Not far from the port, there is a high slope, because the terrain here is open and the scenery is beautiful. There are many masts of warships in the distance, which is unique, so many small teahouses were built here. The colorful parasols are really beautiful on the snow-white high slope, and they have become a very distinctive scenery of Baixuecheng. Many local dignitaries like to come here to take a rest, drink tea, taste snacks and spend a leisurely and pleasant afternoon when they are free.
Under a parasol in Gaopo, a group of people are drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely. These people are all dressed in brocade clothes, obviously from extraordinary backgrounds.
"Brother Qiu is smarter." Claudia's winking eyes were like silk, and her voice was so sweet that it touched people's hearts. She was wearing a long white dress, which was extremely glamorous. She wore a dazzling diamond necklace on her slender white snow neck, which added a bit of extravagance and grace.
The collar just hid the bruise on her neck.
The man known as Brother Qiu is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. He smiled casually: "It can only cause him a little trouble and trouble, and it has no real effect."
Although he likes Claudia quite a lot, he is not a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. During this critical period, he tries to avoid trouble as much as possible. The Masefield Chamber of Commerce was naturally not in his eyes. Claudia begged him, and it was difficult for him to shirk, but he was not stupid enough to confront the other party head-on.
Coming from a top-notch family, he knows very well that blindly fighting and being brave is just a very low-level means in the upper class.
Just like today, he used a merchant ship to block the entrance of the port, which is very clever. So what if there are gold-class battleships? With an ordinary merchant ship, the Masefield Chamber of Commerce can only suffer this dumb loss. In the famous world, a gold-rank warship is too insignificant. A merchant ship of the Qiu family is enough to block a gold-class battleship, this is the weight of the Qiu family.
Qiu Yunqi also wanted to take the opportunity to beat other people. This war has just begun, and it is another key battle that will determine the fate of the clan for thousands of years. Of these allies of the Qiu family, which one doesn't have his own little plan? Even the Elizabeth family was not so obedient.
Well, let these guys see how heavy the word "Qiu Family" is!
If Qiu's boat, even a small sampan, blocked the passage, who would dare to talk about it
"Come, come, try this year's new tea, the newly planted dragon's blood osmanthus by Han's family, please enjoy it." Qiu Yunqi greeted everyone very enthusiastically, he didn't take the conflict at the port to heart. For him now, spending a pleasant afternoon is more important than anything else. Good tea and beauties are all his hobbies.
He looked at Claudia with admiration. Claudia was not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she was unmatched and charming in terms of "beauty". He really couldn't understand how there is a man in this world who is willing to lay hands on such a beauty.
"Spicy tea!" Claudia was surprised, the tea soup in the cup was as red as blood, with a delicate fragrance.
She comes from a famous family and spends extravagantly, so she is naturally a person who knows the goods. The dragon blood osmanthus in front of her is definitely worth a thousand gold.
"It took a lot of effort." Qiu Yunqi smiled. Hearing the beauty's exclamation, he still couldn't help being a little proud. He raised his tea cup and greeted everyone: "Everyone, please!"
Everyone toasted: "Please!"
Claudia winked at Qiu Yunqi, and then drank the tea soup in the cup. Among her many suitors, Qiu Yunqi is the one she likes the most. He is handsome, has a good family background, and is capable, not comparable to those dudes. Moreover, at such a critical time, to be able to marry the Qiu family, for the Elizabeth family, meant hugging a thigh that couldn't be thicker.
But Claudia is very clear that the statement that Qiu Yunqi is her suitor is mostly rumors. Qiu Yunqi admired him a lot, but he was far from being a suitor. What's more, how could such an outstanding man like Qiu Yunqi lack suitors
Must leave a good impression in front of Qiu Yunqi, Claudia secretly reminded herself that her movements became more and more elegant. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the distant port, her delicate and beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she completely forgot that she was drinking tea.
puff!
The red tea soup was like spurting blood foam, Qiu Yunqi, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't dodge in time, and was immediately drenched.
There was a dead silence.
Everyone was shocked by Claudia's gaffe, and fell into awkward silence under the parasol. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, at a loss.
A haze flashed across Qiu Yunqi's eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and the current situation made him very unhappy. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and cast his eyes on Claudia who was opposite, wanting to hear how Claudia explained.
But Claudia didn't look at him at all, her eyes were fixed on the distant port, her whole body remained motionless, like a sculpture.
The haze in Qiu Yunqi's eyes became a bit heavier, and he reminded lightly: "Miss Claudia?"
Claudia suddenly raised her arm, pointed at the port, and stammered: "That, there..."
Everyone froze for a moment, then looked in the direction of Claudia's finger. Suddenly, everyone's expressions froze, dumbfounded, with a few mouths wide enough to stuff duck eggs.
Qiu Yunqi was displeased, and also looked in the direction of Claudia's finger, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated, he stood up abruptly, and even overturned the chair because of too much movement, such a gaffe never happened didn't show up for him.
In the port passage, the Qiu family's merchant ship was turned upside down, like a dead fish with its white belly turned over, and the untempered ship Wushuang, which should have been blocked outside, was rolling over from the upturned bottom of the merchant ship. Even though they were separated by a long distance, everyone seemed to hear the toothache creaking sound. In front of the huge and even harder Wushuang, the hard bottom of the ship had no power to fight back, and it was as fragile as a crispy biscuit.
Countless pieces of wood flew across, and the men on the merchant ship hurriedly jumped out of the ship to flee for their lives. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The poor merchant ship wailed under Wushuang.
Without any mercy, the Wushuang rushed into the port passage with a pile of broken wood.
Qiu Yunqi completely forgot that he was sprayed with tea soup on his face, the bright red tea soup slid down his cheeks, like blood dripping from a knife, which made that handsome face look extremely ferocious.
His fists were clenched tightly, his whole body was trembling involuntarily, his eyes were about to breathe fire.
Has the Qiu family ever been provoked like this? When did that warship dare to crush Qiu's merchant ship
Masefield!
Under the parasol, there was silence. Everyone was completely shocked by this sudden change. They saw Qiu Yunqi's livid face, and no one dared to speak. Claudia's eyes did not leave the port, she was the most impacted, and she has not recovered yet. She had only one thought on her mind.
How dare he
How dare Masefield
The masked figure floated in her mind, and she had a strong premonition that it must be the order from the mysterious man in the iron mask. Although the two parties met once, she was extremely impressed by that ruthless guy, and his determination could not be shaken by any threats.
Seeing this scene, she suddenly felt lucky.
That's a madman! A real madman! Only a true lunatic could do such absurd, contemptuous things. Fortunately, I am alive. I am grateful, but also a little scared. If I hesitated a little at that time, I must be a corpse now. She had no doubts about this. Anyone who dared to crush the Qiu family's merchant ship would definitely not take Elizabeth's family seriously.
When Willie arrived at the port, he found the Peerless at a glance. Masefield and Elizabeth were sworn enemies, and they were naturally very familiar with their respective gold-class warships. Moreover, the Wushuang was so conspicuous that it forcibly ran over a merchant ship, and no ship around dared to approach it.
Willie is a shrewd person. Looking at the scene in front of him, he knew that someone must have deliberately caused trouble, but the merchant ship had been smashed into several pieces, and the other party's badge could not be seen clearly.
However, although Willie was vigilant, he was not too worried. Presumably, the Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce was not reconciled.
He snorted coldly in his heart, what a clown! Do you think you can save your face with such low-handed means? Looking at the debris and broken wood scattered everywhere, as well as the distressed crew members, he was in a good mood, but his face was calm and calm, and his expression was extremely calm.
The Peerless was berthing, and Willie hurriedly directed the staff of the branch to prepare for it.
At this moment, a fat man in a purple robe came over. Willie recognized this person, White, the president of the Nanqi Chamber of Commerce, is also a very famous task in Snow White City. The overall strength of the Nanqi Chamber of Commerce is not strong, but the local snake is a local chamber of commerce in Shengzhou, and its energy is not small.
Willie and White's friendship is not deep, but they have met each other a few times. Seeing the other party approaching, he greeted him and said hello: "I didn't expect to meet President White here. It's really a destiny."
White stared at Willy for a long time without speaking, with a strange look on his face.
Willie was a little puzzled, and looked down at his clothes. There was nothing wrong with them.
White stepped forward and patted Willie on the shoulder: "Masefield, kind!"
After all, without waiting for Willy to speak, he turned and left with a full face of emotion.
Just as White was leaving, another president of the chamber of commerce came over, patted Willie on the shoulder, said, "Masefield, you have it!", and then turned and left.
Several acquaintances in a row made the same move, all of them looked strange.
Willie was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a white face and beardless walked over from the corner of his eyes, full of majesty. Lord of Snow White City! Willie was shocked, and rushed to meet him. Before he could greet him, the city lord said meaningfully, "Masefield, you are so brave!"
After all, without waiting for Willy to open his mouth, he walked away.
Willie felt his head go berserk, what the hell was going on.
Just at this moment, a piece of floating debris flew in front of Willie's eyes, and the big "Autumn" character on it made Willie feel as if he had been struck by lightning, stunned like a clay sculpture.
The blood on his face faded completely, like white paper.
