In the evening, it is destined that there will be two people who stay awake all night, tossing and turning, and another person is secretly happy, and is talking with people in the secret room at the moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ah Kun, it's Mr. Zhuge who has news from you, right?"

"Well, yes, young master, Mr. Zhuge said that this operation went very smoothly, no one was killed, but a few people were injured by stray bullets, there is no major problem, and you can recover after a period of rest."

Yang Lin was very satisfied, he didn't expect Zhuge Mou and Qi Zhiyuan to handle things so neatly, what happened in the morning, whether it was on the bright side of Guangzhou Mansion or between various gangs, no one knew about the robbery of the Elders' Association and the merchants of Luzon State, and it had not yet spread.

Although this operation was a surprise attack, and the target did not have any strong resistance ability, he was still very satisfied with the performance of the thunder, and the record of completely annihilating the opponent and zero deaths was placed there, and it was something to boast about there.

Seeing that Yang Lin was thinking about things, with a faint look of joy on his face, Qu Kun interrupted Yang Lin's thoughts, and asked, "Young master, Mr. Zhuge asked me to ask, when will you go to Huludao and take those nitrate sands?" ”

Yang Lin thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "En... The Elders and the Luzon people will be mad when they see that their ships and people have not returned overnight, and they should send people to search for them as soon as the morning dawns, searching the trading waters, and secretly checking the passing ships on the Pearl River. ”

"So, after a while, when the wind is over, I will really accept the deaf and dumb hall, and then go to get nitrate."

"Okay, young master, I'll send someone to reply tomorrow and convey your order to Huludao."

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Yang Lin's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said again: "By the way, Ah Kun, by the way, tell Head Qi and Mr. Zhuge that they should prepare a team of people and horses to be on standby at any time, I will use them in the next few days!" ”

When Qu Kun responded, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it really be that the young master was really ready to make a move against the three major forces, as his father guessed and worried? Now that the Elder Council has secretly attacked, it is even more likely.

Qu Kun didn't have Zhai Dakun's worries and worries, because he knew the existence of thunder. Even if Yang Lin can't stay in Guangzhou Mansion, he can still be at ease at sea, robbing the foreign merchants and tourists in the past, and his life will be more comfortable and comfortable, and he doesn't have to look at the faces of some big officials in Guangzhou Mansion.

Now there is no one who is most anxious than the Elders' Association, their helmsman, and the leader of the branch. At this time, the helmsman of the Elders' Association walked back and forth annoyingly, pacing in the usual meeting hall, and the longer the time, the more anxious and impatient his heart became.

For the helm handle, the nitrate business with the merchants of Luzon was completely out of a self-preservation move, and there was no choice but to do it. One of the factions of the flood gate and the Green Gang took over the deaf and dumb church, so as to quickly grow bigger, threatening the status and existence of the Elders' Association, and had to buy a batch of nitrate and bird guns in case of emergency.

However, it was already dark, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there was still no news about Zhou Wenlong and others. Eventually, the helm knob sat down in his chair in a state that lasted only for a moment, and then he was shocked and shouted out the door.

"Someone!"

Soon, a congregation of the Elders' Church did not come in, and the usual confidant of the helmsman, when Zhou Wenlong was away, was handed over to this person to do it.

"Helmsman, I wonder what you called me here? Any commands? ”

"Wei Er, early tomorrow morning, you will take your brother to the sea near Shilin Island to check and see if there has been any battle there? Are there any traces of the aftermath of the fight? ”

"At the same time, let all the members of our branches along the Pearl River take action to secretly search for passing ships, suspicious people and nitrate cargo. As soon as there is news of Brother Zhou, I will immediately send someone to report to me! ”

As a confidant, you must not only be loyal and executive, but also understand the mood of the master, and offer advice when it is time to make suggestions; When the master is not in the mood, he must know how to remain silent. Wei Er just looked at Lin Dajiang, the helm handle, and slowly retreated.

As the largest foreigner settlement area, Macao is mainly distributed by Portuguese, and faces the settlements of various countries in the southeast of Guangdong Province, across the Pearl River, and the control is much looser. Unlike Guangzhou Mansion, the four doors are closed before dark, and it is impossible to enter or exit.

Macau is a small island, surrounded by walls, and in the dark night, you can still see ships coming and going, either docking or sailing away.

The door of the Portuguese consulate was slammed open, and the soldiers guarding the door saw that it was a Luzon merchant and immediately let in, and at the same time someone went to look for Philips.

It's still that hall, or the place where Feng Zhuogan threatens, the Luzon merchant still has an ugly look, looking at the sleepy-eyed Philips worriedly, and said anxiously: "Lord Philips, my first mate hasn't come back yet, and there is no news so far, something must have happened, you quickly send the royal fleet to search for it~"

Philips was unmoved, perhaps because of sleepiness, the whole person was in a daze, and his voice was weak, coping: "Something? What can happen, the transaction with the Elder Church is temporarily changed, and the location is also re-chosen, and there will be no accidents. Maybe the first mate has some special reason, delayed, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, okay, you go back, why do you think it's going to be in such a hurry, come to me in the middle of the night, and after one night, maybe the first mate will come back."

The heart of the Luzon businessman is like roasting on a fire, and he is very anxious, how can Philips's words and coping attitude dispel his worries and anxiety? More than 2,000 loads of nitrate carry too many dreams of Luzon businessmen, and almost all of his belongings.

If there is a mistake, it will really verify Feng Zhuogan's threatening words, and he, a Luzon merchant, will have a hard time returning to his hometown, and will live on the streets and beg for a living, just like those Westerners from all over the world whose business has failed.

I have doubts, I have speculated, I think that the first mate may donate money and abscond, and he can't resist the temptation of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or Feng Zhuofan has moved his hands and feet and secretly cut off his beard.

However, after a little thought, the merchants of Luzon denied both possibilities, the procedures and certificates of the first mate and all the sailors were in their own hands, and even if they absconded with donations, they could neither return to Luzon nor enter the countries on the southeast coast, and their merchant ships were registered.

Feng Zhuogan is even more impossible, this early transaction is because of him, and he keeps it all the time. As Philips said, the time and place are all chosen by themselves, and the elders' meeting will be notified temporarily, even if Feng Zhuogan knows, it will be too late in time.

The more I thought about it, the more confused my thoughts became, the Luzon merchants had lost their attention, they had lost their backbones, and they had a faint bad feeling lingering in their hearts, thinking about the nitrate that was almost all of their own property, and the Luzon merchants couldn't care about anything, so they stepped forward, clasped Philips' arms with both hands, shook vigorously, and no longer had scruples about words.

"Philips, wake up, if something happens to my merchant ship and the nitrate is robbed, you won't get anything, and you won't even want to get a penny!"

"Damn, don't sleep anymore, Portuguese ghost, be sober, that cargo is not only all my belongings, but also your life after you retire!"

In this case, Philips no longer sleepy, his muddy head was shaken and dizzy, and then he was completely awake, and money was also exerting its magic, as soon as he heard that he could not get a penny, the plan to buy goods when he returned home would come to naught, and Philips immediately became energetic.

"Don't worry, let me go first, let me think about it, okay? At this time, in the middle of the night, there is no very urgent situation, and I simply cannot mobilize the royal fleet of the Great Portuguese Empire! ”

Although he couldn't keep calm and anxious, the Luzon merchant still had a bit of rationality, so he let go of Philips, his face full of anxiety, his brow hovering between stretching and folding, and forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

On Hulu Island, inside the Tibetan soldiers, although it was late at night, it was still very lively, Qi Zhiyuan and Zhuge Mou stood at the forefront, and below stood the representatives of the daytime action, the platoon commanders, squad leaders and the company commanders who led the action.

As the commander, the supreme leader of Huludao, the regiment commander Qi Zhiyuan was really happy about the great victory in the morning, which was far better than suppressing the internal rebellion of the remnants of the Black Flag Gang and completely subduing it.

Water warfare, for most of the soldiers of Thunder, has never been, only today's company has really experienced and put into practice, the tacit cooperation of personnel, the use of tactics, made Qi Zhiyuan more convinced of Zhuge Mou, no longer care about his former pirate identity.

Qi Zhiyuan's face was red and energetic, and he began to praise the company that acted, three platoons and nine squads, plus the company commander, a total of ninety-one people.

"Soldiers, this operation is very successful, not to mention more, as a reward, you can rest for a day tomorrow, no longer train, you can walk on Huludao at will, but you are not allowed to leave Huludao."

Zhuge Mou on the side was very surprised, he didn't expect the reward to be so simple, he was very happy to see these soldiers, without the slightest complaint, and the light of excitement revealed in his eyes showed that they did not have any dissatisfaction in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhuge Mou couldn't help but think of the previous Black Flag Gang, the gang leader Guo Po, if the members of the Black Flag Gang were managed like this, strict discipline, always kept vigilant, and did not drink easily, there would be no tragedy in the Battle of Chilijiao, and there would be no demise of the Black Flag Gang.

Zhuge Mou was still recalling, and his mind began to wander, and it didn't take long for him to be woken up by a soft call, and he was stunned and immediately turned around.

"Mr. Zhuge , what do you want?"

"Uh-uh, Head Qi, what's wrong? Are all scattered? Seeing that there was no one in front of him, and those generals were no longer there, Zhuge asked meaninglessly.

Qi Zhiyuan didn't seem to care about Zhuge Mou's distraction, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge this time, if you hadn't anticipated things like a god, sent someone to disguise yourself as a miscellaneous person in advance, and mixed into the consulate of the foreigners, we wouldn't have gotten the news, so we would have deployed in advance, and we wouldn't have played such a beautiful ambush, you should be the first to take the lead!" ”

"Hey, Commander Qi is polite, this is just his own duty, what should be done, it is those soldiers who are bleeding and sweating, they don't dare to seize the fruits of their victory, and they don't dare to be greedy for their own merits."

"Hehe, don't talk about this, let's go back to the house and rest, presumably the marshal's reply will arrive tomorrow."

"Well, Captain Qi, let's disperse, don't say I don't feel anything, I'm really sleepy when I say it."

Subsequently, the two left one after another, and the cave was silent again, empty. (To be continued.) )
