Chapter 150: One Mountain and Two Tigers
Yu Ren said, and asked the sailor to turn the rudder. When the sailor was forced by him to be embarrassed, Yu Ren suddenly felt a blow to the back of his head. Then he fell.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and as far as the eye could see, there was the sea all around. Yu Ren knew that they had moved away from Hirado Island at this time. I'm afraid that Li Dan has already brought someone here. Even if he rushed back now, what should have happened had already happened, and it would be useless for him to go back.
Yu Ren sighed heavily. I'm afraid this misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper. It seems that he must go to Li Ying immediately, explain Xue Zongtao's matter to her first, and then let her explain to her father. After all, she is Li Dan's daughter, and it is easier to believe it.
Having made such a decision, Yu Ren only hoped that the ship would arrive ashore soon.
However, this time their return voyage was not very smooth. There was also a typhoon halfway through, and they had to take shelter on a deserted island for a day.
By the time they returned to Nansha Island, it had been more than a month later. At this time, Xu Qian had already returned a few days ahead of them.
Originally, Yu Ren planned to go south to find Li Ying as soon as the ship docked in Hong Kong. However, because of Xu Qian's words, Yu Ren stayed for the time being.
Xu Qian sighed heavily after hearing about Xue Zongtao. "It seems that from now on, our ship will never want to go to the East again."
Xu Hai was puzzled. "Why?"
Xu Qian glanced at Yu Ren, and then said, "Hasn't the third uncle seen it yet?" In the past two years, Li Bo's family fleet has traveled back and forth to the Susong area several times. In the past, they never came to Susong to buy goods! Whatever you need, it's straight from our house!
I once heard the subordinates of the Li family secretly discuss, saying that this was all Jiang Fuxiang's idea. Obviously, he deliberately wanted to compete with our Xu family for territory.
The third uncle thinks that if the Li family grabs land with us. Can we rob them? ”
Xu Hai groaned for a while, but still shook his head. "No, I can't. It is estimated that if we really want to fight, we will not be able to compete with them anywhere else, except for some advantages in the Songjiang area. Even if the team led by Li Ying does not participate, just if we fight with the Li family in Pingdo, it will be a game of defeat. ”
"Isn't that it? Maybe Li Bo didn't want to fight with our Xu family, but the people under him must have wanted to do so, especially that Jiang Fuxiang.
And this time Xue Zongtao's incident just provided Jiang Fuxiang and them with an excuse, and just instigated Li Bo, who was angry, to attack our Xu family.
In my estimation: if Li Bo cares about the old love, the best ending for Daddy can only be left with his whole body. If Li Bo doesn't miss the old love, I'm afraid that this time my father will have to worry about his life. ”
Yu Ren was taken aback. "No, it won't! Haven't your family and the Li family always had the best relationship? No matter what, Ying'er's father won't do anything to your father! ”
Xu Qian shook her head. "It's a good relationship, that's just the surface. In fact, in recent years, there have been several conflicts between the big and small leaders of our two families over business with each other. It's just because my father and Li Bo are pressed above that it didn't make a big fuss.
Now, as soon as Xue Zongtao's matter comes out, Li Bo will inevitably be angry with my father. Can this still lead to any good results, you think? ”
Yu Ren stopped talking. He knew that in such a situation, even if he was himself, he was afraid that he would not let Xu Xinsu go easily.
"Otherwise, let's quickly gather all the ships in Nansha, assemble the artillery, and go to the aid of the second brother!"
"No need. The East Ocean is thousands of miles away, and even if it is smooth, it will take more than half a month to reach it. When the third uncle catches up, everything will be useless. Maybe the Li family mistakenly thought that we were here to attack them. The third uncle only needs to take a few boats on this route and search back and forth.
Remember, in case you encounter the Li family's ship, you must avoid it from a distance, and you must not have a conflict until it is absolutely necessary. Although Xu Qian's analysis results were very amazing, she herself still looked calm. Yu Ren couldn't help but secretly admire this girl's psychological quality, being able to stay in danger is really not easy for a fourteen-five-year-old girl like her.
"Okay, then I'll go gather the ships." With that, Xu Hai hurried away.
After Xu Hai left, Yu Ren hurriedly asked. "What about me? How can I help? ”
Xu Qian shook her head and said lightly, "You better hurry up and find Sister Ying!" You can't get involved in this matter. After speaking, Xu Qian turned around and left.
Yu Ren was a little stunned. I feel that Xu Qian has changed. In the past, she treated herself like her own family, and she never had any scruples in front of her. But since the incident that happened before the marriage was consummated, every time she sees herself, she is always so indifferent. This made Yu Ren feel even more guilty in her heart, obviously although this little girl pretended not to care on the surface, in fact, this matter had greatly damaged her self-esteem.
Return to your accommodation. Yu Ren lay on the bed in a daze. Although Xu Qian obviously has opinions about herself, she is still not sloppy at all about the accommodation she arranges.
Do you want to go to Li Ying now? Yu Ren thought.
If he really left like this, if something really happened to Xu Xinsu, wouldn't he be guilty for the rest of his life. Although Yu Ren's relationship with their Xu family is actually not particularly close. But Xu Xinsu's family is very good to him. It was the young master Xu who didn't look down on him at first, but he also changed his attitude and became much closer to him.
And the conflict between the Xu and Li families this time was also caused by him, although the root cause is not him, but Yu Ren always thinks that he has an unshirkable responsibility. How can I leave at this time? As an upright man, how can he be so irresponsible and so irresponsible!
After thinking about it, Yu Ren finally decided to stay. He first had to see how things were going to go and see if he could help.
After several days, the sea has been calm, and the results reported by the ships that went out to sea every day were that no big ship was found.
Every time Xu Qian heard the news, she frowned.
On this day, before noon, I suddenly heard someone report that he had found the ship of the eldest young master.
When Xu Qian heard this, she hurriedly got up from the chair. "How's it going?"
"I don't know. The third master just saw the eldest young master's ship from a distance, so he hurriedly sent me back to report, for fear that the young lady would be worried. ”
"Let's go, let's see." Xu Qian said and walked out.
Yu Ren hurriedly followed. Xu Qian still looked very calm, but when she crossed the threshold, she was careless and almost tripped over the threshold. Yu Ren, who was following her closely, hurriedly reached out and held her up.
Xu Qian glanced back at Yu Ren. In this eye, there is sadness, impatience, and worry about the fate of his father and brother. There is so much meaning in this glance. Yu Ren even saw tears in her eyes.
Yu Ren sighed lightly, she must be just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, although because of the critical situation, she had to pretend to be a strong woman in front of people, but in her heart, is this her true face?
"Let's go! No matter what happens, I will support you with all my might. Yu Ren said softly.
Only then did Xu Qian let go of the hand that was tightly gripping Yu Ren's arm, turned around and continued to rush towards the dock. After listening to Yu Renfangcai's words, she seemed to suddenly have strength, and she felt much more solid in her heart.
When several people came to the dock, Xu Keming's boat had not yet arrived, but the hull of the ship coming from afar was already faintly visible in the white mist.
Yu Ren felt that Xu Qian, who was standing beside him, was extremely nervous. Yu Ren gently grabbed one of her small hands. "Don't worry. Since the Keming brothers' ship has returned, it means that it is fine. If something happens, we'll never see his ship. ”
Probably Yu Ren's comfort worked, and he felt the trembling little hand in his hand gradually calm down.
Wait until the big ship comes close and comes to a halt. Xu Qian was the first to run towards the big boat. Xu Keming's figure finally appeared on the side of the boat.
"Brother, how is Daddy?" Xu Qian didn't wait for Xu Keming to get off the boat, so she met him on the gangplank.
