Chapter 929: Little Sly Jiang Stealing Eggs! Father and Daughter Meet! (3)
The few of them waited at the endless dock.
Suddenly, Shadow Thirteen, who had gone to investigate, returned and reported to Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan, “There are two ships crossing the sea once every ten days. There happens to be the last ship today, but…”
At this point, he revealed a troubled expression.
“But what?” Yu Wan asked.
Shadow Thirteen said, “They only accept people from the Jade Nation and those with business tickets from the Jade Nation. We don’t have these, so we can’t board the ship.”
“Where did you get the business ticket?” Yu Wan asked.
Shadow Thirteen also asked about this. “You can get it in the city with money, but I can’t do it today.”
Yu Wan frowned and said, “In other words, we can’t board the ship today? But if we miss this trip, the next ship will be ten days later. No, we can’t wait that long! ”
Shadow Thirteen gripped his sword tightly. “Why don’t—”
“You young people are just impulsive. Can’t we talk nicely? Why do you have to do this?” Yu Shaoqing, who had been silent all this while, spoke. Although Yu Shaoqing was a general, war was to protect the country. In private, he was not a person who would fight at any chance.
He said seriously, “I’ll go talk to them and reason with them. I believe they’ll let us on the ship.”
As Yu Shaoqing thought this, he really went. He came to the dock where the ship was boarding and asked a pageboy who was carrying goods, “May I ask where your boss is?”
The pageboy pointed casually.
“Thank you.” Yu Shaoqing followed his finger and came to a small teahouse near the docks.
Today was the day to go out to sea, and the teahouse was packed with people. The shopkeeper was too busy and didn’t pay much attention to Yu Shaoqing, who was walking towards him.
Yu Shaoqing asked, “May I know if the captain of that ship is around?”
The shopkeeper ignored him.
Yu Shaoqing took out a certain amount of money.
After the shopkeeper received the silver, he looked at Yu Shaoqing. It had to be said that he had lived for more than half of his life and had seen countless people. He had never seen such a handsome, mighty, and extraordinary man. The shopkeeper pointed at a room in the hall and whispered, “The first-in-charge isn’t around. Go find the second-in-charge. Don’t say that I told you.”
“Thank you!” Yu Shaoqing thanked him sincerely and walked towards the room.
After he had walked far away, another shop assistant came over and said to the shopkeeper, “Second Boss hates this kind of pretty boy with tender skin. Wouldn’t you be letting him have a death wish if you sent him over?”
The sandstorm that Yu Shaoqing had suffered in the military camp had long been nurtured by Little Sly Jiang. It was fair and tender, and everyone would believe that he was less than thirty.
The shopkeeper weighed the silver in his hand. “He has a death wish. Can you
blame me?”
Yu Shaoqing did not know that he was about to step into a tiger’s den. He saw that the door was wide open and there was a bearded and burly man sitting on the yokeback armchair. He walked over politely and said, “Excuse me, are you the Second Boss?”
The man glanced at him coldly and narrowed his eyes.
Yu Shaoqing cupped his hands and said, ‘My family and I have something urgent to go out to sea. As we don’t know the market of your land in advance, we didn’t have time to apply for a business ticket. I hope you can make it easy for us. We’ll make up for the business ticket later. We won’t treat you badly in terms of the price.”
Second Boss looked at Yu Shaoqing’s handsome face and clenched his fists tightly.
Yu Shaoqing saw that the water on the stove was ready. He picked up the kettle and turned around to make tea for the second boss. “In addition, my family knows medicine. If any of the sailors suffer from illnesses and disasters on the way to the sea, my family can provide medical skills and medicine for free.”
Naturally, Second Boss would not agree to him. What was a ship passenger? If he was sick, so be it. If he died, so be it. Was there a need to save him?
On the other hand, this pretty boy’s pretentiousness really annoyed him. Just as Second Boss was about to send Yu Shaoqing flying with a punch, a fair hand suddenly reached out from behind the armchair, grabbed his collar, and dragged him behind the green gauze cabinet!
Yu Shaoqing didn’t know what Second Boss had experienced, but when he turned around, Second Boss was gone.
When he turned around again, Second Boss had returned to his chair. However, he did not know if it was her imagination, but Second Boss’s body seemed to be trembling.
“Ah Wan!”
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Shaoqing returned in high spirits.
Behind him was the trembling Second Boss, Third Boss, and the Boss who was known as the overlord of the sea.
Yu Wan looked at her father and the burly men who had come with him strangely. “Dad, who are they?”
Yu Shaoqing chuckled and said, “Let me introduce them to you. They’re the first, second, and third leaders of this ship. They’re here to invite us aboard! Who said they’re unreasonable? We’ve really misunderstood them. They’re very good people. They heard that we have an urgent matter and need to board the ship. They even waived the ship’s fees and specially came to help us carry our luggage!”
The corners of Shadow Thirteen’s mouth twitched. ‘
Are you sure he and the Master met the same group of people?
Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao, and the others were respectfully invited onto the ship. Just as Yu Shaoqing had said, they really did not ask for a single copper coin from them. Not only that, they even gave up the luxurious room they were staying in.
Yu Wan was stunned. “This isn’t appropriate, right? Isn’t it too troublesome?” The three of them shook their heads like rattle drums. “No trouble, no trouble!”
Yu Wan smiled awkwardly. “Let’s go stay in the small room. We’re already very embarrassed to make an exception and board the ship. If we take over your room…”
The three of them said in unison, wishing they could kneel down in front of Yu
Wan. “No, no, no! Please don’t stay in the small room, Miss!”
If you stay in the small room, we have to enter the haunted house! Boohoo, that woman was so scary!
Boss: “Our people from Jade Nation are very hospitable!”
Second Boss: “That’s right! Foreign guests are paramount! We can’t embarrass the Jade Nation!”
Third Boss: “You guys stay here!”
Yan Jiuchao entered the room calmly. “I can’t refuse their kindness. Just stay here.”
The three of them were relieved!
On the other hand, when Yu Wan and the others boarded the ship to go out to sea, Sikong Ye had also arrived in the Capital of Nanzhao.
The Emperor still did not know that his father-in-law had traveled thousands of miles to Nanzhao. He was arguing with Consort Yun. So many days had passed, but Consort Yun was still clamoring for a divorce.
He had already conferred her as the Empress. What else did she want?
“Your Majesty, Her Majesty threw the phoenix crown and golden seal again… Her Majesty said that it’s better for Your Majesty to dream than let her be the Empress…” The eunuch said with a long face.
“Bastard! Is this something a concubine should say? Am I spoiling her too much? I’ve repeatedly tolerated her. Does she really think that the power of the Emperor is a joke?!” The Emperor was furious and flicked his sleeves to Consort Yun’s bedchamber.
The door to the bedchamber was tightly shut.
The Emperor said sternly, “Open the door!”
With a rumble, the door opened. However, the first thing he saw was not his newly conferred Empress, Shen Yun, but a silver-haired, tall, sage-like man. “You are…” The Emperor was stunned.
“Yun’er, is this the man who bullied you and Little Ah Shu?” As soon as Sikong Ye said this with internal energy, the Emperor, who was about to punish Consort Yun, knelt down with a thud!
