The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is refreshing.

Sakura Island's reel-laden ship gradually approached, and the pirates were busy transporting the looted goods to shore.

Ling Wulang didn't get off the boat, and was still lingering with the woman he had snatched in the ship's room.

This is a woman of the Great Song Dynasty, tall and tall, with fair skin, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. This is the beautiful young woman who was discovered by her husband with her husband's cousin Wang Xiaobao (qíng).

Ling Goro was very happy when he got him back, but he didn't dare to take him back to the island, so he kept him on a boat, and he spent most of the year at sea anyway.

At this moment, someone came over to report: "Fifth master, there is a floating corpse floating on the shore, it looks like a person from the Song Dynasty, but it is not dead yet, what should I do." ”

Ling Wulang was in the moment of agitation (qíng), and said impatiently: "What do you ask about such a trivial matter, if you can save it, you will throw it into the cabin to shake the oar, and it just so happens that several people have died in the past few days." ”

The little pirate didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly went out and asked someone to carry the "floating corpse" on the ship, stepped on it again, and sat on it again, and after a rough press, the "floating corpse" opened its mouth and spit out a lot of water.

When the pirates saw this, they knew that the man could not die, so they called a few men, carried him to the ship, and threw him into the hold and handed him over to the shipwright.

Ling Wulang lingered with the woman for a while before hurriedly getting off the boat and stepping on Sakura Island to go home. His wife, Genmiko, greeted him from afar, hugged his arm and said greasyly, "Husband, you're back, I miss you." ”

"Hehe, I miss you too, see I brought you a gift." As he spoke, he handed a snatched jade wrench to Genmiko.

Genmiko smiled and said, "I'm not rare of these things, I'm only rare of you." ”

Ling Wulang had just retreated, so he had to snort and say, "How is the family doing?" ”

"That's not it, if Qianxue's girl is so ignorant, our Ling family's position in the six major families may be replaced at any time." Genmiko said to Ling Goro with an expectant expression: "Qianxue is the closest to you, you go and persuade her, as long as she marries the son of the Fujiwara family, the Fujiwara family will support us." ”

Ling Wulang flicked his sleeves and said, "What do you know, marrying Fujiwara will offend the other four families, and the situation will be even worse." ”

"Then what should I do, sooner or later, our Ling family will be killed by this (rì) number one beauty." Genmei

Zi said hatefully.

"Leave this alone, I'll go see my father in the evening and see what he has in mind. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to sleep for a while. ”

Ling Wulang got rid of his wife and went back to the house to lie down, but he couldn't sleep at all, his mind was full of family affairs.

The Ling family on Sakura Island is a large pirate family, not only one of the 36 Island Alliance, but also one of the six major families in the 36 Islands, and controls the porcelain business of the entire capital. It can be described as black and white, and the wealth is abundant.

However, although Sakura Island is strong, it is the last of the six families, and there are also some strong people in the 36 islands who are stupid (yù) and want to squeeze them out of the six families at any time.

Recently, the conflict between Sakura Island and the other five families has escalated again, putting the Ling family in an unprecedented crisis.

The reason is that Ling Wulang's niece, Ling Saburo's daughter Ling Qianxue is too beautiful, known as the first beauty in Dongying, and the person who beats his idea can almost line up from Sakura Island in the capital. Whether it is an important minister of the court or a pirate family, as long as there is an unmarried son in the family, they all want to get this first beauty.

Over time, this matter has become a comparison, whoever can marry the first beauty of the Ling family is the real strong in the eyes of the world.

This made Ling Jianyi, the head of the Ling family and Ling Qianxue's grandfather, embarrassed, and he could ignore the imperial court and other little pirates, but he couldn't afford to offend any of the five pirate families above. If he marries his granddaughter to one of them, he will inevitably offend the other four, and it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold on Sakura Island.

Moreover, her granddaughter Ling Qianxue is not an ordinary weak woman, she helped her family take care of the porcelain business in the capital, and monopolized the porcelain market in the capital within two years. She has a sweetheart herself, and she doesn't agree to marry those gentlemen of the five major families.

What to do?

This matter has become the top priority of the Ling family.

At this moment, the incomparably beautiful Ling Qianxue herself is also worried about this matter, she is hiding in her boudoir and planning, thinking, and entangled.

She was doing business in the capital, and was madly pursued by the imperial court Yulin general Kitano Xiongfeng, who was in a high position at a young age (shēn), and was talented and martial, and his appearance and conversation were unusually outstanding, and the two (qíng) were in agreement, and they originally planned to be together.

However, the problem is that although Kitano Xiongfeng served in the imperial court, his clan was a small pirate family, and if he married Ling Qianxue, those big families would be furious

It is highly likely that the Kitanoya will be flattened.

At the critical moment, Kitano retreated, but Ling Qianxue didn't blame him, because her own family was facing the same predicament, and she could understand Kitano's difficulties.

After careful consideration, Kitano Yufeng came up with an idea to her, and she felt horrified when she heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also a good way, so she came back today to tell her grandfather about it.

After dinner in the evening, Ling Qianxue came to her grandfather Ling Jianyi's residence and bowed to him.

Ling Jianyi said with a melancholy face: "Qianxue, in a month it will be the triennial alliance leader meeting, grandpa doesn't expect the Ling family to seize the position of alliance leader, but at least to protect the cherry blossom island where we are alive." ”

"Grandpa has any ideas?" Ling Qianxue asked

Ling Jianyi shook his head and said: "If it really doesn't work, you can marry the kid of the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family has developed rapidly in recent years, and several worship martial arts are getting higher and higher, and they have the potential to seize the alliance leader, with the protection of his family, we may be better." ”

"Grandpa, the Kuroda family is indeed strong, but the current alliance leader Matsuyama family is not weak, although the other families are not obvious, but who knows how many hole cards they have?" Ling Qianxue retorted.

Ling Jianyi frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, but what to do?" ”

"Grandpa, I have a solution."

Ling Jian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Come and listen." ”

"Grandpa can claim that the Ling family's business is inseparable from Qianxue, so he can't get married, and then I will find a random (jiàn) citizen to make him a son-in-law. In this way, no one will lose face, and the five major families will not say anything, and we can at least maintain the current balance situation. ”

"Isn't that too wronged for you?" Ling Jianyi asked, "Could it be that the general Beiye you are talking about is willing to join my Ling family?" ”

Ling Qianxue shook her head and said, "It's not Kitano, if that's the case, it will push our Ling family and Kitano family to the forefront." I'm talking about finding a person who doesn't care about anyone (jiàn), and when this time is over, I'll cut him with a knife. That's me a widow, and no one cares. ”

"And what do you do?"

Ling Qianxue pursed her lips and smiled: "This is Kitano's idea, I will not have a relationship with that (jiàn) citizen, and when he dies, I can be with Kitano." ”

"That's a good idea." Ling Jian clapped his hands and shouted.
