Although Luzon has been controlled by Li Yin, because the suppression of the tribal alliance was not thorough at the beginning, some unwilling natives fled into the jungle in central Luzon, and occasionally came out to harass them. It won't have much impact, but if someone is not careful, they might die.But if it is in the coastal area, there will be no living space for such native robbers.

The pine tree plateau where Feng Shijie lived was relatively close to the coast, and with the influence of the gold mine, there were many Han Chinese living there, and even an army was stationed here. It should be safe here, but as the saying goes, Xiao He, The defeat is also Xiao He. Although the gold mine has brought wealth and prosperity to this plateau, it has also attracted the attention of the remaining natives on Luzon Island.

These remnants of native forces did not have the guts to provoke the cities in the coastal areas, but they had the guts to come to the Pine Tree Plateau to do wild things. In the past two years, they formed a bandit gang called "Revenge", and somehow got into the vicinity of the Pine Tree Plateau, often Targeting convoys or fleets of gold transporters, though rarely successful, is cumbersome.

In addition, this plateau is surrounded by high mountains, which provide them with a natural refuge. Even if a large army is sent to suppress them, as long as they hide in the mountains, no one can do anything to them. This also makes the people on the pine tree plateau feel A sense of crisis, many people have strengthened their own defenses. For example, Feng Shijie's current residence was built at that time, and the entry and exit of strangers are also strictly checked.

Later, the gang of avenging bandits fell into the strategy of the government army to lure snakes out of the cave, and were lured out by a caravan transporting gold. As a result, they fell into an ambush by the government army, and half of them were killed on the spot. The rest of the natives who surrendered were also hanged. , the vicinity of the Pine Tree Plateau finally settled down again.Capital Datang 553

However, although the Vengeful Bandit Group was destroyed.However, the vigilance on the Pine Tree Plateau has not relaxed. For example, Feng Shijie's home is not only very solidly built, but also employs a group of guards. Strangers are not allowed to enter or leave at all, so when Lu Wan came to visit Feng Shijie, he was blocked at the door In the end, only people can report to the inside.

But Lu Wan didn't wait long, and after a while, he heard jiliè footsteps inside.Immediately after the heavy door opened, a young man with bare arms, only wearing a pair of sharkskin swimming trunks and bare feet ran out, and as soon as this man saw Lu Wan standing in front of the door.Immediately overjoyed and said: "Captain, it's really you!"

The person who came out was Feng Shijie.He was teaching his son to swim just now when he heard Lu Wan's visit.He was so happy that he didn't even wear any clothes, so he ran barefoot to the gate to greet him. After all, he and Lu Wan lived and died together on the same boat, and their friendship was extremely deep, so he lost his composure like this.

When Lu Wan saw Feng Shijie's appearance, he immediately laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Shi Jie, you live in such a big house, why are you so poor that you can't even afford clothes?"

Hearing Lu Wan's joke, Feng Shijie also laughed and said: "Captain, don't talk about me. When we were on the boat, who wasn't dressed like this? I came to greet the captain like this, just to show my sincerity! "

Feng Shijie's words made Lu Wan laugh again. When they were exploring the route, the temperature at sea was extremely hot. The whole ship, from the captain to the crew, was all extremely hot, so they didn't dress so neatly, and there were even some clothes. Few people simply bare their buttocks and meet everyone frankly. Back then, Lu Wan and Feng Shijie were better, at least they were still wearing pants.

He made a few jokes about what happened back then, and immediately brought the two old friends who hadn't seen each other closer. At that moment, Feng Shijie invited Lu Wan into the mansion. Call to the lobby.

As for Feng Shijie's wife, Lu Wan already knew that she was a Japanese, which is very rare among Han people, because now both the Tang Dynasty and the Qi Palace have passed legislation that does not allow Han men to marry women of other races, so Lu Wan was very angry about this at the beginning. , I don’t know how Feng Shijie dared to marry a foreign woman as his wife?

However, after the two became close friends, he found out about Feng Shijie's marriage. It turned out that the marriage was authorized by His Royal Highness Qi Wang. However, Lu Wan also felt a little amazed when he saw Qiu Ji in the stone today, thinking that no wonder Feng Shijie was so infatuated, so there are such beauties among Japanese women?

However, although Lu Wan was amazed, he quickly realized that after meeting Qiuji Yunjian, he saw Feng Shijie's sons and daughters again. Half-year-old, who was just able to run, didn't speak very clearly, and kept yelling "for nothing, for nothing" to Lu Wan, which made the whole room laugh. Two pieces of beautiful jade were given to the two brothers and sisters as a meeting gift.

Next, Feng Shijie hosted a banquet in honor of Lu Wan. After the two chatted about their encounters in the past few years, they both felt a little embarrassed. After talking about it, especially the equatorial ocean current, Feng Shijie was also a student of the Nautical Academy and had heard about it, so after listening to Lu Wan's narration, he remained silent for a while.

"Shi Jie, I know that you are living a prosperous life now, and you have a lovely wife and children by your side. Normally, I should not come to you again, but we lived and died together back then, and I also know that you are not an ordinary person, so I am here After discovering that the ocean current is likely to lead to America, I will be the first to come to you." Lu Wan said sincerely.

After Feng Shijie heard this, he remained silent, but his brows slowly frowned.In fact, he had already read the news in the newspaper that Lu Wan was going to organize a fleet to explore the Americas, and even he had a premonition before, knowing that Lu Wan would probably come to him, and today it really did.

Don't look at Feng Shijie's wealth and happy life now, but some people are born with an adventurous gene in their bones. Although they sometimes feel tired and want to live a peaceful life, when such a peaceful life When life really comes, they will feel an unbearable boredom, and Feng Shijie is undoubtedly such a person.

A few years ago, Feng Shijie wanted to expand his own business. Although he was very tired, he was also very fulfilled. This left him no time to think about other things. However, after his business has entered a stable period in the past two years, he has been free. However, although his body is relaxed, his heart cannot be relaxed. He thinks about the past all day long, and what makes him think the most is the time when they explored new routes. Times are precarious, but now that I think about it, I have a different feeling, and even make people yearn for it.

It is precisely because of this mentality that when Feng Shijie heard the news of exploring the Americas, and this time it was led by Lu Wan, he couldn't help but feel an urge to rush to Taiwan. After all, although life is good now, But it wasn't the life he wanted.

Thinking of this, Feng Shijie raised his head and glanced at Lu Wan, and then said: "Since you are the first to come to me, captain, then you can respect Shi Jie, and from my heart, I really want to revisit Let’s take a look at my adventure career back then, but I’m no longer the poor kid who had nothing back then, I have a wife and children at home, especially the children are still young, so if I have to discuss it with my wife!”

Hearing what Feng Shijie said earlier, Lu Wan originally thought that the other party would refuse, but he didn't expect Feng Shijie to discuss it with his wife in the end, which made Lu Wan heave a sigh of relief. At least Feng Shijie didn't refuse, so there is hope for this matter.

In the next few days, under the arrangement of Feng Shijie, Lu Wan visited the gold mine in Pine Tree Plains. Speaking of which, when they landed in Australia, they found a gold mine. Australia's bridgehead, and the gold mines there are also very rich, but unfortunately it is too far away, and the scale of development is far less than here in Luzon.Capital Datang 553

And that night, Feng Shijie, who returned to the inner house, told his wife Yunjian Qiuji about Lu Wan's intention to come. As a result, the woman from the Japanese country said without hesitation: "Everything is up to the husband." call the shots!"

But Feng Shijie sighed helplessly when he heard that, Yunjian Qiuji was born in the noble family of the Japanese country, and she was educated since she was a child to obey her husband's orders, and she would never disobey her husband in the slightest, let alone dare to do anything about her husband's affairs. Any blocking, such as this answer above.

"I want to hear your true thoughts, don't use such words to wrong yourself!" Feng Shijie stepped forward and took his wife's hand.

Hearing her husband's gentle words, Qiuji Yunjian's expression paused, and she lowered her head for a while before she said: "Of course Qiuji is not willing to let your husband go on a long voyage, and she is even more distressed that your husband is suffering at sea, but Qiuji knows that what is on your mind these days It's a lot, but after seeing Captain Lu, he immediately became very happy, which shows that your husband has already made a choice in his heart."

When Yunjian Qiuji said this, she suddenly raised her head, stared at Feng Shijie and said, "Your husband, you can do whatever you want. There is Qiuji in everything in the family. The man's ambition is everywhere. Don't make your husband worry about you because of us." !"

Hearing his wife's affirmative answer, Feng Shijie was also very moved, and his feelings for Qiuji Yunjian became deeper in his heart.And a few days later, as soon as Lu Wangang, who had visited the gold mine, got the good news that Feng Shijie was willing to participate, Lu Wan was also overjoyed. After all, even Feng Shijie, the most important assistant, agreed, so convincing others would be easy too much.

However, when Lu Wan and the others were preparing for their trip to the Americas, Li Zhi, who was far away in Taiwan, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and finally said with great regret: "Oh, Brother Six is ​​finally going to attack the Americas, but unfortunately I can't Send this brave fleet off!"
