Liu Jing went out early the next morning.

After getting those two sentences, combined with the information gathered from the prodigals, she had a vague thought.

It's just that there are too many plans involved, and she has too few people and no money, so she must plan and plan carefully, no matter what, she must be foolproof.

When she was worried, she stayed at home and couldn't think of anything, so she was willing to take a walk outside, listen to the gossip of the listeners, and see what might be touched by the bustle and noise around her.

After walking around the street for an hour, Liu Jing was also hungry, so she went to the restaurant nearby and ordered a pot of mutton and a pot of wine. In this era, the diet is still very simple, people prefer to cook with Ding, and the things they eat are mainly mutton, cattle are important laborers, and they are not allowed to be slaughtered at all. As for green vegetables, it depends on the season, and in early spring, only a few wild vegetables can be eaten. However, wild vegetables are the food of the common people, and they can't get into the elegant hall of restaurants like Wu County.

Therefore, most of the guests in the whole class, like Liu Jing, ordered a portion of cooked mutton, and then ordered a few bottles of wine, and if there were many people, they added a cooked fish or something.

The mutton was tender and delicious, Liu Jing lowered her head and ate it in small bites.

She eats elegantly, and her appearance is even more handsome, which attracts many people to look at her.

Just then, there was a small commotion outside.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Jing raised her head.

I saw that the people in the street outside spontaneously crowded to both sides, leaving a wide road in the middle.

Behind Liu Jing, a voice muttered, "Which adult is on the street again?" ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and I saw two silver-armored knights, one left and one right, accompanied by an extremely handsome young man in black. They walked slowly, and the horse's hooves struck on the bluestone slabs with a crisp 'da-da-da' sound.

As soon as she saw the handsome guy, Liu Jing's eyes widened instantly, almost reflexively, and she leaned back and hid herself.

However, the man obviously wouldn't have thought that she Liu Jing was dining here, laughing and whispering to the two knights, while riding slowly.

Feeling that it was very quiet all around, a young man's curious voice sounded, "Who is that adult?" What a majestic look. ”

A middle-aged man stared at the handsome man in black and said, "He is a big man from Luoyang, and he is the eldest son of the Nanyang Deng family." Speaking of this, his voice was lowered, "Don't look at his young age, that method is powerful, there is no one who is not afraid of him who is rampant and domineering in Wu County on weekdays." Those people also gave him a nickname, 'King Deng Yan'. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Not only those people in our Wu County are afraid of him, but also those two fathers-in-law from the court are also polite to him." I heard that this person is a first-class figure in Luoyang, and he sent this small Wu County to handle a big case. ”

"But how can we have any big case in Wu County?"

"This uncle doesn't know what to do."

Listening to the conversation between the two in front of her, Liu Jing couldn't help but turn her head to look at Deng Jiulang again. At this moment, he had just walked past the door of the restaurant, and this man was sitting on a horse, with slender legs, a tall figure, and an extremely handsome face, like a knife and an axe carved out, but it revealed an indescribable grace. Yes, such a child of a great family who has flourished for a hundred years, what world has not seen it? Who hasn't met it? This kind of insight into everything, reflected on the surface, is the romance.

He exuded a strong momentum in a black robe, although he walked lazily like this, but his pure black eyes still had a domineering and noble aura in the occasional expectation.

Liu Jing was running around for her father's affairs all day long, and her heart was like a dry well, but at this moment, she was still dizzy by the beauty of this over-the-top beauty.

At this moment, as if sensing something, Deng Jiulang turned his head and looked in the direction of Liu Jing.

Seeing him turn his head, Liu Jing was startled, and she hurriedly leaned back and hurriedly avoided it. It took a moment for her to sneak in.

At this time, the guy outside finally left.

Staring at the back of the guy for a while, Liu Jing's heart moved, and she suddenly stood up. ]

hurriedly recruited a buddy, and after settling the account, Liu Jing hurriedly walked out.

When she returned to the house, she received two hundred taels of gold from her mother, and called some of her servants, and after a few words of this and so on, the servants were commanded to depart.

……

In the early spring evening, the fog was very large, and in the white mist, three large cargo ships slowly sailed.

Looking at the dock that gradually appeared in his field of vision, a beard walked out, and after looking at the Wujun dock in front of him for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Keep going." ”

"Yes." After one of the boatmen turned around and left, another young man came over, he also leaned on the bow of the boat, looked at Wu Jun for a while, and said in a low voice, "There should be no problem, right?" ”

The bearded man replied: "Gonggong Zhang agreed, there should be no problem." ”

The young man said, "Isn't there another King Deng Yan?" Hey, San Lang is also bold, knowing that King Deng Yan is here, he still wants to act in the limelight. If there is any accident with the cargo of these three ships, our Min Mansion will suffer a heavy loss this time. ”

The beard was also dissatisfied, and he shouted hatefully: "Phew! If it weren't for the insatiable greed of Father-in-law Zhang's eunuch, he wouldn't be able to fill it up, would San Lang be able to take risks like this? If he doesn't go back with this sum, Minfu will eat the northwest wind. After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, Gonggong Zhang said, he is staring at King Deng Yan." ”

The young man whispered, "But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? That King Deng Yan is so famous, his name of King Deng Yan has spread all over the four states in the south and southeast of the Yangtze River, and I heard that the people he has killed can dye the water of this Taihu Lake red, which is not a joke. ”

The young man stopped squeaking, he just looked ahead with worry.

The ship broke through the night fog and gradually approached the dock of Wu County.

Just then, a fishing boat came ahead.

The fishing boat came very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it rushed in front of the boats. The bearded man frowned and was asking, and on the fishing boat, a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face shouted urgently: "But Yang San? San Lang has an order, it will not be quiet on the dock tonight, and let you retreat to the Marquis of Yangtze Bay, which is twenty miles away. ”

"What?"

The beard and the young man were startled at the same time, and the young man's face turned white and he exclaimed, "What happened?" ”

The middle-aged man on the fishing boat replied: "It seems to be related to King Deng Yan." ”

What the? When the young man gasped, the beard, which was obviously much calmer than him, shouted, "You were sent by Saburo?" What about tokens? Is there a token? ”

The middle-aged man frowned, and was about to reply, when suddenly, another boat rushed out of the thick fog. This boat is also a fishing boat, and there are fishing nets on it.

On the fishing boat behind stood a thin young man wearing a hat, and under the gaze of everyone, the boy came through the waves and lifted the hat, revealing his pointed chin and the lower half of his face.

Raising his hat, the young man said in a sharp voice, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "You are the ship of the Min Mansion, right?" Our family is here to inform you by the order of Father-in-law Zhang that things have changed. You don't let you get busy with the shore, so you retreat somewhere to take refuge for the night. As soon as this voice came out, several people with beards thought at the same time: It turned out to be a little father-in-law.

Seeing their hesitation, the little father-in-law was furious, and he scolded sharply: "A bunch of fools! Let you retreat! Just a few dozen miles back, is there a piece of meat missing from you? ”

As soon as these words came out, I also wanted the little father-in-law to come up with evidence, but I was afraid that these eunuchs were weird and difficult to get along with, and they thought in their hearts: Yes, isn't it just a few dozen miles back? What's there to hesitate about? Thinking of this, the bearded man quickly turned around, and with a wave of the flag, several large cargo ships began to turn around slowly, and then, along the way they came, returned to ......

Taking advantage of the night fog, the big ship went fast.

Seeing the two fishing boats leave one after the other, the young man approached his beard and said, "Yang San, what are you going to do next?" Do you want to wait in Yangtze Bay as the man said? ”

The ship was very unsafe to sail in the fog at night, and if you couldn't see the front clearly, you would accidentally hit the reef or run aground.

The bearded man frowned and said, "Don't go to Yangtze Bay." Fifty miles ahead, isn't there a flat water pass? Just stay there for the night. ”

While the two were discussing, there was also a carriage galloping rapidly on the official road.

Seeing that there was no one around, the rider waved his horsewhip sharply, turned around and lowered his voice, and said to the carriage: "Da Lang, do you think that Yang San will wait in Yangtze Bay for a night?" ”

Liu Jing's elegant voice came from the carriage, "No." ”

"What did Da Lang say that?"

"Then Yang San is a cautious person, since you mentioned the Yangtze Bay, he will definitely not choose there. What he went to must be Pingshui Ao. Within this 100-mile range, only Pingshui Pass and Yangtze Bay can berth such large cargo ships. With such a fog tonight, they didn't dare to go out a hundred miles away, and second, they could stay closer, and they could also pay attention to the situation in Wu County at any time. Therefore, they can only choose Pingshui Ao. ”

Explaining this, Liu Jing said again: "Uncle Hou, they have already gone to Pingshui Ao to marquish ......"

The driver was stunned, and then he realized that his eldest man had already calculated everything.

He stayed for a while and praised: "Da Lang, you are even better than adults." You count that there is fog tonight, and sure enough, there will be fog! "If those people really stay in Pingshuiao, then their own Dalang is simply a god.

Liu Jing heard the words, but it was just a bone, she said lightly: "I have studied the five planets of yin and yang for many years, and I can't grasp too much, and this obvious celestial climate can still be seen." ”

Although she said it lightly, the husband already felt that she was quite powerful, and sighed there vigorously.

The carriage walked on land, and it could not match the speed of the ship, and when they came to Pingshui Pass, a servant came up from a distance, and when Liu Jing got out of the carriage, the servant whispered: "Dalang, the boat has arrived!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the pilot's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled with joy, "You mean, those three big cargo ships have arrived at Pingshui Pass?" ”

"Yes."

The husband immediately turned his head to look at Liu Jing, his eyes lit up, and he said with great admiration: "Da Lang is really like a god. ”

Liu Jing shook her head, but she felt that it was nothing. It's not that Yang San is someone else, and he will choose Pingshui Pass instead of Yangtze Bay designated by a stranger.

She instructed the rider to hide the carriage and put something in the horse's mouth so that its neighing could not be heard. Liu Jing said in a low voice as she walked: "Inform me and say that the hour is still early, let's sleep first." ”

"Yes."
