Several people waited for a long time, but they finally saw Dong Ce, and it was inevitable that they were a little worried.

"Lin Chao, is the protagonist here today? Make no mistake. Zhang Dagui said dissatisfied.

"That's right, this is not far from Jinling, and it will only take two or three days to run back and forth, maybe the rainy road is not easy to walk." Lin Chao muttered.

"Alas, I don't think it's better to wait, just let people take turns to watch, and the rest of the people should go into the house to keep warm, otherwise they will all freeze and get sick." After Kong Lican finished speaking, he entered the house first, who was the weakest.

The rest of the people thought about it, so Zhang Dagui arranged for a few young people to keep an eye on it, and everyone went into the house to warm up.

It's just that they don't know that at this moment, Dong Ce has already stepped on the ship to Jiangdao!

The reason why he didn't go to see Zhang Dagui and the others was just that he didn't want Lu Kexuan to know too much, besides, he could receive news here every day, even if there was any sudden situation in the past two days, it didn't matter if they didn't have time to report, it couldn't change that he wanted to go to the Xiaoyao Palace in person.

In the cabin, Lu Kexuan put the things on the table and said, "Soon I will arrive at Xiaoyao Island, this is a mask and a token, second brother, you take it." After they came out, the two discussed changing their names to be brothers.

Dong Ce picked up the sheep's head mask, glanced at the horse-faced mask in Lu Kexuan's hand again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sure enough, it's a beast kiln!" ”

"Ah, this ......" Lu Kexuan was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Twelve earthly branches, this is also the strange rule of Xiaoyao Palace, of course, you can wear it or not." ”

"That being said, their request is a bit of a perplexity!" Dong Ce's fingertips tapped the words on the center of the sheep's head mask and eyebrows.

These masks are distributed according to the age of the guests, which means that you can tell the age of the person from the mask!

Of course. The cycle of the sexagenary branch for sixty years repeats itself, and there are also people of different ages with the same mask. But this probability is too small, such as Dong Ce is about to reach the age of twenty. And one year older than him, he is naturally almost eighty years old!

If you put this year and months and are still in these places at this age, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back when you come!

Lu Kexuan didn't care, but seeing Dong Ce's somewhat cautious look, he couldn't help but be curious: "Could it be that there is a problem with this?" ”

"Big problem!" Dong Ce nodded, leaned back in the chair and said casually: "This is a way to investigate customer preferences, from the masks distributed, you can figure out what people like to play, so as to arrange these games for their entertainment." This Xiaoyao Palace Master is very business-minded! ”

"It's a good idea, but it shouldn't be a hindrance." Lu Kexuan was still puzzled.

"On the surface, this is so, but when I think about it, how difficult it is for such a careful person to deal with, I don't need to say!"

Only then did Lu Kexuan understand Dong Ce's concerns, indeed, they were not here for recreation, but to save Fang Shuwei!

Lu Kexuan still knows less. Dong Ce didn't tell Lu Kexuan what Qin Qi asked him to do, compared to this matter, if Lu Kexuan knew, he probably wouldn't have brought Dong Ce here!

No one wants to offend the scholars for no reason. Although let Lu Kexuan know that he would definitely withdraw immediately, and hurriedly dissociated himself from Yiyuan!

How cruel the struggle between the nobles was. Lu Kexuan had already witnessed it when he was a child, and thousands of heads fell to the ground. Among them, I don't know how many people are just because of some completely negligible trivial things. And implicated!

When the boat arrived at Xiaoyao Island, Dong Ce followed Lu Kexuan off the boat, looking at the two rows of men wearing hats and robes not far away, he frowned slightly, although he had already known that there were many garrisons above, but he didn't expect more than this, and they all looked serious, and they also stood straight in this cold winter and rainy day, obviously after a long time of training, they were by no means general.

"Let's go, second brother!" Lu Kexuan reminded him, and he walked side by side with Dong Ce towards the Xiaoyao Palace with a few Xiaoyao guests who were already wearing masks.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when Dong Ce saw the long-known Xiaoyao Palace, Rao was a man of two lives, and he couldn't help but be secretly speechless!

In front of others, his art garden can only be regarded as a scumbag with sesame seeds on the cake and rice grains under the moon, and his combat strength is less than five!

Xiaoyao Palace occupies a huge area, like a small town, the outer wall also goes straight after the city wall, and the inside is carved and painted, golden jasper tiles, and what is more amazing is that it is very lively! There are even some merchants from the Western Regions with deep eyes and high noses, curly hair, and exotic costumes.

"What? The second brother is interested in the big cannibal? Oh, that's right, your Dong family likes to contact them the most! Lu Kexuan said with a smile.

Dong Ce retracted his gaze and said casually: "I do know a few big cannibals and have done some small business, but I don't know when they will be able to bring the things I need." ”

Dong Ce woke up not long after he was in this world, and when he was well, he did use the connections of the merchant guild and some big cannibals to make a sound, but at that time, he just wanted to inquire about the development of the big food country, and let them go everywhere to help him collect some seeds.

Lu Kexuan said in a low voice: "The big food merchant seems to be loyal and kind, but in fact, he is better than a ghost in his heart, and he never does anything that has no benefit, if he really underestimates them, he doesn't know how to suffer a big loss!" ”

"Well, most of the jewelry they bring is third-rate goods, but they sell for first-class prices, although this is understandable, after all, it is unprofitable to go so far, who will come, but after having third-rate goods as a foreshadowing, when they take out second-rate first-class and even superb jewelry, the price is unimaginable!" Dong Ce once heard Liu Sanzhong say that a big food merchant used a string of ruby necklaces to exchange ten workshops from a scholar! Not only did they get a way to make a fortune, but they also got technical talents, and it is unknown whether they got these talents back to the big food country.

The two talked all the way, Dong Ce deliberately paid attention to the garrison in the Xiaoyao Palace, and before they knew it, the two had come to an attic, Lu Kexuan stopped and said: "This is it, just renting here for half a year, it cost three hundred yuan, and I can buy several buildings outside!" ”

"The money is not yours, what the hell do you care!" Dong Ce's tone was very unkind, because for him, this was doing something stupid, or stupid!

Originally, I just wanted to find a reason for Fang Shuwei to go home, but I didn't expect it to cost him as much as three thousand five hundred taels before and after! If it weren't for digging up the hidden silver of the Shanhe Society, he wouldn't have been able to take it out at all!

"I won't go in, you keep the token, otherwise if someone comes to check, you can't take it out and cause a big problem, tonight I will stay overnight at the inn outside the alley, and I will leave tomorrow, if there is something urgent, come directly to find my brother." After Lu Kexuan finished speaking, he made a farewell.

Dong Ce also bowed and said goodbye to Lu Kexuan.

After Lu Kexuan left, Dong Ce was still standing outside the door, looking at the attic in a daze, thinking about how to talk to the girl, suddenly, the door opened, and a tall and delicate body wrapped in the same black sheep fur as Dong Ce leaned against the door, and looked at his face, it was Fang Shuwei who had not been seen for many days!

As soon as the two looked at each other, Fang Shuwei hugged her shoulders with her hands, and this time her chest was more plump, and said lukewarmly: "Can't you come in?" (To be continued.) )
