Chapter 262: The Rain Keeps Falling
"I knew there were so many things to do here, and they were all of this kind of thing, so keeping him here would be much more useful than me. I'm okay with paperwork or anything, but I don't have anything to do with accounts or anything like that. Finally persuaded Ye Tao to throw down his work and drink with him in the wind and enjoy the night of the island, Feng Wei still couldn't help but sigh. If Chen Kai, who is proficient in business and accounting, is retained, it is estimated that many things have already been done. Or, Liu Qing, who stayed in Yunzhou, should have been brought here with him.
Ye Tao smiled and explained: "Chen Kai's identity is a little special after all. I'm afraid everyone will have ideas. It would be better to send Chen Kai back to Yunzhou as soon as possible, so that he can begin to familiarize himself with the affairs of the three civil affairs departments. It's been a hard time for you these days. ”
Feng Wei shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm really afraid of hard work. I also know that after working so hard for a while, it will be much easier for the next few years. It's just that the rules of the Seven Seas Trading Company are complete, but they are too cumbersome. ”
Ye Tao sighed: "Yes, it is necessary to be complete, but also not to let the organization be bloated and slow down the reaction speed, I am more and more unsure about the operation of this trading company." ”
Feng Hao nodded and said, "My lord...... Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it at this time, but I really have something to ask of you. ”
"Oh?" Feng Hao, a subordinate, rarely asks for anything. He is a young master in the big family, his father and grandfather are very talented guys, and he is not greedy for the official and the money, even if the money that Ye Tao gave him is so considerable. And Ye Tao never asked Feng Wei what he wanted, perhaps because Ye Tao had always regarded Feng Hao as his friend rather than a subordinate. If you ask, it smells of bribery.
"My lord, you suggest that Chen Kai revive the Chen family, this is a pleasant thing to hear. Until then. It's me, I'm going to start a family first. I don't usually carry the surname Qu, and my father didn't say anything. But now that he has not yet married a family, he has no wife and children, and his life is becoming more and more difficult. In the past, I didn't meet a woman who could make me fall in love, so that's fine. But now, it's finally met. I pondered. Hurry up and get married and have children, it's best to have two more children, while handing it over to my father to practice and then going to the marquis to worship the prime minister, and on the other hand, handing it over to my grandfather to teach a generation of famous doctors, I, but I can really be idle......"
"You...... Who do you like? Do you want me to propose marriage for you? Ye Tao was confused.
“…… It's your Ye family's chief bookkeeper, Miss Weizhi. Feng Hao tilted his head sideways, with a gentle expression. Weizhi herself has no opinion. It's quite a good match for me. However, Weizhi said that it was the adults who took in their twelve dancing girls and cultivated them step by step, and not only did they not become men's playthings. On the contrary, they have become people who admire, admire, and worship, and each of them has their own abilities. Although the adults ruined their deeds of sale back then, it could not change their regard as the lord and the parent, or. At least for the sake of father and brother. And if you want to ask to marry Weizhi, you naturally want the consent of adults. ”
Ye Tao was unaware of the love story that happened next to him. He looked at Feng Hao with wide eyes and said, "Sure enough...... If you don't make a move, it's just that, and when you do, you're the most beautiful of the twelve. Don't worry, since you are in love, do you still have to worry that I won't agree? After we return to Yunzhou, we will immediately make a big deal for you. It's just that...... Vidge is alien after all. We can have no lumps in our hearts, but what will your family say? What do your parents, your out-of-town say? In the future, if Weizhi is not treated by them, how will she get along with them? Since...... The dancing girl back then, except for Weizhi, only two of them are still single. Those who are married. The man's family background is just average. Since they regard me as a parent and a father and brother, I have my back. Naturally, it's nothing. But what about your home? ”
Feng Hao's face floated with the usual cynical and unobtrusive smile, and that smile was mixed with a little resoluteness, and he said: "I am determined to enter the door." Turn around and hand over your grandson, what can they do to me? ”
Ye Tao said very uncomfortably: "Okay, it's really hard to be your boss." No matter what your family thinks, I got married for you, and you will start to look at me unpleasantly again. There's a lot to block for you right now. ”
Feng Hao raised the corner of his eyes and asked, "How?" Don't dare? ”
This kind of lowest-level radical general, Ye Tao has long been immune. "It doesn't matter. However, I believe that Qu Yushi's vision is not so narrow, and as for Mr. Feng, he won't do anything about this kind of thing, right? Ye Tao said indifferently.
However, just when they were ready to continue the conversation. The raindrops began to fall, and soon turned from a little rain to a pouring rain, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and after a while, the raindrops looked like they were floating horizontally.
The fierce wind and dripping rain made the island look a little embarrassed at night. The sailors in the harbor began to bundle up their debris when the wind rose, ready to deal with the wind and rain, and there was still some finishing work to be done; Scattered all over the island, the houses are busy closing the windows and checking for leaks to make emergency repairs; Many of the crew and guards carried bags of food and other daily necessities in different houses, after all, they could not always run to the ship to get them, especially for those high-ranking deacons to prepare what they needed; And in this kind of weather, the guards had to stand guard in a place where they could shelter from the wind and rain, although they tried to keep their eyes open one by one, and carefully caught any abnormality from the chaotic sounds, but the rain blurred their vision, and the sound of wind and rain made everyone's hearing less reliable.
And at this time, near the main island of Jiaoyayu, a group of people quietly moved. For Seven Seas Trading Company and Ye Tao, this sudden storm is a great trouble, but for this group, it is a rare and fleeting opportunity.
The time for Seven Seas Trading Company to take Jiaoyayu is really too short, and they don't know enough about Jiaoyayu, and they haven't even skidled out a very special place in Jiaoyayu from the mouth of the Black Eagle Gang. Not far from the main island, about three or four hundred feet, there was a small island protruding from the water. According to the plan of the Seven Seas Trading Company, they are going to build a watchtower and lighthouse on the top of this small island, but they don't know that this place, which seems to have no buildings on it and no traces, has been neglected, and there is a little secret.
This islet is hollow. The whole island is like a bowl on the water, with rock crusts of different thicknesses on the outside, but there is a lot of space in the middle. There are two pathways between this space and the outside world, one that allows only one person to enter and exit. This passage is naturally extremely well disguised, and the average Black Eagle gang member does not know about it. The other passage is now underwater. Only when there are rare astronomical low tides can this now underwater passage be paddled in and out. And this kind of opportunity can only appear once in three or five years. Because of this very special place, this small island has become a place for the Black Hawks to hoard treasures and secrets. And when the Seven Seas Trading Company attacked Jiaoyayu, there were so many people hiding in the cave. And just the other day, this number increased to forty-four. Taking a great risk, the Black Hawks sent a team of water ghosts back to the cave to bring the exciting news to the already desperate ones: the Black Hawks would launch a counterattack.
How did the Black Hawks manage to get here by evading the Nanami Trading Company's blockade? That's why the Black Hawks came up with something absolutely top secret. No one would have thought that the Black Hawk Gang, a very frustrated gang that has been suppressed and almost wiped out in recent years, would have a boat capable of diving.
This rudimentary submarine has no attack power at all, the depth is not deep, and the endurance is very, very poor. This kind of submarine can carry a crew of 12 people, and these 12 people, even the most experienced seamen, will collapse after shaking the crank to push the submarine for two hours, and in these two hours, they even have to surface more than once for ventilation. But it was with four of these submarines and their incomparable familiarity with the waters around Jiaoyayu that the Black Hawks did it. Four strange-looking submarines, carrying men and weapons, safely entered the middle of the hollow island. And the task of these people is to wait for the opportunity to kill the main island and meet the attack of the Black Hawk Gang's fleet.
It was originally planned to launch an attack in the middle of the night today, but this sudden wind and rain made this arrangement fall through. The ships that the Seven Seas Trading Company was cruising outside entered the harbor one by one to avoid the storm, but the fleet of the Black Hawk Gang, which was not far away, did not have such treatment. According to the traditions and styles of the Black Hawk Gang, they will inevitably kill the island in advance, and it is just as dangerous to hang on the sea anyway, so it is better to fight. And these people hiding in the hollow island, although they don't know when their own fleet will arrive, it is time for them to start moving.
Forty-four water spirits touched a rope that had been soaked under the water for many years, swam out of the cave with weapons on their backs, and quietly touched the main island. No one noticed them. In normal times, the beach would be patrolled by the sailors of the Nanami Trading Company or the guards of the deacons, and even if there was even the slightest anomaly, some unusual footprints, the whole island would be searched immediately. What Nanami Trading Company knows enough now may be this main island. However, in the midst of the storm, the patrol on this beach is useless. The water spirits made it to the island with ease, washed across the beach and into the dense forest. Their footprints were quickly washed away by the rain.
The person who led these water ghosts was the sixth veteran pirate "Shark Eyes" of the Black Hawk Gang's first underwater kung fu. He watched everyone enter the woods and breathed a sigh of relief. He put his hand on his forehead and looked at the sky again. He wished that the rain would continue to fall. At least for today.
