Chapter 487: Back to Beijing
Wang Da was stunned and didn't have time to ask more, so he hurriedly moved a jar of things to Chen Youyi, Chen Youyi specially asked him to move it on the boat, but Wang Da didn't know what it was here, and thought it was something to eat.
After that, Chen Youyi opened the altar of things, and a strange smell came to his face, and then Chen Youyi poured all the things in the jar into the water, "Bring the torch." ”
Wang Da didn't react for a while, because he didn't know what Chen Youyi wanted to do, so he was stunned in place, until Chen Youyi shouted at him again, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and handed the torch not far away to Chen Youyi's hand.
I saw Chen Youyi holding a torch and waving it towards the water, and a burst of fire suddenly ignited on the river, and the fire frightened Wang Da and couldn't help but take a step back, tripped over a piece of wood and fell to the ground, staring at the raging fire with round eyes.
He gasped in disbelief, this fire was a little too weird, and it was burning on the water, how could this be possible?
Immediately afterwards, Chen Youyi poured another jar of similar things into the river, because this fire was burning on the river, and the bandit ships on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the fire, for fear of being burned by the fire, and hurriedly evacuated the boats.
Because of the flow of water, and the direction of the wind at this moment, all the fires flew towards the bandits' ships, and it didn't take long for the bandits' ships to disappear without a trace near their merchant ships, and even the business was gone.
In the end, the river was calm, except for the sound of gurgling water, except for the squeak of the oars sliding to pass the interview.
"Madame, what did you just do? What are those things? How can it burn on the water? When everything calmed down, Wang Dacai helped Chen Youyi up from the side of the boat and asked in a low voice.
"That's a special thing that I made for people, it can float on the water, separate it from the water, and burn quickly after encountering an open flame, but the flame of this kind of thing is not very hot, so it can only scare them, and it can't really hurt them, so quickly tell the other people that the sooner you get out of here, the better." Chen Youyi hurriedly explained.
Wang Da immediately ran to the bow of the boat and shouted a few words at Boss Zhao's boat, asking them to row the boat as soon as possible and leave here quickly.
The people on Boss Zhao's boat also saw the fire here, and they seemed to be taken aback, and the surrounding fog was burned off a lot by the fire just now, so the surrounding scene was very clear at this moment.
It's just that everyone didn't care to figure out what was going on in the fire, so they hurriedly rowed out of here, and after more than an hour, they didn't encounter the bandits, and they didn't encounter anything strange, and the sky at this moment slowly brightened, and the fog on the river slowly receded.
Only then did the merchant ships be safe.
Chen Youyi was afraid of what happened last night when the boat shook slightly, as if it had touched something, and when she looked up, she saw a figure jumping from another boat to her own boat, this person was none other than the fruit merchant.
When he walked into the boat, he hurriedly asked, "Were you injured last night?" ”
"Nope."
"I saw the bandits' ships approaching you, and I wanted to come over to help you, but I didn't expect that there was a sudden burst of fire, which forced our ships back, and I thought it was something happened to you here, and then I heard Boss Zhao's people say that you set the fire, what's going on?"
It turned out that he was here to ask about this, and Chen Youyi's mood was a little calmer at the moment, so after listening to the words of the fruit merchant, he simply told him what he had done last night.
The fruit merchant was a little unconvinced at first, and stared at Chen Youyi in surprise, "You really did it?" ”
"It's really me."
"Can you show me what you're using?"
Now there were still two jars of Chen Youyi's special kind of stuff left on the ship, so she asked Wang Dana to show the fruit merchant.
The fruit merchant opened a jar and looked down, and a strange smell came to his face, which looked no different from water, and was not very heavy, but tasted a little strange, and he had never seen anything like it.
"What is this? Why does it burn in water? ”
"This is a special chemical, you may not understand it to you, it was developed by my own mixture, I can't buy it here, when I uploaded it, I thought that it might be useful, so I brought it, but I didn't expect it to be used."
After hearing this, the fruit merchant couldn't help but give Chen Youyi a thumbs up, "Madame is really amazing, I admire it." ”
"What do you admire?" Chen Youyi waved her hand, still a little afraid of what happened last night, "You don't know what I was afraid of last night, I have never encountered this kind of thing, fortunately, this matter has passed, I hope I will never encounter such a thing again tonight." ”
The fruit merchant smiled, and at this time, Boss Zhao's voice came from outside the window, "This won't happen tonight." With that, he opened the curtain outside and walked in, and sat down in front of the two of them, "Madam, I really thanked you last night, I saw everything you did with my own eyes, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have been kidnapped by them this time." ”
"The road behind is much easier, the place we have to pass through next night is not so remote, there are few bandits there, don't worry, we will be able to reach the border of Zhao early the day after tomorrow."
However, these words made Chen Youyi frown again, and muttered, "I'm afraid it's the most difficult to drive when you reach the border of Zhao State, by the way, is your merchant ship going to do business in Zhao State?" Chen Youyi asked them at this time.
Because before, Li Yan was asked to communicate with them, mainly to ask if they could go down to Jiangnan with them, but he didn't ask them in detail where they were going.
As soon as these words came out, the fruit merchant and Boss Zhao glanced at each other, and Boss Zhao first said, "Part of my goods are to stay in Zhao country, Zhao country has two ports, the first port has my voice, and the remaining part is to go through Zhao country and go to those small countries in the south, where their real estate is not very rich, and our goods are sold very quickly, but the road is relatively long, and we will go at most once a month." ”
Then he set his eyes on the fruit merchant, and he smiled and said, "My business is taken care of, because most of my ships are filled with fruits, or valuables, which are suitable for the use of those dignitaries, and cannot be transported farther, otherwise the fruits will rot." ”
