Chapter 586: Interlude (I)
The wooden ship sailed slowly, but fortunately, the 'Red Mountain Harbor' is located at the protruding tail of Scorpion Island, which is the closest edge of the Hell Sea to the Green Leaf Continent, and the weather is miraculously warmer, so the voyage did not encounter too many dangers along the way, and it was very fortunate that the wind was smooth, and it only took ten days for the caravan to return to Heinheimman City.
The flagship of the caravan at his feet slowly docked, and finally stopped at the berth, at this time there were still seven or eight days before the New Year, but the harbor wharf was already filled with an indescribable festive atmosphere, and the poor laborers who were busy working in the harbor but everyone had a smile on their faces breathed a long sigh of relief, "I finally came back safely." ”
"Yes, Miss Yagi, you succeeded, and we came back safely, it's a miracle," the tall Duyev grabbed his beard with joy, "This crisis of the 'Golden Velvet' can finally be passed safely."
It was an exhausting voyage, and I wouldn't want to do it again with an axe to cut off my head. ”
At the same time as the flagship captain sighed, there was a burst of sound over the flotilla docking, "Aha, ale, beauties, beautiful women, oily barbecue bones, you are waiting for me to be in a hurry...";
"I really rushed back before the New Year, hahaha... Follow me home with the gold coins of Yellow, Orange and Orange, and you will surely make my family even happier on Chinese New Year's Eve...";
"I have survived such a dangerous voyage, and I will see in the tavern in the future who dares to brag to me...", or funny, or rude cheers and shouts.
The happiness of an ordinary sailor is so simple, and after a thrilling voyage, he is already satisfied with returning home with a dozen or twenty gold coins.
Previously for this cheap happiness. Yaji's heart was full of disdainful disdain, but at this moment, she felt a faint envy in her heart.
"Captain Duyev, after this shipment is sold, calculate the reward you deserve, and I will directly help you deposit it in the city-state bank. "He didn't express this envy, let alone tell Duyev that although he could pay off the 'peace tax' in this trade with Wu Li, it would not be possible to wipe out all the debts of the comptoir," Yaggie said with a smile.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that," not understanding what the businesswoman had just said was meant to show that the 'Golden Velvet Flower' had survived the difficult situation so that she could find a new creditor in the future, the captain said happily, "Miss Aki." I went to arrange for the sailors to stand by while they unloaded. The hands of the dock laborers have historically been unclean. He turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
At the same time as he left, Zhang Lisheng walked out of the cabin and walked quickly to the bow of the boat. Look around. Casually said, "Lady Aki." It seems that the sailors on board are all very excited about the successful return voyage, and by the way, since the ship has docked in the harbor of the city of Heinheimmann. It's time for me to say goodbye to you. ”
"Where are you going, Your Excellency Li Sheng?" asked the businesswoman in surprise.
"Of course, it's a hotel, and the 'pothos' last time was very good. ”
"You ventured out of the barbarian island and spent more than ten days just to celebrate the New Year at the Pothos Inn in Heinheimmann City?" said Aki's face changed uncertainly for a moment, and then she spoke.
"Not really," said the young man, shrugging his shoulders, "I have come to 'Heinhemann' to enjoy the prologue of a magnificent epic play. ”
Aki, who was full of worries but wanted to force a smile, heard the black-haired young man in front of her start saying such incomprehensible words in front of her again, and her endurance seemed to have finally reached its limit.
"Don't talk about those incomprehensible nonsense, don't talk about it anymore," she suddenly lowered her voice and roared irritably: "Since you have already guessed that the 'Golden Velvet Flower' is in a desperate situation, just make your own conditions, how can you help me, what kind of method to help me, is it to be a guarantor of a loan from a commercial bank, or is there any way I can't think of it..."
"Miss Yaji, it seems that the pressure you are under has crushed your will, I said a long time ago, you misunderstood..."Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and interrupted the businesswoman's words.
"Shut up, I know that you are going around so in such a roundabout way just because you don't want to be resented by me, I know this, I know this..."
Seeing that although the businesswoman still knew how to hide, but behaved like a madman, Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth and was silent for a while, and suddenly thought about it carefully, and realized that he was a barbarian god who was about to declare war on the entire civilized continent, but he was trapped by a beautiful woman who only used each other, which was ridiculous.
"When I used to read ancient myths and legends, I saw those gods go into battle shirtless in order to compete for fame and fortune, and when I saw peerless beauties, I would try my best to contact them, and I would frame mortals because of jealousy, and I felt very ridiculous, and I didn't know until it was my turn to know that those stories were probably true.
In addition to the amount of strength, people and gods are the same, so it's right, if you really cultivate to become an immortal and 'forget your feelings', then what's the difference between it and dying.
Great freedom, great freedom, even if you conquer the entire 'Great Thousand Worlds Realm', unless you become an idiot, how can you be at ease..."Suddenly there was a feeling in his heart, and his previous ambition sounded, and the young man muttered with a wry smile.
At the same time that Zhang Lisheng sighed with emotion, after venting the inexplicable grief and anger in her heart, Ya Ji finally slowly regained her senses, thinking that the black-haired young man in front of her was likely to be the only savior of herself, and even the entire family, she gasped and was silent for a few seconds, and whispered incoherently: "I'm sorry Your Excellency Li Sheng, I, the pressure I have experienced is too great."
I, I can't even imagine myself now that I'm going to be like that..."
"It's okay Ms. Yagi, I can understand, after all, there are many 'facets' of human character, and it should be said that it is very normal for a person like you who has not experienced many setbacks and tribulations before to lose his temper under pressure. Zhang Lisheng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really time for me to leave..."
"Your Excellency Li Sheng, Heinheimmann City is the 'vice-capital' of the Catamane city-state, and the New Year's carnival here is very grand, attracting a lot of tourists every year, and now you may not be able to book a room at the Pothos Hotel..."
"Oh, is it?" the young man was stunned for a moment, looked at the city in the distance, and found that there were far more pedestrians on the street than when he had last visited, and he couldn't help frowning.
"So during the New Year, I hope you will accept my invitation to visit the 'Golden Flower Terrier Manor'. Jaczzie said with a reluctant smile.
Zhang Lisheng thought for a while and nodded helplessly, "Ms. Yaji, it seems that I have no choice but to thank you." ”
"It's my pleasure that you can appreciate it, then when the goods are unloaded into the warehouse of the port, we will set off..."Seeing that the young man accepted the invitation, the businesswoman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly froze when she looked at the laborers who were struggling to carry the timber under the boat, and after a few seconds, her voice said in a slightly strange voice: "Your Excellency Li Sheng, I have something to do with you first, you can, well, the carriage of the trading house has come, you can rest in the carriage for a while,"
"It's good. Following Ya Ji's gaze, he saw a handsome young man in military uniform accompanying two young men in leather hunting suits, three wearing elegant skirts, covering their faces with open folding feather fans, and the young girls were chatting and looking around, Zhang Lisheng smiled and nodded.
After that, the young man looked at the gap under the ship, and jumped off the merchant ship lightly amid the exclamations of the people, and after blending into the crowd, he walked to a magnificent carriage with golden flower patterns on the carriage not far away, and said to the coachman, "I am a guest invited by Miss Aki. He got into the car.
The walls of the huge carriage, along with the floor and roof, are covered in thick crust, and the leather is engraved with intricate beautiful patterns, and the wide seats are covered with soft fur, which makes you feel warm and relaxed.
"It's really extravagant, this should be regarded as the Rolls-Royce of the 'Otherworldly World'..."Sitting on the fur chair, leaning on the back of the moderately soft and hard chair, Zhang Lisheng muttered comfortably, and suddenly heard a gentle knock on the carriage door, and then a gentle voice sounded outside the door, "Your Excellency Li Sheng, can I go in?"
This greeting was quite skillful, although the voice was unfamiliar, but he was not the owner of the carriage, and the young man who did not know what was going on said casually: "Please come in." ”
"Thank you. With a charming thank you and a smoky incense, a mature woman with a very charming temperament pushed open the wooden door of the carriage and walked into the carriage with her head bowed because of her thick lips and slender eyes.
She was dressed in a snow-white silk shawl and a low-cut pleated skirt that was cut and tight, showing off her graceful figure, and the two soft snow peaks on her chest squeezed each other when she bent over, making ordinary men feel a burst of heat in their hearts at first sight.
"Your Excellency Li Sheng, I have wanted to know you for a long time, but I have never had a suitable opportunity.
Hello, I'm Nia Kevent from Mermaid Trading. After getting into the car, the woman crossed her feet and bowed slightly.
"Hello, Ms. Nya. Zhang Lisheng smiled politely in his heart.
"You may wonder why I know you, Your Excellency?"
"There's nothing strange about that, since you're a friend of Lady Aki, of course you know my name. The youth shrugged.
"Is it customary for you to shrug your shoulders in a dashing and charming way?" said Niya, smiling noncommittally, asking another inconsequential question.
"Sort of. Zhang Lisheng replied casually.
"Accomplishing the feat of crossing the continent at such a young age is truly enviable and admirable.
I especially heard that you are here to fulfill your ideals..."Seeing that the young man didn't seem to have much interest in chatting with him, Niya hated it in her heart, but her mouth began to praise Zhang Lisheng endlessly. (To be continued......)
PS: I don't want to break my promise, I desperately code a chapter, and I can finally sleep with peace of mind, but unfortunately it's only more than three hours
