Chapter 556 Next Stop: Jiayuguan

The person on the big ship was Yang Kaitai.

He had a square face and a square mouth. He was wearing a neat light blue satin robe and a green cloth shirt on the outside. It looked like he had worn it for a long time.

No one would have thought that he was the young master of the [Yuanji] bank, which had business all over the world and was rich enough to rival a country.

He was also the only lay disciple of Master Tieshan, the abbot of the Shaolin sect. It was said that he had mastered the Shaolin magic fist to the point of 90%. There were only a handful of people in the martial arts world who could beat him.

In terms of wealth and background, Yang Kaitai was actually the first among the six gentlemen of the martial arts world.

Lian Chengbi smiled when he looked at Yang Kaitai.

With the Shaolin Temple as a backer, it was no wonder that the [Yuanji] bank could be opened all over the world.

And with the [Yuanji] bank’s bases in various places, the Shaolin disciples would never lack money anywhere.

It was really a win-win situation!

As the link between the two sides, Yang Kaitai is indeed a true gentleman with an upright character, but the only shortcoming is that he cannot be asked to pay.

His nickname is Iron Gentleman, but behind his back, others call him Iron Rooster.

So...

Lian Chengbi looked at the big ship where Yang Kaitai was and the guests on the ship, and knew that this time he was definitely not treating.

So he didn't plan to go up, but just waved at Yang Kaitai, "Hello, Brother Yang!"

But Lian Chengbi didn't go up, but it didn't mean that Yang Kaitai wouldn't come down.

Yang Kaitai jumped and flew to the boat. With a light touch of his feet, the boat hardly shook.

"Brother Lian, didn't you just get married? Why are you here?" Yang Kaitai asked.

"Just got married, so I brought my wife back home." Lian Chengbi smiled.

Seeing Shen Bijun's happy smile beside Lian Chengbi, Yang Kaitai was not a stupid person, and it was easy to think of the reason.

"The couple's love is enviable!" Yang Kaitai smiled and bowed, then invited, "I just heard Brother Lian talk about the fragrance of wine. There are also Shaochun from Shuzhong and Liulin wine from Guanzhong on the boat. Brother Lian, you can get on board if you like."

Lian Chengbi waved his hand, "You are not the host of the banquet, so I won't go up."

Yang Kaitai asked curiously, "How do you know it's not me?"

Lian Chengbi smiled, "Isn't this obvious?"

Yang Kaitai blinked and changed the subject, "The host of the banquet is not a businessman, but a senior in the martial arts world. If he heard your name, he would definitely invite you on board."

"Who is it?"

"It's Master Liu Sanye, the Hibiscus Swordsman."

Lian Chengbi was stunned when he heard this, "Why is Master Liu Sanye in Daming Lake?"

Master Liu Sanye, the Hibiscus Swordsman, is the background board in the original work. His eldest son, the Jade-faced Swordsman Liu Yongnan, is under the command of Tianzong and participated in the action of helping the young master kidnap Shen Bijun, but in the end he was tempted by her beauty and gave his life for Shen Bijun.

But if Lian Chengbi remembered correctly, Master Liu San was a famous family in Hebei, and the Liu family was mostly active in northern Hebei and eastern Shanxi, so Shen Bijun had never met Liu Yongnan.

"A few days ago, a batch of Liu's goods had an accident in Shandong, and Master Liu San personally took action and attacked Baifeng Village with a sword, and then went south to Daming Lake to cruise and entertain guests."

Yang Kaitai explained, "The Liu family has business dealings with Liyuan Money House, so I came here too."

Just then, a handsome young man appeared, "Hero Yang, my father said that if the person coming is a friend, he will invite him to come aboard and drink together."

The young man saw Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun at a glance, and couldn't help showing an admiring look.

Yang Kaitai introduced, "This is Master Liu San's eldest son, the Jade-faced Swordsman Liu Yongnan."

Lian Chengbi nodded, another original character, there are only a few people in the original, how come he always bumps into them?

At this moment, another person poked his head out from beside Liu Yongnan. It was Shen Wenyu.

"Brother Lian, cousin?" Shen Wenyu smiled in surprise when he saw the two of them. "What a coincidence, you are here to cruise the lake today?"

Shen Bijun looked up and asked, "Why is my cousin also on the boat?"

Shen Wenyu said, "I once traveled to Hebei Wulin and met Mr. Liu San a few times."

Since Shen Wenyu was here, he had to give her face. Moreover, Lian Chengbi was the owner of Wugui Villa, and he always had to attend social events.

So Lian Chengbi paid the boatman, and then he and Shen Bijun jumped onto the big boat hand in hand.

There were many people on the big boat, with at least 20 to 30 people on the deck and in the cabin.

But Lian Chengbi didn't know many people, and Shen Bijun only remembered a few people.

The two went to say hello to Mr. Liu San, and then came to the side with Yang Kaitai and Shen Wenyu.

"Master Liu San suffered a loss once, and he knows that he needs to build good relations with the Shandong martial arts world." Shen Wenyu teased in a low voice.

"The name of Furong Swordsman still has some face in the martial arts world." Lian Chengbi laughed.

Yang Kaitai shook his head, "It's just that Master Liu San's banquet was early. If it was a few days later, I would not be in Shandong."

Lian Chengbi laughed, "You are the young master of [Yuanji] Bank, so you naturally have to travel all over the world. You can't stay idle."

"This time I'm not going to an ordinary place." Yang Kaitai sighed.

"With Brother Yang's martial arts, there is no place in the world that he can't go. How could it make you so embarrassed?" Shen Wenyu asked curiously.

"It's not a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, it's just a little far away." Yang Kaitai said, "Tongyuan Bank in the northwest has encountered some troubles, I have to go out of the pass to take a look."

Lian Chengbi asked, "Your [Yuanji] Bank's business is really extensive, it has already reached the outside of the pass?"

Yang Kaitai nodded, "There are many caravans from the Western Regions. Many merchants from the Central Plains went to the outside of the Great Wall to block people in advance. They needed silver and money to circulate, so the money houses were opened there."

Yang Kaitai sighed, "Jiayu Pass, Yumen Pass, the farthest branch opened to Dunhuang, and I heard that they are going to Hami. It's too far."

Shen Wenyu looked helpless and jealous and didn't want to speak.

The Shen family is also a big family in Shandong. The family has never lacked money, but compared with the [Yuanji] money house that opened its money house business in Jiayu Pass, it is really a small witch compared to a big witch.

For the Central Plains, there are several places outside the Great Wall in the strict sense.

Shanhai Pass in the east, Yanmen Pass in the north, and Jiayu Pass in the west.

The farthest one is undoubtedly Jiayu Pass.

The desert wind and sand, the Gobi snow, the ancient people's poems bring modern people imagination and are fascinating.

Therefore, countless heroes traveled to the northwest to broaden their horizons and see the magnificent scenery.

When she heard about Jiayuguan, Shen Bijun couldn't help but think of her parents.

Although her parents' appearance had gradually blurred in her mind, she could still feel her father's majesty with a loving smile and her mother's warm embrace in her dreams at midnight.

A trace of loss appeared in Shen Bijun's eyes.

Lian Chengbi suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to Jiayuguan to have a look?"

"Yes." Shen Bijun replied subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted.

"No, I..."

"It's okay, I just want to see the place where my parents died in the battle." Lian Chengbi smiled, "But we have to go back to Jiangnan first."

Shen Bijun looked at Lian Chengbi, unable to hide the love in her heart, and nodded heavily.
