Li Yan is a scholar, he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so decisive and fierce, and he was suddenly a little frightened in his heart, lest he do something that is difficult to control.

However, now that he couldn't explain in detail, he couldn't drink harshly, Li Yan could only say in a different tone: "There is a big melee on the other side now, Lord Ji is in the middle of the formation, I can't tell it, if I kill the wrong person, won't I make a big trouble?" ”

Even Xing'er begged: "My young master is inside, you have to be careful, don't hurt my young master!" ”

Zheng Zhilong listened to Li Yan, a scholar, speak categorically, and listened to Xing'er, a weak woman, pleading sincerely, but he didn't dare to just follow his temperament, and immediately ordered his subordinates to withdraw the long knife and drive everyone away with only the scabbard.

Zheng Zhilong's identity is a ship owner and a maritime merchant at best, but if he is called by the word "pirate", there is nothing wrong with it.

Because of this, all of the sailors under him are by no means good, and many of them are desperate to be chased by the government because of murder and overkill, so they ran to the sea to save their lives.

Therefore, when these people listened to Zheng Zhilong's order, they would only feel that the order was too soft-hearted, but they would not hesitate at all, and without saying a word, they rushed forward, raised the scabbard in their hands, and beat the weavers in the melee.

It was the middle of the night, and even though the torches and pines were lit, the battlefield was still only blurred. In addition, this group of pirates did not have any friendship with the weavers on weekdays, so they could not distinguish the difference between the two groups at all, so they simply attacked them regardless of the good and the low.

Whether it is the weavers on Ji Qingwen's side or Miss Shen's side, they are actually law-abiding and good citizens, how can they withstand such a sudden pursuit by pirates? However, in a moment, they had been beaten and retreated, but they also happened to separate the two sides from the middle, and no longer scuffled into a mess, and the situation became clear.

Ji Qingwen was in the scuffle just now, and he was beaten with a stick in the head, and he was still a little dizzy, and he didn't know what was going on.

He looked up and saw that there were suddenly dozens of fierce and vicious characters around him, but he didn't know where they came from and what their plans were, and he was suddenly a little frightened, and was just about to ask about their identities, but Zheng Zhilong's voice came from his ears: "Lord Ji, are you okay?" ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he immediately recognized Zheng Zhilong's identity, and hurriedly replied loudly with joy: "Is it the owner of Zheng?" You've finally arrived, I'...... I didn't ......."

Before the word "matter" could be spoken, Ji Qingwen suddenly dizzy, countless Venus stars flew in front of him, and his legs were weak and he was almost paralyzed on the ground.

Huang Degong, who was still beside him, was quick to move, and he held Ji Qingwen and shouted loudly: "Dongjia, Dongjia, don't you die...... I haven't received my salary for this month......"

Ji Qingwen was actually not seriously injured, he was shouted by Huang Degong in his ear, he suddenly regained his strength, stood up with support, raised his hand and punched Huang Degong's thick chest, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is about to burp, you still think about money......"

As soon as he finished scolding, Ji Qingwen saw that Huang Degong's face was beaten blue and purple, and the corners of his eyes were also opened, and blood was coming out of the mouth, and he was a little distressed, so he said again: "Meritorious, you have made a great contribution today, and I will reward you with fifty taels of silver when you go back." ”

When Huang Degong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he thanked Ji Qingwen with a thousand thanks, and said countless words of gratitude.

At this time, Li Yan also caught up, and seeing that Ji Qingwen was still in good spirits, and he was not missing arms or legs, he finally put his mind at ease and said: "Brother Ji, the so-called 'gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall', next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can't be so reckless anymore!" ”

Xing'er, who followed Li Yan, was already distressed and teary-eyed.

Ji Qingwen greeted them, and then complained to Zheng Zhilong: "Ship Master Zheng, we have made an appointment, why are you late?" It hurt me to get this beating in vain......"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately got up embarrassed, scratched his head and apologized.

A few people were talking, but they heard the eldest lady of the Shen family on the other side speak again: "Okay, good for you, the weaving admiral Ji Qingwen, as an official of the imperial court and a minister of the Qin Mission, you actually dare to entangle the bandits and pirates, are you going to rebel?" ”

Ji Qingwen had already come to her senses at this time, and knew that the "pirate" she was referring to was Zheng Zhilong, so she tried to stand up straight and still a little shaky, and retorted: "Pirate? You're talking about this Zheng Shipowner, right? He has the court survey in hand, but he is not a pirate. ”

Miss Shen was at a loss, she had nothing to say, and pointed at Huang Degong and said, "What about this man?" Isn't he a bandit? ”

Although Huang Degong is brave, he is an ordinary and honest farmer, so when he heard Miss Shen say this, he was anxious on the spot, and puffed out his cheeks and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I be a thief?" ”

Miss Shen said: "You look so fierce, what are you not a thief?" ”

Huang Degong said with some grievances: "What I look like, my parents gave birth to me." I was born like this, was I born a thief? ”

"Humph!" Miss Shen said again, "What about the big scar on your face?" At first glance, it is a knife wound left by a brave fight, it is not a bandit, it is a ringing horse! ”

Huang Degong has a scar that runs through the top and bottom of his face, red and purple, and he twists left and right when he speaks, which looks quite terrifying.

What is rare is that although Huang Degong looks rude, he also has a heart for beauty, this scar is the biggest pain in his heart, and now it has been exposed again, and he suddenly said angrily: "This is Lao Tzu when he was a child who went up the mountain to collect firewood, rolled down the mountain, and was scratched by a branch, what?" Isn't that okay? ”

Li Yan on the side also answered: "Miss Shen, I think you are also a beautiful girl, and you must be full of poetry and books." I don't know how many times you have referred to the deer as a horse here today, do you want to learn from Qin Zhao Gao's actions? ”

When Miss Shen heard this, she immediately became angry and scolded, "You...... You say I'm a eunuch...... You hurt people with your mouth...... You speak out......"

Here, Ji Qingwen couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "What are we talking about with her?" Master Zheng, these sailors under your command are powerful, quickly drive the group of people in front of you away, and then we have to hand over the silk and silver taels! ”

Zheng Zhilong is also a cheerful person, and immediately agreed, and asked: "Master Ji, just now your master told me not to draw a knife and not to kill or injure people." But now you have to drive people out, and you need to be rude...... Seems a little harder, right? ”

Ji Qingwen is a smart person, and as soon as he heard it, he figured out what was going on, so he said, "Brother Li Yan told you, right?" He's right. You can't kill someone, but it's okay to draw a knife to scare someone. Listen to me, the people here are not very bold, and you and your men can scare them away by drawing their knives, shouting twice, and stomping their feet! ”

Zheng Zhilong had Ji Qingwen's approval, and suddenly became interested, and greeted the sailors under his command loudly: "Little ones, have you heard it?" Arrange me in two rows, pull out the knife for me, and see which one dares to try the knife! ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zhilong actually took the lead, took the lead in pulling out a five-foot-long knife from his waist, and walked slowly forward with a slow but firm step.

Behind him, more than thirty sailors lined up in two rows according to the order, and they also drew their long knives and followed behind Zheng Zhilong, taking neat steps and shouting rhythmically "Whew!" Call! The trumpet pressed the weaver on the other side.

After the scuffle just now, the morale of those weavers, which was not very high, was even lowered, and one of them suddenly saw the appearance of the long knife in Zheng Zhilong's hand, and immediately exclaimed: "Wakako! It's a wolf! The Woko are here again! Run, everybody! ”

When he shouted like this, it was as if he had thrown a cannon battle in the pit, and the already sparse team suddenly exploded, and everyone could no longer care about any reward or rice bowl, so they scattered and ran away.

In the blink of an eye, in addition to the serious injuries to his legs and feet, who were really unable to move, the weavers who came to look for Ji Qingwen's trouble had already walked cleanly, leaving only the eldest lady of the Shen family, under the escort of several entourage, her face was red with anger.
