Chapter 1868 Gray Whale Harbor
Small places like Shizhoutou and Liuping have little connection with the outside world, and materials are not easy to export. Fortunately, large allied cities such as Jucheng have developed rapidly in recent years, and commercial goods are prosperous. People have higher requirements for food and drink, and the sales of various spices have also improved.
The two small towns finally had a stable source of income.
However, Yang Meng's troubles also followed. The Liu family behind Liu Chengshou had always wanted to get Shi Zhoutou back, and it would be best if Liuping was also taken. Yang Meng and the people in the city were unwilling to do so. He and the Liu family had failed to reach an agreement after several attempts to use force failed, so they dug up the mountain road that Shi Zhoutou used to transport goods to the outside world, and did so twice.
The subordinate came over and asked, "Sir, if the Nine Nether Emperor really comes, what should we do?"
There were rumors of wind and rain outside, and it looked like the dragon god was approaching and a storm was about to come.
Yes, if Emperor Jiuyou really came, what would they do?
“The two cities all worship the Dragon God. Look at these people, they worship the Dragon God every day.” Yang Meng tilted his chin toward the window, “The Dragon God saved their lives. No, he saved our lives. If he really comes, I will——”
He rubbed his chin and suddenly said viciously: "I will destroy the Liu family first!"
The subordinates were stunned, but immediately understood.
Shizhoutou and Liuping are both places that have received great favors from the Dragon God.
"Anyway, we've been sharpening our weapons, feeding our horses, and preparing our personnel these days." Yang Meng clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fire, "I always feel that big things are great!"
……
Two days later, in the northern part of the Golden Plains, Gray Whale Port.
This area of water is warm and rich in aquatic products, and is the summer habitat of whales, hence the name.
When He Lingchuan returned to Gray Whale Harbor by boat, he saw a huge group of whales outside the harbor, with countless seagulls following behind them, waiting to pick up some leftovers.
He took Dong Rui, Wanqi Feng and more than ten others and jumped onto the dock to return the ship to the Maritime Customs.
There is only one ship.
He had sailed from here before, and the boat was also hired.
Aunt Zhu also strolled slowly in the harbor. Her hard shell was shiny black in the bright sunshine, which was particularly eye-catching, attracting a few glances from people coming and going.
Just two eyes.
There are many monsters near this harbor, so it's not surprising to see such a big spider. The locals are well-informed and will not be as surprised as the ignorant people in other parts of the plains.
But Gray Whale Port is not very lively. Its area, buildings, and level of prosperity are a bit like Julu Port three years ago, when He Lingchuan had just gone to Shanjin for inspection from the Yangshan Islands.
Even the Maritime Customs Office was an old, dilapidated building with a hole in the eaves that hadn't been repaired in who knows how long.
Looking at the expressions of the civilians and porters again, they were similar to those in Julu Port at that time, empty and numb, as if they lived just to work, and worked just to get a bite to eat.
However, there are quite a few ships here, big and small.
As soon as He Lingchuan entered the Maritime Customs Office, he heard someone shouting, "Where are my ships? My five ships were supposed to return to the port five days ago!"
"My three!"
"I have four large ships staked in it. I can't receive cargo and make money these days! Compensate for our losses!"
He and Dong Rui walked in and saw that seven or eight people surrounded the manager of the Maritime Customs, pointing at his nose and cursing: "It was you who handled the ship hiring procedures for those unlucky people! There were a total of 18 large ships, and we spent a lot of effort to get them together! Now it's overdue, Gray Whale Port compensates us for our losses!"
The manager was unhappy: "The money they paid was enough to buy all your ships with a lot left over! I didn't see you complaining about it being too much at the time."
What a joke, who would complain about having too much money?
One of them sneered, "It's written in black and white, that's the hire money, it's for renting a ship, not buying it! What, you don't recognize it? There are also crew members and sailors on board, all experienced veterans, they were all rented by them, and now no one has come back! Who else should I ask for compensation for this loss if not you?"
"Do you know who the employer is?" The steward sneered, "The Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace!"
"What the hell?" These people in this remote area had never heard of "Heavenly Palace" or "Du Yunshi".
"Does Beijia know? The Northern Monster Country!" The steward looked at them as if they were country bumpkins, even though they were. "They are high-ranking officials from the Northern Monster Country, and they are sent out to sea on orders from the gods! If you dare to make them uncomfortable, you'll be dead!"
"What..." The ship owners who were causing trouble looked at each other.
He Lingchuan took the opportunity to hand over the pledge: "Return the boat."
The steward took the pledge and his attention was not on him at first, but when his eyes swept over the monkey on Dong Rui's shoulder, he was suddenly startled. Then he saw Aunt Zhu stretching in the sun outside, and suddenly he froze.
"Return the boat." He Lingchuan urged him again.
The manager then said "oh" twice and handed the deposit to his subordinates: "Return the deposit to him."
The deposit can only be retrieved after the boat is returned.
Seeing that they were ignored, the boat owners were so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to beat people. Those who could make a living in this poor and remote place were not good people. But before they raised their fists as big as sand bowls, the manager shouted first, and then the room began to shake.
A brown bear walked out of the back hall. Its shoulders were taller than those of a human, and it was fat and strong, as round as a ball, with ferocity written in its eyes.
As soon as it came out, the ship owners subconsciously stepped back several steps.
The giant bear walked in front of the steward, stood up, and was more than ten feet tall. It raised its millstone-sized front paw, looked down at everyone with its blood-red eyes, and spoke in human language: "Who is causing trouble?"
The anger of the ship owners was suppressed in an instant.
He Lingchuan didn't care and turned around and left the Maritime Customs.
"Get out of here! If you make trouble again, it will eat you!" The manager took advantage of the bear's power and stared at the backs of He Lingchuan and others.
There are two monkeys and a giant spider. Are these the people the superiors told us to watch out for?
He Lingchuan walked out along the slope and didn't meet many people on the way.
Even Aunt Zhu felt sorry: "Compared with Julu Port, this place is too desolate. Such a good geographical location is wasted."
Following He Lingchuan around the country and starting from scratch, it is also an experienced spider. It can see at a glance that Gray Whale Port is the best deep-water port within a radius of 300 miles and has a superior geographical location. Unfortunately, the local operation is too poor.
You can take a boat here to go to the islands in the north or the countries in the west.
"That's good." He Lingchuan was pragmatic and said a few fair words for the locals, "After all, this is not human territory."
Humans are naturally good at business, but monsters rarely have this talent.
Including Gray Whale Harbor, this vast area within a radius of 500 miles is the territory of the demon clan!
There are many deep mountains and swamps in the northern and eastern parts of the Shining Gold Plains. Human power is weak, and most of these places are occupied by demons.
