One night, the two chatted vigorously, and they didn't know when they fell asleep, and even Mingxuan, who had always lived a regular life, woke up half an hour later than before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Ming Xuan opened his eyes, he found a pretty face reflected in front of his eyes, his big watery eyes looked at him without blinking, which frightened him, Xie Ziqing woke up at some point, lying on the bed and staring at Ming Xuan all the time.

"You...... You're awake!" Suddenly seeing Ming Xuan open his eyes, Xie Ziqing was also stunned, her pink face immediately turned crimson, and she was speechless.

"Hmm......" Ming Xuan seemed to be a little confused.

"Then get up quickly, it's already dawn!" Xie Ziqing looked embarrassed and immediately ran out shyly.

By the time Ming Xuan walked out of the cabin, it was already three poles in the sun, and the bright sun shone so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes.

"Come and have some breakfast, it's going to be cold!" said the old woman with a smile, and the meaning was not to be expressed.

Ming Xuan was speechless, so he had to smile a few words as a response, but Xie Ziqing, who had always been down-to-earth and generous, lost his temper and sat aside with a crimson face, and he didn't know if he was embarrassed by the things in the cabin or because of the old woman's words.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, after spending this first day and night, the relationship between them has become much more casual, during the day Mingxuan helped the old man at the helm, Xie Ziqing was not idle, and also helped the old woman to clean up left and right, but also had their own fun, and at night, Xie Ziqing pestered Mingxuan to tell him about the interesting things he encountered in the rivers and lakes, or she also told about some of the things she had done, and the laughter like silver bells was still floating in the cabin in the middle of the night.

Time flies, and before they know it, they have spent more than ten days.

"Uncle, you rest, let me come. Ming Xuan went to take the pulp from the old man's hand again as usual.

"Thank you, Childe, but I don't need it this time, I see that the fleet in front of me is only afraid that it won't be long before it will dock, so you better save some effort." The old man smiled and waved his hand.

"Oh, is it true?" After so many days, although he had expected it, Ming Xuan couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.

"Although the old man I have been ferrying in Lucheng for a long time for a living, but when I was young, I also went south and north, I have also been here in this area, and then go dozens of miles ahead there is a big stone bridge across the river, although there is a bridge hole under the bridge for ships to pass, but recently the river has risen a lot of water, and the tall merchant ships in front are afraid that they can't pass, if it wants to dock, if I remember correctly, there is only such a big wharf about ten miles ahead. "The old man came to the truth, and the analysis was reasonable.

"Thank you, uncle, but it's still more than an hour away, so let me help you, it won't take much effort. "Ben just followed, and it didn't take much effort.

"Childe, although the old man doesn't know what you want to do, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't chew his tongue, but I still have to remind you that this dock is set up outside Langcheng City, and Langcheng is the territory of the Cao Gang Xiongfeng Hall, with great power and masters, you can be more careful, or take a rest. "After getting along for so long, the old man still knows the intentions of Dian Mingxuan and the others, and he can see that they are good people, so he can't help but say more.

"Xiongfeng Hall?" Ming Xuan didn't know much about the Cao Gang.

"The Cao Gang is divided into two halls, the hall with the word 'cloud' is relatively weak, our Lucheng is the territory of the Xingyun Hall, and the hall with the word 'wind' is much stronger, it is not a level at all. "The old man has lived in Lucheng for a long time, and he has been begging for a living on the water, it is impossible for him not to know this.

"I see, thank you for reminding me!" Ming Xuan bowed deeply and said, this information is very important to him, at least he will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

"I know so much old man, so it's better for the son to be more careful himself!" The old man naturally knows how to measure proportions, and it is inconvenient to say more if he has more.

"When you get to the shore, you can go back, uncle, you and the aunt have really worked hard for so many days, this is my little caution, don't shirk!" Ming Xuan took out some silver taels, these two old men have really worked hard these days.

"Childe, this can't be helped! You have given enough fares, and you have helped the helm to clean up along the way, old man, I am really ashamed to accept it!"

"Uncle, don't shirk it! This is what you deserve, take it quickly!" Xie Ziqing heard them talking, didn't say a word, and directly stuffed the silver into the old man's hand.

"This ...... This...... Okay, then the little old man will take it with a thick face, son, miss, if you come to Lucheng again, the little old man will definitely treat the two of you well!"

This time, the old man said that he didn't want Ming Xuan to help, and with his reminder, Ming Xuan and Xie Ziqing also hurriedly packed up and prepared to go ashore.

"I've lived for so long, and I'm really reluctant to leave suddenly!" Xie Ziqing said reluctantly after looking around at the small cabin.

"If you are free in the future, you can still come to the river to raft, you don't have to remember it like this. Ming Xuan said as he cleaned up.

"Elm head, can that be the same?" Xie Ziqing rolled her eyes and said, a little sentimentality instantly turned into annoyance, and she cleaned up and left the cabin.

"Isn't it different?" Ming Xuan looked at Xie Ziqing's departing back, confused.

Sure enough, when they were about to arrive at the dock, the fleet had changed significantly, and the paddlers who had not rowed all came out and began to count the goods, and their expressions were much more relaxed.

"Uncle, let's work harder, get to the dock before them!" After following for so long, no matter how much traces will be revealed, now that you know the destination, you don't need to continue to follow.

"Okay, you just sit tight!" A trip such a long distance is about to end, and he has made a small profit, and the old man is also in a happy mood, and he has endless strength in his hands.

Langcheng, located in the north-central part of Zhongzhou, is a medium-sized city, and Lucheng is the same as relying on the waterway to make a fortune, but the difference is that Langcheng has always been the hub of river transportation, the popularity is prosperous, the business is flourishing, and it is also a famous shipbuilding place in Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou but all the ships of some sizes are six or seven out of ten are from here, so the city is mostly related to the ship.

"Isn't it said that Langcheng is a holy place for shipbuilding, I think the ships here are also very ordinary! None of them can compare with our fleet!" After landing on the shore, Xie Ziqing paid attention to the fleet and looked around at the surrounding ships, and there were many new ships that had just been launched.

"Miss, this is not comparable at all! Your boat is a sea boat, which is to resist strong winds and waves, and the boats here mainly run in rivers, the wind and waves are not big, and in some places the river is narrow, so the big boats are useless!" Ming Xuan felt that it was necessary to explain it well.

"Oh, it seems to make some sense!" Xie Ziqing said with a wink.

"Well, going back like this is going downstream, and the old man and the aunt should be able to make it a lot easier. Mingxuan's mind was still thinking about the old man.

"Don't worry, it is estimated that they will be able to return to Lucheng in less than seven days!" Xie Ziqing said with certainty, this is her strength.

"That's good, I'm tired of them for ten days, and I feel a little sorry not to go!"

"Having said that, I have to say that you are a beater, since you know their hard work, then you are too stingy, and in the end you gave them such a little money, which is not interesting enough!" Xie Ziqing said angrily.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Ming Xuan asked with a smile.

"Anyway, I have to give two or three hundred taels of silver!" Xie Ziqing said without thinking about it.

"Then do you think they're going to want it?" Ming Xuan continued to ask rhetorically.

"Uh...... 'M afraid...... I'm afraid I won't want it. Being asked by Ming Xuan like this, Xie Ziqing was a little hesitant.

"That's right, the old man and the eldest mother are honest people, if they give too much, they will definitely not ask for it, only if they give a little less, they will reluctantly accept it, and they will be at peace in their hearts. Ming Xuan said patiently.

"Oh, is this also the experience of the rivers and lakes?" Xie Ziqing somewhat understood.

"Of course, this belongs to the human feelings in the experience of the rivers and lakes. Ming Xuan shrugged and said.

During the conversation, the fleet of "Huimin Tea Shop" slowly sailed into the wharf, similar to the Lucheng Wharf, the team of the Cao Gang was waiting there early, not only nearly 100 workers, but also with dozens of carriages, as soon as the ship docked, it began to unload in an orderly manner, after all, this is the territory of the Cao Gang, although it is high-profile, but no one dares to mix blindly, the other ships that were also unloading on the side, had to retreat to the side, and wait for them to unload first, even if it is a good person, they only dare to watch from a distance, it can be seen that the power of the Cao Gang here is strong.

"It's strange, the Cao Gang is very low-key and cautious along the way, obviously attaches great importance to these gunpowders, but I haven't seen any leaders appear from beginning to end, so it shouldn't be!" Xie Ziqing said quite old-fashionedly, after going out for so long, it seems that he has made a lot of progress.

"Maybe it's because this is the territory of the Cao Gang, and there are so many eyeliners that can't do anything, or maybe it's because this kind of shipment has been carried out more than a dozen times, and there have been no problems, so it's relaxed. Ming Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, what should we do next?

"Well, look where exactly they're going. "Since you have followed here, even if you enter the Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to continue to follow.

Such a big team, and so many goods, the two naturally will not lose, but this time, the team did not go long, less than half an hour away, the carriage drove into a mansion, the door number is very eye-catching, and the vermilion pen is written with three big characters of "Xiongfeng Hall".

This is obviously the headquarters of Xiongfudo.
