After Tong Yuanzhixin discussed some details of the follow-up plan, Ye Ming left "Shu Min Pavilion", and Miao Tong quickly followed.
Ye Ming glanced at the bamboo sticks left in her hands and said with a smile:
"You've finished eating, why are you following me? You're not looking for the cat demon anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Miaotong threw the bamboo stick into the trash can and said:
"Of course I'm looking for the cat demon, but those two annoying guys are still there. What if they attack me again?"
"If they make a sneak attack, let them make a sneak attack. I won't be hurt anyway."
"You big bad guy, can't you think of me?"
"You are a disciple of Lihaiguan, don't you have any way to deal with it?"
"Those two guys' tricks are very powerful. It's like illusion, but not quite like it. It's very strange. In short, I can't stop them."
"What they use is not an illusion, but a rule."
"rule?"
"Yes, a rule of etiquette.
You should be lucky that Ma Cunyong's rules of etiquette can only affect your heart.
If Feng Xingping takes action, it can directly affect the real thing. "
"Ah, what should I do? Can this be dealt with?"
"It's not impossible. There are currently two methods."
"what way?"
“First, find out the loopholes in the rules and break them.
Second, establish a set of self-rules that you completely believe in, so that you can resist the other party's rules. "
Miaotong directly ignored the first method and asked:
“How do I establish my own rules?”
"To put it simply, you need to establish a complete set of principles first, and then stick to this principle yourself."
"Then tell me, what kind of principles should I establish?"
"Of course..."
"Stop, stop, I know what you're going to say.
Can you believe what you, a big liar, say? "
"believe or not."
"snort!"
"I almost forgot, you can actually have a third way to deal with it?"
"What?"
"When in danger, shout for help."
"You bad guy, you're entertaining me again!"
Regarding Miaotong's anger, Ye Ming just smiled and looked at the courtyard gate again.
Then I saw a clerk coming quickly and said:
"Mr. Shanyuan, something happened in Weichang County..."
...
Weichang County is the most prosperous county in Pingbo Prefecture. The biggest reason is that it has three large ports under its jurisdiction, and countless sea goods pass through it every day.
There were also many Yi and Di merchants from Nanyang Islands and Western countries doing business.
These people are accustomed to calling the country established by the Central Plains people the country of the Central Plains, or China for short.
The Yi and Di people were much behind compared to the Central Plains, which can be seen just from their ships.
For the Central Plains people, any medium-sized merchant ship is already a giant in their eyes.
If you see a warship, you will probably be exclaimed that it is a moving island.
These Yi and Di people yearned for the culture of the Central Plains and would often come by boat to trade and communicate.
The Central Plains people looked down upon these Yi and Di people, and scorned some of their customs that were different from the Central Plains people, thinking that they were barbaric and would attract evil spirits.
Today, many "large" merchant ships from the Yi and Di people docked at the port.
One of the ships was flying the flag of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The people of the Central Plains have always disliked the Rakshasa Kingdom, probably because in the legends of the Central Plains people, Rakshasa is a harmful thing, but the Rakshasa Kingdom regards Rakshasa as its patron saint, so it is naturally not liked by the Central Plains people.
The Rakshasa Kingdom admires the culture of the Central Plains people and has sent envoys to learn the culture of the Central Plains many times.
Up to now, the language, writing, clothing, surnames, etc. of the Rakshasa Kingdom are generally similar to those of the Central Plains.
Ruan Goudan, as the son of a big businessman from Rakshasa Kingdom, has been traveling between Longzhou and Rakshasa Kingdom with his father since he was a child.
His father was very fond of the Central Plains culture. When he was born, he spent a thousand taels of silver to find a scholar from the Jia family in Pingbo Prefecture to give him a name.
This scholar from the Jia family said that there is an excellent name that has never disappeared in the long history of the Central Plains culture and has survived to this day, symbolizing longevity and longevity.
Therefore, he got the name Ruan Goudan.
I heard that many people in the Central Plains have this name. Ruan Goudan and his son both felt that the thousand taels spent was well worth it. The Jia family university counselor was an honest and good person who took money to do things.
In fact, the appearance of the Rakshasa people is not much different from that of the Central Plains people, except that the pores on their bodies are more obvious, their body odor is slightly stronger, and their hair is naturally curly.
Looking at the vaguely visible coast in the distance, Ruan Goudan felt a little hopeful.
Not only him, but also the crew members on the same ship.
They set out from the Rakshasa Kingdom and had been floating on the sea for more than three months, and they were almost going moldy.
How can you not be excited when you see the coast at this time?
Many people started shouting from a distance, expressing their pent-up emotions.
"Captain, this time we bring so many goods that the Central Plains people like, we must be able to make a lot of money!"
Someone asked proudly, pointing to the large amount of goods in the ship.
"Of course, we made a lot of money this time. You can play here for a month before setting off!"
Ruan Goudan said very grandly.
Upon hearing this, all the crew members roared excitedly and were very supportive of his decision.
Now that his father is older, it is the first time for Ruan Goudan to lead the crew on his own for sailing trade.
The reason why he decided to stay so long this time was not only because he wanted to have fun, but also because he wanted to make his crew members loyal to him and let them know that they could live a good life by following him.
The group looked at the shore with longing, seeing that the shore was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more other ships around.
You can see that there are also merchant ships from other Yi and Di countries such as the Junzi Kingdom, the Daughter Kingdom, the Immortal Kingdom, the Two-faced Kingdom, and the Laomin Kingdom.
Ruan Goudan was a little unhappy when he saw the merchant ships from these countries.
Because we are the Yi and Di countries, each country is actually not very big, and all the countries combined are not as big as the Central Plains.
This is not the point. The point is that, except for some special products from each country, many of the goods brought by everyone are actually duplicates.
This allows the Central Plains people to take the opportunity to lower prices, making it difficult for them to maximize their profits.
In their opinion, all the people in the Central Plains are extremely rich, but they are too stingy. They have to bargain for everything and always like to buy at low prices, which makes them very unhappy.
For this reason, the Yi and Di countries are not united, and all kinds of intrigues are the norm.
Well, except for the country of gentlemen.
Ruan Goudan looked at the shore getting closer and closer, and began to think about the goods transaction that would be carried out next.
Tea, silk, porcelain, these are like God's creations, we must get more of them back.
These things are high-end luxuries among the Yi and Di countries, and all respectable people want them.
There were even wars among the Yi and Di countries over rare porcelain, and there was more than one case.
While Ruan Goudan was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, followed by human screams.
Not only him, but also the surrounding ships heard the sound and looked together.
But it was as if Lao Minguo's ship was hit by something, and many people fell on the deck, wailing in pain.
The next moment, a huge arm with blue and black fish scales suddenly stretched out from the water and grabbed Lao Minguo's boat.
How could Lao Minguo's ship withstand such a grab? It suddenly broke and seemed to be broken into two pieces.
Someone on the ship was grabbed by the big hand and pinned to death on the deck.
Someone jumped off the boat in fear and fled. As soon as they fell into the water, they saw a big hand still bleeding out.
The man was very unlucky, and he happened to fall into the big hand. With a casual squeeze of the big hand, the man was crushed into a puddle of mud.
Then, two big hands were seen hugging Lao Minguo's boat.
Lao Minguo's ship simply couldn't withstand the strange force of this big hand and completely fell apart. The big hand could only hold a pile of rotten wood.
After grabbing the water a few times with his two big hands, the water surface stirred up, revealing the true face of the attacker.
It is a creature with a blue face and blue body, resembling a humanoid, with disheveled hair and sharp teeth.
The upper body of this creature looks very strong, with muscles like a coiled and crouching dragon, making it look extremely powerful.
But at this moment, this powerful creature was covered in blood, with many wounds on its body, and blood was still gushing out in many places.
After the upper body emerged from the sea, its figure was unstable. It was obvious that this creature seemed to be forced to the surface and looked like it was about to fall down at any time.
But when the people on the surrounding ships saw this guy, they were all horrified and quickly fled to the shore.
Ruan Goudan was no exception. He and the crew sailed desperately to get away from this creature.
The creature in the sea barely managed to keep from sinking into the sea. Seeing that the surrounding ships were avoiding it, it chased the nearest ship.
Unfortunately, Ruan Goudan's ship was the closest to this creature.
Seeing this guy who was bigger than their boat chasing after them, a group of people were frightened and shook their oars desperately.
But their sailing speed was obviously not as fast as this giant creature. After a while, they saw this giant creature catching up.
He opened his hands and suddenly came down, holding the ship in his arms.
The ship was shaken violently by such a hug, and the hull of the ship was also being strangled and creaking.
Fortunately, their ship was larger and sturdier than that of the Republic of China, and it did not fall apart.
The creature didn't seem to have any intention of destroying the ship. After hugging the hull, it made sure that it wouldn't sink and made no further moves.
Ruan Goudan and others in the boat could clearly see the wounds on this creature through the window. The bones were so deep that it was shocking.
It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Facing such a terrifying creature, they can't feel any sympathy at all. They are just afraid that the other person will slap them to death before dying.
"Captain, what, what should I do?"
Some people were so frightened that they trembled all over and became incontinent on the spot.
After all, Ruan Goudan had been floating on the sea since he was a child, so he still had some courage. Seeing that this creature had no intention of attacking them for the time being, he said loudly:
"Sail the boat and dock. There will be someone on the shore who can help!"
When everyone on the boat heard this, they seemed to grasp the last straw.
Regardless of whether what Ruan Goudan said was useful or not, they all used their best strength to sail quickly.
The boat carried this huge creature all the way to the shore.
People on the shore had already seen it. Some people screamed in fear and fled in all directions.
When the government officials and policemen who maintained order saw this scene, they immediately drew their bows and arrows, hoping to kill the approaching creature.
Facing the arrows shot by a group of people, the giant creature roared and knocked down all the arrows.
Many people on the shore were so shaken that they were dizzy and staggering around.
Now even the government officials and police officers did not dare to stay any longer and ran away quickly.
Seeing this, Ruan Goudan and others on the boat looked desperate, but they kept moving, hoping to reach the shore and find an opportunity to escape.
With the joint efforts of a group of people, the ship finally sailed into the port, bringing the giant creatures with it.
Entering the port, the giant creature voluntarily abandoned their ship, climbed to the shore a few times, and completely separated from the water.
At this time, everyone finally saw that its lower body was a fish body.
It's just that the tail has already been broken off, as if it was cut off directly by something sharp.
Although there is no blood flowing out of the tail, you can tell just by looking at how painful it is when the tail is cut off.
After the giant creature climbed to the ground of the dock, it lay on the ground and made a strange sound that no one else could understand.
Fortunately, it did not attack the surrounding people and everyone was able to avoid it.
This incident immediately alarmed the county government, and the news spread to the government government...
