Chapter 185 Calm down before eating shit
Shanxi people are more able to endure hardships, and Shanxi merchants are even more famous all over the world. There are more than a dozen merchants like Cui Jinping on this ship, all of whom go to Jiangnan to do business and make the difference by transporting some scarce materials. Although this kind of livelihood is hard, the profits earned are also considerable.
A world-famous business like Datong has made its business to Xiliang and Dongyi, spreading all over the world. In addition to freight, Datong is one of the four major banks designated by the imperial court, with strong strength. This giant cargo ship is forty meters long and more than twenty meters wide, and is also a giant on the Fen River.
The Fen River is a tributary of the Yellow River, and many goods on the Shanxi Road are transported through the Fen River. For example, there are two or three cargo ships on the entire Fen River. In addition to operating its own business, Datong Trading Company will also rent some cargo warehouses to merchants like Meng Jinping in order to make full use of the space of the cargo ship. After all, Datong is a famous ticket number in the world, and its safety is guaranteed. Even if the cost is slightly higher, it can avoid the layers of exploitation by many people in the world and the government, so it is also very popular.
In the Ming Dynasty, shipping was the lowest cost inland transportation, so most travelers like to take a boat. We headed north for three or four days and there was nothing wrong on the way, but Meng Jinping was suspicious and always felt that someone wanted to harm him. Liu Qingfeng said that this was a persecution paranoia and needed to be cured.
Because it is an inland river and many pass through county villages, the scenery along the way is not too boring, the autumn is clear and refreshing, and the mood is refreshing. Especially at night, standing on the deck and listening to the night insects and frogs roaring is not a great pleasure. More importantly, we will arrive in Taiyuan in four or five days, and twenty taels of silver are put into bags, so we are happy to think about it.
When I first entered the capital, I was often hungry and full. When I first started working, I only got one or two taels of silver for a month. I lived a tight life and was worried when I paid the rent. In just two years, I had saved 100 taels of silver, and I could actually hope to buy a small house in the capital. This was something I could not have imagined when I first started my tutor. Perhaps, this is what he said about the Ming Dream when he first met Zhu Runze.
Uh, I'm going to go far. Liu Qingfeng was practicing shui (stimulating) in the cabin. The night went, I became more and more awake. I stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Pingyao City Wall not far away, feeling quite moved.
There are night insects chirping, and I feel the cry of the worms in autumn, release my spiritual consciousness, but feel the things around me. Now I have almost the second and third grades of strength, and have comprehended the handprint of the Great Sun Tathagata. After entering the Manaya consciousness realm, when I gather my skills, unless I encounter a master's voice transmission, I can easily hear the sound within a radius of 100 meters.
When I heard someone whispering in the front cabin, I felt suspicious and released my spiritual sense. However, it was the voice of Datong Business Bureau and others: I have been walking on this waterway for three or four years. The heroes on the road have a lot of filial piety during the New Year Festival. Liu Boxiong from Qi County is even a brother who hit the ground. Lao Qi, where did you hear this letter?
When the ship was stopped today, Meng Jinping, the owner of Jiawu Cang, told me privately that the Demon Cult colluded with Sun Wei of the Yellow River Gang and wanted to rob the ship downstream. I thought it was of great importance, so I came to report to the boss.
This Yellow River Gang is not the Yellow River Gang. The Yellow River has thousands of miles away, and there are no less than seven or eight people called the Yellow River Gang along the way. Of course, they all rely on water to make a living. Anyway, there is no registered trademark, and there is no business dealings, so everyone has been in peace.
As Meng Jinping said, Boss Liao had colluded with the Demon Cult and was preparing to embezzle the merchant's goods, and the old seven who informed him would probably be kept in the dark.
Lao Liao said: This matter is not accurate. I think Meng Jinping has a problem. The two distant relatives he brought to the cargo ship two days ago were obviously a martial arts boy, and his martial arts skills were probably not low. I will find an opportunity to test it tomorrow. By the way, don’t mention this matter to anyone, so as not to be distracted.
On the second day, Liu Qingfeng and I chatted with the bodyguards of several businesses at the bow of the boat. These bodyguards are all personal.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Quality, they are all from the world, and their martial arts are of different levels. Everyone is a freelance career with bodyguards. If you have such a good opportunity to contact your relationship, you may have something useful in the future.
What about your trip? How many taels of silver did the boss give you? Which official and noble man I escorted last time and how much money did I earn? Liu Qingfeng is the best at this point, so he had a lot of fun chatting with them.
There is a man named Song Feilong who boasted that he was invincible in Sandao and has been in the martial arts world for more than ten years. No one has been able to pass by Sandao under his hands so far, and the boss gave him a lot of money this time, so on.
When bragging, you have to brag and praise it to be smooth. The key is that it doesn’t matter if you brag. You can’t even step on others and despise others when you brag. If you are an acquaintance, you may just laugh it off. The problem is that everyone is all from the world and are not very familiar with it. Why do you want me to praise you?
Some people were unhappy: Since Song Sandao is so awesome, he is free, so why not follow everyone here to show off?
Song Feilong's face was flushed when he was choking, and he raised the hilt of the knife: Before he was thirty years old, he visited famous masters everywhere, and had never lost a single move or a half-stage. Now he is a fourth- and fifth-grade master. If anyone really thinks that I am full of words, why not stand up and discuss with me?
This guy is only above the sixth grade, and the fifth grade level is probably not stable enough, but I won’t say it out loud, standing aside and smiling without saying anything. However, the other bodyguards are only at the sixth grade and seventh grade. If the martial arts skills really reach the fourth grade, like the master of the boss, although they are not famous all over the world, they can also make a name for themselves in the local world. At the very least, they can be the chief escort of an escort agency or the helm leader in some famous sects.
Song Feilong said this, but he was aimless. He was sure that the martial arts skills of these bodyguards were not as good as his, so he dared to speak out loud. As for Liu Qingfeng and I, I learned Taoist mental methods, and the authentic Buddhist teachings he learned naturally would not let him see the depth of martial arts.
A bodyguard said: We are naturally not opponents of Daxia Song, but ten days later, the Li family held a demon-killing meeting in Longxing Castle. Daxia Song might as well show his power and kill dozens of demon demons of the Demon Sect?
Song Feilong nodded, that was natural. Originally, I was going to make a name for myself at the Demon-killing Conference. If there wasn't a tigress at home in the first half of the year, I would have gone to Murong Villa to show off my power.
Liu Qingfeng asked, "I don't know which tiger?"
Song Feilong was beaten to death by a monk named Wu Erlang.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Song Feilong thought I was making fun of him, and pointed at me with a knife, you, come out!
I smiled and took a step forward, wondering what advice did the great hero Song Sandao have?
I think your martial arts look good? Why, do you have any objections to me?
I am a person with a relatively tall figure and I learned Taoist mental methods. I mainly practice internal strength and am not full of muscles like others.
I said that Song Daxia’s martial arts are superb, and we are not too late to worship him, so how dare we have an objection?
I don’t know you’re not afraid. I recently learned three new sword techniques. If you can take the next one, I will give you a tael of silver.
I said this seriously? Liu Qingfeng quickly interrupted, "Why should I try it?"
Song Feilong said, then you come first. But the sword has no eyes, if you accidentally hurt you...
Liu Qingfeng swears: I will never blame you!
The two of them were posing, but Song Feilong was not in a hurry to attack. He stood on the deck, probably because he thought there were too few spectators. After the surrounding businesses and enthusiasts gathered together, he cleared his throat and said seriously: I, Song Sandao, came to Uniqlo in Jiangnan. Since his debut, I have fought more than 80 times, and have never lost.
Liu Qingfeng wondered, what kind of sect is Uniqlo? Why haven't I heard of it? I said a secret that the martial arts world in Jiangnan is rich in.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I have heard of all the sects, but if I don’t understand, I won’t understand.
Song Feilong was talking a lot. Liu Qingfeng was impatient when he heard this and pointed at him, "Are you finished?" Isn't it a trick to get one or two silver coins?"
Song Feilong was choked and drew his sword, saying, "The first move was to draw a sword to cut off the water. I realized it under the Lushan Waterfall. I divided it into eleven moves. The second move was to fall like a mountain, and I realized it from the top of Huangshan Mountain. The third move...
Liu Qingfeng interrupted: How can you stop talking nonsense?
I went up and kicked him, and asked Daxia Song to finish saying, "Do you want a tael of silver?"
After a while, Song Feilong finished speaking, he said loudly, please give me advice!
I said wait, each person will take out three taels of silver and put it next to him, so as not to lose in a while and refuse to admit his account!
Song Feilong shouted loudly and drew his sword to cut off the water! He had the strength of fifth and sixth grades, but Liu Qingfeng was standing there underestimated the enemy, but was startled by his loud shout. However, Song Feilong's sword was whirlwind and slashed towards Liu Qingfeng in the waist. Liu Qingfeng cursed, scaring me to death. He used his light skills, dodged repeatedly, and barely avoided a move.
One tael of silver! Liu Qingfeng shouted.
Song Feilong slowly spoke the second move before he could finish his move, and Jun Lin was like a mountain falling. After that, his momentum soared, and he used his body to carry the sword intent and smashed towards Liu Qingfeng like a mountain collapse. I secretly praised in my heart, but this move also had the strength of a fifth-grade master.
Liu Qingfeng was holding the big in front of him without weapons, so he retreated one after another. However, the deck itself was limited and he couldn't stand it. He curled up and rolled behind Song Feilong like a loach, and avoided the second move.
Two taels of silver! Liu Qingfeng shouted.
Song Feilong suddenly stood still and said that the third move was too murderous. I was afraid that I would not be able to hold it back and hurt you, so I gave up. Liu Qingfeng said it was okay, bring two taels of silver. Song Feilong was furious. Everyone was from the martial arts world. I took care of your face and spared your life. Why did you still ask me for money?
Liu Qingfeng said no wonder you don’t need the third knife to kill someone. If you can’t beat the second knife, you won’t beat it. I admire you! Everyone booed, and Song Feilong’s face turned red and white. He threw two taels of silver and went straight back to the cabin.
Liu Qingfeng said casually, it is indeed very good to show off, but it is easy to shine your waist if you can't hit the face.
Liu Qingfeng and I were one tael of liang each, and did nothing in the morning, and earned two taels of silver in vain. We couldn't help but feel good. Liu Qingfeng was thinking that he would wait to come to Qi County and find a decent restaurant to have a big meal.
Boss Liao brought a few brothers over. I think the two brothers have good martial arts skills and should not be unknown people. Liao has been in the martial arts world in Shanxi for many years and has known many brothers. The two looked very handsome and didn't have Shanxi people's accents, so why did they have a relative with Boss Meng?
I bowed and smiled: Boss Liao is polite. I am Huang Shiren. This is my cousin Hu Hansan. He was originally from the capital. Later, something happened at home, and my cousins and my cousins came to join Boss Meng. As for martial arts, I understand a little bit, but Boss Liao laughed.
One person said coldly, I heard that there were two thieves on Taihang Mountains, and they did everything they could tolerate. A few days ago, they were chased by officers and soldiers and fled to Shanxi. I saw that you two were scathing and didn't look like good people.
I glanced at the man with a ferocious face and a big ear. It looked strange. I thought to myself that I won’t say anything about Liu Qingfeng. At least I am still pretty and have nothing to do with the thief-eyed eyes. But I said, "I must have recognized the wrong person."
Liu Qingfeng took out a box of ointment and handed it to him, "The hero's eyebrows are all gone. Here is the Polygonum multiflorum hair growth cream. Apply a little to cure the medicine."
The man was teased by Liu Qingfeng. He was furious when he heard this. He was about to draw his sword when he was stopped by Boss Liao. The man said angrily, When has my white-browed hero Xu Xiaoliang been so humiliated?
I went up and gave Liu Qingfeng a loud chest and apologized repeatedly: Xu Daxia, my brother hasn't said anything, so calm down first when I come to eat shit.
