Chapter 34: Zhao'an

"Ship owner! People brought! Mao Changfeng said to Zheng Xian who was sitting on the deck chair with an expressionless face, and behind Mao Changfeng was Wu Ruotang, who was resolute and nervous, and Chi Tianhao, who was at a loss.

Zheng Xian waved his hand at Mao Changfeng, and Mao Changfeng pushed it aside, revealing Wu Ruotang behind him.

Zheng Xian didn't rush to speak, but looked at Wu Ruotang, Wu Ruotang's hair was a little messy, fluttering like willow leaves in the sea breeze, indescribably free. Although the complexion is a little pale, it does not give a feeling of weakness, but rather a sharp sword out of the sheath.

Zheng Xian was looking at Wu Ruotang, Wu Ruotang was not looking at Zheng Xian. Zheng Xian looked forty-five or sixteen, and his complexion was a bronze unique to a shipfarer on the sea. Although he looked very kind, Wu Ruotang was keenly aware that Zheng Xian's palm, the area between his thumb and index finger, was particularly thick with calluses. Obviously, Zheng Xian is a veteran of using a sword or a knife, and it is very likely that he will not talk about twenty years of kung fu in this way, or even thirty years.

After half a sound, Zheng Xian no longer seemed to be ready to be silent, and showed a kind smile to Wu Ruotang, and asked in a relatively gentle tone: "Young man, what is your name?" What is the matter with coming to me? ”

"Wu Ruotang, the general banner of the South Haiwei in Xiahai, on the orders of the thousands of households of my family, specially came to the owner of Zheng to discuss major matters!" Wu Ruotang bent down and said respectfully.

Zheng Xian looked at Wu Ruotang's clothes, and had already guessed that the other party should be from the official family, but he didn't expect it to be so promising! Qianhu, this is an official of the five grades, and he is a real power faction. Of course, Zheng Xian is unwilling to offend such a character.

"Oh, I don't know if it's the newly appointed Cao Qianhu?" Zheng Xian said with a hint of seriousness.

"Exactly!" Wu Ruotang was happy in his heart, could it be that he still had any friendship with Cao Dabiao?

"Haha, it seems that I am really destined for him! At the beginning, Lao Tzu occupied the mountain as the king, and his life was not happy. The official army can't help me several times of encirclement and suppression, but I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of Cao Dabiao, fortunately, Lao Tzu's martial arts were not wasted, and he took a dozen brothers to kill a bloody road, and now pinch his fingers and calculate, Cao Dabiao harmed me and I have been floating on the sea for ten years! Zheng Xian said with a cruel smile.

Wu Ruotang was stupid, and Chi Tianhao behind him wanted to cry without tears.

"My family has also mentioned to us many times the heroic deeds of Master Zheng, and even told us many times. It was the greatest honor of his life to be able to fight the shipowner! Wu Ruo said cheekily.

The huge ship has been silent since Zheng Xian began to speak, which shows the high prestige of the ship. Although Wu Ruotang's words were flattering, hearing Zheng Xian's ears made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"Hmph, don't be so complacent about him Cao Dabiao, if I hadn't been negligent at the beginning, I wouldn't have let him succeed!" Zheng Xian said ruthlessly, but his expression was obviously relaxed, obviously not planning to investigate the old past.

"Yes, yes, Ship Master Zheng is wise and martial, if it is not for negligence, he will never fall into the hands of others!" Wu Ruotang bent down completely.

"Say, what did Cao Dabiao ask you to come to me for?" Zheng Xian changed to a comfortable sitting position and said a little lazily.

Wu Ruotang glanced at the many pirates present, and secretly calculated in his heart that except for Mao Changfeng and Zheng Xian, everyone else was a shrimp soldier and crab general, and it was not worth mentioning.

"The stakes are very high, I wonder if Ship Master Zheng can take a step to speak?" Wu Ruotang pretended to be mysterious.

The more mysterious Wu Ruotang is, the more he can attract Zheng Xian's interest. At this time, he really regarded Wu Ruotang as Cao Dabiao's envoy.

"It's nothing, let's get busy!" Zheng Xian waved his hand and expelled all the onlookers to their jobs, and then waved his hand to let Wu Ruotang step forward to answer.

"Tell me, what's the matter!" Zheng Xian touched his chin and said with a hint of anticipation.

"Ship Master Zheng, my lord is here to let the little one discuss Zhao'an matters with you!" Wu Ruotang only stepped forward and whispered.

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Xian and several henchmen had different faces. Wu Ruotang observed carefully and found that it was almost divided into two factions, one faction was headed by Mao Changfeng, and his face was ugly. The other faction is led by Zheng Xian, although his face is expressionless, he must still have a trace of interest in his heart.

"Zhao'an us, his surname Cao is not qualified enough!" Mao Changfeng opened his mouth and said mockingly. As soon as he opened his mouth, a group of pirates also responded one after another, that is, that is, Lao Tzu is used to being at ease in the sea, so he doesn't want to suffer from Zhao'an's bird spirit! ”

The performance of his subordinates made Zheng Xian a little unslow, his boss hasn't expressed his opinion yet, what are you fooling around, do you still have me in your eyes.

Although there is some fire in my heart, but with Zheng Xian's city government. Naturally, it doesn't show on the face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, my family is now a thousand households of Nanhaiwei. It's not to brag, this is a radius of two hundred miles, and there is nothing that my family can't manage! Wu Ruotang took out a pride in his hands and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the pirates were immediately silenced. At present, their life is not easy, and after the Zhu royal family has stabilized the country, they have begun to pay more and more attention to coastal defense. Although the elite of the Ming Dynasty sailors are not here, no one dares to guarantee that if the emperor is in a bad mood one day, he will drive the sailor warship to the South China Sea. When the time comes, they will have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. And now the Japanese are becoming more and more arrogant. Normally they only plundered passing merchant ships, but now even pirates have robbed them.

"I'm a little puzzled, Lao Tzu has been doing this for so many years, why didn't Cao Qianhu think about Zhao'an for a long time, and didn't think about Zhao'an for a long time, but now he thinks of Lao Tzu and asks you to come to Zhao'an?" Zheng Xianhu said suspiciously.

"Ship owner, I think this kid is simply cheating, he must be trying to do something, but he saw that our ship is strong and sharp, so he said such a lot of plans to confuse the brothers!" Mao Changfeng pointed at Wu Ruotang and revealed.

Mao Changfeng's words made Wu Ruotang break out in a cold sweat, because what this guy said was indeed similar. I was originally full of ambition to go to sea to fight pirates, and when I saw the first enemy, I was more powerful than myself, so I made up this series of lies, but I didn't expect Mao Changfeng to think so far.

"This eldest brother, you are wronged when you say this, you say that if I didn't come for Zhao'an, then why should I risk my life to go to sea? If it weren't for the death order given by my family, I would definitely be happy in the kiln with my two girls in my arms! Wu Ruotang said with a look of grievance.

These vulgar words were very appealing to Zheng Xian's appetite, and after he laughed heroically, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Good boy, I originally thought that you were young and a pure person with six roots, but I didn't expect that this Cao Dabiao's subordinates are really full of five poisons, and at a young age, they know how to enjoy life, I think you don't want to be an official and soldier, follow Lao Tzu to be a pirate!" ”
