"Dad, the Dai family came over like this, isn't it a little too ......?"

Dai Li had endured these words all the way, and he also knew that his father's mind had been made up, and there was no room for change, but when he saw the horizon in the distance, he still asked the doubts in his heart. 【Reading.com】

"Too reckless? Hmph, what about that decision when you were in Goto? Since the uncle of the family sold it without blinking, now he has come to count your son. Standing side by side with Dai Li at the bow of the boat was an old man, and although he wore a Confucian shirt, his words did not resemble that of a scholar at all.

"Uncle Yan, he was going to settle in the Wa Kingdom, no matter how remote Liaodong is, it is always stronger than the Wa Kingdom, right?"

muttering a few words in a low voice, Dai Li said with a straight face: "But Dad, even if the champion Hou Ye is in the limelight, is it still a little worse than those century-old families in Jiangnan?" Why don't we look at the style? Anyway, the old man Hong Zhong has disappeared, and the Hong family itself is difficult to protect, and we can't take care of embarrassing our Dai family. ”

"Hmph, I went to the Wa Kingdom for a while, and I got on the line of the champion Hou, Lao Tzu thought that you had grown a little, but it turned out to be such a waste."

The old man snorted coldly and said angrily: "The ancestors of the Dai family are craftsmen, although they have now taken off their craftsman status, but in the eyes of those families, they are still no different from craftsmen, they can be given and bullied at will, do you think that if you go to a Hong family, you can't come to the Lan family again in the future?" If you want to say that no one else came before, it was thanks to the blessing of the Hong family, and the Hong family didn't eat it, how could it allow others to eat? ”

He looked up into the distance, pointed to Port Arthur, which was getting clearer and clearer, and sighed: "In the world, only Lushun, that is, the territory under the jurisdiction of the champion Hou, craftsmen have a foothold, maybe they will be treated preferentially, Ziyan is already here, our Dai family can be regarded as having a care, why not gamble?" How can you not fight once? ”

"Dad, that's what you said."

is still a little reluctant to the prosperity of Jiangnan, but Dai Li also knows that what his father said is right, just like what he said he did in Wudao, he took refuge in the first place, and if he fell behind, he could only make up for it by hard work and strength, and it was much worse to come and go.

"There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the port, it seems to be ...... Murderous? After staring in the direction of the port for a while, Daddy Dai suddenly frowned.

"Murderous? Dad, don't misunderstand it from Master Hou, otherwise, let's stop the boat first and send a small boat into the port to inform you. Dai Li had seen flywheel battleships and incendiary bombs, and for fear of being misunderstood, he hurriedly proposed.

"Well, let's do it." Daddy Dai nodded, but his brows were still deeply locked, and until Dai Li came back, he still maintained this posture, which made Dai Li a little strange.

"It's strange, we didn't meet any other ships along the way, and it's still far from Port Arthur at this time, so why is it suddenly heavily guarded over there? Supposedly, even if someone saw us, they wouldn't be able to prepare so quickly, right? What's more, it's so far away? Daddy Dai said suddenly.

"Maybe there's a high platform on the other side of the port...... "Dali was nervous, how could he bother to pay attention to these things, and things were obviously worse than his father expected, and he was stunned in the middle of his words.

Although it is still far away and cannot be seen clearly, with years of sailing experience, Dai Li knows what the more than ten bright waterlines that appear from the direction of the port mean.

"This speed...... It's the modified car ship of the Champion Hou! He cried out in horror.

"This is the kind of ship? Sure enough, it is as fast as a galloping horse, which is really remarkable. Daddy Dai was amazed, and he thought more than his son, "A ship came up so soon, and the port had already discovered us, hurry, lower the sails and anchor, don't cause misunderstanding." ”

...... "It's Jiangnan Dai's family?" Is it Master Dai's family? ”

After receiving the report, Xie Hong was also very surprised, when Dai Li did say that he wanted to come to take refuge, but Xie Hong didn't take it to heart, compared to this kind of promise that he didn't know when it would be realized, or Dai Ziyan who received it was more realistic.

Unexpectedly, the other party really kept his promise, and he came at this juncture. Although it caused a false alarm, it was also an unexpected surprise.

If you remember it well, the Dai family is an ancestral craft, a family of shipwrights, there may be only one person who is so outstanding as Dai Ziyan, but there will be no fewer senior craftsmen who are slightly worse than him, isn't this a sleepy person who sends a pillow?

"Go and ask Master Dai to come over, don't relax the security at the dock, let them come over one ship first, and the fleet will continue to monitor the remaining fleet, well, send two more ships to search south, so as not to deceive."

Although he was pleasantly surprised, but after getting the news that the Jiangnan people were about to move, Xie Hong did not dare to relax his vigilance. Wang Jianzhi's assessment of Xie Hong is quite correct, Lushun is his foundation here, if it is destroyed, then the good situation, including the capital, will be ruined.

"Obey." Jiang Bin was already commanding the deployment at the dock at this time, and another herald passed the order down.

A small head poked out of the back hall, and Qing'er asked timidly, "Brother Hong, are there bad people coming outside?" ”

"It's okay, even if the bad guys come, they won't be able to get ashore, don't worry."

"Either a bad guy or a friend? Isn't there no need to hide? Yue'er knows, grandma said, there are friends from afar, it's very happy, now it's right to play music to greet you. Another small head poked out, and there was no expression of fear on Yue'er's smiling little face.

"Well, sort of...... "Okay, our grandma plagiarized the Analects again this time, right?" But that doesn't seem to mean music, does it?

"You guys, don't go out in the house, my brother will go back when he goes."

The Lushun Marquis Mansion was originally a dirt city, and after repairs, it was still strong, and safety was not a problem, but Xie Hong always felt weird, talking to his daughter-in-law, why did he always seem to be coaxing a child? Honestly, my brother is not actually from Lolicon...... There were heavy troops near the dock, and the murderous atmosphere was fierce, but the atmosphere was not tense. Whether it is a fan from the capital or a border army in Liaozhen, they are all veterans of the battlefield, even if the fight is imminent, they will not feel nervous.

In contrast, the Dai family, who startled Lushun Port, was very nervous, except for an old man who stood in the middle and was vaguely similar to Dai Ziyan between his eyebrows, who was quite calm, the rest of the people, old or young, including Dai Li, whom Xie Hong had seen once, were all pale and sweaty, with a trembling look.

Seeing this scene, Xie Hong had almost confirmed the identity of the person who came. Unless Jiangnan scholars want to engage in internal and external cooperation, these people should not be in any danger. Even if you want to engage in internal and external cooperation, the layout of the industrial zone is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and with these people who are more like craftsmen than gentry, I am afraid that there is no way to cause any damage.

"Master Hou, these are these people, the one in the middle is the ...... who claims to be the head of the Dai family" The title in private is more casual, but in front of outsiders, Jiang Bin still has a clear eye to call Hou Ye, after all, the difference between the top and bottom still exists.

"I said, Master Xie, I'm busy, what are you asking me to do at the docks? Alas, isn't this a waste of time? ”

There are also people who do not observe etiquette, Jiang Bin has not finished his sentence, and before everyone in the Dai family has time to come forward to salute, Dai Ziyan ran out unkempt, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

Dai Li and the others were already shocked by the murderous aura on the dock, but when they saw their long-lost acquaintances, they were not happy at all, their faces turned from white to blue, and the clan uncle was still old-tempered, but he was so unkind to the champion Hou...... It won't affect the entire Dai family, right?

Even Daddy Dai's lips trembled twice, his younger brother's appearance, no matter how he looks like he has been treated preferentially, could it be that he is really wrong, the reputation of this Hou Ye Lixian craftsman is all false?

"Master Dai, you came just in time, these ......" The Dai family was frightened, but everyone else was used to it, and Xie Hong himself was even more unimpressed, although he was also very strange, because Mao was out of sight, Dai Ziyan made this virtue, obviously he was a shipwright, not a rag.

"Oh, Ziyu, you're here too, well, if it's okay, I'll go back to the dock first." Dai Ziyan looked up and recognized his own family, but obviously he hadn't recovered from the state of fugue yet, and his expression didn't change at all, he just nodded indifferently and turned around to leave.

Turning his head to look at the stunned Dai family, Xie Hong was also speechless, the temper of the technical maniac is very strange, yes, but it can't be blamed to this extent, right? Well, it's a verification of the body, and ...... Xie Hong glanced up at the watchtower, and saw that the sentry made a gesture that was normal, he thought about it, there should be no problem, let's take it first.

"It's just in time, Zihao, Ziyu...... Come with me! Xie Hong turned his head and was about to speak, but suddenly heard another roar in his ears, it turned out that Dai Ziyan turned back again, and he didn't know what he thought, he was so excited that his face was flushed, and he pulled a few old men beside Dai Li to drag them in the direction of the dock.

"Third brother, what are you doing here, don't be rude, second brother, look at this ......"

Dai Ziyan has a lot of strength, although it is one-to-many, it still makes those old men untenable, one of them is in a hurry, but he can't persuade this clan brother, fortunately, when he peeked at Xie Hong's expression, he didn't see anything unusual, so he turned to Dai Ziyu for instructions.

Dai Ziyu also found that something was wrong, the appearance of the clan brother was obviously related to his own surname, not being abused by others, he yelled in front of the Hou Ye, and even made the decision on behalf of the Hou Ye, and the faces of those soldiers on the dock did not show any different colors, and they were obviously used to it.

That is to say...... The reputation of Hou Ye Lixian craftsman is not only true, but also there is something unfinished, so the Dai family's gambling this time is eighty percent right. He nodded to those clansmen imperceptibly, and motioned for them to leave with Dai Ziyan, as for where to go, with the surname of the clan brother, eighty percent is a dock.

"Master Dai, this is not the place to talk, please come with Ben Hou." Dai Ziyan made a fuss, not only relieved the Dai family, but Xie Hong was also very happy, Dai Ziyan would turn back and arrest people, obviously those old men were also shipwrights, and the level was not low, otherwise the old man would not be so excited.

"On the dock, there is Brother Lao Jiang, and I also invite Dai Gongzi to preside over here."

"Yes."

When he first got on the dock, in the face of that kind of battle, Dai Ziyu also forced himself to be calm and did not pay attention to his surroundings. After leaving the dock area, he saw that there were workshops all around, and there were two railroad tracks connected to each other.

"Master Hou, the villain has something unclear, can he ......" Xie Hong's attitude has always been very easy-going, so Dai Ziyu hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to ask his doubts.

"Oh? Master Dai doesn't need to be polite, just ask. Xie Hong's surname was originally easy-going, his mood was very good, and his tone was even kinder, which made Dai Ziyu feel flattered.

"Hou Ye's title is really killing the villain, in front of the Hou Ye, what dare the villain call the master? Please also ask Hou Ye to just call the villain's name. "But he is not a technical maniac, as the head of the family, if he doesn't understand the world, the Dai family will not be able to survive for so long in the hands of the Hong family, a Jiangnan family.

Xie Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Dai doesn't need to be so restrained, Master Dai has been living here in Lushun for several months, and he has always been informal, not to mention, Ben Hou is not a strict person, and he is invited today, just to ask Mr. Dai about his plans, and to make arrangements." ”

"The villain trespassed, Master Hou, when the villain's fleet came, it was still far away, but Lord Hou had already noticed it, I don't know how Lord Hou found out?"

Dai Ziyu knew very well that this issue should be confidential, so he hesitated for so long, but he also had his own considerations. From Lushun's reaction and response, he saw a strong sense of vigilance, and he also knew what the other party was guarding against.

Although the Dai family is not a big family in Jiangnan, and he is not qualified to participate in secrets, he can also detect some signs from the overall atmosphere and the movements of the major families, so it is also appropriate for the Dai family to be guarded against when they arrive in Lushun at this time.

Of course, just as Xie Hong thought, a group of craftsmen would not cause much trouble. However, Dai Ziyu didn't want to just be a craftsman, at least his branch was not a shipwright, so he wanted to gain trust faster.

If a newcomer wants to be trusted, in addition to meritorious service, he can only use his name, if he can betray the Jiangnan family, Dai Ziyu will definitely do it, but the Dai family does not have that ability, so he plans to use another method, that is, to share secrets.

This approach is a bit risky, but if you can be trusted from the beginning, it is clear that the starting point will be higher, and the future achievements will naturally be higher.

"Well...... this" Xie Hong frowned, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Dai is interested in this, doesn't he have experience in naval warfare?" ”

"Hou Ye is wise." was casually told by Xie Hong, Dai Ziyu was surprised and delighted, surprised that the rumors were true, this young and weak Hou Ye really has the ability to penetrate people's hearts, and he is happy that his intentions are seen, so he can save himself from temptation.

Xie Hong smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it's nothing, there is a watchtower, and there are sentries in the watchtower who have been staring at the movement of the sea, and the reason why they can see so far is because of the clairvoyant mirror in his hand." ”
