The wind and rain are at the beginning of the break, and the night wind is gusting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sea had calmed down, quiet as a sleeping child, and the raging wind and waves just now seemed to be a naughty prank, and now tired, sleepy, and tired, and returned to its usual tranquil and serene appearance.
"I'm not mistaken, you have a unique talent for long weapons." In the back cabin, Yuan Hongdao smiled at Sun Yueling, who had changed into a clean body.
Sun Yueling remembered yesterday's battle, and he was still frightened, but he lay on his stomach for three days before he recovered his spirit, and said: "It's really dangerous, I just rely on one breath to support, and the body and claw skills of the monkey are too unpredictable." ”
"It's already very rare that you can make the monkey beat you, after all, you have only a short time to practice this stick method." Yuan Hongdao's expression became serious, and said, "But you must not be complacent, you can have such a feat, it is completely by virtue of the wind and rain brought about by the sudden change in the weather on the sea, which is exactly in line with the gist of this set of stick methods, so as to win the first opportunity, if in normal times, it is estimated that you will not be able to go through a hundred moves in his hands." ”
Sun Yueling said: "I should rely on the favorable environment to fight with him, right?" Thinking that the situation should be like this at that time, it was with the favorable environment and unexpected fighting methods that he won the opportunity, but he was still in danger everywhere, and in the end, he was beaten with a copper stick under the full counterattack of the monkey, and it seems that he still has a long, long way to go in the martial arts.
Yuan Hongdao nodded and said, "The Sealing Demon Stick Method focuses on the fusion environment, and that day happened to be a violent storm, lightning and thunder, so that you can give full play to the potential in your body." ”
Sun Yueling said: "I felt that I was about to merge with the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, so I couldn't help but use that stick, and I was surprised when I thought about it afterwards, maybe it was just a fluke, I don't feel it at all now." ”
Yuan Hong said: "That stick is indeed the hand of God, but you can have such an achievement, it is enough to make everyone look at you with admiration, the old man believes that if you learn all the seventeen sticks of this seal, if there is a fight in the rivers and lakes, I dare not guarantee that you will kill the enemy, but it is more than enough for self-preservation." ”
Sun Yueling hurriedly expressed his gratitude and took the opportunity to say, "Please ask Yuan Protector to teach me the twelfth stick." ”
Yuan Hongdao smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”
Then he began to explain to him the twelfth stick, these twelve sticks are much more complicated than the eleventh stick, and it is even more difficult to learn, Yuan Hongdao explained for more than an hour, he was ignorant and understood, but many places are still vague and difficult to understand, and his heart is slightly anxious.
Seeing him like this, Yuan Hongdao said: "Don't worry, take your time, the more this stick technique is in the back, the more difficult it is to learn, and the power of the last few moves is also very powerful, you have to ponder it slowly and carefully understand it." ”
Sun Yueling nodded, he had to take his time, he really didn't expect that the more he went to the back, the more complex and difficult the changes in the moves of the stick method became, and it was always unexpected or difficult to figure out the change of the stick, which was simply difficult to do.
Originally, he was not very anxious, but the day of landing was approaching, if he couldn't learn all the seventeen magic sticks, why did he go to the Jingshi? Ding Mengyao slapped him on the chest, and it seemed that there was still a faint pain, if he couldn't learn all this set of stick techniques, it was unknown whether he could defeat this demon woman.
He can't take this boat to follow Yuan Hongdao back to Sichuan, how can it be good now, Sun Yueling had a headache when he thought of this.
After two days, the merchant ship finally arrived at the wharf outside the city of Dengzhou, where it docked and unhooked.
Sun Yueling looked at the crowd of people coming and going on the wharf, and thought that this Dengzhou Mansion Wharf really deserves to be a national port, which is better than the Nanjing Wharf, there are many sailboats in the river bay, and there are ships of all sizes, including merchant ships, official ships, war ships, etc., and the wharf is even more crowded with people, porters, porters, business travelers, etc., and all kinds of convoys carrying goods, grain, etc., come and go endlessly.
It was close to noon that the vendors who received the goods prepared the loading wagons and hired porters to carry boxes and boxes of silk cloth from the warehouses and load them onto the wagons.
Sun Yueling also helped the people of Baishi Mountain City unload the goods, and in less than an hour, the entire ship of goods was carried out.
Everyone was very happy that they had finally successfully completed the mission. The Shandong vendors who came to pick up the goods took Zhang Yunbiao's hand and apologized repeatedly, saying that it was too late to come, and that it was necessary to invite people from Shancheng to dinner at noon.
Manager Zhang didn't shirk either, after all, he was a guest from afar, and the other party was so gracious, how could he shirk it.
Then everyone got out of the boat, hired a few cars, got into them, and headed for the city. Wang Mang pulled Sun Yueling and asked him to go with him, but Sun Yueling couldn't refuse, so he had to go with him to mix this meal and fill his hunger, after all, he hadn't eaten a good meal for many days.
When he arrived at a restaurant in the city, he saw that several tables of banquets had already been placed, and he followed Wang Mang to sit down at a table under the chairman, only to see Zhang Yunbiao, Chu Xinying, Yuan Hongdao, Ye Gongbing and several other people with prominent positions in the mountain city were invited to the main table, and they were accompanied by a few people from the Shandong vendors.
And the table he sat on, in addition to Wang Mang, there were Yang Lin, Splash Monkey and others, and there was a representative of the Shandong trader side to preside.
After a short time, the wine and food were served like flowing water, and after the Shandong vendors at the main table got up and said polite nonsense such as "hard work from afar" to everyone, everyone began to eat and drink.
For a while, several tables of banquets were staggered, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, Sun Yueling hadn't eaten anything good for several days, the dishes on this table were oily, water, fat, and fat, as well as fresh water such as mussels, shrimp and squid, which made him salivate, and he ate and drank violently at the moment.
Unable to withstand the persuasion of the master of Shandong, after he drank a few glasses of wine, he heard Zhang Yunbiao on the table in front of him suddenly say loudly: "What, the waterway is blocked, the goods are robbed, what kind of person is so bold?" ”
When they heard him say this, they all looked in that direction.
Zhang Yunbiao saw that everyone had looked over, waved his hand, signaled that it was okay, and asked everyone to continue eating and drinking.
Sun Yueling happened to be sitting not far from them, only to hear Yuan Hongdao say: "It doesn't make sense, since the Longqing Dynasty reopened the sea ban, it has long been cut off, and the Japanese shogunate even forbade the vassals to go to sea. In my opinion, it may be that some pirates are actually robbing in the name of robbers. ”
I heard Chu Xinying's voice say again: "Since this is the case, then we have to return empty." ”
But Zhang Yunbiao snorted coldly and said, "Empty ship returning? This is a precedent, something that has never happened in White Rock Mountain City for me. ”
Then they talked a little more one after another, but because of the noisy crowd, he did not fully understand, so he asked Wang Mang, "Why did your ship go back with goods when it returned?" ”
Wang Mang said: "Of course, every time we sail to Dengzhou, we bring silk brocade and satin, and then buy some special products from Shandong merchants such as ginseng, medicinal materials, mink skin, etc., and ship them back, and we can sell them at a good price after arriving in Sichuan. ”
As soon as he said this, Sun Yueling suddenly understood a lot, and in connection with what he just said, the goods were robbed and returned empty, guessing that it might be that the goods purchased by Shandong merchants from outside the customs were robbed by thieves on the sea route, and the old capital was lost, so there was no goods to sell to them.
According to what he heard, Chu Xinying seemed to plan to return directly, but Zhang Yunbiao didn't think so, he didn't want to go back empty-shipped, after all, returning empty-ship was something that had never happened before, and he didn't want to break the ring in his hands, this was not a glorious thing.
But now, if you want to have this batch of goods, don't you have to go directly to the customs to buy them, and then sail to Liaodong?
Thinking of this, I sighed, sure enough, business is full of unknown risks, and it is not so easy to do.
After eating, a group of them were arranged to rest in the best inn in the local area, these days of running on the sea, it was really a little tired, Sun Yueling fell asleep on the bed, and slept until it was dark before waking up.
He wiped his face casually, thinking to himself whether he should go and say goodbye to Chu Xinying and them? He only learned twelve sticks from his seventeen sticks, and there are still five sticks that he hasn't learned, so it's a little unwilling to leave like this if he doesn't learn them all, but he is very worried about Mu Wan in his heart, and he always wants to fly to Beijing with wings.
Thinking about it, it is difficult to decide.
Later, thinking of Mu Wan's sad demeanor when he parted and the many favors he had on weekdays, he was ruthless, and he went to Yuan Hongdao and Chu Xinying to say goodbye, after all, Mu Wan had a true affection for him, and he missed her very much, but I don't know how she is doing now, is her life in Beijing very depressed?
When he went out, he saw Wang Mang coming to him, calling him and telling him to go to dinner together.
Sun Yueling said: "Brother Wang, I am ready to go and say goodbye to your chief manager, thank him for taking care of me these days." ”
Wang Mang said: "What, you are planning to leave, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Sun Yueling smiled bitterly: "I can't help it. ”
Wang Mang smiled: "I'm afraid I miss the beauty, the pool in Beijing is very deep, you must be careful when you arrive." ”
Sun Yueling said: "Don't worry, I will be careful." ”
Wang Mang sighed: "It's a pity, if you follow us, you can still go to Liaodong to play, maybe you can bring a North Korean woman back, haha......"
Sun Yueling was surprised: "What, you really decided to go to Liaodong?" ”
"Yes, this is the decision of Mr. Zhang." Wang Mang nodded and said, "This afternoon, they discussed for a long time before this matter was settled, I heard that Yuan Protector and Miss Chu did not agree, and they quarreled with Mr. Zhang, and then Mr. Zhang came down and said that this trip must be made, otherwise it will break the rules in our mountain city for many years, and we must not return empty." ”
After speaking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
