Chapter 374 [Outsiders on the Ship]
Master Liao rubbed his hands eagerly: "Then we will set off immediately."
Another half a year passed. He had grown taller and stronger, and wanted to go out and explore the world.
Sheng Zhixing frowned and pondered, "How about we send someone to disguise themselves as a sheep trader from overseas and go to Nanzhao to see what's going on?"
Jiang Lili sat up from the recliner, her eyes full of enthusiasm. "Sure! I'll find someone smart enough to go to Nanzhao and find out what's going on!"
Wen Qiao took some of the pirate group members out to do business, but the third in command of the pirate group, Rong Yi, remained in Mi Country.
After Jiang Lili returned to the capital of the Kingdom of Mi, she asked the third in command of the pirates, Rong Yi, to bring the herdsman Xi Chengyun to disguise themselves as sheep traders.
He first took five sheep as "sales samples" and landed at Haikui City, the most prosperous port in Nanzhao, to look for business opportunities.
Master Liao also clamored to go with Rong Yi. He had been in Mi Country for so long that he was tired of playing around and couldn't wait to see the new place.
He really loves the feeling of having a golden finger and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger to make his way in the world.
Jiang Lili and the others were very worried. After all, Master Liao was not even three years old yet. Over this period of time, they had unconsciously started to treat Master Liao as a child.
"I'm the most suitable person to go!"
"I have the group chat interface to communicate with you. As the Emperor of Nanzhao, Lao Sheng definitely cannot go with us."
Master Liao spoke clearly, "Wen Qiao has gone out to sea. Li Li, you can't easily leave with the backpack in your hand. Brother-in-law Xin Che has to manage the affairs of the three armies. Not to mention Lu Renjia, the socially anxious person, who is staying in the mountains drawing land planning maps. So, after all, I am the only one you can rely on!"
After Master Liao finished speaking, he showed his skills to Jiang Lili and others by doing a handstand.
Jiang Lili and others were left at a loss for words, but they had to admit that what Master Liao said made sense, so after giving him all kinds of instructions, they let Master Liao go.
A day later, Master Liao, Xi Chengyun and Rong Yi, who were well prepared, set off with the five sheep.
In addition, in order to show buyers the advantages of the sheep they have, they also brought various mutton and wool products, from large wool sweaters to small felt toys made of wool.
It normally takes four days to travel from Lutan in Miguo to Haikui City in Nanzhao by water.
Four days later, Master Liao brought Rong Yi and others to Haikui City safely and sent a message to Jiang Lili.
Master Liao came to report that Nanzhao is still in the stage of internal strife, and Sheng Zhixing's rebellious son and daughter have not yet decided the winner, but the fighting in Haikui City has not started yet.
Two days later, Master Liao happily informed Jiang Lili: "Lili, we've found a buyer, and it's a big buyer!"
@Master Liao: We need to provide mutton to the military camp in Aoi City!
Jiang Lili was delighted to hear the news and provided mutton to the military camp!
The demand must be huge, so the sales channel has been opened up!
@ShengZhiXing: How many sheep do they need to be delivered at a time? How often do they need to be delivered sheep?
@Master Liao: We deliver 500 sheep every 20 days. They not only need sheep, but also other meats. I told them we could provide that, and they told us to bring cattle and pigs with us next time we deliver sheep.
But they need it urgently and asked if we could send the first batch of sheep as soon as possible. The deposit has already been handed over to me.
Master Liao posted a picture in the group. In the picture, there was 1,000 taels of silver on the table of the inn.
The price of a sheep varies depending on its weight. Under the price in Nanzhao, 500 sheep can be sold for 1.3 taels of silver each. This batch of sheep can be sold for about 6,500 taels of silver.
@Jiang Lili: Awesome! Master Liao did a great job!
When Sheng Zhixing heard the numbers reported by Master Liao, he recalled the number of troops stationed in Haikui City and calculated based on the consumption rate that the number of troops stationed in Haikui City had increased.
Master Liao had said in the group before that Haikui City is now the territory of his "daughter" Second Princess Sheng Yin.
His second daughter is very resourceful and ambitious. Relying on the original owner's doting on her, she acts in an unbridled manner, and the male favorites under her are also her aides.
@Sheng Zhixing: Then you guys should be extra careful. Li Li and the others are ready to bring the first batch of commercial sheep here.
@Master Liao: Okay! We'll be waiting for you!
Five days later.
After Jiang Lili finished processing the items that needed to be transported to the modern era in a backpack, she and Xin Che, along with 20 disguised Xin family soldiers and 500 sheep, boarded a large cargo ship and set off for Nanzhao.
Su Rui was also taken along. Although Su Rui kept saying that he had gotten over his love problem, Jiang Lili and the others were still worried. Now was a perfect opportunity to take him away from Mi Country to relax.
However, Su Rui's foreign appearance would definitely be conspicuous if he went to Nanzhao. Jiang Lili asked her to stay on the boat and watch over it after arriving in Nanzhao.
In order to conceal their tracks, Jiang Lili and Xin Che played the role of a couple who came to Nanzhao on a merchant ship to do business, bringing their homemade fruit wine to sell.
Because Miguo is located in a tropical region, there are a rich variety of fruits. Fruit wine is also a specialty of Miguo, so it would be best if we could open up sales channels along with it.
Xu Zishen, the deputy general of the Xin family army, and eleven other Xin family soldiers were herdsmen from the same hometown as Rong Yi and his companions.
The remaining Xin family soldiers acted as small vendors doing business on the ship. They were hired to take care of the sheep and do some small business.
The Xin family army was already familiar with such undercover disguise missions. They played their respective roles naturally, hiding the solemn and murderous aura of soldiers, making it impossible for people to detect any flaws.
The governor of the Mi Kingdom Navy predicted the weather for Jiang Lili and planned the sailing route, so their journey went very smoothly for the first three days and there were no natural factors that hindered the journey.
Until the early morning of the fourth day.
The moon was high in the sky and the sea was calm.
Because they play a young couple who have been married for many years, Xin Che and Jiang Lili sleep in a cabin on the side of the ship. Through the tiny window, they can see the sea outside.
The bed in the cabin was not big, so Xin Che gave it to Jiang Lili to sleep on. He stayed by her side holding the bed and bedding.
“Crash—”
Xin Che, who was in a light sleep, heard a few "splashing" sounds of water outside the cabin, as if someone was splashing in the water.
He opened his eyes alertly and woke up Jiang Lili beside him.
Jiang Lili opened her eyes drowsily, rubbed them with the back of her hand, and asked sleepily: "What's wrong?"
Xin Che couldn't help but pinch her soft cheek and warned, "Li Li, there's some noise outside. I'll go check it out. Remember to lock the door."
Jiang Lili's sleepiness disappeared immediately. "Okay, everyone be careful. Call me if you need anything."
After Xin Che left, Jiang Lili propped up the cabin door and notified Su Rui at the same time.
Su Rui replied very quickly. Jiang Lili didn't know whether he was a light sleeper or not sleeping at all and staying up late reading novels.
