Chapter 9 Spring River Boat 3

Feng Tong stood up and walked to the corner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He curled his fingers and tapped down the inside of the wall, a small but rhythmic sound, with long and short intervals and varying degrees of intensity. After doing all this, he returned to the wooden collapse and smiled at Yan Yang as if nothing had happened.

Yan Yang looked dazed, but he didn't ask directly, and replied with a simple smile. The two of them had very different smiles on their faces, and neither of them spoke, and for a moment the room was a little embarrassingly quiet.

Feng Tong lightly clasped the table with two fingers, making a crisp crashing sound, looking like an old god was there. Yan Yang silently counted the sound, once, twice, three times......

When he counted to the twentieth time, his ears pricked up, and there was the sound of clattering footsteps outside the door, apparently from stepping on the wooden staircase, and the sound grew louder and faster, and finally even overpowered the sound of Feng Tong slamming the table.

At this time, the door was opened, and a girl of fourteen or five years old rushed in, panting with one hand on the wall.

Feng Tong smiled with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Li'er, your speed is getting faster and faster." ”

Yan Yang didn't expect it, not because of the girl's petite body and childish face, but because there was a fluffy creature lying on her hair, with white hair and red eyes, like a rabbit.

Probably because she was rushing in a hurry, the rabbit was almost thrown off, and it was climbing up by her hair. Yan Yang pointed to his head with his hand, and said a little unbearably: "Doesn't it hurt?" ”

"Huh?" Li'er was stunned, and then smiled "hee-hee": "The ball is very well-behaved." ”

She turned to Feng Tong, and there was some dissatisfaction in her tone: "It seems that there is nothing wrong here, what are you doing with the signal of '100,000 urgent'?" ”

Feng Tong said "hehe", took out a string of sugar gourds, and handed them forward: "I bought you sugar gourds." ”

Li'er took it unceremoniously, sat down and licked it, revealing a satisfied expression: "Thank you, good brother of the shopkeeper." ”

Looking at her satisfied expression, Feng Tong took out the remaining three strings of sugar gourds and put them on the table: "It's all yours!" ”

Li'er glanced at the sugar gourd on the table, a little unable to sit still, looked Fengtong up and down carefully, and asked with some uncertainty: "Say, what is the matter this time?" ”

Feng Tong was like a fox, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said unhurriedly: "It's just a trivial matter, I'll talk about it after you finish eating first." ”

Li'er suddenly cried and lost her face: "Last time, in order to help you catch the flower thief, I almost lost my body, and you said it was a trivial matter that time." ”

Feng Tong didn't expect her to mention this stubble, and said with some embarrassment: "It was an accident last time, how do I know that pervert, I like a young child like you who has never budded, and even risk being sentenced heavily...... It's my negligence, negligence. ”

He added: "But this time it's really a small thing, and you just need to play in your true colors." ”

Li'er put down the sugar gourd: "You better say it first......"

Feng Tong had no choice but to tell the story of Chunjiangfang, omitting the key details, but it did not prevent Li'er from understanding his purpose. The latter's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "So you want to borrow the identity of the shopkeeper of Xingchao Building and enter the Chunjiang Fang?" ”

Feng Tong waved his hand, pushed Yan Yang in front of him, and said, "It's not me, it's him." ”

Yan Yang was also taken aback at this time: "Why is it?" ”

"It's very simple, although very few people know that I am the shopkeeper of Xingchaolou, but most of the people in Hangzhou City know that I am the Xuanjian of the Anmin Division, and it is too ostentatious to get on the ship in such an capacity."

"When I first arrived in Hangzhou, I didn't attract attention, and I was accompanied by a carp girl, so I could sit as a shopkeeper. Just ......"

Yan Yang still seemed to have doubts, but Feng Tong took over the conversation at the right time, and said with a sly smile: "It's just that Lord Yan's outfit seems to be too conspicuous......

In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Yang and Li'er came to the No. 8 dock at the Qiantang River wharf.

The Chunjiang Boat has been here for a few days, perhaps because it has long been famous, but from a distance, the building is unnoticeable, and it is only when outsiders get closer and closer that they are more shocked by its towering size.

The main body of this ship is tall and broad, with a sharp head and a wide tail, flat as a balance at the top and narrow as a blade at the bottom. Yan Yang looked up, he had already estimated in his heart, there were about hundreds of steps from the bow to the stern, and there were dozens of steps between the left and right, and there were six masts standing in turn, with two main sails, four auxiliary sails, and six motorized sails, excluding the height of the draft at the bottom, the hull was already four stories high.

He was born in the Department of Maritime Affairs, and he has seen ships of different forms, and there are also ships of this size, but all of them are important weapons of the country to defend the sea frontier. He looked down and noticed that the dock's water chamber was full, and the waterline was basically parallel to the river, indicating that the repair work of the ship was almost complete.

At the end of the bridge stood two waiters, dressed in bright red silk robes, with a fox face painted with thin pottery, but one was joyful and the other was sad, and the contrast between the two gave people an indescribable sense of mystery.

Li'er stepped forward to hand over the sticker, and after a while, a woman stepped off the boat and said after a few steps: "Welcome, welcome." The presence of the chief officer on the first floor of Hangzhou really made the boat shine. ”

She was holding a jade plate in her hand, dressed elegantly but it was difficult to hide her demeanor, but with this opening, Yan Yang had already judged that she was above forty years old.

"Although Xingchaolou is under the name of the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce, His Excellency the Director has always been rare to see, Scarlet Ji originally thought that the one who could sit on this huge industry must be one of the giants from all over the world, but he did not expect to be a handsome son of Fengshen."

At this time, Yan Yang changed into a green silk wide-sleeved Suiyun robe, put down his hair, and used a piece of green jade to pull out a beautiful bun.

He smiled apologetically and said, "It's all the shadow of the ancestors, and it's ashamed to say it." ”

Li'er was a little dissatisfied: "Although the shopkeeper's brother is young, he is a person who is deeply trusted by Boss Huang. ”

Scarlet Ji glanced at her and said, "Don't misunderstand the shopkeeper of Lier, since you have accepted the post, the two of you are guests of Chunjiangfang, please come with me." ”

The two followed her to the deck, and Yan Yang smelled a smell of tung oil. After the wood is soaked in tung oil, it will become very tough, and it is difficult to leave traces when slashing with knives and axes, let alone flying rocks and arrows, but it is afraid of open flames, so this method is mostly used for sea boats, but it is rarely seen in painting boats.

The cabin is in the middle and rear of the ship, and it looks like it has three floors from the outside, but when Yan Yang and the two entered, they found that the deck here was lower than expected, leaving a huge space below, with more than ten rooms arranged on the left and right, and a platform in the middle, on which nine tables were neatly placed horizontally and vertically.

"The Goryeo Chess Sect came from the north to challenge the master of the Siming Academy, and the final battle will start in half an hour, when they will talk about nine games, if the two of you are interested in chess, you can take this opportunity to observe and learn."

Scarlet Ji led them up as she explained, "The rest of the ship's activities won't start until after nightfall - the two of you have already arrived, please feel free to do whatever you want for the rest of the day." ”

She bowed politely and turned away.

It wasn't until the door creaked shut that Li'er stuck out his tongue: "This hospitality is far worse than our Xingchaolou." ”

She looked left and right, a little disappointed: "This is the Qinglou?" Except that the room is a little smaller, it doesn't seem to be anything special. ”

Yan Yang couldn't help but wonder: "I'm afraid this is not only a green building, but also a casino." ”

Seeing Li'er's puzzled expression, he explained: "It is rare for national players to play on the boat, but those chess tables, I don't know if you have noticed, there are more or less traces of wear. The importance of chess is to be in a peaceful state of mind, and if you lift weights lightly, you will not be scratched like that without experiencing thousands of games of chess...... That's clearly the table. ”

He smiled slightly: "Although prostitution and gambling are not separated, but during the day, the casino can become a game, and what interesting things will happen after nightfall?" ”

Speaking of this, he remembered one thing: "Lord Feng went to the Anmin Division early in the morning to check the file, saying that he would meet us later, but he didn't know how to get on the boat?" ”

Li'er was not worried at all: "Brother Shopkeeper has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe, he will already be on the ship." ”

Outside dock eight.

Feng Tong was dressed in casual clothes, standing under a willow tree on the embankment, looking at the Spring River Boat through the scattered branches.

"These two waiters have stood for so long, they can't move, they can't see their expressions, could it be that they are really wooden people?" He smiled wryly: "In that case, give him a try!" ”

In a moment's time, he stretched out his hand to the wicker on his side, brushed off a willow leaf, and then his eyes were sharp, his elbow was bent, and he made a "picking leaves and flying flowers", and the soft willow leaves were urged by his strength, and suddenly turned into a sharp edge, and broke through the air towards the two people on the side of the pontoon.

They were separated by more than two hundred steps, and with Feng Tong's skill, at such a distance, they could not turn the willow leaves into bone-piercing cones and carve a bloody hole in the human body, at best, it would only cut the corners of their clothes and cut their skin.

Even so, it was quite an embarrassing end for the two waiters.
