Chapter 37 Royal Escort Agency
The person coming was Huang Jin, the old doctor You Fang who was full of yummy.
"Good disciple, I haven't seen each other this year, so it's always good?" Huang Jin was wearing light armor, and with two followers behind him, he said to Zhao Chuan with a smile.
"How could there be a year, at most ten months." Zhao Chuan said barely, not thinking about meeting this gangster who has fake medical skills.
"Hahaha, since I broke up last time, I have lived like a year and want to be a disciple!" Huang Jin's sour words changed his past and said, "I'm going to be a slick man."
I'm good, when did this Huang liar go to the army and abandon the doctor and join the army? Zhao Chuan was a little puzzled when he saw Huang Jin's armor.
Huang Jin waved his hand to let the waiter leave. Seeing Zhao Chuan's puzzled look, he immediately explained proudly that he was now the military medical officer on the luxury passenger ship.
Following the army? Zhao Chuan was even more surprised, "Isn't this a passenger ship? Which army are you following?"
Huang Jin smiled and said that this was the case. Because the last time the river ship suffered huge losses, not only did the dead and the ship ruin it, but his reputation was also greatly affected. This is the official shipping company, how could it be so humiliated? So the official in charge specially allocated sergeants to board the ship guards. Seeing the dock's announcement that he would hire a military doctor on board, he applied for it and was fortunate to be selected.
Huang Jin was very proud and patted the light armor on his body and said that he was a medical officer now, and he was as strong as a civilian. He also had a few small followers, who were much better than wandering around as a doctor in the You Fang!
Huang Jin also said that after several months of his performance, he is now not only a military doctor on the ship, but also a military advisor, documentary and accountant on the ship. This luxury passenger ship can be rated as an advanced service flight every quarter, and is the safest and most reliable flight with the best efficiency...
Huang Jin became happier the more he spoke, and pulled Zhao Chuan to the deck, "Look, there is one main gun on the front and rear decks, three secondary guns on the left and right, and two small guns on the top deck. There are ten guns in total, which are invincible on the inland river. Even if the navy's gunship comes, you have to weigh your firepower!"
Zhao Chuan said it would cost a lot of money.
Huang Jin said that's not right. After the ship was robbed and broken last time, it was taken to Jiangnan Shipyard for three months. The entire ship's shell was covered with a layer of iron, and he was no longer afraid of fire attacks. The power was added with two blade paddles. Even the communication was thought of, and a new carrier pigeon was added and a post office was set up.
Good guy, the current luxury passenger ship functions have been upgraded, not only passenger ships, but also cruise ships and mail ships.
"How much money will it cost?" Zhao Chuan looked around and exclaimed.
"Yes, yes, but the wool comes from the sheep! Good cabin tickets have increased money." Huang Jin said that it doesn't matter how much a rich man takes a boat, he only cares about safety, comfort and convenience.
Think about it, the same is true.
"Do you know how much money you need for first class cabin?" Huang Jin asked.
"I don't know, the first class cabin was so scared that I retreated. How could I ask about the first class cabin again?" Zhao Chuan said.
"Four hundred and eighty taels of silver!" Huang Jin said.
"It's so expensive, which sucker will live?" Zhao Chuan curled his lips.
Huang Jin said you don’t understand, and now you are rushing to stay.
"Do you know? Another royal suite has been added on the third floor of the boat, only one. The ticket price is 1,000 taels!" Huang Jin stretched out a finger and shook it.
"Royal Suite? Specially for traveling emperors to live in?"
"As long as you have money, anyone can live?" Huang Jin smiled.
"Is anyone living?" Zhao Chuan felt that the ship was getting weirder and weirder. I wonder who gave these bad ideas.
"Yes, I have!"
"Who is living in the Royal Suite now?" Zhao Chuan felt curious.
"Prince of the Hou!" Huang Jin lowered his voice.
"Which prince?"
Seeing Zhao Chuan's face full of confusion, Huang Jin touched Zhao Chuan's ear again, "Who else can it be? There is only one prince in the world, the princess Tong Wen Chengtong who lives in Jiangzhou City!"
Zhao Chuan was stunned. He was the least concerned about people and affairs in the officialdom. For so long, he only knew that there was a marquis in Jiangzhou. He had also cured his sedan chairwoman's leg injury on the mountain road of Lingyin Mountain, and there was no intersection since then. Even so, he never really said a word from the other side.
"It turns out that the Marquis's name is Tong Wencheng." Zhao Chuan said to himself, "Didn't he carry a sedan chair in eight? Why did he come to take a boat?"
Originally, this time I wanted to go to Jiangzhou City to find my master Xiaoyaozi, and go to nearby Nanfeng County to find trouble for those yamen runners and county magistrates. Now it’s a waste of trouble. The county magistrate’s immediate boss is here, and his thoughts are disgusting. Zhao Chuan will not avenge him if he has any grudges.
"Oh, oh, it's him..." Zhao Chuan thought, his eyes were misty on the river, and he still said to himself.
Seeing Zhao Chuan standing on the deck, she didn't know what she was thinking. Huang Jin was also a little stunned. After thinking about it, he wanted to ask if Zhao Chuan knew Master Hou.
"Of course...of course..." Zhao Chuan nodded, looking intoxicated.
Zhao Chuan's appearance made Huang Jin faint, but he knew that Zhao Chuan was not sick. He still knew some of Zhao Chuan. This kid has been a god of good fortune since he appeared by his side.
I was beaten and thrown into the wilderness. If Zhao Chuan hadn't passed by and rescued him, he would have died. Later, I followed him to practice medicine all the way, in Qishan Town, on a passenger ship to Jiangzhou, and in contact with the Han family... It was not because of Zhao Chuan that he gained fame and fortune.
Just say this time, if I hadn't entrusted myself to be a doctor in the Han family, I would have used myself to serve as a medical officer on the ship. The Han family has a great career and has developed into several nearby counties in recent years.
Well, looking at Zhao Chuan's expression, the Marquis might be able to hand over it himself. By then, he would not be a military medical officer on the passenger ship. Maybe he would be a medical officer in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis's men would have 200,000 elite soldiers...
Huang Jin was stunned for a long time, and finally came to his senses. He hurriedly asked Zhao Chuan if he had been upgraded? He went to the first-class cabin to find him and then reminisce about the past, and said that the rooms were soundproof and that it was not very convenient to speak here.
"Rise! Raise. Why don't you go? I don't know how to enjoy it." Zhao Chuan immediately took Qi Yatou to the new cabin.
Although Qi Yatou has been in the world for more than 700 years, she rarely enters the world, and most of them stay in the wilderness and practice hard. Naturally, she is happy wherever Zhao Chuan goes. In her own words, her 100 years is only equivalent to two years of social experience in humans. So she said that her 700 years can only be equivalent to the fifteenth year of humans.
The first-class cabin is a three-bedroom and one living room with windows, on the third floor of the top of the passenger ship. The first-class cabin is on the second floor, and is a two-bedroom and one living room with windows.
Shortly after moving into the first-class cabin, Huang Jin came to visit.
Huang Jin pointed at Qi Yatou and said where did he find the follower?
Zhao Chuan said that like you, they were all saved and picked up on the road.
Huang Jin said that I am your master, how could I be like her? Zhao Chuan said that I didn’t recognize you, you insisted on imposing me as an apprentice.
Huang Jin said do you know the Marquis? Zhao Chuan said he should have seen me, and I have seen him, but he has never communicated in person, because he is the Marquis, not at the same level, so we don’t know his background.
Huang Jin said I know a little, listen to me.
Huang Jin began to tell the story of the Marquis's name Tong Wencheng. Twenty years ago, he was a bandit leader of the King of Champa. He opened an escort agency in many cities as a cover, called Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and colluded with officials in many places, which was well-known far and wide.
One day, someone suddenly came to ask for a trip to take the escort, but the person who was protecting was the young emperor who fled in the underworld.
In order to show his pomp and safety, the emperor often had a great momentum, with officials coming from the front and behind him, but when the little emperor fled here, he was like a dog with a broken family, which was terrible.
Because the Hu people in the north raided into the capital, a group of defenders fled here with the newly ascended young emperors, defending the hunted dead and the wounded. The prince was about to die. At this time, someone suggested handing over the prince to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency for protection.
According to common sense, the emperor's personal safety should be protected by the Royal Guards, but the Imperial Guards had long been beaten to pieces. So when they were helpless, they found Zhenyuan Escort Agency for their own lives.
For Zhenyuan Escort Agency, this is a good thing that a pie falls from the sky, and you have to do it even if you don’t have money.
In order to make this trip smooth, Tong Wencheng, the head of the escort agency, recruited all capable personnel from all over the country to participate.
The bandits who protect the emperor's travel safety were actually bandits, which is a rare strange thing in thousands of years.
The little emperor did not bring the imperial guards when he fled south, but with this team of civil bandits protecting him, he fled south all the way, and even went to the South China Sea without any obstacles.
It is said that throughout the dynasties, the imperial guards who defended the emperor could only suppress their subjects in peacetime, and most of them were useless when foreign enemies were in chaos.
The little emperor was chased by the Hu people and fled south. He was in a panic and his life was almost gone, so he could not guarantee food and drink. The officials along the way had already run away. Zhenyuan Escort Agency made great contributions, and used money to eat and material resources.
So when the young emperor returned to power, he not only rewarded Zhenyuan's escort agency, but also made Tong Wen the marquis a marquis and granted the fief of Jiangzhou County.
So at the end of each year, Tongwen Chengdu City routinely travels to the palace, paying tribute and receiving rewards, and passing by the market was very glorious.
Among the people, Zhenyuan Escort Agency is called the "Royal Escort Agency" and Tong Wencheng is called the "Imperial Escort Agency" and has unlimited glory.
After listening to Huang Jin's story, Zhao Chuan's brain crashed into half an incense stick.
No wonder the world is so chaotic, and no officials are responsible for the trouble. The emperor is so cowardly that he escapes. It is a blessing that a group of thieves and bandits will go to the beach to take refuge. What prospects can such a court have?
Zhao Chuan used to hate the government, but now he looks down on him even more.
"The Marquis is not staying in Jiangzhou City. Where did he come back?" Zhao Chuan asked.
Huang Jin said that the Marquis came back from the South China Sea because he wanted to pay tribute, so of course he went to purchase rare treasures.
The hour of Hai has arrived, and the luxury passenger ship set sail on time. Yangshan County is only more than 200 miles away from Jiangzhou City. Although it is a boat ride at night, it will not arrive at dawn.
There are constant ships between Yangshan County Wharf and Jiangzhou City, because there is no wharf in the middle. As soon as the boat sets off, the public area on the second floor becomes lively, and the crew members who are not on duty and the guards accompanying the ship come to play.
Zhao Chuan took Qi Yatou to see the world. She was hiking around in the venue and looking around. But she was not as curious as Cheng Shulan, who saw everything fresh and curious, and she just looked at it for a few moments before leaving.
After walking for a while, the Qi Yatou pulled Zhao Chuan aside and whispered to him that he had discovered a similar type of fox, a cultivation fox.
The seventh girl instructed Zhao Chuan to show it over there. Zhao Chuan saw that it was a gambling game, and a group of people were gathering around a big table to push Paijiu. A thin man had a gloomy face, and there was a pile of silver and silver notes in front of him. Next to him was a charming and charming woman.
"It's that woman!" Qi Yatou whispered.
Isn't this the wife of the escort Jiang Yong? Jiang Yong is the burly man who claimed to be the Zhenyuan Escort Agency of the Beijing City last time on the boat. But today the person around her is no longer Jiang Yong, but another thin man.
"How do you know that she is the same person as you? Why can't I see it? Is this related to my lack of spiritual energy cultivation?" Zhao Chuan asked in a low voice, "I didn't see her before my cultivation was not destroyed?"
"No, I'm using magical powers. There's a black gas on her body." said Qi Yatou, "She must have killed someone just now, and the black gas is full of blood."
"Ah, your kind of people are still sour?" Zhao Chuan was surprised.
"Of course! Some want to take shortcuts."
