Great Song Pirate

Chapter 222 Tongliao (come early and ask for a monthly pass)
Soon Xue Tu accompanied a man of short stature to the backyard and came to Xu Yi's study room. Although this man was not tall, he was a little fat. He was wearing a merchant's unique silk shirt, with an inch-long gap under his jaw. He has a long beard, and his eyes are not big, but they are shining brightly. He looks like a very shrewd person.

After arriving here, when Xu Yi was looking at him, shopkeeper Yu was also looking at Xu Yi. He was a little confused about who had the final say here, but since shopkeeper Xue brought him here to talk, and Xu Yi was here again Here, Xu Yi must be someone who can talk here, so shopkeeper Yu hurriedly smiled and saluted Xu Yi, and asked Xue Tu: "Shopkeeper Xue, I wonder if this is...?"

"Oh! This is actually the young treasurer of our bodyguard agency. I'm just in charge of taking care of the shopkeeper here. It just so happened that our young treasurer came here. This is not a small matter, so I asked shopkeeper Yu to come over and talk to our young treasurer in person. Take a moment!" Xue Tu quickly explained, the meaning in the words was very clear, that is, Xu Yi had the final say here.

"Disrespect, disrespect! Yu has met the young shopkeeper, what is the young shopkeeper's name?" The shopkeeper Yu hurriedly saluted Xu Yi again.

"My surname is Xu. I didn't know shopkeeper Yu came over just now, so please forgive me. Please sit down. Let's sit down and talk about it!" Xu Yi also said politely.

So the two parties sat down, Daniel came in from the outside and served tea, and then retreated, only the three of them were left in the room, and shopkeeper Yu began to count. From the beginning of 300 people and five boats, to now more than a dozen boats and 800 people, it is absolutely impossible without sufficient strength behind it. What he didn't expect was that this man named Xu The young shopkeeper is still so young, so who is behind this young shopkeeper?
"Just now, a family member has come to tell shopkeeper Yu's request. If we are open to do business, we should not be picky and picky when we come to business. But shopkeeper Yu also knows that we have been here for so long, mainly going to the south. business, and you proposed to go north this time, we are indeed a little embarrassed!" Xu Yi first planted a foreshadowing and said to the shopkeeper Yu.

"Yes, yes! I know this too, but the Escort Bureau has been famous for protecting the fleet from pirates many times over the past year. I have heard it for a long time. This time, Yu has really encountered a difficult situation. The few times I sailed north, my ship was looted by pirates many times, so I begged to come here in desperation, and this time I am willing to pay more money, so I will not let the expensive bodyguards suffer, and I hope the shopkeeper Xu can do it. Send your subordinates on this trip, and Yu will definitely be grateful in the future!" The shopkeeper Yu said hastily.

"There is no need to thank you, but you and I both understand the situation in front of us. The north is now fighting. Shopkeeper Yu went so rashly, but I don't know which side of the business he is going to do?" Xu Yi asked.

"This...Since shopkeeper Xu asked, I will not hide it from you. Presumably shopkeeper Xu doesn't know. In fact, my ancestors used to be Liao people. Although I moved here for a long time, there are still many businesses in the north. Let's trade The man is just asking for a profit. He doesn't care who owns the world. This business must continue. Now that Zhongjing Road has fallen into the hands of the Jinren, shopkeeper Xu must have known it. Now that there are many rogues at sea, it is getting more and more difficult to do business, that's why I thought of asking the Escort Bureau to make such a trip, and also ask Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Xue to help me a lot!" Shopkeeper Yu said very tactfully, which made people feel Can't get hold of him.

"It's not that we don't want to run this business, but it's already winter, and soon the Spring Festival will come. Although it's not too cold here, it's already freezing cold for the north. Traveling during the season, the Bohai Sea in the north may have been frozen! If so, wouldn’t it be difficult to sail? I think otherwise, after the beginning of spring, if shopkeeper Yu wants to go north, we will discuss this at that time Is it okay?" Xu Yi said without haste.

Hearing what Xu Yi said, shopkeeper Yu was a little anxious. He also knew that the north has already cooled down. If the boat doesn't pass as soon as possible, once the Bohai Sea freezes, it will be troublesome, so he hurriedly said: " Shopkeeper Xu said yes, but the Bohai Sea has not frozen yet, and there is no problem with sailing. If it is later, I am afraid it will really freeze. I am transporting some urgently needed goods there. Hurry up to send it before the year, otherwise it will be useless after the next year! It is better to ask shopkeeper Xu for help, if you are not satisfied with the price I offered, shopkeeper Xu just ask, I will raise it even more! "

Xu Yi saw shopkeeper Yu getting anxious, but he was not in a hurry at all. He still said in a leisurely manner: "The price is negotiable. The price that shopkeeper Yu gave is already very high. No matter how high it is, I'm afraid we won't be embarrassed. Yes, such a price can almost buy a fast boat, but I don’t know what kind of goods are so valuable that shopkeeper Yu is willing to pay 500 taels of silver for escort. I’m curious, could it be weapons and armor? If so, then I don’t know who shopkeeper Yu is going to provide these goods to? Could it be that you have betrayed your Lord Liao?”

Shopkeeper Yu’s face changed drastically. How could this Xu Yi be so smart that he guessed his goods right away, and the situation is very delicate now. Song and Liao are at war. Suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but if he is delivering goods to the Jinren, then he has betrayed the Liao Kingdom. After thinking of this, shopkeeper Yu immediately stood up with anger on his face: "Since shopkeeper Xu doesn't want to take this trip Dart, then Yu will not say anything more, as for what I transported, I am afraid that shopkeeper Xu should not worry about it! Farewell!" Saying this, he got up and was about to leave.

"Shopkeeper Yu, please wait. In fact, I am still very interested in this transaction. If I say that I am willing to protect you on this trip, would Shopkeeper Yu be able to make friends with me, Xu?" Xu Yi laughed.

Hearing that Xu Yi suddenly said that he was willing to escort him on this trip, shopkeeper Yu stopped in his tracks and turned around with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Xu Yi just wanted shopkeeper Yu not to be angry when he spoke. I'm afraid what I said just now was what I expected..." Xu Yi asked shopkeeper Yu to sit down and continued. As soon as he changed, he wanted to get up, but Xu Yi stretched out his hand to hold him down: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Yu, it's not too late to speak after I finish speaking. I know you are from Liao, and I can guess that you are still loyal to your Liao lord. But you don't have to worry, no outsiders will know what we said today!"

Shopkeeper Yu was somewhat relieved, so he simply waited to hear Xu Yi finish his sentence. After taking a sip of tea, Xu Yi continued, "To tell the truth, Shopkeeper Yu, although I am from Song Dynasty, I never feel that this big Song was right to use troops against Liao. To put it bluntly, our emperor of Song did a stupid thing. Jin’s power developed very rapidly. In less than ten years, most of Liao was swallowed up. Which one of them We don't have to worry about right and wrong, but if the Jin people continue to develop like this, it will not be a good thing for our Song Dynasty. In my opinion, Da Song should actually form an alliance with Liao. For a hundred years, I have sympathized with you Lord Liao in righteousness!" He looked at shopkeeper Yu's expression at this point, and seeing that shopkeeper Yu's face really showed a gleam of joy, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so After a pause, he took another sip of tea.

"Treasurer Xu is really wise! In fact, many of us Liao people think the same way. Since the Liao and Song Dynasties, the two countries have lived in peace and harmony, and they have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin. If the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty are as insightful as Shopkeeper Xu , Why do we have to meet each other like this? What a pity, what a pity! Now that the Kingdom of Jin has been established, we have to restart our swords after a hundred years of good relations between our two countries, alas..." The shopkeeper Yu finally said Speak from his heart.

In fact, Xu Yi may not have a good impression of the Liao Kingdom. The Chanyuan Alliance at the beginning was undoubtedly a shameful alliance for the Chinese. It is right to fight against the Jin Dynasty, so the Northern Song Dynasty probably won't perish so soon!But he couldn't say that, so he followed Shopkeeper Yu's words and said, "That's right! Unfortunately, I'm just a commoner. I speak lightly and can't affect the overall situation, but personally, I'm still willing to provide some help to Shopkeeper Yu. !"

Hearing Xu Yi's words, shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed immediately, and quickly got up and thanked Xu Yi: "Mr. Yu thanked shopkeeper Xu. If our Daliao is not destroyed, I will definitely tell shopkeeper Xu about today's righteousness if I have a chance. Our Lord Liao learned that we will definitely repay Shopkeeper Xu for your great kindness!"

"Hehe! That's unnecessary. Xu still wants to live for a few more years. If shopkeeper Yu publicizes this matter, don't say you can't keep it here in Hangzhou. I'm afraid my bodyguard agency will also close down. We ran away together for our lives, and a charge of Tongliao was charged, and the imperial court will take advantage of me if they don’t confiscate my whole family!” Xu Yi laughed.

"Thank you for your kindness. In fact, this time, just as shopkeeper Xu expected, I did collect a few ships of armor and was about to send them to our master. The golden men successively captured our Zhongjing and Xijing, forcing us, the Holy Emperor, to After retreating to Jiashan, the army is short of these things, so I was in a hurry to send these things to the north a year ago, and I also hope that shopkeeper Xu can arrange manpower to escort my ship northward as soon as possible, this matter is of great importance!" Now that others have seen through it, if they keep it secret, they are afraid of offending the shopkeeper Xu, so the shopkeeper Yu simply went all out and told the truth, hoping to impress Xu Yi and let him escort the batch of goods to the north as soon as possible. go.

(Don't underestimate this Yu family! It will be of great use in the future! What is the specific use, hehe! Pidao is going to be a secret!)
