158 To be a junior brother requires honesty

"Po?"

Seeing the young man standing up in the group of pirates, Master Li's eyes lit up, and he finally knew why the name Liu Hengzhen was not on the list just now, and he changed his vest!

Po, how, wait! Po, General Po! Liu Hengzhen!

No wonder I always feel like I've heard it somewhere!

Master Li suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he looked at a brief history of the Philippines, and was rumored by the locals that "he is protected by gods", "has a bronze body and iron bones", and "a knife and axe cannot hurt his body", and was praised by historians as "the real hero of the struggle for freedom in the Philippines".

Jose? Igra Western Australia? Baohua!

Chinese name, Liu Hengchen!

Looking at Liu Hengzhen, who was walking away from the pirates under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were many people, but in the late Qing Dynasty, there were really not many people who made a world in a foreign country, and the young man in front of him was the best among them!

In the Philippines in later generations, he is a legend!

He participated in the Philippine people's war against Spain, established the first military factory for the revolutionary army, personally led the army to participate in the uprising, and played a great reputation in the defense of Imes, and was given the title of "overseas Chinese general", and finally participated in the American-Philippine War.

Although he lost the war in the end because of his strength, this is already worthy of his reputation. What's more, at the time of his death, the Philippine flag was lowered at half-mast throughout the country, and the upper and lower parliaments adjourned to see him off, escorted by 500 gendarmes, and held a grand state funeral!

The beginning of the twentieth century was the darkest time for all Chinese, even if the Manchu Qing was overthrown later, the country was still in the darkness of warlord division and social turmoil. It's all in the nest! And it was in this era, when the Celestial Empire was thrown to the bottom of the sea by the countries of the South Seas, and even tied to a big stone, he became the only overseas Chinese general who played the momentum of the Chinese people overseas during this time!

Originally, he was only wanted to use Duan Fei's intelligence and his relationship between various forces in the Philippines, but now Young Master Li is really reluctant to let this guy go.

"Po has seen Young Master Li."

After walking in front of Li Mo under the leadership of the soldiers, Liu Hengzhen immediately bowed and saluted, but he didn't know that Young Master Li had decided to bite his piece of fat and not let go.

"Oh? How did you recognize me? Li Mo deliberately frowned.

"Young Master Li is now the prince of the duke, and the army under his command has just defeated the arrogant and invincible Yue himself, which has greatly increased the momentum of my Chinese, even the Chinese from various countries in Nanyang have also transmitted, saying that you are a model for our generation of Chinese! Ah Bao has admired the name for a long time, and he has long been eager to see him, but he didn't expect to be able to realize his wish here, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Liu Hengyun greeted him for a while, but he didn't notice that the Sichuan characters in the center of Master Li's eyebrows were a few deeper. Yan Fu on the side laughed even more secretly in his heart, he didn't expect this Liu Hengzhen to be so slippery, this time he was kicked to the iron plate.

After getting along for a long time, he can see that Young Master Li likes to joke with his subordinates, and there are no taboos, but if he encounters a real thing, he is extremely serious and serious, which is completely inconsistent with the age of his appearance, so this compliment is not so much to strive for a good impression, but to erase all the goodwill accumulated with him in front of Jiang Tianxiu that day.

"What I'm asking is, how did you recognize me?" The corners of Li Mo's mouth began to bend downward a little.

"Me."

Liu Hengyun didn't expect this small-looking Young Master Li to be so unkind, and after being stunned for a while, he put away his smiling face and said: "It's very simple, to be able to make these soldiers bow and salute, and to be such a young person, Ah Bao can't think of anyone else in Honolulu who can do it." ”

Li Mo nodded, this guy finally has some eyesight, and he can actually guess his identity from his age, and asked again: "Guess right, I am Li Mo, who are you?" Why in the Pirate's Lair? ”

Hearing Li Mo's tone getting colder and colder, Liu Hengzhen's vest was suddenly covered with beads of sweat, and he couldn't help but regret running out so impulsively.

Originally, after he guessed Li Mo's identity, he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he could tie this big tree, the dream in his heart would definitely come true, but he didn't expect it to be pasted on someone's cold face, he thought that this young master was young and had achieved such great achievements, he would inevitably have arrogance, as long as he said a few good words, he might be able to escape this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that the other party would not eat it softly and hard, and the other party would be disgusted by those words, and he suddenly became nervous.

Although he has the heart to cling, it doesn't mean that he can take this line, especially since he still has a chaotic relationship with the locals in Luzon, and he is also operating an unknown business.

Liu Hengzhen couldn't be sure, so he hurriedly said: "My name is Baohua, and I have a blacksmith shop in Manila, and recently Luzon iron materials are tight, and I heard that Wang Laohu may have a scrapped iron-hulled ship in his hands, so he came here on purpose." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hengzhen saw that Young Master Li was staring at him deadly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his face turned terried with fright, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong.

"Mr. Po, who can prove that you are telling the truth?" Yan Fu couldn't stand it anymore on the side, and immediately interjected.

Liu Hengzhen didn't expect that the other party really didn't get in oil and salt, and his heart was a lot weaker, not to mention that this is a pirate's den, who will prove it to him? But if the other party knew about it, I was afraid that it would be even worse, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "Lord Duke, everything I said below is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to Luzon to investigate." ”

Li Mo glanced at Yan Fu, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to Liu Hengzhen: "Purchasing pig iron materials with pirates, do you think I will believe this excuse?" Or do you think they're going to dismantle that gunboat and give it to you? ”

"I think the purchase of pig iron is fake, but the sale of stolen goods for pirates is real, right? Or rather. Li Mo deliberately glanced at Yan Fu, who immediately smiled and said, "Or that they came to the pirates to purchase arms and resell them to the Luzon Revolutionary Army!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Liu Hengzhen suddenly felt as if his heart had been squeezed by a big hand, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, the villain is really an iron shop merchant, and he has some business dealings with them in peacetime, and he really hasn't participated in the affairs of the pirates, these Chinese gentry in Luzon can testify for me!" ”

"Really?" Li Mo deliberately raised his tone, walked around Liu Hengyun, who was sweating profusely, twice, suddenly stopped behind him, and said softly: "Does Mr. know what Li Mo hates the most?" ”

Liu Hengzhen didn't dare to look back at Li Mo, only shook it quickly.

"As a person, the most annoying thing is that someone tells lies in front of me! I know why you came forward, in addition to trying to get my attention, but also wanted to dissociate yourself from these pirates to hide your true purpose, because you are afraid that if I find out, you will be angry and affect your impression! ”

"But you forgot one thing, to be a little brother, you need to be honest."

"Mr. Liu Hengzhen!"

Hearing Li Mo call out his name, Liu Hengyun seemed to feel that something in his mind suddenly exploded, and his body became even stiffer, and when he finally turned his head to look, he found that Li Mo was already blue-faced, and suddenly he understood what a stupid thing he had done, it turned out that his every move had already been seen through by others!

"Liu Hengzhen, the word picture Qiong. Now twenty-three years old, he left Luzon with his uncle at the age of sixteen, and is now the owner of the Xinglong blacksmith shop, and has a good relationship with the rich Chinese merchants in Luzon. And you also know how to make gunpowder, cast mountain cannons, and have a good relationship with the local armed forces in Luzon, often providing them with some gunpowder and weapons. ”

Yan Fu slowly told the information that Duan Fei had obtained. With every word, Liu Hengzhen's body shook, and when he said that he knew how to make gunpowder, he was already sweating profusely.

"Take it down and keep it in solitary confinement!" Glancing at the overseas Chinese general who was trembling slightly, Li Mo smiled slightly and waved his hand to Wen Xiu.

"Yes."

Seeing Liu Hengzhen being taken away, Li Mo walked towards the place where the female dependents were held. Although Du Dazhuang also followed closely, he still didn't understand a little, pulled Yan Fu on the side, and asked lightly: "Mr. Yan, doesn't the young master want to take this guy away?" We rushed here overnight for him, did we just lock him up? ”

"To be a little brother you need to be honest!"

Yan Fu chewed on this sentence, glanced at Li Mo, who was walking faster and faster, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart, although the young man in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he was more scheming than adults, and said with a smile: "Da Zhuang, you still don't understand, the young master is going to use him!" ”

"With him? Why are you still locking him up? Du Dazhuang scratched his head even more.

"Liu Hengxun is sleek and exquisite, which is an advantage. Because there are many ethnic groups in Luzon and Nanyang, and the members are complex, if he uses this hand well, he can cross this sea frontier! But....... Yan Fu narrowed his eyes and paused: "He is a little too tactful, he wants to cling to the young master, but he is unwilling to say the real purpose here, no matter what worries he has, it can only show that this person is too selfish!" ”

"It's not terrible for people to have selfishness, but it's terrible that he covers this selfishness tightly." Yan Fu turned his head to look at Du Dazhuang, who was enlightened, and asked with a smile: "Do you say that the young master can rest assured that he will hand over the power to this kind of person?" ”

Du Dazhuang understood a little, the young master of feelings is not at ease. But I also wondered, could it be that locking up could make that guy unselfish? And this Luzon is not the only one who can be used, why does Mr. Yan say that the young master still wants to use him?

Yan Fu also couldn't guess about the latter question, of course he didn't know that Li Mo had made up his mind when he knew the prestige of that guy in the future, but since the young master was going to use it, he must have his thoughts, so he immediately said: "The young master deliberately pierced his name just now, just to let him know that in fact, everything about him is already in our hands, and peel off some things in his heart!" ”

"As for locking him up again, it's to give him a chance to reflect, and if he can't wake up this time, then ......." Although Yan Fu didn't finish speaking, Du Dazhuang also knew what would happen, and took a deep breath: "I know, young master, this is playing the game of boiling eagles in our hometown." ”

"You can teach." Yan Fu smiled, looked at Li Mo, who was getting farther and farther away, and suddenly wondered very much, how did this thoughtful and completely unsuitable young man train that "Lanfang descendant"?
