Chapter 390: Chapter 198: Follow into Battle
The next morning at dawn.
Su Mo arrived on deck early.
Not to enjoy the first breeze of the morning, but to et each of the household heads.
Last night, scouts had already reported that the thieves along the river had withdrawn, and their troops had returned to camp.
But it was too late last night, so they didn’t dare co and disturb Su Mo’s rest.
Hence, they ca early this morning to inform.
As they notified about this event, the assembled fleet of ships was gradually dispersing.
Ultimately, this small interlude during the journey has just passed.
After Su Mo bade farewell to the household heads, Manager Zhan had soone steer the boat, and they continued on their journey.
However, after this, Manager Zhan’s attitude towards Su Mo underwent a drastic change.
During conversations, he always made people feel as if they were basking in the warmth of spring.
Food and drink were always delivered on ti, it’s just a pity… Su Mo never partook.
After all, it wasn’t his boat, even though Manager Zhan didn’t seem like a bad person.
However, ultimately it’s hard to paint the bones of a tiger from its skin, and to truly know soone’s heart.
When traveling, it’s always good to be a bit cautious.
After another two days, they arrived at Jiyang Ferry.
Below deck, the escort agency’s goods had already been unloaded, boxes loaded onto carts, horses saddled, and with a flick, the flag of the Ziyang Escort Agency fluttered in the wind.
Manager Zhan, along with his crew, rarely disembarked and was saying a prolonged goodbye to Su Mo:
“I never imagined that my humble boat would have the chance to ferry soone as distinguished as Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“Alas, our ti together was short, I hope for another eting soday.”
Su Mo laughed heartily: “My base is in Luoxia City, if you wish to et again, Manager Zhan, you can find at the Ziyang Escort Agency when you pass by Luoxia City. Then, I’ll play host and surely invite Manager Zhan for a good drink.”
“Is it a promise?”
“Sure.”
After saying this, both n laughed heartily.
After the laughter, Manager Zhan glanced at Li Zhongcheng, who promptly brought over a box.
Su Mo was montarily puzzled: “Manager Zhan, what is this?”
“This is a gift of apology.”
“…Manager Zhan, you are too courteous. But why the word ‘apology’?”
“Ah…”
Manager Zhan sighed: “I’ve got to tell you the truth, Lord Su, and I hope Lord Su won’t be annoyed.
“While we were on the boat, although I held Lord Su in high regard, I didn’t really take it seriously.
“Exchanging gifts is my way of dealing with people.
“To always greet with a smile and make more friends is the way to wealth.
“But the gift of the Thousand mile Sight was sowhat careless.
“At that ti, I hadn’t considered that Lord Su might soday sail across Nanhai and ride the winds.
“Therefore, there was sothing I didn’t explain.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo smiled: “Manager Zhan, are you talking about the fact that the Thousand mile Sight is a prohibited item at sea?”
“Lord Su already knew.”
Manager Zhan glanced at Wei Ziyi, who was preparing the carriage at the side, and spoke softly: “It was an oversight at that ti, and later on I realized that Lord Su is a true hero on Earth, the re Nanhai probably isn’t a challenge.
“That’s when I realized my mistake, suspecting there might have been ulterior motives.
“During these days, I’ve been so troubled that I couldn’t eat or sleep, thinking about how to rectify this oversight…
“Eventually, knowing that Lord Su seed rather curious about Nanhai, I thought of this.”
He took the box from Li Zhongcheng, opened it, and inside was a set of scrolls.
Manager Zhan picked up the scroll and handed it to Su Mo: “Please have a look, Lord Su.”
“Alright.”
Su Mo agreed, unfolding the scroll.
It was a map… or rather, accurately speaking, a Sea Map.
The route depicted an island, as well as so details about the surrounding sea areas.
Su Mo looked at Manager Zhan, sowhat surprised.
Manager Zhan smiled and said: “This is a treasure map.
“The island depicted is where the treasure is hidden.
“Of course, there are many such treasure maps above the vast Nanhai.
“There are also many who enjoy discovering the secrets in these vast seas.
“However, even if one possesses a real map, finding the treasure still depends on fate and timing.
“Nanhai is vast, and its waters are imnse; sotis if luck isn’t on your side, even if you find the location, you might end up with nothing.
“This map was obtained from a man of considerable status. It has been in my possession for half a lifeti, from which I’ve made more than a dozen copies, but alas… I have never found the place.
“Since Lord Su is quite interested in Nanhai, I thought of giving this as a token of my apology.
“Who knows, maybe when Lord Su visits Nanhai, with deep fate, you might find it instantly?”
Su Mo was speechless. Manager Zhan’s words were clearly circumspect; he himself had searched for half a lifeti and hadn’t found it, so how could Su Mo be so lucky to find it all of a sudden.
But a statent about fate not arriving yet doesn’t an this item is entirely aningless.
Holding it in his hand, Su Mo indeed felt a bit of excitent.
