A round of fiery red sun rose slowly, reflecting the sea dancing wildly like golden snakes, and several seabirds were flying in the sky. This was the first sunny day since the Chinese New Year.

Le Chi walked out of the cabin and stretched. He still had a hangover last night, and his head hurt as if he had been hit by an axe. However, he still got up. He had been in Qingzhou for several days, and the cargo had also been unloaded. Well, the year is over, it's time to go back and pay the bill to the boss. The two children in the family are still waiting for their grandfather to bring delicious food back.

Everyone on board got up, and the rudder on the deck performed their duties. The ship moved slowly and left Qingzhou Port.

Suddenly, a guy in the distance exclaimed: "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

Le Chi was startled, could it be that there was a thief on the boat?But the goods have been unloaded long ago, and now there are only some purchased silks, satins, tea, glutinous rice and other things, and the serious gold and silver ingots are still hidden in his own cabin, and he inspected them when he first left the cabin.

He walked a few steps to the deck, and saw a man sitting among the raincloths piled up in the corner, with ragged clothes and a cotton hat with a ripped edge on his head, which was so dirty that it was greasy. There is nothing else, not even a burden, only a shoulder pole, which looks like an old thing.

Several guys surrounded him, interrogating with staring eyes: "Say, how did you get here?"

The man obviously just woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking around in a daze, with a surprised expression on his face: "My mother, why is this boat leaving? How can it go down here?"

He obviously changed the subject, and the guy was furious: "I'm asking you something, how did you get here?"

The man smiled embarrassedly: "It was windy last night, I just wanted to find a shelter from the wind to sleep for the night, and I accidentally fell asleep."

Now the guys all understand that it turns out that he is just a homeless idler, but where can you sleep? Do you have to sleep on our boat?

Le Chi coughed and walked over, and the guys who wanted to curse a few words all stopped.

"Just taking a nap in shelter from the wind? Really?" Le Chi stared at the idle man with piercing eyes.

The sneer on the idle man's face froze, he scratched his head and said: "I... I actually want to find a job, the shopkeeper is always showing mercy, please accept me, I am strong and can do anything."

"I'm not the shopkeeper." Le Chi waved his hand, and took another look at the idle man. This kid is quite tall, and he looks quite strong. He probably has two arms and strength. Although he has a beard on his chin, But looking carefully at his face, he was not very old. He thought about it as soon as he thought about it, and asked, "Where are you from? Who else is in the family?"

The idle man said: "My family used to be in the countryside of Qingzhou. My parents died long ago, so I am a bachelor."

Le Chi nodded: "I do have a job here, but it's tiring. I don't know if you'd like to do it."

The idle man hurriedly bowed: "Do it, I will do it, as long as I take care of the food."

"Take care... what's your name?"

"My name is Kim Sam Soon."

Since then, there has been an extra helper on this ship, and this helper is none other than Xu Zizhen in disguise. In addition, he didn't take a shower on the way, and he made it so dirty on purpose, people didn't even have the courage to look at him more, and the safety factor increased a lot.

Le Chi walked away with his hands behind his back, and Xu Zizhen chatted with a few guys.

"Big brothers, where is our treasure number?"

A man pointed to the flag waving in the wind on the bow of the boat and said, "Isn't that written, Hongji."

Xu Zizhen cursed secretly, the flag was written in Jurchen script, how could I understand it?But why is the word Hongji somewhat familiar?He smirked and said, "I can't read...then what kind of business are we doing?"

The guy straightened his back and said proudly: "What business is it? Hongji is the number one lumber yard in the Dajin Kingdom, and our grandma is the niece of the current emperor."

Grandma is the hostess of the family, Xu Zizhen can still understand it, he is contemptuous in his heart, all the guys in the world probably have this problem, they like to show off their own employer, your grandma is the emperor's niece, not your mother... etc. Wait, why is this passage getting more and more familiar?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Zizhen's mind, and he suddenly remembered, Hongji, the largest timber merchant in the Kingdom of Jin, isn't his young master the same playboy Wanyanti who once pursued Hu Qing in front of him in Taiyuan Mansion?At first, he was beaten by Su San so much that even his own mother almost couldn't recognize him, but later Wan Yan Ang appeared, and that kid suddenly became his grandson.

What the hell!it's fate!

Xu Zizhen put on a look of surprise on his face, but he was thinking silently in his heart. He chose this ship to go to the Kingdom of Jin. Jinzhou is further north to Beijing, and it is on the way, but now it is a coincidence that he ran into an acquaintance. Then there is a chance to study it. Isn’t Wanyanti the emperor’s niece? There will always be a time to enter the palace, right?I was still worrying about how to get into the lair of the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.

All the conversations on the deck reached Le Chi's ears with the wind, and he returned to the cabin with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Le Chi came to Qingzhou this time to deliver the goods, and he should go back to pay the account after the goods are delivered. He has another errand. There is a lumber yard in the old forest at the northern end of Jinzhou. From logging to processing to delivery, he is the one. The manager of the lumber yard, he is suffering from a headache recently, because the lumber yard is short of people, Xu Zizhen's appearance catches his eyes, although this kid is a little dirty, but he is better than a fool, he is easy to handle at first sight, so immediately Decided to take him back, seeing that he was able to work because of his stature, and as long as he took care of the food, he didn't need to pay wages.

The boss pays each of the guys in the lumberyard three taels of silver every month, but this silly boy doesn't know what a good thing.

The big ship sailed slowly north, and Xu Zizhen was taken in by Le Chi. Naturally, he helped out on the ship for the past few days. He was nimble and diligent, and his mouth was sweet. The whole boat got to know each other well, and quickly collected all the information they wanted to know, including where Hongji's owner lived, who was in the family, how often the owner's grandmother usually entered the palace, and so on.

Xu Zizhen's mind was not idle when he went to bed at night. This trip to Shangjing to rescue Zhao Zhi was more dangerous than any previous operation. If he didn't plan well, he might die without even seeing Zhao Zhi.

There is another thing that confuses him. The so-called Jin Di Na Zhao Zhi is probably a fake at all, just to lure Xu Zizhen to Beijing, but the problem lies in this, the dignified King of Jin wants to kill him Doesn't a civilian who doesn't even have an official rank look like a joke?Just send a messenger to let Zhao Huan do it, why make it so complicated, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wu Qimai, is full of food?

Until today, Xu Zizhen didn't know the situation of Ying Tianfu, let alone that Wushu had withdrawn.

At this time, Wushu had already returned to Bianjing. He sat by the window and took a sip of tea. He turned his eyes to the blue sky outside the window and murmured with a smile on his face: "Xu Zizhen, my uncle is not a fool. You Don't let me down."
