Romance Chinese Network

At dawn, the small village of dozens of people was filled with the smell of meat porridge.

Every household eats outside with bowls. Fang Xing, who is pacing around the village in the mist of morning mist, is as ethereal as a fairy.

"Is he the uncle?"

A young man asked. The daughter-in-law who was squatting beside him and drinking porridge first grabbed the rice grains from the corner of his son's mouth, then stuffed them into her own mouth, and then said, "They went to see the boat! It's the kind of rice from Eunuch Zheng." The big boat is definitely not a lie."

The young man nodded, took a mouthful of meat porridge, and said, "It's definitely not a lie to be so willing to give food, but why doesn't he leave?"

...

The smell mixed in the morning mist here is not very pleasant, and it feels like some rotting plants are exuding the breath.

Fang Xing frowned and looked towards the seaside, he was waiting for news.

After the morning mist was dispersed by the sun, a young man was brought to Fang Xing.

"Uncle..."

"Don't kneel."

Fang Xing stopped his kneeling, and asked: "Did you find any sea ships coming in and out here?"

The young man hesitated for a while, Fang Xing smiled, and said kindly: "That's pirates, understand? If we don't go and destroy them now, we will cause a lot of trouble when the army arrives in the future."

It wasn't that Fang Xing was unkind and had to use the army to intimidate him. These people knew how to protect themselves wisely. If they didn't use strong medicine, the news would probably be true or false, and the fleet would be in trouble when the time came.

Sure enough, the young man looked panic-stricken and said, "Uncle, those people are on the back, probably the seaside behind the small village. Sometimes they come by boat to collect grain, but they are willing to exchange spices. Later, some people in the village dared to Yes, I sneaked onto their boat and followed them, only to find out where their lair is.”

"How many people? Where are they from?"

"It seems to be hundreds of people, including Han Chinese, former Japanese, and natives from Luzon."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Okay! Seventh, reward him!"

Xin Laoqi agreed, and then came over with two big bags of rice.

Fang Xing said gently: "Don't think too little, Ben Bo will give some food to your village."

Turning around, Fang Xing ordered: "Let the fleet get ready, let's set off right away."

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, those people used to help..."

But Fang Xing had already walked away from Xin Lao Qi, and did not hear his words.

The fleet quickly left the coastline and set off according to the direction given by the young man.

...

Li Er was in the wooden house, and through the open door, he could see more than a dozen pirates wandering around.

This is the meaning of custody, before the transaction is completed, Cao Qi will not allow him to leave here.

"It's only been a few years! The rules have changed, and the loyalty is gone!"

Today was the day of the transaction. Li Er had a look at the gold and silver, spices and other goods used for exchange, and then took them to the seaside.

Li Er's calf was trembling slightly, which was a habit of maintaining vitality.

When the sun rose to the very center, the carts of goods were pulled back.

The deal is over!

Li Er still didn't move, the sunlight was reflected on the ground outside the house, reflecting Li Er's face extremely coldly.

There was a sound of footsteps, but Li Er still didn't move.

"Li Er!"

Cao Qi strode in, followed by his smirking grandson and two big men.

Li Er got up and said, "Brother Seven, is the delivery over?"

Cao Qi and the others blocked the light outside the house, making them look extraordinarily tall.

"Li Er, would you like to enjoy happiness with me?"

The light was blocked, and Li Er's face was a little blurred. He smiled and said, "I want to serve my mother for a hundred years, Brother Seven, why don't you make things difficult for me?"

Sun Di said behind Cao Qi: "Li Er, don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

These words were very threatening, and the two big men on the side were holding the handles of their knives, ready to draw their knives and attack at any time.

This is the alliance under the city!

Cao Qi had a reserved look on his face.

He has always wanted to win over Li Er, a former pirate, but today is a rare opportunity, and anyone who doesn't do it is a fool.

Li Er looked a little thin in the dark, Cao Qi became more determined, so he slowed down his tone and said: "From now on, you will be the second person under me, let's..."

Just when he was full of ambition, Li Er moved.

Like a flash of lightning, when Cao Qi reacted, a short blade was already resting on his neck. At the same time, Li Er's left hand passed through Cao Qi's waist. Cao Qi bent down involuntarily.

"Do it!"

Brother Sun shouted this sentence, and the two big men had just pulled out their knives, and Cao Qi was already controlled by Li Er.

He pressed Cao Qi and turned around, then said coldly: "He dies, or get out of the way!"

Cao Qi's right hand was pressed on his back, and he almost wanted to howl in pain. But he didn't dare, as long as he howled, he would be a coward in the eyes of these pirates from now on.

There is a soft leader... internal strife is almost certain, just like the Liangshan hero Huo Wang Lun.

"Li Er, what's your secret sneak attack? Let me go, or everyone will die together!"

Cao Qi shouted profusely, for a person like him, being humiliated in front of his subordinates is almost like death.

Brother Sun also shouted: "Let go of Seventh Brother, or I will kill your old lady!"

Li Er's eyes flashed brightly, but he really let go of Cao Qi.

Cao Qi rushed forward, then straightened up with difficulty, moving his right arm.

The two big men rushed over immediately, ready to kill Li Er.

"return!"

Cao Qi's face was flushed, and he kept moving his right arm.

The two big men were startled, but finally stopped and backed away.

Li Er put away the dagger, cupped his hands and said: "I'm hungry for wine today, thank you Brother Seven for your advice, next time I, Li Er, will bring some good wine to thank you."

Brother Sun's eyes flickered and said: "Seventh brother, kill him!"

Cao Qi shook his head, glanced at his younger brother erratically, and said, "Have someone serve wine, I will have a drink with Li Er, and then send him aboard."

Grandson was astonished, Cao Qi shouted: "Go right away!"

After his grandson left, Cao Qi smiled wryly and said, "I see, my life is not easy, so I sincerely invite you."

Li Er said indifferently: "If it were me at sea, this kind of people would have been chopped up with a knife, and it would be a disaster to keep them!"

Cao Qi sighed and said, "Most of my subordinates are Japanese people, followed by those Ming people who escaped from the Central Plains, plus some native people. The people are too mixed to manage!"

Li Er still said calmly: "Kill it, kill the leader, no one dares to do anything wrong!"

Cao Qi said embarrassingly: "It's easier said than done, that's all, let's go drink."

...

The banquet of the pirates is actually good, with enough wine and meat.

A roasted chicken with a knife stuck in it was sent to Li Er's body.

The person who delivered the food was a Japanese, and he said in his unskilled Ming dialect: "Dare you?"

This is an open space, and a bonfire is burning in front of it. More than a dozen Japanese people are roasting things by the bonfire, looking back here from time to time.

Two tables are placed next to each other, with Cao Qi on the left and Li Er on the right.

Li Er glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Don't talk about eating raw meat, when I was in the Japanese country, I was very hungry, and I even ate your Japanese meat!"

After speaking, Li Er pulled out the small knife and threw it out, and it happened to be stuck on the trunk of a small tree on the right.

The Japanese man suddenly changed color, and when he was about to call his companions, Li Er tore a chicken leg, stuffed it into his mouth, and said flatly: "Eat it, or I will chop you up!"

After speaking, he sat down and started eating.

This chicken was actually scorched by a fierce fire. It looked browned on the outside, but the meat inside was all raw, and it was full of blood when it swallowed.

Li Er just ate like this, chicken blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and dripped down his chin, but his eyes were fixed on this Japanese man.

The Japanese man's expression changed from anger to meekness, he ate the bloody chicken leg, and then bowed down.

Cao Qi looked at this scene with a gloomy expression, feeling a little regretful in his heart, and felt that he should not care about anything, and killed Li Er directly, and then killed his grandson to finish the matter.

"Seventh brother, drink!"

Li Er raised his bowl to toast, Cao Qiqiang responded with a smile, and then drank the bowl of wine, but he didn't know how it tasted.

Li Er ate the raw chicken with one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine, then raised his head to dry up the wine, stood up and said, "I am grateful for Brother Seven's hospitality, we will meet again later!"

Cao Qi nodded, "Okay, I won't see you off, next time when you come back, let's have a good drink."
