The process of taking Liu Rushi away was a tragic parting. Liu Rushi cried like a man in tears. Hong Huang held a knife in his hand and put it to his neck to commit suicide. It is said that a man can't protect his woman, so he might as well die.

Scar didn't care about the young master's life or death. Even the Queen Mother had to find a way to get the woman Li Xiu wanted.

The sacks were put on their heads, and the two soldiers picked them up and left. As for Young Master Hong, who was about to commit suicide, he did not dare to utter a single foul word from the beginning to the end.

When Liu Rushi was brought to Li Xiu, Sun Yuanhua had not left yet. This was the third time he had seen Liu Rushi. Once he saw this woman, he would switch to another man. I just don’t know if this woman would be with the Commander.

Change again.

The hope is very slim, with the current power of the Li family. If Liu Rushi falls in love with someone else, he can only act out the Ming Dynasty version of the unresolved love between man and ghost.

Li Xiu looked Liu Rushi up and down. She looked a little older, but she was still very charming. This woman had a taste for each age group. Liu Rushi was a naturally charming, vixen-reincarnated type. Most men

One look at it will leave a deep impression that will last a lifetime.

"Are you Liu Rushi?"

"Who are you?" After all, you are a woman who has seen big scenes. After being released from the sack, Liu Rushi had already adjusted her emotions and looked at Li Xiu. She should not be an ordinary person who can openly rob people at the Hong family, but she

I didn't expect the other party to be so young.

"You don't need to know who I am, and you don't deserve to know. Since you are Liu Rushi, you must know a lot about Wu Sangui.

I don’t have time to talk to you, so let’s just talk about it!

I give you two choices now. One, you tell me clearly here, and I will send you and your lover back to Daming. How to arrange you is another matter!

Second, if you don't tell me, or you tell me lies, I will also send you back to Daming, and the person who will receive you will be Li Yongfang. We are all real people, don't tell me you don't know who Li Yongfang is.

"Li Xiu didn't even look at Liu Rushi. He threw her a multiple-choice question and just studied the map.

It seems that the charm of the map is far greater than the charming woman in front of me.

Hearing Li Yongfang's name, Liu Rushi shuddered. She knew what kind of existence it was. If it fell into Li Yongfang's hands, it could only be described as wanting to live but not die. It was a devil!

"I don't have much time. Have you thought about it?" Li Xiu took a sip of tea without taking his eyes off the map.

"If the little lady guessed correctly, you must be Mr. Li Xiu and Mr. Li."

"You are very smart. I hope you won't do anything stupid. Tell me everything you know about Wu Sangui and the British. I need those things. In return, I will make your life more comfortable. You know, I have this ability.

." Li Xiu raised his head again and glanced at Liu Rushi.

"Okay! I'll tell you everything I know. I'm sure Mr. Li won't break his promise to a little girl like me." Liu Rushi didn't hesitate at all and immediately decided to betray Wu Sangui.

"Chen Laohu, after you cross-examine me, send the right person to my elder brother by airship."

"Second Master Li!" Liu Rushi shouted eagerly.

"Oh! By the way, there is also her lover." Li Xiu waved his hand impatiently and drew on the map with a pencil.

"Let's go! You're lucky to meet our kind-hearted second master." Chen Laohu roared, and Liu Rushi shivered in fright.

Sun Yuanhua looked at everything in front of him and decided to do things for the Li family from now on. Being able to see such a beautiful woman without being moved means that he is definitely a person who can do great things. From now on, the prosperity and wealth of the Sun family will be tied to the Li family.

Set together.

"Please invite me, Lord Governor! Tomorrow I want to see the man named Joseph. You tell Joseph not to open his mouth like a lion. If that happens, be careful I knock out all his teeth!"

"No! That Joseph is a businessman, I believe the deal will be concluded." Sun Yuanhua obviously accepted the benefits from Joseph, otherwise he would never speak for him like this.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Li Xiu could finally rest for a while. These days, he has been thinking about attacking Sri Lanka that his elder brother mentioned. According to the nautical chart bought from the Portuguese, Sri Lanka is very close to India.

It is a very large island. If troops are stationed on it, it will definitely be a nightmare for the British. If nothing else, the endless airship bombings every day can directly destroy Bombay.

Who would want to stay in a place where bombs are dropping all day long?

Moreover, based in Sri Lanka, the arsenal ship will be a nightmare for any Indian coastal city. Hundreds of kilograms of rockets will directly hit it, and no matter how strong the warship is, it will not be able to withstand it.

Walking on the shore, the beach underfoot was very soft. Li Xiu took off his shoes and it was very comfortable to step on the sand. This Xinjiapo guarded the throat of the strait, and Li Xiu admired his eldest brother's strategic vision in seizing this place.

However, he has always had doubts in his heart. He knew for sure that before the tragedy, his eldest brother Li Xiao only went to Hengren once with his father. Where did his knowledge come from? Mr. Wu, the most knowledgeable man in the village, carried his eldest brother's shoes.

Neither deserves it.

The eldest brother randomly pointed out the exact location of Xinjiapo at his feet on the map. There are also Sri Lanka and the Middle East that he has never seen before. Those are things that exist in the mouth of maritime merchants. There is no way that the eldest brother has been there, but

Can accurately tell the location of Sri Lanka, as well as the specialties of the Middle East.

The elder brother said that there is oil in the deserts of the Middle East, but according to the information he has gathered, the Arabs themselves do not know where the oil is. In other words, they do not know what oil is at all.

He was thinking about something in his head and walked freely. The guards followed him more than ten meters away and did not dare to speak!

There was a large group of soldiers in front of them who had stripped off their buttocks and were taking a bath. It’s not like the soldiers had never seen the sea before. But the sea in Qinhuangdao in winter is completely different from the sea in Xinjiapo in winter. If you take a dip in seawater in Qinhuangdao during this season, it will freeze you alive.

Death. But in Singapore, the sun heats up the sea water, and soaking in the sea water feels like taking a bath.

Li Xiu slowly approached the group of Marines. Some soldiers recognized him and saluted him with their bare buttocks. Li Xiu smiled, pressed his hands, and told them that they did not need to salute during their break.

Suddenly there was a strange cry in the sea, and then a man jumped out of the water like a flying fish.

Li Xiu followed the strange screaming sound and his eyes suddenly went straight. This guy was none other than the third child, Li Hu. When he came out, Li Xiu specially sent Li Hu to Lushun because he didn't want him to participate in this incident.

expedition.

Although the Marine Corps is called the Marine Corps, it is not the same thing as the Army. When landing on the beach, the danger is very high. Although Li Xiao assigned Li Hu to the Marine Corps as a leading soldier, Li Xiu still didn't want anything to happen to his brother.

Son.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually got on the boat without anyone noticing. And after two months of long journey, he was not discovered. This is a miracle.

Li Hu is miserable now. There is a crab hanging on his crotch. The crab's big pincers are clamping so hard on the inside of his thigh that it hurts. Li Hu is so painful that he doesn't dare to pull the crab with his hands. These years

Living on an island, he also knows that the more he pulls on the crab, the tighter it will be.

Li Xiu took a handful of sea water and poured it on the crab shell, and the crab immediately released its clamp.

"Second brother!" Li Hu was a little embarrassed when Li Xiu caught him naked.

"He still got involved. It seems that as a commander, there are times when my words don't work." Li Xiu glanced at Li Hu, who was all red from the sun, and shook his head helplessly.

Although Li Hu fought hard here and there over the years, he also made great military exploits. But he had never been to Singapore. He was not prepared for the scorching sun here. Now his skin looks red, and it will take two days.

Begins to shed.

The shed skin seems to be no different from snake skin, and it is torn into large pieces in vain. The pain can make the strongest man scream. If you take a sea water bath at this time, the feeling will definitely be ecstasy.

.

"Friends help, don't blame them. It's all what I begged for!" Li Hu hurriedly brushed off the others for fear of injuring others.

"The military orders are like a mountain, but when it comes to you, you just fart? You have also been a regiment leader. How should you deal with your subordinates who disobey orders?"

"But you didn't give an order, forbidding me to board the ship and come to Singapore. You just asked me to go to Port Arthur to do some business. After I finished the business, I took the airship and waited for you in Guangzhou for almost a month before boarding the ship."

"You...!" Li Xiu was speechless. He didn't expect that this guy actually used his connections to contact the airship in order to come to Singapore to fight. This guy really has great powers.

"Come to the headquarters and become my adjutant!" Li Xiu said angrily and turned away.

Just after the war, God knows if someone will know Li Hu's identity and attack him. This is not the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but a foreign land of barbarians. Even in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao was assassinated several times. Fortunately,

Li Xiao saved the day from danger several times.

"I'm not going!" Li Hu yelled looking at Li Xiu's back.

"I am the commander of the fleet. If you don't want to, just take the airship back to Ming Dynasty."

Li Hu lamented, the first level of officialdom is overwhelming. If Li Xiu is determined to find trouble, none of the buddies who help him will get any good results.

In the evening, the helpless Li Hu moved into Li Xiu's headquarters. Wearing large pants and short-sleeved clothes, and the latest box cannon, he stood next to Li Xiu, with a red scarf wrapped around his head. He asked the executioner, more than anything like

bodyguard.

Li Xiu knew that he did it on purpose and followed him to make trouble. Anyway, as long as he kept an eye on him and didn't let him get into trouble, it would be fine.

Early the next morning, Sun Yuanhua brought a guy with yellow hair and blue eyes to Li Xiu's headquarters.

Li Xiu carefully looked at the guy in front of him, and his first impression was that he was very hairy. When the sea breeze blew, his whole body seemed to tremble instantly.

The blue eyes were deeply embedded in the eye sockets, and the bridge of his nose was very high. Li Xiu remembered that Li Zhongzi once said that if the nose is big, the job must be big. It is a pity that due to diplomatic etiquette, he can't pick off this guy's nose.

Look at the pants.

Joseph's skin was also tanned red by the sun and looked no different than a cooked crab.

"Dear Commander of the Ming Navy, Joseph from France sends you the most respectful greetings." This guy named Joseph is very polite, at least in front of Li Xiao. Because he knows that this is the boss, and

It was still the same kind of thing. But he was a little shocked. This boss seemed to be too young.

"Hello Joseph! I want your Egyptian laborers very much, but I don't have that many Ming silver coins in my hand. I hope you won't put forward a price that I can't resist. That will not be good for us." Li Xiu pointed out.

He moved the chair and motioned for Joseph to sit down.

"Oh! Dear Commander, I don't want to exchange a lot of money. If you allow it, you can pay us the equivalent value of arms." Joseph immediately proposed a new plan.

"Arms? What do you want arms for?" Li Xiu immediately became alert. He was instinctively alert to any businessman who wanted arms. In Li Xiu's opinion, only the Portuguese seemed more reliable among Europeans.

, the rest are just as bad as the British.

If arms are sold to bad guys, if these guns are returned, the pressure on Ming Dynasty's security will be too great.

"Oh! Don't get me wrong, my commander. My brother Napoleon is leading the French army to sweep away the Egyptian Pharaoh and his army. The Mamluk cavalry is very difficult to deal with. It was a team that once defeated the Mongols. We

I suffered a loss on the battlefield, and if I want to move back, I need your Lord Commander to take care of me.

Although he doesn’t know what the Mamluks are, Li Xiu knows that in the distant Middle East, there is a group of people who are still fighting bravely. They are not like some people who have a mental breakdown."

"I definitely can't give you the latest musket." Because the 7.62mm shooter reloads quickly, is powerful, and the damage it causes is disappointing.

"I have inquired clearly. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that all wars rely on artillery. Why don't we use Egyptian labor to trade with you? If something happens, someone will naturally take care of it, and you will definitely not be affected." Joseph beat his chest.

It makes a "bang" and "bang" sound.

"I'm not afraid of those things, but why do you want arms?" Li Xiu was almost certain that Kabul and Kandahar were going to rebel recently.

"It's not for my brother, those Mamluk cavalry. They are all wearing heavy armor. When you block the bullets in the wall, everything has just begun. When you run out of ammunition, those sharp Damascus steel knives will

It will fall on your head.

So my brother urgently needs a firearm that can fire continuously and has a farther range than a pistol. I don’t know if the commander can satisfy my small request." Joseph said a lot, and the gossips around him started.
