Chapter Forty-Eight: What the hell is this?
In the dark night, at the Beicheng Wharf, next to the merchant ship where the merchants of the Yan Kingdom were, Zhang Tie took back the dagger, wrapped the money bag in waterproof paper, bit the paper bag with his mouth, and went directly down the river.
Zhang Tie walked down the river slowly, and when the river reached his thighs, the cold water made him shiver, and then continued to go deeper, until the river overflowed, and then began to paddle the river slightly, pushing his body forward.
"Fortunately, I have often swam in the creek behind the house since I was a child, and I am not a landlubber, otherwise this time it would have been a bit difficult."
Although it is summer at this time, the river water is still a little cold at night, and most people go into the river without any preparation, and something will definitely happen, either shivering from the cold, or there will be cramps.
The slight paddling was muffled by the sound of frogs and the running water of the river, and did not alarm the crowd of the merchant ships and the soldiers on patrol.
After a while, Zhang Tie swam under the merchant ship, but he couldn't get up at all with his hands, there must be an object to borrow force, and now he couldn't make too much noise, so he could only use the anchor of the merchant ship itself.
swam around the merchant ship for half a circle, and soon let Zhang Tie find the anchor of the merchant ship, grabbed the anchor with his hand, and gently forced, along the anchor, Zhang Tie climbed out of the river little by little.
Zhang Tie had just come out of the river, and the clothes on his body were drenched, and he was blown by the oncoming river breeze, which made Zhang Tie shiver.
With Zhang Tie's current attributes, he feels very uncomfortable, and his wet clothes also have an impact on his actions.
So, Zhang Tie immediately put the wet clothes and shoes back into the equipment bar, and the whole person turned into a naked yellow toad.
Get a new set from the inventory and put it in the equipment slot, replace the wet equipment, and after all the changes are made, then equip the equipment in the equipment slot, and instantly change from a big yellow toad to a man in black.
Little by little, he touched the merchant ship along the anchor, and the whole process only made a slight sound, and soon, Zhang Tie stepped on the merchant ship.
Zhang Tie took off the money bag in his mouth, put it in his arms, and then walked lightly to the bow of the boat, if he wanted to go to the highest cabin, he could only go up from the bow, and there was only one staircase leading to the highest cabin.
If it weren't for the fear of being discovered, Zhang Tie could now pass through the beam and jump directly onto the highest cabin.
At this time, there were two people on the bow of the merchant ship drinking wine and chatting, and the two were the two guards who accompanied Li Dagua to eat at the small shop today, both of them facing the front of the ship with their backs to the stairs.
"It's good that your back is facing the stairs, and if you are facing the stairs, it won't be easy." Looking at the direction of the two guards, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to cause more trouble.
The cat walked on tiptoe, and Zhang Tie walked in the shadows step by step.
"Second brother, do you think we lost money this time, that Yan country man is really hateful, he actually deducted thousands of catties of salt from us like that, that's white silver!"
A health guard roared and took a sullen sip of wine.
The guard next to him, known as the second brother, looked up at the sky, turned his head to look at the guard who was drinking alcohol, and sighed: "Third brother, there is no way, who called us Zhao Guoren, I really miss the old days!" How nice! There is no Yan country, there is no Zhao country, there is no Zhao country, Yan people, and there is no damn war. ”
Touching the wine glass in his hand, the eyes of the guard, who was called the second brother, were full of nostalgia, and finally sighed.
And the guard, who was drinking stuffy wine, listened to the words of the second brother, couldn't help but be stunned, the hand holding the wine glass trembled, and his mouth trembled, and he drank the last sip of wine.
The guard, known as the second brother, also picked up the wine glass and tried to pour himself a glass of wine, but only half a glass was poured, and he couldn't pour the wine, so he shook the wine bottle, only to find that the wine was gone.
"You kid, how did you spoil the eldest brother's treasure for a long time, if you let the eldest brother know, I have to scold you to death."
After speaking, he raised his wine glass and toasted to the moon in the sky, and then drank half a glass of wine, smashed his mouth, and said: "The taste of this wine is still the familiar recipe, and the familiar taste is still the same familiar taste." ”
"This time, the eldest brother is a miscalculation, I didn't want to manage the salt to be so hostile to the people of Zhao Guoren, but it's okay, if I get some other goods tomorrow, I won't lose money."
Zhang Tie, who had already walked to the stairs, was slightly stunned when he heard this, "I didn't expect it to be not a guard, but a brother, no wonder it is somewhat similar." ”
While thinking, he quietly went upstairs.
Bang dang!
There was a clanging sound on the stairs of the merchant ship, but Zhang Tie didn't notice that one of the stairs of the merchant ship was broken, and he stepped on it lightly, and directly stepped on the broken stairs, making a clanging sound.
Zhang Tie secretly said that it was not good, and quickly turned around, raised his hands, and signaled that he had no malicious intent.
"Who!?"
The two brothers were quite familiar with the sound of clanging, it was a piece of ladder up the stairs that was broken, and after stepping on it, it was good again, but it was not completely repaired, and they were looking for a carpenter to repair it when they returned to Tongzhou.
At the beginning, there were often people stepping on it, but later they were all familiar with it, and they all knew that the stairs there could not be stepped on, and now when they heard this sound, the two brothers immediately reacted, and someone secretly got on the boat.
The two brothers turned back at the same time, looked in the direction where the voice came from, pulled out the big knife in their hands, saw their faces Zhang Tie, and scolded loudly: "Who! Stand still! ”
When they saw Zhang Tie is movements with his hands raised high, the two brothers slowly approached a little distance, and the person known as the second brother stepped forward, holding a big knife in his hand, and asked, "Who are you, why did you sneak into our ship?" ”
When the two brothers questioned Zhang Tie, the crew members who were woken up by the sound got up one after another, and for a while, the sound was a little confused.
The patrol soldiers in the distance seemed to hear the two brothers scolding, and walked towards this side with torches, but the distance was a little far, and it would be a while before they arrived.
Zhang Tie raised his hands and glanced at the knives in the hands of the two vigilantly, "I'm here to discuss business with your shopkeeper." ”
The two brothers looked suspiciously at Zhang Tie, who was wearing a night suit and a mask on his head, and his grip in his hand became tighter, obviously Zhang Tie's statement made the two brothers not believe it at all, and no one would easily believe Zhang Tie's statement.
The person who was called the second brother walked on his horse and said to Zhang Tie: "Don't talk nonsense, there are people who dress up like you and secretly come on the boat to talk about business, I advise you not to move, let me tie up and go to the official, so as not to have no eyes on the sword and suffer less flesh and skin." ”
Zhang Tie can't do anything, and it's already like this, if it is delayed, I am afraid that many people will have to come, and the soldiers in the distance are also holding torches and walking here, and then it will really be playing with snakes.
No, I had to stretch out my hand and take out the money bag prepared in advance, the money bag was wrapped in a layer of waterproof paper, and the inside was still clean, and threw it to the person known as the second brother.
Zhang Tie's action of reaching out to pick up something made the two brothers think that Zhang Tie was going to resist and was about to make a move, only to find that Zhang Tie took out a paper bag, and in the face of the paper bag thrown over, the person called the second brother subconsciously stretched out his left hand and took it.
Throwing over the salt bag, seeing the person opposite taking the salt bag, Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders, clasped his shoulders with both hands and said, "I said, I'm here to talk to your shopkeeper about business." “
He gestured to the salt bag with his eyes, "No, there are items to be traded, I advise you to call your shopkeeper out." ”
The corner of the eye of the person called the second brother twitched, and he gestured to the eyes of the 'third brother' beside him, and the 'third brother' took the salt bag, carefully opened the waterproof paper bag, and found the money bag inside.
Suspiciously, he glanced at the money bag, and he didn't know what the hell Zhang Tie was selling, "Do business with the money bag!" Is it to send money? ”
He took the money bag and looked left and right, and threw it, shook it, and then leaned in front of his nose, ready to smell it.
The person on the side, who was called the second brother, really couldn't stand it, and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid, open up and look!" What are you doing! ”
The person who was called the third brother suddenly realized: "Oh! Yes! Just open it. ”
While talking, he patted his head, but he forgot that he was still holding a big knife in his hand, and as a result, the handle of the knife also touched his head, and there was a bang, and the 'third brother' who was hurting let out an ouch.
The corners of the eyes of the person on the side, known as the second brother, twitched wildly, and he couldn't wait to step forward and slap his stupid brother now.
Zhang Tie was also dumbfounded, "This person is really a living treasure, my God!" ”
