Liu Yifeng and the others waited all night, but they didn't expect to wait for a few pots of Piaoxiang upstairs sent by Boss Liu to the bustard, and they didn't even say a word.

This was completely unexpected by Liu Yifeng, it stands to reason that at least there is a sentence, after all, Feng Shuo solemnly invited the other party to come over when they left. Even if you, Boss Liu, are too cautious and don't come over, so you can leave a sentence or something, and the businessman won't understand this.

A few pots of good daughter red can express too many meanings, and it is impossible to guess at all.

may be a polite refusal, but the daughter red is a return gift to the reed wheel gun. It could also be a gesture of favor to show that you have accepted your kindness. It's more likely that there is no attitude, Boss Liu just wants to delay, so what is the purpose of dragging himself?

Liu Yifeng, who was depressed, could only keep discussing with Feng Shuo and Xiao Zheng whether something was wrong.

The two were also very depressed, and they also thought that they should have done something wrong, but they couldn't find anything wrong with how to restore the scene at that time. After all, they all suffered losses in information, and they didn't know about the fishing law enforcement incident of the Maritime Safety Bureau that year, and they didn't know that the reed wheel gun was the latest standard armament of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone drank their daughter's red and discussed it until midnight.

When the old bustard couldn't help but come to hint again about whether to arrange for the girl to spend the night, Liu Yifeng asked Feng Shuo to go to the old bustard to test Boss Liu's whereabouts, and learned that the courtyard door of Boss Liu had been locked and the light in the room had been extinguished, which meant that he had slept.

This will be the highest point of the moon, about 1 o'clock, Liu Yifeng is not sleepy at all, and staying up late is the norm for him. Others can't, and they can't do it. Because Feng Shuo and Jin Chengyou ran out secretly and had to be put back, Liu Yifeng asked Lao Wang to take the two back to the boat, and Xiao Zheng took him to find a noodle stall to eat noodles.

This face is paralyzed near Piaoxiang Building, and it is basically open until the sun comes out, and the taste is naturally very ordinary, but Liu Yifeng feels very kind.

He has been working while going to school since high school, his father ran away with another woman when he was 5 years old, and his mother raised him until he was 13 years old and remarried. Since the age of 16, he has been working in the back kitchen of a restaurant and an Internet café to make money, and his ability to cook, the ability to fight and the maturity far beyond his age were practiced during this period.

After working in the middle of the night, he eats the cheapest noodles at a street noodle stall, which is something he is very used to.

"Two heads of garlic."

Xiao Zheng is obviously not the first time to come to this kind of place to eat, and he is familiar with the garlic that is coming.

"You're not from Fujian, how do you get used to eating garlic?"

"Most of the crew members of the Nanyang class are northerners, and they have taken them badly."

The temperature was around 5 degrees Celsius, but the two of them didn't feel cold. The daughter's red is yellow wine, there is nothing when she drinks it, but the stamina is very strong, and the two of them will not get drunk, but the accelerated blood flow after drinking makes them hot all over.

Liu Yifeng and Xiao Zheng deliberately chose a corner because they wanted to discuss the matter of the firecracker, and there was no one around. Later psychology has studied that too closed and narrow an environment can allow two relatively strangers to slowly open their hearts. Both of them also drank some rice wine, and the fiery alcohol flowed all over their bodies, which made their bodies relax and subconsciously relax their nerves.

Originally, they were still talking about tonight, but before they knew it, the two of them were talking about their own affairs.

"Xiao Zheng, why are you willing to go on an adventure with us? Finding gold mines doesn't necessarily mean getting rich, but the income from being a crew member is quite high. ”

Xiao Zheng peeled off the garlic skin and said, "It's too boring." ”

Bored?

Liu Yifeng was stunned, feeling that this guy who is one year younger than himself went to sea not for the high income of the crew, but for seeking excitement?

Then he told his story.

He was born in a local family of ordinary officials in Quanzhou, and he was barely born with a golden key, and his family also arranged a broad road for him to become a magistrate from the grassroots level since he went to county school at the age of 13, but he didn't like it at all.

At the age of 17, Zheng Zhilong fled to Yizhou Island, across the sea from Fujian, and joined his uncle Huang Cheng, who was an official in the Maritime Safety Bureau.

Huang Cheng saw that this kid was not an official, he yearned for adventure and excitement, especially for the most fascinated by the stories at sea and overseas, and often pulled Huang Cheng to tell him about the Maritime Safety Bureau's discovery of Bonizhou, the competition for Luzon with the Francois people, and the discovery of Dongshan Prefecture by the northern route.

Among them, Xiao Zheng's favorite is the story of the battle of wits and courage between the Navy and the Francophone in the South China Sea, followed by the story of how the explorers of the Maritime Safety Bureau discovered Dongshan Prefecture with nine deaths.

Huang Cheng is not a traditional official, and because the Maritime Safety Bureau is mainly responsible for overseas affairs, some concepts are very different from those of the Central Plains. He was very supportive of his nephews going out to have a look, just as His Majesty had told them to open their eyes to the world when he established the Maritime Administration.

The officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau opened their eyes and looked at the world and found that the Celestial Empire is indeed still the Celestial Empire, and in the popular words of the imperial court, my Ming Dynasty is still invincible in the world, but it does not mean that it will be invincible forever. The strong Han, the Tang Dynasty, and even the Tyrant Yuan were once invincible in the world, and they were not the same as perishing, not to mention that their Ming Dynasty had only recently defeated the old enemy in the north.

There has always been a saying within the Maritime Safety Bureau: The external enemies of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be the nomads in the north, but other countries overseas, and we must let everyone in the world understand this.

This statement was agreed by the Maritime Safety Administration from top to bottom after the Protectorate of Annam went to war because of Luzon and Francison, but the two sides were forced to divide Luzon equally. It was also after that time that the Cabinet accelerated the development of artillery downsizing and put ships on board, because the Navy essentially lost to the Francs, but won on land in Luzon.

Huang Cheng felt that it was necessary to let Xiao Zheng know about the overseas situation, and wrote a letter to persuade Xiao Zheng's parents, who were far away in Quanzhou, to let Xiao Zheng follow him.

Xiao Zheng's parents felt that the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau were also officials, and since he was not satisfied with the magistrate route he had arranged for him, it was also excellent to take the route of his uncle's Maritime Safety Bureau.

But they never imagined that Xiao Zheng applied for the navy under the cover of Huang Cheng.

However, the navy, as the latest branch of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty's heart and soul treasure, even ordinary seafarers, have extremely high requirements. At least more than half of the people in the navy are from county schools and know how to read. And in the Northern, Southern and Western armies, only officers could read.

Although Xiao Zheng was full of interest in the navy, the navy had no interest in him: he was defeated.

couldn't enter the navy, so Huang Cheng suggested that it was good for Xiao Zheng to be a crew member. It just so happened that Liu Yifeng and their Nanyang-class ship were recruiting crews, and Xiao Zheng joined in two years ago.

"If what I value is money, why don't I listen to my parents and become an official? It's so boring, I don't like that kind of life. ”

Liu Yifeng, who said this, felt that time and space were a little out of order.

If it is a later life, two young people in their early 20s are chatting about their life plans at a night stall, not wanting to listen to their parents' arrangements to take the public examination, but preparing to go on their own, which is a very common situation.

But in this era, Xiao Zheng's concept can be said to be advanced to the point of being a little unfilial.

"Money or not, I really don't care, I just want to follow you to the depths of Dongshan State." Xiao Zheng's eyes reflected the light of the lanterns at the noodle stall, and said, "I heard that the Jinshan City area is the area that the Maritime Safety Bureau has set foot in for the first time, and it is completely different from Jishan City and Jishan City. ”

Of course it's different, from the southernmost part of the polar circle to the middle of the northern temperate zone, it can be the same.

At this time, the noodles of the two were served, which was an ordinary noodle soup, which was not very delicious, but it was better than the hot temperature. The icy cold air was dispelled by the heat of the noodles, and after both of them didn't speak and buried their heads in eating most of the time, Liu Yifeng continued the topic just now:

"But if we want to go to Jinshan City, we have to dispose of that batch of firearms, if Boss Liu doesn't buy it, we can only risk disposing of it on the black market."

"Why don't you just deal with it on the black market?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"First, the black market is definitely going to drive down prices. Second, this matter was exposed later, the black market is not as good as Boss Liu, it can't run, it's easy to investigate. Third, I'm afraid of black eating black. ”

Xiao Zheng nodded in agreement. said: "Indeed, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, Boss Liu is mobile, and there are too many possibilities for him to get the fire gun, and it is not easy to check." The black market is different, although the Maritime Safety Bureau has been dealt with on the surface, but the Maritime Safety Bureau is determined to investigate, and they can't run away. ”

"Xiao Zheng, tell me again about the situation when you and Feng Shuo went to meet Boss Liu."

While eating, the two restored the situation in Boss Liu's room this night, and discussed various possibilities.

Xiao Zheng's performance was even more energetic than Liu Yifeng.

To be honest, after discovering that Liu Yifeng had intercepted the smuggled firearm from the previous captain, he was ready to report it. But I didn't think it was exciting to report it, and the idea at that time was to take the risk of catching all of them by myself and get everyone stolen. But after overhearing Liu Yifeng's plan, he felt that it seemed more interesting, and as soon as his head was hot, he subconsciously exposed himself.

And after he was exposed, he didn't know why he chose to join Liu Yifeng's team. Although he didn't show it in the whole process, he was actually immersed in a passionate excitement, and he still is. It looks calm, but it's actually impulsive.

This feeling is very addictive to him, and the last time he was in this kind of feeling was the first time he went to sea.

Huang Cheng and Liu Yifeng are both very accurate, Xiao Zheng pursues excitement and does not like to live a step-by-step life.

The matter of selling fire guns seems to be nothing special, but as long as Xiao Zheng thinks that this is a crime, and the crime is the highest deserving punishment according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he is extremely excited, and secretes a lot of adrenaline, which makes him so excited that he can't wait to go back to Piaoxianglou to ask a girl to go to Wushan together.

But he didn't want to go back, and discussed very seriously with Liu Yifeng why Boss Liu didn't even give face.

"Could it be that Boss Liu is just cautious?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, but I still think that Feng Shuo said that kind of thing at the time, and he also gave a firecracker, as a businessman, why does he have to come to see us, at least he has to leave a scene."

"He's not going to go to the Maritime Bureau to snitch, is he?"

Liu Yifeng was also shocked, but immediately overturned this possibility: "That's not enough." ”

When he went to tell the whistle, he wasn't afraid that he would say that Boss Cheng knew that he was going to buy a firecracker. Boss Liu's buttocks are not wiped clean, and he will not do this kind of thing.

Liu Yifeng and Xiao Zheng were not talking, pulling the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and fell into thought.
