Chapter 290: Li Yu's Worries

Gao Yanei asked, "Do you want to send all the direct members of the Cao family there, and then settle there?" ”

Cao Deshun said: "Yes, that's what I think. Yanai, if you have a chance, you can follow me there to have a look. I promise you won't want to come back once you've been there. My eldest son, Cao Yongxian, didn't know much about it when he didn't go there at first, and his resistance was very strong.

But now, after a few months there, he didn't want to come back at all. He also wanted to build a academy there, and these days I have been recruiting scholars from poor families, and after preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will take them away and go to the academy there to study and study knowledge. ”

Gao Yanai was very interested, he was only in his twenties this year, and he was very curious about interesting things. He used to know Cao Yongxian, and now he doesn't even want this nerd to come back, which shows that there must be a great attraction there.

He hurriedly asked, "Is there really a lot of fun stuff out there?" ”

Cao Deshun continued to tempt him: "The scenery there is beautiful, it can be said to be a paradise. And there are so many fun things that I don't want to come back after I let you go. ”

Gao Yanei asked again: "Shopkeeper Cao, when are you leaving, I'll go with you?" ”

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will set off with Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu to transport displaced people and supplies, and go there by boat."

Gao Yanei immediately said: "When I go home to report to my father, I will go with you." ”

"Can Ling Zun agree?"

"My father has long wanted to find a way out for our Gao family, and now that the situation is difficult, if I tell him that going out is to find a place for the family to settle down, he will definitely not object."

Gao Yanei smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Cao, since we have met frankly, should you tell me, what happened to Zhe?" ”

Cao Deshun nodded: "That Zhe is injured, but he is almost healed." He is now pretending to be seriously injured, just to put pressure on the Pucheng Zhang clan.

His Majesty is looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and he is counting on that to be brilliant. When Na Zhe entered the palace a few days ago, he had already boasted that he would come up with a wonderful song and lyrics, which would be sung by Qi Jiuniang, the first singer in Jinling.

Therefore, His Majesty was very much looking forward to the lyrics of this song, and was very angry at the attack on Na Zhe by the Pucheng Zhang clan. Na Zhe is now blackmailing the Pucheng Zhang clan and wants to extort a large amount of money from them. ”

Gao Yanei laughed: "That gentleman's character is very temperamental to me!" He is right to do this, and he must not let go of the Pucheng Zhang family. As soon as I saw Zhang Yuanheng's bastard, I got angry, he didn't have any bullshit skills, he was always flying all day long, he should be cleaned up fiercely, hahaha! ”

Cao Deshun continued: "You know all about last night, right? ”

Gao Yanei said happily: "Of course I know, now everyone in Jinling City is talking about it, Zhang Renjian was so scared that he was so scared that he went crazy when he came back." Shopkeeper Cao, is this true? ”

"It's true that the and urine are flowing together, and he was frightened by Cui Daoshu's guards in Qingliang Temple. But I don't know if he's crazy or not, who knows if he's really crazy, or if he's pretending to win everyone's sympathy. ”

Gao Yanei was very interested: "Shopkeeper Cao, are their guards really powerful?" ”

"It's not very powerful, let me tell you, if their guards compete with opponents with equal numbers, they can be said to be invincible in the world!"

"Oh? Is it that exaggerated? ”

Cao Deshun said firmly: "I have seen with my own eyes that they have many secret techniques, one of which is to summon heavenly thunder. You have also heard that the Pucheng Zhang clan sent 500 soldiers to ambush Na Zhe, and was defeated by more than 60 people, and there were no casualties. More than a hundred soldiers of the Yaowu Army died, most of them were killed by lightning. ”

Gao Yanei was dumbfounded: "This is all true?" I thought the people out there were making it up. ”

Cao Deshun continued: "Let me tell you, just over a month ago, a group of pirates in Fujian gathered thousands of men and dozens of warships to attack their islands because they coveted their wealth.

These pirates landed on the island at night and tried to sneak up on them. But before the pirates could get close to the camp, they were spotted by the guards. Immediately, the guards summoned the thunder and fire and cleaned up all the pirates. ”

Gao Yanei's mouth opened wide, and after a while, he asked, "Does their brother have the power of ghosts and gods?" They have made so many valuable things, and they can also summon heavenly thunder and heavenly fire, are they immortals who came down from the heavenly realm? ”

Cao Deshun said solemnly: "There are also those poems that can be passed down through the ages, all of which are well-known masterpieces. I did have the same suspicions as you before, but after going there a few times, and having more contact with these brothers, I don't think they are immortals. ”

Gao Yanai hurriedly asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

"I found out that their seven brothers are all mortal fetuses, they will get drunk, they will get sick, they will be injured and bleed, and more importantly, several of them are ready to marry and have children, do you think the gods can do this?"

Gao Yanei shook his head like a rattle: "No, what you said makes a lot of sense." But where did they learn these skills? ”

Cao Deshun said: "As far as I know, they have seven brothers, Cui Daoshu is a native of Mingzhou, and An Dalang is a military man who fled from the north. The other five people are said to have traveled thousands of miles to the West to Mingzhou. They met Cui Daoshu in Mingzhou and became brothers with different surnames.

All five of them have unique skills, and each has their own unique skills. They told Cui Dao that An Dalang occupied an island and soon created an enviable foundation. I've been there twice, and it's definitely a paradise, and the homeless people are well taken care of, and everyone is well fed and clothed. As long as they work hard, they will also get a lot of wages.

Yanei, you can tell Ling Zun that if your Gao family cooperates with Seven Seas Company, you will definitely not regret it. Their brothers are all good men, as long as your Gao family expresses a certain amount of kindness, their brothers will definitely treat your Gao family well. ”

Gao Yanai asked curiously, "Seven Seas Company?" What is this? ”

Cao Deshun explained: "The company means shop, and the word was passed down from the West by their brothers. Seven Seas is their ambition, and the brothers have made a big wish to cross the Seven Seas in the future, so their shop is named 'Seven Seas Company'. ”

Gao Yanei asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, the sea is the sea, where are the seven seas?" ”

"Yanai, according to their brothers, the sea is very vast, and several of their brothers came here from the west, thousands of miles away, and it took a year and a half to take a sea boat, and the journey was more than 30,000 miles. Do you say there are no seven seas? ”

Gao Yanei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine what it was like to take a boat for a year and a half.

Cao Deshun continued: "Yanei, after you go home, you must discuss with Ling Zun as soon as possible whether you want to cooperate with Seven Seas Company. You're going to have to give me an answer tomorrow, or I'll act like nothing happened. Think about it. ”

Gao Yanei nodded: "Shopkeeper Cao, I will definitely reply to you tomorrow, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, this son will definitely keep it a secret and will not tell anyone what we talked about today." ”

-------------------- -------------------------- ------------------

In the Southern Tang Palace, in Li Yu's study, Zan Xin stood respectfully and reported to Li Yu that Zhang Renjian was extremely miserable by Cui Daoshu's guards.

Li Yu listened to the whole thing, his brows tightened, he thought for a moment, and said:

"General Zan, have your soldiers seen with your own eyes that Cui Daoshu's guards can summon heavenly thunder?"

Zan Xin said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen soldiers who have been following behind the mighty general's convoy. They have seen with their own eyes that several of Cui Daoshu's guards can indeed summon heavenly thunder at any time.

After these soldiers came back, they all said that Cui Daoshu's guards were merciful, just to scare and scare the mighty general. Otherwise, with the power of the heavenly thunder, none of the mighty generals and their guards would survive. ”

Li Yu said to himself, "They actually have a mage, this is indeed a big trouble. No wonder the 500 soldiers of the Yaowu Army couldn't help them. ”

Zan Xin continued: "Your Majesty, the minister asked several officials and servants of Jinling Mansion, and they all confirmed that when they ambushed Na Zhe a few days ago, more than a hundred people died in the Yaowu army.

These people did not have sword wounds on their bodies, and most of them were killed by the thunderbolts. Quite a few people were scorched. There are also some people who die of rotting in their intestines, and others whose bodies are crushed, leaving only stumps and broken arms. ”

Li Yu said with a solemn face: "General Zan, you have to tell Song Peng that you must send someone to monitor Cui Daoshu and Na Zhe's every move day and night. And their guards, you can't let them go, you must keep an eye on them. ”

Zan Xin agreed, and then continued: "Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the minister, Na Zhe's injury is not so serious, he must be pretending to be seriously injured, and then the lion opened his mouth and blackmailed the Pucheng Zhang clan to his heart's content. ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "It's normal for Zhe to blackmail the Zhang family, after anyone is ambushed, they will be very angry, and they will definitely ask for compensation." ”

Zan Xin said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, according to the detailed report hidden in the Zhang family, Cui Daoshu asked the Pucheng Zhang family for 500,000 yuan in compensation. The Pucheng Zhang clan has been discussing behind closed doors, and has not made a decision until now. ”

Li Yu was surprised, "500,000 yuan? How dare they ask for it! ”

Zan Xin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Pucheng Zhang clan is wealthy, and 500,000 yuan will not hurt their muscles and bones. As long as the Pucheng Zhang clan wants to appease Na Zhe, he will definitely agree to Na Zhe's conditions. Xiao Chen estimated that the Zhang clan would soon send someone to Qingliang Temple again to give in to Cui Dao. ”
