The rolling river crosses the mountain gorge, and the boats on the river come and go. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On a cargo ship, a green-shirted merchant stood on the bow of the ship against the wind and waves, looked forward for a while, turned back to the cargo hold, patted the goods covered under the tarpaulin, checked the goods again, confirmed that there would be no loss, and was in a good mood.

The guards smiled and said, "When this ship arrives in the capital, the owner will make a lot of money, right?"

The green-shirted merchant Jia smiled: "Don't worry, everyone's benefits are indispensable, and as soon as the goods are released, let everyone eat, drink and have fun." ”

"Just wait for the owner's words. The crowd laughed.

Someone smiled and asked, "Boss, can you take us to Baiyunjian to see it?"

", do you pick up my money?" said the green-shirted merchant Jia waved his hand and scolded angrily.

"Haha......" laughed again.

The green-shirted merchant Jia also walked back to the cabin with a smile on his face, went down to the bottom of the ship, and said loudly to the eight men who were sitting in two rows in the dark and struggling to sway: "Everyone work harder, after crossing this mountain gorge, the capital will be reached." ”

Five of the eight young men looked at each other with joy on their faces.

As he said, the boat went out of the mountain gorge, and the huge capital of Qi was in sight in front of him.

The current also gradually calmed down, and the boats gradually docked at a waterfront pier outside the city.

There were quite a few boats moored at the pier, and a group of people disembarked one after another.

There were businessmen's friends waiting on the dock, and the green-shirted businessmen went ashore to meet their friends and talk and laugh happily.

The five young men who were rocking the oars also got off the boat, and when they came to the Qingyi merchant, one of them arched his hand and said, "Boss, shouldn't we be paid our wages?"

The green-shirted merchant Jia was a little impatient, and turned back to a fellow and shouted, "Pay them the wages." ”

The fellow immediately beckoned, "Come here." ”

"Xie Dongjia. The five young men thanked them and went to the man's side.

But not long after, all of them returned, and each showed a silver coin in his hand, and a young man said, "Boss, didn't you say that you should have five hundred dollars per person? ”

The green-shirted merchant Jia said: "Isn't your food and drink along the way money?"

The young man exclaimed, "Didn't you say that you would have food and shelter?"

"I said you guys, are you looking for trouble?" The green-shirted merchant Jia sneered, and the seven or eight guys on the boat immediately surrounded him, and someone had a knife in his hand, clearly threatening.

The five young men seemed to dare not speak in anger, and finally they were forced to threaten them, and with angry faces, they walked away with their heads down, causing a burst of ridicule.

When they were far away from this group of people, the five young men looked at each other and smiled, and one of them looked at the tall city wall of the capital in the distance, and said excitedly: "It's finally here!"

A young man in the center said: "Everyone went to the forest in front of them and went to look outside the city gates separately, and they all stared wide-eyed to find the signs left by the boss." ”

As he said, a group of people went to the front of the woods to disperse, and the young man who gave the order stayed at the bottom of the forest and waited for everyone to come back and meet.

After waiting for a long time, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the official road in the distance, and when I looked back, I saw five horsemen galloping quickly.

When the five horsemen missed this side, the young man's eyes lit up, and he stood up and shouted: "Dayong! Dayong..."

The five young men on the five horses who rushed over looked back, and immediately stopped their mounts, turned their horses and ran back, rushed to the side of the forest and jumped down, and the two sides cheered and hugged each other, both of them were excited.

A convoy came not far away, and the young people before immediately booed again and again, signaling everyone to refrain and not let people see that something was wrong.

The young man known as Da Yong patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Zhao Mancang, you came earlier than us, did the boss ask you to pick us up?"

Zhao Mancang sneered: "Our group has just arrived, and the others are looking for signs." ”

Dayong turned around, "Since someone has found it, then let's wait here." ”

Zhao Mancang looked at their mounts and said strangely, "Where did you come from on horseback?"

Dayong said strangely: "You can see horses everywhere on this grassland, where do you say they came from? Can't you still walk without riding a horse?"

Zhao Mancang: "Why did you only arrive now on horseback?"

One person muttered: "Don't mention it, I was arrested by a bunch of officers and soldiers in the territory of Zhao State, and we were arrested to be soldiers, and then we found a way to escape, and we were delayed for a lot of time, otherwise we would have arrived a long time ago." Then he asked, "Mancang, what about you, why did you just come?"

Zhao Mancang squeaked and was silent.

As a result, a group of people rushed up to persecute him, and he had to recruit honestly, "Find a caravan along the way, help with the work, and come along the way." ”

Someone said disdainfully: "I still help people work, and there is no place to use it if I have a lot of strength, this method is stupid enough." ”

Zhao Mancang immediately defended: "It's not to be safe, we are not familiar with the place, but the caravan is often in and out, people are familiar with the road, and there is a way to dredge the checkpoint." We also met a strong man on the road as a soldier, fortunately the caravan helped to dredge, otherwise I am afraid that we would also be arrested. ”

A group of people chattered by the forest for a while, and some of the pathfinders came back, and when they saw the crowd, they cheered again, and then told them that the road sign was outside the east city gate.

Dayong immediately asked the three of them to ride to the other three city gates, and retrieved the others, so as not to still look for them everywhere.

When the two groups met, they came to the east gate together, and saw a simple bird pattern painted on a rock, which was the agreed sign, and the direction in which the bird flew was the east city gate.

In order to be inconspicuous, a group of people separated into the city, followed the signs all the way, and found a deserted house in a remote area of the city.

pushed the door in, and found that Yuan Feng had set up a chair, sat there and drank tea slowly, shaking a fan in his hand.

"Wind Team!" the crowd was delighted to see.

"What are you yelling about, I'm afraid that others won't know, right?" Yuan Feng pointed to the door with the fan in his hand and waved, "Close the door!"

Someone here immediately closed the door, Dayong came to Yuan Feng, and said with a hippie smile: "Wind team, how many of us are here, can we get to the front?"

Yuan Feng slapped him on the head with a fan, "There are at least a dozen pairs of eyes outside all the way to see you coming, and there are more than a hundred people waiting for you inside.

A group of people suddenly wilted.

"Remember, when I got here, there was no wind team, use my brain to think about it!" Yuan Fengpu fan pointed inside, "Stay inside, ask them for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write the situation clearly by yourself......"

Tofu Restaurant, in the steaming inner house kitchen, Yuan Huo and Niu Shan are making tofu.

Yuan Gang watched from the sidelines.

Niu Lin, who was in charge of grinding tofu and guarding outside, knocked on the door and entered, "Boss, the shopkeeper is looking for you." ”

Yuan Gang turned around and walked out, went straight to the front door, saw the shopkeeper hovering at the door, and asked, "Something?"

The shopkeeper Gao showed a handful of gold coins in his hand, there were ten of them, "Mother Qin in the white clouds came to eat tofu just now, and in addition to paying for it, she gave these others." ”

Yuan Gang: "What do you mean?"

Gao shopkeeper: "She said that in the future, the girls in the Baiyun will often come here to taste, but this is a large court, and it is inconvenient for the girls to come, so let's give them another private room." She gave ten gold coins and said that they would pay for the wages. ”

Yuan Gang refused, "No!" and turned around and left.

The shopkeeper grabbed his arm and said with a wry smile: "I also think it's inappropriate, but when the third young master went to play in the white clouds, Mother Qin specially greeted the third young master." The third young master has already agreed to her, saying that the surrounding area of our side will be reorganized, and let them get a private room by the way, and it will not be troublesome to say yes. Third Young Master, don't you know? It's a person who wants to save face, but he can't do what he promised in front of a group of women and a group of friends, where do you let him put his face?"

Yuan Gang was silent, "You can do it yourself, but you can hear one thing clearly, don't interfere with our side." ”

Seeing that he was relieved, the shopkeeper Gao immediately smiled and nodded again and again, "I understand, our formula can't be easily stolen, don't worry, I will arrange it!"

Yuan Gang turned his head and left.

"Uh..." The shopkeeper Gao was speechless, and wanted to ask him about recruiting people, but the owner's temper was like a businessman, so he had to shake his head and leave, thinking about it and asking again after seeing him.

The vast sea, the blue waves are boundless.

A man in a hat flew over the sea, sometimes standing on the surface of the water and observing the surroundings, until a reef appeared in front of him, and he flashed and flew to land.

The reef is only the size of five or six tables, and at high tide it is estimated that it will be swallowed by the sea.

This situation is very dangerous for ships sailing on the sea, when the reef sinks underwater, the surface of the water is not visible, and once the ship hits, it is easy to destroy the ship and kill people.

The man in the hat stood on the reef and looked around, and from time to time took off the wine jug from his waist and poured two sips.

In the distance, a sea boat faintly appeared, the man was stunned for a moment, watched for a while, confirmed that it was brought to this place, and quickly hid behind the reef to wait.

When there is no reef, when he sees a boat, he will immediately get into the water to take refuge.

After waiting for a while, a large sea ship sailed a hundred feet away from the side of the reef and kept moving forward.

The man hiding behind the reef saw the whereabouts of the ship, quickly took off the hat on his head, put down the wine jug, and quietly took advantage of the cover of the reef to retreat into the sea water from behind, submerged in the water, and cast a spell to move quickly forward in the water.

When he came up again, he had already reached the stern of the big ship, climbed the stern, did not get on the boat, kept vigilant, hung at the stern and followed the ship all the way, occasionally sticking his head from both sides of the stern, and quietly looking at the front of the ship.

In the evening, the sea is sparkling, and from time to time you can see the reef towering above the sea, and there is an island in front of it.

"What the hell is this place?"

"People give money, let's make money, whatever the hell he does. ”

"I mean, there are so many reefs in this place that we could sink our ship if we don't care. ”

"It's not okay, the route that people gave on that pier before is still useful. ”

Someone on the boat was talking, and the man with the tail hanging let go of his hand, sank in the water, sneaked to the side of the reef and then came up, quietly observing the situation on the island, only to see that there were many masts around the island, and many large ships were parked, and I couldn't count how many there were for a while.
