Chapter 138 Suspected of Enemy

It happened that after Mr. Chu Cai was rejected for the first time, he did not give up. He also learned about the great battle between Yu Xiaotian and the Spanish. He also heard that the sea wolf had won a great victory and the Spanish plywood ship was destroyed.

The fleet he formed was completely wiped out. This incident really shocked him.

So he believed even more that Sea Wolf was something he couldn't afford to offend. If he wanted to survive at sea in the future, he would have to have a good relationship with Sea Wolf. If he wanted to confront Zheng Yiguan, he would have to obey.

Xiaotian needs support. Cannons are really hard to come by now. The war in Liaodong is getting more and more intense. The imperial court is constantly urging Guangdong and Fujian to transport Hongyi cannons to the north. Now red cannons are being cast all over the land.

Yi cannon, but they couldn't get it at all.

Zheng Yiguan got a lot of Hongyi cannons from the Portuguese, which greatly improved his strength. But he, Chu Cailao, had no place to get such cannons. At the moment, he had no other option but to find a way to buy them from Sea Wolf.

In addition, he also found out that Yu Xiaotian was seriously injured during the battle with the Spanish. During this period, he had been recovering on Nanri Island. This was also an opportunity for Mr. Chu Cai. If at this time, he took the initiative to lower his head like

Yu Xiaotian's show of kindness cannot be said to be a help in times of need, but at least it can be regarded as a friendly gesture.

So he immediately sent his men and prepared a quite generous gift, including Liaodong ginseng and tiger bones, which are now extremely difficult to buy. Since the Jiannu rebellion, these things have been basically out of stock in the pass, and only a few of them are available.

Few people can go underground,

I got some of these things from Liaodong. Nowadays, they are more expensive than gold. In addition to being expensive, they are also priceless. However, Mr. Chu Cai did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and got more than a dozen large ginseng. He also tried every means to get many ginseng on land.

He sent someone to deliver some healing medicine to Yu Xiaotian.

His idea was that if Yu Xiaotian died of his injuries and returned to the west, through such a gesture, he could at least establish a better relationship with Sea Wolf's successor and make up for the conflict between the two parties, so that Yu Xiaotian would not be around in the future.

Xiaotian can still deal with his successor.

But when he sent someone here the second time, Yu Xiaotian's injury had improved greatly and he began to take care of himself.

Hearing that Mr. Chu Cai sent someone again to bring him gifts, Yu Xiaotian laughed and immediately ordered the envoys sent by Mr. Chu Cai to be invited to his front hall.

The person Mr. Chu Cai sent this time was his old camp manager Ma Xiang. This Ma Xiang was his right-hand man and the person he trusted most. He sent Ma Xiang here, which shows how much Mr. Chu Cai paid attention to this matter.

Attention paid.

Yu Xiaotian still remembers Ma Xiang's name because he secretly joked with Lin Yiyang and others about this. In addition, he also met Ma Xiang when he went to Bengang to negotiate with Mr. Chu Cai, so he was very fond of him.

Not unfamiliar.

As soon as Ma Xiang entered Yu Xiaotian's living room, he immediately saluted Xiaotian, and he used the etiquette of a servant meeting a superior. He was very respectful to Xiaotian. Although Yu Xiaotian's face was not good, he had obviously begun to

After recovering, he congratulated Yu Xiaotian repeatedly.

With that said, Ma Xiang took out the gift list from his arms, raised his hands above his head and presented it to Yu Xiaotian. The personal guard took the gift list and sent it to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian glanced at the gift list and smiled secretly in his heart.

This gift is really valuable. Thirteen pieces of Liao ginseng ranging from 4 taels to 8 taels each, a set of tiger bones, two strings of East beads, fifty taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, and two thousand jins of Japanese red copper.

Such a gift can be regarded as a generous gift. If converted into silver, it would be at least about ten thousand taels. It can be seen that Mr. Chu Cai really made a desperate move this time and spent a lot of money.

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chu, for such a generous gift. How can I deserve it if I don't receive any reward for no merit?" Yu Xiaotian smiled and put the gift list on the coffee table at hand and said to Ma Xiang.

"I hope the boss will accept it! This time, our boss heard the news that the boss was injured, and he was very concerned! Our boss has been thinking about it this time.

Although we had some unpleasantness with your department in the past, our boss has always admired you, boss. When people mentioned you many times, they all said that you were a hero at that time and a promising young man!

The reason why we got into such a quarrel was all because of Master Zhou's secret instigation. Our boss originally just asked him to come over and discuss how to reconcile with you, the boss, but that guy opened his mouth to the boss, the lion.

They even threatened you and even tried to blackmail you, the boss!

We only found out about these things after the fact. Later, when the guy couldn't force him to do anything, he became angry and went back to encourage our boss to use force against you, the boss, until the situation got out of hand.

Now our boss has found out that these things were secretly instigated by the guy surnamed Zhou, and he misunderstood the slander and got it to this point.

Therefore, our chief shopkeeper has always felt guilty about this. Hearing that Master Yu was injured this time, he felt even more uneasy. He also wanted to visit you in person, but he was really busy with chores and could not leave, so he sent a small

Come and visit on your behalf.

These small gifts are not respectful, but I hope Master Yu will accept them! In addition, our chief shopkeeper has also prepared another generous gift for Master Yu, please accept it!"

As he spoke, he signaled to the people who followed him to present the gift, so Yu Xiaotian nodded, and the guard went to the door to receive a wooden box and placed it on the ground. Yu Xiaotian nodded and asked the guard to open it.

After the wooden box was opened, everyone took a breath, because a human head was actually placed in the wooden box. The guard was about to scold Ma Xiang, why did he bring such a thing as a gift? Yu Xiao

Tian stretched out his hand to stop the guard. After looking carefully, he found that he knew the owner of the head.

This head was the head of Mr. Zhou who was sent by Mr. Chu Cai to negotiate with him. This time, Mr. Chu Cai actually killed him and sent his head as a gift. It can be seen that Mr. Chu Cai wanted to

Showing kindness to Yu Xiaotian was a huge sacrifice.

Poor Master Zhou, he was really unkind and was chopped up like a worthless dog just for the sake of the great cause of peace talks between Chu Cai Lao and Yu Xiaotian.

Anyway, Mr. Chu Cai has now made it clear that the conflict between him and Sea Wolf was all because of this guy. The shit basin was completely placed on this guy's head. By killing him, he gave Yu Xiaotian an explanation.

Even if Yu Xiaotian doesn't believe it, there is nothing more to say.

After Yu Xiaotian read it, he asked someone to put the box away and find a place to bury it. He had no requirements on whether Master Zhou should be killed or not. He was just a scapegoat, whether he killed him or not.

"That's it! Then I will accept this generous gift! Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chu, for the generous gift! A person like this really deserves to be killed! If it weren't for him, how could the two of us have reached such a quarrel? In this case,

It’s okay to let the past matter go. After all, Shopkeeper Chu and I are business colleagues on this sea. Let’s talk about it and never see each other from now on! It’s better than being hostile to each other!

By the way, when I was seriously injured some time ago, I heard that you came here. At that time, Yu was ill and could not see things, so I was very negligent. I hope you can forgive me! I don’t know how I can help Yu.

It's yours, Brother Ma, please just tell me!" Yu Xiaotian showed a satisfied smile and said to Ma Xiang with a smile.

Ma Xiang was overjoyed when he saw it, and felt that there was a way for things to go wrong today, so he struck while the iron was hot and brought up Chu Cai Lao's request to purchase a batch of artillery from Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian frowned, touched the beard on his chin, thought about it for a while, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and said, "I see! This... I'm afraid it's difficult to handle!"

Ma Xiang quickly said: "Master Yu, this Zheng Yiguan is a man with a huge appetite and a wild mind. He is dealing with us now. Once he has full wings, he may come to deal with Master Yu, and in the near future

I also heard that Zheng Yiguan has already planned to do harm to you, the master, and has repeatedly tried to rob your cargo ship.

Last month, one of our brothers' ship encountered Zheng Yiguan's men on the sea in Zhangzhou, trying to track down a cargo ship belonging to your department. Our brothers immediately came to our aid and drove Zheng Yiguan's men away.

!

Now we can only turn to you, the master, for help. You must know that Zheng Yiguan has a close relationship with the Folangji people in Haojingao. He is currently buying a large number of Hongyi cannons from the Folangji people.

I'm afraid it's not just used against us. Over time, this guy will definitely be detrimental to you, the master, so I hope that the master will not hesitate to sell us some cannons.

We will definitely be grateful. As for the price, it is easy to negotiate. As long as Mr. Yu is willing to sell it, even if it is a little more expensive, we will be grateful!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said: "This Zheng Yiguan is indeed hateful! This man is ruthless and has no morality at all. Yan Siqi is his eldest brother, and this guy wants to put him to death. It can be seen that this man is indeed a

Undoubtedly a scumbag!

In this case, I have to consider this matter carefully. After all, we don't have enough of these cannons, and the quantity you want is quite large. If I want to give it to you, I will discuss it with my brothers before making a decision. As for the price,

It's easy to say, but now the price of refined iron is getting higher and higher.

You also know that Guangdong and Fujian are now casting a lot of Hongyi cannons. The court is currently very nervous about the war in Liaodong, including the She'an Rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, which also requires a lot of cannons, so that the price of iron is soaring.

In addition, casting cannons is cumbersome. If you fire three cannons, it will be good if you can finally make one. Moreover, you need to cast the cannon well and refining the purchased iron before it can be used. The loss is also very large! The price..."

As soon as Ma Xiang heard Yu Xiaotian's words, he already relaxed about selling the cannon to them. This mainly meant that the price might be relatively high. He knew that Yu Xiaotian was raising the price from the ground up, but at this time he had already taken care of it.

It’s not about the price, the key is that now this thing has a price but no market, even if you have money, you can’t buy it!

So the price is not an issue they have to consider now. The key is to buy it first. Anyway, the only one who can sell them cannons now is Yu Xiaotian. It is normal for people to raise the price, not to mention that they used to

After fighting a big war, now I can sell them cannons. Even if the price is higher, it is considered as giving them face.

"The price is easy to say, we all know these things! As long as Master Yu agrees to sell us some cannons, it is natural that the price will be higher!" Ma Xiang said quickly.

"Okay! In that case, I'll discuss it with my brothers first and see how many cannons I can squeeze out for you!..."
