When Song Ke saw Li Guo's fleet, he was afraid but not panicked, and when he saw that the people sent by Li Guo told Li Guo that he had no intention of attacking them, Song Ke was completely relieved.

Although Zheng Zhilong's power gave Song Ke some confidence, and although Song Ke was also unruly, Li Guo's ferocity in beating Annan and robbing Malacca still made Song Ke dare not make a mistake. As for whether the purpose of Li coming over was as he said, there was no conflict with himself, Song Ke didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Early the next morning, Ma Shiyao took more than 2,000 soldiers to get off the ship for protection, and then Zhang Ding and others escorted Li Guo off the ship with men and horses.

Song Ke had long been standing on the shore, waiting for him. Seeing Li Guo coming ashore, Song Ke hurriedly stepped forward to call Qian, and said, "I have admired General Li's tiger name for a long time, and Song Ke, the general manager of Qian, under General Zheng Zhilong, has asked General Li for peace." ”

Although Song Ke's identity cannot be compared with Li Guo, Li Guo still smiled, "Hurry up, Song Qian doesn't have to be polite, although I and your general Zheng Zhilong have not met each other, but we also have correspondence with each other and admire each other, so we can't be regarded as outsiders." ”

Song Ke got up and complimented, "General Li Lixian, corporal, young general admires and admires." General Li, the young general has already prepared wine and food, and specially invited General Li to appreciate it. ”

Nie Xin and the others next to him were really concerned about Li Guo's safety at this time, worried that the dishes were poisonous, and said on the side, "Master Hu, we still have important matters, why don't we wait until we finish our work and then disturb Mr. Song Qian?" ”

Li Guo understood their thoughts, so he said, "It's okay, I'm not busy with eating and drinking, Mr. Song Qian." We won't bother. ”

Song Ke smiled and said, "General Li, please take care of yourself, but there is something useful." Please command, general. ”

Li Guo smiled and nodded, and left.

I saw Li Guo walking away. Song Ke's face changed, and he scolded, "Damn, I've been preparing all night, and I won't eat yet!" If you don't eat and pull down, we won't serve anymore. ”

Song Ke waved his hand, took his own people to eat and drink, and sent people to closely monitor Li Guo's movements.

At this time, Ma Shiyao, who disembarked first, had already set up camp in Dulu Port, because he had to go ashore to check if there were any rubber trees? So. Li Guo did not live on the ship.

Li Guo wanted to find the rubber tree immediately, but the girl and her brother who had been staying by his side suddenly disappeared. Li Guo ordered someone to look for it, but found that the brother and sister had taken off their bright yellow coats at some point, changed into ordinary clothes, and mixed in Li Guo's entourage, behaving extremely low-key.

After Li Guo settled down, he called the brother and sister.

"Now that you're in Dulu, it's time for you to show me where the rubber trees come from." Li Guo said.

The girl said, "Rubber? From the port of Tulu to the inland, except for a part of the sandalwood trees. The rest is all the kind of tree that sheds tears, which is what you call a rubber tree. ”

"Huh? Really? Take me to see it! What is Rubber Tree? "Li Guo really doesn't know.

The girl led Li Guo out of the tent, pointed to a few big trees, and said, "Isn't this it?" ”

Li Guo looked and saw that these trees were really not small. It can be about 30 meters tall, and the branches and leaves are not luxuriant, with three small leaves on the finger-like compound leaves. If it weren't for the rubber tree, Li Guo wouldn't have recognized it.

Li Guo pulled out his knife. He was going to cut a knife at the tree, and he wanted to see it. Is this a rubber tree or not?

But the girl whispered, "Lighter, it hurts to see this tree." ”

Li Guo felt funny, but when he saw that the girl was not joking, his heart moved, and he thought to himself, this girl is kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

Li Guo drew a furrow diagonally on the tree, and in an instant, the furrow began to slowly ooze white liquid. It seems that it is really a rubber tree, and Li Guo is excited.

"Jiang Fa, take a few people to mark these two trees into the ditch, and use a bowl to collect the white liquid oozing from the ditch." Li Guo ordered.

Jiang Fa agreed, and took a few personal soldiers into action.

Li Guo turned to the girl, "Girl, thank you so much, this can come in handy!" I said you could help me find the rubber tree, and I would do you a favor, and it always worked. ”

The girl thought for a moment, "I haven't remembered it yet, but it's good to think of suing you later." ”

Li Guo smiled and nodded.

If you find a rubber tree, you have to collect it, which requires a lot of manpower. Li Guo thought of the brother and sister.

"I want to collect the sap of this rubber tree, I see that you are familiar with this place, if you are interested in helping me, I am willing to ask you to be my steward here." Li Guo consulted the opinions of two people.

The two siblings looked at each other and immediately agreed.

Li Guo smiled and said to the two of them, "You refused to say your names along the way, and now that you are doing things for me, it is time to say your names!" ”

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Pu'an, and my brother's name is Pusheng." ”

So, with Li Guo's strong support, Pu'an and Pusheng quickly got in touch with the locals, and collected a large amount of rubber glue, and the half-dried rubber was loaded into a whole boat.

Li Guo was satisfied, and was ready to return to Guangxi immediately, process raw rubber into mature rubber, and carry a large number of rubber saplings, ready to go back to plant.

Before leaving, Li Guo left a small colonel with a hundred Tiger Army soldiers, prepared enough ammunition for them, and cooperated with Pusheng and Pu'an to pick rubber here.

Li Guo instructed the little school, "The rubber here has a great effect, I only keep a hundred of you here, but I don't want people to know the importance of this thing." In addition, there are more than 2,000 people stationed here Zheng Zhilong, and your number is too small, think twice when you encounter trouble, and rarely cause trouble. ”

The Colonel nodded in agreement.

Li Guo said to Pu Sheng and Pu An again: "This qiē is all thanks to you, and I will not forget you in the future." ”

Pu Sheng said, "Please General Li leave us some weapons, the mountains here are high and dense, there are many beasts and poisonous snakes, and we can defend ourselves!" ”

Li Guo left them some cold weapons such as swords, and then waved goodbye.

At the moment when Li Guo was offshore, Pu'an suddenly ran to Li Guo's side, put his ear close to Li Guo's ear and said, "My full name is Pu'an. Honest. Donggu. ”

"Okay, I remember." Li Guo nodded, not understanding the meaning of the name.

In fact, Pu'an is the name, Dun is the honorific title, and Donggu is the unique name of the royal family. The girl Pu'an and Pusheng were actually the royal family of Dulu, and when Zheng Zhilong slaughtered the royal family of Dulu in the first few years, they happened to be absent and escaped the catastrophe. Because over the years, their appearance has changed so much that they are no longer recognizable to outsiders unless they are very familiar with them.

Pu'an and Pusheng always wanted to return to Dulu and avenge the Dulu people, and now they are back as Li Guo's subordinates.

Everyone on the dock watched Li Guo's boat move away, and their moods were different.

And Zheng Zhilong's subordinate Song Ke also came to the dock to see Li Guo off, and after Li Guo left, he looked at Pu Sheng, as if he had an indescribable feeling, he looked at Pu Sheng suspiciously, and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
