"Shall we go to the summer capital?" Duan Si continued.

"Good. Qi Xing nodded and said.

"Yesterday I thought about it, if we go to the summer capital, it is better for us to take the waterway. ”

"It takes more than a month to travel by land, and half a month to travel by water. ”

"First rush to Yishui Ferry and set off, find a merchant ship, and pay some silver. ”

"Pass through Dongxi, Minjiang, and then go to the ferry port of Fucheng, the main city of the summer capital. Duan Sixu took out the map from his cloth bag and said.

"Good. "Together, we should respond.

"You just have to respond well, and don't want to say a word more. Duan Si continued to fold the map and said coquettishly.

"Listen to you. Qi Xingwen said.

When Duan Sixu heard this, he suddenly blushed, grabbed the strap of the cloth bag, and walked forward quickly past Qi Xing.

She muttered in a low voice: "How can you stand it if it's so sultry." ”

Qi Xing asked, "What?"

"No, let's hurry up, we need to get to the ferry at noon. Duan Si continued to run away and shouted loudly.

After the two went down the mountain, they came to the post station and rented two good horses, and hurried in the direction of the ferry.

It took about three or four hours before we reached our destination.

I saw that before I reached the ferry, the street was already bustling.

Duan Sixu and Qi Xing returned their horses at the post station here and started walking.

This is the passage of trade and business in the southern waterway, so there are many vendors from all walks of life.

Yishui belongs to the Yangtze River basin, through which large and small merchant ships either go to the estuary or go inland.

"Ejiao wine!" a vendor shouted.

Duan Si continued to hear it, and was just about to say to Qi Xing that he wanted to get some wine, but he heard Qi Xing say first: "Go ahead." ”

"Those who know me, if you are you, wait for me!" Duan Sixu smiled happily and walked quickly to the stall selling Ejiao wine.

Qi Xing shook his head helplessly, and looked not far away, there was a wooden sign standing under the tree: Yishui Ferry.

At this time, a man straddled a black cloth bag, walked to Qi Xing's side, and asked with an extremely mysterious expression, "Master, do you want a magic weapon?"

Qi Xing saw that this person was acting suspiciously, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just turned around and looked away.

The man with the black cloth bag refused to give up.

He still squeezed to Qi Xing's side and whispered, "Master, this is a magic weapon made of the bones of the divine dragon, and it is extremely powerful!"

When Qi Xing heard the word Shenlong, a low roar sounded in his ears for some reason.

"Where's the noise!" Qi Xing asked, grabbing the man's sleeve.

"What, what's the noise!" the man asked, shuddered by Qi Xing's suddenly terrifying eyes and voice.

Qi Xing stared at the man and asked again: "Fang Cai, a muffled roar, you didn't hear it!"

The man dodged Qi Xing's tear hard, hugged the cloth bag tightly and said, "I didn't hear any roars. ”

At this moment, Duan Sixu ran over, and she saw the situation from a distance.

"What happened?" Duan Sixu asked with concern.

Qi Xing put down his hand that stopped in mid-air, frowned slightly and said, "It's okay." ”

"Hey, girl, look at it, dragon bone artifact!" the man said with a smile that he would not miss an opportunity to do business.

Duan Sixu glanced at Qi Xing, who was thinking about something, and asked the man, "Dragon bone artifact?"

The man lifted the black cloth bag a little, showed it to Duan Sixu, and said mysteriously, "Have you seen it?"

"I said girl, this is the keel removed from the body of a living dragon!"

"If you use such a weapon in your hand, why worry that you won't be invincible in the world!"

Duan Sixu smiled and continued to ask, "This is strange, I have never heard of a divine dragon appearing here. ”

"Where did you get this keel?"

The man was stunned for a moment, obviously being asked, and he gave Duan Si a new look.

He snorted and said, "Don't chase where you come, if the girl wants it, she will give a silver coin." ”

"If you don't, don't coax me to play. ”

"Let's go. Qi Xing felt very upset, and he urged.

When the man saw Qi Xing's attitude, he was about to leave and find another buyer.

Duan Sixu saw that he was leaving, so he stopped, took out a silver coin from his waist, and said, "I want it." ”

"What are you going to do with it!" Qi Xing said unhappily.

Duan Sixu shook his head slowly, and did not respond to the words of Qi Xing.

He just said to the man, "Even if you receive the money, you can tell me where this artifact came from, right?"

The man looked at the silver money in his hand, and his heart was very happy, and blurted out: "I received it from a merchant who came from the summer capital." ”

With that, the man walked off into the distance and left.

"Why did you buy this? Qi Xing asked.

Duan Si continued: "What does this thing have to do with you?"

"No, no. Qi Xing's face was extremely ugly.

"I've never seen you so angry. Duan Si continued to worry.

When Qi Xing heard this, he eased slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know why." ”

Duan Sixu patted Qi Xing's shoulder and said, "Just now, as soon as I saw that keel, I heard a low roar. ”

"But it didn't come from around here. ”

Qi Xing was shocked and said, "You also heard it?"

"How? you heard that too?" Duan Si continued.

"Yes. Qi Xing said in a deep voice.

The roar sounded extremely painful and desperate. Qi Xing continued.

Duan Sixu shook the keel wrapped in the black bag in his hand and said, "It should be from this keel." ”

"Moreover, it is unreasonable for the merchants of the summer capital to come here to sell dragon bone weapons. ”

Qi Xing nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"For now, it's important for us to find a merchant ship first. Duan Sixu looked into the distance and said.

"Good. "Together, we should respond.

With that, the two of them hurried towards the ferry.

"Sir, where is this ship going?" asked a young man who was sorting out his goods by a merchant ship.

The young man put down his goods, turned around, and wiped the sweat from his face.

looked at Duan Sixu and Qi Xing, and said, "Go to the summer capital." ”

Qi Xing continued to ask, "Can we take this boat?" ”

The young man scratched his head and said with a smile: "Here, I'll ask the boss, wait a minute." ”

"I'm tired. Salute in unison.

With that, the young man ran to the board and said something to an older man with a tall, thin figure and dark skin.

As he spoke, he pointed to the direction of Duan Sixu and Qi Xing.

I saw that the young man hurriedly ran over and said to the two of them: "The boss should agree, but the environment of the merchant ship is not good. ”

"I'm afraid I've wronged the two of you. ”

Qi Xing saluted with one palm: "Thank you." ”

Immediately, the two of them boarded the merchant ship, only to see that the merchant ship was very large, half of which was a cargo warehouse.

There were seven people on deck, and a helmsman was ready to sail.

Two crew members pulled up the sail ropes, and three tally workers carried the goods to the cabin.

The young man who had tally the goods continued to carry his goods and walked towards the warehouse.

At this time, the boss greeted him, laughed and said, "You two, are you also going to the summer capital?"

"Exactly. Duan Si continued.

"Looking at the clothes of the two, they are not business people, but more like people in the rivers and lakes. The boss smiled.

"It's just running the rivers and lakes. Duan Si continued to smile and said.

"However, my boatman may have already told the two of you. ”

"This is a merchant ship, the environmental conditions are harsh, I am afraid of being wronged. "The owner was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's already a great favor for you to agree that we're borrowing your boat to ride. ”

"The boss doesn't have to say that. Duan Si continued.

"Well, since the two of you also paid the money, I should take care of it. The boss said.

"Thank you boss. Duan Si continued to thank him.

"I haven't asked the boss how to call him. Duan Si continued.

"Negligent, negligent, in Xia Deng Ming, specializing in the sea salt business. Zhao Ming said.

"Sea salt?" Duan Si continued.

"Exactly. ”

"This sea salt is the salt that is refined from roasting seawater. Zhao Ming said.

"This type of salt is not common. Duan Si continued.

Zhao Ming grabbed a handful of salt from the salt bag beside him.

Duan Sixu and Qi Xing looked at it, and said excitedly: "This kind of salt has not yet risen in the inland. ”

"Islands like Dongyingzhou are used a lot. ”

"You see, compared to the salt refined in the inland salt flats, it is more crystal white and clear. ”

Duan Si continued to look at it and smiled: "It's indeed as Boss Zhao said." ”

After a period of small talk, several people were speechless.

That's it, Duan Sixu and Qi Xing, on this Haiyan merchant ship, followed all the way to the summer capital.

Eight days later, the merchant ship sailed to the upper reaches of the Min River, but encountered a sudden change in the weather, and a strong wind blew on the river.

In an instant, black clouds rolled in, as if tens of thousands of troops were pressing the border, the momentum was violent, and it was very terrifying.
