Lao Li had no intention of taking Lu Sheng to queue. He walked directly to the front of the queue and shouted to the old man collecting boat money in front of the house:
"Hey, old man!"
While collecting the boat money from those people, the old man took out a wooden sign and gave it to them, asking them to enter the small door on the left.
Turning his head slightly, the old man said impatiently:
"Xiao Li, you don't have eyesight or something, you didn't see me busy!"
"Hahaha, old man, this uncle is here to charter a boat!"
When he looked at the old man, Old Li felt a little guilty, but when he thought of the identity of the person behind him, he immediately raised his head and shouted with pride.
After a pause, the old man stretched out his arm and waved his palm a few times to signal Lao Li to come over.
Holding the wooden baffle with one hand, Lao Li jumped over with his legs, leaned close to the old man's ear, and whispered:
"Old man! The guests are chartering a boat to Liangzhou. He is a master!"
After coughing and swallowing the old phlegm in his throat, the old man's eyelids trembled and he said:
"Xiao Li, come and greet me."
"Okay!"
Lao Li responded with a smile, took a booklet skillfully, and handed out wooden signs to those waiting in line.
After bypassing the crowd in front, the old man had an attentive smile on his face. He walked up to Lu Sheng, hunched over, cupped his fists and asked:
"Uncle, Xiao Li said, do you want to rent a boat to Liangzhou?"
Out of caution, the old man asked.
Lu Sheng nodded lightly and said:
"I like peace and quiet and don't like riding in the same boat with outsiders."
Walking with others can easily lead to trouble. It has been less than two months since the herb picking event started.
If he delays for a few more days, there may be hope of healing his eyes later.
The old man has lived for most of his life and has never seen anyone. He can often receive such a lone traveler. Everyone has their own preferences, so it is not surprising.
"I don't know, what is your name?"
Bending down, the spine on the old man's back was almost protruding.
"I'm Zhang Dapeng."
Lu Sheng smiled calmly.
After laughing, the old man said flatteringly:
"Uncle Zhang, what a great name! Dapeng spreads its wings. Uncle, you are the fairy golden-winged Dapeng in the storybook. As soon as you spread your wings, you will become an immortal!"
These words touched Lu Sheng's heart. Whether in his previous life or now, he was extremely interested in seeking immortality.
Without wasting any more time, the old man led him into the wooden house and opened a small door. Behind the door was a riverbank covered with strange rocks.
The foaming river water lapped on the shore, and then retreated into the bottomless water as if exhausted.
Several wooden sailing ships were moored on the shore, and a group of people stood there, many carrying baggage and cargo, anxiously waiting for the return of the new ships.
Lu Sheng and the two walked to the shore. The old man's eyes fell on a wooden boat on the river bank. The wooden boat had obviously just returned and the owner was about to lock it up.
The old man had an idea and shouted to the middle-aged man on the boat:
"Boy Huang! The man who chartered the boat is here!"
The wind on the shore was a bit strong, and the water waves rolled from time to time. The middle-aged man didn't hear it and just picked up an iron lock.
After shouting several times at the top of his lungs, the middle-aged man turned around, put down the iron chain, and waved to the old man from a distance.
"Hey, Master Zhang! Let's go!"
Rubbing his arms, the old man pinched his nose, squeezed out the snot inside, threw it on the stone, and carefully bent over and walked to Lu Sheng's left.
Stepping on the jumbled stones, Lu Sheng's steps were steady and he turned a deaf ear to the old man's kind reminder.
Not long after, they walked to the river. The middle-aged man stood on the bow of the boat and looked at them with a smile.
"Old man Li, is this the distinguished guest you mentioned?"
The middle-aged man's rude behavior did not make the old man angry. Instead, he smiled:
"How can this be an honored guest? Uncle! Uncle Zhang! I have chartered a boat to go to Liangzhou, Xi Jing! Mr. Huang, please greet me better."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the uncle that Old Man Li was talking about and found that he had a strong physique, a gauze on his face, and a cold temperament all over his body, which gave people a sense of distance.
It seems that he is in his early twenties and his martial arts skills should not be much higher.
Old Li Tou and his son have a vicious eye on people, so they should not be mistaken about what kind of noble person this person is.
He had just sent a boatload of people to Liangzhou. He was very tired on the way. He originally wanted to come back and enjoy it for a few days, but now it seems that he can't do it.
However, who is willing to give up when encountering a profitable business.
Moreover, it was a one-man charter, so there wasn't that much trouble. He liked this kind of business.
"Uncle Zhang! I am familiar with the road to Liangzhou! Please get on the boat."
Captain Huang smiled and said hello to some boatmen. A dozen people waved their oars, trying to swing the boat over.
"No need."
After speaking two words in a faint tone, Lu Sheng put his hands behind his back, lightly touched his right foot on the stone, and turned into a white shadow that gently floated over.
Dressed in snow-white clothes, with flowing sleeves, he looks like a famous person.
His dim old eyes flashed, and Old Li Tou couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding:
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I have never seen this elegant Qinggong in my entire life. It really opened my eyes."
The nearby crowd noticed this scene, all of them looked shocked, and subconsciously applauded with waves of applause.
Captain Huang and his crew retracted their oars and saluted respectfully to the white shadow that had just landed on the bow.
He is not stupid. He has such powerful Qinggong. This person should have the strength of a first-class master. This kind of person is a great master in the martial arts world. He would never dare to offend him.
In Wei State, the status of warriors is more noble than that of ordinary people. Even if you are a wealthy businessman, you will not dare to belittle or insult a warrior who has become a leader.
The people present may never see a first-class master in their lifetime. It is normal for the scene of martial arts display to cause a huge sensation.
Lu Sheng's mind was at peace. The cool wind was blowing in front of him, his hair was flying, and his white clothes were blown close to his body, revealing his strong and burly body, as steady as a mountain.
"Uncle Zhang! Little Huang Kun, these are my boatmen. If anything happens, just instruct them and me."
"I'll find you a dormitory right now."
Huang Kun smiled cheerfully and asked his boatman to wave the paddle to adjust the direction. He stretched out a hand and asked Lu Sheng to follow him.
Suddenly, an extremely sarcastic voice came.
"Hey, you, your Excellency is so grand!"
His body stiffened, and Captain Huang turned around, his slender eyes moving.
There were three people standing on the shore, a handsome young man on the left, a delicate girl on the right, and a menacing white-haired woman in the middle.
The sound just now was made by that boy.
The young man was dressed in luxurious clothes, and he looked like a person of high status. He was quite dissatisfied with Lu Sheng's flashy behavior just now.
He is also a first-class master and a world-famous genius. He is so low-key, but this person is so high-profile. He really thinks he is a master who looks down on the world!
