English!

Almost the moment he received the letter, Shen Ming suddenly felt that his head was big for a while, although he could read some simple French, but he didn't know anything about English at all.

I don't understand it at all!

Li Ziyuan took the note and looked at it carefully, although he was going to learn English, but he hadn't started learning it yet, so he immediately ordered.

"Captain Shen, go, call all the crew over and ask them who can read this letter!"

Captain Shen?

Isn't it Alfred?

Xue Hailong looked at these people in front of him a little strangely, from the expressions of these people, he seemed to sense something, it seems that these people and those "Cantonese bandits" are not the same thing.

It seems that those "Cantonese bandits" did not regard them as their own, otherwise, how could they be so nervous, could it be said that the "Cantonese bandits" are ready to detain them?

"Hey, did you see where our host went?"

When Shen Ming looked for the crew members and asked who could read the English examples, Li Ziyuan stared at Xue Hailong and asked.

"Return, Mr. Hui, okay, it seems to say that there is a Shaanxi Hall near the wharf, where the Holy Official will hold a banquet to entertain your host!"

Although he had doubts in his heart, Xue Hailong still answered the question truthfully.

Shaanxi Guild Hall?

"Where is the Shaanxi Guild Hall?"

"Return, return to Mr. Talk, walk along the dock to the city, that is, half a mile away......"

Xue Hailong hurriedly pointed to the direction of the dock and said to Li Ziyuan, this will make his mind float, maybe on this boat, he still has the possibility of escaping.

"Half a mile to the north, can you point out the location? ……”

"I don't need to point out, there's no bigger place outside this city gate!"

As a native of Hankou, Xue Hailong naturally knew that the Shaanxi Guild Hall was the most decent house in the area around the wharf, and even from here, he could faintly see the roof ridge of the Guild Hall. Sure enough, as soon as he pointed at it, Li Ziyuan immediately found the house, and Shen Ming had already walked over, his expression was extremely serious, and when he walked over, Li Ziyuan hurriedly asked.

"How's it going, do you recognize it?"

"Mr. Li, although I didn't recognize it, I recognized it!"

Thanks to the boatswain, the boatswain had worked on British merchant ships for more than ten years, and although he had not read a book, he could still recognize some English.

"Something's wrong!"

Shen Ming's words made Li Ziyuan's heart tighten, and he asked repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

Almost instantly, he thought of another worst outcome - those "Cantonese bandits" wanted to kill people and seize goods!

"The owner was detained by them!"

What the!

Looking at Shen Ming in astonishment, Li Ziyuan didn't know how to speak at all. Although he had considered this possibility, he still felt the fear firsthand when it happened!

"Dong, what did the owner say in the letter?"

The wine is the old wine of Shaanxi, and the food is a good dish with fragrant fragrance.

It's a pity that this banquet is a Hongmen banquet that is intended to punish people!

The wine was drunk in his mouth, it was tasteless, and when the words came out of his throat, it was against his will, as for the dish, the food was tasteless, almost every minute, for Zhu Yifeng, it was a kind of torture, although on the face, he seemed to be talking and laughing with Zhao Lishan there, but in fact, his heart was a mixture of flavors.

What if they can't read their letters?

This is what Zhu Yifeng is most worried about now, if they can't understand it, then they are very likely to be detained here, of course, more importantly, it is very likely that they will lose both people and money, and even lose their lives, it is not impossible.

What to do?

"Brother, come, let's drink, respect you!"

When he spoke, Zhao Lichuan had already drunk a bowl of spirits, and just when Zhu Yifeng was smiling and drinking the wine in the bowl, there was a gift over there, and the wine was delivered on the boat.

It was none other than Xue Hailong, who had sent the letter to the ship before, and he was carrying two bottles of foreign wine, but he was very entangled in his heart, what should he do?

Now the owner of the ship and the "Cantonese bandits" are not all the way, it is obvious that these "Cantonese bandits" are all ready to detain people and grab goods.

Now, what should I do? Is it to "sell" this news to the "Cantonese bandits", or ...... Entangled in his heart, Xue Hailong took the wine into the hall and entered the private room.

"Sir, the wine that the foreigner captain asked me to bring down!"

Taking the two bottles of whiskey, Zhu Yifeng forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked softly.

"Do you have any orders from the captain?"

Enjoin?

was stunned for a moment, and then Xue Hailong hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, he, he said everything is OK, please rest assured."

Hearing this, especially after hearing "OK", Zhu Yifeng finally put his mind at ease, it seems that the ship has read his letter! And his mind was so slack, it fell in Zhao Lishan's eyes, which immediately aroused his suspicions,

There's nothing strange about this sentence, right?

OK？ What does that mean?

He didn't know anything about foreign literature, so he tried to ask.

"Brother, what does this OK mean?"

"Huh? It's all right, it's just a message from someone on board! Why, Lord Zhao doesn't believe it? ”

Xu is because the ship has already gotten his own news, and this little life has been somewhat guaranteed, although he did not directly make it clear, but Zhu Yifeng no longer cowered as before in his words.

At the same time, he asked deliberately.

"When I came here just now, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of musketeers with foreign guns on the side of the dock, and now your army is really strong, even in Shanghai, those foreign devils are not necessarily generous enough to guard the dock with foreign spearmen......

Although Zhu Yifeng hadn't made it clear yet, Zhao Lishan immediately realized that something was wrong.

There is a saying, this "those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help", not far from Shanghai all the way up the river, I don't know how many risks to bear, saying that it is for silver, but in the final analysis, but it is still because the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not the lord of China, today the Heavenly Kingdom is rejuvenating the Qing Dynasty, it is when my Han family men and sons are driving away the great things, I am just a businessman, I just want to help the kingdom of heaven with arms, but my painstaking efforts, how many people can understand? Not only can no one understand, but because someone listened to the villain's words, he plotted to kill him, for so many taels of silver? A shipload of munitions? Is it worth it? Furthermore, if Zhu is killed, who will procure munitions for the Kingdom of Heaven in the future? Buying arms? ”

Zhao Lishan, who knew that the other party was very likely to know the intention of the East King, was blushing for a while by Zhu Yifeng's robbery, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, so he had to say in a snort:

"Look at you, Dong, how can the king of the East be such a stingy man, this, this musketeer...... Well, it's not for your protection...... Right! ”

Zhao Lishan, who finally found a reason, hurriedly explained.

"Brother, you're mistaken. Don't you know, didn't Xiang Rong lead tens of thousands of Qing Demon Elites to attack our Heavenly Army outside the city? No, the king of the east is afraid that they will attack this dock, so he will send elite musketeers to protect the dock, you see on this dock, the ones that are burned, but they are all left over from the previous battle between the two armies......"

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, for Zhao Lishan, the most important thing now is to appease the other party and wait for the ship.

"Besides, if the king of the east wanted to make money and kill him, how could he wait until now? How can you let someone give you the two million taels of silver and swallow your goods directly? ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Zhao Lishan said again.

"Brother, this, you can't talk nonsense, that is, you and me, if you change it to someone else......"

"Huh...... Blame me, blame me, this wine is too much and always talks nonsense...... Drink...... Come on, man, let's drink......"

Knowing that the other party was just keeping his own Zhu Yifeng with words, he hurriedly got off the donkey and picked it up, and the atmosphere finally eased again, and the two continued to drink there again.

After a few rounds of drinking, Zhu Yifeng said that he wanted to go to the toilet first, although Zhao Lishan did not stop him, but he still ordered a Taiping soldier to follow him in the name of leading the way.

Zhu Yifeng had just left, and Zhao Lishan immediately commanded someone.

"Quick, immediately go and tell the king of the east, the surname Zhu has already noticed it, and ask what to do over there at the nine thousand years old?"

What to do?

The Taiping soldiers who followed closely behind him made Zhu Yifeng's heart anxious, what should he do now? He followed him like this, how could he escape alive?

Looking at the time on the pocket watch, it was less than fifteen minutes away, it was nine o'clock in the evening......

No, you have to get out of here!

Thinking so in his heart, as soon as he went out, the cold wind blew in his face, and Zhu Yifeng leaned against the gray wall outside the door, and bent down to vomit.

"Sir, be careful, be careful...... Uh......"

The Taiping soldier saw that Zhu Yifeng almost vomited, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and when he was supporting him with his shoulder, Zhu Yifeng violently strangled the arm on his shoulder and choked his throat.

"Hoo ......"

The soldier whose neck was clamped to his arm struggled desperately, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Boy, don't blame me, I want to live ...... too"

But Zhu Yifeng was unmoved and kept increasing the strength of his arm, the arm became tighter and tighter, and slowly, the soldier who was still struggling desperately lost his movement.

Just when he realized that the soldier was dead, suddenly, another scream rang out in the courtyard.

"Ah, kill ......"
