Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Chapter 119 Whose mask is hidden deeper?

Cheng Ling spent more than half of the remaining silver rewarded by the county governor's office, plus an additional ten taels of gold, to buy the boat.

In this case, what she bought was not a great ship, but just an old building ship that had been in service in the waters of Shenchuan for ten years.

Of course, it's not small either.

The captain is fifteen feet long, the width is three feet, and there are three levels of cabins on the deck.

There are oars on both sides of the hull. If the role of the sails is not considered and it is driven solely by human power, there will be at least fifty oarsmen to drive this large ship!

The old leader of the Jinshui Gang was quite good at blowing. He rubbed his hands and said, "The management is very strict. Commercial ships are generally only allowed to have two floors. Three-story ships like ours are all reported as damaged. This The ship is not easy to come by..."

Then, he looked at Cheng Ling with a look that said, "Do you understand?"

Cheng Ling understood. In fact, the management of Chixia City was not strict. There were many loopholes from top to bottom.

But she had indeed found the right person. Although the old ship she bought had been in service for ten years, it was not of an ordinary size.

Cheng Ling smiled at Hall Master Lu and said, "Sure enough, there is no wrong temple. Hall Master Lu took the trouble."

Hall Master Lu smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, Master Cheng is a hero. In our Chixia City, no matter where you go, it is a resounding sign. I, Old Lu, just caught up, haha !”

Cheng Ling bowed her hands to him and said, "Old seniors don't dare to accept love."

Hall Master Lu then laughed again, and the two of them were in harmony. When the atmosphere was just right, Hall Master Lu finally asked the question that had been brewing for a long time.

"Master Cheng, is he going to form a water caravan? The route has been decided? The docks have been stepped on? Where are you going? Do you want to tell me, an old man? I have been on the water for many years and have walked a lot. I can’t say I can give you any humble opinion on the Nian Waterway.”

Hall Master Lu’s tone was cordial and his attitude was casual. But his pair of turbid old eyes were staring at Cheng Ling closely, seemingly unintentionally, but actually intentionally.

Cheng Ling then said casually: "The team on the water is going to cross the Shen River and go to the capital. The old man is laughing."

"Oh." Hall Master Lu narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going east? Just go to the capital directly. This route is not outstanding enough."

Cheng Ling also smiled and said: "After all, it is the first time to wade through the water, so it is important to be cautious. You don't have to be too ambitious. This water... you must also wade through it bit by bit. The old man said, but this is the truth?"

Pavilion Master Lu suddenly laughed and said: "It's very, very true. I didn't expect that Pavilion Master Cheng's behavior may seem unstoppable, but in fact he can hold back and let go. He's at a high level! I admire you!"

Like an old man who is extremely concerned about his younger generation, Yin Yin warned: "Since Master Cheng wants to take the route to the capital, the Tianying Gang cannot ignore it this time. Before sailing, it is best to walk around."

After admonishing him, he added: "I am an old man who talks too much. Does Mr. Cheng not mind?"

Cheng Ling said: "Thank you, senior."

Hall Master Lu laughed again.

Cheng Ling finished dealing with Hall Master Lu and left the Lu Mansion. Zhou Huai who was following her could not help but complain: "Master, it's really tiring to talk to Hall Master Lu. You are so patient. You can still talk to him." He’s been coming and going for so long.”

Zhou Huai is the most slippery among all the disciples in the martial arts school. He even said he couldn't stand it, which shows how annoying Hall Master Lu is.

Cheng Ling said: "Zhou Huai, my temper is no better than yours, so do you know why I wasn't angry just now?"

Zhou Huai was stunned and quickly asked: "Master, why aren't you angry?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ling smiled and replied: "You take your time and guess."

Zhou Huai:......

After Cheng Ling left Lu Mansion, a person came out from behind the screen in Hall Master Lu's living room.

I saw this man in rich clothes, with a jade crown tied up his hair, and a green jade pen spinning in his hand. He looked to be in his early twenties, and he looked suave.

As soon as Hall Master Lu saw this man, he immediately bowed and greeted him with a smile on his face, saying: "Young Gang Leader, I asked, it turns out that this Jade Shura also wants to take the capital route!"

The young man twirling the jade pen glanced sideways, sneered slightly, and then said, "Hall Master Lu thinks he is telling the truth?"

Hall Master Lu was immediately shocked and said, "Could it be that there is something fake?"

The young gang leader sighed and shook his head: "Lao Lu, look at you, your brain is not flexible enough after all. Otherwise, why would you have been living in ignorance for decades and just be a small hall leader in the Jinshui Gang?"

As he spoke, the tip of his jade pen lightly touched Hall Master Lu's shoulder.

Hall Master Lu remained frozen in his hunched posture, not daring to move.

The young gang leader's jade pen and the tip are also made of jade. Obviously, this is not a brush used for writing, but simply a strange weapon in the shape of a brush.

Hall Master Lu smiled dryly and said: "Yes, isn't this because I have limited qualifications? Fortunately, I met the Young Gang Leader, who took pity on me and joined the Tianying Gang. I dare not say anything else, just a little! The Young Gang Leader pointed out Where, where can the little one hit..."

The young gang leader laughed, knocked Hall Master Lu's shoulder again, and said: "That's all, there's no need to delve too much into Cheng Ling's boating route. If you really want to kill him, just keep an eye on when he will summon the sailors. Once on the water, you can still Can you let him?"

After saying that, he put away his pen and walked away.

Hall Master Lu was right behind him, straightening his waist little by little.

In the evening, Cheng Ling went to Chidong Wharf on the south bank of Shenchuan River.

There are many ports in the north of the city, but the most prosperous one is the Yue'erwan Pier located in the middle of Chixia City. Chidong Pier is located in a remote area and is relatively deserted.

Cheng Ling's boat is parked here, and Hong Feng and a dozen brothers are currently guarding it here.

Seeing Cheng Ling coming, Hong Feng immediately led people to meet him. His expression was full of excitement and he was extremely excited.

After working as a tracker and a package coolie for half my life, how could I have ever imagined that I would one day be able to sit on a ship and become a sailor?

Although you can make money by joining the Green Coat delivery team, delivering food and being a sailor feel completely different.

Hong Feng just can't describe it. If he could describe it, he would definitely say: Delivering food is the daily necessities of life, but walking with the boat is a dream and a distant place!

As if he was in a dream, Hong Feng asked Cheng Ling again for confirmation: "Master, are we...really going to let us be sailors in the future, and leave this ship to us to row?"

Cheng Ling said: "What? You can't do it?"

Hong Feng immediately puffed up his chest and raised his voice: "It can be done! There's nothing we can't do! We, our brothers, have been rolling in the water since we were young. No one can row a boat, and no one can swim!"

Cheng Ling smiled and said: "You can be a sailor, but you still need to find a helmsman. Hong Feng, do you have any suitable personnel to recommend? In addition, there is one very important thing."

Hong Feng felt Cheng Ling's seriousness and immediately looked at Cheng Ling seriously.

Cheng Ling said: "This ship must be repaired. Hong Feng, where is the best craftsman in Chixia City?"

The best craftsman?

Hong Feng blurted out: "Master Bian quit his job ten years ago! Now Master Yao is in the Shipping Department of the County Sheriff's Mansion."
