Zhong Xiu in order to will soon see Shi Mu, has not thought regarding the request that Xu Luzi set, readily agreed. 钟秀为了能够早日见到石牧,对于徐鲁子提出的这个要求并未多想,一口答应了下来。 Afterward then some people bring Zhong Xiu to arrive at a dwelling of chamber of commerce, settles. 随后便有人带钟秀来到一处商会的住处,安顿下来。 Zhong Xiu after awaiting calmly a period of time, then boards a desert great boat under the arrangement of Heavenly Wu Merchant Association, stepped journey that goes to Western Continent. 钟秀在静候了一段时日后,便在天吴商会的安排下登上一艘瀚海巨舟,踏上了前往西贺大陆的旅途。 When the great boat navigates, Zhong Xiu saw a mysterious character, by his account is President Heavenly Wu Merchant Association, and pulled out an agreement. 在巨舟航行期间,钟秀见到了一个神秘人物,据其称是天吴商会会长,并掏出了一份协议。 And agrees, item that previously Xu Luzi mentioned. 其中所约定的,正是此前徐鲁子所提及的事项。 From now on, Zhong Xiu in the somewhat muddled situation, officially becomes Heavenly Wu Merchant Association one. 自此,钟秀在有些糊里糊涂的情况下,正式成为了天吴商会的一员。 Because the opposite party whole body covers in piece of dim golden light, actually Zhong Xiu has not seen clearly this so-called association president to be long what. 由于对方周身笼罩在一片朦胧的金光之中,钟秀并没有看清这所谓的会长究竟长什么样。 „Xiu Er, you finger/refer, needs to serve for 50 years for Heavenly Wu Merchant Association, can leave?” The Shi Mu hear the narration of Zhong Xiu, knits the brows. “秀儿,你是指,需要为天吴商会服务五十年,才可以离开？”石牧听完钟秀的叙述,不禁皱了皱眉。 „Yes, only blamed me too being initially impatient, has not examined minutely.” Zhong Xiu said in a low voice. “是的,只怪我当初太心急,也未曾细察。”钟秀低声说道。 „Xiu Er, you do not need to rebuke oneself, if not to seek me, you do not need to suffer this type of hardship, in the final analysis, blames me.” Shi Mu said. “秀儿,你无需自责,若不是为了寻我,你也不必吃这种苦头,说到底,都怪我。”石牧道。 „Big Brother Shi, how this can blame you! Now I can find your my already to be very satisfied, was very happy. Perhaps is dark in has the Will of Heaven, if not for joins the chamber of commerce, perhaps your I have not known when can meet.” Zhong Xiu said. “石大哥,这怎么能怪你！现在我能够找到你我已经很满足,很开心了。也许是冥冥之中自有天意,若不是加入商会,也许你我还不知何时才能遇见了。”钟秀道。 „That said that was to this Heavenly Wu Merchant Association back influence, always made me have one type to ascertain that the airtight feeling, jokes aside, I did not feel relieved.” Shi Mu slightly hesitates, said. “话是这么说,可是对这天吴商会背后的势力,总让我有一种捉摸不透的感觉,说真的,我不太放心。”石牧略一沉吟,如此说道。 „Big Brother Shi, the chamber of commerce......” Zhong Xiu said. “石大哥,商会……”钟秀道。 „I want to buy freedom for you.” Shi Mu interrupted the Zhong Xiu words directly, said. “我想替你赎身。”石牧直接打断了钟秀的话,如此说道。 „Buys freedom?” “赎身？” Zhong Xiu slightly one startled, but immediately somewhat helpless saying: 钟秀微微一惊,但随即有些无奈的说道: „The Big Brother Shi good intention, Xiu Er understands. If possible, I want to be separated from the chamber of commerce now, leaves this right and wrong place with Big Brother Shi together, is......” “石大哥的好意,秀儿明白。如果有可能,我现在就想脱离商会,与石大哥一起离开这个是非地,可是……” „But what?” Shi Mu asked. “可是什么？”石牧问道。 „That contract does not seem to mention can leave the matter of chamber of commerce ahead of time, perhaps also only then association president can relieve the strength of contract.” Zhong Xiu shakes the head to say. “那份契约似乎并未提及可以提前离开商会之事,恐怕也只有会长本人可以解除契约之力了。”钟秀摇了摇头道。 „We look for that association president, where can find him?” Shi Mu asked. “那我们就去找那会长,哪里可以找到他？”石牧问道。 „I don't know either. According to some Senior of chamber of commerce, the association president is roams the world, the elusive person, at the meeting the person can only pass to him through the token news that the chamber of commerce bestows, but he will not necessarily respond, do not discuss whether will come. Initially when signing agreement, I remember that he has said that 50 years later the contract due day, he will appear as scheduled.” Zhong Xiu sighed lightly, said. “我也不知道。据商会的一些前辈说,会长是个浪迹天下,来无影去无踪之人,会中之人只可以通过商会所赐的令牌消息传给他,但是他却不见得会回应,更别谈是否会现身了。当初在签订协议时,我记得他说过,五十年后合约到期之日,他会如期出现。”钟秀轻叹了口气,道。 „Didn't have other methods?” A Shi Mu brow wrinkle. “就没有其他方法了吗？”石牧眉头一皱。 „Right, I thought! I once listened to an elder to mention, generally in having the artificial chamber of commerce makes the great merit, or has the important personnel appointment, when for example some people are promoted with all attendant honor for the chamber of commerce official elders, the association president will appear.” Hesitated a small little while, Zhong Xiu thought anything suddenly. “对了,我想起来了！我曾听一位长老无意间提及过,一般在有人为商会立下大功,或是有重要人事任命,比如有人荣升为商会正式长老之时,会长都会出现。”沉吟了一小会儿,钟秀蓦然想起来什么。 „Makes the great merit......” Shi Mu muttering looking pensive. “立下大功……”石牧若有所思的喃喃自语道。 „Big Brother Shi, first do not think this matter. Would the means that again bad on 50 years on, so long as can with you in the same place, the Xiu Er life also not regret.” The Zhong Xiu comfort said. “石大哥,先别想此事了。总会有办法的,再不济就等上五十年,只要能和你在一起,秀儿此生也无憾了。”钟秀安慰道。 Shi Mu hears this word, sighed, supported into Zhong Xiu the bosom. 石牧听闻此言,微叹口气,将钟秀拥入怀中。 At that moment, two people of bodies tremble, shortly by one type successful covers confidently. 那一刻,二人身躯均是一颤,顷刻间又被一种水到渠成的坦然所笼罩。 Zhong Xiu recalls two man-year youth all sorts, respective cultivation went separate ways from the initial meet afterward, until now dependence, in the heart the surging faint trace was happy. 钟秀回忆起二人年少时的种种,从当初的相遇到后来各自修炼分道扬镳,再到如今的相依,心中涌起丝丝甜蜜。 „Xiu Er, your I can arrive at the same place today, not in vain Uncle bell past commission.” Shi Mu somewhat sigh with emotion saying. “秀儿,你我今天能走到一起,也不枉钟伯父当年的嘱托了。”石牧有些感慨的说道。 „Perhaps this is the Will of Heaven...... Big Brother Shi, which no matter later you go, I follow you.” Zhong Xiu said gently. “也许这就是天意吧……石大哥,以后不管你去哪儿,我都跟着你。”钟秀轻轻地说道。 Shi Mu feels attached to touched the Zhong Xiu mild-mannered long hair, suddenly thinks a matter, opens the mouth to ask: 石牧爱怜地摸了摸钟秀柔顺的长发,忽然想到了一件事,开口问道: „Right, Xiu Er, previously I already wing crane section and matter of Dark Moon Church plot taking by force above jade slip, and asked somebody ahead of time teleportation to you, how your unexpectedly preparation?” “对了,秀儿,此前我已将翼鹤部和冥月教合谋打劫之事记在玉简之上,并且托人提前传送给你了,怎么你竟一点准备都没有？” „What did you say? Have you had long known this matter?” Zhong Xiu said in great surprise. “你说什么？你早就知道此事？”钟秀大惊道。 Shi Mu nods, that day matters that tracks Pang Yu and the others 11 told Zhong Xiu. 石牧点点头,将那日跟踪逄玉等人的事一一告诉了钟秀。 After Zhong Xiu hear, delicate eyebrows slightly pressed, some little time asked slowly: „Big Brother Shi, that **** who jade slip gave?” 钟秀听后秀眉微蹙,好一会才缓缓问道:“石大哥,那****将玉简交给何人了？” „Your trusted subordinate, should be that named young Wei.” Shi Mu thinks, returns said. “你身边的亲信,应该是那个叫做小薇的吧。”石牧想了想,回道。 „Is she?” “是她？” Zhong Xiu is lost in thought that long time said: 钟秀陷入了沉思,良久才道: „It seems like I was planned.” “看来我是被算计了。” Shi Mu one hear of this words, are startled, rush to ask to Zhong Xiu the whole story. 石牧一听此言,吃了一惊,赶忙向钟秀问起个中原委。 „My side originally only then a trusted subordinate, young Wei embarking first a half month ago is felt by...... me who at the meeting appoints somewhat strangely, but young Wei is good, manner also clever sensible, therefore I deeply have not thought, then kept her. Never expected that she held back what one knows about an incident at this matter unexpectedly, implicated the entire chamber of commerce!” Zhong Xiu said slowly. “我身边原来只有一名亲信,小薇是临出发前半个月前被会中指派来的……本来我就觉得有些奇怪,但小薇性格不错,为人也乖巧懂事,所以我也没有深想,便将她留了下来。没想到她在这次事情上居然知情不报,连累了整个商会！”钟秀缓缓说道。 „I have observed this female, only then Houtian Warrior strength, should some people instigate in the back is right. Xiu Er, you may know that is who sends her to come?” Shi Mu asked. “我观察过此女,只有后天武者实力,应该是有人在背后唆使才对。秀儿,你可知道是何人派她来的？”石牧问道。 „This I am not clear, but your such saying, I also felt am at the meeting the person behavior.” Zhong Xiu shakes the head, said. “这我就不清楚了,不过你这么一说,我也觉得是会中之人所为。”钟秀摇了摇头,如此说道。 „Xiu Er, you felt relieved! If makes me seek this person, decides as you to remove the future trouble.” The Shi Mu sinking sound said. “秀儿,你放心！若让我寻得此人,定为你除掉后患。”石牧沉声说道。 „Big Brother Shi, even if removes this person, could not solve the current predicament. The cargo amount that this chamber of commerce transports is huge, and eight floating clouds car(riage)s that the chamber of commerce sends out also spend not poor, now the total loses, the chamber of commerce will not only face the large amount of Spirit Stone compensation, the chamber of commerce reputation/honorary must sweep the floor. My this responsible guest official elder can hardly absolve, now can only first return to Green Dawn City, reported this robbed matter to the chamber of commerce truthfully.” Zhong Xiu elegant slightly pressed saying. “石大哥,即便除掉此人,也解决不了当前的困局。此次商会运送的货物数额巨大,且商会派出的八艘浮云车本身也耗资不菲,如今全数丢失,商会不仅将面临巨额灵石赔偿,商会名誉也要扫地。我这个负责的客卿长老难辞其咎,如今只能先返回苍旭城,向商会如实汇报此次被劫之事了。”钟秀秀美微蹙的说道。 „East wing crane section and Dark Moon teach this time to collaborate, has done is watertight, we do not have the evidence to show that now they plot together the matter. I do not believe, your chamber of commerce these elder assembly for no reason believe me and Cai'er statement of only one of the parties for no reason.” Shi Mu said. “翼鹤部和冥月东教此次联手,早已做得滴水不漏,我们现在也没有证据可以证明他们合谋之事。我可不认为,你们商会那些长老会平白无故的相信我和彩儿的一面之词。”石牧说道。 „Big Brother Shi you said right, the wing crane section and Heavenly Wu Merchant Association always well water not interfering with river water, Dark Moon Church usually and the contacts in some chamber of commerce many business, the relations are close. If identifies both, they will not acknowledge absolutely, but now in situation, as if also only then first frankly expressed a way to the chamber of commerce.” Zhong Xiu nods, said. “石大哥你说的没错,翼鹤部与天吴商会向来井水不犯河水,冥月教平日里和商会还有不少生意上的往来,关系密切。如果就这么指证两者,他们绝对不会承认,可如今情况下,似乎也只有先向商会坦陈一途了。”钟秀点了点头,道。 „Xiu Er, I do not think, because after this matter lets you, leaves Heavenly Wu Merchant Association to leave behind what argument. This matter gives me!” Shi Mu resolute saying. “秀儿,我不想因为此事让你以后离开天吴商会留下什么口舌。此事交给我吧！”石牧语气坚定的说道。 „Big Brother Shi, you want......” Zhong Xiu to be startled. “石大哥,你这是要……”钟秀一怔。 „Good, I must help you recapture the cargo!” Shi Mu said. “不错,我要助你夺回货物！”石牧说道。 „What? Recaptures the cargo?” Zhong Xiu in great surprise. “什么？夺回货物？”钟秀大惊。 „Good, Xiu Er, we first returns to Cloud Wing City to have a look at the situation, can recapture many are many, remaining I found the way to be good again.” Shi Mu said. “不错,秀儿,我们先回云翼城看看情况,能夺回多少是多少,剩下的我再想办法好了。”石牧道。 „Does not may! Big Brother Shi, opposite party population overall strength is far higher than me and others, how do we seize? Went to the words, can only bring death! I will not make you take risk!” Saying, Zhong Xiu closely grasps Shi Mu, for fear that Shi Mu walked. “万万不可！石大哥,对方无论是人数还是整体实力都远高于我等,我们如何去夺？去了的话,只能是送死！我不会让你去冒险的！”说着,钟秀紧紧地抱住石牧,生怕石牧就这么走了。 „Xiu Er, if can recall some losses, perhaps will soon be separated from the chamber of commerce also to have the help to you. You do not need to worry, my own means can preserve itself.” Shi Mu caresses Zhong Xiu lightly, comforts to say. “秀儿,如果能挽回一些损失,也许对你早日脱离商会也有助益。你不用担心,我自有办法能保全自己。”石牧轻抚钟秀,安慰道。 „No, I do not make you go, was too dangerous. Your I experienced so many, can walk in the same place, I really do not think that......” Zhong Xiu is saying, eye socket already slightly flood red. “不,我不让你去,实在太危险了。你我经历了这么多,才能走在一起,我实在不想……”钟秀说着,眼眶已微微泛红。 „Do not worry, I have the means that believes me!” Shi Mu sees this, embraced tightly Zhong Xiu, comforts to say. “别担心,我已有办法,相信我！”石牧见此,搂紧了钟秀,安慰道。 Zhong Xiu sees stubborn Shi Mu, considers over and over, decided that two people go together, this can also take care of mutually. 钟秀见拗不过石牧,考虑再三,决定二人同去,这样还能互相照应。 Shi Mu sees Zhong Xiu is so firm, did not oppose, but regarding seizing the idea of treasure needs to consider more complete, he does not think that Zhong Xiu is injured again. 石牧见钟秀如此坚决,也不反对,不过对于夺宝之计需要考虑得更周全一些了,他不想钟秀再次受伤。 After deciding, Zhong Xiu showed a cargo manifest to Shi Mu, Shi Mu discovered, in the list had star stone thing unexpectedly. 商定之后,钟秀向石牧出示了一份货物清单,石牧发现,清单上竟有星石此物。 Initially at the Tian Yu City auction, Shi Mu has known what Weixing the stone, can be rise immortal auction the thing of next to last act, the value was inevitably big. 当初在天虞城的拍卖会中,石牧早已知晓何为星石,能作为升仙拍卖会的压轴之物,价值必然不小。 But this point was also confirmed from the Zhong Xiu mouth. 而这一点也从钟秀口中得到了证实。 Actually this time transports, only then the star stone of that thumb size is most important, may be called the priceless treasure. Other cargos quite see to be much filthier in comparison. 其实此次运送中,只有那块拇指大小的星石才是最重要的,堪称无价之宝。其余货物与之相比则相形见秽得多。 However even if so, these other cargos add, must unable to surpass in 50 ten thousand Spirit Stone. 不过即便如此,那些其他货物加起来,也要超过不下于五十万灵石了。 „Right, Xiu Er, why this time transported, what floating clouds car(riage) Heavenly Wu Merchant Association must use, placing in storage Wujie more convenient?” The Shi Mu doubts said. “对了,秀儿,为何此次运送,天吴商会要用什么浮云车,放在储物戒中岂不是更方便？”石牧疑惑道。 „Big Brother Shi, you have not to know that star stone cannot admit storage Wujie, therefore the chamber of commerce elders transport many cargos together, attempts to pass off fake articles for the real thing, has not thought by this disaster.” Helpless Zhong Xiu said. “石大哥,你有所不知,那星石不能放进储物戒,所以商会长老才将许多货物一起运送,企图鱼目混珠,没想到还是遭此劫难。”钟秀无奈道。 Shi Mu one hear, is somewhat surprised, because oneself that star stone happen to treats well in an corner/horn that dust vast abstains from. 石牧一听,有些惊讶,因为自己那枚星石正好好地待在尘渺戒的一角。 Sees Shi Mu somewhat to start to speak but hesitate, Zhong Xiu explained: 见石牧有些欲言又止,钟秀解释道: „Star stone not cannot put in storage Wujie, is only some chamber of commerce stipulations, the mass cargo transports must use the floating clouds car(riage), why as for some so unusual stipulations, I do not know.” “星石并非不能放入储物戒中,只是商会有规定,大批量货物运送都必须用浮云车,至于为何有这般奇特的规定,我也并不知晓。” „Shi Tou (stone), is not good! You two individual in my I, in the outside mountain came the person of many wing crane section, what person probably is searching for?” At this moment, the Shi Mu heart resounds the Cai'er sound. “石头,不好了！你们两个别在里面亲亲我我了,外面山里来了很多翼鹤部的人,好像在搜寻什么人？”就在此刻,石牧心中响起彩儿的声音。 The Shi Mu brow wrinkles, the opening sharing field of vision, the facial expression immediately changes. 石牧眉头皱起,开启共享视野,神情顿时一变。 „What's wrong?” Zhong Xiu detected that the facial expression change of Shi Mu, asked. “怎么了？”钟秀察觉到石牧的神情变化,问道。 „Outside came the person of many wing crane section, is searching for anything all over.” Shi Mu said. “外面来了不少翼鹤部之人,在漫山遍野的搜寻着什么。”石牧说道。 „Is looks our?” The Zhong Xiu facial expression changes. “难道是来找我们的？”钟秀神情一变。 „Now has not known, walks, goes to have a look.” Shi Mu is holding the hand of Zhong Xiu, walked. “现在还不知道,走,出去看看。”石牧拉着钟秀的手,走了出去。 Zhong Xiu hesitant, the little darling follows Shi Mu, walks toward the cave outside.( To be continued.) 钟秀犹豫了一下,还是乖乖跟着石牧,朝山洞外走去。(未完待续。)
