Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 339: The Missing Master

Hearing the news that the two great alchemists may have an accident, the one who is most worried is the alchemist Guangzhi of Erdao Island. After all, he also stayed by the side of the two great masters for a few years, and now he was a little nervous and said to the steward: "Have those two owners checked it? Is there any news?"

"The entire Dengzhou Wharf and surrounding shops and caravans of the Surabaya have been thoroughly investigated, but the two great masters seem to have disappeared completely. There is still no trace." The secret letter from the two masters asked him to investigate the whereabouts of the two great masters in Ancheng. It was only this morning that he received a close friend of his boss, and he knew the reason for investigating the whereabouts of Master Dafang before.

After a wry smile, the chief steward continued: "The two owners want to inquire about the meaning of the living gods, do you want to tell Master Xu Fu directly? Or do you want to check it again? If the living gods are afraid of trouble If so, the two owners will report to Master Dafang..."

"Is there any hesitation in this? Go to Xu Fu. We are not the fathers of Guangren and Huohua. They have not been filial to Lao Tzu. Why should Lao Tzu care about them?" When Gui and Guangzhi spoke, Bai Wuqiu had already said a few words first. After a pause, it continued: "Talk to your brothers Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, just pretend that you haven't been here, that we don't know anything... dead..."

Naturally, the chief steward would not go back to report like this. At the moment, he sneered. After taking a look at Guibugui and Guangzhi, he hesitantly said: "Just go back like this? Or do the old gods have other things? idea?"

"Senior Gui, you and Guangren are only temporary disciples anyway. Considering Master Xu Fu's face, should we go and find out the whereabouts of the two masters?" With a thought, Guangzhi hurriedly persuaded a few words. After a pause, he continued: "It's okay to look for it, the provincial master Xu Fu is to blame, you can't explain it to my brother."

After listening to Guangzhi's words, Guibugui smiled and said, "Then I will give you a face to Senior Brother Guangzhi. I have been tired of staying in Chang'an for the past few years. Thanks to Guangren and the volcano, We can also go out for a walk. Ya Jin, let's go out for a walk together. Fortunately, you are not a vassal king who has let go, otherwise it would not be easy to go out for a walk... Wu Mian, what do you mean?"

Wu Mian glanced at Gui Bugui calmly, and then said in his unique tone: "You have already decided to ask me again? I can't have an idea with your son, right?"

"It's really thanks to those two great masters. Old Cheng and I haven't traveled far for a long time." After Cheng Yaojin laughed, he interrupted to relieve the embarrassment for his godfather. Then he called his housekeeper from downstairs and asked him to prepare for the trip first.

According to Li Tang's system, Wang Jue could not leave the capital without permission. But now Li Tang has become Wu Zhou, and the capital has also moved to Luoyang.

No one pays attention to this double king, and Wu Mian and Gui Bugui are his backers. Even if Wu Zetian wants to trouble Cheng Yaojin again, he will hesitate again and again.

This trip is different from the previous one. Cheng Yaojin's Shuangwang and King Jue traveled, and there were more than 120 people on the guard of honor alone, and this was not considered an escort. Originally, I thought it was troublesome that Cheng Yaojin didn't plan to take so many people out. However, Xiao Ren San, who was so lively, was rolling around to bring this rare pomp in the past. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were used to this little guy. Hundreds of people walked out of Chang'an City with great momentum.

Although Cheng Yaojin doesn't have a real job, his reputation is far and wide. Maybe no one knows that the dynasty has been changed, but it is mentioned that Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of chaos who made the country in the past, has rarely heard of his name. All the officials who passed through the prefecture and county on the way met Gao Ying from afar and tried their best to compliment him. The only person who can compare to Lao Cheng's treatment is probably the Empress Wu Zetian.

Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Guangzhi are nothing, but Xiao Ren Min and Bai Wuqiu are enjoying it. His Majesty the Demon King even secretly wrote down the honor guard of his silly brother and plans to return to After the demon mountain, he also gave himself a few guards of honor.

If you travel lightly, you will be able to arrive at the Dengzhou Wharf in about ten days. However, after the momentum of the king of this country was made, it took a full month to reach Dengzhou City. He was greeted by the prefect here and entered the city. After the banquet, the crowd and the demons were arranged in the pavilion in the city.

Because it is the residence of His Royal Highnesses, the inn has been contracted and no one else is allowed to enter.

Originally planned to rest at Guanyi for one night, and rushed to the pier outside the city the next day. Just when Lao Cheng was about to sleep, Cheng Yaojin's housekeeper knocked on the door of his bedroom. Before Cheng Yaojin became angry, the butler hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, there are two owners of the Sishui ship, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan are here to ask to see you..."

"The two of them have also returned to land? It seems that it is not a small matter, which scared them both."

After Cheng Yaojin muttered, he said to the housekeeper: "Go, call my father and uncle. Old Cheng, I also see what the two owners of the Surabaya ship have to make money. Earn more than the emperor..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin said that he was asking for a meeting. When the old city arrived in the living room, the two owners were already waiting here. After seeing the appearance of Cheng Yaojin, who was wearing the king's clothes and hugged by the python, the two white-haired owners hurried over to greet him.

But Lao Cheng helped him out, and said with a smile: "Everyone is white-haired, so don't look outside. Who knows when Lao Cheng has bad luck, and I will find you two. The owner is borrowing money. Now you salute Lao Cheng and me, and when the day when I really borrow money, do you think Lao Cheng will also give one to the two of you?"

"His Royal Highness is the most blessed person in the world, and the request is also requested by our brothers." After Liu Xi smiled slightly, he continued: "Money and wealth are external things, if your Highness uses money, feel free to speak. Starting today, The Surabaya ship dedicates 50,000 taels of gold to His Highness every year as a token of my and Xiaochuan's filial piety to His Highness."

"In the end, he is a wealthy man. As soon as he opens his mouth, he is 50,000 taels of gold every year." At this time, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the others also walked out. After hearing Liu Xi's conversation with Cheng Yaojin, Gui Bugui continued with a smile: "Yaojin, the two kings, doesn't have so much annual salary in one year, so he is richer now."

Cheng Yaojin and Hungry Kings are nothing more than 100,000 shilu rice and 35,000 yuan per year. There are also several acres of land produced in Wangzhuang. There is no 10,000 taels of gold added together, but Cheng Yaojin's family is solid. At present, he accounted for half of the treasure brought down by Wagang Mountain. When the kings and officials were swept to the end a few years ago, Lao Cheng pretended not to spend that money. Usually, he relies heavily on pen money to support him. Old Cheng is worried about how he will live in the future when his money is spent. Now there is 50,000 gold per year from the Surabaya. That's really open for money.

Seeing Wu Mian and Gui Bugui come out, brothers Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan hurriedly saluted them. He was stopped by no return: "If you have something to say, we are all our own family.

Is Xu Fu already aware of it? Or have you already found something? "

"The two great masters disappeared on the dock of Xiaochuan and I and His Highness. How dare you let Master Xu Fu know?" At this time, Sun Xiaochuan continued with a smile: "If you don't come and see for yourself, once it's out What is the matter, when Master Xu Fu asks the two of us, we don't know how to answer, so it's ugly."

"Xiao Chuan, if you dare to speak like that, it means that you have some eyebrows, right?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued: "Tell me, if we can help a few of us, we will help. If we can't help. If you do, you can also testify to your brothers at the old guy Xu Fu, that it was Guangren and Huohua who ran away by themselves, not the two of you trying to kill for money.”

"This is not a joke, old man, please don't scare our brothers." Sun Xiaochuan stuck out his tongue, then lowered his voice and said, "Someone saw those two generous people on the boat going to Nanshan Island from Nanhai Pier. Teacher. But only the two of them were seen getting on the boat, but no one saw them getting off the boat..."

"Nanshan Island?" Gui Bugui was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember where this Nanshan Island was. Guangren could give up to see Xu Fu, disappeared for two years and finally appeared near Nanshan Island, saying that there was no problem there, even his stupid son would not believe it.

Seeing that Gui Bugui was interested in Nanshan Island, Sun Xiaochuan directly took out the chart from his arms. After laying the chart on the table, he pointed to a small black spot in the sea and said, "This is Nanshan Island, which was originally an uninhabited island. Later, fresh water was discovered on the island, and it became the A place for ships to supply fresh water and shelter from typhoons. Because there are still some products on the island, there have been people on the island in the past two hundred years.

Now that His Highness has ordered to find two great masters on the island, as soon as there is news, they will come over with drum whispers. "

After taking a look at Nanshan Island's position at sea, Gui Wugui took a look at the surrounding sea environment. The nearest island to Nanshan Island is also more than 200 miles away, because it is another route to Spo, and there was no such route when Guibugui traveled to and from Persia, so he had never heard of it.

After looking at the chart for a long time, Gui Bugui finally spoke again: "How big is this Nanshan Island? How many people are there on the island now? Can you get the list of people on the island?"

As soon as the voice of Guibugui fell, Sun Xiaochuan took out a stack of paper full of names from his arms. When handing the stack of papers to the old guy, he continued: "Nanshan Island is about the same size as the God of Fortune Island on our Sishui ship. There are 685 people on the island, including 509 Han Chinese. You said that at the beginning, His Highness and I also took a fancy to there. But we went to Surabaya a step late, and the people on the island have already formed a force.

A total of a palm-sized piece of land, and there will inevitably be friction for our people to land on the island again. This gave up, but we still know every move on the island. "

At this time, Wu Mian, who was standing on the side, suddenly said, "Does Guangren and the others go straight to Nanshan Island, or stop for supplies?"

"It went straight to Nanshan Island, and now the boat is still docked at the dock of Nanshan Island." At this time, Liu Xi answered Wu Mian's question. After a pause, he continued: "Although Nanshan Island has some fresh water, if they want to live there, they need to supply them with farm implements, medicines and other daily necessities on the island. Usually, passing boats bring them there. However, last year, the production of agricultural products on the island was not good, so we could only buy food from the land to survive. The two great masters were on a grain ship^”

"Isn't it just an overseas island? Where do they have money to buy food?" Guangzhi had experience living on an overseas island, and he immediately heard the problem.

Liu Xi nodded slightly at the alchemist of Baidao, and then explained: "The shallow sea of ​​Nanshan Island is rich in a kind of mussels that can go out to sea pearls. Otherwise, there would not be so many people living there." At that time, Liu Xi took out a playful sea bead from his arms. This sea bead was the size of a bull's eye, and it shone faintly under the light. However, Liu Xi handed it to his childhood playmate without hesitation, and then he continued: "There is another thing about jumping stilts. Nanshan Island has been missing since last year. The list in your hand, old man, is the missing person. There are currently 16 people missing. People on the island have also asked the Surabaya to help them find them. "

"Needless to say, the two masters, prepare the boat. You really can see what's going on when you get to the island." At this time, Gui Bugui put away the chart and the list of people and rushed to the island. After seeing Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan smiling for a while, they continued: "I didn't intend to go into the muddy waters of their alchemists again, but this is to see the face of you brothers. Master Xu Fu's heart is really not big. Knowing that his disciples and grandchildren have been lost on your dock, he has to give you two some shoes to wear. This time, it's all for your brothers."

"Yes, Liu Xi knows that your old man loves me and Xiaochuan." After a pause, Liu Xi continued with a smiling face: "If you have any dispatch from the old man in the future, just tell me, if there is nothing else on the Sishui number, you If we use money, we can still take out some." °You said this as if I was covetous of your wealth. After returning, he continued with a smile: "Let your people prepare. When we arrive at the pier tomorrow, we will set off and go to Nanshan Island to see how embarrassing that old guy Xu Fu is. Guangren and Huohua are lost, and Xu Fu is embarrassed... Hahaha..." Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan rushed to the pier overnight to make arrangements after they got the letter of permission to return.

After watching the two brothers leave Guanyi, Cheng Yaojin had no intention of continuing to sleep, and immediately said to his godfather: "In an island that produces sea pearls, what are those two Dafang masters doing there? ? Dad, can't someone impersonate the two of them to confuse us?"

"I was confused two years ago, so I don't need to be so troublesome." Gui Bugui smiled and glanced at Wu Mian beside him.

Seeing that he didn't mean to say anything, he continued: "The sea is Xu Fu's territory, even if Lu Wuji wants to deal with the two great masters again, he will not foolishly act under Xu Fu's nose. I think what happened to Guangren and Huoshan. After two years on land, they found out that the problem was on the Nanshan Island."

After finishing speaking, the old guy walked towards his dormitory in the backyard, and continued to say to the people behind him as he walked: "Don't think so much, we just do our best to show that old guy Xu Fu a look, he It's a shame, we're helping him find someone. It saves him having to turn his back on a small account later."

In the early morning of the next day, after dealing with the governor of Dengzhou, everyone came to the pier of the Surabaya. At this time, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan had already brought everyone from the pier to greet them ten miles away. After a few polite words, everyone entered the pier.

Under the guidance of the two owners, they boarded a huge ship directly. Although the ship was huge, it was still troublesome to bring Cheng Yaojin's guards of honor and guards of hundreds of people. In the end, Lao Cheng left his guard of honor in the pier, and he only brought his housekeeper to the boat.

After everyone boarded the ship, the big ship set off immediately. In addition to this big ship, there are more than ten clippers around to **** and deliver news. Looking at the ostentation of the two owners, Cheng Yaojin felt ashamed: "Old Cheng, I accompanied Emperor Taizong to the navy in the time difference, and I would be ashamed of Taizong when I said it. The dragon boat he was on was not half the size of this boat. The soldiers' ships can't even see anyone... It's the Surabaya, it's really rich."

"If King Cheng likes it, Xiaochuan will ask our Highness to be the master, and this ship will be given to King Cheng. Now the cook is preparing a banquet, let's take the opportunity to do some business first." Sun Xiaochuan on the side laughed, and then he said the end. To the point. Let his subordinates bring up a middle-aged man with a pot belly from the cabin below.

This person is the former steward of Dengzhou Wharf. The disciple who had been planted on the wharf by the volcano had already run away, and this fat middle-aged man was the successor.

"Zheng Da, tell me about what happened two years ago." After seeing the person who came, Sun Xiaochuan commanded again: "Your life is on your own lips, don't do anything else. I missed it."

"Yes, Xiao Xiao knows that he has made a big mistake, and dare not hide anything..." After the fat man named Zheng Da wiped away a cold sweat, he took a peek at the few people in front of him, and then continued. : "The youngest is called Zheng Da, and he was a steward on the dock two years ago. When the two great masters were dodging the typhoon, the youngest was on the side.

Later received a letter. After seeing the letter, the two of them left in a hurry. Zheng Da! Do you really want your life? At this time, Liu Xi frowned slightly, and then he continued to face the fat man who had begun to shiver: "Tell me about the thing you told me in the morning..."

"Yes, I was confused for a while... I read that letter..."
