Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Great Voyage of the Southern Barbarians
"What is this?"
Sohisa Imai quickly regained his merchant instincts, putting what had just happened behind him and carefully identifying this strange "treasure".
The glittering shell that seemed to be made of gold was inlaid with tiny diamonds, a piece of crystal glass was embedded in it, and several needles of different lengths automatically jumped in the middle of it, and next to the needles were characters called Arabic numerals, which were similar to the goods called pocket watches in the Nanban trading halls that Imai Munehisa had seen, but they were far more delicate than the Nanban objects he had seen before.
That's right, what Ye Ye took out was a modern expensive watch, which he found when he swept an underworld boss under Furtena before, although he couldn't read the brand, but the color of the local tyrant's gold that was only placed on the leader's table directly blinded Ye Ye's eyes, and he stuffed it into the storage space until he found it just now.
"This seems to be a Nanban timing item." Imai Munehisa looked at Ye Ye with certainty.
"That's right, but such a delicate and luxurious treasure is impossible for even those Nanban merchants to get their hands on. And unlike the current chronograph items of the Southern Barbarians, this treasure can not only be worn on the wrist at any time, but also does not need to be manually wound after a period of time, like those clocks, and can run on its own for decades without breaking, and is extremely accurate, with an error of no more than a few seconds a day. ”
Ye Ye demonstrated how to operate and check the time for Imai Sojiu one by one, which made the rich businessman nod again and again, and couldn't put it down: "It's really ingenious." ”
"I wonder how much Imai thinks this treasure will be worth?"
"This, how about 800?" Imai Munehisa tentatively proposed a price, although this price seemed slightly higher to him, but he had not forgotten the powerful force that the person in front of him had just shown, and he should be good friends with the other party. What's more, this treasure may not be worth the price, a treasure in the Nanban Merchant Hall in Jiezhen has a price tag of more than 2,000 yuan.
"Your Excellency Imai is really generous, so it's decided."
Although the price of this watch may be a loss if it is replaced by a modern one, Ye Ye doesn't care, for him, this kind of thing is like sand and stones by the beach in the infinite world, and it is not worth cherishing at all.
"It's just that I came in a hurry today, and I didn't have so much money with me, so why don't you go back with me to get the money?"
"No need, I'll be staying here for a few days, and Imai will send the money when he returns."
"In that case, Your Excellency, wait for a while, and I will send someone to deliver the money as soon as I get back."
When this happened, Imai Munehisa had no intention of staying to eat, so he got up and left in a hurry with his samurai.
"Imai-sama!"
As soon as he left the tavern, the proprietress chased after her from behind, panting, and bowed to Imai Munehisa in great trepidation, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen." ”
"It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with Ah Ye." Imai Munehisa waved his hand and ordered, "You are good to entertain this guest, don't be rude." ”
After about half an hour, Imai Munehisa really sent someone to convert the money into gold and silver, and by the way, there was also a token, which was equivalent to the VIP card of Naya (Imai Munehisa's Chamber of Commerce).
In the next few days, Ye Ye stayed in the boundary town, the boundary town where merchants, samurai, and ronins from all over the country gathered can be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the flow of information is also extremely fast, even if he does not deliberately investigate, the situation throughout the country also flows into his ears in an endless stream, such as the confrontation between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, the Imagawa family's change in Oda Nobunaga, and the persecution of the Miyoshi family to the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiteru, etc., true or false news in the mouths of the people in the boundary town.
Ye Ye stood in the noisy port, the moist sea breeze with the fishy smell of the sea blowing his hair head-on, it seemed to outsiders to be looking at the sea view in a distracted manner, but he didn't know that there were malicious thoughts rolling in his heart one after another.
Ye Ye was now thinking about whether to cut down Oda Nobunaga, the future sixth day demon king, in two days.
Although a series of actions by this great fool of Owari in the past two years have saved a lot of images, after the powerful Imagawa family announced Kamiraku, everyone thought that the Oda family was in danger and was about to perish in a blink of an eye. But Ye Ye knew that there would soon be a shocking reversal of the "Battle of the Narrows", and then Oda Nobunaga would sweep most of Japan with the momentum of fire, and use the bones of the fortress to cast his name as the No. 1 Demon King of the Warring States.
If Ye Ye cut him down when Oda Nobunaga has not risen now, not only will there be one less demon king in the Warring States, but Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, who is currently a foot light and low-born under his command, will change his name to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the future and unify Japan. Even if Imagawa was not defeated, the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu had to obediently continue to submit to his subordinates, and it was impossible to say that there would be no Tokugawa shogunate in the future.
It can be said that if Oda Nobunaga dies now, the entire history of Japan's Warring States period will be completely reversed, and how much will the source quality point income caused by this time and space shock, it is simply a million profits, how can Ye Ye not be moved?
Or simply go to Beijing and kill the emperor's family? Although both in this world and in real history, the emperors and ministers are very miserable, and they can't even pay for the enthronement and burial when they are most embarrassed, but they are known as "one line for all generations", and even until the 21st century, they have not cut off the incense.
With thoughts tumbling in his mind, Ye Ye stepped into a very luxuriously decorated and exotic merchant house in the port.
"That's the man, big brother."
At the same time that Ye Ye entered the merchant hall, several people in the dark alley not far away were staring at his back and whispering.
"Okay, tell the junior to get ready, and when he comes out, we'll do a big deal."
The ronin, who was called the eldest brother, saw Ye Ye enter the Nanban Merchant Hall, which was famous for its expensive goods, and his eyes couldn't stop flashing with greedy sparks, and his expression was hideous. A few days ago, Ye Ye sold a treasure to Imai Sojiu, and the news that he made a lot of money had already spread, although it was just a small wave in Jiezhen, where new things were emerging every day, it attracted the attention of people with hearts.
These ronins are just the most inferior warriors in the Boundary Town, although there are many rich people in the Boundary Town, but they are not something they can move lightly, and there are not many good prey like Ye Ye who is rootless and alone.
"But big brother, I heard that this guy is very powerful." A skinny ronin next to him said with some cringe.
slapped the thin ronin on the head, and the led ronin glared at him fiercely: "Waste, are so many of us still afraid of him?" What's more, this guy doesn't even bring a knife when he goes out, are you afraid of a fart? ”
"Yes, yes, that's what Big Brother said."
Ye Ye didn't know or care about these little insects that had made his own ideas, and strode into this Nanban merchant house proudly, and immediately two girls greeted her, with a high nose and deep eyes, but with the softness of an Oriental in her facial features, she was obviously a mixture of foreign seafarers and Japanese women.
Half a day later, Ye Ye walked out of the gate of the Nanban Merchant Hall with some disappointment, and there was a happy farewell sound from two mixed-race girls behind him.
Although he had just made a deal with the Nanban merchant and sold a few modern items that he had with him at a good price, it was useless for Ye Ye, who was just a passer-by in this world, to ask for so much money, and his purpose of coming this time was a failure.
Legend has it that the owner of the Chamber of Commerce is a beautiful young man with bright sun-like blonde hair, fair and delicate milk-like skin, and jewel-like eyes, which is also one of Ye Ye's goals this time.
The reason why I have a strong interest in this beautiful boy is not that there is anything wrong with Ye Ye's sexual orientation, but that this teenager named Raphael Castello is a character that Ye Ye is very familiar with, and it is not from the Taige Lizhi series, but from another product of Glorious Company - the protagonist of the Age of Exploration IV. For the Taige series, Ye Ye has only played it a few times and is not familiar with it, but the game Age of Exploration IV has accompanied him through the entire middle school period, and even the hard disk of his computer still has a power-enhanced version left.
For the real world, two games produced by the same company interspersed with personal characters as easter eggs are completely a small episode of knowing and laughing, but when one of the games becomes the entire real world, Ye Ye has to consider a question: In Japan outside the chaotic Warring States Period, does the whole world exist? Does the appearance of Raphael and Reilu (the other protagonist of the Age of Discovery, the owner of the Taiko 5 Hirado Town Nanban Merchant House) show that the whole world is actually in the magnificent Age of Discovery, and the entire Japanese Sengoku is only an insignificant part of the world map?
In addition, Ye Ye was also thinking about whether he could dig out some treasures from the Nanban Merchant Pavilion as the same node items as the little dragon Jingguang, thus opening a passage to the world of the Age of Discovery.
It's a pity that Raphael is not in Japan at the moment, Ye Ye has no chance to see it, and those Nanban treasures are just ordinary glass pots, jewelry and other goods, and they don't even have the function of adding attributes in the game, which makes Ye Ye disappointed.
"It seems that there is only one way to confirm it." Ye Ye muttered to himself and walked towards the area where the seafarers were mixed.
At this time, the two drunken ronins who were staggering passed by Ye Ye, and suddenly both drew their knives behind his back and slashed, but the two ronin knives had not yet come out of the sheath, and Ye Ye, who was in a bad mood, had already slammed his elbows on their cheeks, and two skull bursting sounds sounded clearly, and then the horizontal knee flying kick swing fist swept back, and Ye Ye's whirlwind series of neat Muay Thai attacks put down all the coveted ronin, strolling away as if nothing had happened.
Although the people around were shocked by Ye Ye's fast and ruthless movements, they seemed to be accustomed to this kind of fight here, and after Ye Ye left, someone came over and hastily rolled up the corpses of these few short-eyed ronin, and didn't know where they were dragged.
"Found it, it's this person, hurry up and report back to the master."
Just after Ye Ye left, an inconspicuous businessman in the surrounding crowd hurriedly left excitedly, carrying a string of Buddhist beads representing faith on his wrist.
