The little businessman looked at the scholar, his eyes darting around, but he didn't answer. "It's also my fault. You four have been on my ship for so long, and I haven't asked for your name yet!" Ling Qingyu came closer and said with a smile
The scholar sighed, stood up, saluted, and said, "The master has saved the three of us brothers many times, and we won't hide it. My name is Zhu Weili, this is Zhou Tan, and this is Huang Jing."
"You're the ingenious Huang Jing? You, the peerless Zhou Tan? And you, Zhu Weili, the aide to the King of Chu?" Yang Zhao whispered, with deep anger in his voice.
"Major General Yang, we have also been framed." Zhu Weili sighed. He bowed to Yang Zhao and shared the full story saying, "It turned out that Wang Guifei came to the King of Chu, saying that she accidentally broke the jade seal, and asked the King of Chu to help make a new one. The King of Chu went down to find Mr. Zhou and Mr. Huang. Who knew that later, the Wang family will accuse the King of Chu of secretly collecting the dragon robe and jade seal. They then found his letters with Old General Yang in the King of Chu's study. The Holy Emperor was so stupid that he actually ordered for the whole family of the King of Chu to be beheaded and killed the three clans of Old General Yang. The three of us hid all the way and escaped. This time we got on the master's boat, and we also wanted to hide in the sidelines. Although it was not the intention, the three of us indeed made a fake jade seal and if the young general wants revenge on us, we would accept it."
Seeing Qingyu's questioning look, Zheng Xi immediately approached her to answer the question in her mind, "The King of Chu is the younger brother of the Holy Emperor. The princess he married is the sister of the royal concubine. However, the princess died young and had no children. The Yang family is the most famous loyal family in our Zhou Dynasty. Over there at Heishui Pass, the whole kingdom relied on the guard of the Yang family. The whole Yang family was raided and executed last year, saying that they were collaborating with Taiwan. Who would even believe it?"
"A total of three clans were killed? What about Yang Zhao?" Qingyu asked in a low voice.
Yang Zhao replied on behalf of Zheng Xi, "I am the adopted son of the Yang family. My father was a subordinate of my adoptive father. My real father died in the battle of Heishui Pass ten years ago."
Ding Dong squeezed over and said excitedly, "Is it the killer general with the name of Jade-faced Shura?! General Xiao Yang, is it really you? I heard that you went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen and wiped out three thousand enemies in your first stop. After three years in Heishuiguan, the Liao and Xixia people who were killed were frightened by the news!"
All the sailors crowded over, talking all over the place, "Yes! General Yang, last year I heard that the entire Yang family was beheaded, and you were also implicated. Boss Ding also said that we should find a way to rescue you, but we are in Quanzhou and don't know your whereabouts."
One of Zhao's subordinates answered, "General Yang's parents and children have all been killed in the battle, and those who were executed were actually all the women and children in the family." He then whispered: "At that time, we had just won a great victory at Heishui Pass, but we were called back to Baigou. We were disarmed and detained on the spot without any interrogation, and were sent directly to Quanzhou. At that time, the brothers had just come down from the battlefield, and all of them were injured, and some of them were even seriously injured."
Everyone was silent for a while, and then the sailors began to curse: "I knew that guy named Wang was not a good person!"
Another sailor seconded, "They captured the Guangzhou Shipping Company. We worked so hard to travel to the sea, but most of our money was deducted when we came back. Even the other ships called them vampires."
Another sailor angrily added, "They are treacherous people who harms the country! The Wang family is a traitor!"
Another one muttered, "Everyone who can fight in the Great Zhou Dynasty will either be killed or framed by them. Who will guard the border from now on?!"
Another one calmly added, "Well, to be honest, I don't think a concubine has such courage, right? This kind of thing is probably the intention of the Holy One."
Listening to everyone's angry condemnation of the Wang family, Qingyu said lightly, "As for my sister-in-law, the King of Chu is not stupid enough to listen to her and make a jade seal. Without the approval of the person at the top, how could a prince and a border general be destroyed so quickly? It's a threat to the throne."
Qingyu spoke softly and calmly, but she didn't know how turbulent it was in other people's hearts. She shook her headd and said, "Let's not worry about these things for now. First of all, we have to work together to survive. Since these two are Mr. Zhou and Mr. Huang, who are unparalleled in their craftsmanship, they will definitely be able to repair the ship!"
Huang Jing and Zhou tan responded repeatedly and said, "You don't have to bee to formal towards us. It's all up to the boss. But, the wood here is quite complete. It's just that we don't know where we can get iron nails. "
This is indeed a difficult problem. Qingyu unconsciously tapped his fingers on the ground, and then said: "There should be a way for us to resolve this. For now, let's rest and let's talk about how we can solve this tomorrow."
Although the whole day was spent desperately trying to escape, everyone still listened to Qingyu. They dug out a small piece of dry land from the bushes, ate some coconuts, and then fell asleep.
Patting the hard ground underneath, Qingyu was very satisfied. If it was on the sand, if she overslept again tomorrow, she would be in the sea again. She didn't have a change of clothes now, and she would be so dirty that she would despise herself. She can't just take off her clothes like those men and go straight into the sea to take a bath.
Women are indeed more unlucky. The only thing Qingyu felt relieved about was that before the storm, her menstruation had just passed. Huang Jing and Zhou Tan approached Qingyu, with excitement and hesitation on their faces as the called out, "Boss."
Qingyu hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "What is it? Have you thought of a way?"
After consuming the snake blood and snake elixir, her energy was particularly strong. If it was her body before and she had climbed the mountain for so long and ran back like this, she would have been like a ball of mud.
Huang Jing excitedly shared, "We have calculated that there is good wood everywhere here, and there is no problem in rebuilding the ship. In this way, the original ship can be dismantled and the iron nails on can be used as accessories."
Huang Jing rubbed his hands. He is a very skilled man, and his best skill is carpentry. He used to work in a shipyard in Quanzhou for his skills. This time the three of them fled to Quanzhou and hid in a small shipyard.
Because his hands were itchy, he even went there in disguise. He had worked there for a few days on this ship, and he knew a lot about the production of the Fengshen.
Wu Da was unable to implement some of the ideas put forward by this girl. He actually wanted to try them out but because of his status as a fugitive, he can't volunteer to take the lead. Now there is such an opportunity, and this mountain is full of top-quality wood. It would be a lie to say that he is not excited.
Zhou Tan glared at him and added: "But the place here is too small to build a ship, but the bay over there is big enough. We can build a dock first, and then dismantle the Fengshen and move it there. "
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Qingyu with expectant eyes. It took a while for her to react, pointing to his nose and saying, "You want me to drive away those lizards?"
Both of them nodded, and their eyes became more intense. The leader of the house could even kill such a huge snake king, so what was the big beast? Qingyu was speechless for a while then dismissively replied, "It's getting late. Let's talk tomorrow. Let's rest first."
