Chapter 12 World Conditions
Xiao Yun and Du Yuan each held a mattress and walked along the cabin to a dilapidated wooden door.
"It's this room." Du Yuan glanced at the wooden door and whispered to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun nodded, stretched out a hand to push the wooden door, which opened. Suddenly, a strong smell came from the room. He sucked the smell into his nose without any hesitation, and his mind immediately "buzzed" and almost smothered him to death. He quickly covered his nose with his hands. He looked at Du Yuan behind him, but found that he had covered his nose long ago.
The smell in the room was like a musty smell and fishy smell, which was very strange. Xiao Yun frowned. Is this what a person lives in? This is the room that the fat man gave him?! Suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Du Yuan with his inquiring eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yun covering his nose and looking at him, Du Yuan looked back apologetically.
Xiao Yun suddenly became furious, damn! He was actually fooled by that fat man! But it was too late to say anything now, and he was just a new arrival again, so how could he treat that fat man?
There was no way, the two of them forced to enter the house with a odor.
The house is not big, about ten square meters, with only a wooden bed inside, not even a chair, and wood debris lying all over the floor.
They put the mattress on the bed and looked at the messy room. Du Yuan looked at Xiao Yun with some apology: "Brother, I'm sorry, this house was originally filled with strange objects. Over time, the house was full of strange smell and would not dissipate for a while. I don't know why the boss asked you to live in this place... Otherwise, you can live in my room. My bed is big, and we can still sleep with both of us."
"It's okay, Brother Du, I'm very satisfied with living in a place." Xiao Yun knew that it was not about Du Yuan's business, it was all about the fat man's idea. Besides, if Du Yuan hadn't helped him, it wouldn't be sure whether he could get on the boat. He had only gratitude for Du Yuan.
"Okay, you can clean up first. After a while, I'll add a set of tables and chairs to you. Well, I have to go back to patrol first. If you have any more needs, go find me." Du Yuan saw that Xiao Yun did not agree to him and stopped persuading him.
"Okay." Xiao Yun nodded.
Du Yuan patted his shoulder and walked out. Xiao Yun looked at Du Yuan's disappearing back and sighed inwardly. He originally wanted to ask about the situation in the mainland, but now there is no time.
When he came to his senses, he looked at the messy room and smelled the strange smell in the air, and frowned. Does this fat man have a grudge against him?
You don’t have to think that this room was arranged on purpose by a fat man. Damn, I didn’t offend him, why did I have to fight with me? Damn! Don’t let me find opportunities in the future, otherwise...hehe!
He couldn't help but sneer. He had to be responsible for the consequences of what he did. The fat man teased himself like this this time, so he should be prepared to accept revenge.
He took a deep breath and began to clean up the room.
......
On the third floor of the giant ship, in a luxurious room.
The fat boss sat in the main seat, and the old man with a dark face sat next to him. In front of them was a coffee table, and next to the coffee table was a white-bearded old man wearing a housekeeper's clothes and a middle-aged man stood.
"How is the investigation?" the fat boss asked casually, holding a cup of tea from the coffee table and taking a sip.
When the white-bearded old man heard the fat boss' question, he bowed and replied: "The results of the investigation are basically consistent with what he said. We found some broken wood pieces in the nearby waters. It seems that they were damaged in an accident. In addition, there is indeed an occasional storm in the nearby waters, which can basically determine the basic truth he said."
The fat boss nodded slightly: "So, what he said is true." He didn't care. He didn't care about a person who had no martial arts at all, but just checked it carefully.
The middle-aged man suddenly shouted in a thick voice: "What's the point of being so troublesome? Isn't it just a slut? Just kill him! I'll just..."
"What are you doing?" The old man with a slightly lowered head suddenly raised his head and stared at him. The middle-aged man felt his whole body tremble, and he immediately swallowed the words behind him. The middle-aged man knew very well and was very afraid of the old man's methods.
"How are the two missing guards looking into it?" The fat boss changed the topic and asked at the white-bearded old man.
The old white-bearded man looked strange and replied, "I sent someone to search the island, but I found no trace of them. Could it be..." Although the old white-bearded man guessed something, he could not say it directly.
"Well? Are you doing it by yourself?" The fat boss narrowed his eyes for a while and said to the middle-aged man: "Captain Bear is responsible for monitoring everyone on the ship."
"Okay. Don't let me find out who did it, hum, or..." the middle-aged man said fiercely.
"Well, let's stop here." After thinking for a while, the fat boss turned his head and looked at the old man with a gloomy face and asked respectfully: "Old Chen, I'll reach a dangerous area after a while. Do you think we will be in trouble?"
"Boss Sun doesn't have to take it seriously. I have everything. Those little thieves can't make a big fuss." The old man with a dark face picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said indifferently.
"Haha, I just asked casually. Of course, there is no need to worry about anything with Mr. Chen." The fat boss said with a smile, not as if he was unhappy because of the arrogant attitude of the old man in the face of his face.
At noon, the sun was hanging high and the water on the ocean was surging.
This is the highest temperature in the day. If you stay outside for a while, your whole body will be so hot. At this time, the guards on the giant ship, except for some who have to stay at their posts, returned to their rooms.
In Du Yuan's room.
Du Yuan, Xiao Yun, Xiao Wu, Daqiang and other familiar people sat together. There was some food on the wooden table in front of them, and a cup was placed in front of each of them. Today they all brought their lunch and gathered together to prepare for some drink.
Du Yuan was shirtless, holding a wine jar in both hands, pouring wine into everyone's glasses.
Xiao Yun's eyes shone brightly. He hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time. At this time, he saw the wine, and the wine worms in his stomach were squirming uncontrollably. Du Yuan poured it on everyone and put it down the wine jar.
"Come on, I've added another new brother to us today, cheers!" Several people shouted and raised their respective wine glasses to dry together, and drank them down. Xiao Yun felt a spicy feeling flowing into his stomach along his mouth, which was extremely comfortable.
"Brother Du, what kind of wine is this?" Xiao Yun couldn't help asking.
"This is a burning knife, how about it? This is the wine that the big man drinks, and most people can't afford it. Can you do it in your body? Hahahaha." Du Yuan said, and Xiaowu and others also started to cheer.
When Xiao Yun heard this, he was happy. He might not be able to say anything else, but he was famous for "not drunk for a thousand cups", which was comparable to the old man. The stolen knife was only about twenty degrees in his previous life, and it was no problem for him to drink two or three jars. Thinking of this, he also followed everyone to cheer: "Okay, let's have a good time today. If we drink a small cup, how about we change to a big bowl?"
"Good! Anyway, I don't have my task today, so don't be afraid of getting drunk, change to a big bowl!" Daqiang immediately shouted. Although he was a little silly in the guards, he was the best drinker.
Du Yuan and others also agreed. After changing to a big bowl, everyone started to do it one by one. After a while, several guards, including Xiao Wu, were already confused. Du Yuan and Daqiang were also a little dizzy, but Xiao Yun was still blushing and gasping, which made everyone admire him.
"Brother Du, my family and I have been drifting away all year round. I don't know what the situation in the mainland is. Please explain it to me first." Everyone had almost finished drinking, and Xiao Yun finally asked the questions he wanted to ask. His eyes looked at Du Yuan casually, but he was very nervous.
"The situation in the mainland?" Du Yuan said in confusion.
"Uh--it's the situation between the court and the world." Xiao Yun remembered that there might not be a mainland concept yet, so he quickly explained.
Du Yuan thought for a while, took a sip of wine, sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Since defeating the Yuan Dynasty and becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has established the Dongchang, Jinyiwei and other corps institutions, which have urgent domestic forms and unjust cases have occurred frequently. Although people's lives have improved a lot since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they are very unstable. As long as the people who provoke Dongchang Jinyiwei, no matter whether they are right or wrong, they are sent to the prison and have never come out. Some are unjustly killed in prison, and some are dragged into the army to the border as cannon fodder."
Xiao Wu and others nodded one after another.
When Xiao Yun heard this, he sighed in his heart, and he didn't expect that he had come to the Ming Dynasty.
Du Yuan picked up the bowl on the table, took another sip of wine, and continued, "As for the world, Gengshi was in chaos." Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Xiao Yunqi and said, "I said brother, what are you asking about the world? Brother, I have to persuade you that you are not from the world, don't cause trouble in the world. People like you, can get the best exam, and it doesn't matter if you don't work. Isn't it better to find a place to live a peaceful life!"
Among the few people, except Xiaowu and Daqiang, they were already crawling on the table drunk. Xiaowu was also confused with his eyes. At this time, he immediately agreed when he heard Du Yuan's words: "Yes...yes...yes, An An...isn't it better..." As he said that, he fell into Daqiang's arms.
"That's right, that's right." Daqiang also smiled silly.
"Haha, who said I don't know how to be a martial arts? Actually, I have a good martial arts skills?" Xiao Yun smiled casually. Daqiang ignored him. He seemed that Xiao Yun was bragging.
Du Yuan smiled and didn't care. He had also seen Xiao Yun holding a big knife. It was Xiao Yun who thought he was living on an isolated island and just used it to chop a few animals. But looking at Xiao Yun's serious face, he no longer persuaded him.
Looking at the vast blue sky outside the window, Du Yuan sighed, "I'll tell you about the world. It can be said that the world is even more chaotic than the court. Decades ago, a genius appeared in the world. As soon as he debuted, his martial arts shocked the world. At that time, he swept the entire martial arts world with his powerful martial arts skills, and no one was his opponent. In the last ten years, there was no one who could be his hundred rounds, and the whole world was in peace."
"...... Until more than ten years ago, for some reason, the man retreated to the world and there was no news since then. Alas, since then, the entire Central Plains martial arts world has been in a slump, especially the White Dao Martial Arts world, which has been greatly damaged and has not recovered its vitality yet. Who would have thought that the weakness of the White Dao Martial Arts world has given the opportunity to develop the underworld. The sects of the underworld were established at that time. Especially in recent years, the power of the underworld has increased day by day."
"Which force is the most powerful now? Which top experts are there in the world?" Du Yuan's words made Xiao Yun's heart ripples, and he was even more yearning for that genius.
Du Yuan shook his head and sighed, and said, "If you want to say that the most famous forces in the world today are the three major underworld forces in the Central Plains. They are: the Angry Dragon Gang, Zunxin Gang and Ganluo Mountain City. The Angry Dragon Gang has waves and clouds, Zun..."
