A round of golden sunset on the sea dyed the seaside into a gorgeous color, and the port was dyed with torches, and it was still so noisy.
A faint light shone in the cabin, covering both of them with a layer of mist.
But this calm was not long before Yang Zhao who hurried in broke it.
"Is the master in there?" Yang Zhao asked after looking at Yan San and Yan Qi who were guarding the door.
"What happened?" Yan San stood up.
"En." Pushing open the door, seeing Ling Qingyu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Yang Zhao hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and called out softly, "Master, wake up."
"En." Ling Qingyu opened his eyes, still a little dazed, and when he saw Yang Zhao, he stretched out his hands to hug him.
Yang Zhao immediately hugged her, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Wake up, master, something happened."
"Ah? What?" Ling Qingyu asked still confused.
"A crew member stole a red crocodile and went ashore to sell it, and was spotted by a business called Lion. The shopkeeper heard that we still had a lot of red crocodile on board, so he went back to lead the army." Yang Zhao said simply.
"Tell everyone to come back and set sail immediately." Ling Qingyu woke up now, got out of bed, and asked Yang Zhao, "Have all the goods that Adi asked for have been unloaded?"
"All the goods have been unloaded, but there is still a small half of the spices left."
"No, I want everyone to come back, weigh anchor, and set off immediately." Ling Qingyu walked out quickly, Yang Zhao said yes, and rushed out at a faster speed.
Ceylon has a tradition of fighting between two ethnic groups since ancient times, and the lion is the most unreasonable. This is not an attempt to trade, but an attempt to rob a ship.
"It's my fault that I'm in charge of the house. I didn't take good care of the people below!" Song Yu ran up with a red face, and said, "I'll take someone to catch him right away."
"No need," Ling Qingyu blocked him, and said coldly, "He likes this place, so just stay here, we don't need this kind of person on board."
Song Yu was taken aback, lowered his head, and said softly, "If he stays here, he will be killed."
"Even if he comes back, I will still throw him into the sea." Ling Qingyu glanced coldly at the crew below, and said: "A gentleman seeks money in a proper way, and you keep your duty. I, the head of the family, will naturally not I treat you badly, but this kind of theft is absolutely not tolerated by my Ling family boat company, if you think I am unfair and want to be like that person, then get off the boat right now!"
Ling Qingyu used all his strength to roll a word, and the lingering sound lingered on the deck, and the sailors on the deck immediately knelt down.
Ling Qingyu glanced at the dozen or so people beside Chuan Xuan. Those people were with Song Yu and others, but they did not kneel down with Song Yu and the others at this time, but continued to get up the boat with Shen Zhan and the others.
Ling Qingyu didn't look at Song Yu who was kneeling at her feet, and hurried up to the watchtower on the bow, and saw a long dragon of torches meandering from the city on the other side of the inner harbor. He turned to Yang Zhao below and said, "Have everyone returned?"
"I'm back." Yang Zhao raised his head and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Sail! Let's go!" Ling Qingyu shouted to the sailor.
Shen Zhan led the people to the cabin, and Ling Qingyu saw that a dozen people also followed down from the corner of his eyes, and some people kneeling on the deck also got up and followed. After thinking about it, the leader seemed to be called Chu Cheng.
Adi and Aixi stood on the pier and watched the huge sea ship sail away from the port at an unimaginable speed, and the people from the Lion Firm hurried over the big Zhou sailor.
"Hurry up, get on the boat and chase after him." The leader of the Lion Firm shouted. Then he said to the big Zhou sailor: "Call out, tell them to stop."
"Master! Brother! Come back quickly! Help me!" the sailor shouted at the top of his voice.
When he shouted for the third time, a feathered arrow flew over and hit the sailor's chest right in the middle. The sailor fell to the ground and died without making a sound. Adi and Aixi were taken aback, and the face of the man from the Lion Firm turned pale. The arrow could have shot him right through him.
"Shopkeeper, our boss said that the goods that didn't board the ship this time should be regarded as what you owe, and remember to make up for it next time. The lion shopkeeper, our boss said, she likes to do business harmoniously, and she likes to do business harmoniously. Don't hurt your temper." Yan San's voice came from afar from the boat, but the voice seemed to ring in his ears from such a long distance.
Adi said to the pale-faced shopkeeper of the lion business: "Abu, how many times have I told you that business is about harmony and wealth. Your Majesty will not spare you lightly."
Aixi squatted in front of the dead sailor, and pulled out the arrow. The arrow almost penetrated the sailor's body. With such strength at such a distance, Aixi's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
"My lord, do you still want to chase?" Several Ceyloners asked Abu.
"What are you chasing after, go back." Abu roared. When he saw the red Luo, he was greedy for a moment, thinking that if he could dedicate such a beautiful red Luo to the king, then their lion tribe could also please the king, and they would not be oppressed by Adi and his tribe all the time, but Stimulated by the blood, he calmed down. There are businessmen from all over the world in Galle. The idea is that this place is safe and the tax rate is very low. If he makes such an order, then Galle will no longer be trusted by businessmen. Ports that prosper will fail. What's more, there is such an expert on that boat, so I don't know if he can get it right. If his reputation and people are damaged, Abu will be afraid for a while.
Yan San's voice was still echoing, and Yang Zhao slowly put down the bow in his hand. This bow was made by Huang Jing and Zhou Tan on Fengshen Island with cold iron and wood from Nabao Island, and Ling Qingyu was installed again this time. Only he can pull the whale tendons brought over.
The port is gone, but the scene of the sailor being shot and killed is still vivid in my mind.
Ling Qingyu walked up the stairs slowly, and the sailor who was kneeling behind Song Yu suddenly crawled over, kowtowed desperately at her feet, and said: "The head of the house, it's none of Brother Song's business. When Hua Pingluo was in it, it was really none of Brother Song’s business. If you want to punish me, you can punish me. I saw it, but I didn’t say it. It’s my fault! Brother Song doesn’t know anything. I don't know anything."
"Don't talk about it." Song Yu yelled at him, then took off his upper body clothes, and said, "It's my fault for being in charge. I didn't discipline strictly, and I didn't handle it properly afterwards." He pulled out his waist knife violently Just stabbed in his stomach.
With a sound of "ding", it was Yan Qi who was standing beside Ling Qingyu and knocked down the knife in his hand.
"Song Yu's poor management, he removed the position of bosun, 20 lashes, Song Husan didn't report it, 30 lashes," Ling Qingyu walked past them, and said lightly: "There will be no next time, don't make me regret it .”
"No, there won't be any more." Song Yu bowed his head deeply, waited for her footsteps to pass by, turned into the cabin door, and said softly. The head of the family doesn't care about the red one, and she gave them more than one red. What the head of the family cares about is that her trust has been betrayed. How can she trust such a person again? Keeping him in Caleb is also considered keeping him. One life, but Song Li actually brought the enemy to hunt down the Fengshen. If he told the enemy about the situation of the Fengshen, then they would have no way out in this foreign land. That's why Yang Zhaocai shot him directly, firstly to silence him, and secondly to demonstrate. With Yan San Yan Qi and Yang Zhao around, how could the head of the family be afraid of those people? She left in a hurry, just because she didn't want these subordinates to suffer, not to mention there were so many children on board. It is shameful for me to plead for Song Li only because of the feelings of my fellow countrymen. Song Yu swore to himself, I will never let you down again, never.
"Seventeen, eighteen."
The sound of counting on the deck and the crackling of the whip came in from outside the window. Ling Qingyu leaned lazily on the soft seat, fiddled with the gems with one hand, and said to Shi Fang who was helping her with her pulse: "Doctor Shi , take a look and take care of it."
"You still use them? Aren't you afraid of their revenge?" Shi Fang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Qi and blood are congested, and you may still be in pain for a few days."
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. You can't put everyone together just because of one person's mistakes." Ling Qingyu said wearily. She really didn't expect that if they were in trouble, she would definitely help them. Why would they steal
"I heard that Song Li is a cheap younger brother brought by Song Yu's stepmother. His stepmother gave all the food to the two brothers on the way to escape from the famine. She starved to death, so Song Yu has always taken good care of this younger brother. After becoming the boatswain, his younger brother became lazy, but Song Yu usually did the work of two people alone, and he was loyal. Others didn't say much about Song Li in terms of Song Yu's face. Maybe that's the case, then Song Li's courage is getting bigger and bigger." Shi Fang put away the bowl on the table, and said slowly.
"No rules, no rules." Ling Qingyu sighed. Perhaps her concept of humanized management is still very problematic.
After Shi Fang left, Ling Qingyu beckoned to Yang Zhao, asked him to sit over, then leaned on him, and said, "Ah Zhao, help me train them."
"My set is for training soldiers and fighting." Yang Zhao rubbed her abdomen, looking at her bloodless face, feeling very heartbroken.
"Well, let's train as soldiers for war, haven't we even done bandits?" Ling Qingyu said.
"Okay, let's start practicing tomorrow."
