A knife in love

Chapter 2907
When everything was tidied up and it was past Haishi, Li Qiufeng had a few gossips with Zhou Xian, then he handed him his farewell and boarded the big ship accompanied by Ding Guan.Ding Guan ordered to set sail, and the big ship slowly left the dock.The light of the torches on the shore became smaller and smaller, and was finally submerged in darkness and could no longer be seen.

The large ship that Li Qiufeng and others were on had a huge hull and was extremely stable when sailing at sea.The master hung a great lantern from every mast, and lighted tar torches on the bow and stern gunwales.Murong Danyan felt strange, and couldn't help but said to Ding Guan who was standing beside him: "Mr. Ding, the sea is vast and boundless, these lanterns and torches can't illuminate the sea at all, what's the use of hanging them?"

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Miss Mu is right. These lanterns and torches really can't illuminate the sea. However, they were not originally used to guide the big ship, but to communicate with the other three big ships. We want them to follow us and move forward one by one, so as not to get lost at sea. In addition, it is also to remind other ships sailing at sea not to collide with our big ship."

After hearing what Ding Guan said, Murong Danyan clapped his hands and laughed, "I know. I once heard a joke about a blind man who went out at night with a lantern in his hand. When the neighbors saw it, they were amused. , and said to him, you are a blind man, why carry a lantern when you go out? Isn’t it a waste of time for a blind man to light a lamp? The blind man knew that his neighbors deliberately ridiculed him, but he was not angry, and said, I did not carry a lantern to illuminate The road, but to let passers-by see me, so as not to bump into me. The big boat we are riding on hangs lanterns, which is somewhat similar to blind men lighting lamps."

Ding Guan listened to Murong Danyan's nondescript words, and felt disdainful, but still had a respectful expression on his face, and said in his mouth: "Miss is really right, I admire it."

The three of them were talking on the deck, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.Ding Guan asked Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to rest in their respective cabins, and personally led them to the cabin below the deck.After watching Murong Danyan enter the cabin, Li Qiufeng got into his own cabin.I saw that teapots and cups had been placed on the small table in the cabin, and a box containing books was placed in a corner of the cabin.Li Qiufeng secretly thought Zanding thoughtfully, sat at the table and drank a cup of fragrant tea, then removed his shoes, socks and clothes, and lay down on the quilt to read a book for a while.He didn't put down the scroll until he felt sleepy, and slapped it with his right palm. He heard a "huh", and the oil lamp on the small table went out immediately.Li Qiufeng closed his eyes and breathed out, and finally fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

Early this morning, after Li Qiufeng woke up, he put on his clothes, quietly walked onto the deck, and looked around.I saw that the sea was boundless, no matter where I looked, the scene was exactly the same.The big ship is sailing on the sea, although it fluctuates slightly with the waves, standing on the deck is considered stable.Forty or fifty feet away from the big ship, another big boat followed closely.The other two big ships were farther away, and people could be vaguely seen looking around at the bow.

Li Qiufeng looked at it for a while, then turned around, and saw two boatmen standing under the mast, chatting and laughing quietly.Another boatman was standing at the bow, looking forward.

Li Qiufeng took a deep breath. Although the sea breeze was clear, it had a slight fishy smell, and it was not easy to inhale.He paced back and forth on the deck with his hands behind his back, his thoughts were hard to calm down.At this moment, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, but it was Ding Guan who came out from below the deck.Seeing Li Qiufeng standing on the deck with his hands behind his back, Ding Guan hurriedly walked up to Li Qiufeng, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li woke up really early. I wonder if Uncle Li slept well last night? If you are not satisfied with the cabin , I will exchange another satisfactory cabin for Uncle Li."

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Ding is too polite. To be honest, Mr. Li has been traveling around in the past few months, and has hardly had a good night's sleep. Last night, he slept very soundly. He slept through the night. The light is bright. It is rare for Li to be able to sleep so soundly, thanks to Mr. Ding for finding such a big boat for us."

While speaking, Li Qiufeng bowed his hands to Ding Guan to thank him.Ding Guan was startled, and hastily cupped his hands to return the gift, saying: "Uncle Li must not do this, otherwise I will be in trouble. It is my duty to serve Uncle Li well, how dare I ask Uncle Li to thank you?"

After the two of them said a few polite words, Li Qiufeng glanced at the two boatmen standing under the mast, and then said to Ding Guan: "It can be said that these boatmen are working hard all night. If they do this every day, even Their bodies are made of iron, and I'm afraid they won't be able to support them, so I wonder what Mr. Ding can do to save the boatman from being so tired?"

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Li is sympathetic to his subordinates, and I am grateful. I have handed over the matter of sailing the boat to the boss of the boat. These boat bosses are all veterans. Arranging the boatmen under him to steer the boat day and night will not make them too busy." Don't worry if you're too tired, Uncle Li."

Hearing Ding Guan's words, Li Qiufeng felt relieved, nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding handled it properly, but Mr. Li thinks too much."

Ding Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Li is too modest. As the saying goes, there are specializations in art, such things as sailing and sailing, naturally the boss of the boat will do it. Uncle Li is a person who does big things, of course he will not worry about these small things. Thinking too much."

The two stood on the deck and chatted, quite speculative.Li Qiufeng said: "It's no wonder Mr. Yang thinks so much of Mr. Ding. Today's conversation with Mr. Ding is just listening to what you have to say, which is better than reading ten years of books."

Ding Guanlian said he didn't dare, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Li's ridiculous praise, I'm ashamed. I originally thought that Uncle Li was a scribe, but it was only when I saw Uncle Li displaying his supernatural power last night that I realized that Uncle Li has amazing talents. Ye. If I had known that Uncle Li is so powerful, I would never have invited the Fei family and his son. Before this, I was bragging in front of Uncle Li and bragging for the Fei family. I really don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and I made Uncle Li laugh."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Fei's father and son are not weak in martial arts, so we should not underestimate them. With their help, we can save a lot of trouble. Among other things, if there is no Fei's father and son, the three big boats at this time There is no one in charge. If the people of Fusang start a disturbance, they will not be able to suppress it with only a few boatmen and boxers."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Mr. Ding, you have been to Fusang several times, so you are quite familiar with the situation in Fusang country. Li wants to ask you for advice. Fusang is just an overseas country. Why does this small country dare to embarrass the country of the Central Plains repeatedly? Who are the Lord of Fusang and the ministers? Are the people of Fusang treacherous and difficult to get along with?"
