What to do!

Zhu Yifeng, who was on the dock, seemed to be talking and laughing with Zhao Lishan, talking about some new things about Shanghai, but his heart had already been mentioned in his throat.

Musketeers!

If you pay attention, you can see that hundreds of the hundreds of Taiping troops on the dock are armed with muskets, and those muskets are not traditional bird guns, but muskets sold to them by themselves, perhaps, in the corner of this vicinity, there is still a hidden artillery, and even the artillery will have been aimed at the "Express......

You skull......

Knowing that this group of people is just a group of bandits, I actually believe that they will talk about any reputation, this is millions of taels of silver, others don't say it, even those seemingly reliable sailors are not necessarily trustworthy, let alone these people?

But, what now?

Obviously, now is not the time to regret it, no matter how much regret does not make up for the mistake in front of you, the most important thing now is how to escape from this group of bandits who are trying to kill people and seize goods.

"In extraordinary times, it is more important to save your life."

Although this voice in his heart constantly reminded him, the saying "birds die for food, people die for money" is controlling his will, so that he can't make a decision immediately.

After all, that's more than three million taels of real money!

No, it should be said that it is 1.5 million taels, and there are still 1.5 million taels to wait for two days!

What to do?

Will the other party give himself time to get the money? But they are trying to use the silver as bait to keep themselves here?

But why did they leave themselves here? Why not take advantage of the fact that they have already got the guns they need anyway!

Looking at the silver that was constantly being sent on the ship, suddenly, Zhu Yifeng understood that they were still thinking about the "Pacific", yes, they must still be thinking about the 20,000 guns on the Pacific!

This group of bandits...... This is the rhythm of what they want to do!

Secretly scolding in his heart, Zhu Yifeng's brain spun quickly.

Life must be protected, and of course the silver must be taken!

But how can you save your own life and take the silver away safely.

When Zhu Yifeng was thinking about how to save his life and take away the silver, Zhao Lishan was also looking at the boat in the river, this ship is really too big, and the sand boat in the river is simply a sampan compared to it.

When leaving the Dongwang Mansion, after discovering the hidden artillery team near the dock, Zhao Lishan guessed the meaning of the East, what kind of silver in the holy treasury needs to be transferred from Hanyang, and what needs the approval of the Heavenly King, but it is just an excuse, it is an excuse to keep this person and Hankou, if the silver is given to him, maybe as soon as the silver is loaded on his side, the people over there will run away, and he will not run tightly, and he will take away millions of taels of silver.

Leave him behind!

Only by leaving him can the silver be kept, of course, more importantly, there is a ship coming to Wuchang, the ship is loaded with more than 20,000 foreign guns, as soon as that boat arrives, the Taiping army with 40,000 or 50,000 foreign guns will be able to sweep the world? Of course, it can sweep the world now, but with the help of foreign guns, it will undoubtedly be more stable.

The foreign gun is in hand, this foreign ship ...... How do you get this foreign ship......

Zhao Lishan thought like this in his heart, suddenly, the person next to him made his eyes light up, yes, capture the thief and capture the king first, when the time comes, take this guy down first, won't this foreign ship be in hand!

Zhao Lishan said to Zhu Mingzong,

"Brother Zhu, you won't leave in two days anyway, if not, there is a Shaanxi guild hall near this wharf, why don't you rest there for the time being, so that I can wash the dust of my brother, I don't know what my brother wants?"

Wash the dust!

What are you kidding, you are washing the dust here, you obviously want to leave Lao Tzu here, no!

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yifeng hurriedly said.

"That's going to bother the dude, but ......"

After a pause, Zhu Yifeng deliberately lowered his voice and said,

"Brother is so polite, the little brother has no other gifts to give, it just so happens that there are a few bottles of foreign wine hidden on this boat, why don't you wait for the little brother to get it on the boat, then you and my brother will have two more glasses, I don't know what the brother thinks?"

"This ......"

Did he find out?

Just when Zhao Lishan was puzzled, Zhu Yifeng had already called someone, and the person who shouted was a coolie on the dock.

"Who's that...... Yes, it's just calling you, come here......"

Xue Hailong, who had just moved the silver box, listened to the shouts over there, and saw the strangely dressed person pointing at him, so he hurriedly ran over.

"Hey, you go aboard and tell Captain Alfred to ...... the bottles of French champagne on board."

The so-called Captain Alfred, which was actually Shen Ming's French name, only said half of it, as if he remembered something, he patted his head and said.

"Look at me, Alfred doesn't understand what we're talking about, I'll write a note, get on the boat, you give it to Captain Alfred, understand......"

Saying this, Zhu Yifeng casually took out a slap notebook from his pocket, and wrote a string of English with a pencil, and when he wrote this sentence in English, he secretly thought in his heart.

"I hope the sailors on the ship are literate and can speak English......

Although the paper is like a ghost-drawn foreign text, Zhao Lishan did not have any suspicions, in his opinion, the arrangement of the East King can be said to be flawless, more than three million taels of silver, not to say that it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, that is, it is replaced by the imperial court...... No, if it is replaced by a clear demon, it will not be able to take it out for a while, and now the king of the east took out two million silver to him at once, as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and there are almost 1.5 million taels of silver left to hook him, how can he escape, or run away willingly.

What's more, how could he have guessed that the East King would attack him!

From beginning to end, the king of the east can be said to have done enough tricks, not to say that the surname is zhu, that is, as the henchman of the king of the east, he did not see the plan of the king of the east at the beginning.

How can the silver of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom be so easy to take!

With such a sneer in his heart, Zhao Lishan's face was still full of enthusiasm, at this time, he just didn't hold Zhu Yifeng, and the two walked side by side towards the Shaanxi Hall at the dock.

Since ancient times, the Han River has been the main road to Shaanxi, and because of this, Shaanxi merchants built a guild hall at this wharf, but compared with the past, this guild hall is extremely deserted - most of the merchants in the guild hall have fled, and most of the people who have not escaped have been "pulled into ding", only a few cooks in the guild hall remain here, and occasionally some Taiping officers will have a banquet here, which naturally has become a place for Zhao Lishan to receive Zhu Yifeng.

"Brother Zhu, you are a person who has seen the world, Hankou is also a small place, there is no specialty, these Shaanxi dishes are still in harmony, brother, don't be surprised......

People just entered the Shaanxi hall, Zhu Yifeng listened to Zhao Lishan politely, when he entered the Shaanxi hall, he deliberately looked at it, this antique hall can also talk about a little grandiose, the beam and pillar set carved and carved algae painting work, but it is comparable to the hall where the king of the East lives, it is estimated that the reason why it has not been requisitioned by the princes is that it is located outside the city has a lot to do with it.

"I don't know if you received a letter on board? If you don't receive the letter......"

Because he was thoughtful, Zhu Yifeng just glanced at it, and his mind was still used elsewhere.

"Or pour him down in a moment, and take advantage of his drunkenness, leave this hellish place, and return to the ship, which is less than a mile from the dock, and have a chance to ......"

On second thought, if he left so suddenly, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the others, and if it was self-defeating, this little life might really be lost here.

Let's just pretend to be and see what he wants to sing first.

At least for now, they still have plans for themselves, at least after the arrival of the "Pacific", it is estimated that they will not kill themselves! I'm safe right now!

"Your Excellency, Sir, please ...... with tea."

Just as his eyes wandered around, a somewhat hoarse voice with a strong Shaanxi accent came into his ears, and he looked at the sound, only to see a young man in a gray cotton jacket carrying a teapot and pouring tea, this young man's face was dark, and his face was full of red pimples, except for the Shaanxi dialect, which did not attract Zhu Yifeng's attention.

"Brother Zhu, please use tea, you have to taste this Shaanxi dish in a while, not to mention anything else, the taste of mutton bubble film is really good......"

Zhao Lishan's words made Zhu Yifeng just laugh, polite in his mouth, but muttered in his heart.

"Did they understand the letter?"
