Chapter 56: Goodbye Li Dan
The attendant led the three of them into a Japanese-style hall, where a young attendant sat next to the back door, and on the top of the hall sat a middle-aged man wearing Japanese-style silk feather weaving. Li Tu looked at the middle-aged man www.biquge.info and secretly said that since he was sitting at the top, his status was obviously not low, but he didn't know what kind of character he was.
The three of them sat down at the bottom of the head, and after waiting for half a stick of incense, the side door was opened.
"The Toyo ship is old!"
With a cappella from the attendant, Li Dan walked in through the side door and sat at the top of the hall.
Li Tu bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Maritime merchant Li Tu, I've seen the old ship!" ”
Li Dan looked at Li Tu carefully and asked coldly, "What are you looking for me again?" ”
Li Tu bowed slightly and said loudly: "We want to buy the old banner of the Oriental ship!" ”
Li Dan sneered, and was about to speak, but suddenly coughed. coughed a few times, but finally stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Buy a flag? You're brave enough to speak! After a pause, he said coldly: "You are quite powerful, you really killed Chen Shengning." ”
"Hey! Among my disciples, Chen Shengning was the first to die! Death by your hands! ”
Li Tu lowered his head and said loudly: "The old man of the ship is angry! ”
Looking up at the middle-aged man sitting at the top, Li Tu asked loudly, "Dare to ask who this is?" ”
Li Dan snorted coldly and said loudly: "This is my son Li Guozhu." ”
Hearing Li Dan's words, Li Tu's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Since the old man's son is also here, I will open the skylight and say something." The ship is getting old, and it's time to think about what happens after the death. If the old man is gone for a day, His Excellency Li Guozhu, can you stop those disciples of the old boat? Li Tu said loudly: "In my opinion, if the boat elder is gone, all the disciples of the boat old man will go out independently and go their own way!" ”
Hearing this, Li Dan, who was sitting at the top, changed his face.
As a traverser, Li Tu knows best what happened after Li Dan's death. After Li Dan's death, Li Dan's disciples went their separate ways. In the history of later generations, as soon as Li Dan died, there was nothing about the Li family on the Oriental Sea. The so-called Li Guozhu cannot be found in history at all.
Hearing Li Tu's words, Li Dan stared at Li Tu.
I know my own family affairs best. Li Guozhu's prestige and ability, Li Dan obviously understands. Although what Li Tu said was ugly, it did hit the nail on the head.
Li Tukankan said: "This Chen Shengning is the most unruly one. The old man of the ship is still there, so he calls himself 'Marquis of the Broken Sea', robbing everywhere and making enemies everywhere. I guess not a penny of the proceeds of his robbery was given to the shipman. If the old man is gone, will he still obey the orders of the Li family? Maybe he will have to turn against the Li family. Killing him under Xia is not to kill a disciple of the old boat, but to kill a hero who will betray the Li family sooner or later! ”
Li Tu shook his sleeves and said loudly: "I don't think the boat elder will be angry for a tyrant who will betray the door sooner or later." If the old man sells the flag to me, I, Li Tu, will be a friend of the Li family from now on. In the future, if you can help, you will do your best. Since he can kill Chen Shengning, he naturally has a certain ability. Now Zai Xia is already the owner of two lucky boats, and being a friend in Xia is not a loss to the Li family. ”
Hearing Li Tu's words, Li Dan snorted coldly.
"Clever tongue!"
After a long pause, Li Dan said coldly: "You go, I won't sell the flag to you!" ”
Li Tu glanced at Li Dan and said, "If the old man doesn't sell his flag to the subordinates, it is possible to fight with the disciples of the old man again!" ”
Li Dan glanced at Li Tu and said coldly: "Then it depends on your ability!" ”
Hearing this, Li Tu frowned and stopped arguing. He bowed and walked out of the hall with Xu San.
Seeing Li Tu walking out of the courtyard, Li Guozhu said anxiously to Li Dan: "Father, what he said makes some sense. None of your disciples have me in their eyes. Where will I be able to command in the future? Sell the flag to him, make a friend, maybe it will be a help in the future! ”
Hearing Li Guozhu's words, Li Dan coughed a few more times and scolded loudly: "I'm still alive!" ”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Li Dan said loudly: "I'm still alive, just sell the flag to the people who killed my disciples, those guys are about to turn their faces against me." What else do I do to the old Toyo ship! ”
Hearing his father's scolding, Li Guozhu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak out again.
Li Dan looked at the corridor that Li Tu passed by when he left, and said coldly: "This Li Tu, his knowledge is really extraordinary, and he can see through my Li family's family affairs at a glance. If he is not the owner, I will certainly take him under your account anyway for your encouragement. It's a pity that Xiao Xiangui has already used the position of the owner to entrap him, and now that he has given birth to wings, he will no longer be willing to live under others. ”
Li Guozhu also raised his head, looked at the direction Li Tu left, and sighed.
#####
Li Tu did not buy the flag, so he took two of his men around the woods near Beigang to learn about the local soil and geology. He rented three more horses in the harbor and rode them around the harbor to observe the situation in this small Liuqiu. I rode my horse and ran for two hours, and everywhere I saw were wilderness and woods, except for a Shengfan tribe, not a single civilized person was seen.
This Taiwanese treasure island is completely a virgin land waiting to be developed.
It wasn't until it was dark that Li Tu returned to the ship and commanded the fleet to leave Beigang and sail for Japan.
The fleet passed north from Beigangtao, passed through Jilongyu and Pengjiashan, and took Diaoyu Island. From Diaoyu Island, it passes through Huangju Island, Chikan Island, Gumi Mountain, Ma? Mountains to the Ryukyus. After a short supply and rest in the Ryukyus, we went east to take Bishan Mountain to Huangshan, to Daluo Mountain, and then passed through Nanato Mountain, Yafu Mountain, and Mashan Mountain, and went north into Kagoshima and Tsubo, Japan.
The journey was uneventful, and there were no storms or pirates.
Entering the harbor of Hejinfang, the crew was jubilant, celebrating the successful arrival of the ship. Li Tu fulfilled his promise and gave each of them a reward of ten taels of silver. The old boatmen were happy, and the new sailors were even more happy. These new sailors were all born in poor families, and they were forced to run to Li Tu in Zhangzhou, and now they have earned ten taels of silver at once, and they all feel that the silver on the sea is really good, and some of them are even so excited that they burst into tears.
After the inspectors of the Satsuma clan boarded the ship for inspection, the Zaiko and the Crescent entered the port under the guidance of the guide ship. There were a few lucky boats parked in the harbor, as well as a Spanish galleon. On the dock, more than a dozen samurai were already standing to welcome the arrival of Li Tu's fleet.
Seeing that the Zaixing entered the port with the Crescent Moon and two ships came at a time, Naomitsu Miyano Castle, the head of the Tsubo Prefecture, sighed that this door-to-door business was booming again, and his face was full of joy. But seeing that there was no Xiao Xiangui in the team of fleet officials, but Li Tu led the team to get off the ship, Miyanoshiro Naomitsu was a little strange, and asked curiously: "Didn't Lord Xiao come this time?" ”
The general translated the words of Naomitsu Miyagi, and Li Tu arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiao has retired, and now he will succeed him as the master of the ship." ”
Hearing this, Miyanoshiro Naomitsu smiled and said, "Then I'll congratulate Master Li." Are these two boats owned by the owner of Lee? Is the other one new? ”
Li Tu replied honestly: "The new ship is called the Crescent, and it was snatched from the pirates!" ”
Hearing this, Miyanoshiro was stunned. After looking at Li Tu, he raised his head and laughed, and said again and again: "Master Li Bo Young Hero!" Wuyun is prosperous! ”
