Chapter 16: Promotions
"Get down!"
"Be honest, don't move your hands!"
"The one with the big head, what about you, don't move your hands......"
Yang Ge wandered around the cargo ship with an axe idle, observing how the wolf-like embroidered guards suppressed the cargo ship guards who were several times his size.
At that time, Shen Fan, Xie Laosi and others, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time, finally decided the winner.
I heard a sad laugh: "Shen family boy, fourth uncle, I will take the lead today, take a good seat under Jiuquan, and wait for your Shen family ......"
As soon as Yang Ge turned around, he saw a majestic figure with a bearded hair, with several steel knives stuck in his body, and fell into the Bianhe River.
On the other side, several embroidered guards gathered together like stacked arhats, although they were too far away to see it really, but they could hear the unwilling and angry roar of the tartar coming from that side.
'Oh, it's finally time to call it a day......
Yang Ge only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and instead took advantage of the lack of attention from the embroidered guards around him to sneak into the cargo hold.
He was a little curious, what kind of things did the big business go from south to north in this era...... Didn't Xie Laosi say it at the beginning? They've shipped things they shouldn't have hauled, and even if it's just an excuse to attract attention, they're sure to be some real guys.
It's all here, you have to see it!
As soon as he entered the cabin, Yang Ge smelled a somewhat familiar smell, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it was.
By the light of the swaying fire on the deck, Yang Ge saw a long wooden box neatly stacked in the cargo hold, and he leaned up and tentatively reached out and lifted it, but it didn't move, and it seemed that they were all nailed.
He hesitated for a few seconds, but still did not restrain his curiosity, and picked up his axe to pry open a wooden box, only to see that it was filled with a large amount of dry straw.
He pulled open the straw, revealing black, long strips of things before his eyes.
The light was too dim for him to recognize at first glance.
Until he picked up one and took a closer look at it by the light of the fire that flickered on the deck......
"Gan!"
Yang Ge was so frightened that his hands trembled, threw the object in his hand, turned around and ran to the deck, and before he could run a few steps, he was covered in white sweat.
He rushed to the deck and shouted with trepidation: "There are guns in the hold, and gunpowder!" ”
When the guards on deck heard his shout, they all looked at him with a strange gaze that seemed to say, 'Why, don't you know?' ’
Facing a pair of strange eyes, Yang Ge's voice became smaller and smaller, but the horror in his heart continued unabated, and finally only a low murmur remained: "Crazy, you are all crazy......"
Knowing that the enemy has guns and gunpowder, you still dare to rush up with torches?
Are you not afraid of death, or am I not afraid of death?
"Your Excellency!"
Fang Ke's voice sounded behind Yang Ge, and as soon as Yang Ge turned around, he saw his face crying and laughing: "Those gunpowders are at the bottom of the cabin, and they are separated by several layers of fireproof cotton, unless a fire burns the entire ship, otherwise you just want it to blow up, it can't be blown up!" ”
Yang Ge was stunned and pointed sharply at the cargo hold: "What about those guns?" ”
Fang Ke was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, what do you mean by those fire guns? Don't be fooled by the rumors, it's not a hassle to use, it's not very powerful, unless you give them enough time and enough people to form a firecracker, it's nowhere near as good as a bow and arrow! ”
Yang Ge finally came back to his senses when he heard this, knowing that the muskets in the cargo hold should be backward front-loading gunpowder guns, and their lethality was indeed limited.
But...... Which chemistry teacher taught you that the fireproof cotton covered with gunpowder will not explode?
Yang Ge felt that in the future, it would be better to deal with these people at noon, otherwise something would happen sooner or later!
"If it's okay, let's get off the ship first, there are so many torches on the deck, it's not safe on the ship after all."
He said as he walked to the side of the ship.
Fang Ke followed his footsteps: "Wait a minute, the comrades are salvaging the Xie family, the Lord of the Thousand Households has an order, you must see people in life and corpses in death!" ”
Yang Ge looked over the river and saw a large net of iron cables covering the entire length of the river, slowly lifted from the bottom of the cargo ship, and the neighing of mules and horses on both sides of the riverbank.
He stared at the big fish churning in the net, and suddenly realized: "No wonder you dare to do it in the center of the river, it turns out that you have been prepared!" ”
Embroidered clothes and guards do things...... There are really a few brushes!
……
Yang Ge lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of hot air rose.
He leaned over to the edge of the iron pot and sniffed the hot breath gently, opened his eyes and said to himself, "Without chili peppers, after all, there is a lack of taste......
"Hey, I'm here at the right time!"
Just in time, a voice that seemed to be smiling came from outside the door.
As soon as Yang Ge heard this familiar tone, he said "it's broken" in his heart, and hurriedly put on the lid of the pot and walked out of the stove house quickly, and saw Shen Fan, who had changed into a black bamboo white robe, standing in the sun with an oiled paper bag, teasing Xiao Huang with fried hair.
This guy seems to have taken a bath, and he has changed a warm white jade headband on his head, with the white robe with excellent materials and fine workmanship, from the inside to the outside, he exudes a leisurely and sassy atmosphere, and even the slightly sinister scar on his cheek has not affected his sassy spirit at all!
I have to say that when this guy is not murderous, he can be called a killer of grandma!
However, Yang Ge only glanced at him, and his gaze moved to the courtyard door...... Closed courtyard doors.
He sighed tiredly.
Sensing Yang Ge's gaze, Shen Fa turned his head, raised the oiled paper bag in his hand to him, and said with a smile: "I don't eat for nothing, guy." ”
Yang Ge resisted the urge to roll his eyes, turned around and wiped his hands on his apron and returned to the stove: "Shouldn't you have a lot to do today?" ”
Shen Fa followed him into the stove house without treating himself as an outsider, staring at the big iron pot that was steaming, and said without raising his head: "No matter how busy you are, you can't be neglected!" ”
Yang Ge lifted the lid of the pot, picked up the iron spoon and quickly put out the sauerkraut fish in the pot: "Don't, as long as you treat me as a fart, it will be the biggest reward for me!" ”
Shen Fan's gaze shifted to the soup bowl with the iron spoon: "I don't allow you to look down on yourself so much, you are more expensive than you imagined!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks holder, took a pair of chopsticks, fish and sauerkraut and fed them into his mouth, and sighed comfortably after chewing a little: "Don't say anything else, with your skills, your future should definitely not be limited to a shopkeeper!" ”
Yang Ge: "Oh, I've been promoted, I'm now the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn!" ”
Shen Fa: ......
