As soon as Li Xiu boarded the dock, he heard the news that Li Chengdao and Qi Niang had left here, and at that moment he only felt a "buzz" in his head, and he almost fell to the ground in front of him, but fortunately, Zhang Shiyi's skills were good, and he rushed forward to support him with an arrow step, which made him not fall.

"Brother Li, don't be too excited, it's okay to listen to what I say!" What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Zhang Shiyi smiled bitterly at this time, he just wanted to joke with Li Xiu, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so big.

"My sister has gone to the Americas with others, and you don't make me excited?" Li Xiu roared angrily when he heard this, hurried on the road, but finally pounced, how could he not be angry?

"Who said that Qi Niang went to the Americas, she just went to Quanzhou with Chengdao to play, and when she left, let me tell you, and when she has had enough, she will come back, and then she will admit whether she is beaten or punished!" Zhang Shiyi smiled helplessly again, Qi Niang had long known that Li Xiu would definitely chase after her, she and Li Chengdao had just met, so naturally she didn't want to go back so early, and she was afraid of being scolded by Li Xiu, so she took Li Chengdao and ran to Quanzhou to play.

"This stinky girl, she's getting bolder!" Li Xiu heard that Qi Niang just went to Quanzhou, and immediately stood up, and then scolded angrily, but no matter how you look at him, he is a little lacking in confidence, after all, as long as Qi Niang does not go to the Americas, everything else is nothing.

"Okay, although Qi Niang is a little bolder, she is already very sensible, and she also said before she left that she will come back in three or five days at most, and let me persuade you well, and scold her a few words less." Zhang Shiyi smiled again at this time.

"Hmph, when she comes back, I have to scold her to death, it's useless to persuade anyone!" Li Xiu scolded again at this time, but at this time, everyone could see that he was just stubborn, in fact, Li Xiu really didn't dare to scold Qi Niang, otherwise if she really went to America with Li Chengdao, he would have regretted it at that time.

Li Xiu can still afford to wait for three or five days, and it is rare to come to the big island of Liuqiu, although Li Xiu of later generations hated the people on the island, but he was still very greedy for this land, because its location was too good, if the Central Plains Dynasty wanted to develop sea power, it must master this island, otherwise it would be like China in later generations, and it would be controlled everywhere.

Zhang Shiyi was a landlord, so Li Xiu walked around this newly landed stronghold under his leadership, according to Zhang Shiyi, he had a total of four such strongholds on Liuqiu Island, although the scale of each stronghold was not very large, but it was enough to provide a supply point for his caravan at sea, and he could also deal with some shady things.

Li Xiu walked around the stronghold, and found that this stronghold was actually a small walled city, built next to the port, half of which protruded from the water, and there was a sluice at the entrance, and when the sluice fell, no ship should think of entering.

The other half of the walled city on the land is also very strong, although there are not many people living in the walled city, but both men and women have a fierce face, which makes Li Xiu can't help but make fun of Zhang Shiyi: "Brother Eleven, your stronghold looks like a pirate den no matter how you look at it, you can't do pirate business here, right?" ”

"Haha~, Brother Li, you're really right, this is really a pirate den, but it's different from traditional pirates." Zhang Shiyi admitted very generously at this time.

"Oh, what's different about pirates?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.

"Traditional pirates generally make a living by robbery, they drive ships to run rampant on the sea, as long as it is a weak fleet, there is absolutely no good end to meet them, but these under my command are mainly to do business for a living, usually when I need a fleet, I organize them to transport goods, but the sea is originally a world of the jungle, and they don't mind making a cameo appearance as a pirate when they encounter some weaker fleets." Zhang Shiyi introduced with a smile.

Li Xiu also frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, because he remembered that the bearded guest had told him that the maritime merchants and pirates in this era were originally a family, and those who dared to drive their ships to the sea were almost all thinking of playing with their lives, and two strange fleets met on the sea, unless the two were really not much different, most of them ended up with the strong side swallowing up the weak side, so the practices of these people under Zhang Shiyi were nothing at all.

"Woo~" But at this moment, I suddenly heard a loud horn sound from the village, which made Li Xiu stunned, but Zhang Shiyi scolded angrily at this time, "These inexhaustible maggots dare to come to find death?" ”

With this horn, the men and women in the stockade ran to the city one after another, and the atmosphere in the stockade became a little tense, which made Li Xiu also ask in surprise: "Brother Eleven, what's going on, is there an enemy attacking?" ”

After all, Li Xiu had been in the army, so he immediately noticed something unusual, and Zhang Shiyi explained with a little helplessness at this time: "Brother Li doesn't have to worry, it's just some annoying maggots on the island, although there are a lot of them, but their strength is very low, and my people are enough to repel them!" ”

"Hehe, you're talking about the natives on the island, I'm very interested in these natives, let's go and see how about it?" Li Xiu also guessed the meaning of Zhang Shiyi's words when he heard this, and he was also a little interested at the moment, these natives were called aborigines in Taiwan in later generations, and the number was already very rare, and many of them were mixed with Han blood, and their lifestyles had also changed dramatically, so Li Xiu wanted to see with his own eyes what the real aborigines were like?

"Okay, since Brother Li is interested, then let's take a look, but Brother Li, you also have to listen to my arrangement, otherwise it may be a little dangerous." Seeing that Li Xiu was so interested, Zhang Shiyi thought about it for a moment and nodded, their father and son have been operating on Liuqiu Island for many years, and they have long known the methods of the natives.

"That's nature, I don't want to hurt these natives." Li Xiu also laughed and nodded at this time, and then he climbed to the top of the city with Zhang Shiyi.

The climate of Liuqiu Island is hot, the island is full of trees, so the whole city wall is also built of giant trees, although the city wall is not wide, but it is very strong, and the island is rainy, the city wall is wet all year round, so it is not afraid of fire attack at all, and even the city wall has long been covered with a kind of thorny vines, even when it is not raining, it is not lit at all.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi climbed into a corner tower in the southeast corner of the walled city, looked down through the battlement, and saw that a group of natives with bare bodies had gathered below, only surrounding their crotch with animal skins.

I saw that there were probably hundreds of natives under these walled cities, and in the jungle behind them, there were still some natives coming in a steady stream, and the momentum was not small, after all, the people in Zhang Shiyi's stronghold were only about two or three hundred, and the number of natives outside the walled city was at least twice as many as theirs, but the city, including Zhang Shiyi, did not show any nervousness.

After the natives outside gathered, Li Xiu roughly estimated and found that the other party had more than a thousand people, and then saw a native, who was a head taller than ordinary natives and had a very strong body, and then shouted at the head of the city: "#¥@%#¥%%......"

Well, this native is obviously the leader, as for his native language, Li Xiu didn't understand a word, and finally could only ask Zhang Shiyi next to him for help: "Brother Eleven, what is this native talking about?" ”

Zhang Shiyi could obviously understand what the natives below were saying, because at this time his face was about to turn black, obviously angry, and when he heard Li Xiu's words, he also suppressed his anger and said: "The group of natives below is crazy, this natives who speak are the leader of this natives tribe, and their name seems to be Bunun, he said that the people of his tribe have a strange disease, and he also said that it was because of our curse that they were sick, and we must lift the curse of their tribe, otherwise they will attack us!" ”

"What? Eleventh brother, do you still have such a ability? Li Xiu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then couldn't help but make fun of him, although he had long known that these natives were not civilized, but he didn't expect to be so ignorant.

"Brother Li, don't be joking, this Bunon seems to be the largest tribal leader in the vicinity, and there are not a few tribes attached to him, although we are not afraid of him, but if we get into this kind of trouble, I am afraid that in the future, the village will not want to be quiet." Zhang Shiyi also smiled bitterly at this time.

In fact, it is not the first time that the conflict between the Zhang father and son and the natives on the island is not the first time, the natives on the island are very hostile to outsiders like them, and even say that they can witchcraft, otherwise it is impossible to build such a big ship, and the Zhang father and son do not bother to explain to a group of natives, so the two sides have had many fights, and the result is even more trustless.

"Eleventh brother, what should I do, you don't really want to fight with these natives, do you?" Li Xiu looked at the natives clamoring below, and then asked Zhang Shiyi again, what is the curse is naturally nonsense, but the natives below are convinced, and Li Xiu has no good solution to this.

"There is no way, I can only fight, these natives are originally afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, and they don't have a long memory, they can be honest for a few days after beating them every other section!" Zhang Shiyi gritted his teeth at this time and said, in fact, he didn't want to fight with the natives, the main reason was that there was no benefit, after all, these natives were so poor that even if he won the battle, there would be no oil and water to make money.

But as soon as Zhang Shiyi's words fell, he saw a strange sound in the jungle behind the natives, and the trees in the jungle kept shaking, as if some jungle monster was about to rush out of it?
