Ask Sword

Hu Shang's avatar smiled brightly, and Li Ang was not at all worried that the other party would check it out.

First of all, the Hu merchant in the Western Regions named An Xuehai did exist, he was indeed a representative of Changan Qinhe Company, and he did have a private seal of gold and gold - they had approached Li Ang before and asked to buy allicin and other medicines to sell to the Western Regions Export rights, so Li Ang knows this information.

Secondly, the real An Xuehai has now left Chang'an and led the Hu people's caravan back to the Western Regions.

Shopkeeper Lu is only the manager of Liuguang Bank in Suzhou City, and he is not qualified to use high-level alienated objects like worms to ask Chang'an from a distance.

What's more, if the matter was not urgent or difficult, he would only send a letter to Chang'an, in which he briefly stated that Hu Shang from the Western Regions came to Suzhou to find him for work.

The time between letter transmission on the road, coming and going, is enough for Mosi's clone to board the Shanghai Charm, and find Su Xinghuo to obtain information about Mosi's origin.

Wait until shopkeeper Lu, or people from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce find out that something is wrong,

Mosi's avatar has long since disappeared without a trace, and there is a high probability that the matter will not be resolved. No one would suspect Li Ang.

This cabin has not been booked yet, I can help shopkeeper An make a reservation for you first.

Under the influence of money, shopkeeper Lu fully agreed to let the servant make a pot of good tea to entertain Hu Shang An Xuehai.

After a while, the servants of his family trotted over with a blue boat ticket.

Sea Charm, first-class area, Room 13.

Shopkeeper Lu smiled and said, This VIP ticket can be used by three passengers. Shopkeeper An can bring two servants on board.

Thank you. But I don't like being too crowded. One servant is enough on board.

Mosi's avatar showed a surprised look, exchanged some polite words with the other party, and then left the mansion.

Getting the boat ticket is only the first step, and you have to do a full set of acting.

Li Ang asked Mosi's avatars to rent a small yard at the mansion next to the port, and then went to buy a change of clothes and daily necessities for the ship.

When An Xuehai sails out to sea, his Hu man servants will stay in the small yard, live a normal life, and wait for An Xuehai to come back.

In the evening, the warm wind is warm, and the setting sun blends with the water surface, sparkling.

Hu Shang An Xuehai, who was transformed into Mosi, boarded the deck of the Sea Charm with his servant Hua Sen.

Tomorrow, the Sea Charm will sail to sea, and some luxuriously dressed passengers are scattered on the deck in twos and threes, holding wine glasses, leaning on the railing, talking about poetry, revealing or showing off their family background, wealth and background.

Li Ang stood on the deck, carefully observing the huge sailing ship.

The Sea Charm was built by the Holy Empress to show off the national power of Yu State. The keel and mast on the ship were made of the strongest old mountain wood. Nine masts can hang twelve sails. When all are raised, the shadows cast can block the sun.

On the railing on the edge of the ship's deck, some traces of the repeated ballistas that were once parked can be vaguely seen-now in order to receive passengers, the number of repeated ballistas has been greatly reduced, and they have all been moved to the middle cabin.

Guests please come with me.

Probably because Li Ang bought the highest-level VIP ticket, a crew member who claimed to be a VIP receptionist approached and led An Xuehai to the reserved cabin, introducing information about the Sea Charm along the way.

For example, this ship has swimming pools and baths, chefs from different countries who are proficient in major cuisines, performances by well-known theater troupes and famous actors, gambling houses, and auction houses.

The life of luxury and enjoyment is no different from that on land, even worse—passengers can personally control the repeating ballista and catch large fish under the supervision of the monks on board.

Li Ang controlled Mosi's clone to nod constantly. He was not interested in the luxurious life on the Sea Charm, and he had heard it from his companions and classmates before—those rich and powerful children also talked about being able to board the Sea Charm and go out to sea.

Are these talisman lamps the latest?

An Xuehai stopped suddenly, pointed to the glass hanging lamps on the wall of the corridor and asked.

Yes.

The receptionist didn't expect An Xuehai to ask this question, and replied truthfully: This is the latest creation of Yu Guoxue Palace.

In the past, when sailing at sea, all kerosene lamps were used. But no matter how much spices are added to the kerosene lamp, there is still a faint unpleasant smell.

And if fluorescent stone is used as cabin lighting, it will look too gloomy.

Rune lamps can be regarded as the solution to all problems, except that they are expensive - each rune lamp is expensive, and must be connected to the aura machine in the lower cabin through a copper cable buried in the wooden wall.

The Sea Charm has been busy with these things for more than half a month at Suzhou Port.

Well, your room has arrived.

The receptionist stopped in front of a thick wooden door, untied a large bunch of heavy keys hanging on a disc from his waist, took out a double-sided serrated copper key from inside, inserted it into the door lock, and pushed open the wooden door.

I saw that the cabin was extraordinarily spacious, with two large beds laid out, and the floor was covered with western-style wool woven carpets.

Dressing tables, wardrobes, shoe cabinets are all available, and there is even a refrigerator with a built-in sweet talisman.

All furniture, including beds, stools, is nailed to the wooden floor. Prevents slipping when the boat rocks.

The sea-facing circular window on the right side of the room can be opened upwards to enjoy the sea view.

The rune lamp on the left wall of the room can be turned on or off by a switch.

If you think the sea breeze is too strong, you can inform us and buy a breeze talisman. In this way, even at night, the air will not feel dull.”

The receptionist introduced incessantly that the interior of the Sea Charm is roughly divided into four floors.

In the first-class area, the people who live are the rich, the powerful, and the children of aristocratic families.

Class B areas are populated by rich people and bureaucrats.

Class C areas live in ordinary rich businessmen and ordinary families who grit their teeth and spend extravagance.

Ding and other areas are the residences of the crew.

With An Xuehai's status, he can undoubtedly be classified as a wealthy person, and it is normal for him to be warmly treated by the crew.

But Su Xinghuo is obviously not some rich and powerful man, otherwise he would not be so proud of getting a medical qualification certificate.

There are other reasons why he can live in the first-class area.

How many times do I need to say it again? I've been cursed! I'll die as soon as I step on land! I won't go back to Zhou Kingdom with you guys! Noble titles? Can titles matter?

The roar of anger was deafening and sounded like it was coming from the next room next door.

During the period, there were also Su Xinghuo's obstruction and persuasion.

An Xuehai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the receptionist.

The other party gave a wry smile silently, went to close the door first, and then explained in a low voice: That is the distinguished guest of Zhou Guo who lives in Room 9,

You may have heard his name.

Xia Yuanjia.
