Chapter 22 Port of Texas (1)
Why is she here?
By the time Wang Jifei wanted to take a closer look, Ye Mei'er's figure had already disappeared into the crowd.
Wang Jifei remembered that the ship caught up with him at the mouth of the sea yesterday, so he ruled out the possibility of Ye Meier tracking him.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't found any trace of Ji Duan's father and son, but found Ye Mei'er, and it seemed that the plan was going to be changed slightly.
The sea was pitch black at night, the sea in the north wind rose and fell, Wang Jifei looked at the boat lights in the distance in front of him, looked down at the dark seawater, and jumped down with a "poof" while no one was paying attention.
The water is warmer than on the shore!
After sighing, Wang Jifei summoned the third crocodile and several of his junior brothers, and quickly chased after Ye Mei'er's passenger ship. When he landed on the deck, it was already dark, Wang Jifei quickly changed into clean clothes, and quickly got into a utility room of the passenger ship.
When the passenger ship was about to sail into the port of Texas, Wang Jifei had secretly searched the entire ship, but Ye Meier was never found. Estimating that Ye Mei'er was already disguised as other guests, Wang Jifei could only narrow down the scope of the search to the high-level guest rooms above the deck.
The price of the superior room is secondary, mainly because it is relatively clean. Wang Jifei believes that a woman like Ye Mei'er will never go to the Chase bunk below the deck to stay, and the various smells in it are definitely more terrible than a nightmare for a woman who loves cleanliness.
After getting off the ship first, Wang Jifei, who pretended to be a little seasick, carried a heavy box and leaned against a stone railing in the port, holding a small dark blue cloth hat in his hand and constantly flashing the wind to himself. Through the actual fan, he kept observing the guests coming down from the high guest room.
When the guests came down halfway, Wang Jifei saw a middle-aged rich woman wearing a light blue brocade jacket and a lake blue hat walking out. After careful comparison in his heart, Wang Jifei put on a small cloth hat, carried a heavy box in both hands, and followed behind the woman in the blue jacket with stops and stops.
After stopping and resting, he finally got out of the crowded port, and after Wang Jifei saw the woman in the blue jacket sitting in a carriage, he found an opportunity to release the imprint eagle.
Dezhou Port is located on the southeast coast of Lu State, there is a port first and then a city; that is, there are fishing boats going out to sea and passenger ships going from south to north, as well as tall and mighty tigers and heavily guarded warships. At this time, Wang Jifei lived in an inn, leaning against the half-open windows and looking at the adjacent courtyard.
There are three houses in the courtyard, and the woman in the blue jacket lives in it now. Looking at the carrier pigeons that kept coming and going in the sky above the courtyard, Wang Jifei sneered in his heart: "Since you are here to collect news, then collect some for me." ”
At nightfall, Wang Jifei came alone to the grove outside the city, where his Wind Eagle King had left the corpses of five carrier pigeons. After putting away the notes in the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, Wang Jifei directly buried these carrier pigeons in the soil.
After returning to the inn, Wang Jifei quickly read Ye Meier's letter. It turned out that Ye Mei'er followed Ji Duan's father and son to Lu Kingdom, and she suspected that the frog dragon scales were on Ji Duan's body.
I didn't expect Ji Duan to carry a pot for himself, this dragon scale has already been surnamed Wang! Ye Mei'er, you still honestly inquire about the whereabouts of Ji Duan's father and son for me!
After burning a few letters to ashes, Wang Jifei took out the box and continued to grind the ban. Because Ye Mei'er's sudden appearance has been delayed for two nights, she needs to work harder.
The dim lines were almost none, and the intermittent coercion had no sense of oppression, Wang Jifei waited until the prohibition on the surface of the box fell silent again, and once again crossed into a star force.
With a "click", the red box on the table popped open. Wang Jifei rubbed his hands with some excitement, after grinding for so long, it was finally done!
This box was smaller than the captain's box, and Wang Jifei didn't expect much from the things inside, but the first thing he got in his hands made his heart beat faster.
This is a Zhixing Stone. After opening it and taking a look, Wang Jifei knew that he had made a lot of money. Since the content of the Zhixing Stone is a spiritual power as the carrier to record information, Wang Jifei can understand the ancient text without any obstacles as long as he learns the content of this ancient Zhixing Stone.
In other words, this Zhixing Stone helped Wang Jifei save four or five years of time for studying ancient texts. With this ancient Zhixing Stone, Wang Jifei could quickly understand the four ancient leather books in his hand. If the captain's ring also has exercises, then he will be more developed.
Forcibly holding back the excitement in his heart, Wang Jifei began to check the other items.
Three books made of the same leather, a few star stones with little energy, and a lot of broken waste.
Slowly closing the lid of the box, Wang Jifei took out the ring left by the captain from his arms and slowly rubbed it. Counting this ring, he already has three spaces, and after having the gray space, these precious rings are a bit of a chicken rib, and Wang Jifei is ready to exchange these for other cultivation resources.
The prohibition on the captain's ring was more troublesome, and Wang Jifei estimated that it would take three or four months to open, and after grinding for a while, he rested.
November 14, fine.
Wang Jifei, who got up early in the morning, saw that Ye Mei'er was still in that courtyard from the window, and came to the Pharmacist Hall in Dezhou Port alone. After hearing the news he wanted, Wang Jifei returned to the inn with a bunch of medicinal herbs and bottles and cans.
Looking at the ups and downs of the carrier pigeons, Wang Jifei estimated that the news of Ji Duan and others would not come so quickly, so he decided to go to the auction house first.
The people from the Medicine Master Hall told Wang Jifei that there would be a medium-sized auction on the sixteenth of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow. As a port connecting the north and south, there will be many precious materials here, Wang Jifei is ready to dispose of the loot some time ago, and by the way, reserve some materials with wind and thunder attributes.
Walking into the palatial auction hall, a palace beauty greeted her warmly.
"Hello guests, I'm the steward here, Liu Cui. You can just call me Xiaocui. I wonder if you're going to auction something or if you want someone to have the treasure appraised?"
Hearing that the treasures could also be identified here, Wang Jifei had a thought in his heart and replied calmly.
"Both. ”
"That guest officer is here today, our old shopkeeper happens to be here today, and he will definitely be able to answer for you if there is any treasure. ”
"Your old shopkeeper?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Wang Jifei's face, the woman named Xiaocui said thoughtfully.
"Your guest has just come to our Texas port. The old shopkeeper of our Qingyun auction house is the famous old man Wei, and he must be honored as "Wei Yixiao" Wei Ye in the industry. His old man is really sharp-eyed, and there is nothing he can't see. Moreover, as long as the old man meets a good baby, he can't help but laugh out loud, and this is how the name of "Wei Yixiao" comes from.
"Oh, so I'm a coincidence today. I don't know if Miss Liu can introduce me for me. ”
"Distinguished guest, you are really a coincidence, today the old man is itchy hands, I want to see if there is any treasure. I'm worried about not having a baby that satisfies his old man. Guest, come with me. ”
"Oh, what if I don't have anything to make the old man laugh?"
"There's no way around that, I can only let the old man scold Xiaocui......"
With Xiao Cui's lotus steps moving slightly, Wang Jifei was taken into an antique room. The room was lit with refreshing incense, and an old man in a gray-bearded suit was facing away from the two, seemingly studying an antique on a table.
Hearing footsteps, the old man put down his things and turned around.
After Liu Cui invited Wang Jifei to take a seat, he opened his mouth to introduce. "Distinguished guest, this is our old shopkeeper Old Man Wei, if you have any questions, please ask, you are absolutely satisfied! You talk first, I'll make tea." ”
After Liu Cui went out, Wang Jifei saw that Wei Yixiao was looking at him, so he stood up from his chair and said. "The shopkeeper Wei is good, and his surname is Wang. Today there are a few things that I would like to entrust to your bank for auction. Hearing Steward Liu mention that the old man is here today, he cheekily disturbed the old man's quietness......"
"Hahaha, what is quiet and not quiet, the old man likes to be lively the most. Xiaocui's girl can bring you over, which means that you have a treasure on you. If I'm not mistaken, the ring on your hand is a good baby, ahahaha. ”
Hearing Wei Yixiao break the bottom of his ring at once, Wang Jifei was not annoyed, this was originally intended to be auctioned.
"The old shopkeeper is really sharp-eyed, and he really can't hide anything from your old man. It was after listening to the recommendation of Deputy Hall Master Zhang of the Medicine Master Hall that he came to the Qingyun Auction House, so it seems that he really came to the right place. ”
"Oh, you were introduced by that guy from Lao Zhang, so you are an alchemist!"
"Haha, I only know a little bit about it. ”
"Since it's an acquaintance's recommendation, then don't be too polite, let's be casual, I'll call you Xiao Wang, how about it?"
"No problem, old shopkeeper. ”
"Alright, let's not be polite here, you can take out your baby. Don't let me down, Xiao Wang! Come here, hahaha......"
Seeing Wei Yixiao walk into the study on the side, Wang Jifei hurriedly got up and followed.
The room inside only had an elongated table and a cabinet full of various tools, and seeing that Shopkeeper Wei was already sorting out the tools, Wang Jifei no longer hesitated and began to take things out one by one.
Seeing Wang Jifei taking the baby outside, Wei Yixiao took three steps and made two steps, pressed Wang Jifei's hand, and said softly. "Xiao Wang is not in a hurry, one by one, this appreciation of treasures, like accompanying a beauty, to be soft, to be slow, to be affectionate. ”
With that, the old guy ran outside and shouted loudly.
"Little Cui girl, don't come over quickly, there is a big baby. It takes so long to pour a cup of tea......"
