Chapter 130 [Coincidence]

These sailors predicted the weather at sea by observing the brightness of the stars and the moon and the distribution of clouds. When he got up at five o'clock in the morning, he saw that the stars and the moon were bright and there were no clouds in the sky, which confirmed that it was safe to sail.

However, the weather at sea is not absolute. Is it really reliable to follow what this girl said?

Wen Kang hesitated. "If we return now, what if we delay the He family's delivery?"

The He family, a family of merchants, engaged in overseas trade. They had their own people in small countries such as the South China Sea, who were similar to dealers. They would sell the porcelain, silk, tea and other goods they brought to local nobles and slave owners.

Many Ya people are very smart and will not serve only one company. They have supplies from several companies and will help sell the goods to whichever company's merchant ship arrives first.

Some people are more trustworthy and will sign contracts with merchants, but if the merchants fail to deliver the goods within the initially agreed period, they will have to pay a penalty.

"What if we delay the He family's delivery and the He family blames us and refuses to cooperate with our merchant ship? Our fleet will have to find a new job."

Jiang Lili was very dissatisfied with the fact that these people first went to the head of the Wen family to discuss matters.

She remembered what Wen Qiao had told her, that it would be difficult to handle the matter due to her relationship with the eldest son of the Wen family.

Wen Qiao's eyes were stern at this moment, and he said nothing, as if he was making some decision.

Jiang Lili knew that Wen Qiao was concerned about this kinship. After all, Wen Qiao had not seen his family for two years and attached great importance to his family. Moreover, this uncle and aunt were relatives of the original owner, so Wen Qiao was restrained in doing things.

"There's no perfect solution within a limited timeframe. Just follow your path and direction, and don't hesitate."

After hearing what Jiang Lili said, Wen Qiao suddenly realized that what she should consider was the lives and cargo of everyone on the ship.

My personality is not smooth, so if I offend people, then I offend them. As long as I am better than them, they just have to bear with it.

Thinking of this, Wen Qiao suddenly understood. She frowned and looked at Wen Kang and the others with cold eyes: "What I just said about changing the route is an order, not a discussion. Do you understand?"

"I am the fire captain of the Tianxuan, and I am the shipowner who pays you."

Jiang Lili felt that the school bully she was familiar with was back!

The ruthless Wen Qiao's aura was fully displayed, and the boatmen who were originally discussing fell silent.

"Helmsman, change course. Don't make me say it again."

"yes!"

The helmsman's mouth reacted faster than his brain.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, and everyone was afraid to breathe.

Wen Kang felt humiliated when he saw that Wen Qiao completely ignored his thoughts. "Wen Qiao, do you still have eyes for me, your uncle?"

Wen Qiao stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at him coldly: "I call you uncle to give you respect. If you don't even want this respect, then get off the boat as soon as possible."

When Wen Kang saw Wen Qiao like this, he was speechless and the fear of being dominated filled his whole body.

Jiang Lili tossed the golden peony seal in her hand and said, "If a ship is steered by two people trying to go in different directions, it will capsize sooner or later."

"This is not what the He family wants."

"Besides, you're not even qualified to steer the ship, boatman. This boat belongs to her."

At this time, two eagle cries were heard in the sky. Liefeng and Shuoyue returned to the deck and landed beside Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao respectively, as if they were there to support the group.

At this time, everyone on the ship clearly realized who was the person with the most say on the ship.

Wen Xiaomei's eyes turned into stars when she saw her sister like this. Her sister was too cool. She had been unhappy with her uncle for a long time. Relying on her seniority in the fleet, she always wanted to oppose her sister, as if to show her status as an elder and senior. In fact, she was just a chattering paper tiger.

Su Sanniang also heard the noise on the deck. She looked at Wen Qiao's tall and resolute back, feeling mixed emotions. She reflected on whether she had been too tolerant and caring towards her brother and sister-in-law due to the secular ethics, so that they bullied her daughter and caused her to suffer.

In the end, what is the point of respecting the reputation of my brother and sister-in-law?

Thinking of this, Su Sanniang came over and took Wen Qiao's hand, "My daughter is the owner of this Tianxuan! I have an impatient temper. From now on, if anyone dares to disobey Wen Qiao's orders, or is so blind as to recognize the wrong master, don't blame me for recklessly throwing them into the sea to feed the fish!"

Su Sanniang's personality was such that she would really do such a thing, and everyone became more and more wary of her.

Wen Kang was a little panicked when he saw that the mother and daughter no longer gave him face. He acted as if he didn't want to care about it and retreated to the side to sulk: "Okay, okay, you are the ship owner and you are awesome. If the ship is delayed, it won't be my business as an anchorman."

Liefeng found a small island suitable for docking and flew in front of the Tianxuan to lead the direction.

After sailing for about half an hour, a lonely island less than half an acre appeared in front of everyone. It was bare, with no vegetation covering its surface. The exposed rocks and soil glowed faintly under the sunlight.

Wen Qiao instructed the boatman: "First, move the valuable porcelain off the boat."

If there is a strong wind and waves at sea and the ship is shaken violently, these large pieces of porcelain will probably be damaged.

This time everyone was obedient and worked seriously, and they were obviously honest.

Jiang Lili came down from the boat carrying a dragon claw bow on her back. She asked Xiaopang to help her purchase weapons available on the market. The dragon claw bow for hunting was the highlight of the bunch. The bow and arrows were made of alloy willow leaf heads and were extremely lethal.

At the same time, the price of such a bow is not cheap, 1,500 yuan per bow, and the arrows are not included. There is also the Zhuge Crossbow, which is much cheaper. Although its lethality is not as good as the Dragon Claw Bow, it is faster and can fire continuously.

Jiang Lili and Xin Che were familiar with these weapons, while Xin Cheng took Xin Yan to modify the old bows and crossbows. Jiang Lili gave him a toolbox with very complete items in it. He wanted to keep it as a gift when he was not using it.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness and saltiness.

Just when everyone was busy, the sky changed drastically. The sky, which was cloudless just now, became gloomy in the blink of an eye. Dark clouds gathered quickly, and heavy rain came unexpectedly. The sea became turbulent and began to surge.

"The storm is really coming!"

Looking in the direction someone was traveling, there was a thick cumulus cloud, lightning and thunder, and the surging waves were terrifying even from a distance.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wen Qiao with mixed feelings!

This time, Wen Qiao is really amazing!

The porcelain boxes had been covered with oilcloth for waterproofing, and everyone ran onto the boat one after another. It was very easy to catch a cold in such wet weather.

About three quarters of an hour later, Wen Qiao's telescope suddenly observed a three-masted sailing ship approaching the Tianxuan!
