Chapter 173: Placed aside
Early the next morning, a carriage stopped at the gate of Zheng Zhilong's courtyard, which had come to pick up Baisha and rush to Tugejialao.
Before the carriage came, Bai Sha had already returned, and he and the crew brothers had been drinking and talking all night last night, and when they came back, they were already sleepy, but Zheng Zhilong didn't want Bai Sha to rest for a while, but grabbed the other party and kept commanding.
Bai Sha didn't get tired of it, listening to Zheng Zhilong's constant chatter with sleepiness, and as for the carriage outside the courtyard gate, he had to wait.
"Baisha, you must be cautious along the way, no matter what, if you want to reach Tugugarao safely."
"When you go to Tuguegarao, we will send you a message through carrier pigeons, so be sure to communicate more."
"If you have more time to keep an eye on Li Yao, he will definitely be very dishonest in Tuguegarao......"
Bai Sha hurriedly stopped the other party and said: "Zheng Zhilong, I beg you to stop, I remember what you said, don't keep talking over and over again, I'm too sleepy now, it's better to get into the carriage and rest early." ”
After nagging for a long time, Zheng Zhilong finally stopped, and at this time, Li Qiaoer also prepared a few brand new clothes for Bai Sha and wrapped them and personally delivered them to Bai Sha.
Bai Sha accepted Li Qiao'er's thoughts, turned around and said to Zheng Zhilong: "It's still Qiao'er's close, and I also know how to prepare bags for the first mate, look at you, except for chattering, there is nothing substantial." ”
Zheng Zhilong really didn't prepare anything for Bai Sha, so he had to personally send it outside the courtyard gate.
After Bai Sha got into the carriage, he just stretched out a hand and shook it at Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha and then stopped moving.
The carriage began to move slowly, and soon disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and was on the road smoothly.
The speed of the carriage was not fast, the road was very smooth, and after entering the carriage, Bai Sha lay on the carpet and quickly fell asleep. Zheng Zhilong was very worried that Bai Sha would encounter danger on the road, but Bai Sha himself was not worried at all, he didn't believe that Li Yao would attack him on the road, so I fell asleep with peace of mind.
The carriage came to the city gate, and the convoy outside the city gate at this time had been neatly parked, ready to go, waiting for the belated white sand. Except for the coachman, all the others who rushed to Tuguegarao were not in the carriage. Bai Sha felt the carriage pause, but he didn't want to wake up, and still fell asleep, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.
On the city wall at this time, Li Jian looked at the convoy below that began to move slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Whether it is Bai Sha or Li Yao, Li Jian has no good impression of the two, especially for Bai Sha, he wants to get rid of them quickly.
This morning is a special day, the convoy seems to have left very peacefully, but it has touched the hearts of many people, even Li Jian personally appeared on the city wall, and the other pillars although they did not see off on the spot, but they all sent their subordinates to watch. Tuguegarau is highly classified, so it walks quietly, and a pair of carriages going out of town does not attract the attention of others, because every day there are convoys going out of the city and into the city, which is a very normal thing.
After Bai Sha left, Zheng Zhilong did not continue to take it in the courtyard, but came to Li Dan's side.
Zheng Zhilong, as usual, first pressed the acupoint for Li Dan, and then washed his hands and sat down.
Li Dan looked at Zheng Zhilong and said slowly: "Zhilong, listen to Li Yao, you brought a new member, are you going to introduce it?" ”
Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Li Yao to tell him about it, and the object that Li Dan asked about at this time was obviously Li Qiaoer. Originally, Zheng Zhilong thought that this was just a small matter, but he didn't expect Li Dan to specifically mention it.
Zheng Zhilong said honestly: "My lord, I did bring a person, he is the daughter of Blackbeard Li Kuiqi. ”
"You have a good relationship?" Li Dan continued to ask.
Zheng Zhilong said: "Back to my lord, Li Qiao'er is my maidservant, and she usually does some things to bring tea and water." ”
Li Dan said softly: "It's nothing, I'll just ask casually, it's just that there are a lot of secrets in the place where you are, and you have to report when people usually enter and leave, let alone someone from outside." ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Li Qiao'er has always been in her own room, and she won't walk around if she has nothing to do." ”
"Later, the newcomer remembered to come and tell me." Li Dan said this, which can be regarded as agreeing to Li Qiaoer's existence.
Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Li Dan had to drive Li Qiao'er out, it would be a trouble, the fleet on the hidden island had not yet returned, and the ghost green boat should also be gone, and there was no place for Li Qiao'er to stay outside.
Zheng Zhilong continued: "My lord, in fact, I came here this time to ask you for something. ”
Li Dan said with some curiosity: "Please, it's really not easy for this word to come out of your mouth, you can talk about it for the time being, I really want to know what you need to ask me." ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "At the beginning, I went to the ghost green boat with Yin Mole's predecessor to invite Baisha to come over, but he said that it was okay to join, and I had to promise him one condition, that is, let all our original crew return to Luzon, and there is no need to hide and hide anymore." ”
If Zheng Zhilong hadn't mentioned this matter, Li Dan would have forgotten about it, and only after thinking about it now did he ask: "That is to say, your original fleet is now in the hands of Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua, but it is hidden." ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded, the real situation is indeed the case.
Li Dan thought for a while and said: "Although Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua don't have much strength, they can be regarded as old faces, since this is what you promised Baisha, then I promise you to let them return to Luzon and trade as before." ”
Li Dan readily agreed to this matter, so that Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief again, so that the purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and the trip is in vain, and what to do now is to let Li Kuiqi and them come back.
Li Dan's words can determine whether many people have food or not, and it is very weighty. This matter is not a big deal for Li Dan, after all, it is always a good thing to trade with a little more people, and Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua will come back when they come back.
Zheng Zhilong cleared in his heart that there was a large amount of real money and silver in the current fleet, and this silver might not be able to be brought back, otherwise if it was looked at, Baisha's sweep some time ago would be exposed. These coins are not a small amount of money, and they must be properly managed.
Li Dan looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "Let him pass the previous things completely, remember one thing, that is, your current identity is no longer the captain of the original fleet, and every word I say must be implemented seriously, no matter how big or small." Since you have come here, everything must follow the rules, such as Li Qiaoer's incident. ”
Li Dan mentioned Li Qiaoer's matter for the second time, and he had to make Zheng Zhilong sensitive, he didn't know why Li Dan repeatedly mentioned this matter, his current identity, what if there was one more Li Qiaoer by his side? Zheng Zhilong couldn't figure it out.
Although Zheng Zhilong couldn't figure it out, he still nodded, indicating that he remembered these instructions.
Zheng Zhilong changed the topic and said, "My lord, Bai Sha has already set off with the convoy in the morning, you said that in terms of the relationship between him and Li Yao, there will be no disputes on the way, right?" ”
Zheng Zhilong is always at ease with Baisha's safety, after all, there is no helper around Baisha now, and he is completely on the road alone, if someone has other ideas at this time, Baisha will be weak and become very dangerous.
Li Dan smiled slightly and said, "You still don't know Li Yao, or you still underestimate him." Li Yao is a person who can hide very well, no matter what he thinks about Baisha, it is impossible to do it in a short time, this is not his style of doing things. The more you get to know Li Yao in the future, the more you will find that he is different, he is really powerful, but he has planted a heel in your and Bai Sha's hands, so he will seem a little weak. ”
Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said: "In fact, the reason why we were able to defeat Li Yao in the original incident on the dock was only due to the credit of Yin Mole's predecessors. Bai Sha got the ghost green boat by virtue of his real skills. ”
Li Dan didn't frown slightly, and asked, "Baisha is gone, where is the ghost green boat now?" ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "After Yin Mole's predecessor left here, he didn't go far, but went to the ghost green boat. ”
"The ghost green boat is only moved by Bai Sha alone, and there is no way for the others to drive away?" Li Dan asked with some concern.
Zheng Zhilong did not hide it, and said truthfully: "Yin Mole's predecessors can also drive the ghost green boat, and they can drive the ghost green boat by relying on the red gems on their bodies, that is the power that drives the ghost green boat." ”
Li Dan said with some displeasure: "Why didn't you tell me about this before?" ”
Zheng Zhilong told a lie: "Lord Hui, this matter was also told to me before Bai Sha left today, and I didn't know about it before. ”
Li Dan believed Zheng Zhilong's statement, and said slowly: "Yin Mo is not a peaceful person, I thought that controlling Baisha was equivalent to indirectly controlling Baisha, but I didn't expect this kid to put me together." The ghost green boat is in Yin Mole's hand, which means that it has nothing to do with me. ”
Li Dan asked: "We have secretly investigated Baisha and you, and we didn't find anything special about Baisha at that time. There are only four colored gems in total, why does Bai Sha also have a gem in his hand, could it be that Yin Mole gave it to him? ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "I have never seen a red stone on Bai Sha's body, this is what he said, and I don't know where he is hiding. ”
Zheng Zhilong told the secret of Baisha, I am afraid that the content of the first flying pigeon biography is to let Baisha hide it.
Li Dan continued: "I didn't expect Baisha to not only surprise me, but also have a lot of treasures on my body, I'm afraid it is also like a mole, with red stones inlaid in the flesh and blood. ”
Zheng Zhilong didn't speak, he knew that the red stone blocks in Baisha were hung, which was different from Yin's mole.
"Where are the remaining two gems?" Li Dan said to himself.
