Romance Chinese Network

Xiaoliuqiu is like a jewel plate, which is always on the opposite side of Daming, facing each other across the sea.

Many years ago, people from Fujian/Jian and other places sailed here to escape the war, and gradually formed a settlement.

But since there were Japanese pirates, this place has become a dangerous place.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang directly moved the people of Xiaoliuqiu inland and adopted a policy of banning the sea.

But the policy has never been able to stop those bold people. After moving inland, some people still went to Xiaoliuqiu, and then some became pirates, and some became farmers.

Li Er felt that Xiaoliuqiu was a good place, so after evading the pursuit of the Daming Navy, he came back with his three clippers transformed from merchant ships.

As soon as the ship docked, a group of pirates with various weapons greeted them. When the leader saw Li Er, he said, "Li Er, how much can you earn this trip?"

Li Er was wearing a bunt, and he jumped onto the bank without waiting for the board, his figure was vigorous.

"Is Seventh Brother here?"

Li Er narrowed his eyes and looked around before asking.

"Yes, Seventh Brother is worrying about running out of goods to sell to those natives. You will definitely make a lot of money this trip."

Li Er turned around and said to the people on the boat: "I'm going to see Brother Seven, you guys are waiting on the boat, don't get off the boat."

The crew on board agreed, and then took a vigilant look at the big men on the shore.

When trading with pirates, you have to be ready to be swallowed at any time.

Li Er followed the group of people on the horse, and then entered the island along a dirt road.

...

Half an hour later, the leader dismounted, and then led the horse into the jungle, followed by Li Eryan.

The jungle is quiet, and birdsong can be heard.

A quarter of an hour later, the front suddenly opened up, and an open field appeared.

The wooden houses are located in this place one by one, and some big men are practicing outside, mostly with spears in their hands.

"prick!"

More than a dozen rows stabbing forward in unison, the momentum is scary.

A big man walked out of a wooden house. He bared his chest, glanced at Li Er, and said, "You are half a month late!"

"Seventh brother!"

Li Er cupped his hands and said: "When I came out, I was spotted by the navy, and then I ran away all the way. After passing here, the navy's boat went back, and I dared to turn back."

A smile gradually appeared on the stern face of the big man, and he ordered: "Go and see the goods, and bring back the list."

A team of big men went to deal with pirates, and force was the only guarantee.

The big man waved his hands calmly.

Li Er walked over without changing his expression, and the two of them watched those men practice together.

"Admiral really can't go to the West?"

Cao Qi's stern face showed some sarcasm.

"Yes, Seventh Brother, there is an order from the court, the treasure ship has stopped, and the crew have been dismissed."

Li Er's attitude was not humble, his big dark hands were clenched tightly, and he was not afraid amidst the shouts of killing.

Cao Qi's eyes were sharp and cold, and he glanced at Li Er beside him suddenly, and then said: "Those civil servants in the court are all idiots! They have done a lot overseas, but they are like women... no, they are worse than women!"

"The forbidden sea of ​​Zhu's family was initially feared by Japanese pirates, but now that the Japanese kingdom has become the chief secretary of Yingzhou, what is there to be afraid of? Now the emperor is also an idiot! So our opportunity to make a fortune has come, and we may not be able to do so in the future." Overseas self-reliance, Li Er..."

Cao Qi turned sideways, stared into Li Er's eyes and asked, "Are you interested in participating in the grand event? Then we will make a fortune overseas together! Maybe there will be a day when we return to the Central Plains, um, wait for the emperor of the Zhu family When we are stupid, we may have the opportunity to go to that palace to see the scenery."

These words are bold and very tempting.

Li Er smiled slightly, feeling a little shy, and said, "Seventh brother, you know, my wife is on the shore, so I definitely can't leave."

Cao Qi stared into his eyes, expressionless, and smiled for a long time: "You once ruled the sea in the past, so just pick it up.

Are you still afraid? "

Li Er still smiled and said: "My old lady is in someone else's hands now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't go to sea."

Cao Qi's eyes narrowed, and Li Er immediately said: "My old lady's eyes, legs and feet are not very good, and she can't go out to sea to get damp. The man caught my old lady and asked me to go to sea to trade with you. That's it, and I'll wait until someday." My old lady has gone, and I will give her an explanation."

A murderous intent flashed in Li Er's eyes, and Cao Qi sighed: "It's not easy for you, hey! Those dogs should be killed, and if they are afraid of killing, they will be obedient, as obedient as a dog!"

Li Er's eyes gradually calmed down, and he said, "That man is quite powerful in the south."

"How far is it from the sea?"

A greedy look flashed across Cao Qi's eyes, and he wanted to grab it and run away.

The corners of Li Er's lips were slightly raised, and the sarcasm disappeared in a flash, and he said, "Ningbo Mansion."

"In the city?"

Cao Qi asked unwillingly.

"Yes, in the city."

This is a feral pirate who is now half thief, half merchant. But the greed and the idea of ​​getting something for nothing are deeply rooted in the bones.

"That Xinghebo is in Jinling, and the prince is also there."

Li Er didn't want to cause chaos, there were too many variables, and his old mother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Not long after they checked the goods and came back, the leading man with the goatee glanced at Li Er and said, "Seventh brother, the goods are right, but there are some things that are not very good. We need to talk about the price, otherwise the brothers will not be able to support you." get up!"

Cao Qi looked at the list carefully, and then asked the man with the goatee: "Brother grandson, is there any discrepancy?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Er.

Before the man with the goatee could speak, Li Er said flatly: "Seventh brother, this is boring. I ordered all these goods myself. If there are any defects, then I, Li Er, am blind... But when I was crossing the sea, , are you all still farming?"

Cao Qi was stunned, and Li Er's gaze was fixed on him as sharp as a long knife, and he said word by word: "Since I went into the sea, no one has dared to swallow my goods from Li Er, never! Unless I die, otherwise I will trade according to the rules! Do you understand?"

Cao Qi narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Er like a poisonous snake, and took a step back at the same time.

Li Er glanced at his grandson, then glanced at the pirates who had stopped practicing and were walking towards this side, and said indifferently: "Take a step back? I, Li Er, will kill you first. Then break through."

Cao Qi's body froze, and then he held the handle of the knife, his eyes flickering.

Li Er smiled slightly, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, "You can try, if you lose, I, Li Er, will make dinner for you!"

Cao Qi laughed, and his grandson turned his gaze, waved his hands to the approaching pirates, then turned around and said, "Brother Qi, Li Er and the others haven't eaten yet!"

Cao Qi laughed and said, "I'm not good at being a master! I actually forgot to clean up the dust. Come on, let's not go home today if we don't get drunk!"

Li Er said coldly between his brows: "Okay."

"please!"

Cao Qi stretched out his hand to invite, Li Er nodded, and then entered the wooden house without being polite.

"how?"

When he went in, Cao Qi asked in a low voice.

Brother Sun caressed his beard and said, "Be very cautious. There are even oil barrels beside those people. It is reckoned to be kerosene. There are unlit torches beside them. Those people are very alert, so I didn't ask anyone to do it."

Cao Qi nodded, pointed to the gathered pirates, and after they dispersed, he said: "Li Er is a pirate for many years, so of course there will be no shortage of such methods, I just want to test him, that's all, this deal is worth it." Already!"

The grandson glanced at the wooden house, and said in a low voice: "Brother Seven, he is a filial son, someone has said this long ago. If you want to win him into the gang, you'd better snatch his old mother and control him. Naturally, I will obediently serve my life."

Cao Qi was a little moved, "Look at the timing, drink later, try to persuade him, as long as he is willing, he will look for opportunities by himself, and then we will work together, not only can we rob his wife, but also bring him back to life." The gentry behind him got it, so he must have a lot of money and food."

Brother Sun hesitated, "Brother Seven, those sailors are looking for Li Er! If they catch up with us, Xiaoliuqiu won't be able to stay in the future."

Cao Qi scolded in a low voice: "Damn it! Those sailors... must be Fu Xian, that guy wants to make meritorious service! Forget it, go drink."
