Mou Rongtian put on a fish skin vest and asked the sailors to shoot him. He found that the Europa flintlock musket was far more powerful than the matchlock gun produced by the Ming Dynasty. He smiled and said: "Mr. George, your musket is very good." Not yet.
Don’t worry, I immediately selected more than a dozen muskets for testing, and the quality was very good.
Later, the artillery was tested and it was found that Europa's Furlan cannon not only had a longer range, but was also more powerful than the Ming Dynasty's self-produced artillery.
Mou Rongtian was quite satisfied with George's firearms and said: "Mr. George, we can make a deal. You can come back with me to get the money."
George smiled and said: "Happy cooperation." He stretched out his right palm to shake hands with Mou Rongtian. This is a Western etiquette and does not apply to the Ming Dynasty. People in the Ming Dynasty usually held hands, bowed or fisted.
Mou Rongtian cupped his hands and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
George didn't hold Mou Rongtian's hand, but was startled, smiled awkwardly, and retracted his hand.
In the next ten days, Mou Rongtian followed other Europa merchants on board the ship to inspect the firearms. He found that their firearms were very good and purchased them all. In the end, he purchased more than 200 artillery pieces, more than 10,000 muskets, and ammunition.
countless.
Mou Rongtian wanted to transport the firearms back to Liaodong, but land transportation was inconvenient, so he decided to take the water route and hired merchant ships from George and others to transport them.
The fleet set out to sea and headed north, passing through the East China Sea, crossing the Yellow Sea, sailing into Liaodong Bay, and anchored at the Weiliangfangkou seaport in Gaizhou. Mou Rongtian and Li Tianmu were going to Gaizhou to find the local garrison to escort the firearms to Shenyang. When they were approaching Gaizhou City, Mou Rongtian
He felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He turned around and saw no one behind him. He thought it was Li Tianmu joking with him, so he laughed and said, "Tianmu, how old are you, and you still play tricks like this child's?"
Li Tianmu asked seriously: "Did you get patted on the back of your shoulder just now?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Yes, didn't you take the photo?"
Li Tianmu shook his head and said, "It wasn't me. I was patted down just now. I know it couldn't have been you, because you never make such silly jokes."
Mou Rongtian was startled and realized that the person who had just photographed him was not Li Tianmu. The other party had photographed them both and then disappeared without a trace. It is conceivable that his martial arts skills were so high. If the other party wanted their heads, this would
Are the two still alive?
Mou Rongtian said: "Who could it be? The other party obviously has no ill intentions, but just wants to make fun of us. Could it be your master?"
Li Tianmu said: "I'm afraid my master doesn't have such fast movement skills."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Is it the owner of the field?"
Li Tianmu nodded and said: "Maybe it's his old man." He looked around and shouted: "Senior Tian, is it your old man who has arrived?"
No one answered.
Mou Rongtian said: "Since Senior Tian doesn't want to show up to meet you, let's go."
The two of them continued on their way, and after walking not far, they were patted on the back shoulders at the same time. They turned around and saw no one. When they turned around, they found an old man standing in front of them. It was Seibu.
The holy sloppy Taoist Ye Jinquan.
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "Master, it turns out it's you, old man?" He was busy paying homage to him. Mou Rongtian also knelt down and paid homage.
Ye Jinquan smiled, twirled his white beard under his chin and said, "Get up."
Li Tianmu said: "Master, why do you come to Liaodong?"
Ye Jinquan said: "Isn't Yagyu Itachi going to duel with my old man? The date is tomorrow at noon."
Li Tianmu said: "Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September. Why did Liu Sheng choose such a day?"
Ye Jinquan said: "This day was decided by your master. I thought that if I died under the Yagyu sword, I was afraid that you would not be able to remember my memorial day, so I chose this day to make it easy to remember."
Li Tianmu said: "Master, you have incredible skills. How can Liu Sheng be your opponent? If you die, it will be his death, and it won't be your turn."
Ye Jinquan said: "Having said that, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Boy, remember, if my old man is gone, the memorial day will be the Double Ninth Festival. Don't forget to burn paper for me then. If you forget, , I won’t spare you.”
Li Tianmu said: "Master, don't say that, there is nothing wrong with it." He took off his coat and handed it to Mou Rongtian, then took off his black silk clothes and became bare-chested.
Ye Jinquan said: "Why are you taking off your clothes? It's hot?"
Li Tianmu handed over the black silkworm clothing and said, "Master, this is a treasured clothing that is invulnerable to weapons and bullets. You old man, please put it on just in case."
Ye Jinquan's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Wearing this thing to duel Yagyu, wouldn't you be bullying him? It would be disgraceful to win. You kid is really fooling around. Can I wear this thing?"
Li Tianmu thought about the same truth, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Disciple and grandson, I didn't think carefully. Please forgive me, master."
Ye Jinquan said: "Okay, no more words, you two can go play, it's time for me to leave."
Li Tianmu said: "Master, wait a moment."
Ye Jinquan said: "Is there anything else?"
Li Tianmu said: "Master, where did you duel with Yagyu?"
Ye Jinquan said: "You shouldn't know this, don't ask blindly."
Li Tianmu said: "My disciple knows his mistake."
Ye Jinquan asked: "Is there anything else?"
Li Tianmu said: "My disciple wants to accompany you, old man, but I don't know what the master's intention is?" He was worried about Ye Jinquan going alone, thinking that if Liu Sheng was unethical, bullied the minority, or set up an ambush, he would He can lend a helping hand to Ye Jinquan, and in times of crisis, he can also escape with Ye Jinquan on his back.
Ye Jinquan said: "What are you doing? You want to collect the body for me? No need. Your fifth uncle also wants to follow. He begged me for many days, but I didn't agree. Can I take you with me?"
Li Tianmu was bored and smiled awkwardly, not daring to force anything.
Ye Jinquan said "let's go" and headed southeast.
Li Tianmu said to Mou Rongtian: "Rongtian, I'm worried that Master is going alone. I have to protect Master secretly and I can't accompany you to Gaizhou."
Mou Rong added: "Go quickly, don't worry about me."
Li Tianmu went to follow Ye Jinquan. With his Qinggong, even though Ye Jinquan was one of the Four Saints and one of the top masters in the world, he could not find him.
That night, Ye Jinquan stayed at the Phoenix City Inn, and the next morning he left the city and entered Phoenix Mountain. Li Tianmu followed behind, thinking: "It turns out that Master and Yagyu Itto are going to duel in Phoenix Mountain."
The location of the duel was decided by Yagyu. The reason why he chose Fenghuang Mountain in Liaodong was because it was quite close to Goryeo. It was much more convenient for Yagyu to come here via Goryeo than to go to the Ming Dynasty by boat.
At noon, Ye Jinquan climbed to the highest peak of Fenghuang Mountain, Canyunding, and saw an old man dressed as a Japanese warrior sitting cross-legged in the open space. He recognized it as Yagyu's sword and said with a smile: "Brother Yagyu, you got here first."
Yagyu stood up with a sword and said with a smile: "Master Qian, I haven't seen you for decades, but you still have the same style, you don't look old at all."
Ye Jinquan laughed and said, "I'm old and no longer useful."
Li Tianmu hid in the bushes in the distance and took a peek. He saw that Yagyu Shengyida was about seventy years old, with bright eyes and a strong aura. He did not look senile at all. Since they were far away, the two people did not speak loudly.
He was tall, so he couldn't hear what they were saying. As he was watching attentively, someone unexpectedly patted him from behind.
Li Tianmu trembled with fright, turned around and saw Shan Sinan, the "guest who rides the waves and chases the wind," standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
Li Tianmu said softly: "Fifth Master Uncle, you are here too."
Shan Sinan said: "I saw you yesterday. You have been following your master and you were not discovered. Your kid's Qinggong is now good and you can compete with me."
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "My nephew's light kung fu can't be compared to that of your old man, it's still far behind."
Shan Sinan said: "Don't be humble, it's not far behind. When I was your age, Qinggong might not win you over."
Li Tianmu said: "Uncle Master, you are overly praised."
At this time, I saw Ye Jinquan and Liu Sheng exchange swords. The two exchanged swords for a while, and then turned to close combat. Their movements were so fast that Li Tianmu and Shan Sinan couldn't see the moves at all.
I don't know how many rounds they fought, but the two suddenly stopped. Ye Jinquan's long sword was pressed against Yagyu Itto's throat, and he sheathed the sword without killing him.
Li Tianmu and Shan Sinan were happy to see that Ye Jinquan had won. Liu Sheng lost his sword and collapsed on the ground, while Ye Jinquan walked down the mountain.
Li Tianmu and Shan Sinan did not want to be discovered by Liu Sheng's sword, so they took a detour to chase Ye Jinquan. When they reached the mountainside, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front of them. They were both startled and ran over, only to see Ye Jinquan being surrounded by four people.
Those four people are Xinghai Old Immortal, the "Number One Killer in the World" the King of Murderers, Yan Shoufeng, and "True Monarch of Fire Virtue" Zhang Daoqian.
Li Tianmu knew in his heart that his master had just had a fierce battle with Yagyu Sheng and had consumed a lot of internal energy. With insufficient true energy, he might not be the opponent of those four people. Fearing that something might happen to his master, he had no choice but to show up and call out "Master"
Zu Mo panic, Fifth Master Uncle and I are here!" He and Shan Sinan both joined the battle group.
Ye Jinquan shouted: "Why are you two boys here? Have you been following me?"
While Li Tianmu was fighting Yan Shoufeng, he replied: "Master, don't blame me, my disciple knows he is wrong."
Ye Jinquan snorted and said, "Let's deal with these four bastards first, and I'll deal with you two later."
Li Tianmu shouted: "Yan Gou, you killed Qing'er and also wanted to harm my master. How can a certain family tolerate you? This is your burial place today." He has mastered the "Broken Sword Art"
After two battles with Dao Xin, he became proficient in deciphering the White Ape Sword Technique of the Emei School. He thought that defeating Yan Shoufeng would not be a problem, but he did not expect that Yan Shoufeng's master was not the White Ape Sword Technique.
I saw that Yan Shoufeng's swordsmanship was strange and unpredictable, and he moved extremely fast. Although there were flaws in his moves, the changes were too fast, and it was difficult for Li Tianmu to seize the opportunity.
Shan Sinan challenged Zhang Daoqian in a duel. His light kung fu was unmatched in the world, but his swordsmanship was average and he was no match for Huode Zhenjun. In desperation, he had no choice but to use a kite-flying style to distance himself and use hidden weapons. Zhang Daoqian saw that he was close.
Unable to escape, he simply put away his sword and fired fireballs at Shan Sinan.
Ye Jinquan's true energy was exhausted, and under the combined attack of the two super masters of the world, Xinghai Laoxian and the Killer King, he seemed powerless and was at a disadvantage.
