Sure enough, within two days of Yu Xiaotian's conversation with Lin Yiyang, Yan Siqi sent a subordinate to Nanyue Island to ask for a meeting with Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian asked Yan Siqi who sent him this time, and the people below reported that it was a man named Chen Xun from Yan Siqi who was sent to Nanyue Island this time.
Yu Xiaotian recalled it and had some impression of this Chen Xun. This man was a close confidant of Yan Siqi. He was one of the twenty-eight brothers who formed an alliance when Yan Siqi came to Taiwan to establish himself. He was quite trusted by Yan Siqi. Yu Xiaotian twice
When I went to Yan Siqi's territory, I saw that Yan Siqi always brought this Chen Xun with him, which shows that this person is the person Yan Siqi trusts the most.
This time when Chen Xun came over, it was basically certain that he was sent by Yan Siqi to find him for help, so Yu Xiaotian nodded and ordered Chen Xun to be brought in.
"Long time no see! It turns out that Third Brother Chen is here. I'm sorry to hear that, but I hope Third Brother Chen will bear with me!" When Yu Xiaotian saw Chen Xun walking into his living room, he put down the book he was holding.
He stood up and greeted Chen Xun with a smile on his face and clasped his fists.
Chen Xun is only in his thirties, with a swarthy face. You can tell at a glance that he is a man who has been working at sea all year round. He is also relatively tall for this era. Even though the weather is cold now, he still rolls up his sleeves as usual.
, showing off his muscular arms.
Seeing Yu Xiaotian reading a book, Chen Xun was a little surprised. Not many of them pirates were literate. People like Zheng Yiguan were both literate and could speak the language of red-haired people and the bird language of Folangji people.
There are really not many people in the world, but today he found out that this Yu Xiaotian can actually read and write.
So Chen Xun quickly clasped his fists and bowed to Xiaotian and said: "Master Yu is too polite! I am just a brother of Master Yan, how dare you let Master Yu come out to welcome you!"
After the two people chatted for a while, the guests and hosts took their seats. Chen Xun immediately took out a gift list from his arms, presented it to Yu Xiaotian with both hands and said: "Master Yu, our eldest master has not seen you for a long time. This time we sent the younger one.
I specially prepared a small gift for Mr. Yu, and I hope Mr. Yu will accept it!"
A guard immediately took the gift list and handed it to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian glanced at the gift list. The front of the gift list clearly said one thousand taels of silver. The following items were all more expensive gifts.
, this small gift is quite generous!
So Yu Xiaotian pretended to be confused and said: "Why is this? Mr. Yan is too polite and does not receive remuneration for no merit. Mr. Yan has nothing to do but why did he think of giving me such a heavy gift? No way! Yu
You can’t accept it!”
Chen Xun showed a bitter smile and said: "You don't have to be polite to me, just accept it! This is the heart of our great master. For such a long time, we have been taking care of you, but we have never been able to repay it. Now I don't hide it.
My boss, I came here this time to ask for my help!"
Yu Xiaotian already understood the purpose of Chen Xun's trip here, but he couldn't show it, so he pretended to be confused and said: "Oh? What Brother Chen said is too foreign. I don't think so since I met Master Yan.
, we have been getting along well for such a long time. If there is anything that needs to be done, Master Yan can just say it. Why should he be so indifferent and give such a big gift to Yu?
By the way, in the past six months, I have rarely seen your ships come to my Nanyue Island. I thought the Yan family was dissatisfied with me! What? This time, you remembered me, Yu?"
When he said this, Yu Xiaotian's words already revealed some dissatisfaction.
Of course Chen Xun knew that Yu Xiaotian was going to investigate. Since the last time Sea Wolf and Chu Cai Lao negotiated with Yan Siqi, Yan Siqi followed Zheng Yiguan's advice and began to be more prepared for Xiaotian and his Sea Wolf.
, gradually began to alienate Hailang, reduced the number of goods and the number of transactions to Nanyue Island, and gradually transferred all business to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, just because he did not want to have too much dealings with Hailang.
People with a discerning eye can actually easily see why Yan Siqi and the others are doing this. In addition, in the past six months, Yan Siqi's men have also been operating quite frequently in the area outside Quanzhou. However, although Yu Xiaotian initially stated in Quanzhou, they did not include it under actual control.
Within the scope, other colleagues can be allowed to move there, but everyone understands that Quanzhou used to be Chu Cai Lao's territory, and it was Sea Wolf who forced Chu Cai Lao out of this territory, so in fact Sea Wolf's influence on the sea surface in Quanzhou is
Have the right to speak.
However, Yan Siqi and the others took the opportunity to insert their feet into this area and did not say hello to the Sea Wolf. This was a bit unjustifiable. Fortunately, Xiaotian did not say anything about it and just acquiesced to their activities in this area.
Now in Yu Xiaotian's words, it was mentioned that Yan Siqi had recently alienated Sea Wolf, which made Chen Xun a little embarrassed, so he coughed and said awkwardly: "We are also very busy during this period, and the goods are not available.
There are too many, so there are a little less here, I hope you will forgive me!"
Yu Xiaotian laughed and stopped dwelling on this matter. He shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, whether you come or not, I won't make any money from you! Haha! Don't mention this matter! But
It actually made Yu feel that Master Yan was deliberately alienating me, and I thought I had offended Master Yan in some way!"
"No, absolutely not. Don't misunderstand Mr. Yu! Recently we heard that Mr. Yu and the government are having a serious dispute, so we don't want to cause trouble to Mr. Yu. That's why we, the eldest boss, have not bothered Mr. Yu recently! And we
While the headmaster was waiting for me to drink, he mentioned the headmaster many times and even praised him as a real man! This time, he showed his face for us colleagues, and he felt proud.
Be obedient! If you look at the sea in our area, only the master Yu has this ability!" Chen Xun explained while quickly flattering Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian sneered in his heart, thinking that if I hadn't struck first this time and blocked the officers and soldiers on the land, unable to let them come to Nanyue Island, and had the officers and soldiers suffered, I guess you guys would be laughing.
It's too late, everyone must be sharpening their knives behind their backs, waiting for me to be unlucky, and then come to seize my territory! Hum!
But he thought so in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface. After chatting with Chen Xun for a few more words, he asked Chen Xun: "Brother Chen, we understand that we don't tell secrets. This time, Brother Yan will not hesitate to take advantage of the situation."
You gave me such a heavy gift, and you also said that you wanted to entrust me with something. In that case, let’s not make any more detours! Is Brother Yan in some trouble and needs Yu’s help? If so,
Brother Chen San may ask, but as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"
What Chen Xun was waiting for was Yu Xiaotian's words, so he quickly replied: "It's not really a trouble. It's just that recently our master wants to buy some guys for the brothers. Now Mr. Yu has a lot of good guys, and there are already a lot of them."
We all know it, so our boss wants to invite Mr. Yu because of our past friendship, and hopes that Mr. Yu can give us some guys! I don’t know if Mr. Yu can give up his love!"
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian frowned immediately, looked into Chen Xun's eyes, and said after a while: "Brother Chen, I'm afraid it's not that simple! Although Yu has been busy recently, I have heard more or less
I learned some news about your side, and now suddenly Brother Yan is coming to me for a guy, so is it related to these recent rumors?"
When Chen Xun heard this, he thought, come on! There really is no airtight wall in this world! It seems that their matter about Zheng Yiguan has really spread, so I'm afraid he can't admit it even if he wants to, and today he
He came to Yu Xiaotian secretly behind Zheng Yiguan's back. If he didn't speak openly and clearly today, Yu Xiaotian might not be able to tell the matter casually, and Zheng Yiguan would soon be caught.
If you know, then things will be more difficult next.
Chen Xun lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, then said to Xiaotian with an expression of embarrassment: "Since Mr. Yu has heard about it, I won't go around in circles! But before I speak out, I still want to ask Mr. Yu to tell me about this incident.
I want to keep these things secret for you and our master, I wonder if you, the master, can agree?"
Yu Xiaotian nodded and said sternly: "If Brother Chen San believes too much, then just say so. But if Brother Chen doesn't believe me, then please speak carefully. Don't act too powerful this time."
Here, please bring this gift back to Brother Chen!"
Chen Xun gritted his teeth and nodded: "Since our boss asked me to come over, then we trust the boss too much! That's fine! If you tell the boss a joke, it can be regarded as a family scandal that should not be made public!
Here’s the thing…”
Next, Chen Xun stopped being evasive and told Yu Xiaotian roughly what happened to them recently about Zheng Yiguan.
As Yu Xiaotian listened, he confirmed it with the information he had obtained. Basically, he was certain that Chen Xun was not hiding anything.
After Chen Xun explained the matter in general, he said bitterly: "This Zheng Yiguan, who came with us, can be regarded as a brother of Babai. Originally, our boss saw that he had many contacts.
Moreover, he has a good brain, so he looks up to him a few times. He always takes good care of him and always looks up to him.
But I didn't expect that after he took over his adoptive father's plate, he immediately turned his back and refused to recognize anyone else. Although he seemed to tolerate our boss, he never restrained his subordinates. The subordinates he brought,
He is disrespectful to our boss at every turn! If this continues, how will he see us as the boss in his eyes!
Recently, our boss has been giving him three points everywhere, but he and his subordinates have gone even further and made our place a mess. In this regard, the boss wants to ask him to restrain his subordinates and make those guys under him restrain themselves, but this
But I pretended not to have heard anything and still allowed his men to mess around with us!
I'm afraid Mr. Yu has also heard about it. This guy has recently taken over shopkeeper Li's plate and his strength has greatly increased. I'm afraid we, the big boss, can no longer control this guy. So, big boss, we are considering making complete preparations.
That's why I sent you here to ask for help from the master. We hope that the master can lend a helping hand at this time. We will definitely be grateful. As long as our place is needed in the future, don't worry about the master. We will definitely give you our full support.
