Chapter 174: Show of Force

Everyone chatted for a while, and a group of people walked into the hotel.

Zhao Zizhong took the lead, and the six brothers walked in, all of them with solemn expressions on their faces. Antaro and Boris were covered in blood.

Cao Deshun was shocked, these people must have gone to kill people!

Zhao Zizhong walked up to the three people, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I made the three of you wait for a long time." Something just happened and we're done. I'll let the guys open the table right away, and I'll be sure to have a few more drinks with you. ”

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "It's not in the way, I don't know what happened?" Need our help? ”

An Dalang said angrily: "There are a few blind guys among the homeless people who want to incite people to riot, and they are all killed by us. ”

Wang Mingjun laughed dryly, and then said: "It's really that I didn't screen the homeless people, I'm sorry." I will definitely pay attention in the future, I will definitely pay attention. ”

Zhao Zizhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, have you seen outside?" We don't blame you, there are a lot of people in the homeless people, there are all kinds of people. Brother Wang doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he has fiery eyes, how can he see those villains? ”

"Mr. Zhao, 'three heads and six arms, fiery eyes', what is the allusion?" Liang Daguan asked puzzled.

Zhao Zi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there was no novel "Journey to the West" in this era, and "three heads and six arms, fiery eyes" was not yet known.

Na Zhe came out to play a round: "This is a Western legend, there is a god who is 'three heads and six arms, fiery eyes and golden eyes', he has great powers, and he can see all the demons and monsters at a glance." ”

The three of them suddenly realized, and they all said that the brothers were well-informed and geniuses in the world.

Zhao Zizhong humbled a few words, and then asked An Dalang and Boris to wash, and then change clothes.

After the guy poured wine for everyone, he raised his glass and said: "Three distinguished guests, the initial business of Qishan Island, the conditions are simple, and I neglect you." I'll do it first for respect. ”

Then he drank a glass of spirits and showed the bottom of it.

Cao Deshun took the lead, and all three of them did it. Wang Mingjun couldn't drink enough, and his face immediately turned red.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, Du Dalei and Na Zhe kept telling jokes from later generations to adjust the atmosphere and make everyone laugh.

An Dalang and Boris were in charge of persuading the drinkers, and they choked the three of them, and in the end they were all drunk and carried back to the small building.

Cui Daoshu found a few servants of the Cui family to stay and take care of the three people, and the brothers went back to rest.

The next morning, Wang Mingjun was woken up by the sound of birdsong. He struggled to open his eyes and sat up slowly.

He paused for a moment and put on his shoes and went down to the ground. Pushing open the wooden window, the strong sunlight stung his eyes.

After a while, he got used to it and found himself in a room on the second floor. When he got out of the room, he saw that the door next door was wide open, and Liang Daguan was sleeping soundly.

Wang Mingjun walked down the stairs to the first floor and saw Cao Deshun sitting and drinking water.

"Brother Cao, you got up early."

Cao Deshun looked back at him and said with a wry smile: "I drank me badly yesterday, that Boris is purely a wine barrel!" I couldn't help myself, and I fought with him. People didn't do anything, but I don't know how many times I threw up! I don't know how I got back in the end. ”

Wang Mingjun said: "I'm not as good as you, I don't know anything about it for a long time." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Cui Daoshu walked in.

He asked with a smile, "How are you resting?" ”

The two of them vomited bitterness, and they both said that they almost didn't drink to death!

Cui Daoshu shook his head, "Ever since I met my brothers, I haven't drunk a drop of alcohol, so as not to be drunk to death by them." ”

Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun both looked at Cui Daoshu with resentful expressions, meaning that you are too uninteresting! Why didn't you say it sooner!

At this time, Liang Daguan staggered down and greeted everyone.

Cui Daoshu ordered the servants to bring some porridge and side dishes, and after everyone had eaten, Cui Daoshu said to the three of them: "Everyone, I want to take you to a very important place. It's a bit far away, so please bring your hat in case you get sunburned. ”

The three of them went back and got ready, and walked outside the camp with Cui Daoshu.

Everyone watched the scenery along the way, and after more than an hour, they came to the south of Qishan Island.

Suddenly there is a large area of salt pans that cannot be seen at a glance. Many people are working hard under the strong sun. Someone was churning the salt water, and someone was using a rake to hold the sea salt of the white flowers. The sea salt piled up on the edge of the salt pans is a spectacular sight to behold.

The three of them were dumbfounded, and they didn't recover from their mouths open for a long time.

Liang Daguan suddenly rushed into the salt pan and shouted excitedly: "Haha, it turns out that the salt is made like this!" Lao Tzu is going to get rich! ”

Cao Deshun stared at Cui Daoshu and said in a dry voice: "I am really a frog at the bottom of the well!" In the past, I only knew that boiling the sea was salt, but who knew that salt could be obtained in such large quantities! Brother Cui Xian, who came up with this method? ”

"It's Boris."

"What a genius! Brother Cui Xian, what other good things do you have, can you take them out together? I can't stand the fright! ”

Cui Daoshu smiled happily, "Brother Cao, there must be good things, I'm afraid you don't have a good appetite and can't eat so much." ”

Wang Mingjun hurriedly said: "Brother Cui Xian, and me!" Brother Cao can't eat alone, Brother Liang and I will definitely help. When we all work together, we will definitely make you satisfied. ”

Cui Daoshu saw that the goal was achieved, so he called back the Liang Daguan who was still crazy, and everyone went back together.

Along the way, the three of them also asked questions excitedly, and Cui Daoshu answered them one by one, allowing them to understand the secret of drying salt.

Cao Deshun asked: "Brother Cui Xian, although this method of drying salt is ingenious, others can know it at a glance. If someone passes by here by boat, they will learn by looking at it. What will you do then? ”

Cui Daoshu sneered and said, "What if you learn it?" As long as someone is drying salt on the beach, we can kill them all and leave them with nothing! ”

The three of them stopped talking, and secretly thought that Cui Daoshu was talking big.

Cui Daoshu opened his mouth and said: "You must think that I am being ashamed, I will take everyone to a place, and you will know if I am bragging." ”

Cui Daoshu led the three of them to the pier to the north. After more than an hour, everyone walked to the pier and boarded a warship.

Guo Jintao greeted him with a smile, "Family master, everything is ready." ”

Cui Daoshu nodded, "Let's set sail and act according to the plan." ”

The sailors got busy, hoisted their sails and anchored, and the ships slowly left the dock.

The warship continued to accelerate, and soon came to the north of a deserted island not far from Qishan Island.

The area of this small island is not large, only about a few square kilometers. The vegetation on the island is lush and full of lush shrubs and weeds.

Guo Jintao loudly ordered the warship to turn and slowly approached the island.

The ship's guards lifted the tarpaulin covering the bed crossbow and ballista, revealing the mass killer underneath.

The three of them carefully observed the movements of the guards and found that they were all well-trained, methodical and skillful.

The bed crossbow and the ballista were quickly ready to be fired, Guo Jintao gave an order, the bed crossbow was fired first, and the thick crossbow arrows shot out and plunged into the bushes.

Then the ballista began to fire, and the clay pot with the ignited fuse flew out in an arc, and exploded over the island.

"Boom, boom,"

The continuous explosion sounded and shook everyone's heart.

Once the bed crossbow is loaded, continue firing. The ballista was replaced*, and the guards lit the strip of cloth at the seal of the clay pot and fired it immediately.

The clay pot hit the island and shattered. Flames flew everywhere and soon caused a fire.

Three more rounds of ballista fires were fired, and the fire raged, soon spreading to the small half of the island. The bushes were blazing and the smoke was rising, and the scene was spectacular.

All three of them were stunned, looking at each other, all at a loss.

Cui Daoshu smiled and asked, "Three, how powerful are our weapons?" What army can withstand the onslaught of our ships now? ”

The three of them shook their heads like rattles, and they were all completely convinced.

Cui Daoshu ordered to return, and Guo Jintao commanded the warship to turn and soon returned to the dock.

The three of them got off the boat in despair and followed Cui Daoshu to the camp.

Cui Daoshu took the three of them to the hotel and entertained them for lunch.

The three of them absentmindedly ate the food carefully cooked by the chef, but felt like chewing wax.

After finally finishing eating, the three of them wanted to go back and rest so that they could digest what they had seen in the morning.

Cui Daoshu sent the three of them back to the small building and left.

The three of them went up to the second floor and gathered in a room, all in a daze.

After a long time, Liang Daguan said: "I am convinced, and I will decide to do it with them in the future, and I will definitely not be disheartened!" ”

Cao Deshun let out a long sigh: "These people are terrible! People can't afford to have any thoughts of resistance. Like you, I'm sure I'll work with them to the end. ”

Wang Mingjun also nodded in agreement, and everyone reached a consensus.

Cao Deshun continued: "I talked to Cui Daoshu, and we both thought that the Great Song Dynasty would dominate the world. So Cui Daoshu persuaded me to divide some of my family and send them here. At the time, I didn't think so, thinking that Cui Daoshu wanted to get a few hostages here. Now it seems that I definitely have a wrong idea. With their current strength, they can definitely dominate this sea. So it's absolutely safe to send your family here. I will send the eldest son when I go back, if that kid is angry and can make friends with their brothers, my Cao family's retreat will not have to worry. ”

Wang Mingjun and Liang Daguan all echoed the voice, and they were also ready to send a few of their family members over.

The three of them talked for a while, and then went back to rest.

In the evening, Cui Daoshu came, and after the three of them got up, he invited them to a place.

The three of them got dressed and walked out with Cui Daoshu to the west of the camp.
