Chapter 165

Qiu Shengong, who had just been promoted to the left wing of the left wing of the war barracks, took his brothers to Phoenix Wharf to receive goods early in the morning. According to the letter sent by Song Wen of Dengzhou yesterday, the thousand sets of equipment purchased by Shamen Town will be delivered to Shamen Island early in the morning. However, he waited until noon until noon, and did not wait for the cargo ship from Dengzhou at all.

Qiu Shengong personally took a group of people into the boat and rowed a speedboat to greet him, but he still didn't see the ship with the red carp flag in the letter in Dengzhou. He personally went to Dengzhou wharf, and the dock answered that there was such a boat, but it had already gone out to sea early in the morning. He went to the governor's mansion to ask for Song Wen, and Song Wen also answered the same.

When he was in a bad mood, Qiu Shengong returned to Shamen Town and brought back a puzzled news to Li Jing. "From the inquiry, the boat carried our weapons and did leave Dengzhou Pier early in the morning. Many fishing in the coastal areas confirmed that they saw the boat and the direction they were traveling was not wrong, and they were coming to us." He said, "But after not far from Dengzhou Water City, it seemed that they suddenly lost their trace. After that, they never saw the boat again."

"Did Wang Jin intercept that ship and snatch our goods?" Wang Chong asked.

"Or it would be the inlet on the boat that pulled our goods away!" Lin Wu said, "But I think since the boat is Song Wen's, the inlet on the boat is also his inlet. Then it is unlikely that they would be fleeing with the goods." He looked at Li Jing, who had been sitting in the upper head and had not spoken, waiting for his judgment.

Li Jing also frowned. When he was still poor, he spent a huge sum of 50,000 guan to buy the goods. For this reason, he also borrowed 50,000 guan from the Xiao family, and he would repay 100,000 guan in three years. In addition to these, he also agreed to accept ten Xiao family's children into the Shamen Town army. Just yesterday, the ten children of the Xiao family had already landed on the island. Not only ten outstanding Xiao family members selected by Jing, they brought a team of generals to each of them. In addition, the maids and guards who came with him who came to serve the Han Xiao family, more than a thousand people came. The Han family's fleet consisted of ten ships, and the fleet also came with a large amount of food and even luxurious living equipment.

The scene made many people on the island stunned. Even if Li Jing had known that the Xiao family's money was not that easy to borrow, he would be amazed when he saw this result. The Xiao family did not send their children to train. Those who didn't know that they thought they were going to become guests and wanted to seize his army and territory.

Li Jing could see that although the guards of these Xiao family members were mostly young people of about twenty years old, they were all strong and had good martial arts foundations. What made Li Jing even more worried was that the servants in the Xiao family members' team of Xiao family members were all tough traits who had experienced life and death. They had sharp eyes and steady bodies. When they stood there, a natural bloody smell surged out of their bodies. These were all tough traits, probably all of them were selected from the army and caravans.

The official troop of Shamen Town is only 300, and the ten children of Xiao family brought nearly 600 family members. If Li Jing had not tried his best to expand his squad several times, he might not have been as good as the ones of these Xiao family members. The Xiao family's ambition for Shamen Town is obvious. Even if they may not have the ambition to seize power and islands now, they have the idea of ​​inserting them.

Li Jing originally planned to be tougher and only left the ten Xiao family's children, but their servants were sent back. However, Xiao Laofu went to find him on his own initiative. He first told him that the children of Xiao family were all playboys, who liked pomp and other scenes. Then the topic changed and suggested that the island was not safe. Pirates came soon, and Shamen Town was almost out of protection. So he asked Li Jing to let them keep their servants' teams.

Of course, as compensation, the Xiao family was willing to waive Li Jing's debt. In addition, they were willing to provide Li Jing with a loan of 200,000 yuan, which was also three years of loan, but the principal and interest were returned to 500,000 yuan after maturity. She also specifically stated that in Shamen Town, everything will be done in accordance with the military rules of the army. In addition, their equipment is responsible for themselves, and their food and salary are also responsible for themselves. Even the pension allowances for deaths and injuries and even the rewards for combat are not required to be responsible for Shamen Town.

Xiao Fu was talking and revealed that the Xiao family just wanted to borrow Li Jing's territory, and Li Jing helped to train a good guard team to hone the meaning of the younger generation of the family. This proposal made Li Jing a little moved. Now he was short of money and was also lacking in. Faced with the siege of Feng Zhang and Wang Jin, the new city had not been repaired yet, he always felt insecure.

The Xiao family is the largest gentry in Jiangnan. When they cooperate with them, they inevitably have the intention of seeking skin from tigers and taking millet from fire. The money of the Xiao family is difficult to get, but after thinking several times, Li Jing still agreed to Xiao’s proposal to enter. Everything was just because Li Jing now has 4,000 entry horses in his hands. With this new army in his hands, Li Jing didn’t believe that on this small island, the few hundred entry money from the Xiao family could make flowers.

The Xiao family's horse entered the island, but Xiao had no intention of leaving. There were thousands of numbers on the island, and Li Jing was more and more hoping that his troops would be completed soon. However, at this time, a thousand sets of equipment disappeared.

For a moment, Li Jing also wondered in his heart whether this batch of weapons was caused by Song Wen and did not want to give them to him. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Song Wen did this. Compared with Song Wen's suspicion, Wang Jin was obviously more suspicious. The ship disappeared within Wang Jin's sphere of influence, and everyone knew the relationship between him and Wang Jin. Although the two had just reached a non-aggression agreement. However, it was just a few verbal agreements, and there was no evidence in black and white.

"General, don't think too much. This must be a good thing for Wang Jinqian. Let's go all in one horse and go into Dengzhou Water City. Qian Qian chopped Wang Jin with one knife, and it was all over." Li Shugen, the head of the right wing of the war barracks, shouted, almost carrying the knife and leaving.

"Don't be impulsive!" Li Jing stopped Li Shugen. This matter seemed very obvious on the surface, and everything pointed to Wang Jin. But the more this happened, the more Li Jing felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Wang Jin had just reached an agreement with him, and it could be regarded as a compromise with him. Now that even half a month has not passed, how could Wang Jin suddenly do such a move? Even if he really did it, why did he do it so obviously?

"Whoever benefits will be suspicious!" Li Jing gently tapped the table, "You said, if these weapons are robbed and develop according to the situation, who will benefit the most?"

Zhang Hong stroked the goatee's beard and gripped the teeth with a heartache. A thousand sets of weapons that had already paid a huge sum of money disappeared, just like his daughter was abducted and ran away. "According to the current situation, if we determine that Wang Jin was intercepting our weapons according to the existing suspicion, then we can't react to two, either we will have a quarrel with Wang Jin and rise with Wang Jin. Or we will endure it for a while, but find another opportunity to retaliate, to fight for tooth and blood for blood. But no matter what kind of reaction, even if the non-aggression agreement we have reached with Wang Jin now is broken, our two families will have to fall into open and secret battles, and will never stop."

"Who benefits from Wang Jin and we are forever?"

"Song Wen!" Wang Chong said.

"Feng Zhang!" Lin Wei also expressed his own views.

Li Jing suddenly remembered Li Shi. Since Gongsun Lan suspected that Li Shi was an ambitious guy, would this matter be his? He robbed these weapons and kept him for the future to be rebelled, and could also make his relationship with Wang Jin tense again, or even fight directly. If he fought with Wang Jin, then this move might even trigger the overall situation and eventually drag Song Wei and Wang Jingwu into muddy waters. In this way, can Li Shi break the situation in Ziqing Town and make profits in chaos?

Song Wen, Feng Zhang, and Li Feng were suspected of joining three times, but it seemed impossible to join three times. Li Jing was confused for a moment.

However, the more this happens, the more Li Jing smells a scent of a yin plot. Intuition tells him that there seems to be a hole in front of him that has been dug and is waiting for him to jump down. He is trying his best to restrain himself, not to be confused, not to be confused. Once he is confused, he may really be hit by the enemy's yin plot.

What should you do? Make a decision before you act.

Li Jing's heart suddenly lit up. The situation was not clear and he still stopped moving. What he needed most now was to figure out the situation, find out who intercepted his goods, take them back first, and then try to deal with the enemy in secret.

"Zi Jun, Xuan Cheng." Li Jing called the two generals of the reconnaissance capital, "You can immediately send your hands and secretly go to Da Xie Fort, Dengzhou Water City and Dengzhou City to find out the news, and find a way to find out where the missing cargo ship is and where our cargo is!"

"Yes." Two people heard the order loudly.

Wang Chong asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Wait!" Li Jing spitted out a word, "Without my order, no entry is allowed to move. Everyone goes back and hurry up and trains the troops. The situation is getting more and more uneasy. We can only stand firm if we train a jing army at the same time!"

After the meeting, the generals dispersed. After Li Jing and the generals left, they returned to the house and changed into a regular silk gown, wore a hard-footed head, walked to the back, and called Wang Shi, "Go and ask a few brothers to change into ordinary clothes, let's go to Phoenix Street."
