The next day and night.
Lu Sheng was thinking about the next plan in the house. The knock on the door made him raise his eyebrows and said calmly:
"come in."
A creak.
Captain Huang carefully opened the door and knelt down with a flattering smile on his face.
"Sir, we have arrived at Liangzhou Pier."
Nodding, Lu Sheng threw some gold over at random and lightly opened his thin lips:
"This is the shipping fee. Isn't Captain Huang familiar with Liangzhou? Please arrange a carriage for me to go to Lin County."
After receiving the gold, Captain Huang was greatly surprised. He had thought that his previous offense would only make sense if his senior did not give him the money. He did not expect that this senior would be so principled.
But he didn't dare to accept it and pushed the gold to Lu Sheng again. Captain Huang shook his hand and said with a look of shame:
"You can't do it! Senior, I can't accept this money. If you accept it, I'm sorry for my ethics. Please take it back, senior!"
Seeing his firm attitude, Lu Sheng couldn't persuade him any more and grabbed the gold back. If he didn't want it, just don't take it.
"Little man, I know a fleet manager in Liangzhou. I have known him for more than ten years. Once we pass the dock, I will invite him to come and see you."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Captain Huang thought of Lu Sheng's words just now, patted his chest and said politely.
With the corner of his mouth raised, Lu Sheng took a package and walked out of the dormitory with Captain Huang.
After descending the stairs, he could faintly hear the noisy and chaotic sounds of people and the "clatter" of some ships going out to sea.
Bang.
The hull of the boat trembled, and the men on the wooden boat swayed. Some of them fell to the ground due to weight loss. Lu Sheng's body was as stable as an iron tower and was not affected in any way.
"Arrived in Liangzhou!"
The guys' eyes were bloodshot, with heavy dark circles clinging to their eyelids, making them look weak.
Their voices were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts. This journey was too long and too tiring. Fortunately, they finally made it through.
Holding on to the railing, Captain Huang looked haggard, and the stubble on his chin was slightly white.
Looking at the dock getting closer and closer, his frown finally relaxed.
Calling the guys, lowering the sails and packing up the items on the boat, he and a few people pulled a thick iron chain and locked it firmly in the iron ring on the river bank.
Leaving a few guys to keep an eye on the boat, he took Lu Sheng ashore. A friend nearby who was sailing with him smiled and asked him how his trip was.
With a few simple words, he led Lu Sheng out of the crowded pier.
Liangzhou is close to the vast sea and is a place that relies on the sea for its livelihood.
After leaving the pier, there were many people with different skin colors walking on the street. Some of them had aqua blue pupils, some had brown pupils, but there were still more people with black pupils.
This is normal. After all, this place is the border between the two countries. There are some foreigners who are not surprising.
A little girl with big aqua eyes was carrying some exquisite pastries and looked pitifully at Captain Huang, hoping that he would buy some.
"La Siwa, I bought it!"
Captain Huang clasped his hands together, murmured something, took out some broken silver from his pocket, and took the cake.
The little girl jumped up happily and sold two more copies. Her grandma would definitely praise her. She lowered her head and her little face was pious:
"La Siwa."
After saying that, the little girl smiled, turned around, and continued looking for buyers while carrying the cakes in the bamboo basket.
After looking at the two green bamboo joints in his hand, Captain Huang handed one to Lu Sheng.
"Sir, this is a traditional local delicacy made by bamboo people, bamboo tube cake. You can try it. It tastes quite good."
Touching the bamboo joints, Lu Sheng felt some residual warmth. When he opened the bamboo pieces, a fresh fragrance floated over, making people feel peaceful.
Holding the end of the bamboo stick, he poured the pastry inside into his mouth. Suddenly, the soft and delicious taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue.
"good."
This is a kind of delicacy that Lu Sheng has never tasted before, and it feels quite novel.
Captain Huang, who looked happy, handed the remaining bamboo tube to Lu Sheng.
Shaking his head, Lu Sheng spoke calmly:
"Don't forget about business."
As soon as he patted his head, the smile on Captain Huang's face disappeared. He quickly found a horse-drawn carriage for the adults, and the two of them walked through the streets.
Entering a slightly prosperous urban area, there are rows of shops on both sides of the official road. Flags of different colors are stuck straight on the walls, with some slogans to attract customers written on them.
The two of them walked into a shop with the name "Dalang Car Shop" written on it. As soon as they entered, Captain Huang greeted the clerk inside.
After a few words with the clerk, the clerk hurriedly ran upstairs. After a while, a strong middle-aged man came down from the stairs.
"Hey, what brought you here?"
The middle-aged man smiled.
"Hey, Lin Dalang, this is Grandmaster Zhang. You must treat him well."
Stretching out his palm, Captain Huang looked serious.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Dalang was stunned. A divine figure like the Grand Master would actually come to him? !
He glanced at the man in white next to his friend in surprise.
The man was calm and composed, his face was calm, and his whole body exuded an invisible aura.
There was no need for his friend to lie to him. He believed most of it at once and subconsciously asked:
"Senior, we need to go to Lin County."
At this time of year, his shop's business is very booming, and many martial artists from other places will go to Lin County to participate in some competition.
Nodding, Lu Sheng said:
"Let's go immediately."
After giving his best friend a wink, Captain Huang held the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
In response, Lin Dalang smiled and said:
"Okay, senior, wait a moment, I'll prepare the carriage and horses."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"You go."
Lu Sheng threw a few gold coins to Captain Huang with a calm voice.
Looking at the gold in his hand, Captain Huang felt it was hot and waved his hand repeatedly:
"Sir, I can't ask for this. Being able to do things for you is a blessing earned by a villain in eight lifetimes!"
"Take it."
Lu Sheng's voice was slightly colder.
Upon hearing this, Captain Huang accepted the gold and clasped his fists sincerely.
"Senior...take care!"
After saluting, he kowtowed heavily on the floor three times. The kowtow was not only about the person, but also the attitude.
Feeling the footsteps getting further and further away, Lu Sheng sat on the chair. Gold and silver were no longer of much use to him.
Doing something that suits your heart is very helpful for your spiritual practice.
The time for half a stick of incense has passed.
He got into a carriage, and Lin Dalang sat at the front of the carriage and drove the best horse in the carriage with a whip.
With hurried hooves, an ordinary carriage came out of the city gate.
After driving around for a few days, the carriage stopped at an intersection. There was a stone slab inserted at the intersection with the words "Lin County" engraved on it.
"Senior, I wish you good luck. There are soldiers from the imperial court in front of you. I don't dare to go, Dalang."
Lin Dalang looked a little guilty.
"This is the fare, just go ahead."
Taking out a piece of money, Lu Sheng was about to throw it to him.
At this time, Lin Dalang showed a simple and honest smile.
"Senior, Captain Huang gave it to me."
After finishing speaking, he took the horse, turned the car, left a word and left.
"Senior, take care!"
With a faint smile, Lu Sheng tapped his toes, and his figure turned into a white shadow and appeared on a big tree.
