The spring city stands on the seashore, with three walls and one water port, and although the city is not huge, it is very busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Especially the recent news of the dragon treasure rumored in the rivers and lakes, martial arts people from various factions, and even lone knights, are looking for sea ships everywhere to prepare to go to sea.

Therefore, a small harbor town such as Quancheng naturally gathers a lot of people.

Xue Yue and the others were originally going to help Nangong Yu find Qin Shengmo Qingyu first, and then go to Chaoyin Island by the way.

But along the way, there was no longer a single sea boat outside the city, and all of them were occupied by martial arts people who were preparing to go to sea.

In desperation, they had no choice but to travel all the way south to the spring city, where the most promising sea ship could be found.

The Holy Son of Heaven ordered that all cities be under martial law, even this small spring city is no exception.

Under the gatehouse, which is not too high, a team of stubborn armor soldiers lined up on both sides, with fierce faces, checking the sword holding orders for all the martial arts people carrying swords.

If anyone dares to pass the test in the dark, once they are discovered, they will immediately be waiting for them with guns, and they will not be relentless.

Xue Yue and the others didn't want to cause more trouble, so they honestly handed over the knife order in their hands and followed the carriage all the way into Quancheng.

The city is not large, but the roads are very wide and strong, all paved with the finest blue bricks, so that horse-drawn carriages full of goods can walk on them without worrying about crushing the roadbed.

"There's a boat shop ahead, let's go in and have a look!"

Looking at the martial arts people who were doing nothing and wandering around the street, Nangong Yu, who was dressed in brocade and jade robes, was inevitably a little unaccustomed to such an environment, so he proposed.

Xue Yue had nothing to do, and a few people squeezed through the crowded flow of people and walked towards the rather large boat.

To their surprise, the carriage that had been walking in front of them also stopped in front of the boat.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any spare boats to go to sea?"

Letting go of the carriage that stopped in front of the boat, Xue Yue and the others walked into the boat, and immediately the guard next to Nangong Yu walked over and asked a rather wealthy middle-aged man behind the counter.

The shopkeeper's smile is like the Maitreya in the temple.

When he heard the guard's question, he glanced at the man in Confucian clothes in front of him again, squeezed out an embarrassed expression, licked his belly that was bigger than Li Ziyue, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, I'm really embarrassed, the last sea ship of this ship was also booked by this gentleman just now." ”

Xue Yue couldn't help but look at the man in Confucian clothes, who was about forty years old, dressed in a light cyan Confucian shirt, with a certain black sand scarf crown on his hair bun, and three long wisps of beard.

The man in Confucian clothes also saw Xue Yue's gaze, so he bowed slightly, and arched his hand politely but slightly distantly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Shopkeeper, do you know any other boat shops nearby, and you can still rent idle sea boats?"

Guarding Qin was unyielding, and did not give up completely, and asked again.

The fat shopkeeper shook his head, looked at Xue Yue and his party in front of the door, and replied in a slightly proud tone: "In the entire Spring City, it belongs to my family's Hutchison boat line, if we don't have a boat here, then there must be no other boat line!" ”

It is not far from the arrival of Qinsheng on Qiongzhou Island, and now because of the search for dragon treasures, they can't find an idle boat that can go to sea, which makes Nangong Yu, who is worried about his father's injury, very anxious for a while.

"Shopkeeper, is there really no more ship that can go to sea? I can pay a lot of money, as long as you have a boat, I can buy it! ”

Nangong Yu walked in front of the fat shopkeeper in two steps, and pressed his palm on the counter, pressing a thick stack of silver bills.

As long as he can find a ship, even if it is ten thousand taels of gold, he will not care.

The fat shopkeeper stared at the stack of thick silver bills, and his expression was a little more struggling, but after a long time, he still sighed dejectedly, "This son, it's not that he is not willing to do your business, but he really doesn't have a boat."

If I ruin my agreement with others because of this money, you know, these people are all martial arts people, all of them kill people without blinking, and the small ones don't want to end up, the money is earned, but in the end they don't have the life to spend it! ”

Nangong Yu didn't seem to be ready to give up, and continued to work hard: "Shopkeeper, I want this ship to go to sea for a short time, just to Qiongzhou Island, which is not far away, and I promise to return it within ten days, and it won't affect your business and that of others!" ”

The shopkeeper seemed to be a little moved, but after thinking about it for a long time, he thought of the possible consequences, and shook his head resolutely, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, not to mention renting out the sea ships booked by others to you, it is a violation of our rules, if you can't come back on time, won't my family die because of this?" ”

Nangong Yu looked at the fat shopkeeper who had a fixed tone, with a lost expression on his face.

Outside the door of the ship, in the elegant carriage, Song Tieyi listened to the conversation in the ship, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

When he was in the tea shed outside the city, he actually had the intention of wooing Xue Yue, but at that time, there were many people, and he was worried that he would be exposed, so he never made a move.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived in the city, this opportunity would be delivered to him again.

He whispered a few words to another Confucian man in the carriage.

The man in Confucian clothes understood and immediately got out of the carriage and came to Xue Yue and the others.

I saw that he first greeted Xue Yue and the others, and then led the previous Confucian scholar with three long beards and said: "The son of the Xiahanjiang Book Club is silent, and the person in front of him is Tang Yue, who is a friend of the classmate and is known as the peerless poet and book."

I listened to your conversation in the car with a few other friends, and I knew that it was because we had rented this last sea boat that you didn't have a boat to go to sea.

So I'm ashamed, I'll wait for a few people to work together, hoping to invite you to board the ship and go to sea together, after all, Qiongzhou Island is not far away, and you can get there soon! ”

This self-proclaimed Confucian man who is silent is full of fists and fists, and his attitude is extremely sincere, not like a person who speaks falsely and falsely.

Nangong Yu, who was annoyed that he couldn't go to sea, suddenly showed an excited look on his face, "Really? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

The smile on Zi Buyu's face and sincere tone never wavered in the slightest.

Xue Yue, who had been watching coldly, although he always felt that something was wrong with this carriage, he didn't want to delay his opportunity to go to Qiongzhou Island when he saw Nangong Yu's demeanor at this time.

So the two sides agreed to meet at the dock in the afternoon, and after going to sea together, they went back to prepare their things.

With a smile on his face, he happily sent Xue Yue and Song Tieyi to the fat shopkeeper after leaving, and when they could no longer be seen in the crowd, he confessed to his buddy, and he hurried back to the backyard.

Not long after, a white carrier pigeon flirted out of the backyard.
