There were several cases around the deck, and there were all kinds of wine and food on top of the cases, and there was a vacant space in the middle that was obviously used to display songs and dances, and at this time, Chen Liang also saw Liu Xuan, and beckoned to her to take a seat on the several cases next to him.

Liu Xuan sat down after bowing slightly, and as soon as she sat down, she found that Qian Tong and Hu Yi were standing behind her. Looking around, all the people who sat down had servants around them, and there were even many people with beautiful relatives around them, she smiled and nodded at Chen Liang, thanking him for specially letting Qian Tong and others come, so that she did not lose her identity and make people look down on her.

Chen Liang raised his glass to her, which was regarded as a thank you to her.

Chen Liang is the main seat, Xu Yihui on his left hand, Liu Xuan on his right, Liu Xuan and Xu Yihui are almost facing each other, Xu Yihui is followed by two small servants, when Liu Xuan raised his eyes to look at him, he was raising a glass to her.

Qian Tong stepped forward to pour wine for her, Liu Xuan was very shallow, although it was not enough to pour three glasses, but three glasses were enough for her to bear, so she just took a sip of the wine glass and then put it down.

The sky is dark, but the ship is brightly lit and lively, most of the merchants on the ship, they have some dealings with each other, after sitting down, they began to chat, a few bold people took advantage of the wine during the banquet to get to Chen Liang's side and said funny words, if in Hangzhou, these people are afraid that they can't even see Chen Liang's face, how can such a good opportunity be missed.

Chen Liang still had a faint smile, he didn't speak, he just listened, occasionally nodded his head to show it, and after a long time, those few people didn't want to be bored and returned to their seats, and when they sat down, Chen Liang coughed lightly, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

Chen Liang raised his glass to the crowd: "All of you here are some people who have traveled from south to north, and today we are destined to take this boat, and it is too monotonous to stay on this boat for many days, so Chen Mou also hopes that you will present some songs and dances to make a lively scene, Chen Mou has not brought a singer on this trip, otherwise it will be the first for you to watch." ”

After he finished speaking, the people around him immediately said: "It is a blessing for us to be able to perform for Chen Gongzi. ”

Liu Xuan's right-hand side sat Yin Ruo, and there was a middle-aged man with a big belly next to Yin Ruo, who must be the richest businessman in Hangzhou. He got up and saluted Chen Liang: "Chen Gongzi, I have a new concubine in Hanyang, I am willing to be the first to perform for Gongzi to enjoy, and also do a beautiful thing." ”

Chen Liang sat down and smiled slightly: "Please." ”

A bewitching woman beside Yin Shi blessed everyone, and then took a few steps forward to the center of the deck, and was about to dance, when a man in the seat suddenly said: "How can there be a dance without music, the villain's Ji is willing to offer a song for Chen Gongzi to appreciate." ”

Chen Liang nodded, and the beautiful woman walked out of the man's side, and the woman took out a flute from her sleeve and put it to her lips, and immediately a flute music slowly flowed out, and the flute sound danced with the solid concubine in the middle, and the flute sound was clear and the dancing posture complemented each other.

Everyone was fascinated, and even Liu Xuan felt very beautiful when he saw it.

At the end of the song, the dance stopped, and there was a cheer all around, and the two women smiled slightly and replied, someone started to start, and then it became lively, one after another, and the lively boats on the silent river broke out from time to time with a burst of applause.

However, just then, a ship crept up to them.

The ship suddenly appeared like a ghost, and the huge sail was raised with a loud sound, and everyone looked at the sound, and when they saw the words on the huge sail, their faces turned pale, and they did not know who shouted first: "Water thief!" There was chaos all around.

The timid one has already crouched under a few cases, the ship was pitch black, and after the sail was raised, a light was also lit, Liu Xuan sat on a few cases and frowned and looked at the ship, only to see dozens of black-clothed water thieves standing on the deck of the ship, those people were fierce in all faces, and they were carrying a big knife in their hands, and the surface of the knife reflected the waves of the river and exuded a chill.

Tiger two, tiger three, tiger four, I don't know when they have come to Liu Xuan's side.

A man with a beard on his face walked out of the group of black-clothed water thieves and shouted towards Liu Xuan, "Whose boat is this?" Passing by my bearded territory, he dared to be so arrogant! ”

Chen Liang got up and saluted the man, and said loudly: "Chen Liang of Hangzhou Chen, I don't know the rules here, if you offend, I hope to forgive you." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he reported to his home, although this place is far away from Hangzhou, but the prestige of Hangzhou Chen is still passed on, after all, the waterways around Suzhou and Hangzhou are controlled by Chen.

When the bearded man heard that it was Chen's ship in Hangzhou, his face couldn't help but ease a little: "It's Chen's ship, forgive me for coming to my beard when you first arrived, and I will spare your life!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and suddenly the five or six water thieves in the front row stepped forward, and a hooked claw rope immediately appeared in his hand, and the ropes waved by those people were thrown one by one, and the hook hooked the side of the ship on this side.

The black-clothed pirates immediately followed the ropes to their ship, and when they got on board, they pointed their knives at the people on board: "Go, take out all your money and belongings, or watch your head!" ”

The person who was pointed at the knife immediately trembled and went to get the finances, and a water thief walked towards Liu Xuan, and then the bearded man on the water pirate boat suddenly spoke: "Chen Gongzi's property does not need to be taken." ”

The water thieves who came to them were originally going towards Chen Liang, as soon as the bearded man spoke, he walked towards Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan looked at the water thieves who were getting closer and closer with an expressionless face, there were Hu Yi and others in her She was not worried, just when the water thieves were still three steps away from Liu Xuan, Chen Liang suddenly opened his mouth: "This woman is the wife of the villain who has not passed through the door, and please show mercy to the strong man's subordinates." ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Xuan was stunned, she looked at Chen Liang, and saw that his face was full of sincerity, presumably he said this in order to protect himself, so Liu Xuan did not say anything and accepted Chen Liang's maintenance.

It's a pity that the bearded man didn't believe it, he laughed loudly: "What kind of joke is Gongzi Chen, although I begging for food on this river, I also know the name of Chen Liang of the Chen family, I have never heard of when Gongzi Chen actually married someone, and if she is your wife who has not passed through the door, how can she not sit with you?" ”

Chen Liang was about to say more, but his eyes suddenly changed, not only his eyes changed, but the eyes of everyone who looked at the bearded man changed, because at some point, a clipper appeared behind the bearded boat.

A voice came from the clipper: "Bearded, we meet again." ”

The bearded man's face was shocked, and when he saw that it was those clippers, his face immediately changed, and the water thieves who had originally looted the property on Chen Liang's boat didn't want their property, so they hurriedly ran along the rope to the boat, and they ran clean in an instant, this speed is definitely practiced.
