At this time, half of the guards around Wu Tianxiao were indigenous young people from Dongfan Island. Among them, the natives led by Taiside, there are more than a dozen fierce warriors such as Zou Datan and Dadalu. Under the bloodbath of Mona Dao, these natives can also cover the tribesmen's escape to Hanxi Village, which shows their bravery. You know, it's not easy for people to survive the bloodbath.

It's just that these people are not suitable to be the leaders of naval warfare. First, the indigenous brain lacks the wisdom of the Han Chinese, and it is difficult to rise to the rank of large-scale leader, and second, language is also a problem. Although these natives can now communicate simply, it is impossible to use them for command. What's worse is that. These natives are all mountain and forest families, and they have a natural fear of the sea, and it is good to be able to fight on ships, but they don't know how to drive a sea ship at all. Therefore, when the sea ships were all renovated, even if Wu Tianxiao needed the captain very much now, he couldn't let these natives lead the boat alone. Therefore, when Tan Lun and even Shen Nanshan were promoted to captains, these natives still stayed by Wu Tianxiao's side as guards.

Of course. For Tyside, they prefer to stay by Wu Tianxiao's side. Because you don't have to worry about being a guard, you just have to do what you are told to do with brute force, and that's what they're good at. And the other half is not an ordinary person, they are all young people who originally followed Wu Tianxiao. And in many battles, they have already been honed into elite soldiers, not to mention that they can get the best martial arts guidance by Wu Tianxiao's side.

Then again. Wu Tianxiao had just arrived in Zhoushan, and he wanted to go to Jia Yuan first to familiarize himself with the situation, but he didn't want his fleet to have just arrived at Shuangyu Port, but Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao came to the dock with Jia Yuan to see him.

Wu Tianxiao and them are both old acquaintances, so they are not polite, and as soon as they meet, they asked, "Lord Qianhu, Lord Tang." But what's going on this time? ”

That Tang Xianyao had obviously already thought of his words, so he said first: "Alas. This time, it is somewhat to blame Wu Ye for being less sophisticated. Didn't I tell you that if you want to do business, you can't be less filial. Wu Ye is good. After the New Year, you have a lot more business to Zhoushan. Especially sea salt, it is sold by the government, and you are so arrogant to ship it over and sell it in a boat, and I and Lord Qianhu can't hide it from you. But the capital eunuch Ryan watched it closely, he found out the list of contraband you bought in previous years, so he used this matter to embarrass me and Chen Qianhu, making it difficult for the two of us to deal with it. Tang Xianyao said that it was difficult to do, but he couldn't see any difficulty on his expression, and it was estimated that the bribe was hidden.

Chen Qianhe said like a double reed: "Brother, don't be too careful." Brother, I spent a lot of money for this matter this time, and invited two famous prostitutes from Suzhou and Hangzhou, Yang Yinglian and Wang Cuiqiao. With these two people present, as long as the eunuch is happy, it doesn't matter where he goes. ”

Wu Tianxiao couldn't help but blurt out when he heard this: "This eunuch is a eunuch, do you want to invite a prostitute?" ”

Chen Qianhe complained: "Brother, look at you, what you said." The second daughter of Yang Wang is a performer who doesn't sell herself, and she wants to bud for others, but she doesn't have those tens of millions of taels of silver, and she can't even touch the edge of the bed. These two people are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they know everything about poetry and singing. Inviting people to come, listen to a tune, and set off the scene is also an elegant thing. What's the matter, come to the wine table like this, the mood is good, people will be happy, and then the matter will be easy to do. It's just that...... This money...... But it took a lot. ”

Wu Tianxiao looked at Chen Qianhe's intoxicated appearance, and scolded his mother in his heart: Dog's day. I'm afraid that if you Chen Qianhe want to take the opportunity to get wet, you will meet those two famous prostitutes in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Will you still pay for it? It's not to be counted on the master's head. It's good. If the dead eunuch didn't ask for too much, he would endure it first, and when Lao Tzu's strength grew, he would have to come back with interest. But if the dead eunuch's hand was too long. Hum. This time, I'll let you see the blood, don't think that I'm easy to mess with, uncle.

Wu Tianxiao was thinking. Chen Qianhe's mind may have really been guessed, and he continued with a weak heart: "Everyone has made an appointment, and we will meet at the Yuelai Inn tomorrow." Brothers. Let's hurry up and go first, there is still some distance back to Ningbo City, and it is not good to delay. ”

Wu Tianxiao replied: "No hurry. We took a sea boat for an hour or two to Ningbo Mansion. I still have some cargo on board, and when I unload the ship, it's not too late to go. ”

Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao obviously don't like to take a sea boat, you must know that these two people have already designated Wu Tianxiao as a pirate, and what they are most afraid of is to take a boat with Wu Tianxiao. Tang Xianyao said: "Since Wu Ye is fast in making sea ships, it is better for this official to go back first." This official can't be a sea vessel, so he should go back and prepare first. ”

Chen Qianhe also arrived: "Brother." Master Tang and I are here today to give you a special reminder. This is all agreed upon, and it must not be sloppy. Otherwise, something will happen at that time, but it will not be able to spend money evenly. Since my brother is going to make a sea boat, then Master Tang and I should go back and prepare first. Remember. Tomorrow afternoon, Ningbo Mansion Yuelai Inn, you must not be late. ”

Wu Tianxiao handed it over: "Little brother remembers." ”

After Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao left. Wu Tianxiao took Jia Yuan, Tan Lun and others to the warehouse in Luomen Village. After making some preparations in Luomen Village, the group rested for the night, and the next morning drove the Tamsui to Ningbo. Wu Dayou, Yang Hongju, Chen Minxin, and Chen Minzhi drove other sea vessels to various sea areas to check the situation. At the same time, it was agreed that no matter how things develop, before the sun set on the second day, they must return to Shuangyu Port to gather.

It was almost noon when Wu Tianxiao arrived in Ningbo City, and everyone had lunch first. Later, Wu Tianxiao took Taiside, Zou Datan, Dadalu, etc., more than a dozen strong men with a mixture of Han and soil to wander around, and took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the situation in Ningbo. Because Wu Tianxiao is ready today, if the talks are good, everyone will be safe for the time being. If the negotiation is not good, then prepare to kill this eunuch and force Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao to do things for themselves. Then he captured Zhoushan County and controlled the main islands of Zhoushan, so he was prepared to kill today. Just in case, the situation in Ningbo Mansion is to find out, and if it fails, it is better to escape.

Wu Tianxiao and his entourage of more than a dozen people wandered around for a long time, and when they approached Youshi, they came to the Yuelai Inn, handed over the horses to the inn Xiaoer and entered the hall. Wu Tianxiao asked Taiside, Zou Datan, Dadalu and others to ask for two tables in the hall, ordered some wine and food, and asked them to wait in the hall. It was agreed that if something happened, Wu Tianxiao would blow the whistle, and then they would rush up to the second floor to answer. Then he went to the private room booked by Chen Qianhe on the second floor.

As soon as Wu Tianxiao arrived at the door of the private room, he had already heard a pleasant female voice, singing softly, and during which he also heard Chen Qianhe's familiar cheer. Xiao Er, who led the way, made a report, and opened the door of the private room to let Wu Tianxiao in. Wu Tianxiao entered the private room, but saw that the furnishings in the private room were extremely extravagant. Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao have already been included, and on a small stage in front of the private room, a beautiful woman is playing the pipa and singing Jiangnan tunes, and there is another beautiful woman accompanying her during the banquet, and the two maids are waiting for the left and right, and there is no one else.

When Chen Qianhe saw Wu Tianxiao coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him enthusiastically: "Ah." Brothers. See the smile, laugh the laugh. I waited with Tang Zhixian for a long time, and I was really bored, so I asked Cui Qiao and Ying Lian to sing a few words to relieve their boredom. ”
