"I don't know about Daddy's situation." Xu Keming said.

When Xu Qian heard this, her face showed uneasiness again. Yu Ren on the side hurriedly persuaded, "This is not a place to talk, let's go back first and talk about it later!" ”

So the brother and sister got off the springboard side by side. followed, Xu Hai's boat also arrived, and Xu Hai shouted on it without waiting to finish the springboard. "Keming, how is the situation of the second brother, why didn't you come back together?"

Yu Ren noticed that this time they came to the dock to pick up the boat, not only a few of them, but also many people on the island. Most of them were family members, and they went to sea with Xu Xinsu. Seeing that only Xu Keming came back with two or three boats, many people showed a look of disappointment on their faces.

Some people listened to the conversation between Xu Keming and the others, showing a frightened look, and some people even began to sobble in a low voice.

Yu Ren glanced at the crowd around him and hurriedly stopped him. "The big boss will naturally be fine. With the life-and-death relationship between the big boss and the big boss Li, even if there is a big thing, it can be revealed.

If the Li family really wants to embarrass our Xu family, how could the Keming brothers retreat so easily. Don't worry, you'll all know the situation in a while. ”

Yu Ren's words seemed to remind Xu Qian and Xu Hai, and both of them stopped talking. But Xu Keming obviously didn't understand Yu Ren's intentions, and he wanted to say something more, "It's not ......"

Yu Ren had already stopped him. "Let's talk about it when we get home!"

When a few people returned home, many of the people who had been picking up people at the dock also followed. They gathered outside the house to inquire about the fleet.

In the past, their Xu family fleet went to sea, whether it was to the East Ocean or the South Sea, almost all of them went to the same destination. This time, however, everyone came back in several batches. This has never been the case. They also had a hunch that this time something was going to happen.

Inside the house, Xu Qian took her brother's hand, "How is Daddy?" ”

Xu Keming shook his head.

Xu Qian's face changed greatly. "You, you mean ......"

When Xu Keming saw his sister's expression, he quickly explained, "No, no." It's just that I don't know what happened to my father.

At that time, not long after Brother Yu and the third uncle left, Li Bo personally came to the port to arrest people. Dad said that Brother Yu had just accompanied the third uncle with a few boats of goods and left first. Li Bo didn't believe it, so he sent someone to search the ship. Of course it wasn't. Daddy and Li Bo seem to have a few arguments.

So Li Bo threw up his sleeves and left. When my father saw that Uncle Li was gone, he hurriedly summoned me and told me to bring a few boats back to China first.

I said that the ship was not finished yet, or wait. My father scolded me, saying that I was just staring at these small profits in front of me. I didn't dare say any more, so I came back with three boats. As for the rest of the matter, I don't know. ”

After Xu Keming finished speaking, Xu Qian's face showed a look of disappointment. Having said so much, the issue they were most concerned about, but Xu Xinsu's safety was still unknown in the end.

"However, not long after our ship left the port, we saw many ships flying the flag of the Li family coming from the direction of Hirado Castle, and each of them had cannons. I wanted to go back and inform my father. But when my father left the port, he specially told me that no matter what happened, I was not allowed to turn back, but to drive the ship forward.

So, I had to send a small boat back to report to my father. I don't know what happened after that. ”

When Xu Hai heard this, he slapped his chair. "The Li family really attacked us. It seems that Boss Li is not going to take care of the old feelings.

Xiaoqian, what should we do now? ”

"Now we don't have to do anything. Although the Li Xu family had a bad relationship. But Lieber must have been thousands of miles away. And even if Sister Ying received Li Bo's order, she would never do anything to our Xu family. So, now there will be nothing wrong with the island.

For now, we can only wait for news from Daddy. What I'm most worried about is that if the Li and Xu families fight this time, our Xu family will lose too much, and I don't know if it will cause the government to look at it. If the government takes advantage of this to send troops against us, we will have no place to stand.

So now we can only wait. Wait for Daddy to hear from them. ”

"In that case, why don't you send more people in advance to the Songjiang area to inquire about the news of the officers and soldiers. In case something happens, let's just look forward to the wind. Yu Ren interjected.

"That's a good idea. I'll send someone to do it now. Xu Hai said and left.

In this way, everyone waited for another three days with a hanging heart, and finally saw Xu Xinsu's fleet. This time, instead of a few sporadic boats, all of them are back.

From a distance, the ships seemed to be intact, with no signs of battle. Everyone was relieved.

When they got home, they asked what had happened. Xu Xinsu briefly told everyone about their situation at that time.

"When I saw my eldest brother go away in a rage, I knew that he would gather a fleet against us. So, I immediately called Keming over and asked him to take a few boats with him first. Then I immediately gathered all my men and told them to put down all their work at once and return to the ship at once.

Although many of the goods have not yet arrived and have not yet been processed, I know that if we do not leave the port in a hurry, as long as we are blocked in the harbor by the big brother's fleet, there will be no way to escape.

Fortunately, I saw the opportunity in time. No sooner had forty-five of our ships left the harbor than the eldest brother's fleet moved. Most of their ships are larger than ours and have more guns. However, there are not as many of their ships as ours.

I had our ships lined up outside the harbor and waited. At first, the Li family's big ship was still a little restless. That Jiang Fuxiang was very arrogant on the boat, saying that this time we would have no return no matter what.

Later, the eldest brother's ship came, and Jiang Fuxiang stopped jumping.

Our ship and the Li family's ship faced off like this for a full day, and neither side fired a gun. The next day, the Li family's boat suddenly withdrew.

But I didn't dare to go back to port. So he came back with everyone. ”

"It turned out to be a missed shot!" When Yu Ren heard this, he was relieved.

After so many days of worrying, I finally put my mind at ease again. Yu Ren saw that Xu Xinsu was fine, and his heart was half relieved. However, because of his relationship, the Xu and Li families officially tore their faces. Although the contradiction actually existed for a long time, even without him, the Xu and Li families would have to turn their faces sooner or later. This is the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. But Yu Ren didn't think so, he always felt that he caused this conflict, so he was even more eager to go to Zhejiang to find Li Ying.

Let Li Ying mediate the conflict between the Xu and Li families.

Yu Ren told Xu Xinsu his thoughts. Xu Xinsu didn't say a word after hearing this, but summoned Xu Hai, Liu Long, Xu Keming, Xu Qian and others.

"Yu Renxian's nephew said that he wanted to go to Zhejiang and find Ying's niece to mediate the conflict between our two families, what do you think?"

Liu Long was the first to stand up, "What a solution!" We went to sea this time, because of their Li family's troublemakers, many of our goods did not come and sold, and the goods to be purchased did not enter a few ships. The loss is so big, is it just that?

In my opinion, it is better for us to send some ships and bring heavy artillery to detain all their merchant ships in the Suchang area. Let them also know that our Xu family is not vegetarian. ”

Xu Hai shook his head. "That's not going to work. Although this time we went to sea, it was indeed a big loss. But if we take revenge on the Li family like this. That would be tantamount to declaring war on the Li family. With the strength of our Xu family, we are not the opponent of the Li family at all. Not to mention the strength of Ying's niece, even if it is only the Li family's power in Hirado, it is far above us.

We though the number of ships is not much less than theirs. But it's relatively small. Especially if there are no such large ships. If we really want to fight, we are not one at all. ”

"I think you're afraid of death. This hasn't been fought yet! He first grew the ambition of others and destroyed his own prestige. What's wrong with the big ship, will the big ship definitely win? It was the mule that the horse came out for a walk. I don't believe how much they are at stake in the Li family. Liu Long said, and got up from the chair excitedly. If the big boss agrees, I'm willing to take ten boats to attack Hirado. Guarantee that all the ships of the Li family parked in the harbor will be burned.
