A knife in love

Chapter 3063

When Li Qiufeng heard Ding Guan say this, his heart shivered, and he thought that Ding Guan was right. Yuan Meihui went to sea with her father to do business, met pirates and soldiers from the Matsuda family, and almost got her innocence tarnished by thieves several times.If she was allowed to go ashore and go home by herself, she would be easily killed by a traitor.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's expression changed, he pondered for a moment, and said in his mouth: "This woman claims to live in Izumo, but I don't know where Izumo is, and how far is it from the wharf of Fusang Country we are going to?"

After listening to Li Qiufeng, Ding Guan said respectfully: "Although I have never been to Izumo, I have heard people mention the situation of Izumo. This place is located in the middle of Fusang Kingdom. There are many mountains and rivers in the territory, and the terrain is steep. It is difficult to defend. According to my estimation, Izumo is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from the pier we are going to. Yuan Meihui is a weak woman. She can't ride a horse, so she can only go to Izumo on foot. Even if she sleeps overnight, Hurrying desperately, luckily did not encounter robbers and treacherous people on the way, it will take at least half a month to return to the cloud."

Li Qiufeng frowned after hearing what Ding Guan had said, and said, "According to what Mr. Ding said, I'm afraid she will be killed by a traitor if she can't walk for dozens of miles. In this way, instead of saying that we If we saved her life, it would be better to say that we killed her."

Ding Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't say that. If Uncle Li and Miss Mu hadn't rescued her, this girl would have been buried in the belly of a fish. How can it be said that Uncle Li and Miss Mu didn't save her? Even if she went ashore Afterwards, being murdered by a traitor has nothing to do with Uncle Li and Miss Mu, it was because she didn't cultivate in her previous life that she was in danger, so how could it be blamed on her savior?"

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "However, if Uncle Li is worried that Yuan Meihui will be in danger on the way, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is appropriate."

Hearing Ding Guan's words, Li Qiufeng glanced at him, and said: "Mr. Ding is smart and witty, and the idea he came up with must be very good. Mr. Li is all ears."

Ding Guan said "Don't dare", and then said respectfully: "There are hundreds of Fusang men and women on the two big boats behind us. When we arrive at the pier, we might as well pick a few honest Fusang people The obedient old man and old woman promised to give them dozens of taels of silver, and then take their children as hostages, and let them send Yuan Meihui back to Izumo. The people in Fusang are greedy, and they heard that we want to give them silver, so naturally They are willing to listen to our orders and do their best for us. Besides, their children are held in our hands. Even if they have evil intentions, they dare not make troubles. They can only escort Yuan Meihui home obediently. This is what I came up with As for the method, as for whether it is feasible, it is up to Uncle Li to decide."

Li Qiufeng nodded after listening to Ding Guan, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Ding's plan is very clever, and Li admires it. But Yuan Meihui was rescued by Miss Mu at the risk of a great risk. Do you want to follow Mr. Ding's plan?" It is a clever plan to send Yuan Meihui back to Izumo, and I have to consult Miss Mu before making a decision."

Ding Guan had heard Li Qiufeng's lies before, thinking that Murong Danyan was Yang Zhenzhong's confidant, and this time he went to Fusang Kingdom, he had to follow Murong Danyan's orders in everything, and Li Qiufeng was just helping from the side.So after listening to Li Qiufeng's words, Ding Guan hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Yes, it's natural. This matter must be reported to Miss Mu, and she will make up her mind."

The two chatted for a few more words, the boss of the boat walked over quickly, bowed to Li Qiufeng and Ding Guan, and said respectfully: "Uncle Li, Uncle Ding, it's not the time now, the villain thinks it's time to get it." Turn the bow of the ship to the east as soon as possible, and enter the pier after dark."

Ding Guan nodded after listening to the boss of the boat, turned to look at Li Qiufeng, and said respectfully: "Master Li, please make a decision."

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Li has already said before that the matters at sea will be presided over by the two of you, and Li does not dare to dictate. It is up to the two of you to decide whether we should set off immediately."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Ding Guan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li is too modest, which makes us uneasy. Since Uncle Li believes in me, I dare not refuse, so I have to make my own opinion. Please don't blame Uncle Li."

After Ding Guan finished speaking, he turned around and waved to the boss of the boat, and said, "Turn the bow of the boat to the east, and you must enter the dock after dark."

The boss of the ship agreed, bowed his hands to Li Qiufeng and Ding Guan, turned around and ran towards the mast.The boatmen who sneaked into the cabin and bombarded the Matsuda family navy warship had already returned to the deck, some were standing under the mast, some were waiting at the bow and stern, waiting for the boss to give orders.The boss of the boat rushed to the bottom of the mast and said loudly: "Brothers, let's set sail and go straight to Fusang country!"

All the boatmen got impatient with the waiting, the boss of the boat just finished speaking, only to hear the boatmen agree loudly, some followed the boss to turn the sails, some grabbed the rudder, and the bow of the big ship slowly turned under the boss’s orders. Dongfang, then cut through the waves and sailed straight to the east.

Ding Guan saw that the big ship was already moving, so he said to Li Qiufeng: "It will take at least four or five hours to get to the pier we are going from here. The sea is windy and very cold, so Mr. Li should go back to the cabin to rest stop."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in his mouth: "I have lived in the cabin for a long time these days, and I feel a little stuffy. It is much more comfortable to stand on the deck and blow the sea breeze. Mr. Ding does not need to accompany him on the deck. , or go back to the cabin to rest."

Although Ding Guan didn't want to stay on the deck to enjoy the sea breeze, he just wanted to go back to the cabin to drink tea and rest, but he was afraid that Li Qiufeng would blame him for not being with him, so he had to say with a smile: "Uncle Li is right, we have been Living in the cabin is really depressing, and I also want to accompany Uncle Li to take a breath on the deck, so as to avoid chest tightness and shortness of breath, and feel uncomfortable in my heart."

The two stood on the side of the boat and chatted. Before they knew it, the big boat walked for more than two hours, and a black line appeared faintly on the sea ahead.Ding Guan pointed to the black line with his right hand and said with a smile: "Master Li, please look, that is the coast of Fusang Kingdom. In more than an hour, our big ship will be able to enter that hidden pier."

Li Qiufeng gazed into the distance, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and said to Ding Guan: "Li has never been to Fusang country, so he doesn't know what the situation in Fusang country is like, and there are many things in his mind. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the wharf It must be controlled by the government, and tax officials must be set up to collect taxes. Mr. Ding said that the wharf we are going to is extremely secret and not under the jurisdiction of the court of Fusang Kingdom. It is really hard to believe. Could it be that the officials of Fusang Kingdom are so stupid that How can there be such a reason in the world to turn a blind eye to such a huge pier and just ignore the ships coming and going from other countries?"
