The white shopkeeper, the Luo shopkeeper and others wished that the shopkeeper Hu and Zhang Shi would go to Wangjiazhuang together, so that the silver to buy wood would be taken out by the shopkeeper Hu, and they could save a sum of money. It was the voice of the shopkeeper Song that fell, and everyone nodded in agreement. It's just that the shopkeeper Hu is willing to suffer this big loss, and he desperately shakes his head and refuses to agree. Everyone is noisy and shouting, and they are all thinking about everyone, but in fact, they are all thinking about letting others pay.

Xiao Dong saw these iron roosters like this, and he was angry and funny in his heart. He naturally knew everyone's thoughts, sneered, and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, you are going to talk to the king about wood for all of us." The money spent is naturally shared equally by everyone. ”

As soon as Xiao Dong said this, everyone stopped arguing, and everyone had their own calculations in their hearts. Shopkeeper Hu thought to himself, if Lao Tzu advanced the silver, and you dragged the money and didn't give the money to Lao Tzu, wouldn't Lao Tzu lose a lot? It's just that when he saw Xiao Dong's fierce eyes, he knew that if he shirked it, the person surnamed Xiao would inevitably turn against him. This man is ruthless, and if he offends him, there will be trouble. It's better to agree to come down first and go to Wangjiazhuang with Zhang Shi and Qin Laowu. If the king had a suitable piece of wood in his hand, he agreed to sell it to himself. If you don't pay the money first, after the old Song bastards have paid the money, it's not too late to hand over the money to the surnamed Wang.

Shopkeeper Hu made up his mind in his heart, so he nodded, and said, "Since Master Xiao ordered it, I will obey my orders." ”

Shopkeeper Song and the others thought in their hearts that Lao Hu agreed so happily, there must be fraud in it. Most of the time, after he arrived at Wangjiazhuang, even if the surname Wang had suitable wood, he would not pay the money on the spot, and he would have to let us all pay the money, so that he could rest assured. It's just that it's best for you to do it first. At that time, everyone only said that the money would not be used, and the person surnamed Xiao was instigated to let you put in the silver first. At that time, no matter how shrewd you are, you won't dare to turn your face with the surname Xiao, and everyone will have room to maneuver.

Several shopkeepers had their own ghosts, and praised the shopkeeper Hu a few words without smiling. Xiao Dong was anxious in his heart, and didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he said: "Since everyone has no objections, Zhang Yuanwai, Hu shopkeeper, you should hurry up and go to Wangjiazhuang with Wei shopkeeper." ”

Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu nodded yes, said goodbye to Xiao Dong and the others, and took Qin Lao Wu to get off the boat with Wei Erbao. It's just that Kankan walked to the bow of the boat, Zhang Shi suddenly stopped, turned to Li Qiufeng, who had been standing next to him and didn't speak, and said, "Brother Zhu, aren't you going with me?"

Li Qiufeng watched coldly, and saw that Shopkeeper Hu, Shopkeeper Song and others were ugly, and he was secretly amused in his heart, secretly thinking that these people were all greedy, no wonder they could save thousands of family fortunes. At this time, when Zhang Shi asked him if he was going together, he secretly thought in his heart that he had already told Murong Qiushui last night that he would not go ashore again, and he must not violate his oath. He thought for a moment, and then said to Zhang Shi: "When I go to talk about buying timber, I am just a rough person, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to go with him." ”

Zhang Shi thought about it, he went to Wangjiazhuang to do business, not to fight with others, not to mention that it was in broad daylight, so there was no danger in thinking. Thinking of this, he nodded and said to Li Qiufeng: "In this case, Brother Zhu is resting on the boat." When we come back, bring back wine and meat for Brother Zhu and have a few drinks. ”

After Zhang Shi and the others left, Xiao Dong and Shopkeeper Song chatted a few words, and then went back to the cabin. Li Qiufeng walked to the stern of the boat and looked out to sea. The blue sky in front of you, the sparkling water, the seabirds gather, the sea and the sky are the same color, and it is spectacular. Li Qiufeng looked far away, and the pride in his chest suddenly became angry, and the depressed air was swept away. He secretly thought in his heart that he had seen Zhang Yong and Murong Qiushui's martial arts last night, and he was indeed far behind. However, in terms of unscrupulous means and killing and injuring the enemy, these two martial arts masters have their own shortcomings. For example, Murong Qiushui could have killed himself without much effort, but he had to fight himself with the most common martial arts in the rivers and lakes, such as small grapplers. Murong Qiushui did this, although he wanted to find out the origin of his martial arts, but he also had the intention of teaseing himself because he despised himself. If he hides deeply, Murong Qiushui is completely defenseless, and he suddenly counterattacks, even if he can't hurt Murong Qiushui, he can force him to mess up. He had fought with Murong Danqing that day, and in terms of internal strength, Murong Danqing was naturally inferior to Murong Qiushui, but he was an enemy with Murong Danqing, and he was worried about his life all the time, which was more dangerous than fighting with Murong Qiushui.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng rubbed his hands, secretly thinking that when he left Shuzhong, the master had given Zhao Yun a Pu Yuan knife to him. It's just that this knife is too sharp, and once it is unsheathed, it will cut off people's limbs and hurt people's lives in serious cases. He didn't want to kill too much, so he didn't accept the knife. However, this trip keeps encountering martial arts masters, and if there are no weapons around them, it is indeed extremely tricky. And last night, I found that the killer of the Yanagi clan was near Zuo, and there was no sword in his hand, so it was extremely difficult to deal with these elusive and strange Fuso samurai. How can I think of a way to find a knife to use? Peerless Tang Gate fo

Li Qiufeng secretly regretted in his heart, if he didn't promise to stay on the ship in front of Murong Qiushui and Zhang Yong last night, he would be able to find a blacksmith shop in the city and build a good steel knife to use. I only hate myself for being cocooned, but now it's too late to regret it.

Li Qiufeng stayed at the stern of the boat for a long time before returning to the cabin to rest. Hearing the slight moaning sound coming from the cabin of the shopkeeper next to him, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but think of the five killers of the Yanagi clan who suddenly appeared last night. Looking at the appearance of these five people, it doesn't seem like they came here to chase and kill themselves, but they happened to meet Shopkeeper Yin and others, these people were greedy and robbed Shopkeeper Yin's family heirloom treasures. Liu Sheng Zongyan is bent on seizing the Ming Dynasty, and has been working hard in the Central Plains all these years. But what did these Fuso warriors under him do when they went to such poor and remote places as Dongliao County outside the Guanwai?

Li Qiufeng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered that Liu Feiyan had told him that Liu Sheng Zongyan participated in the imperial court party struggle in Fusang, but was defeated by his opponent and had to escape from Fusang with his clansmen. At that time, the Yanagi clan traveled all the way north, landing from Liaodong, and finally entering the Central Plains. Dongliao County is an important town in eastern Liaoning, and the Liusheng clan entered the Ming Dynasty, perhaps landing here.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng hurriedly walked out of the cabin and went all the way to the deck. When he saw the two boatmen standing at the bow of the boat chatting, he immediately walked up to them and said, "The two eldest brothers are invited." There's something I want to ask you about next, but I wonder if you can teach you?"

A boatman laughed and said, "Childe is polite in what he said. If there is something to say, how can it be said that it is not to teach?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The two eldest brothers have been sailing on the sea with Fifth Brother Qin for many years, do you know if they will land from Dongliao County from Fusang to Liaodong?"

The two boatmen were stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads almost at the same time. The boatman who spoke earlier scratched his head and said: "This is also the first time we have come to Dongliao County, where do we know if we will land here from Fusang to Liaodong? However, the imperial court has a very strict sea ban, and only Ningbo can go to sea to Fusang and other overseas countries. Envoys from overseas countries to the Ming Dynasty could only go ashore from Ningbo. I see that the water in this pier is not deep, and it is quite reluctant to moor our ship. If there are big ships from overseas, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the wharf. ”

Li Qiufeng was slightly disappointed when he heard the boatman say this, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Thank you two big brothers for your advice." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and walk back to the cabin, when he inadvertently glanced at the dock, only to see a hundred and ten steps away, Zhang Shi, Hu Shopkeeper, and Qin Lao Wu were running over in a panic. Li Qiufeng was stunned and took a few more steps towards the bow of the boat. Zhang Shi had already seen him from a distance, and waved to him again and again as he ran.

Li Qiufeng saw that the gauze hat on Zhang Shi's head had long since disappeared, and the clothes on his body were also crooked. Looking behind him again, I saw that the sleeve of the left arm of the shopkeeper Hu was missing half a section, and when he ran, he was barefoot. Qin Lao Wu walked behind the two of them, and his clothes were quite neat. It's just that he kept looking back as he walked, as if he was worried that someone would chase him.

Seeing the three of them like this, Li Qiufeng knew that things had changed, so he hurriedly turned his head and said to the two boatmen: "Fifth Brother Qin, they are in trouble, hurry up and set up the boat board and take them to the boat!"
