In December 1280, the Jingwei finally arrived at the port of Misool on the Red Sea of Egypt.

What was a small fishing port with a population of less than 1,000 people a decade ago is now second only to Alexandria, the port of Alexandria in the Mediterranean Sea north of Egypt, and the population is said to have exceeded 300,000.

It provided a large amount of tax revenue for the Mamluk Empire, and the Archon of the Misur region once proudly said that the port of Misool paid nearly half the tax for the empire!

The Jingwei will stay in the port of Misool for about two months, and although the sea transportation is extremely cheap, it is also very taboo to ship in empty tanks.

Wallace parted with the old captain and boatswain------ it was a wonderful trip, but the distance was too short.

The old captain said hoarsely: "Two months, enough for you to rush back with your little lady, you kid is a good sailor by nature------ Alexandria Grand Port has the New Oriental Group's Liuqiu Clipper, it is easy to find a merchant ship to reach London." ”

Wallace smiled, he couldn't make a promise.

The boatswain laughed and said, "Let's see if there are any business opportunities over there, tell us if there is a chance to make a fortune, and let's make money together!" ”

Wallace had to shake his head, he didn't have any supplies there except for manpower, which the island needed.

The port of Misool is now known as Egypt's camel harbor------ and it seems that camels from all over Egypt have run here.

It can only be borrowed for transport between the port of Misool and the Cairo area, and only they can smoothly walk through the gravel terrain.

During the peak trade season, the area between Port Misool and Cairo seems to be filled with caravans!

The Mamluk government wanted to build a road between the two places, but due to the difficulty and cost of the project, it had to give up.

Wallace didn't hire camels, and the journey of two or three hundred kilometers was really nothing to him, and he easily walked for five or six days to reach the Cairo area.

Standing on the streets of Cairo, he was filled with emotion, he was bought in this city back then!

At that time, the price offered by the first trafficker was not as high as the second, only ten dinars short, and his life changed so much!

He really can't imagine what would happen if he was bought by someone first, would it be better than now?!

Is it man who manipulates fate or fate that manipulates man?!

A small thing can change your life, and you dare to say that you are the master of your own destiny------- how ignorant you must be to say such a thing.

Cairo's streets are also made of cement, and some of the main commercial streets have begun to have kerosene street lamps.

Without thinking about it, Wallace stayed in a merchant house run by a begging merchant------ New Oriental Group also had a trading station here, and the accommodation there was better, but judging from the exterior decoration of the four-story building, the price there was not something he could afford.

The boss of the merchant station looked at the Liuqiu citizenship certificate he took out and said, "Oh, you were a soldier? ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Killed a Tatar bandit?!"

"Yes, I've killed two ------"

"Good boy! Come and live, I'll give you half a discount! ”

"------ thank you, thank you."

The owner of the merchant station also opened a single room for him, a beautiful bed, clean white cotton sheets------ he lay down comfortably and slept for a long time, and then went to the street to take a bath and eat a big meal.

On the current commercial streets of Cairo, the Great Song merchants, the Liuqiu merchants, and even the small Japanese merchants have opened various shops, and Wallace is not conspicuous at all in his Liuqiu dress, and many locals are also dressed like him.

There were soldiers patrolling the streets, but no one tried to find out his identity.

Wallace had dinner at a restaurant owned by a merchant who was begging for dinner, and he ordered a stir-fried lamb, a seaweed egg drop soup, and a large bowl of rice.

He waited for the food to be served and ate it in a big gulp, and the taste he had not seen for a long time was much better than the food on the ship!

After eating, he had collected the money and walked along the banks of the Nile.

It is also becoming more and more prosperous, with an endless stream of pedestrians, people of all colors, and all kinds of clothes.

Wallace also saw two young ladies passing by, sitting in an open four-wheeled carriage, talking and laughing.

He looked at it seriously, well, it's beautiful------ may my Marianne Bradford live like this.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone on the Nile shouting for help.

He turned to look, and saw a small sailboat on the river more than a hundred meters away, one person was shouting in the boat, and the other was rising and falling in the river!

He didn't think much of it, took off his clothes and shoes, and threw himself into the Nile!

His swimming skills were top-notch in the stormtroopers------ but he felt that someone was catching up after him, swimming faster than him, and even overtaking him from behind!

The man approached the man first, and skillfully went around behind him, and at once he caught him by the arm, and swam with one hand to the little sailboat.

When Wallace arrived, they were already on board.

The man held out a hand to him and said, "Come up, friend!" ”

Wallace took his hand, and as soon as the man made a move, he got into the boat.

The guy who fell into the water was vomiting water on the boat, and the people who shouted for help kept patting him on the back------ it turned out that they were all a guy who begged for businessmen, and now they were on vacation, and they were bored and wanted to fish and play on the Nile, but they didn't expect a gust of wind to blow, and one of them fell into the water.

Wallace shook his head when he heard this, it's really good, he can't swim and dare to go on the boat to fish!

The man who saved them laughed and said, "You two boys can't even swim, how can you float across the ocean?!" ”

"Thank you very much, thank you very much, it's my Zhu family's family business, I have to follow the big ship here!

Dare to ask the righteous daimyo?! ”

The person who saved them still smiled and said: "My name is Li Ao, don't say that I am also a person from the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is a foreign race, it should be saved, no thanks!" ”

"Ah, the righteous man is a famous arms dealer here------ I've always heard of it, but I haven't seen a real person, what a good man!"

Li Ao waved his hand and said, "It's just a little business, it's not enough to worry about, let's put the sailboat ashore quickly." ”

Li Ao asked Wallace again, and in a few words, he was overjoyed to hear that Wallace had actually served in the white stormtroopers.

He said, "Ah, we're still teammates------ my name is Li Ao, I'm retired from the Marine Corps, I like to fiddle with guns, so I came here to do a little business!" ”

Stream Marines!

Wallace suddenly understood that this person was so athletic, no wonder!

Of course, he knew what kind of people the Marines were, so how could it be one out of ten, more than one out of twenty!

The muscles on Li Ao's body looked exceptionally strong in the sun, even stronger than him.

When they got to the shore, the two of them couldn't cry or laugh, and their clothes and shoes were stolen by thieves!

Li Ao reluctantly said to Wallace: "Cairo is good for everything, but there are many thieves, and I have lost my wallet twice------"

The two men asked them to wait on the boat, and they ran to buy clothes and shoes for their saviors.

When Li Ao learned that Wallace was going back to his hometown, he said happily: "Haha, it's just right, I'm about to go to Paris and London to find a business, and I am on the same road!" ”
