Chapter 175: Pushing the Boat with the Current
As long as you know a little bit of common sense in this era, you know that the value of pound sterling gold coins is much higher than ordinary gold coins, and in this era, paper money gradually flourished, and gold coins gradually withdrew from circulation, becoming a symbol of identity and status, especially the bag of gold coins that Ye Song took out, which was issued before the arrival of the steam power era, and if it was above the black market, it could be sold at least fifteen times the price. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's a lot of money even for a York who is definitely a lot.
Dong Heng and Du Qing, who were standing behind Ye Song, also showed a slight look of surprise, they didn't covet these gold coins, after all, for the trialists, money has no meaning, what they didn't expect was that Ye Song got such a large amount of money from somewhere, originally the two of them planned to snatch it directly, although they couldn't use force, but York was just a middle-aged man with a bulky body, and it was naturally not much effort to deal with him.
"Well, it's a good deal." Ye Song looked at York with a smile, grabbed a few gold coins and shook them in his hand, making a crisp crashing sound, "With your eyesight, you should be able to see that its value is far greater than the dagger in your hand." ”
Ye Song got this bag of gold coins purely by chance, he overheard a nobleman boasting about his collection to show off the value of gold pounds, and before getting off the ship today, he took the sheep and took the gold coins from the nobleman's cabin in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to be useful here.
York's small eyes widened slightly, revealing an undisguised look of greed, as if he was afraid that Ye Song would regret it, he grabbed the bag of gold coins before throwing the dagger in his hand on the counter.
Ye Song didn't say a word of nonsense, grabbed the dagger, his right arm trembled slightly, and he shook his head slightly at Dong Heng and Du Qing, and the three of them walked out of the grocery store quickly and left the alley.
Ye Song was silent, burying his head and hurrying forward, Dong Heng and Du Qing followed behind him, and the three of them came to a clearing separated by two rows of buildings, and then stopped.
At this time, the three of them were already far away from the grocery store, so they could not monitor Ye Xue's movements, which was not in line with the plan that began to be discussed, Dong Heng was very dissatisfied, and was about to ask Ye Song, Ye Song stopped suddenly, turned around, and handed over the dagger in his hand.
Dong Heng was slightly stunned, subconsciously reached out and took the dagger, as soon as his fingers touched the dagger, his expression immediately changed, only to see the flat mark glow faintly, and a strange energy fluctuation immediately poured into the mark in the palm of his hand.
"This is ......" Dong Heng's eyes widened, and undisguised joy flashed on his face.
Ye Song handed the dagger to Du Qing again, and Du Qing immediately left all his doubts behind, revealing a look of surprise.
Ye Song fumbled with the dagger for a moment, quickly untied the mechanism, and found a paper scroll from the hilt of the knife, which unfolded and was a yellowed map.
"We guessed right." Dong Heng came back to his senses, looked at the map in Ye Song's hand, and could hardly suppress his excitement.
Ye Song nodded, carefully distinguishing the authenticity of the map, "The map should be real, although I have not received the Chosen Mission, but it can resonate with the imprint of the system, this is indeed the sign of the Chosen Mission, our luck seems to be really good." ”
"However," Ye Song frowned slightly, looking at the contents on the map, and said thoughtfully, "If we want to get the treasure, we need to make a choice." ”
This map, which shows the area of Queenstown in the Queenstown Excellence Range in western Queenstown, is dozens of kilometers from the port, and even the fastest horse-drawn carriage can take an hour to get there, which means that if they miss the Titanic's departure.
You know, the ship docked in Queenstown for two hours, and now there is less than an hour left before the boat starts, and it is impossible for them to come back on time without using any props or skills at this time.
After listening to Ye Song's explanation, Du Qing and Dong Heng looked at each other, their task this time was to assist Xie Kun to solve the night snow, and deserted off the boat to track the night snow halfway, it can also be said that it was to collect intelligence, but if the ship was mistaken, the task could not be completed, and if they did not get the cross medal in the end, they were afraid that they would not only bear Xie Kun's anger, but also face Feng Hai's punishment.
As long as they are in the team, everyone has seen those terrifying punishment methods that can be called nightmares, and no one dares to make mistakes easily, to challenge Feng Hai's authority, and touch Feng Hai's bottom line.
Thinking of the torture they had witnessed, Du Qing and Dong Heng couldn't help but turn slightly pale, and even Ye Song's expression was a little weird.
"Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve." Du Qing frowned and was silent for a long time, looked at Ye Song and Dong Heng, and said hesitantly, "Although the Titanic is known as the fastest, it is only a passenger ship, I saw a lot of speedboats and sailboats at the dock, and the speed of speedboats in this era has been greatly improved, as long as we don't delay too much time, theoretically, we can take a speedboat or the best fast sail and catch up with the Titanic." ”
Ye Song and Dong Heng's four eyes were staring at Du Qing, Du Qing licked his dry lips a little nervously, "When I got off the boat just now, I was in a dock on the east side of the dock, and I saw the latest speedboat, the ship just left the port and won't drive too fast, we have every chance to catch up......"
Before Du Qing's words were finished, Dong Heng suddenly raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a little surprise, "Okay, I didn't expect you kid to be a little useful, since this is the case, then what are we waiting for, it's only serious to set off quickly." And if we can really get the Cross, even if we don't complete the task, there will definitely be no problems, Yexue, this woman can be killed at any time, even if we are not there, even Brother Kun can do it alone. ”
Ye Song originally planned to make a plan and let Ye Xue concentrate on dealing with Xie Kun, even if there was no method proposed by Du Qing, he planned to find a way to persuade the two to find the treasure, so naturally he would not raise objections.
The three of them had agreed, and without further delay, they hurried out of the alley, onto the main road, and rode in a carriage towards Queenstown.
By the window of a shop on the street, Ye Xue stood behind a thick velvet curtain with a hat, watched Ye Song and the three of them say a few words to the coachman, and then got into the carriage.
The carriage quickly disappeared from sight, and Ye Xue's heart was slightly relieved, and she handed her hat to the clerk with a courteous face behind her, turned to leave the store, and walked briskly along the main road in the opposite direction.
