The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 556 Next Stop: Jiayu Pass

The person on the big ship was Yang Kaitai.

He has a square face and a square mouth. He is wearing a formal light blue satin robe and a green cloth shirt on the outside. It looks like he has worn it for a long time.

No one would have thought that he was the young master of the Yuanji Money House, which had business all over the world and was rich enough to rival a country.

He is also the only lay disciple of Master Tieshan, the abbot of the Shaolin Sect. It is said that his Shaolin magic boxing has reached 90% of its level, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat him.

In terms of wealth and background, Yang Kaitai is actually the number one among the Six Gentlemen of the Wulin.

Lian Chengbi smiled when he looked at Yang Kaitai.

With the Shaolin Temple as its backing, it is no wonder that Yuanji Money House can be opened all over the world.

With the presence of Yuanji Money House in various places, Shaolin disciples will never be short of money no matter where they are.

It’s really a win-win situation!

Yang Kaitai, who serves as the link between the two parties, is indeed a true gentleman with an upright character, but his only shortcoming is that he cannot be allowed to pay money.

His nickname is Iron Gentleman, but behind his back people call him a miser.

and so……

Lian Chengbi looked at the big ship where Yang Kaitai was and the guests in groups of three or four on the ship, and he knew that this time it was definitely not his treat.

So he didn't plan to go up, but just waved at Yang Kaitai, "Hello, Brother Yang!"

But just because Lian Chengbi doesn't go up doesn't mean Yang Kaitai won't come down.

Yang Kaitai leaped onto the boat and lightly tapped his feet, and the boat barely shook.

"Didn't Brother Lian just get married? Why are you here?" Yang Kaitai asked.

"We just got married, so I brought my wife back home." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Seeing Shen Bijun's happy smile beside Lian Chengbi, Yang Kaitai was not a stupid person and he easily figured out the reason.

"The love between you two is enviable!" Yang Kaitai smiled and bowed, then invited, "I just heard Brother Lian talk about the fragrance of wine. We also have Shaochun wine from Shuzhong and Liulin wine from Guanzhong on board. Brother Lian, if you are interested, you can get on board."

Lian Chengbi waved his hand, "You are not the host, so I won't go up."

Yang Kaitai asked curiously, "How do you know it wasn't me?"

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "Isn't this obvious?"

Yang Kaitai blinked and changed the subject, "The one who invited us this time is not a businessman, but a senior from the martial arts world. If he heard of your name, he would definitely invite you on board."

"who is it?"

"It's Master Liu Sanye, the Hibiscus Swordsman."

Lian Chengbi was stunned when he heard this, "Why did Mr. Liu San come to Daming Lake?"

Hibiscus Swordsman Liu Sanye is a background character in the original novel. His eldest son, Jade-faced Swordsman Liu Yongnan, is a subordinate of Tianzong. He participated in helping the younger son kidnap Shen Bijun, but in the end he was tempted by her beauty and sacrificed his life for her.

But if Lian Chengbi remembered correctly, Mr. Liu Sanye was a famous family in Hebei, and the Liu family was mostly active in northern Hebei and eastern Shanxi, so Shen Bijun had never met Liu Yongnan.

"Some time ago, a batch of goods from the Liu family ran into trouble in Shandong. Third Master Liu personally took action and destroyed Baifeng Village with one sword. Then he went south to Daming Lake and entertained guests here."

Yang Kaitai explained, "The Liu family has business dealings with Liyuan Bank, so I came here too."

At this time, a handsome young man appeared and said, "Master Yang, my father said that if you are a friend, he will invite you to come aboard and drink with us."

The young man saw Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun at first sight and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

Yang Kaitai introduced, "This is the eldest son of Master Liu San, the Jade-faced Swordsman Liu Yongnan."

Lian Chengbi nodded. It was another character from the original novel. There were only a few of them in the original novel. How come he always ran into them?
At this moment, another person poked his head out from beside Liu Yongnan. It was Shen Wenyu. "Brother Lian, cousin?" Shen Wenyu smiled in surprise when she saw the two of them. "What a coincidence, you guys are here to cruise the lake today too?"

Shen Bijun looked up and asked, "Why is my cousin also on the boat?"

Shen Wenyu said, "I once traveled to Hebei Wulin and met Mr. Liu San a few times."

Since Shen Wenyu is here, he has to give her the honor. Moreover, Lian Chengbi is the owner of Wugui Villa and he always has to attend social events.

So Lian Chengbi paid the boatman some money, and then he and Shen Bijun jumped onto the boat hand in hand.

There were quite a few people on the ship, with at least twenty or thirty people on the deck and in the cabins.

But Lian Chengbi didn't know many people, and Shen Bijun only remembered a few of them.

The two of them went to say hello to Master Liu San, and then came to the side with Yang Kaitai and Shen Wenyu.

"After suffering a loss once, Master Liu San now knows that he needs to build good relations with the Shandong martial arts world." Shen Wenyu jokingly said in a low voice.

"The reputation of Hibiscus Swordsman still has some respect in the martial arts world." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Yang Kaitai shook his head, "It's just that Master Liu San's banquet was held early. If it was a few days later, I would not be in Shandong anymore."

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "You are the young master of the Yuanji Bank, so you naturally have to travel all over the world. You can't be idle."

"We're not going to an ordinary place this time." Yang Kaitai sighed.

"With Brother Yang's martial arts skills, he can go anywhere in the world. How could he put you in such a difficult position?" Shen Wenyu asked curiously.

“It’s not a dangerous place, but it’s a little far away.” Yang Kaitai said, “Tongyuan Bank in the northwest has encountered some troubles, I have to go out and take a look.”

Lian Chengbi asked, "Your business at Yuanji Bank is really extensive. Has it even spread beyond the Great Wall?"

Yang Kaitai nodded, "There are many caravans coming from the Western Regions. Many merchants from the Central Plains go to the border areas to block people in advance. They need money to circulate, so the money houses are opened there."

Yang Kaitai sighed, "Jiayu Pass, Yumen Pass, the farthest branch is Dunhuang, and I heard they are planning to go to Hami. It's really too far."

Shen Wenyu looked helpless and jealous and didn't want to speak.

The Shen family is considered a big family in Shandong and they are never short of money. But compared with the Yuanji Money House, which has opened its money house business in Jiayuguan, it is really a dwarf compared to a giant.

For the Central Plains, there are several places outside the Great Wall in a strict sense.

There is Shanhaiguan in the east, Yanmenguan in the north, and Jiayuguan in the west.

The farthest one is undoubtedly Jiayuguan.

The desert sand and the flying snow in the Gobi Desert, the poems of the ancients bring imagination to modern people and are fascinating.

Therefore, countless heroes traveled to the northwest to broaden their horizons and see the magnificent scenery.

When she heard the word Jiayuguan, Shen Bijun couldn't help but think of her parents.

Although the appearance of her parents has gradually become blurred in her mind, she can still feel her father's majestic and loving smile and her mother's warm embrace in her dreams at midnight.

There was a trace of confusion in Shen Bijun's eyes.

Lian Chengbi suddenly asked, "Want to go to Jiayuguan?"

"I do." Shen Bijun replied subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted.

"No need, I..."

"It's okay. I also want to see the place where my parents died in battle." Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "But we have to go back to Jiangnan first."

Shen Bijun looked at Lian Chengbi, unable to hide the love in her heart, and nodded heavily.
