741: In the desert, the Stone Forest Cave Mansion.

Jiang Chi paused slightly as he looked at the transparent characters that appeared in front of him.

"Do you know where the Stone Forest Cave Mansion is?" Jiang Chi asked, turning his head and looking at Ah Jiu who was leaning on the carriage and staring at him.

While talking, an elegant man in a blue shirt passed by the carriage, and he smelled a faint scent of tulips.

"In the desert." Gong Jiu pursed his lips lightly. It would be impossible for him to tell the specific location.After all, Lu Chi, if he takes his brother to the wrong place, he will suffer.

"..."

He also knew that Shilin Cave House was in the desert, but Ah Jiu also said before that he never knew the way, so he couldn't embarrass a road idiot.

Jiang Chi was about to ask some people for directions, when he saw the man passing by the carriage, he stopped suddenly.

"I do know where the Stone Forest Cave Mansion is." Chu Liuxiang turned around, he was hesitating just now, the two people who passed by were extraordinary, and they couldn't tell whether they were enemies or friends.He wanted to test it out. After all, there are many people who know where the Stone Forest Cave Mansion is, and they will meet in the desert sooner or later.If the two were in line with what he wanted, it would be tricky to deal with.

"I don't know if your Excellency is willing to lead the way?" Hearing this, Jiang Chi looked at Chu Liuxiang.

"Of course I would." Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose, looked at the two people in front of him for a while, and felt that they were both very skilled.He had met the man with a leather whip pinned to his waist before.If he remembered correctly, that person was Gong Jiu.A few days ago, the Taiping Palace released news that anyone who mentioned his name in front of the prince would be killed.I didn't expect to meet him today.

"Good brother, if you ask others to help, you must give some rewards." Gong Jiu glanced at Chu Liuxiang, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Chi's sleeve, and continued with a chuckle: "Negotiate the reward first and make an agreement, which can also prevent others from I ran away halfway. You and I don’t know the way, but we still know people.”

"That's fine." Hearing this, Jiang Chi counted the 200 taels of silver that Lu Xiaofeng gave him, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "How about 20 taels for your travel expenses?"

20 taels, really can't be more.

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, and said: "20 taels of gold? It's not impossible. But you are really unnecessary, after all, I can't run away."

After Chu Liuxiang finished speaking, she shifted her gaze to Gong Jiu, and secretly said in her heart: "Old fox."

"20 taels of silver." Jiang Chi corrected.

"..."

Chu Liuxiang coughed lightly, and after thinking for a while, smiled softly and said, "I know a friend who is waiting for me on a ship not far away. If you two don't mind, the four of us can stay together on the small boat It is estimated that it will take a few hours to reach the Great Desert."

It wasn't because of money that he walked with the two people in front of him, but it was only 20 taels of silver, which really surprised him.If he hadn't looked at the seriousness of the person in front of him, he would have wondered if he was being played.

"Thank you." Jiang Chi smiled slightly.

His 20 taels will be reimbursed by Lu Xiaofeng when the time comes.

As Chu Liuxiang passed one ship after another, he always wondered if it might be the small one.But as he walked forward and the ship got bigger, he couldn't help suspecting that Chu Liuxiang was joking with him.

"I don't know what to call your Excellency?" Jiang Chi looked at the person who was leading the way with a folding fan in front of him, and said indifferently.

"Chu Liuxiang." Chu Liuxiang pursed her lips and smiled.

He hadn't heard of it, and he didn't know anyone in the rivers and lakes, whether they were famous or not.The only person he could remember clearly was the person who owned the nine jade pendants mentioned by Lu Xiaofeng.

Chu Liuxiang glanced sideways slightly, seeing that Jiang Chi didn't respond, and was not puzzled.

"I don't know how you two should be called?" Chu Liuxiang closed his folding fan, pointed to the largest ship parked by the water, and continued: "This is it."

"Jiangchi."

"Ah Jiu."

After boarding the boat with Chu Liuxiang, Jiang Chi supported the plank of the boat, feeling that Chu Liuxiang was too modest.How can this be a small boat, even if hundreds of people can sit on this boat.

Right now, there are only three of them in the boat, so it's a bit empty.

"Old bug, you finally..." Hearing a familiar voice, Hu Tiehua bumped into Jiang Chi and Gong Jiu as soon as he stepped out of the boat.

"Who are these two?" Hu Tiehua looked at Chu Liuxiang who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Are you freezing outside?"

Although he didn't know that handsome man, he had seen and heard of Gong Jiu standing beside him.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Chi coughed lightly.

Anyone who brings two strangers without their friends knowing will be a little offended.So he could understand, but he was wondering if he still had to give 20 taels to the bearded man in front of him.

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly and shook her head, without saying anything.Seeing this, Hu Tiehua didn't ask any more questions.After knowing what the two people in front of him should be called, Hu Tiehua turned the bow of the boat to make the boat move, and then got off the bottom of the boat.

"I'll find a suitable boat house for you." Hu Tiehua said the moment he walked down.

"It's good for the two of us to share one room, don't take too much, I'm sorry." Seeing that Hu Tiehua was very wary of them, Gong Jiu said with a slight smile.

The reason why he only wanted one room was because he was worried that the two people on board would be unfavorable to him and his brother.Furthermore, he also wants to get along well with his good brother and work out their relationship.

When Hu Tiehua heard this, he paused.But only for a while, then left.

"Since everyone is in the same boat, don't be suspicious of each other." After Gong Jiu finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Chi to his side and said softly.

"Mutual suspicion?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chi looked at Chu Liuxiang.The person in front of him just smiled lightly, and there was no threat at all.On the contrary, Hu Tiehua, just now, was somewhat hostile towards the two of them.

"I don't know what you two are talking about going to the Stone Forest Cave Mansion?" Chu Liuxiang sat on a stool made of wooden piles beside him, poured four bowls of wine, and asked.

"Look for someone." After Jiang Chi sat down, he took the drink from Chu Liuxiang and responded.

"Who are you looking for?" Chu Liuxiang asked again.

"Shi Guanyin." Jiang Chi raised his eyes to look at Chu Liuxiang. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Liuxiang's hand holding the wine bowl pause.

"What? Brother Chu is also looking for Shi Guanyin?" Jiang Chi lowered his head and took a sip of his drink, then smiled lightly.

Chu Liuxiang said nothing, just touched his nose, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Chi tapped the wooden table a few times, and he also hesitated. Although Chu Liuxiang in front of him looked elegant and harmless, who could know what the person in front of him was like.

"No matter what, you are the guide. Since Ah Jiu and I have chosen you, we will not do anything unfavorable to you during this period." Jiang Chi sighed softly and comforted him.

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, and said, "You've said that, if I'm still worried about here and there, wouldn't it be unreasonable."

When Hu Tiehua came up from the bottom of the boat, he saw Chu Liuxiang drinking happily.It was in vain for him to set up many organs in the room by himself, and the person in front of him looked like a normal person, and he found a dangerous person outside, and he was able to sit safely on the boat.Most importantly, Chu Liuxiang didn't call him when she was drinking!

"Old bug, you should save some for me." Hu Tiehua said, walked to Chu Liuxiang, picked up the wine bowl on the side, and asked tentatively: "Is there no one drinking this wine?"

"This is for you." Chu Liuxiang smiled and shook his head, helplessly.

"You still have a conscience." After Hu Tiehua finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Jiang Chi raised his eyes slightly, he could tell that even when Hu Tiehua was drinking, that person's eyes would glance over him and Ah Jiu from time to time.

"In this sea, there will be people who rob ships not only at night, but also during the day." Chu Liuxiang said, stood up from the stool, looked at the ship approaching them not far away, and said calmly.

Hearing the words, Jiang Chi paused slightly, and said, "Your ship is so big, isn't it more attractive to those who rob the ship? If there were no two of us, you would stay here alone?"

"You don't understand." Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly, and continued: "The boat is small, and some people who rely on the size of the boat will bump into you. If the boat capsizes, wouldn't it be a dead end?"

"The boat is big, so it gives people the feeling that there are many people inside. As long as they are not very skilled people, who would provoke the people on the big boat?" As soon as Chu Liuxiang finished speaking, he saw the boat on the side bumping towards them.

Seeing Jiang Chi, he got up from the stool and was about to say something when he heard a "bang".

The boat they were on shook violently, and he almost fell because he couldn't stand firmly.If Ah Jiu hadn't moved quickly to grab him, he might be sitting on the bottom of the boat instead of his legs.

"Good brother, don't move." After Gong Jiu finished speaking, his eyes darkened a little.

The boat was still shaking, and the wine bowl on the wooden table had been smashed to pieces.Hu Tiehua held the wooden table with one hand and pressed the stool with the other, barely avoiding falling.

"Ah Jiu?" Jiang Chi tilted his head, seeing that it was very hard for Hu Tiehua to control him by himself, he couldn't help but worry about whether Ah Jiu could support the two of them.

Gong Jiu heard the sound, smiled lightly, and said: "With my brother on my body, what are these things? It's just that the boat shakes violently, and I feel a little uncomfortable. If my brother can still free his hands, why don't you prick my chest with a needle?" Acupuncture point."

Hearing this, Jiang Chi really felt that the body of the person behind him was extremely hot.After pricking it with a needle, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

If he sees Gong Jiu in the future, he will be cut into pieces.Seeing how Gong Jiu forced his subordinates to behave, he would easily have strange reactions at every turn. If he hadn't been proficient in acupoints, Ah Jiu beside him would have been extremely uncomfortable?

When Hu Tiehua, who was sitting beside him, saw it, he felt a breath in his chest and almost suffocated him.The boat swayed extremely violently, and he only felt that Gong Jiu was the heir of Prince Taiping, and his arms were so strong.He was ashamed of himself.

Chu Liuxiang, who was standing on the side, held the boat plank with a slightly white hand, and he was watching who bumped into their boat.After seeing clearly a monk in plain clothes and white socks came out of that boat, Chu Liuxiang was slightly taken aback.

"No flowers?" Chu Liuxiang asked doubtfully.

At the same time, the ship they were on stopped shaking.

Jiang Chi stood up, looking at Ah Jiu unconsciously with a little more worry in his eyes.But seeing that there was nothing wrong with the person in front of him, the worry in his eyes disappeared.

"Your complexion is not very good." Seeing that Ah Jiu's face was still a little rosy than before, Jiang Chi took out the silver needle, and just about to pierce it again, saw Ah Jiu dodge.

"Maybe it was caused by the sea breeze, and this is the first time I've helped my brother, so I'm a little embarrassed." Gong Jiu shook hands, the remaining warmth of his brother still in his hands.

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Hearing this, Jiang Chi reluctantly put away the silver needle and chuckled.

"Hu Daxia, it's really lively today. If I'm not mistaken, a big man will be on board soon." Chu Liuxiang said, left the board, sat next to Hu Tiehua, and continued: "I don't know whether it's good or evil. But since we can hit it, there must be something coming to us."

"Do I need to avoid it with Ah Jiu?" Jiang Chi asked in a low voice, seeing that Chu Liuxiang's expression was a little tense.

"No, everyone who comes is a guest. After all, you paid the money." Chu Liuxiang listened, stretched her brows, and said with a smile.

In fact, he wasn't worried that Wuhua would come to trouble them, but that Shi Guanyin had sensed their movement and would set up an ambush in Shilin Cave Mansion.There are already many organs in the Shilin Cave Mansion, and it is not easy to enter, and it is not easy to exit after entering.If Shi Guanyin was more prepared, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for them to retreat completely.

"If you need help, you can come to me." He was on this boat, and naturally he didn't want the people on board to have an accident.After all, for him, finding his way at sea is much more difficult than finding his way on shore.

"Okay." There was a smile in Chu Liuxiang's eyes, and he could tell that Jiang Chi really wanted to help.As for Gong Jiu, he seemed to listen to Jiang Chi very much.If this is the case, if the two of them don't attack Jiang Chi, Gong Jiu probably won't be their enemy.

"I don't know if I can let Wuhua stay for a few more hours?" Wuhua tapped the back of the boat with her toes, jumped onto the boat, looked at the two familiar people in front of her, and then at Jiang Chi and Gong Jiu, who had their backs to him, indifferently road.

You have hit the boat, and you are talking so many polite words.

Jiang Chi tilted his head to look at Monk Suyi who was standing not far away, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Of course." Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and smiled.The boat bumped so hard, he didn't need to look to know that the boat Wuhua was on before must have leaked.

"It's better to give up the room prepared for me and brother to this person." Gong Jiu said, turning to look at Wuhua.

"..."

Hu Tiehua coughed lightly upon hearing this.Thinking of the various mechanisms he had arranged in the room, he hesitated and said, "It's not impossible."

"Thank you." Wu Hua saw Gong Jiu turn around, her eyes flashed with astonishment.He got news from the rivers and lakes that Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua would arrive in the desert by boat, but no one told him that Prince Taiping's son would also go there together.However, due to the other news he got from the rivers and lakes, it is inconvenient for him to talk more with the person in front of him.

In case Gong Jiu's identity is accidentally revealed, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua are not the only ones he will face.
