Chapter 160 The Boat Carrying Grain and Grass
……
"Zhang Ming, are you sure you're here?" Huang Zhong sat in the carriage, looking at Zhang Ming on a white horse, and then looking at the empty river, his tone was full of suspicion.
"Old man Huang, don't worry, I've already made a trip and contacted the Lu family, and when their ship goes to Xuzhou, they will give us a ride." Zhang Ming rode on a white horse and patted his chest to reassure.
Huang Zhong looked at his son Huang Xu, who was lying in the carriage, his eyes couldn't stop worrying, and the gray hair on his head felt more and more.
"Old man Huang, don't worry, the reputation of the Lu family can still be guaranteed, at least on this Yangtze River, there is still no big problem." Outside the carriage, the young man sitting in the seat of the carriage looked at Huang Zhong, and his words were full of comfort.
"Wen Chang, I'm sorry for you." Huang Zhong looked at Wei Yan outside the carriage, and was quite satisfied with this young man who had been running from Changsha.
Energetic, full of vitality, the strength is okay, the talent is okay, and with a little effort, there is still a little hope.
"No trouble, no trouble~" Wei Yan sat in the driver's seat, while speaking, he looked at the calm river and waited quietly.
As a big ship slowly appeared, everyone who had been waiting for a long time looked at the approach of the big ship, and there was no sense of urgency in their hearts.
"Just a few of you are going to Xuzhou?" The person in charge of the ship looked at the few people waiting on the shore and asked casually.
Hearing this, Zhang Ming hurriedly showed the slip he got during the previous communication to prove his identity.
The person in charge looked at the strip in Zhang Ming's hand, nodded, confirmed that there was no problem with the content, and said to the crew behind him, "Put the pedal down and pick up the person." ”
"Wen Chang, we are walking from here, the road is far away, I don't know when we will come back, do you really want to follow?" Huang Zhong looked at Wei Yan, who was driving, and still reminded kindly.
Wei Yan jumped directly from the carriage, untied the horse, and said to Huang Zhong seriously, "Old man Huang, don't worry, I just didn't know the road before, if I did, I would have gone a long time ago, and now that I have someone who knows the way, I naturally want to go." ”
"Okay, let's take a boat to Xuzhou together." Huang Zhong saw Wei Yan's attitude, and he didn't think much about it in his heart.
Only by arriving in Taishan County first can Huang Xu be saved.
"Don't worry, this is a big ship, and there are no strong bumps." Zhang Ming looked at the big ship in front of him, and his tone was a lot calmer.
It took him a lot of money to find a space.
Since learning about Huang Zhong's strength, Zhang Ming has become more and more satisfied with his choice.
Although he is always a little older, it is not a big problem, and Old Man Huang is more than his own general.
Old age means experience, terrifying strength means survival, where can such a person be found?
Thanks to the money brought out from Taishan County, the money to buy a few ferry tickets is still more than enough.
"I hope I can get there sooner, hey" Huang Zhong stepped out of the carriage with his son in his hands, and then stepped on the pedals of the big boat and walked towards the boat.
Wei Yan glanced at Zhang Ming and didn't say anything, the two led the horse onto the boat, and they didn't ask each other very tacitly.
Wei Yan and Zhang Ming led their respective horses to a fixed position on the ship, placed the horses, and then returned to the cabin to meet.
"Did you notice?" Wei Yan walked normally, glanced at the goods in the cabin slightly, and said to Zhang Ming, who was also walking.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Zhang Ming also didn't stop his steps, didn't understand what the situation was, and then asked Wei Yan rhetorically.
"This is a cargo ship, and the goods stored in the warehouse are grain." Wei Yan said the information he knew, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
"What's so strange about food? It's easy to transport food by boat. Zhang Ming is obviously not good at this aspect, and he can't find an accurate direction to think at all.
"Hey." Wei Yan looked at Zhang Ming like this, he could only sigh and walked to the door of Huang Zhong's room.
After questioning, Huang Zhong's consent was obtained, and the two walked into Huang Zhong's room.
"Wen Chang, what did you find when you were thinking about it?" Huang Zhong looked at the thoughts on Wei Yan's face and asked directly.
Wei Yan slowly raised his head and said to Huang Zhong, "Old Man Huang, I remember that Xuzhou is very rich, right?" ”
Huang Zhong thought about the situation in Xuzhou, under the leadership of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, it was indeed enough to be called a wealthy place.
"In this case, there should be no shortage of food in Xuzhou, why did the Lu family transport grain to Xuzhou?" Wei Yan really didn't understand this, even if it was a normal business deal, it was impossible to pull grain from Jingxiang to Xuzhou.
Huang Zhong was thoughtful after hearing this, and then looked at Zhang Ming who was standing on the side, as if he understood something.
"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to, I'm really not good at thinking about these things, I'd better sign up for the army after I go to Taishan County." Wei Yan patted his head and put an end to what he was thinking.
still rely on the martial arts in his own hands to make meritorious contributions and make a marquis with military merits.
"With your strength, if you join the army, you still have to be careful." Huang Zhong looked at Wei Yan, who was still in the process of refining qi, and said with a hint of kindness.
"Thank you Mr. Huang for reminding me, I still have this self-knowledge." Wei Yan has a lot of respect for Huang Zhong.
And at this moment, there was a tremor from the boat beneath his feet.
"Old man Huang, it looks like it's sailing." Wei Yan glanced at the situation outside the door and said with a hint of seriousness.
Huang Zhong felt the vibration of the ship, it was not as bumpy as he imagined, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned to look at Huang Xu, who was already lying on the bed, and saw that his eyes were still closed, and his breathing rate was slightly stable.
The worries in my heart are not as worried as before.
"Old Man Huang, since there is nothing else to do, then we will retire first." Wei Yan glanced at the brilliance outside the window and said to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong immediately turned his head, looked at Wei Yan and Zhang Ming, and said, "If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to me more, and the old man will guide you in your martial arts." ”
When Wei Yan heard this, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly thanked him.
When Zhang Ming heard this, he could only follow along to thank him, after all, this kind of strong man's teaching, even if it is not very long, is a very rare thing.
The big ship officially set off, sailing from Jingzhou to Xuzhou.
