Guangzhou Bay, this is the world of sailors, just returned from the sea with the smell of the sea, the bearded head of the head into the tavern in the bay, no need to command, the man will bring a large plate of vegetables and all kinds of fruits, the rice wine in the wooden barrel will also be brought a barrel on the table.

Originally, the man who was supposed to drink in a big bowl and eat meat now also drinks in a big bowl, but the wine is served with all kinds of green vegetables, raw rabup is the most popular, courgette is second, as for the two-foot-long cress, as long as it is clean, it is like gnawing sugar cane in the hand and eating non-stop.

At this time, even if the proprietress twisted the waist of the water snake into a twist, no one would take a second look, and only after satisfying the appetite could it be the turn of someone else. The real dish has five flavors, and two thunderous farts are happily released, and this is a good time for the whole body to be well-connected.

"Grandma's, this life on the sea is impossible, the Yun family in Yongzhou, the Feng family in Guangzhou, and the Hou family on the far island, the three of them are now the masters of the sea. The best spice island, without our brothers' share, and the best natives do not have our share, our brothers can only look for wild fruits all over the mountains to eat. ”

This is what the sailors who go ashore will definitely say, as long as someone says this, someone will definitely answer in a weird way: "It's not good to mix with you, but you fucking go ashore, the land given by the court is all damn waste, not only do you not produce a grain of grain, but you also have to pay a fine to the government every year, why bother!" ”

These two sentences are actually used to open the conversation, as long as it is a person at sea, it is already a common practice to scold these three families, as for going ashore to grow food. That little income was not enough to break the money, and there was too much grain in Annam on the other side of the bay to eat, and a lot of it was rotting in the ground. A few years ago, the imperial court also used a fleet of ships to transport grain to the north, and in recent years, there have been no grain ships.

"Have you found the Bearded Guest's treasure? I heard that it's in the Devil's Sea, Boss Cui, aren't you going to the open sea? Didn't go in and search? As long as I find you, you are developed. ”

"Don't say it, grandpa, I really wanted to go in and investigate when I passed by the Devil's Sea. But after looking at the backflow and reef there, Grandpa and I still obediently walked the strait, Grandma's. The tax paid by the fleet once through the strait can make me feel distressed for half a year, and the general there is also a rigid person, so he slept with the orchid on the ship, thinking that he could be a little less. Who knew that bastard had eaten it and wiped it clean. The pants are still the same dead face. Lao Zhou, don't fall for this kind of fool after you go next time, you won't be able to get good. ”

Just when the maritime merchants were boasting about what they had seen, a middle-aged man stood up and interjected: "Ship bosses, junior brother Guannei, this time I want to go to the far island to visit relatives, I don't know which boss is going to pass by the far island, the little brother will definitely be rewarded." ”

There was a sudden silence in the tavern. It took a long time for a boat boss surnamed Zhou to say: "I know that you are a spy of the imperial court, and you went to the far island just to go there to find out the news." Actually, you don't have to work so hard, take out your waist card, go to the Yun family's boat, or find the Feng family, the Hou family, they will definitely invite you to the boat like an uncle, and you will go to the far island by boat for eight months, if you don't like the difficulty of taking the boat, go to the bookstore diagonally opposite to find a book called the far island, which has everything you want to know.

If I were to you, I would send the book to the imperial court, and say that I saw it on the far island, and then find a kiln that suits my appetite and live in it for two years, and then tell the court that the situation on the far island is the same as the book says, and if you go back, you will be promoted, which is so fucking beautiful. ”

The look on the middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, the spies of the capital water supervisor still had this bit of the city government, but he was casually exposed by a boat boss, which still made him feel that he was not wearing clothes.

"How does the elder know that it is a spy below, could it be that the word spy is written on the younger brother's face?"

Another rough man laughed and said: "If you go to Annan, we will believe that you are going to find relatives in these places, because Annan is now full of criminal officials, all of whom were sent from the Central Plains, but forget about the distant island, it is the place where the ancestral shrine exists, and all those who have been ordered by their families to go there to guard the ancestral ancestral incense, and the people there are also famous and surnamed people, if you want to go to the distant island, people will only choose the ships of these three families, and you are sneaky people who want to go to the distant island, In addition to being a spy of the imperial court, who else can he be, Lao Zhou is right just now, find a kiln and squat for two years, and then take the book to the errand, if there is something wrong with the book, you come and cut off my head.

At the beginning, I also wanted to move my family to a distant island, and I had been there, just like the one mentioned in the book, but it was too far away, so I gave up this thought. ”

Coming out of the tavern, the middle-aged man chose several taverns, and wanted to take a boat to the distant island, but suffered from everyone's ridicule, the distant island is not hidden, what else do you hide from a malicious spy, the biggest taboo of people at sea is that there are people on their own ship who do not have the same heart as themselves, a ship is a whole, whether it is a sail or a person, they are all part of this ship, and a problem in one place is likely to kill everyone.

Standing on the harbor and watching the sails like a mountain enter the harbor, a ship that was too large slowly sailed into the harbor under the escort of many warships, could it be said that this is the legendary Emperor of the sea?

Listening to the spies involuntarily shouting out the voice of the Great Emperor, the men around him subconsciously stayed away from him, this is a dirt bun, it is really stupid to be able to treat a shark-class battleship as a Haikun-class Great Emperor.

Judging by the looks of others, the clever spy knew that he might be embarrassed, and he was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a place to get in.

"Guests of the Central Plains, you are the one who is looking for food on land, you don't have to be ashamed if you don't know the sea sharks, you let these killers identify the difference between horses and camels, they will also make jokes, I heard that you are going to the far island, come with me, there will be a boat to the far island tomorrow, you just follow the past, you can tell the court the far island you see, it is also a good thing."

When the wasp heard these words, sweat spurted out from the pores of his body, and in an instant, his clothes were soaked, and his mission was to explore the distant island.

Since he is a secret agent, of course, the more secret, the better, to be able to complete the task unnoticed, after arriving in Guangzhou, he found that the three people who traveled with him had no way to do this, as the lowest status of the spy, he had to risk being found to go to the street to investigate, hoping to find a way to go to the far island, and now, his identity has been known by the object of his exploration.

"You don't have to panic, this is the land of the Tang Dynasty, you are an official of the Tang Dynasty, what are you afraid of here, although the distant island has not yet been included in the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, most of the people there are still my Tang people, the only reason why the government can't manage it there is that it is too far away, so far away that the imperial court almost forgets about it, now that you are here, go there to see."

An old man with gray hair stood there and said to the wasp with a smile.

"Lao Yu is the treasurer of Yunfu's affairs in Guangzhou, you can report this matter to Chang'an and ask your Shangguan to decide, but the monsoon waits for no one, if you miss this monsoon, you can only wait until next year."

"I'll go!" The wasp replied very firmly.

"Hehe, it's the right choice, you see, my eldest young master got off the boat, the sea shark just now is my family's boat, and you can't eat at sea without a boat."

The wasp turned his head to look, only to see a young man in Tsing Yi walking from the gangplank to the land, his body staggered a little and then quickly stood firm, this is a symptom of a long-distance voyage, Li Rong saw the old man from a distance and took two steps and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, why did you come here in person?" The wind is the beach, you shouldn't blow it. ”

Shopkeeper Liu doted on the young man in front of him, his heart was full of joy, from the time when the child was still in the mother's womb, he came to serve, and in a blink of an eye, he had grown into a young man.

"People are old, almost all the errands on their bodies have been handed over, and they like to wander around the dock when they have nothing to do.

"Grandpa Liu, your body is still strong, and Xiaorong will be able to marry when he is eighteen years old next year, and I still expect you to take care of the little one, at this time, it is not good to say that you are old."

Li Rong and Shopkeeper Liu talked and laughed, and when they saw the wasp standing aside with their hands down, they wanted to ask, the Yun family never used outsiders, whether it was a guy or a shopkeeper, it was their own family, and they had never seen a wasp, so it was a little strange.

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Li Rong was asking for advice, so he told Li Rong the origin of the wasp.

"The emperor's grandfather is really, I invited his old man to come to Guangzhou to see the sea, and I always shirked my will, now it's okay, the secret agents are all sent over, tomorrow the Sea Fish will sail, you will go with it, if you don't see it with your own eyes, the imperial grandfather will not rest assured."

After Li Rong finished speaking, he helped the shopkeeper Liu and walked away, and the wasp vaguely heard Li Rong commenting on the emperor's careful eyes, there are not many officials in this country who dare to comment on the emperor like this, unless it is those guys who are very doted on by the emperor. Li Rong is among these juniors, he is considered to be a top-notch person, and he is intimately close, this is the truth of officialdom, what else is hidden, the main owner has seen it, if he still wants to go to the distant island secretly, it is impossible.

The far island is too far away, and the wasp also arrived in Guangzhou to have a new understanding of his remoteness, it turns out that the big ship can't walk in a straight line at sea, and needs to sail along the curved coastline, and the straight line doesn't seem too far, but after going around a big circle, it's far away and frightening. (To be continued......)
