Chapter 305: What the Zhou Family Wanted
Zhou Dian said angrily: "I don't have the ability to take you to the battlefield in Henan, not to mention that I don't know where Xuan'er is now." ”
Mu Ying immediately choked her mouth when she heard this, "Brother Wen Xuan promised me a long time ago to let me be a little devil who dominates one side, it's been three years, and he hasn't fulfilled his promise yet!" ”
Zhou Dian deliberately teased Mu Ying, smacked his lips and said, "Your brother Wen Xuan is just coaxing you to be happy, are you still serious?" ”
"You talk nonsense!"
Mu Ying glared at Zhou Dian angrily, and said with a clear eye: "Brother Wen Xuan has never deceived me, he said that if he took me to the woods to catch birds, he would definitely catch them, and he said that if he took me to find the spring of the mountain stream, he would definitely find it...... In short, what he said must be counted! And he's hooked up with me! ”
Zhou Dian has been busy in the dark for the future of the Zhou family for many years, but he is nearly half a hundred years old but has not started a family for a long time, and he has more children under his knees.
In order to hide his identity, Zhou Dian even recognized his nephew Wen Xuan, but Wen Xianzhong had to do it as a last resort after he was kidnapped by Du Zundao.
It can be said that in his heart, family affection is more related to the interests of the family, but when he is lonely and drifting for half his life, he only feels that something in his heart has been quietly melted when he deals with Mu Ying at this moment, and his eyes look at him with a hint of love.
It would be nice if such a lovely and intelligent boy were his own son...... Zhou Dian couldn't help but think so.
"Okay, well, then let's just say that you're right." Zhou Dian smiled bitterly and admitted defeat.
Mu Ying pinched her waist and asked angrily: "Mr. Zhou, we will neither go back to Sanssouci Island, nor go to find Brother Wen Xuan, so where are we going?" ”
"After going to see one of my old friends." Zhou Dian rarely answered Mu Ying's question seriously.
"After your death?" Mu Ying muttered a sentence and asked confusedly, "Then why did you take me there?" ”
Zhou Dian returned to a smiling appearance, and said mysteriously: "Because the old man needs your help." ”
"Need my help?"
Zhou Dian's words surprised and delighted Mu Ying, although he was lively by nature, but he was extremely strict by Li Nanniang and Zhou Xian and others, and there were almost no playmates except for Wen Xuan and Mu Chong's two brothers when he overturned the boat mountain, and when he arrived on Sanssouci Island, he was held in the palm of his hand by everyone as a little young master.
Leaving the familiar surroundings and going to an unfamiliar place to show his skills and help Mr. Zhou tide over the difficult times was almost immediately regarded by him as a chivalrous feat.
Such feats have a great attraction for every boy, not to mention Mu Ying, who grew up in the head of the Ming Sect.
What's more, Mu Ying knows the relationship between this Mr. Zhou and Wen Xuan's brother and Aunt Zhou, helping him is tantamount to helping Wen Xuan's brother and Aunt Zhou, he is completely helping his own family!
Mu Ying quickly found countless reasons in her mind to convince herself, so that she could take an adventure and become a chivalrous warrior or hero who might be more powerful than the two brothers.
Mu Ying's eyes flickered, and she said with a slight meaning: "For the sake of Brother Wen Xuan's face, I will help Mr. Zhou with this no matter what." ”
Zhou Dian's eyes lit up: "Then let's make a decision?" ”
Mu Ying nodded seriously: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”
Zhou Dian laughed heartily, pulled Mu Ying back to the cabin, reached out and tore a chicken leg and handed it to him, "Come, good boy, eat more!" ”
Seeing the change in Zhou Dian's attitude, Mu Ying felt more and more that this trip might be full of fun, and for a while, she also left the rules of eating fast behind and happily nibbled on the chicken legs.
Half an hour later, another cargo ship approached the merchant ship where the two men were staying.
After hearing the sailor's greeting, Zhou Dian took Mu Ying out of the cabin again.
Zhou Dian smiled when he saw the figure standing at the front of the cargo ship, and ordered his subordinates to close the sails and anchor.
When the ships came closer, they also lowered their sails, and when the two ships came to a stop, the sailors on board carried two long planks and placed them on the edge of the two ships as a passage.
The man on the cargo ship looked gentle and elegant, dressed as a scholar, and immediately walked over to salute Zhou Dian after putting away the folding fan in his hand.
"The head of the house."
The man dressed as a scholar was Wang Fuzhi, the altar owner of the Xinyue Altar of the Qinglong Hall of the Ming Sect, and after Wen Xuan learned that he was actually a member of the Zhou family, he no longer sent people to search for his traces, and Wang Fuzhi was able to continue to hide in the Wenzhou Road area.
Zhou Dian nodded, "Are things ready?" ”
Wang Fuzhi smiled and pointed in the direction of the cabin with a paper fan, "According to your instructions, I have prepared a thousand sets of weapons and armor, and all of them are good products worn by the Yuan army, and I have put a few samples in the cabin, you might as well take a look at them yourself." ”
"It's been a hard time for you all these years." Zhou Dian's words were filled with gratitude.
Wang Fuzhi shook his head, "The lives under him are all from the Zhou family, why do you have to work hard?" ”
While the two were talking, Mu Ying took the lead in stepping on the plank and ran to the cargo ship, and quickly got into the cabin, there was no doubt that he was interested in the weapons and armor inside.
Zhou Dian scolded with a smile: "This anxious stinky boy." ”
Wang Fuzhi rarely saw such a smile on the face of this family master, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked through Zhou Dian's words: "Family master, this child is ......?"
"Mu Ying, it's Mu Chong's younger brother."
Wang Fuzhi thought for a while, and confirmed loudly: "Is it the child who picked it up?" ”
"Yes, this is it."
Wang Fuzhi smashed his palm with the handle of the fan, and asked with a smile: "This trip to Henan is to complete the major events you have been preparing for many years, presumably you won't bring a child with you for no reason, right?" ”
For his most trusted henchman, Zhou Dian has no intention of concealing it, "I think about it, I think we still have to prepare some back-ups, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, otherwise if they turn their faces and don't admit it, we will lose all our money." ”
Wang Fuzhi very much agreed with what Zhou Dian said about keeping a back hand, this thousand sets of weapons and armor were brand-new ordnance that he had spent countless efforts to buy from the officers of the Yuan Court over the years.
Rao is Zhou family has a deep background on Wenzhou Road, but taking out so many ordnance at one time has almost emptied the family's foundation.
"But he's just a kid after all, can he take on this responsibility?" Wang Fuzhi obviously didn't believe that Mu Ying, an eight-and-a-half-year-old child, could make much of a difference.
Zhou Dian smiled, "The identity of this son is almost unknown except for the people of the Wen, Zhou, and Mu families, and no one can suspect us." ”
Wang Fuzhi nodded solemnly, "How is this son's temperament?" ”
Zhou Dian said meaningfully: "Regardless of anything else, he always regards Xuan'er as his closest brother. ”
