Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 437
In the northern sea of ​​Huaniao Island, the three fleets converged and stopped less than one mile away from each other.

Yu Tongyuan ordered the boat to be lowered and sent people to negotiate with the pirates.

Half an hour later, the boat went back and forth, and brought back a pirate, it was the white fan of the dog-headed military officer wearing a Confucian shirt and shaking a paper fan.

As a representative of the pirates, he came to discuss the details of the exchange. To show his sincerity, he also brought a gray-haired old man.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, you are worried about us." Yu Tongyuan recognized Wang Dayuan, and quickly ordered someone to support him.

After falling into the hands of the pirates for several months, Lao Wang was already thin and out of shape, with a few scars on his face, obviously he suffered a lot.

"Master Hou, I never dreamed that I would see you again..." Wang Dayuan was tearful, wishing he could throw himself into Yu Tongyuan's arms and cry.

"You two look back, there is plenty of time to reminisce about the old days." The white fan said, adding in his heart 'it's just in the underworld'.But with a smile on his face, he said: "Let's inspect the goods first."

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

Seeing the box full of gold, the white fan involuntarily shrank his pupils and swallowed hard.

"A total of ten boxes, each box is 1 taels of gold." Yu Tongyuan said lightly.

"That's only 10 taels, what about the remaining 90 taels?" Bai Fan put away the folding fan, inserted it into the back of the collar, picked up a heavy gold ingot, and carefully checked the quality, asking in a deep voice.

"On the other nine ships, each ship costs 10 taels." Yu Tongyuan explained: "Of course such a valuable thing cannot be placed on one ship."

"En." Of course, Bai Fan understood the reasoning, and took out the scale to weigh the gold ingot.This is not to see if there is enough weight, but to test whether the gold ingot has been mixed with other things.

An experienced old accountant like him can know it when he weighs it.

"Okay, it's pure gold." Bai Fan looked at Libra and nodded in satisfaction.He randomly checked a few gold ingots from the rest of the boxes, and found no problems, so he put them away and weighed them, and said to Yu Tongyuan, "Pay the money with one hand, and hand it over to the person. People are easy to make friends with, but how do you get these gold ingots?"

"Aren't you still doing maritime business? Don't you know how to ship and unload goods all day long?" Yu Tongyuan asked back.

"We all have special lifting rings on our boats, and the cables can be used to hang things on the boat." Bai Fan looked around, pointed to the big iron ring fixed on the poop, and said, "Don't you have this on your boat?"

"Then let's pass the cables through the rings at both ends and transport them to your side." Yu Tongyuan said lightly.

"Okay, but it's such a valuable thing, and the box is so heavy, if the cable falls and breaks, it will be a big loss." Bai Fan said worriedly again.

Although the conversation between the two is mediocre, every sentence is full of calculations.The purpose of the two is exactly the same, which is to strive for the most favorable attacking posture when the fire is merged later.

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

"Let's tie up two more brackets. It just so happens that we have a batch of wood ready to be used as a rudder stock on our boat." Bai Fan said in the most ordinary tone: "Between the two boats, make a double insurance for the box, so that nothing will go wrong. gone."

"It's a good idea, let's do it like this." Yu Tongyuan followed the example of kindness.

So it was a happy decision.This matter is certain, and other matters are easy to discuss, the two of them finalized other details in a few words, and Bai Fan took the boat back.

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

When Lao Liu and Lao Wang met, they naturally sighed again.But at this moment, he didn't care about making the two of them sensational, so Yu Tongyuan hurriedly reported the latest situation.

"Isn't it enough to connect two boat cables? Do we need to add another crossbar?" Lao Liu frowned and said, "Why do I feel that they have no good intentions?"

When Wang Dayuan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, what do you mean by 'also'.

"That's not true." Yu Tongyuan nodded and said, "In the past, as long as the cable was cut off, the two boats would be separated. Now that a crossbar is added, and it is the kind of wood that can be used as a rudder stock, it will be difficult to separate the two boats." gone."

"It seems that they not only want my king's money, but also my king's ship and my people." The king of Chu touched his chubby chin and grinned, "Isn't that a coincidence? Everyone wants to go together."

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

"Haha, not bad, not bad, it saved us a lot of effort." Lao Liu smiled and said, "Aren't you worried that the gunners are too raw, afraid that they won't be able to shoot accurately? Now you don't have to worry about it."

"However, Your Highness, it must be a terrible fight like this, so please don't poke your head." Yu Tongyuan warned worriedly.

"Don't worry." The King of Chu said impatiently, "Take me as a tortoise."

"You scold whatever you want." Yu Tongyuan laughed along with him, and hurried out.

As soon as Yu Tongyuan left, Wang Dayuan finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, my lord, let's take this boat, do you want to fight them?"

"Don't worry about it, just eat and drink here with the king, and listen to the movement outside." Zhu Zhen sat down with a smile, picked up the chopsticks again, and picked up a piece of sashimi as thin as a cicada's wing. Dip it in soy sauce and wasabi, and it tastes delicious.

He doesn't dare to eat raw freshwater fish, but he won't be afraid when he is at sea.

~~
On the other side, Bai Fan also returned to his boat and reported the situation to the head.

Chen Shanghai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Unexpectedly, that His Highness is really a trustworthy person!"

"Yes, 100 million taels of gold!" The subordinates were also elated, and they couldn't hold back their excitement and said, "I have never dreamed of so much gold."

"True loyalty, why don't we stop cooperating with Lao Wu and join His Highness the King of Chu instead?!" Someone was about to betray on the spot.

Before he finished speaking, he was chopped to the ground by Chen Shanghai.Holding the bloody treasured sword, he glared viciously at a group of distracted subordinates.

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

"No, no, we have all followed the head of the family until now, how can we surrender again?" The leaders showed fear, and hurriedly argued: "Even Lao Gou just said it casually, he didn't really have such an idea."

"You can't just talk about it!" Chen Shanghai kicked the old dog's head into the sea, and shouted: "Put away those petty thoughts and go separately. As soon as you get the gold, start attacking immediately!"

As he said that, he flicked the blood on the knife with a murderous look. "In this battle, no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

"Obey!" All the leaders hurriedly responded in unison.

ps. The third shift is over, have a nice weekend everyone.
