Chapter 2998 Wolf Fang Island
She immediately turned to look at the boatman, frowned and said, "What's going on? Where are you taking me?"
The boatman said, "Xingluo Lake."
"Xingluo Lake? Ben—I've been to Xingluo Lake once before, but not along this road."
"The route you're taking is marked on the map. After entering Xingluo Lake, you'll be close to the Imperial Tomb Temple. I don't want to cause any more trouble, so we won't be taking that waterway."
“…”
“Besides, if we take that waterway again, we might encounter a Guanyin storm by this time.”
“…”
"Our little boat can't withstand that kind of storm."
Guanyin violent...
These three words reminded Nan Yan.
When they entered Xingluo Lake, they encountered the Guanyin storm. Their boat had an accident and they almost died on Xingluo Lake.
It turned out that this person took another water route to avoid the Guanyin storm.
Nan Yan silently looked at the scenery outside for a while, then turned around and looked at the boatman again. The man was not very old, and looked to be no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He was strong and had a cold expression. He didn't say much on the boat these days and looked like someone who was difficult to approach.
However, facing Nan Yan's gaze, he frowned: "Why are you looking at me?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Although you are young, you are quite calm and steady."
The boatman sneered, "You act like you're that great."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm not much older than you. I've just seen more scenery, met more people, and experienced more things than you."
There is nothing wrong with this statement.
But when the young boatman heard this, he felt as if he was stabbed by someone. He glared at Nan Yan fiercely, but Nan Yan had already turned around and walked into the cabin as if nothing had happened. Tingfu immediately came over and helped her sit down. Nan Yan drank tea and leisurely looked at the scenery outside.
For some reason, the boatman seemed a little angry when he saw her leisurely strolling.
He stood alone at the bow and rowed the boat for a long time.
After a while, when their boat passed a wild ferry, he suddenly said: "In the evening, we will be able to reach Lianhuanwu."
Nan Yan said as she looked at the scenery outside, "I thought it would take at least four or five days to get there, but I didn't expect to arrive today."
Then he looked at the boatman and said, "You are quite resourceful."
The boatman looked at her and said nothing.
The river water gurgled and flowed continuously under their feet. In the afternoon, the mist in front became thicker. Even standing at the bow of the boat, one could not see the situation on both sides of the shore. Nan Yan knew that they had officially entered Xingluo Lake.
The grain ships ahead gradually sank into the mist.
The boatman standing at the bow was still rowing the boat steadily. Even though he could no longer see anything around him, he still skillfully rowed the boat forward.
After walking for a while, it got darker.
Nan Yan felt something was wrong, so she walked out of the cabin and stood on the bow looking forward. She could only see about fifty or sixty steps ahead at most, and could no longer see the grain ship. Not only could she not see it, she couldn't even hear any sound.
She frowned and said, "Where are the grain ships?"
The boatman glanced at her, said nothing, and just looked around.
Nan Yan frowned and followed his gaze to the left, only to see a huge black shadow emerging from the twilight, which immediately scared her.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a small island.
There is a high mountain on the island. The mountain is steep and stands like a fang on the lake, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Looking to the right, there is also a small island and the same steep mountains. It looks like a wolf with bared fangs guarding this Xingluo Lake.
A light flashed through Nan Yan's mind, and she murmured, "Wolf Fang Island."
The young boatman standing at the bow suddenly turned his head and looked at her: "How do you know this is Langya Island?"
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
She knew this because after following Zhu Feng to the Imperial Tomb Temple, Qin Ruolan, who was then Concubine Ning, had told her about the situation on Xingluo Lake. Later, Zhu Feng intended to take over the Tiangang Lianhuanwu on Xingluo Lake, so he sent troops to attack and captured the two Langya Islands, preparing to use this place as a base to continue attacking Xingluo Lake.
But later, because he was kidnapped by Arslan, he was forced to abandon his plan.
Thinking about it now, it’s such a pity.
The reason why Xingluo Lake has not been taken over for so many years is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The imperial court is not familiar with the situation here at all. Langya Island, as the barrier of Tiangang Lianhuanwu, has also blocked foreign invasions in many previous battles.
At that time, Zhu Feng had already taken over Langya Island and actually had a great chance of winning.
But I gave up because of myself.
I hope this time——
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, "My husband had already entered Xingluo Lake and taken control of this waterway. How could he not know anything about this place? If he really didn't know anything about it, would he dare to let me in?"
The boatman believed it without a doubt.
However, when he looked at Nan Yan again, there was a little more emotion in his eyes. He seemed to say with a little admiration and emotion: "You are a woman, coming here, are you really not afraid?"
Nan Yan glanced at him coldly.
He said: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger."
“…”
"My husband and I have built a family business like this because we dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do."
“…”
"Otherwise, who would bring such a huge sum of money to you?"
Hearing this, the boatman rolled his eyes again and said coldly: "Money slave!"
Nan Yan looked at him with a smile and said leisurely, "Young man, in life, you must always have something to pursue, and only if you can achieve it, your life will not be in vain. My husband and I just love money. We have been working hard for it all our lives, and we have earned such a fortune. What's wrong with that?"
“…”
“The ones who have truly wasted their lives are those who don’t even know what they want to do or what they should do.”
“…”
"Even if I possess a wealth of abilities and exist in this world, I'm no different from these rotten stones and cold river water. What's the point?"
The boatman frowned at her words.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Young man, life is long. Think clearly about how to live it first."
After saying that, he turned around and continued to look at the situation on the lake.
The boatman was silent for a long time after hearing her words, and suddenly said, "Don't call me boy, I have a name."
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him.
The boatman said, "My name is Lu Linchuan!"
Seeing his serious look, Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm very busy. In my opinion, only people who are valuable will make me take the trouble to remember their names."
