Reading on a mobile phone is even more interesting.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng's group arrived on the deck.
In addition to the sailors controlling the ship, a few passengers also appeared on the deck. The purple-clothed girl's group also appeared on the deck.
Wang Changsheng glanced at the purple-clothed girl and raised his eyebrows. This girl was actually a cultivator, but her cultivation was not high. She was only at the fifth layer of qi refining.
What made Wang Changsheng feel strange was that a cultivator actually needed a few mortals to escort her.
However, this had nothing to do with him. He only wanted to go to the capital and see what the most prosperous city in the mortal world looked like.
After enjoying the cool breeze for a while, the blue-clothed and azure-clothed men's complexions improved and they actually began to recite poems.
The four's actions attracted the attention of the other passengers. After knowing that the four were high scholars heading to the capital for the imperial examinations, the other passengers were filled with respect. Even the purple-clothed girl looked at Chen Qiusheng's group of four a few times.
Wang Changsheng had already retracted his spiritual energy, so the purple-clothed girl did not discover his identity as a cultivator. She only thought that he was an ordinary mortal.
After receiving the praise of the two passengers, the four of them became very interested in poetry and recited a dozen poems in one go. In the end, they even commented on the Great Song Dynasty's decrees.
According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, scholars were not guilty of discussing politics, so the four of them did not have to worry about being punished. However, the other passengers were different. Most of them were merchants and did not have the privilege of scholars. Naturally, they did not dare to casually speak.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Qiusheng's group of four lost interest in continuing the conversation and instead looked at the scenery on both sides of the river.
After a while, the purple-clothed girl left the deck under the escort of the large man with the curly beard.
After enjoying the cool breeze for a while, Wang Changsheng felt a bit bored. He said goodbye to Chen Qiusheng's group of four and left the deck. He returned to his cabin and continued to read the 《Carefree Record》.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Wang Changsheng usually stayed in his cabin and flipped through the 《Carefree Record》. Occasionally, he would go to the deck and enjoy the breeze. His days were very leisurely.
After vomiting a few times, the blue-clothed man and the green-clothed man slowly adapted to the boat and focused on reviewing their lessons in the cabin.
On this day, Wang Changsheng was holding an ancient scroll and reading it with great interest. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three knocks sounded on the door.
Wang Changsheng immediately put down the book, got up and opened the door. A servant in green was standing outside the door, holding a rectangular tray with both hands. On the tray were several fragrant dishes.
Wang Changsheng took the tray from the green-clothed manservant and let him leave.
Although Wang Changsheng had already abstained from eating, he would still eat a few mouthfuls of the food delivered by the manservant.
After closing the door, Wang Changsheng did not eat immediately. Instead, he took out an inch-long silver needle and inserted it into each dish.
This was a move that Wang Changsheng learned from a martial artist in the mortal world. Although he was a cultivator, if he accidentally swallowed poison, his body would be affected to a certain extent.
Of course, Wang Changsheng was only doing his job. In the past half a month, he had not seen the silver needle turn black even once.
When Wang Changsheng pulled out the silver needle from a dish of rapeseed, his expression immediately sank. The tip of the silver needle had turned black.
Wang Changsheng thought for a moment, then took out another silver needle and inserted it into the dish of rapeseed. The result was the same. The silver needle turned black. Clearly, this dish of rapeseed was poisonous. As for what kind of poison it was, he did not know.
Since it was poisonous, Wang Changsheng naturally could not eat it. He opened the wooden window and casually threw the food into the river.
"Oh no!" Wang Changsheng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly opened the door and walked out.
"Qiu Sheng, open the door!" Wang Changsheng's hand heavily slammed on Chen Qiusheng's door.
"Oh, it's Brother Changsheng! Have you eaten lunch yet? "Chen Qiusheng opened the door and greeted Wang Changsheng with a smile. There were still a few grains of rice at the corner of his mouth.
Wang Changsheng did not answer and quickly walked in. When he saw the empty dishes, he frowned.
"You ate all of this food?" Wang Changsheng asked with a frown.
"Yes! What's wrong? "Chen Qiusheng nodded and asked curiously.
"Do you feel unwell? Or is there something wrong? "Wang Changsheng continued to ask.
"En, no. What's wrong? Brother Changsheng, what's wrong? "
"Nothing. There were cockroaches in my food, so I thought there were cockroaches in yours. I was afraid you would have diarrhea, so I came to remind you." Wang Changsheng casually made up an excuse.
"Oh, I see. There were no cockroaches in my food. Thank you for reminding me, Brother Changsheng," Chen Qiusheng suddenly realized and said with a grateful face.
"En, help me call the three of them. I have something to tell them," Wang Changsheng thought for a while and ordered Chen Qiusheng.
"No problem," Chen Qiusheng nodded and immediately walked out.
After a while, Chen Qiusheng returned to the room with the three people in blue.
The space in the cabin was not big, so it was a little crowded with five people.
"Brother Changsheng, I heard from Brother Qiu Sheng that you have something to tell us," the man in blue said.
"Have you eaten lunch? Did you eat all the food? "Wang Changsheng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes! What's wrong? Is there a problem with the food? "The man in blue asked curiously.
Hearing this, the man in blue and the young man in scholarly robes nodded.
"There's no problem. I have a pot of wine here that I want to share with you," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said as he raised a delicate wine pot in his hand.
Of course, this pot of wine was not a top scorer's wine, but a spirit wine that cultivators drank. This spirit wine was brewed with a variety of spirit medicines. If one was poisoned, drinking this wine could detoxify the poison.
Wang Changsheng was worried that there was poison in today's food, so he planned to give this pot of spirit wine to the four of them. Of course, Chen Qiusheng and the others were mortals, so if they drank this spirit wine rashly, they would not be able to withstand it. Wang Changsheng added half a pot of water.
"Top scorer's wine? My family runs a winery, so how come I've never heard of this wine? "The man in blue asked with a puzzled expression.
"This wine is a specialty of my hometown. Not many people know about it, so it's normal that Brother Wencai hasn't heard of it. En, it is said that this wine was brewed by a top scorer. Most of the students who drank this wine were able to pass the exam. Of course, if you don't believe me, you don't have to drink it," Wang Changsheng slowly said with a very calm tone.
The man in blue coughed and awkwardly said, "Cough cough, Brother Changsheng, please don't misunderstand. I was just speaking casually."
"Since Brother Changsheng is so kind, how could the four of us refuse? Come, Brother Changsheng, pour a cup for me. I want to see what this wine tastes like," the scholarly robed young man said in a very forthright manner.
Wang Changsheng nodded and poured a cup for the scholarly robed young man.
With the scholarly robed young man taking the lead, Chen Qiusheng and the others did not refuse and also drank a cup.
"Good wine, Brother Changsheng, this wine is really good wine," the man in blue said with a flushed face and a drunk face.
"Brother Wencai is right, another day … Eh, why am I having a nosebleed?"
"Brother Qiu Sheng also has a nosebleed, Brother Han Ming also has a nosebleed …"
After drinking a cup of the spirit wine poured by Wang Changsheng, the four people's faces were flushed red and they looked drunk. Dark red blood even flowed out of their nostrils.
Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng could not help but smile bitterly. This spirit wine was brewed with many kinds of century-old spirit herbs. Even if it was mixed with water, it was still not something that mortals could bear. After drinking a cup, they already had a nosebleed. If he let them drink a whole pot, their bodies would probably explode.
After saying a few words of nonsense, the four people fell to the ground one after another.
"Pirates, there are pirates!" At this moment, a hurried shout sounded.
In the next moment, a sound of a gong was heard.
"Pirates?" Wang Changsheng frowned. After thinking for a while, he closed the door and walked out.
Wang Changsheng came to the deck and found that more than a dozen sailors had already gathered on the deck. Each of the sailors looked a little nervous.
"Don't panic, don't panic, calm down," the short and stout man appeared on the deck surrounded by several guards and shouted with a serious face.
As soon as the short and stout man appeared, the sailors had a backbone and their expressions eased a lot. However, there was still a touch of worry in their eyes.
At this time, more than a hundred feet in front of the ship, there were five small boats about fifty to sixty feet long. On each small boat stood several fierce big men.
The five small boats were connected in a row, blocking the way of the ship. Behind the ship, there were three small boats, and there were also several fierce men standing on them, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.
"I am Xu Dong of the Fengyuan Enterprise. May I ask which gang you belong to?" The short and stout man walked to the bow of the ship and shouted at the other side.
"My name is Chen Feng of Jiang Zuo Gang." On the boat at the front, a bald man with a ferocious face said loudly.
"So it is the Fifth Leader of the Jiangzuo Gang. Our Fengyuan Enterprise just gave your Jiangzuo Gang a sum of money last month. It seems a little unreasonable for the Fifth Leader to block our ship!" The short and stout man said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, you still have the face to say that? A thousand taels of silver a month, do you think we are beggars? Now I will give you two choices. First, give us ten thousand taels of silver and we will leave immediately. Second, I will let you go and let your boss pay ten thousand taels of silver to redeem you. How about it? You choose one! "The bald man narrowed his eyes and said.
Hearing this, the short and fat man frowned. After a while, he said, "Fifth Boss, we can't take out ten thousand taels of silver right now. Can we pay a portion of it first? You let us pass, and we'll send someone to make up for the remaining two taels of silver in a few days?"
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Either you immediately give me ten thousand taels of silver, or you leave by yourself. I will count to ten. If you don't give me a definite answer, my brothers won't be incompetent! "The bald man said with an ominous glint in his eyes.
The short and stout man frowned and fell into deep thought when he heard this.
"Putong", a guard's body went soft and fell straight to the ground.
Then, the second guard, the third guard, and in the blink of an eye, seven guards fell. Even the sailors controlling the ship fell down.
"What's going on?" The short and stout man's face changed greatly and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, it seems that we don't need to wait for your answer. The Ten Fragrant Tendon Softening Powder has taken effect." Seeing this scene, the bald man laughed and said, "Brothers, go, kill anyone who resists."
Five boats immediately quickly rowed to the short and stout man's ship. The three boats behind also caught up. Obviously, they wanted to attack from the front and back.
Seeing this situation, the short and stout man's face changed greatly. He was about to say something, but his face turned pale. He only felt that he had no strength and his body collapsed on the deck.
At this time, there were no more than five people still standing on the deck. Wang Changsheng was one of them.
