“Go to the sea??”
The remaining soldiers looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
They obviously don't understand what this so-called "going to the sea" means.
Ye Qiu didn't show off, and continued to explain patiently:
“You’ve always heard of the sea, right?”
The soldiers heard this and nodded immediately.
"I've heard about it. It's said to be a big lake. It's a very big lake. It's much bigger than Lake Laba next to my home."
"I heard from the cake seller Lao Hei that the sea is as far as the eye can see, and there are even female fish without clothes in it!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu's expression froze slightly. He coughed lightly and said helplessly:
"Anyway, the sea is very big. I have never seen any female fish."
The other soldiers nodded and continued to ask:
"Then what does going into the sea mean? Even the women from Yuezhou go to the sea to bathe?"
"Little brother, you have such a good eye! Hehe..."
Listening to this lewd whisper, the expression on Ye Qiu's face became dull again.
But as the saying goes, take people's money to help them eliminate disasters. After collecting pine nuts from others, I have to talk about practical things.
So he ignored the booing from the other soldiers and continued:
"Anyway, your understanding is correct. In fact, not only women from Yuezhou, but also many women from overseas countries have also chosen to go to sea."
"They built a very big ship at sea. How big is it... It's probably as big as the granary behind us!"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of several soldiers couldn't help but freeze.
"Brother Ye, are you kidding us? How can a ship as big as a granary be built by humans?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and said:
"They are not from us. I heard that they were purchased from another group of people by overseas countries."
The other soldiers nodded, they could barely accept this explanation.
Seeing that no one asked any more questions, Ye Qiu continued to preach:
"On this big ship, it is said that there are thousands of women going into the sea. They wear a very special kind of clothing. It seems that they are said to be able to seduce the souls of men with just one look."
Hearing this, the soldiers' eyes widened.
"Seductive? Could it be that all those women who go to sea become fairies?"
"Brother Ye, you are really extraordinary. You can escape from a place full of fairies. You are so young and promising!"
Hearing the compliments from the soldiers, Ye Qiu couldn't help but blush.
"Ahem... Actually, I haven't been on it either. I heard that you have to pay at least one hundred taels of silver to get on the boat."
"One hundred taels!?"
The soldiers' eyes widened again with shock on their faces.
"Are these rich people out of their minds? They spent so much money to die in a goblin cave. Are the thoughts of rich people so strange?"
"Do you think... is it possible that the goblins on this boat only absorb Yang energy and do not seek wealth or harm?"
One of the soldiers stared and asked in confusion.
Ye Qiu glanced at the soldier in surprise, but continued:
"I think this brother's idea is reliable, because I have seen with my own eyes that people actually got off that big ship."
"It's just that... all the people who get off the boat have frivolous steps, sallow complexions, and sunken eye sockets. They look like they are lacking in yang energy."
"I see, then this big ship is really a dangerous place!"
The other soldiers heard this and nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, the soldier who had raised objections spoke again.
"You think...how do these female fairies absorb Yang Qi? Could it be...with their mouths?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the soldiers' faces changed again.
They seemed to have thought of something, their cheeks were red and they were breathing heavily.
"If I don't want to take human life, I would like to go up there and slay demons!"
"Me too..."
Gradually, the topics of conversation among the soldiers changed. While chatting, we came across Qunfang Tower in the capital.
A few people were chatting in a lively manner when they suddenly saw Ye Qiu being pushed aside, so they asked:
"Brother Ye, have you ever heard of Qunfang Tower in the capital?"
"Qunfang Building, I've heard of it. I stayed there for a while..."
Ye Qiu nodded, but there was a look of aftertaste on his cheeks.
In fact, my family background is pretty good. When I first arrived in the capital, I had a few hundred taels of silver.
The money was originally pocket money given to him by his father, so that after he finished his career in the world, he would come back and inherit the family business.
However, people's hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are dangerous.
As soon as he arrived in the capital, he was taken to Qunfang Tower by a beautiful and charming elder sister.
Then……
For a whole ten days,
Ye Qiu saw the dangers of people's hearts and understood the hardships of the world.
Those poor young ladies, they just lost their husbands and devoted themselves to spiritual practice...
What's wrong with them?
I couldn't stand the world, so I wanted to help them overcome their difficulties.
Unexpectedly, he died before leaving the army.
He didn't help much, but all his money was spent.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu could only sigh lightly. So what if you go hungry along the way? With a chivalrous heart, I must rescue those young ladies from their misery.
However, in the eyes of the soldiers, Ye Qiu was not feeling pity, but was recalling the feeling of being in Qunfang Tower.
One of the soldiers smiled widely and said,
"Brother Ye seems to be a sweetheart. After the siege of Wucheng is resolved, why don't you try our brothel?"
"When the time comes, I'll treat you to my brother!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu came back to his senses.
His eyes brightened, but then dimmed again.
"I don't have much money on me now..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud arrow suddenly shot out of the sky!
The next moment, the soldier who had just shouted for a treat was directly pierced through the chest by a loud arrow.
He opened his mouth wide, with the smile still on his face, and struggled to spit out two words.
"Enemy, attack!"
At the same time, a heavily armed Houjin team came towards the granary!
It has to be said that the people Wu Jing arranged to guard the granary were all the best among the best.
After discovering the enemy attack, he quickly came to his senses, immediately found a bunker, picked up his bow and arrow and started to fight back.
As a warrior, Ye Qiu's body is naturally much more flexible than others.
But since he couldn't figure out the depth of the enemy, he had no choice but to avoid the edge temporarily.
All of a sudden, there was a continuous sound of arrows breaking through the air.
With just a cup of tea, the arrows on the elite side of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all empty.
However, the Houjin people seemed to be well prepared, and Yujian's offensive did not slow down at all.
At the same time, a group of fully armed Houjin infantry came over with shields raised.
"Brother Ye, you are so dexterous, how many thieves can you possibly see clearly?"
