"My name is Zhao Da, a medicinal herb merchant from the north,"
Zhao Yuan said with a smile,
"Indeed, he is not from Jiangnan."
"Buying medicinal herbs?"
The lean man frowned, looking suspiciously at the tall, burly men surrounding Zhao Yuan.
"Judging from your demeanor, you don't seem like a businessman at all."
"In this world, officials exploit everyone,"
Zhao Yuan said,
"Below are bandits and mountain strongholds who rob travelers."
"I come from Hebei,"
"This journey of thousands of miles wouldn't have been possible without these men,"
"Those ten or so cartloads of medicinal herbs, wouldn't they have been completely gone long ago?"
"Even I myself would probably have died on the way."
"Even so, I wonder what kind of medicinal herbs the wealthy man is selling,"
The lean man asked,
"Could we buy some from up in the mountains?"
"The hero has spoken too late,"
Zhao Yuan laughed heartily.
"When we went to Siming Mountain before,"
"A total of about ten truckloads of medicinal herbs were all bought up by Siming Mountain."
"If a hero wants to buy medicine,"
"Now the only option is to go to Siming Mountain."
"Siming Mountain..."
The lean man frowned.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan's words were quite convincing,
He didn't ask any more questions.
At this time,
Searching the ships only required four or five henchmen, and that was it.
Come up and report.
"Third Master, we haven't seen that person on the ship."
"Have you searched the entire place, inside and out?"
The lean man asked, still uneasy.
"Everything has been checked,"
The henchman replied,
"Besides these people, there are also some dishes and drinks on this boat,"
"There's nothing else random stuff,"
"Even if you wanted to hide someone, you couldn't."
The lean man nodded.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Yuan.
"We apologize for disturbing the gentleman's boat trip on the lake!"
"Now that the search is complete, we'll take our leave!"
Zhao Yuan returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"It is fate that we meet in the martial world. May I ask your name, sir?"
"How about we all get to know each other and become friends?"
"My name is Zhai Yuan, the Brocade-Scaled Dragon."
The lean man laughed.
"If the wealthy man will still be transporting medicinal herbs to Jiangnan next year,"
"You absolutely must come to our Dongting Mountain!"
"No matter how many medicinal herbs there are, we can handle them all!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhai,"
Zhao Yuan assured him,
"If more medicinal herbs are transported south, I will definitely visit Brother Zhai!"
After some polite exchanges,
Jinlinlong Zhai Yuan and his henchmen
They jumped onto their small boat and headed off into the distance...
Chapter 1198 Shipwright Ye Chun
After watching these people leave,
Zhao Yuan called Zhang Shun over,
She whispered a few words to him.
"Brother, do you mean...?"
Zhang Shun's eyes widened immediately.
"The person they're looking for is hiding in the hull of this ship."
"It's only a possibility,"
Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice,
"I ordered my guards to block the two boatmen,"
"Brother Zhang Shun, you're a good swimmer,"
"Let's go into the water and check it out!"
"Yes!"
It's winter now.
Although it hasn't snowed in Jiangnan.
But the temperature was so low it made people shiver.
But Zhang Shun received orders from Zhao Yuan.
There was no excuse.
to him,
Even in the cold winter of the north,
Zhang Shun was also able to swim freely in the river.
The cold in the south
to him,
Nature is nothing at all.
Jiao Ting, accompanied by his personal guards, went to chat with two old boatmen.
Incidentally, it blocked their view.
Zhang Shun quickly jumped down.
He jumped into the waters of Taihu Lake.
After a while,
He was dragging someone along.
We went hiking and took a cruise.
"Brother, you were right,"
"This guy is clinging to the bottom of our cruise ship."
"How is he now?"
Zhao Yuan glanced at the unconscious man.
Approaching thirty,
Wearing a robe that was neither new nor old,
They didn't look like bandits risking their lives on the edge of a knife.
"He saw me underwater just now, and he was trying to struggle,"
Zhang Shun explained.
“I’m afraid he’ll alert other people,”
"They just strangled him until he passed out."
"Brother, you've worked hard. Go change into dry clothes."
Zhao Yuan instructed,
"Oh, and find this person a clean set of clothes."
Zhang Shun went to change his clothes.
Zhao Yuan's personal guards dragged the unconscious man away.
Just as I was about to change his clothes,
The man suddenly opened his eyes.
Before them stood strangers like Zhao Yuan and his group.
He was about to scream
Two guards immediately raised their hands and covered his mouth.
Zhao Yuan also warned in a low voice,
"Those four dragons from Zhejiang on Dongting Mountain haven't gone far,"
"If you want to lure them here,"
"Just shout it out loud."
Hearing about the four dragons of Zhejiang,
The man's panicked expression
He immediately calmed down.
"Change into these dry clothes first,"
Zhao Yuan said,
"Don't arouse the suspicion of those two boatmen."
When Zhang Shun returned after changing his clothes...
The man had already changed into a dry coat.
