Huang Jin made his promise as if nothing had happened, pretending not to see Zhao Chuan's expression.
The maid Qin'er was happy, and the young lady Han Yu'er's complexion immediately improved. She looked up at Zhao Chuan with a smile on her face.
Zhao Chuan wanted to get angry, but seeing Han Yuer's overjoyed look, he thought about it and let it go.
"This dead doctor doesn't have much real ability, so he just cheats and makes money." Zhao Chuan secretly scolded Huang Jin.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Han Qiaosheng told Huang Jin that you don't need to worry about the safety of the young lady. He had hired the escort on the ship to take charge of the young lady's safety. As long as you accompany the young lady to the dock of Jiangzhou City safely, it would be fine. After that, he told Han Zheng to find the hired guard. Escorts come to meet each other.
Huang Jin said that it was necessary to meet each other so that we could work together.
But when the escort entered the cabin living room, Huang Jin's face suddenly elongated.
The escort from the escort agency was actually the husband of that charming and charming woman.
"I'm Jiang Yong. I'm an escort from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in Beijing. I've met Mr. Han!" The visitor glanced at Huang Jin and gave Han Qiaosheng a fist in the air, completely in the style of a martial artist.
Huang Jin shivered in his heart and felt that the banknotes in his arms were a little hot.
Han Qiaosheng didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two of them, and enthusiastically introduced the maid and Zhao Chuan Huangjin to Jiang Yong. Jiang Yong said a few more words and then exited the cabin living room.
After Jiang Yong left, Han Qiaosheng told Huang Jin, who had a gloomy look, not to worry. Jiang Yong was not the only escort on the ship. Jiang Yong was just the leader. There were more than a dozen of them. This time, they were taking the waterway to escort the escort to the river. Zhoucheng, by the way, protect the safety of the young lady.
Han Qiaosheng thought Huang Jin's gloomy face was because he was worried about the young lady's safety, but in fact Huang Jin was worried about his own safety.
After Han Qiaosheng made arrangements, he got off the boat and left.
The luxury building ship immediately left the shore and set sail.
Zhao Chuan was in a bad mood and found a three-story place to relax and look at the scenery. There seemed to be a tightness in his chest, and something seemed to be surging in his chest. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Chuan finally felt relieved. The reason for his depression came from family feud, but every injustice has its own owner. Although the family feud is related to the official family, the Han family has nothing to do with it. It cannot be because there is a person on the ship. A bad guy can knock over a whole boat of people with one stroke.
Zhao Chuan stood at a high place and saw Han Qiaosheng from a distance directing the soldiers to deal with the aftermath on the dock, but Han Qiaosheng would occasionally turn around and look at the passenger ship going away.
It seems that Mr. Han is still worried about his daughter... Zhao Chuan sighed.
Zhao Chuan stood for a while until he lost sight of the dock and then returned to the cabin. Huang Jin was in a daze holding the bank note Han Qiaosheng gave him.
Seeing Zhao Chuan come in, Huang Jin handed him the banknote, saying that it was an advance payment from Mr. Han and he couldn't keep it to himself, and besides, everyone had shared in the hard work along the way.
But Huang Jin's hand holding the banknote was clenched tightly, as if he was reluctant to let it go. Zhao Chuan tilted his head and took a look, and found that it was a 500-tael piece, and smiled to himself.
Zhao Chuan originally didn't want to take the money, but after thinking about Huang Jin's virtues all the way, he now wanted to bribe himself to protect him, so he said, "Okay! Let's give him half. I'm young and can't take everything."
Huang Jin didn't say anything else, and went out with a sullen face. He came back after a while and handed Zhao Chuan the banknotes he exchanged at the second-floor shop. Zhao Chuan saw that they were four 50-tael bills, totaling 250 taels.
Zhao Chuan laughed and scolded Huang Jin for being a bit of a loser, but he only took two 50-tael pieces and said that's it. I'm just an apprentice, so how can I compare to you?
Huang Jin had a smile on his face and immediately put away the remaining 400 taels of silver notes.
"That Jiang Yong seems to be hostile to us?" Huang Jin said.
"It's okay. Now we are all hired by Mr. Han to protect the young lady. We all bear our own responsibilities. Nothing will happen on this ship." Zhao Chuan comforted him.
In fact, Zhao Chuan knew very well that Jiang Yong's martial arts skills were average and he didn't have much cultivation. He was much worse than himself, so there was nothing to fear.
"Well, we'll arrive at Jiangzhou Wharf the day after tomorrow. We just need to survive two days and two nights." Huang Jin also comforted himself.
At dinner time, Qin'er came to call Zhao Chuan again, saying that the lady wanted to have dinner with Zhao Chuan, and that after the meal, she would play games with the lady there.
The upper-class cabin that the Han family originally lived in had three bedrooms and one living room. As soon as Han Qiaosheng left, the room was vacated, and Han Yu'er was able to play around without restraint. No wonder the lady was so happy to see the master disembarking, so that was what happened.
Zhao Chuan secretly complained in his heart. He didn't want to go because he had to sit cross-legged to practice tonight. The ninth level of the wood layer he had practiced a few days ago was full. He wanted to use more force to enter the water layer. He was eager to know how to enter the water layer. What is the experience of level. The Five Elements Magic Skills of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth created by my great-grandfather, I must practice it well, and I will point to it to avenge the family.
But Huang Jin complained even more. After Zhao Chuan left, he was afraid that Jiang Yong would come to the cabin to cause trouble.
It’s impossible not to go, Qin’er is stalking her again.
Zhao Chuan had no choice but to accompany Han Yu'er to dinner. The game they played after the meal was to guess the pebbles. Whoever guessed the pebble in whose hand was right would flick the stone man's head.
Zhao Chuan had finished practicing the second level of gold and wood and had the ability to see through the human body. He could deliberately guess the pebbles in Qin'er's hands every time, so her brain was almost torn to pieces by Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan won more and lost less. After playing Qin'er for a while, he felt that he didn't want to suffer the loss anymore, so he switched to sandbag hitting, which is to hang an object on the far wall and hit it with the sandbag in his hand.
Zhao Chuan has martial arts skills, and this game is even more childish. He can even hit with his eyes closed.
Later, he changed to other games, and Zhao Chuan was still the winner, showing no mercy at all. His purpose was obvious, which was to end the game quickly and go back to practice.
Qin'er refused to admit defeat, and actually had a long time ear-biting with the lady, and then changed the game to something like truth or dare.
It means that if you tell a secret that others don't know, if you can't tell it, or if you make it up so that others can find out the flaws, you will lose, and the loser will sleep on the living room floor.
This is specially made for me... Zhao Chuan secretly laughed in his heart.
Zhao Chuan readily surrendered. He had no secrets, and he couldn't tell them if he had any.
But surrendering cannot be done immediately. He must first listen to what others say about the secret. If others can't tell it or reveal flaws, it will be even, with no winner or loser.
Qin'er said first, she said that her brother lost all his family property in gambling two years ago, and she was sold to the Han family as a maid in order to pay off the debt.
"Isn't this a secret?" Zhao Chuan shook his head.
Qin'er rolled her eyes at him and said that the secret was below: She had a good friend of a poor scholar who used to come to her shop to buy things. As time went on, they fell in love with each other and they made a love for life. Who knows that she sold herself and became a maid and disappeared? free.
"This, you told me before..." Han Yu'er said that this was not a secret. The so-called secret must only be known to you. If two people know it, it is not a secret.
Qin'er said the secret hadn't been revealed yet: Later, the scholar told her that he was willing to wait for her, so in order to be able to stay with the scholar until he grew up, Qin'er exchanged all the reward money given by the Han family in the past few years for gold and secretly buried it in the Under a tree in the back garden of the Han family, whenever there is a chance, he digs it out and runs away with the scholar to a foreign country...
"This is a secret!" Han Wang'er and Zhao Chuan said almost at the same time.
But why haven't you escaped yet? Zhao Chuan began to find loopholes.
Qin'er said that firstly, she couldn't let go because she and the young lady had developed feelings over time, and secondly, because the scholar had an old mother, and they wanted to wait until the scholar had fulfilled his filial piety before leaving.
Zhao Chuan looked at Han Yu'er and said that the secret seemed to be true, but it was no longer a secret after Qin'er said it, and it would be difficult to run away in the future...
It's about Han Yu'er, but Qin'er knows almost everything Han Yu'er said about her, so it's hard to keep a secret.
Zhao Chuan said that if this was the case, then Han Yu'er would lose. If he lost, he would either sleep in the living room together or let Zhao Chuan go back.
How could Qin'er let the young lady lose? She tried her best to encourage the young lady to think about it, no matter how small the secret was, as long as she knew it alone.
Han Yu'er thought for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said that there was indeed a secret, but this secret was the same as Qin'er's secret.
"Ah, miss, do you have a sweetheart outside?" Qin'er opened her mouth in surprise, and Zhao Chuan was also surprised.
"Ahem, you're overthinking. I'm being guarded closely every day, so there's no way I'm going to get along. I just said that I secretly buried something under the tree in the back garden in case I had the chance to escape!" Han Yu'er smiled bitterly.
What's going on? Zhao Chuan and Qin'er looked confused.
"Oh, I'm tired of the life in the Han family's mansion. How I want to be like Zhao Chuan and wander around the world happily..." Han Yu'er sighed.
Qin'er curled her lips and Zhao Chuan frowned. They couldn't figure out what kind of trouble this young lady wanted to make.
The three of them chatted for a while, then announced that the game was over when it was getting late.
Of course, Qin'er didn't let Zhao Chuan go and asked him to sleep in the living room. Zhao Chuan said that you should rest first and he would go down first to say hello to Huang Jin and then come back in a while.
Zhao Chuan returned to the cabin and opened the hatch. He saw Huang Jin in the dark with his eyes wide open and nervous. When he saw Zhao Chuan, he said that he had just had a dream. He dreamed that a mob was robbing a passenger ship. He felt uneasy and was afraid that something would happen tonight. .
Zhao Chuan laughed it off and said, Uncle Huang, don't worry. This is a government-run boat, not on the shore. The mob can't come, and ordinary water bandits don't dare to come.
You can't live in the Han family's living room. Zhao Chuan just found an excuse to come down. After all, she is our lady, so it's better to avoid suspicion.
It was late at night, the guests had all rested, and the people drinking and gambling in the entertainment area on the second floor had also dispersed. The sound of sailors in the propeller room below the deck operating the impeller hitting the water on the huge ship can be heard, as well as the sound of the sailors on duty on the third-floor observation platform pacing back and forth.
Zhao Chuan is not sleepy, he wants to meditate and practice to upgrade.
This set of five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth that Grandpa created by himself uses what meridian route. Zhao Chuan still can’t figure it out because it’s really hard to figure out. It’s neither the twelve meridians nor the eight extraordinary meridians and the central meridians. and other common cultivation paths.
In short, during practice, these meridians and connected acupuncture points move randomly, and you can't control them even if you want. No wonder Grandpa Tai said that as long as you master the most basic cultivation methods, you will be able to practice after breaking through the lowest level...
At midnight, Zhao Chuan felt a sense of energy rush out from the sole of his left foot. Before he could react, he felt the energy return from the sole of his right foot. After walking around the body, it goes out through the sole of the left foot, and then returns through the sole of the right foot. But the acupuncture point that escaped was not like the Yongquan point, which was very strange.
Gradually, the feeling of air gets stronger and stronger, and finally the legs that are sitting cross-legged can’t help but open up so that the soles of the feet touch each other, allowing the air flow to circulate through the soles of the left and right feet.
Later, Zhao Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged with the soles of his feet facing each other, began to fly more than two feet above the ground. The air flow continued to circulate and became stronger.
Oops, you can still fly into the air while practicing. This is interesting. Zhao Chuan was overjoyed when he saw it.
Two hours later, the feeling of Qi traveling throughout his body stopped. Zhao Chuan involuntarily put down his feet and landed on the bottom deck. Then the ground trembled, and the entire passenger ship shook slightly.
"What! What did we hit?!" came the shout from the sailor on duty at the observation deck on the third floor.
It was already dawn, and Zhao Chuan heard the sailor's shout and went out to check.
