440 Sun Sicheng scolds He Jin with a dark face
Sun Sicheng's boat finally arrived next to Ping An.
Ping An suddenly jumped up and stood steadily in front of the master.
"You stupid kid, why are you jumping so far? This is the sea."
Before Sun Sicheng finished speaking, Ping An put his arm around his shoulders and looked at him with a smile: "Master, I want to talk to you."
Sun Sicheng sighed and touched his forehead, fortunately it was not hot.
Ping An turned to Wang Tao and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
"It's alright. You and your master can go into the cabin and rest. You can stay at the market inn today. We will return to the barracks early tomorrow morning."
Ping An looked at his master's dark circles under his eyes and exhausted face, and hurriedly helped him into the cabin.
There was a simple couch in the cabin, and Ping An helped the master sit down.
"What's going on?"
Ping An repeated exactly what he had said to He Jin.
Sun Sicheng was silent for a long time.
According to Ping An, if he had not prepared the antidote and taken it secretly at the first opportunity, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Once you arrive at a remote isolated island, no matter how capable you are, how can you escape with three people who have no martial arts skills?
When you get there, if you really don't obey and are afraid for your life, you just throw it into the sea and your life will be over.
What’s more, there is a seam on the boat. Fortunately, it is on the hull. What would happen if it was on the bottom?
"You said you were lucky to meet a foreigner this morning, otherwise you would have almost gone the wrong way?"
Ping An nodded, “Yes, they just came down from the drum and gong bend and said that the direction I was going was wrong.
Master, the boat was blown away by the sea wind in the middle of the night. Otherwise, it would only take half a day to reach the inn, but the boat drifted a lot further. When we woke up, the sea and sky were the same color everywhere. How could we tell east, west, south, and north? "
Ping An didn't say this just now, but Sun Sicheng patted his chest after hearing it.
"Ping An, are you trying to scare the master to death? You'd better not come to this place again. May the Bodhisattva bless you.
We will return to the barracks tomorrow, and we will return to the city early the day after tomorrow. We have had enough of living here."
"Master, is the Marquis' leg healed?"
"It's okay. It's just a matter of slowly recovering." Sun Sicheng began to have a headache. His heart was pounding.
This time, it was really the Bodhisattva’s blessing, otherwise this little disciple would never come back.
After Ping An settled down in Yingtian, he still went to Tianguang Temple, firstly to check the health of the old abbot, and secondly to donate some silver to the temple.
When we arrived at the original inn, it was already dark for an hour.
The shopkeeper didn't ask anything and arranged for everyone to eat, wash up, and go to bed early.
He Jin walked into the eldest son's room and knelt down.
Wanli just stood there and didn't stop anything.
Ping An wanted to help, but seeing the master had a sullen face, he also knelt down.
"He Jin, you really disappoint me this time. I told you before I left that you can buy some suitable items at the market, but protecting the people is the most important thing. You can let your subordinates do the specific things, and you don't have to do everything yourself."
"Yes, sir, please punish me."
"Master, Uncle He really didn't plan to go there himself, so I asked him to go. At the time, I was with Lin Feng, Qing Shi, Wu Jun, and Xiao Ming. I thought that there was no way anything could happen in broad daylight at the market. Who knew that Fu An and the others were gone?"
"He Jin, no matter if Ping An asked you to leave or not, since I handed him over, you shouldn't have left his side. I forgive you this time, but if it happens next time, just go back to the valley and don't follow me."
"Yes, young master." He Jin was filled with shame. He was indeed wrong this time. He seemed to be possessed by a ghost and made the most basic mistake.
"And you, Ping An, I thought you were smart, but you're actually stupid. You can hire people to deliver the goods after you buy them. You can deliver a lot at a time. Just send one person to follow. Why do you need to send one or two people to deliver the goods after buying a batch? How many people would be enough? If you had enough people around you this time, would others still attack you?"
Ping An muttered, "But they have already kidnapped Fu An, Chen Xuan and Xi Zi. If I don't go, they will really be taken away."
Sun Sicheng raised his voice and said, "What do they have to do with me? They did it themselves. Why do you dress so flashy when you go out?
At worst, I can bring others to rescue them. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You must protect yourself before saving others. Don't you understand this principle?"
Sun Sicheng has always known that he is not a good person in the true sense. When nothing happens, he is just a pure good person, but once something touches him or the people he cares about the most, everything else has to be put aside, and he will try his best to protect himself and the people he wants to protect first.
"Master, I understand."
Sun Sicheng lowered his voice and said, "He Jin, go back and have a rest. Reflect on what happened this time and don't make the same mistake again. Remember, I, Sun Sicheng, don't lack money. The first thing is to protect people. Nothing is more important than people. Get out."
"Yes, my Lord."
After Wanli and He Jin left, Ping'an saw that his master was still frowning and his eyes turned away.
"Master, I may have forgotten to tell you that I bought some good things from foreigners and hid them in the bottom of the cabin. I didn't even tell Fu An and the others. I will give them back to Master, Mr., Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster."
Sun Sicheng raised his eyes and said, "Oh? Is there anything else you want to give to Grand Master? How much did you buy? What are they?"
“Not much. They brought it here just to have a look, but no one knew what it was and the price was not good enough, so they didn’t buy it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come into my hands. I have a very sharp eye.
There are a few pairs of glasses that older people can wear. They can’t see the words clearly, but if they wear these, they don’t have to worry. Even a hundred years old can see the words clearly.”
Sun Sicheng frowned, "I have heard about this. A foreign envoy gave it to the emperor. I heard that it was not much. The emperor kept some for himself and gave the rest to meritorious officials. I heard that there are very few foreigners who can make this kind of glasses, and the crystal used must be the best. I didn't expect that you got it.
I don't care how many you have, Master has to keep one. If you are not old now, you will be old in the future, right? "
Ping An laughed, "Yes, yes, no matter who gives it, you have to give it to the master."
Sun Sicheng also laughed. How could he still be angry?
"Master, your disciple is very lucky this time. These foreigners brought some very large potatoes in the cabin. They call them potatoes. One is three times bigger than the potatoes in our Great Zhou. I heard that the yield is also very high. I will try to grow them on my own farm for a year next year. If it is really good, I will present it to the court so that the people of the Great Zhou will suffer less hunger."
Sun Sicheng was shocked: "Ping An, you didn't tell anyone about this, right?"
"No, Fu An saw it and asked why the potatoes were so big. I said the land was fertile and didn't say anything."
"Remember, don't tell anyone about this. I will personally bring the fruits back to the capital after the first month of the lunar year and plant them on your farm. Master Qin is very steady in his work."
"Master, will you return to Beijing after the first month of the lunar year?"
"Well, your matter is very important. Besides, I have to go home. I will go to the old abbot again in the second half of the year, and then come to accompany you. I guess I will arrive in Yingtian by now."
"Master, you should spend the New Year in the capital before coming out. Otherwise, you won't be able to spend the next two years with Master's wife and the others."
