"It's a nice day today."

The captain of the boat stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the clear sky, and the smile on his face could be said to be very bright.

He had been saying this for more than ten days in a row, every day, and every day he couldn't say enough.

He has been at sea for decades, and he has to encounter a strong wind and waves every three or five days, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing that has been good weather for more than ten days in a row.

Nameless, dressed in blue, slowly walked to the side of the boat boss and asked, "Boat boss, how many days can we get to Dongying?" ”

The boat boss smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, it will take half a month to say the least, but the weather has been really good recently, and we can arrive in Dongying in three or two days at most." ”

Speaking of Dongying, the smile on the face of the boat boss couldn't help but become brighter.

It was as if he had seen a lot of white silver beckoning to him, flying towards his waist.

Nameless heard the words of the ship's boss and asked curiously, "Is it rare to have such good weather at sea?" ”

The boat boss laughed and replied: "This gentleman, you are probably going to sea for the first time, so I don't know, I have been at sea for forty years since I was ten years old, and I have to stay at sea for at least seven or eight months every year. ”

Nameless Wenyan nodded lightly and said, "In this way, it is indeed rare. ”

The boat boss continued: "When I get to Toei, I will sell the goods of this ship first, and then take a few people to Kyoto for a good visit, there are many interesting places here." ”

Saying that, the boat boss also handed Nameless a slightly obscene look, and it could only be said that even Nameless, who had not been close to women for many years, understood what the boat boss wanted to express at the first time.

Nameless and the ship boss didn't continue to communicate much, and soon returned to the cabin.

Two days later, on a sunny afternoon, they finally saw the pier in Kyoto from afar.

At this time, there were many large and small fishing boats near the Kyoto wharf, and when they saw the two boats approaching from afar, almost all of them stopped what they were doing and looked this way.

The boss of the boat stood at the bow of the boat, looked at these fishermen, and shouted in a very skilled Dongying dialect: "I am Lao Wu from the Central Plains Daming, and I have brought you the latest porcelain!" ”

This is what the ship boss will shout every time he comes to Dongying and is about to land.

He has been shouting this sentence for more than ten years, and every time he shouts it, most of these fishermen will show great excitement and excitement, put down their work, and quickly go to Kyoto to spread the news so that more people know about their arrival.

But this time, it was very strange that these fishermen were indifferent to his shouts, and their eyes looked very strange, and they were not at all as excited and excited as they had been in the past, which made the boat boss feel a little puzzled.

"It's strange, why aren't these Dongying people enthusiastic at all?"

The boat boss couldn't help but scratch his head.

Nameless, Po Jun and Jian Chen stood on the bow of the ship, overlooking Kyoto in the distance, looking at these buildings that were very different from the Central Plains style, the three of them had different moods.

Po Jun said to Nameless: "Senior brother, this is Dongying Kyoto, and it is also the most prosperous place in Dongying. ”

The expression on Nameless's face was subtle, and in his eyes, the so-called most prosperous Kyoto was not much different from the small town in the south of the Yangtze River in his impression, and it could not be compared with the capital and Jinling at all.

However, he was not surprised by this, after all, Dongying is just a small place, and it is normal for Kyoto to be smaller.

Jian Chen was also quite disappointed in his heart, he thought that even if Dongying Kyoto was not as prosperous as their Ming capital, at least it should be almost the same as Hangzhou, but looking at the low and simple wooden houses in front of him, it was really difficult for him to associate this place with words like "Kyoto".

Po Jun looked at the fishermen near the dock at this time, frowned and said, "It's a little weird. ”

Nameless Wen Yan glanced at Po Jun, and then followed Po Jun's gaze to the fisherman who was quite cold, and asked, "What's weird?" ”

Po Jun replied: "Although I have never traveled between two places, in the past ten years in Dongying, I have seen several merchant ships here from the Central Plains, once the people of Dongying see these merchant ships coming, they all cheer and rush to tell each other, they should never be so indifferent." ”

Nameless heard Po Jun's explanation, and his face showed a look of thought, and said, "Maybe something happened that we don't know." ”

During this time, they have been adrift on the sea, completely cut off from the exchange of information and communication with the outside world.

The last time they came to Dongying on this merchant ship was a few months ago, and after such a long time, maybe something special happened in Dongying, so the people of Dongying no longer welcomed the arrival of merchant ships.

But there is no point in speculating about this now, and when you inquire about the news after you go ashore, you will naturally know everything.

Just as Nameless was talking to Po Jun, the boat boss came over, he glanced at the nameless three, and said, "Several, it's best not to walk around after you get ashore, let's go to my friend's house here with me first." ”

When he spoke, the ship's face was not good-looking, and he looked preoccupied.

Obviously, he also sensed a hint of something wrong in the not very enthusiastic and even somewhat indifferent expressions of these Dongying people.

Over the years, he has been going back and forth between the Central Plains and Dongying, and naturally has familiar friends in Dongying, and before he knows what happened, he does not plan to start selling the goods in the ship, but to inquire about the news before making plans.

Nameless They were going to find out the news, but of course they wouldn't refuse when they heard the captain say this.

Nameless immediately agreed, "That's very good." ”

Soon, the big ship slowly docked at the Kyoto pier.

The boat boss stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the familiar officials standing on the dock, and asked in Dongying dialect: "Brother Dongye, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

If it was in the past, Keio Higashino would have greeted the boat boss with a warm smile on his face when he heard the boat boss greet him like this.

But this time, he just looked at the boat boss coldly, and didn't seem to hear the boat boss's call.

When the boat boss saw Keio Higashino behaving like this, the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more intense, and the smile on his face became very reluctant.

When the boat docked, the boat boss ordered someone to set up a ladder and prepare to disembark.

In the past, he would have the guys unload the goods from the ship, move them to the warehouse near the docks, and then transfer them from the warehouse to the bazaar for sale, but this time he didn't do that, he decided to leave all the goods on the ship, and leave everyone to take care of the goods in case of accidents.

This time, except for the nameless three, there was only the boss of the boat.

After the boat boss got off the boat, he tried to continue to communicate with Keio Higashino, but Keio Higashino was determined not to pay attention to the boss of the ship, and he kept a cold face and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the captain of the ship no longer used his hot face to stick his cold buttocks, and after paying the fees for landing and docking the ship, he walked towards the outside of the dock with the nameless three.

Walking on the road, the boat boss couldn't help but look at Nameless a few times and asked, "Brothers, can you give me a thorough understanding of Lao Wu, how is your kung fu?" ”

When he first met Nameless them, the boat boss knew that they were all good players with good martial arts and extraordinary backgrounds, so he had always been polite to the Nameless Three.

Today, in the face of this strange situation on the dock in Kyoto, the boat boss is calm on the surface, and it is inevitable that he is a little flustered in his heart, so if there are a few good players around him who can be trusted, he can also be more calm.

Nameless heard the words of the boat boss, naturally understood what the boat boss was thinking, he smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You can rest assured." ”

The boat boss saw that Nameless was so confident, and his heart was a little more confident.

Although he has a friend in Kyoto who has been with him for more than 20 years, this is a Toei person after all, and in such a foreign country, it is still unknown to these fellow villagers who feel closer and more at ease.

The boat boss and his party of four walked through the streets of Kyoto.

This so-called street does not even have a single bluestone floor tile, it is full of dirt roads, and even uneven.

The dumping of garbage, wastewater, and other things on both sides of the street is really unsightly, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is hard for Nameless and Kenchen to believe that this is the environment of Toei Kyoto.

Before, he thought that this Kyoto was about the same size as a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it seems that it is just about the same scale.

When the sky was slightly dark, the nameless group finally arrived near the door of the boat boss's friend's house.

The captain of the ship whispered to the nameless them: "This friend of mine is called Mitsui An, who inherited the family's property, and the warehouse I rented belongs to his family, and he also stays at his house every year when he comes to sell goods. If he had changed his attitude towards me, it would have been a big mess! ”

As he spoke, the boat boss had already walked to a separate courtyard, which was not particularly large, but it looked clean and tidy, much better than other places.

The boat boss walked straight to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the courtyard door, and then shouted loudly in Dongying dialect: "Mitsui! It's me! Old Wu! ”

As the shouts of the boat boss fell, it didn't take long for hurried footsteps to come from the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was opened a crack, and then a middle-aged bald man in a samurai uniform poked his head out, and after seeing the boat boss, the look on his face suddenly became a little surprised!

"Quick, come in!"

Mitsui Ann beckoned to the boat boss, his voice was low, as if he was afraid of being discovered here.

Seeing this, the captain of the boat glanced back at the nameless three and beckoned the three to go in together.
