Chapter 657: Ready to Go
The meal was eaten from the west of the sun until nightfall, Ouyang Fei took out a candle from the system package and lit it, and the inn immediately became bright.
Candles were a rare thing in that era, and only the rich and noble could afford to use them, and Aunt Li usually didn't light the oil lamp after dark, where could she afford to light a candle so tall?
At this time, Ouyang Fei ordered more than a dozen at once, and secretly complained in his heart that Ouyang Fei was a loser, but people have money, and they pay the bills with gold when they live in a store, and they can't afford to provoke them, and if you have money, you can be willful!
Yes, Aunt Li actually summed up the law of rich willfulness based on this.
Although Ling'er didn't drink too much wine, she only drank a few glasses, and her beautiful face also had a bit of intoxicating flush.
Ou Jingyan sent an invitation to Ling'er to sleep with her, Ling'er did not refuse, Ouyang Fei and others cast an appreciative look at Ou Jingyan.
Ling'er had just experienced the tragic death of her grandmother, the pain of her relatives on Xianling Island being killed, and Xiaoyao didn't remember her at all because she was caught in the Forget Worry Gu, she would definitely not sleep well when she slept alone at night, so Ou Jingyan's proposal could be described as very considerate.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after everyone got up, Xiaoyao took Ouyang Fei and Zhang Chengkun to the boat, ready to inquire about the travel date, and they should be ready to leave.
However, in the always lively boat line, there were only a few sporadic people sorting things, and after asking, I learned that almost all the fishermen and crew, including Boss Fang himself, had gone to the port.
Xiaoyao and busy with the two of them rushed to the port, today is cloudless, calm and calm, sure enough, everyone is planning to take advantage of this day to go to sea, the port is full of people, everywhere is the shouting of the crew, the landing of goods, everyone is busy.
Xiaoyao asked a few people, and was led to the cabin of a big ship, only to see Boss Fang holding a booklet in his hand, counting the goods, seeing the arrival of the three Xiaoyao, he said with a smile: "Xiao Li, how did you think of coming to the ship today?
Xiaoyao introduced: "These two are my friends, Ouyang Fei and Zhang Chengkun, we have something to trouble you." ”
Ouyang Fei and Zhang Chengkun hugged each other's boss and saluted, Boss Fang was busy returning the salute, he saw that the two of them were not like ordinary people, and the big knife in Zhang Chengkun's hand looked extremely domineering, although he was a friend of Xiaoyao, a little gangster, he didn't dare to underestimate it at all.
"Please wait a moment, I'll count it soon. ”
Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Fang, you are busy first." ”
The three of them stood in an unobstructed place and waited quietly, and after Boss Fang counted the goods, he beckoned to let Xiaoyao come over, and said, "I heard Zhang Laosi say that Xianling Island ...... It's kind of weird, what the hell is going on?"
Just now, Xiaoyao stood aside, and thought about the whole thing carefully, some things were inconvenient to talk to Boss Fang too carefully, and he looked around sneakily at the moment, and then said softly: "Boss Fang, have you seen the Miao people in the town in the past two days?"
"Miao people?" Boss Fang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it, what's wrong?"
Those Miao people really don't go out much, basically only go out at night, and there are few people in the town who have seen them.
Xiaoyao told the plot that had been adapted by himself, and when he heard Boss Fang, he secretly said, "You mean...... Those Miao people kill people and kidnap people?"
Xiaoyao nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, that Ling'er girl is the victim, now she lives in my inn, I want to take her to Miaojiang to find relatives, Brother Ouyang and Brother Zhang are also going to Miaojiang to do business, so ......"
Boss Fang frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment: "I know, but I'm afraid this won't work." ”
"We won't take your boat in vain......"
"You kid, I didn't mean this, a ship doesn't miss a few of you. Boss Fang sighed: "The key is that I have stopped going to Nanzhao in the past few years. ”
"Huh?" Xiaoyao looked at Boss Fang in surprise, and said puzzledly: "Didn't you always do business with Miao people in the Miao Xinjiang area before?"
Boss Fang said helplessly: "A few years ago, I heard about the civil strife in Miaojiang, and the news that the Black Miao warriors killed Han businessmen was rumored, and there was originally Bai Miao who could trade with us, but in recent years, there has been a drought, and the border of Dali governed by the Bai Miao people has begun to be unpeaceful." ”
Xiaoyao was a little surprised, "Kill the Han people? Could it be that the Miao people have a grudge against the Han people?"
Boss Fang shook his head and said: "That's not what I said, the Miao people only interact with a small number of Han people, even if they have a feud, they will not kill the Han people when they see them, if the people kill each other, this is often the meaning of the people in power." ”
"How can a person in power be so foolish that he should make his people enemies with other peoples?"
Boss Fang smiled: "I don't understand this, if you see the witch king of Nanzhao, you can help me ask, let's do business with them and bring good things to them, what's wrong with this? Why kill the Han people when you see them?"
"Can the Han people be killed? Even if you kill a few hundred, you can destroy the Han and become kings? Ah! By the way, you are also a Han Chinese, and it is very dangerous to go to Miaojiang. ”
Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, my two friends are strong in martial arts, enough to protect themselves." ”
Boss Fang looked at Ouyang Fei and Zhang Chengkun, nodded and said, "Okay! My ship is only going to Suzhou now, and then you will have to figure out your own way in the future." ”
Looking at Ouyang Fei, Ouyang Fei smiled bitterly: "Now it's the only way to go." ”
Xiaoyao nodded helplessly: "Then when will you leave?"
"I'm about to leave, I can wait for you for a while, you hurry back and prepare, don't miss the time to sail, it's unlucky." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "Okay, I know." ”
The three of them hurried back to the inn and told everyone about it, Aunt Li hurriedly prepared things for Xiaoyao, she quickly put forward a long baggage, and everyone gathered around, "This is what I prepared for you last night, you can leave with it." ”
"What is it?" Xiaoyao opened the baggage to check, only to see that in addition to some clothes, there were two old handwritten volumes, a slightly rusty iron sword, and then some scattered silver taels, including the gold ingots used by Ouyang Fei to pay the account yesterday.
Everyone was moved, Ouyang Fei took out a piece of gold again and handed it to Aunt Li, and said, "Auntie, I have already paid for yesterday's room and food and wine, and I haven't paid for breakfast today!
Seeing this, Aunt Li hurriedly excused herself and said, "Don't, no, the gold you gave yesterday is more than enough, it's enough to eat here for a year, how can I still charge you money!"
Xiaoyao watched this scene and knew that it was Ouyang Fei who was righteous, and he was grateful to him in his heart.
