Chapter 55: The Way Forward

After Dongmen Qing jumped down, the water fish Cai and the bullfrog immediately used the oars to support the big boat, the water shrimp Cai raised the sail on the boat, and controlled the sail to the diagonal rear of the direction of the Guangchangping, because it was not a tailwind, the boat itself was not fast, but the Guangchangping itself was still moving, so the relative distance between the two boats quickly opened.

The ship turned around, and it was difficult for the ship to change the rudder, not to mention that there was chaos on the Guangchangping at the moment, and Fu Zhilong couldn't come back to answer for a while, so he let Dongmen Qing and others take advantage of the last moment of darkness before dawn to escape from this sea area. By the time the sky was bright, the situation in Guangchangping gradually stabilized, and there was no trace of the boat under the look.

The boat in which Dongmen Kei and others were located turned northwest after leaving the Guangchangping for some distance, and the south wind was blowing at this time, so the boat could use the wind to the northwest, so it walked very fast. After walking for more than two hours, seeing that the Guangchangping did not chase after them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Wei took out food and clean water to distribute to everyone, and also gave Yang Zhizhong a copy.

Zhang Yue'e received something, and suddenly screamed and cried, and shouted "Godfather!" Godfather! ”

Dongmen Qing grabbed her and hugged her, patted her head to soothe, and after a while, Zhang Yue'e gradually quieted down, seeing that it was already noon, it was extremely uncomfortable to let the sun shine without covering, but these sailors were used to it, and then Shen Wei asked: "Wang Gongzi, what is going on with this matter?" ”

It turned out that although they heard the news from Zhou Dafu that the owner of the ship was dead and the ship had changed greatly, they did not know what had happened. Dongmen Qingbi sign language, and wrote on the side of the boat to supplement, said what he saw and heard, and told some of his own guesses, Zhang Yue'e sadness gradually passed, listening to the side, and suddenly cried again, this time it was full of hatred and cried: "It's Zhang Yixing!" And Zhang Yisheng! It's the two of them! Then Zhang Changyi said that he was going to hand over the Guangchangping to Dongmenqing, how Zhang Yixing's brothers were dissatisfied, how Zhang Changyi scolded their brothers, how their brothers were angry, how Zhang Yisheng attacked He Wuxing, how Zhang Yixing killed his uncle, etc., every time he said a word, the sadness in his heart was less, and the anger in his mouth was a point higher, and finally he even jumped up and shouted to the east: "Revenge!" I'm going back for revenge! ”

Kavala and the others were horrified: "Don't do this! Beware of the boat capsizing! ”

Dongmen Qing hurriedly hugged her, patted and comforted, Zhang Yue'e cried and fell into Dongmen Qing's arms, very sad. Chen Baifu persuaded: "Miss Yue'e, don't be too sad, don't be too anxious, with us, sooner or later we will avenge the owner!" ”

Shuiyu Cai and the others were even more indignant, and shouted: "I finally have a foothold, and finally the main cultivation of Wang Gongzi is the main thing, seeing that we are about to rise the tide, but we encountered this incident!" The great opportunity was missed......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Wei shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" Now is not the time to talk about this! And he said, "The most important thing now is where are we going in the future?" ”

"yes." Chen Baifu said: "I don't know how far from the mainland is here, I don't know if there are islands nearby, if we haven't found the land before the water is drunk, I'm afraid we will all die here!" Not to mention any revenge. ”

One person suddenly said: "This is not far from the mainland. ”

When everyone heard this, they saw that it was Yang Zhizhong who spoke, Shen Wei had let go of his hand when he gave him something to eat just now, but he was not allowed to move or he would push him into the sea to feed the sharks, Yang Zhizhong was alone, and did not dare to resist, then he raised his hand and said: "Go in this direction, with the help of the wind and work hard to shake the oar, at most two days, at least one day, you should be able to find land - even if it is not a mainland, it is an offshore island." Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, although Yang Zhizhong's reputation was not as good as Zhang Changyi's, but he was also an old man at sea, and what he said was naturally very convincing! Chen Baifu and the others wanted everyone to be in the same boat at this time, if they couldn't find land, Yang Zhizhong would have to die, so forgive him for not lying.

Shen Wei said: "Since Lord Yang said so, then let's go in this direction." He was about to ask Shuiyu Cai to adjust the sails, and Yang Zhizhong suddenly said: "Actually, there is a better direction!" ”

Everyone was stunned, Chen Baifu asked what direction he was in, and Yang Zhizhong said: "Go back!" Go to the northeast, go to Guangchangping, Fuzhilong! ”

Zhou Dafu shouted: "Go back? You told us to go back? Doesn't that send us to death? We're not crazy! I'll listen to your crazy words! ”

"What crazy is this!" Yang Zhizhong said: "Now that Brother Zhang is dead, as soon as I go back, the fleet will count me the largest!" I didn't know you were wronged, but now I know! As soon as I can return to the fleet, I can help you rehabilitate immediately! In this way, not only will you be able to live, but I will even be able to preside over the matter of Wang Gongzi taking over Guangchangping! ”

Including Dongmen Qing, everyone was thrilled when they heard these words! When Zhou Dafu heard this, he nodded again and again, looked at Dongmenqing and waited for him to agree, Zhang Yue'e also raised her head and looked at Dongmenqing expectantly. Yang Zhizhong's words are so tempting, it seems that as long as you listen to his words, you can survive, get a boat, avenge your grievances, and take revenge...... All of these things can be done together! Dongmenqing almost nodded his head on the spot, but when his head was about to fall down, he suddenly stopped suddenly, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't know what he was doing!

"Prince Wang, what else are you considering?" Yang Zhizhong said: "Go back quickly!" Back to Guangchangping, you are the owner! He said to Zhang Yue'e: "Yue'e, persuade Wang Gongzi, as long as you go back with us, you can avenge your godfather immediately!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yue'e heard the reason, she raised her head to persuade Dongmenqing, but before she could say anything, she suddenly found that she had been held in Dongmenqing's arms from just now to now, she wanted to talk to Dongmenqing, and the breath in her mouth and nose would almost spray onto Dongmenqing's neck, and her face was flushed with shame for a while, but she remembered that it was a big thing to avenge her godfather, so she still persuaded in a low voice: "Prince Wang, we ...... Go back, with Uncle Yang in charge, you will definitely be able to help your godfather avenge! ”

"yes!" Yang Zhizhong said: "Let's go back quickly." ”

Hearing that the water fish Cai and the bullfrog had stood up here, they were about to turn the sail and turn the rudder, Dongmenqing suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them, not letting them move, everyone was stunned, Dongmenqing didn't care about them, looked up and meditated, and said in his heart: "What's the matter?" Why do I feel inappropriate? What upsets me? His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and they saw that everyone was full of expectations, and that expectation was no longer waiting for him to make a decision, but waiting for him to order the sail back!

"This atmosphere is not right!" Dongmen Qingxin said: "Everyone is too eager! His eyes fell on Yang Zhizhong, and when he saw that this old sea spirit in his fifties was motivating himself with his eyes, he said in his heart: "He is more anxious to go back than anyone else!" ”

"When the situation is complicated, think more about everyone's position!" Dongmen Qing remembered Dongmen Ba's words: "Don't listen to what they say in a high-sounding manner, in fact, they are all planning for themselves!" The reasons they put in their mouths are not their real intentions! ”

Why is Yang Zhizhong in a hurry to go back? Is it to save their group? In order to avenge Zhang Changyi? Or is it to make Dongmen Qing the owner? Apparently neither! Thinking about it this way, Dongmen Qing knew that Yang Zhizhong's words just now were all tempting himself, not out of sincerity!

"Now that the boat is back, the whole situation is completely out of my control!"

On this small boat, Dongmen Qing is the king! He can control almost everything, and Yang Zhizhong is completely under his control, but as soon as he returns to the Guangchang Ping Fuzhilong fleet, he can no longer restrain Yang Zhizhong, and whether his gang can rehabilitate, avenge, take revenge and even survive is all in Yang Zhizhong's thoughts!

However, is Yang Zhizhong trustworthy?

Dongmenqing suddenly remembered that the Zhang Yixing brothers had confessed that Yang Zhizhong was one of the people behind the kidnapping incident, although the Zhang brothers' words may not be fully believed, and from the fact that Yang Zhizhong would be attacked and held hostage by himself, it seems that Zhang Yixing, Zhang Yisheng brothers and Yang Zhizhong also have reservations, but the Zhang brothers can borrow cabins and boats from Fu Zhilong, so if Yang Zhizhong is clean in the kidnapping incident, even Zhang Changyi does not believe it, this is not only because there are clues of borrowing boats and cabins, What's more, if the kidnapping is successful, Yang Zhizhong will get considerable benefits!

"Benefits!" A light flashed in Dongmen Qing's mind like lightning: "That's right! Benefit! If he goes back this time, what will Yang Zhizhong do to best serve his interests? Revenge for us, avenge the owner, and preside over the delivery of Guangchangping to me? What good is it for him to do so? ”

This will not necessarily be beneficial to Yang Zhizhong, and it will even be disadvantageous, because he will set up a much more powerful competitor than Zhang Yixing within the fleet - that is, Dongmen Qing! And if Yang Zhizhong really colluded with Zhang Yixing and Zhang Yisheng, he also had to prevent the Zhang brothers from breaking out his ugly things under the dog jumping over the wall.

"So what if he acted the other way around?" Thinking of this, Dongmen Qing's heart sank, and he found that if Yang Zhizhong returned to the fleet and in turn drove them into a place of no return, then Guangchangping would fall into the hands of Zhang Yixing's brothers, and the leadership of the entire fleet would inevitably belong to Yang Zhizhong - Yang Zhizhong could even use Zhang Changyi's death to hold the Zhang brothers hostage, so as to take Guangchangping into his arms - isn't this his original purpose? Maybe Yang Zhizhong may not think so, but doing so is obviously in line with his interests! And if Yang Zhizhong doesn't think so, the only thing he can rely on is that he still has a conscience!

"Conscience?" Thinking of this, Dongmen Qing sneered, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made everyone on the boat look inexplicable, but Dongmen Qing had already stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the mainland, not the direction of the fleet!

"Wang Gongzi ......," Shen Wei said regretfully and puzzled.

"Prince Wang......" Zhang Yue's eyes were almost begging.

"Wang Gongzi ......," Zhou Dafu said as he paused again and again.

"Wang Gongzi ......" Brother Cai was scratching his head.

"Prince Wang......" Kavala was a little impatient.

But Dongmen Qing was still unmoved, he couldn't put all his chips on Yang Zhizhong's conscience! They may have wealth and fleets back to the fleet - these are tempting, but as Dongmen Ba taught him, "The greater the temptation, the deeper the trap!" "—Back in the fleet, they could lose their lives at any moment! And when they return to the mainland, they will continue to be destitute, but at least they can save their lives! Therefore, his hand pointed in the direction of the mainland, and no one else could question it!

Everyone looked at each other, and they were reluctant to do what he said, although Chen Baifu also wanted to return to the fleet, but seeing Dongmen Qing so insisting, he said in his heart: "In this group of people, I have the closest relationship with him, and I don't have the strength to lead this group of people myself, it is by helping him that I have today's status in this group of people!" Seeing that his appearance has been decided, I still help him. Otherwise, even if I can return to the fleet against his wishes, I won't get any benefit! Then he said: "Wang Gongzi's decision has never been missed!" There were several times when we didn't understand why he did this, but in hindsight we found out that his decision made a lot of sense, so I think it's better to listen to Wang Gongzi! ”

When everyone said this, they vaguely felt justified, and Zhou Dafu thought: "Why didn't he go back?" Are you worried about something? But no matter what, I survived by him, and without him to protect me, I wouldn't even be able to gain a foothold in this group! If he loses ground, I'll have to be unlucky. Then he said, "Yes! When did Wang Gongzi go wrong? He must have made the right decision! It's just that we don't understand it yet! ”

Shen Wei listened, and said in his heart: "The bullfrog and the water fish Cai brothers have no brains, after all, Kavala is a Nanyang student, Zhou Dafu is clever, and he has recently flattered Wang Gongzi repeatedly, but after all, he once hugged the thighs of the Francophile too tightly!" No matter what Wang Gongzi does, he will guard against him for two points. As long as I gain the trust of Wang Gongzi, I will be able to sit on an equal footing with Chen Baifu in this group of people! What's more, if we want to return to the fleet, if we want to get Guangchangping, we still have to rely on Wang Gongzi, without him, we will return to the fleet to have a fart! Then he also nodded and said: "I also think that Wang Gongzi's decision must have deep meaning!" ”

In fact, Dongmen Qing didn't miss it, but as soon as the three of them said this, everyone faintly felt that it seemed to be so, and Kavala said: "Since everyone said so, then let's listen to Wang Gongzi." ”

Shuiyu Cai and Bullfrog also said: "Then listen to Wang Gongzi." So saying, he went to spin the sails and rocked the oars.

Yang Zhizhong was in a hurry, and he wanted to encourage these people again, but suddenly saw Dongmen Qing's two eyes staring at him, as if he wanted to dig out the true intentions hidden in his heart, and swallowed the words of encouragement when he reached his mouth, and he didn't dare to say it again.

The boat went in the direction designated by Yang Zhizhong for two days and two nights, seeing that the water had run out and the land had not yet appeared, the people on the boat were irritable again, and Kavala first complained, saying that maybe he shouldn't have gone in this direction in the first place! Yang Zhizhong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if we had gone in the direction of the fleet, maybe we would have eaten meat and drank wine on the big ship now!" ”

Dongmen Qing was furious and glared at him, Zhou Dafu rolled his eyes, pointed at Yang Zhizhong and shouted: "God is also you, and ghosts are also you!" Didn't you say that you would be able to see land in two days at most and one day at least if you walked in this direction? How about now? ”

"yes!" Chen Baifu also said: "I think if we listen to you, we sail to the fleet, maybe we will die this time!" ”

As soon as the direction of anger shifted, the dissatisfaction of the boat was all vented to Yang Zhizhong! The bullfrog and the cavaramo fisted each other, and they were about to beat him out of anger, which frightened Yang Zhizhong to retreat, but how much room for maneuver was there in the small boat? only took a step back and went to the side of the ship, and suddenly a wave hit, the boat tilted, Yang Zhizhong was unstable, and fell into the sea with a bang.

The water fish Cai Kalava and the others actually didn't mean to kill him, and when they saw him fall into the water, they all reached out to save him, and their hands suddenly froze halfway, it turned out that the land appeared in the direction of Yang Zhizhong falling into the water! As soon as they caught a glimpse of land, they forgot everything, pointed to it and shouted, "There is land!" There's land! ”

The people on board were all jumping for joy, and it was dusk and the sun was about to set, but the boat was full of hope!

Suddenly, Shui Yu Cai seemed to remember something, shook his head and said to Kavala: "How did we meet just now?" ”

Kavala said, "We just stretched out our hands, and then suddenly our eyes saw that there seemed to be land in the distance......"

"But why are we reaching out?" Shuiyu Cai said.

"Not good!" Chen Baifu shouted: "What about Lord Yang? Yes! He's gone! ”
