Although Ah Zi's heart was unsettled and wave after wave, a bunch of questions had poured out at this time, but he understood that he had disturbed Ah Zi for too long today, and if he dragged him any longer, he was afraid that he would miss his recuperation, so he had to suppress the apprehension and excitement in his heart, and try his best to make a calm look, and left in a hurry.

When he returned to his room, it was getting late, and Ah Zi realized that his body was already a little unbearable, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and lay down, but he couldn't sleep on the bed over and over.

Although he slept very unsteadily in the first half of the night, in the second half of the night, Ah Zi still fell asleep unconsciously.

It wasn't until the next day that it was dawn, Ah Zi woke up, hurriedly got up and changed her clothes and went out, and saw that the others had already gathered in the hall on the first floor of the inn, waiting for her alone.

Bao'er is still in the previous men's attire, a moon-white gown, with a lake blue short armor on the outside, seeing Ah Zi coming out, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Did you not sleep well last night?" Me too, I haven't been on a sailing ship for many years, I'm looking forward to it, the last time I went to sea was too hurried, the eldest brother and the eldest brother Zhong found a small raft to deal with, and I was depressed for a while. ”

After that, he didn't forget to glance at Tang Yinzhong who was standing aside.

Tang Yinzhong saw that he had fallen again inexplicably, and said helplessly: "Auntie, I lost a lot of money to you last time, why are you still holding on?" It's good now, it's easy to change your sailing ship, and you have to dig over the old accounts again. ”

Ah Zi looked at the two of them back and forth with a smile, the previous tension was reduced a lot, and looked at Bao'er gratefully, Bao'er generously replied with a hearty smile, and the group left the inn.

Lixin City is not big, only walked a stick of incense to the dock where they were about to set off, and from a distance they saw a sailing ship about fifty paces long on the shore, and about five people high on the water alone.

On the stern of the ship are written three big characters "Fir", and the ship is as its name suggests.

The entire hull is made of solid wood tightly spliced together, and there are no floors visible from the outside, except for an observation deck on the deck. There is no decoration on the ship, and there are no traces of too much ingenuity and carving, and it seems to be unusually simple.

Ah Brown stood on the deck early, waving at the group that rushed over.

Beside him, stood an old man with dark skin. At this moment, the old man also looked at Ah Zi and his party with a smile on his face, and whispered a few words to Ah Zi from time to time.

Putting down the boarding pedals, everyone was greeted on the boat one after another.

"This is Song Luyao, the captain of the Fir, everyone can call him 'Captain Song'. He is our commander when we go to sea, and everything is under the command of the captain, including me, and there is no disobedience in the slightest. Ah Brown smiled and introduced the old man around him, and personally respectfully saluted Song Luyao.

Several people looked at Song Luyao curiously at the moment. I saw that he may have been out to sea for many years, exposed to the wind and sun, his skin was bronze, and the ravines were vertical and horizontal. He is short in stature, but his physique appears to be unusually strong. The thinning hair had long since turned gray, and it was loosely tied in a bun at the back of his head.

Seeing that Ah Brown really saluted and respected himself, the old man was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and smiled at everyone: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lord Tang, you are members of the imperial court, the old man is just a cloth cloth, but there is such an old ship to accompany him, and now Lord Tang is willing to requisition the fir, this is our honor, the old man and the eighteen sailors on board will do their best to escort you back to Beijing. ”

Ah Brown insisted: "The people in the court are just different from the places where you serve, how can we be superior to you." And now we are borrowing your sailing ship, and we don't know the situation at sea, if we really encounter the weather or other accidents along the way, we are afraid that we will not be able to help at all, and we can only break through by obeying your orders Song Lao.

"If I don't make my words clear at this time, let my subordinates and myself put ourselves in the right position, I'm afraid that in the future, if I encounter an emergency, my subordinates will contradict you and delay the best time to deal with it, and it will be a matter of life for both of us."

Song Luyao listened to Ah Brown's words in his ears, and couldn't help but show a look of relief.

He went to sea with the fleet at the age of twelve, and it has been more than half a century now, what kind of people have not dealt with, some rich businessmen rely on their own money, and they often consciously retreat after knowing that they are not moved by money, but the most tricky thing is that many high-ranking officials and nobles of the imperial court, because of their self-righteous status, they call the old man to coerce and lure, but they are often stubborn at the moment of crisis, and finally send themselves to danger.

And the young man in front of him, sitting in the second position of the six doors, with their means, what purpose can't be achieved, what can't be obtained? But he is willing to borrow his fir as an ordinary person. Originally, Song Luyao secretly speculated that he just wanted to get his own ship in the most convenient way, and then make his words clear when he set off, and take away his command.

Now it seems that this person is a far-sighted and calm person, which is really rare in the current Dongyuan Imperial Court.

Although he thought so in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at the group led by Tang Yinhao, but saw that everyone was either surprised or unconvinced, and naturally knew that he could not directly agree to be fully responsible, so he smiled and said: "The situation at sea is naturally familiar to me and the crew, but it is absolutely impossible for several of you court officials to listen to us." It is better to leave all navigation matters to me in the future, and other matters such as the choice of routes, food and daily life, all matters are left to the adults. I wonder how? ”

Hearing this, Ah Brown looked up at Song Lao, and then showed a shallow smile.

Before, he was a little worried that Song Lao would not dare to answer his words because of the six doors, but now it seems that he is too worried. At this time, Song Lao's words not only took over the overall work after entering and going to sea, but also made his subordinates have to obey his command on the way to the sea; and skillfully gave up the captain's name, returned this false position to himself, and gaged the brothers' mouths, so that even if the people below were not convinced in their hearts, they could only endure it.

In this way, the person who controls himself by his own name is a thing that he never thought of killing two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, this Song Luyao is not only proficient in water, but also has a lot of experience in management and negotiating with people, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he really didn't choose the wrong person.

Thinking like this, Ah Brown responded to Song Luyao's proposal, turned around and said a few words to the others, and then ordered them to disperse.
