The iron ship has three floors, and many A-shaped rooms are on the third floor. On the second floor there is a small hall, similar to the layout of a restaurant, with a variety of alcohol and food, different from the three meals a day that are fixed, but at an additional cost.

Xu Kou said that he wanted to drink, so he went to the second floor, Qi Xuansu didn't mind having a few drinks, but considering Liuhu, he still decided to send Liuhu back to the room first, and then go to Xu Kou for a drink.

As soon as Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu went up the stairs, they walked with a person.

This person is dressed as a gentry, revealing a bit of weirdness, judging from his appearance, his skin is slightly rough, and even a little black, which is all traces left by the wind and sun, and is far from the pampered gentry. However, it is not absolute, some gentry from well-to-do families like to travel all over the world, and even go to sea in person, and it is reasonable to be rough.

After all, it is no longer the era of Confucianism, which is only a high level of reading, but an era of Taoism that is expensive and natural.

Walking in all directions is also natural.

Qi Xuansu was looking at this person, this person was also looking at Qi Xuansu and the two, his eyes swept over the willow lake beside Qi Xuansu, and fell on the "Divine Dragon Fire Gun" on Qi Xuansu's waist, and his face changed slightly.

The "Divine Dragon Fire Hammer" can only be issued by the black-clothed generals of guerrilla and above, and others can only spend money to buy the "Divine Dragon Hammer" if they want it. However, most of those who dare to openly wear handcuffs on their waists have the background of the imperial court or the Taoist sect, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble.

The person hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "This brother is a man in black?" ”

"Exactly." Qi Xuansu nodded.

"No wonder, no wonder." The man nodded, "There are really not many people on land who dare to openly carry firearms. ”

Qi Xuansu asked with interest, "Land...... Does everyone at sea carry a firecracker? ”

"Pretty much. After all, far away from the land, there is no official errand, so you can only rely on yourself for everything, not only to guard against pirates, but also to guard against your own people, and fire guns and swords are indispensable. This person touched his waist, "It's not a secret, I'm also an old seafarer for many years, but I didn't expect that after I came back, the imperial court was not allowed to carry firecrackers at will, and those old guys who have been with me for many years can only be kept at home, which is still quite unaccustomed." ”

In the past, the possession of crossbows and armor was regarded as rebellion, but now the armor and crossbows are banned in the same way as the bright yellow color, and all kinds of firearms are mainly restricted.

As for the talisman armor that can resist firearms, the craftsmanship requirements are extremely high, and it is the proud handiwork of the Daomen Tianji Hall, and it is on a par with the Lingguan armor of the Transformation Hall. Those who can be restricted by the ban of the imperial court cannot imitate this kind of armor, and those who can imitate this kind of armor do not care about the ban of the imperial court at all.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "There is no ghost in Xia Wei, and you haven't asked your brother Taigao for his name?" ”

"Wang Baoyue." The man took out an iron box from his sleeve pocket, took out a paper flue-cured cigarette and handed it to Qi Xuansu.

"Sorry, no." Qi Xuansu waved his hand and asked with interest, "Brother Tai said that he is an old seaman, where have you been?" ”

In fact, Qi Xuansu is still quite interested in overseas things, and there has been a boom in going to sea on the rivers and lakes, saying that there are gold and silver mountains in the New World, and many people who go to sea have indeed made a fortune, which makes Qi Xuansu's heart quite itchy, after all, he has no parents and elders, no children and children, and no wives and brothers in the middle, Qi Niang doesn't have to worry about him, he really doesn't have anything to worry about. In addition, at that time, Qi Xuansu had no opportunity to return to the Daomen, and he was alone, and he was going anywhere, so he moved his mind to go to sea.

It was only later that Qi Xuansu learned that now it is not as good as in the early years, it costs money to go to sea, buy a batch of goods, take them on the ship, and then go to the West and the New World, so that he can make a fortune. If you are alone, you can only do some work as a sailor and crew to earn a hard-earned money.

Young people always have ambition and arrogance, Qi Xuansu refused to be a sailor at the mercy of others, and he was so poor that he had no capital, so he wanted to borrow money from Qi Niang, but he was unceremoniously reprimanded, ridiculed, taught, and scolded by Qi Niang, saying that he was not a material for trading at all, and he still stayed honest, and when she found a way, he might be able to arrange a suitable errand for him.

Qi Xuansu didn't have the kind of temperament in his bones that he had to screw with his elders and providence, and after being scolded by Qi Niang, he accepted the idea of going to sea to make a fortune, but Qi Niang really didn't lie to him, and after several twists and turns, he let him enter Tiangang Hall, so he got to know Zhang Yuelu and had a bright future and future. As for encountering an accident and having to hide his identity, it's all a later story.

Qi Xuansu still has a lot of feelings when he thinks of this past dream, and he still has a longing for the overseas world.

Wang Baoyue is indeed an old seaman, and he roughly talked about the places he has been to, introducing the customs and customs of various places, the Japanese knives and gold of Fenglinzhou, the wood and rubber of Borneo, the sari and essence of Bosuozhou, the firearms and ships of the West, as well as the tobacco and silver of the New World, which made Qi Xuansu very fascinated.

Qi Xuansu even thought that if he couldn't return to Daomen, he could also go to sea, and maybe he could become a wealthy sea merchant.

The two talked about it, and Qi Xuansu proposed: "Meeting is fate, there is a small hall on the second floor, and I happen to have a friend drinking there, why don't we go and get together at a table?" I'm in for a treat. ”

Wang Baoyue waved his hand and said, "Forget it this time." Next time, next time. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's today." ”

Wang Baoyue said: "Brother Wei's friend may not be my friend, there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation, so forget it." If Brother Wei really wants to drink, why don't you go to my room, I just brought a bottle of Fenglinzhou's sake, compared with our rice wine, white wine, and Western red wine, it's hard to say which is better or worse, but it has a different taste. ”

Qi Xuansu thought about it for a while, patted Liu Hu, and said, "Xiaohu, go tell Uncle Xu and let him drink it himself, I won't accompany him." Then you go back to your room and don't have to wait for me. ”

Liu Hu nodded obediently and turned to leave.

Wang Baoyue had a smile on his face, and stretched out a hand: "Brother Wei, please." ”

Wang Baoyue's room is also a first-class room, very spacious, divided into inside and outside, inside is a bedroom, outside is a small living room, there are tables and chairs, and carpets, very exquisite.

The two sat down separately, Wang Baoyue took out a fashionable blue-green glass wine bottle and two snake eye glasses, and explained with a smile: "In fact, the saying of 'sake' is still passed from our Central Plains, and there is a cloud in "Tianguan Jiuzheng": distinguish the things of three wines, one is called Shijiu, the second is the old wine, and the third is sake. Drink when you have something, and drink when you have something. In the past, I drank it without anything. Sake, sacrificial sake. After it was passed to Fenglinzhou, it changed its appearance, although it is still called sake, but it is no longer the same kind of wine as our sake in the Central Plains. Sake is a thing that is afraid of light, and it will change color after seeing the light for a long time, so after pouring it out, it is best to drink it all in one go. ”

While speaking, Wang Baoyue poured a full cup for Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu picked up the wine glass and glanced at it, but it was really as clear as water, not turbid.

Wang Baoyue poured himself another glass of wine, and then picked up the snake eye cup with spiral stripes at the bottom of the glass: "Brother Wei, please." After speaking, he took a sip first, took a shot at the bottom of the cup, and looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu had never drunk this kind of wine, but he was still quite interested, so he drank all the wine in the cup, and then took a look at the bottom of the cup.

As for the taste, it is slightly fragrant and has a hint of sweetness, and women and children can also drink a little. When it comes to women, he can't help but think of Zhang Yuelu, she probably doesn't like this kind of wine, it's too soft, she prefers spirits with a strong smell of wine.

"Brother Wei is happy." Wang Baoyue filled Qi Xuansu with another glass, and the two pushed the cups to change the lamp, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Wang Baoyue continued to tell Qi Xuansu the story of the sea, and a bottle of sake quickly bottomed out.

Qi Xuansu did not deliberately resist the power of the wine, enjoying the feeling of being slightly drunk, accidentally touched the chopsticks to the ground, and leaned over to pick them up.

Then Qi Xuansu found that there was a slight crimson and almost black color on the carpet, ordinary people may not care, but for Qi Xuansu, an old Jianghu, this color is very familiar, this is the color of blood.

Sake changes color when it sees light for a long time, and the same goes for blood, and after a long time, the color turns black, and judging from the degree of blackening, it doesn't seem to be a long time ago.

Qi Xuansu suddenly sobered up a little and slowly straightened up.

Saw the mouth of a black hole.

He often pointed at other people's heads with a firecracker, but there was not much experience of being pointed at the head by others.
