576.The Monkey Secret Hall (Chapter 5)
Zhao Dongting, who traveled from later generations, knew very well in his heart how much development potential this island had.
It's a pity that he can't spare the energy to get the flow now.
But in any case, this trip has already planted the red lady's dark chess in the Dongsha Islands, even if you can't kill Cai Jianjiu, it can be regarded as a great gain.
The importance of the Dongsha Islands at sea is not understood by others and cannot be seen through. He Zhao Dongting, but he can see through it.
Before you know it, two carriages are approaching the gate of Salt Water.
The walls were only made of adobe bricks, and on the gates hung a plaque that had lost its bright color - salt water.
There are a few flags erected on the head of the city, with dragons and stars on them, and the pattern of the dragon swimming in the starry sky is painted.
I heard that Emperor Xing, the lord of this begging country, has a soft spot for stars because of the star character in his name, and even built a star tower in the east, but now it seems that he is afraid that it is really something.
The government of Yanshui City is still playing, and the government of the Song Dynasty is tired of playing the abandoned set.
As soon as the two carriages reached the city gate, they were stopped by the guards guarding the city. The soldier lifted the curtain and saw Zhao Dongting and the others inside, his expression was cold, and he said a few words.
The shrimp is familiar with the road, and he smiles and offers some broken silver. Divide into two parts, some more and some less.
The leading soldier finally had a smile on his face, and said in Leizhou dialect, "It's still you Han people who are generous." ”
Then he waved his hand and shouted in Hokkien dialect: "Let them in." ”
Two horse-drawn carriages entered the city one after the other.
The streets of the city have not yet been paved with green bricks, but only dirt roads, which are inevitably dusty.
"Phew!"
Xiami, who was sitting next to Zhao Dongting, smacked lightly, "If it's not generous, can you let us into the city?" ”
Zhao Dongting was a little interested, "These rogue soldiers like to slaughter our Song people? ”
Xiami's face was still a little indignant, "Gongzi doesn't know, these people all regard us Song people as fat sheep!" There are not many rich people in this place, and seeing that our Song people are generous, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, I had just arrived at the Liuqiu Running Boat, and we Song people still had preferential treatment when entering the city, and we didn't need to pay any entry tax. Later, there was no preferential treatment, not to mention, and I had to give these soldiers some benefits, otherwise, no matter how much silver I had, I would not want to go into the city to buy things. ”
"Hey!"
Zhao Dongting chuckled, "This is interesting, as if we are begging them to do business." ”
Mrs. Xu next to her also smiled, "Childe, it seems that our Great Song Dynasty is still too polite." ”
Zhao Dongting nodded approvingly.
He really didn't think that Liuqiu had such an attitude towards the Song people. It's a shame that in Leizhou, they also give special treatment to the traders who beg to come and go!
Fuck it!
Not to mention being powerful and blessed in Leizhou, in this stream, you have to exploit it, you really don't know what to do.
When they arrived at the simple horse post in the city, Zhao Dongting and his party got off the carriage.
Zhao Dongting asked Xiami to find the inn and slept in Salt Water City that night. In the evening, I always get some special snacks to eat in Yanshui City, etc., and I don't mention it.
Salt Water City is really not as lively as Haikang County.
On the contrary, those little beggars in the city were very enthusiastic, and when they saw outsiders like them, they flocked to them, and they had the posture of not letting them go without giving money.
Zhao Dongting didn't care about those scattered copper plates, but he just begged the government to have such an attitude towards the Song Dynasty, which inevitably made him even more unhappy.
Is it really unclear who is the Lord and who is from it?
The Great Song Dynasty is rich in resources, and it does not seek trade with the stream, but it doesn't have much impact. And if Liuqiu does not trade with the Great Song Dynasty, there is one less financier.
The next day, Zhao Dongting asked Xiami to ask the innkeeper for the way to Monkey City, so he rented a carriage at the horse post and continued to go north.
In this way, three days passed, passing through Ligang, Fengshan and other cities, and finally arrived outside the monkey city.
Fortunately, in these inland cities that are not on the edge of the harbor, the soldiers at the city gate have not been raised, but they have just collected the normal entry tax and let them go.
Zhao Dongting finally felt more comfortable.
Monkey City is also not big, let alone rich, if you really want to compare, I am afraid that even Yanshui City is slightly inferior.
If it weren't for the word salt water hanging on the head of the city and the defenders, Zhao Dongting would really think that this was just a town.
After walking into the city for a while, I found that there were only two main streets in the entire county.
The outside of the mansion is in tatters, which is really far from those high-door and big-tiled mansions in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Xilai Inn."
Later, Zhao Dongting saw a shop on the street with a sign of Xilai Inn, so he walked straight in.
There was Gesse.
The innkeeper also came from the west.
This inn is naturally one of the dark halls planted by the Military Intelligence Department in Liuqiu. There are only a few dark halls in the whole stream.
Zhao Dongting walked into the inn, and it was very deserted.
Opening an inn in such a city, and there is a sign hanging outside the door that only stays and does not play sharp, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a loss-making deal.
However, the proprietress inside is a very outstanding girl, with peach blossom eyes, how charming she looks, and she has a seductive aura like a fox spirit.
This made Zhao Dongting slightly stunned, and couldn't help thinking, "Such a good seedling, how could Wu Lianying be willing to arrange to come here?" ”
If it weren't for Wu Lianying being a eunuch, he was afraid that Mo would have thought that Wu Lianying had plans to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house. Of course, this golden house is inevitably too far away from the Great Song Dynasty.
The proprietress looked indifferent, but she was only slightly surprised when Zhao Dongting and the others were dressed, "How many people live in the hotel?" ”
Zhao Dongting said: "We came from the west. ”
The proprietress stopped putting the bright red lipstick on her mouth, "Where are you going?" ”
Her fat was too red, like human blood. She looks a little like a white bone spirit that eats people.
Zhao Dongting walked to the counter and said, "Don't go anywhere." Come from the west to do something, and then go back to the west. ”
The proprietress pointed upstairs, "The upstairs are empty, and a few people can live casually." ”
Shrimp listened to the confused conversation between the two beside him, completely confused. I just thought about it, this boss lady is really beautiful.
The group went upstairs by themselves.
Soon it will be night.
The voice of the proprietress came from below, "A few guest officers, it's time to eat." ”
The food was bought from the inn next door.
Zhao Dongting and a few people went downstairs.
The proprietress was already sitting at the table, her red lips were still bright red, "Do you want to drink?" ”
Hong Wutian had a habit of drinking, so he nodded.
The proprietress opened the wine cabinet, and there were many jars of wine sealed with red seals unexpectedly placed inside, which looked like they were some years old.
As soon as it was brought to the table, the aroma of wine overflowed.
Zhao Dongting said: "This is an authentic Leizhou pear flower? It's not easy to buy this kind of wine here, right? ”
The proprietress raised her hand to pour wine, revealing her white and delicate wrists, "It's funny, we people, where is it easy and not easy." Have you had an easy time? ”
She only regarded Zhao Dongting as a colleague of the ordinary military intelligence department, but she never thought that Zhao Dongting would be the emperor. After all, Zhao Dongting didn't even show the token.
In the military intelligence department, those who can be officials have tokens in hand.
Zhao Dongting stopped talking.
The proprietress seems to be very good at this, eating carefully and chewing slowly, and drinking very much. The crimson lipstick stains the rim of the bowl with a tempting red lip print.
Shrimp stared blankly, and the proprietress happened to look at him, and he lowered his head in shame.
He is just an ordinary Leizhou man, and he hasn't asked for a daughter-in-law yet. There is an old family member, so I didn't go to the Qinglou to have fun, and I am still a child.
is such a cold and glamorous stunner as the proprietress, he is afraid that he has never been so close in his life.
Night.
There are stars.
There was some cold wind on the roof of the inn, and Zhao Dongting came out of the room and walked up the stairs to the roof.
The proprietress is really here.
He could smell the smell of wine wafting from the rooftops in his room.
"Easy, not easy?"
Zhao Dongting walked next to the proprietress and sat down by herself, and said, "You don't seem to have a good time in our yamen?" ”
The proprietress didn't know where to look in her eyes, she didn't turn her head, and the crimson lipstick inevitably looked a little oozing in such a night, "It's not easy." In the past, we had to do all the easy things and the difficult things, so it was not easy or difficult. It's okay for now, at least I can live a quiet life here. ”
The night breeze was a little cold, and she didn't seem to be able to stop the coldness from drinking, so she hugged her chest with both hands.
Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Our yamen is not free, and we can't help ourselves." Didn't you ask for an errand in this stream before? With your appearance, how can the people above be willing to let you come? ”
The proprietress finally tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Dongting lightly, "If you want to get close, you can avoid it." I just want to live a quiet life here now, and I don't want to do the dewy couple with anyone. Although everyone in the yamen knows that women like us are not too clean, I am still clean. ”
Zhao Dongting was stunned.
Beauty green willow.
Raise your hands to kill, and embroider red lips with low eyebrows.
