Chapter 31: The Rope and the Cross II

When Dongmen Qing killed Gustav, his eyebrows did not wrinkle, his face did not show hideousness, and he had no expression at all. But on the contrary, this expressionless face made Xu Qijin even more afraid!

When Dongmen Qing's eyes moved over and fell on him, Xu Qijin was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed and shouted: "Prince Wang, spare your life!" Spare your life! ”

Wu Tiepi, Shuiyu Cai and others all came around, and Li Chun also took out Gustav's saber and handed it over to Dongmen Qing. Dongmen Qing put the knife on Xu Qijin's neck, the knife entered the flesh slightly, and it had not yet bled yet, where did Xu Qijin dare to move, but his face was full of pleading.

"Please! Don't kill me! I...... I won't say it! If I say it, I'm going to die a bad death!" For everyone's sake, everyone is a citizen of the Celestial Empire, don't kill me! ”

Dongmen Qing thought to himself: "I haven't learned the words of the Franc machine yet, and Li Chun and they don't understand it half-well, this guy Franc machine is very slippery, it may be useful to keep it." Besides, if this ship is distinguished by whether it has run errands for the ghosts, I am afraid that no one will be clean! This guy is also my Ming people, and he belongs to his compatriots, so why should he be killed? Then he put away the knife and made a few gestures with Chen Baifu, Chen Baifu didn't say anything, Xu Qijin had already shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry!" I won't say that! I won't say anything! Dongmenqing nodded, directing everyone to move Gustav's body aside, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a cross necklace hanging from Gustav's chest, the necklace was inlaid with a dazzling emerald, and after a little groaning, he ripped it off and stuffed it in his pocket.

When Wu Tiepi, Shuiyu Cai and others saw it, they all thought in their hearts: "This dumb man is ruthless, but people are also greedy, and he doesn't let go of even the things of the dead." "However, it is the habit of pirates to stretch out their hands when they see a corpse, and these sailors do not take Dongmenqing's move very seriously.

After Gustav's body was moved aside, Dongmen Qing took his saber and headed for the deck. The so-called "ten-room city, there must be heroes"! There was no shortage of heroic Chinese sailors in this pirate fleet who were coerced by the Francophone man, but these heroes had already died in the previous rebellions, and the people left at this time, even the leaders such as Wu Tiepi and Shuiyu Cai were people who had no ideas, and when they saw that Dongmen Qing was doing things neatly and neatly, they seemed to be confident, so they naturally followed him. They were the leaders of the four Chinese gangs, and there were twenty or thirty sailors behind them, so there were ambushes on several aisles leading to the deck and the captain's room, and these people had actually formed an invisible protective net, in which Dongmenqing walked from the right passage of the Golden Dog to the deck, all the way without obstacles.

At this time, the situation on the sea has changed again! Li Dayong's fleet already has several small ships glued to the Golden Dog, and even his main ship is gradually approaching. Dongmen Qing and the others saw clearly from the side of the ship, and thought: "We don't have enough weapons, but in a few moments, when Li Dayong's people rush to the deck, we will turn against us, not only can we catch those Franc Machines off guard, but also make those Franc Machines unable to distinguish between friend and foe......"

was still thinking, and suddenly Wu Tiepi trembled and pointed to the distance and said, "Look...... That...... That ......"

He was referring to the three-masted galleon that was captured by Li Dayong. Since the Golden Dog did not move, the captured three-masted galleon approached with the wind, and the situation on board gradually became clear! Dongmen Qing and the others raised their eyes and saw that the Chaozhou pirates on the three-masted sailing ship were attacking and killing the sailors who were still on the ship - at this time, the Franco-Rang man had already abandoned the ship and fled, so the sailors of the East China Sea countries who remained on the brig were not the sailors of the East China Sea, but the natives of the islands of the South Seas! But Li Dayong's subordinates are also merciless to these people, as long as they hold it, they will all be killed! A few steps ahead, I saw that the pirates who attacked the Golden Dog did the same! Dongmen Qing was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "Why don't they treat them differently? Why don't you kill all of them? ”

He didn't know that the reason why he thought this way was completely from his own standpoint. Most of the pirates who roar out to sea are poor people who can't survive inland, and their first consideration is not what ideals and morality are, but the survival of the group, in short, how to survive! This foundation is ensured before we can talk about the rest. Therefore, Huayi's distinction is relatively indifferent to these pirates, and does not even exist in the scope of their considerations.

Those who are willing to follow the local customs and abide by the rules of the South Australian waterways, Li Dayong will also consider doing business with them, and this time the Franco fleet led by Mendoza plundered their grain ships, which infringed on the interests of the South Australian people and killed their limelight! Whether it is out of affection or out of interest, they must get this place back, they must teach this fleet a lesson, and even destroy it! As for whether they died under the knife or whether they were Franc or Chinese, it didn't make much difference to Li Dayong! As soon as Dongmen Qing and the others saw that it was the attack of the Chinese ships, they thought it was a chance to escape, but in fact, it was just their own wishful thinking, and the South Australian people did not come this time to liberate their compatriots, but only to take revenge! For Liwei!

During the Dongmen Qing lost consciousness, the sound of killing was already shocking, and at this time, two more small boats hooked the Golden Dog, and more than 20 pirates who stretched out their hands and surged up! On the deck, whether it is the Franco, Nanyang natives or Chinese sailors, they have to fight to the death in order to protect themselves! Dongmen Qing hoped that the leader of the other party would quickly send a message to divide the Golden Dog, but no! Not all the time! At this moment, there is no Huayi up and down the Golden Dog, only life and death and friend and foe!

Dongmen Qing sighed deeply, and he suddenly found that the well-dressed man's evaluation of these pirates was reasonable from a certain point of view.

"After all, they are just a bunch of outlaws who don't know the righteousness!"

Dongmenqing doesn't hate them for having no morality, but he hates them for having no vision! However, this is not something he can control, and all he can do now is how to protect himself. Before Gaspar patrolled to the stern, Shuiyu Cai, Wu Tiepi and others all returned to their posts, and Dongmen Qing also returned to the accounting room! A quarter of an hour ago, he was still hoping that the Teochew pirates would win a big victory, but now he was hoping that Mendoza would be able to successfully lead the Golden Dog to escape!

The Golden Dog finally moved, turning southeast before Li Dayong's main ship approached, because the Golden Dog was more flexible than Li Dayong's main ship, so it could gradually throw away the opponent by the wind, but the five small ships were still attached to the right side of the big ship, after solving the crisis on the deck, Mendoza quickly organized sailors to counterattack the South Australian pirates who climbed to the side of the Golden Dog, and used firearms to smash three of the small ships.

Under Gaspar's command, the Golden Dog sailed out of an S-shaped trajectory, making it impossible for the follow-up ships of the South Australian pirates to approach, and in the absence of backup, the South Australian pirates on the Golden Dog gradually turned into a disadvantage. The two leaders saw that they couldn't jump into the two small ships that had not yet sunk, and Li Dayong's main ship also sent a signal to them to go back - the goal of killing the enemy in South Australia had been achieved, and the main ship could not catch up with the enemy ship, and any further entanglement would only increase the casualties of the elite team.

The distance between the two sides gradually widened, and consciously avoided each other, Li Dayong's men were busy salvaging their companions who had not yet sunk in the nearby water, while the Francophile did not dare to stop, and pulled the sails and retreated to the southeast!

Seeing that a naval battle was about to end, Dongmen Qing realized that the ruling order of the Golden Dog would soon return to the right track, and then he suddenly remembered that there was a person who had not yet been solved - Xu Qijin! But when he found Xu Qijin's figure in the crowd, this guy had already hid beside Mendoza!

"There's no chance to kill him!" Dongmen Qing thought, and then remembered Shuiyu Cai, Wu Tiepi and others, once the Golden Dog is stable, will these people be able to keep this secret? He felt hanging!

"Alasβ€”I still have flaws everywhere when I start doing things." Dongmen Qing thought, but he still has to make one last bit of effort, hoping that this little effort can save his life.

In the chaos that had not yet ended, Dongmen Qingxian hid Gustav's saber in a corner, followed it into Xu Qijin's cabin, found his sleeping place, turned over his salute, removed his things, and was about to plant a false accusation, when he suddenly found that there was a wooden board in the corner after the salute that seemed to be different, he used the cross to pry it, and then pried off a wooden plank, revealing a mousehole-like hole, this small hole is just enough for people to enter and exit, he reached in and touched it, and found a pocket watch. When I touched it again, I found a few pieces of gold and a dozen silver coins, most of which were also from the wrong path.

"I didn't expect him to have such a bad habit." Dongmen Qing thought about it, then stuffed the cross inlaid with gems into it, but took out the pocket watch.

At this time, Li Chun, who was holding the wind outside the door, coughed, Dongmen Qing hurriedly put Xu Qijin's salute away, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Sato Hideyoshi looking at him suspiciously, and sneered: "What are you doing?" ”

"Nothing!" Li Chun said.

Dongmen Qing snorted, biting his lip and not speaking. Sato said: "You're not honest, why don't you call everyone to see what you're doing inside!" Dongmen Qing's face was full of helplessness, so he had to take out the pocket watch, Sato Hideyoshi's eyes lit up, Dongmen Qing stuffed the pocket watch into his hand, and his face showed a look of pleading.

Sato Hideyoshi smiled when he saw it: "I didn't expect that Wang Gongzi would also have a day wagging his tail to beg for pity!" He was about to refuse Dongmenqing and wanted to drag him to see Lasso, but suddenly saw Dongmenqing's praying eyes with stubbornness, and his heart was cold, so he didn't dare to force him too hard, and thought: "Those Nanban have just suffered a big defeat, and they may not be in the mood to pay attention to these little things, so I may not be able to please them like this." He looked at the pocket watch in his hand, liked it in his heart, and thought that it would be better to keep this treasure, so he stuffed it into his pocket and sneered: "Is there anything else?" ”

Dongmen Qing shook his head, and Sato Hideyoshi said, "I don't believe it!" Dongmen Qing obediently raised his hand and asked him to search, but he found the cross that Anthony gave him - this cross is far less expensive than Gustav's, so Sato Hideyoshi looked at it and didn't ask for it, and only after the search did he say to Dongmen Qing: "If you want to do something bad in the future, remember not to let me catch it!" With that, he walked away.

Li Chun was indignant next to him, but Dongmen Qing signaled him not to move, and only after Sato Hideyoshi left, did a sneer appear on the corner of his mouth.
