Take Taobao to ancient times

No matter where it is, gold, silver and jewelry are the most expensive, and even in such a small country, the price of gold, silver and jewelry is even more expensive, so it is basically impossible to buy cheap gold and silver jewelry here.

And this time, every ship that went to sea brought a large amount of porcelain, silk, gold and silver, and precious medicinal materials, just to be able to exchange for some things they didn't have, such as emeralds and jade, which are relatively precious. It is not rare for them.

But after finding a small country, their next journey went much smoother, basically the ships kept following the coast.

Yu Xia had been living with pirates before, and he was familiar with the small countries around him. Apart from this area, there were other islands and coasts, and they all visited one by one.

Every time I go to a new place, I will buy a lot of seeds, see strange animals, and bring some cubs to be watched by a special person. In addition, I will exchange porcelain for spices and jewelry.

Lu Siyu's goal is still to target those diamonds that have not yet been exploited. Almost everywhere he goes, he will send people ashore to buy all the diamonds, not to mention the issue of processing, but the value of diamonds is certain.

"Master Zhuang, Mr. Lu, the king of this country wants to see you two." Yu Xia came back with a group of people and said these words.

"King? What did he see us for?" Zhuang Jinhan frowned.

"It seems that they want to trade with us for a long time." Yu Xia thought for a moment and said something more appropriate.

"What do you think of this king?" Zhuang Jinhan looked at Yu Xia and asked.

"According to what the villain saw, the king seems to be in a state of desperation, and the country seems to be in civil strife." Yu Xia tried his best to tell what he saw.

"Then from what you've seen, why did he come to us?" Zhuang Jinhan continued to ask.

"Maybe they want to ask us for help." Yu Xia said cautiously.

"Ask us for help? How do they know that we can help, and why did they come to us?" Lu Siyu asked suddenly, but his words were aimed at Yu Xia. After all, among all the people who went this time, Yu Xia was the only one who could communicate with those people. .

"The villain never disclosed any information," Yu Xia knelt down hastily, "It's just that this time when I went to exchange goods, I met a few nobles, and the villain told us our origins. It can destroy a large area of ​​land, so I let the villain come to intercede, hoping to help them."

"You agreed?" Zhuang Jinhan looked at him with questioning eyes.

"No, the villain just said that he has never heard of such a thing on our ship, and he will only find out when he comes back and ask." Yu Xia said quickly, clearing his responsibility.

Zhuang Jinhan nodded and looked at Lu Siyu: "What do you think, Brother Yu?"

Lu Siyu smiled slightly: "The internal affairs of other countries have nothing to do with you and me."

"What Brother Yu said is very true," Zhuang Jinhan nodded, "We are going to sea this time only to exchange goods, and we have no intention of meddling in other countries' domestic affairs. Yu Xia, you go and answer and say that we only have porcelain and silk on board this time, and no gunpowder. .”

"Yes, my lord," Yu Xia nodded hastily, with doubts in his heart, "My lord, they said that if we can provide gunpowder, they will give us a lot of gold, silver and jewels. This..."

"Are we short of those gold, silver and jewelry?" Zhuang Jinhan looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we have no shortage." Yu Xia shook her head quickly, thought about the goods on these ships, and nodded silently in her heart. They really did not lack those gold, silver and jewelry.

"Since this country is about to go to war, it is inconvenient for us to stay here for a long time. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Zhuang Jinhan frowned. Although he once wanted to fight on the front line, he was not interested in other countries' internal affairs, so he left as soon as possible to avoid harming Chi Yu .

"Brother Yu, if you hear any noise at night, try not to go out." Zhuang Jinhan specially instructed Lu Siyu again.

"Brother Zhuang means that maybe someone will do something at night?" Lu Siyu was surprised, they just found out the news, yet someone would do something?

"I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, it's better to be careful." Zhuang Jinhan said immediately.

"Well, I will pay attention." Lu Siyu nodded quickly, and he also felt that in his own situation, if he really encountered danger, it would be really difficult to escape.

At night, the defenses on the ship were indeed much tighter than usual. During the meal, Lu Siyu felt that everyone's nerves were tense all the time.

However, he also breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that he would be able to do so immediately tomorrow morning. He only hoped that the other party would not attack them so quickly so that they could leave this place safely.

I thought so in my heart, but when Lu Siyu went to bed at night, he still didn't wear only his underwear as usual, and he was still fully dressed when he was lying on the bed.

He was going to sleep later than usual tonight, and in a daze, he heard a noise, opened his eyes suddenly, and moved his ears. He was startled when he heard footsteps outside, and it really wasn't a dream.

Is the other party so impatient? They are just passing merchant ships, why should they be put to death?

In just ten seconds, he thought a lot, but he still didn't go out as agreed with Zhuang Jinhan.

Just then, there was a knock on his door.

"who is it?"

"It's me, Mr. Lu, something happened outside, you should be more careful." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Master Wang? Why did you come to my place?" Lu Siyu opened the door, saw Mr. Wang standing at the door, and hurriedly greeted, "Come in, it's dangerous outside."

Hearing what Lu Siyu said, Mrs. Wang sneaked into the room, and after confirming that it was all right, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not like something happened outside, I'm worried that you're scared, so I came here to see you."

Lu Siyu was a little funny. Usually, he saw Mr. Wang as timid as a mouse, but now he took the initiative to come over, it was really strange: "Aren't Mr. Wang afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but at a time like this, what's the use of being afraid?" Mr. Wang walked around the room cautiously while speaking righteous words, looking out the window, looking at the door, and carefully looking through the window at the outside. The situation cannot stop for a moment.

"Master Wang?" Lu Siyu called out.

"En." Master Wang replied, but he didn't look back at him, all his attention was outside.

"Master Wang?" Lu Siyu called again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, the boat is full of strong soldiers from our dynasty, and nothing will happen." Lord Wang leaned directly on the window this time, squinting to see the situation outside, but it's a pity that he couldn't see what was going on outside.

"Lord Wang." Lu Siyu helplessly called him again.

"Huh?" Master Wang finally turned his head and looked at Lu Siyu.

"Master Wang, let's have a cup of tea. There is no good tea on board, so we can only treat you briefly." Lu Siyu handed over the cup and looked at him with a smile.

"Eh..." Mr. Wang was stunned, and took the cup hesitantly, "Aren't Mr. Lu afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Siyu smiled, "Didn't Master Wang just say that the boat is full of strong soldiers from our court, so we naturally don't have to be afraid, and Master Wang doesn't need to look any further, we can't see the outside situation here anyway. It's better to sit down, drink tea and chat."

After speaking, Lu Siyu sat on the chair, and at the same time called Mr. Wang to sit down.

Master Wang took a serious look at him, frowned slightly, but sat down anyway, raised his head and drank the water in the glass in one go.

"I saw that Mr. Wang is thirsty, why don't we have another cup." Lu Siyu poured another cup for Mr. Wang with the teapot.

Regardless of this time, Master Wang didn't drink any more, but looked at Lu Siyu: "I don't know Mr. Lu Guigeng?"

"Fifteen this year." Lu Siyu smiled, if only counting this life.

"Sure enough, he is a boy born of a hero. Mr. Lu's demeanor is really admirable." Mr. Wang couldn't help admiring. From the first time he saw Lu Siyu to now, this kid has refreshed his views time and time again. At a young age, he can It is indeed rare to be fearless in the face of danger.

"Master Wang is just joking. I just believe in Brother Zhuang. With him here, I believe that the people who came to attack this time will never come back." Lu Siyu smiled. It is a bit embarrassing to be said that the hero is a teenager. He is just superficial. The age is only young, the actual psychological age is not young.

"Master Zhuang is indeed a rare genius. Thinking back to when Master Zhuang won three prizes in a row and won the first prize, everyone in the capital thought that Master Zhuang would stay in the capital. Who would have thought that he would ask himself to be the county magistrate, even though Master Zhuang was the county magistrate? Ling has only been around for more than half a year, but his reputation is not small, and everyone says that he is Mr. Zhuang Xiang, a tiger father has no dog." Lord Wang praised.

Lu Siyu looked at him and saw that he really didn't look like a flatterer, and he could guess that he really recognized Zhuang Jinhan's ability, so he felt a little proud for some reason.

"Brother Zhuang is really good, so Mr. Wang doesn't have to worry about us having an accident." Lu Siyu said with a smile.

"Indeed, what Mr. Lu said is very true. I don't know why, after drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Lu suddenly calmed down. We should just stay in the room and wait quietly. Good news will definitely come." He breathed a sigh of relief, no longer feeling anxious before.

Both of them are powerless and unable to participate in the war, so they just stayed quietly in the room, drinking tea, chatting, if it wasn't for the sound of metal clanging outside from time to time , I thought it was such a pleasant scene.

After a long time, the clanging sound outside stopped, and the two of them stopped talking tacitly, but listened to the situation outside.

"Brother Yu." There was a knock on the door.

Lu Siyu heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and opened the door, looked up at the person in front of him with a smile, glanced up and down, then frowned and said, "Brother Zhuang, are you tired?"

At this time, Zhuang Jinhan was not like before. He always looked calm and composed. Even the clothes on his body that had always been meticulous were wrinkled. His hair was not messy, but he was in a worse state than usual.

"Nothing, just anxious to see if Brother Yu is safe, so I panicked a little. Since Brother Yu is fine, I am relieved." Zhuang Jinhan heaved a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to touch Lu Siyu's hair, but he heard a rumor from the side. Come sound.

"Master Zhuang...no...all right?"
