Chapter Seventy-Six: Confirmation
Of course, the big fish in Lao Dingtou's mouth will not be the fish in the Liao River, he just got on the boat on the order of Li Shiyi to pick people, except for the fat man with colored eyes, among the rest of the people who fell into the water and were captured, this Mongolian is a bit like a cronie of the colored people. So he stepped forward and woke the people up, first in Turkic and then in Mongolian. Tuo Buhua was stunned for a while, suddenly jumped up and hugged him, excited to tears, thank God, finally a normal speaker appeared!
got on the boat with Jiang Ning, and Li Shiyi saw at a glance the Mongolian man that Lao Ding Tou said, not very tall, with a mustache, and his legs were fighting on the battlefield, I don't know if it was because he was soaking wet and chilling, just such a guy who was not good-looking, what kind of big fish would it be? He muttered a little in his heart, but the other party's first sentence made him pay attention to it.
"Chief, he said that he was not in the same group as the Semu man, he came from the northwest, what kind of official under the Great Khan, what Great Khan? Haidu, he is willing to pay to redeem himself, and the price is as we like. Lao Dingtou listened and translated, he was actually a second knife, but he still understood the general meaning of bumps.
Northwest, Haidu, Li Shiyi didn't listen to the latter words, these two keywords made him immediately understand, things are even more magical than he imagined, this person is indeed a big fish, but whether he is a fat fish or a shark depends on whether he is telling the truth or not.
"Brother Ning, I want to delay you for a while, help find a quiet cabin, and I want to talk to him." According to Li Shiyi's request, Jiang Ning quickly led them to a large room at the stern of the boat, which was very simple and only had a bed and a table.
"You said you came from the northwest, do you have any evidence?" Time was pressing, Li Shiyi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly, he didn't need someone to translate to understand, he just said it by himself, he was a little wasteful, and after hearing the words, he groped around his body for a while, and took out a belt from his waist, one end was tied to the belt, and the other end was a small gold button.
"He said it was his seal and could be used as proof." It's a pity that not only Li Shiyi can't understand the distorted Mongolian characters, but even Lao Dingtou can't, he can only listen and speak, but he can't write.
"What is it about your trip that there are people in most of you who have brought you with you? Where did you come from, how did you associate with the man of the eye, and how he intended to help you? ”
Li Shiyi's questions are all about verifying this person's identity, only by ensuring this point can we talk about other things, this is Liaodong, it stands to reason that the northwest will not be in this direction, they have gone around in such a big circle, is it just to help people fight horse thieves?
Tuo Buhua knows whether he can save his life or not is all on this Han people, of course he has nothing to hide about these problems, but he has some drums in his heart, these people are Han soldiers, will they hand themselves over to Kublai Khan? He is a close minister of Haidu, and there is more than that secret on his body, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to die when the time comes.
"You can rest assured that we won't kill until we prove that you're not lying, but we'll be wronged for a while. They're going to send you somewhere, stay there, and once we find out, they'll let you out, and then we'll talk about the ransom, and neither you nor your people will die until then, understand? ”
For his defense, Li Shiyi felt that there was no problem, they would turn to Mobei in order to bypass the blockade of the Yuan people, and they came here in a big circle, and according to the agreement, they had a relationship with the Diethorn in Jinzhou City, and as for attacking the horse thief, it was the latter's temporary intention, so not only the horse thief did not expect it, but even Li Shiyi, who had been hanging the fat man with colored eyes, was also confused, which caused the fierce battle on the edge of the Liao River.
"He wants to ask us for something." Li Shiyi asked what he wanted, and he was going to leave, he still had a long way to go, and he didn't want to waste time here, and before he stepped out of the door, Lao Dingtou's voice rang out, he turned around and didn't speak, just looked at the Mongolian.
"In any case, please don't hand them over to the Yuanren." Lao Ding Tou translated it word by word, and Li Shiyi walked out without any indication after hearing it. He can't be the master of this matter, so he can't make any promises, only to guarantee that these people will be alive before he returns to Dadu.
Behind the female wall on the second floor, the pheasant slave looked around with some novelty, she had not been on a boat, but this kind of sea ship had a completely different charm, many sergeants on the ship recognized her, and they came up to say hello at first sight, and felt like returning to the barracks.
"Who sent that arrow, it's not easy to go so far." The pheasant slave climbed on the female wall, pointed to a bed crossbow on the deck below, and said that it was that shot that knocked out the enemy's stubborn determination to resist, and impressed everyone.
"Who else can there be, our shipowner, don't look at this distance, but the river is not as good as the sea, there are not so many wind and waves, and the arrows shot out are naturally accurate. Don't you see, that day we fought with a gang of thieves, the wind was high and the waves were fierce, the boats were up and down the ground, and people were not able to stand on their feet, let alone fight, if it wasn't for the arrows of the master to shoot down their masts, it is difficult to say what the final victory will be. ”
Of course, the pheasant slave knew who he was talking about, and he was speechless at the moment, and let the sergeant blow in his ear, all kinds of dangers were much more than what he said, and as soon as he turned around inadvertently, a beam of caring eyes met his gaze, Jiang Ning stepped forward with a smile and kicked the sergeant who was blowing away.
"Fuck off, don't listen to his nonsense, it's all a shadowless thing." Driving people far away, Jiang Ning climbed the wooden stack with both hands, and the pheasant slave leaned against the female wall and looked at him, her eyes were calm, she could see that these sergeants really supported him, and in the army, there was nothing that could make you get these except for actual achievements, Jiang Ning's contribution can be imagined.
"Well, it's not hurt." Jiang Ning didn't turn his head to look at her when he said this, his side was already a little similar to his father, the thick short beard under his chin made him a little more arrogant, the resolute lines were faintly formed, and the tanned skin was scarred, all of which showed a man's maturity.
The pheasant slave didn't care if he looked at it or not, she shook her head, no matter what, she was very grateful to Jiang Ning for appearing in time, so that the culprit who killed her sister could not escape. But other than that, she didn't know what to say, Jiang Ning would be different almost every time she saw it, and herself, she felt that it had never changed, it felt too complicated, so that she couldn't judge whether it was good or bad.
"You go to live in my cabin in a while, you are the only one, there will be some bumps in the sea, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on, there is Lang Zhong on the boat, let him prescribe some pills for you, eat it will be better in your stomach, even if you don't want to eat some food, otherwise you will not be able to stand it." It's only a few days away, and the patience has arrived, thinking about the beginning" Jiang Ning was still talking about something, but he was suddenly interrupted by the pheasant slave.
"Brother Ning."
"Huh?" He turned his head to look at the pheasant slave and showed a kind smile, like the sun in September, shining hot on his body.
"Thank you." The pheasant slave also gave him a smile, and Jiang Ning clearly saw something else in her big eyes, which had never been seen before, which made him feel a little more distressed.
"Li Shiyi has gone down, and we have to leave too." Jiang Ning turned his head and stood up straight facing the bow of the boat.
"Brethren!" He yelled, causing all the sergeants to look upward.
"Pull the anchor, raise the sails, I'll wait to go home!"
The sergeants roared to the promise, and a large group of people shouted whistles to pull out the heavy iron anchor, and at the same time the huge sails were raised, and under the action of the wind, the big ship slowly began to turn, and Li Shiyi stood on the bank of the river, holding the golden button of the Mongol in his hand, and watched them go away intently, thoughtful.
