Daming Junior Scholar

Just when the old lady was worried, a cloak was suddenly put on her body, and then Xu Cheng's voice came from behind: "Mother has been here for a long time, be careful of catching a cold."

"I'm fine." Old Madam Xu didn't turn her head, she just said something lightly, and then sighed softly: "Your third brother has been away for three days, and he should be back." "Mother, don't worry, The third brother has always been brave, and has experienced so many storms and waves, it is just a small island occupied by Japanese pirates, I can't help him, I guess it must be because there are too many things to move, so the time is delayed." Xu Xu Cheng face

On the other hand, there was a natural smile all the time, and he didn't seem to worry about his third brother at all.

"I hope." Mrs. Xu replied softly. After the atmosphere became cold for a while, Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Cheng'er."

"Mother." "I know, there is a grudge between you and the third child, but it was a long time ago, and I am too old now, so I can't take care of so much, if..." After a pause, Mrs. Xu Jun finally turned his head, looked at Xu Cheng with a blank face, and felt

Sighing, he continued: "If you still can't let go of that matter, when the third child comes back, I will make the decision and divide the family."

"Separation?" Xu Cheng never expected that he could hear such news from his mother, and he couldn't digest it for a while, so he was stunned. "Yes, it's the division of the family." The old lady Xu said firmly: "The prosperity must decline. Now the scenery is beautiful, but the tree is full of wind. Who knows how many people are thinking about the property of the Xu family. After you break up with the third child, let the third child continue to operate the route to Japan. You take your family to Jiangnan, Do some small business first, take root and then

explain. "The expression on Xu Cheng's face suddenly became even more ugly. Although there were such rumors before, I always thought that the old lady would not be so cruel. Although it is easy to say, but if you think about it carefully, it is clear. that is

Have you driven your own lineage out of Xujiabao?

"Mother, I think this matter should be considered in the long-term. The business in Japan is not very easy now, and the third brother may not be able to handle it alone." Xu Cheng is still making the last sliver of effort.Mrs. Xu stared at him for a while, finally nodded and said: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, but you still have to remember what I said first, and send people to Jiangnan in the past few days Make a stop and see where it lands

, It is also good to set up some land first. "In name, I let myself stay first, but I still wanted to drive myself out of this house, the expression on Xu Cheng's face seemed to be frozen, but his heart gradually became cold. Since you are ruthless, then don't blame me for not

righteous.

Originally, Xu Cheng still felt that he was a little sorry for the Xu family, the old lady, and even his third brother, so he felt much better in his heart.

On the high platform of the Xu family, the mother and son just stood together, staring at the sea in the distance, without saying a word.

After standing for a long time, Xu Cheng's body felt a little cold, and when he was about to tell the old matriarch that he would go down first, he suddenly saw the expression on the old matriarch's face suddenly became agitated, and raised his finger to the distance and said: "Look, San'er is back."

The third child is back?

Xu Cheng quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the old matriarch's finger. The figure of the sail had already appeared on the horizon in the distance, and he didn't know how the old matriarch knew that this was the boat brought by the third child.

"Mother, don't worry, this may not be the third brother's boat." Xu Cheng was afraid that the old lady would be too excited, so he comforted him softly.

"Why not, it's the third brother's boat." The old lady said firmly, and then said, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go to the pier to pick up your third brother." Xu Cheng's heart became colder and colder, it seemed No matter what you do or how you do it, your status in the Xu family will never be as good as that of the third child. Even if you are now the nominal head of the Xu family, you will end up leaving in a miserable situation.

field.

If you don't want this to happen, then you really should take action.

Xu Cheng just nodded, agreed and went down, but the old matriarch still stayed on the high platform, watching the gradually revealed hull of the ship in the distance, a knowing smile slowly appeared on his face.

The expedition fleet finally returned.Not long after, the news swept across the whole Xujiabao like the wind, but all those who had relatives at home had flocked to the pier of Xujiabao. big ship, people started

They discussed loudly, looking forward to what kind of surprise the invincible Third Master of the Xu family would bring to everyone this time.The big ship was getting closer and closer to the pier, but at this time, a sharp-eyed person noticed that the ship seemed to be a little different from before. The ship was still the same ship, and the sails were the same, but there was no one on the ship. I can't hear the general

Where did this man go to the impassioned drumming sound when he returned?Mrs. Xu standing on the high platform finally realized that something was wrong. According to the usual practice, every time the third child enters the port, everyone on the ship will stand on the deck to welcome the cheers of the crowd on the shore. Why didn't this time

There were cheers, but there was no one in sight.

Could it be that this battle...can you lose?

A bad idea suddenly popped up in Mrs. Xu's mind, and her hands and feet immediately turned cold. She didn't want to wait any longer, and suddenly said: "Prepare people, go to the pier to pick up the third master."

"Yes." The shadow-like person not far behind clasped his fists, turned around and left quickly. After a while, he saw a group of people and horses driving out from under the high platform, heading towards the pier like flying.No matter how slow the boat is, there are times when the four big ships approach the pier slowly, but there is a strange silence from the crowded crowd at the pier. Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that the third master can give them an unexpected surprise,

At this moment, a dull drum sound suddenly sounded from the leading ship, and then the last three ships also echoed the same sound.While everyone was still in a daze, many figures appeared on several ships at the same time. When people saw those people with weird hairstyles, loose robes, and long Japanese swords in their hands, the crowd was shocked. There was an uproar immediately, and then the dense crowd quickly retreated, shouting while running: "The Japanese pirates are coming."

Chapter 305 Two Allied Forces

Many people are very curious about how Xujiabao, which used to be a small fishing village, got its start.

He Jiaan vaguely guessed something, but didn't say it out loud. If he was standing next to Xu Dong, the third master of the Xu family, he would know that his guess was completely correct.

What the Xu family does is beheading business and smuggling.The time when the Xu family had just made a fortune was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty’s implementation of the sea ban policy. Even small sampans were not allowed to enter the sea along the coast. Apart from the raging pirates and Japanese pirates on the sea, the most frightening thing was the Ming Dynasty. towards the water

Division, no matter where the ship is, as long as it catches up, it will be fired, and few ships can escape under such circumstances.

If they could have something to eat, who would be willing to engage in this decapitation business.

The head of the Xu family at that time was also helpless, so after discussing with the brothers in the village, he decided to take a risk. Anyway, he would die, and the worst would be to change the way of death.Needless to say, no matter how tight the Daming Navy's blockade is, there will always be loopholes. When the Xu family's ship docked at the seaside of Japan, all the supplies on board were sold out in an instant. The cylinders were also bought at high prices, this time

The people in Xujiabao tasted the sweetness and began to continuously collect various materials from the Ming Dynasty, and then smuggled them to Japan for sale.Just like this, within a few years, the Xu family castle has changed its appearance, and life is easier with money, and in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from discovering, the Xu family led the sea water to the foot of the mountain, where Hidden places built

At the pier, a bigger boat was repaired, and in this way, the Xu family gradually developed.But up to now, the Xu family has already existed like a giant with dozens of large ships, and smuggling naturally cannot satisfy their appetite. If they encounter a fleet that is not as powerful as their own at sea, then the Xu family does not mind acting as a handful of pirates

, directly snatched the things on the opponent's ship, and regarded it as his own spoils.In this generation of the Xu family, there are only three males left, the eldest, Xu Cheng, who is the current head of the Xu family, the second, Xu Ying, who died early for some reason, and the third, Xu Dong, who is the current head of the Xu family. The commander of the fleet, everyone praised Xu

The third master of the family.Some people say that Xu Cheng's fate is good only because he sat on the position of the patriarch after being born for a few years. If it is based on ability, the patriarch of the Xu family should belong to the third master Xu Dong. The business route leading to other cities in Japan It was Mr. Xu who got through.

The nearby pirates were also destroyed by Mr. Xu. Even when communicating with the Daming Navy, Mr. Xu came forward. Where is the Patriarch of the Xu family at this time?When the rumors spread for a long time, they would be misunderstood as true. Gradually, Xu Dong became dissatisfied with his status in the Xu family, and taking advantage of the old lady's love for him, he began to disregard Xu Cheng. started talking back to him

.And this time, the reason why Xu Dong set off so happily was because of what the old matriarch said to him. As long as he wins this battle, he will have an excuse to drive Xu Cheng out of the Xu family. Cheng rushed to Jiangnan, this Xu

Home is your Xu Dong's home.

It was really cheap for him to drive him to Jiangnan.Although Xu Dong was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, he could accept such a result. When he turned his eyes, Xu Dong turned to Pi Ang who was standing not far from him. Ang found out, but the number of people coming out of Erdaogou is really too small, only more than 50 people, not even half of his own, Xu Dong felt a little upset when he thought about sharing the spoils with them, Looking at Pion's eyes can't help revealing

A glimmer of evil.

At this moment, Xu Dong suddenly asked, "Uncle Pi, how far is it from the pirate island?"

Pi Ang, who was called, quickly looked at the nearby reference objects, estimated, and said, "It should be here soon." Xu Dong naturally has his own way of surviving in this sea full of pirates, Japanese pirates, and officers and soldiers. It is true that I have rarely been here before, but I did not expect to be occupied by Japanese pirates. Seeing that it is not far from the island of Japanese pirates, it may be easy

They will run into Japanese pirates. Thinking of this, Xu Dong waved his hand and ordered: "Tell everyone to get ready."

The order was passed down layer by layer, and the four large ships were ready for battle immediately, but the expected Japanese pirate ship did not arrive, but Pi Ang suddenly pointed forward and said excitedly: "Third Master, we are here!" "Xu Dong raised his head and looked in the direction of Pi Ang's finger. Sure enough, a huge shadow slowly rose on the horizon. Based on his many years of experience at sea, Xu Dong knew that this island must not be Will go there small, Napion

It's not a lie, this island may really be where the Japanese pirates are hiding.

Xu Dong's boat was big, and without a wharf, he couldn't just lean on it like this. There were nearly [-] soldiers on board the four boats. If he wanted to transport these people to the shore, he could only use small sampans.Seeing that the island was continuously enlarged in front of his eyes, when there were only a few hundred steps left, Xu Dong stretched out his hand, and the four large ships slowly stopped, and the sampans were put down one by one. Turning his head, he smiled at Pion Pi without a smile

Said calmly: "Uncle Pi, those of me who are not familiar with the place may not be able to find the way to the pirates' lair, so I ask you to fight this first." At this time, Xu Dong was playing tricks on himself, but fortunately, he was prepared, so he was naturally not afraid. Instead, he patted himself on the chest and said openly, "Don't worry, third master!"

, Leave this matter to me, and we Erdaogou people will fight the first battle. "

After finishing speaking, he began to greet his subordinates. More than 50 people quickly got on the sampan and rowed towards the shore.Needless to say, seeing that Pi Ang and his men swam ashore without any traces of Japanese pirates, Xu Dong finally heaved a sigh of relief. Not long after, everyone including Xu Dong

Finally got to the shore.

After landing on the shore, Xu Dong was no longer that gentle and elegant coach. He finally showed his ferocious minions, pulled out his waist knife, then glanced at Pi Ang, and said the same words: "Uncle Pi, please lead the way." What Leading the way, it's almost the same as sending him to death. Pi Ang despised Xu Dong more and more in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more flattering. He nodded and said, "It's good for the third master to keep a certain distance from us, don't leave me." too far, wait until

When we fight the Japanese pirates, we will come up to support immediately. "

Xu Dong nodded, but he was thinking in his heart whether the timing of this support should be sooner or later, whether he should use the hands of the Japanese pirates to get rid of all the Pi family members.

While Xu Dong was thinking, Pi Ang led his people to set off first, and after a distance of more than 50 steps, Xu Dong led his people to follow closely behind.A group of people marched forward silently, but just after turning a corner, Pi Ang in front suddenly shouted: "There are people ahead, follow me to kill."
