Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 483: Nameless Island
Chang Mantian, deputy chief escort of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, was one of the masters whose eyes were blinded by the "Embroidery Thief".
Chang Wuyi said that he was Chang Mantian's son.
Lu Xiaofeng was surprised and asked, "You are his son? Are you also Zhenyuan's escort?"
Chang Wuyi said: "I am a bandit, a bandit who specifically fights against escorts."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly fell silent.
It's not like he hasn't encountered this kind of thing before - a majestic father and a rebellious son.
The more the father wants to consolidate his prestige, the more rebellious the son will be and the more he will challenge his father; so if the father becomes a bodyguard, the son will become a bandit.
Su Weiyun asked, "You want to learn martial arts, then find the Embroidered Thief and avenge your father?"
Chang Wuyi's eyes revealed determination, and he said, "Yes!"
Lu Xiaofeng said, "To be honest, we are here to chase the Embroidered Thief! The Embroidered Thief is Jin Jiuling, the chief constable of the Six Gates. Have you seen him?"
Chang Wuyi's expression was greatly agitated, and he asked several questions in succession: "I have never met Jin Jiuling. Could he be the real Embroidery Thief?! Are you here to chase him? Did he escape to the sea?"
"Indeed."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
"What a great Jin Jiuling... The Six Gates, collusion between officials and bandits... Jin Jiuling..."
After a while, Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "Have you been to see the escort leader Chang Mantian?"
Chang Wuyi's expression suddenly turned gloomy again. After a long while, he said, "No. I don't have the face to see him."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the luxurious furnishings, maids and boatmen around him, stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "How could that be? Anyone who has a son like you will be proud."
Chang Wuyi turned around, facing away from the two men, and said calmly, "No. He is the escort leader, and I am a bandit. I even robbed this ship. What should he be proud of me for?"
"I'll go get two jars of wine."
After he said that, he left the cabin and went to the cargo hold on the lower floor.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "There are so many joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, gratitude and hatred in this world that words cannot express them."
He suddenly stopped drinking and picked up his chopsticks, tapped the bowl for fun, and sang loudly:
"When will the spring flowers and autumn moons end? How much do we know about the past? The east wind blew again last night in my small building, and I can't bear to look back at my homeland in the moonlight."
"The carved railings and jade steps should still be there, but the red face has changed. How much sorrow can you have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward."
This was originally a sad poem by Li Houzhu, but when he sang it, it sounded bold, generous, and dignified, with a different flavor.
“Good, good lyrics, good song!”
Chang Wuyi, who was outside the door, came in again, placed two large jars of wine on the table, and praised loudly.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled proudly and said, "I do sing out of tune sometimes, but I understand the emotions in the lyrics better than anyone else!"
He was still smiling, but at this moment, others felt that he was ultimately just a wandering child.
Chang Wuyi opened the two jars of wine, and a rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air, spreading throughout the cabin.
"Good wine should be drunk with good people. I was originally planning to give away these two jars of precious Du Kang wine, but now it seems that it is better for us to drink them!"
Lu Xiaofeng took the wine jar, opened it, and asked, "Give it away? Are you planning to give it to the person on that mysterious island?"
Chang Wuyi took a big gulp of the wine, then closed his mouth tightly again.
He doesn't want to say it, he can't say it.
Su Weiyun said: "You don't need to ask. He won't say anything. But I can tell you."
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Can you tell me?"
Su Weiyun said: "I don't ask for anything from anyone, so of course I can tell you."
Lu Xiaofeng didn't even drink the wine, grabbed Su Weiyun's shoulders, and asked, "Do you know?"
He is very curious, which has always been his biggest flaw.
Su Weiyun said: "Of course I know. Not only do I know about that mysterious island, I've even been there!"
Chang Wuyi's eyes lit up and he asked , "Have you really been there?"
Su Weiyun said: "It's actually not that great. If you go there to learn martial arts, it won't necessarily be much better than in the Central Plains."
Chang Wuyi's eyes dimmed again, and he said, "Then you and I are probably not going to the same place. The place I went to not only has lost martial arts and secrets of various sects, but most importantly, there is also a mysterious master who has never been seen in the world!"
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Mysterious master? Is his martial arts very high? Better than mine?"
Chang Wuyi said confidently: "He is the most skilled martial artist I have ever seen. His martial arts are no longer human, but divine!"
When Chang Wuyi said this, there was a strange look in his eyes that was a mixture of fear, awe, and even a bit of sacred piety.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said, "There is no real god. Maybe he is just good at playing tricks!"
Su Weiyun asked, "Is the person you are talking about a little old man? A round face, a bald head, and dressed like a gardener?"
Chang Wuyi almost jumped up, the wine in his mouth choked him and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
"You...you...you really met him?!"
It was hard for Lu Xiaofeng to imagine that a man as cold as a knife could lose his composure like this.
Su Weiyun said slowly: "I have met him several times, and he is indeed worthy of your praise!"
Chang Wuyi asked, "So you have really been to that nameless island?"
Su Weiyun said: "I have been there, but I only stayed for one day. The old man gave me five hundred taels of silver and a speedboat, and drove me away."
"Driven away?"
Chang Wuyi wanted to ask for more information, but Su Weiyun asked first: "How do you know him?"
"After I came out of Wolf Mountain, I knew that you had ruined all my business in the underworld, so I had to find another way, so I came to the seaside."
"After I came here, I found that the pirates on the coast robbed and transported more, but their martial arts were not as good as those of the gangsters in the Central Plains, so I simply settled down here."
Chang Wuyi continued, "And that mysterious old man, I met him once when I was traveling across the ocean to Japan."
"When I robbed other people, of course I showed no mercy! I wreaked havoc in Japan and robbed a lot of things, and then he showed up. He looked at me with a smile, said I was a good candidate, and asked if I would like to visit his island."
Su Weiyun and Lu Xiaofeng listened to him attentively. Chang Wuyi took a sip of wine to moisten his throat before saying, "Of course I don't want to! I'm having a good time at the seaside every day. Why would I want to go to some nameless island?"
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Then how do you know what the Nameless Island is?"
Chang Wuyi said: "He told me. After I rejected his invitation, he didn't say anything, but just taught me a few martial arts skills."
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "So you know that his martial arts skills are very high?"
Chang Wuyi's voice became very strange: "It's so high that it's scary!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "He taught you these two martial arts naturally to tempt you to go to the Nameless Island to find him!"
Chang Wuyi said: "I know that too. I also know that once I go, I will definitely pay a huge price, but this temptation is too great for a martial arts student!"
Su Weiyun sighed and said, "Besides, you are so eager to take revenge now!"
Chang Wuyi said coldly: "That's right! After I learn martial arts, I will definitely seek revenge on the Embroidered Thief!"
"The sea is vast, and there are very few traces left when traveling. I know this very well. It will be very difficult for you to find his trace again. He will definitely die in my hands in the end!"
Chang Wuyi said it with certainty.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything, just drank silently.
He also knew that once Jin Jiuling went out to sea, the possibility of catching him back would be extremely small. Jin Jiuling only needed to find an island to hide, and when the storm had passed, he could change into a decent identity and come out again.
But even if they knew, what could they do? Would they just watch Jin Jiuling escape?
Chasing is always better than not chasing.
Lu Xiaofeng thought that Su Weiyun must have thought the same, so he came to chase her.
At this time, Su Weiyun suddenly said: "I will go to Wuming Island with you!"
Chang Wuyi said, "You want to come with me? No, the old man said that when I arrive at the designated location, someone will naturally pick me up, but it can only be me alone!"
Su Weiyun said: "Don't worry, I am an old friend of the old man, he will welcome me!"
Chang Wuyi still hesitated and said: "You..."
Lu Xiaofeng shouted, "I'm going too! If you guys are all going, how can I not go?!"
He drank too much and felt very heroic. He also planned to go and see the nameless island that was touted to be magical and unique!
Su Weiyun said: "Okay, then we all go!"
Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Then...what about Jin Jiuling? Who will chase him?"
Su Weiyun showed a mysterious smile and said slowly: "No need to chase him anymore. Maybe we went to the same place as him!"
