Governor Shang Zhouzuo was an interesting person, and he kept his word. The next day he announced that Liuzhou Shuiying would be responsible for the Xunzhou river transportation.

The generals and officials present fell into silence, and then they began to exchange glances. Dozens of minds were rolling around to figure out the meaning of "Liuzhou Water Camp assumes Xunzhou". This is the governor's view of Xunzhou's power.

of suppression?

Or is He Yujiu starting to be favored? Or is it a trap? How will the battlefield pattern next year be affected? He Yujiu controls the food. If he deliberately causes trouble and cuts off the support of a certain road, who can check and balance it?

he?

Ji Yuanxian, the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Army, burst into laughter, "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made. In fact, I have already had this intention. Although the Liuzhou Water Camp is a new army, it is the only water camp in Guangxi. I am afraid that no one else can take on this important task."

." He called Jin Shiqi over and taught him earnestly about the great responsibility, Jin Shiqi said repeatedly.

Liu Qingshen closed He Yujiu's mouth and said nothing. He looked at the river outside the window calmly, as if he had known about this for a long time.

The governor also announced that the bidding for fire guns will continue on the following day. It is a big business of eight thousand fire guns. Wrong, it is an urgent task! Those fire guns will be equipped with Xunzhou Guard, Fengyi Guard, Elephant Taming Guard, Nanning

The four armies of the Guards. The generals of the above four Guards will observe the demonstration of the firecrackers on site and give their evaluation and reference opinions. The final decision will be made by the Governor.

Eighty thousand taels of silver are already within easy reach of Jin Shiqi.

Jin Shiqi's focus in the past few days has been shipbuilding. When Guiping County was attacked by barbarians a few days ago, merchants lost more than a hundred ships. But in the next six months, all parts of Guangdong and Guangxi will continue to transport military supplies to Guiping. This is Jin Shiqi.

business opportunities.

Jin Shiqi opened a "branch venue" at the North Pier where businessmen and people gathered, specifically to display and sell ships. There are rich forestry resources near the treasure port, as well as advanced technologies such as sawmills and automatic cable factories, as well as "standard ship type batches"

A new concept of "production". And the most important thing is that Jin Shiqi revealed a

Information: All ships purchased from Zangbao Port will be able to transport military rations to Guiping next year by "delivering the whole ship" to avoid being blackmailed and made trouble. At first, the merchants were dubious, but this morning they heard that Liuzhou Water

The battalion general took charge of the Xunzhou River Transport and immediately rushed to the boat exhibition and sales venue.

At noon, Jin Shiqi was having a happy discussion with several businessmen, but Liu Dongsheng, the manager in charge of the "main venue", rushed over. "Why are you panicking?" Jin Shiqi said with a smile, "Whose order can't be agreed upon?"

Liu Dongsheng said in a trembling voice: "Fire gun! Our precious fire gun was taken away by General He Shen!"

Jin Shiqi was shocked and stunned.

The "Apocalypse Seven Style" firecrackers, which were produced in a limited edition of 10, performed extremely well in last night's "Chengnan Night Battle". Several of the guns were slightly damaged, which made Jin Shiqi feel very distressed. He only had one left at the exhibition.

To show off, the remaining 9 guns were hidden on the Wu Teng, waiting for tomorrow's bidding demonstration. But just now, He Yujiu sent someone to take away the 9 guns.

General He Shen is Jin Shiqi's immediate superior, and he is also the commander-in-chief of the Liuzhou water camp. How dare the sailors on the Wu Teng disobey his orders!

Jin Shiqi's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt like his life was being grasped... Without further ado, he immediately went to see General He.

…

"My subordinate Jin Shiqi pays homage to General...I'm coming in!" He pushed open the door and rushed into General He's inner hall. General He was writing something with a pen when the nine muskets were thrown at his feet.

Bian, Jin Shiqi’s heart was broken!

"I knew you would come!" He Shen dropped the pen on the ground with a bang.

Several guards outside the door rushed in and chased him in. Jin Shiqi was walking too fast just now and didn't even stop him. General He shouted angrily, and the guards rushed up and pinned Jin Shiqi firmly to the ground.

"Don't think I don't know! You went to ask the governor for the matter of Xunzhou's river transportation yesterday!"

Jin Shiqi opened his mouth and said bravely: "That's right!"

"Jin Shiqi, what the hell are you going to do!" He Shen kicked him in the chest and knocked him to the ground. The guards hurriedly lifted him up and held him down.

"Jin Shiqi! I have warned you over and over again that your main responsibility is to transport salt to me! Transport salt! Transport fucking salt! Do you think you are a hero? There are a hundred of you like this in Guangxi! I will enable you

You think highly of you, I asked you to be my oxen and horses, you should obey orders like a dog!" General He Shen was so angry that his hands trembled, "Jin Shiqi, sooner or later I will be destroyed in your hands! Could you... force me to do it with my own hands?

To strangle you?"

Before he finished speaking, several more guards stepped in. They all carried long, dark axes in their hands. They shouted angrily: "General!"

"Why are you still standing there, take action!"

Jin Shiqi was so shocked that his heart stopped beating, but he was pinned to the ground unable to move. Some of the guards holding the ax recognized Jin Shiqi, and they lamented in a low voice: "Jin Dusi, I'm sorry!" They picked up the ax and chopped it down.

.

Jin Shiqi howled!

He watched helplessly as those huge hammers struck him in the air, hitting his lifeblood - the nine firecrackers! The firecrackers were chopped so hard that they bounced up, spun around, rolled down, and filled the hall.

There was a clear and crisp sound of breaking.

Those fire blunderbuss tubes were made of wrought iron, and they deflated after being struck by an ax three or two times. After another seven or eight blows, they even broke apart with the wooden support underneath. The remaining wood and broken iron were left in the hall.

Everything was scattered, and the exquisite parts were scattered all over the floor!

Jin Shiqi's heart was bleeding, and it hurt more than smashing his finger! But he didn't say a word, he just lowered his head and looked at the miserable scene in front of him, watching his hard work being shattered.

He watched helplessly as a small silver hook jumped over and hit his knee. The small curved part was a matchlock faucet clip, and there were fine polishing marks on it. Then, a few tears suddenly fell on it, and then

Can't see clearly anymore...

General He Shen also sat helplessly on the chair, staring blankly at the nine firecrackers being smashed one after another. He was not happy at all. After a long while, he whispered, "Jin Shiqi... I am doing it for you. I am

To wake you up!" He trembled: "If you dare to win, Prince Jingjiang will kill you!"

"You are afraid of him!" Jin Shiqi said softly.

"Damn it!" He Shenjiang immediately became furious and rushed up to grab Jin Shiqi. He actually grabbed his neck with both hands and tried to squeeze him to death with his own hands.

"Don't hurt him!" There was a sudden roar outside the door, and a man rushed in amid the noise.

It turned out to be Huang Kuan!

Several guards rushed over to catch him, "Let go!" Unexpectedly, He Shenjiang shouted immediately. He stared blankly at Huang Kuan, as if looking for some trace on that wrinkled face. After a while,

He then said in a trembling voice: "Are you...Huang Liuzai?"

Huang Kuan sneered: "He Jiulang, I thought you had forgotten everything!"

He Dusi gritted his teeth and said, "How could I forget! You beast, you actually came to my door in person."

"What a joke, I've been following Mr. Ding in Guangdong for so many years, why don't you dare to come and look for me? You feel guilty in your heart!"

Jin Shiqi was puzzled when he heard this, thinking that the two of them had a past, and it was very unpleasant. He suddenly remembered that when he came to Xunzhou, Huang Kuan had said that he had a grudge against General He Shen, and was not even willing to be on the same boat with him. Unexpectedly,

For his own sake, he actually jumped out!

Huang Kuan, you are so righteous!

He Yujiu has let go of Jin Shiqi, and he has found another target that makes him more angry. His hands are trembling, and he is staring at Huang Kuan with anger. Now he only needs to give an order, and those guards can kill him.

Huang Kuan.

"You can't kill him!" Huang Kuan pointed at Jin Shiqi, who faced He Yujiu with his thin body. "You don't know, he is Xiaoyao's husband!"

He Yujiu immediately asked an important question: "Who is Xiaoyao?"

Huang Kuan actually said sternly: "Are you still pretending not to know? You are shameless! It's a shame that Ai Mei..."

"Ai Mei? Is this what you call Ai Mei?" He Yujiu's face immediately turned red.

"I've been asking for it for seven years! She says yes every time!"

In an instant, the two men began to yell at each other - you called me ruthless, I called you stupid, you called me cowardly, I called you ugly, you are an unscrupulous beast, you are a bastard... The guards' faces were frightened.

He was pale and didn't know what to do. Jin Shiqi also hid aside, and he gradually understood - it turned out that these two uncles were love rivals. That "Ai Mei" was the name of Xiaoyao's mother, and they were all her admirers back then.

!

He suddenly remembered that Wu Yongbo once said to him, "Ding Laoxi's daughter was a enchantress who was admired by everyone in the Guangdong circle. My brother-in-law He Shenjiang also missed her..."

It seems that he is not only thinking about him, but also is unforgettable, and the love between humans and ghosts is unforgettable...

He Yujiu was roaring: "I once spent a good night with Ai Mei, for seven days and six nights in a row, we had a great time! Huang Liu, you are jealous, you have never even touched her hand!"

"How can a villain like you know what a gentleman does? So what if it's seven days? I've been with her for three years! The last thing Ai Mei saw when she died was me. I threw her into the sea with my own hands!"

"So what, I am the only man she loves most, she said it herself!"

"That was because she was blind, and she regretted it a long time ago. She entrusted Xiaoyao to me. Before she died, she personally told Xiaoyao, 'All men are heartless, except for grandpa, only Akuan can be trusted!'

Haha, she didn’t mention you at all!”

"You're obviously talking nonsense! That's not the tone Ai Mei spoke in!" He Yujiu was furious, "Wait a minute! Who is Xiaoyao!"

"Ha, I'll tell you because you feel so pitiful! She is...Ai Mei's daughter!"

General He's body swayed slightly, and he stared at Huang Kuan in shock, his face changing like lake water blown by the wind. "How is it possible..." He suddenly remembered something, and he glared at Jin Shiqi,

"Xiaoyao, how could I be deceived by you? I don't believe it!"

"It's a long story, let me give you an idea..." Jin Shiqi struggled to stand up and took out a pair of silk scarves from his pocket.

On it was the portrait of Xiaoyao embroidered by Su Moer. After Jin Shiqi's correction, it was even closer to her true appearance than that portrait. He Shen grabbed a handful of her and looked at it, and he shed tears as he looked at it.

Tears. "It's really her! It's true! Although she's not as beautiful as her mother, she's almost the same... Look at her eyes, they're just a little smaller..."

"Sir, please respect yourself. That's not your sister, that's my wife! Please take your mouth away..."

He Yujiu grabbed Jin Shiqi and said, "She is the child of Ai Mei and...whose child? Is she...mine?"

Jin Shiqi hurriedly snatched the silk back, "Don't ask me about this!"
