Chapter 754: Taiping
Never mentioning the matter of the free faction, he ordered someone to serve a few side dishes, and chatted with Xiao Jiulang to shorten the distance. Xiao Jiulang knew his thoughts, and he didn't break these keys, but after a few cups, the two of them became much more friendly.
Xiao Jiulang's own understanding of the Xiaoyao faction has just begun, so naturally there is nothing to say, not to mention that the master has explained some more, and it is impossible to talk about it, so he talked about his interesting things in the business world.
It's also an interesting person, he followed his uncle in the Xiao family when he was more than ten years old, and he has gone to a lot of places in the Central Plains over the years.
Because he heard that Xiao Jiulang's ancestral home is the Xiao clan of Wujin Lanling, Ma Yun was even more surprised and coincidental, it turned out that the ancestral home of his owner Xiao Zhen was also the Wujin Lanling Wang clan. Xiao Jiulang has no need to deceive Ma Yun, because his ancestor was born in Lanling, and it was only in the first year of the former dynasty that he migrated to Fujian and took up the post of local assassin, and in the hands of Xiao Jiulang's grandfather, he slowly declined.
Ma Yun enthusiastically instructed to go down and let Su Hou and Xiao Jiulang prepare a cabin for two people in the cabin on the first floor. Xiao Jiulang was a little gracious and difficult to accept, no matter what happened at this moment, the intimacy between the two people had reached the extreme.
This meal was eaten all the way to Shizhong Mountain at the mouth of Poyang Lake, although it was not too late, but because it was about to enter the Yangtze River, if the ship was not repaired here, it would be necessary to sail the Yangtze River at night. As a merchant cargo ship of a large commercial house, if it is not an urgent matter, it will naturally not take this risk, so Ma Yun ordered the ship to dock and anchor for repair.
Although it is said to be docking, in fact, there is still some distance from the real shore, which is also the rule of guest parking in other places. First, it is for the safety of people and goods on board, and secondly, it is also to avoid unnecessary trouble in different places.
Xiao Jiulang thanked Ma Yun, and went out to find Su Hou to go into the cabin to rest together. Seeing Su Hou leaning on the side of the cabin to enjoy the scenery of Shizhong Mountain, Xiao Jiulang went over to talk to Su Hou about Ma Yun's kindness. Su Hou didn't care about these details, praised Xiao Jiulang's communication, and didn't forget to make a few jokes about Xiao Jiulang's meal.
But he didn't see the people of the Yin family, Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan, Su Hou seemed to see Xiao Jiulang's expression, so he told Xiao Jiulang that those people had gone into the cabin. Although Xiao Jiulang was not too careful, he still inquired about the status of Old Madam Yin, but Su Hou shook his head slightly.
Looking at Su Hou's expression, Xiao Jiulang guessed that the old lady Yin was not in a good state, so he didn't say anything. came to the cabin prepared by Ma Yun with Su Hou, and Su Hou was very satisfied with the cabin, especially on the small table in the cabin, there was still a pot of rice wine and three dishes of side dishes. Even Su Hou, who didn't care, couldn't help but praise Ma Yun a few words.
Xiao Jiulang was surprised to find that although his uncle was drinking, he had only taken a sip for a long time. It was the wine prepared by Ma Yun, and he took a sip of it. Xiao Jiulang saw that Su Hou was not difficult to get along with, so he asked Su Hou the reason with a smile.
Su Hou glanced at Xiao Jiulang and said in a low voice: "When we meet for the first time, do you feel that Uncle Shi is not interesting enough?" Didn't give you a greeting gift? ”
Xiao Jiulang immediately shook his head like a rattle, even if he had this idea in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, not to mention looking at Su Hou's demeanor, he was not such a person. I received the piece of jade from the master, and it should be worth a lot of money depending on the master's demeanor. Although Uncle Su Hou didn't give him a gift, it was also a normal thing.
Who knew that Su Hou arrogantly took out the old gourd in his baggage again, shook it at Xiao Jiulang and said, "The wine in this gourd was prepared ten years ago, and I only drink it once a day, and I only drink one sip at a time. I filled it with only half of it, and now the big jar of wine that was served together back then was the last one. He looked a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jiulang paused for a moment, looking at Su Hou a little embarrassed, he drank several sips of this pot of wine, no wonder Su Hou snatched it later, and let himself drink the other wine gourd, it must be aged and good!
"This is not just an ordinary good wine, but a medicinal wine brewed with more than a thousand years of heavenly and earthly treasures, specially used to restore vitality and improve meridians. Tell me if it's a baby! Su Hou seemed to remember something, quietly looking out of the cabin window, but his tone carried a trace of evocative reminiscence.
Xiao Jiulang is not a fool, although he has not cultivated a profound True Qi, he has also opened up the foundation of cultivation because of chance. Hearing that he had received such a big benefit, he was grateful to Su Hou and a little embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't know how to take a few sips.
Su Hou seemed to see Xiao Jiulang's uneasiness, and signaled that Xiao Jiulang didn't have to care, so he said that Xiao Jiulang was more appetizing to himself, otherwise he wouldn't let him take a few sips. Xiao Jiulang hurriedly thanked Su Hou for his attention, but Su Hou told him with a smile that if he didn't drink, he would give a gift to Jinling, but now he didn't.
Xiao Jiulang didn't care either, but he smiled tacitly with Su Hou. The two of them were chatting here, but they heard a voice coming from outside the cabin, and Su Hou motioned for Xiao Jiulang to open the window and take a look. After Xiao Jiulang pushed it away, he saw Ma Yun standing outside, talking to someone in a small boat in the water.
The sky gradually darkened, Xiao Jiulang couldn't see the people in the boat clearly, but he heard the voice of Ma Yun chatting with the man, it didn't seem to be a person, asking if the boat was going to Jinling. Xiao Jiulang was worried about his master, and faintly heard what the man was talking about the Fa-rectification sect, and couldn't help but look at Su Hou who was already sitting on the wooden bed.
Su Hou didn't speak, and still said that Xiao Jiulang didn't have to be nervous, they were two disciples of the Fa Rectification Sect who wanted to take a merchant cargo ship to Jinling City. It seemed that Su Hou didn't put the other party in his eyes, so Xiao Jiulang didn't squeak.
After a while, the lights on the shore turned on one after another, and Xiao Jiulang walked outside. Ma Yun was still standing on the deck outside, and was a little happy to see Xiao Jiulang come out, pointing to the shore and telling Xiao Jiulang that this is the town of Shizhongshan, and the Yangtze River estuary is across the lake, and the mountain opposite is the famous Lushan.
Xiao Jiulang naturally couldn't see the stretching mountains clearly, but when he saw the brilliant lights on the shore, he felt a little more at ease. Because there are not only brilliant lights, but also faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, a peaceful scene.
But is the world too peaceful?
