Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 428 Xiao Baitian (please subscribe!)

The fat captain raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "I know what you think, but I want to tell you here in advance that you can go to the shore to eat or buy something, but you must return to the ship in the next hour, because tomorrow We have to set off early in the morning. Anyone who can’t make it back to the ship by the end of You Hour will have to leave on another ship!”

Although it is docked at the pier, in order to ensure safety and ensure the departure on time tomorrow, the ship will close the boarding ladder after You hour, so those who are late cannot board again.

Some of the people on this boat were sailing for the first time, such as Zhang Twelve and the others, but most of them were frequent sailors, so they all knew this rule and naturally said yes.

"Captain, do you dare to ask, are you still planning to continue on your way tomorrow?"

At this time, a thin man who Zhang Twelve had never noticed before asked, looking a little worried.

"That's right, rest at night, and sail during the day, otherwise why stay here? Even if I agree, everyone probably won't agree, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"However, there will be strong winds and heavy rains tomorrow, so it's too unsafe to sail! I think the captain should take a full day's rest, and wait for the storm to pass before hurrying on!"

The man didn't seem to be joking, and said with a serious face.

"Oh? Storm? Hahaha..."

When the fat captain heard this, it was as if he had heard a big joke, and he couldn't stop laughing, but his laugh was mostly like a mockery.

"The old man has been sailing for more than ten years, but there has been no accident! Moreover, the sky was bright yesterday, and the wind is strong today, but the weather is fine! Even if there is wind tomorrow, there will be no heavy rain, right? But if there is a strong wind, it will be fine , just like today, I'm afraid I can travel a lot more!"

The fat captain said quite confidently.

"But, there will really be a storm tomorrow!"

After the thin man finished speaking, he saw that others didn't believe him, so he immediately explained: "Although there were many stars in the sky last night, they were much dimmer than usual, and in the middle of the night, the stars in the south were darker than those in the north." Many, this also indicates that there will be weather changes in the south! If you don’t believe me, you can observe it tonight. If you guess well, the stars in the south will no longer shine in the second half of the night today!”

Seeing him talking so seriously, some people have already started to shake their hearts. Is it true what he said, the astrology is abnormal in the second half of the night, and there will be a storm tomorrow?

The fat captain was very upset when he found that everyone had already believed it. On this ship, he was the one who made the decision. Unexpectedly, this man deceived the crowd and challenged his authority, which made him feel disgusted!
"Dare to ask this son, how do you know the difference in the astrology? If you just say it so casually, it will not be convincing!"

Hearing what the fat captain said, the thin man bit his lip and stopped almost opening his mouth, as if there was something hard to say.

Seeing this scene, the fat captain showed a trace of sneer and said, "Hehe, is it possible that the young master is self-taught? If so, it is really not convincing!"

"Family teacher is "Xiaobaitian"!"

The thin man finally said this sentence!

"Xiaobaitian?"

Hearing this name, everyone was stunned!

"But that "Xiaobaitian" who can know the weather within a hundred days?"

"Didn't you hear that he has been arrested by the government?"

"Isn't it? Even though there are floods, he has repeatedly ensured that the weather will be fine. Otherwise, how can there be no crops in the south?"

"........."

Everyone was talking about it, and Zhang Twelve also figured it out. It seemed that the man's master "Xiao Baitian" was a celebrity, a fierce man who knew the weather forecast through the astrology!
However, according to the meaning, before the flood disaster came last year, "Xiao Baitian" also predicted it once. At that time, someone felt that the weather was likely to rain heavily, so they asked him.

At that time, the "Xiao Baitian" also boasted that there would be no rainstorms and floods, and the good weather in the south would last for nearly a month until the grain harvest was over!

The common people listened to his words, so they let the rice grow without worry. When the rainstorm came, it was too late to harvest the grain. In the end, they could only watch all the grain being blown away by the flood!
So after this incident came out, all the common people went to this "Xiao Baitian" to ask for an explanation, but when they found his house, there was no one there...

Some people said that he knew that he had done something wrong, so he ran away secretly, and some people said that he was captured by the government. Anyway, there are different opinions, and no one knows his exact whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he saw his apprentice today!
…………

"Hehe, Xiao Baitian's apprentice?"

The fat captain sneered twice and said: "Your master is predicted to be forbidden to run away, what kind of master are you still pretending to be?"

"Yes, yes! If it wasn't for him, how could the price of food in the south be so high?"

"Yes, it is because of his master that there are refugees!"

"Where did your master go? Do you know?"

A group of scholars from the south felt the impact of the soaring food prices in the south, so when they heard that the thin man was the apprentice of "Xiaobaitian", they spoke fiercely to him.

Zhang Twelve felt a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Today's people are typical bullying and fearing the hard. The increase in food prices may have something to do with the "Xiao Baitian", but the most direct relationship is because the grain farms themselves raised prices!
They didn't go to trouble people like Zhao Qingfeng from Liangzhuang, but besieged the disciples of "Xiaobaitian", what a shame!

Moreover, his impression of the skinny man was good. In terms of appearance alone, he didn't look like a slick and deceitful person, and what about his master, he didn't know what happened inside. , He doesn't make comments, and naturally he won't put any labels on people he doesn't know.

"Everyone! He is just an apprentice, how can he know the whereabouts of his master? Don't embarrass him, just give me Zhao some face, okay?"

At this time, it was Zhao Qingfeng who took the initiative to rescue him, even Zhang Twelve was a little puzzled: Could it be that he did this to make a good impression on Princess Yilan?

What a struggle!
Only then did the crowd stop their quarrel, and the fat captain came out again and said, "Young Master, since Mr. Zhao has spoken, we will not embarrass you anymore! But don't say anything about the storm!"

As he spoke, he gave him a hard look, as if it was unbearable to be labeled "Xiao Baitian's apprentice"!
The thin man sighed helplessly. He wanted to distinguish a few more words, but seeing the disgusted and contemptuous gazes cast on him by the crowd, his heart sank...

I don't want to say a word.

He left his hometown when he was a child, and went to Jinling to learn stargazing at night with his master "Xiao Baitian", and he really knew that the master would hardly predict failure.

But last year, his master suddenly gave him a large sum of money and asked him to go back to his hometown of Dianyang. He resisted, but was scolded by his master, telling him not to ask anything, and not to say that he was his student in the future!
At that time, he was terrified, thinking that he had done something wrong and had to go back to his hometown, thinking that he would go back after a while when Master's anger subsided...

However, half a month later, heavy rains broke out in the south, floods prevailed, and food production was cut off. All this was because his master's prediction failed-to be honest, he didn't believe it at the time, but his master disappeared and never could not find it……

Now, when he cites the name of the master, others don't even believe him—he even understands why the master told him not to say he was his student again in the end!This is protecting him!He foresaw such a day in advance!

So he believed that the master must have a difficult reason...

It's just that for what reason, he has no way of knowing...

…………

The boat slowly approached the pier.

When the boat stopped, those whose destination was Dianyang disembarked first, while others who went ashore to improve their meals followed behind.

The thin man walked ahead, apparently he was about to disembark at Dianyang.

After the fat captain saw it, he sneered, and said in a strange way: "No wonder we were asked to wait for a day before leaving. I dare say that you have already disembarked. How much time you spend later has nothing to do with you, right?"

Seeing the thin man bowed his head and said nothing, the fat captain became even more energetic: "Hehe, the master is not a good person, and the apprentices he teaches are not very good! Bah!"

As he spoke, he spat hard.

And the thin man didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end, but clenched his fists and walked down quickly, attracting booing and ridicule from a group of people behind!
…………

This was just a small episode. When there were fewer people, Zhang Twelve was going to take Princess Yilan ashore to improve the food.

At this time, Zhao Qingfeng beckoned to him secretly, and Zhang Twelve walked over.

"Brother Tang, why don't you tell Lingmei, how about we find a restaurant with Zhao as the host, and let Zhao and Lingmei get to know each other?"

When he was talking, Zhao Qingfeng kept looking at Princess Yilan with his evil eyes, which provoked Mo Li to stare at him fiercely, startled him, and immediately withdrew his eyes.

Zhang Twelve sneered in his heart, but his mouth was full of doubts: "Brother Feng, I actually think so too—but I think it's too early, after all, my sister doesn't have much impression of you. Speed ​​is not enough!"

"Then what should we do?"

Zhao Qingfeng already regarded Zhang Twelve as his brother-in-law who could help him, so he asked directly without any doubt.

"From my point of view, brother Feng can't be in a hurry, but he can make side-stepping remarks to impress my sister!"

"Oh? Like?"

Zhao Qingfeng became interested, thinking that it would be reliable to have such a sensible person help him!

"For example, after we go ashore, we will find a restaurant to eat, and Brother Feng can also go in to eat, but he doesn't have to sit at the same table with us-but Brother Feng can shout in the restaurant at that time, and today's meal is all paid by the restaurant. You come out! In this case, not to mention my sister, even other women will definitely be moved when they see Brother Feng being so bold and generous..."

Zhang Twelve has already started the mode of taking advantage of him.

"Is this...really okay?"

Zhao Qingfeng asked a little uncertainly.

"Of course it's possible—but, if Brother Feng thinks it will cost too much money, it doesn't matter if you don't do it. Just delay the matter of increasing my sister's favor..."

"........."

Zhao Qingfeng is not afraid of anything, but fear of shock!

No, just after Zhang Twelve finished speaking, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't take it anymore: Isn't it just money?As the young owner of the largest grain farm in Jinling and even Datang, what he lacks most now is money!
"No need! Just do what Brother Tang says! But please give me some kind words in front of Lingmei!"

"It must be, this is nature!"

Zhang Twelve smiled and patted Zhao Qingfeng twice, thinking that this idiot is really easy to deceive...

…………

Zhang Twelve bowed his head and whispered to that Zhao Qingfeng from behind, showing a mean smile from time to time, not knowing what the two of them were talking about, Mo Li immediately frowned.

"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up!"

Mo Li's cold voice came from the front, Zhang Twelve smiled helplessly at Zhao Qingfeng, and walked up quickly.

When Zhao Qingfeng heard Mo Li's icy cold words just now, she felt a little rejoiced: It's good not to have dinner with them, otherwise she will say so few words, I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to eat anymore...

Perhaps it is because of the relatively large passenger flow next to the pier, there are two or three restaurants next to it, and the scale is not bad.

Standing at the door, he could already smell the aroma inside, and Zhang Twelve couldn't help moving his index finger.

Not to mention him, even Princess Yilan and Mo Li have had enough of the noodles, and now the restaurant is right in front of them, everyone is looking forward to it!
Zhang Twelve chose the most magnificent and highest-standard restaurant among these restaurants and walked in. According to his experience, the price of this restaurant should be the highest-anyway, if you are taken advantage of, you can spend whatever you want!
Zhao Qingfeng, who was walking behind, saw Zhang Twelve and the others entering the restaurant, and hurriedly followed.

Although it was still early, there were not many empty tables in the store. I'm afraid they were all people who just got off the boat to improve their lives!

He chose a table next to the wall and sat down. Zhang Twelve found that the thin man who was on the boat just now was also sitting in the corner, and there was still a bowl of noodles in front of him. The boat also eats noodles. If life can be lived, who would choose to live so hard?
Greet Xiao Er first, point to that table, order two hard dishes, and ask him to put it on his account—it’s a treat for someone who was taken advantage of anyway, so let’s be a favor!

At the same time, I ordered more than ten dishes for my table, and most of them are the most expensive hard dishes in the store. Seeing the plate after plate of hard dishes, Lu San and Du Lang next to me were drooling Here comes, Zhang Twelve said with a smile: "You two sit down and eat together, otherwise how can you finish eating so many dishes?"

The two looked at each other, a little awkward, how could they be at the same table with Miss Young Master?
Zhang Twelve couldn't stand these two people pretending to be ink marks the most, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you two don't eat, I'll ask you two for another bowl of noodles!"

"........."

When Du Lang and Lu San heard this, they were shocked. They almost vomited after eating noodles on the boat, but they still ate noodles when they got off the boat—to death!

He quickly sat down, looking very funny...
