Chapter 383: The Scapegoat (Part II)
Chen Xinji also hasn't slept well in the past few days, not because he doesn't want to sleep, it's that he can't sleep at all.
He had heard of the secret communication between the Shimazu family and the Fuliao Army, so he now had a feeling that the trapped beast in the cage was cornered; And the ships of the Shimazu family vaguely surrounded his No. 2 Fu ship and the St. Paul in the center made this feeling even more real - the Fuliao army had blocked the door, and the Shimazu family seemed to want to calm things down, but if they wanted to pass this pass, it was obviously not a few empty words that could be perfunctory, someone had to be a scapegoat, it seemed that he and Van Oerst were worried about the Shimazu family.
In the rivers and lakes, Chen Xinji has not only heard of the example of wearing a pair of pants like a sibling brother the day before, but also seen it with his own eyes; So in fact, Chen Xinji is still mentally prepared for the change of face of the Shimazu family.
However, he still had a trace of luck - after all, the strength of the Dutch was by no means idle, and Chen Zhenji believed that the Shimazu family would never easily tear up their faces with the Dutch unless they had to; Since the Dutch have hope of getting out, he himself will be able to fish in troubled waters and get through the danger, but they are still allies for now!
Ten thousand steps back, even if the Japanese did not care about it, his No. 2 fortune ship and the St. Paul were close to each other, and he could not resist it and fled to the St. Paul, believing that Van Oussted, who was in sympathy with the disease, would not stand idly by.
For this reason, Chen Xinji rubbed on the St. Paul when he had nothing to do in the past two days, endured disgusting and frantically patted Van Oustic's ass, and the treasures and treasures that could be taken on the ship were sent to the old pirate's cabin as if they were worthless - to be honest, Chen Xinji had not been so attentive to his father before - finally let this stupid big man pat his chest and swear that with him Van Oerst here, he would never let the Shimazu family move Chen Zhenji for a long time, and the big deal was to start a battle, and if he could still capture Kagoshima Honmaru - Although he had just lost the battle. But this thief-hearted captain Fan still looked at the dwarf Japanese with his nostrils, and in his opinion, as long as he wanted, the St. Paul could do whatever he wanted in Kagoshima Bay!
With Van Auster's assurance, Chen Zhenji finally let more than half of his heart go to his stomach - with the protection of the Dutch, as long as he can escape from this Kagoshima Bay. If he Chen Xinji, he can turn back into the sea owl that crisscrosses the seas; As long as people are still there, one day they will be able to avenge this groveling service to the red hair!
Chen Xinji is not confused in his old age, and he is worried all the time, where can he still sleep well? Even Kimono couldn't even lie in the dark cabin and close his eyes and pretend to sleep, as soon as his eyes were closed, all kinds of thoughts came flooding in, making his chest almost explode, and he had no choice but to stare at the night sky outside the porthole with his eyes wide open and aimlessly.
This was already the third night of the firing between the Jinfeng and the fort, and after the demonstration of that day, the naval division of the Fuliao Army retreated to the mouth of Kagoshima Bay. Without any movement, Kagoshima Bay seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
At this moment, in addition to the occasional whistling of the sea breeze in heaven and earth, it was the seemingly never-ending sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship, which made Chen Xinji's mood even more discouraged.
For some reason, his thoughts flew back to the Golden Phoenix - there, for the first time, he saw the little Xiucai from Dengzhou.
At that time, Chen Xinji never imagined that his life would be so completely and tragically changed by this little show!
And when He Jianxin's body was carried in front of Chen Xinji, his resentment towards Chu Fan was already too deep to extricate himself - He Jianxin said that it was his cousin. But when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he ran to the sea, and there was a vague father-son relationship in the brotherly love. That's why He Jianxin pushed He Jianxin out as his representative in the battle for Aunt Yan, and Chen Xinji had already regarded He Jianxin as his heir in his heart!
When the news that fairy grass cigarettes were popular in Nagasaki and that Chu Fan had formed an alliance with the Kato family reached Hakushima, Chen Xinji's resentment added a sense of jealousy and unwillingness: everything he had worked so hard to pursue—money, fame, status—this Dengzhou Xiucai seemed to be captured effortlessly, how could people be calm?
So there was the bitterness of the pier of Hakushima, so there was Chu Fan's strange ship to take the lead. So there was Chu Fan's domineering style with one as ten, so there was Li Guozhu and Yang Tiansheng's ridicule, so he and Liu Hong ran away with the negative spirit......
If it weren't for the ensuing setbacks and blows, he would never have been so reckless and turned against the six families - you know, Yang Tiansheng and Li Guo helped them. But a good brother who works hard with Yan Siqi!
If he could look down on the grievances at that time, untie the knot and continue to stay on the island, then it is likely that the powerful sailors who are chasing the Dutch to the sky and the earth will probably have their own place!
Thinking of this, Chen Xinji's eyes lit up, and immediately dimmed again - the big mistake has been made, where in the world is there any regret medicine?
In his thoughts, Chen Xinji suddenly turned over and sat up, listening intently - the sound of the waves outside the porthole seemed to be mixed with some faint other sounds!
Wrong!
Chen Xinji jumped up suddenly, rushed to the porthole to take a look, and saw that in the faint starlight, clusters of black shadows were surging towards the No. 2 lucky ship from all directions!
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Chen Xinji, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could keenly feel the awe-inspiring murderous aura brought by the black shadows, and he could even feel the cold gaze of the black-clothed men standing at the bow of these small sampans shooting at him!
Sure enough, it still came!
After glancing at the calm sea in the direction of the stern of the boat, Chen Xinji was both angry and glad - angry that the Japanese people turned their faces, but fortunately their judgment was very accurate, the Japanese people only dared to attack themselves, and did not dare to move the Dutch!
Three steps and two steps rushed out of the cabin to the pavilion, Chen Xinji sounded the gong of warning, and soon the torches were lit on the No. 2 Fu ship, and the sailors who were waiting for the day poured out of the cabin, shouting and looking around.
"Brothers! The Japanese have betrayed us by the damn damn man! Outside the pavilion, Chen Xinji shouted, "The **** wants to kill us all!" Brothers, fight with them! ”
His shouts had some effect, and the sailors spotted the small sampans that were rapidly approaching on the sea, and in the midst of the loud cursing, they all picked up all sorts of fellows, ready to meet the attacking Japanese people.
In the chaos, no one noticed that the pavilion was already empty, and Chen Xinji, who was still cheering everyone up just now, had long since disappeared! (To be continued.) )
