The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun fixedly piloted the boat filled with fireworks, and seeing that it was getting late, he left.

Linghu Qing looked at the direction Zhong Qiyun was leaving, and said with a smile: "This Zhong Qiyun is really interesting, and he really doesn't use dirty words when he hurts people. I saw that the young master of the Pei family is usually arrogant and domineering, but this time Zhong Qiyun took care of him. It's just that this person is so courageous that even the queen dares to speak out..."

Speaking of this, Linghu looked at Xie Wenyuan who was beside him affectionately, and asked, "Is it possible that Ying Shu has never mentioned it to him, and who is the current Second Prince?"

"Of course I didn't mention it."

Although Xie Wenyuan didn't know what Zhong Qiyun was thinking so that he wasn't afraid of the prince, but in any case, his actions helped him.

After hearing this, Linghu Qing shook her head and smiled: "Don't talk about that, I've been busy with the prince's business these days, so I haven't been able to drink and chat with Ying Shu, and I'll ask Pu Nian to bring some good wine later. , How many drinks shall we have together?"

Xie Wenyuan looked sideways and nodded: "Yes."

The situation at sea is unpredictable, and it will not always be peaceful. The fifth day after leaving Maojiang coincided with a heavy rain that lasted for two hours.

In the sudden rainstorm that day, Yang Xiangdong really lived up to it all the way. Seeing the small and thin woman standing firmly on the bumpy deck, holding a compass to identify the direction against the rain, she only relied on listening to Zhong Qiyun. With the sound of the trumpet, he fully understood Zhong Qiyun's meaning, and directed dozens of boatmen to shake the sails, turn the sails, and turn.In the wind and waves, only a woman's voice was heard leading the boat smoothly through the two hours of turbulence in the sea.After that night, not only the guards brought by Tan Yuanjin, but even Tan Yuanjin looked at the little girl with special regard.

Because compared with her, Pei Yan, who yelled ghostly in the rainstorm and then vomited and diarrhea, looked useless.

In fact, Pei Yan was not alone in the storm that day, except for the boatmen who were used to such waves, those who took the sea boat for the first time were all frightened to varying degrees.

Except Xie Wenyuan.

Zhong Qiyun really didn't expect it, and Zhong Qiyun only learned about it from Yang Xiangdong the next day. That night, a rope on the mast of the treasure ship broke for some reason, and the sail was deflected. Helped.

Yang Xiangdong recognized this person as Mr. Xie who met Jiangkou in Hangzhou City that day, she whispered to Zhong Qiyun: "At that time, no one saw it, but I saw it, and he jumped down from the second floor in an instant and grabbed the rope.

, two or three times to fix it on the Chuanyan, that skill is amazing! "

Yang Xiangdong said, his face flushed with excitement, "No wonder the people mentioned this lord with such admiration! Hey, master, he even knows something about the wind direction. I'm sorry to say that, I was a little dazed at the time, It was he who reminded me to change the wind, which is very admirable."

As she spoke, the little girl sighed a few more times.

"..." Zhong Qiyun squinted at this little apprentice, why didn't I see you so excited when I commanded the fleet to cross all kinds of storms and waves?

It's just that he didn't say these words, and when he went to find Xie Wenyuan, he asked him some things about the night 'by the way'.But Xie Wenyuan always skipped it lightly and didn't say much.

Perhaps God also knew that the fleet was running out of time. Except for the sudden rain after nightfall that day, the rest of the sea route south to Zhancheng was smooth and sunny.

Speaking of which, this was the smoothest trip Zhong Qiyun had made since sailing. After all, it was really rare to encounter such two hours of rain after traveling for half a month.

Zhong Qiyun knew that this kind of good weather is rare, and this is a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to squeeze the time, so he asked Yang Xiangdong and the leaders of other ships to command the fleet to rush along the river.

Originally, it would take [-] or [-] days to sail to Zhancheng after leaving Maojiang, but in only [-] days, the fleet approached Sangha City, the capital of Zhancheng.

The closer the city was, the more cautious Zhong Qiyun became, and Zhong Qiyun was not at ease when Jiang Sicheng organized thugs to strengthen the defense of the boats.

The last time I came to Sangha City, I had a grudge against the Sangha pirates with him. Although he was cruel and cut off their retreat at that time, in the middle of the night, there were still people who survived, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate .What's more, pirates are rampant in Zhan City...

'No matter where, the pirates have a strong desire for revenge and cruel means, and if they have suffered from you, they will remember it for a lifetime as long as they live, and they will pay back twice as long as they live. "Old Jinling Cai had told him many times when he handed over his charts for decades, and Zhong Qiyun naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

But it's strange to say that even though they didn't fight the pirates head-on the last time they came, they did encounter several waves of ships eager to try.But until the fleet docked at the port of Sangha City, Zhong Qiyun did not see a single pirate ship.

Arriving at the Sangha a few days in advance was indeed a happy event. Zhong Qiyun temporarily suppressed his doubts and asked the crew who knew Zhancheng dialect to contact the port officials.The fleet needs to take a good rest and replenish supplies here before proceeding to the next stage of the journey.

After more than ten days of bumpy seas, I haven't kept my feet on the ground for a long time

After the crew and the officials got in touch with each other, the Zhang family also contacted the merchant who received the goods for the Sangha. Zhong Qiyun immediately asked this person to contact the local laborers and horses and horses to prepare to load the goods.

"Is Zhang Zhenfeng here?" Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhang Zhenfeng who got off the boat waving his fan, and walked to Zhong Qiyun's side and asked.

"Well, he signed a contract with the merchants of the Sangha to deliver furniture, porcelain and other items every year, so he signed a ten-year delivery agreement with me,"

Among the three big treasure ships that came this time, one was specially loaded with artifacts from the Zhang family, Xie Wenyuan knew about it, "Then he will go back to Daqing with the ship?"

Zhong Qiyun nodded, "Our destination is Shendu, it is impossible to go back now, and there is still half of the journey to Shendu, and we don't know when we will return to the Sangha again. He can't go with us, and it's impossible Waiting here, so I can only arrange for him and the servants of the Zhang family to go back with the boat, and then I will let two stewards accompany him to lead the navigation, so as to ensure safety."

When Zhong Qiyun said this, Zhang Zhenfeng who was under the boat didn't know what he was talking about with the familiar Sangha merchant. After the man left first, Zhang Zhenfeng strode towards Zhong Qiyun.

"Okay, let me tell you, how could Nu Guyun give you the priceless jade?" Zhang Zhenfeng gasped, looked Zhong Qiyun up and down, with an expression of disbelief, "Brother Qiyun Ah, I'm surprised why he doesn't want so much money, so..."

Zhang Zhenfeng's voice was not low, and Tan Yuanjin and his party not far away, as well as Liu Wang, who followed Zhong Qiyun to the Sangha, all looked over curiously.

"Master Zhang, what's going on?" Liu Wangcai was already very curious about this matter, but Zhong Qiyun never told them about it. Hearing what Zhang Zhenfeng said this time, he obviously knew the inside story!He smacked his mouth and leaned over excitedly.

"What jade?" Linghu Qing loves jade very much, just like he likes beauties, and he has a lot of collections at home. He knows that Zhancheng produces beautiful jade, so he planned to go to the jade shop this time to have a look .

Zhang Zhenfeng just mentioned the priceless jade?Linghu Qing was very interested. One must know that the Zhang family is a wealthy businessman, and Zhang Zhenfeng is Zhang Sixue's favored youngest son. What treasures have you never seen?To be able to say 'invaluable' from his mouth, I'm afraid it is really a rare item.

"You don't know something," Liu Wangcai, who was next to Linghu Qing, briefly explained the origin of Xia Nayu and how stunning it was, and then added: "Yes.

In recent years, no more translucent and beautiful jade has appeared in Zhancheng. "

Zhang Zhenfeng couldn't hear what the onlookers were saying, and stared at Zhong Qiyun with a pair of phoenix eyes, looking up and down as if he had never recognized him.

"So, it turns out that you promised Na Nu Guyun to send him two boats of silk clothes every year?! You also gave him ten years!"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xie Wenyuan's eyes when he heard the words, but he covered it up in the next moment.

The boatman who knew the situation at the side didn't have such concentration as him, and just stood there stupidly.

It was Liu Wang who came back to his senses first, "Brother Zhong, you are really spending your money... Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder that merchant can give up his love..."

For ten years, free of transportation of money, free of cost of silk... and delivery to the Sangha, and now only Zhong Qiyun can do it in Daqing.

Zhang Zhenfeng put away the folding fan, tapped it towards Zhong Qiyun, smashed it, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Good Zhong Qiyun! You have hidden it deep enough. I said why I asked you to sign the ten-year contract at the beginning? You agreed without even thinking about it." It's off, so you've already settled it! Why don't you let yourself take this trip and lose your money! Unexpectedly, I, Zhang Zhenfeng, would one day come to you to understand what is "no business without evil" and stumbled .”

Zhong Qiyun saw that the matter could not be concealed, so he pushed Zhang Zhenfeng's fan away with a smile, "Young Master Zhang, this is a misunderstanding. How can this be called a 'fault', it should be called a 'mutual benefit and win-win situation'. Look, we signed Which term of the contract is unfair? Can the transportation price I proposed be considered beneficial to you?"

"..." Zhang Zhenfeng took a deep breath, and didn't know how to refute for a while, because it was indeed as Zhong Qiyun said, the contract he signed was a "win-win" for both parties.

"It seems that there were six large ships carrying silk in Maojiang that day, but you only unloaded silk from four ships. The items of these two ships are all reserved for Nu Guyun?" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhenfeng shook his head and laughed, Zhong Qiyun was really interesting: "Brother Qiyun is very thoughtful, Zhang admires him," he said, shaking the folding fan again, "I just don't know who is worthy of brother Qiyun's attention." With such a capital, I have to get that jade."

Zhong Qiyun paused when he heard the sound, and replied flatly: "No one, I'll just keep it to myself."

"Oh?" Zhang Zhenfeng obviously didn't believe it, and subconsciously looked at Xie Wenyuan, but saw Xie Wenyuan talking with his entourage, and there was no change in his expression...

Linghu didn't know about it. Hearing the beauty of this jade, his heart was really itchy, and he desperately wanted to see this amazing jade, "If Boss Zhong doesn't like such a good thing, why not bring it to us?" Open your eyes?"

"..."
