This sound not only made Shang Yu hear the thunder, but also made the soldiers who wielded their swords move slowly, and several soldiers looked up a little and saw the lantern embroidered with the golden word "Li" on the dock, and their faces couldn't help but change.
"It turns out that Master Li is on the boat, and the little ones are searching for the murderer, and they have inadvertently disturbed you, I hope to forgive you!" One of the soldiers slashed down as he spoke, and the beggar's head, who was still howling, was cut off and could no longer be heard.
"Get out! Could it be that there can be a murderer on my dock? The man's slightly angry voice sounded again from the cabin.
"Let's go right away, Master Li!" Several soldiers immediately picked up the beggar's head from the ground, lifted the body up, and called out to the other beggars who were surrounded and walked into the distance.
Seeing all this in Shang Yu's eyes, he only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and he said in his heart: "This is the so-called local officers and soldiers, who regard human life as grass!" Just to arrest me, but even these innocent beggars refuse to let go, am I too greedy for life and afraid of death, if I just make a move, that beggar will not die! The beggars in the city will not be implicated by me! ”
At that moment, he began to blame himself extremely in his heart, but there was another voice in his heart telling him: "Shang Yu, you haven't seen Xiao Wan yet, you still have a mother who needs you in this world, and the master has a business alliance to be handed over to you to be in charge, which involves the future of the people of the Central Plains, you can't go out and kill yourself." ”
But that feeling of powerlessness always surrounded him, making him feel small and powerless now, and at this moment he felt how he wished he had the power and ability to change all this.
was blaming himself in Shang Yu's heart, but he heard a strange gurgling sound around him, Shang Yudi's attention immediately dispersed, and he turned his face to look, but Yu Shiyi's upper and lower teeth were constantly colliding with each other, and his legs were trembling.
"I'm scared to death, these officers and soldiers actually killed people in the street, and cut off the man's head with one knife!" As he spoke, Yu Shiyi still put his hand on his neck, and his eyes were full of extreme fear.
"Eleven brothers! All the people in my village were slaughtered, and then they were burned to the ground! It's even more terrifying than what we see, so let's put the food box in the cabin and we'll leave! After Shang Yu heard Yu Shiyi's words, he said that when he remembered the slaughter of Lijia Village, he hated the current situation even more.
After listening to Shang Yudi's words, Yu Shiyi had a trace of horror in his eyes, he didn't expect Shang Yu, a new entrant, to have such a tragic past, although the killing of the beggar in front of him seemed to be miserable, but it was nothing compared to this new family, and he nodded with his teeth trembling at the moment.
At this time, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of the cabin, this person was extremely tall and strong, and his face was yellowed by the light of the lantern.
"Sir! I'll bring you dinner. When Yu 11 saw the man, he immediately saluted, with a very respectful look on his face, and he did his best to contain the fear in his heart.
"Good! Send it in, I'll use it later! It takes two people to deliver food? Once you've put your food away, leave one person waiting here. The middle-aged man seemed to be in a trance, but the meaning of his words was obvious, leaving someone to wait for him to clean up the table after eating, and as he spoke, he turned and entered the cabin.
"Yes, sir! Song 13, you stay here and wait for the master to eat! I'll go back to the house first, do you think it's okay? Yu Shiyi hesitated, but still said to Shang Yu, he was afraid that he would be scolded by the third uncle when he went back, but thinking of the cold when Master Li waited outside the cabin during the meal, he couldn't help but want Shang Yu to replace him.
After hearing this, Shang Yu immediately hurriedly agreed, and said in his heart: "As long as this old man surnamed Li eats and throws the food box and quietly sneaks to the back of the ship to hide, then it will be one point away from danger, and I just don't know how to support this Yu Eleven!" ”
Seeing that Shang Yu agreed very simply, Yu Yicai accompanied Shang Yu to send the food box into the cabin, and after placing more than ten dishes in the box, he and Shang Yu came to the deck again.
"Song Thirteen, you are waiting here, you will come back early after the master finishes eating, you are close to me in age, we will be closer in the future!" Because Shang Yu was so easy to talk and was very sympathetic to Shang Yu's experience, Yu Shiyi actually had a certain degree of affection for Shang Yu, so he said so.
"I'll be back sooner, Brother Eleven!" Shang Yu replied seriously, but thought in his heart: "I am not a member of the Li Mansion at all, and I stole your clothes and stole a bowl of rice from the Li Mansion, and I may never be able to see you in the future." ”
"Then I'll go back first. By the way, you can only leave after Grandpa Quan comes back, otherwise he will definitely scold me tomorrow when he drinks with my third uncle. After Yu Shiyi finished speaking, he patted Shang Yudi on the shoulder, and then carefully walked back to the shore from the board of the boat with the lantern and walked in the direction of the Li Mansion.
Shang Yu stood quietly on the deck, but there was no sound in the cabin, and the man surnamed Li was very quiet in the cabin, not like he was eating at all, which made Shang Yu feel a little surprised.
But surprise to surprise, Shang Yu looked around at the ship, and from what he had learned, although the length of this ship of more than 30 feet was not large, the width was also nearly ten feet, and it was a ship with a deeper draft and more cargo among inland ships, which was suitable for transportation between canals.
But there were no other ships nearby, which made Shang Yu a little surprised, how much cargo could this ship carry? At this moment, a whisper came from the cabin, which was difficult for ordinary people to hear.
"After transporting the goods to Zhouzhuang this time, I hope that Shen Fu can help Zhang Shicheng achieve hegemony, and then recover my Minyue country, why hasn't the clan sister arrived yet? The last time the pigeon sent a message that it was supposed to arrive two days ago, why didn't you come to see me? This voice was extremely low, and it was clear that the man surnamed Li was whispering to himself.
But Shang Yu's ears and eyes are extraordinary, but these words are heard clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "This rich businessman surnamed Li clearly wants to transport what goods to the young master of the table, and then transfer them to Taizhou Yigong, that is, Zhang Shicheng, who is now the king, what kind of goods is it?" ”
Just as he was thinking, he heard the man continue to whisper: "The emperor and the princelings in the Yuan court have temporarily achieved a balance, and they want to send Totok south to pacify Zhang Shicheng, whether this person can become a hegemon is also unknown, Shen Fu is my own son, plus he has also obtained the Lu family industry, this kind of bet is too big!" ”
Hearing this, Shang Yu was even more shocked, and shouted wildly in his heart: "It turns out that Young Master Cousin is not surnamed Shen, but should be surnamed Li?" At this moment, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and the heavens and the earth spun, and a fragrant wind blew, and he felt that he was thrown heavily on the deck in an instant, and his head fell heavily on the ground, and a sharp pain was heard, but half of his body was already numb.
I only heard a crisp female voice say, "Brother clan, why do you leave someone outside?" You're not afraid that your words will spread outside? ”
Shang Yu was face down at this time, but he found that his body couldn't move at all, so he couldn't even move his tongue if he wanted to, knowing that he was being clicked on the acupoint, he couldn't help but secretly complain, and thought in his heart: "Where did I show my flaws?" Although I used to be the scholar of the young master, if people knew my current identity as a murderer, and also knew that the young master was the son of the Li family's huge wealth, it would definitely kill me! I just don't know who this woman is, and this kind of martial arts may not be comparable to Master Luo Biqing! ”
"Clan sister, this young man is just a family member in my house, and your action will be a bit heavier. Why are you here? For many years we have only used flying pigeons to communicate, and we have never met, and you have always been good all these years? The man's voice was actually a little happy at the moment.
"It's not good, but I finally found some help to do my best for the great cause of the restoration of the Minyue Kingdom, although this Ding is young, but Fang Cai is standing not far from the cabin, if you just let him listen, wouldn't it be a mistake! If I don't kill him, forget it. The woman's voice said as if inadvertently.
"Nonsense! I speak so low that only I can hear it, and if he can hear it, unless I have the same kind of ear power as you and me, if so, I won't let you make a move. The man said with a smile.
"Brother! Listen to your words, then spare him, I have already counted his big acupoints, at this time he must have passed out, we can speak with confidence. ”
"I, Li Yanhong, have traveled all the way from Emei Mountain, and I have heard about Zhang Shicheng's rebellion, can you prepare those firearms? If Shen Fu's nephew can be sent to Zhang Shicheng and asked him to quickly capture Suzhou, Huzhou and Xuancheng, then he can border the Chuzhou rebels and help each other, and the Yuan court army will not be able to encircle the land that stretches for thousands of miles. The crisp woman's voice said.
"The siege firearms are basically ready, and they are currently moving slowly in the canal outside the city, just waiting for the clan sister to come and transport them to Zhouzhuang, the clan sister can forgive my brother for what happened back then, and I am very grateful to my brother!" The man laughed again.
Shang Yu was even more shocked after hearing it on the ground, and said in his heart: "Isn't this Li Yanhong Xiao Wan's mother?" She said that she lit my acupuncture point, why can I still hear them talking clearly, siege firearms? It was a very tightly controlled goods of the Yuan Court and ironware, and they could actually own and manufacture it, and I don't know what kind of style? ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Shang Yu gradually straightened out the fact in his heart that Shen Fu was the son born to Li Yanhong's sister after intermarriage with the same family surnamed Li, but he inherited the Shen family's property as the heir of the Shen family, and also recently obtained the Lu family's property, and the Li family turned out to be after the Minyue royal family, which had been destroyed two hundred years ago.
In the past two hundred years, the Minyue royal family has been seeking to restore the country, and several giant merchant industries in the south of the Yangtze River have the ability to support the army after having strong financial resources, and they also have firearms, which makes Shang Yu extremely surprised, but Shang Yu has a thought in his heart: "Why does the small country of Minyue want to restore the country?" Why didn't the Central Plains become a whole country, and couldn't the various ethnic groups, including the Han Chinese, the Mongolian people, and the Semu, establish a common state? ”
As soon as this idea came up, Shang Yu smiled bitterly, and then thought in his heart: "Didn't the Yuan Court just establish a seemingly complete country? But looking at the chaos like this today, Lu Shizun said that it is difficult for the world to be inclusive of ethnic groups other than the Han people, even if there are foreign races ruling the world in the future, it will soon become chaotic and poor. ”
He said that the alien race would always use the Central Plains as a natural pasture, providing them with food and money and pasture. This is what Shang Qing, the leader of the alliance at that time, said after the Wuhu Chaos in China, but why did it become such a world? Shang Yu's mind felt confused for a while.
I only heard the female voice say: "It's been two hundred years, if the Minyue Kingdom can be recovered, it doesn't matter if it can't be recovered, we just have to do our best, but this time the little sister sent this batch of firearms to Zhouzhuang, the original intention was to visit her sister, and then she went north to find revenge on the Iron Shirt Gate." ”
When Shang Yu heard the title of Iron Shirt Gate, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Why do I feel a little familiar with this name?" "For a while, I couldn't think of anything related to it.
"Sister! How are you going to deal with the affairs of the Lu family, the iron shirt door is not easy to deal with, there have always been outstanding masters in all generations, although your martial arts are much higher than that of your brother, but it is not a wise move to kill the door. The man's voice continued.
"The Lu family, the Lu family is just the tip of the iceberg of the Shang Alliance, if I hadn't fallen into Lu Weixuan's affection back then, I wouldn't have married him! Over the years, we have never been able to grasp the real inside story of Shangmeng, which is the biggest regret of my Li family. Even if I am my wife, Lu Weixuan has never confided in me about the internal affairs of the Business Alliance! But with the wealth you and Shen Fu's nephew in control now, even the local business alliance at this moment may not be able to compare. ”
"Naturally, I won't fight them recklessly! I want to pick their young disciples who have traveled abroad first, attack separately, and kill them one by one, this is the tactic of my Minyue people, what do you think? Li Yanhong let out a trace of hatred in her voice at this time.
If it weren't for the iron-shirted door, she would not have abandoned her husband and daughter for more than ten years, and if she didn't take revenge on this matter, it would be difficult for her to calm the resentment in her heart.
"Sister! It turns out that you have already had such thoughts, but you are worried about your brother! With all that said, let's start dining! As soon as the meal was put on the table, the chef surnamed Yu in our family was invited to the house at a great price, and the dishes were no less than the imperial kitchen. The man said.
"Yes, brother! At this time, I also happened to be a little hungry, but this family was still lying on the ground, very indecent! I helped him to the side of his seat. Li Yanhong said.
Shang Yu said in his heart at this time: "Thank God, mother-in-law! You're finally remembering me. Now that he knew that Li Yanhong was Lu Wan's mother, a sense of closeness rose in his heart, and he had already called her his mother-in-law in his heart.
A light veil came, and Shang Yu's body was immediately rolled up, and Shang Yu saw Li Yanhong sitting at the table in white clothes, wearing a veil on her face, and only two eyes looked extremely beautiful, and praised in her heart: "Sure enough, it is Xiao Wan's mother, you can already know her beauty just by looking at her eyes, otherwise the old man of the Lu family would not have been fascinated back then." ”
Li Yanhong was shocked at this time, she saw Shang Yu looking at her with her eyes open, but she clearly ordered Shang Yu's crypt, why did she open her eyes at this time, looking very sober?
She recognized Shang Yudi's appearance at a glance, and said in her heart: "The little thief in Lu Wan's portrait, Muyu Shang Yu, how can the murderer boy who incarnated as Mu Yu become a family member in the clan brother's mansion?" And still in front of me? ”
Seeing Li Yan's red expression, the man surnamed Li couldn't help asking, "Sister, why are you so surprised?" Is my family already dead? ”
Li Yanhong didn't answer, with a light gauze in her sleeve, Shang Yudi's body floated in front of her like nothing, Li Yanhong held Shang Yu's body, stretched out her right hand, and quickly held it on Shang Yu's vein.
"Strange! Could it be that my force is too light? Li Yanhong said a little incredulously.
Under a handful of veins, judging from the veins, she knew that in addition to the sleeping acupoints, Shang Yu's other acupoints were still restricted, and she could only think that she had just clicked lightly, so she stretched out her hand and connected the points between Shang Yu's chest and abdomen to unlock Shang Yu's other acupoints.
"Let me ask you, are you the one who was separated from my daughter near Yongchuan?" Li Yan asked with a glint in her red eyes.
Since the acupoint was unlocked, Shang Yu regained his mobility, he immediately took two steps back, knelt on the ground and said, "Mother-in-law is above, son-in-law Shang Yu kowtows to you!" ”
The man surnamed Li on the side became more and more curious, stood up with a wine glass and asked Li Yanhong, "Sister, why is this?" When did my family become your son-in-law? ”
Li Yanhong didn't expect Shang Yu to reply to action, so she actually saluted and called her like this, and when she heard the words of the man surnamed Li, her face immediately turned red, but after a while, her face changed, and she said sharply: "Bastard thing!" Who is your mother-in-law, you are just a lowly underground, how can you be worthy of being the son-in-law of my Li family? ”
Shang Yu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect that he was so polite to Lu Wan's mother, but instead attracted such a reprimand from the other party, and he stayed there for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.
