The Tengwu suddenly caught fire, the fleet suddenly had some commotion, Jiang Yishui's face was ugly, and at this time, he couldn't care about Sven, and said angrily: "What the hell is going on?" Why do the good ones catch fire? ”

There was a humane on the side: "Third master, there is no flag sent over there, but someone must have been sent over to report and listen to the voice over there, and at this time it should also be fighting the fire." ”

Sure enough, a moment later, a small boat was already approaching the side of the boat, and after boarding the boat, the man hurried over, looked frightened, and fell to his knees: "Little one..... The little one has seen the third master! ”

"Wang Fu, why did your ship catch fire?" Jiang Yishui's face was extremely ugly, "What's the situation now?" ”

Qi Ning knew that this Wang Fu should be the captain of the Tengwu, but he saw Wang Fu's face pale, and said: "Third master, the matter is clear, tonight there are a few helmsmen in the bilge to learn the Nanyang people to eat barbecue, drink a few more cups, did not extinguish the fire, and then the fire spread, and it is too late to find out." Anyway, two people rushed out of it alive, and there were a few people whose lives were uncertain, and now they are all fighting the fire and not letting the fire spread. ”

"Barbecue?" Jiang Yishui said angrily: "Don't you know the rules on the ship?" They're so bold. ”

Seeing that they were about to get home, these people relaxed, probably tired on the way, and everyone went to bed early, although they left people to patrol, but they ..... But I forgot to go to the bilge to take a look, those helmsmen..... The helmsman was confused for a while, broke the rules, and caused a catastrophe ......! Wang Fu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead: "The little one must be punished heavily when he turns around." ”

Jiang Yishui was furious, rushed up and kicked Wang Fu's face, Wang Fu screamed miserably, and was kicked to the ground, Jiang Yishui scolded angrily: "Heavy punishment? You know if something happens, the ship will be completely destroyed. Let's gather together to make these ships go as far as the South Seas, and if there is one less ship, do you know how much silver will be lost? I have always warned you, as long as you don't land for a day, you must not be sloppy for a day, and you must be careful at all times, I will hand over the Tengwu to you, but also to see that you are old and serious, you have caused me such a big disaster! ”

"Yes.... It's a little confused, ask the third master for forgiveness! Wang Fu knelt on the ground and let the blood flow from his mouth.

"I won't punish you, you know, the caravan is not just a transaction of our Jiang family, there are many families in the East China Sea who are involved in it." Jiang Yishui sneered: "How many losses there are this time, go back and think carefully, and when you go back, let those owners decide how to punish you." ”

Shen Liangqiu finally said: "Shen Sanshao, the top priority is not to hold accountable, but to solve the trouble first, whether it is safe on the Tengwu now, and must not let people die on it." ”

Jiang Yishui hurriedly said: "What General Shen said is extremely true. Xiang Wang Fu asked, "What is the current situation of the Tengwu and how big is the loss?" ”

"Back to the third master, there is not much loss of goods, it's just ..... It's just that the deck has been burned and water has been poured into it, and it is being dealt with intensively. Wang Fu said: "The small one.... Small.....! "I didn't dare to continue.

Jiang Yishui said angrily: "What the hell, you can say it quickly, don't be bothered." ”

"The little one thinks that it is temporarily inconvenient for the Tengwu to continue sailing." Wang Fudao: "Now step up the repair, if you hurry up, it should be repaired within a day, if you barely sail, I'm afraid of .....!" ”

Jiang Yishui frowned and said, "Are you saying that the Tengwu can't continue sailing?" ”

"Barely feasible, but it could cost even more." Wang Fu stiffened his head and said: "So the little suggestion is to stop for a day." ”

Jiang Yishui sneered: "You said stop for a day, stop for a day?" There is a time limit for trade, and many goods simply cannot be on board for too long, and must be disembarked as soon as possible and properly handled. Xiang Tengwu glanced at the Tengwu, thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, the caravan continues to move forward, since you Tengwu can't go, stay for a day, and after repairing, quickly follow." ”

"But..... But if only the Tengwu remains, will it ..... Will there be a pirate attack? Wang Fu said worriedly.

Jiang Yishui scolded: "If you really want to be robbed by pirates, then you deserve it." Knowing that he was also angry, he added: "With the banner of our Jiang family's caravan, those dogs don't dare to mess around." ”

Qi Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Sanshao, if a group of hungry wolves find a rabbit in their mouths, do you think they will care who raised the rabbit?" ”

Shen Liangqiu also bowed his head and said, "That's true." Although it was only a day from the shore, the pirates might not wander over, and when they saw a merchant ship alone, they would definitely take action. ”

"This .....!" Jiang Yishui groaned slightly, and then said: "The Black Wind is also left as a guard, leaving more people for you, after you repair it, set off immediately, without delay." ”

Wang Fu hurriedly said: "The little one thanked the third master." Don't dare to stay here longer, respectfully retreat, Jiang Yishui muttered a few words, and then smiled: "General Shen, Brother Ning, it's not a big deal, don't be disturbed by such a bad thing, let's continue to drink." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "Sanshao's hospitality today has been received, it's already very late, a little tired, say goodbye today, if he has the opportunity in the future, let's get together again." He looked at Shen Liangqiu and asked, "General Shen, .....what do you mean?" ”

"Yes, it's getting late, so I won't bother much." Shen Liangqiu's words were concise and to the point, and he said goodbye.

Tengwu caught fire, Jiang Yishui's mood was naturally not good, and he did not stay, sent the two off the boat, Qi Ning and the two returned by boat, passing by the edge of the Tengwu, and saw that the situation on the Tengwu had roughly stabilized, this Tengwu and a cargo ship behind him had the deepest draft among the many ships in the fleet, and the cargo was naturally the most, after the fire, perhaps because of the seawater entering the bottom of the ship, the draft became deeper at this time.

After Qi Ning and the others returned to the ship, the merchant fleet did not stop and continued to sail, the Tengwu remained in place, the next ship stayed to accompany the escort, and the other ships bypassed the Tengwu and followed the main ship to continue on their way.

Qi Ning stood on the side of the ship, watching the two ships stay where they were, his eyes deep.

The next trip was still very smooth, and at dusk the next day, it was already close to the coastline, and Jiang Yishui's merchant fleet could not dock at the dock of the East China Sea Division, and the dock of its own merchant fleet was separated.

This time the shark fishing plan, the action is very secretive, there are not many people in the East China Sea Division who know, the soldiers only think that the three-way people and horses are really out to sea to patrol, and the other two fleets have returned before this, and when Shen Liangqiu's three boats docked, they did not make too many waves, this time they brought back only two corpses, Shen Liangqiu instructed Tang Hui to contact the Thorn History Mansion, and send the body of Dr. Hu to the Thorn History Mansion overnight and hand it over there, The matter of finding Dr. Hu's family and returning the body naturally fell on the local government.

As for the corpse of the black tiger shark, it was ordered that Zhu Shuo send someone to guard it.

This operation can be said to be unexpectedly smooth, not only did he not meet the bandits, but he also got the head of the black tiger shark extremely smoothly, and Shen Liangqiu's solemn face in the past few days was also slightly relaxed.

"Master Hou, I have been tired in the past few days, but fortunately, my actions have been smooth and I have lived up to Lord Hou's expectations." Shen Liangqiu let out a sigh: "It's getting late, after the Hou Ye has dinner, General Bei will personally escort you back to the city." ”

Qi Ning hadn't spoken yet, but he saw a naval army general hurrying over, and saw Shen Liangqiu and Qi Ning together, bowing his hand, but he looked like he wanted to say something, but Qi Ning looked at his face and knew that there must be something urgent.

Shen Liangqiu had already said in a deep voice: "There is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

The general hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "General, General Xin has arrived!" ”

"General Xin?" Shen Liangqiu didn't react for a while, "Which Xin .....?" But he didn't say anything, his face had already changed color slightly, Qi Ning saw this, a little strange, the general had already said: "General Xin knows that the general is coming back, and is waiting in the tent, saying that if the general has time, he wants to meet with you." ”

Shen Liangqiu seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions, nodding slightly, Qi Ning couldn't help but ask, "General Shen, who is this General Xin?" He knew that after the death of Shentai Zhilin, the highest general of the East China Sea Division was Shen Liangqiu, and now this general Xin who suddenly appeared was waiting for Shen Liangqiu to see him in the tent, the shelf was not small, if it was Shen Liangqiu's general, it would never be so bold.

"Master Hou, General Xin was the deputy general beside the old Lord Hou back then." Shen Liangqiu's expression was solemn: "When the old marquis left the navy, he handed over the sailor to the metropolitan governor, and General Xin also followed the old marquis back to Beijing and has been serving by the old marquis's side. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning was stunned: "In this way, this General Xin is a veteran of the East China Sea Division?" ”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said: "General Xin is outstanding, it was the old marquis who personally picked it up, he was loyal to the old marquis, when the old marquis returned to Beijing, General Xin took the initiative to follow back to Beijing to serve around, and the old marquis also agreed." He has been out of the army for many years, and he has never returned, and he can't think of .....! ”

"Maybe the old marquis has been waiting for news from the governor of the capital, but there has been no result for a long time, and the old marquis is anxious, so he sent General Xin to inquire." Qi Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Yes, does this General Xin still have a general?" ”

"General Xin has the title of General Sipin Jianwei." Shen Liangqiu said: "He is low-key, rarely interacts with people, and always follows the old marquis, and there are not many people in the capital who know General Xin." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this was true, he had been in the capital for a long time, and he had seen the characters with heads and faces, even if he hadn't seen it, he had heard of it if he had some reputation, but this General Xin himself had never heard of it, so he was naturally an extremely low-key person, but thinking about it, even a powerful figure like the Golden Daohou Taihuang was now extremely low-key in the Chu State, and even made the imperial court sometimes forget the existence of the Golden Daohou, as a subordinate general around the Golden Daohou, it is not uncommon for people to be unknown.

"By the way, what is the name of this General Xin?"

"Xin Ci!" Shen Liangqiu said: "Hard work, reward!" ”
