Great Song Pirate

Chapter 106 Returning to the Island
Li Mutian's work efficiency is really good. Within two days, everything Xu Yi needed was indeed arranged, and the shipment was shipped to Haining Wharf, where he was loaded on a cargo ship from Dulong Island. Xu Yi also ended his trip to Hangzhou, but after Before leaving, he still left behind a few clever subordinates, bought a very inconspicuous small yard in the city of Hangzhou, settled down temporarily, and left a few pairs of pigeons brought with the ship, and told the leader The little boss Feng Shuisheng took good care of them. Once there was something to release these pigeons, the pigeons would naturally fly back to Dulong Island. At the same time, he ordered Feng Shuisheng to do a few things well. The specially selected personnel, although not very good at martial arts, are very clever in mind, and they are also from Laohuyu Island's old department, and there is no problem in loyalty, so they were brought here by Xu Yi.

Xu Yi also left Cuiyu and Yuehong here, and sold two little girls to serve them. After all, he took them back to Dulong Island rashly. Knowing the reason, he did not dare to force Xu Yi to take them away from Hangzhou, and was sending Xu Yi away from Hangzhou with tears.

In order to show their importance to Xu Yi, Li Mutian personally accompanied him back to Haining Wharf. On the way, the two discussed in detail about the establishment of the Escort Bureau in the future, and improved many details. We only need to wait for Xu Yi to go back this time and obtain Jin Huo's consent. , The deployment of ships and manpower came over.

The vehicles and boats traveled conveniently on the river, and with smooth sailing, they soon arrived at Haining Wharf. Steward Li, who got the news, was already waiting for their arrival at the wharf, and the brothers who came with the boat from Dulong Island also recuperated for a few days. The goods were loaded onto the ship, and there were a few more strangers on board, all cobblers recruited by the Li family, who were tricked into Xu Yi's ship.

After bidding farewell to Li Mutian, several Dulong Island cargo ships slowly sailed away from the pier and headed out of Hangzhou Bay. Xu Yi felt quite satisfied with this trip to Hangzhou, at least he figured out the reality of Jiang Desheng , and found a serious way to make a fortune for Dulong Island, which can be regarded as full of ambition.

Something happened on the way. After several days of sailing, the cobblers who were tricked into boarding the ship seemed to realize that something was wrong and started arguing. They refused to follow Xu Yi and the others to Dulong Island. The result was After being intimidated by the pirates on the ship, they realized that there was no way for them to escape in the vast sea. They had no choice but to follow the pirates to work honestly. When they got down, they could only secretly scold the Li family who lied to them to board the boat, which was really immoral, but they had nothing to do about the matter in front of them, and it became a small episode in the itinerary.

When the outline of Dulong Island finally appeared in front of him, Xu Yi and the others went out of the cabin to look at Dulong Island after the notice from the watchman, and felt warm in his heart. After all, after living here for these days, he had already regarded this place as his present. home.

Before the boat came to a stop, Xu Yi saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the crowd welcoming them and waving at him frequently. His heart felt even warmer. As soon as he boarded the gangplank, he led the way off the cargo ship and met the people who greeted them. Yingchun, although they broke up not long ago, the two still feel that they have been separated for a long time. If it weren't for so many people, Xu Yi would definitely hug her into his arms and love her well, but at this time , they could only look at each other and smile, and they understood everything in their hearts. Xu Yi stepped forward to greet Jin Huhu, who also came to greet him. Jin Huo felt relieved when he saw Xu Yi returned safely. , In the past year, he has formed a dependence on Xu Yi, his son-in-law, and his absence always makes him a bit unsure how to take care of things.

Qian Laoben was not on the island, he led a group of brothers to station on Huangyu Island, and Shui Mao took a fleet to go hunting in Fusang waters, but there is no news now, the island is much quieter, no wonder Jin Huo is so eager Let him come back!

There was joy at the pier, and the pirates who stayed on the island rushed onto the ships one after another, and began to unload all kinds of cargo from the cargo ship. Xu Yi asked Xue Tu to accompany Jin Huo to go up to Hangzhou for this special cargo because he wanted to place the special cargo. He told Jin Huhu about the trip, he took Yingchun to settle down the cobblers he tricked to come to the island first, and as for their ideological work, he just handed over to Qin Huzi who waited earlier to do it, don’t worry If they don't work hard for Dulong Island, the power of example is huge!
Yingchun chattered beside Xu Yi and kept talking about what happened on the island during the days when he left the island for Hangzhou. Xu Yi didn't need to understand now. I have a general idea of ​​what happened above.

It turns out that the boat designated by Jin Huohu, who was captured by Pu Yinjian, has finally been completely repaired these days. After repairs by these master shipwrights, the boat has undergone a facelift, and its appearance has changed a lot. From a distance, it looks like a boat. Once a huge cargo ship goes to war, it will set off various flaps and erect masts that can be erected and downturned, and it will immediately become a murderous warship. In order to arm this large ship, several ships from Dulong Island All the ballistas of the old ship were dismantled and placed on the big ship, with a total of twelve installed. Even if the ship goes out to sea and encounters a fleet, there is no need to worry about not being able to deal with them. , Jin Huo was very satisfied with the boat, and he had already launched it, so he immediately took his cronies, boarded the boat and went out to sea for a circle. If he hadn't waited for Xu Yi to come back, he probably would have taken the boat out to rob!

When entering the port just now, Xu Yi was only focused on looking for Yingchun among the crowd, and didn't notice the other boats parked in the bay at all. That's why he knew that the big boat named Zhenhai by him had been repaired. It seems that these craftsmen on the island really worked hard to restore it so quickly.

Fat Guang looked strangely at the messy things such as saltpeter, sulfur, caustic soda and so on that Xu Yi bought back, and asked Xu Yi: "Military Master, why did you bring these things back? You can't eat or drink them, and they don't smell good. !"

Of course Xu Yi wouldn't tell him what it was useful for, so he pretended to say: "These things will be of great use in the future, I can't tell you now, anyway, with this thing, there are really not many people we will be afraid of in the future! And you can make a big fortune!"

Yingchun was also curious at first, so he didn't ask any more questions after hearing what he said. Anyway, these people on the island knew that Xu Yi had never been aimless. Since he got these things, they must be useful to him.

"Has Liu Laoliu returned from whaling?" Xu Yi didn't see Liu Laoliu, but only saw two shaved whale skeletons at the corner of the bay, so he asked.

"I'm back, but after he brought back the two whales, he sailed out to sea and went to hunt for whales. I left the work here to me. I refined a lot of whale oil! I kept it for you, and the whales The tendons and tendons are all processed, and I’m waiting for you to come back to make ballistas! The remaining whale meat is divided into hundreds of catties, which is enough for the brothers to eat for the New Year! Shaking his head to show his success.

"Okay! Well done. In the future, this whaling will be a way for us to make a fortune. Do it well. It is in your interest. Let me deal with the whale oil so that I don't waste it. I have great uses. After the whale skin is processed, give it to the ship. The water ghost brothers all make a water support, so that they don’t have to go into the water naked, and it’s good for keeping warm!” Xu Yi told Fat Guang while calling for people to put these special goods.

"Don't worry! I'll never go wrong with these!" Fat Guang patted the pork belly on his chest and assured.

Yingchun wanted to stay alone with Xu Yi for a while, but she was fat and blind, and kept following him like this. Yingchun was not happy, so she stared at her, and reprimanded him: "Have you fed all those pigeons? Why don't you hurry up and feed the pigeons?" ?”

Fat Guang is not an idiot, he immediately understood what Yingchun meant, turned around and ran away hastily: "Yes, yes, it's time to feed the pigeons! Hehe, military advisor, please stay with Missy well! Haha!"

"Boy, are you going to die?" Yingchun saw his thoughts, picked up a small stone, threw it over, and heard Fat Guang's scream from a distance: "Oh! My head..." Then he ran away at a speed that didn't match his size, and disappeared without a trace.

After finishing all this work, Xu Yi was going to see Jin Huhu, and Yingchun went to arrange a welcome banquet for them. Xu Yi stepped into Jin Huhu's hall.

"Boy Xu is back! Your brain is really good. You can come up with the idea of ​​opening an escort agency. I, an old man, really doubt how your brain grows! But why do I think we thieves are fine? It’s a bit funny to say what kind of bodyguard to go to, tell me, why don’t we just go and kill that Jiang Desheng, why don’t we go to the bodyguard?” When Jin Huo saw Xu Yi’s arrival, he didn’t beat around the bush and asked him directly arrive.

Xu Yi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then replied with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry, listen to me, I think you were forced to become thieves when you went into the sea at the beginning. Who would want to be a thieves if it's okay! And this After all, being a pirate is not a long-term solution. Although it has not attracted the attention of the government, once we go too far, it will definitely be tolerated by the court. Now we have the treasure of Dulong Island, which can be attacked and defended. There is no shortage of money at hand, and there is no need to fight against the court. After all, no matter how powerful we are, we still have no chance of winning against a large number of court navy officers. If we can not be thieves, it is better not to be thieves. All of them are people from our Great Song Dynasty, so doing this would make foreigners see the jokes of our Great Song people, so my son-in-law thought, since you can make money by doing legitimate business, why not do legitimate business?"
