Chapter 772: Chart 18
Mu Chen seemed to have known Zhao Yuan's doubts, and then said: "Dongchang has been peeking at my Sword Sect for a long time, and there are even disciples in this Sword Sect who deliberately arranged it and then deliberately contacted the Japanese pirates. The purpose is to inflict a crime, just to make the Sword Sect accused of having an affair with the Japanese pirates. And once this crime is implemented, the Dongchang men will not be able to give us any chance to explain!"
Zhao Yuan was surprised and said, "What do you mean is that Dongchang has already planned to deal with you?"
But when I thought about it in a blink of an eye, I said in surprise: "How did General Qi know about this?"
You have to know that he had arrived here because Qi Jiguang had just informed him. He calculated that he had learned the news at least twenty days in advance. Could it be that the news in the East Factory had been leaked?
Mu Chen said: "It was what I said to him!"
Zhao Yuan was stunned and said, "Is it senior?"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "It's only a matter of time before the East Factory dealt with the Sword Sect. The reason why you came here is that it was also dealing with my Sword Sect on the surface, but in fact, it was also to sign the Dong Factory on the other hand. At least with you, you can't be so presumptuous in your work."
Zhao Yuan never expected that he had come to Mu Chen's purpose, and he did not expect that he invited him to come not to help the boxing, but to attack his sword sect with Dongchang.
Mu Chen said: "The purpose time of the East Factory is this sea chart. The island recorded on this sea chart is called Tianxian Island. It is said that there are immortals who practice Taoism and become immortals on it!"
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then Dongchang tried every means to get this nautical chart, just to get this map and then offer it to the current emperor?"
Nowadays, the emperor likes to practice Taoism, which is well known to all civil and military officials in the court. The purpose of his practice is to become an immortal? If he can find an immortal who can become an immortal for him, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?
But the Sword Sect is considered a decent local sect after all. Even though he knew that Mu Chen had this chart in his hand, the East Factory was not able to rashly go and rob, so he could only think of other ways, and framed up was nothing more than the best way.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's exactly!"
Zhao Yuan said: "If the East Factory wants it, just give it to them. There is no need to take the lives of so many people in your Sword Sect for a mere naval chart!"
At least Zhao Yuan thought so, just give this chart to Dongchang. Since they wanted it, then give it to them. So whether they could reach Tianxian Island was their business.
Mu Chen said: "Although that's the case, there are indeed people on this Tianxian Island. However, these are not immortals who have achieved enlightenment and become immortals. They went to sea to escape from war and then settled down there. Their number is about four or five hundred, and they have been living a life of peace and stability. The island is relatively hidden, and even the Japanese pirates have not discovered it! If the Dongchang got this chart, then they would definitely organize their troops to go there. Once they arrived here, they would find that this was not an island where overseas immortals lived, and there were no masters. Then for the people on the island, that incident was a disaster!"
Mu Chen's words were definitely not exaggeration. If the people from Dongchang went there and arrived, they found that this place was not the place where the legendary immortals lived, and the people living here were just a group of ordinary people. They had already boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, so there was no way to go back to pay the job. Fortunately, for them, it was naturally impossible for people to know that they had worked hard to find the Tianxian Island, but there was no immortal at all. So the best way was to kill people to silence them!
These people have been living overseas for many years. How could they be opponents of Dongchang? For them, it will naturally be a disaster.
Zhao Yuan figured this out and understood what Mu Chen said, "Since that's the case, why not destroy this chart?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I destroy this chart, can the Dongchang men believe the characters?"
When he asked, Zhao Yuan asked, then. Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I really won't believe it!"
This chart was originally in Mu Chen's hands. Now Mu Chen told those Dongchang men that the chart had been destroyed. How could the people from Dongchang believe it? They only think that this was just Mu Chen's refusal, and the purpose was not to give the chart to themselves and others. Of course, even if they saw the chart in front of them, they would think that Mu Chen had already had a copy of it. This so-called destruction in person is just a cover-up. As long as there is a copy, it is the same or not. There is no difference.
In this way, no matter how Mu Chen dealt with this chart, the East Factory would never let go. Even if they got the chart, they would never let the Sword Sect go. After all, the only one who can reach Tianxian Island is their East Factory, and there can be no one else. This is probably the so-called crime of possessing a treasure.
Zhao Yuan still knew the style of Dongchang quite well. He nodded and said, "I really won't believe it!"
Mu Chen said: "So for me, there is no other way now. Since the Sword Sect got the chart, it was destined that the chart would bring tragedy!"
Speaking of this, Mu Chen was somewhat helpless.
After a moment of pause, Mu Chen continued: "Now they think I have left with the chart, so they will not doubt that you are coming up with your head."
Zhao Yuan looked at the chart in front of him, but it was not very useful to hold the chart himself.
Seeing this, Xie Yunlou seemed to understand Zhao Yuan's meaning and said, "I think your first place to settle down is on Tianxian Island."
Zhao Yuan was shocked and said, "What does senior thank you mean?"
Xie Yunlou said: "It's what you think!"
What I mean in my mind is that after leaving, I have to find a place to stay. After all, the sea is so big, and the supplies I can bring on the boat are very limited. We can't always float on the sea. Where to stay is the most critical thing.
Now Xie Yun’s meaning is very obvious, that is, he will be the first place to settle down on Tianxian Island, so Mu Chen chose to hand over the map of Tianxian Island to himself.
Zhao Yuan was suddenly moved, bowed to Mu Chen and said, "Thank you, senior!"
Xie Yunlou said, "Don't rush to thank you. We actually have some hearsay about the information about Tianxian Island. Whether it is just like the information is said, we don't know whether the people on the island are kind and willing to accept you or something. Maybe there are many dangers hidden in it. Besides this, you have only half of the map you get now. You can't reach Tianxian Island with this map alone. There must be another one."
Zhao Yuan said: "One other?"
Xie Yunlou nodded and said, "Yes, do you still remember the fact that you were looking for Zhu Yunwen's treasure?"
Zhao Yuan said: "I remember that Zhu Yunwen's subordinates were ordered to bury the jewelry stolen from the palace and hid it, waiting to come and open it later, so they hid the treasure hiding place in the ten "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Only by collecting ten paintings can we find the accurate treasure hiding point!"
Xie Yunlou said: "This is the meaning of this sea chart. There are two sea charts in total. This is just one of them. If you go according to the sea chart above, you will only be lost on the sea and then finally be trapped and died! In addition, the same is true for the other one. If you want to reach the real Tianxian Island, only two sea charts are combined into one can you find the location of the real Tianxian Island. Now you only get one of them, so you must find a way to find another one, which will be helpful."
Zhao Yuan asked hurriedly: "I wonder if you have another chart, please know where the other chart is?"
Xie Yunlou said: "According to reliable information, another map was taken away by a soldier. As for where he went, I don't know!"
Zhao Yuan was suddenly disappointed. It seemed that it was not easy, but it was actually very difficult. In such a vast crowd, where can I find another chart?
However, the two of them were for their own sake, and they had to accept their feelings. So Zhao Yuan said: "Thank you, two seniors, for your advice. I will arrange for someone to go and find another half of the chart!"
Xie Yunlou said, "Remember to not make a statement about this matter. Otherwise, if the Dongchang scholar knew about this, they would definitely find a way to deal with you. Moreover, the priest is addicted to practicing Taoism now. No matter how great you have made before, it is more important to not be able to become an immortal in his eyes!"
There is a saying that being with the king is like being with the tiger. Zhao Yuan did have made great contributions before, but in Zhu Houcong's eyes, this contribution is not as important as becoming an immortal. If Zhao Yuan handed over this map and the court sent people to him, he would not be able to reach Tianxian Island with just a chart. If he loses his troops and generals, he would definitely think that Zhao Yuan gave him a fake map. The charge was to deceive the emperor. Deceiving the emperor is a death sentence. So what if he has made great contributions? The court has made great contributions and is still executed in the end. For example, Yu Qian, if Yu Qian had not turned the tide, the entire capital had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but in the end, Yu Qian was still harmed by a traitor? For example, Xia Yan was not a first-rank official, but ended up in a very miserable end.
For the emperor, if it really touches his interests, no contribution is worth mentioning.
But if you don’t hand over the map, then you will be disrespectful, which is also a death sentence! In other words, the map is now a hot potato. If it is leaked, it will still be a disaster for the Iron Blood Sect, just like the Sword Sect.
After understanding the problem, Zhao Yuan was wrong and refused to give up his idea of using Zuiyu Pavilion to collect information. This is a very small matter. If anyone else knows something, the consequences will be like a disaster.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but burst into cold sweat and said, "Thank you for your reminder, otherwise, I have made a big mistake without realizing it!"
Xie Yunlou said: "This is nothing. If you can find the best, even if you can't find it, Tianxian Island is not the only place to stay. I will arrange people at that time, so you don't have to worry!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine pot and said, "Okay, I'll just say anything else that should be said. It's rare to get together, so drink two glasses first!"
Zhao Yuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Then I will first respect you two seniors. There are many offensive things. Please forgive me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he would do it first. Xie Yunlou and Mu Chen were not polite. They drank their own wine together and put down the wine glass in their hands. Mu Chen then said, "I have heard of your name. I heard that you master Xiaoyaozi and Eagle King, but the sword technique you used was not the proud skill of both of them! And you have strong internal strength, so how can you have such internal strength at such an age?"
This is exactly what Mu Chen was confused about. He had fought with him before. Zhao Yuan used a sword. The sword technique was agile and the sword was of extraordinary quality. He knew Xiaoyaozi and the Blood Eagle King. The two of them had a hard and soft skill. They could say that they were good at but they didn't have sword skills. In addition, his internal strength was also very strange. He said that his master was stronger than the Blood Eagle King. But he said that he was feminine, but he was stronger than Xiaoyaozi.
Moreover, he looks so young now that his internal strength is comparable to his own, which is something he cannot understand at all.
Xie Yunlou next to him laughed and said, "This Blood Eagle King and Xiaoyaozi are indeed good at being a master, but his internal skills have nothing to do with the two of them. The reason why he can achieve such success today has a lot to do with another person, but unfortunately, that person is no longer in the world."
Mu Chen said in confusion: "Who is the person you are talking about?"
Xie Yunlou said: "Evil Lord Zhuge Tian!"
Mu Chen took a breath of cold air and then sighed: "It is said that famous teachers produce great disciples. Now it seems that this is true. I didn't expect that your master is actually the famous Zhuge Tian, which is really surprising."
Xie Yunlou said: "What a pity, Zhuge Tian has been dead for many years, and there is no evil king in the world!"
As if he was very touched by his words, Xie Yunlou picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Mu Chen said: "It is said that the Yangtze River is the next wave and the previous wave is the old one. You and I are old. This world is no longer our world."
