Chapter 1301 The whereabouts of the eldest princess
When Chu Qing arrived, Xiang Lin looked like this, tied to a wooden stake, with whip marks all over his body.
The old soldier was afraid of being beaten to death, so at first he punched and kicked him, and then he slapped him with a whip. While whipping him, he asked, "Do you want to tell me?"
Xiang Lin said everything, but the old pawn continued to smoke. While smoking, he continued to ask whether you wanted to say it or not.
Xiang Lin really just wanted to die quickly.
What the hell am I still talking about? I’ve already said it, what else do I want to do?
This means that Chu Qing has arrived. If he hadn't arrived, Xiang Lin would have been beaten to death. You must know that people can really be "pained" to death.
Arriving in front of Xiang Lin, Chu Qing looked him up and down: "This guy looks like Greta Thunberg who was abused by Jiang Jinfu. He doesn't look like an assassin either?"
Xiang Lin is indeed not like an assassin. He is very short, less than 1.5 meters tall, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hug the fat girl's belly when he hugged Bihua.
It is precisely because he is short that he can live till now. If he had been a little taller and moved his hands slightly upward when holding Bihua, the fat girl would not have smashed his ribs by sitting on her butt, but her brains would have been squeezed out by sitting on her butt.
Xiang Lin glanced at Chu Qing feebly and recognized the five hundred thousand guan walking upright, the elusive 500,000 guan, the five hundred thousand guan that risked his life, his last vote, and prepared to retire.
The last vote for retirement.
Lin Rui and Cuiyu were brought by Fu San. Freddy took a quick look and frowned: "Master, let this man recover from his injuries."
The trapped Xiang Lin showed no expression at all.
He has already suffered a loss once. Such a beautiful woman who looks like a female Bodhisattva is actually the king of hell, not to mention this ugly ghost in front of him. She looks like the illegitimate child with a bull head and a horse face, and is even fucking uglier than him.
.
Don't tell me, that's what Lin Kui meant. He was beaten like this, and there wasn't much room for him to perform. Only by recuperating his injuries can he perform better.
Chu Qing asked impatiently: "Where did you get the monocular telescope?"
"What monocular?"
"Oh, I'll go, it looks like you haven't beaten me yet." Looking back at Lin Hai, Chu Qing was about to speak, but Xiang Lin almost cried: "Don't fight, don't fight, don't fight, what are you going to ask?"
What, I have said everything that needs to be said, please give me a pleasure, please, please give me a pleasure."
Chu Qing slapped his forehead and realized that he hadn't seen the actual object. He just relied on his words to describe it and thought it was a monocular telescope, and that's not necessarily what it was called.
"It's the long one." Chu Qing made a gesture with his hand: "The thick one can stretch and shrink, and can be long or short."
Xiang Lin was stunned for a moment, with a slightly strange look on his face: "What are you asking about, my portable treasure?"
"Yes, yes, that's the baby."
Xiang Lin hesitated.
He roughly knew what Chu Qing was asking, but, given the way Chu Qing described it just now, he felt that it might not be the case.
Lin Ku slapped him with a big mouth: "I'm asking you, where did that baby come from?"
Xiang Lin was already numb to this level of talk, and asked cautiously: "This treasure you are talking about, is...only I have it, don't you all have it?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Kuai said loudly again: "We have it, why do we ask you for it!"
This time Xiang Lin confirmed: "Yi Yin Tou, this treasure is called Yin Yi Tou."
Chu Qing was extremely speechless: "I don't expect you to call this thing a telescope. At least you can call it a telescope. If not, it can be a hundred-mile eye or a ten-mile eye."
Lin Kui, who had just listened to Fu San's account of what happened, scratched the back of his head and said, "Young Master, I think the name is very good and easy to understand."
Chu Qing: "..."
There was really no way to refute these words. Chu Qing muttered a few sentences, which were quite easy to understand.
Fu San asked: "Where did you get it? Did you make it yourself, or did you get it from somewhere else?"
"Years ago, a woman gave it to me."
"Woman, what woman?"
"Wear a veil and a Taoist robe."
Chu Qing and Fu San looked greatly moved at the same time.
Now Xiang Lin just wanted to die quickly, and kept talking, "She said she wanted to go to sea, and she wanted the nautical charts and shipbuilding plans in my hands, so she exchanged these treasures with me."
Chu Qing leaned forward and looked into Xiang Lin's eyes with a solemn expression: "No matter how big or small it is, I will explain it clearly!"
Xiang Lin just wants to die quickly and happily. There is no point in hiding it. He must tell the whole story.
First of all, this boy's background is not an ordinary person, and certainly not a wealthy family. His ancestors have been shipwrights for generations. He is not an ordinary shipwright, but a shipwright who builds warships. He is similar to a chief engineer who works hard to build ships for aristocratic families.
To build a warship, his ancestors must have sailed around for generations, and it was precisely because of this that many nautical charts were drawn.
A few decades ago, nautical charts were sold everywhere. Unlike now, where they are all in the hands of aristocratic families or boat masters, many of the sellers of nautical charts were sailors or shipwrights.
However, things like craftsmanship have little to do with genetics. In Xiang Lin's father's generation, the ability to build warships is getting worse as time goes by, and there is no core competitiveness in the industry. However, the charts made by Xiang's family are relatively famous.
I bought a lot of them, and someone bought them every now and then, which made me famous.
Xiang Lin is not a shipwright. He specializes in taking orders from Didi, but his nominal identity is to sell nautical charts privately.
Because of this, seven years ago, a woman wearing a Taoist robe found him. She was of high quality and self-cultivation. After kicking open the door of his house, she gently hit his head against the wall and asked Xiang Lin
Can you give her some nautical charts and shipbuilding plans?
Xiang Lin had also been practicing martial arts since he was a child. How could he be so intimidated? He knelt on the ground and handed the sea and ship charts to the female Taoist.
In order to express her gratitude, the female Taoist took away all the banknotes and valuables from the Lin family.
As for the first glance, it was not given to Xiang Lin by the eldest sister. Instead, Xiang Lin was asked to find a kind of spar, and he was asked to search for it with the first glance and collect more. Of course, it was not a free help. After all, he was a qualified person.
, the female Taoist priest promised Xiang Lin that if she collected crystal stones, she could give Xiang Lin a life as a gift when she came over again. The general meaning was that she could spare Xiang Lin a dog's life when she came over.
That's what happened. Xiang Lin really collected a lot of spar, but after waiting and waiting for more than a year, the female Taoist priest never appeared again. However, he heard about one thing, a ship belonging to the Taoist Master Luo Yundao.
The sea-going ship was robbed. To be precise, it was not just one ship that was robbed, but one ship and more than 30 sailors were robbed.
Although Xiang Lin didn't know the inside story, he felt that it had something to do with the female Taoist priest. After all, the female Taoist priest's qualities were there, and it seemed like she could do it.
Chu Qing and Fu San looked at each other, and both of them were extremely certain that this person should be the eldest princess, Chu Qing's mother.
It has nothing to do with intuition or even Taoist robes, it just has to do with quality.
Just this quality reminded them of the same person involuntarily.
Lin Shi asked stupidly: "Isn't this person the same man who dressed up as a woman in the past?"
No one paid attention to him. The expression on Chu Qing's face was very inexplicable, and he said quietly: "No wonder my father and my mother are a couple."
Desperate and helpless, she begged Lin, "Can you give me a happy life now?"
Looking at Xiang Lin's miserable appearance, Chu Qing suddenly realized that the boy in front of him was quite pitiful.
