Chapter 371: Stupid people have too much money
Extreme weather does not occur every day at sea. The rainstorm that Ye Tang and his team experienced this time only occurs once every five or six years.
Three days later, the sea returned to calm, the clouds and fog dispersed, and Ye Tang and his companions saw a large shore. There were countless maritime patrol teams in the waters near the shore. In addition, there were fishermen not far from the shore.
After getting closer, Ye Tang and his group saw the city wall on the land, which was tall and big.
A group of seagulls flew by, with blue sky, white clouds, sea and land. This is the Kingdom of Penglai.
For an ordinary person to go to Penglai Kingdom, it takes more than half a year for a round trip, and about two months of sailing on the sea.
Ye Tang and his group had a large ship provided by the City Lord's Mansion. The speed of this ship was much faster than that of ordinary ships. In addition, with the guidance of Chi Long and the law enforcement team, they did not take any detours and arrived at Penglai Kingdom much faster.
If they hadn't encountered extreme weather and the wind direction at sea had not been a bit wrong in recent days, they would have arrived at their destination earlier.
Knowing that there would be envoys from the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Penglai arranged for officials from the Ministry of Rites to welcome them. The leading official was the Minister of Rites Li Lun, and on his left and right were the left and right vice ministers.
The momentum was not grand, but it was grand enough and the etiquette was appropriate.
The ship docked, and after getting off the ship and saying goodbye to Chi Long and his party, the Yuan Dynasty delegation followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to the post station to rest.
Li Lun said politely, "It is getting late today. King Pingshan and Princess Pingshan should rest here for one night. We will set off for the Imperial City the next morning."
Penglai Kingdom is close to the sea in three directions. The areas not close to the sea have endless primeval forests connected to the northern wing.
Although it is connected to the North Wing, the people of the North Wing dare not enter because the forest is too large and extremely dangerous. If they want to come to Penglai Kingdom, they have to take a detour and take a boat.
For the Yuan Dynasty, Beiyi, Fuso, and Xuanyue, traveling to Penglai by boat was the safest and shortest way.
The staple foods of Penglai Kingdom are also rice and wheat, and the yield is quite high.
Ye Tang and his group's dinner today consists of shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone and fish maw, a mixture of local delicacies and seafood.
After tasting the dishes, Ye Tang felt that the ingredients were good, but the cooking methods were monotonous and not very tasty.
Jamel Xiao leaned close to her ear and said, “It’s not as delicious as what you made.”
Ye Tang said proudly: "That's right, don't you see who I am?"
Xiao Jingxuan added: "It's still quite early. I heard from the postmaster that there is a night market here. Do you want to go for a stroll?"
Ye Tang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes, I've been on the boat for more than ten days and I'm bored to death."
After dinner, the two asked Liu An and others.
Liu An waved his hand tiredly and said, "Master is a little seasick, so I won't go. You guys go!"
Hong Longfei and Dugu Wushuang also said they did not want to go as they were not feeling well and just wanted to go back to their room to rest.
Ye Qianbai didn't go either. After getting ashore, he looked dazed. He was distracted while eating and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Ye Tang asked with concern.
Ye Qianbai said with an unpleasant expression: "Since I came ashore, I have felt very uncomfortable, as if my master is nearby."
"He is calling me to complete the task as soon as possible."
Ye Tang was shocked: "How did he summon you?"
Xiao Jingxuan had clearly checked his great-uncle and found that there was no poison in his body.
Ye Qianbai shook his head: "I don't know either, it's just your feeling. After all, my mission has been delayed for a long time."
When he said this, his eyes shifted to Liu An.
Liu An's beard twitched, and he stood up, looking at him defensively: "What are you looking at me for? You want to kill me again? I tell you, if you dare to attack me again, I will poison you to death."
Ye Qianbai retracted his gaze and said to Jamel Xiao, "Give me a few pills. If I can't control myself, I'll take them. It would be best if I can be poisoned to the point of fainting."
Without saying anything, Jamel Xiao gave Ye Qianbai three pills: "I made this medicine recently. It will be enough to make you faint. Just take one pill at a time. If you take too much, I'm afraid you won't wake up."
The poison in Ye Qianbai's body changes in many ways, so he has to frequently develop new drugs and improve their efficacy, otherwise he will not be able to control Ye Qianbai.
Ye Qianbai took the medicine and went to the room.
Ye Tang and his companion left the post station without taking any guards with them.
The two took a carriage to the night market.
The night market is not far from the post station, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by horse carriage.
There is a sea breeze at night and the air is cool.
The night market is bustling with people.
This small town is not big, but it has a lot of people. Everywhere you look, you see heads.
There are countless small vendors in the night market, selling all kinds of toys and food. Poets, children, fishermen, prostitutes, etc. can be seen everywhere.
After eating seafood on the boat for several days, Ye Tang was tired of it and had no interest in the seafood at the night market because the taste was too bland.
While no one was paying attention, she took out a bag of spicy noodles and ate while walking.
Some passers-by smelled the aroma of the spicy strips and looked towards them.
Seeing that they were not dressed like people from Penglai, those people were very curious.
A woman was watching turtles with her child when she suddenly smelled spicy noodles and turned to look at Ye Tang.
The little guy stared at the spicy strips in Ye Tang's hand.
Ye Tang smiled at him, and the little guy smiled back. Just as he was about to run towards Ye Tang, his mother stopped him in time: "Don't leave your sight. If you get lost, where can I find you?"
The child struggled, and the woman then noticed that her child wanted to go to Ye Tang's place, so she pulled the child tighter: "You can't go, come on, come on, follow me."
"Mom!" The child was very unhappy.
Seeing that the woman was unwilling to let her child get close to her, Ye Tang shrugged and smiled, said nothing, and walked away holding Xiao Jamel Xiao's hand.
"Husband, I suddenly miss Yun Ting very much. I wonder what he is doing now?"
"What else can I do? I'll just make trouble for Dad and Ping An!"
As they were walking around, they suddenly saw someone selling dolphins.
"Can dolphins be sold?" Ye Tang pulled Xiao Jingxuan over.
Dolphins are difficult to catch and are very popular at night markets. Rich people like to buy them as pets, but some also buy them to be slaughtered, which is very expensive.
As soon as Ye Tang and the others passed by, they heard a fat man drooling and saying, "I haven't eaten dolphin meat for a long time. This dolphin looks plump and delicious."
Ye Tang took a deep breath. The people here actually ate dolphin meat and were not afraid of being poisoned to death.
Ye Tang looked up and saw an extremely rare purple dolphin caught in a large net and placed in a huge wooden barrel, with a weak breath.
Most of the people around were discussing how to divide the dolphin and competing to bid for it.
Ye Tang let go of Jamel Xiao’s hand: “I want to buy it.”
Jamel Xiao didn't hesitate at all, he strode forward and shouted, "One thousand taels, I want this dolphin!"
Everyone present looked towards Jamel Xiao and the other person.
"These two are dressed very strangely."
"I remember now. They are from the Yuan Dynasty. Didn't the Yuan Dynasty's envoys arrive today? I saw a little bit of them from a distance. These two people are the prince and princess of the Yuan Dynasty."
“They’re really good looking.”
"People in the Yuan Dynasty didn't eat dolphins, so why are they joining in the fun?"
"I guess he wants to buy it back to keep as a pet. The dolphins in our Penglai country are so beautiful."
"One thousand taels, how generous! Although dolphins are precious, they are not worth one thousand taels."
"They are stupid and have a lot of money."
Ye Tang and the other person ignored what these people said, squeezed to the front, and said to the stall owner: "Do you want to sell it?"
The stall owner finally came to his senses and quickly said, "Sell, sell, sell."
In the past, a dolphin could be sold for a maximum of five hundred taels of silver. This time, I met a sucker who actually offered one thousand taels of silver. I made a profit, a profit!
Ye Tang and his companion asked the stall owner to help deliver the goods and carried the dolphin to the beach.
The stall owner was wondering when he heard Ye Tang say, "Put it back into the sea."
Stall owner: “…” It turns out that he is stupid and has a lot of money!
