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper is really Qian Hao's confidant.

"Aren't you known as Ghost Island's spy? As long as you have money, there will be no news that you can't find. Let me analyze it."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That was all caused by Guidao's random shouting, but don't tell me, I really have some thoughts about the disappearance of Xu Shanchuan.

We are close to the sea, so we know that there are actually many more dangers on the sea than on land, and there are also more legends.

Except for the sea beasts that jumped out during this period, the earliest legend should be the ghost that eats ships.

I was standing next to the captain at that time. At first, like the captain, I didn't believe much in this legend, so I knew less about it. But it wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I was sure that this legend might be true.

In such a big ship, there were more than thirty people on board, but they disappeared in an instant. It was really magical."

Qian Hao took a deep breath: "Yes, this sea is indeed a magical place, full of crises and the desire to explore. What happened that day, I can't forget until now."

"After I came back, I learned about this boat-eating ghost from many aspects. About fifty years ago, some people discovered around the ghost island that some boats went to sea, but none of them came back.

Some are small fishing boats owned by fishermen, and some are merchant ships sent by Li Guo. Except for the five ships on our Ghost Island, ships from any force and anywhere have disappeared.

However, the people on the boat will not disappear. After a while, those people will appear in a place unscathed. It may be an uninhabited island, or it may be on the sea. The place where they appear is random, but they can

For sure, none of them will be harmed.

Moreover, if they were the owners of the ship, they would still have some sense of the ship, but I heard that the ship that was finally found was all a bunch of debris, as if it had been chewed up by some giant beast.

As more discoveries were made, the name "ship-eating ghost" gradually spread."

The shopkeeper pinched his beard habitually. He knew very clearly about the ghosts that ate boats, and he explained it very clearly.

"So, after this incident happened, I paid special attention to the situation around the ghost island. If it was really a ship-eating ghost, the thirty or so people on it should have appeared. But after this period of time, I didn't gain anything.

Instead, I discovered a small island.”

Qian Hao stood up. His figure was very strong and burly, and there were more than a dozen terrifying scars on his exposed arms, adding a fierce aura to him.
