There is no need to elaborate on the process of descending from the Pride to the dinghy and then boarding the Nicole from the gangway, anyway, when Xue Laixiang and his companions finally boarded the deck of the Nicole, their legs were almost limp, and their faces were a little pale.

They had never climbed such a high ladder in their lives, and Xue Laixiang was very sure that this giant ship, which was taller than the city gate tower, was actually iron!

Standing on the deck and looking down, the miraculous sailboat on which I had just slept and eaten was as small as a sampan.

If Mr. Zhu hadn't come over to call him, Xue Laixiang and his companions would have been standing on the side of the boat like this, staring at the sea dumbfounded.

Soon, Xue Laixiang and his companions met the ship's "Grand Commander" in the tall white building behind the deck.

Xue Laixiang thinks that Captain Gu is a very majestic person, and he has a noble appearance, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, solemn eyes, dark skin, and a tall figure.

Xue Laixiang believed that the nobles should not be the same as the people around them, including hairstyles and clothes, but although Captain Gu was almost no different from others in those aspects, he could tell at a glance that the man standing in the middle of a group of people, who was bending down at the table with a magnifying glass to look at a huge map, was the great commander "Captain Gu" in Mr. Zhu's mouth.

Seeing Captain Gu turn around and look at him, Xue Laixiang and his three companions walked a few steps, knelt in front of Captain Gu with a plop, and bowed their heads.

The iron floor was buzzing with the four heads, and a slight tremor could be felt under everyone's feet, and the cockpit suddenly echoed with the sound of kowtowing.

"Lord Gu is above, Shandong Haimin Xue Laixiang is here to thank the Lord for saving his life, although he is a grass people, he knows that Entu is a great gift, and he is willing to repay it with his life, if it is violated, heaven and earth will destroy it!"

At this time, Captain Gu turned his head and saw that the four knelt in front of him, and he was not polite, he just stood straight and straight with a serious expression, and received the great gift of the four of them.

Zhu Beiguo stood next to the four of them but wanted to laugh in his heart, under normal circumstances, when people give such a big gift, the recipient will usually give way sideways, or show a modest and kind face, and even step forward to help each other, this is probably the unspoken rule of people's etiquette.

However, Captain Gu thinks that as a representative of the party that has great favors to you, it is appropriate for me to accept your worship a few times, since it is deserved, then accept it calmly, in short, I can't make a false humble and avoidance posture.

Zhu Beiguo sighed in his heart, thinking that Captain Gu was really a real person, not imaginary, probably running out at sea all the year round, and he couldn't afford to play with those vain things, and said that if this captain didn't have excellent navigation skills and professionalism, he would be speechless, just with this porcelain heart, it would be difficult to achieve the position of captain in the old world......

Zhu Beiguo was still thinking about it, and Captain Gu had already sent a message to ask someone:

"Well, I heard you're a maritime merchant?"

Xue Laixiang was about to respond, but Captain Gu suddenly remembered something, and waved his hand to ask the people around him to bring a few chairs.

"Okay, stop kneeling, get up! Let's sit and talk. ”

At this time, Gu Jin smiled and said to the four people kneeling in front of him, his tone was kind and amiable.

"The benefactor is on top, how dare to sit on the ...... equally"

"It's not tiring to sit and talk! Sit down, I have something to ask you. ”

"So...... It's a good ......."

"What's this, hurry!"

"Beiguo, you sit here and act as an interpreter for us, listening to this Xue brother's accent seems to be a northerner, but the accent of this dialect is a little difficult to understand."

...... After some tossing, everyone finally sat down, and Xue Laixiang and the four of them bent over and sat on the chairs, facing Captain Gu, looking cramped with nowhere to put their eyes.

"Let's tell me where you came from."

Captain Gu didn't mind the other party's crampedness, and started the conversation straightforwardly.

So with the help of Zhu Beiguo, Xue Lai told Gu Jin in detail about his origins - starting from Jimo's hometown, to how he inherited the family business, took the fleet to the north and south, how he became the branch of the Zheng family in Jinxia, and how to "catch up with the business" in Horo Port, and then encountered wind and waves, and finally fell into an ambush by others, dozens of guys are missing, three thousand ships were captured by others, and he finally fell into trouble before and after here, and described it to Gu Jin in detail.

For Gu Jin and Zhu Beiguo, Xue Laixiang's experience can be described as legendary, in Xue Laixiang's narration, those famous historical figures jumped out one by one, Tang Wang, Lu Wang, Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Chenggong, etc., so that the audience listened with great interest.

Gu Jin and Zhu Beiguo exchanged glances while listening, and the two of them immediately thought that this person would be of great use to us in the future.

For the onlookers such as Ren Kewei @ Hong, they valued this person at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and refused to return to the new dynasty, and was actually willing to do things for the declining Ming Dynasty, as Ming fans, their favor for Xue Laixiang increased greatly.

So when Xue Laixiang finished narrating, Captain Gu ordered the four people to be sent to the cabin to rest, and the two also met with him in the cabin, Ren Wei and the two went prepared, and chatted with Xue Lai in a few words......

In short, later, the friendship between the two brothers Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan and Ren Kewei @ Hong has continued to future generations, and several families have become world friends, which is a later story.

was placed in the cabin of the Nicole with Xue Laixiang and the four of them, as well as Huang Zhiyan, who was saved by Dai Xiaoshan with expired anti-inflammatory drugs and penicillin - the worldly friend of the Xue Laixiang family and his own genuine brother-in-law.

By this time, although Huang Zhiyan's body had not fully recovered, he was already conscious, considering that the Pride was small in space and the cabin conditions were not as good as Nicole's, so he was carried to the Nicole on a stretcher by Xue Laixiang's companions to recuperate, and the conditions here were much better than those of the Pride.

"Looks like that's a pretty good reason to do it......"

After watching Xue Laixiang leave the cabin, Gu Jin sat on a chair and played with a pencil in his hand, glanced at Zhu Beiguo, and said a sentence without a beginning or an end.

Obviously, Zhu Beiguo understood, and he immediately nodded in response:

"Providence! This Sulu kingdom started with pirates, and we took Xue Laixiang to Holo Harbor to seek justice, no matter how you say it, it's a matter of course! ”

According to the information provided by Xue Laixiang just now, the Sulu Kingdom is now in power, and the government has been in the hands of the prime minister, so the contradiction between the king and some nobles is very deep.

However, the Heavenly Dao Cycle, which is the so-called blessing of misfortune, now that Xue Laixiang has met us and been rescued, it is a great thing for him and us.

Anyway, let's go to Porto Hollow tomorrow to do something......

At this moment, Gu Zhu and the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, which made Xu Zhi, who was sitting next to him, feel that both of them were smiling a little sinisterly.

That night, Gu Jin held a discussion meeting in the Nicole crew dining room, and all the unworthy people of the two ships participated except for those on duty.

The meeting was to brainstorm a course of action for tomorrow's trip to Porto Holo.

The sea area outside Holo Harbor is basically a shallow sea, and most of the people sailing on this shallow sea are flat-bottomed slurry ships with shallow draft, but for the pointed bottom thousand material ships of this era, there is no big problem, after all, Holo Harbor is a port with a history of hundreds of years, and after generations of operation and repair, the wharf facilities are still good.
