Standing on the deck of the Iron Dragon Ship, Mo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Hengjiang Hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, looked extremely gloomy. He urged his horse to rush over, but all he saw was a ground full of corpses.
Even the City Lord Du Chuan and his trusted Magician Lian Xiang were dead!
"Hall Master, I've checked everything."
A middle-aged man with a moustache ran over and reported to Mo Xuan. He stood there with shifty eyes and a shrewd face.
Mo Xuan gestured with his eyes, "Tell me about the situation."
The rat-bearded middle-aged man could feel the strong killing intent in Mo Xuan's eyes. He was so scared that his heart trembled. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "City Lord Du and the others died under my sword. I didn't find any poison, but City Lord Du's sword wound had a slight trace of magic power. "
No matter what kind of spell it was, it would leave a mark after it was cast. On Du Chuan's wound, there were obvious traces of wind magic. The middle-aged man's martial arts were not high, but he was exceptionally talented in tracking and scouting.
The middle-aged man examined all the corpses and was able to reconstruct some parts of the battle scene through the wounds.
"The opponent's swordsmanship is very powerful. Everyone was killed in one strike."
When the middle-aged man said this, his expression became a bit more solemn. His original thievish look had faded a little, and he looked more capable and shrewd.
The middle-aged man continued to analyze, "Gao Zhengyang and City Lord Du Chuan exchanged a few blows, but it didn't last long. The female sorcerer was killed first, and then Gao Zhengyang must have used a wind spell to suddenly accelerate. He dealt with City Lord Du Chuan in one move. Then, he charged into the crowd and killed everyone with one sword strike. "
Mo Xuan asked, "Are there any survivors?"
The middle-aged man hastily said, "There is a ship's steward, Qian Ming, he is alive. Only one of his hands was cut off. "
Mo Xuan frowned. "What's going on?"
"It was cut off by our people. It's just that Qian Ming didn't dare to say it. "
The middle-aged man was cunning. He knew something was wrong the moment he saw Qian Ming. According to Gao Zhengyang's habit, he would either not make a move, or he would kill.
It was obviously not his habit to simply cut off a hand. On the other hand, the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance liked to chop off people's arms to show their might. He then checked Qian Ming's wound and was even more certain of his judgment.
"Gao Zhengyang brought a little servant girl with him. According to Qian Ming, Du Chuan thought that the little girl was a vixen. Qian Ming also confirmed that the little girl was very beautiful and seductive. "
The middle-aged man said, "Gao Zhengyang abandoned the ship and escaped, but he should be hiding nearby, or even on one of the ships."
Mo Xuan scanned the surroundings. There were hundreds of boats of various sizes docked at the simple pier by the river. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he could see masts of different heights standing tall and densely packed together like a forest.
If he had to check every single ship, he didn't know how long it would take. More importantly, Gao Zhengyang was also proficient in sorcery, and the vixen was famous for her illusions. Only a mage of a certain rank could break through the illusion.
Just like how Du Chuan was able to catch Gao Zhengyang with Lian Xiang. The problem was that he didn't have such a person by his side.
Mo Xuan was very conceited, but he also knew in his heart that compared to Du Chuan, he was still a little lacking. That was why he could only be a hall master, while Du Chuan could rule over an entire city.
Even Du Chuan was killed, even if he found Gao Zhengyang, what could he do?
Thinking of this, Mo Xuan felt a little guilty. Revenge was of course important, but if he were to risk his old life, and it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to win, then he would have to think about it carefully.
If Gao Zhengyang lingered around and didn't go, then he would be a great danger, and Mo Xuan would definitely use all his strength to kill him. But Gao Zhengyang clearly wanted to go far away, and it was very unwise to fight him to the death at this time.
The problem was that Du Chuan was dead, and the matter was too big.
No matter what, Mo Xuan couldn't ignore it. He frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Send a message to the main hall, ask them to send experts over. Everyone form into teams, each team of thirty people, and conduct a detailed search of all the ships. If anyone dares to resist, kill without mercy! "
The middle-aged man loudly responded, but in his heart he let out a sigh of relief. Mo Xuan was a smart person after all, he knew that finding Gao Zhengyang at this time was looking for trouble for himself.
With such a search, it was impossible to find Gao Zhengyang first. If he really wanted to keep Gao Zhengyang here, the best way was to seize all the ships, and wait for reinforcements from the main hall.
However, the main hall was far from here. No matter how fast they came, it would take at least three to five days. If he were to force Gao Zhengyang into a corner in this period of time, then the situation would not be good.
The middle-aged man understood Mo Xuan's orders, and the moment he brought his men out, they started to search the ships one by one.
Some of the bigger fleets that dared to do business here actually had a huge organisation behind them. Some of these organisations were even stronger than the Thousand Swords Alliance.
The Thousand Swords Alliance was just a small organisation at the border, and the entire Alliance only had one Type 9 powerhouse. Once this Type 9 powerhouse died, the Thousand Swords Alliance would definitely be swallowed up by other factions.
Of course, a Type 9 powerhouse had a long lifespan, and far exceeded ordinary experts. The members of the Thousand Swords Alliance did not need to worry about such issues.
After the middle-aged man brought a group of people to check a few ships, they came to the front of the largest ship. On the bow of this ship was a winged golden crocodile with a huge mouth, looking extremely ferocious.
"The Dragon Crocodile Gang is here too!"
Seeing the golden Dragon Crocodile symbol, the middle-aged man looked troubled. This Dragon Crocodile had rampaged through several large rivers, and in terms of organisation scale, it was ten times that of the Thousand Swords Alliance.
The Thousand Swords Alliance and the Dragon Crocodile Gang were considered partners, but of course, it was an unequal partnership. The Dragon Crocodile Gang's ships paid a symbolic tax, and each ship, regardless of size, was worth twenty taels of silver.
One had to know that there were many specialties in the White Pine Mountains, and if transported down the river to a place thousands of miles away, the value would increase by at least thirty to fifty times.
Twenty taels of silver for each boat was really just a symbolic amount of money.
Of course, the Dragon Crocodile Gang's strength could also sell all kinds of specialties far away, greatly driving the development of this area. It was also because of the Dragon Crocodile Gang that so many merchants came to make a fortune.
There were too many demonic beasts in this world, and there were ghosts and demons everywhere. The human settlements were very scattered. There was also space for various caravans to survive.
The middle-aged man knew how powerful the Dragon Crocodile Gang was. Seeing the huge Dragon Crocodile symbol, he was a little flustered. The other subordinates looked at the middle-aged man, waiting for his instructions.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to send someone to report the situation and request to board the ship.
In a room on the top floor of the big ship, the walls were covered with exquisite wool tapestries from the West. The floor was covered with a thick golden velvet carpet.
Inside the exquisite golden glass lampshade, the Silver Light Stone shone brightly. After being filtered by the golden glass, the silver light appeared warm and soft.
Under the bright red satin quilt, a slender, snow-white thigh was revealed. Her well-proportioned jade-like feet were painted with red fingernails. The bright red and snow-white thighs had a kind of soul-stirring charm.
The maid, Xiao Gua, who knocked on the door gently, took a look and felt a little flustered. As a woman, she was too embarrassed to look at it. Although her master, Jiaojiao, was always like this, she could not get used to it.
The key was that Jiaojiao ate both men and women. Xiao Gua knew her master's character very well. If she showed any intention in this aspect, she would definitely be eaten up.
Being eaten by a woman was nothing, but being eaten by Jiaojiao was a great loss. Her spirit would be completely squeezed out, and she would completely turn into medicinal dregs.
After Xiao Gua bowed, she said in a low voice, "Master, the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance are requesting to see you."
Jiaojiao yawned lazily, "What is it this time?"
"They said that City Lord Du Chuan was killed, and the murderer might be hiding on the ship. For your safety, they want to board the ship to check. "
Jiaojiao stretched her waist, and her face was finally revealed under the red quilt. She was not very beautiful, but she had curved eyes, long eyebrows, and slightly thick red lips. However, her eyebrows, coupled with her lazy and casual look, had an indescribable seductive charm.
Especially her breasts, they looked exaggeratedly big, but the shape was natural and beautiful. When she sat up, her slender waist and round buttocks showed the sexy beauty of a woman without a doubt.
"They don't need to worry about my safety."
Jiaojiao waved her hand at Xiao Gua, "Go tell them to scram."
After thinking for a while, she said, "I'm hungry. Go tell the kitchen to prepare bird's nest porridge and some snacks."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Gua hurriedly bowed and retreated. After leaving the room, she gently closed the door.
The room was as warm as summer. Jiaojiao just sat there in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
After a while, the maid Xiao Gua returned with a box of food. Xiao Gua arranged the food in the box, helped Jiaojiao put on a long nightgown, and helped her wash her face and hands.
Jiaojiao was like a child. Xiao Gua was the one who helped her with everything, and she only moved a few times.
After sitting in front of the table, Jiaojiao took the initiative to pick up the clear porcelain bowl and drank the bird's nest porridge.
The warm bird's nest porridge was made from many kinds of medicinal herbs. The taste was light, but the medicinal power inside was very strong. After drinking a few mouthfuls, Jiaojiao felt a wave of heat spread out, and her whole body became a lot more energetic.
"What the hell is going on?"
Jiaojiao was energetic, and she was in the mood to chat. She asked about what happened.
Although Du Chuan was not a big shot, he was a big shot in the surrounding few hundred li. Jiaojiao had seen Du Chuan before. Although this person was a bit pretentious, he had the ability.
Such a guy was killed in her own territory. This made Jiaojiao a little curious.
"I have asked. It was a person called Gao Zhengyang. He killed the people of Ten Thousand Swords Alliance in Tong City. He escaped here and was intercepted by Du Chuan. Both sides fought, and in the end, Du Chuan was killed. "
Xiao Gua knew Jiaojiao's temperament. She had already asked about the matter. Her answer was quite detailed, and there were even some details.
"I heard that Gao Zhengyang was very handsome, and he had a vixen maid with him."
Jiaojiao liked handsome men and beautiful women the most, so Xiao Gua naturally had to pick the ones she liked.
"The scenery of the northern region is quite spectacular. Unfortunately, the men here are rough and barbaric, and the women here are even more vulgar. "
This time, Jiaojiao came to the north to experience the scenery of the northern region. Unfortunately, after walking around twice, she didn't find anything that was pleasing to her eyes.
The only commendable thing was that the mountains and rivers of the northern region were all magnificent and magnificent. It was very different from the delicate and delicate atmosphere of the region she came from.
"However, there are actually vixens here."
Jiaojiao was not interested in men, but she was very interested in vixens.
Actually, there were many types of vixens. Basically, they were yellow, black, red, and white according to their colors. Yellow vixens were the lowest. She could be seen almost everywhere in the region she lived in. Moreover, these vixens were extremely lewd, and they loved to bewitch young girls.
Jiaojiao heard that the northern region was full of white foxes. White foxes were said to eat snow and ice, and they were the most noble and pure. Moreover, their skin was as white as jade, and they were the best vixens.
Unfortunately, after traveling around the northern region, she didn't see any vixens. She only heard that there were traces of white foxes in the most remote White Pine Mountain. However, the White Pine Mountain was too remote, and there was no water transportation. It would take two months to travel there by car.
Jiaojiao was a person who lived like a princess. She couldn't stand the long and boring journey. Therefore, she didn't travel too far in the northern region.
"Go and talk to the people in the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance. If you find the white vixen, I'm willing to buy her at a high price."
When Jiaojiao thought of the white vixen, her heart warmed up. She was willing to condescend to deal with the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.
Xiao Gua hurriedly agreed. She felt that Jiaojiao's idea was a little unreliable. Why would others sell a white fox to her if they caught it? However, this kind of thing was not up to her to decide.
As Jiaojiao's maid, the most important thing was to be obedient, and not to act smart.
Xiao Gua had followed Jiaojiao for two years, and she had seen how powerful this woman was. Although she looked like a slut, and she was indeed a slut, she was very cunning.
Many people who looked down on Jiaojiao had fallen into her hands.
Xiao Gua quickly learned to be smart. In front of Jiaojiao, she only needed to be obedient. She must never act smart.
After waiting for Jiaojiao to finish her meal, Xiao Gua helped Jiaojiao wash her hands and rinse her mouth. Only then did she clean up the tableware and leave.
Jiaojiao was lying comfortably on the big bed. Suddenly, she wanted to move. "Xiao Gua, come with me. Let's go out for a walk."
Jiaojiao did not change her clothes. She just wrapped herself in her nightgown and walked out. There were boatmen and guards everywhere on the big ship. When they saw Jiaojiao, they hurriedly bowed to greet her. No one dared to look at her.
They didn't even dare to look at Jiaojiao's delicate jade feet. These people were very clear that once Jiaojiao took a fancy to them, they would end up worse than death.
Jiaojiao was not interested in these guards and boatmen. In the past, she had killed countless guards. In the end, her father had no choice but to give her a group of ugly guards.
These guards were very strong, but they were all ugly. No matter how bored Jiaojiao was, she could not bear to look at these people.
She went to the bow of the ship and looked at the members of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance below. She slightly curled her lips.
This group of men from the Northern Lands. Not only were they rude, they were also ugly and incompetent.
Jiaojiao swept a glance at them. She completely lost interest in the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.
She said, "Go to the warehouse."
The two personal guards were stunned for a moment, and then they hurriedly complied. The warehouse was the bottom of the big ship. It was immersed in the water all year round, so there was always a layer of water floating on the bottom of the warehouse. Moreover, the stench was very strong.
With Jiaojiao's status, she could not stand the stench just by smelling it. Why did she think of going to the warehouse?
But they had no choice. Jiaojiao was the supreme leader of this ship. Not to mention that she wanted to look at the warehouse, even if she suddenly wanted to set fire to the whole ship, they would have to obey her.
The two guards called for a warehouse manager, who brought them down to the warehouse.
The upper level of the warehouse was filled with all kinds of medicinal ingredients and precious jade stones. Because the upper two levels were well managed, there was no smell.
The deeper they went, the stronger the smell. When they reached the bottom level. When the light shone on the warehouse, they could see a layer of dirty water rippling and reflecting.
This level was filled with Purple Gold Copper Blocks. The refined copper blocks were not afraid of water bubbles, and their weight was enough to stabilize the center of gravity of the big ship. They were also the favorite goods of the big ships.
Seeing Jiaojiao step into the dirty water, Xiao Gua and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow her.
This level was filled with densely packed copper blocks. There was almost no space for people to walk. Jiaojiao only took a few steps before she was blocked by a wall of copper blocks.
Xiao Gua and the others looked at Jiaojiao in confusion. They didn't know why she suddenly went crazy.
Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to the people behind her. Her clear eyes were constantly moving, as if she was looking for something.
After a moment of silence, Jiaojiao suddenly said, "The two of you don't need to hide anymore. This place is dirty. My room is clean and tidy. Why don't you go up and have a seat?"
Xiao Gua and the others became nervous. The two guards even more cautiously pulled out their swords and pointed them forward.
"I invited you so sincerely. It's not good for the two of you to not say anything, right?"
As Jiaojiao said that, she extended the small and exquisite glass palace lantern in her hand to the left and directly stabbed the wall made of Purple Gold Copper Blocks.
The strange thing was, a hole was made on the Purple Gold Copper Block by the palace lantern. The light trembled a little, and the copper wall disappeared, revealing a man and a woman.
They sat on the Purple Gold Copper Block, and their expressions were very natural. Especially the man, he had a calm expression on his face. He didn't have any uneasiness or anger after his magic was broken.
The little girl's beautiful eyes rolled around, and she looked especially lively and cute.
Xiao Gua and the guards were all attracted by the little girl, and kept staring at her small face.
Only Jiaojiao looked at the man again. This man's facial features couldn't be said to be deep, and he couldn't be said to be very handsome. However, his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and as clear as the autumn water.
Jiaojiao didn't know how many men she had seen. Some were strong, some were weak, some were handsome, some were ugly, some were brave, and some were delicate. However, there didn't seem to be any man who had this kind of strange charm.
Compared to this man, the little girl's bright fox charm was too superficial, and not worth mentioning.
"Hello, thank you for your invitation." The man smiled and said, "This place is indeed not that good. Let's talk somewhere else."
This man was naturally Gao Zhengyang. He hid on this ship with the little fox to avoid trouble. Unexpectedly, the owner of this ship caught them red-handed before the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance came.
Fortunately, this was the second time that his magic was seen through. Gao Zhengyang could be considered to have experienced it, and he was very calm.
However, he couldn't help but complain to Bai Ling in a low voice, "Your family's magic is too weak. It's really a trap."
Bai Ling was also speechless. Every time she used her magic, she would be caught. Was it because Gao Zhengyang's skill was not good enough, or was it because her family's magic was too bad?
This was really hard to say.
Jiaojiao was more and more satisfied with Gao Zhengyang. This kind of elegant and calm man with an unfathomable and mysterious temperament was too interesting!
"Please."
Jiaojiao said as she turned around and left. The two guards didn't dare to be careless, and stared at Gao Zhengyang with a face full of vigilance.
Gao Zhengyang casually waved his sleeves, and brought the little fox spirit out of the warehouse with Jiaojiao.
Bai Ling whispered into Gao Zhengyang's ear, "That woman looks like a prostitute. You have to be careful."
"What should I be careful of?"
Gao Zhengyang said to Bai Ling in a serious tone, "You don't understand. Men like coquettish women. Why are you fox spirits so popular, isn't it because of your coquettishness … … "
"Bastard!" Bai Ling was so angry that she clenched her teeth and fiercely kicked Gao Zhengyang's calf. However, the kick hurt her own toes, and tears of grievance almost flowed out.
(Happy new year to everyone ~)
