Chapter 16: Arrival in Fuzhou
This out of the city horse galloping on the official road is quite peaceful, but into the Fujian boundary road people are too less, occasionally there are also the teahouse post stations that are sold along the way, and continue to rush but the sky is dark, there is no inn on the Fujian border post road, Liu Yifan saw that it was late, so he stopped and asked Wang Si to find a place to rest, and finally he found a small inn not far away, when he arrived at the inn, the sky was completely dark, and the inn could be seen from a distance The lights illuminated the black night sky brightly, Liu Yifan also saw a lot of horses tied to the horse stall next to the inn by good eyesight, and there were a lot of wooden carriagesEach carriage was covered with a canvas and full of goods, and many people sat on the side of the carriage drinking and chatting, with weapons in their hands.

Liu Yifan and his entourage also rode to the door of the inn and there was a little two to lead the horse, when Liu Yifan stepped into the inn, he attracted everyone's attention, today Liu Yifan is also very delicate and moving, the pink low-cut bandeau dress, plus a long-sleeved jacket outside, a wide belt around the waist, is attractive in figure, white flowers on the chest, the previous drinking and chatting people were also stunned, Liu Yifan glanced around, and found that most of these people were afraid of martial arts, in addition to the wine and food on the table, there were various weapons, all of them were not fuel-efficient lamps。
"Where is the shopkeeper, but there is still a room, hurry up and open two upper rooms" Zhao Er is also not surprised, his own master is really dressed unusually, but he also feels beautiful, and he is also extremely obsessed with accompanying him every day, but he knows that his identity is satisfied if he can see it every day.
A middle-aged man was drinking at the wine table, and naturally hurriedly trotted in front of Liu Yifan, "Everyone, I'm sorry, the shop is full, look at this.." After speaking, he glanced at the ravine on Liu Yifan's chest a few times, and then looked at Zhao Er with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, you say you don't have it, hurry up and get one, if you make my master unhappy, you will not be able to eat tonight!" Zhao Er was aggressive, there was no way, he couldn't go to the wilderness to live for a night, if the carriage was fine, it would be a night, but this is all about riding a horse.
As soon as these words came out, it also made the shopkeeper anxious, isn't it difficult for a strong man, and sure enough, he saw that someone in the hall was uneven, "Don't be afraid of the shopkeeper, there is no room without a room, you evil slave dare to force it, hurry up and find another place to live outside!"
Zhao Er looked at the person who spoke, he was holding a steel knife in his hand, and glared at him, this behavior naturally fell in the eyes of many people in the rivers and lakes, and they all shouted and scolded, and the shopkeeper was also afraid of making a fuss, and he was extremely flustered in his heart, and he was afraid of offending the few people in front of him.
"I'm sorry, my servant also saw that it was late, when he was anxious, I could have spent the night outside, but I pity my daughter for a young age, I really can't stand the cold of the night, and I ask which hero to give up a room, it is a heavy reward" Liu Yifan actually didn't care about it at all, and on the surface, he also made the little woman pitiful, and the effect was also very good.
"That's it, Bai Er, Lin Fu, you two will give up a room to this lady tonight," a young man also said after being silent for a while.
"Okay, the two of us are also rough and thick-skinned, and sleeping in the open is a common thing, if Shi Darttou doesn't tell the two of us, he also plans to get out of the room" I saw that the black-faced man in the strong suit was also complimented, Liu Yifan could see clearly that the people in this group of people and the people guarding the goods at the door were all together, and there was a small token engraved with Fuwei on his waist.
Liu Yifan also smiled, "There are so many more, please put the good wine and good food on the shopkeeper, you have offended a lot just now, I invite you tonight, I hope you don't shirk"
"Good to say", "Good to say," "polite"....Everyone was quite happy to see that they could eat for free, and Liu Yifan also asked Caidie to go to vacate the room with Xiao Er and place the luggage.
"I haven't asked Mr. yet, thank you so much for Mr. tonight" Liu Yifan and his daughter also sat at the table known as Shi Dart.
"It's good to say, the contemptible people and this group of brothers are all from the Fuzhou City Fuwei Dart Bureau, this is Bai Er, this is Lin Fu" This Shi Dart Head is also not afraid of the ill-intentioned person, when Lin Yuantu learned the Sunflower Treasure Book on the kung fu to fight all over the world invincible, and broke out of the prestige, who in the martial arts does not give a little face, plus this Lin Zhennan is the son-in-law of the king of Luoyang Golden Daomen Yuanba, so he can naturally eat well in Fuzhou.
Liu Yifan had already guessed it, and he also looked like he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, Bai Erlin Fu Daxia, I often hear people mention it in the capital, a few real heroes"
"The hero doesn't dare to be, but whenever we see injustice, we have to take care of it" This Shi dart head was patted by Liu Yifan, and it was naturally comfortable.
"It turned out to be the head of the history of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, if it is really about righteousness and heroism, I can't wait" "Yes, I heard that the Fuwei Dart Bureau is not a hero, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary" "Hmph"
The hall is all concerned about the situation at this table, and some people also began to talk about touting, this fame of the rivers and lakes is not just blown out like this, Shi Darttou and these two people are proud when they hear those talking about good things, of course, there are also those who don't care, Liu Yifan secretly observed that the martial arts of those people are much higher than Shi Darthead present, but he didn't say too much, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes.
"Everyone's cooking, please use it slowly" After chatting for a while, Xiao Er brought the steaming dishes, Zhu Zhu was already a little hungry, and he was not picky eaters, Liu Yifan also got up and picked up the wine jug to pour wine for the audience, this hand couldn't stop the style on his chest, the Shi dart head was okay, this Bai Er and Lin Fu were stunned.
Liu Yifan picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you tonight, I'll do it first" After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all, and everyone saw Liu Yifan standing up and raising his head, and he also saw that his lower abdomen was on fire.
"Good" The three of them all took up their wine glasses and drank them all, and then they began to eat and chat, chatting while eating, and after a while, Liu Yifan and his daughter were full of food and drink, so they retired, swaying upstairs, and the martial arts people in the lobby were all talking lively.
This night was peaceful, but last night when Liu Yifan was practicing, he heard someone next door talking about this Fuwei dart game, as well as Lin Yuantu Lin Zhennan, and the words were also in Sichuan, I am afraid that it is the Qingcheng faction, although the voice is small, but it still can't escape Liu Yifan's ears, and practicing Liu Yifan overnight is also in good spirits, for this person who practices refining qi, he almost refines his own essence and blood, and Liu Yifan, the female friend of the month, also refines it into qi, and there is less torture.
The next morning, Liu Yifan also got up early, called the guard all night Zhao Erwang Si to rest for a while, he asked Xiao Er to bring a pot of hot water, and made a pot of tea for himself。
Liu Yifan rode a horse to the city of Fuzhou in the afternoon, only to see the city wall is tall, you know that the cost is quite high, the city needs to build the silver taels is also afraid of astronomical amounts, this to and from the merchants and the ordinary people should be in and out of an endless stream, the city gate since there are officers and soldiers on errands, this era into the city is also to rely on documents or money, if the people in the city are of course free to enter and exit, most of the officers and soldiers also know, naturally will not ask for money embarrassed.
"Stop, there are documents" Liu Yifan was also stopped by the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, and his tone was quite respectful, first respecting Luo Yi and then dressing, Liu Yifan and his party should be graceful and luxurious, and they knew at a glance that the origin was extraordinary, which was what these ordinary officers and soldiers could afford.
"You wait for the dog's eyes, where is your general defending the city, don't come out quickly to greet him" Zhao Er also took out a token from his waist, he was also a general of the forbidden army before, his official position was not low, and there were also many friends in the army who served in the Quartet, this token is also an official certificate, and several people have not been dismissed until now, naturally for the convenience of doing things.
"Wait a minute, the little one will report immediately" The man took the token and his tone was also tactful, and immediately ran to a tavern on the edge of the city gate, and after a while, a guard with armor came out, and this person actually knew Zhao Er from afar, and he laughed and shouted, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Brother Zhao, the capital is a few years, Brother Zhao has been good recently"
"Brother Lin, this is my master, please move and speak, don't be rude when you come to the door!" Zhao Er also hurriedly introduced Liu Yifan to this guard.
The guard general has also seen a lot of the world, and the Qinglou has also been visited a lot, and he thought that the young woman in front of him was dressed a little revealing and casual, but suddenly remembered one thing in his mind, "The last general Lin Weihu saw Niangniang, please move and talk about it carefully"
Liu Yifan saw that this person had guessed his identity, and he no longer postponed, "Well, please lead the way."
This Lin Weihu then took Liu Yifan and his party to his home for a while, this three-in-four courtyard is really a rare good house, and it costs a lot to open and close, sitting on the hall, the housekeeper immediately sent tea and pastries, and ordered someone to clean up the room and settle Liu Yifan and them.
"It is rumored in the court that Niangniang was killed by the Sun and Moon God Sect when she left the capital, and it is a lie to think of it," Lin Weihu also sat aside and asked respectfully.
Liu Yifan also smiled and drank a sip of tea before he said unhurriedly, "There are a lot of people in the court who want me to die, and there are also people in the palace who want me to die, why not be an adult, General Lin, what I said is right."
Lin Weihu is a wonderful person, and he is not a fool to be able to play this family business." Yes, with all due respect, Niang Niang is not the opponent of the queen's family, it is rumored that the emperor is old, and the court is also controlled by the smoky miasma treacherous villain, and the last general is also the last person, it is better to be happy and happy on the side of the town, and the last will be deeply honored to see Niangniang today, and please Niangniang does not think that my house is ugly, Niangniang will live as long as she wants, if Niangniang likes, I will give this house to Niangniang, and the 300 acres of fertile land will also be given to Niangniang together"
"Brother Lin, look at what you said, the mother has already been arranged when she is not out of the palace, and the Sun and Moon Sect is just a group of little minions, whoever wants you to do this, don't make the mother laugh" Wang Si also opened his mouth and laughed.
"Yes, General Lin misunderstood, I live there in a courtyard on the edge of the West Lake, and I came to Fuzhou this time just to play, but there is something to ask for" Liu Yifan also smiled slightly, and at the moment he also maintained that identity and temperament, this qi cultivation kung fu is really good, if you ask others strongly, I am afraid that it will make people feel guilty, and if you whisper, it is not in line with its identity, it is better to be open-minded.
"If it is the boundary of Fuzhou, Niangniang can rest assured, my old Lin should do his best" This Lin Weihu is also an old oilman, first pretending to be generous, and then speaking without leakage.
"Oh, little thing, I see that this Fuzhou shipping is prosperous, I want to organize a few big ships to go to sea to the Nanyang trade, if you can find a partner, you should be divided according to shares, earlier I also heard in the capital that South Fuwei North Zhenyuan, these two dart games must be good darts players, but also want to ask General Lin to introduce a fan, if General Lin is interested, you can also participate together, we, reasonable, according to the two people of the silver to share the profits, a boat out to earn back as much silver as you want, you consider considering" Liu Yifan also said it clearly in one breath.
"Well, this matter is promising, Niangniang, I should be in the last share, the big ship is easy to find, there is a trading house that can be rented or bought, but I don't know how much silver Niangniang is ready to pay" Lin Weihu was silent for a while and figured it out, most of the maritime trade in Fuzhou made a lot of money, and there were also unfortunate pirates and capsized ships and robbed, and there was no return.
"Naturally, the bigger the better, if you can hit a few lucky boats, it is the best, a little bit is fine, as for the silver two, it will never be less" Liu Yifan is also not short of money, but the money and property involved this time are quite large, and it is also painful.
"Niangniang is really courageous, this matter is afraid of long-term discussion, it is better for Niangniang to live for a while, I have contacted several business people and the state capital, the Fuwei Dart Bureau is too small, such a large caravan must be dispatched to the sailor officers and soldiers to act as escorts." Lin Weihu is also hot in his heart, this kind of courage and this scale of trade, it is definitely an astronomical wealth, if you come so many times, don't say that the life is glorious and rich, even the wealth of the ancestors and grandchildren can also be kept for several generations, he also very much agrees, the bigger the fleet, the better, the more powerful the people.
"It's okay, then I also ask General Lin to help get in touch, I have a lot of money, and I ask the general to do his best to protect my identity" Liu Yifan looked at Lin Weihu and was also a very far-sighted person, and he was also quite satisfied.
That night, Liu Yifan instructed Zhao Er to contact the manpower, Liu Yifan used to control a lot of people, and at this time, he also personally wrote a few letters for Zhao Er to send with the messenger, asking them to come to Fuzhou for a meeting to study the shipping matter, and Lin Weihu also sent a few cronies to find someone.
The next day, Liu Yifan also had nothing to do, after all, it was not so fast to send someone to deliver the letter, and the set day was also half a month later, such a major event was naturally sent by the person who sealed the confidant with his own letter, Wang Si also asked Lin Weihu to come to a guide, that is, to ask Lin Weihu to be busy by himself, no need to greet Liu Yifan, this is also Liu Yifan's personal order, then Lin Weihu is not too enthusiastic, when he sent his own eldest son to serve in front of the saddle and behind the horse, this kid also knows Liu Yifan's noble identity, once the emperor dies, the prince succeeds to the throne, it is even more amazing, naturally he is trying his best。
"Lin Jingtang, take me to the Fuwei Dart Bureau to have a look, I have heard the name of the Lin Yuan Tulin family, and I want to see it for myself when I come to Fuzhou this time." Liu Yifan knows that Ling Hu Chong is only a 10-year-old child, this Lin Pingzhi is even younger, I am afraid that he is not as old as his daughter, of course, he wants to see Lin Zhennan in advance, and Mrs. Lin, although Lin Yuantu has passed away, but the prestige is still there, that is, after more than 10 years, although everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Lin family is like that, but there are also many people who give face, at this time, of course, the prestige is more vigorous, and the Fuwei dart game is very open.
