The Daifuku ship sailed in the South China Sea, and the second-floor cabin was crowded with the families of the Tortoiseshell Harbor soldiers, while some people were calling the names of their loved ones, some were praying silently, and some were serving the wounded......

Guo Yi, Xu Ling'er, Mark and others were all busy on the third deck, Luo Amin stood at the stern of the boat with his daughter in his arms, staring at the sea with a dull gaze, and Louise was tied to the pillar under the Hongyi cannon, letting out a miserable howl; At this moment, Zhang Gou'er was looking at the nautical chart in a daze, not knowing what to do now......

At this moment, a helmsman came running and said, "Brother dog, where are we heading now?" ”

"Everything is subject to Madame's arrangement, do you still have any questions?" Zhang Gou'er replied. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

"But ......" the helmsman looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said in a hesitant voice: "According to the direction commanded by Guo Qianhu, now we are going to the mainland, Brother Dog, do you know, if you have a way to live on the mainland, will you still be exiled to Luzon?" ”

"We don't have enough fresh water on our ship, it's getting late now, and pirates from Annam and Java are rampant......"

Before Zhang Gou'er finished speaking, the helmsman with a nervous expression waved his hand and said: "Brother Dog, hurry up and ask Madame to make a decision, dozens of sailor brothers are resolutely unwilling to return to the mainland, I am worried that they will have to clash with the two thousand households soon." ”

This question is indeed very tricky, so Zhang Gou'er rushed in to find Luo Amin and shouted softly: "Auntie, auntie......"

shouted several times in a row, Luo Amin didn't pay attention, Lin Aying broke free of her mother's hand, ran to the dog's approach, and asked in a childish voice, "Brother, where are we going now?" ”

Zhang Gou'er's eyes moistened, hugged Xiao Aying, and silently shed tears......

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise near the conning tower, and dozens of sailors were seen besieging the temporary captain Mark......

Someone was asking loudly: "You red-haired ghost, where are you directing us to go?" ”

"Do you want to send us back to the mainland to find our death? Don't forget, you can't live as a missionary. ”

……

It can be seen that they don't dare to provoke Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er easily, and they are all angry with Mark, at this time, Zhang Gou'er pulled Ah Ying to Luo Amin's side and said softly: "Auntie, it's time for you to say something, please rest assured, I only listen to you alone." ”

Luo Amin was still looking at the sea from afar, there was no tear in his confused eyes, and at this moment, his heart was beating and he didn't know how to answer.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er persuaded them for a long time, but no one paid attention to them, and in the end, Mark was tied up by the sailors and tied him to Louise.

Dozens of sailors knelt behind Luo Amin without saying a word, at this time, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er came to Luo Amin's side, she turned her face, and the three of them looked at each other, all very nervous......

"Auntie, it is necessary for everyone to know the reason for the destruction of the Tortoiseshell Harbor, otherwise, the blood of 200 Ming soldiers and more than 300 brothers will be shed in vain." Zhang Gou'er said loudly.

So, Luo Amin glanced up at Louise and asked, "Dog, has the Lord of the Seven Ao woken up?" ”

"I've woken up." Zhang Gou'er replied.

Luo Amin said loudly: "Bring the Lord of the Seven Ao up, now on this ship, he is the supreme commander." ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er couldn't help but be stunned, worried that something would happen to this honest Qiao master, and Zhang Gou'er kept shaking his head......

Luo Amin said calmly: "Dog, go, carry the Lord of the Seven Ao up, now it is necessary for me to let all the people on the ship know the truth, even if they die, they must let everyone die to understand." ”

So, Zhang Gou'er no longer hesitated, and personally ran down the cabin to carry Li Chenghuai, and at the same time, carried up the six injured Ming army brothers.

Putting the seven stretchers in front of the sailors, Zhang Gou'er helped Li Chenghuai up from the stretcher and asked softly, "Lord Qiao, how are you feeling now?" ”

"I can't die." Li Chenghuai smiled slightly, and then asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhang Gou'er patted him on the shoulder, but didn't answer, got up and asked, "Auntie, did you bring Louise over?" ”

Luo Amin sighed deeply, closed his eyes, shook his head, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Lord Qiao, you come to tell you what happened to the old Australian lord Lin Daoqian in Pattani. ”

Li Chenghuai half-sat up, nodded and said: "Brothers, as far as I know, in the most difficult time of the Tortoiseshell Port, the second Australian lord and the lower have considered sending everyone to Pettani to join the old Australian owner, but why did you give up this idea in the end, do you know? ”

"The old Australian lord has become the horse of the King of Siam, why can't he let us go to Pattani?" Someone among the sailors asked.

At this time, Luo Amin said loudly: "It's really naïve, if Pettani is a place to settle down, why is there any need for the second Australian lord to sacrifice his life and forget his death, and return to his hometown with his father and fellow villagers, haven't you thought about it?" ”

"Madam, that's because the second Australian lord wants to return to his roots."

"The people who left are different from us, many of them were forced to get involved, and there are many businessmen who were arrested on Nanao Island, they are fine when they go back, and we will be liquidated when we return to the mainland."

……

Li Chenghuai continued: "To tell you the truth, the imperial court has already given letters to the kings of Siam, Annam and Angkor, even if the old Australian lord became the concubine of Siam, but the Siamese king was forced by the pressure of the imperial court, I am afraid that he would not dare to stay with them for a long time in the future. Anyway, the old Australian owner is also a guest there, and if he really wants to meet each other, he may not be able to take any advantage, and several months have passed, what is the situation in Pattani Port now? I can't say it now, this is the reason why the second Australian lord saved everyone to return to the mainland. ”

After hearing Li Chenghuai's words, the sailors began to whisper......

"Will the second owner be beheaded when he goes back?"

"He's so old, it doesn't matter, but we're all young."

"Could it be that the second Australian lord has secretly had contact with the government? Otherwise, at this juncture, what are Guo Qianhu and Xu Qianhu doing here with us? ”

……

So, Luo Amin said: "Li Chenghuai, you are the highest Australian owner on this ship, why did the Westerners attack the tortoiseshell port, you need to explain it to everyone, so as not to speculate wildly." ”

Li Chenghuai looked at Luo Amin puzzled, and asked with some doubts: "Madam, if you really want to go back to the mainland, what should you do with your niece?" ”

Zhang Gou'er, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were all by Luo Amin's side, looking forward to their answers.

Everyone knows that Luo Amin is different from others, if Li Chenghuai can be forgiven by the government, their mother and daughter may not, as a criminal official who was executed by the imperial court, and married a pirate leader, even if Emperor Longqing is still alive, it is impossible to pardon her openly, if the government catches it, the best outcome is probably to be filled with the army.

At this time, Luo Amin lost his former reserve, and lowered his head with shame......

Lin Feng was on the pulse of Luo Amin, Zhang Gou'er and others, so he dared to use the Daifuku ship to escort the families of the soldiers to Pattani for refuge temporarily, and he firmly believed that the Daifuku ship and the sailors would return to Tortoiseshell Harbor.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Ling'er asked softly, "Sister, how about sending everyone to Ryukyu?" ”

"Please sister, don't worry, the prince can let Ah Ping live a quiet life in the Ryukyus, he still has mercy on Xu Hai's daughter, I believe he will be able to protect you and find a good way out for everyone." Guo Yi persuaded.

Luo Amin nodded seriously and replied, "Okay, that's it." Now it is necessary to let everyone know what happened to the tortoiseshell port and what caused it. With that, she walked briskly to the fort alone.

found that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were following, Luo Amin waved his hand to them and told them to leave it alone, so he walked quickly to Louise and slapped her.

Louise did not dare to face Roamin and bowed her head in shame, at which point Mark advised, "Madame, please don't be embarrassed for her. ”

Luo Amin smiled reservedly, came up and untied Mark's rope, and said, "Mr. Mark, please help, let this woman go, I don't want to get my hands dirty." ”

Louise, who looked panicked, was pulled into front of everyone by Markla, and Luo Amin asked in a loud voice, "May I ask everyone, is Mr. Mark someone you can trust?" ”

All the sailors were silent, so Guo Yi stood in front of everyone and said: "Everyone, please think about it, if it wasn't for Mr. Mark who brought everyone to Hawksbill Harbor and was protected by Father Hawksbill Harbor, what would have been the outcome after your failed attack on Manila last year?" ”

At this time, someone shouted in a low voice: "I'm sorry Mr. Mark......"

"We believe Mr. Mark."

So, Luo Amin continued: "Why did the tortoiseshell harbor fall, let's ask this Western woman, and when you understand the truth, what should you do, let you decide for yourself." ”

Mark smiled stupidly at Xu Ling'er and said, "Please help me, Miss Xu, I don't speak Chinese very well now." ”

Xu Ling'er's face suddenly turned crimson, and she nodded and replied, "Please ask Mrs. Luo to help, she also understands some Western dialect." ”

Then, Mark began to interrogate Louise in Western, with Luo Amin and Xu Linger acting as interpreters.

"Miss Louise, what is your purpose in Hawksbill Harbor?"

"Commissioned by the Sakai Town Council, come to Luzon to investigate the cause of your merchant ship's disappearance." Louise replied.

Luo Amin asked sharply, "What is the purpose besides?" ”

Louise shuddered and hurriedly shook her head.

At this time, Xu Ling'er asked, "Miss Louise, you should know Mr. Konishi Ronzo, a pharmacist from Sakai Town, right?" In addition to the tasks entrusted to you by the Crowd, did Mr. Konishi Lonzo ask you to help them? ”

Louise thought it was just Luo Amin who was jealous, but suddenly realized that her identity had been exposed, and with an oops, she fainted on the deck.

Xu Ling'er helped her up together and asked again, "May I ask Miss Louise, what does Mr. Little Nishironzo entrust you to do?" ”

"He, he sent me to contact Lord Lin Taiao, hoping to help Lord Lin Taiao seize Luzon." Louise replied.

Li Chenghuai stopped doing it when he heard this, stood up and said angrily: "Let the Japanese come and help seize Luzon? I won't agree to the first one, I'd rather die than provoke the Japanese Bandits! ”

Then, some of the sailors began to talk about it, and they supported Li Chenghuai with gossip.

At this time, Zhang Gou'er waved his hand to everyone and said seriously: "Do you know why you sacrificed the Seven Ao Lords and their brothers, as well as the two hundred Ming soldiers?" It is precisely to cut off these strong men of integrity, so that they can welcome the Japanese to Hawksbill Harbor in the future. Actually, there are some things he doesn't dare to say, that is, Lin Feng secretly instructed Zhang Gou'er to kill Li Chenghuai.

"Why, then, did the Westerners attack us suddenly? What's so strange about this? One of the sailors asked, puzzled.

So, Mark continued to interrogate Louise: "What did Lord Lin Daao do through you?" ”

Louise knew that she had caused a catastrophe, and it might be difficult for others to forgive and forgive her, except for Lin Feng, so she immediately shed tears and refused to answer this question.

Some of the sailors guessed what had happened, and many of them waved their fists and shouted in indignation: "Kill this shameless red-haired ghost!" ”

Although Louise couldn't understand what they were saying, out of her survival instinct, she began to crawl backwards, when some of the sailors stood up and tried to kill her, but were stopped by Mark and Xu Ling'er.

Louise crawled into the scorching sun, lay on the deck and wept bitterly, and after being exposed to the sun for a long time, her mouth began to dry up, and she gradually couldn't vomit, and she had a feeling of checkmate death......

Suddenly, feeling someone patting her on the back, Ji Lingling shuddered, looked up, and found that Xu Linger had handed a bowl of water to her lips.

"Bodhisattva ......"

"Drink it." Xu Linger smiled and nodded at her.

So, Louise tears dripped into the bowl, picked up the water bowl, and drank it with a bang, a knock, and suddenly felt better.

Xu Ling'er said: "Don't be afraid, we still need your help. ”

Supporting Louise back to Liang Y, Li Chenghuai asked, "Could it be that I want to eliminate the Ming army brothers and send all the families of the soldiers to Pattani for refuge, all to welcome the arrival of the Japanese Kou?" ”

Luo Amin nodded seriously and replied: "Yes, it's just that Lin Feng didn't expect that through the letter sent by this Western woman to the Japanese Koukou, it fell into the hands of Archbishop Perez of Manila Cathedral, which caused the governor to be furious and decided to immediately send troops to exterminate the tortoiseshell port." Seven Ao's Lords, please think about it, if it weren't for the Er'ao Lords who took away nearly 2,000 villagers, what kind of tragic situation would it be now? ”

Li Chenghuai understood everything, and asked helplessly: "It really doesn't matter if we people return to the mainland or die, madam, what should you and your niece do?" ”

At this time, Zhang Gou'er came over and said: "Seven Australian masters, we will soon be able to catch up with the second Australian masters, let's go back together." ”

"I agree." Luo Amin said: "Actually, the second Australian lord has long been secretly in contact with the governor of the city, and I believe that he can ensure everyone's safety, so he dares to take everyone back." ”

"I am willing to accompany the second owner to die together." Li Chenghuai finally made up his mind, but asked quite cautiously: "It's just, it's just, who can guarantee the safety of his wife and niece?" ”

"We're here to keep my wife and niece safe." Guo Yi replied decisively.

After Li Chenghuai came to do work for everyone, and finally all agreed to return to the mainland, for the sake of prudence, it was decided to catch up with Ma Zhishan's fleet, and the fleet led by the Dafu ship went to Taiwan first, at least General Feng An would not embarrass everyone, and then sent someone to meet Pang Shangpeng.

After arranging all this, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er fell into confusion, the task assigned by the imperial court has not been completed, hundreds of people from the Moon Sky Elder Business Group are still trapped in Akimeura, the ambitious Oda Nobunaga and Monkey Hideyoshi are secretly fighting the idea of Ryukyu, and now they have completely lost the base of Tortoiseshell Port, what should they do in the future?

At this time, Louise let out a miserable howl, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er hurriedly ran to the bilge, only to see several sailors pulling her hair and dragging her down......

"Stop!" Guo Yi shouted, drew his sword and rushed forward to stop them.

"You're too much!" Xu Ling'er then asked, "Where are Mrs. Luo and Zhang Gou'er now?" Do they know? ”

"Mrs. Luo is sick and resting in the cabin, the dog assists Mr. Mark C Zongdafu to chase the two Australian lords, please calm the anger of the two thousand households, this is the meaning of the seven Australian lords, break this damn woman into ten thousand pieces, and throw it into the sea to sacrifice the dragon king......"

"Let Miss Louise go, anyway, she's also the second lady of the big o's house." Xu Ling'er shouted.

Look at me, look at you, hurriedly throw down Louise, turn around and run......
