Chapter 930

How could six perfectly fine companions, one of whom was even a Peerless-level expert, just quietly fall at that Shinto shrine?

Thinking that he was the seventh person, how could Tang Du stay?

He immediately disguised himself as a wandering You Dongying samurai.

Then he hid here and there, deliberately hiding in this brothel.

Having lived in fear until today, he finally saw a familiar person again—the old man (General Chilaowen).

Although Tang Du was not familiar with General Chilaowen, he had heard people mention him.

Although this old man was almost like a lone traveler, his strength was not bad; at the very least, he was above the Peerless level, and he might even be at the Land Celestial Realm.

That was why Tang Du risked exposing his identity to come and seek help from General Chilaowen.

After hearing his story, General Chilaowen couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

These Great Ming martial artists were truly both base and useless!

Seeing that this wasn't the You Dongying of the Nine Provinces, they thought about robbing and plundering.

Then they picked a Shinto shrine that looked like a soft persimmon but was actually a trap, and trapped themselves in it.

One Profound-level martial art, two hundred-year-old spiritual medicines?

If these few things could attract them, one could tell what kind of goods they were.

Yet just like that, something went wrong, and in the end, they were hoping for him to save them?

On what grounds?

Am I very familiar with you?

General Chilaowen naturally didn't want to cause more trouble, so he prepared to politely refuse.

Tang Du clearly didn't know that General Chilaowen was prepared to stand by and watch him die.

He was still rambling on, saying,

"Actually, this damn place is really evil.

I remember very clearly that after us, another group of five people came.

After they arrived, knowing that this was You Dongying, they thought about crossing the sea to the Central Plains.

They felt that in a backwater like You Dongying, what good treasures could there be?

And the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom was also mostly in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the few of them rented a boat and went out to sea.

Seven days later, unexpectedly, the boat returned; most of the people on the boat were dead, and only one person had gone mad."

What?

General Chilaowen was shocked upon hearing this!

He remembered his own experience of drifting on the vast sea, not knowing how many days it had been, always going around in circles.

Could it be that those few people who went out to sea also ran into a maze formation?

Then why did most of them die, with only one person left alive?

"Seeing them like this, we naturally gave up the idea of going to the Central Plains.

We just stayed here in You Dongying and set our sights on these natives."

Tang Du didn't look at General Chilaowen's expression and continued.

General Chilaowen was truly curious now and couldn't help but ask,

"Then is there no way to go to the Central Plains?"

He felt it was very strange, since Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami mistakenly thought he was sent by some Divine Marquis of the Central Plains.

Nian Duan Nian Duan Tianya was also clearly from the Central Plains, appearing here in You Dongying to learn arts.

Putting the two things together, it clearly meant that the Central Plains and You Dongying were connected.

How come when it came to him, it was just running into a maze formation in the sky and spinning around?

When it came to the few people Tang Du mentioned, most of them died, and the only one left had gone mad.

What kind of hidden story was there in this?

Tang Du listened to General Chilaowen's question and couldn't help but ponder for a while before saying,

"Actually, I also heard it from someone; it seems that as long as one is identified as an evil heretic by that Shinto shrine outside the city, they will definitely lose their way at sea.

The most serious outcome is death!"

728 It really is different from the Central Plains!

What the hell?

If the Shinto shrine identifies someone as an evil heretic, that person can't go out to sea?

That awesome?

General Chilaowen was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

But then he thought, could it be that this kid Tang Du knew his strength was higher than theirs?

Did he deliberately find an excuse to lure him to the Shinto shrine and then drag him into their dispute?

Thinking of this possibility, General Chilaowen remained calm on the surface.

In order not to make Tang Du suspicious, he deliberately said a few words about how the Shinto shrine was this and that.

Then he patted Tang Du on the shoulder and said,

"Rest assured, if that Shinto shrine really wants to kill you, as long as I am here, they will never succeed."

The implication was that he, General Chilaowen, wouldn't be protecting you every single moment.

But Tang Du had been living in fear, hiding here and there for so many days.

His spirit was highly tense, and he was already like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

Hearing General Chilaowen say this now, although it didn't fully guarantee his safety,

Tang Du was still moved to tears, grabbing General Chilaowen's hand and thanking him,

"To be able to get a word from the old gentleman, Tang Du is relieved."

Tang Du then dug into his own pocket, invited a few You Dongying beauties in, pointed at General Chilaowen, and said to these You Dongying beauties,

"This gentleman is like my second parent; you must use all your skills to entertain this old gentleman well."

In his excitement, Tang Du was generous with his money.

These You Dongying beauties naturally had an extremely good attitude and scrambled to surround General Chilaowen.

General Chilaowen was in a state of intoxication, saying,

"Brother Tang has a good heart."

As he spoke, he deliberately touched them here and there; these You Dongying beauties also giggled and responded constantly.

Seeing this, Tang Du immediately and tactfully exited the room.

For a time, the room was filled with spring scenery.

After a long time, General Chilaowen was satisfied and climbed up from the pile of You Dongying beauties.

Then he chatted with these You Dongying beauties, one sentence after another.

Suddenly, General Chilaowen asked,

"You said your brother works on a merchant ship?"

This was a petite and outgoing You Dongying beauty.

She had been the most proactive just now.

During the idle chat, she was also the one who spoke the most.

She had also roughly mentioned her family situation.

"Yes! That merchant ship isn't a fishing boat, it belongs to the Daoji family!"

"The Daoji family? Isn't that the one that trades with the Central Plains?"

"Wow! Keiko, is what you said true? Does your brother really work for the Daoji family?"

This beauty's words aroused the envy of the other beauties.

For a time, this beauty whose brother worked for the Daoji family felt her vanity greatly satisfied.

She held her head high and said,

"That's right! Do I need to lie to you?"

As she spoke, she snuggled up to General Chilaowen again and said,

"Besides, I wouldn't lie to you, sir, even if I lied to anyone else."
