A knife in love

Chapter 2895
Li Qiufeng looked intently, and saw that this big boat had a huge hull, more than twice the size of the big boat he was on in Ningbo, so he couldn't help admiring it repeatedly.Ding Guan smiled and said: "This big boat is the treasure of Mr. Cui's family in Tuanzifang, Dong'an City. He has never been willing to lend it to outsiders. I spent 3000 taels of silver to rent this big boat. If it is someone else, I'm afraid Master Cui may not be willing to borrow 3 taels of silver."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan listened to Ding Guan's words, knowing that he intended to show his merits, they both thought, let alone whether you spent 3000 taels of silver to rent this big boat from Master Cui, even if you really spent 3000 taels of silver to rent it Boat, the silver earned during this trip must be far more than 3000 taels.You speak like this in front of us because you want us to accept your love.

It's just that although the two of them thought about it in their hearts, the expressions on their faces remained the same.Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "Mr. Ding is very thoughtful. This big boat is so strong, it must be able to withstand strong winds and waves, and protect us to reach Fusang Kingdom safely."

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Master Yang has repeatedly ordered me to protect Uncle Li and Miss Mu carefully. How dare I not do my best to serve the two of you? In the past few days, I have transported all the food, water, and other items I bought to the ship. , please ask Uncle Li and Miss Mu to board the ship for inspection. If there are still deficiencies, just give orders to the two of you."

After listening to Ding Guan's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Miss Murong and I don't know the art of sailing at all, and we don't know what to buy when we go to sea.If Ding Guan wants to go with us, he must not dare to play tricks, so let him make the decision.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was about to speak, but he saw Ding Guan puckering his lips and making a whistle, he was startled, he didn't know what Ding Guan's intention was, so he didn't speak for a while.As soon as the whistle stopped, a gray-clothed man appeared on the bow of the big ship, looking towards the shore.Seeing this person appear, Ding Guan immediately said loudly: "Take the plank of the boat to the shore quickly, and ask Uncle Li and Miss Mu to board the boat for inspection."

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.The man at the bow agreed, turned around and ran to the deck.A moment later, he appeared at the bow of the boat with two men. Together, the three of them lifted a plank about a foot wide and pushed it straight to the shore.When the top of the ship plank landed on the bluestone slab on the shore, there was a crisp sound of "pop".Immediately afterwards, the man in gray trotted all the way to the shore stepping on the plank of the boat, bowed to Ding Guan, and said respectfully: "The villain pays homage to Master Ding."

Seeing the man in gray running from the bow to the shore, Li Qiufeng was stunned and thought that the plank of the boat was only about a foot wide, with one end on the bow, the other on the shore, and the middle hanging above the water. , wobbly, looking quite thrilling at first glance.This man stepped on the plank of the boat like he was walking on the ground, and ran from the bow to the shore in an instant. Could it be that he has advanced martial arts?Just listening to this man talking, his voice is very rough and his breathing is quite heavy, he is definitely not a person who has practiced internal skills, he thought to himself, although this man is strong and strong, he is running on the plank of the ship as if he is walking on flat ground, presumably he is on the plank of the ship I'm used to running, it's not like I've practiced martial arts.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Ding Guan said with a smile: "Qi Laowu, are you guys playing dice again in the cabin to gamble? Let's talk about the ugly thing first, if you lose money because of the bet and draw your knife again, you will be injured." People, I will not protect you, I will definitely tie you up and send you to the officials, and beat your butts so hard, let's see if you still dare to act recklessly and act recklessly!"

Hearing Ding Guan's words, Qi Laowu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Ding. We have gone to sea with Mr. Ding many times. When did we miss something? Although we don't have much knowledge, we can still distinguish the priorities. of."

Ding Guan curled his lips, and said: "It's good for you to know." After he finished speaking, he pointed to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan and said to Qi Laowu: "These two are Uncle Li and Miss Mu. The big boss who went to sea this time, why don't you come over to greet the two of them?!"

Just as Ding Guan finished speaking, Qi Laowu turned around, facing Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, with a smile on his face like a blooming flower, while bowing and saluting, he said respectfully: " The villain is really blind with his dog eyes, and he didn't see the arrival of the big boss, so please don't blame the big boss."

Li Qiufeng saw Qi Laowu's expression was sly, his eyes wandered, and he looked like a small man in the market. He was amused in his heart, raised his right hand falsely, and said, "Brother Qi, you don't need to be polite. This time I go to sea, please take care of me."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Qi Laowu was startled, waved his hands again and again, and said in his mouth: "The big master calls the villain like this, isn't it that the villain's life is shortened?! The villain's surname is Qi, and his parents are illiterate , and didn’t give the villain a name, so I had to call the villain the fifth brother according to the ranking of the brothers in the family. If Uncle Li has something to order, just call the villain Qi Laowu.”

Li Qiufeng hadn't spoken yet, but Ding Guan laughed and said, "Uncle Li, Qi Laowu is proficient in sailing, and he is the most powerful boatman outside the customs. Every time I go to sea, I will ask him to sail. With Qi Laowu's help, Our trip will be smooth sailing.”

Li Qiufeng and Qi Laowu said a few words of courtesy, and then under the guidance of Ding Guan, they stepped onto the big ship stepping on the plank.After getting on the big ship, I saw seven or eight men standing on the deck, standing respectfully with their hands down.Seeing Ding Guan walk up to the bow, everyone bowed in unison to salute, and said in their mouths: "The villain has seen Uncle Ding!"

Li Qiufeng watched with cold eyes, seeing these boatmen being so respectful in front of Ding Guan, it could even be said to be rather scared, it can be seen that Ding Guan was submissive in front of himself and Murong Danyan, and he was simply pretending to be timid on purpose.This man's city is extremely deep, and he is a figure with unquestionable killing decisions.Going to Fusang with this person this time, we need to rely on this person's strength and beware of this person, otherwise, if life is at stake, this person will do whatever it takes to survive, and may harm himself and Murong. Dan Yan's life.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Ding Guan say loudly: "Today the Lord is here, but you guys don't know Mount Tai, why don't you pay respects to Uncle Li and Miss Mu?!"

When Ding Guan finished speaking, Qi Wu said, "Brothers, these two are Uncle Ding and the Uncle Li and Miss Mu we mentioned. They are our big bosses when we go to sea this time. Follow the orders of Uncle Li and Miss Mu in everything, and you must not be disobedient in the slightest!"

After Qi Wu finished speaking, he first bowed to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to salute.Seeing this situation, more than a dozen men standing on the deck hurriedly imitated Qi Wu's appearance and saluted Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan in unison.Li Qiufeng hurriedly bowed his hands to return the salute, and said: "Everyone, you don't need to be too polite. This time I go to sea, Li relies on you a lot, and I ask all of you to help me a lot. After we return to the Central Plains, Li must have something else to do. Thanks."

After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Ding Guan said with a smile: "Uncle Li is young and promising, and his future is limitless. It is your luck that you can help him with his work."
