Chapter 175: Arrival
Baisha was already on his way to Tuguegarao, and Yin Mo had no intention of staying in Luzon.
Bai Sha rushed to Tuguegarao without taking anyone with him, and even the big cat and child were left on the ghost boat. This makes the tow child feel abandoned, staying on the ghost green boat and ignoring Yin Mole, and knowing to sleep all day long.
Yin Mo was helpless about this, compared with the fleet that came out of the hidden island, now the ghost green boat is nothing more than three more people, one is Sun Erniang who was brought out by Baisha from the third supply point, one is Qiangzi, and the other is Li Geng, the son of Blackbeard Li Kuiqi.
Although Bai Sha didn't have much idea that Yin Mole hadn't taught any skills since he accepted him as an apprentice, he couldn't teach other crew members some things, which would also facilitate the strength of the crew to be greatly improved.
When he was about to go to sea, Yin Mo finally ran out of wine and didn't leave his body, and began to reorganize the crew, distributing all the things that needed to be done on the ghost green boat, and everyone did their job well. It stands to reason that even a ship should have a first mate, but Yin Mo obviously has no such intention, so the position of the first mate is vacant.
The old crew members that Bai Sha brought with him before, such as Da Biao and Du Ju, except for Qiu Tian, no one else had dealt with Yin Mo in depth, so they kept a little distance from this powerful old man in their impression. This time, with Yin Mole going to sea, everyone didn't know what to face, anyway, Bai Sha was not there, and everyone felt uncomfortable......
Yin Mo distributed all the tasks and was about to go to sea, but he saw Zheng Zhilong waving blankly on the shore.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't see the ghost green boat, so he could only determine whether the ghost green boat had left in this way. Fortunately, Da Biao saw Zheng Zhilong, and then shouted loudly to confirm his position.
Zheng Zhilong didn't choose to board the ship, but stood on the shore and said: "Da Biao, tell Senior Yin Mole, ask him to help go to the hidden island to inform him, and let Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua return to Luzon with the fleet, and don't bring too much silver when you come back, and squeak if you receive it." ”
Da Biao recovered: "Captain, I heard it, so I'll tell Senior Yin Mole!" ”
Zheng Zhilong, who was standing on the shore, nodded and began to turn around and leave.
Da Biao came to Yin Mole's side, and needless to say, Yin Mole had already heard Zheng Zhilong's voice.
Da Biao said respectfully to Yin Mole: "Senior, why don't we go to the hidden island first, it's the way to know." ”
Yin Mo nodded and said: "It's okay, Zheng Zhilong can be regarded as having restored the original fleet, no longer need to hide and hide, and it can be regarded as fulfilling one of Bai Sha's wishes, we will follow what Zheng Zhilong said, go to the hidden island first, and by the way, you can also supply there, and then you can also bring some silver taels to set off, the best of both worlds." ”
Da Biao was in a trance for a while, thinking in his heart that Yin Mole's predecessors were really similar to his own first mate in some places, and they all liked to do the best of both worlds...... It should be like-minded!
Da Biao looked at the mole in front of him, tried to ask, and said, "Senior, do you say that it is better to call you senior or captain in the future?" I've always felt that it was a bit inappropriate to call it that way. ”
Yin Mole glanced at Da Biao and said, "You can call it whatever you want, just be happy." ”

Bai Sha and Li Yao reached a brief alliance, and after the topic of the head of the matter, the coachmen had already come over to remind them that it was time to go, so the two of them returned to their carriages and began to continue on the road.
Li Yao did not deceive Baisha, he did not light a fire to cook on the way to the road, and he did not go to the small shop to sit in the market town when he encountered the market town, anyway, the convoy only knew to bury his head in the road, and the stop time was also very short.
After Bai Sha returned to his own carriage, he carefully observed the layout of the carriage. The inside of the carriage is still very spacious, there is a quilt in the carpeted place, you can sleep, there is a small square table on the side, there is wine and water on it, and then there are a lot of dry food displayed on the partition of the wall, and there are many kinds of pastries and snacks.
Bai Sha was a little hungry, so he ate the pastry with water, and then opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside, but he didn't look at it for a long time and felt quite tasteless, as if only sleeping could make time pass faster, but Bai Sha, who had just woken up, really didn't feel a little sleepy.
Bai Sha sat on the carpet against the wall of the carriage, after leaving Luzon, the road became not very smooth, a little bumpy, but there was a feeling of the fleet sailing in the wind and rain at sea, which reminded Bai Sha of the ghost green boat.
Bai Sha didn't know if his master left with the ghost green boat, and he was worried that he would be disobedient if he was not around, in short, Bai Sha was worried about a bit too many things to count.
Time passed slowly, and the life in the carriage passed in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Baisha ate pastries like chewing wax, and the food was tasteless, but thinking that he could reach Tugugarao in one day, and he could continue to endure it.
When Bai Sha lifted the curtain again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at a place in the distance with some familiarity.
Baisha looks across a small bay to see that there is a market town opposite, and there is a wharf, Baisha is very familiar, this is the market town that he came to with fate, at this time it is sparsely populated. Baisha didn't expect that with the convoy, since he could see the former market town from the place he passed by, he could "revisit the old place" from afar, which made Baisha feel a little better.
Bai Sha stepped forward and opened the curtain, pointed in the direction of the market town, and asked the groom, "Master, are we going to pass through that place?" ”
The groom was familiar with the distance, and replied without hesitation: "Go back to your lordship, we will not pass anywhere, but go in the opposite direction, I think my lord is a little bored, please bear with me, we will be able to reach Tuguegarao one day." ”
Bai Sha nodded and retracted into the carriage, the convoy did not pass through the market town, and he could not drive to the market town alone.
Bai Sha had a plan in his heart, and when he arrived at Tuguegarao, the day's journey would not be very far, and if he took the sea route, with the help of the spirit pet, he should soon come to the market town. When the time comes, go to the ancestral house of the person in charge of C, take a turn and take a stick of incense, and then go to see the grandfather and grandson who sell straw sandals to see how they are doing now.
Bai Sha thought as he sent the tasteless pastries and snacks to the inside......
Another day passed, and the convoy finally arrived in Tuguegarao. The closer he got to Tuguegarao, the more anxious Bai Sha became, and from time to time he would open the curtains to take a look. The former market town was only a small place under the jurisdiction of Tuguegarao, according to Baisha's understanding, although Tuguegarao is not as prosperous as Luzon, but it is still a big place, but this time the carriage did not pass through the center of Tuguegarao, as if it was a detour to a place, which should be to conceal its whereabouts.
When the convoy stopped, the driver knocked on the wall outside and said, "My lord, we have arrived." ”
At this time, it was already evening, Bai Sha got out of the carriage, and the scene in front of him was a little surprising.
As far as the eye can see, the place where the convoy stopped is between a mountain col, surrounded by dense woods, only the place where the convoy stopped is a gentle area, under the col, Bai Sha couldn't help but think in his heart, if it rains heavily in this place, won't it be washed away? It's just that apparently this is too much, and there are no more ditches in the col, so there will be no such danger.
Bai Sha didn't know anything about here, originally thought that the convoy was the first team to come here, but he didn't expect that there were already people stationed here, it looked like a marching camp, and the entrance of the camp had already been full of rejection horses, this kind of obstacle often set up outside the barracks, this kind of obstacle is made of wood and then sharpened the top of the wood or pierced the gun head on the horizontal log, these obstacles are generally lined up in a row or several rows before and after the barracks gate are set up outside the barracks gate.
Baisha seemed to have a feeling of being in a military camp at this time, but in fact, the reality was almost the same.
Although Li Yao is also here for the first time, he is very familiar with this place, because he was arranging this matter before. The leaders of the first batch of teams to come here are all masters with clean foundations, and the people below are some laborers, but they are all strong, thick-skinned and rough-skinned, and they are experts at work.
Originally, several leaders here had already received the news that the convoy would arrive today, so they also made complete preparations for the unarrived convoy to pick up the dust and wash the dust.
This is an unfamiliar environment for Baisha, but Li Yao came to Baisha's side after getting off the car, with a smile on his face, as if he and Baisha have been good brothers for many years, and the two get along very well.
The people of the team are all coming here for the first time, so the original people quickly came up, and after a brief understanding, they began to bring the people who came separately, and began to take everyone to make proper arrangements, as for Li Yao and Baisha are special tasks, they have also received special care, and the two of them are naturally the leaders who were originally here.
It's isolated here, but they can still get in touch with the outside, at least they now know that the upper echelons who lead them to work are not Li Yao in the past, but Zheng Zhilong now. However, this does not affect the warm and respectful attitude of several people towards Li Yao and Bai Sha, Li Yao's reputation is outside, so he naturally has to be treated carefully. As for Bai Sha beside Li Yao, everyone only knew that there was such a person, whose status was equal to that of Lord Li Yao.
Underneath the col, camped like a march, are tents that can be moved at any time. But near the col, there are two rows of buildings, and they don't look like the crude huts of a hidden island, but a majestic-looking house, no worse than the one outside.
Obviously, after Li Yao and Bai Sha come, this will be their residence, there is no doubt about it. As for those people who can stay, it depends on the faces of the two......
