After Lihui agreed to let the four men who had been chased by the pirates onto his ship, he ordered to set sail again. Because he found traces of the Japanese invaders, Lihui did not dare to let the ship walk back to the channel, but sailed a few hundred meters away from the channel.

Deviation from the course may lead to unknown dangers, but it is better than being targeted by the pirates. Regarding Lihui's decision, Mao Wenlong did not interfere.

He doesn't know anything about sailing, and interfering in vain is likely to make things worse. In short, he believed in Lihui, so he didn't interfere much.

The scholar who was shot by a stray arrow died shortly after boarding the ship, and the arrow directly injured his internal organs, and there was no clever doctor on board.

Although the young girl has been begging Mao Wenlong to save his brother, it is a pity that Mao Wenlong can't help it, so he can only watch the young scholar leave.

When the scholar was dying, he begged Mao Wenlong to send his sister back to Hancheng, Shaanxi, but when Mao Wenlong did not agree, the scholar had already lost his breath.

"Brother...... Brother...... Whining....... ”

The girl cried very sadly, no matter how much the two guards tried to persuade her, the girl just kept holding her dead brother and crying to death.

The girl's helpless look touched Mao Wenlong's compassion, and he asked someone to call Chen Lan and let her take care of the girl. Then, after consulting with his two guards, he threw the corpse of the dead scholar directly into the sea.

At this point, the ship was temporarily peaceful, and the three brothers of the Lijia family had no opinion and drove their boat with peace of mind.

In the cabin, the girl snuggled in Chen Lan's arms, her expression was still very sad, but she no longer cried as she did at the beginning.

"Sister, where are you, and what is your name, can you tell my sister? By the way, my sister's surname is Chen Minglan, and the man who let you get on the boat just now is my sister's father-in-law. Seeing that the girl's mood had stabilized, Chen Lan lost no time in finding out the girl's identity.

When he came to pick up the girl, Mao Wenlong had already instructed Chen Lan to find an opportunity to find out the girl's true identity.

The girl didn't seem to have any resistance to the only woman on the boat, and when she asked her name, she didn't think about it and said, "Sister Lan, my sister's ancestral home is Nan'an County, Quanzhou. Daddy Hong Chengchou is Hancheng participating in politics, and the one who died is my second brother Chengwan, I am the youngest child in the family named Ziyan. ”

Chen Lan didn't know Hong Chengchou, so he wasn't surprised when he revealed Hong Ziyan's true identity. patted Zi Yan's shoulder and comforted: "Sister Zi Yan, people can't be resurrected after death, I believe that your brother is in the spirit of heaven, and I don't want you to be sad all day long for his departure, I'm hungry, my sister will go find you something to eat, and then you can rest well, and see what you are haggard into." ”

Zi Yan obviously trusted Chen Lan very much, and did not have any doubts, so she nodded and agreed. Chen Lan let him lie on his bed, and then got up to leave.

Guarding the door were the two guards who followed Zi Yan, as well as the vast and the small, and after Chen Lan instructed them to take care of Zi Yan, they went out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Mao Wenlong had been waiting on the deck for a long time, and when he saw Chen Lan come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Did the girl tell her real identity? ”

Chen Lan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ziyan has already said that her father is Hong Chengchou, and now he is participating in politics in Hancheng, Shaanxi." And the dead scholar is her second brother Chengwan! ”

"Hong Chengchou!" As soon as Mao Wenlong heard this name, he immediately exclaimed.

At this time, Chen Jisheng, who was behind him, interjected: "Dudu, in this way, this person is still the son of the Ming housekeeper, are we ......." ”

Chen Jisheng stretched out his hand and gestured on his neck, the meaning was obvious, that is, to ask Mao Wenlong if he wanted to kill them all.

Chen Lan's face changed slightly when she saw it, she felt that she was still quite in love with Hong Ziyan, and she also liked her from the bottom of her heart. Seeing that Chen Jisheng was going to kill them, Chen Lan couldn't help but be shocked.

Mao Wenlong knows the trend of history, and he knows the matter of Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou is a talented person, and he is a decisive general.

Although he knew that he was finally recruited by Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong now has his daughter in his hands, if he doesn't take the opportunity to win him over, how can Mao Wenlong be willing.

With Mao Wenlong, who had appeased Hong Chengchou's thoughts, he was naturally unwilling to kill this Zi Yan. On the contrary, he also wants to take the opportunity to win the heart of this Zi Yan, and it is best to be able to marry her.

Mao Wenlong, who had made up his mind, shook his head and said to Chen Jisheng: "Don't act rashly, I have other arrangements for this matter." ”

"Yes, Dudu!" Although Chen Jisheng was puzzled in his heart, he didn't say much, and left on his own after hugging his fists.

Mao Wenlong turned to look at Chen Lan and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, Xianggong has something I hope you can help me." ”

Chen Lan is already dead set on Mao Wenlong now, let alone helping, even to block arrows for him, it is estimated that Chen Lan will not hesitate at this time.

"Xianggong, please speak! As long as Xiaolan can do it, he will do it. Chen Lan said very sincerely.

Mao Wenlong was not easy to speak at this time, after all, he wanted his wife to persuade a woman who had just met for less than half a day to marry him.

This is also in ancient times, if it is in modern times, it is estimated that Chen Lan will have to stab himself to death with a knife.

Mao Wenlong thought about it for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Xiaolan, you have to believe that Xianggong's love for you has always been the same. Wait for something that asks you for help, and you will think carefully before answering. Even if you don't agree, Xianggong won't have any complaints against you. ”

Seeing that Mao Wenlong said solemnly, Chen Lan was also very serious: "Xianggong, it's okay, you can say it!" Your love for Xiaolan, Xiaolan knows. ”

At this point, Mao Wenlong had nothing to scruple about, and muttered in Chen Lan's ear for a while. Tell Chen Lan what he thinks in his heart completely.

Mao Wenlong finally smiled bitterly and said: "So don't misunderstand that it is Xianggong, seeing that other girls are beautiful and lustful." It's that Xianggong really needs to win over other people's fathers, and the best way is to marry his daughter and become a family with this Hong Chengchou. ”

Chen Lan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and there was no reluctance as Mao Wenlong imagined. And blushed and smiled: "Xianggong, Xiaolan knows, don't worry, Xiaolan will do his best to help Xianggong marry Ziyan's sister." ”

Such an answer and performance were indeed beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations, so much so that he began to wonder if Chen Lan was talking angrily.

"Aren't you angry at all?" Mao Wenlong, who was full of suspicion, couldn't help but confirm carefully.

"Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about." Chen Lan gave Mao Wenlong a blank look, then turned around and walked towards the ship's galley alone.
