Niu Shiyun finally saw the East 'Gate' Qing again, compared with the last time, the East 'Gate' Qing at this time seemed to have a little more of the breath of the son's brother, that is his 'dealing' with the ministers in Yamaguchi, Kyoto and other places in Japan, and unconsciously contaminated with the feudal aristocratic atmosphere, although it has been washed away by thousands of miles of sea breeze.

In addition to the conditions that Tang Xiuji had promised, he also promised that after the establishment of the new shipyard, he would help to buy the Western ships they needed in Manraka and other places, and even look for Western shipwrights who could be mastered.

The two sides were talking happily, and unexpectedly handed in a note, Xiao Saburo presented it, and the east 'gate' Qing was slightly displeased, and said: "Didn't you see that I have a guest here!" But he knew that if there were no important things, his subordinates would not dare to make a mistake, this sentence was actually said to Niu Shiyun, and at the same time as he said this, he glanced at the note, his hand trembled slightly, his eyebrows jumped, and he laughed, and said to Niu Shiyun: "It turned out that Uncle Cao Guo from Nanao is here." ”

Niu Shiyun hurriedly got up and said, "Leader Cao came to Penghu, it must be something important. If so, I won't bother. ”

The east 'gate' Qing didn't stay long, and said with a smile: "Pay more respects to Ling Zun for me." When I 'draw' out of space, I will definitely go to Niujiapu again. "Ordered Li Chengtai to send Niu Shiyun out.

When there were only two boys left in the house, as well as Yu Buci, Yang Zhizhong, Tang Xiuji, and Anthony, Dongmen' Qing stood up suddenly, snorted heavily in his nostrils, and shouted, "Let the water snake Cai come in!" ”

Yu Buqi waited for his heart to skip a beat when he saw his reaction, and they all thought: "Water snake Cai? What's going on in South Australia? "As soon as the East 'Gate' Qing arrived in Penghu this time, he sent the water snake Cai brothers to Nanao to visit Nan Xu Dong with their own letters and gifts, and at the same time proposed to pick up his wife Zhang Yue'e. I don't know about this matter.

I saw the two brothers Water Snake Cai and Water Shrimp Cai trotting in, with a shy face, and said, "Chief Owner, I'm sorry, we ...... We're useless! Didn't pick up my sister-in-law. "Water Snake Cai is not of high rank in the fleet, but the brothers are both veteran brothers around Dong'men' Qing, and they are called Dong'men' Qing "Chief Ship Master" when they do things, and they usually occasionally call him Qingguan, and Zhang Yue'e is called sister-in-law.

East Gate' Qing asked: "Xu Dong refuses to let go?" Why didn't he let people go! That's my wife! ”

When Yu Buqi heard it, he knew that there was trouble again.

Water Snake Cai wiped his sweat and said, "What did Xu Dong say, Mrs. Xu has accepted her sister-in-law as a goddaughter, and that sister-in-law is also his goddaughter." He said that the 'daughter-in-law' had been gone for so long, and now he had to take over the 'daughter', and he couldn't just send two subordinates - he said that he wanted the chief owner to pick it up in person. ”

If these two sentences came from the mouth of Lin Guoxian, Yang Zhizhong and others would think that they were saying kind words in a reproachful tone, but when they came from the mouth of Nan Xudong, they would feel that they were 'yin' and had a 'yin' plan inside!

Dongmen' Qing was also slightly surprised when he heard it, thinking that Zhang Yue'e was Mrs. Xu's biological 'daughter' and the matter was a goof? But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, if this matter was a goof, Xu Dong's reaction should not be like this!

This time, the East 'Gate' celebration was also to guard against Xu Dong, so he deliberately behaved a little negligently, only letting the water snake Cai Shui Shrimp Cai pick it up, and the big shopkeeper and the agent did not move, only hoping that Xu Dong would think that he would treat the wife of the chaff as an idle person, and he would let the person go in a daze. I don't want Xu Dong to be fooled. East Gate Qing asked: "What do you think?" ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "This Nan Xu Dong is extremely gangster! Most of the time he saw the fortune of the chief shipper, he had the intention of blackmailing, and detained his wife as a strange goods. It may also be that he is worried that you, the general owner, and the people of Qinghuaxiang and Penghu Water Village will be detrimental to Nanao, so he took his wife as a hostage. ”

Yu Buxi frowned and said: "Although he Nan Xu Dong is far inferior to Xu Longtou, he is also a character. Although our chief owner has been in South Australia, but now he is also a suzerain, and his status is enough to compete with him, is he not afraid of being ridiculed for holding a wife like this? ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "If it is the Lord of Lin Zhai and Wang Wufeng, then even if the two sides are already opposed, they will not do such a thing." This Nan Xu Dong is not easy to say. ”

Dong Men' Qing snorted and said, "When we were in South Australia, we did a lot of things behind his back. If you know one thing about it, he'll kill us on the spot! He didn't see the flaw at the time, but he doesn't know if he sees it now—if he has seen it, then it makes sense for him to give us some 'color'! ”

Tang Xiuji said: "Owner of the village, I think this matter is difficult to be good, we have to prepare well." ”

Dongmen' Qing snorted, suddenly remembered something, and asked the water snake Cai: "You went this time, did you see Yue'e?" Did you have a word? ”

Water Snake Cai said: "I see." When we went, Xu Dong asked his sister-in-law to come out, and asked his wife to pretend to be very affectionate with her sister-in-law to let us see. Xu Dong was next to him, and my sister-in-law and we didn't talk well, so we only asked how we were doing, and we said that everything was okay with the owner. The sister-in-law said again, and said, ......"

Dongmen' Qing asked: "What do you say again!" ”

Water Snake Cai muttered for a while before saying, "Sister-in-law asked the chief owner why didn't you pick him up?" ”

When Dong Menqing heard this, he couldn't help but be in a trance, knocked his right fist on the table, and said, "I don't want to!" After a long while, he asked again: "Yue'e, how is her face?" Fat and thin? Is the gas 'colorful' enough? ”

Water Snake Cai thought for a while and said: "I don't remember what my sister-in-law looked like before I went to sea, the 'spirit' looked good, it's just ......"

The east 'gate' Qing hurriedly asked: "What is it?" ”

Shui Shrimp Cai helped: "Sister-in-law frowned, looking a little sad, as if she had thoughts." But there were so many people at the time that we didn't want to ask about that. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated and asked, "That's right!" Have you seen my son—or daughter?" ”

Water Snake Cai and Water Shrimp Cai glanced at each other, and after a long time, Water Snake Cai said, "We didn't see it at that time." Later, on the way back, I asked Uncle Cao Guo...... Listen to him...... It seems that my sister-in-law had a miscarriage. ”

As soon as Dongmen' Qing heard this, his eyes straightened! Staring directly at the two brothers, although the water snake Cai Shui Shrimp Cai was the old man of the East 'Gate' Qing, he was so frightened that his head shrank by such a star. Dongmenqing held back his breath, as if his stomach was full of fire, and suddenly looked back at Yang Zhizhong and said: "Uncle Yang, in the big shopkeeper here, you are more familiar with Xu Dong's personality!" You say, will my child be harmed by Xu Dong? ”

How dare Yang Zhizhong judge whether it is or not? I know that if I say a word, I am afraid that when the sea in eastern Guangdong lands, it will set off a bloody storm! only said: "It's better to ask Cao Gu'an to come in and ask." ”

Dongmen' Qing didn't respond, and after a long time, he asked the water snake Cai: "What about Xu Chaoguang?" Have you seen him? What did he say? ”

Water Snake Cai said: "We haven't seen him since we went to the island, and when we inquired later, it was said that he was sick." ”

"Sick?" Dongmen' Qing snorted: "Where is he sick!" He's sorry for me! That's why I don't dare to see the people I sent! He said to Tang Xiuji: "Gather people!" I'm going to South Australia to pick up Yue'e! ”

Yang Zhizhong and Yu Buci were taken aback, thinking that Dongmenqing was in such a mood, and they were afraid that it would be nothing good to go to South Australia! Yang Zhizhong said: "It's better to see Cao Gu'an before ......"

Dongmen' Qing waved his hand and said, "See what!" He'll definitely shirk it! I don't believe anyone's words in this matter except for Yue'e herself! You're going to arrange the boat! I'm going to pick her up in person and ask Xu Dong for an explanation by the way! ”

Tang Xiuji said: "Chief owner, if he refuses to release people, or pushes back, what should he do?" ”

Dongmen' Qing grabbed his hand, as if he had grabbed an island and pulled it out of the sea, and said, "Then I'll turn Nanao over!" ”

Tang Xiuji reminded: "But Wu Ping has just left, and I'm afraid that our strength is not enough." ”

Dongmenqing chuckled in his heart, and his fiery head suddenly cooled down.

Tang Xiuji said: "Do you want to send someone to chase Wu Ping back?" ”

Yang Zhizhong hurriedly persuaded: "It's better not to!" If we chase back the fleet that just left the port to do business in Nanyang, and turn around to Nanao Xingshi to ask for the guilt, before we set off, people will think that something big has happened. Then people's hearts will be unstable. Besides, we have only arrived in South Australia, and the foundation is not solid, so we will challenge Xu Dong now, and it is naturally easy to say if we win, but if we can't beat it, we will lose our prestige, and I am afraid that it will be unstable to go back to Penghu. ”

When the water snake Cai heard this, he shouted: "Then according to you, let your sister-in-law fall into the hands of Xu Dong?" ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that I have to wait, and wait until I come up with a foolproof plan." ”

Shui Shrimp Cai shouted: "Foolproof! What is a foolproof solution? In case ......"

As soon as they argued, the room became noisy, and the east gate became annoyed and shouted, "Stop arguing! ”

After a moment of silence, Tang Xiuji asked tentatively: "Chief Owner?" ”

Dongmen' Qing glanced at him, and suddenly felt very helpless, thinking: "If you want to win this battle, you must go to Uncle Lin and use the manpower of Penghu Village!" Uncle Lin must be able to help, but the people in Penghu Village want to see if I have the real ability to lead them, and now they are still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards me, so even if they are dispatched in this battle, they can only be used as support, and the one who really fights a tough battle has to be the main force of Qinghuaxiang. If you can land on the shore for a land battle, it will be fine, but if it is a naval battle, if you don't transfer Wu Ping back, you are really not sure! The thought of having to rely on Wu Ping as soon as he was involved in a naval battle made him very uncomfortable, and he glanced at Tang Xiuji and thought: "Hideyoshi's idea is right!" You have to quickly promote one or two more naval combat experts, otherwise Qing Huaxiang will be unstable internally! But where do you want a talent like Wu Ping? ”

Just as he was sinking 'groaning', Li Chengtai ran in, and Tang Xiuji shouted: "What are you doing!" Don't you see that you are discussing something important! Get out! ”

Li Chengtai said: "No! There's a distinguished guest at the port, do you want to pick it up, the owner? ”

Tang Xiuji said: "What kind of distinguished guest, do you want to bother the owner to pick it up?" ”

Li Chengtai said: "I heard that it is surnamed Dong 'Gate', line three, a single name and a preface!" ”

The east 'gate' sighed and said, "Third brother! How did he come! ”
