Chapter 121
Now Yu Xiaotian understood that Zhou was not a thing. He must have cooperated with Liu Yidao last time. I don't know why he also offended Liu Yidao. No wonder Liu Yidao was so happy when he heard that he killed Zhou cannon. It turned out that this week's cannon had been here for a year and actually offended his nearby colleagues. He killed this fellow, which not only did not annoy other colleagues, but also gave his colleagues a bad breath. It seems that the cannon died unjustly this week.
"Bright, Brother Yu, Liu saw you take these three boats from afar. I don't know where you sang again? Liu really doesn't understand, so come and ask!
Oh! The ship behind is also our colleague. The owner's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Hai, and his nickname is One-eyed Dragon! You can also say hello later. Brother Zhang is also a real person and a friend to make!" Liu Yidao asked Xiaotian while referring to the head of another ship that followed him.
Yu Xiaotian waved to the one-eyed dragon that followed Liu Yidao from afar, hugged his fist, and then turned his head to look at the three ships behind him that were slowly moving forward, and replied with a smile, "Oh! The shopkeeper Zhou of these three ships was a former friend of Yu. It happened that Yu came out and met his boat in the south. It was almost the festival. Brother Liu also knew that it was not easy to walk, so the shopkeeper Zhou asked Yu to escort him for a while. Yu couldn't refuse and could only help. I hope you can raise your hands and let them go. Right!"
Liu Yidao squinted and looked at the three boats behind Yu Xiaotian, with a sneer at the corners of his mouth, and shook his head and said, "Brother Yu, you are not real! Liu also did this. How can he not see the identity of these three ships?
To be honest, it's a little bad for you to do this. Isn't it a little too much if you can't eat it yourself and won't let us eat it?
Yu Xiaotian is really a little ashamed. He is a bright-sighted person and broke his little bit of tricks at once, which made him a little unable to hang up, but he had to hold on.
"Brother Liu misunderstood! In the three boats behind, a boat was indeed a friend. Because of his face, it was not convenient for Yu to do it, so he could help and escort them for a journey. To be honest, Yu did take some money from them, which was regarded as helping them!
After all, everyone has friends, and we can't deny our relatives in this industry. Therefore, I hope Brother Liu and Zhang can forgive us and sell their face to our brothers. We will definitely make up for it another day!" Yu Xiaotian continued with a dry smile.
The expression on Liu Yidao's face changed several times. He looked at Yu Xiaotian's men on the ship and saw that there were more men on Yu Xiaotian's boat. Compared with the first time he saw him, his men seemed to be more refined, so he looked at the three boats and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a dry smile: "Since it's Brother Yu Well said, then Liu, in view of your anger for us, let's forget it today! But this kind of thing can only happen once, otherwise, if everyone will do this in the future, we will all have to drink the northwest wind!
By the way, Liu is now on Dongqi Island. During this festival, if you are free, Brother Yu might as well walk around his brother's place, and let's walk around more!"
Yu Xiaotian relaxed and nodded quickly and said, "Thank you very much! Yu must take time to visit Brother Liu! It's just that I'm afraid I don't have time before the festival. After this trip back, I will go to Nanri Island to visit Zhang Da's dock!"
Liu Yidao nodded and said, "So you haven't gone to Nanri Island to visit the dock yet! In this way, your brother is really bold! What courage! In this case, Liu will not delay you. Let's say goodbye and wait for your brother's visit at any time! Say goodbye! Let's set sail, let's go!"
While talking, Liu Yidao ordered to sail, and the ship of the one-eyed dragon that followed him immediately raised the sail. The two ships began to turn the rudder and continue south to find their prey.
And when the one-eyed dragon staggered with Yu Xiaotian's boat, he stared at one eye and carefully looked up and down at Yu Xiaotian and his men. Then he held his fist and left with Liu Yidao's boat without saying a word.
The owner of the three ships stood on the boat and watched the two ships of Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon Yang Fan. They did not attack them. They all seemed to have cramps and almost collapsed on the deck. At this time, they felt that their bodies were cold, and their sweat almost soaked their close-fitting clothes.
"Muzu bless, it's finally over!" Zhou Xian's lips trembling a little and muttered in a low voice.
Although Liu Yidao sold Yu Xiaotian's face and gave them away these boats, the section of the Strait is still not peaceful. Yu Xiaotian protected Zhou Xian's three boats all the way and took a day and a night to drive across Dalian Island and come to the north side of Dalian Island.
Along the way, they met another pirate ship. This time, there was only one pirate ship. When they saw Yu Xiaotian's ship, the pirate ship could only choose to give way and did not launch any attack on their small fleet.
Zhou Xian and his colleagues surnamed Yang and Yu also completely saw Yu Xiaotian's sincerity, and they didn't know whether to thank him or hate him. For them, meeting Yu Xiaotian was both their misfortune and their great luck.
This time they walked in this area, because they did not walk with other merchant ships. The resistance of their three ships is actually very average. Generally, they can resist the attack of a pirate ship at most, which is also good.
If Yu Xiaotian hadn't promised to escort them through the strait, just by their own strength, as long as they met the two boats of Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon, they would not have been able to please.
If it is not done well, they will all fall into the hands of Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon, and the rest of the pirates, even if they are less powerful, will jump on them and bite them.
But fortunately, Yu Xiaotian blocked Liu Yidao, which allowed them to pass through the Haitan Strait safely. Otherwise, they would probably fall here, so even they themselves did not know whether to thank the sea wolf or hate them. In short, the three people were very emotional about the sea wolves. Complicated.
After arriving at the northern sea of Dalian Island, it was already the next morning. Yu Xiaotian ordered to stop the ship and punched Zhou Xian and the three shipowners surnamed Yang and Yu at the side of the ship: "Gentlemen! Yu is lucky not to disgrace his life. What he promised you has been done, and the way to go is up to you!
I don't expect you to thank me. After all, I forced you to spend a lot of money! If you meet me in this area again, we will be old acquaintances, and I promise that I will not be strong against you again! All right, have a good journey! Especially when you go to Funing, you should also be more careful. There are many people in our industry! It's better for you to pull a few more boats together before Huangqi Bay, and it will be safer to go like this!
All right, that's it. Good bye!"
After saying this, Yu Xiaotian stopped talking nonsense and ordered to turn the rudder and turn around in the direction of Dalian Island. Zhou Xian and others thanked him repeatedly and watched Yu Xiaotian lead the ship to leave with a complicated mood. It was not until the two sides opened a long distance that they discussed and decided to go to the mouth of the Fujian River. Stay moored, wait for a fleet going north, and then continue to return north after joining the fleet.
Yu Xiaotian quickly arrived on Dalian Island with a boat. He met Mr. Li on Dalian Island in person, thanked the Li family for their recent care, and by the way, he bought something for the island.
After seeing Yu Xiaotian, steward Li smiled and said, "Originally, our shopkeeper asked about the recent things, and we also heard about some things about you some time ago. Our shopkeeper really didn't see the wrong person. Yu's shopkeeper was so powerful that he ate a group surnamed Zhou so quickly!
Now the shopkeeper in this area is a little famous, and I guess ordinary people don't dare to provoke you anymore. After this incident, you have also gained a firm foothold in this area. Congratulations!
As for the word thank you, don't mention it. Recently, you have taken care of our Li family's business. Our shopkeeper specially prepared a small holiday gift for Yu. If we don't know where your island is, we will send it to you directly these days! Come on, bring things up!"
While talking, the two clerks of the Li family quickly carried a long box in front of Yu Xiaotian, and Manager Li ordered them to open the lid of the box.
Yu Xiaotian looked down, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately bent down and took out something from the box and played with it in his hand.
It turned out that in this long strip of box were actually five dark musket guns. For Xiaotian, this is a well-needed good guy at present. No wonder Yu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly lit up.
After careful observation, Yu Xiaotian saw that these five new rifles should be the birds used in the Ming army. The diameter of the tubes is uniform, about 10 to 11 mm.
And it can be seen that the rod is made of fine iron, which is not like the fire rods he uses now. It is made by cutting corners and rough. Not to mention the heavy in his hand, carefully observing the rod pipe is very smooth and polished inside and there are almost no flaws. It can be seen that this is from a smart craftsman, and it is Carefully crafted.
The front end of the tube is also equipped with a sight, and behind it is equipped with a door. It is easy to aim through the door and sight. Even the medicine pool loaded with gunpowder has a lid. After loading, you can temporarily close the lid to prevent the medicine in the medicine pool from being blown away by the wind.
Although Yu Xiaotian, a person from later generations, has always despised this kind of fire rope gun with extremely simple structure, he can't help but be a little excited when he sees such five fine-made birds today.
It was not until he looked at this bird that he remembered to thank stewer Li.
Li Guanshi smiled and said, "This is also a little intention of our shopkeeper. Two months ago, he asked someone to walk in Guangdong and asked someone to build it for you. It has just arrived, and I hope the shopkeeper will accept it!"
Yu Xiaotian put down the bird in his hand and shook his head, "No! This gift is really too expensive. If there is no merit, Yu doesn't dare to accept it!
It can be seen that this bird is made by a smart craftsman, which must be valuable. Five birds are estimated to be worth at least 200 taels of silver.
During this period, Yu was only busy building the village and didn't hand over any goods to you at all. On the contrary, he bothered you to help buy all kinds of materials, which has caused you trouble. How can you be ashamed to take these things again?
steward Li, please tell Manager Li that this generous gift can't be received by Yu, and it's not too late to wait until Yu handed in more goods to you later!"
(I'm really sorry, brothers! I went out early this morning and didn't come back until now! The update is too late, which has kept everyone waiting for a long time! Sorry, sorry! Update another chapter around 10 o'clock!)
