In the northern sea of Bird and Flower Island, three fleets converged and stopped less than a mile away from each other.

Yu Tongyuan ordered to put down the dinghy and send someone to negotiate with Haikou.

Half an hour later, the dinghy went and returned, bringing back a pirate, who was the dog-headed military master white fan wearing a Confucian shirt and shaking a paper fan.

As a representative of Haikou, he came to discuss the details of the exchange, and in order to show his sincerity, he also brought a gray-haired old man.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, you're worried about us to death." Yu Tongyuan recognized it as Wang Dayuan and hurriedly ordered someone to support him.

After a few months in the hands of pirates, Lao Wang has lost his weight and has a few more scars on his face, obviously suffering no less.

"Master Hou, I never dreamed that I would see you again......" Wang Dayuan burst into tears, eager to throw himself into Yu Tongyuan's arms and cry.

"The two of them turned back, and some of them had time to catch up." The white fan said, adding in his heart, 'It's just in the underworld.'" With a smile on his face, he said, "Let's inspect the goods first." ”

"Yes." Yu Tongyuan nodded, and took the white fan to the row of wooden boxes behind him. He took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, opened the lock of a box, and his subordinates opened a mouthful, revealing the yellow gold ingots inside.

Seeing the box full of gold, the white fan's pupils involuntarily shrank sharply, and he swallowed hard.

"Ten chests in all, each with ten thousand taels of gold." Yu Tongyuan said lightly.

"That's only 100,000 taels, and what about the other 900,000 taels?" The white fan folded the folding fan, inserted it into the collar, and asked in a deep voice while picking up a heavy gold ingot and carefully checking the fineness.

"In the other nine boats, each boat is a hundred thousand taels." Yu Tongyuan explained: "Of course, such a valuable thing can't be put in a boat. ”

"Hmm." Of course, the white fan understood the truth, and took out the scale to weigh the gold ingot. This is not to see if there is enough weight, but to check whether the gold ingot is adulterated with other things.

He is an experienced old account office, and he knows it as soon as he calls it.

"Okay, it's pure gold." The white fan looked at the scale star and nodded with satisfaction. He randomly checked a few gold ingots from the rest of the boxes, and there was no problem, so he put them away and said to Yu Tongyuan: "Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the person with the other." People are good friends, but how can this gold be transported? ”

"Aren't you still a maritime merchant? Transporting and unloading goods all day long, don't know how to transport them? Yu Tongyuan asked rhetorically.

"We all have special rings on the boat, and the cable can be threaded through to lift things on the boat." The white fan looked around and pointed to the big iron ring fixed to the stern of the ship: "Isn't there this on the ship?" ”

"Then let's use the cable through the two ends of the rings and transport it to you." Yu Tongyuan said lightly.

"Yes, but it's such a valuable thing, and the box is so heavy, if it breaks the cable, the damage will be great." The white fan said worriedly again.

Don't look at the conversation between the two is unremarkable, but every sentence is full of calculation. The purpose of the two is exactly the same, which is to fight for the most advantageous offensive position when the fire is in full swing.

"Of course, what do you have to do?" Yu Tongyuan nodded and kicked the ball back again.

"Let's put up two more brackets, we just so have a batch of timber on board that is going to be used as a rudder." The white fan said in the most ordinary tone: "Set it between the two boats, make a double insurance for the box, so that it is foolproof." ”

"Good idea, just do it." Yu Tongyuan is as good as a stream.

So it was so happily decided. This matter must be discussed, and the rest of the things are easy to discuss, and the two finalized the other details in a few words, and the white fan went back by boat.

~~

Here, Yu Tongyuan immediately took Wang Dayuan into the cabin to report.

When Lao Liu and Lao Wang met, they were naturally embarrassed again. However, at this time, he didn't care about letting the two of them sensationalize, and Yu Tongyuan hurriedly reported the latest situation.

"Isn't it enough to connect two boat cables? Do you want to add another crossbar? The sixth frowned and said, "How do I feel that they are not well-intentioned?" ”

Wang Dayuan listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, what do you mean 'also'.

"Not really." Yu Tongyuan nodded and said, "Originally, as long as the cable was cut, the two boats would be separated. Now with the addition of a crossbar, and the kind of wood that can be used as a rudder, it will be difficult to separate the two boats. ”

"It seems that they want not only the king's money, but also the king's ship and the king's people." King Chu touched his fleshy chin and grinned: "Isn't this a coincidence, everyone wants to go together." ”

"Hey, hey." Yu Tongyuan also smiled: "In the words of His Highness, this is called 'two-way running'." ”

"Haha, yes, yes, it saves us a lot of effort." The sixth smiled and said, "Aren't you worried, the gunners are too angry, are you afraid that they won't be able to hit accurately?" Now you don't have to worry. ”

"But Your Highness, this kind of fight must be very tragic, don't probe." Yu Tongyuan said uneasily.

"Don't worry." The king of Chu looked impatient: "I treat this king as a turtle." ”

"Feel free to scold." Yu Tongyuan laughed with him and quickly flashed out.

As soon as Yu Tongyuan left, Wang Dayuan finally couldn't help but ask: "Wang, Wangye, let's just go to this boat, do you want to fight them?" ”

"Don't worry about this, just accompany this king to eat and drink here, and listen to the movement outside." Zhu Zhen sat down with a smile, picked up his chopsticks again, sandwiched a piece of sashimi as thin as a cicada's wing, dipped it in soy sauce and mustard, and ate it beautifully.

He doesn't dare to eat raw fish in the usual freshwater fish, and he is not afraid when he reaches the sea.

~~

On the other side, the white fan also returned to his boat and reported the situation to the big boss.

Chen Shanghai was overjoyed when he heard this: "I didn't expect that His Highness to be really a believer!" ”

"Yes, a million taels of gold!" All his subordinates were also boiling, and they couldn't hold back their excitement and said, "I have never dreamed of so much gold." ”

"True righteousness, why don't we cooperate with Lao Wu and switch to His Royal Highness the King of Chu?!" Someone is about to defect on the spot.

Before the words fell, he was slashed to the ground by Chen Shanghai. He carried the bloody treasure knife and glared viciously at a group of men with ape hearts.

"Who else wants to be a lackey of the Ming Dynasty?!" Chen Shanghai asked sharply: "Say it, I'll send him on the road together, and there will be a companion on the Huangquan Road!" ”

"No, no, we have all followed the big boss until now, how can we surrender again?" The leaders looked frightened, and hurriedly argued: "Even Lao Gou said it casually, not really have this kind of thought. ”

"It's not okay to just talk about it!" Chen Shanghai kicked the old Gou's head into the sea and shouted, "Put away those careful thoughts and go separately." As soon as the gold arrives, immediately start attacking! ”

As he spoke, he shook the blood beads on the knife with a murderous flick. "In this battle, the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

"Yes!" The leaders hurriedly answered in unison.

ps. The third watch is over, and the weekend is happy, everyone.
