After Qingfeng's master and apprentice and Old Man Li boarded the ship, the journey went smoothly without any disturbances or disturbances. \ "Tianshi, I think we are about to arrive at Haicheng," Old Man Li said excitedly to Master Qingfeng and his apprentice.
"This road is indeed very close.
We had a smooth journey.
I don't know what Tian Guang is like over there."
Qingfeng looked at the mainland in the distance and sighed with worry.
"Master, don't worry.
Tian Guang's martial arts is so strong that ordinary people are no match for him."
Xin Yun hurriedly reassured Master Qingfeng.
"My teacher knows about his martial arts skills, but after all, Hou Shengjue's person is in the dark, and he is in the open, and he is still alone, so it is inevitable that people will not worry."
Old Man Li also followed suit.
"The Heavenly Master's worries are not unreasonable.
As the saying goes, a good tiger is no match for a pack of wolves."
"Master, Father Li, you have all thought that when Tian Guang and I fought with the man in black that night, the man in black was so angry that he even used a hidden weapon.
At that time, Tian Guang could not free his hands and feet, and I was far away from him.
There is still a long way to go, I really don’t have the strength to exert all my strength. , just when I was worried about Tian Guang, Tian Guang suddenly became wise, flicked his head, and caught the hidden weapon thrown by the man in black with his mouth.
At that time, I was dumbfounded."
Xin Yun spoke vividly about last night.
The thrilling encounter between myself and Tian Guang.
"Oh, according to that, I did underestimate Tian Guang's martial arts skills, but why didn't you tell me about it after you came back?"
Qingfeng asked.
"Master, I wanted to come back and tell you at that time, but Tian Guang specifically asked my disciple not to mention the thrilling incident tonight in front of you."
"Why is this?"
Old Man Li asked puzzledly.
"Tian Guang said, if I tell the master about tonight's thrilling encounter, after the master listens, if there is any more danger, he will not let me out.
When I heard it, it made sense, and I said nothing about it after I returned.
"Didn't mention it," Xin Yun replied calmly.
"It turns out that Tian Guang really understands me as a teacher," Qingfeng said with emotion.
"Master Tian, anyone who has stayed with you for a few days will be able to appreciate your care and love for my little master," Old Man Li said with a smile.
"Dad Li, you sound like my master dotes on me every day," Xin Yun said with some displeasure.
"Tianshi, look at the little master, he's not happy anymore."
After Old Man Li finished speaking, he and Qingfeng laughed together.
At this moment, the boss of the ship came to report to the three people.
"Guest officers, we can already see the Haicheng Navy station ahead.
In less than half a day, we will be able to enter Haicheng Bay and dock."
"Boss of the ship, what did you say about Haicheng Navy?"
Xin Yun asked curiously.
"Yes, I am talking about the navy of Haicheng."
"Boss of the ship, to tell you the truth, my hometown is not far from Haicheng and is under the jurisdiction of Haicheng, but I have never heard that Haicheng has a navy.
What the hell is going on?"
Li Li, who thought he was the common people under Haicheng's rule The old man was stunned by what the ship boss said.
"This happened not long ago.
Guests often rented my boat to come to this sea city.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know about the navy," the boss of the boat said with emotion.
"It seems that the Commander-in-Chief of Haicheng, Zhang Ruli, is also a Westernization official, otherwise he would not have built his own navy," Qingfeng said calmly.
"Speaking of Zhang Ruli, the governor of Haicheng, he was a well-known official in the dynasty.

Not only was he good to the people under his rule, but he was also very good at using his own strength to make those foreign devils angry and hateful."
"Boss of the ship, where do you start talking about this?"
Qingfeng asked.
"As an official, this governor at least gives justice to the people, unlike ordinary corrupt officials who only bully the people.
Therefore, in Haicheng, those wealthy families do not dare to make mistakes."
"It turns out that in these troubled times, the official rank of Governor Zhang is indeed rare," Qingfeng said with emotion.
"Boss, how did this great governor use his strength to make those foreign devils angry and hateful?"
Xin Yun asked curiously.
"What you don't know is that this sea city is a place where ships from all over the world must pass through.
There are many merchant ships from all over the world that dock in Haicheng.
In order to quickly come up with the money needed to compensate foreigners, the imperial court wants to mortgage the right to tax foreign merchant ships to Mr.
Zhang, a foreigner, wrote several times to dissuade the imperial court, but was rejected.
At this time, a country called De Laixi took a fancy to the good location in Haicheng and wanted to take it for himself."
The ship boss told the story vividly. road.
"Boss of the ship, it should be Germany," Qingfeng asked calmly.
The boat boss replied with a naive smile.
"Your Majesty, you are right that I am a rough man, it is the German one."
"What happened next?"
Xin Yun asked curiously.
"Master Zhang still had a way.
Since he couldn't stop the imperial court from mortgaging the right to collect taxes on foreign merchant ships to foreigners, he simply resorted to a trick.
In order to save Haicheng, he changed the matter of mortgaging the right to collect taxes and signed a contract with the British.
We made an agreement and agreed to hire an Englishman to take charge of this matter," the ship boss continued.
"What happened next?"
Xin Yun asked.
"The Germans saw that the more powerful English were in charge of the expropriation power, so they gave up the idea of monopolizing the sea city," the ship boss said slowly.
"Well, to be honest with you brother, I have been dealing with ships all my life, but my experience in that whole life is not as much as what you have said."
Old Man Li sighed to himself and sighed repeatedly.
The ship boss burst out laughing after hearing what Old Man Li said.
"Brother, please don't say that.
I didn't hear anything outside the window before.
Later, my cousin went to work in the Governor's Mansion in Haicheng.
I often heard him talk about Master Zhang's deeds, so I only listened to a few.
The more I listened, the more interesting it became, and then I asked him to tell me about it.
As time went by, he became a chatterbox.
Today, I saw that all the guests were depressed, so I talked to everyone to relieve their boredom, but when I met others, I still refrained from talking about state affairs. for good" "Boss of the ship, I believe your cousin is also a first-rate talent," Qingfeng said seriously.
"The Heavenly Master has good eyesight.
My cousin has been fond of reading and writing since he was a child.
Later, he was fortunate enough to be selected by the imperial court as a young boy studying abroad.
He just returned to serve in the country," the ship's boss said with pride.
"Oh, big brother, your cousin will be a high official when he returns to China," Old Man Li sighed with envy.
The ship boss shook his head again and said with a wry smile.
"Brother, you are overthinking this.
My cousin has always hated people who live without merit and salary.
As for our relatives, they will not let us take advantage of the official family.

For this reason, my wife even called him ungrateful."
"I can't believe that a gentleman who has drunk foreigners' ink can be so upright," Xin Yun said with emotion.
"It would be great if our people were like this gentleman who returned from studying abroad.
There would be no need to worry about the country's downturn."
Qingfeng said calmly, and the others nodded.
Amid everyone's chatter, the passenger ship continued to approach the seaside of Haicheng:
