In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and merchant ships from various countries have gradually sailed into the waters of the Pearl River and anchored at various coastal wharves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it is still a prosperous scene, it lacks the lively feeling of previous years, especially those Western businessmen, all of whom are like mourners, drooping their heads, and their steps are so heavy. However, the moment he stepped on the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture, he was relieved.

In the east of Guangzhou City, near the mouth of the Pearl River, there are commercial halls of various countries in turn, from west to east, they are Denmark, Spain, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the six countries of commercial halls, the corresponding national flags fly in the air with the wind. As the trade of Guangzhou Province entered the peak season, merchant ships from various countries came one after another and landed ashore. With the permission of the Yamen, the heads of the merchant halls also returned one after another, assuming the responsibility of communicating with the Qing court officials.

What is different from the past is that when the merchants of various countries go to their respective merchant houses, they are surprised to find that the people in charge there are gone, and the local women of Yishui are in charge of affairs and hospitality. Upon inquiry, everyone learned that just two months ago, there was a naval battle in Guangzhou, in which all the naval divisions of Guangzhou were wiped out, the navies of various countries were not spared, and the foreigners in Macao were slaughtered, and all of this was done by a pirate force called Thunder.

The moment they heard the news, many merchants panicked, but they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that when their fleet came, those pirates only collected some protection money, and demanded that when they came again, they must provide some industrial technology and equipment. Otherwise, don't want to enter the Pearl River Wharf, don't want to go back alive.

All of a sudden, the merchants of all the nations were in a state of panic, disagreement, and different decisions. The bold, in line with the blind nature of the businessman's crazy pursuit of profit, in the face of huge profits, makes them ignore the danger, make the decision to come back next year, and when it is too big to come out, buy some industrial equipment. The cowardly decides not to come again, and his life is at stake.

The first floor of Paramount is crowded with people, and it is like a closed street market, with various counters full of goods, which makes people overwhelmed and attract all kinds of people to watch and buy.

In the crowd, Yang Lin took Gao Yuxiu, Shang Weier, Zhao Min and the scholar Yang Xiao to hang out, and there were several servants around, and everyone wandered around. Gradually, the group walked towards the first basement floor.

"Sister Wei'er, don't be depressed, your teacher and they will be fine, don't worry, Thunder is not like other pirates, I heard some people say, they are not bad."

As soon as the little girl Zhao Min finished speaking, Gao Yuxiu on the other side also said: "Yes, Amin is right, Sister Wei'er, don't be sad." Brother Yang took us to the first basement floor, where there was a casino, which was fun. ”

However, in the face of everyone's words of consolation, Shang Weier just nodded slightly, still with that ancient and undisturbed look, not in the mood, knowing that the second daughter was well-intentioned, out of kindness, she smiled reluctantly and followed everyone to the stairs.

Although he didn't say it, Yang Lin sighed secretly, but he knew in his heart that he knew very well that if the group of people from the Ryukyu Kingdom didn't let it back, Shang Weier's heart knot would not be untied. Seeing the beauty sullen, Yang Lin was also unbearable and helpless, although the people in Iriomote were essentially in the hands of him Yang Lin. However, there is no reason to let those people go at all, after all, Iriomote They are not ordinary people, and they are easy to let go, and there are no casualties, which will only make people suspicious, and if you dig into the reason, it will inevitably involve something.

When the thoughts were flowing, the group had come to the first floor of the basement, looking at the hustle and bustle of the scene, Yang Lin said: "You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go to the counter, change some chips, let's gamble for a while, relax." ”

"Well, okay, Brother Yang, go ahead, we're waiting for you here~!" The three girls responded almost in unison.

Yang Lin nodded, and turned to the other four servants and ordered: "Protect the three young ladies, if there is a mistake, I will make you look good!" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Yang Xiao, don't be stunned, come with me and help me carry my things."

Although he was a little reluctant, Yang Xiao still followed, but he was muttering to himself in his heart: "Hmph, the young master is really, what hard work does it take to think of me..."

Not long after, Yang Xiao followed Yang Lin back, with a smile on his face, swept away the depressed look of muttering just now, kept fiddling with the chips in his hand, and his mouth was not idle: "Young master, what you said is true?" Really don't regret it? I also have a share of these chips, and if I lose, I won't be with me, and the wins are all mine? ”

Along the way, Yang Xiao kept repeating these words, his face was excited, his cheeks were a little flushed, and his eyes flashed with the light of a wealth fan, overflowing.

"Yes~ Yes, of course it's true, when did you lose your words, young master of your family? Deceived people? ”

At this moment, without waiting for Yang Xiao to respond, Yang Lin found that a group of people were gathered in front of him, and it seemed that they were watching something? Suddenly, Yang Lin wondered, who dared to make trouble in Paramount? This is their home field, I can't know better, who has the guts?

Suddenly, just as Yang Lin was strolling in confusion, a familiar voice came from the crowd in front of him, which made Yang Lin stunned and reacted quickly.

"What are you going to do? In broad daylight, molesting women from good families, but it's a felony, get out of the way, otherwise we will report to the police! ”

Yang Lin no longer hesitated, did not walk again, ran quickly, and went straight forward. At this time, Yang Xiao also reacted, wasn't the place where the onlookers in front of him was the place where the three young masters were located? Thinking of this, he also ran up and followed.

Breaking through the crowd of onlookers, as soon as he came to the encirclement, he saw a brightly dressed man who was about to make a move on Shang Weier, Gao Yuxiu and Zhao Min stood in the forefront, trying to stop it, while his four subordinates were pressed to the ground by several big men and couldn't move.

"Stop! It's really blind to your dog's eyes, and you dare to touch my people. I warn you, you don't have to be a woman, you can be so presumptuous! ”

Yang Lin scolded, and immediately, the crowd of onlookers automatically flashed, and the man's frivolous movements were even more stagnant, hanging in the air, stiffening there.

Soon, Yang Lin came to the front, standing between Zhao Min and Gao Yuxiu, confronting the man, his dark eyes flashed with inexplicable light, forcing him to look at each other, a nervous qi lingered between the two, slowly steaming, constantly overflowing, and diffusing to the surroundings, making the crowd of onlookers retreat slightly, worried that it would harm themselves, but still uphold the mood of watching the excitement and watch.

After a moment of stalemate, one of the man's servants suddenly stepped forward and whispered in his ear. As the whispering progressed, the man's face began to become gloomy, his eyes were full of hatred, and he was very hostile to Yang Lin, so obvious and naked. Then, the meaningful Sen Sen said: "It turned out to be you... It's really a narrow road~! ”

Yang Lin's forehead was slightly wrinkled, his eyebrows raised, he felt the strong hostility of the other party, and when he heard this, his pupils began to shrink slightly, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt that the man in front of him became, as if he had seen it somewhere?

A flash of light flashed through his mind, and with a flash of inspiration, Yang Lin remembered, seemed to be a little unsure, and responded coldly: "It's you...?" (To be continued.) )
