Chapter 22 The Mizi Flag on the Yangtze River

"Who?" Yan Guang, who was lying down, asked.

"I don't know..." The bodyguard outside the door hesitated for a moment. "But he said you know him!"

"Who will it be?" Yan Guang was a little confused. There were many people who came to him these days, so I won't talk about the people sent by Shanghai Dao to ask. Richard, Charlie, Jardine Mahjong Company, and the people from the British Consulate in Shanghai, but the most were reporters from major newspapers.

These reporters are simply omnipresent. Although Yan Guang has issued an interview fee of 100 silver dollars, he still cannot stop these enthusiastic reporters in the face of news that caused a sensation across the country.

However, Yan Guang quickly thought of Wang Er, because after returning to China, he knew quite a few people, and the only people who could be called Zhang Xingfeng, who returned to his hometown, Zhou Zining, who lived in Sichuan, and three others...

"Let him come in!" Thinking of Wang Er, Yan Guang hurriedly shouted out.

"knew."

After a while, the door was opened, and it was Wang Er who walked in.

No wonder the two bodyguards outside the door didn't know him. At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high on the ship, and the lights in the cabin were very dim. They couldn't see Wang Er's appearance at all. When Yan Guang chased after him, they rescued the locked passengers and sailors from behind. So the only ones who knew Wang Er's true identity were Yan Guang and the two accountants.

Now that they are no longer on the robbed river, the two accountants naturally work their own business and run back and forth at Jardinet Foreign Company and the Wharf. Only these two bodyguards are still guarding Yan Guang's side.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Seeing Wang Er walk in, Yan Guang jumped out of the bed.

Wang Er first looked at Yan Guang for a while, and after a while, he spoke. "I don't know where I should go after I go back. Finally, I thought about how many days it took to decide to come here to find you..." Wang Er hesitated for a moment when he said this. "Are you really afraid that I will shoot you by the black gun and avenge your brothers?"

"Don't worry, I can trust your character. If you want to seek revenge on me, you will definitely come to me in person, not from behind!" Yan Guang smiled and patted Wang Er's shoulder. From the time he was on the Jiang Lun, he could have seen that this was a person with principles and bottom line. Generally, as long as the bottom line is not too low, even a bad person will not be too bad.

Of course, over time, a person's principles and bottom line will also change, but Yan Guang believes that even if many people want to kill themselves at that time, there will be fewer people who dare to attack than Bai Jitong.

After hearing Yan Guang's words, Wang Er just shook his head and smiled bitterly. Sometimes he really wanted to continue to be an ordinary hunter, so that he would not need to experience unpleasant things.

But at this time, Yan Guang came up and smiled mysteriously at Wang Er.

"Do you think I look like the kind of person who can change the fate of China as a whole?"

"…..." Wang Er just looked at him with a look of looking at a mentally ill patient.

"...Okay, I know your answer..."

――――――――――

When Yan Guang handed over the last shell gun he used to make three-gun shrimp to Wang Er for use, Wang Er became Yan Guang's first personal bodyguard and the first real confidant.

At this time, no one knew that the person who appeared behind Yan Guang was one of the masterminds of the Jianglun kidnapping case that caused a sensation across the country. Even the main victim Richard didn't know that, only Yan Guang's two accountants and...

The young woman on the river ship?

However, since Jiang Lun parted, Yan Guang has never seen this woman again, so he didn't take it seriously.

It was those two accountants who almost sat on the ground in fright when they saw Wang Er appearing next to Yan Guang. They were worried that Wang Ershui Bandit would be discovered all day long, and they waited until Yan Guang and the others had already returned to Sichuan on the freighter.

With the arrival of Wang Er, Yan Guang's last thing in Shanghai was completed, so there was naturally no reason to stay in Shanghai. Although Yan Guang wanted to give up some technical workers in Shanghai before leaving, considering the majesty in front of his subordinates, Yan Guang finally chose to give up. Of course, having a thief heart but not a thief courage is also one of the main reasons.

Since he was returning to Sichuan with the machine, Yan Guang did not take a passenger ship this time, but chose to go back with the freighter. When all the machines were loaded on the freighter, Yan Guang and Wang Er and others also came to the boarding entrance to prepare to say goodbye to the people who came to see them off.

"Yan, don't forget to come to me for tea next time when you come to Shanghai..." Richard patted Yan Guang's shoulder. Charlie on the side was not very familiar with Yan Guang, so he just smiled from the side.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come to find you." After hammering Richard, Yan Guang also laughed. "So goodbye, everyone." He said and bowed his hand to them.

After boarding the ship, Yan Guang kept waving at the people on the dock, and waited until the whistle sounded and the ship left the dock before stopping.

"Huh..." After wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yan Guang turned his head and asked Wang Er. "Can you play mahjong?"

“…”

Although I was riding on a cargo ship this time, there were still cabins for guests, and it was much better than the six-person cabins of the Yichang ship that I took when I came, so Yan Guang and the others were quite comfortable.

but…

"British..." Yan Guang's heart was a little complicated when he looked at the British gunboats passing by the freighter.

The Jianghunting case that occurred in Hekou Town and Fuchi Town for a generation shocked the entire Yangtze River Basin. Neither the Qing government nor the British expected that such a thing would happen to the Yangtze River, which was originally considered to be very safe.

So while pursuing the case, the Qing government and the British also began to conduct a dragnet-style search in the Yangtze River, and decided to remove all the fish that they didn't take seriously. So the bandits who just made a living by robbing fishing boats and small merchant ships were completely implicated by Ruan Qi.

The British gunboats that had just passed by were sent by the British. This time, the British gunboats will patrol the first half of the Yangtze River, and the second half will be the responsibility of the Qing government...

It is a shame to keep the warships of other countries unobstructed in the rivers of their own countries. Now they still have to let the warships of other countries suppress the bandits...

"Yan, are you okay?" The first mate on the freighter saw Yan Guang's face look a little ugly, and hurriedly walked up to ask.

Many of the captains, first mates and other sailors of this cargo ship knew Richard, so they were very gentle to Yan Guang.

"It's okay..." Yan Guang shook his head.

"Don't worry, the British Empire has sent warships to patrol the Yangtze River. This voyage will definitely be very safe." As he said that, the first mate pointed to the gunboat that had just passed by.

"Is that true..." Yan Guang grinned and smiled reluctantly.

Then the first mate patted Yan Guang on the shoulder and continued his work, leaving only Yan Guang and a few others standing on the deck.

"Boss, are you okay?" After the first mate left, several other people surrounded him.

"It's okay." Yan Guang shook his head, only looking at the British gunboat with the rice flag flying.
