A knife in love

Chapter 2896
After Ding Guan finished speaking, Qi Wu and the others followed suit, flying towards Li Qiufeng with tall hats.Qi Wu is the leader of these boatmen, and he is the shrewdest. After he praised Li Qiufeng a lot, he flattered Ding Guan, and finally said loudly: "Our brothers can do things for Uncle Li and Uncle Ding. What a blessing to come! Going out to sea this time will definitely be smooth sailing and everything will be fulfilled.”

Ding Guan listened to Qi Wuda flattering himself and Li Qiufeng, and he was very pleased. He laughed and said, "Okay, okay, we don't have to say these polite words. Fifth, you take Uncle Li and Miss Mu went around the boat and asked the two of them to see if there is anything left unpacked."

Qi Laowu agreed, and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan with a smile on his face: "Please go ahead, both of you."

Li Qiufeng nodded, followed behind Qi Laowu with Murong Danyan, first turned around on the deck, and then realized that this big ship was even bigger than when he was looking around on the dock just now.There are five masts standing in the center of the hull, and the rear rudder is even more shockingly large.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this big boat is two or three times larger than the one I was on when I went out to sea in Ningbo, so it must be extremely smooth sailing on the sea.Ding Guan said before that he rented this big boat for 3000 taels of silver. Hire this big boat.

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan followed Qi Laowu around the deck, spending a whole stick of incense time.Afterwards, Qi Laowu led Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan into the cabin, and they realized that the cabin of the big ship was actually divided into two floors, each floor was very spacious, and they could walk around without bending over.Li Qiufeng was startled, thinking to himself that although the cabin of the big boat he was on earlier was not small, he had to walk with his body bent in the cabin, otherwise he would crash into the deck.The cabin of this big ship is like a two-story wooden building on land, without any cramped and oppressive feeling at all.

The three of them looked from cabin to cabin.Some of these cabins are living rooms, and some are used to store food, water and other necessary things at sea.It took more than an hour to walk around the two cabins.Li Qiufeng admired in his heart, and thought to himself that Ding Guan was really good, in just a few days, he actually purchased so many things for sailing, it shows that he has a lot of experience in going to sea, otherwise he would never have thought so thoroughly.

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan followed Qi Laowu around the cabin, checked every cabin, and then boarded the deck.Ding Guanying stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li, you see that there is still something lacking on the ship, just order to go down to buy it."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding can purchase all these things in just a few days. Li has nothing but admiration for you. With Mr. Ding's help, we will be able to arrive safely this time." Fuso."

Ding Guanqian backed down a few words, and told Qi Laowu and the others to wait on the boat with peace of mind, not to gamble and fight, and then he accompanied Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan off the big boat, and walked towards Dong'an City along the way they came.Murong Danyan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the millstone. Mr. Ding's family has a huge wealth, and he spent money like running water to buy so many things."

When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Although our big boat has all the things we need to go to sea, there are still three big boats to transport the Fusang people to join us. What the three big boats need There are more things, I wonder how Mr. Ding will deal with them?"

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face, "Ms. Mu, don't worry. What kind of person is Master Yang? He sent three big ships to Dong'an City to meet us. He must have made a good plan in advance. We just need to wait in Dong'an City with peace of mind."

The three talked and talked, and walked back to Dong'an City all the way.Ding Guan sent Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan back to Yu's old shop, and then left.Afterwards, Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan lived in Yu's old shop and waited peacefully. They read and chatted together every day, but they were not lonely.Li Qiufeng studied martial arts with his master since he was a child. Although he also read and wrote in his spare time, it was just for errands, and he had never read books so seriously.He always thought that reading was a hard job, but it was only when he calmed down and read carefully that he realized that there was another world in the book.Li Qiufeng was pleasantly surprised, but also a little annoyed. He thought to himself that if he knew this, when I followed Master in Sichuan, I should have read more papers.I used to think that to compete with the enemy, one could rely solely on martial arts. After reading these books, I realized that those who want to achieve great things cannot rely on martial arts alone. .Master often said that martial arts are only the last part, and the first thing is to understand the principles of reading. Today I finally understand the truth.

In just three days, Li Qiufeng studied hard day and night, and had already read through the Zizhi Tongjian.Although his reading is very sloppy, he has a lot of insights.After he finished reading the last page, he almost felt reborn, and felt boundless joy in his heart, if he wasn't in the inn, he would almost burst out laughing.

When Li Qiufeng was studying hard at the old shop, Ding Guan would visit him and Murong Danyan every day at the inn, either bringing them delicious food or wine, or chatting with Li Qiufeng to relieve boredom.Murong Danyan looked down on Ding Guan in his heart, and when talking to him at the beginning, his words were often sarcasm, but Ding Guan was very witty, after talking with Murong Danyan a few times, he already figured out Murong Danyan's thoughts Be careful, when you speak, you will be flattering, and you will say what Murong Danyan likes to hear.Although Murong Danyan has extraordinary knowledge, she is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. When it comes to world affairs, who is Ding Guan's opponent?So after a day or two, Murong Danyan no longer hated Ding Guan, but thought that Ding Guan's words were funny, and his guard gradually disappeared.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Ding Guan accompanied Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to finish their lunch, and then left.Li Qiufeng returned to the guest room, and was about to open the Spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo's Biography to read carefully, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and someone came straight from the stairs to the guest room where he lived.Li Qiufeng had lived in Yu's old shop for five or six days, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately recognized that the shopkeeper had reached the second floor.Sure enough, the footsteps stopped in front of Li Qiufeng's guest room, and then the shopkeeper said outside the door: "Master Li, a military master came to the inn and said he wanted to see Mr. Li. The little old man came to inform Li Qiufeng." Uncle said, I don't know if Uncle Li plans to let him come to visit him on the second floor, or if Uncle Li went downstairs to meet him himself?"

After listening to the shopkeeper, Li Qiufeng hurriedly put the book on the table, walked quickly to the door and opened the door.Seeing Li Qiufeng coming out, the shopkeeper hastily bowed his hands and saluted.Li Qiufeng bowed his hand to return the salute, and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. Don't bother him to go upstairs, I'll go downstairs to see him."
