Chapter 12 Ten Thousand Taels of Silver

And today, the leader at the helm of the Black Tiger is already his grandson Xiao Tianxiong, who has also inherited Xiao Zhiyuan's advantages, just like the head wolf of the wolf pack, ruthless and resourceful. Giving his subordinates majestic and generous treatment, respecting the officers and soldiers of the naval division, and obeying the words of the city boss, in this troubled world, this way of doing things can be regarded as a unique way of survival.

And the other two peaks, it is not that the Xiao family lacks soldiers and ships and does not have so much strength, but they took the initiative to let it out, as a gathering place for pirates, there are no real pirates to cover up and attract attacks, how to ensure the stability of the main peak Black Tiger Banner? Therefore, for so many years, whether it is the state capital or the city division, no matter how the officials are replaced, trying to crack down on or win over Sanshan Island, the Black Tiger Flag has been hanging steadily on the main peak.

In this way, the total number of pirates under the Black Tiger has always been controlled, and it will not really burn and loot without control, and the impact on the local area is not too large, and even with the surrounding fishing villages, trading houses, docks, etc.

The old patriarch of the Meng family instructed on his deathbed not to come to seek revenge easily, that is, the disparity in strength is too great, and coming here is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the Meng family's fishing village is about to destroy the village and destroy the clan. In a hurry, he casually said that the weapon that spewed out the fire dragon was not that he could pinch and calculate, but he thought that the fire dragon could burn the black tiger, but in fact, the original intention was to save the lives of the children in the village.

Mencius was dying of old age, but the resentment in his heart never went away, and he killed Sanshan Island and burned the Black Tiger Banner, which gave him a tenacious will. Otherwise, the arrow poison that penetrates deep into the brain, the painful torture that occurs once a day in the morning and evening, would have been cut off from the sea of suffering long ago.

Meng Wenshan took out two keys from the tightly wrapped fish skin pouch, opened the secret doors on the left and right sides, and took out four dusty camphor wood boxes.

"I've been dead lately, and Meng Lu has some prestige in the West Courtyard, is the patriarch waiting to call Meng Lu to open the ......" The old man in the West Courtyard of the fishing village asked, although he didn't say it directly, but the meaning he wanted to express was very clear.

These four boxes of silver were accumulated by the ancestors of the Meng family, in order to let the descendants of the Meng family have an urgent need in the event of natural and man-made disasters, so that the inheritance of incense will not be cut off because of the silver money.

Meng Wenshan also understood in his mind that these four boxes of silver belonged to all the children of the Meng family in the whole fishing village, and three of the four elders were from the East Courtyard, so how to dispose of it was not up to him! It is true that this elder is not in good health, and it is true that Meng Lu will come to witness that it is fake to open the silver box, and it is the purpose to fight for the interests of real money for the disciples of the West Courtyard.

"Yes, then it's better to move to the front of the martial arts arena tomorrow, gather all the Meng family members, and open the silver box together!"

Mencius is strict and old, although he is old and unbearable, he understands what is going on, why bother to divide the west and east courtyards, and immediately made the decision to open the box together with all the children.

"By the way, Wenshan, I'm going to invite that Zhao sect leader to the ancestral hall in a while, and I want to talk to him alone."

Meng Wenshan looked at the silver box, and then at the slightly tired Mencius Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, second uncle, don't worry, I will send someone to invite you later, and by the way, I will send some wine and rice to the ancestral hall." ”

And Zhao Tianyou plunged into the gunpowder workshop, talked with Liu Jinli and Zhou Yuan for a long time, and was not invited into the front hall of the ancestral hall until evening. A small square wooden table, on which are placed four cold and four hot plus a pot of wine, an empty wooden chair, and on the other sits the white-haired and one-eyed Mencius Yan.

Although no one introduced him, Zhao Tianyou also knew that this was the white-bearded ancestor that Meng Shuirou said, the elder with the highest rank in the Meng family's fishing village.

Zhao Tianyou bowed his hand to Mencius, sat down on the chair and said, "Old man, are you just looking for me to drink?" ”

"Haha, little brother, I see you pleasing to the eye! Let's have two drinks first! ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhao Tianyou put down his wine glass and looked directly at the one-eyed old man opposite with a smile.

"Old man, I'll be drunk if I drink again! If you have something to say, just say it, I know everything. ”

"Little brother, it's so refreshing! There is only one problem with the decay, how long will it take for the fire dragon you let them build to erupt dozens of feet away? Mencius Yan's one-eyed eyes shone brightly, looking at Zhao Tianyou's heart full of expectations, hoping to have a satisfactory answer, a future that he could wait to see.

Zhao Tianyou didn't answer immediately, he looked at the old man's one-eyed very curiously, spraying dozens of zhang away just as soon as he said that, it would be good to be able to spray ten zhang away with the strength of the bamboo tube, and it could hit a hundred meters away, which was the killing distance of the primary iron cannon.

"Old man, the bamboo tube fire dragon that was experimented in the afternoon is not yet successful, and with the current conditions, it is difficult to reach a distance of ten zhang. If you really want to reach a range of dozens of zhang away, it will take a lot of time and a lot of silver, old man, what is the meaning of this question? ”

After listening to Zhao Tianyou's answer, Mencius Yan's shining eyes suddenly lost a bit of brilliance, and he asked a little unwillingly: "If there are ten thousand taels of silver as a backing, can it be faster?" Is it possible in a year or two? ”

"Old man, can you tell me what to do? The dragon may not work, but there may be some other way to solve the problem. ”

Meng Ziyan was disappointed in his heart, and shook his head with gloomy eyes: "No fire dragon that can breathe fire, only the fire dragon can suppress the black tiger, and only the fire dragon can burn the black tiger flagship......"

"Old man, do you want to fight, what the hell is the Black Tiger flagship?" Zhao Tianyou had heard of Sanshan Island and knew that there were pirates entrenched there, but it was the first time that the Black Tiger Banner had heard of it.

"I see hope in you, O stranger, though I am not satisfied with your answer. But your resolute and calm eyes tell me that the range of the fire dragon is not difficult for you, as long as you are given enough conditions, you will definitely be able to complete it. I'd love to know, have you ever seen a fire dragon that can spray far away? ”

Zhao Tianyou smiled and said, "Old man, I really haven't seen a fire dragon that sprays so far, but I believe it can be made." It's not today or tomorrow, when the conditions are met, not to mention dozens of zhang away, even hundreds of zhang is not a problem. I understand what you mean, the Meng family fishing village has a grudge against the pirates of Sanshan Island, and wants to kill Sanshan Island and burn the Black Tiger Flag in your lifetime, right? ”

"Yes, as long as I can see that day with my own eyes, I will go to hell, and I can boil me in the oil pot for a hundred years." Mencius Yan gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, and he flickered in the light.

"Zhao Jiaotou, you help me, help the Meng family fishing village, this revenge is not ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, I will not be blind to death. As long as you speak, there are thousands of people in the Mengjia fishing village, and two hundred young and strong knots will listen to your orders! ”

After Mencius Yan finished speaking, the old tears were rampant, and his shoulders twitched and choked, making the whole person even more emaciated and weak.

Zhao Tianyou was in a dilemma, and was considering whether to agree to the old man's request, when a rush of footsteps came from far and near.

"God bless Big Brother, God God bless Big Brother!"
