Chapter 120: The Helm
The Great Castle is the location of the helmsman of the Shipyard Society, and the last time the council hall here gathered the rudder masters and stewards from all over the world was at the last witch festival, that is, after Gonghui returned from the White Sea, and before Sumiwanu opened the witch market.
The last gathering was to prepare for the Witch Market deal, and this time it was ...... Get?!
The various helmsmen and stewards present looked at the woman who was full of anticipation just now, and now they were silent, and they all looked at each other, and only the helmsman of Devis, Fu Lao, and the helmsman of Xiao Saiyi, and his steward probably knew something inside.
The chief helmsman Gongbo didn't know what was going on, and the rudder owners and stewards from all over the country rushed to the big city in the past few days, and the only thing he knew was that Chabufeng had sealed Davis, and thus revoked the rudder of Xiao Saiyi and Davis City, and all the personnel returned to the general rudder, but why did the others also come?
The rudder owners and stewards in various places also did not know the reason, and in the face of everyone's questions, Gongbo had to stabilize the personnel and wait for Gonghui to return.
Others don't know that Gongbo knows best in his heart that the Baohui Boat Club was actually established by his Ah Kome (younger brother) Gonghui, and it is also run by Gonghui.
Although he is the chief helmsman of the shipbuilding company, he can't do the things of the chief helmsman, he has told Gong Hui more than once to give up this position, but every time he is persuaded by Gong Hui to succeed.
"Ada, I always have to go to sea, the helm is not in town without you, the people below will inevitably disobey the discipline, you should help me!"
Of course, Gongbo will help his Ahim, and he has been doing his best to carry out his duty.
Gonghui was given to them by the gods, and if it weren't for Gonghui, he would have died in that war like Atsu Eminem.
He still remembers the first time he met Gong Hui.
At that time, he had six witch sacrifices, and he followed Ah Chun and Eminem to work on the Red Cliff Beach in Sumivanu, he went down to the sea to look for food, and when he returned, Eminem was holding a child with about two witch sacrifices in his arms, the child's face was purple and blue and he was dying, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
At that time, they were all slaves, and it was difficult to feed a person, let alone a child who was about to die.
But they were reluctant to throw it away, perhaps because the child was still smiling even though he was dying, or perhaps they believed that the child was a gift from the gods.
This child is his current Atsume - Gonghui.
Gong Bo turned his head to look at Gong Hui who was sitting beside him, and Gong Hui's gaze never left the tense woman.
It turned out that the woman named Tang Ba was looking for Eminem and Ada, but unfortunately all the rudders of the shipbuilding company didn't find their figures, if the shipwhack didn't see it, then no other shipbuilding company could know.
Gongbo waved his hand at the helmsman, "You all go and rest first, and we'll talk about it later." β
After the words fell, he also left the council hall with everyone, and he saw that Gong Hui had something to say to the woman alone, and that woman seemed to be very important to Atsu, otherwise he would not have gathered all the people from the branch to help the woman find someone.
The huge council hall immediately fell into a dead silenceβ
Tang Ba shrunk in the chair and looked thin and small, his face had no color except for the miserable white, and there was no previous look in his eyes, and his shape was shaky between the shadows, as if in the next second, this person would die silently.
Gong Hui had never seen such a Tang Ba, and although his face did not move, his heart was inexplicably painful.
Maybe it's because he can understand how Tang Ba feels now, and when he saw Ah Chun and Eminem being killed, his heart hurt too.
Although it seems to be a little different from the current pain?
Gong Hui wanted to comfort Tang Ba and didn't know how to speak, wanted to get closer but didn't dare to go over, and when he was at a loss, Tang Ba suddenly stood up.
"I'm going back to Davis, I'm going back to the Witch Tower!" Tang Ba looked at Gong Hui with an extremely resolute attitude.
Gong Hui slowed down his speech, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Davis has been sealed by Chabu, even if you Eminem and Ada are still in Chavis, you may not be able to find it successfully, as soon as you arrive at Davis, you will be immediately arrested by Chabu, let alone looking for someone, even you yourself can't escape." β
"You can send me back to the blue beach behind the Witch Tower. Tang Ba's cheeks tightened, and the fist hanging at his side was clenched tightly, "You send me back, you don't have to worry about the rest, I have a way." β
Gong Hui frowned slightly, "What can you do?"
Tang Ba said a little impatiently: "I said that you don't have to worry about it, you just send me back." β
Gong Hui's heart sank suddenly, and his face sank.
Tang Ba closed his eyes and calmed down his irritability, and said: "I know that this will affect you and the Baohui Shipping Company, I have nothing to repay, only coins." β
As he spoke, Tang Ba lifted the hem of his skirt and took out all the coins tied to his legs.
Strings of copper coins were thrown onto the table one by one, and for a moment all the copper coins collided with each other with a "clanging" sound.
Although the voice was not loud, the green tendons on Gong Hui's forehead were jumping, and his heart was also sour.
"I know you don't lack these things at all, but just a little bit of my heart, I don't want any coins in Volona, I just ask you to send me to Davis. β
If she had the ability to swim over, she would never stand here and waste time begging Gong Hui, if Gong Hui just didn't agree, she had to make a decision.
Gong Hui turned aside his eyes and didn't look at the hanging coins on the table at all, and continued to persuade: "If you go back, you will be sent to death......"
Tang Ba raised his hand to stop Gong Hui's words, and raised his chin slightly to stare at Gong Hui and asked, "You don't send it, right?"
Gong Hui looked back at Tang Ba and said word by word: "No, send." β
"Good. Tang Ba picked up his backpack, swept the coins on the table into his bag, turned around and walked out.
Gong Hui hurriedly pulled the person back, "What are you doing?"
Tang Ba actually smiled, withdrew the arm that was pulled back, took a step back, bent down at Gong Hui, and said softly: "Tang Ba thanks the young helmsman for everything he has done for me these days, if necessary, I will also inquire about Chabu's situation for the young helmsman as a reward, let's say goodbye, I will not affect the young helmsman." β
Gong Hui also smiled, but the laughter did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "This is my territory, not something you can walk if you want to." β
"Then you're welcome. β
As the words fell, the short whip in Tang Ba's hand had already been thrown towards Gong Hui.
With a "snap", the short whip unceremoniously left a deep whip mark on Gong Hui's arm.
The smile on the corner of Gong Hui's mouth was even stronger, but it was plated with a layer of coldness, "Then I'm not welcome!"
didn't see how Gong Hui moved, the short whip in Tang Ba's hand "oh" straightened between the two, Tang Ba immediately let go when he saw this, shook his hand and threw the horn dagger out.
Gong Hui didn't even dodge, he only raised his arm with five fingers outstretched, and the horn dagger that was flying in the air suddenly stopped abruptly and fell to the ground with the short whip.
Tang Ba was shocked in his heart, and was about to take out the Xuanzi rope, but the whole person seemed to be pushed by some force and threw himself directly into Gong Hui's arms, and before he could react, there was a pain in his neck, and then he fainted!
