The rest of the Japanese knelt down and begged to surrender, only three of them probably felt that they couldn't survive, so they turned around and walked towards Fang Xing, who only brought his servant by his side.

Xiao Guwei shook his head, but the black thorns didn't help, they all looked at the two Japanese with dead eyes.

Fang Xing frowned and looked at the pirate who was kneeling on the ground, and walked over slowly.

The servants stopped suddenly, and the two Japanese were overjoyed. They saw that Fang Xing's status was probably not low, and they thought that as long as they could capture him, they would be able to escape safely even if it was an exchange.

Fang Xing walked towards Cao Qi as if he hadn't seen him before, when the two Japanese rushed towards him in ecstasy, an arrow flew towards him, and the arrow on the forehead of the Japanese on the left stood there dumbfounded.

At the same time, a flying knife was accurately inserted into the throat of the Japanese man on the right.

When the two were staggering, Fang Xing walked between them, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground immediately came from behind.

"My lord, he is Cao Qi."

A pirate immediately turned his back and identified Cao Qi,

Fang Xing walked up to Cao Qi and asked, "Where's Li Er's goods?"

Cao Qi looked up, Fang Xing was very close, but he didn't dare to move, he could only say honestly, "My lord, it's in the warehouse."

"very good!"

Fang Xing needed to use that batch of goods to track down the big boss behind Li Er, so he was in a good mood when he heard that, so he asked, "Why are you hanging out with Japanese people?"

Cao Qi said bitterly: "The little family was poor, so they went to sea to find a way to survive. Later, the Japanese kingdom disappeared, and the little one had no place to make money, so I brought them here. On weekdays, I just went to rob Luzon and other places. The ships of trade..."

Although the Ming Dynasty has established a national policy of 'official trade', there are merchants who go to sea privately in the Ming Dynasty, and those countries will naturally have them, and they are even more unscrupulous.

Fang Xing walked behind him with his hands behind his back, and said, "You are a bachelor, but did you ever kill a Daming man?"

Cao Qi wanted to say no, but when he saw the eyes of those subordinates were full of pleading, he felt cold and bowed his head: "Small crimes deserve death."

Fang Xing pointed to the kneeling Japanese, and the black thorn soldiers immediately went over and tied them up one by one.

"I said that you are a bachelor. If so, let you suffer less."

Cao Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, I promise you everything is true."

...

Under Cao Qi's identification, the pirates' warehouses were found and opened one by one.

As soon as Fang Xing entered, he was sneezed a few times by the pungent smell of spices. He looked at the scattered goods inside and explained casually: "It's not much use to bring food back. I gave it to those little ones on the way back. The people of Ryukyu."

Cao Qi cooperated very well, so the search efficiency was very high.

After explaining everything, Cao Qi simply stood under a big tree, raised his bound hands and said, "Uncle, my little parents are gone, and I have no face to go back to the Central Plains. The knife must be It is inconvenient, I implore uncle to give me a rope, and the little one will break it by himself."

Seeing the calmness on Cao Qi's face, Fang Xing nodded and said, "He's a man, but unfortunately he went the wrong way. It doesn't matter if he goes the wrong way. Back then, Ben Bo once said that it's nothing for us Daming people to kill and set fire outside. , but you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't do anything to your own people..."

Cao Qi knelt on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, it's really impossible, so let's behead the little one right here. The little one really doesn't want to go back to the Central Plains."

"Why don't you want to go back?"

The fox died on the first hill, the desire of the Han people to return to their roots is so deep-rooted, so Fang Xing asked curiously.

Cao Qi bowed his head and said nothing, at this moment a pirate shouted: "Uncle, Brother Qi's father was forced to fail to pay the rations, and was tormented to death by the ration chiefs."

Fang Xing's heart was shocked, and the characters in Water Margin went through in his mind.

The pirate continued: "Uncle, the Ming people that Seventh Brother killed were all pirates. They did not obey the rules and attacked the people of Xiaoliuqiu. Seventh Brother led us to exterminate them.

"

Fang Xing saw that Cao Qi was still bowing his head, and asked, "But really?"

Cao Qi nodded slightly, "Uncle, the little one killed that grain chief before he came out..."

"Happy kindness and hatred!"

Fang Xing sighed helplessly, beckoned Xin Laoqi to come over, whispered a few words, then turned and left.

"We're all on board, let's go back!"

Xiao Guwei didn't know what Fang Xing was going to do with Cao Qi, and he wasn't interested in knowing either. For him, for the people of Blackthorn, death is an option in life, and if it is possible, he will not be afraid.

Xin Laoqi took Cao Qi away and soon disappeared into the jungle.

The two walked for more than a mile in the jungle, when Xin Lao Qi suddenly called to stop, Cao Qi obediently knelt on the ground, stretching his neck to kill.

"Do you have enemies here in Xiaoliuqiu?"

Cao Qi shook his head and said, "The little one helped them..."

"Why help them?"

Cao Qi kept shaking his head and said: "Although I'm far away from my hometown, I can see that the people of Ming Dynasty are always kind, so after I learned that they were blackmailed by those scattered pirates, I went to help them... Afterwards, the relationship became better. You can also exchange some food..."

Cao Qi couldn't help smiling when thinking of those days: "Someone told the little one a daughter-in-law, but the little one was afraid that he would die on the boat someday, so he didn't dare to answer..."

"Those Japanese people can bear it. The young ones are afraid that there will be insufficient manpower after the fire, so they endured it. Today I want to kill them all, but who would have thought... my lord? Let's do it!"

"grown ups?"

Cao Qi yelled a few times and didn't respond, so he looked back and was stunned.

There was no one behind him, and there was still a long knife with a sheath on the ground.

Cao Qi stared blankly at the long knife, turned around slowly, and kowtowed to the way it came from, piously.

"Thank you, Uncle, I will definitely correct myself in the future..."

Cao Qi picked up the long knife and sneaked into the jungle.

At this time by the sea, the fleet has been loaded and anchored.

...

The weather in Ningbo Mansion in early summer is just right, neither hot nor cold.

A man came to the back door of Mu's mansion.

The man bowed his head slightly and knocked on the door gently.

"who?"

There was a questioning sound from inside, and the man whispered, "Li Er."

There was an extra eye in the crack of the back door, and the door was gently opened.

The servant guarding the gate saw Li Er going straight in, and said, "The master is teaching the two young masters to read, so don't go in yet."

Li Er didn't stop, the servant said angrily: "Li Er, be careful that the master will deal with you!"

Li Er stopped, and when the servant was proud, Li Er turned to stare at him, and said indifferently: "I want to see my mother, you won't allow me?"

The servant just wanted to say yes, but under Li Er's cold gaze, he felt as if his throat was blocked by someone, and he couldn't speak.

Li Er shook his head slightly, turned around and went in.

As a well-known farming and studying family in Ningbo Prefecture, the Mu family is very large, but there are not many houses, which look a bit sparse.

After passing through a door, there is a passage between the backyard and the fence, where the porter and some servants stay.

Li Er went in without looking sideways, and the maids were not surprised when they saw him at the gate of the backyard, so they went all the way to a small room at the right corner of the road.

The hut is a brick house with no windows, and the door is still closed.

Li Er said softly: "Mother."

There was some movement in the room, and Li Er called his mother again, and there were more rustling sounds in the room.

When the door opened, the light poured in, and an old woman in common clothes looked out blankly, reaching out and groping forward.

Li Er grabbed that pale hand and put it on his face, whispering admiringly: "Mother, the child is back."

The old woman touched his face, and said in a dry voice: "Second brother, you are back. Mother was worried about you, so she went to ask the people in this mansion, and they ignored mother. Mother thinks you want to go crazy. I just closed the door and prayed to Buddha, I just hope my son returns safely..."

Hearing this, Li Er felt great pain in his heart, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and then he helped the old woman in.

A maid stared furtively at the back for a long time, and then quietly went to the front yard when she saw this.

But Li Er turned around abruptly, looked at the servant girl's back and sneered.

"Second, sit down quickly, mother will pour you some water."

The old woman touched the table and got up, and then touched the teapot and teacups with missing spouts...

Li Er hurriedly supported her to sit down, then squatted in front of her and said, "Mother, the boy will earn money, when the time comes, we will go out together, and the boy will marry a wife to serve you."

The old woman smiled, but with a hint of desolation: "Second brother, it is mother who dragged you down."
