Kill him!
Just in an instant, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Yifeng made this decision decisively in his heart, killing people is very simple, as long as the trigger is pulled, the person dies and throws it into the Yangtze River! In this chaos, who cares about a corpse and a life!
Similarly, in order to survive, Zhu Yifeng didn't care about taking a life.
But...... Does this solve the problem?
Zhu Yifeng remembered another thing, this ship is an American ship! When they returned to Shanghai, they hid in the concession, and with the mentality that those local officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty had more than one thing and one thing less, how could they dare to go to the concession to take people? Moreover, there are dozens of crew members on this ship, so you can't kill them all yourself!
But the person in front of you ...... His eyes narrowed into slits, and Zhu Yifeng had made up his mind in his heart.
"Hurry up, please ......"
With a slight plan in his heart, Zhu Yifeng hurriedly walked forward, and said while helping Li Ziyuan.
"I never thought that Brother Li was actually a scholar, and the younger brother was also a scholar!"
In Li Ziyuan's confusion, Zhu Yifeng asked him to sit down, and said very closely.
"Since Brother Li will be saved by the younger brother due to fate, I see this as if I send the Buddha to the west, if you stay on the Jiujiang River, the younger brother will send someone to send you ashore, and send some entanglements, it is also considered that you and my brother have met once, I don't know how Brother Li thinks it will ......"
Zhu Yifeng had an extremely sincere smile on his face, but he was sneering in his heart, as long as this person revealed a word, even if it was a hint of joy, he would sink him directly into the Yangtze River!
It's no wonder that Zhu Yifeng is ruthless, these years, he has to save his life first.
"Ah......h
looked at the owner in astonishment, if he said that he was not moved, he was lying to himself, and when Li Ziyuan was about to speak, he got up and knelt down suddenly.
"The owner, the villain's life is what you want, I am a member of the owner all my life, and please don't drive the villain away......"
Is this faithfulness?
Of course not!
The reason why Li Ziyuan said this was more of fear, he was afraid, afraid that the other party was testing himself, and people were separated from each other, who knew if this person really wanted to let go of himself or wanted to test himself.
"Hey......"
With a long sigh of disappointment, Zhu Yifeng shook his head and said.
"Brother Li doesn't believe in the little brother! That's it! ”
Shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Yifeng looked at Li Ziyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and no longer helped him up, but said in a sly manner.
"In that case, you can stay, and when you go out later, call Yu Xiaobao......"
Looking at the owner blankly, Li Ziyuan will really be a little confused, could it be that this person is really ready to let himself go?
But this thought also flashed, in Li Ziyuan's opinion, this person dares to do business with the rebels, he must be ruthless, and he must not kill himself. Before falling into the hands of the rebels, life and death are up to people, after all, the ancestors are virtuous, and their lives should not be extinguished, and now on this ship, if you really believe in this person, maybe, this benefactor is likely to put him to death.
Be careful when you get on a thief ship!
Thinking about it like this, in the middle of the night, Li Ziyuan went to the cabin where ordinary sailors lived, although the foreign ship was very large, but the sailor's cabin was extremely simple, the cabin was small and dirty, there were only hammocks, everyone slept in the hammocks, but Li Ziyuan, who was tired and sleepy, couldn't take care of these now, took off his clothes, found a place to hang them, and slept in the corner of the bed.
There were more than a dozen sailors in the cabin who were also asleep, and none of them came in to talk to him, although he was sleepy and tired, but after hiding, Li Ziyuan couldn't sleep again, and his mind was just cranky.
Now, this little life can be regarded as being saved for the time being, but that person's words, is he really ready to let himself go? Or are you testing yourself? What if you missed this opportunity? Then my life is over, and it will be difficult to get on the thief ship?
Opportunity, do you really want to miss it so much?
Don't you still want to gain fame and become famous in the world? If you get on a thief ship, how can you test your fame again?
Exhausted, he just thought about it like this, and finally fell asleep groggily......
When I woke up, it was already dark, so I quickly turned over and got out of the hammock, and rushed out of the cabin to see where the boat had got, and there were several small boats moored near the boat, and fishing nets could still be seen on those small boats.
What is this place?
Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Ziyuan asked the man who seemed to be the boss of the ship:
"What kind of place is this, brother?"
The man just looked at him, but didn't say a word.
At this moment, the small boats approached the ocean-going ship, and just as a few of the men on board disembarked, they heard him speak:
"Mr. Li, the owner instructed us to let you get off the boat after we arrived in Jiujiang, and now it has arrived, this is the entanglement that the owner gave you, please go ashore!"
"Ahh
Looking at the two silver ingots weighing fifty taels, Li Ziyuan simply couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the silver in a daze, and then looked towards the stern, the owner was not there.
Go or stay!
When the silver was stuffed into his hand, feeling the cold silver ingot in his hand, Li Ziyuan stood on the bow of the boat in amazement, and for a while, he didn't know how to choose.
Do you want to go, or do you want to stay?
People always face too many choices in their lives, but at this time, Li Ziyuan doesn't know how to choose, what is the purpose of studying hard for more than ten years? If you don't leave, how can you enter Beijing to take the exam, and how can you leap into the door.
If you stay now, not only will it be difficult to enter the Shitu for the rest of your life, but it will be better to live, but it will be the long-term follower of the owner.
Let's go!
The glory of the Li family, more than ten years of hard work, can be ...... Thinking of that person's grace of life, Li Ziyuan's footsteps that had just moved stopped again, and for a while, he didn't know how to choose.
Just stunned and standing on the side with a silver ingot, Li Ziyuan's heart was struggling. A sudden shout interrupted his struggle.
"Are you going or not leaving? Let's go, if we don't go, we can go! ”
Standing on the fishing boat, Yu Xiaobao shouted loudly, now that the boat has arrived in Jiujiang, he wants to go home and inform his family, and the next time the boat comes to Jiujiang, he will always follow the owner, and more importantly, he has earned so much silver this time, and he has to hurry home to show off......
"Oooh, oh......"
Being shouted like this, Li Ziyuan hurriedly put the silver in his arms, and was about to get off the boat, when suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and after a while, he turned around again and shouted at Yu Xiaobao on the sampan.
"This little brother, I'm really sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I can't leave!"
After saying that, he walked towards the stern of the boat, at this moment, he had already figured it out, if there was no owner's life, he would have become a white bone under Wuchang City, what fame and fortune are just passing by the clouds, this grace of life is in front, the grace of receiving help is behind, this kind of kindness will be repaid with a lifetime.
It's just that no one noticed Li Ziyuan, when he turned around and didn't get off the boat, Yu Xiaobao's hand that was holding the dagger behind his back was retracted, and he looked at the back of the departing in a daze. At this moment, someone next to him said to Xiaobao.
"Brother Dog, if that person comes down, you really ......"
Without waiting for Xiaolong from the same village to finish speaking, Yu Xiaobao nodded vigorously.
"Do as the owner instructs!"
If he leaves, then don't blame the owner for being ruthless! Yu Xiaobao thought in his heart, sometimes, people always need to face a choice, just like Yu Xiaobao, he made his own choice, if that person got off the boat, he would definitely kill him!
The reality that there is no need to kill people now somewhat relieved Yu Xiaobao, but he has some regrets in his heart.
"Hey, it's a pity, fifty taels of silver! Let's go home, the owner said, I'll come back in 10 days at the latest! ”
Fifty taels!
Looking at the two silver ingots in front of him, Zhu Yifeng knew that this was the "road money" he gave him, and it was also the "reward money" promised to Yu Xiaobao.
Standing in front of Li Ziyuan, Zhu Yifeng smiled and asked rhetorically,
"Not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving!"
Nodding vigorously, Li Ziyuan hugged his fists and bowed his head.
"The owner, you have the grace of Hankou's life first, and the love of Jiujiang's gift of silver, if you don't know how to repay the favor in the next, even if you get fame, how can you feel at ease, since then, you are willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the owner's kindness of life......"
"Hey......"
Staring at him for a while, Zhu Yifeng suddenly sighed.
"Brother Li needs to be like this, how can Zhu save Brother Li, how can he want you to repay the favor?"
Don't want you to report? So what did you do to save you? Of course, this is just the idea in my heart, on the surface, this drama still has to be played enough, and people's hearts can be manipulated! Just like now.
"Please also ask the owner to fulfill it!"
"You ......"
Looking at Li Ziyuan, who couldn't bow for a long time, Zhu Yifeng smiled slightly in his heart, but he sighed on his face.
"Brother Meng Li does not give up, Zhu is grateful, but don't mention the matter of cattle and horses, Brother Li will be here in the future, that is, talk to me every day and chat! I wonder what Brother Li thinks? ”
Maybe for others, they don't understand what it means to talk and play chess, but how could Li Ziyuan not hear it, this is taking him as a friend, how not to move him, he hurriedly bowed deeply again and said,
"Thank you, Brother Zhu!"
If there were still so many thoughts of repaying the favor at the beginning, then now, at least at this moment, Li Ziyuan is a little lucky, glad that he voted for the right person.
Looking at Li Ziyuan's grateful look, Zhu Yifeng just smiled, for him, the reason why he would give him the role of a friend is very simple - he needs the scholars of this era to help him take care of some things, of course, he also needs to use the ability of these people, just like now.
"Come, Zilin, please take a seat!"
After inviting Li Ziyuan to sit down, Zhu Yifeng said bluntly.
"Zilin, there is one more thing at the moment, I have to help me plan and plan, I don't know what Zilin thinks?"
Sitting on the chair unceremoniously, he was silent for a moment, and then Li Ziyuan's eyes looked out and whispered.
"Boss, are you worried about those people?"
