The old man behind Meng Wenshan responded: "It is true that what I said is dozens of feet away, and I can hear it very clearly next to me." ”

"Good, good, good!" The one-eyed old man said hello three times in a row, his shriveled eye sockets began to twitch, and the muscles on his face trembled and twisted, needless to say, he knew that the old man was suffering unspeakable pain.

"Second uncle, don't worry, your body is important!" Meng Wenshan turned behind the old man, put his hands on his shoulders, and began to gently massage the acupoints behind his neck.

After a moment of silence, the white-haired and one-eyed old man let out a sigh of relief, and his body relaxed, leaning softly on the chair, but the only remaining eye was bright, looking straight into the distance, muttering something in his mouth.

"Wenshan, a few of you go to the ancestral hall with me, I, Mencius, am going to tell the ancestors that I have fulfilled the oath! The Meng family's big revenge can be avenged, and the big revenge can be avenged! ”

The ancestral hall of the Meng family is a three-fold three-entry pattern, and the lobby full of tablets is quiet and silent, only the immortal thousand-year-old incense emits curling smoke, lingering in front of the hall. The passing years are like carving knives, carving each fresh life into a name, quietly lined up together silently.

The white-haired and one-eyed Mencius Yan was in the first place, and five people prostrate on the ground to pay homage to the ancestors and ancestors, Mencius cried after the ceremony, and then looked up to the sky and smiled, and several descendants of Meng Wenshan also sighed and wept.

"Thank God for opening your eyes! I, Mencius, deserved to die forty years ago, but I can't swallow this breath! endure the poison of the arrow every day, and survive until now, hahaha! I must personally set fire to the Dazhai on Sanshan Island, and respectfully invite the remains of the old patriarch to go home!

The past of Mengjia Yuzhai forty years ago, only this Meng Wenshan knows the inside story, the old patriarch of the year did not encounter a tornado, nor did the sea god get angry and need to sacrifice to the sea. Instead, it was plundered by the Black Tiger flagship of Sanshan Island, a big boat and forty-eight men of the Meng family, except for Mencius Yan, who was sacrificed by the old patriarch to protect him by jumping into the sea to escape, the rest were all killed, and his head died on the island.

Mencius strictly remembered the old patriarch's advice, before there was a weapon that could breathe fire, don't tell the truth to the family of the fishing village, and live well to continue the bloodline. When he jumped into the sea, he was struck by a poisoned arrow, and the old patriarch was pierced all over his body with a bow and arrow, and he held the knife for a long time.

The old patriarch's deathbed instructions may be a casual remark, how do he know what the weapon that can breathe fire dragon is, and its purpose is also to protect the descendants in the fishing village. Before this incident, although there were encounters between pirates and the Meng family's fishing boats, most of them were fishing boats that avoided from afar, and the pirates would not chase after them. It is really impossible to avoid that when they meet together, the Meng family will hand over some silver taels or fish and shrimp caught, and the pirates have never killed the people of the Meng family.

And Mencius, who escaped death, returned to the fishing village, and really kept his mouth shut, and did not reveal that it was a pirate who robbed the ship and killed people, saying that he encountered a tornado in the sea, so the ship was destroyed and people died. It wasn't until many years later that he showed his tone to Meng Wenshan little by little, the pirates of Sanshan Island are the feud of my Meng family's fishing village, but the time is not yet ripe, the strength of the fishing village is limited, and the killing of the boatman has not been said.

In recent decades, the Mengjia fishing village has been bent on developing its strength, opening the fishing village wharf to attract surrounding fishermen and merchants to do business, and the men are not discriminated against, and the people who have been displaced here have been taken in. The fishing village is gradually thriving, the business influence of the wharf market is increasing, and the nearby sea area is rich, and the seafood produced is outstanding.

In addition to working on the boat and running the dock business, everyone can dance with knives and sticks, otherwise there are not so many young and strong children to participate in the village soldiers. But compared with these strengths and pirates, it is too much worse, the Black Tiger Banner of Sanshan Island has been standing for hundreds of years, and no one has ever hurt its roots.

The navy division of the Great Song Dynasty government has encircled and suppressed many times, but the Sanshan Island has a special terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the surrounding sea areas are full of reefs, there is no detailed chart, and the big ships of the navy division have lost several big ships before they get close. After several defeats, the generals of the sailors were reluctant to go to Sanshan Island to encircle and suppress the pirates, so the people gathered under the banner of the black tigers on the island became more and more encountered, and so far it is said that there were more than a dozen four-masted sailing boats, and there were more than six or seven hundred pirates on the island.

On the Black Tiger flagship ship, hundreds of people such as archers and giant crossbowmen can be planted, and they can fire huge crossbow arrows with barbs, and a cable with copper wire is tied to the back.

Although the pirates of Sanshan Island are rampant, they are not very stable internally, except for the main peak Black Tiger Banner that has been changed, the leaders of the other two islands do not know how many times they have changed, anyway, they are all stronger than the other, and the predecessors are basically killed on the beach.

The owner of the Black Tiger Banner is surnamed Xiao, and it is rumored that his ancestor was a Jin royal family from the north, who lost the battle for the throne and fled all the way to here along the sea. Afraid of being chased and killed on land, he fled to Sanshan Island and entrenched himself, but he didn't expect it to develop, and with more and more merchant ships trading at sea, the pirate business became more and more prosperous.

If you want to say that they have more than ten or twenty clippers and eight hundred outlaws, what kind of climate can they become? In this water, which is less than 200 miles from Quanzhou Port, it can survive tenaciously, and of course, there are reasons why various forces compromise with each other. If it is more serious, the city division will pay for the grain, and the sailor battalion will send ships and troops, and they will all starve to death if they surround Sanshan Island, and they will not need to send people to the island to attack at all.

When the first generation of the Black Tiger Flag was hung on the bow of the ship by Xiao Zhiyuan, the ships of Sanshan Island were not pirates, but small businesses that helped merchant ships lead the way, and when they had a little strength, they began to do some small business of wholesale hoarding. Some merchant ships from India in the South Seas are not sold in time, but they urgently need cash to buy goods and load them, so Sanshan Island has become a wholesaler and can get some low-priced first-hand goods.

At this time, Xiao Zhiyuan personally experienced the prosperity and wealth of the land south of the Yangtze River, and established a very friendly relationship with the city boss, in order to better survive, he chose to be someone else's knife first.

Quanzhou City Bo Si that is the fattest Yamen of Quanzhou Port, you want any businessman to make a fortune, just a piece of paper, no matter how big you are a merchant ship and how good a business, in front of the City Bo Si all have to bow their heads. Whether it is the relationship between other officials or the private goods of a certain prince in Lin'an, if you don't figure it out in the city, you don't want to enter the port to unload the goods.

But in the face of interests, there will always be discordant voices, contradictions and conflicts occur every day, at this time the city boss needs a knife to teach some people he is not satisfied with, and the best place is on the vast sea.

And the first one to resist this knife was Xiao Zhiyuan!
