The Nine Chapters of Mystery Chapter 69: Creeping Expert
Thirty miles west of Jiangzhou City, deep in Qingyuan Mountain.
A courtyard with white walls and blue tiles lies quietly beside a green pool.
The courtyard was empty, with dead leaves everywhere.
But today, it finally found its owner.
Under a peach tree outside the courtyard wall, two new tombs are surrounded by a new low bluestone wall in the center. On top of the new soil, they are covered with peach blossoms. From a distance, they look pink.
I saw the words "Tomb of Nie Yunfei, the First Disciple of Tianlan Peak, Jingfeng Swordsman" engraved on the tombstone in front of the tomb on the left.
The one on the right is engraved with "The Tomb of Flower Lady Du Juan'er."
There is a bronze incense burner on the steps in front of the tomb. The fragrance from the three pillars in the burner is still there, and the smoke is curling up.
The poisonous man and Fei Wei stood silently in front of the grave.
"Du Juan'er, Mr. Su has become your bloody enemy. You can go in peace. I will visit you often when I have time." The poisonous man stroked the tombstone.
Fei Wei stared at the tombstone on the other side and murmured: "Yunfei, my son, you were supposed to be a martial arts hero, but you ended up miserable. Thanks to the Jade Faced Demon Sword, Qiu Bufeng is dead, and the two who killed you are dead."
Yi died. Your family feud has been avenged, so you can go with peace of mind. Now that I am the master of Tianlan Peak, you will have a place in the Martyrs Hall of Tianlan Peak."
After finishing speaking, Fei Wei slowly placed the lilac sword that Nie Yunfei used before his death horizontally in front of the grave.
The poisonous man glanced sideways at Fei Wei and said fiercely: "Under your rule, Wangtian Lanfeng will no longer do those dirty and conciliatory things. A famous family should have the integrity of a famous family!!"
After saying that, the poisonous man walked away in a puff of his sleeves.
Naturally, he has no good impression of Tianlan Feng who killed Du Juan'er.
He almost wanted to throw poisonous cigarettes at Fei Wei.
But seeing that Nie Yunfei was lying next to Du Juaner, he endured it.
Fei Wei shook his head helplessly at the back of the poisonous man, then looked up and sighed: "Do you have the character of a famous family... Hey, since the appearance of the Nine Chapters of Tianji, how can there be any character of a famous family!"
…
The easternmost point of Kyushu is Dengzhou.
Lined by the East China Sea.
After entering the sea and heading east, you can reach the southern tip of Silla.
Further east, you can reach Fusang.
The coastal pier is in full swing and bustling with people.
The fishing boats returning from the sea were dark and surrounded a few piers. Guys getting on and off the boats to unload cargo were shuttled back and forth, making it a busy scene.
Su Wangting and Bai Kui have been waiting at the beach for three days.
Finally, we arrived at a merchant ship bound for Silla.
If we go north out of Kyushu by land, and then go east to Silla via Liangyuan, it will take at least more than sixty days. Not to mention that we have to go all the way south in Silla to the southern part of Silla where Shuanghua Palace is located.
But if you go to sea from Dengzhou Pier, you can get there in five days.
Or go directly to the southern coast of Silla.
Even if we add in the twenty days it took the two of them to get to the Dengzhou seaside from Muzhou, where Tianlan Peak is located, the total is only twenty-five days.
It saves more than half the time compared to traveling by land.
The two people who were eager to return to Silla to rescue Baek Tai-hsing and his wife naturally chose the sea route.
The boss of a merchant ship is willing to take some people with him if the cargo is not enough.
After all, the boat fare he charges is not low, and he can also make a lot of good money.
This time, by chance, the ship was half loaded with cargo, so the ship owner took the initiative to shout at the dockside, which was rare.
However, he successfully attracted more than a dozen businessmen who went to Silla to do business.
Su Wangting and Bai Kui also boarded the ship successfully.
The price is five taels of gold.
They provide food, drink, and a straw bed to sleep in. Although it is ridiculously expensive, I can bear it.
start sailing.
Three hours later, when I looked back, I could no longer see the coastline of the Kyushu continent. All I could see was the boundless ocean.
The sky also gradually darkened.
The first meal on the boat was pretty good, the fish and shrimp were very delicious.
After eating, everyone fell asleep.
But this sleep was too heavy. When Su Wangting and Bai Kui opened their eyes, it was already noon on the second day.
"Why does your head hurt so much?"
Bai Kui stretched out her hand to rub her head, but suddenly found that she couldn't move her hands and feet.
When I lowered my head, I saw that I had been tied up in all kinds of ways!!
The same goes for Su Wangting.
He raised his eyes in panic and looked around, only to see that not only the two of them were tied up, but also the boss of the ship and a group of guys.
Everyone was thrown into the cargo hold at some point!!
"What's going on?" Bai Kui asked in shock.
The captain of the ship said with a sad face: "Ah, hey, what else can happen? I just backed up and bumped into a pirate!! We have been drugged!!"
"Pirate!?"
The boss of the ship shook his head: "Most of the pirates in the East China Sea are fuso bandits, and this is my first time to bump into them. I heard older people say that these pirates not only rob ships and goods, but also rob people as well.
Sold to the Fuso nobles as slaves and maidservants. Oh, why did I bump into this pirate who has not shown up for many years? If I had known, I would have gone out to look at the almanac, I would have been really unlucky!!"
"When did these pirates get on the ship?" Su Wangting asked.
"With you."
Su Wangting was startled when he heard this: "You're on the boat with us!?"
The boss of the ship nodded: "It is those dozen traders who claim to be going to Silla to do business. Who would have expected that they are actually Fuso pirates?"
"I see."
The captain of the ship, Dalian, shook his head repeatedly: "It's over, it's over! We are really finished this time! If we are kidnapped to Fuso, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Kyushu for the rest of my life!!"
At this time, a waiter whispered: "The bow of the ship, I just counted the number of people here, and Huang Si is not here."
"Did Huang Si get hit?" the captain of the ship said in shock.
The clerk nodded slightly: "Probably. Otherwise, he will be thrown into this cargo hold like us."
The boss of the ship looked happy: "Then we still have a glimmer of hope!!"
Bai Kui asked in confusion: "Why do you say this?"
"Then Huang Si has good skills, he is good with a gun and a stick, and he is alert. Maybe he will find a way to save us?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a creak and the cargo door was opened.
A tied-up man was thrown in.
Huang Si.
"You know how to hide, and you hid in a water tank." A man with a long knife on his waist spat at Huang Si.
Su Wangting squinted and saw that the long knife carried by the man's waist was somewhat similar to his own.
It is also a narrow long sword with a black sheath.
But the difference is that the long knife shows a certain arc, which is still somewhat different from the straight long knife I use.
How could Su Wangting not recognize it?
When he was in Silla in the past, he fought against the invading Fuso warriors.
That sword is a typical Fuso samurai sword!
There was another creak and the cargo door was closed.
Outside the door, there was the sound of iron chains locking the door.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!!" The captain of the ship cried out repeatedly, "Even Huang Si was arrested, we are completely hopeless!"
Su Wangting looked at Huang Si, who was wriggling like a maggot on the ground, and asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Huang Si stopped squirming and shook his head repeatedly: "Twelve of them are all Fuso warriors. After being discovered, I grabbed a stick and tried to fight them. Alas, where was their opponent? Their swords were too fast!"
After a pause, Huang Si sobbed: "I still have an old mother, wife and children to support at home. I'm afraid that this time, I will never see them again forever!"
Su Wangting smiled and said: "To be honest, what I hate the most is the warriors of Fuso. They are different from us Kyushu people. The evil in their hearts seems to be innate, and most of them are like this. Not only do they have no moral integrity in their actions, but they also use unscrupulous means.
There is no chivalrous character to speak of. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a bunch of uncivilized barbarians."
"What's the use of talking about this, our life is over!!" The boss of the ship also began to sob.
Bai Kui chuckled a few times and joked: "You are such a big man, why did you cry when you asked me to cry? A girl like me, who is as beautiful as a flower, did not cry out in sorrow. Are you ashamed or not?"
The boat boss yelled: "Little girl, you actually have the time to make fun of me!? Do you know what will happen if a young girl like you falls into their hands? It's unimaginable!!"
"Humph, unless they took advantage of the leopard's guts!" Bai Kui raised her face with disdain, "Those Fusang idiots, I'm afraid it's hard to say who will suffer this time!"
The boss of the boat stared at Bai Kui in confusion and hesitated: "What do you mean... what do you mean by this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a "click" sound.
The thumb-thick hemp rope tied to Bai Kui's body was broken easily by her.
The boss of the ship and all the crew were stunned.
Bai Kui stood up, moved her arms, and said disdainfully: "I think they are the ones who are unlucky. It's not good to rob any ship, but this one."
"Oh, it turns out that the girl is hiding a secret, and she is a master!" The bow of the boat and a group of waiters turned from sadness to joy, and they all exclaimed that they had met a noble man and survived a desperate situation.
Bai Kui pointed at Su Wangting: "Their bad luck was not because they touched me, but him."
"Oh? There are also experts??" Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Wangting.
Su Wangting sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Well, I didn't expect to encounter such trouble."
After finishing speaking, Su Wangting stood up like a carp.
His body was still tied up with five flower straps.
"Everyone, please be patient. I'll go out and take a look first."
As he spoke, Su Wangting jumped towards the cargo door, like a zombie.
The boss of the ship's eyes twitched when he saw this: "Girl, this person can't even break free from the rope. Is this... is he going to die?"
Bai Kui was sweating coldly.
What the hell is Su Wangting doing?
Su Wangting was seen jumping to the cabin door, sweating profusely. After standing still, his face suddenly tightened and he took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Bai Kui breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretly, he finally became serious, seeing that this posture would not only require luck to break free from the rope, but he was also afraid that the hatch would be kicked to pieces by him.
There was silence in the cargo hold.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Su Wangting, who was facing the hatch and taking a deep breath.
As the saying goes, a superior person always hides his appearance.
Could it be that this person is an expert even more powerful than this girl?
A tall person?
The bow of the boat showed a happy smile.
"Is there anyone there?! Open the door!!!!" Su Wangting suddenly yelled at the door.
Bai Kui's feet weakened and she almost fell.
The smile on the bow's face froze and he stared blankly at Su Wangting.
It's like looking at a fool.
Bai Kui was about to get angry when she heard the sound of iron chains outside the door.
Su Wangting turned his head and grinned: "Did you see that someone was actually called?"
Bai Kui's forehead was throbbing with veins.
"What are you shouting for!!!"
"Clang!"
The cargo door was kicked open from the outside!
Su Wangting groaned and was knocked to the ground by the door.
Only then did everyone become convinced that this man was indeed a fool.
"What are you shouting for?! Are you shouting!?" The visitor angrily looked at Su Wangting who was knocked to the ground.
Su Wangting squirmed slowly on the ground: "Yes."
"Tired of living? Believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?"
Su Wangting nodded: "Xin. But before I feed the fish, I want to ask you something."
The Fuso man raised his eyebrows and said, "Say."
"Where's my knife?"
The Fusang man was startled when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he smiled ferociously and said, "Are you referring to that rust pimple?"
Su Wangting squirmed again: "Yes."
The Fuso man snorted coldly: "You really want to feed the fish?"
The squirming Su Wangting also snorted coldly: "You really don't want to return my knife?"
"How about not paying it back?"
Su Wangting pursed his lips at Bai Kui: "Humph! If you don't pay back, you can't afford to offend this girl!"
Bai Kui staggered at her feet.
This time, she really almost fell.
"Eh!? Why are the ropes on your body loose?" The Fuso man looked Bai Kui up and down, and then smiled lewdly, "I really didn't notice that this girl is so cool. Hehe, tonight, let me
You serve us, and let us taste the flavor of Kyushu girls."
