Bang!

With the sound of a ladder colliding between the two ships, the merchant ship and the cargo ship with the anchor fixed were no more than two or three meters apart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Then, a few people jumped out of the cargo ship, led by a man surnamed Zhou, who quickly walked over the ladder and jumped into the merchant ship softly, and the first mate was already waiting with the sailor.

"Hehe, presumably this is the first brother of the first officer, next week Wenlong, the head of the elder association of this transaction, I am fortunate to be happy!"

While Zhou Wenlong was polite, he did not forget to look at the situation on the ship and the distribution of personnel from the corner of his eye. Seeing that each sailor was holding a bird's gun, although his face was calm, his heart was full of envy. At the same time, I also know that these Luzon people are demonstrating, warning themselves not to mess around, and to buy and sell honestly.

"Haha, Brother Zhou, hello, it's better to be famous than to meet, I didn't expect that the elder brother would be the second leader of the Guangzhou Mansion Branch, and he would be so elegant, looking like a weak scholar."

The first mate was also returning the salute, although the words were very polite, but there was a look of arrogance on his face, and he saw that the person in charge of the Elders' Association was not only full of anger, but also the entourage was holding a big knife and a long sword, such a cold weapon, and he was even more contemptuous.

It can be seen from this that the first mate of the Luzon merchant side looked down on the people of the Qing court at that time, and how stupid they were with contempt in their naked eyes. If there is a dispute between the two sides, no matter how powerful the guns are at such a close distance, how can they resist the edge of cold weapons?!

A short polite gift, a word of meeting, passed in the blink of an eye, followed by business and business.

Seeing that there was nothing on the deck, Zhou Wenlong couldn't help but be puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Brother first mate, I don't know what about your nitrate?" Do you want me to see the goods, brother? ”

Although they are arrogant and look down on these people in the Elders' Association, but they have been adrift at sea for many years, and they have followed the captain to do business and see countless people, the first mate is still a little cautious, and did not immediately say where the nitrate is, but asked rhetorically: "As the saying goes, before inspecting the money and goods, should I also see your sincerity?" ”

Zhou Wenlong smiled slightly, turned his head sideways to an entourage and said, "You take their people back to our ship and let them see the silver." ”

The first mate stroked his hand and smiled, motioning for the person next to him to follow, to see if the silver was true? Soon after, the OK gesture of the Luzon sailors came from the cargo ship, and the first mate made a gesture of please and leaned sideways.

"Brother Zhou, please, the nitrate is under the cabin, in a secret place, your government is really strict in its investigation and control, we have to be careful, don't be surprised~"

"Where to say, this can be understood, there is nothing strange or unusual."

It was only a moment of effort, Zhou Wenlong came to the bottom of the cabin, stood there and looked at the pile of goods, after opening it, the exposed nitrate sand, his face was full of joy, very satisfied.

Seeing that the person in charge of the Elders' Association was satisfied, he felt that there was no problem with this business, and the first mate was in a very good mood, and reminded kindly: "Brother Zhou, I see that you are a cargo ship, and there is no cabin for storing goods. ”

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and tense and dangerous words followed, making the two sides vigilant at the same time, guarding against each other, their eyes were gloomy, and a faint smell of gunpowder began to permeate.

"First mate, no, there are a large number of small boats and rafts coming towards our boat quickly, there are many people on it, they will surround us, they still have birds in their hands!"

In an instant, the sailors on the Luzon side aimed the bird guns in their hands at Zhou Wenlong and the others, and the first mate also quickly retreated, hiding behind the sailors with a look of anger. The elders' side also raised their big knives and confronted each other, and the fight was about to break out, and both sides thought that the other party was ambushed in advance and was ready to fight the black.

The most calm person now is Zhou Wenlong, who is still standing in that place without moving, his brows are slightly furrowed, and he feels that the tension in Luzon is by no means a disguise, but a real one, so it seems that there is an unknown force of a third party intervening in it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel secretly anxious, and my voice was a little nervous and hurried.

"First mate, I assure you, those people are definitely not ours, this transaction, the elder council came with twelve points of sincerity, and wants to continue to do business with you, and will not do such a thing as killing chickens and eggs."

The first mate was a little moved, as if he had been said to be moved a little, but he still maintained a vigilant look, and the spear was still pointed at everyone.

Zhou Wenlong knew that the situation was extremely urgent now, and one party had to show enough sincerity and take a step back first, so that it could trust him and not make trouble, so that he could deal with the sudden appearance of a third-party force. On the merchant ship of Luzon, he was the only one who took the lead in taking a step back.

"Quick, put down your sword and throw it at them!"

Zhou Wenlong ordered the entourage to be stopped and asked them to throw their weapons to the sailors and other crew members of the Luzon Kingdom opposite. The entourage of the Elders' Association only hesitated for a moment, and when they saw the solemnity and order in Zhou Wenlong's eyes, they had no choice but to drop the weapons in their hands.

"First mate, you should believe me this time, those people outside are definitely not from my brotherhood! Let's hurry up and have a look, unite the two sides, and repel the sudden appearance. Once we fall into the encirclement, we will become caged birds, not only will I lose those silver coins, but your goods will not be able to be saved. ”

"Brother Zhou, your actions are really magnificent, I have seen your sincerity, without the slightest procrastination, it is really clean and neat, so that people have to be convinced~"

As he spoke, the first mate winked and motioned to the two sailors beside him to pick up the broadsword and sword.

Watching the two sailors quickly put away their weapons and hugged them, Zhou Wenlong's heart became more and more anxious, and if he delayed for a minute, there would be more danger, and the voice of the first mate sounded, still keeping his guard.

"Brother Zhou, please first, we will press you in the back!"

How could Zhou Wenlong not see the first mate's careful thoughts? In the spirit of the overall situation, he walked briskly along the road given by a dry sailor, ignoring the bird still pointing at him, and hurried away, but the entourage was angry, angry, and hated to glared at the first mate and the sailor with the gun, very dissatisfied.

When Zhou Wenlong and the first mate appeared outside the cabin with their respective men and horses, as soon as they stood on the deck, they were surprised by the scene in front of them, and they didn't expect that this was the case outside.

I saw that on the merchant ship, the people left by Zhou Wenlong confronted the sailors, looking tense and ready to do it at any time. There are also some sailors divided into two parts, some of them pointing their birds in the northwest direction, faintly, a large number of rafts and small boats can be seen coming rapidly, showing a fan-shaped distribution, each of them, maintaining a certain distance, neat array, and moving in unison.

Other sailors, their guns pointed at the opposite cargo ship, aiming at the Brotherhood with broadswords in hand. The same is true of the Elders on the cargo ship, some wary of approaching third forces, some of them staring at the sailors and crews, clenching their swords and broadswords.

At this moment, Zhou Wenlong's shaking spirit only lasted for a moment, and seeing this situation, he was already twelve points sure in his heart that the person who suddenly appeared was not deployed by the merchants of Luzon, and there were really other forces attacking and meddling in this nitrate business.

Although I am confident in my heart, in the territory of Guangdong Province, the name of the Elders' Association is quite loud, and it can deter some young people, even pirates who are crazy at sea, and they will also give the Elders' Association a thin face, and they dare not provoke it easily and provoke a war between the two sides.

However, in the face of the sudden arrival of strange faces, so many blatant people, each with a bird's gun, more or less bottomless, lack of courage, can't help but walk slowly, standing on the side of the boat, staring, trying to look into the distance, trying to see whether the people on the boat and the bamboo raft are familiar with themselves, ignoring the tension on both sides.

At this moment, as the first person under the captain, how could the person in charge of the merchant ship at this time not be able to see the current situation clearly? How can you not be friends with us? The first mate saw the performance of the elders in his eyes, and he already believed what Zhou Wenlong said, and made a look.

"Give them back your swords, all your guns are aimed at those who are sudden, and no one is allowed to shoot without my orders!"

As the merchant ships of Luzon were no longer hostile, even without Zhou Wenlong's order, the elders on the cargo ship also put away their swords and waited around the edge of the ship with solemn expressions, wary of the rafts and boats, the uninvited unscrupulous ones who were coming.

The first mate also understood that in this Pearl River water, which was not a place where he was arrogant in Luzon, he did not dare to take the lead in making trouble, so he silently walked to Zhou Wenlong's side, also looked in the northwest direction, and asked in a somewhat nervous tone.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do now?" (To be continued.) )
