After Li Ying returned to South Australia, he immediately went to the water village of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan to meet him.

Zhao Yan sat on the right seat of the Zhongyi Hall in the water village, looked at the smiling tiger Li Ying, and asked, "Did you send the things over?" “

Li Ying bowed his head and said respectfully, "Send it over, big brother!" “

Zhao Yan continued to ask, "How did he react?" “

Li Ying glanced up at Zhao Yan and said cautiously, "According to the subordinates, after the eldest prince received the things, he was immediately furious, and even threatened to send troops to eradicate the five of us and eliminate harm for the people!" “

When he heard that Zheng Chenggong was going to send troops to eradicate him, Zhao Yan said calmly, "Well, I know." Let's go down! ”

Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't react, Li Ying suddenly felt unsure of what this big brother meant.

Li Ying said tentatively: "Big brother, we remembered the previous love and kindly sent some money and food over. But I didn't expect that Zheng Chenggong's guy didn't know what to do, and he would take revenge, and threatened to eradicate us, relying on his defeated soldiers and remnants of the army was simply delusional. Big brother, do you want to send some soldiers to teach him a lesson? ”

After Li Ying finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Yan, trying to find some clues from his demeanor.

After Zhao Yan glanced at Li Ying, he still said calmly, "No! ”

Although it was just a glance, Li Ying could feel a coldness.

Could it be that he sensed my intentions, thinking of Zhao Yan's torture methods that made people unable to survive but not death, Li Ying felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making people feel like they were in an ice cave.

Li Ying hurriedly shook his head, dispelling this fear, he did it so secretly, it was impossible for Zhao Yan to find out, probably because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Chenggong.

For the sake of safety, Li Ying said, "The eldest brother is magnanimous and does not have the same knowledge as Zheng Chenggong. However, 'people do not hurt the tiger's heart, but the tiger is harmful to people'. Big brother, I think it's better to be cautious. ”

Zhao Yan still said calmly, "Well, then you go and inform the other brothers!" ”

Knowing that he couldn't see anything from Zhao Yan's side, Li Ying was no longer tempting, so as not to say too much would arouse his suspicions.

And staying by Zhao Yan's side always made Li Ying feel uncomfortable. After Li Ying respectfully retreated, he went to the water village of the other three people one after another.

As Li Ying expected, as soon as they heard Zheng Chenggong's vain words about attacking Shuizhai, the three of them all scolded, and then shouted that they would send troops to teach Zheng Chenggong, the guy who didn't know what to do.

In the face of these three rude people who could only shout and kill, Li Ying didn't bother to say anything, but just told them about the eldest brother Zhao Yan's willingness not to send troops.

They immediately shut up and stopped talking about sending troops. Of course, Li Ying still reminded them to be more careful and beware of Zheng Chenggong's attack.

Although they all looked down on Zheng Chenggong, they were still cautious and vigilant at first.

But after waiting for half a month, according to the report of the spies who went out, Zheng Chenggong stayed in Zhao'an County only to attack the cottage and Zhengxiang, and there was no sign of going to sea to attack Nanao at all. They let down their guard and went on drinking and enjoying themselves.

As for Zheng Chenggong's threat to attack South Australia, he was only incompetent and could only use his tongue, so he looked down on him even more.

Among the five tigers, the three tigers are no longer vigilant, but the actions of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan are strange, from beginning to end as always, as if he never takes Zheng Chenggong to heart.

Only the smiling tiger still kept his subordinates on guard, but the three tigers thought of his timid and fearful character, and they knew it, and even laughed at him.

For their ridicule, Li Ying always coped with a smile, and then continued as usual.

The three of them were bored, so they stopped caring about him and went to have fun on their own.

Li Gang, Lei Heng, Wang Bao, and Li Ying are not much different from each other, and each of them has their own advantages, one is good at wine, one is good at gambling, one is good at money, and one is lustful.

Under Li Ying's deliberate friendship, their relationship with Li Ying has always been harmonious.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, in the evening, Li Ying walked towards Lei Heng's water village.

"Fifth brother, come and bet on two!" The winged tiger Lei Heng loves to gamble, and he lost his family because of bad gambling at the beginning, and finally even lost his wife and children, and owed a lot of debts.

In desperation, Lei Heng went to sea to join the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan as a pirate, and with his courage to fight, he later rose all the way to the third master.

At this time, he was drinking rice wine and gambling on dice with a few of his subordinates, but his subordinates were afraid of his violent temper and didn't dare to play seriously, which made Lei Heng very unhappy. Seeing Li Ying walking towards this side, he immediately shouted loudly.

Li Ying walked forward with a smile on his face and said, "Third brother." What is there to drink in rice wine, I don't have any strength, so hurry up and throw it away and follow me. I'll take a concubine for this little brother. I invited a few brothers to come over for a drink. Knowing that the third brother likes to play a few games, the younger brother has already asked people to open a few tables in the hall, which will definitely make the third brother have fun. ”

When Lei Heng heard this, he immediately came to his senses. I didn't drink any more wine, and immediately came over excitedly and said, "Seriously, seriously!" Since you have sincerely invited the fifth brother, the third brother will definitely go to support you. Hey, you also know that the third brother is not good at anything, he just likes to play a few hands. By the way, fifth brother, you have a concubine, which family is the girl, why haven't you heard of you before? ”

Li Ying smiled and said, "Third brother, you forgot, I robbed the squire last time, but I tied up his little daughter." Now the woman finally accepted her fate and married me. What about the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother? Call them with you. ”

"Big brother doesn't know where he went early this morning, your second brother is a drunkard, he must be drinking. Where else can the fourth brother be, it must be the stinky money guarding him at home. I don't know what the fourth brother thinks, if the money is not spent, what is the difference between it and a pile of broken copper and iron. Especially our life of licking blood with a knife, there is no tomorrow today. If you don't spend the money, you may be cheaper to someone else one day. Do you say yes, fifth brother! ”

Hearing that the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan was gone, Li Ying felt a little bad, but things had reached this point, and it was too late to turn back, so he could only go on hard.

Li Ying pretended to be casual and said, "What the third brother said is true. But since they're not here, so let's do it, third brother, you go to my place to play a few games first, and the younger brother will go to the second brother and fourth brother first. I've found it, and I'll have a few more drinks with you. ”

Lei Heng was already anxious when he heard that there was a gamble, and said impatiently, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! By the way, when you meet the fourth brother, ask him to let someone salvage some seafood and make it a snack for the next day. Then he hurriedly ran to Li Ying's water village to gamble.

After Lei Heng left, Li Ying recruited a confidant and asked him to report to Li Gang, who said that he had taken a concubine, and he was happy today, opened the wine cellar, and still drank them. ”

As long as he heard that there was wine, Li Ying believed that Li Gang, the hanger-eared tiger, would definitely come back.

Li Ying went to invite the Flying Tiger Wang Bao by himself, Wang Bao was greedy for money, and he had nothing to do on weekdays, so he would only stay in his water village and guard his gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Ying also persuaded Wang Bao for a long time before inviting Wang Bao to his own water village.

It didn't take much effort, except for the black-hearted tiger who couldn't find it, the other four tigers quickly gathered in Li Ying's water village hall.
