Chapter 16 (1/2)
On the first day of arriving in Jinshan City by boat, Wei Ran met Zheng Hong, the second son of the Zheng family.
The two met for the first time in the merchant ship captain's room of the Zheng family.
Although Zheng Hong is the second son of the merchant Zheng family, he doesn't look like an old captain.
He is in his thirties and has a dark complexion, which is the result of the sun.
In his middle age, he didn't show any signs of getting fat. Instead, he was comparable to a person who practiced martial arts all year round, which showed that he lived a very self-discipline life.
The eyes are as sharp as examination, but they are very deep and thick, as if they can see through any disguise.
At the first sight of Wei Ran, he praised: ”this is really a rare warrior in the world!”
Wei Ran arched his hand and said, ”I've seen childe Zheng!”
”This is not the Zheng family. I prefer others to call me captain.”
Zheng Hong invited Wei Ran to sit down at the table. There was a set of tea set on the table. Zheng Hong seemed to be a tea expert. He was very skilled in a series of techniques. He brewed a pot of Tieguanyin, and then poured a cup for Wei Ran and himself.
”This is Tieguanyin specially planted in the tea mountain in my hometown. It is rare to see all kinds of green tea and black tea overseas. Even if I have been at sea for more than ten years, I still only use the tea from my home. ”
Wei Ran sticks his mouth at will and only moistens his throat. ”Wei is a rough man. He doesn't understand these elegant things. As long as they are non-toxic and beneficial to his body, he can use whatever he has. Captain Zheng, steward Zheng must have told you about me in advance. Let's get straight to the point. ”
Zheng Hong smiled. He thought Wei Ran's character was very interesting. He is the second son of the Zheng family. Although he has been famous all over the world in recent years, at least he is well known.
Regardless of his bad reputation or good reputation, his experience can finally be called a legend. He is also the absolute backbone of the Zheng family's overseas trade. Even his eldest brother, as the heir of the family, should be afraid.
When ordinary people see themselves, they are either too nervous to speak, or they are submissive and have no ability to think. Even if some brave heroes meet themselves, their momentum will inevitably be less than half a point.
However, this strong man named Wei Ran, after meeting, neither opened his mouth to cling to him nor pretended to be haoxiong. Instead, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He could be treated equally. He couldn't help but look up to him and couldn't be treated as an ordinary martial artist.
”Good! Since brother Wei said so, we will put forward our respective needs. I heard your Kung Fu is very good? ”
Wei Ran grinned, ”among mortals, Wei dare to be the first!”
The tone of ”among mortals” was very subtle. Wei Ran seemed to know some information beyond the realm of mortals.
Zheng Hong narrowed his eyes, ”what if it exceeds the realm of mortals?”
”The captain really knows something.”
Zheng Hong smiled and drank tea. ”It seems that brother Wei wants such power.”
”Yes, this is Wei's wish!”
”What Zheng wants to do, he really needs to have the strength to surpass ordinary people. Although I know something about the Wei brothers from Mr. Songtao, Zheng still wants to see for real. ”
Wei Ran said with a confident smile, ”the captain might as well row down the road.”
He learned this from the tone in martial arts novels. He always felt very strange when he said it. He wanted to laugh.
