A team of men and horses hurried over, and on the leader's unicorn horse was a fat man eight feet tall, with a waist of nearly nine feet, and his whole body was as white as snowflakes.
Someone who knew him exclaimed: "Ah, it's Ling Shou, the chief manager of the Ling family. How come he's here in person?"
Unlike Ling Fu, who died in a tiger's mouth two days ago, Ling Shou is the true butler of the Ling family. He manages all the internal and external affairs of the Ling family, and his real power is only under the current head of the Ling family. If it wasn't something really important, where would ordinary people have the chance to see him in person
Three times fatter than Ling Fu, Ling Shou's figure was extremely agile. He led a large group of guards to the cargo terminal. Before his mount could stop, Ling Shou was floating as lightly as a dandelion ball in the wind. , swept across a distance of more than twenty feet silently, and landed lightly on the ground.
Ten giant ships docked on the shore, and large groups of private soldiers in armor walked out of the cabins expressionlessly. Amid high-pitched orders, they formed a neat formation of a hundred people on the dock.
The sound of low footsteps kept ringing. Whenever a formation of 100 people formed, they immediately walked towards the open space in the distance with neat steps. One after another, phalanxes of hundreds of people were moving, with thunderous steps. The pier was filled with murderous aura, and the smoke gradually rose more than ten feet high.
More than a dozen middle-aged men wearing brocade robes, with an indescribable arrogance in their demeanor, but with a unique hint of caution in the corners of their eyes and brows, stepped off several giant ships. He hurriedly arrived in front of Ling Shou.
Ling Shou bent down slightly with difficulty, saluted the group of people, took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Several stewards, this is a letter written by Academician Zhou. He is organizing the Dragon Gate Banquet and is not available. This is the detailed history of everything that has happened in the past few days. I'm afraid the six young masters are in trouble."
Ling Shou's eyes flickered and he looked at the people in front of him with complicated emotions.
They are the stewards of the six major families behind Li Qian, Zhao Kuo and other six young masters. They are in charge of the family fleet and rush to Yazhou all the way to cooperate with Zhou Liuyun in Yaozhou.
Unexpectedly, after finally traveling all the way and sailing in the wind and rain for more than half a year, they were about to arrive at Yazhou. They suddenly received a message from the spirit bird. The young master of the six families who became a disciple of Zhou Liuyun disappeared inexplicably. !
They were said to be missing, but Zhou Liuyun told them frankly that the six bodyguards of Li Qian died tragically next to Chu's mine, so Li Qian and six people probably suffered misfortune. However, Zhou Liuyun also warned them in his letter that the Chu family was a local snake in Yazhou. Unless there was conclusive evidence proving that they murdered Li Qian and the other six people, they must not rashly conflict with the Chu family.
Groups of private soldiers continued to walk out of the cabins, and gangways stretched out from other cabins. Many shirtless sailors and warriors shouted slogans and pushed out carts of grain and grass from the cabins, and even brought out a bundle. A bundle of unknown objects wrapped tightly in oilcloth.
Although the oilcloth blocked the view, when these packages were stacked on the dock, they kept making heavy metal banging sounds. It was obvious that the oilcloth packages were filled with all kinds of heavy metal objects.
Looking at those expressionless and vicious private soldiers, the locals of Yazhou on the dock immediately understood that these heavy tarpaulin packages must be all kinds of weapons, as well as various arrows, armor and other objects.
Angry curses could be heard in the distance, and even panicked screams could be heard.
The commercial cargo terminal in Yaozhou could not accommodate so many giant ships at the same time. The giant ships from several big families behind them were too lazy to wait, and simply went upstream arrogantly and rushed to the Baimangjiang Fish Market Pier.
Light flashed on the sails of the giant ships, and these giant ships made of steel plates and rivets set off huge waves and crashed into the shore unscrupulously.
Many fishing boats were overturned by huge waves, and more than 20 fishing boats were run over by giant ships. The wooden fishing boats were smashed into pieces, and the fishermen on board jumped over to escape.
The giant ship docked extremely arrogantly. A large number of fishing boats and a dozen simple trestles were smashed into pieces by the giant ship. The sound of shattering wooden boards and wooden piles was endless. Large amounts of dust flew up, and countless wood fragments were sprayed out more than ten feet away, like arrows. The arrow also knocked over a large area of fishermen, fishermen and purchasers from various households on the fish market pier.
Several fish teeth had their heads broken by splintered wooden stakes that flew up, and blood spurted out from the wounds.
Many people even had their faces cut open by pieces of wood, and their arms and legs were injured. They were crying and running around in all directions.
Many sailors and private soldiers on the giant ship laughed "haha" and pointed at the people fleeing in panic on the dock and laughed.
With a deep sound, the side decks on both sides of the giant ship opened, and wide metal ramps stretched out. Groups of private soldiers filed out, and even sailors and Lifu shouted slogans and transported a large number of weapons from the cabin. Baggage supplies.
From the giant ships that docked, some men who were also wearing brocade robes and acted very arrogantly, but with the cautious and shrewd temperament unique to servants in their eyes and brows, hurried over with their guards.
An old man with gray hair on his temples and age spots on his face played with a huge Ruyi jade in his hand and looked at the stewards of the six major families and laughed loudly: "Old Li, Old Zhao, what's going on with you six families? ? Young Master Li Qian and Young Master Zhao Kuo, why did they end up here?"
Shaking his head vigorously, the old man sighed: "You six families are really unlucky. The good seeds you have cultivated with so much hard work have been ruined like this. Tsk, tsk, what a pity. The decoctions they have soaked in for the past twenty years, they Those pills you took.”
The stewards with the sixth surname had dark faces and trembled as they looked at the old man.
The old man pointed to his nose with a smile, and laughed loudly: "The six young masters must be dead, there is nothing to say. Hey, you should think about it first, how to send a message to your family master, how to explain to the family! We can If it is different, we must assist our young master to make contributions in this state!"
The stewards behind the old man laughed "haha", and some even raised a high note like an idle man in the city: "What Lao Jin said makes sense! Hey, let's go into Yizhou City to see Zhou Bachelor, by the way, would you like to say hello to your little master?"
The stewards with the sixth surname gritted their teeth and looked at the old man and the stewards of other families. The steward of the Li family took the handwritten letter handed to him by Ling Shou, read it carefully, and then read it again seriously. Finally, he stamped his feet and sneered with a sullen face: "What is Chutian? This time, we are going to peel off his skin and beat his muscles! No one under him can be spared!"
Ling Shou nodded slowly. He glanced around and suddenly saw an extremely burly figure among the crowd of people watching in the distance.
