Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

At the beginning of September, Ram's ship came back. After meeting Ling Qingyu, he didn't even hand over the goods to Ling Qingyu. After unloading the goods, the crew also hung up the black sail.

All of a sudden, the entire Malacca and Nanhai areas were plunged into chaos. Those pirates come from all races, including Zhou people, local aborigines, blond Arabs, and dark-skinned Cholas. These pirates come and go like the wind. They have extremely good equipment and extremely powerful members. Fierce, the stronghold that the Xie family had reestablished in the past two years was completely wiped out, and the fleet was also wiped out.

Some shipping companies that were partners with the Xie family quickly changed their flags, but many of them were wiped out together. Too many shipping companies were implicated. At first, some people thought it was targeting the Xie family, but later it was spread that it was the first two. The pirates' accomplices came to take revenge. Everyone knew that the previous two groups of pirates were closely related to the Xie family, so although they couldn't figure out what was going on this time, they basically complained about being implicated by the Xie family. , including those ports that were robbed because of the presence of the Xie family's trading company, they even retreated three feet away when they saw Da Zhou's ships and did not allow their ships to go ashore.

There was a lively fight outside, but Ling Qingyu's place was very deserted. Huang Jing and Zhou Tan came most often. Occasionally, Xiao Se would come to dislike her after he came back with Zhu Weili. Lamu even came here once after he came back. Throw it to her and she will disappear.

Master, we have changed the proportion of sulfur, and the thunderbolts should be ready for mass production. Zhou Tan said after taking a sip of tea. Well, it’s still quiet here for the boss.

How is the progress of equipping cannons on ships and cannons for city defense? Ling Qingyu asked.

This will probably take some time. The two of us are not very familiar with ordnance. If there are craftsmen who are familiar with this aspect, we should be able to make progress faster. Huang Jing said. After the master came over, he gave them several manuscripts of Mohist classics, which were truly priceless treasures. Now he is immersed in them and has begun to improve many of the past crafts.

Well, when I go back this time, I will go to Dazhou to find some good craftsmen to bring over. Ling Qingyu nodded, thinking of the huge amount of jewelry and gold that Ram brought back this time, and said, By the way, can you two Make me some jewelry. At the end of the new year, a silver building in Bianjing will open, and I want to do an event. She was relatively free at these times, and began to think about some things that she had not taken into consideration before. It has been prepared for a long time, and now looking at the Xie family's methods, I am afraid that there will be more of this kind of thing in the future, so there must be contact and collusion with the government. Taking advantage of the opening of the bank to hold an auction or something, invite some people who can be won over. Officials' families come to participate, give out gifts, and then see who will come to join the ceremony.

That's no problem. We are free at this time. Is there anything you want, Master? Zhou Tan said with a smile. The main craftsmen were all taken aboard by Song Yu and Chu Cheng to become pirates. Nowadays, the people are just forging and forging copper coins, which have little technical content. The two of them really have a lot of space, otherwise they would not come to Ling Qingyu every day. Come and have tea.

Well, I'll draw a few shapes tomorrow. This time Ram brought back a lot of diamonds. Each kind of gemstone has a set of top-notch heads and faces. But first, let's talk about it. I'm not good at drawing. It mainly depends on you two. Ling Qingyu said.

It's easy to talk about. Both of them laughed.

When hundreds of sets of various jewelry were made, the time entered October. Ling Qingyu's wound had healed, but the scar was still very hideous, and because it hurt his lungs, even though he took Shi Fang's medicinal diet every day, I am still weak and have to cough a few times from time to time.

The ships that removed the black flag returned, and the fleet led by Styrax also returned from South America.

The first to come back was Su Hexiang's fleet. Three large ships returned fully loaded with 200 tons of silver, 20 tons of gold, some raw gemstones, and accessories such as wool, textiles, iron ore, tin ore, and copper ore.

Su Hexiang was wondering why all the heroes in Lingjia Village were missing when he saw four large ships approaching from the pier, with small black flags on the bows that had not been removed in time.

The four ships also returned fully loaded. This is the fifth time they have returned fully loaded. Can they not be fully loaded? How many ships and ports were robbed!

Only then did Ling Qingyu know why everything in the warehouse in Lingjiacun was piled outside.

Ling Qingyu no longer had the energy to ask about the stolen goods, so he left them all to Zhu Weili. He only asked Lamu to ask alone.

What's going on with these five hundred thousand taels of gold? Are they listed separately in your list, and these jewels? There was a commotion outside, and a flowing mat was opened in the square in the middle of the village. Ling Qingyu pulled Ram into the house and asked road.

Ram looked at her carefully first. Well, now his face was rosy and he had enough strength to speak. He said, That was given to you by Fatme.

Princess Fatme? Ling Qingyu asked in surprise, Princess Fatme, the peerless Li Ji of Egypt, is someone who can never forget even if she wants to forget the things in the box.

Master, the war in Dashi has stopped. On the day we arrived at Azab, we heard the news that Fatme's army had been defeated, and both Aragon and Musa had died in the battle. That night, Fatem Mei sent people to find us and asked us to bring these to you, saying that they were the last gifts for you. At that time, Aizabu was in chaos, and we did not dare to stay long. We went to East Africa first, and when we returned to Aizabu, There is already a new lord there, and I heard that Fatme committed suicide the day after we left. Ram tried his best to soften his tone, looked at Ling Qingyu's red eyes, and advised: She is choosing to join the war. By the time, I already knew the outcome.”

Ram... Ram turned around and saw Sum standing outside the door. He paused and said, All the servants of Princess Fatme were martyred. I heard that the four personal guards around her fought until the end. For a moment, buy time for Fatme to pass away with the dignity of an ancient Egyptian princess.

Sum murmured a thank you and withdrew.

By the way, Master, I took it upon myself to bring some clansmen out this time. Did you see the list? Not only did I get the goods in exchange for this trip, but I also made a profit of three hundred thousand taels of gold. Of the one hundred thousand taels of gold, I So I gave it to the tribe. Ram pretended to be relaxed, trying to divert the topic. Ling Qingyu is a passionate person. Although she didn't get along with Fatme for a long time, she must have regarded the princess as a friend in her heart. .

Really? Then you must not treat those tribesmen badly. Ling Qingyu also forced himself to smile. If Ram didn't say it, she wouldn't mention it. Ram must have asked Fatme to follow him, but how could such a proud princess let herself become a fugitive? She would rather die together than escape alone.

This time, let's go back to Dazhou with you. Ram said carefully. The tribesmen he brought out this time were all good men. From what Yan Qi and the others said, the Xie family could do anything at sea. If they went back to Da Zhou, who knew how dangerous it would be.

No need for now. Aizabu is willing to open the port after changing the lord, which means that the trade route there has been opened. This is a good opportunity. Our warehouse is full of Dazhou goods now. You can make another trip and add the fleet to There are more skilled people. Ling Qingyu said. She knew Ram's worries and was even more moved by their actions. It was a lie to say that she was not afraid, but there was still a faint pain in her chest, reminding her that she was on the verge of life and death at any time. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain that day and the wind and waves that made the boat unstable, the arrow would have shot into his heart. But after all, Dazhou is different from Fanwai. They can have nothing to worry about in Fanwai, but in Dazhou, they have to worry too much. Ram and the others are originally foreigners, and returning to Dazhou is even more taboo. And she is also in Dazhou. There is no way to guarantee their safety.

But... Ram wanted to say more, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: Don't they just spend money to hire people? I will hire the best master in the world when I get back! When we compare money, who is afraid of whom?

Ram smiled and said no more.

Ling Qingyu brought Ram back to the village square. When she came out, the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet.

Walking to the main seat, Ling Qingyu brought a cup of tea and said loudly: Ling can't drink, so I will drink tea instead of wine. Thank you all! Then he bowed seriously to everyone in the room.

There were shouts from all around, the people at the front stood up quickly, and then waves of people behind stood up to return the greeting.

Let's all have a good drink today, and we won't go home until we're drunk. Ling Qingyu said loudly after finishing the ceremony and drinking the tea himself.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and then it became lively again as Ling Qingyu sat down.

People who were not familiar with each other have already become friends after more than two months of cooperation, and some of them have directly continued their marriage.

The sadness caused by Fatme faded away. Looking at these people, Ling Qingyu felt that his heart was filled to the brim. No matter how hard he worked for these people, it didn't matter.

Ling Qingyu lost his temper and started talking nonsense with the men. Later, he changed the tea cup, picked up the wine glass, rolled up his sleeves and was about to put it on, but was caught by a circle of people around him.

Just a drink? Not having a drink is too disrespectful to the brothers! Come on, calm down! Ling Qingyu said unwillingly.

Yan San glanced over with a cold glance, and the men all shouted: The boss has enough face! This is not a woman at all, this is a tomboy! The excited brothers were stimulated by the cold and piercing gaze. She was not a man, but she was still a woman, especially when there was a real man beside her who was not on the same level!

Yan San dragged her back without hesitation. This person can get drunk even if she drinks water!

Watching Yan San prepare bath water for her, Ling Qingyu suddenly said: Yan San, actually today is my birthday.

Huh? Yan San looked up at her, and then understood that August's birthday was only the birthday of the body that Zheng Xi was familiar with in this life, but today was the birthday of Ling Qingyu's soul. No wonder she was so obsessed with her August birthday. He had no memory, so he slowly smiled and asked, What do you want?

Ling Qingyu's eyes were bright and he said with gleaming eyes, I want you.

Yan San laughed, poured all the water in, walked up to her to untie her clothes, and said with a smile, Have I not been yours for a long time?
