Chapter 100 Delivery
"Run away, they ran away!" After repelling the attack of the robbers, the people on the ship cheered.
"What are you shouting? Hurry up, let's go!" Shi Xin said, saying so, but there was also an expression of joy on his face.
Just now, in order to avoid the anchor of the flying ship, I changed the course and deviated from the channel. Shixin immediately asked the helmsman and sailor to correct the course, and it was the top priority to deliver the goods quickly.
"Shixin, I feel a little strange." Shi Yi said.
"Huh?" Shixin didn't think so much. What's so strange?
"Why don't these robbers rob other people's boats, but rob ours? Do they know that there are iron ingots worth 5,000 taels in our ship? Shi Yi analyzed.
"What do you mean?" Shi Xin is a little clear.
"Is it that Zhu Yuanzhang's man who wanted to rob our ship? We shipped it to him, and he didn't want to take out the money, so he simply found someone to rob us, so that it would be seamless? Lu Zhen said carelessly. "
Everyone heard Lv Zhen's words, and the smile on their faces immediately disappeared, and they all became solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang has thousands of people. If he really intends to embezzled this batch of goods, I'm afraid none of them can leave alive.
Shi Xin thought for a thought and dispelled everyone's concerns: "This should be unlikely. Mr. Zhu is more righteous. He will not be crooked for these 5,000 taels of silver. Besides, I think there are thousands of people in his camp. These 6,000 catties of iron ingots are just enough for him to build weapons. If he wants to build another Armor or something will still buy iron from us. This is not a one-shot deal. He will not block our road. In the future, we will be used.
After listening to Shi Xin's explanation, everyone was a little relieved.
"What's more, Tang He and Mr. Zhu have been good brothers since they were young. Although they didn't bring him here this time, except for us, others don't know that he is not on the ship. Looking at the momentum of the attack just now, if they come up, we will definitely have no way out. Mr. Zhu should not kill Tang He, right? " After the analysis, Shi Xin concluded: "So, this must be an ordinary encounter. Haven't we also encountered robbers before?"
After saying this, everyone nodded one after another, "Yes, it makes sense."
"However, we can't take it lightly." Shi Yi added: "Before we deliver the goods, we should send someone to the shore to inquire about it. There is indeed no ambush, and then we will go to the shore to deliver the goods, so as not to be taken over by others."
"Well, that's right." Lu Zhen also nodded.
"Let's check the weapons and use up the arrows in the crossbow warehouse. Hurry up and count the number of your grenades. Get ready. We will arrive in half a day." Shi Xin said.
The rain of arrows just now basically consumed all the arrows in the crossbow. In the fierce attack just now, everyone didn't think so much. Now when they open the arrow pot, most of them have little left.
The continuous crossbow only uses ordinary bamboo arrows, so it is more convenient to make. When he came, Shixin not only loaded a boat of iron ingots, but also two bundles of bamboo arrows. Everyone put bamboo arrows into the arrow pot one after another to cope with the sudden ** situation.
As for grenades, they were not considered at the beginning. I always felt that four grenades were enough for each person. Now after a battle, most of the grenades have been consumed. Most of them are wasted, but a small number of them hit the target, which is really powerful.
How does the eldest brother know so much? With a simple combination of things, can you make such a convenient weapon? However, this grenade has to be folded with fire. It would be better if there was a simpler way to fire. The range of the combo crossbow is a little close. The eldest brother uses it as a defensive weapon. If there is a weapon with a longer range, and the penetration is stronger, it will be more handy.
The boat was getting closer and closer to the Wuhe ferry, and Shixin sent Pan Yuanshao and Pan Yuanming ashore in advance to find out the situation.
The two brothers, Pan Yuanshao and Pan Yuanming, have been living on the water since childhood. They are agile and full of water. If they find anything abnormal on the shore, they will immediately warn and return as soon as possible. Once you are found, you can also dive away.
Pan Yuanshao and Pan Yuanming climbed up along the rocks on the shore and carefully approached the Wuhe Ferry.
From afar, there is nothing special about the ferry. There are only one or two boats parked there. It is an ordinary fishing boat nearby. About three miles away from the ferry, there were more than a dozen soldiers wrapped in red headscarves wandering sparsely without even taking a weapon.
Behind them are more than a dozen carriages. There is nothing on the carriage. It should be waiting for the transportation of iron ingots.
The one led by, wearing armor and hanging a waist knife, kept standing up and sitting down. He was a little uneasy. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time.
In the distance, it is an open field, which is full of fields and can't hide anyone.
There is no ambush.
Go ahead.
Yuan Shao stood up, picked up the conch with him, and blew it twice.
"Wow, wow." The sound was mixed in the wind, and there was nothing unusual.
"No problem. Let's deliver the goods. We have delivered the goods. Go back quickly." Shi Xin said.
The sail was pulled up again, and the ship accelerated its speed and headed for the Wuhe Ferry.
"General Xu, there is a ship coming in front of you." A sentry said to the strong man in armor.
"Real is it? Can it be the boat we are waiting for? He stood up with a flash of light in his eyes. It was Xu Da, the number one general of Zhu Yuanzhang.
As the boat approached, the figure on the bow became more and more familiar. It was Zhang Shixin who I saw last time.
"Quick, go to the shore to meet you. The carriages are also coming. Xu Da was a little excited. After waiting for two days, he finally waited for what he had been looking forward to for a long time. This Miao tycoon in Hengjian Mountain should suffer.
"S. Zhang, I'm looking forward to you. My eldest brother misses you every day." Xu Da looked at the ship that had docked and said to Zhang Shixin, who was in the bow.
"Real is it? Are you looking forward to me, or are you looking forward to what I have shipped?
"This..." Xu Da laughed dryly. Can I have a look at something?"
"Look, they're all on the boat." Shi Xin made way for Xu Da.
Xu Da got on the ship and walked into the cabin, and his eyes suddenly came out: there were dozens of iron ingots neatly arranged in the cabin, each weighing 100 catties. It seemed that 6,000 catties of iron was more than enough.
"Come on, move to the car." Xu Da shouted.
"Wait a minute," Shi Xin said, "You have seen this iron, but where are the 5,000 taels of silver I want?"
"This..." Xu Da said, "Wait for Mr. Zhang to go to our camp to get it."
"No, if you don't give silver, I won't unload the iron. I will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand. This is the rule." Shixin feels something is wrong.
"Okay." Xu Da's sincere eyes looked at Shi Xin, "Then don't blame me for being rude."
"Don't move!" In the fishing boats on both sides, dozens of soldiers with strong bows suddenly appeared, and sharp arrows pointed at them.
"Xu Da, do you dare to swind me?" Unprepared, no one had time to pick up the weapon. He had missed the opportunity and then resisted, which was ten thousand arrows pierced the heart.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, this 5,000 taels of silver will not be less. It's just that there are not so many in the camp now, so I have to temporarily agment you to stay in the camp for a few days. When we capture Hengjian Mountain, Miao Tycoon has a lot of silver there, and I'll pay you back at that time. Xu Da said.
"Well, you let us go back first, and then we'll pick it up." Shi Xin turned his eyes and got out first.
"Since you already know our plan, in order to avoid being shocked, we have to wrong you. After that, Xu apologized to you in person." Xu Da's words are very euphemistic.
"Apologizing, did Zhu Yuanzhang let you do this?" Shi Xin finally got angry.
Hearing Zhang Shixin call the eldest brother's name, Xu Da was a little dissatisfied: "This has nothing to do with the eldest brother. He just asked me to keep you for a few more days and wait for you to collect enough money. Since you don't want to go to the camp, I have to make such a plan. All the responsibilities are borne by Xu Da alone, which has nothing to do with the eldest brother.
"Well, let's go, but I can eat very well." Shi Xin said.
"Please go to the camp!" Xu Da ordered.
A lot of iron, load the car quickly, and it is a big deal to build a good weapon.
"Brother, we..." Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanshao, who were lurking in the distance, found something wrong. They all blamed themselves for not looking carefully and fell into the mouth of the tiger.
"You go back and report to the eldest brother, and I will follow them." Pan Yuanming said.
"Brother, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, go back quickly. I'll wait for you here after the fifth day."
(Updated to today, a full 100 chapters. Thank you readers for your support and love for this book. I will continue to work hard, speed up the coding, and write wonderfully so that everyone can enjoy it. The battle scene is about to begin, but the scale of the battle at the beginning will not be very large. The later it is, the larger the scale will be.
About the name of the protagonist, because the name before and after the time-travel is different, it is a little messy. The protagonist is called Zhang Yang when he is called, and Zhang Shicheng when others call him. This is a little troublesome. If it is a small person, the name before and after the time-travel is the same, which is the most convenient, but the big man... I guess you are here. When you name your children, they won't be called Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and so on, right? Sweat)
