Chapter 385 Solicitation

With such a relationship, taking into account the attitude of Old Man Qi, Ye Tao didn't say anything, vacated a carriage to arrange for the two children, and threw away most of the messy things in the twenty carriages they originally carried, leaving only a few commemorative things, and those valuable and worthless goods were basically all thrown away. Cheng Zijin, who is well-known in calligraphy and painting, brought a full set of painting tools with him, many of which are still color ink products produced by Ye's workshop. This kind of arrogance naturally caused Cheng Zijin's angry reaction, but since Ye Tao agreed to bring them, he naturally didn't dare to say anything.

From this time on, they continued to set off, and spent a total of six days walking through the war zone in Yinan and arriving at the port of Yanan. Because there are more than 500 people on both sides put together, it can be regarded as a relatively large team, coupled with the strong reconnaissance ability of the special battalion, along the way, they specially selected soft persimmons to fight, specially selected secluded roads to walk, and avoided those places where battles had occurred and were very likely to have battles, but there was no danger. Although their identities have not been revealed, those guys who eat Xiling's military rations have deeply realized that these tough warriors are definitely not in line with them. Whether it is armament, military orders, combat style, or even the tone of talking about the enemy, they are all too different. Especially those telescopes, Ye's Workshop strictly controls the outflow of Xiling, and Chunnan can't get much quantity, and most of them are sub-quality products, not to mention Xiling. Except for some high-ranking generals, most of Xiling's ordinary troops had only heard of such a thing as a telescope. Like the special battalion, the telescope is equipped with individuals, just because there is no team that all the staff carries in Xiling this time, and it may be the scout cavalry team under Chi Lei's men.

Due to the interruption of trade routes, Yanan was much more depressed than before, and the ships in the port were scarce. Most of the fleets and caravans active in the South Seas retreated to their home ports at this time, and there were only the liaison ships of the Great Chamber of Commerce. Seven Seas Trading Company did not leave any liaison ships here, because in the entire South Seas, the communication system of Seven Seas Trading Company and the Samir family has basically been connected, and when transporting MeMessage, everyone uses different passwords, which solves the problem, and it is cheaper to set up a coordination agency than to set up two transportation boat systems.

Wei Lian had already sent a letter to the Nanyang side, believing that the Seven Seas Trading Company's own fleet would arrive in a few days, and the Samir family also welcomed this group of important related customers of the Seven Seas Trading Company, although they did not bring any goods, and they were far from resuming the trade route from Beiyi to Yanan, but after all, they brought the news of Xianju Village. The Samir family has no one who knows Ye Tao in Yanan now, but it revealed a piece of news that Assad, who has had several contacts with Ye Tao, should be not far away.

Sure enough, a few days later, the mixed fleet of the Seven Seas Trading Company and the Samir family came to Yanan, Assad was the commander of the fleet, and the representative of the Seven Seas Trading Company was Qi Zhu, who was completely able to speak on behalf of the old man Qi. When they came this, those guys from Huishan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Zhu and Cheng Zijin had met each other, and the huge fleet could be summoned by this team of people who had never identified themselves to them, and seeing the appearance of Qi Zhu and Assad, the attitude towards that young man was completely the same as that of the superior, it was enough to make them breathe a sigh of relief. And Huishan Xingying also left a very good impression on these people who did not have common names.

The guys from Huishan Xingying were temporarily arranged by the Samir family and the Seven Seas Trading Company to settle down in Yanan, after all, it was impossible for them to mix with the people of the Seven Seas Trading Company, and Cheng Zijin and Cheng Ziqing's brothers and sisters got on the ship of the Seven Seas Trading Company with Ye Tao and sailed towards Yazhou. When he arrived on the boat, when Ye Tao, who had nothing to scruple about, finally revealed his identity to Cheng Zijin, the little guy grew his mouth in surprise, and he didn't know what to say at all. The current Ye Tao is not something that can be defined by a term like Dongping Heavy Minister, it is simply a living legend. And Ye Tao promised that he could guarantee the extermination of the Xuanyi Society, but when he hoped that he and his sister could go to Yunzhou with him, Cheng Zijin didn't know how to react.

"Why are you taking me to Yunzhou?" After thinking about it on the boat for a whole day, Cheng Zijin finally found Ye Tao and asked this question. "What can I do?"

"Don't you like ink and drawing? Can't you learn from me? Ye Tao replied with a smile: "Actually, I want to find a secretary who can study for a while and then follow me to make pictures." I can do a lot of writing work, but whether it's drawings or sketches, I can't do many things that I am satisfied with. Originally, this kind of work was entrusted to my wife Sophie, but after many years of drawing, Sophie is finally able to take charge of some design on her own. I'll have to find someone who can take some of her work. I haven't trusted you enough to entrust you with the management of your drawings and documents at home, but sketching does. What do you think? Is that a good reason? ”

Ye Tao's gentle attitude made Cheng Zijin feel like a spring breeze, but he was always a little hesitant. He studied painting in Xiling since he was a child, and only a few times when he went home to visit relatives did he have some intersections with the elders and uncles of the family, and the family originally hoped that he could get on the line with the Xiling nobles, and even used him as a bargaining chip for marriage to strengthen the Cheng family's control over the business route. To avenge the family, the component of responsibility is greater than the element of affection. Ye Tao can understand the coldness of this kind of big family struggling in an environment where all around him are aliens, and he can also understand Cheng Zijin's hesitation, and the plan he proposed does have a strong attraction to Cheng Zijin.

"How? Did Cheng Zijin agree? After finishing the conversation with Cheng Zijin, he returned to his cabin, but it was Tan Weixin who impatiently asked questions. In fact, it was Tan Weixin who proposed to bring the Cheng family brothers and sisters back to Yunzhou. Tan Weixin is not in a hurry to find a drawing assistant for Ye Tao, but she loves that little Lori Cheng Ziqing very much. Although little Lori is afraid of noise when she sleeps, she is very comfortable on the ship, running around on the deck of the Huya ship all day long, asking all kinds of questions to those sailors in a cute tone, everyone likes this beautiful child. And talking about Weixin, she also moved the idea of bringing the little girl back to Yunzhou. Their villa is already a large-scale, well-equipped kindergarten, and I think this little Lori will like that place too. Tan Weixin still has another thought, that is, to find a companion for Tan Weixin's children. The Cheng family has fallen no matter what, even if the Seven Seas Trading Company and the Samir family exterminate the Xuanyi Society, it is impossible for the Cheng family's original property to be returned to the Cheng family. Cheng Zijin's original idea, that is, to rely on the Seven Seas Trading Company and other old friends to help, they themselves were powerless. Huishan Xingying was able to speak on the ground in Xiling, but when he arrived in Nanyang, his eyes were black. Raise the Cheng family's little Lori as a child daughter-in-law, and Cheng Zijin follows Ye Tao, and she will definitely be able to find an identity after a few years, and it is a good situation for the two sides to make do.

He agreed. Anyway, the Xuanyi Club was originally a thorn in everyone's side. The Samir family is entangled in the war and can't get out, and now that the old man is also involved, it is difficult to restrain the Xuanyi Society from tossing openly and secretly for the time being. After several important battles have been won recently, some of the Xuanyi Society is good-looking. Abducting Cheng Zijin's brothers and sisters to Yunzhou is just a by-product. Ye Tao said.

"Didn't you say that the war has been complicated recently? Dispatch this fleet to send us to Yazhou, so don't you worry about it? Tan Weixin suddenly asked.

"This is an escort fleet, mainly to escort delivery ships and exterminate pirates. However, let Assad and Qi do this, obviously the situation here is not peaceful, and maybe we can catch up with a naval battle in the future. Ye Tao said lightly.

For the combined fleet of the Nanami Trading Company and the Samir family, they are really not afraid of the enemy's fleet. The two airships greatly expanded the fleet's field of vision, with the Divine Arm and Ballista at range, the Greek Fire Spitfire Device at close range, and at closer range, the hand crossbow was much more accurate and powerful than the opponent's bow and arrow. Even if they are forced into a gang fight, the crew members who are generally dressed in leather armor have an advantage over their opponents. Qi Zhu and Assad have always spread out their fleets in a large area of the sea, loosening the formation as much as possible, and sending airships to the limit of the combat radius as much as possible, just so as not to let go of the pirates who are raging throughout the South Seas.

"You are really a crow's mouth, you see, Assad's flagship has raised the battle flag." Looking out the window, Tan Weixin said with a smile.

"Oh?" Ye Tao hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, this was the case. The flag indicates that pirates are attacking a merchant fleet to the southeast of the fleet, and the fleet will turn to help. The Huya ship they were riding on also sounded the alarm bell, and Ye Tao excitedly put on his leather armor, picked up the cavalry sword, hung up the crossbow, and rushed towards the bridge. The Huya ship they were riding on was an out-and-out combat model, and Ye Tao, although he was not a long-tested naval general, was a good long-range shooting commander. And Ye Tao was so active, the captain of this battleship, Qi Zhu, also handed over the work of shooting command to Ye Tao with dignity.

Qi Cha fought a naval battle quite hot, and he was also very confident in self-preservation in a chaotic war. Without hesitation, he rushed to the front of the queue, raised the firing command flag, and demanded that the ship be responsible for assigning targets. After roughly asking about the equipment of each ship, glancing at the positions of the two sides marked on the large table in the middle of the bridge, and asking about the route of Qi Zhu's preparation for the attack and the characteristics of the enemy's ships, Ye Tao already knew the way of fighting. He clearly assigned the goal, first knocking out the three warships of the pirate fleet on the south side of the sea, and Ye Tao ordered the most fiery ballista to settle the battle. When Ye Tao's order was issued, all ships hoisted red pennants one after another...... Usually, this is a sign that they are in high spirits.
