"This kind of management is good, it's better than a plate of loose sand. Chen Daolin nodded: "Who set this rule? The person who set this rule has a bit of a brain." ”
"I heard that it was decided by the governor of the province of Newhoven. Goldtooth had all the questions, but after all, he was only a grassroots mud leg, and he didn't know much, and most of them were rumors from the streets: "The Doge of Newhofen has been working here for almost fifteen years." The governor was very popular with the people here, and both the large chambers of commerce and the guilds of small merchants supported him. The rules he set made everyone rich, the big chamber of commerce continued to make money, and the small chamber of commerce could also eat enough without going hungry, and in the past, everyone fought each other and competed, and in the end, everyone lost money together, there were many fewer things. I heard that this governor is doing a good job here, and he was originally going to return to the imperial capital to be promoted, but the pearl merchants of those chambers of commerce were reluctant to let him go, and donated a large amount of money to him every year, asking him to stay here. Moreover, as a governor in Newhoven, those chambers of commerce don't know how much money they pay every year, and they earn more than they do when they return to the imperial capital to become a big official. ”
Chen Daolin just smiled when he heard it. He knew very well that the truth of this kind of high-level change could never be as simple as it circulated among the small people.
The two of them found a boat company not far from the port, where they purchased some food, fresh water, and supplies needed for the ship.
Everyone here recognized the golden tooth, and it was not surprising that he arrived, and after receiving the money, he sent someone to prepare the goods, sent a car, and followed the two back to the dock.
But not far from the boat, on the street, suddenly a few people came to meet and blocked the way of the two.
These people are all dressed in short clothes and capable, and everyone has the smell of the sea, and at a glance they know that they are begging for a living at sea.
Led by a middle-aged man. Lean and lean, but very strong, a pair of small eyes bright, standing in front of him glanced at the gold tooth, there seemed to be a faint color flashing in his expression, and then seemed to show an affectionate smile: "Isn't this the gold tooth brother?
When Golden Tooth looked at this person, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became very nervous, and he subconsciously glanced sideways at Chen Daolin beside him. There was actually a panicked look in his eyes.
Before Chen Daolin could speak, the middle-aged man on the other side frowned, raised his chin slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Golden teeth! Lao Tzu is talking to you, why don't you pretend not to know me?"
“...... I...... I ...... "Gold Tooth sweating profusely." Hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Long, long-faced boss, I ......"
Long face?
Chen Daolin smiled in his heart, and looked at this middle-aged man again, sure enough, because he was thin, his face seemed to be a little narrow.
"Hmph. The long face sneered. His eyes wandered, he looked at Chen Daolin, and then stared at the golden tooth again: "You are here to replenish supplies on the ship? Why did you send you? What about Mario? Where's your Hook boss?"
The gold tooth was hesitant and didn't know how to answer. Chen Daolin smiled lightly, and took the initiative to smile at the golden tooth: "Golden tooth, who are these people?"
"Yes...... It's ......" Goldtooth's face grew paler.
"Who is Your Excellency?" the long face glanced at Chen Daolin, although his expression was a little hostile. But because Chen Daolin is very particular about dressing, his bearing is also a little extraordinary. So he was still a little cautious, and his words were not too polite.
"I'm a passenger of Captain Hook, and the Golden Tooth has come ashore to procure it, and I'm curious about the port, so I'm going to see the scenery. Chen Daolin said lightly.
"It turned out to be a guest of Captain Hook. The long face nodded, ignored Chen Daolin, and glanced at the golden tooth: "This guest has an extraordinary bearing and an unusual identity." It seems that you Hook boss has made a fortune again this time. ”
As he spoke, several of his subordinates behind him all laughed gloomily.
The long face glanced deeply at the gold tooth, and said slowly, "Help me bring a good one to your boss." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and led people past Chen Daolin and the golden tooth.
When they left, Chen Daolin's expression became gloomy, and he squinted at the golden tooth: "Who are these people?"
Golden Tooth cried and mourned: "Alone, one-eyed...... The one-eyed boss!"
"The One-Eyed Man?"
Chen Daolin immediately understood.
One-eyed, isn't he the leader of another gang of black ship forces in Port Dean, who bought Mario's rebellion?
"Master, it's not good!" Golden Tooth trembled and said: "This person is called Long Face just now, and he is the number one right-hand man under One-Eye! Since he is here, One-Eye must also be on this Half Moon Island! I didn't expect that we went to sea to come here, and One-Eye actually came, and he arrived one step ahead of us! Master, we, we ...... it."
Chen Daolin's heart also sank.
He knew that things were probably going to be in trouble.
That one-eyed paid a lot of money to bribe Mario to rebel, but I didn't expect that guy to rush to Half Moon Island to wait for fear that things would change!
This kind of move, it goes without saying!
If Mario's thing is done, I'm afraid that people will have to accept the fruits of the loot.
If Mario fails...... Then One-Eyed brought people here, I'm afraid he was going to take the opportunity to give Hook a fatal blow!
But now he and the Golden Tooth swaggered ashore, coupled with the Golden Tooth's reaction to the words just now...... Then it is clear: Mario's rebellion did not work out!
One-Eyed knew the news of the result, so how could he stop next? "Go back to the ship!"
Chen Daolin's expression was awe-inspiring and he immediately made a decision.
......
The two of them returned to the port dock with the supplies all the way, and asked the people of the ship to load the goods onto the ship, and Chen Daolin immediately ordered Hook to start the ship and leave Half Moon Island as fast as possible!
He told Hook about his encounter with One-Eye's men on the shore, and Hook looked nervous.
He has no subordinates at the moment, and he also knows that if he stays on Half Moon Island, he will be alone, and he will have injuries on his body, and he will not be able to fight the one-eyed man. And the other party arrived here one step earlier, I'm afraid I'm already ready I don't know how much!!
As for Chen Daolin, he didn't want to get involved in the trouble of fighting with One-Eye.
Unexpectedly, both of them were wrong!
Hook took the helm, Mario and Goldtooth did their best to get the ship out of port, but it was less than two hours before the people on board breathed a sigh of relief when they suddenly heard Goldtooth shouting.
The fellow climbed up to the mast and looked into the distance, pointed into the distance, and shouted, "Boss, boss, there's a boat in the back biting us!"
As soon as Golden Tooth was nervous, he subconsciously took the initiative to report to Hook first according to his usual habits.
Hook didn't care about this kind of thing for a moment, his expression changed, he rushed to the stern, took out a monocular, pulled it open, and looked back.
Chen Daolin stood beside him, and could only vaguely see a little sail shadow on the sea in the distance behind him.
"Is it a one-eyed boat? I see a lot of fishing boats in the sea around here. It doesn't have to be with us, is it?" asked Chen Daolin.
Hook put down his binoculars and took a deep breath, his face very ugly.
He raised his head and glanced at Chen Daolin: "It's trouble! It's a one-eyed ship!"
Chen Daolin frowned, and then smiled: "The distance is so far, can he catch up with us?"
"Catch up. Hook nodded: "His is a brig, bigger than my ship, faster than mine! Now the wind is blowing, and they will be able to catch up with us in half an hour at most." ”
Chen Daolin calmed down at this moment, took a deep breath, and showed a hint of determination: "Since you are here, if you can't hide, then you have to come hard." Hmph, I didn't want to cause trouble, but he came up to find trouble!
A magician and a tough wolf warrior, facing a group of pirate-like characters on the ship, Chen Daolin is really not afraid!
Hook nodded, and he also sneered: "If it was usual, I would still be a little jealous, but at this moment, there is a guest on the boat, let's work together, that guy is afraid that he will have to suffer by himself this time!"
After a pause, he smiled proudly: "There are no special guys under One-Eyed who can fight, it's just that he relies on the strength of the crowd, and he collects money and can afford good weapons and equipment." Let's just put away the sails, wait here for him to come, take up the broadside, and destroy him in one go! ”
Chen Daolin pouted and smiled and glanced at Hook.
This guy is trying to take advantage of himself. Taking advantage of the fact that he has such a powerful character by his side, and now that everyone is in the same boat, he used himself to help and destroy his biggest enemy in one go.
However, Chen Daolin didn't care, since people came to the door, it seemed that this battle was inevitable.
He greeted, Chuck had already strode up, and Chen Daolin glanced at the werewolf warrior and made a gesture to him ready for battle.
Chuck showed a hint of excitement in his eyes, drew his sword in his hand, and stood behind Chen Daolin. Although the werewolf covered his face, the eagerness in his eyes was undisguised.
Hook simply relaxed and pulled out the knife in his hand.
But after waiting for a while, he kept looking at the shadow of the sail in the distance, and Hook, who looked very confident, suddenly thought about it, as if he suddenly remembered something: "It seems that something is wrong...... Why didn't his ship speed up to catch up?"
Hook muttered to himself, picked up the binoculars and looked back......
After just one glance, Hook's face suddenly changed drastically! Putting down the binoculars, this unruly man turned pale, and his eyes showed genuine fear!
"Oh no!" Hook cursed, but his voice trembled slightly: "Damn!!, one-eyed bastard!!, he has a cannon !!! on board."
Before Hook's words fell, Chen Daolin heard a loud roar suddenly coming from the sea behind him......
