Chapter Fourteen Under the Bazaar

After coming out of the weapons shop and walking in the busy city with noisy people and busy traffic, Huang Chen couldn't hold back his doubts and said to Wang Yong: "Brother Wang, that weapons shop has a full range of hot and cold weapons, including cannons, but why can't you see armor?"

Exhibition? Battles at sea are extremely dangerous. If you have armor with you, you will be more sure of saving your life."

"You also know the benefits of armor. How could the Ming Dynasty not know about it? Thieves without armor can only harass coastal villages, but thieves wearing armor are capable of attacking hinterland towns. The threats between the two are as different as heaven and earth." Wang Yong explained the reason.

.In the past, Japanese pirates harassed the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. The officers and soldiers either avoided fighting or collapsed at the first contact. All localities had to train rural soldiers to defend themselves. When the war situation was critical, the imperial court directly sent secret maps of firearms to the countryside, and ordered each locality to cast them on their own to ward off the Japanese pirates.

, so firearms are not considered rare things among the people. But armor is different. Armored soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wear armor during war and turn it in after the war. Anyone who dares to hide the armor secretly will die! Folk craftsmen who dare to make armor privately will die!

"There are squires behind rowing boats. They dare to sell anything, including prohibited nitrates, firearms, artillery, and boats, except armor. Once discovered, they will lose their heads. Others may have room for maneuver, but there is no chance of selling armor.

Even if you don’t discuss it at all, you will definitely die!” Wang Yong finally said: “I once had the same idea as you. I wanted to save money to buy armor for self-defense, but I had no choice but to search all the corners of the market and couldn’t find it. I felt suspicious, so I asked

Some store owners inquired about this information and expected that it was true."

Huang Chen wondered, the Ming Dynasty did not ban firearms, but armor. What is the reason for this? It is really ridiculous.

Wang Yong added: "There are no absolutes in this world. There are people who are willing to go out of their way to make armor privately, but they usually only sell it to a heroic overlord. Even our big bosses can't get a set, and people like you and me can't get it."

Don’t even think about little people.”

"..."

As the red sun hung high in the middle of the sky, the ground seemed to be on fire. The two of them wandered around the market. After a while, they were covered in sweat from the sun. They did not dare to continue shopping and headed towards the place they had agreed with everyone.

Walking straight through half the street, we came to an inn with a stone and wood structure as the main body. It covers a large area and is quite grand. It is a rare masterpiece in the market, and it is also the place agreed upon by everyone. Walk along the way.

Come here, most of the stores Huang Chen sees are selling goods. This is the first time he has encountered an inn business. How much money can he make even if he has food and accommodation? Wang Yong told him that the main source of income for the inn owner is not

They charge guests for food and accommodation, but instead recruit helpers for the big bandits in Dachen Mountain.

When Huang Chen said this, he immediately understood that it was an agency, but they were running a horse business.

After the two entered, they reported their names and were quickly led to a small courtyard by a waiter. Most of the people had gone out to gamble and shop, but a few people had not gone out. In Wang Yong's words, they were recharging their energy.

, waiting for the moment when the brothel and Huazhou open.

Wang Yong had a bloody battle yesterday and suffered countless injuries. If he had not been able to control his body, he would not have traveled a long distance here. In order to become more energetic at night, Wang Yong prepared to take a nap. Before returning to the room, he deliberately teased Huang Chen and said:

"Brother Huang, are you still a young boy? If so, all the expenses tonight will be paid for by my brother."

Watching Wang Yongchang leave with a smile, Huang Chen couldn't laugh or cry. He was actually laughed at by the ancients. Feeling a little hungry, Huang Chen turned back to the front hall, sat down at an empty seat, and called the waiter to order two dishes and one soup, including fish and meat.

After a long time, the food was served. Before he could use his chopsticks to enjoy it, Hu Yin walked into the inn sweating profusely. When he saw him, he ran straight to him and sat down unceremoniously. He asked for a large bowl of rice and ate with him. Huang Chen did not

Seeing this strange thing, the two of them cleared the food on the table like a whirlwind, brewed a pot of tea, and drank it leisurely...

Hu Yin burped lightly, leaned his head forward, and said mysteriously: "Huang Chen, are you and your mute girl happy? That mute girl definitely looks like this in the village..." Hu Yin raised his big head

Thumb, added: "You have a good figure, but it's a pity that you can't speak. If you don't hear the sound of the two people's love, most of the fun will be lost."

Huang Chen frowned, the other person's words made him feel uncomfortable. Seeing that he didn't respond, Hu Yin knew that he didn't want to talk, so he recognized that he was a young girl and changed the topic to which girl in the city was the most beautiful and which family was rich.

The bitch is the most lovely, but then she seems to be feeling unsatisfied. She even talks about the love between men and women directly, and she speaks so vividly and vividly that even the diners at other tables can't help but listen.

In the eyes of others, Hu Yin was outstanding in eloquence and described the details of the bed in brilliant and fascinating ways, but he was not attractive to Huang Chen at all. Not to mention that he had had countless girlfriends in his previous life, but just talking about the online world, what did Hu Yin not want?

It was just a joke. Huang Chen managed to hold back his temper and laughed. Unexpectedly, Hu Yin kept talking for half an hour without stopping. When he couldn't bear it anymore, Hu Yin finally stopped talking and handed over the meal bill when he left.

Done. Huang Chen suddenly realized that he had not been sitting around in vain. He only had two taels of silver in his pocket, and his family was not rich. Every penny he could save was worth it.

Huang Chen went back to his room to take a nap, woke up in the afternoon, and when the heat gradually subsided, he went for a walk in the city. When he returned, Wang Yong happened to wake up, and the two of them chatted to kill time.

After longing and hoping for sunset, Wang Yong couldn't wait to grab Huang Chen, and met four or five acquaintances, heading to the destination in a hurry. Everyone was not well-off, and they didn't dare to go to the real gold selling den, so they just looked for

A medium-sized brothel.

The madam came out from inside. She was about thirty years old, with a plump figure and a bit of charm. She was a regular visitor to everyone. She said with a smile on her face: "You guys, why did you come here at this time? Upstairs

The girls have just woken up and haven't dressed up yet, so I have to trouble you to wait for a while."

Wang Yong ignored the turtle husband next to the madam, touched her plump buttocks with his hands, twisted them hard, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and said with a smile: "We can bear it, but you can't, what can you do? Girl

We can't come, how about you stay with us?" The Madam was shocked and hurt when her butt was pinched, and she screamed, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Mr. Turtle was used to this, so he didn't take it seriously.

The old bustard laughed and said: "These gentlemen are all heroes of the sea. They are fierce and powerful, much stronger than the men in my family. If I were ten or eight years younger, I would definitely stay with you. But now that I am old and lose my beauty, I would rather.

The gentlemen are also reluctant."

Wang Yong joked: "You can't say that, there are benefits to being young, and there are benefits to being older."

While talking and laughing, everyone was taken to an elegant room by the madam. As soon as they entered, Huang Chen couldn't help but frown. The room was less than twenty square meters and was filled with a pungent aroma, just like the smell of cheap perfume in his previous life.

After some pushing and shoving, Wang Yong took the main seat, and Huang Chen sat on his left. They ordered seven or eight meat and vegetable dishes in one go, and drank ten kilograms of old rice wine.

The madam left the house to gather around, and everyone drank tea and joked around to pass the time.

Huang Chen didn't say a word after he sat down, which was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. In order not to spoil everyone's interest, he tried his best to search for adult jokes in his mind and retell a few paragraphs. Although everyone couldn't understand them all, some of the jokes were still funny.

Everyone laughed and applauded. For a moment, they looked at him with more affection. Huang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The food and drinks were served one after another, and the madam led six or seven girls in. Huang Chen raised his eyes and looked at them. These women were not ugly, but they were not even remotely beautiful. They were just middle-aged, but they were invincible in their youth. They were all the same color.

At the age of eighteen, his skin is tender and white, and he can beat the frost with the snow. Huang Chen looked around, everyone's eyes were dull, as if their souls had been taken away, and Wang Yong was no exception...

A girl in a lilac skirt squeezed into Huang Chen's arms with a scent of fragrance, and poured a glass of wine for him and herself. Just as she was about to invite him to drink, when she saw his hand holding the glass, her eyes suddenly straightened and widened,

Slender and strong, these were not the reasons that surprised her. What surprised her was that his nails were neatly trimmed, with no trace of mud visible, and they could be described as spotless.

The girl lowered her head and looked at her right hand again. Two faint black lines suddenly appeared between her index and middle fingers. She looked embarrassed and subconsciously shrank back. Then she said angrily: "Is this the hand of a pirate?"

?Cleaner than a scholar’s ​​hands..."

Huang Chen didn't know what she was thinking. When he saw that the glass was full of wine, he raised the glass and drank it slowly, talking to her. The pirates were obviously not as absent-minded as him. They hugged the girl and rubbed their breasts.

Touching the buttocks, I was very busy. Within two quarters of an hour, someone couldn't hold it anymore, smiled and confessed to everyone, and took the girl to have fun. After that, people left one after another, and finally only Huang Chen was left in the room.

, Wang Yong and two girls.

Huang Chen drank more than a pound of old yellow rice wine intermittently, feeling dizzy and dazed. He wanted to get out while he was still a little awake, but Wang Yong stopped him and pretended to be displeased: "Brother Huang, you really don't want to

Don't worry about the money left behind. My brother will help you pay it out without you having to pay a penny."

"Brother Wang, it's not about money." Huang Chen shook his head and said, he wasn't pretending to be aloof, he was indeed not interested.

Wang Yong said: "Is it because you are afraid that your family will know?"

Huang Chen nodded and said: "This is one reason. My father's body is still cold, and I am observing my filial piety. It is absolutely wrong to look for flowers and willows. If I do something out of the ordinary, even if my mother doesn't know about it, I'm afraid I will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future."

Huang Chen moved out of his late father directly, but Wang Yong did not dare to persuade him. The world is vast and filial piety is the most important thing. Huang Chen said goodbye to Wang Yong and returned to the inn drunk alone. He touched the bed and fell asleep, sleeping until dawn.

Most of the people would have fun in the market for a few days until their pockets were squeezed dry. Huang Chen did not want to stay here for a long time. The sun was not strong in the morning, so he went to several clothing stores and bought a white suit for his mother according to his body size.

Silk clothes, a green cloth clothes, and then a set of goose-yellow clothes for the mute girl. When he thought about himself, there was not much money left in his pocket, so he had to settle for the next best thing and buy himself a pair of cloth shoes and a handkerchief.

Come to the market and pack a bag of things. Huang Chen gathered three people who were also interested in returning and set off together.

After more than half an hour, Ms. Zhang arrived home successfully. Mrs. Zhang saw that Huang Chen had bought two sets of clothes for her, one of which was made of silk and satin. It was horrifyingly expensive. She couldn't help complaining, but she felt something else in her heart. The mute girl

Knowing that he had a share, his face turned into a smile. Seeing the two of them looking happy, Huang Chen thought that everything was worth it. Then he turned back to the West Room and lay on the bed to read "Ji Xiao's New Book".

In the next two days, Huang Chen spent most of his time practicing martial arts, reading, and teaching the mute girl how to read. The days were very leisurely. On the third day, Hu Erlao took his original servants and hired more than a hundred new people.

Return.

This time, Hu Er made a big move and recruited nearly ninety people at once. He had recently had conflicts with Taipan Lao, and less than eighty of his subordinates were injured. With a sudden increase in manpower, management will not be easy.

It is difficult to form combat effectiveness in the short term. Fortunately, accurate news came out in the market. Lin Qilao has been purchasing weapons and firearms recently. He seems to be spying on the coast of Zhejiang, and he has no time to pay attention to other things for the time being. As long as Lin Qilao does not come forward, Hu Erlao will come back.

How could he be afraid of a defeated general like Taipan Lao?

In order to familiarize the people with the ship as soon as possible, Hu Erlao couldn't wait to take the two sailboats offshore for practice as soon as they were repaired.
