Chapter 37: The Royal Dart Game
The person who came was Huang Jin, the old man who was full of female yellow.
"Good apprentice, I haven't seen you this year, it's always been good?" Huang Jin was dressed in light armor, with two attendants behind him, and said to Zhao Chuan with a smile.
"How can there be a year, ten months at most." Zhao Chuan is worthy of saying, and he doesn't really want to meet this Jianghu Langzhong who has fake medical skills.
"Hahaha, since the last time we broke up, I've been living like a year, and I want to be a fussman!" Huang Jin took a sour text of crepe, and changed the past full of rivers and lakes.
I'm good, when did this yellow liar with medical skills join the army and abandon medicine to join the army? Seeing the armor on Huang Jin's body, Zhao Chuan was a little puzzled.
Huang Jin waved his hand to let Xiao Er leave, and when he saw Zhao Chuan's puzzled look, he immediately proudly explained that he was now a military medical officer on this luxury passenger ship.
War? Zhao Chuan was even more surprised, "Isn't this a passenger ship?" What kind of army are you following? ”
Huang Jin said with a smile that this was the case, because the river boat was robbed last time and suffered huge losses, not only did it kill people and damage the boat, but also greatly affected its reputation. This is how the official shipping can suffer such humiliation, so the official in charge specially assigned a sergeant to escort the ship, and when he saw the notice on the dock saying that he wanted to hire a military doctor with a high salary, he applied for the job and was fortunate to be selected.
Huang Jin was very proud, patted the light armor on his body and said that he was now a medical officer, an official as strong as a people, and there were a few small followers under him, which was much stronger than wandering around as a wandering party!
Huang Jin also said that after a few months of his own performance, he is now not only a military doctor on the ship, but also a military advisor, clerk, and bookkeeper on the ship. This luxury passenger ship can be rated as the most advanced service flight every quarter, and it is the safest and most secure flight, and the most profitable flight......
The more Huang Jin spoke, the happier he became, and pulled Zhao Chuan to the deck, "Look, there is one main gun on the front and rear decks, three secondary guns on the left and right, and two small guns on the top deck." This total of ten guns is simply invincible on this inland river, even if the gunboats of the navy come, they have to weigh their own firepower! ”
Zhao Chuan said that it would cost a lot of money.
Huang Jin said that it is not, after the ship was robbed and damaged last time, it was pulled to the Jiangnan Shipyard for three months, and the entire hull of the ship was covered with a layer of iron sheet, and it was no longer afraid of fire attack, and the power was added to two wheel blade propellers. Even the correspondence was thought of, and a new carrier pigeon was added, and a post office was set up.
Good guys, now the function of luxury passenger ships has been upgraded, not only passenger ships, but also cruise ships and mail ships.
"How much money is going to be wasted?" Zhao Chuan looked up and down, left and right, and praised in his mouth.
"Yes, yes, but the wool is out of the sheep! Good class tickets have gone up. Huang Jin said that rich people don't care about how much they take the boat, they only care about safety, comfort and convenience.
Think about it, too.
"Do you know how much silver you charge for first class?" Huang Jin asked.
"I don't know, the first class is so scared that I retreat, how can I ask the first class again." Zhao Chuan said.
"Four hundred and eighty taels of silver!" Huang Jindao.
"It's so expensive, which one is going to live there?" Zhao Chuan pouted.
Huang Jin said that you don't understand, and now you are rushing to stop it.
"You know what? There is a royal suite on the third floor of the ship, and there is only one copy. The ticket price is 1,000 taels! Huang Jin stretched out a finger and shook it.
"The Royal Suite? Specially for the emperor to live? ”
"As long as you have money, anyone can live?" Huang Jin smiled.
"Does anyone live?" Zhao Chuan felt that the ship was getting weirder and weirder, and he didn't know who gave these bad ideas.
"Yes!"
"And who lives in the Royal Suite now?" Zhao Chuan came to curiosity.
"Lord Hou!" Huang Jin lowered his voice.
"Which prince?"
Seeing Zhao Chuan's confused face, Huang Jin put it into Zhao Chuan's ear again, "Which one else can it be?" There is only one prince in the world, that is, the old prince of Tongwenchengtong, the county lord who lives in Jiangzhou City! ”
Zhao Chuan was stunned, he was originally the least concerned about the people and things in the officialdom, for so long he only knew that there was a marquis in Jiangzhou, and he also treated his sedan chair husband on the mountain road of Lingyin Mountain for his leg injury, and there was no intersection since. Even so, he didn't really say a word to the other side.
"It turns out that Master Hou's name is Tong Wencheng." Zhao Chuan said to himself, "Doesn't he have eight sedan chairs, what is he doing on the boat?" ”
Originally, this time I wanted to go to Jiangzhou City to find Master Xiaoyaozi, and by the way, I went to the nearby Nanfeng County to find trouble with the government officials and the county order.
"Oh, oh, it turned out to be him......" Zhao Chuan thought thoughtfully, his eyes were misty on the river, and he still said to himself.
Seeing Zhao Chuan standing on the deck, he didn't know what he was thinking. Huang Jin was also a little stunned, and after thinking about it, he asked Zhao Chuan if he knew Hou Ye.
"Of course...... Of course......" Zhao Chuan nodded, looking drunk and infatuated.
Zhao Chuan's appearance stunned Huang Jin at once, but he knew that Zhao Chuan was not sick, he still knew something about Zhao Chuan, this kid has been an auspicious god since he appeared beside him.
From the beginning, he was injured and thrown in the wilderness, if Zhao Chuan hadn't passed by and rescued him, he would have died. Later, he practiced medicine with him all the way, in Qishan Town, on the passenger ship to Jiangzhou, and at the intersection with the Han family...... Which time was it not because of Zhao Chuan that he got the benefits of fame and fortune.
Let's just say that this time, if I hadn't pretended to be a doctor for the Han family, people would have been able to use myself as a medical officer on the ship. The Han family has a big business, and in recent years, it has developed into several nearby counties.
Well, looking at Zhao Chuan's expression, Hou Ye may be able to hand it over by himself, and then he will not be a medical officer with a passenger ship, maybe he will be a medical officer of Hou Ye's mansion, and Hou Ye will have 200,000 elite soldiers under him......
Huang Jin was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked Zhao Chuan if he was still upgraded? I will go to the first class cabin to find him again to catch up, and say that those rooms are very soundproof, and it is not too convenient to talk here.
"L! Ahh Why don't you go up, fools don't know how to enjoy it. Zhao Chuan immediately took the seven girls to the new cabin.
Although more than 700 years have passed, the seven girls rarely get involved in the world, and most of them stay in the barren mountains and mountains to cultivate hard. Wherever Zhao Chuan goes, she is naturally happy, in her own words, her one hundred years is only equivalent to two years of social experience for human beings. So she said that her 700 years old can only be equivalent to 15 years of human beings.
The first class cabin is a three-bedroom apartment with windows, on the top three floors of the most passenger ship. The first class cabin is on the second floor, which is a two-bedroom living room with windows.
Not long after living in the first-class cabin, Huang Jin came to visit.
Huang Jin pointed to the seven girls and said, where did you find this follower?
Zhao Chuan said that just like you, he was rescued and picked up on the road.
Huang Jin said that I am your master, how can I be the same as her, Zhao Chuan said I didn't recognize you, you insisted on forcing me to be an apprentice.
Huang Jin said, Do you know Hou Ye? Zhao Chuan said that he should have seen me, and I have also seen him, but I have not communicated with him face-to-face, because he is a Hou Ye, not a grade, and we don't know his background.
Huang Jin said I know something, listen to me.
Huang Jin began to tell that Hou Ye's name was Tong Wencheng, and twenty years ago he was a bandit leader who occupied the king, and opened a dart bureau in many cities as a cover, called Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and colluded with officials in many places, and was famous far and wide.
One day, someone suddenly came to beg and asked for a dart, but the person who protected him turned out to be the little emperor who fled in despair.
When the emperor left the palace in order to show pomp and safety, he was often loud and powerful, and he was accompanied by hundreds of officials, but when this little emperor fled south, he was like a lost dog, and it was miserable.
Because the Hu people in the north raided the capital, a group of guards fled here with the little emperor who had just ascended the throne, defending the dead who were chased and killed, and the wounded were injured, and the prince was about to die. At this time, someone proposed to hand over the prince to Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to protect it.
According to common sense, the emperor's personal safety should be protected by the Royal Guards, but at this time, the Guards had long been beaten to the ground. So in the case of having nothing to do, for the sake of his own life, he found the Zhenyuan dart game.
For Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, this is a pie-in-the-sky thing, and you don't need money to do it.
In order to make this trip go smoothly, Tong Wencheng, the head of the dart bureau, recruited all the capable people from all over the country to participate.
It turned out to be bandits and bandits who protected the emperor's travel safety, which is a rare strange thing for thousands of years.
When the little emperor fled south, he didn't take the Imperial Forest Army with him, but with the escort of this team of civilian bandits, he fled all the way south, and he was unhindered by black and white to the South China Sea.
It is said that in all dynasties, the Imperial Forest Army that defended the emperor could only suppress its subjects in peacetime, and most of them were useless when foreign enemies were in turmoil.
The little emperor was chased by the Hu people and fled south, he was so embarrassed that his life was almost gone, and he couldn't guarantee food and drink, and the officials along the way had already run away. Zhenyuan Dart Bureau has made great contributions, and has taken money to eat, and has built manpower and material resources.
So after the little emperor returned to power, he not only rewarded Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, but also made Tongwen a marquis and gave him a fief in Jiangzhou County.
Therefore, at the end of each year, Tongwen Chengdu will routinely enter the palace, and it is a tribute and a reward, and it is very glorious to swagger through the market.
In the folk, Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is called "Royal Dart Bureau", Tong Wencheng is called "Royal Dart House", and the scenery is infinite.
After listening to Huang Jin's story, Zhao Chuan's brain crashed into half a pillar of incense.
No wonder this world is so chaotic, the officials have nothing to do, the emperor has to flee for his life, and it is a loss that a group of people and bandits have taken refuge in the sea, what prospects can such a court have.
Zhao Chuan used to just hate the official family, but now he looks down on him even more.
"Master Hou is not staying in Jiangzhou City, where did he come back from?" Zhao Chuan asked.
Huang Jin said that Hou Ye came back from the South China Sea, because he wanted to pay tribute, of course, he went to purchase rare treasures.
The time has come, and the luxury passenger ship has set sail on time. Yangshan County is only more than 200 miles away from Jiangzhou City, although it is a night boat, it will not arrive at dawn.
There is no non-stop boat between Yangshan County Wharf and Jiangzhou City, because there is no wharf in the middle, as soon as the boat departs, the public area on the second floor is lively, and the crew and the escort soldiers who are not on duty come to play.
Zhao Chuan took the seven girls to see the world, she drilled around the field, looking around. But she is not like Cheng Shulan, who is fresh and curious when she sees everything, she just looks at it for a few moments and leaves.
After turning around for a while, the seven girls pulled Zhao Chuan aside and whispered to him that they had found a fellow species, a cultivating fox.
The seven girls instructed Zhao Chuan to show over there, Zhao Chuan saw that it was a gambling game, a group of people were pushing pai gow around a large table, a thin man with a gloomy face, a pile of silver and silver tickets in front of him, and a fox and bewitching woman next to him.
"It's the woman!" The Seven Girls whispered.
Isn't this the wife of the dart master Jiang Yong? Jiang Yong was the burly man who claimed to be the Jingcheng Zhenyuan Dart Bureau on this boat last time. It's just that the person next to her today is no longer Jiang Yong, but another thin man.
"How do you know she's your kind? Why can't I see it? Does this have anything to do with my lack of Reiki? Zhao Chuan asked in a low voice, "I didn't cultivate before and I didn't see her?" ”
"No, I'm using supernatural powers, and she has a black aura on her." The seventh girl said, "She must have just killed someone, and the black air is full of blood." ”
"Ah, you kind still eat people?" Zhao Chuan was surprised.
"Of course! Some want to take shortcuts. ”
