Chapter 1154
Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi walked out of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, only to see two small sedans parked in front of the door. Zhang Shi frowned and said to the housekeeper who was standing by with his hands down, "Didn't I say last night not to prepare sedans?"
Really? Why did you get a sedan and put it here to be eye-catching?"
The housekeeper was startled when he heard Zhang Shi's harsh tone, and said in a trembling voice: "The master drank a lot last night, and when he was resting, he didn't tell me whether to prepare a sedan this morning. I thought the master was drunk, so he thought
To be prepared, I called two small sedans and waited in front of the door. If the master doesn't want to ride in the sedan, I will let them leave now."
Zhang Shi snorted and said: "Thieves kill talents, so you are clever. You pay the money for renting the sedan chair to the accountant, so you can talk to the sedan bearer, and don't bully others."
The butler nodded as if he had been granted amnesty, and then quickly ran to the sedan. Zhang Shi turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, let's go."
The two of them left Zhang's Mansion and walked into Sifang Alley. It was still early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. When the martial arts guards guarding the houses saw Li Qiufeng, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they did not dare to go any further.
When Li Qiufeng's eyes met, he had no choice but to turn his head to one side.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shi smiled at Li Qiufeng and said: "Brother Zhu, your fight was not in vain. Look at the appearance of these guys, I'm afraid you will die of fear. These are the people in Ningbo who can't be chopped to pieces or stewed."
The idle man has never been so afraid of others. Brother Zhu, when we return to China from Fusang Kingdom, you don’t have to go back to Shuzhong anymore. You can stay in Zhang’s Mansion to help me. Naturally, all the people in the city will not dare to offend our Zhang.
Of course, I will never treat you badly. I wonder what Brother Zhu wants?"
Li Qiufeng said: "This matter is important. We must inform my father Ming to see what he plans. I am not arrogant, but I just dare not disobey my father, so I ask for Zhang Yuanwai's forgiveness."
The two of them talked, walked south, passed the stone square at the entrance of Sifang Lane, and headed straight to the pier. Li Qiufeng looked around as he walked, making a surprised look. Zhang Shi saw Li Qiufeng like this
After seeing this, he felt more relieved, thinking that Li Qiufeng had indeed just arrived in Ningbo City yesterday to sell Shu brocade, and was not sent by the enemy, and finally put his heart back into his stomach.
When the two of them arrived at the pier, they saw a lively scene in front of them. Some sailboats had set sail early in the morning, so the pier had many berths for ships. Li Qiufeng followed Zhang Shi through the crowd and made an appointment for a cup of tea.
Only then did we arrive in front of the big boat yesterday. We saw that the wooden boxes and sacks that were originally placed on the shore were no longer there. They must have been moved to the boat by the boatman. Shopkeeper Hu and five other shopkeepers were standing on the shore.
They gathered together and whispered.
When Zhang Shi saw shopkeeper Hu and others gathered together, he first waved to Li Qiufeng and whispered: "I will meet all the shopkeepers later, and I will talk to them. The less Brother Zhu says, the better."
Li Qiufeng nodded. Zhang Shi ignored him and walked quickly towards Shopkeeper Hu and others, while smiling: "Old Hu, why are you here so early?"
Shopkeeper Hu and others turned around to look, saw Zhang Shi arriving, and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Shopkeeper Hu and Zhang Shi exchanged greetings, and then said with a smile: "These things are the wealth and lives of us, if there is anything
If something goes wrong, something is seriously wrong. So we arrived here early in the morning to see if anything went wrong. When we arrived just now, we found that something was missing, which scared a few of us out of our wits. Fortunately, we sent someone nearby
Someone came to report that late last night, the boat boss and the boatman moved all the things to the boat. We felt relieved now."
Zhang Shi knew that Shopkeeper Hu and others were worried about the loss of the goods, so he sent people to keep an eye on the dock. He laughed and said: "We have been doing business with the ship owner for six years and there has never been any problems. Shopkeeper Hu doesn't need to
Worry, if there is any loss, it will be compensated by me as the middleman, and I will never let you lose everything."
When Shopkeeper Hu heard what Zhang Shi said, his fat face was immediately filled with a smile, and he said: "With Zhang Yuanwai as guarantee, how can we have anything to worry about? As long as this transaction goes through safely, Zhang Yuanwai will
He is our great benefactor, and his heart is indispensable."
As soon as Shopkeeper Hu finished speaking, the other shopkeepers also echoed. Zhang Shi said with a smile: "We are all good friends. If you talk about such nonsense again, Zhang's face will not be easy to bear."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the ship, turned to Shopkeeper Hu and said, "Has the ship boss come out to see you all?"
Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said: "I just heard from the boatman that the boss of the boat went to buy things for sea early in the morning and has not come back yet. But our goods have been placed on the boat. When the boss of the boat comes back, we can just go to the boat and take a look.
.”
Zhang Shi nodded, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, let me introduce you to some friends."
Shopkeeper Hu and others were all well-informed people, and just now they saw Li Qiufeng standing behind Zhang Shi. Because they did not know the origin of Li Qiufeng, they were extremely careful when talking to Zhang Shi, for fear of
He said the wrong thing and ruined everyone's affairs. Listening to Zhang Shi's words, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Li Qiufeng.
Zhang Shi introduced shopkeeper Hu and others to Li Qiufeng one by one. It turned out that the six shopkeepers were named Hu, Bai, Song, Yin, Ji, and Luo. They came from Ningbo, Huzhou, Huizhou, Wuxi and other places, and all of them were rich.
Li Qiufeng, a wealthy man on one side, thought to himself that these six people looked like they were all smooth-tempered people. When he was walking with these people, he had to be careful at all times to avoid being spotted by these old foxes.
After Zhang Shi introduced the six shopkeepers, he pointed at Li Qiufeng and said to shopkeeper Hu and others: "This friend's surname is Zhu, and he is a knight invited by Zhang to escort us. You should get closer to him."
"
Shopkeeper Hu and others looked at Li Qiufeng carefully. Seeing that he was only in his twenties, his body was a little thin, and he didn't have any strength at all, they were a little surprised. Li Qiufeng hugged him and bowed, and said:
"I have been entrusted by Zhang Yuanwai to go to sea with all the shopkeepers. I hope you will take good care of me."
Shopkeeper Hu and others hurriedly returned the gift. The two parties were polite for a while, but shopkeeper Bai said: "Brother Zhu Shi is so young that he can be a guest of Yuan Zhang. He must have an amazing artistic talent. Can you show us your skills?
, also let us open our eyes?"
Li Qiufeng knew that these people were suspicious of him when they saw that he was young and wanted to test his martial arts. He thought that if he could not convince these people, they might not be willing to take him to Fusang. So he smiled and pointed.
A tall pole for hanging lanterns was erected on the bow of a small boat on the right side of the big ship, and he said: "Have you seen that lantern, shopkeepers?"
Shopkeeper Hu and others turned around to look, and saw that the lantern was about five or six feet away from everyone, and more than two feet from the deck. Everyone secretly thought, we are not blind, how could we not see the lantern? So Shopkeeper Hu and others
The people turned around and nodded in unison.
Li Qiufeng took out a copper coin from his right hand, placed it flat in the palm of his hand, and turned it around in front of Shopkeeper Hu and others. Shopkeeper Hu and others looked at each other, wondering what Li Qiufeng did when he took out a copper coin for everyone to see.
What's his intention? Li Qiufeng took back his right hand and pinched the copper coin with his thumb, index finger and middle finger. He didn't see how hard he used it. He only heard a sharp sound of "chi" and a ray of yellow light flew out from his right hand. Between the lightning and flint.
, but saw that the lantern hanging on the high pole suddenly fell off and fell straight into the water.
Shopkeeper Hu and others on the side could see clearly that the yellow light from Li Qiufeng's hand flew straight towards the lantern and cut the rope hanging the lantern, causing the lantern to fall into the water. The yellow light did not disappear and flew out again.
After several feet, he fell into the river.
Shopkeeper Hu and others' expressions changed greatly. They knew that Li Qiufeng broke the rope with copper coins, causing the lantern to fall. Although these people did not know martial arts, they also knew that Li Qiufeng was extremely good at concealed weapon skills. So the lantern pendant
After entering the water, several shopkeepers couldn't help but shout out. Shopkeeper Song even gave Li Qiufeng a thumbs up and said: "This brother Zhu is so young at a young age. Song was sailing on Dongting Lake last year.
, I once saw Huang Tang, known as the "Three Masters of Dongting", dueling with the Pengjiazhai gang. At that time, Huang Tang fired darts, which opened Song's eyes. But today, I saw that Zhu's hidden weapon skills were better than Huang Tang's.
Too much. I admire and admire you."
