[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 6

When Lu Xiaofeng came to the pier, Ying Tianfu was inland and not near the sea. It was not easy to find a place with a pier and a fishing boat. If the boatman's destination was Feixian Island in the South China Sea, it would be even more difficult. .

Although it is difficult, it is not absolutely impossible. There is a big ship in the port where he is located. The boss of the ship is instructing the crew to load the goods. Their faces are full of hope for the future. Because of this hope, even if the work is hard and tiring, I didn't think it was too hard.

Lu Xiaofeng approached and asked, "Are you going to Feixian Island?" Although he was asking, he was confident.

The boatman looked back at him and said, "That's right, we're going to Feixian Island."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can you give me an extra ride?"

The boatman said with a smile: "Do you want to be a living person or a cargo."

Lu Xiaofeng also smiled, and asked, "What's the difference between a living person and a cargo?"

The boatman pointed to the shabby broken cabin and said, "It's for living people to live there." Someone pointed to another magnificent ship with a deep draft. There, it is for the goods to live."

Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes wide. He had heard not many strange things, but there were also many. But in his eyes, people are generally much more valuable than goods, because people have life, but goods have no life.

Lu Xiaofeng is a person who loves life very much, and the people who became friends with Hua Manlou are more or less full of love for life.

So Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want to be a commodity."

He knows how to enjoy it. From the port to Feixian Island, the days of wandering on the sea are not short. Compared with hunched over in a dilapidated and dirty fishing boat, he would rather be accompanied by a ship of goods, blowing the sea breeze freely, watching Blue sky and white clouds.

The boatman said: "Okay, it costs 50 taels to deliver the goods."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay." Then he took a piece of silver and slapped it on the boatman's hand.

However, the boatman did not take back his palm, he held his hand firmly and said: "Wrong."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's wrong."

The boatman said, "It's not 50 taels of silver, it's 50 taels of gold."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you think it's worth 50 taels of gold to go to Feixian Island?" He didn't speak loudly against the opponent's lion, even if he was asking, his gesture was friendly.

The boatman said: "50 taels of silver is the price of a living person, and the goods are 50 taels of gold." His attitude was obvious, and he would not give up. The living are in the cabin.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said: "Okay." He took out 50 taels of gold from his cloth pocket, it's hard to imagine that anyone would put a golden ingot in an old and old rag pocket, but Lu Xiaofeng was one of them.

The boatman's hand was still steady, he returned 50 taels of silver to the young man, and took another 50 taels of gold, as if gold and silver made no difference to him.

For a boatman, his attitude was too calm. After all, it was 50 taels of gold. Unless he was a wealthy man, few people would not shake their hands when they took so much money.

The boatman also put 50 taels of gold into an inconspicuous cloth pocket, which was bulging and looked solid. Presumably there were not only 50 taels of gold in it, but even 100 taels and 200 taels of gold.

The boatman glanced at the young man in front of him, seeing that there was no reluctance or other negative emotions in his eyes, his eyelids twitched, and he comforted him lightly: "When you get to Feixian Island, you will know that 50 taels of gold is nothing. "

"There's gold everywhere."

It may be an exaggeration to say that Feixian Island is full of gold, but the residence of the Lord of Baiyun must be more precious than the Golden House. A random vase may be an antique hundreds of years ago.

Standing in the overly expensive room, Lang Yue's expression was not very good. Although her air-conditioning was not as strong as Ye Gucheng's, it seemed that there was a faint layer of frost around her.

Miss Yue is the most important contact between Jin Mingmie and Baiyun City. She even just came back from the capital after checking the account. The fat pigeon on the back heel brought bad news. Of course she was in a bad mood. of.

She directly bent her knees, bowed her head in front of Ye Gucheng and said, "It's my dereliction of duty."

Ye Gucheng didn't say yes or no, he carefully chewed the contents of the note several times, and said: "First look at the goods in the warehouse."

No one knows how valuable a jewelry store is. Since ancient times, women's business is the best. Whether it's a lady in the boudoir or a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, everyone loves beauty and jewelry.

Women buy jewelry to dress themselves up, and men buy jewelry for women. This is the truth from ancient times to the present.

The destruction of a family of Jinming brings immeasurable profits to Baiyun City every year, and the gold is carried back to Feixian Island one by one, and no one knows except the person who handled it.

So now there is a problem, the shopkeeper died, it must not be suicide, if it was homicide, what is the reason?

The title of King Nan flashed across Ye Gucheng's mind.

He lives overseas and hardly gets involved in the martial arts in the Central Plains. As for the hidden stakes in those shops, it is very difficult for the immortals outside the sky to make enemies. Most of his enemies are in Fusang, but these days, Fusang People who want to enter the Central Plains have to spend a lot of effort. As for killing the shopkeeper of a famous shop, I'm afraid they don't have the ability.

Motivated and capable, in his impression there was only the Nanwang Mansion, which he had previously hated, but there was another problem. How did Nanwang determine that Jin Mingmie belonged to him?

A guess is a guess, and a certainty is a certainty. To have such a big shop in Yingtianfu, the water behind it is not so deep. The nine bends and eighteen bends have been opened up to pile up the title of the world's number one jewellery. For legitimate reasons, I will not act rashly.

That's OK?Ye Gucheng remained calm, where did he get the news.

Lu Xiaofeng felt that his 50 taels of gold were not in vain.

He was lying comfortably on the position of the goods, with bundles of valuable silk piled up behind him.

Feixian Island may not be bad for pearls, gold or coral, but these rare silk silk unique to the Central Plains must be bad, because they don't have so much land and not so many people.

Food, cloth, and even wood had to be imported from outside, because the sea line to Fusang had been opened up, and Baiyun City was not short of food, but cloth would definitely be popular.

Exchanging less expensive cloth for gold, silver and jewelry is really a good deal. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but admire. He himself is not a businessman, but it doesn't mean he can't figure out the key to it. It's nothing more than buying at a low price and selling at a high price. The means of breeding goods that have been developed are full of money wisdom.

"!" The ship shook violently, throwing Lu Xiaofeng, who was lying comfortably, off the pile of cloth.

Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows, his lightness kung fu is a little better than most people in the martial arts world. Although the shaking of the boat threw him out of the air, just a few seconds was enough for him to adjust his posture and land safely.

Just as the tip of his toe touched the ground, there was another violent shock. If the bottom of the boat hadn't been solid and there were no holes, it would probably have been thought that it had hit a rock.

Lu Xiaofeng ran out from the cabin, the deck was outside, and the deck was empty, without any goods. He was not a person who traveled on the sea all the year round, but he also knew that some dockers would pile up the docks to the brim in order to load more cargo. Seeing that there was nothing, obviously, the boatman had expected the current situation.

Lying on the mast, you can see large and small eddies connected together on the water surface. The shaking of the ship is undoubtedly because the edge touched the small eddies.

Around Feixian Island, there are large and small whirlpools.

Only experienced boatmen dare to open up this route, and the goods they transport must be some good goods.

Lu Xiaofeng hugged the mast, was jolted terribly, and finally understood why the boats for people are smaller and older than those for cargo.Small in size, they can accurately avoid any vortex. Whether the cargo ship is large or large, a small vortex can be dragged out of the small vortex, but the feeling of dizziness is not something ordinary people can bear.

He looked around, and finally found a few complete wooden boards, which had already been scattered into a ball due to the impact of the vortex. Lu Xiaofeng picked up those boards, and with a skillful movement of his hands, they were broken into countless small pieces.

He spotted the waves, threw the first plank with precision, jumped off the magnificent ship, lightly tapped the plank with his toes, and threw out the second plank with a raised hand.

After going back and forth in this way, there are only a few drifting pieces of wood left in the sea, and they are all swallowed up by the devouring waves in just a few breaths.

Lu Xiaofeng's men had already stopped on the deck of the wrecked ship.

Chuanjia is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, but he has never seen such exquisite lightness kung fu. Lu Xiaofeng's lightness kung fu can be ranked among the top three in the martial arts world, and only he can jump up and down so delicately in the stormy sea.

Lu Xiaofeng's clothes were wet by the waves, and he became a veritable Lu Xiaoji. He was still a wet chicken. He looked at the boatman and smiled wryly, "It's better to live in a boat."

The boatman laughed and said, "Can't hold the cargo ship anymore?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can't stop."

Rao is such a smart person, he will miscalculate.

The road on the sea is difficult. When Lu Xiaofeng gets his feet on the ground again, he can't wait to take off his shoes and kiss the wet ground with his toes. It's not that he hasn't been on the sea road before. He has run almost all of the more than a dozen water canals in the south. As for the islands , In the first half of his legendary life, he had to have a chance.

But there was never a time when he wandered longer and had more vortexes than on his way to Feixian Island.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's no wonder it's called Feixian Island, I'm afraid only immortals can find this treasure safely."

The boatman laughed, a sneer, and said, "Then you are not a fairy?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course I am not, and I don't want to be."

Being a fairy is a very lonely and lonely thing. He can see heaven when he looks up, but he can't bear the loneliness of heaven. When he arrives at the fairy island, Lu Xiaofeng just wants to find the best restaurant here and order a pot of the best. Wine, paired with two or three appetizers, this kind of life can't be exchanged even if he is a fairy.

The boatman said: "Of course you are not a fairy." He laughed again, "I have only seen one fairy in this world."

Lu Xiaofeng came to the spirit, a fairy, always makes people have a lot of daydreams, he said: "Who is it?"

The boatman said, "City Master Baiyun."

After getting off the boat, but not going any further, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his two extra eyebrows like a baby, and looked around.

Baiyun City has strict inspections of goods, and the port is full of martial arts practitioners, all of whom have piercing eyes, bunts can't hide their bulging muscles, and their skin is tanned by the strong sunlight by the sea.

It is difficult for people who do not belong to Baiyun City to imagine why martial arts practitioners would do such work, but once they get used to it, they don’t care about it. There are too many things on the island that go against their understanding. Since it is a business, as long as there are pearls in front of them It is enough to combine a series of things that are usually invisible with coral.

Gold is everywhere, and you can pick it up when you bow your head.

Everyone who has just arrived at Feixian Island can't help but look around like Lu Xiaofeng, because this place is really amazing and different.

It is a small island, but the size of the port is quite astonishing. It is located at the southernmost tip of Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally bordered by other small affiliated countries. Lu Xiaofeng has already seen at least a few people who do not belong to Ming Dynasty. among.

Martial arts practitioners walked in front of them, wearing uniforms. Their duty was to maintain order in the port. A port of this size should be chaotic.

The goods were inspected by special personnel. Although there were many people, Lu Xiaofeng looked back and forth and found that all the procedures were clear and well-organized. This small Baiyun City actually had more regulations than the Jiangnan waterway.

The admiration in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes was captured by the boatman, a person who has been wandering at sea all year round is always talkative, he said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Baiyun City is very different."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded happily and said, "Yes."

The boatman asked, "Have you ever seen such an orderly port?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "No."

The boatman refers to a young man in a uniform. His expression is very serious, or rather cold. Most of the young men here have the same straight face as him. This kind of expression can easily remind Lu Xiaofeng of his other My friend, Ximen Chuuxue with the same stern face.

The boatman said: "Looking at the expression on his face, can you guess where he came from?"

Lu Xiaofeng imagined the famous sects in the Central Plains. However, the disciples from the martial arts sect may be arrogant and look at people with their chins, but they are not necessarily serious and cold, so he shook his head and said: "I can't guess .”

The boatman was finally satisfied. He knew from the beginning that the young man would not be able to guess, and announced, "They came from Baiyun City."

Lu Xiaofeng also laughed, this answer has to be said to be very subtle, there is Baiyun City on Feixian Island, and all the islanders are the citizens of Baiyun City.

The boatman seems to have played a word game.

The boatman said mysteriously, "I'm not talking about Baiyun City on Feixian Island." He said, "It's the mansion where the owner of Baiyun City lives."

"City Lord Baiyun?" Lu Xiaofeng could not help but respect him, he said, "It's Ye Gucheng from 'Flying Immortal Beyond the Sky'."

The boatman said: "That's right."

As a runner in the South China Sea, he doesn't need to know about Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuuxue, or anyone who is famous in Jianghu, but he definitely has to know about Ye Gucheng.

If you don't know Ye Gucheng, you can't do business on Feixian Island. As for the sword light of Baiyun City Lord, who looks like a flying fairy outside the sky, you have already heard about it seventeen or eight times in restaurants.

In Baiyun City, even the little beggars on the side of the road know that Ye Gucheng passed by with his sword a few times, although a few years ago, beggars have disappeared from this small island.

It was not surprising that Lu Xiaofeng knew him, because he was a very well-informed person, but his understanding of Ye Gucheng was not due to the spread of gossip, but a friend of his.

The man said: "Ye Gucheng's sword, I am afraid that only Ximen Chuuxue can compare with it."

Lu Xiaofeng has many friends with a wide range of friends. Among them are martial arts masters and newcomers to the martial arts. But he was very discerning. He said that if Ye Gucheng could fight Ximen Chuuxue, then he could really fight Ximen Chuuxue.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "City Lord Baiyun must be a very cold person."

A master, especially a master with a sword, is always proud and lonely, like the white snow on the top of a mountain, he can touch the sky as soon as he stretches out his hand, that is what he can see, the scenery in the sky.

The boatman said: "He is probably a very cold person." He paused and said, "But he is also a very lovable person."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his beard-shaped eyebrows. Although Ximen Chuixue is his friend, he is not a very lovable person. Except for Jian Chi, who would like a sword?

Ximen Chuuxue is a sword!

He changed his mind, if Ye Gucheng is lovable, then he should be less like Ximen Chuuxue, because he is not just a human-like sword.

The inspection on Feixian Island is very strict, even stricter than the boatman's previous visits. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he showed a hearty and simple smile unique to sea people to the little brother beside him and said: "Today is Is there a problem?"

The man glanced at him, his expression was still serious and cold, but his attitude was very good, he said: "Today is a special day."

The boatman understood it as soon as he heard it: "Is it the day when the city lord goes out?"

The man said: "Yes." There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, just because he heard that name!

The boatman said to Lu Xiaofeng: "You really picked a good day."

Lu Xiaofeng is a smart person. He has learned that in Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng is the only one who can be called the city lord, but he still doesn't understand why the people are so excited when the city lord goes out. To give an inappropriate example, like Chunri Before the arrival of the spring outing singers on the Qinhuai River, when the flower shop carrying them was on the upper reaches of the river, not only the river, but also the banks were full of people.

Ximen Chuuxue also goes out every year, at most four times, but it does not attract crowds of people. Even if people know where he is going, they will not follow him like a party, just because he is Ximen Chuuxue.

Seeing the polite smile on Lu Xiaofeng's face, the boatman sighed and said, "I know you're not interested. In fact, before I saw City Lord Baiyun, I wasn't very interested in him either."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, in fact he was very interested in Baiyun City Lord, but he didn't know why he attracted so many people's attention when he went out.

That's an interesting thing in itself, isn't it?

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer, the boatman said, "But you really should see him, you only have one chance a month, the Lord of Baiyun City is a rare figure in the world."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How rare is it?"

The boatman said: "When you see him, you will never forget him."

I don't know when, Baiyun City had such an unwritten rule that at the end of the month, the Lord of Baiyun City would patrol the streets.

In fact, he was just walking aimlessly, looking at the city under his rule, what was missing, what was missing, but with Ye Gucheng's eyes, he could know the general idea.

Nothing in this world can hide from his eyes.

For the people of Baiyun City, the day when the city lord goes out at the end of the month is their only chance to have close contact with the city lord once a month. The excitement in their hearts is quite surging, and they can't wait to reveal their naked heart , holding it in front of Ye Gucheng.

As I said before, Ye Gucheng is very popular in Baiyun City. If you use an analogy, he is a phenomenal superstar, and the people below are all terrible fans. He exhausted all his strength and stuffed himself into the very center of Baiyun City, and went to work for their dear city lord.

The rest of the people are not crazy to the point of having illegitimate meals, but whenever the city lord goes out, he inevitably puts on his best clothes and welcomes him along the way. The girl in Huaichun even carries flowers and silk with her, and the excitement cannot be contained When they lived, they smashed these flower silks like Ye Gucheng, which is quite Wei and Jin style.

Although Ye Gucheng is cold, he has warmth for his people. He never tramples on women's flowers and silk, and has a maidservant behind him to help him clean them up. When he circles around Baiyun City, the flowers he receives can be Open a small shop.

It is even richer than the small building full of flowers.

Lu Xiaofeng sat in the restaurant and listened to the boatman's vivid description of the grand occasion when he happened to see the lord of Baiyun leaving the city last time. Said: "It sounds like he is a man who is very attractive to women."

Men always hate people who are more attractive to women than themselves, but Lu Xiaofeng is not like that, he is romantic and thick-skinned, there are really not many people in this world who are more attractive to women than him.

He said this not because of jealousy but because of curiosity. Lu Xiaofeng knew that swordsmen of Ximen Chuuxue's level rarely attracted women's liking.

Because they are no longer human beings, but immortals and gods.

The boatman said: "He may not be very popular with women outside, but the women in Baiyun City love him to death."

While the two were talking, there was no one in the restaurant. People on the second floor ran to the windows to peek their heads, not to mention those on the first floor, even the cook squeezed to the side of the road with a kitchen knife.

Even if a girl throws a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives, it will not be more grand than this.

The boatman also put down his chopsticks, it was a rare chance to see City Lord Baiyun, he didn't want to miss it, Lu Xiaofeng was the only one who was still wholeheartedly eating peanuts.

The fairy who is liked by women, he couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.

Lu Xiaofeng felt that Ye Gucheng must be a very interesting person, and he always liked to meet those very interesting people.

Lu Xiaofeng's friends are all over the world.

So he also went out, huddling along the crowded street, just to catch a glimpse of Baiyun City Lord.

It is really the first martial arts master to do what he does.

Ye Gucheng, who was parading through the streets: "..."

So he doesn't like to go out, because it's too troublesome to go out every time.

Afterwards, the people of Baiyun City joined the way to welcome them, and in front of them, a beautiful maid sprinkled flower petals to clear the way. He had to say that this was really not his arrangement, and he didn't want to use the fragrance of flowers to cover up that he was not injured, and there was nothing shocking about it. Big conspiracy, why do you have to be so grand when you go out?

The nerdy thoughts deep in his soul popped up again. Whenever he experienced such a big scene, he couldn't wait to return to his one-acre three-point land to practice swords.

Citizen A: Aww, the city lord is here!

Citizen B: Aww, the city lord is frowning!

Citizen C: Sisters, get ready to throw flowers!

There was another shower of flower petals in the sky, and the handsome but extraordinary young man walked in the rain of petals. His face showed a different kind of solemnity because of his stern expression. From a distance, it looked like he came from the Yellow River. A fairy who came from a distance between the white clouds and stepped on the clouds.

Lu Xiaofeng was staring at Ye Gucheng, at this moment, he suddenly wanted to make friends with the young man in front of him, this idea came so fast, when he realized it, it had already spread like weeds.

Ye Gucheng suddenly turned his head, his piercing gaze was unbiased, facing the young man with four eyebrows.

Lu Xiaofeng responded with a kind smile.

His smile is always for friends.
