Chapter 877: Chapter 360: Farewell to Situ
Large ships, wealth, secret manuals, women.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance; it all sounded familiar.
Although there were the two additional elements, it inevitably reminded one of the Store Manager.
Moreover, this ship traveled from Donghuang to Nanhai, which was also in line.
Only Su Mo did not quite understand if the owner of this ship was indeed the Store Manager.
Why make such a fuss?
What benefit is there for him to spread such information?
Su Mo’s mind was moved, but he showed no sign of it, merely smiling and saying:
“Oh? Such rumors, aren’t there many at sea?
“Large ships, treasure maps, ghost ships, and the like.
“Moreover, on certain islands as well, it’s all the same things…
“However, genuinely seeing them, few might have.”
“Indeed, you have a discerning eye.”
The man spoke honestly, his words polite:
“Such rumors are certainly not to be trusted, but in the Jianghu, there are always many who seek pleasure.
“If they truly encountered it, they definitely wouldn’t pass it by.
“And, compared to those islands hidden who knows where.
“This ship indeed appeared before people’s eyes.
“It’s said that this ship’s first stop from Donghuang to Nanhai was Three Heroes Island.
“After staying there for two days, it set sail again.
“Also, from that moment on, news about this ship began to spread in Nanhai.
“Many experts have followed its trail.
“However, the ship must harbor danger.
“None of those who went seeking the ship have returned.”
“Moreover…”
The woman added: “This ship appears and disappears without a trace, extremely familiar with the sea routes. Like the Divine Dragon, seen but not captured, people in Jianghu often hear of it to the east in the morning, but by evening, it’s a thousand miles away.
“Consequently, all sorts of rumors spread like Capturing Wind and Shadow.
“It’s hard to distinguish truth from falsehood…
“So, although those seeking it have increased, they wander like headless flies, causing chaos in Nanhai.
“Instead, it has added waves upon the sea.”
Su Mo nodded lightly, casually asking: “Anything else?”
“Well…”
With this big ship as the conversation starter, the two of them meticulously recounted a whole mess of rumors to Su Mo.
Some they had personally experienced, others merely hearsay.
From these rumors, Su Mo also gleaned some other traces of information about Nanhai.
The ocean is vast and boundaryless, and there are robbers upon it as well.
Those on mountains are called mountain bandits, those on the sea are pirates.
However, pirates are different from mountain bandits; mountain bandits have bases, pirates only have ships.
Wherever the ship goes, that’s where their base is.
Moreover, there are ties and rules among these pirates.
When pirates meet, there are often clashes and struggles between them.
After all, on the boundless ocean, if they do run into each other, black seas won against black seas, and a feast after defeating the opposition is common.
Finally, sink the ship, and no one knows what happened there.
Thus, some who rob at sea simply vanish.
Others make a fortune and disappear in silence.
This is all quite normal.
And in Nanhai, pirates inherently represent certain interests.
Therefore, there were once great thieves who wanted to unify all the bandits in Nanhai.
To become the Pirate King.
But ultimately, they failed.
Regarding this point, the young man specifically mentioned the commotion back then was significant.
But ended in a miserable failure.
Besides, the forces at sea are as complex and intertwined as those on land.
In addition to ties of interest, many islands also have familial bonds among them.
In short, it’s quite chaotic.
Chaotic matters are naturally hard to explain clearly, even speaking about them would lack order.
Su Mo wasn’t particularly worried about this, so he let them stay at the Ziyang Escort Agency and take their time writing these things down.
Their faces turned a bit pale at these words.
“Are you… are you going to detain us?”
The woman asked in a low voice.
Su Mo waved his hand: “What are you talking about? I, Su, have a sterling reputation in the Jianghu, how could I detain people for no reason?
“It’s just that you’ve made a scene here, and there must be a resolution, right?
“Besides… you broke the chairs, surely they must be compensated?”
“Chairs?”
Both of them glanced at the chairs lying broken on the ground, momentarily at a loss for words.
How much could those be worth?
Immediately, the young man was about to take out money, but seeing this, Su Mo shook his head:
“To be honest, these two chairs are said to be antiques, rumored to have been royal tributes from the Da Xuan Dynasty.
“Now, even with money, they can’t be bought.”
“…”
He was speaking off the cuff!
The young man nearly choked with anger, but regardless of disbelief or anger, he dared not show it.
“But rest assured, I don’t want your money either.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “I, Su Mo, have always been tolerant of friends in the Jianghu. Although these two chairs are worth Ten Thousand Gold, as long as the two of you write down everything you know about Nanhai, this account can be squared away.
“However, until it’s written down, the two of you should stay here at the Ziyang Escort Agency for now.”
Upon hearing this, the two had no choice but to nod.
