Chapter 37: Li Qianqiao
The Wharf is the area along the banks of the River Lo at Charlotte Gate, a narrow area from east to west, with industrial areas and busy boat docks on the lower east side, and restaurants, nightclubs and residential buildings on the upper side.

The country of Luo Lan can be said to be the safest and most economically prosperous of the four kingdoms.
However, Charlotte also gathers many people who want to leave the country of Loran, who have an adventurous heart and want to explore the unknown world outside. Li Qianqiao is one of them.
She was dressed in a white dress, with a sword at her waist, and her high heels made a "click, click" sound on the clean and bright floor; she behaved elegantly, and sat by the window with her white dress up, her long gray hair coiled behind her head, looking dignified and elegant; she raised her head, but the eyebrows above her red phoenix eyes were peculiar, because its shape was like a teardrop that wanted to fall into that pool of autumn water.
She said to the waiter, "A cup of coffee, thank you!"
As she came in and sat down, the people around her were talking about her.
"Why is her eyebrows raised?"
"yes, I haven't seen it either, but it's pretty good, like a teardrop. ”
Li Qianqiao didn't care about these discussions, until a voice whispered: "Shh, don't say it, you look at her dress, that gray hair, and iconic snake eyebrows, you know that she is the daughter of the Li family of the Mulan Group." ”
Is it recognized? It seemed to her that she would have to change her outfit.
"Uhhh
A whistle sounded, and a transport ship docked, with the Magnolia flag on its bow, apparently belonging to the Mulan Group. The transport ship unloaded the cargo here, and the sailors and guards on board would return after a day's rest, and the large magnolia cargo ship that had docked a few days ago would continue to transport the cargo to the lower plains of the Luo River.
Li Qianqiao entered a clothing store after drinking coffee, and after a while, he came out wearing a simple floral cloth shirt, two strands of hair hanging down on his temples, quite plain and elegant, and the high heels under his feet were also replaced with canvas shoes.
She walked into the ticket office, but the conductor told her that there were no passenger tickets for the past few days - Charlotte had always been very nervous about tickets. She just wandered along the riverbank, looking at the flowing Luo River, busy people walking around her, feeling more calm than ever.
She had had enough of the aristocratic life, and in her eyes, the so-called high society was full of stupid and self-righteous people. The teacher at the Hunter Academy told her that the world was like an abandoned garden, which looked lush and thriving on the surface, but in fact it was infested with pests and dangers. But the nobles were concerned only with their own possessions, and were unaware of the danger that was coming.
So, she secretly boarded the ship to Charlotte Gate and chose to run away from home. She decides to go to the country of Shiyue, where she has the most advanced technology and the most powerful army, and she wants to find her place there.
After an afternoon of walking along the banks of the Luo River, the transport ship had unloaded its cargo onto the Magnolia large cargo ship. Maybe I can take this transport ship tomorrow? I said that I was entrusted by my father to go to Shi Yue Kingdom to supervise the production and transportation of Yuanshi. Li Qianqiao thought to herself.
The wheelhouse and engine room of this cargo ship are arranged in the aft section, the cargo hatch is wide, the inner floor is connected to the side side with an upward slope side plate to facilitate the concentration of cargo in the center of the cargo hold, and there are inclined top side compartments on the two sides of the deck and the hatch to restrict the movement of cargo. There is no need for loading and unloading equipment, as a gangplank can be placed on the side of the dock to allow the trailer to enter and exit directly.
This cargo ship was designed not only for the convenience of transporting goods, but also to take into account the change in gravity when passing by the Snake Gate Falls.
The superstructure of the cargo ship is mainly used for piloting and crew life, and it has some special designs, such as all objects can be fixed. Since it was a cargo ship, and it was relatively safe between Charlotte Gate and Xinhai City, there were only a dozen guards on board. As for the Black Bear Gang, the Mulan Group had signed an agreement with them before, and the Black Bear Gang was responsible for protecting the security of the Mulan Group's property in the port, and the Mulan Group only needed to pay them a certain commission.
Li Qianqiao is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and she still knows a lot about these economic affairs. But when she approached the cargo ship, she found that there seemed to be more people from the Black Bear Gang around her, and each of them had guns or sticks, not like they were here to protect the cargo ship, but more like - robbery?
As she watched the black suits sneak towards cargo ships and transports, she felt more and more that the idea was reasonable.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Qianqiao looked back, a tall and strong man was standing behind him, and the civilians around him were also being dispersed by these people in black suits. She is not short, she can reach 1.8 meters when wearing 7 cm heels on weekdays, she is used to looking down on others, and no one dares to speak to herself like this.
"Do you mean me?" Li Qianqiao showed a smile like a warm sun, looking approachable and aristocratic.
The strong man looked left and right, and all the irrelevant people were dispersed, and he asked rhetorically, "Is there anyone else here besides you?"
"Can that trouble you with honorifics?"
Before the strong man could react, he saw a big hand stretched out in the void and picked him up, and then threw him out with a flick.
The black suits around were all stunned, this is a big strong man of 1.9 meters, and he will throw it away. At this time, a leading person came over with a bazooka, "If you know each other, get out of here quickly, it's best for our Black Bear Gang not to interfere." ”
The big hand in the void retracted again, and a circle disappeared out of thin air. Li Qianqiao raised her hand, holding a delicate thin sword in her hand - the blade of this thin sword was hollowed out from beginning to end, like a fragile work of art, and her voice was cold, "I'm sorry, I still have to meddle in this matter." ”
"Then let your family collect your body!" the leader said, and with a "bang", a rocket whistled out at a speed of 120m/s.
Li Qianqiao also put the sword in front of her at the same time, stepped forward, and a magic circle was generated under her feet, only to hear a "bang" The whole person flew out and passed by the rocket. A long, thin cigarette rose from where she had been standing, but there was no sign of her. And the leader had a delicate sword in front of his neck, and he was so shocked that he didn't even dare to swallow it, because the slightest movement of the Adam's apple would touch the tip of the sword.
"Let them all stop. The sword's owner twisted his head to the side, and only a strand of gray hair could be seen still shaking.
The black suits nearby panicked and whispered to themselves not knowing what to do, while the black suits in the distance didn't care about this side and were already boarding the ship. There were only a dozen guards on the cargo ship, and dozens of guards on the other transport ship, all of whom went up to the deck to shoot at the Black Bears.
"Go and grab the boat, and leave it to me here. A voice rang out, it was the chicken boy (a tall and thin man), who didn't care about the life or death of the leader.
