Chapter 340: Luo Longwen
Bai Xiaowen specially wanted to come with two guards because he had two boats.
One of the ships is the warship of the Ming army that Hu Zongxian promised to allocate to him, and the other is the flagship of the Japanese pirate Chen Duyan.
The two ships were about the same size, and each ship had ninety guards on duty. These soldiers who have followed Yu Dayou for many years are incomparable to those second-hand fishermen. They are very skilled in steering the boat and identifying hydrology.
The leader of the two guards was the dark-skinned lieutenant named Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting was respectful and respectful to Bai Xiaowen along the way, but when he arrived at the waters near the Wusha Island reef, a dispute arose.
"No, you have to go to West Island to connect first and deliver the secret letter!" Bai Xiaowen said.
Passing the secret letter is an official task sent by Hu Zongxian, and it is an A-level task in itself, and of course it is not an elite-level task. The reason why Bai Xiaowen puts this task first is to put public affairs before personal interests, and to put easy tasks before difficult ones.
Zhang Ting shook his head again and again: "I can't delay the injury of the Lord, I must go to the North Island Ghost Reef immediately to pick the Artemisia spp."
"Even if I take Guihao, I can't go back if I don't send a letter." Bai Xiaowen intends to make sense of it.
Zhang Ting's thoughts were not slow, and he said: "Bai Xiaozheng, why don't we divide into two groups, you go to join the Japanese pirate lady, and I will take the brothers to pick the ghost wormwood, and finally meet again and return to the camp."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "That's not right. Sun Zhenzhen said that there are ghosts haunting the place where Artemisia annua grows, which is very dangerous."
Zhang Ting said with a smile: "Are you afraid of ghosts when you kill men? Don't worry, Bai Xiaoren, even if we die, we will never complain."
Hulala, a boat of soldiers knelt down on the ground. Fortunately, the people in the other boat didn't know, otherwise the people in both boats would kneel down.
This kneeling is no different from persecution.
Bai Xiaowen snorted and said, "Before I left, what did the Governor's order say? I asked you to obey my order. Why, are you going to disobey my order?"
Zhang Ting stiffened his neck: "I will treat the general as my father, and I will be so anxious that the general will not wake up for a day. Please fulfill Bai Xiaozheng!"
Bai Xiaowen: "It's a business for me to connect and send letters, and it's a private matter to search for medicines. It shouldn't be a personal matter. However, because of your savior's heart, I promise you..."
Zhang Ting did not expect Bai Xiaowen to let go so easily.
I was overjoyed and kowtowed my thanks again and again.
"Don't thank you so early," Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "Zhang Ting, since you are not afraid of ghosts, then only ten people are allowed to pick medicines and take a small boat to do it. The rest of the people have to follow me to the West Island to pick up and deliver letters. .”
Zhang Ting hesitated, but agreed. If he still disagrees, Bai Xiaowen will definitely not allow him to leave the ship. When the time comes, the hat of disobedience and disobedience will be removed, even if Yu Dayou wakes up, he will not be able to save him.
Zhang Ting, as an old soldier fighting in the army, has never believed in the theory of retribution from ghosts and gods. He agreed with his mouth, and then called ten of the most elite soldiers, and headed north in a small boat.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the boat to sail, and the attitude of the remaining soldiers towards him was not as respectful as before, probably because they felt that Bai Xiaowen did not put the matter of collecting herbs first, and felt resentful.
Bai Xiaowenhun didn't mind, anyway, these soldiers would not be obedient to others. As for the poor attitude, just pretend that you can't see it.
Sitting in the cabin, Li Shuyi asked in a low voice: "Can Zhang Ting and the others really pick back the ghost wormwood?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Why do you ask such a stupid question, what is the difficulty level of this task?"
"A-level elite mission..." Li Shuyi thought for a while and said, "So, it is very difficult for Zhang Ting and the others to complete the mission. Then why do you let them go?"
Bai Xiaowen: "Taoist Sun Xuanqing just said that there are ghosts haunting the place where Artemisia spp. grows. We don't know the strength and weaknesses of these ghosts. In this case, let Zhang Ting and the others test the water first... Wait After I sent the letter back, I set off to go to Beidao Ghost Reef to gather medicine."
According to Bai Xiaowen's guess, even if Zhang Ting and the others couldn't collect the ghost wormwood, at least they shouldn't be wiped out on the North Island ghost reef. After all, their ten elite soldiers are not weak. Zhang Ting, in particular, is a rare elite-level master.
After Zhang Ting got a bad nose, he could only wait for Bai Xiaowen to return to the boat. When he met him, he could ask Zhang Ting about some characteristics of the ghost and prepare some targeted measures.
Of course, it would be even better if Zhang Tingcai returned to Guihao. Is there anything more beautiful than completing an A-level elite mission without breaking a sweat?
In the dark, the two boats arrived at a bay on West Island, and after sending out the signal, they began to wait quietly.
In the middle of the moon, a small boat came across the waves, and one person boarded the official boat.
Obviously, this person is the messenger sent by the famous prostitute Wang Cuiqiao. Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised that this person was actually a scholar.
In the Ming Dynasty, when the culture was noble and the martial arts were cheap, and the books were the highest, it didn’t mean that a person who wore a long gown and coat was called a scholar, but only those who had the reputation of being a scholar were counted.
"Late student Luo Longwen, have you met two...jun masters?" Luo Xiucai was also a little confused when he saw Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi who were in charge. When Bai Xiaowen landed, he had already changed out of the tattered clothes that were the default in the rules of the spirit world, showing the original sorcerer's robe. Li Shuyi also showed her original kendo robe.
Such a Taoist priest, a swordsman wearing a strange robe, sitting in a ship of officers and soldiers, is full of strangeness.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hands and said, "I am a Taoist disciple practicing in seclusion, and this is my junior sister. You don't have to call me Junye. My surname is Bai, and her surname is Li. You can call me whatever you want."
"...Yes, Immortal Master Bai, and this Li, Xiangu Li..."
"Since Brother Luo has fame and fame, why do you still want to be a thief? It's not easy to wash away the reputation of Japanese pirates." Bai Xiaowen handed Hu Zongxian's secret letter over, and began to cliché.
Luo Longwen shook his head and said, "My ambition is not in fame and fortune."
"...Okay." Seeing that Luo Xiucai didn't want to talk more, Bai Xiaowen didn't force him to ask about his identity, but instead asked:
"The day before yesterday, Xu Hai and the Japanese pirates under Ye Mazi's command fought, did Brother Luo know?"
"Yes, it was Lord Hong who was the second leader and led people to fight with Chen Duyan under Ye Mazi's command. To tell you the truth, I am Master Hong's military adviser. Master Hong originally wanted to annex the treasures that Chen Duyan robbed, but it was a pity that I was suddenly The two who appeared took away."
"You also saw that sea battle, very good," Bai Xiaowen asked, "What about after that, did you accept any newcomers on board?"
Luo Longwen was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "There are two newcomers on board. These two people seem to have fallen from the sky, and they can't find their roots... But, they are very powerful. Master killed several fierce generals under Ye Mazi's command, so he must be reused."
