"The whole world is the king's land, it is time to find a good gentleman for him, the bigger the world, the more you must abide by the rules and not cross the bottom line." After a while, Xu Huan answered.

Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan from behind, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

……………………

Bai Jingning's itinerary is very accurate, and Guo Sheng's itinerary is also very accurate.

After dinner, Bai Jingning's big sea ship quietly berthed into the natural harbor outside Tangni Town, which bent between two cliffs, and was calm.

Dong Laosan slipped in to report, Guo Sheng asked Xu Huan to stay in the inn, and together with Dong Laosan, he quietly touched the sea cliff and looked at the big sea ship that was not very brightly lit.

"That's bold enough." Dong Laosan was lying next to Guo Sheng, looking at the lonely big boat in the bay, this is really a big piece of fat!

"Bai Jingning is a bold one." Guo Sheng said a word, staring at the boat, two quarters of an hour later, the lights on the boat went out, Guo Sheng sighed softly, and motioned Dong Laosan to step back.

The two climbed until they could no longer see the ship, and then they stood up.

Dong Laosan patted the grassroots soil on his body, and laughed: "The boss is really cautious, ...... so far away"

"First, that's Bai Jingning; Second, if we can see others, they can also see us; Third, at any time, don't leave anything to chance, you ask the rock, the last two sentences, he has encountered. Guo Sheng also patted his clothes casually.

"Yes, the boss's lesson, Dong Laosan remembered." Dong Laosan hurriedly humbly said that he heard it in his heart.

"We live a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife, the knife is raised, life and death are not afraid, before the knife is raised, we must be cautious, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Guo Sheng patted Dong Laosan on the shoulder a few times, "Now, this boat is safe and secure in our hands, we must take care of it, how many people are arranged tonight?" ”

"Three shifts, two shifts, I stared at it in the first half of the night, and let Haiqing's kid stare at it in the second half of the night, he was very clever." Dong Laosan hurriedly replied.

Guo Sheng hummed, "You guard, I'll go back, tomorrow you just take someone to watch the boat, don't worry about the rest." ”

Dong Laosan agreed repeatedly, watched Guo Sheng walk away briskly, fell to the ground, and crawled back to the place just now, staring at the dark sea and the big ship under the starlight.

……………………

The next day, before dawn, Guo Sheng and Xu Huan washed up and had breakfast, and rode straight to Changzhou City.

Xu Huan followed closely next to Guo Sheng, such a spring day, such a peaceful day, as two long shirts, the speed of this horse should not be too fast, two people riding on horses to catch the road, and they can talk.

"Lao Guo, you are so sure, then Bai Shuai will definitely go to Changzhou City today? Don't wait to see him get off the boat? What if it's wrong? Xu Huan was a little worried.

"When he went to a place, he did the same thing, first looking at the big city closest to the place where the ship was moored, then inspecting the various important places of war, and then walking along the coast, and never missed." Guo Sheng's expression looked determined and relaxed.

"What if he goes to Pingjiang Mansion?"

"First, Pingjiang Mansion is too far away; Second, so far in Pingjiang Prefecture, the bandits have not dared to disturb deeply. He won't go, don't worry, it must be Changzhou City, if I change it, I will also go to Changzhou City to have a look. Guo Sheng whipped a whip on Xu Huanma's buttocks, "The wind and the sun are beautiful, it is suitable for running horses, go!" ”

The two horses rushed forward, galloped forward, and after a short time, they entered the city of Changzhou.

Guo Sheng found a foot shop at the gate of the city and sent a horse, and Xu Huan shook off the folding fan, although the pace was not slow, it seemed that he was leisurely walking along the street of Changzhou City, walking freely.

Changzhou City is not big, soon went around, Guo Sheng and Xu Huan entered the most famous and of course the most generous restaurant in Changzhou City, Leyuan Building, found a private room on the second floor that could clearly see the West City Gate, sat down with Xu Huan, first asked for tea and fine points, drank tea and talked.

After two or three cups of tea, at the end of the street leading to the West City Gate, Bai Jingning took his son Bai Qiao, under the guard of a group of small guards, and appeared in the field of vision of Guo Sheng and Xu Huan.

Xu Huan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Bai Jingning and his son.

Guo Sheng also stood up, pulled Xu Huan back half a step, and reached out to lower the bamboo curtain halfway, blocking the few rays of sunlight that were shining obliquely, and also blocking the sight from outside.

The two stood side by side, looking at the father and son of the Bai family who were getting closer and closer.

Bai Jingning is medium-sized, straight, in his forties, he looks as if he is only in his early thirties, Bai Qiao has reached the age when he is starting to run, he is almost as tall as his father, but he is slightly thinner, straight as a bamboo. The two of them didn't walk very fast, and as they walked, they looked around.

Outside the city of Changzhou, the small towns and villages are rich places, although the city is not big, but it is very lively and prosperous, the more the Bai family father and son go inside, the more people, the slower they go.

Guo Sheng stood and watched for a while, then motioned to Xu Huan, "Let's go, let's take a look below, maybe we can take a few words." ”

Xu Huan hurriedly followed Guo Sheng out, Guo Sheng stuffed a very small piece of broken silver to the guy, "Tell your shopkeeper, this private room is reserved for me, let's take a stroll, and come back for lunch." ”

The man agreed, went to explain to the shopkeeper first, and then came back to clean up, close the door of the private room, and hang up the small sign that had been set.

Guo Sheng came to Xu Huan, came out of Leyuan Building, walked into a small alley in a few steps, walked out of the alley, turned two more alleys, put them on, straightened out his clothes, shook off the folding fan, greeted the Bai family father and son, and walked forward leisurely.

He has been to this Changzhou City twice, and he has plans to come, and he has long been familiar with the streets and alleys of the city.

didn't take a few steps, and I saw the Bai family father and son. Seeing the father and son of the Bai family standing in front of a stall with a large piece of woodcarved sea boats and other woodcarved objects that they didn't know what they were, Guo Sheng stabbed Xu Huan, and the two walked a few steps closer to the stall to see those very delicate woodcarvings.

"Sir isn't a local, is he?" Guo Sheng picked up the sea boat, which was only half a foot long, looked at it and put it down, raised his eyes to find the father and son of the Bai family, looked at it in surprise, and asked in an official voice with an obvious Qingzhou accent.

When Xu Huan heard Guo Sheng's question, he almost wanted to rush at him on the spot. He admired Lao Guo's ability to learn words, and he couldn't admire it anymore.

Hearing the thick Qingzhou accent in Guo Shengguan's words, Bai Jingning showed a smile on his face, "Mr. has good eyesight, Mr. is from Qingzhou?" ”

The ancestral home of the Bai family is Qingzhou.

"Qingzhou people? No, it isn't. Oh! Guo Sheng patted his forehead with the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly understood, "Mr. mean my accent?" Mr. must be from Qingzhou! The student and Xu Xiandi are both natives of Mingzhou, and when I was a child, I invited a gentleman to teach the teacher, and the gentleman was from Qingzhou, and he spoke Qingzhou official dialect, all of which I learned. ”

Guo Sheng said, laughing.
