Chapter 21 Disguise

Climbing up the high observation deck on the mast, Xiao Tianlei looked at the sea level in the distance with the remote view provided by the Ice Sagittarius template. There were waves in his ears, and the salty sea breeze blew. This season was not as hot as the sun was hot, and it felt quite comfortable. However, the observation deck was undulating and shaking with the boat. It was really a bit courageous to stay here. When Xiao Tianlei came up for the first time, he almost vomited, and now he was basically used to it.

Last time, she was chased by some pirates on the sea and was like a stray dog. Xiao Tianlei still remembers her embarrassment at the time. This time she went to sea, Xiao Tianlei had been preparing for several months. Although it was just a ship, I believe she could deal with most situations.

In order to facilitate the title, Xiao Tianlei gave the pirate ship he stolen, the Conch.

At this time, the general shape of the hull of the Conch was basically the same as before, but there were differences in many details. Many places on the ship were renovated, with many mechanisms hidden, and there were also flipped shields on both sides. The bow of the ship was equipped with ejectors that could fire incendiary bombs, two iron pipes that could spit fire, etc. It can be said that the Conch was armed to the teeth.

In terms of power, the concept of Xiao Tianlei propeller was ultimately failed to realize. Although it was very simple to make a transmission device and extremely low efficiency. However, some settings of the sails were modified and several soft sails were added, which could hold the wind more than hard sails, allowing the Conch's speed to be a little faster. The more important change is that the Conch's can adjust the direction more flexibly.

I believe that as long as we don’t encounter a large group of pirate ships, Conch can escape safely and even kill all the pirates. However, now is not the time to deal with pirates. The primary task is to go to Yazhouhai City to sell the goods. Moreover, for confidentiality, if Conch enters the sea, if it sees other ships, it will keep a certain distance and not intersect with them.

The sea area south of Lingzhou is generally called Qionghai. The pearls produced are very famous and there are no large pirates. The main reason is that compared with other large states, Lingzhou is a little poorer. Most of the sea merchants are foreign tourists, and there are only a few ships every year. Most of them are large fleets of large gangs. Generally, pirates cannot afford to provoke. The so-called pirates in this sea area are mostly temporary passengers of smugglers selling private salt and other contraband goods. Most of them are small boats. Compared to looting merchant ships, they focus more on plundering each other.

When entering the South China Sea, due to the developed sea transportation, frequent merchant ships and many pirates, they are also humans, and it is impossible for them to be on the sea all day long. It is said that many pirates take money to enjoy themselves on the shore. Do such a business that is licking blood on the knife. No one knows whether they can come back next time, and they are all having fun in time.

Anyway, whether you encounter pirates depends on luck. This time, Conch was lucky. Perhaps Xiao Tianlei had a slightly off-road route in order to avoid other ships. In short, he did not encounter a large group of pirates, but he encountered a group of scattered pirates. He dared to rob him while riding a few small boats, without strength and no eyes. These are the so-called outlaws. Since he doesn't want to live, Xiao Tianlei certainly gave them the beauty of adults.

Without others taking action, Xiao Tianlei can handle it alone. The wind is strong at sea and the arrows are difficult to hit the target. Xiao Tianlei has an ice archer template, which automatically corrects the shooting trajectory. Once aiming, he rarely misses. Before those pirate ships approach, most of the people on the ship were shot to death by Xiao Tianlei. What else can he beat? He fled in panic.

After arriving in the Ninghai Sea, before heading to Haishi City, Xiao Tianlei first found a hidden uninhabited island to stop and all of them changed their clothes.

According to Xiao Tianlei's original plan, everyone dressed as overseas foreigners, wore white robes and white facial scarves, and used some homemade cosmetics and pigments. Xiao Tianlei even made some wigs of different colors. The main ones who came out were Xiao Tianlei and the people he selected were all dressed up in this way. Other ordinary sailors used pigments to blacken their skin, tied some braids on their heads, wore "exotic" sailor clothing, and paired with a scimitar.

After dressing up, everyone on the Conch changed their appearance, and the friends were also shocked.

"Brother Lei, I can't even recognize him!"

"Oh, I can't even recognize myself!"

"Is it the same thing about disguise in the world?"

"Oh, my skin is blackened, and I can't see anyone at night!"

...

"From now on, speak less. Don't speak Chinese or Lingzhou dialect. Do you still remember what I taught?"

"I know, how...do...you...do?"

“yes?no?”

"Spray oil!"

"Goodbye?"

"Smithda?"

"Uh...just that..."

The brothers spoke some of Professor Xiao Tianlei's "exotic" languages, which were actually some foreign dialects in their previous lives. Xiao Tianlei didn't remember much. He didn't need to combine some messy languages ​​in his previous life. He didn't need to be too many. He pretended to be a few common languages. In the market, the common language is still the Daxia language, and some gestures. In addition, the common ones are fists, swords and money.

Not only was a man from a boat, but the Conch also changed overnight. As long as some boards were turned over and some sails were replaced, the appearance of the entire boat and some parts were painted differently. A red cross flag was hung. If you don't know, it seemed that compared with the past, there were two different ships.

After spending so much effort, Xiao Tianlei simply wanted to conceal the origin of tobacco. As for whether it can be kept secret and how long it can be kept secret, Xiao Tianlei is not sure, so he can only take one step at a time.

The next day, early in the morning, he went around in one direction and drove towards the island group where Haishi was located.

Although the sea city is not fixed, it is basically those islands. The waters where these islands are located are designated by major forces and are specifically used for smuggling and trade. Pirates generally do not rob here.

There are hundreds of islands, searching one by one, and after three days, I finally found the sea city on an island, which is still a sea city composed of hundreds of large and small sea ships connected to each other.

The Conch slowly sailed near the sea city and docked at a position on the edge. The thick boat boards were placed on the side of a sea boat, and cargo was placed one by one on the deck, and several exotic blankets were laid. Xiao Tianlei and others sat cross-legged on it, and then they waited patiently for the customer.

The new ship, plus the strange outfits of the people on the Shanghai Nail, immediately attracted the attention of many people in the sea. Although the dress was strange, there were many foreign races overseas. Who could fully understand that what was important was whether these foreign races brought valuable goods.

Soon, some customers came to the Conch Number, looking around at the novel products on the Conch Number. The novel products really attracted attention, but these customers were all merchants, and they would not flock to them because of the novelty of the products. What made these merchants hesitate even more was that they saw the price of these products, which was expensive.

For most commodities in the sea market, merchants have an approximate price in their minds. On this basis, merchants bargain with each other and do not clearly mark the price. The novel items brought by Xiao Tianlei have no price and do not want to bargain with others. So he deliberately wrote the price in the bad Daxia text.

Gold leaves - five taels of silver one tael.

Dragon Blood Wine - Ten taels of gold per bottle.

Baihua Dew - Five taels of gold per bottle.

Even among some contraband products in Haishi, this price is considered high, and merchants have to double the price to buy it. How many people can afford such a high price? However, Xiao Tianlei's positioning is very clear. Originally, these are all luxury goods, but they don't expect to sell the money of ordinary people. The target is the powerful people in Daxia. Those people have most of the resources of this country, and there are not many people who have a shortage of money.

Of course, you don’t have to worry about the price of goods being more expensive, but you’re afraid that they are not worth it. There is no shortage of amazingly expensive goods in the market.

Seeing that more and more people were watching, Xiao Tianlei took a pipe, lit a cube of tobacco, took a sip, and then handed it to a businessman. The businessman took it, hesitated for a moment, and took a sip.

Silk--!

The other merchants stared at the merchant, and saw that the merchant's mouth and nose were spraying smoke. He was shocked and immediately became interested and vomited mist. It was indeed strange! Looking at the merchant again, he squinted his eyes and looked comfortable. Xiao Tianlei took the pipe and asked the rest to try it one by one. Xiao Tianlei believed that as long as he sucked himself, these merchants should be able to realize the value of tobacco.

When these merchants recovered from the pleasure brought by tobacco, they all fell into silence, calm and silent, but they shook each other.

No one spoke, and Xiao Tianlei was not in a hurry. He took out a beautiful green glass and poured out a few glasses of dragon blood wine. He did not give it to the merchants to taste it, but handed it to the merchants' guards. As a warrior, he could better understand the value of dragon blood wine.

In addition to having a good taste, Dragon Blood Wine can also restore physical strength and qi. I heard that those sects also have drugs to restore qi and qi physical strength. However, Xiao Tianlei believes that it is definitely not as fast and so exciting as Dragon Blood Wine.

The warriors drank the Dragon Blood Wine, their faces flushed, and then they pulled their owners to mutter. The merchants were surprised when they heard this. The Dragon Blood Wine looked like a high-end product. Not to mention the wine itself, in the eyes of these merchants, the bottles containing Dragon Blood Wine were worth a lot of money.

The perfume is simpler. Take out a drop and spray it on the merchant and others in front of you. Suddenly, a strange fragrance spreads and will not dissipate for a long time.

After a demonstration, Xiao Tianlei didn’t need to say anything more. He sat down and just waited for these merchants to bid. It was wrong, it was a purchase. Xiao Tianlei had no intention of bargaining.

Sure enough, several merchants ran aside and muttered for a while, and then came back to bargain. It was obvious that they had agreed to suppress the price together. However, as a foreigner, Xiao Tianlei pretended not to understand. No matter what they said, he kept shaking his head, pointing at the price, and not selling at all.

After another hard exchange, Xiao Tianlei finally sold the first basket of tobacco, the first bottle of Dragon Blood Wine and Perfume, and then sold some one after another, not much. After all, it was not sure whether this thing could be sold or profitable for the first time. It was impossible to buy too much.

The first day passed, and the business was still lukewarm the next day. On the third day, a large group of merchants rushed to the Conch and started buying. Many people wanted to pack all the goods for the entire ship. As a result, there was a fierce quarrel, and the merchants scolded each other and almost started fighting.

No wonder these merchants argued that they immediately sent people to Ninghai to sell the goods brought by Xiao Tianlei. The profit was several times higher than that of the sales. The sales were extremely good, especially those big names. Moreover, these things were easy to transport and carry, and they were the best smuggled goods.

If an auction is held at this time, I believe it can be sold at a higher price. However, Xiao Tianlei didn't do that, and he still sold it at the original price and continued to play the role of a rigid Gentile maritime merchant. As for the disputes and distributions of those merchants, he did not intervene.

However, because of the distribution of goods, those merchants competed for each other. A basket of goods would be raised from the conch cabin. A basket of goods would be carried out. A basket of goods was carried out on the deck, and a basket of gold and silver were exchanged. The sea market and sea merchants generally traded in cash. The Daxia market tickets could be exchanged for gold and silver at the guild. However, it was useless when it came to the Gentiles. Xiao Tianlei actually wanted to collect convenient tickets for the business. However, considering the identity of an overseas alien hegemony he played, this could only be done.

So, Xiao Tianlei had to face a happy trouble. For five taels of silver to exchange for one tael of tobacco, it would be a huge profit. If it were sold all, it would be exchanged for five times the weight of silver. It is estimated that the conch number could only barely carry it. If it were all exchanged for copper coins, the conch number would have been crushed long ago. Fortunately, it is not difficult to exchange gold and silver in the sea market, but it cannot be exchanged too much in a short time. In addition to the gold and silver exchanged for dragon blood wine and perfume, the conch number also loaded half a boat.

Although the crew members on the Conch did not show it in front of outsiders, the whole ship was immersed in the joy of making money.

When animals protect food, they become more fierce and alert, and the same is true for humans. So Xiao Tianlei kept receiving reports that someone on the ship near the Conch was suspicious. Xiao Tianlei naturally saw that from a 360-degree three-dimensional perspective, there was nothing around that could be hidden from him. There were indeed bad intentions, but only half of them were. The others were just ordinary warriors and ship workers. They could only say that because of their huge wealth, their brothers were allergic to them.

However, I believe that if the time is right, these people probably don't mind grabbing a handful of conch numbers. The merchants who purchased the goods before might transform into pirates.

In fact, just when the goods on the Conch number were sold out, some people came, saying that they wanted to make friends or some big shots to invite Xiao Tianlei to meet. How great a blessing was, Xiao Tianlei just thought he couldn't understand it, and had to communicate for a long time before these people left impatiently.

Xiao Tianlei knew in his heart that these people represented some forces and big names, probably on the condition of providing protection, and wanted to seek benefits, or even want to know the source of these goods, master the source of wealth, make friends, give benefits, etc., all of them were nonsense. Xiao Tianlei did not want to be related to these forces. Of course, if he rejected the "good intention" of these people, maybe the Conch left Haishi and they were the first to send people to rob.

Nowadays, it can be said that a group of wolves are around. As long as you leave the sea market, or even in the sea market, some disasters may occur.
