Chapter 68: The Road Encounter
"Uncle Liang, this is Jiangnan? It is really different from Xiangzhou and Jiuhua, a tranquil and comfortable scenery! Zhang Lingdao got off the boat, came to the dock, and looked back at Liang Ye.
Liang Ye smiled, commanded the disciples and servants around him to unload, and scolded, "You lazy guy, you didn't help much along the way, not to mention, you added a lot of chaos on the water, and now you don't come to help me unload, it's against you!" ”
Zhang Lingdao smiled when he heard this, "Uncle Shi, you didn't say that, didn't I clean up all those thieves and thieves along the way?" How can I make trouble for you? ”
"Don't fight with your kid, the kid taught by Zhang Mengbai has sharp teeth and sharp mouths!" Liang Ye waved his hand, turned back not to look at him, and continued to direct the disciples to unload.
Zhang Lingdao smiled, not annoyed, and began to observe this small dock.
Next to the wharf were a few unloading stalls, and a few shelves made of wood and tarpaulin, and some shirtless unloaders were standing there, waiting for business to come to the door.
And there are some people on the dock who obviously don't belong here, they are wearing blue clothes, and it can be seen from their behavior that they are some Jianghu people.
"It's strange, how could this person who is a water dragon come to Jiangnan? Although they are allies with the Imperial State, they are not so good, are they? Liang Ye stood beside Zhang Lingdao, his tone very puzzled.
"Water Dragon Yin......" Zhang Ling said with a spirit, "This is the disciple of Water Dragon Yin, one of the four alliances?" ”
"Yes, they walk the rivers and lakes, and they often wear light blue clothes, which are very easy to recognize." Liang Ye said, by the way, he looked at the disciples who had already loaded the goods into the car, "You put the goods in the warehouse at the dock, and by the way, buy some things here and go back first, and I will take another group of people to Hangzhou." ”
Although Zhang Lingdao didn't know who Uncle Liang was talking about, these disciples knew very well, and they were decisively divided into two groups, one followed Liang Ye, and the other group left the dock with the carriage and horses under the leadership of another Zhenwu disciple.
"Uncle Shi, where are we going?" Zhang Lingdao asked, and he found that his uncle was actually running towards the river towards the pier, instead of stepping on the road opposite the pier.
Liang Ye pointed to the other side, "If you don't look at the map, we naturally have to go to Fengqiao Town now, where we will rest tonight, otherwise we will go down the business road, but there will be no such a good place to rest!" ”
"Oh!" Zhang Lingdao nodded, looked back at the disciples who were climbing on the boat, and suddenly had a plan, and flew towards the other side of the river with light skills.
"Uncle Shi, I'll go over and explore the way first, you can find an inn and wait for me!" After speaking, without waiting for Liang Ye to answer, the whole person had already flown away without a trace.
"This kid ......" Liang Ye smiled, knowing that Zhang Lingdao had his own sense of proportion, so he didn't say anything more, got on the boat with the rest of the people, and swayed towards the opposite shore.
Zhang Lingdao has come to this very large dock in a few jumps, which is different from the small, narrow dock before, this can be said to be a very huge dock.
Ships of all sizes dock here, and it is worthy of being the place where the two rivers meet, even if it is now noon and the sun is in full bloom, it cannot stop the people coming and going here.
A large number of caravan travelers stayed here to gather, and naturally there were some martial arts people, and those people didn't say anything when they saw the clothes on Zhang Lingdao's body, only a few careful guys took a closer look at him, and then walked away quietly.
Zhang Lingdao immediately saw this scene, and he didn't need to guess much, those people must be the eyes of the local forces, used to observe some people who came here, in fact, they didn't have any malicious intentions, but they were just an extra layer of insurance.
The reason why Zhang Lingdao wanted to speed up and rush here was to investigate and investigate, and see what the people who had been singing before came here?
But to his surprise, there was not even a single person here, and their obvious blue clothes were gone, which made him very strange.
However, I didn't see any useful news, but it's better to take a stroll around the noisy market on this pier, and it should be a good experience.
Zhang Lingdao carried the sword on his back and dangled here, not to mention, although it is now more than a thousand years old from his time, there are still many things that he has never seen before, and they are sold on the street.
Many very precious or even out-of-print items in the market were piled up at random in the back, which made him sigh at the wonder of things.
"Hey! You're a great thing! It's still moving! Suddenly, a figure in front of him caught his attention, it was a girl dressed in red, standing in front of a toy stall, fiddling with a wooden doll.
The doll seller was also very attentive, pointing to his toy, "Look, this woman, my toy is all carefully carved, and some broken wood has been added to it, so that this puppet can swing around with the wind." ”
Zhang Lingdao stepped forward and found that the girl was holding a monkey doll painted with a lot of colors, and the lower body was a half-wheeled thing, if you zoomed in, it was a monkey-like wooden horse.
"Hmmm! Well! Well! This thing is so cute, how much does it cost? The girl in red grabbed the monkey, shook her head, and asked the vendor.
The peddler smiled, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "The price of good things is naturally a little more expensive, five taels of silver." ”
He held out a five-five gesture and aimed it at the girl, "Ah, so expensive?" There was a hint of hesitation in the girl's eyes, "When I went out, Uncle Lu only gave me 100 taels of silver, and it costs five taels to buy a toy, which is ......"
The peddler hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Hey, girl, you can't say that." It took me half a month to build this toy by a master carpenter, and if it weren't for that master, my uncle, how could I sell it to you for five taels of silver? If someone else were to sell it, it would have to be at least doubled! ”
The girl was visibly convinced, took out a piece of silver from her bosom, and handed the larger one of the ingots to the vendor, "All right...... This is five taels of silver, and you give me this monkey. ”
"Okay!" The peddler hurriedly handed the girl the toy on the table, and reached out to take the five taels of silver.
But he never thought that another hand as white as jade stopped his hand, "Wait! Living on the rivers and lakes, it is natural to have the morality of the rivers and lakes, and you are also a person who has become a fine person, so you deceive a girl who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, isn't it right? ”
Zhang Lingdao felt that his speed was relatively fast, and he just stopped in front of this person, not only stopping the hand he handed to the girl, but also intercepting the silver in the girl's hand.
