Chapter 59: Fenglingdu
"The sun is twilight, and the jade is facing Jiang Xian! When you meet a lover at Fengling Ferry, talk about wine! Millions of wolves ride to cross, and the Condor takes the lead with a sword! A song of the west wind is fierce, breaking the enemy and talking and laughing! "I can't help but get into the fun.
"Good poetry, good poetry!" Ji Wuling immediately agreed.
"Brother Wuling, my poems are average, but the name of this Fenglingdu reminds me of the legend of a certain Condor Hero!" I know that Ji Wuling doesn't understand what I said, and probably only the old irons who have read Jin Yong's famous book The Condor Heroes understand that Fenglingdu is the place where Guo Xiang met Yang.
"Childe's poems are majestic and heroic, but he is a soldier in the army?" The bow man asked.
"Look at the old man's strong body and flying boats, he should be a veteran of a hundred battles! I'm too young to be in the barracks! It's just that I also admire the sergeants who defend the country wholeheartedly! I smiled.
"Haha, what the little minister said is true, the old man also drove across the northern Xinjiang and fought fiercely with the Xuanming Caokou! It's a pity that the enemy chief has not been destroyed, and I am old! Returning to my hometown with a scar, my fellow villagers who fought bloody battles of life and death had no one to pity the old man, so I had to make a living on this boat! The captain said excitedly.
"It turned out to be a hero of my empire! Boy Su Yipin is disrespectful! Dare to ask the old hero Daimyo? "I salute solemnly, in my previous life, I also dreamed of joining the army to serve the country, but unfortunately I missed it.
"Brother Yipin, he is just an old man, what are you doing so politely with him? If these old oilers don't contribute to the battlefield, they will brag in the rear, and once they are engaged, they will run the fastest! "Ji Wuling has also been on the battlefield.
"Brother Wuling!" I glared at Ji Wuling.
"You jade-faced doll, dare to underestimate the old man, let you know how powerful I am!" The captain picked up the penny and called.
Ji Wuling caught it easily, and the captain wanted to move again, but found that he couldn't move a single bit.
"Old man, I have also been on the battlefield in the northern frontier, and I have personally killed the Marquis of Wanhu of the Xuanming Empire, so don't blow the atmosphere in front of me!" Ji Wuling shouted, the army has always spoken by strength.
"Good offspring! If I were your age, I wouldn't have what you can do! I won't be carrying you, not far ahead is Fenglingdu, please get off the boat! The captain was furious.
"Wuling, get out of the way! Old hero, if you are dozens of years younger, you should not be inferior to my friend, they are all great heroes who defend the country, why do you want to bury each other? Su Ping, give the old man money for the boat! I also have a pot of flaming spring here, if the old man can answer me a few questions, you can give it away! ”
I smiled, and as soon as I got on the boat, I smelled the old man's wine.
"Flaming Spring?" The captain licked his tongue: "Xianggong, excuse me!" ”
"How long has the old man been ferrying people in the Fenglingdu area?" I asked.
"Calculate the time, I'm afraid it's been twenty years!" The old man said.
"Old man, have outsiders come to this Fenglingdu recently? I'm not talking about the people of my Feihong Empire! I asked.
The old man began to hesitate, I don't have a good heart, most of the foreigners really mixed in.
"Su Ping, pour a full cup of Flame Spring for the old man!" I shouted at Su Ping.
"Sure enough, it's Flame Spring! Wine! The old man threw up his neck and drank it all.
I looked at the old man respectfully.
"Little Xianggong, there are indeed a lot of aliens here recently, although their outfits are no different from ours, but the blue of their eyes can't be hidden, the old man fought to the death with the Xuanming Empire back then, and he won't forget the appearance of the enemy when he dies!" Fair enough.
"It's a pity, even if you were a hero back then, now you're a bear! When you encounter a foreign race, don't go to investigate, don't go to the government to report, aren't you afraid that these people are sneaking in spies, specially designed to harm my people in Feihong? Ji Wuling said excitedly.
"Shut up! Back then, I was loyal to my country, but I came back with nothing! Even if there is a mysterious spy, what does it matter to me? As long as they give money as usual, whoever gives us money can live anyway, and I can also play stupid, old man! We are not treasonous! The captain was furious.
"Don't get excited, old man, have you ever noticed where these people are more concentrated? There are too many foreigners here, if it is an ordinary business trip, if it is a spy, the Feihong villagers you desperately protect will be in trouble. I said.
"Xianggong, these people are very vigilant, and the old man's physical strength can't keep up with them, not to mention that I don't want to follow! There is a temporary market in Fenglingdu, where there are business travelers who specialize in selling news, you might as well go there and check it out! "The captain stopped the boat.
"Su Ping, leave the wine to the old man! Leave! "The three of us disembarked.
"Wuling, what's wrong with you today? How to target an elderly person everywhere? I frowned.
Ji Wuling's eyes were red: "You don't know how hateful these veterans are, they taught us recruits to be brave, when we attacked desperately, they were retreating, how many recruits died under their slogans?" Their self-depravity is hateful! ”
"Well, there must be something hateful about the wretched! Let's put it down for the time being, everyone is retired, so why bother? Su Ping, is the inn ready? I asked.
"It's at the Fenglingdu Inn, this is the housing token, I know the bazaar that the old man said, but I really don't know if anyone sells news!" Su Ping said.
"You're so smart, you can always ask!" I laughed.
"I don't know what news Childe wants me to inquire about?" Su Ping asked.
"There should be a bit of a lot of aliens who come to listen to the meaning of the old man, so many alien crossings should have caravans to cover, the Xuanming Empire mainly produces beef, mutton and animal skins in our country, you go to inquire about the leather caravans that have appeared here recently, I have to know more than ten people!" I say.
"This can be asked by looking at the furriers in the bazaar, is there anything else?" Su Ping said.
"The Xuanming Empire is colder than our country, and they also like our country's spirits, go and see if there are any orders for spirits ordered in large quantities! Besides, these people are likely to be the advance team, and if they learn of the arrival of the prince of our empire, most of them will also think of ambushing and making meritorious contributions! I laughed.
"It's impossible for these fur traders to bring weapons into the country, right?" Ji Wuling still has confidence in the border defense.
"So, I want to contact the tooth merchants here, if these Xuanying people want to do it, most of them will find the tooth merchants to customize weapons!" I laughed.
"Second Young Master, you gave me so many tasks at once!" Su Ping was dumbfounded.
"I'm not an official now, and I have limited manpower, so I have to use you as one of ten, do it well, and when you are majestic in the future." I was speechless.
"These things are no problem, Second Young Master, you are a genius, and I am not stupid! It's this! Su Ping rubbed his fingers.
"Bastard, dare to ask me for money? You don't want to live anymore? Don't you have three thousand taels of silver in your hand? "I know what this guy means.
"Second Young Master, this is what you said, I will rest assured to spend money boldly, don't you scold me for being extravagant again! You're busy, haha! "Su Ping ran fast.
