Chapter 24, Jin envoy to the south

The matter of maritime trade cooperation began after discussion between the two sides.

Li Yu dispatched personnel to Huating County, Jiaxing Prefecture, to prepare for going to sea. Huating County is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, although it is not the main outlet of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are advantages that other ports do not have, the goods are convenient, and the goods can be transported to Huating along the Yangtze River, loaded into sea ships and sent to sea.

Soon the autumn wind will be together, and the sea boat will be able to go down the wind and reach Manchuga.

The preparation was very troublesome, until the goods were loaded on the ship, Li Shucheng sighed and said, "It's finally over!"

"Yes, it's only as simple as loading the ship and going to sea, how did you know that there would be such trouble when you collected the goods before?" Elder Qin also said.

"It's nothing to be troublesome, just make money. Li Yu said, "As long as this time the sea goes smoothly, the profits earned back and forth will be comparable to the income of my family in the past few years, and it doesn't matter how troublesome it is." ”

Haimao's profits are very high, and in more than a year, the Li family's income has increased several times. Similarly, the beggars have a large income, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in the gang have been well resettled, and they no longer have to struggle, and they have no last meal.

"Lord Zeng Xiang, I'm here again. Li Shucheng came to the beggar gang incense hall in the town. Since the relationship with the beggar gang to cooperate in maritime trade, the Li family has become close to the beggar gang, and Li Shucheng often comes to the beggar gang in the town to eat snake soup.

"Li Shaoxia, please come in. Lord Zeng Xiang said happily, "Count the days, it's time for Li Shaoxia to come over, we have already prepared, and we have already boiled up." ”

"The snake soup you boiled is delicious, and if you don't eat it for a while, you will think about it. Li Shucheng said with a smile.

After chatting with Zeng Xiangzhu for a while, Li Shucheng ate snake soup and brought a jar home.

"Yue'er, the snake soup is here. When Li Shucheng got home, he divided the snake soup into two parts, one for his father Li Yu, and one for Jiang Mingyue's father and daughter.

The snake soup that Li Shucheng brought back before was only eaten by his father Li Yu and Jiang Mingyue's father, and then Li Yu pulled Jiang Mingyue into the water. However, Li Shucheng's mother, Li Chen, was unwilling to eat it. Originally, Jiang Mingyue had the same idea, but Li Shucheng tricked him into eating it a few times, and she thought it was very delicious, until Li Shucheng told her that it was snake soup, which made her so disgusting that she almost wanted to vomit, but then she got used to it.

After eating snake soup, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue practiced martial arts for a while, and then sat down to discuss.

After dinner, Jiang Mingyue, as usual, stayed in the study with Li Shucheng to practice internal strength. In less than an hour, Li Shucheng got up and saw that Jiang Mingyue was still practicing, so he didn't bother. It has always been like this before, Li Shu's success is higher than Jiang Mingyue, and his internal strength is faster than Jiang Mingyue, so he always completes it before Jiang Mingyue.

After a while, Jiang Mingyue still didn't get up, and Li Shucheng noticed the abnormality. "Could it be that she is breaking through?" Li Shucheng thought. Jiang Mingyue has been through the Twelve Canons and reached the second rate for almost three years, and according to her cultivation speed, it is almost the same, so she quietly stayed aside.

Another hour passed, Jiang Mingyue finished cultivating, and Li Shucheng hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you broken through?"

"It's broken!" Jiang Mingyue smiled, "It's going well." ”

"Now, you're a first-class expert. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "From now on, the two of us can explore the rivers and lakes together." ”

"It's just a breakthrough. Jiang Mingyue smiled, "Compared to you, it's still a lot worse." ”

Li Shucheng has opened up the second Qi Jing Eight Veins in Xiangyang for more than a year, and now his martial arts are also in the middle of the first-class.

"With your cultivation speed, you'll be able to catch up with me soon. Li Shucheng smiled, "When the time comes, I will chase you." "Jiang Mingyue's cultivation speed, Li Shucheng is indeed very envious.

"Actually, my cultivation speed is not faster than yours. Jiang Mingyue thought for a while and said, "It took you longer than me to break through to the second rate before, because you were relatively young at that time, and your cultivation speed was naturally a little slower than mine. Li Shucheng thought about it and felt that Jiang Mingyue's words were very reasonable.

Not long after Jiang Mingyue broke through, Lu Chengfeng sent someone to invite Li Shucheng on this day.

"Li Shaoxia, the owner asked me to invite you over. Lu Chengfeng's subordinates saw Li Shucheng and hurriedly said.

"Is there anything Uncle Lu asked me to do?" asked Li Shucheng.

"It's related to the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. The person with the words said.

"Oh, I'll go with you. Li Shucheng said.

"Shucheng, I'll go with you. Jiang Mingyue saw that Li Shucheng was going and said.

Li Shucheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go together." "Now that Jiang Mingyue has the power to protect herself, it is better for the two of them to go together.

When he came to Guiyunzhuang, Lu Chengfeng invited the two of them to the living room to serve tea. "Uncle Lu, is there anything wrong with you calling me over?" Li Shucheng entered the living room and asked.

"Brother Shucheng, you're here!" As soon as Li Shucheng walked into the living room, Lu Guanying shouted happily.

"Shucheng is here, and Yue'er girl is also here, welcome. Lu Chengfeng said, "Shucheng, let me introduce you." This is Guo Jing Guo Shaoxia, and this is Huang Rong and Huang Shaoxia. Guo Shaoxia, Huang Shaoxia, this is Li Shucheng Li Shaoxia, and this is Jiang Mingyue's girl. ”

"Guo Shaoxia, Huang Shaoxia. Li Shucheng said hello.

"Li Shucheng, are you the Quanzhen lay disciple Li Shucheng that the Seventh Duke said?" asked Huang Rong curiously.

"Yes, I am Li Shucheng. Li Shucheng smiled, "You have also seen the old man of Qigong, is he okay?"

"It's very good, I just like to find good food. Huang Rong said with a smile.

"Uncle Lu, please say, what's the matter?" saluted each other, Li Shucheng sat down and asked.

"That's the case, this time the envoy of the Jin State went south, and the imperial court sent a commander surnamed Duan to greet him. The commander searched all the way, and Guan Ying hijacked him after hearing about it. Lu Chengfeng said, "By the way, I also invited the envoy of the Jin Kingdom." ”

"It's nothing. Li Shucheng said, "Just let the envoy of the Jin Kingdom go, as for the commander, since it has fallen into his hands, I think I can kill it directly for safety." "The envoy of the Jin State should be Wan Yankang, that is, Yang Kang, Li Shucheng has no ill will towards Yang Kang, nor does he have any good feelings, but as the envoy of the Jin State, he will not only investigate the Jin State when he kills, but the imperial court will also investigate it under the pressure of the Jin State, which will bring huge trouble to the Taihu Lake water thieves, so just let it go. As for the commander, if he kills him, he will kill him, and the status of the military generals in the Great Song Dynasty is not very high, so it will not cause much trouble. If he doesn't kill, maybe he will bring troops to encircle and suppress him after he goes back, which is the trouble.

"Well, brother, that's a good idea. Lu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Go, please come over by the messenger." ”

"Guo Shaoxia, Huang Shaoxia, have you seen Qigong, have you gained any benefits from his old man?" Li Shucheng asked.

"Of course!" Huang Rong said with a smile, "Seventh Prince, his old man taught us a few kung fu. ”

"What was taught?" asked Li Shucheng.

"Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending!," Huang Rong said with a smile.

"Amazing!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "This is his old man's best kung fu." ”

As she was talking, Jiang Mingyue pulled Li Shucheng, Li Shucheng hurriedly closed his mouth, turned his head and whispered to Jiang Mingyue with a smile: "Are you jealous? "Although Huang Rong is dressed as a man, except for Guo Jing, Lu Chengfeng, Jiang Mingyue, who can not see through at a glance that she is a woman dressed as a man?

"Owner, you asked the master to come over, are you going to let the master go?" Wan Yankang walked into the living room, puffed his chest and smiled.

"You're right, I'm really going to let you go. Lu Chengfeng said, "Ah Fu, loosen the tie." ”

After Ah Fu untied him, Wan Yankang rubbed his arm and said with a smile: "Then thank you to the owner, Xiao Ke will leave." ”

"It's never too late to sit down and have a drink before leaving. Li Shucheng smiled, "Besides, your blind master is coming soon." ”

"How do you know that my master is coming soon?" Wan Yankang was taken aback.

"Brother Kang, Mei Chaofeng is your master?" Guo Jing also asked in surprise.

"Mei Chaofeng!" Lu Chengfeng shouted, "Since your master is Mei Chaofeng, then you can stay!

"Wait for my master to come?" Wan Yankang said strangely, "Do you have something to do with my master?"

"Of course there is something!" Lu Chengfeng was furious and said, "I want to settle an account with her! I became a waste and was expelled from the division, everything started because of the two of them, and if I don't settle accounts with her, I will settle accounts with anyone!"

When Huang Rong heard Lu Chengfeng's words, she thought to herself: "In this way, this Lu Zhuang master is also a disciple of his father." ”

"Well, you might as well settle this matter by the way. Li Shucheng said.

"Yes, although the 'Black Wind Twins' are powerful, our father and son are not vegetarians. Lu Chengfeng said, "Guanying, when the 'Black Wind Shuangsha' comes, you drag Mei Chaofeng, and I will solve Chen Xuanfeng first and then come to help you." ”

"Master Lu, Chen Xuanfeng is dead. Huang Rong said with a smile, "Now the 'Black Wind Twins' is only Mei Chaofeng alone." ”

"Chen Xuanfeng is dead?" Lu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "That's better, it's better to have Mei Chaofeng alone, and it's easy to solve it." ”

Wan Yankang listened on the sidelines, and his heart was very anxious, if the master was not an opponent, then what should he do?

"It's fine. Li Shucheng saw Yan Kang's anxious appearance and said with a smile, "Your master will be fine." Even if something happens to your master, we won't do anything to you. Besides, you and I and Brother Guo have all learned the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, and even if you are a lay disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, we will not do anything to you. ”

"You are also a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?" Wan Yankang said, "Who did you learn martial arts from?"

"Old urchin Zhou Botong. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "That is, your master Qiu Chuji's uncle." ”

"That'...... That ......" Wan Yankang was speechless for a while, so Li Shucheng could grow up to him and Guo Jing.

"We're all young people, so let's talk about each other as equals. Li Shucheng said, poured a cup of tea, "Come, drink a cup of tea first." ”
