Zhou Jianlai wanted to spend money to hire a boat, but the boats on the river were all full. It was not easy to find an empty boat or even a guest room.
However, this is also because ship owners and stores keep a wide berth on them.
Letting them get on the boat is equivalent to being at odds with the Shen family. Didn't you see that the Shen family has been watching? No one would risk their lives just to earn money from Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai asked several large ships one after another for several guest rooms, but was turned away on the grounds that they were all full.
Most of the people on both sides of the river focused their attention on Zhou Jianlai and Hei Yuan, wondering which family would dare to invite them on board the boat without fear of the Shen family.
At this time, a small boat came down from the upper reaches and sailed towards Zhou Jianlai and the others.
This is a lonely boat with no sails, no dock, and even no oars for rowing.
There was only one person standing on the boat, wearing a white Confucian shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, and wearing a small crown on his head, dressed as a scholar.
But just by looking at it, you can tell that she is a woman disguised as a man, not because of her white and tender skin, nor because of her flaming lipstick, nor because of her slim waist, but because her breasts are really too big.
Big and eye-catching.
Make a man reluctant to move away after just one look.
The boat moved automatically without oars under her feet. Under the gazes of the martial arts people on both sides of the river, the boat sailed straight towards Hei Yuan and Zhou Jianlai, and finally stopped in front of them.
"Look, it's Miss Dong."
"What does she mean? Aren't you afraid that the Shen family will cause trouble for them?"
"Jiuzhou Auction House is not afraid of the Shen family."
The men on both sides of the river recognized the woman on the boat at a glance, and when they saw her stopping in front of Zhou Jianlai, they immediately started talking about her.
"Miss Dong, I have admired you for a long time. Can you marry me?"
Suddenly, a handsome young man with a tall figure ran out of a large boat on the east river. He was not afraid of being laughed at and actually expressed his love to Miss Dong in public.
Miss Dong turned her head, smiled back at him, and said apologetically: "Master Luo, I'm sorry, the slave family only likes beautiful women, so I can't accept your love."
As soon as this statement came out, many martial arts people who didn't understand Ms. Dong's special hobbies couldn't help but be shocked.
"Oh, God!"
"What a waste of nature, what a waste of nature!"
When the young master heard this, he felt as if he was struck by five thunders. He held his head and howled in pain.
The cry of "wasting natural resources violently" won the approval of men on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Then he took a deep look at Miss Dong's chest, turned around and ran towards the ship building, shouting as he ran: "Xiao Cui, Xiao Hong, come quickly, my dear sir, my heart is hurt, and I urgently need your help to heal it."
"
Miss Dong smiled sweetly and was not angry. She turned back to look at Zhou Jianlai and Hei Yuan. She closed the folding fan in her hand, cupped her fists and saluted, and said: "Miss Dong, the person in charge of the Nujia Jiuzhou Auction House, is fortunate enough to have met the Great Ape King, Mr. Zhou.
and two noble ladies who are as beautiful as flowers."
Du Keyi and Zhang Xiaobing felt a chill in their hearts as her eyes swept across their bodies, and goosebumps slowly appeared.
Zhou Jian returned the favor and asked, "Is there something wrong, Your Excellency?"
Miss Dong replied: "The boat of Jiuzhou Auction House is parked not far ahead. The Nu family sincerely invites four distinguished friends to board the boat as guests. I sincerely ask you to give me a little reward."
"Why?"
"There are many boats on both sides of the river, but not many dare to invite four of you to board the boat, and the Nu family is one of them."
"Your Excellency, you underestimate Zhou too much."
"Don't dare."
"It's just a ship. Just grab one. I'm a big bandit."
"..." Miss Dong couldn't help being stunned when she heard this. After being reminded by Zhou Jianlai, she remembered that Zhou Jianlai did have such an identity, the leader of half of the big bandits.
But in broad daylight, in front of countless martial arts people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, is it a bit too arrogant to do this banditry?
"Is there anything else, sir?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"Miss Dong, if people don't appreciate your kindness, why do you need to be hot-tempered but cold-hearted?" A man on the Shen family's boat sneered.
Miss Dong looked back at the man and replied: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Hmph, you clearly know that they are the enemies of my Shen family, but you still come out to chat with them. Are you trying to make enemies of my Shen family?" The man from the Shen family asked with a cold face.
"Jiuzhou Auction House has always only been engaged in business, not in camps. Anyone who has good things to sell is a friend of Jiuzhou Auction House. Are you questioning the rules passed down by our Jiuzhou Auction House for thousands of years?"
The man from the Shen family stiffened and replied in a low voice, "I wouldn't dare."
"Jiuzhou Auction House doesn't like to cause trouble, but it is never afraid of trouble. We are willing to have everlasting friendship with all of you." Miss Dong raised her fists in all directions and saluted.
"Easy to say, easy to say." All the martial arts people responded with fists in their hands.
The man from the Shen family looked unhappy, but he couldn't say anything else because it would be over.
Shen Haotian in the ship building never said anything because he did not want to provoke Jiuzhou Auction House.
But what the Shen family man said was what he agreed to, and was meant to remind Jiuzhou Auction House not to do anything that challenges the Shen family's bottom line. The Shen family is not someone to be trifled with.
"Boatman, come out!"
Zhou Jianlai ignored the conversation between Miss Dong and the Shen family, but walked to the front of a medium-sized boat and shouted into the cabin.
The sound was so loud that it shook the whole ship.
"I'm coming."
The boatman responded and ran out of the cabin with a frightened expression and cold sweat on his head.
"May I ask what your orders are?"
The boatman stopped at a distance, hunched his neck and asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid that Zhou Jianlai would chop off his head with his sword.
"The shipowner likes you."
"Get out of here!"
Zhou Jianlai yelled in a ferocious voice, and with just the word "go" out of his mouth, two bright yellow gold ingots landed in front of the boatman with a clanking sound.
The boatman looked at the two ingots of gold ingots that fell in front of him, and his eyes suddenly gleamed. However, he did not dare to bend down to pick them up. Instead, he muttered: "There are many elders on the boat. I don't dare to neglect them."
Zhou Jianlai glared angrily and shouted: "Do you want to die?"
Plop!
The boatman jumped out of the boat. Before jumping, he picked up the two gold ingots and put them into his arms.
As he swam to the shore, he shouted loudly: "Uncle on the boat, it's not that I don't want to serve you. It's really that Uncle Zhou is too fierce. He wants to kill someone."
This guy has good water skills and can swim dozens of steps in the blink of an eye.
"Zhou Jianlai, don't go too far!"
"Zhou Jianlai, what do you want to do?"
"We are not afraid of you!"
All the martial arts people living in the boat came out and yelled at Zhou Jianlai.
"roll!"
Zhou Jianlai raised his hand and swiped his sword finger, driving all the people out of the boat and throwing them into the river.
"Ha ha…"
Seeing the embarrassment of a group of people falling into the water, he not only did not feel sorry, but instead smiled very happily and arrogantly.
Then he stood on the bow of the ship and shouted: "This ship belongs to me. Anyone who breaks in without my permission will be killed without mercy!"
"It's really not a fucking thing!"
The martial arts people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait all yelled and cursed in their hearts.
Miss Dong was speechless and a little embarrassed when she saw Zhou Jianlai actually snatching a boat in broad daylight, because it would be hard for her to invite Zhou Jianlai and a few people to board her Jiuzhou Auction House boat.
"I haven't seen you for several years, but my old friend's demeanor remains the same."
Walking across the water from the lower reaches of the river, a stern man wearing a bright red shirt and holding a sword in his arms came forward.
