Eternal Sword

Chapter 283 Things are different now
Judging from the appearance of this cargo ship, the weapons it is transporting are probably not just a few.

What does this girl do at home?

Have an army to equip?
Are the Dongyi people good at casting weapons?
Chen Tang was thoughtful, and felt a little moved when he thought of the dragon skin on his back.

"Can this ship go to Nanxia?"

Chen Tang suddenly asked.

Shen Yu hesitated and said, "We have to wait here for about twenty days. Once the weapons are forged and loaded onto the ship, we will return to Tianhu Island. As for Nanxia, ​​I can talk to my father about it."

From Shen Yu's tone, Chen Tang knew that he definitely couldn't go.

He clasped his fists and said, "If the young lady has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

Chen Tang planned to first find a craftsman in the nearby Qianzhu City to make this dragon skin into a piece of armor.

This way, there is an extra layer of protection.

Find another opportunity to take a boat to leave this place and head to Nanxia.

"Eh!"

Shen Yu said quickly, "No, there is definitely no ship from Hermit Island to Nanxia. Besides, you are from Shenzhou, even if Hermit Island has a ship going out to sea, it is impossible for you to go on it."

"If you stay with me and perform some great deeds, I will have the confidence to ask my father to send you to sea or something like that."

Chen Tang asked: "What do I have to do to stay by your side?"

Shen Yu said: "Let me tell you briefly. Ever since the ruler of Tianhuzhou died suddenly decades ago, Tianhuzhou has been plunged into chaos. The major military rulers have divided the country and wars have continued. After years of conquest, there are only four major countries left, headed by the military rulers."

"My father is the military commander of Sichuan West."

"I have fought so hard to get this opportunity. If I can escort this batch of weapons and armor back safely, it will be a great achievement."

According to Shen Yu, Tianhu Continent and Hermit Continent are different.

Tianhuzhou was originally under the management of the island master.

After the sudden death of the ruler of the continent, China fell into an era similar to that of warlords fighting for power.

The leaders of the four major countries are not emperors or kings, but military commanders.

Of course, even if Chen Tang has cultivated to the fifth level, his strength is still insignificant in national confrontations and military conquests.

What's more, he had just been freed from the court and was somewhat resistant to such things.

"I'm not interested in this, sorry."

Chen Tang shook his head slightly, unwilling to get involved in such matters.

He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid any trouble and go to Nanxia.

"Oh……"

Shen Yu seemed a little disappointed.

Xiao Pu snorted lightly and couldn't help but sneered: "My young lady just helped you solve your troubles and provided you with food and clothing, but now she turns around and doesn't recognize you, haha."

"Xiaopu!"

Shen Yu frowned and quickly spoke out to stop him.

She smiled apologetically and said, "Xiao Pu is outspoken, please don't take it to heart. Since I want to make friends, these food and clothes are nothing. This is the way to entertain guests."

Chen Tang glanced at the clothes on his body.

The two of them just met by chance, and he really didn't want to owe anyone any favors.

Chen Tang suddenly asked, "Miss Shen, since you are the daughter of the military commander of Western Sichuan, and you are here to transport weapons and armor to Hermit Continent, will there be a hermit who will come to assassinate you?"

When this matter was mentioned, Yin Da and Xiao Pu instantly became alert, stepped forward and blocked Shen Yu behind them.

"Maybe."

Shen Yu said: "As long as someone posts a bounty mission in the Shadow Building and the bounty is high enough, there will be hermits targeting me."

"You guys come with me."

Chen Tang said this and headed down the boat.

Shen Yu and the other two were a little confused, but they followed anyway.

Not long after, Chen Tang and his three companions arrived at the first floor of the cabin. At this moment, many workers were carrying boxes of goods from the cabin to the port.

There was a faint herbal scent coming from these cargo boxes.

Chen Tang's eyes fell on a limping fellow in the distance and he asked softly, "Do you know this man?" "This is Ah Fu."

Xiao Pu said: "I have worked on the cargo ship for several years, so I am considered an old man."

Chen Tang asked again: "Is his leg lame?"

Xiao Pu said: "That's not the case. I heard that it happened on the day we arrived at the port. It seems that the ship was accidentally hit when it was docked."

While the three were talking, Ah Fu was already limping towards the cabin.

Xiao Pu took two steps forward, stopped him, and frowned, "Ah Fu, why don't you take a rest when you are injured? You are not the only one who matters."

Ah Fu smiled shyly, shook his head, and said vaguely: "It's okay."

He raised his head and glanced in Shen Yu's direction. When he saw Chen Tang next to him, his expression didn't change, but a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Ah Fu quickly lowered his head again, avoiding Chen Tang's gaze.

"What, you don't recognize me?"

Chen Tang walked towards Ah Fu and asked with a smile.

When he saw this person on the top of the boat just now, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

Although this man's appearance has changed, his walking posture and many details are exactly the same as the assassin who attacked him in Wu'an County!
He almost got caught in that assassination attempt!

Therefore, he was deeply impressed by this assassin.

Even though this person did not appear for a period of time afterwards.

Of course, Chen Tang was not absolutely sure.

It was not until he noticed the astonishment in this person's eyes that he was truly sure!
Ah Fu pretended not to hear and was about to turn around.

Chen Tang's eyes lit up, he took a step forward and grabbed Ah Fu's shoulder!

Ah Fu turned around and faced Chen Tang with his back.

Just when Chen Tang's big hand was about to fall on his shoulder, a cold light suddenly burst out from under his ribs and stabbed towards Chen Tang's chest, extremely concealed!

"Humph!"

Chen Tang did not dodge or evade, and his attack speed even increased a bit. He grabbed Ah Fu's shoulders first, and used the Dragon-Catching Skill to lock the joints of his shoulders, then lifted Ah Fu up!
Ah Fu felt pain and was unable to use any strength. The cold light under his ribs fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a sharp dagger.

Chen Tang grabbed Ah Fu's shoulders and collarbones and shook his wrist lightly.

Crackling!

There was a strange sound coming from Ah Fu's body, as if all the bones in his body were falling apart after shaking like that.

Chen Tang threw the limp Ah Fu to the ground with a flick of his hand.

"This……"

The incident happened suddenly, and before Shen Yu and the other two could react, it was already over.

When Yin Da saw the short knife that fell at Ah Fu's feet, his expression changed and he whispered, "This is the hidden knife!"

There are many kinds of weapons for hermits, and the hidden knife is one of them. They are of different lengths, extremely sharp, and have the hermit's special mark.

"He's not Ah Fu!"

Shen Yu saw something and said, "He has a human skin mask on his face."

Yin Da stepped forward, stepped on Ah Fu's chest, rubbed his cheeks a few times, and then tore off a human skin mask, revealing the man's original appearance.

"Who sent you!"

Yin Da stared at the man and shouted.

This person said nothing, but just stared at Chen Tang.

As a hermit, one should not have too much emotional fluctuation.

But at this moment, a deep sense of unwillingness and shock still surged in his heart.

In fact, when he just saw Chen Tang and was shocked, he realized that he was exposed.

He never expected to meet this person here.

What he didn't expect was that more than half a year ago, he almost killed this man.

But now, he was in this man's hands and couldn't even survive a single move!
Things are different now. This person has actually cultivated such strength!
