Chapter 1582
"Yixuan, do you know where there is a ferry or bridge near here with a gentler flow?" Ye Xiu looked at Lin Yixuan who was also looking sad beside him and asked.

The Lin Family Fort is only two to three hundred miles away from here. Lin Yixuan, a local "native", should know much more about the environment here than Ye Xiu, a "outsider".

"If I remember correctly, there is a stone arch bridge about seven or eight miles upstream along the river bank for pedestrians on both sides of the river; more than ten miles downstream, there is a ferry where boats can ferry people to the opposite bank." Lin Yiruo Said thoughtfully.

"Is that so? Then let's go without delay." Ye Xiu urged.

"But Huang Zongzhu is not here now. I don't know if the place he said to meet with the genius doctor is upstream or downstream? If the meeting place is downstream, then we should not go upstream, which will take a long way." Lin Yixuan Said with a hesitant look.

Huang Menghu didn't follow Ye Xiu because something went wrong during the transportation of the body of the king of monsters, and he, the suzerain, had to stay on the spot to guide him. Ye Xiu and Lin Yixuan arrived before the Wuxiangzong brigade. on the bank of the Blackwater River.

However, Ye Xiu, who arrived at the shore first, encountered a little trouble. Before he got Huang Menghu's clear direction of the meeting place, he couldn't decide whether to go upstream or downstream.

"Hey, go back and tell your suzerain that Miss Lin and I have gone to the upper stone arch bridge first, and if he wants to go to the downstream ferry, he can send someone over to inform us." Ye Xiu didn't want to wait on the spot. So, he decided to try his luck, and first went to the upstream stone arch bridge to take a look.

The Tanma disciple who was responsible for contacting Wu Xiangzong respectfully agreed, and then rushed back to report the letter.

Ye Xiu looked at Lin Yixuan who was beside him with a surprised expression and said with a smile, "Let's go, my luck has always been very good."

"Hehe, if you guessed the wrong direction, we would have to travel more than ten miles back and forth for nothing." Lin Yixuan replied with a smile.

"Then would you like to gamble with me?" Ye Xiu had already walked out before he could finish his sentence.

Lin Yixuan followed quickly, and said with a smile, "If you lose the bet, I want you to carry me back."

"No way? Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?" Ye Xiu replied with a smile.

"Are you at a disadvantage? How can this girl make you suffer?" Lin Yixuan, with a confident and proud look on her face, puffed out her proud breasts in front of Ye Xiu, put her hands on her waist, and raised her head slightly. .

"You already have a thousand-mile horse, why do you need me to carry you? If someone sees you, they will mistake us for a pair of idiots. If you have a horse but don't ride it, you have to use it on your back." " Ye Xiu glanced at Rose Qianliju and said in a teasing tone.

"Hehe, a fool is just a fool, this girl is willing, who cares what they think. Don't use others as a shield, I just ask you, do you dare to accept it?" Lin Yixuan was determined. Xiu said with a confident expression.

"Well, since other girls are not afraid of gossip, or even being considered a fool, I, Ye Xiu, am a rough person with a thick skin, so why should I worry about it?" Ye Xiu smiled relaxedly. Replied.

Ye Xiu and Lin Yixuan chatted and laughed along the way, happily walking up the river bank.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiu could vaguely see a circular stone arch bridge stretching across the wide river in the distance, connecting the two banks.

Near the entrance of the stone arch bridge, a large group of people gathered, it seemed that they were arguing about some issues.

"Yixuan, if my guess is correct, the emerald caravan of your Lin Family Fort should have passed through this stone arch bridge, right?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Well, crossing the river here is far more convenient and safer than taking a ferry across the ferry." Lin Yixuan nodded in response.

"I've always been wondering, how much income do you Linjiabao get in this jadeite business in a year? There must be a lot of benefits in it, right?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"What? It's okay. The quality of jadeite provided by our Linjiabao has always been well-known. The top-grade jadeite is also the largest and most supplied by our Linjiabao. It has always been difficult to find a rival in the market." Lin Yixuan responded ambiguously.

"Your Lin Family Fort's jadeite business is so prosperous, isn't there anyone who is envious?" Ye Xiu continued to ask.

"Yes, why not? But those forces who tried to rob and grab business have been eliminated by us. These days, it is not an easy task to start a business safely." Lin Yixuan was quite emotional Said.

"I'm afraid Liuyunzong helped you solve a lot of trouble here, right?" Ye Xiu asked with a half-smile.

"It's natural. You and Liuyunzong are business partners in our Linjiabao. If there is a problem, they will help if they can." Lin Yixuan did not shy away from Ye Xiu, and admitted it openly The fact that Lin Jiabao was under the protection of Liuyunzong.

"Yixuan, it seems that we are not very lucky today." Ye Xiu said, looking at the head of the stone arch bridge ahead.

"Huh? Sect Master Huang sent someone to tell us to change the way?" Lin Yixuan subconsciously turned around and looked back, and asked.

"Hehe, this stone arch bridge may have been taken by someone." Ye Xiu patted Lin Yixuan's arm lightly and said with a smile.

"Ah? Impossible? The stone arch bridge has always been free to pass through." Lin Yixuan looked at the bridge head of the stone arch bridge in surprise, and asked suspiciously.

"You two, stop!" At this moment, two young men in gray jackets with simple knives on their waists stepped forward to stop Ye Xiu and Lin Yixuan, and shouted sharply.

"We just want to cross the bridge, not to cause trouble." Ye Xiu said to the two men in strong clothes with hostile faces.

"Hmph, from now on, there will be a toll for crossing the bridge! According to the person's head, each person will pay one silver coin for each pass!" One of the men in gray clothes snorted coldly, with a haughty look on his face, he stretched out a finger Head, said to Ye Xiu.

This stone arch bridge across the river is the only bridge across the Heishui River within a radius of [-] miles. Other than that, if you want to cross the river, you can only cross the river through a few scattered ferries. .

However, judging from the actions of this group of unknown forces occupying bridge tolls, since these people want to make this windfall, it is certain that most of the upstream and downstream ferry crossings that can cross the river are also forcibly occupied, otherwise their past How can bridge tolls be collected so happily?

Although each person only needs one silver coin each time to cross the bridge, it doesn’t look like much or expensive, but the number of pedestrians and merchants traveling between the two sides of the strait every day is too much. This is a great idea to make money without losing money. .
