The merchant ship sailed southward by water. The big ship was loaded with cargo, and the draft was deep, and it walked smoothly. Jing Shu, Ye Meng and several important stewards had their own rooms, and the rest of the people were crowded in the big room in the lower cabin.The people next to them are all seniors who have been in the business for many years, but Jing Shu and Ye Meng from the master's family are young.

Especially Jingshu, those stewards were very puzzled by Ye Hui's order at first, how could a girl under 20 years old lead such an important caravan to go south for business, and wait for them to pass by Fuzhou for unloading and trading Only then did I know how powerful this girl is.

Seeing that he didn't like to make any noise, after getting off the ship, he only said a few words to the person who came to pick up the goods, and the whole process was completed.In the past, there would be chaos for a while, but those black eyes swept across the crowd, and all the small movements disappeared, and the young people with frizzy hands and feet came to their senses, moving boxes of goods onto the dock in an orderly manner with only their hands and mouths. .

Jing Shu led the people to carry two boxes of silver onto the boat, these are the payment for the transaction, Ye Meng walked aside with a sword on his back, "Miss Jing Shu, I know why the second brother is so precious to you, you are so beautiful And so capable, I like it too.”

After her footsteps stopped, the woman's expression was a little unnatural, "Fourth Villa Master, don't make fun of me..."

Ye Meng said with a smile: "Why don't you be my sister-in-law? Anyway, you grew up in Zhuangzi, and you know the basics, and your father will not object. My elder brother doesn't marry a wife. These years, my father has to force me to have a second wife." My brother got married, look at my second brother is handsome, thoughtful, and takes care of the housework in an orderly manner, you two are smart people... Huh? How did you leave?"

Jing Shu walked faster and faster, and disappeared after a while.

"Hey, you're shy..." Ye Meng scratched his head, thinking so seriously.

Ye Hui, who was far away in the Cangjian Villa, was flipping through the mountain of ledgers piled up after Jingshu left, when he suddenly sneezed hard, feeling that the doors and windows in all directions seemed to be not closed tightly, and the wind was blowing.

When the door was closed with a bang, Jingshu's pretty face turned from white to red and then to black. It took her a long time to recover, this fourth owner... She just heard Ye Meng say that sister-in-law's mind immediately appeared in her mind. He touched Ye Ying's face, and then heard Ye Meng telling her about Ye Hui, as if he was a matchmaker, making her laugh and cry and avoid it.

Sitting by the window and picking up a pen, she began to write letters. Apart from urgent matters, Jing Shu would report the itinerary and situation here to Ye Hui every half a month.The tip of the pen just got ink, and she seemed to have just noticed who she was writing the letter to. Thinking of Ye Meng's words, the hanging brush hadn't dropped for a long time. The paper was dyed black, and I don't know where the original draft was forgotten.

So a few days later, Ye Hui received the letter from Jing Shu, and when he opened it, he didn't know what to say.

Fuzhou is over, go to Quanzhou, everything is fine.

This girl speaks less and writes even less. Anyway, the letter sent from thousands of miles must write a few more words. If she wants to write these dozen words, she might as well use carrier pigeons.

As if he heard what Ye Hui said in his heart, half a month later, he really received a message brought back by a carrier pigeon, and when he opened it, he couldn't laugh or cry. This time, there were only eight words left: Arrived in Zhangzhou.

Once, Ye Hui accompanied Ye Ying to Jianlu to check the newly delivered mineral materials, and couldn't help pouring a glass of bitter water, "Brother, is that girl Jingshu not used to writing letters?"

Mentioning the name that was away from home, my thoughts suddenly drifted away, "What did she say?"

"It's nothing, just say it." Ye Hui thought of the letter he received this morning, and felt very depressed. The letter he received could not be called a letter, it could only be called a note. Jing Shu told him: The merchant ship has arrived in Chaozhou up.

Ye Ying nodded slightly, "That's good."

Ye Hui also knew it was good, that's all, as long as nothing happened.

When the merchant ship of the Ye family arrived in Guangzhou, they suddenly sent back a thick letter. Ye Hui's heart skipped a beat when he saw the bulging envelope. What accident?

He opened the envelope in a panic and calmly. The rough handwriting was not written by Jingshu at first glance. The second brother at the beginning was in a complicated mood, but the fourth brother was sensible.There are a few large sheets of eloquence, and they truthfully report all their experiences along the way since they left home, saying that the scenery along the way is very good, and they will set off for Leizhou by sea in a few days.

Ye Meng praised Jing Shu in the letter, saying that once when the merchant ship was docked at the pier, Jing Shu called him up in the middle of the night, and asked him to take a few disciples to check without giving any reason. I didn't want to find out a wave of thieves who wanted to board the ship at night to rob the goods.

Ye Hui knew that Jing Shu was vigilant, otherwise it would be impossible to avoid his father's eyes and ears and run to visit Ye Wei. He nodded while looking down, and when he saw the last paragraph, his handsome face suddenly seemed to be overturned. The flavors are as varied as seasoning jars.Ye Meng said in the letter that he was ashamed to write to his second brother a few times before, but each time it was only a few words. This time he wrote the letter on his behalf to express his miss for his second brother.

shy?miss?

Ye Hui's magnanimous heart suddenly became uneasy, where did this whole thing come from?

The merchant ships encountered some troubles when they arrived in Leizhou. The trouble was that they were going to Qiongzhou.Qiongzhou is on the island, but it is currently occupied by the rebel army. Although all the weapons on the Ye family merchant ship have been sold out, there are still dozens of sabers carried by the disciples. Too bad, the merchant ship was stopped by the government before going to sea.

"Miss Jingshu, what should I do? They want to detain the disciples' swords." Several stewards went to negotiate with the officers and soldiers to no avail, and all the disciples holding swords were kicked off the ship.

Ye Meng was standing next to Jing Shu with his sword in his arms. The officers and soldiers wanted to pull him down too, but Ye Meng stared blankly, and all the hands that wanted to pull him shrank back shyly.

"Sword, we can't hand it over." Jing Shu frowned slightly, although the people don't fight with officials, but if they withhold their swords, they would not be able to go to Qiongzhou.

"Then Qiongzhou..." Standing on the boat, they can see the small island across the sea. That is Ye Hui's final destination this time. If they don't hand over their swords, those officers and soldiers will stop them from going out to sea. .

I don't know if Ye Hui knew that he would encounter such a problem at the beginning. Before leaving, he only said to ask her to pay more attention to whether there are special products that are not common in Jiangnan, and did not mention a word about the banditry.Jingshu looked in the direction of Qiongzhou for a moment, then walked off the merchant ship slowly, and glanced at the officers and soldiers lined up on the shore one by one, and finally fell on a man riding a tall horse not far away, who happened to be looking at her. A woman stepping out of a boat full of men.

Ye Meng walked aside, and of course saw the person Jing Shu was looking at, "It should be the head here, let's discuss it?"

Just as she had this intention, she followed Ye Meng in a slow pace, ignoring the swords pointed at her, and walked in front of the man at a leisurely pace.

Ye Meng clasped his fists and bowed, "Caomin is from Hangzhou County in the south of the Yangtze River. He wants to go to Qiongzhou to do business all the way south. Could you please help me?"

The general guarding this place is named Jiang Cheng. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Meng, who was dressed luxuriously. He looked like the son of a rich family, but his footsteps were steady and powerful. He looked like a martial arts practitioner. Not only that, but also the servants who were surrounded He is very skilled, this pedestrian claims to be from Hidden Sword Villa, he is not from the rivers and lakes, and this place is far away from Hang County, he has never heard of this name, only thinks it looks suspicious.

"Qiongzhou is plagued by bandits, but you people possess martial arts skills. I don't know if you are the spies of the bandits on the island." Jiang Cheng sat on the horse with his sword on his back, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

Ye Meng arched his hands, "The Hidden Sword Villa is famous for casting swords and adoring martial arts, but the weapons they forge are only used for righteousness and righteousness. All the disciples under the door practice the way of a gentleman and never collude with bandits."

"Oh?" Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you make me believe that?"

"I wonder if my lord has heard of General Shence's Martial Realm, or General Tiance's Li Chengen?" At this moment, the woman in Tsing Yi who stood behind Ye Meng suddenly spoke, her voice was as soft as water, which was the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women, "This The two generals have been invited by my Tibetan Sword Villa twice, so they should be famous people in the army."

General Lee?Jiang Cheng was startled, and when the name he admired in his heart was spoken from someone else's mouth, he was a little excited in his heart.Li Chengen is the god of war in the hearts of all the soldiers in Tiance. His deeds are also talked about in the army, "What is your relationship with General Li?"

When Jingshu said this, Ye Meng also remembered that there are always two sword posts in the Famous Sword Conference that are going to be sent to the army. Tasting swords on the same stage also invited the generals of the imperial court."

Famous Sword Conference!Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that he hadn't been able to remember the name of the place where the famous sword competition was held!

"The Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River is a big and honest business family. Hidden Sword Villa is a well-known and decent family. It will never do anything that insults the righteous. If your lord doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask around. We just wait here." Jing Shu Slightly bowed, "It's just that my disciple who hides the sword never leaves his body, and this time I only carry the sword with me when I go out to sea. If we want to take it off, we are worried that we will not be able to protect the cargo of this ship, and we will not be able to protect our own safety. Please be lenient." .”

Ye Meng nodded, and bowed his hands in front of him, "Please be accommodating, my lord."

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, got off his horse, and walked not far away to talk with a man who looked like a counselor, as if to discuss what to do about this matter.

They were muttering there, Ye Meng couldn't hear clearly, Jingshu moved her ears, and knew that they wanted to check the origin of the merchant ship first.

Whether this matter can be done or not, Ye Meng has no idea at all, he just thinks that the government blocking the way is a big trouble, "Miss Jingshu, what if they still don't let us pass? Just go back like this?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Jiang Cheng, who had agreed to come back, and she didn't know if it was intentional. She replied lightly: "If we can't pass, we can only do so, but after I go back, I have to tell the owner that the next famous sword meeting , there is no need to give away the sword invitations in the barracks."

The voice was neither soft nor heavy, just enough for Jiang Cheng to hear.He suddenly raised his head to look at the woman who was talking to Ye Meng sideways, and he heard her continue to say angrily: "Hidden Sword Villa and General Li have been dealing with each other for so many years, and this time it is your Fourth Villa Master who came out this time." It’s really chilling that the people under him can’t trust us even if he’s accompanying him personally.”

"That makes sense." Ye Meng nodded, saw Jiang Cheng walking back with a black face, and then changed to a humble face, the speed of the face change was astonishing, he cupped his hands and asked: "My lord, I don't know..."

Jiang Cheng's face was livid, and he waved his hands, "You guys stay here first, don't leave without my order, and make plans after I verify your background."

After ordering people to lock the anchor, and leaving a group of soldiers to watch, Jiang Cheng left in a hurry with a group of henchmen.

The disciples returned to the boat one after another, watching Ye Meng and Jing Shu come back one after the other, if those people really dared to take their swords, they would never let it go.

Ye Meng stepped on the deck and looked back, he could no longer see Jiang Cheng, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "Miss Jingshu, you saw that when the general heard that we didn't send swords to Tiance's army, After posting, I don’t have any ugly faces, it’s really satisfying!”

Pursing her lips, Jing Shu's expression returned to calm, "Let's wait for the result first, I think if they are sure that we are from Hidden Sword Villa, they shouldn't stop us."

"Well, if we are really stopped, we can only go back." Ye Meng looked at the hazy island shadow in front of him, and he was not allowed to bring a sword. It was a place of right and wrong, and they were too unsafe in the past.
