Chapter 507: Armor
"Raise the sails for me, go full speed, outflank me left and right!" Steward Qiu immediately changed into a different person, and stood there like a lone wolf.
Soon, the big ship sent a distress signal, which showed that it was forced to be in a hurry. Steward Qiu stood on the deck, directing the helmsman forward, and commanding several warships with signal flags to outflank, and the battle was over in only two hours. All three pirate ships were captured, and the monks on the pirate ships fled at the beginning of the war. The big ship also sent someone to negotiate, and the person who came was an old man, who looked like a butler or something.
This housekeeper is also a discerning person, as soon as he got on the boat, he trotted to Zhao Feng, and Balabala said a lot, which means very clearly, that is, to be rewarded with millions of gold coins. Zhao Feng glanced at him and said, "Please ask Steward Qiu to call the shots!" At this time, Steward Qiu sneered twice, grabbed the butler's collar, and said, "Million? What about those who ask for food? The captives I captured said that you are the earls of the Thousand Stars Kingdom, and there are more than 500,000 ships alone, and you tell me that you only have two million properties, what about the deceitful ghosts? Tell your earl to come by himself, or else, hmph, we'll do it ourselves, kill or bury it!" ”
The housekeeper also understood that there were few good people who were so mixed at sea, and secretly said in his heart: "If you want to get out safely this time, I'm afraid it's difficult!" ”
Not long after the butler returned, the earl himself arrived. I saw that his face was pale, his hair was scattered, and he was obviously frightened. After arriving, Steward Qiu coerced and enticed, and in the end, the earl actually spit out the wealth of millions of gold coins, and even the ships were converted into gold coins. It can be seen that this earl is really frightened, and he only thinks about returning to Tiantai to settle down, and has no intention of returning to Qianxing to seek revenge.
When the dust settled, the two sides signed a contract, and Manager Qiu said to Zhao Feng: "I heard a few days ago that a large-scale civil strife broke out in the Kingdom of Thousand Stars, and the people who were killed were red-eyed, but I didn't think that we would meet those who fled, according to the rules, at this time, the employer should also divide half, I don't know if Master Zhao has any special requirements?" The implication is that Zhao Feng has no idea about this big ship.
This giant ship is very popular, however, Zhao Feng is not interested, this kind of ship is suitable for ocean voyages, and he can't use it in the short term, but those small boats are very suitable for the use of Fenghuo Yuan, and in the end, the two agreed that Zhao Feng got three pirate ships, plus 700,000 gold coins, and Shopkeeper Qiu took the noble ship on behalf of the Tian family, as well as 500,000 gold coins. In fact, Zhao Feng knew that he had lost a lot, but he didn't contribute to this war, so he picked up a lot of money in vain.
The earl returned to the ship, and after a long time, he had not yet handed over the ship, and the steward Qiu was impatient, and sent someone to urge, and finally, he heard an unexpected news, and there was infighting on the ship. It turned out that the earl's homeland had been breached, and even his wife was dead, and he and his son were too afraid of the enemy to return to Qianxing. On the contrary, her daughter did not let the eyebrows go, and gathered a group of monks and sailors, thinking of going back to deal with the enemy.
Hearing the news, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect this earl to be so pustuated that he actually had a bold daughter. However, the results were soon discerned on the ship, and the count and his son went to Tiantai to live in seclusion, while his daughter hoped to buy three pirate ships.
When Zhao Feng saw the earl's daughter, a word popped up in his heart - Mingyan, what is bright eyes and good eyes, what is good looking, this is it, and this woman is still a monk of the Spirit Source Realm. This woman's name is You Yueling, less than twenty years old, but she is a well-known figure in the Kingdom of Thousand Stars, known as one of the Three Pearls of a Thousand Stars, and is the dream lover of many kings and grandsons. It turns out that this Yueling girl is indeed very influential, and almost half of them are willing to follow her back to Qianxing.
Zhao Feng was not very happy about the sale of the boat, he originally planned to buy a few ships from the Tian family, but today he got these three pirate ships, how could he sell them? However, Zhao Feng saw that Miss Yueling didn't want to deal with the Tian family. In fact, this girl was born with a delicate heart, and she had a conversation with her father and brother:
"Our You family also started as a bandit, do you think that with such a large fleet of the Tian family, there will be a lack of sects behind it?"
"I'm a monk, now that I'm gone, I can still join the sect, and then I can't be a casual cultivator, what about you?"
"Follow the Tian family, the Tian family will serve you with delicious food and drink?"
"You are the beggars with the golden bowls, will you let go of the fat in your hands?"
"Hmph, I understand, you guys are beating my idea, just like betraying me back then, selling me to the sect behind the Tian family, and using me for a backer, isn't it?"
"Dream on, I will never go to Tiantai."
Her brother was about to open his mouth when the count's daughter interrupted him.
"I know what you want to say, that surnamed Zhao is weak and still a mortal, but he is a Templar Bachelor, what's wrong with his weak strength, doesn't he need allies more? Don't you need my shipbuilders more? ”
"Moreover, it's still a young man, it's really not good, if I marry him, it's not humiliating, and besides, can you control me?"
The old earl and his son were dumbfounded when they heard this, but in the end they were silent, and now they couldn't beat her, and they couldn't say anything, and in the end they could only acquiesce to her running away and standing on her own.
Zhao Feng negotiated with this Yueling girl, and reached an agreement in just a moment. At the time of the discussion, the earl. In the end, Zhao Feng sent a ship to Miss Yueling, and the shipbuilders of the Marquis's family stayed in Fenghuoyuan to establish a shipyard. The port of Fenghuoyuan has been abandoned for more than ten years, the shipyard has long been closed, and the Tian family has not agreed to repair the shipyard at all, obviously not wanting Fenghuoyuan to have shipbuilding and ship repair capabilities. And the visitors from the Thousand Stars Kingdom are different, as long as they settle in the Beacon Plain, Zhao Feng will have a shipyard.
Besides, Steward Qiu, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything in the end, the Tian family wanted money and big ships, as for people, as long as the earl and the earl's son went back with him, it didn't matter if the others wanted to do it, it was these shipbuilders, and the Tian family didn't look down on them.
The fleet sailed for another day, and before dark, finally saw the coastline of the Beacon Plains.
Boarding the port of the Beacon Plain, Zhao Feng saw a dilapidated and desolate state. There were originally two ports in the beacon, called the port of Nishihara and the port of Higashihara, and there was a fortress near the port, where two armies were stationed.
Zhao Feng's planned canal excavation site was next to the fortress, and he planned to concentrate the population in the fortress, which could not only live but also defend against the invasion of herdsmen.
In Xiyuan Port, Zhao Feng spent the first night in the Beacon Plain, Zhao Feng, who has always been broad-hearted, has rare insomnia today, he stood on the top of the building, looking at the few lights in the city, a kind of mood that has never been before, heavy on his heart, Zhao Feng knows, this mood is responsibility.
On the second day, Zhao Feng first met with the defender of the Xiyuan Fortress and the overseer of the entire Beacon Plains, General Zhong Xiao. This general was born in the royal family, although he is more than half a hundred years old, he wears armor and a sword, and walks with dragons and tigers, and is obviously extremely skilled in martial arts. The old general looked at the thin young man in front of him, and then at the more than a thousand barbarian warriors behind the young man, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why doesn't the Zhong family have such a talent now? The old general and Zhao Feng exchanged a few polite words, and then entered the military account.
"Bachelor Zhao's military appearance is quite prosperous, these are warriors from the Western Realm?" The old general asked, stroking his beard.
"Your Excellency praised it falsely, it is the barbarian brother in the west, as for the military appearance, you see, there is not even armor, you can't talk about it." Zhao Feng said politely.
"Haha, if the military appearance is dressed up by armor, it will be easy to do." The old general laughed. "To get back to the point, I am, I like to go straight, this Xiyuan Fortress needs twenty days to withdraw, and the Dongyuan Fortress will take at least a month, I don't know what Master Zhao thinks?"
Zhao Feng knew that it was not easy for this army to start, so he replied: "Everything is as the old general said, and I ask the general to send someone to negotiate with this Mucheng officer, how about it?" ”
"It's okay, I don't know where Master Zhao is going to settle down?" When the old general saw that this matter was settled, he was also relieved.
"It's in the General's Fortress."
"What, you're going to live in a fortress?" The old general was surprised, he actually put a good house in the harbor and came to live in this broken fortress.
"Yes, not only do I want to live, but I also buy a lot of slaves and live here." Zhao Feng replied.
"Is it to prevent the shepherds from making trouble?"
"Exactly."
When the old general heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "You don't have to, you don't have to, you are a temple master, and the land here is the land of the temple. Hmph, they weren't that brave yet. ”
"Old general, maybe there will be people who will be jealous of this land in the future?"
"What?" The old general was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing again, in this realm where birds don't, it's difficult to even see a figure, so there will be people who are worried about it?
After negotiating the handover affairs, he withdrew the others, and only Zhao Feng and the old general were left in the account.
The old general asked, "Master Zhao, I don't know what is important, how cautious is it?" ”
"The old general is a cheerful person, and I also have something to say, and I want to buy some armor from the old general." Zhao Feng replied.
"Huh?" The old general's face sank, and his gaze instantly became as cold as a knife.
After a long time, the old general squinted his eyes and asked, "Forgive the old man, I didn't hear what the bachelor said, can you say it again?" ”
"I'd like to buy some armor from the old general."
"Bachelor, this armor is all issued by the Ministry of War, and the old man has a number here, how dare he sell it without authorization?"
"Is there any, the old general understands in his heart that this armor is pulled back to Tiantai, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a move, so it is better to sell it to me." Zhao Feng finally added: "I am a person who reads history books, an old general." ”
The old general was silent for a long time before asking, "What do you want the armor for?" ”
