The hazy moonlight sprinkled all over the land, and the stars dotted in the sky twinkled like fireflies flying. When Ouyang Xiaoling left from her father's small wooden building, it was already the middle of the night.

Standing at the small gate of the courtyard, I looked back and saw that the balcony on the second floor of the wooden building was still brightly lit. Ouyang Xiaolingqiao showed a stubborn look on her face, and said in a low voice: "Dad, our Ouyang family should no longer be at the mercy of anyone, not even the Fusang Sect. ”

A resolute expression gradually appeared on her pretty face, and Ouyang Xiaoling hurriedly left outside the mansion with the two inseparable maids.

The wharf, which was lively during the day, was silent in the night, and after the removal of the Japanese pirates, it became the garrison of the Dongjiang Army. The trade at the wharf has also been handed over to the Chen family to take care of, but unfortunately, the sea is still not calm, and merchant ships cannot sail for trade.

However, not everyone is afraid of death, and in the face of great benefits, there will always be greedy people who risk their lives to go to sea.

Huge interests drove these people to leave their lives behind, and their only thought at the moment was that when they returned, they would also become human beings and join the upper class of the city.

Watching the merchant ship loaded with goods slowly leave the dock, Mao Wenlong shook his head with a wry smile helplessly. Although there is no threat of pirates on this sea now, there are countless pirates and dangers overseas, and these people who have no experience in long-distance sailing can control them.

"Commander-in-chief, why don't we send troops to escort them, lest they suffer disaster." Cheng Zuo's face was a little unbearable.

Those who run the sea are hard-working people, and if they don't come to a dead end, who will abandon their families and children to embark on this adventurous road. Coupled with the commendable courage of these people, Chengzuo was also moved by compassion.

Mao Wenlong shook his head: "No need, I can protect them for a while, but I can't protect them for a lifetime." What should be faced still has to be faced, and only tempering can make them grow themselves. The flowers in the greenhouse can never withstand the wind and waves, and if you want to have a profit, you must pay accordingly. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong turned to look at Cheng Zuo and asked, "Can the soldiers and horses sent by the Chen family arrive in time tomorrow?" ”

Cheng Zuo replied: "If there is no accident, it will come early tomorrow morning." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded: "That's good, you let everyone rest early tonight, early tomorrow morning, after the Chen family arrives, they will immediately set sail to attack Xiangjiang Island." ”

"Yes, Commander!" Cheng Zuo said yes, and then left alone.

Mao Wenlong was the only one standing on the shore of the pier, looking at the starry sky, and he suddenly began to miss his family. Haoda and the four guards saw that Mao Wenlong was pondering, and did not dare to step forward to disturb, so they quietly retreated a few meters away, quietly hiding in the dark.

"When will the strife in the world be the head!" After a long time, Mao Wenlong suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

"The chief soldier is so elegant, but he sighed at Mingyue, I wonder if he is interested in drinking two glasses with the little girl?" A small boat silently came to Mao Wenlong.

A shadow on the bow of the ship slowly appeared from the darkness, and Mao Wenlong looked for prestige, and suddenly frowned. The person who came was none other than Ouyang Xiaoling, who quietly left home.

In the middle of the night, Ouyang Xiaoling suddenly appeared here, obviously not for no reason. Mao Wenlong looked at her in a circle, but he didn't find anyone else, the whole small boat had Ouyang Xiaoling herself and the two fierce women who were rocking in the stern.

"Men and women don't kiss, in the middle of the night, we drink alone in this desolate place, I'm afraid it will ruin Miss Ouyang's reputation......" The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of evil smile.

Before he finished his words, Ouyang Xiaoling immediately rolled her eyes, covered her mouth and smiled nonchalantly: "I didn't expect the chief soldier to be such a cliché person." The little woman originally thought that the general soldier must not be comparable to those ordinary people, but it seemed that the little woman was too wishful thinking. ”

"Sharp teeth!" This was the first thought that popped into Mao Wenlong's heart. As a result, I also had a trace of interest in the harmless woman in front of me, but the inside was incomprehensible.

Besides, Mao Wenlong had always had a puzzle in his heart, that is, when he met Ouyang Xiaoling for the first time, the hurried glance and the deeply hidden murderous intent might be able to solve the puzzle tonight.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong was no longer polite, and after the boat docked, he strode onto the boat. Behind him there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps and the unsheath of the saber.

Mao Wenlong didn't need to turn around to know that it was Haoda and they were coming, and he waved his hand to stop Haoda and the others from following the boat. Haoda hesitated very much after receiving the order, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey Mao Wenlong's wishes, so he could only stay on the shore with the four guards and keep an eye on the boat.

Ouyang Xiaoling saw Mao Wenlong's atmosphere, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "It's okay for the chief soldier to bring two guards by his side, Ouyang Xiaoling doesn't mind." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "No need, if you are here to plot against me tonight, then you will do it just now, and you don't have to wait until now." ”

Ouyang Xiaoling gave an appreciative look when she heard this, and then turned around and motioned to the swaying maid to stop the boat and not go too far from the shore. This distance was just where they could all see, and it was clear that she didn't want them to worry too much.

Tonight, Ouyang Xiaoling came quietly, and it was not suitable for the whole city to know, so there was no need to let Mao Wenlong's guards panic too much, so as not to alarm the other guards, it would not end well.

In the middle of the boat was a small table with three dishes of dishes, a pot of wine, and two small glass wine glasses. After Ouyang Xiaoling invited Mao Wenlong to sit down, she filled up the wine, and then said lightly: "Thank you for the general soldier's willingness to talk to the little girl, this glass of wine The little woman will do it first as a respect." ”

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Xiaoling didn't wait for Mao Wenlong to respond, and raised her head and drank a glass of wine. This is Ouyang Xiaoling proving that the wine is not poisonous, and at the same time showing favor to Mao Wenlong.

This move made Mao Wenlong very puzzled, after all, in his cognition, Ouyang Xiaoling in front of him had killed him. At this moment, it is unusual, but it is showing favor to himself.

The woman's heart was needled, Mao Wenlong couldn't guess it anymore, he quietly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine. Then he looked at Ouyang Xiaoling and said, "No matter what you have to talk to General Ben tonight, before that, I hope you can solve my doubts first." ”

Ouyang Xiaoling didn't seem surprised, she nodded indifferently: "The chief soldier doesn't have to be polite." ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then said bluntly: "If Mao is not mistaken, when we met for the first time, you killed Mao, I don't know why?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the boat immediately solidified, and Ouyang Xiaoling fell into silence directly, and did not respond to Mao Wenlong for a long time.
