Volume 1 There Are Guest Stars in the East Chapter 56 There Are Birds in Xingbei, and Their Names Are Chicks (2)
Bang ......Bang
There was a sound of an anchor.
Ships left the port, berths were vacant, and the ships crowded outside the dock were in an uproar.
"Cai Zhao!
On the Wanli Royal, Zhang Huaitu shouted to Cai Zhao, who had just come down from the first floor.
Cai Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he saw a boatload of dozens of tall Saisi crew members surrounding Zhang Huaitu, and at this moment, Qi Shushu turned his eyes to him.
Cai Zhao didn't have time to think about it, and looked at Zhang Yao, who was also confused, and swept towards him in a few steps, grabbed his waist with one arm, and ran to the side of the boat.
The Saisi crew of Zhang Huaitu, who surrounded him, wanted to chase after him, but the snake worm in the center shook his head, reached into his arms and took out a bamboo tube with a drawstring.
"If Your Excellency really wants to pay my brothers, why not be separated from Ling Lang for a year and a half?"
The snake said to Zhang Huaitu, while pulling the rope on the bamboo tube, and with a chirp, red smoke erupted from the top of the bamboo tube, which was a thin strand at first, and only became longer and thicker when it floated to a high place, like an optimus pillar.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Huaitu sensed that something was wrong, and reached out to grab the bamboo tube, but the snake worm threw it away and landed on the deck, and the red smoke still didn't stop.
Zhang Huaitu was like a dog chasing bones, and hurriedly rushed to the bamboo tube, but was held up by several tall Saisi crew members, and his legs were weak.
It turned out that he had always thought that he was an exotic barbarian who had been tricked by himself, and he had been playing another abacus. Who is this smoke connected with? Zhang Huaitu couldn't think of anything else but the person who was the concubine on the dragon chair.
Could it be that his agreement with the Fandong pirates was not to intercept and kill Zhang Huaitu at sea in the first place, but to send Zhang Huaitu to Jinding in its entirety? This doesn't make sense, if that's the case, the tattooed pirate leader shouldn't have released him from the cage in the first place, but would only hand him over to his younger brother with the cage, and transport him to Jindingjing together with the beasts in the cabin.
Zhang Huaitu was caught by the Sissi, he couldn't do anything, only his mind kept spinning, he deduced while refuting, just hoping to find a sentence, a sentence that could make the snake in front of him change his mind.
"I will give you double, no, ten times the promised reward, and when the prince of Changyang returns to the throne, he will definitely seal the easternmost Jihu Lake to your people!"
But he really couldn't think of anything, so he had to plead with such an ugly face.
But the snake was still expressionless, and the chimney was still in the bow of the boat, swishing out of smoke.
Under the boat, Cai Zhao was already holding the chapter, and jumped to the shore between the wooden stakes of the boat on the water.
The Seci crew on the ship looked at the snake inquisitively, but he still shook his head, his head turned away, and he couldn't see his expression.
Zhang Huaitu, who was framed, struggled to straighten up, and saw Cai Zhao dragging Zhang who was turning back vigorously into the bustling crowd, and disappeared after a while.
This bodyguard really chose the right one, and he could see the situation clearly at a glance. Zhang Huaitu was relieved to see his beloved son get out, but when he thought that he still had his life to worry about, he came back with a tight breath.
β...... Snake, if you are worried that the prince of Changyang will not be able to regain the throne, you let me go now, and the prince's friends in the capital can also pay you first...... There is no way to do the land, but the money can be given to you first, how much the concubine gave to your brother, I can double it for you, you don't have to wait for the prince of Changyang to regain the throne, ...... right away It will be given to you in a few days at most!"
At least his son escaped, Zhang Huaitu's mind calmed down a lot, and he thought that maybe saying this could impress the snake.
But the snake was still unmoved, he closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed, "Whether your Prince Changyang can regain the throne, I can bet, if you win the bet, there will be gold and fertile land, and if you lose the bet, of course there will be nothing, I ......accept it."
β...... But, as I said, your promise has no value. The snake opened its eyes and stared at Zhang Huaitu coldly.
He finally understood, Zhang Huaitu finally understood, he finally knew which sentence he needed to say, which sentence, in order to make the snake worm change his mind.
"One list, one son. β
He hung his head and spoke.
"That's right, one list, one son. The snake finally nodded in satisfaction and repeated.
"Okay, I promise you. Zhang Huaitu said weakly.
The snake smiled and raised his chin at his men, and one of them ran to the bow of the boat, picked up the cigarette pipe, and threw it into a nearby boat.
"Okay, now we need to avoid it," the snake raised his hand, and the two crew members who were holding Zhang Huaitu let go of their hands, and Zhang Huaitu's knees weakened and he fell to the ground.
"The people who followed this cigarette, they only knew that the person who gave it was a Fandong chief, and they only knew that it was a father and son who were sent to the local people in the capital. The snake said as he helped Zhang Huaitu up.
"Let's go," he patted Zhang Huaitu on the shoulder, "go and accompany my friends." β
......
A few moments later, a few men dressed as guards came to the dock, and the chimney was still emitting red smoke.
Only one sailor stood in the bow of the ship, and the others were probably impatient to wait for the port, and they all snuggled up in the cabin and chatted. No one noticed the chimney thrown from nowhere at the stern.
The Praetorian Guard walked to the shore and greeted them, and the people on board walked out of the cabin in astonishment, walked to the side and looked at them as well.
"Where's the man?" the guard asked, his eyes wide open as the setting sun shone on him.
"What is it?" The last person to come out of the cabin was a pot-bellied middle-aged man, who appeared to be the captain of the ship.
"What are you talking about?" said the Praetorian guard, who had been waiting in the outer city all day, and it was already evening, and the janissary was in a hurry to go home, impatiently.
The people on this ship don't seem to be native to the empire, and they have less respect for the military master, so they only feel inexplicable, and when the soldiers come to find trouble, the fat captain goes back to the cabin without looking back.
"You ......" The guards of the dignified imperial capital were treated like this, only to see the one who spoke with a clatter, drew his sword out of its sheath, raised his hand, and the knife flew over the sailors on the side of the ship, and pierced deep into the side of the hatch.
The knife was only a fist away from the fat captain's head, and he reacted, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, and the whole ship was shaken.
Several of the sailors on the side of the ship came to their senses, crouched down in horror with their heads in their hands, and crawled to the other side of the ship to hide.
On the shore, several other janissaries who were traveling with him hurriedly grabbed his comrades and calmed him down. One of the leaders, in the same way, raised his hand and slammed at the nearby ships a few times, and the more than a dozen janissaries divided into groups and boarded the ships parked nearby.
The hot-tempered one naturally boarded the ship, and he walked to the hatch and pulled out the knife from the door frame. The fat captain was still sitting on the ground, and when he saw the fierce look on the guard's face, he kicked his feet in fear and stepped back.
The Praetorian kicked him hard, relieved, and grabbed him by the collar with one hand, dragging him out of the cabin.
At the stern of the boat, another janissary picked up the cigarette pipe, and at one end, the red smoke was like wisps, and he gasped for a while in his hand, and finally breathed.
"You didn't put it?" asked the Praetorian Guard, walking up to the fat captain and stretching out his cigarette holder.
At this moment, the fat captain was already full of fear, he was a newcomer to a foreign country, in the capital of the empire, he only thought that he had violated some terrible taboo, and he did not know what kind of severe punishment would befall him.
He shook his head vigorously, and his face was full of fat and sobs. The two guards looked at each other, and this person really didn't look like he was pretending.
"Have you seen a Fandong elder with a native father and son?" asked the Praetorian Guard, letting go of the hand holding the fat captain's collar and looking around at the sailors.
The sailors shook their heads in avoidance, they were all frightened, and it was really not good for the first male city in the world to give these strangers who were accustomed to life on the sea.
"Let's go. The other janissary took the extinguished chimney into his bosom, turned around helplessly, and beckoned his comrades to disembark.
......
Next to it, on a gorgeous building boat, several guards also touched a nose of ash - this vermilion lacquer and blue tiles, eaves hanging bells, and looking oriental charm on the building boat, it was all blonde and blue-eyed Secy.
Seeing that the people dressed in military clothes got on the boat, several tall Sisi people surrounded them, and their mouths were babbling some bird language that no one could understand, and their figures blocked the light, which was really oppressive.
"You came to Taiwei to do business, don't you even have a general account that can speak official language?" After checking the other ships, the captain boarded the ship with a few guards and approached with his hands behind his back.
"There isβhow could there be. A woman with her shawl curls came out of the cabin, her tone as graceful as her hair, as the curves around her.
"Have you seen a Fandong elder with a pair of native fathers and sons, who should have come by boat near here? The captain asked politely.
"Chief, I think this group of ghosts is quite long, maybe it's them!" the hot-tempered janissary said angrily behind the captain.
The Secy girl smiled peacefully, and her charming eyes bent into crescents, "The woman in Fandong is slender and rugged, and her complexion is blue and gray, and the military master looks at the slave family, is it like?"
This girl doesn't know who she learned from in official language, so she claims to be easy to come by.
The outrageous guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slender and rugged, with a gray complexion, the slender place was slender, but there was no place to be rugged, and the exposed arms were as white and smooth as ivory, and only half of the chest was wrapped like two white doves that had pounced out of the nest...... The most coquettish tone, a "military master" and a "slave family", really called his heart.
In Jindingjing, where all countries come to the court, he has also seen a lot of Secy's girls, most of them are simple and strong, and they just want to be beardless men......
The girl said with a smile, although we have never seen what the elders of Fandong look like, but although we are despicable to the Sexi people like you, we have seen a lot. On the side, the captain smiled lightly.
The Sesi girl bowed her head politely and said, "We are all entertainers who sell their performances for food and drink, and we are too small to come for the first time, and I want to see if this meal will be easier to please in your country." The Fandong elders and a pair of fathers and sons that the military masters are looking for, we really didn't see it. β
At this time, the guards who entered the cabin to search and check came out, shook their heads, and said, "There is no one else in the cabin, only a lot of ...... A strange beast that I have never seen. β
The captain sighed when he heard this, and he was not surprised - Sesi and Fandong, after all, are people from opposite ends of the world, and it is impossible for them to be on the same boat.
β...... The boss said that the Dongchang people brought people to receive the reward, so they shouldn't be hiding......"
β...... Could it be that it is dominated by anti-customers?"
Behind the captain, several Praetorian guards discussed.
"Mouth. β
The captain turned around and said coldly.
