Duan Ling'er, Ye Baiqing, Wen Shanchang, and Wei Yuntian had met each other before, and they called each other affectionately. When Xiao Ye arrived, he was stunned for a moment. This must be his younger brother, right?
This kid is thin, ugly, and silly, but he doesn't look like a master of martial arts. Why does the chief rudder say he is the reincarnation of an evil god with extremely high martial arts skills?
Xiao Ye became famous after several battles with Xiao Chen, and now many people know his name, especially in the army where his deeds are widely circulated. Everyone knows that Mr. Xiao has a younger brother who is extremely powerful and brave.
Comparable to evil spirits.
Xiao Xinghan has many eyes and ears, so he naturally knows it.
Several people met Duan Linger and said goodbye first, knowing that the two of them must have a lot to say...
"My second brother sent you here?" Xiao Chen got straight to the point.
"Yes, he asked me to protect you." Duan Linger said boldly.
"Second brother, you are worrying too much, but there is no need to do so." Xiao Chen wanted to see if there was any possibility of sending her away.
"The chief helmsman said that you must keep me no matter what, and I will be the liaison between you and Tianxuanhui from now on!" Duan Ling'er didn't want to come at all, okay?
It's just that it's hard to disobey the chief helmsman's orders.
"Then why send someone here? Why send a silly little girl like you?" Xiao Chen was puzzled by this.
It is said that Tianxuanhui is capable of so many people...
"You're stupid!" Duan Ling'er was furious and raised his hand to hit someone, but when he thought something wrong, he glared angrily.
"Okay, what do you know? I can arrange it for you." Xiao Chen sighed.
"I know how to kill people!" Duan Ling'er said loudly, "Place me next to Li Wanjiang, and I will kill him when I find an opportunity!"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements when we get back." Xiao Chen said.
"Ah? Really?" Duan Linger was surprised and happy. She thought Xiao Chen would not allow her to do this, even the chief helmsman did not allow it...
well……
It was impossible to arrange Duan Ling'er to be an assassin next to Li Wanjiang, but there was no problem in bringing her into the palace. Xiao Chen directly incorporated her into the West Factory. Anyway, it was him who had the final say in hiring people in the West Factory.
There are also two young men, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Gou'er, who were also left by Xiao Chen in the West Factory. These two brothers are strong, honest, simple and loyal. Xiao Chen likes them very much.
Lin Dongyang was well-informed and heard that Mr. Xiao's cousin was here, so he even held a small banquet in his own name in the government office to welcome his cousin.
It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Xiao Chen could only agree.
But before the banquet, he sternly warned Duan Ling'er, you must not talk nonsense during the meal! If you reveal your flaws and make Lin Dongyang suspicious, I... my second brother will never let you go!
Duan Linger expressed receipt!
So no matter what Lin Dongyang asked her during the banquet, he kept a straight face and said nothing...
"A country girl who has never seen the world makes adults laugh." Xiao Chen was so angry that he had to help her cover up.
"My cousin is like a beautiful jade carved from nature, not stained by the fireworks of the world, but it is also very precious." Lin Dongyang naturally would not argue with a little girl like her.
While we were chatting happily, someone suddenly came to report that the prefect Anyang and several officials in charge of port affairs wanted to see him.
Lin Dongyang ordered them to come in, but saw that in addition to a few Jiangnan County officials, there was also a blond, blue-eyed, bearded foreigner?
What's happening here?
As soon as he saw Lin Dongyang, that bearded foreigner, he became excited, gesticulated, and started shouting with foam at the mouth.
Lin Dongyang was confused when he heard it, what the hell is this bird song? I can't understand it.
But Xiao Chen understood it. This was Yingli dialect, abbreviated as English. Although the accent was a bit strange, it was similar to modern English.
"He asked you why you detained his ship and cargo?" Before Xiao Chen could speak, Duan Linger, who had been silent, spoke first.
It turns out that she also understands English?
"Oh, this young lady can actually understand what he said? That's great!" Several officials who came over were all overjoyed.
In fact, some of them also understand foreign languages, but they are all Japanese and Kiprovian, and none of them understand English.
Because the Great Zhou Dynasty has been closed to the country since its establishment, there is no ocean trade at all, and there is no recruitment of talents in this field.
We had been arguing with this bearded man for a long time at the port. No one could understand what the other party meant, so we had to come to the Governor to make a decision.
The bearded man was also very happy, finally meeting someone he could talk to...
But it turns out that the bearded man's name is Wilson, a businessman from the other side of the distant ocean. He loaded a ship full of goods and was about to ship it to Japan. However, he encountered a big typhoon at sea and was blown off course. The ship was also blown by the wind and waves.
It was damaged and had to be docked at Anyang Port.
Ignoring his strong protests, the port officials took people aboard the ship for a search. They found that the cargo they were transporting was very suspicious. It was so dark that they didn't know what it was. Preliminary judgment was that it might be gunpowder...
After looking at their navigation chart, we were heading to Japan. Is this really a good idea?
Take it off immediately!
"Oh, buy it, I've said it countless times, no gunpowder! It's rubber, natural rubber, collected from trees. Do you know what a rubber tree is?" Wilson explained with a pale face.
Huh? Xiao Chen immediately became energetic after hearing this.
"You said your goods are all rubber?" Xiao Chen's English is much more standard than Duan Linger's.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and once again refreshed their understanding of Xiao Chen.
Damn it, no wonder everyone says you are a Wenquxing descended to earth, you can even speak bird songs!
Even Duan Ling'er was shocked. He didn't expect this useless prince to speak English so well...
"Choke to death! Damn it! Damn it, thank God, someone finally knows what I'm talking about!" Wilson's beard trembled with excitement.
But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Xiao Chen stopped eating and rushed to the port with the others, only to see that Wilson's ship was loaded with natural rubber!
Others didn't think much of it, but Xiao Chen was very excited. He knew the importance of rubber very well!
Dang even ordered Anyang Mansion to immediately send craftsmen to help Mr. Wilson repair the ship. He also asked them to immediately prepare a variety of vegetables, meat, fresh water, and send them to the ship, and restored the freedom of their ship.
Wilson was greatly moved and hugged Xiao Chen deeply without saying anything else. From now on, you will be my Wilson friend!
best friend!
But you have given me so much, how can I repay you?
"Dear Mr. Wilson, we are all friends. Isn't it right for me to help you? I don't need any repayment from you... So what, do you like drinking?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Dear Xiao, everyone likes to drink!" Wilson smiled happily.
"But I see that your drinking capacity is quite average." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh oh oh! Although we are friends, I still don't allow you to underestimate my drinking ability!" Wilson stared.
"Then I have to measure you well today." Xiao Chen expressed disbelief.
"If you're not afraid of getting drunk by me." Wilson shrugged.
Watching the two of them walking away arm in arm as brothers, they all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on?
Let’s look at Duan Linger together.
"They said they were going to drink," Duan Linger said.
