Chapter 199: Suddenly there are many cargo ships moving forward

The fleet of Zhang Wang's two families went up against the mighty river, Li Xun's fleet followed closely, Li Xun ran to the main boat of Zhang Wang's two families to stay, and there were also old man Yao, old man Bi and old man Zhang, old man Liu brought the collected information.

It's not that the scenery is good from the boat of the Zhang family's house, the main thing is that it is the safest here, especially Li Xun, after being told that he might be sick, he still insists on walking together, and he usually follows Zhang Xiaobao when he can see Zhang Xiaobao, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will bring two doctors when they are busy.

After the fleet traveled for three days, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally found that something was wrong, and other ships joined the fleet of Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao from time to time on the road.

The fleet of Zhang Wang's two families was originally large, not to pave the scene, mainly because there were many people, plus there were many goods pulled, and they had already attracted the attention of others along the way.

On this sunny day, the river breeze was whistling, and when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took their younger siblings to fly kites, four more boats waiting next to them joined in with the procession.

"What do you mean? Infected by our charisma and ready to follow us? Wang Juan held clairvoyance and stared at the four ships without any flags and signs, and in a few days, twenty-two ships had been added, all of them were big ships, and the draft was deep, but no one came to say hello.

Zhang Xiaobao tied the rope of a small kite to his younger brother's waist, motioned for the maid to take it to play, and looked at the boat and wondered.

"There is no unspoken rule that a boat on the Yangtze River must form a group, right? The ship is also awkward to look at, the military ship is not like a military ship, the cargo ship is not like a cargo ship, it seems to be a dual-use military cargo, go, find someone to ask. ”

The two of them found Li Xun with the incomprehension in their hearts, Li Xun and Liu Er, Xin'er and slightly playing mahjong, he did not have Zhang Xiaobao's ability, and the opponent was not the so-called master of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Xun has good luck, the new game began to draw five rounds of cards has been listened to, Hu Qi four seven, the result of three more rounds of cards, *** did not touch, others do not light the gun, he went to the house Liu Er has listened to the demolition, four seven will not play.

Li Xun doesn't know it, forget it, the most annoying thing is Weiwei, a four-of-a-kind and a seven-of-a-kind, all of which are useless cards, show them out and put them next to them, let Li Xun look at them, and then play three cakes in a row, the meaning is very clear, I want to Hu, change it, don't expect me to play.

The thirteen cards of Jia Xin'er were well buckled there, grabbed a card, touched it with his small hand, and then glanced at Li Xun and gently turned it over and pushed it to the middle.

Li Xun felt a lot of pressure, grabbed a card to see the cards that had been played in the middle, only one was the same as in his hand, hesitating and not knowing whether to play or not.

"Li Gongzi, why don't you sleep first, and see if you should fight in your dreams, I'm sleepy, in this way, I remind you, I'm fifty or eighty thousand, if so, don't fight."

Xin'er opened her mouth and yawned and said to Li Xun.

"That's what you said, the result is not at all, this is ......, let me say first, I have a bad heart, if I hit something else, you can't be nonsense, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, you won't play, as the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, and no one forces you to play, illness is not a reason, frailty is not an excuse, what are you afraid of, the cannon is just four hundred, and the game is small."

Xin'er looked like she was holding the chance to win, which made Li Xun even more worried, and the players were trembling, is it less than four hundred? The main thing is that he has already lost more than 3,000 guan, and if he loses, it is estimated that when he reaches the place, he will become poor.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally appeared, and Li Xun didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and said directly: "I thought you two forgot about that big thing, hurry, come back to the cabin with me, I'll give it to you, come here today, and play another day." ”

As he spoke, Li Xun was about to leave, and at the same time threw the card in his hand.

"Fifty thousand, I'm nonsense, you don't bring this, you play Laipi, we won't play with you next time, four hundred, if you don't give it today, you will give it tomorrow."

Xin'er took out the card and shouted at Li Xun, who left a back.

"Li Gongzi's card skills are getting better, he dares to fight with the three of them, I can't deal with it, Li Gongzi, look at the boat behind you, do you know it?"

Zhang Xiaobao didn't know what the three of Liu Er were busy there all day, it seemed that they were short of money recently, and the people in the inner courtyard had come over more than once to say that they had been cheated of money.

This kind of thing is tossed and turned around by them, and now what they have to figure out is what the ships that keep coming in along the way mean?

Li Xun took the clairvoyance and looked back, and couldn't figure it out for a while, the ship is not the same specification, and the degree of new and old is also different, the only thing that is the same is that it is very honest, but the military can also be used as a cargo ship in peacetime.

Putting down the clairvoyance, Li Xun shook his head, "I don't know, since it is mixed in the fleet of Lord Bi and Lord Yao, why don't you ask the two adults, why haven't the two adults seen it in the past two days?" ”

"Who knows? Maybe it's a loss. Wang Juan muttered.

As soon as Wang Juan's words came out, the three old men walked from the cabin to the deck, their eyes were red, and the first feeling was that they had pink eye, the kind of contagion.

His eyes were red, but his spirit was good, when Old Man Bi saw Zhang Xiaobao and the three of them, he walked two steps quickly to the front, also looked back, and asked, "Xiaobao, Juan Juan, and His Royal Highness the King of the County, where is the wind blowing here?" It's almost time to eat, and I haven't tasted Xiaobao and Juanjuan's craftsmanship for many days, which is weird. ”

"Well, blow it, blow it and blow out a few boats, it is estimated that when it blows to Yizhou, there will be more than 100 boats in the back, Grandpa Bi, are all your relatives in that boat?" I don't know what kind of goods are pulled on it, and the draft is not shallow. ”

Zhang Xiaobao handed over the clairvoyance in his hand.

Old man Bi took it, looked at it carefully, made a thinking look, and said after a while: "Maybe it depends on the size of your fleet, so you can follow behind, and if you encounter trouble, you can ask for help, and the draft is deep, which means that there are many goods, and it is not easy for merchants, so why bother with them." ”

"Also, since it's the same road, it's better to be like this, Grandpa Bi, I'll let people bring their boats in a while, and it will be more stable to protect them aside, good people do it to the end, whenever they eat, call them all over to eat something hot, and after watching it a few times, they all eat dry food, it's pitiful."

Zhang Xiaobao kept looking into the eyes of Old Man Bi when he was talking, and his wandering gaze was really admirable, he was so old that he could fly back and forth.

Old man Yao stood up at this time and said: "I don't think it's necessary, some people don't like other people's kindness, I guess they are like this, go, eat." ”

"That's good, eat, it's a pity, yes, Grandpa Yao, my family often makes machinery, and recently figured out a kind of grease, smeared on the metal, which can better protect the metal, such as a ballista, as long as that grease is used, not only does it not smell bad, but it will be brighter after wiping it with a cotton cloth, do you want to take out a few buckets and maintain the weapons on the ship behind?"

Zhang Xiaobao turned around and walked back to eat, when he suddenly said a word.

"No, it's all wrapped in oiled paper." Old man Yao replied after Zhang Xiaobao's words.

"Oh~! That's good. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said abruptly at the same time.

The three old men were all stunned, Old Man Yao looked helpless, how could he make such a mistake in ordinary times, and the comfortable life made his vigilance reduced.

Old man Bi asked helplessly, "Xiaobao, how do you know that there are weapons on the ship behind?" ”

"I also know that the ship is not only loaded with weapons, but also with food and medicine." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"How do you know?" Old man Bi wondered.

"I will know as soon as you ask, the more sure you ask, the more sure I am, what you are asking first let me know that my family is regarded as a cover-up existence, and everyone knows that my family's fleet is large, so big that no matter how many ships there are, others will not suspect it.

So my father became a victim, and he had to stay in Yizhou for at least a year, and if he got sick there, who would make up for it? I guess my family has just hit the road, and someone in the capital will impeach my father, right? Then my dad was dispatched, and the time difference was good, and it was impossible for my pigeons to fly with the boat. ”

Zhang Xiaobao really didn't know the situation, and everything was clear after two sentences.

"Who is going if you don't go to your house? Don't you want to help the people of Shuzhou who were washed by the flood to get justice? No one else can get such a large fleet except your family, and no one else can do anything follow-up except your family, and it is more likely that someone else will get sick except for your family.

When I wait for the place, I will tell you why, there are many people, if it leaks out, then all the work will be wasted, as long as it goes well, at most a year, your father can go somewhere else. ”

Old man Bi really had no choice but to try to make his voice louder and reasonable.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded in resignation, sighed, and said: "If you are not a local there, it is really dangerous, pitiful, my grandfather has lived for such a long time, and I don't know what it is like to be a first-class official, and my grandmother doesn't even know what the clothes look like."

And Xiaobei, before coming out, he also told me that he wanted to open a toy store in Shuzhou, and I heard that there were skilled craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervisor, but unfortunately, this wish could not be realized, and I was incompetent as a brother, incompetent. ”

"I, my family too, I'm a sister...... Ay~! Wang Juan also said beside him at this time.

Old man Bi and the three of them looked at each other, and Old Man Yao nodded helplessly: "There are arrangements, there are arrangements, now we will go all the way to Yizhou safely." ”

When he said this, he knew that he had to do his best, and whoever let him keep his mouth shut just now was just a product, and it was absolutely not okay to be a loose official.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were happy now, and Li Xun suddenly said: "I'm still sick, bring it over...... This ......"
