【Volume 1】Lan Wan 7: Ascending

"That's you, right?"

The coachman was an old man, with a snarky face, but the carriage was quite high-end, nearly an hour away, and Qing Yu sat comfortably. Of course, a wealthy businessman of the level of Master Yang must not be far off from the carriage.

Haizhuang is the largest seafood market in Lanyang City, and almost seventy percent of the fishermen's achievements in the city are purchased, reprocessed and sold by Haizhuang. Although he is only the richest man in the place, only the city lord of Lan Yang can be ranked in front of Master Yang.

Master Yang's private residence is located in the suburbs of Lanyang City, and the bumpy stone road has been paved with stone slabs from afar. Stepping on the stone road means that you have entered the private area of the Yang family, and you will be able to see the magnificent and luxurious manor after a while.

There were quite a few carriages parked outside the manor, and it seemed that the recent rumors should be true. The post-apocalyptic continent is divided into five major jurisdictions according to the geographical division of resources, of which the Lanwan jurisdiction mainly controls fresh water and marine resources, as well as some water conservancy projects. Lanyang is just a border city in the Lanwan jurisdiction, and it is not surprising that Master Yang wants to expand the business and monopolize the seafood industry in the entire Lanwan jurisdiction.

Master Yang was indeed very busy, after entering the manor, Qing Yu had been standing and waiting outside the reception room for nearly two hours, and there were all kinds of businessmen coming in and out of the reception room all the time. As a mercenary, patience is also one of the basic qualities, but the high heels under his feet are almost the life of Light Feather, and he has to lean on the windowsill and change his posture and center of gravity from time to time. But the slightly lazy movements made her look more beautiful.

Suddenly, there was a flirtatious whistle behind him.

"Look, where did this beauty come from?"

Two sturdy young men walked over, looking like brothers, one with a finger-thick gold chain and the other with a cigarette in his mouth. Gold and cigarettes are luxuries in this era, these two guys are very ostentatious, even in Master Yang's manor, Qing Yu has stood for so long and has not seen a big man like them.

"I said chick, how boring it is to stand here alone, why don't you do something happy with our brothers?"

Two men surrounded him, and Qing Yu took a step back to distance himself, but the two of them did not relent. Between advancing and retreating, Qing Yu was blocked in the corner.

At this time, Master Yang's housekeeper came out of the reception room and was shocked when he saw this scene: "Are you crazy!" Don't mess around! This woman is very important to the master, can she be a little measured?! ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said a few words, turned his head and changed his smiling face again, welcomed the guests inside, and said to the brothers with a black face before sending the guests away: "Come in, the master is waiting for the three of you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qing Yu already had a bottom in his heart. It turns out that these two guys are the "Hoss brothers". After entering, Master Yang, who was rich and wealthy on the chair, stood up directly, and looked around Qingyu several times:

"Well, yes, not bad." Master Yang nodded straight, pinched Qingyu's chin again, and his eyes were like torches, "You're a chick, right?" ”

Qing Yu didn't answer, and nodded shyly and implicitly, no different from a girl from a good family. But the thief light in the eyes of the Hoss brothers became brighter and brighter.

But Master Yang is not blind: "You two don't use any crooked brains, this chick is going to be given away, if you dare to harm my business......"

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't worry, since we have received your money, we will definitely get things done!" The man with the cigarette laughed. His name was Abel Wilson Horse, and he was the older brother of brothers.

"Snuff out the cigarette." Master Yang was very unhappy, if it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice, he didn't want to hire these two hooligans. After that, he told Light Feather:

"Since you received the money, this matter is also voluntary. Now that I'm here, I can't regret it. You have to go early tomorrow morning, and you have to go if you don't go. These two guys will look at you, they are also somewhat famous in the Tao, you don't expect to escape as a woman. ”

"Gold Hunter, you should know, right? It is the largest official ship in Tieyang Port. Once out at sea, it takes a week to dock, so your task for this week is to wait on the captain. It is also considered luck that a civilian like you can have such an opportunity, and if you grasp it well, you may be able to be the captain's lover. ”

Master Yang is in his fifties, in addition to being a wealthy businessman, he is also a big man who eats both black and white, and he is never ambiguous when he should speak bluntly. But none of this is what Light Feather cares about.

Judging from the intelligence, the Hoss brothers are currently living in Mr. Yang's house temporarily, and they are obviously hired by Mr. Yang at his expense. Although there is a lot of information on the road, the chance of He Fu being cheated is extremely small, unless the information itself is false from the beginning. Master Yang did not hesitate to waste such a setback, just to secretly send a woman to the captain, which shows that there must be some unknown shady scene between him and the captain.

The captain of the Gold Hunt was an official directly appointed by the "Three Emperors", and this alone was enough to arouse Qing Yu's interest.

In this post-apocalyptic world, resources are scarce and land is scarce, but fortunately, the population has not reached saturation. In particular, since the implementation of the "merit-based plan", the population has dropped a lot in the past 20 years. Such a world does not need multiple countries, let alone multiple governments. Such a world is divided into five jurisdictions, and above them is a coalition government known as the "New World", whose members are nothing more than survivors of the apocalyptic apocalypse, politicians, and bureaucrats. They saw themselves as aristocrats with absolute power, living in special zones where they could rightfully enjoy the supply of resources. In the interest of fairness, they will elect three prime ministers to jointly govern, and these three prime ministers are the "Three Emperors".

How many shady scenes there are in the government and the SAR, Qing Yu does not dare to speculate. But as long as there is an opportunity to grasp their weakness, whether it is true or not, no matter the result, Qingyu will not miss it.

"You say, what is the relationship between Master Yang and the captain?" On the carriage to the port, Light Feather spoke to the Hoth brothers for the first time, and their faces were not good-looking.

Since yesterday at the manor to now, this pretending woman has not even looked at them once, and now she doesn't know where she is familiar, so she asks so casually.

Brother Abel looked at Qing Yu very unhappily, and his condescending gaze was full of condescending eyes: "Aren't you just a bitch, what are you pretending to be high?" ”

"Haha! That's right! Geral, the younger brother, laughed and pointed to his crotch, "A bitch's mouth isn't meant to ask questions. If you want to know what their relationship is, you can serve our brothers first. Brother, did you say no? ”

"What's not, people are still a chick!" Abel teased with a look on his face, and leaned in front of Qing Yu, "Hey, are you really a chick?" If you don't know how to serve the captain when you get on the boat, it's broken, why don't you be in the carriage now, and our brothers teach you well? Hahaha! ”

The Hoss brothers teased vulgarly, and when they saw that Qingyu didn't make a sound, they became more and more open-mouthed. But they are just talking, they have enjoyed it, and now they haven't even gotten on the boat, so they can't really dare to come nonsense. However, once the ship has set sail and left the port, it is difficult to say.

Qing Yu looked at the two hooligans coldly, if it weren't for the mission, she would have slapped their dog's mouths away. I had no choice but to sit next to them weakly and keep some distance from them. When he turned to find that he had arrived at the port, he saw a long boarding procession from afar.

These people, like the Hoss brothers, are all bodyguards hired by the government at high prices for this trip.

In order not to attract attention, Qing Yu was dressed as a man at this time, and Master Yang also prepared a wig for this, and she was indeed very ordinary in the crowd because of her tall figure. The name on the light feather nameplate was Levi, a group of the Hoss brothers, and the sailors assigned them room numbers when they boarded the ship.

The Gold Hunt is a big ship that anyone wants to come aboard if they can. Light feathers are no exception. The high boarding staircase had an indescribable coldness and majesty, the wheels that were rumored to require fifty people to push did exist, and the wide deck was wider than the widest street in Lanyang City, from which you could easily look down on the whole of Lanyang City.

The bodyguards were excited one by one, they were all on the ship for the first time, and just this deed of boarding the Gold Hunter could make them brag for a lifetime.

The deck was windy, and Light Feather didn't stay for long because he was afraid that the wig would fall off. The ship arranged a seven-person room for the bodyguards, but Qingyu and they arranged another four-person room, and one bed was still empty. Obviously, this is all the careful arrangement of Master Yang and the captain.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Hoth brothers, Light Feather would still be very satisfied with this room. After dropping off his luggage, Light Feather went to the back deck again. The ship was as tall as a city, almost obscuring all view from the aft deck, and there was no view of anything but the sea, so it was empty.

Men's clothing made Qingyu's movement much easier, and she quickly touched into the penultimate lifeboat, and quickly found the suitcase placed inside. You don't need to open it, just by the weight and feel, you can know that it contains her "right-hand man".

"Humph!" Qingyu smiled with satisfaction, although He Fu was sloppy, he had absolutely no ability to do things.

The structure diagram of the ship Qing Yu had long been familiar with it, and after taking the suitcase, she quickly touched the lower cargo hold. There, rows of purpose-built containers are as tall as hills, and they are full of iron ore that is about to be transported.

I heard that before the end of the world, human beings have a highly developed scientific and technological civilization, and such tall containers do not need to be managed manually, and are all completed by computer intelligence. The irony is that the Gold Hunter built such a huge empty shell for the sake of gimmick and face, based on the drawings left over from previous civilizations. Although there were two or three booms that could be loaded and unloaded, the efficiency was really not flattering, and in the end it still required the help of coolies.

Qing Yu hid the suitcase in an inconspicuous corner and looked at the warehouse briefly. According to the intelligence, all the iron ore should be here, and among them is the part that Lanyang City mainly smuggles out. In today's world, there are no multiple countries coexisting, and resource-related industries such as iron ore are also firmly in the hands of the government, so if the lord of Lanyang City really smuggles, then the target of smuggling can only be......

"Who!"

Halfway through his thoughts, Qing Yu suddenly felt something different behind him.
