"Big brother, whose letter is it?" Qi Niang wanted to know who Li Xiu saw today, but she didn't expect someone to send a strange letter suddenly, and she also found that when Li Xiu saw the letter, the expression on her face also changed, which also made her even more curious.

Li Xiu did not answer Qi Niang's words, but immediately pulled out the content of the letter, and then opened it to read it, but when he saw the content of the letter, his brows couldn't help frowning, because only a few words were written on the letter: Jiangbei Wharf, Yulong.

Jiangbei Wharf is the largest and most prosperous wharf in Yangzhou where Li Xiu went today, and the Fish Dragon is obviously the name of a boat, which also made Li Xiu immediately guess the other party's intentions, only to see him turn his head and say to Qi Niang at the moment: "Qi Niang, don't go anywhere if you stay here, I may come back later after a trip!" ”

"It's dark outside, where are you going, big brother, and who wrote to you?" Qi Niang grabbed Li Xiu at this time and asked, this is Yangzhou and not Chang'an, she naturally didn't worry about letting Li Xiu go out at night, and after receiving such a mysterious letter, she was even more worried.

"This ......" Li Xiu didn't know whether to tell Qi Niang the truth or not, and he also showed a hesitant expression at the moment.

"Big brother, I'm already an adult, don't treat me as a child anymore, just tell me if there's anything, hiding it from me will only make me more worried." Qi Niang saw Li Xiu hesitating, and spoke again at the moment.

Hearing Qi Niang say this, Li Xiu finally nodded after pondering for a while, and then handed the letter in his hand to Qi Niang and said, "It's an uncle's letter, he asked me to meet at the pier today!" ”

"Uncle?" Qi Niang was stunned for a moment when she heard this title, and then she reacted, and then said with a shocked face, "Big brother, are you talking about the uncle in the Americas, why did he suddenly appear in Yangzhou?" ”

"I don't know about this, it is said that the fleet of the Americas should not have returned, and Uncle should not appear in Datang, and even if he comes back, Brother Eleven should have sent someone to inform me, but I didn't receive any news beforehand." Li Xiu said with a puzzled expression at this time.

"Big brother, there is no signature on this letter, how can you be sure that it is uncle?" At this moment, Qi Niang suddenly found that the name was not written on the letter, and she couldn't help but ask very strangely.

"Uncle's handwriting is very special, ordinary people can't imitate it at all, I knew it was him when I saw the words on the envelope just now, and you see that the ink on the letter has just dried, obviously it has just been written, so it must be that the uncle is back." Li Xiu pointed to the handwriting on the letter at this time.

However, Li Xiu thought at this time that in recent years, as the bearded guest has grown older, he has rarely gone to sea in person, and usually stays in the Americas to retire, and the fleet is led by some henchmen.

"Since the uncle is here, what are you still avoiding me, brother, I will follow you to see the uncle!" Qi Niang said again at this time, although their brother and sister have a bad relationship with their father Li Jing, they still have a lot of respect for the bearded guest, not to mention that Zhang Shiyi is still Qi Niang's business partner, and the two are also like brothers and sisters in private, so no matter which way you look at it, she has a reason to personally visit the bearded guest who came from afar.

Hearing that Qi Niang was going to go with him, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a hesitant expression, but after thinking about it carefully, Qi Niang should indeed meet the bearded guest, after all, she also needs to take the bearded guest's ship if she wants to go to the Americas, and the last time the bearded guest wrote a letter to himself, it was for the sake of Qi Niang and Chengdao, so Li Xiu suspected that the bearded guest came to Datang in advance, and it was likely to be related to this matter.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can take you there, but you are also obedient, and you should be respectful when you see the uncle, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've seen my uncle, my uncle liked me at the beginning!" Qi Niang didn't care about it, and it didn't seem that she took Li Xiu's advice to heart at all.

Seeing Qi Niang's appearance, Li Xiu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and asked people to prepare the carriage at the moment, and then sent someone to say hello to Li Ke, so as not to worry him, of course he just said that he had something to go out, and did not say anything.

At that moment, the brother and sister got into the carriage, and then went out of Wu Wangfu to the direction of Jiangbei Wharf, Jiangbei Wharf was outside the city, at this time it was already dark, if it was placed in the past, it would definitely not be able to get out of the city, but with the lifting of the curfew in Chang'an, the curfew in some big cities also began to be released, especially Yangzhou is in charge of Li Ke, his biggest ideal is to build Yangzhou into a prosperous city like Chang'an, so the curfew in Yangzhou at this time has also been lifted.

With the lifting of the curfew, the night in Yangzhou City also began to become brilliantly lit, especially in the south, the weather is hot, the night is cooler than the day, the result is that the night is more lively than the day, the street is full of people, and there are all kinds of vendors on both sides of the street, and Li Xiu also found that there are officials wearing uniforms on the street from time to time to patrol, so that the security has also been guaranteed.

When he went out of the city, he encountered a strict check-in, but this was also normal, Li Xiu did not reveal his identity, he just accepted the check-intake like an ordinary person, and then went straight to Jiangbei Wharf out of the city.

After a while, Li Xiu's carriage came to the Jiangbei wharf, compared to the bustling city in the city, this busy wharf during the day is quiet at night, only a few hurried cargo owners still let some coolies move and unload the goods, and there are also a lot of torches next to the lighting, other than that, the rest of the place is dark.

Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little worried, because there were too many ships docked on the dock, and he could ask people during the day, but he couldn't see it at night, how could he find the Ichthyosaurus on the letter?

But just when Li Xiu was worried, he suddenly saw that among the dark ships, there was a different boat, because although this ship did not load and unload goods, but it was also lit with lights, which made Li Xiu also happy, and hurriedly let people come to this ship in a carriage, but under the illumination of the lights, you can see the three big characters written in paint on the bow of the ship.

found the Ichthyosaurus, Li Xiu also hurriedly rode with Qi Niang, and then came to the front of the boat to prepare to get on the boat, there were already people waiting on the side of the boat, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately stepped forward and said, "May I ask the guest who should be paid?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Xiu nodded and said, but he was a little suspicious at this time, because he had seen most of the people around the bearded guest, although he couldn't name them, but he would definitely feel familiar, but the person in front of him was very faceless, but thinking that the letter was indeed written by the bearded guest, this made him feel at ease again, and then boarded the boat with the other party.
