Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi walked out of the gate of Zhang's mansion, but saw two small sedan chairs parked in front of the door. Zhang Shi frowned, and said to the butler who was standing beside him with his hands down: "Didn't I say last night that I shouldn't prepare a sedan chair?

The housekeeper was startled when he heard Zhang Shi's stern tone, and said in a trembling voice: "The master drank a lot of wine last night, and when he was resting, he didn't tell the villain whether to prepare a sedan chair this morning." The villain thought that the old man was drunk, and thought that he was prepared, so he called two small sedan chairs to wait in front of the door. If the old man doesn't want to sit in a sedan chair, the villain will let them leave. ”

Zhang Shi snorted and said, "The thief kills the talent, you are clever." You can withdraw the money from the account room to rent the sedan chair, and talk to the sedan chair man, and don't bully others. ”

The butler nodded as if he had been pardoned, and then ran quickly to the sedan chair. Zhang Shi turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, let's go." ”

The two left Zhang's Mansion and walked into the Sifang Alley. It was still early in the morning, and the streets were empty of few pedestrians. When the martial artists who were guarding in front of the houses saw Li Qiufeng, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they didn't dare to meet Li Qiufeng's eyes again, so they had to turn their heads to the side.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi smiled at Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, you didn't fight in vain. Look at the appearance of these guys, I'm afraid you're going to die. These people are all idlers in Ningbo City, who can't be cut and stewed, and they have never been so afraid of people. Brother Zhu, when we return to Middle-earth from Fusang Kingdom, you don't have to go back to Shuzhong, stay in Zhangfu to help me, all kinds of people in the city naturally dare not offend our Zhang family. Of course, I will never treat you badly. I don't know what Brother Zhu thinks?"

Li Qiufeng said: "This matter is very important, and we must show my father to see what his old man plans." It's not arrogant, but I don't dare to disobey my father, so I ask Zhang Yuanwai to forgive me. ”

The two talked and talked about it, and went all the way south, passing through the stone workshop at the entrance of Sifang Lane, and heading straight to the wharf. Li Qiufeng looked around as he walked, making a look of surprise. After Zhang Shi saw Li Qiufeng like this, he became even more relieved, thinking that Li Qiufeng had just come to Ningbo City yesterday to sell Shu brocade, and was not sent by the enemy, so he finally put a heart back in his stomach.

When the two arrived at the pier, they saw a lively scene in front of them. Some sailing ships set sail early in the morning to free up berths for many ships at the docks. Li Qiufeng followed Zhang Shi through the crowd, about a cup of tea, and then arrived in front of the big ship yesterday. However, he saw that the wooden boxes and sacks that had been placed on the shore were gone, and he thought that they had been moved to the ship by the ship's family. Shopkeeper Hu and five other shopkeepers stood on the shore, huddled together and whispered.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Hu and the others were gathered together, Zhang Shi first waved his hand at Li Qiufeng and whispered: "I will meet you shopkeepers in a while, and I will talk to them, the less Brother Zhu says, the better." ”

Li Qiufeng nodded. Zhang Shi ignored him anymore, and walked quickly towards Shopkeeper Hu and the others, while smiling: "Old Hu, why did you come so early?"

Shopkeeper Hu and the others turned their heads to look, and when they saw Zhang Shi arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward. Shopkeeper Hu exchanged a few words with Zhang Shi, and then said with a smile: "These things are the net worth of a few of us, if there is anything wrong, it will be a big deal." So we got here early in the morning to see if anything went wrong. When we arrived, we found that something was missing, which scared the rest of us. Fortunately, we sent someone from the left to report that it was late last night, and the captain of the boat took the boatman to move all the things to the ship. Let's just put our minds at ease. ”

Zhang Shi knew that Shopkeeper Hu and others were worried about the loss of goods, so he sent people to keep an eye on the dock. I only heard him laugh and say: "We have been doing business with the ship boss for six years, and there has never been a problem. Shopkeeper Hu doesn't have to worry, if there is really any loss, I will also compensate for it as an intermediary, and I will definitely not let you lose all your money. ”

When the shopkeeper heard Zhang Shi say this, his fat face was full of smiles, and he said: "With Zhang Yuanwai as a guarantor, how can we have anything to worry about? As long as this business is safe and secure, Zhang Yuanwai will be our great benefactor, and it will be indispensable to the hearts of the people." ”

The shopkeeper Hu's voice fell, and the rest of the shopkeepers also echoed him. Zhang Shi smiled: "Everyone is a good friend, and if you talk nonsense, Zhang's face can't be hung up." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the boat, turned to the shopkeeper Hu and said, "Has the boat boss come out to see you?"

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said, "I just heard from the boatman that the boat boss went to buy things to go to sea early in the morning and has not yet returned. However, our cargo has been placed on the ship, and when the ship boss returns, we can go to the ship and have a look. ”

Zhang Shi nodded, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, let me introduce you to a few friends." ”

Shopkeeper Hu and the others were all well-informed people, and they saw Li Qiufeng standing behind Zhang Shi. Because I don't know the origin of Li Qiufeng, when a few people talk to Zhang Shi, they are all very careful, for fear that they will say the wrong thing and spoil everyone's big things. Listening to Zhang Shi at this time, everyone's eyes fell on Li Qiufeng.

Zhang Shi introduced Shopkeeper Hu and others to Li Qiufeng one by one. It turned out that these six shopkeepers were surnamed Hu, Bai, Song, Yin, Ji, and Luo, from Ningbo, Huzhou, Huizhou, Wuxi and other places, and all of them were rich and wealthy people. Li Qiufeng thought to himself, looking at the appearance of these six people, they are all smooth people, and he must be careful everywhere when he walks with these people, so as not to be seen by these old foxes.

After Zhang Shi introduced the six shopkeepers, he pointed to Li Qiufeng and said to the shopkeeper Hu and the others: "This friend's surname is Zhu, and he is a chivalrous warrior invited by Zhang to escort us. And you need to be more intimate with him. ”

Shopkeeper Hu and the others carefully looked at Li Qiufeng. Seeing that he was only in his twenties, his body was a little thin, and he didn't have the slightest bit of toughness, he was a little suspicious in his heart. Li Qiufeng hugged a reunion, and said: "I am entrusted by Zhang Yuanwai to go to sea with all the shopkeepers, and I hope you will take care of them." ”

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly returned the gift. The two sides were polite for a while, but they heard the white shopkeeper say: "This Brother Zhu is young, and he can become a guest of Zhang Yuanwai, and he must have an amazing art industry in the future." Can you show us your hands and open our eyes?"

Li Qiufeng knew that these people saw that they were young, and they were suspicious and wanted to test their martial arts. I thought that if I couldn't convince these people, I was afraid that they would not be willing to take me to Fuso. He smiled, pointed to the high pole on the bow of the small boat on the right side of the big boat, and said, "Have you seen the lantern?"

Shopkeeper Hu and the others turned their heads to look, and the lantern was about five or six zhang away from everyone, more than two zhang away from the deck. Everyone thought to themselves, how could we not see the lantern if our eyes were not blind?

Li Qiufeng took out a copper coin from his bosom with his right hand, put it flat in his palm, and turned around in front of Shopkeeper Hu and others. Shopkeeper Hu and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Li Qiufeng's intention was when he took out a copper coin for everyone to watch. Li Qiufeng withdrew his right hand and pinched the copper coin with his thumb, index finger and middle finger. I didn't see how hard he worked, only heard a sharp sound of "snort", and a yellow light flew out of his right hand. Between the lightning and flint, I saw that the lantern hanging on the high pole suddenly fell off and fell straight into the water.

Shopkeeper Hu and the others could see clearly on the side, and the yellow light emitted by Li Qiufeng's hand flew straight towards the lantern, cutting the rope from which the lantern was hung, which made the lantern fall into the water. The yellow light did not go away, and flew out a few feet, and then fell into the river.

The faces of Shopkeeper Hu and the others changed greatly, knowing that Li Qiufeng had broken the rope with a copper coin, causing the lantern to fall. Although these people don't know martial arts, they also know that Li Qiufeng's secret weapon kung fu is extremely good. After the lantern fell into the water, several shopkeepers couldn't help but cry out. Shopkeeper Song even gave Li Qiufeng a thumbs up, and said, "This old brother Zhu is so young, he is so good. Song was sailing on Dongting Lake last year, and he once saw Huang Tang, known as the 'Dongting Three Masters', duel with the Pengjiazhai gang. At that time, Huang Tang launched a dart, which opened Song's eyes. But today, I saw Brother Zhu's secret weapon kung fu, which was much higher than Huang Tang. Admire, admire. ”
