Chapter 241: Take away the gun

Qi Ying led 600 Qi soldiers down from Tiantai Mountain. They dressed up as Japanese soldiers and lay in ambush on both sides of Jiao Valley, waiting for Nightingale to send people to send guns.

Balubu led a hundred mercenaries and rushed to Jiao Valley with a thousand flintlock guns. Qi soldiers rushed out from the entrance of the valley to block the mercenaries' retreat.

Qi Ying disguised himself as a white elephant, pointed a golden wheel at Balu and preached: "Put down your guns and leave quickly."

Balubu cupped his fists and said, "I'm just an errand boy. I don't know how to say nice things. As agreed, we will leave after handing over the two carts of calligraphy treasures."

The fake white elephant laughed loudly and said: "You go back and tell Nightingale that I, White Elephant, don't need to be loyal to Nightingale. I am grateful to him for sending me guns for free, haha."

Barub said angrily: "Didn't you agree to exchange calligraphy treasures for guns? Thieves have their own ways and don't do this."

"I'm sorry," Fake White Elephant said, "That's what I said, but my master Xin Wulang doesn't agree. I have no choice. You put down your guns and go back quickly."

Barub said angrily: "I can't give that gun to you."

The mercenaries picked up guns from the car and loaded them with bullets in preparation for battle.

The fake white elephant shouted loudly: "Do you think you can get out if you don't leave your guns behind?"

After the fake white elephant finished speaking, the Qi army soldiers waved flags and shouted on the hillside. The flags they used were Japanese army flags.

Balubu saw that the Japanese army's flags were densely covered in the valley, as if there were two thousand people.

There were only a hundred people in Balubu's group, so they had no choice but to put down their guns and hold their heads in submission.

The fake white elephant waved to Balubu. Balubu walked over and stared at the fake white elephant curiously. If he wanted to hit him, he would hit him and don't play any tricks.

The fake white elephant whispered to Balubu: "Although I, the white elephant, stole the calligraphy treasure, I can only make money by selling the calligraphy treasure.

You are not at a loss, you can go back and tell Nightingale, let him sell the information to Braden, and ask Braden to come to Jiao Valley to buy calligraphy treasures, so that you can also earn an information fee."

Barub breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the white elephant wanted to carry out a sneak attack, so he replied: "Well, it's better to have the information fee than to go back empty-handed."

Balubu led the team back to Taizhou City. Balubu entered Taizhou City alone.

Although Xu Weixue suspected that the mercenaries had stolen the guns, the mercenaries were Nightingale's soldiers.

Even if Xu Weixue had evidence to prove that the mercenaries stole the guns, nothing could be changed. He neither dared to kill the mercenaries nor complain about Nightingale.

After Balubu entered the house, he told Nightingale about the situation in Jiaogu. Nightingale was so angry that he cursed: "Damn White Elephant, damn Xin Wulang, how dare you deceive me!"

Barubu asked: "Master, do you want me to lead the mercenaries to attack Shingoro?"

Nightingale stared at Barub and reprimanded severely: "Your responsibility is to supervise the Xu family's forces and prevent them from rebelling. You don't need to worry about other things."

Barub lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master."

Nightingale encouraged again: "You just have to do your job well. Once you become the chief of your tribe, you will be the one."

Barub thanked him: "Thank you, master."

Nightingale said: "Before you leave the city, you have to do one thing. Kill A Ming, the guy from the Chamber of Commerce."

Barubu couldn't find Amin's home, so Nightingale led Barubu to find Amin's home.

Barub broke into Amin's house and found that the house was empty. Nightingale said angrily: "Damn Amin!"

Balubu left the city and returned to Xinhe County with a hundred mercenaries, and continued to work under Ye Ma's tent.

Let's say that Braden learned that the guns had been robbed, and came to question Xu Weixue: "Boss Xu, I heard that our guns were robbed by unknown gangsters, is it true?"

Xu Weixue passed the blame and said: "Xin Wulang's general Bai Xiang led his men into the city and robbed the guns."

Braden was furious and cursed: "Damn Shingoro!"

Xu Weixue comforted him: "For you, guns are just street goods. You can buy them at any time. These lost guns are not worth mentioning."

Braden said sadly: "This is not an ordinary gun. This is a flintlock gun. It is the latest upgraded version of the matchlock gun. It is very expensive and I can't afford it."

Xu Weixue said disapprovingly: "You are telling lies with your eyes open. Portugal and Spain are fighting in South America. There are discarded guns everywhere, just like scrap metal."

No one picks it up, how can it be as expensive as you said?"

Braden wondered: "None of them use this type of flintlock gun. This type of flintlock gun is sold in small quantities and is very expensive. Many armies cannot buy it. It's a pity that it was robbed when it was said to be robbed."

We only carry a thousand guns when we go out. Without guns we have no sense of security."

Xu Weixue smoked a cigarette and pointed out: "Old friend, there is no problem of insecurity now.

Do you understand that when you carry guns and invade the land of Ming Dynasty, this is considered an invasion?

Fortunately, I, Xu Weixue, am protecting you. If Qi Jiajun and the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers discover you, you won't be able to escape!

You should listen to my advice and buy some calligraphy treasures as soon as possible, so as not to have endless nightmares and be unable to leave."

Braden said disapprovingly: "I'm here to buy goods. We need calligraphy from the Ming Dynasty. We have not violated the Ming Dynasty."

Xu Weixue explained: "The land under your feet now is the land of the Ming Dynasty. You are not the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. Stepping here with a gun on your back is an infringement, do you understand?"

Braden said impatiently: "Okay, you sell me the calligraphy treasure as soon as possible, and I will leave tomorrow."

Xu Weixue said: "Okay, two carts of calligraphy treasures and three hundred thousand taels of silver. Hand over the silver and deliver it immediately."

Braden said happily: "Okay, the silver is on my ship, let's trade it at Haimenwei."

Haimen Guard is the common retreat for Xu Weixue and Xin Wulang. Anyone who wants to monopolize Haimen Guard will cause a war. Therefore, Haimen Guards Xu Weixue and Xin Wulang have troops stationed there.

Both sides maintained restraint and peaceful coexistence at Haimen Guard. Troops from both sides could travel through Haimen Guard.

Xu Weixue was worried that exposing so much silver to Haimenwei would make Xin Wulang jealous and risky. Xin Wulang might send troops to rob the silver, so he could not choose to trade at Haimenwei.

Xu Weixue reminded: "There is no need to trade with Haimenwei. There are Xin Wulang's soldiers there. Be careful of their evil intentions."

Braden said: "Where is the best place to trade?"

Xu Weixue said: "Go to Cen Port Trading Bar. It is the safest place to trade. I will send Xu Hai to Cen Port."

Braden said happily: "Okay, that's good."

Nightingale rushed to the brothel wearing a half-mask, and saw foreign soldiers staying in the brothel watching a show and drinking, with women waiting on them.

Nightingale observed this group of foreign soldiers. One of them was wearing a military uniform and wearing a medal. He was a small leader. Judging from his appearance, he had some weight in Braden's army.

Nightingale sat in the crowd, poured wine to the foreign soldier leader and said with a smile, "Friend, I'd like to toast you a glass of wine."

Nightingale has lived in Zhoushan Island for a long time, met many foreigners, and can speak Portuguese.

The foreign soldier asked in surprise in Chinese: "Who are you? Why are you still wearing a mask?"

Nightingale smiled and said: "So you can speak Chinese, you are capable and capable."

The foreign soldier said proudly: "Thank you for the compliment. I have been doing business in Ming Dynasty with the captain for many years, and I have learned Chinese long ago. Tell me what you want."

Nightingale smiled and said: "I have good news for you. I have good information to sell to you. I know where the ink treasure is."

The foreign soldier said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter if you know where the Mo treasure is, we will set off for Cengang tomorrow.

Our captain and Boss Xu are going to Cengang to trade calligraphy treasures. What kind of good information is yours? Don’t stay here and disturb our enjoyment. Let’s go quickly.”

Nightingale became angry and walked out, thinking that Xu Weixue and Braden must not be allowed to go to Cengang to make a successful transaction. Xu Weixue cannot be left alone to eat this illegal thing.

Xu Weixue's uncle and nephew dared to eat alone behind his master's back for the first time, and he dared to eat alone behind his master's back for the second time. In the future, he would find a way to eat alone behind his master's back.

Nightingale thought that the reason why dogs are loyal and obedient is that they feel insecure if they do not have the right to food in their own hands.

If the dog has a way to bypass its master to find food, it is probably not loyal, and may find an opportunity to bite the master away.
