The two were hungry and waited until the afternoon when they saw a waiter walk in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Xiangui thought that he was finally going to summon him, so he quickly stood up and went with the waiter.

The waiter didn't mean to lead the way, but just bowed slightly, and said with a cold expression:

"The head of the family has something to do today, and he can't summon the guests, so please come back the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Xiangui was hungry and anxious, and when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while.

Li Tu looked outside, and saw that in the corridor, the guests were walking out one by one. Obviously, Li Dan didn't see any guests at all today.

Li Tu took a breath and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Oriental ship is really majestic. ”

Helplessly, the two returned to the Beitian dormitory with gifts.

Early in the morning of the third day, Xiao Xiangui and Li Tu came to Li Dan's mansion again.

was taken to the waiting room again, and Xiao Xiangui and Li Tu could only wait patiently.

However, unlike the last time, this time, the two saw people coming in and out of the corridor from time to time. Obviously, Li Dan is meeting guests today.

When Xiao Xiangui saw such a scene, he became more and more nervous, and kept pacing back and forth in the room. Unable to help but be anxious, Xiao Xiangui asked Li Tu: "Do you say that the old man will sell the flag to me?" ”

Li Tu closed his eyes and replied, "How do I know?" ”

Finally, after waiting for an hour, the waiter came to Xiao Xiangui's room and said that the Oriental Ship had summoned Xiao Xiangui.

With a drum beating in his heart, Xiao Xiangui forced himself to calm down, followed the waiter through the corridor, walked to the next courtyard, and walked into a large spacious room.

The room was very spacious, more than 100 square meters, and the roof was higher than the average house. Katana swords and Japanese armor are placed on both sides of the room as decorations. In the innermost part of the room there was a low platform with no one on it, and an ornate screen was placed. Outside the room knelt two attendants, and in the middle of the room knelt a man dressed as a samurai. The samurai was not wearing a katana, and his face was expressionless and he was facing Li Tu and Xiao Xiangui.

Seeing this outright Japanese-style pattern, Li Tu was amazed, and secretly said that Li Dan had lived in Hirado for a long time and had almost become a Japanese.

Xiao Xiangui walked into the room and knelt on the tatami mat with his head bowed. Li Tu was helpless, and he could only kneel behind.

Halfway through, Li Tu heard footsteps in front of him. The man dressed as a samurai and kneeling in the middle of the room suddenly shouted in Chinese: "The old ship of the Oriental Ocean has arrived!" ”

Li Tu looked up and saw a short old man walking in through the side door, it was Li Dan, the old man of the Oriental ship.

Li Dan held a folded folding fan in his hand, walked slowly to the platform, and sat cross-legged on the platform.

He looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, not tall, very thin, with a wrinkled face, white hair, and a light yellow samurai haoori, dressed like a Japanese nobleman.

Seeing Li Dan coming, Xiao Xiangui handed the gift he brought to the warrior who was sitting on his side. The warrior took the gift, walked up to Li Dan in small steps, and opened the gift package.

Inside the gift package was a deck of Go. This game of Go uses Qiongzhou rosewood as the chessboard, and the high-grade Hetian jade and black onyx as the chess pieces, which is very valuable.

Li Dan likes Go. He laughed when he saw the gift he wanted.

Looking at Xiao Xiangui, who was kneeling on the ground, Li Dan asked in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, "Are you Xiao Xiangui?" ”

Xiao Xiangui dared to raise his head and replied loudly: "It's me!" ”

Li Dan asked lightly: "What did you come to see me for?" ”

When Xiao Xiangui heard the question, he fell to the ground again and said loudly: "I want to buy the old banner of the Oriental ship!" ”

"Oh?"

Li Dan looked at Xiao Xiangui and asked, "Xiao Xiangui, this is the third year that you have traveled to Japan." In the first two years, you didn't come to buy my banner, why do you want to buy it now? ”

Although this Li Dan is high, he knows everything about maritime affairs between China and Japan. Not only did he know Xiao Xiangui, a small maritime businessman, but even Xiao Xiangui had been running for a few years.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiangui knew that Li Dan was powerful, and his heart became even more nervous, and a few sweats flowed from his forehead. Not daring to deceive Li Dan, Xiao Xiangui prostrate on the ground and said loudly: "The boat was robbed by Chen Shengning's men and horses in Zhangzhou, but fortunately, the crew was brave and repelled Chen Shengning's men and horses. ”

"But..."

"But on the way back, I am afraid that I will be ambushed by Chen Shengning. There are few people on the boat, and Chen Shengning is no match. ”

"So I can only turn to the old man of the Oriental ship to buy the Li family's banner, so that Chen Shengning will not dare to rob me again."

Hearing this, Li Dan on the platform was silent.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Chen Shengning, you are my disciple. ”

"He robbed you, and I won't help him. But I can't give you the flag and cheer you on. ”

"I can't control this matter, you can go back."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiangui seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the sky, and his face instantly turned pale.

Suddenly climbing forward, Xiao Xiangui raised his head and said loudly: "I am willing to pay 5,000 taels to buy a flag!" ”

Li Dan did not speak.

Xiao Xiangui's face was even worse, he took another step forward, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to pay 10,000 taels to buy a flag!" ”

Li Dan still didn't speak.

In this era, many of the armed maritime merchants on the ocean were both merchants and thieves. Although Chen Shengning was an extremely vicious pirate, Li Dan still admitted that he was his disciple. Obviously, between his own disciple and the stranger Xiao Xiangui, Li Dan chose to support Chen Shengning. Even if Xiao Xiangui loses his net worth, Li Dan will not support Xiao Xiangui.

Seeing Xiao Xiangui's desperate appearance, Li Tu took a step forward and said loudly: "If the old man is willing to sell the flag to us, it will be between our Zaixing and Chen Shengning in Zhangzhou, and there will be no fight!" ”

Hearing Li Tu's words, Li Dan was silent.

The samurai, who was kneeling in the middle of the room, turned around and asked in a loud voice to Li Tu, "Spare a fight?" Do you mean that if the old man doesn't sell the flag to you, you are sure that you will win against Chen Shengning? ”

Li Tu said loudly: "I am eighty percent sure of it!" ”

The samurai furrowed his brows and asked loudly, "In that case, you are threatening us, meaning that we should stop from the precipice and not make a big deal out of it?" ”

Without waiting for Li Tu to answer this question, Li Dan, who was doing it, sneered, as if he was laughing at Li Tu's fearlessness. Turning his head around, Li Dan asked Li Tu, "What's your name?" ”

Li Dan raised his head and replied: "I am downloading the second shop Li Tu of Xinghao!" ”

"Li Tu!"

Glancing at Li Tu, Li Dan silently read Li Tu's name, and then said expressionlessly: "I know, the next group!" ”

Hearing this, the warrior who was kneeling in the middle quickly ran in front of Li Dan, took back Xiao Xiangui's gift, and handed it back to Xiao Xiangui. Then he knelt down again, looked ahead and shouted, "Next group of guests, please!" ”

Two waiters standing outside the door walked in and stood beside Xiao Xiangui, signaling that it was time for him to go.

Determined to protect his disciples, Li Dan didn't say a word to Xiao Xiangui, and was already about to send off the guests.

As if he had lost his life, Xiao Xiangui slammed his head on the ground and shouted loudly: "Oriental ship boss, please save my life!" You can't die without help! ”

Seeing that Xiao Xiangui was in despair, the waiter kneeling on his side looked at Li Dan.

Li Dan was still expressionless, and said again: "The next group!" ”

Xiao Xiangui raised his head in a daze, and said loudly in despair: "Elder Dongyang, you can't see death without help!" I'm willing to pay 10,000 taels to buy a flag! 10,000 taels! ”

Xiao Xiangui was unwilling to accept this fact, and kept shouting, but the two waiters standing next to Xiao Xiangui no longer gave Xiao Xiangui a chance to shout. Seeing that Xiao Xiangui was reluctant to leave, the two waiters used their hands to put Xiao Xiangui up. Even took off and pulled, and the two of them dragged Xiao Xiangui out of the Li family's mansion all the way and threw him out of the door.

Li Tu didn't want to be held up, so he only took Xiao Xiangui's Go and walked out behind.

Xiao Xiangui was thrown to the ground, lying outside Li's house, motionless, unable to come back to his senses for half a day.
