Chapter 34 Kawakami Merchant

After finding the middle-aged scholar's boat, Yinyue frowned.

"Girl, this boat is too small to fit our carriage."

Even if they were secret guards, they would not travel in such a small and crude boat.

On such a hot day, there is not even a shelter.

People who cross the river will be hot and stupid.

Xie Qingyun got off the carriage, looked at the boat in front of her, and then at the calm river under the sun.

"That's it."

She just wanted to get to her destination quickly, and it didn't matter if she suffered a little.

The emperor had already spoken, so naturally Yin Yue had no objection.

So a group of four people parked the carriage on the shore, and Yin Yue easily unsaddled the horse.

"You're not needed here anymore, go ahead." Silver Moon patted the horse's head.

The horse was spirited, exhaled, and quickly turned around and galloped back.

At this time, Tianseng also got out of the carriage. He changed into his ordinary clothes and wrapped his head with a cloth to conceal his identity as a monk.

Avoid drawing too much attention to their group.

Xie Qingyun was the first to board the ship and took a seat at the bow.

The coachman followed closely behind. He called him Yinsheng, and he and Yinyue were brothers and sisters of the same generation.

Soon, Tianseng and Yinyue also got on the boat.

After the three of them sat down, Yin Sheng took up the oar and quickly sailed the boat away from the shore.

The level of the Duyue River is slow and the surface of the river is not very wide. Yin Sheng estimated that a quarter of an hour would be enough.

He rowed the boat vigorously, and there was no obstruction on the sparkling water, and he could see everything from front to back, left, and right.

Apart from them, there was no other ship on the huge river.

What's strange is that when their boat reached the middle of the river, a boat suddenly appeared not far away.

A ship suddenly appeared in sight out of nowhere.

The ship was loaded with cargo and was heading towards them.

what is this?
Where did it come from?

Yin Sheng stared at the ship in disbelief.

Yinyue subconsciously stood in front of Xie Qingyun and was ready.

However, nothing happened. Although the ship was approaching, it did not make any move to attack.

There was a man in his thirties standing on the boat, smiling at Silver Moon: "Girl, do you want to buy something?"

Silver Moon held the weapon in her hand and responded with a bright smile: "Okay."

When the two ships were about to approach, Yinyue raised her feet and flew onto the man's ship.

The ship was not big. Yinyue glanced around and saw nothing but cargo.

"Is there anything to shade the sun?" Yinyue asked.

The man pulled out an umbrella from nowhere, and then held out a small thing like a windmill.

He handed the umbrella to Yinyue and held the windmill: "Look at this, there is a rocker here. As long as you shake it, the windmill will turn."

He demonstrated to Yin Yue, and sure enough, the windmill began to rotate under his control, and soon the wind blew towards Yin Yue, taking away a trace of the heat.

Yinyue's eyes brightened: "How much is this thing..."

Before the word Qian could be uttered, water quickly rose up on their side of the water, and then several black figures jumped out of the water.

The sharp knife in Yinyue's hand pressed against the neck of the Kawakami merchant in the next second, and led him to jump back to his ship.

The next second, I saw that the man's cargo ship was completely overturned. A knife was cut from the middle, splitting the ship into pieces in an instant.

Everything happened so fast that the Kawakami merchant didn't even have time to react.

However, the cold touch on his neck reminded him of his current situation.

"My hero, please spare my life." The man suddenly had a knife pressed against his neck, and his legs were a little weak.

Silver Moon held the man hostage, and now she finally saw clearly who the black figure that jumped up was——

It's a familiar face.

"Yunyang?"

Yinyue's face darkened: "What are you doing?"

Yunyang and several Jinyi guards stood on the wreckage of the split ship, and said with a dark face, "Catch him."

He briefly explained the rumors about Kawakami Shop to Yinyue.

"Those tea drinkers said that the things this man sold were unique in the world, and that his boat was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace..."

He was worried that this person would be harmful to His Majesty.

Of course Yunyang would not say this in front of outsiders.The merchant from Kawakami also heard what Yunyang said and quickly screamed for injustice.

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I am really a businessman."

Merchant Kawakami said: "My boat comes and goes indefinitely because it can dive."

Because the ship was split, he could only explain a few words about the structure of the ship.

"The villain was doing business on the shore a few years ago. Because the business was so good, he was always charged protection fees for no reason. He had no choice but to move to the river."

The reason for building a boat that can submerge in the water is all to hide from the bullies who want to steal money.

As for the fact that the things he sells are unique, that's because: "These products are all made by villains themselves."

He has been fond of making handicrafts since he was a child.

Later, when I grew up, at the request of my parents, I took part in several county examinations, but failed in them all.

After that, I started studying my handiwork at home with peace of mind.

Now I make a living by selling myself these new gadgets.

The businessman on Kawakami looked sad.

His ship...his cargo...

"Yunyang."

The person who spoke out this time was Xie Qingyun.

"Compensate," she said.

When the emperor spoke, Yunyang did not dare to be hesitant. He quickly pulled the money bag from his waist and handed it over: "Here are two 500 taels of silver notes and a few ingots of silver. Do you think they are enough to make up for your loss?"

This change of attitude was too fast... Merchant Kawakami didn't dare to accept it.

Soon the knife from his neck was removed.

He saw the girl who had looked fierce just now taking out a handkerchief from her sleeve with a smile on her face.

While wiping him, Yinyue apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, I scratched you."

In fact, there is no blood at all, but the skin has been cut.

The Kawakami merchants were even more at a loss.

He looked at the woman who had just spoken, confused.

Although the woman looked very noble, looking at her dress, she was just an ordinary girl from a private family.

Even the daughter of the head of her village is better dressed than her.

But it was such a woman who could make the famous Jin Yiwei and the girl with outstanding martial arts immediately change their attitudes with just four words.

What a wonder this is.

That's Jin Yiwei.

The village chief could only kneel down when he saw him.

When Yunyang saw that the Kawakami merchant did not accept his money bag, he became a little anxious: "What, isn't it enough?"

The Kawakami merchant came to his senses and did not dare to neglect: "No, no, no, you don't need so much."

Xie Qingyun said: "Keep it."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a sense of oppression.

The Kawakami merchant was frightened and did not dare to say no more. He quickly took the money bag and put it into his chest.

"Thank you... this girl." Merchant Kawakami thought carefully about his words.

Xie Qingyun waved her hands indifferently and said, "What you just showed is very interesting."

"Since you have such skills, have you ever considered serving the imperial court?"

The Kawakami businessman scratched his head in embarrassment: "They are just inferior things. I... To be honest, I have taken several county exams and failed in them all."

Xie Qingyun said: "Exams are not the only way to measure a person's ability."

"Next spring, there will be a new exam called "Technical Examination". I hope you can take part."

The Kawakami merchant was stunned.

Skill lift?
What is it?
However, before he could ask, the next second he was already taken away from the ship by Jin Yiwei.

"We'll take you home."

Yunyang had an "accommodating" look on his face.

The Kawakami merchant trembled and wanted to say no.

However, looking at Yunyang's face, he choked back the words that came to his lips.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

The Kawakami merchant closed his eyes.

He just wants to go home quickly.
