Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 482: Old Friends at Sea
maritime.
Meng Wei mobilized all his manpower in the South China Sea and finally found Jin Jiuling's trace half a day later. He learned that he went east after going out to sea.
Su Weiyun immediately asked someone to prepare a speedboat, and he and Lu Xiaofeng quickly chased eastward.
As for Meng Wei, Su Weiyun asked him to stay in Nanhai to contact Hua Huafeng and others, to clarify everything involved in the case of the Embroidery Thief, and then wait quietly for Su Weiyun to come back.
The blue sea is boundless.
The sea in autumn is different from the sea in spring.
When spring comes and flowers bloom, the sea is calm, the weather is pleasant, and from time to time small fishes can be seen swimming in the water, happy, relaxed and at ease.
In autumn, the sky is a quiet blue, and the sea, like the sky, appears deep and mysterious.
Dark blue, all dark blue.
The wind blew gently on the sea, and the sea was covered with clouds and mist, and the sunlight was not visible.
Su Weiyun's mood was as heavy as the world and the sea.
Lu Xiaofeng was fine, though he knew that he had been cheated by Jin Jiuling, fortunately it was probably not the first time he was cheated by his friend, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Su Weiyun, why are you so sad? Do you feel uncomfortable going out to sea? Are you going to get seasick?"
Lu Xiaofeng faced the cool sea breeze and breathed in the fresh air on the sea unrestrainedly, as if he had forgotten all the unpleasant experiences before.
Su Weiyun asked back: "Why don't you look so sad? Do you think you can definitely catch up with Jin Jiuling?"
Lu Xiaofeng said calmly: "Jin Jiuling fled with a total of tens of millions of taels of supplies, so he must have been traveling on multiple large ships. Why can't we catch up with him with our light boats and speedboats?"
Su Weiyun sighed, "In this vast ocean, where can I find the trace?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled again and said, "It won't be impossible to find him. Even if we can't catch up with him now, we will definitely get news in the future."
"If Jin Jiuling really ran away to a desolate and uninhabited island on the sea with so much gold and silver and spent half his life there, wouldn't that be a waste?"
What Lu Xiaofeng said makes sense. Even if a person possesses all the wealth in the world, what is the point if he cannot interact with others and lives on a deserted island?
Lu Xiaofeng continued, "And the calligraphy and paintings of Hua Yuxuan! Gold and silver may be used in other places, but if I want to sell these calligraphy and paintings, I'm afraid I have to go back to the Central Plains!"
He thinks very carefully and thoroughly, you really can't say he is a stupid person.
——The reason why he was often deceived might be simply because those who deceived him were once his friends, and he was a person who never considered himself.
Su Weiyun finally smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you have a friend named Hua Manlou?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, it's the man who had dinner with Master Kugua that day. I guess you can't tell that he lost his sight a long time ago!"
Su Weiyun nodded slowly and said, "Anyone who has met Hua Manlou can't help but admire him. Because even though he is blind, he is more optimistic and positive than most people in the world."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have always regarded him as one of my best friends."
Su Weiyun changed the subject and said, "But now I think your optimism is not much inferior to his!"
Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "There are already enough bad things in this world . If I don't laugh a little more, won't it be even worse?!"
He suddenly looked far away, toward a place in the distance, and said, "I heard someone say before that girls who love to laugh will never have bad luck."
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "It's a pity that you are not a girl."
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and stared at him, then said seriously, "Then it seems that you must be a girl ."
Su Weiyun glared at him: "Why?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because we are really lucky! Look ahead!"
Sure enough, right in front of us, as if at the end of the sea, there was a tiny black dot. If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t be able to see it at all.
The tiny black dot is gradually growing larger at a very slow speed.
Su Weiyun stared into the distance and said, "Do you think that is Jin Jiuling's ship?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe, maybe not. But at least we can go and ask them if they have found any trace of Jin Jiuling!"
The ship that Meng Wei prepared for Su Weiyun and Lu Xiaofeng was not very big, but it was indeed very fast. It was originally a government ship, and its materials and design were both top-notch.
The boatmen were all experienced sailors, and it didn't take long for Su Weiyun and Lu Xiaofeng to catch up with the boat in front.
…
On another big ship.
There is good news and bad news.
The bad news was that this ship was not Jin Jiuling's ship, but the good news was that Su Weiyun and Lu Xiaofeng were warmly received by the ship owner and were treated to a big meal.
This was a rare enjoyment for the two people who had previously only been able to eat dry food and drink water.
——There was no other way. Anyone who met two "guests" whose voices could be heard for hundreds of feet, and then who stepped on the sea and flew up to the sky easily, would dare not fail to entertain them seriously.
While eating, Lu Xiaofeng said to the boat owner: "It seems that you are also a martial arts expert. If you encounter any problems at sea in the future, tell me my name, Lu Xiaofeng, and everyone will give you some face."
The boat owner was a man in his thirties, not very tall, but his eyes were very sharp, looking both indifferent and cruel.
At first glance, he looks like someone who has been in the underworld for many years.
Although this ship is not as fast as Su Weiyun's, it is much larger and more luxurious.
Lu Xiaofeng was very happy to be on such a nice ship, and he kept saying, "The chief of the Twelve Linked Docks on the Yangtze River is my friend, and I also know Ye Gucheng from Feixian Island in the South China Sea... You don't have to be nervous when you meet them in the future, just say my name and everything will be fine."
The ship owner remained calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another chance."
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Why?"
The boat owner said, "Because I am about to go to an unknown island and study martial arts diligently. I will leave the mountains only after I have mastered it."
Lu Xiaofeng was still eating, but he asked in confusion: "What island? Could it be that there is a lost martial art on that island?"
But the ship owner did not answer, he did not want to say.
The fact that he was able to tell Lu Xiaofeng these things showed that he already regarded Lu Xiaofeng as a friend, so Lu Xiaofeng did not ask any more questions.
Su Weiyun suddenly asked, "Have we met at the foot of Wolf Mountain?"
The ship owner said without hesitation: "Yes!"
"If it weren't for the old senior at the foot of Wolf Mountain who deflected my sword, I might have attacked Hero Su without knowing whether to live or die!"
Lu Xiaofeng didn't even bother to drink the wine. He looked at Su Weiyun and this time he was really surprised and said, "I didn't expect your fame to be more useful than mine!"
Su Weiyun recalled carefully and asked again: "Do you have to go to that mysterious island?"
He seemed to have guessed where the mysterious island the ship owner was talking about was.
The boat owner said, "That's right! I want to learn martial arts and take revenge!"
"revenge?!"
"My name is Chang Wuyi, and my father is Chang Mantian, who was blinded by the 'Embroidered Thief'!"
