Yaheng, the city lord, spoke, and the crowd who was still chatting in groups of three or five quickly assembled into a team, walked out of the hall with neat steps, and lined up in formation, divided into four parts, front and back, left and right, each got on his horse, protected the carriage of Yaheng and Ouyang Feng and others in the middle, and went straight to the outside of the city lord's mansion.

In the carriage, Adonis asked Elena beside him puzzled: "Didn't the two seniors, Baker and Hawke, come?

Elena went to find Adonis at the beginning, and she didn't know about this, and the little girl on the side said: "Senior Baker is here, and he is in the team, what's the matter, are you so afraid of death?"

Adonis pouted and said, "Who is not afraid of death? I am still young, and I have not yet married a wife. You said Baker was here, why didn't I see it?"

The little girl stretched out her finger and pointed to the front and said, "The senior didn't enter the main hall, he has been waiting in the carriage at the front." ”

Adonis nodded abruptly, and then asked, "What about Senior Hawke? He didn't come?"

The little girl didn't know this question, and the monkey in the same carriage explained: "We are all leaving, of course someone has to stay here, and Hawke's seniors stay here to take care of the house." Adonis sighed, said no more, turned his gaze to the window, and was silent.

The city lord's mansion came out with such a large group of people and carriages, which naturally attracted the attention of residents and merchants, and those who were close ran out to stand on the side of the road to watch.

As the caravan and carriage passed, some knowledgeable merchants and residents were astonished to find that many of them, with whom they had dealt with a lot of stewards, had gone to become guards today. Guarding next to a dozen wagons. This discovery. The merchants were greatly shocked, and at the same time, they were trying their best to guess what kind of big man was in the carriage and actually used such a high-level escort force.

Yaheng, Gale and Angelo are full of majesty in Qingyuan City, and their city lord banner is also very intimidating, and the people who open the way in front of them don't have to work hard to disperse the crowd, those onlookers. After seeing the city lord's banner, they all gave in as soon as possible, stood on the side of the road and respectfully saluted, which was much stronger than when Ouyang Feng and they entered the city before.

There are no obstacles, the speed naturally increases, about half an hour, the group came to the north gate of Qingyuan City, which belongs to the military area, and it is also the trade place of the Qingyuan City seaport, so there are no idle people. The speed of the carriage was raised to the extreme. Coming to the north gate, the city guard officer who had already received the news respectfully stepped forward and saluted. Then, without talking nonsense, he sent someone to open the city gate and let him go.

Out of Qingyuan City, the road leading to the port is still so smooth, sitting in the carriage, you can't even feel the bumps, only the crisp and neat sound of horses' hooves surround your ears.

After sitting in the car for such a long time, coupled with the monotonous sound of horses' hooves, the little girl who had not slept well leaned on Elena's arms and fell asleep, and Elena lovingly helped her cover the blanket to prevent the little girl from catching a cold.

Petty and Monkey, who were in the same carriage, basically didn't talk much, and the two of them looked at the faces of Adonis, Elena and the little girl Nina, as if they wanted to find the answer, what kind of relationship the three of them were, whether Adonis accepted the little girl, and what Elena thought.

After another ten minutes, at this time, you can already see the sea, and not far ahead, there is a prosperous and busy dock. Elena ignored the ambiguous eyes of Peidi and the monkey, patted the little girl lightly and said, "Little lazy pig, get up quickly, you will be on the boat soon." ”

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up straight, looked out of the car window, shook her head, sobered herself up, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you arrive so soon, I haven't woken up yet." ”

Adonis pouted and said, "I also say that I snooze, I think you are, spirit, if you want to sleep, wait until you get on the ship." ”

The little girl grimaced at Adonis, and then looked at Petty and the monkey in amazement: "Sister Petty, Brother Monkey, why don't you speak?" Petty and the monkey hurriedly looked away, and the two looked at the sea outside in tacit understanding and chatted.

The monkey sighed and said, "The sea is so big." ”

Petty nodded in agreement: "Well, it's quite big." ”

The monkey then said, "Petty, why do you say the sea is salty?"

Petty shrugged her shoulders and said, "How do I know, I have to ask Sister Hongsheng's father about this, he should know." Monkey, you don't drink sea water a lot, do you?"

The monkey said in frustration: "I used to drink less when I learned to swim, but now that I have learned to swim, I drink less." Petty was speechless.

Adonis's eyes lit up: "Sister Petty, why didn't you wear that swimsuit you wore when you taught us to swim? ”

Petty gave Adonis a blank look and said, "You want to see it, I have a new one for Elena to pass on to you." ”

Adonis smiled, glanced at Elena, who was not good-looking, and shook her head against her will to deny, "That's what I said. At this time, the carriage stopped, and the captain of the guard who led the team passed by, and loudly reminded everyone in the carriage to get off.

Ouyang Feng and the others used the special wharf of Qingyuan City, but it was also crowded, and the workers were constantly transporting goods from large transport ships, and then counted by special personnel, tightening the transit warehouse, and piling up the goods, almost leaving them without any time to rest.

Ouyang Feng got out of the carriage, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned for a while and asked, "Brother Yaheng, has our business with the sea beast expanded?"

Yaheng shook his head and said, "No, didn't you say that scarcity is expensive, we still insist on trading twice a month, and only charge a little bit each time, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Feng pointed to the dozen or so cargo ships docked at the dock and asked, "Then how can there be so many ships and goods?"

Angelo smiled proudly and said: "These, these are all other businesses of the Qingyuan Guild, such as food, cloth, ironware and other daily necessities, now, Qingyuan City has just opened, and many of the newly moved residents need to be repurchased, so these things are in short supply now, and when the business is good, there will naturally be more supplementary goods." ”

Ouyang Feng nodded suddenly: "I said, why is it that the report sent by Andulan recently has made more and more profits." ”

Hongshang looked around and asked, "Where's our boat?"

Yaheng also looked around, and then said with a wry smile: "This Jack, I guess there is something delayed, everyone wait, if he doesn't come in half an hour, we will order the boat to come over." ”

Hongshang was surprised and said, "Jack, isn't he in charge of the transportation of Qingyuan Island, why will he come to pick us up?"

Gale shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yesterday I sent someone to prepare a boat for us, and I heard that you have returned, so I have to come in person, he is now very busy, and he is so busy that he can't see anyone for a day." ”

Qingfeng smiled and said: "Jack is okay now, and he can be regarded as getting ahead, I have to persuade him in a while, if he has time to practice more, these things will be handed over to his subordinates to do, and he will be exhausted to death by doing everything himself." ”

Mingyue also joined in the fun and said: "By the way, when we were his boat to smuggle to Qingyuan Island, didn't he have a little apprentice? What is it called? What are you doing now?"

Gail smiled and said: "You said Pol, that kid is also doing well now, and he is also managing some accounts with Jack, if it weren't for his help, it is estimated that Jack would have quit doing it a long time ago, and the goods will be dizzy when they see the account book." ”

Hongshang frowned slightly and said: "Then he can't do this, I don't doubt Pol, I think, as a supervisor, you must know the business under your jurisdiction, Jack is like this, it is easy to be deceived by the people below." ”

Yaheng smiled slightly and said: "Hongsheng, you are a little worried about it, don't look at Jack who doesn't like to look at those accounts, but how many goods are transported back and forth every day, he knows very well in his heart, and no one can fool him." ”

Hongshang nodded abruptly and said, "Oh, I see, it seems that this Jack is not simple." ”

While speaking, a fishing boat came to the sea in the distance, at first, everyone didn't pay much attention, thinking that it was the fishermen of the original fishing village who went to the sea to fish, but after a while, the fishing boat did not avoid the control area of the wharf, but went straight to the wharf, this abnormal thing immediately attracted everyone's attention and vigilance, and the guard force of the wharf also reacted, dispatching more than a dozen fast boats to intercept.

After a while, Ouyang Feng and the others saw that the clippers who went to intercept had changed their previous grandeur, but turned into good babies, escorting the fishing boat.

After a while, when everyone was puzzled, Yaheng, who had the best eyesight, smiled and said, "This Jack, I really can't do anything about him." ”

As soon as Yaheng's words fell, Ouyang Feng and the others also saw clearly that the fishing boat that looked a little dilapidated was the fishing boat that Jack used to fish and smuggle in the beginning.

Zhan Tianhu remembered: "Back then, I was lying on the deck and vomiting, I don't know if the mast Jack who was about to fall apart was repaired. ”

The monkey laughed and said, "You should know what it was when you look at that broken sail, what it was like then, and what it is now." ”

In everyone's memories, Jack drove the fishing boat that had been with him for many years to the shore, put down the gangplank, got off the boat as soon as possible, walked to Ouyang Feng and Yaheng and others, and greeted them warmly.

Jack also belongs to the kind of people who are familiar with each other, everyone has been familiar with them before, so they don't have those superficial etiquette, but like a reunion of old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and Ouyang Feng and they don't care about those, old friends are very happy to meet.
