Chapter 262: Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years

Gu Zhian looked at the respectful-looking Manager Li in front of him, and saw that he was in his early forties, wearing a long thin cotton coat and a child's crown. He seemed to be dressed like a scholar, but his walking posture looked like someone who practiced martial arts all year round.

, a face with a smile, but eyes full of inquiry, and their eyes would fall on the things they brought from time to time.

Lou Yu smiled faintly, nodded towards Manager Li, and said, "I'm going to Jiangnan on business. This is Miss Gu, the person in charge of this trip."

Manager Li looked surprised and immediately bowed to Gu Zhian, "Oh my, you are really a woman! Forgive Li, but I don't know that Miss Gu is from the Gu family in Hedong?"

Gu Zhian was very unhappy with Manager Li's blatant prying behavior, but when he thought about being on the same boat with him for three days, he temporarily suppressed his anger and smiled slightly, "No, I'm just an unknown person. It's normal for Mr. Li not to recognize me.

There are many of us, and we are going to Qianzhou. Mr. Li will take care of us on the way."

Manager Li quickly waved his hand, "It doesn't matter what happens, there are advantages to having more people. At least when we encounter water bandits, we will be more confident with more people."

Gu Zhian raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "That's right!"

After greetings were exchanged, Manager Li asked someone to take Gu Zhian and others to the cabin. Because there were so many of them, except for Gu Zhian and Hongying Langqiao, who slept in a cabin, the rest were only seven or eight or a dozen people crowded into one cabin.

Cabin, except for the people who take turns to be on duty, otherwise it would be impossible to live in it.

It was Lou Yu who found the boat, and Gu Zhian was not involved. When he saw Manager Li at this time, he always felt that something was wrong, so he called Lou Yu aside and asked carefully: "Are you an old acquaintance with Manager Li?"

Lou Yu shook his head, "I can't call him an old acquaintance. I just met him once in Beijing. He is a close confidant of Marquis Liyang. Many of Marquis Liyang's properties are entrusted to him. He is a very capable person in Marquis Liyang's hands. We met once

I met him once at a banquet."

"Then how did you meet him at this pier?" Gu Zhian asked.

Lou Yu recalled, "I arrived at the pier at noon. At that time, he was directing his men to carry goods onto the ship. I didn't see him at first. When I asked other boatmen, he took the initiative to find me and talked to me.

After saying hello, I casually asked him about his destination, and he said he was going to Jiangnan to ship goods."

Gu Zhian thought for a while and was a little confused, "Does the boatman need to be personally watched by the manager when moving the cargo? I think he has many capable people."

Lou Yu also came back to his senses at this time, frowned and asked: "You mean, Manager Li is waiting for me on purpose?"

Gu Zhian said: "There is such a possibility. When we go out, we must be careful to sail the ten thousand year ship."

Lou Yushen thought so, and immediately secretly ordered the brothers to be alert. At this time, it was too late to change to another ship. It would be delayed for at least a day, or even longer. It is not every day that you encounter a ship with only half the cargo.

The large merchant ships are destined for Jiangnan. It is even more impossible to charter a ship by yourself. You have to book it at least seven days in advance. Even if you take out the emperor's imperial edict, you can't find an empty ship that can be used immediately at the dock.

.

So they decided to wait and see what happens. Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come and earth will cover it up.

Outside a cabin at the end of the cabin, Manager Li stood outside the cabin and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then he immediately bent down and got in.

At this time, two people were already sitting in the cabin. When they saw Manager Li coming in, they immediately waved to him, "Are you all coming up?"

Manager Li sat down behind a small square table, nodded slightly, but frowned, "Everyone is on board."

"How many people are there in total?" asked the round-faced man sitting opposite Manager Li.

Manager Li said: "Including Lou Yu, it's one hundred and six."

The thin man with the long face took a breath when he heard this, "So many?"

The round-faced man waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What if there are more people? This is the Dayang River. On the water, no matter how many people there are, can they still beat us?"
