Chapter 62: No Waves on the River (2)
Mo Zi stood on the lookout of the ship, looking up at the shape of the waves in the distance.
Overhead, she made a handmade windmill that shows the direction of the wind and estimates the wind speed. Don't think it's easy, although she can design the best warship, that's when all the software is already available. If you want to build part by hand, having a theory is not the same as owning everything, just like the pencil she made, the windmill also suffered failure and failure, especially the function of calculating the wind speed, I don't know how many brain cells cost her.
Therefore, with the supreme theory of the engine, Mo Zi knew that it was far away to build one. Without the ninety-nine floors that have already been built, the height of a hundred floors cannot appear out of thin air.
"It's starting to ebb and flow, southeast wind, wind speed two." She turned her head and shouted at Lao Guan.
"Okay." Lao Guan began to command the three brothers to loosen the sails and shout a mast.
Mo Zi looked down at a few of their homework, and thought to herself, if this person doesn't come again, don't blame her for not waiting. With a roll of his eyes, suddenly six people and six horses came into view. The leader, the white robe brocade belt, the face is like jade, the eyes are like stars, the high-crowned pearl, and the air is magnificent. It's not that Erlang, which Erlang is it?
She noticed that he was also looking at her, so she raised her eyebrows and raised her head, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she smiled in a weird way, and whispered, "Cut, it's a good time." โ
The six of them drove over, and Cen Er, who was about to collect the sampan, saw it, and couldn't help but be shocked, and looked up and asked Mo Zi, "Brother Mo, why are they again?" It can't be coming at us, right? โ
Mo Zi knew that she had toasted and eaten it herself, but it was not easy to admit it in front of Cen Er, so she had to say, "Maybe I got the news from somewhere else." Don't panic, I'll take care of it. โ
As he spoke, both men and horses were already in front of the Yongfu.
Shi Lei muttered in a low voice, "Why is this guy here?" โ
Zhong An smiled and said, "Okay, sure enough, it's with us all the way." Glancing at the side, he saw that his expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected people to be sure, "It seems that you are right again." โ
Erlang said in a deep voice, and explained to the two people, one on the left and one on the right, "Do it according to what was discussed before." โ
Once he gave the order seriously, Zhong'an Shi Lei also straightened his expression and said yes to each other.
"What a coincidence." Mo Zi grabbed the thick rope from the lookout and slid down, pedaled over the wooden ladder in a few steps, and reached the deck from the top of the cabin, with her hands tied behind her back and a smile on her face, "A few people seem to have found the doorway." โ
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The "official spokesman" is always Brother Zhong'an, "Little brother, I didn't expect to see you again, please take care of me all the way." โ
Cen Er hurriedly said, "Who is on the same boat with you?" โ
Mo Zi still smiled, "He's right, who's on the same boat with you?" Let's go to Yunzhou, and we're not going in the same direction as you. โ
"Huh? No way? Some say the Eternal Blessing is going where we go. Brother, if you know the owner of the ship, please introduce us to us. Zhong An also laughed on the horse.
"This boat is going to Yunzhou, you are going to ......" Cen Er was afraid that there would be many people on the dock, so he hid half a sentence, "What do you see!" You're mistaken, let's go, don't delay our sailing. โ
"What's wrong?" Lao Guan listened to it a little lively and walked over.
"This old man is the owner of the ship?" Jiro spoke.
"Wellโif anything, sort of." The ship was bought in his name, but not the money he paid.
"We want to cross the river by boat, so please make it convenient for the elderly." Erlang's eyes swept lightly over Mo Zi and looked at Lao Guan.
"I just heard a few people who seem to be on a different path from us." The ship is so big, and if you talk loudly, you can hear it clearly.
"No, it's not. Wherever the ship goes, we will go. "Shi Lei is tall and strong, and his voice is the same as ringing a bell.
Mo Zi's scalp was numb, and he secretly scolded him for being stupid, what is the place where the ship goes, where are the people going, just say that you smuggled goods will bring us by the way. Isn't it strange to hear?
"Where the hell are you going?" Lao Guan was stunned, touching his white beard, "My ship is in Yunzhou, how many are you?" โ
"Exactly." Zhong An simply, "I see that the old man's boat is very big, so let's take a few more, and we will pay more for the ship." โ
"It's not just my boat that goes to Yunzhou, how many people go to inquire elsewhere?" I can't take it anywhere, Lao Guan thought of a reason, "This boat is for these two to be chartered, and they won't carry other passengers." I'm really sorry. โ
Zhong An smiled secretly in his heart, and sure enough, as his colleague said first, the decision was returned to Brother Mo's hands.
"This little brother, we are not the first acquaintance, why are we so unsympathetic? The river is boring, and it is lively when there are more people, isn't it? He began to negotiate with Mo Zi.
"Although Sir's words are reasonable, I am also acting on the orders of my master, and it is really not good to make my own decisions." Mo Zi squinted, and his hands were swinging vigorously.
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. The charter cost is quite a lot, we are willing to bear half of it, and you can spend half less. We don't care what you do with the extra money. "Chung An uses what they do best โ to lure them to their advantage.
"Who cares about that bit of silver?" Cen Er snorted.
"You kid!" Shi Lei deliberately lowered his roar at this time, "Don't care about silver, don't you care about your life?" โ
"You...... What do you mean? Cen Er saw that the other party suddenly lowered his voice, and his anger was weak.
"You know what you mean. Tell you, if you don't let Lao Tzu get on the boat, Lao Tzu will do you all those things and shout here. If you attract officers and soldiers, don't blame Lao Tzu for not understanding people. Shi Lei said Lao Tzu, with a fierce momentum, and his face was full of evil shapes.
"You!" Cen Erxin is not good, but the private goods are all on the boat. So, leaning over to Mo Zi's ear, "Brother Mo, what should I do?" โ
"Looks like I'll have to take them with me." Mo Zi happily pushed the boat down the river, "If they really want to do it and let the officers and soldiers check the boat, we will be finished." โ
"But how can the owner explain there? This is our last transaction, and if we have to leak secrets, it will be terrible. "Cen Er, left is not right, not right.
"Let them get on board first, and go into the cabin to discuss. Standing here for a long time attracts suspicion. Mo Zi suggested.
Can Cen Er disagree? Although I feel that it is easy to invite guests and difficult to send guests, it is better than provoking officials.
"The three of them will come on board first, and everything will be discussed." Mo Zi made a gesture.
When the three and two men entered the cabin, they saw that the blackened cabin was spacious, shabby and old, and there was nothing but a lame low table.
"Not even a chair." Shi Lei couldn't look at it, "Will it leak?" โ
"Where will people lie and sleep if they have put chairs?" Cen Er snorted in his nose, "Don't worry, it looks dilapidated, and it will definitely not leak wind and rain." Besides, you are to enjoy the blessings and go home and enjoy them. โ
"Little brother is right." Zhong An smiled, and said to Shi Lei, "Stone, this one alone does not leak wind or rain, it is stronger than your tent." โ
"If you have a boat, why do you have to take us?" Cen Er heard him talk about the tent and thought it was the canopy.
"Little brother, I'm talking about the shed where he usually lives." Zhong An explained.
Cen Er saw that they were not like poor people, thinking that he was fooling himself, so he snorted coldly, and didn't want to deal with it.
Mo Zi saw that the smell of gunpowder was strong, and he didn't mind, folded his arms, raised his eyebrows to look at the leader.
