Chapter 626: Southbound (23)

Xie Yi led his troops to search for Xu Le and his entourage, and at the same time, Xie Yongzhi sent a group of men and horses to the location of the Wuya War Boat to strengthen the guard. Then he ordered the remaining subordinates to hurry up and carry goods, grain and grass, and prepare to set off overnight to leave Parrot Island to find him

shelter. It is not safe to sail at night, even for old sailors, and under normal circumstances you should wait until dawn before setting off. But now the situation is critical, and there is no room for calm arrangement. Even money, food, and materials could not be carried in full, except for necessary things

Most of the supplies had to be discarded on the spot. On a normal day, this kind of order to discard heavy goods would definitely cause dissatisfaction among subordinates, and some people even spoke out against it. But tonight the order was executed smoothly, and those tribes had smiles on their faces when they learned that they were leaving Parrot Island,

As for discarding the baggage and so on, it is even more inappropriate, and they are all happy to accept the order. Although these people are not as ambitious as Xie Jiu and the others, they are not as loyal to the main family as Xie Yongzhi. For them, serving the head of the family is more of a last resort, although they can't escape, they can fight hard, but when it comes to death, they don't

People willing. After learning the news that Shen Guang was coming with his troops, these people quietly packed their bags and prepared to leave Parrot Island to find other nests, and even forced Xie San to go out for an interview to find out, which was also the common wish of these people. Now I am full of joy when I have fulfilled my wishes,

As for the baggage and so on, I don't care at all. Anyway, these are not your own things, and if you lose them, you lose them. As for his own goods, he will not suffer losses at all, so he can't worry about it.

Looking at these subordinates who couldn't hide their joy, Xie Yong's heart was sour. Before the battle, when did the soldiers and horses of the Xie family become like this? When did the soul of the Beifu army, which dared to fight in the face of Fu Jian's million-strong army, actually die out? On Parrot Island, everyone can barely be called a military army, and the difference between it and the warp eagle is only who obeys the orders. I am afraid that it will not be long before they will become a group of real water thieves, and they will be the same as those who rob their homes

The difference is that the lord wants to rely on them to restore the family business, but I am afraid that it is not easy. How should I explain to the head of the family at that time, and how can I be worthy of the lord's cultivation of me? Fortunately, there are still three points of conscience left in this song, and Xie Jiao, who was unable to walk after receiving forty military sticks, was carried by two personal soldiers, and was not left to fend for himself. Looking at Xie Jiao, who was still crying out in pain, Xie Yongzhi felt a little envious in his heart. Commit it yourself

I'm afraid that the sin under the will not be offset by a single military stick, and I am afraid that the future will be even more miserable, and I don't know if anyone will care about their lives at that time.

With such thoughts, Xie Yongzhi led his subordinates all the way to the anchorage of the Wuya Warship, looking at the tall and majestic warship that was like a moving city, Xie Yongzhi's heart only rose a little arrogantly. With this warship in hand, there is a capital to turn over. The world is vast, why worry about nowhere to find heroes? He has a warship armor staff in his hand, and a considerable amount of wealth, and he has the Xie family behind him to support him

How much. Maybe there will be another adventure on this trip, and it is unknown whether he can create another world for the lord.

The team on duty saw Xie Yong coming before, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Xie Yongzhi waved his hand to stop, and then asked, "Is there anything strange?" ”

The team shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't worry, everything is as usual." Xie Yongzhi let out a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell temporarily. What he was most afraid of was that Xu Le or Shen Guang would directly kill and destroy the ship here, if this was the case, he would completely lose his old capital, and there would be no chance to turn over. For this one

For the centaurs, the five-toothed warship is their most valuable weapon. For the Xie family, this warship is the hope of restoring the family business, and its importance is not even lower than that of the entire trilogy. With the Xie family's current financial strength, it is already the limit to be able to get such a war boat for his subordinates, and if it is damaged, it is impossible to replace it. The Xie family wants to revive the family name and restore the glory of their ancestors, and they can't do without this warship, so they use it with Xie

One of the missions was to keep the ship safe and sound. Even if necessary, even at the cost of one's own life. It's not to blame the Xie family for being stingy, even with the strength of the Great Sui State, the total number of Wuya warships is extremely limited. The reason for this is that the five-tooth boat is too large to be used for ordinary trivial things. Moreover, after the Great Sui mixed up in the sea, the main opponent was the Turks, and there was no need for water warfare, and the Wuya boat was useless, and the cost of building such a warship was too large. Even the Great Sui Imperial Court was reluctant to manufacture ships on a large scale because of their wealth, and now the Xie family is even more disposed

I can't afford it. Being able to get such a boat into his own hands and smooth out the end has already cost the Xie family a lot of money and a lot of favors. Xie Yongzhi also knows that even if it is his own life, it is not as valuable as this boat, and he is extra careful in maintaining it

I don't dare to be careless. The head of the Xie family knew that his own strength was not as good as before, and if he was like other family gates, he would not be able to attract the attention of others at all. Even if you win, you won't get much benefit, and if you lose, you will lose all your money. anti

However, such a big ship can attract people's attention, as long as you follow the right person, when the world changes hands in the future, the new monarch will inevitably remember this five-tooth boat, and the Xie family's share is indispensable when rewarding meritorious deeds. In order to ensure that the boat can show its face in front of people when the main family needs it, Xie Yongzhi spared no expense to purchase tung oil lacquer, which can not only prevent the hull from being eaten by water invasion and insects, but also ensure that the hull is as clean as new. Officers are on duty day and night every day, unless they have a military order

, otherwise no one is allowed to approach without permission.

Since learning the news that Shen Guang had brought his troops to come, the Parrot Island was heavily guarded, and the place where the boat was parked was even more strictly guarded. The number of troops on duty has doubled compared to the previous one, and in terms of security, it is no better than the cell where Han Yue is held. In addition to the loyalty to the master's family, the more important point is that now this five-tooth boat is not only an important weapon that the main family must preserve, but also a place where this tribe accumulates goods. The silk goods obtained from Xu Le's merchant ship were all piled up

On the ship, although some of them are unusable, the remaining amount is still very considerable, enough for these parts to live a few years of leisure. After all, the Xie family still has to maintain the dignity of the family, and they are even more afraid that the old accounts will be turned out in the future and affect the reputation of the family, so they control their subordinates very strictly on weekdays, and they are not allowed to go out to rob at will. Occasionally, most of the money and food obtained from conquering prefectures and counties were used by the main family, except for supporting the army. Although the people fought with their heads tied to their belts, their wealth was extremely limited. This is also the technique of the Xie family, not to let the subordinates get rich, lest they have the heart to flee. They don't have any money, even if they want to escape

There is nowhere to go. This method may not necessarily be wrong in troubled times, but the poor and afraid people can't see money, and seeing so many silk silks piled up there, even the leaders will inevitably have red eyes, let alone the soldiers below. These patrol soldiers had to defend the battle

Boats, even more careful not to lose their belongings, have a heavy responsibility. In addition, there is now a batch of newly arrived tung oil on board, and its value is not insignificant. In these years, tung oil is expensive and not easy to obtain, although the Great Sui Dynasty is not in politics, and the Xie family has a wide range of connections, but it is not easy to buy it for a long time. The hull of the five-tooth war boat is huge, and if Xie Yongzhi wants to ensure that it is not eaten by insects and can always keep it clean, the tung oil used is not a small number, and Rao has the Xie family as the backing and there will be occasional supply shortages. It is because it has just purchased a batch of accumulated stocks not long ago for emergencies, and in the future, the wandering rivers and lakes do not know where to settle down, and these tung oil are even more treasures

Seashell. Tung oil was originally stored on the sandbank, and Xie Yongzhi was worried that it would be used by Xu Le, so he deliberately moved it to the warship for preservation. There are so many valuable things placed here, and it is natural to be extra careful in precautions, and the soldiers and horses on duty are confidants, and the team leading the team is changing

It's his own nephew. Since he said he was fine, there was nothing to worry about. Xie Yongzhi took the lead in getting on the boat, and the people shook the winch, and with the power of the noose, the giant boat was dragged out of the moorage little by little and sent into the water. The sound of a winch creaked like a wild beast grinding its teeth, and in the darkness of the night, a giant beast gradually woke up from its sleep. Thank you

Zhili looked back at Parrot Island at the bow of the boat without saying a word, and with the sound of water, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and all the Xie family members on the boat breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he is in the water, this life will be saved, whether it is Xu Le or Meat Feixian. Xie Yongzhi still tightened his face and didn't say a word, and under his influence, the others didn't dare to speak, except for the sound of breathing on the huge boat

It's the sound of oars paddling.

Li straw shoes came to Xie Yongzhi's side at this time and said with a smile: "Xie Da, our brothers have no ability, and they are not good at eating idle meals, why don't we just let us guard those money, food, and goods?" Xie Yongzhi glanced at Li straw shoes, and said coldly: "Those goods have never given birth to wings, they can neither fly nor escape, and they don't need to be taken care of!" "He wanted to drive people away directly, but now that he is employing people, there is indeed a place that needs to be seen

Shou, and changed his words:

"Leader Xie Jiao needs manpower over there, and a few of you are going to serve. The officers and soldiers are ambushing us somewhere, and they may go to war at any time, so don't move around casually if you have nothing to do. Li Straw Shoes didn't seem to hear the threat and distrust in Xie Yongzhi's words, but nodded and thanked him, and then took a few companions all the way to Xie Jiao's cabin. The hull of this five-tooth warship is huge, and although it is propelled by wind and current, it also requires a large number of sailors to advance and retreat. The things that the Xie family did couldn't see the light, they couldn't hire sailors, and all the things they did were handled by their own people, even Li Straw Shoes and others couldn't go forward. Every time the five-tooth boat is dispatched,

Except for the soldiers, the rest could not rest. Tonight, Xie Yi brought a hundred soldiers to search for Xu Le and others, and the manpower on the ship was even more stretched, except for the guards on the deck, basically everyone went to control the ship, and there were few idlers. Xie Jiao is also because he is really unable to work,

In order to still have the right to rest at such a time. Li Straw Shoes and others came all the way to Xie Jiao's cabin, and there was a Xie Jiao's personal soldier standing guard outside the cabin. In the cabin, Xie Jiao lay there and couldn't stop crying out in pain, and when he heard the sound of the cabin door, he looked up in pain, and saw that it was Li Straw Shoes and others coming in, the pain on his face was gone, and he turned into a smile, and he turned over and jumped up, his body was sensitive and there was no injury at all.
