After a while, Su Mei and Xiaoman followed the fourth lady Feng Peipei into the cabin, and Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi and others all stood up and bowed: "Chengzu and the brothers are here to thank Miss Su for their help, but they were neglected before, and they are really sorry." ”

Su Mei smiled and said: "I didn't tell Mr. Qin about it, if you want to say sorry, it's also Su Mei who can't tell Mr. Qin!" ”

Xiao Man yawned shyly and cutely, leaned over to Lin Lian, and asked, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about, it's so late." ”

Lin Bin's ass moved to the side; Xiao Man relied on Lin Tie in his heart, he was also young, and there were not many men and women with Lin Tie who had different thoughts, maybe he subconsciously wanted to be close to him, so he sat down next to him, and looked at the people in the cabin curiously, since this ten months, she has also experienced too many surprises and dangers.

"Miss Su, sit down too," Lin Jian said, "Let's also plan for the future." ”

Su Mei and the fourth lady, Feng Peipei, sat on a bench, and everyone continued to discuss things around the table.

At this time, he was honest with Qin Chengzu and them, and he also pinned the hope of placing the young people on Qin Chengzu and them, and he no longer had any reservations when he spoke, and said: "Mr. Qin, you are all good men who refuse to bend your waist, and I don't advise you to say anything else, although it is difficult to go to the sea, there is always a chance to recuperate." After Ninghai Town found out that the meat ticket was missing from the island, I think Xiao Tao, the deputy lieutenant of Ninghai Town, was afraid that the matter would be revealed, and he would not immediately take the risk of going to sea to become a thief, but he would definitely send spies to keep an eye on Chongzhou. At this time, the slightest flaw cannot be revealed, so Enze and the others must not contact their families at this time, and after some time, maybe Xiao Tao will be transferred out of Ninghai Town in a short time, more or less, Mr. Qin, you can get some help from Chongzhou if you have a foothold on the island...... Of course, although I am in a humble position, I also ask Mr. Qin to believe that I will never back down where I can help. ”

"In the past ten months, life and death depend on each other, and Su Mei can't stay out of the matter, where Su Mei needs to do his meager strength, Mr. Qin just orders." Su Mei said softly.

Qin Chengzu looked at Cao Ziang and wanted to hear his opinion. Zhou Pu was straight-hearted and said, "With the help of Lin Ye and Miss Su, I see that the sea can do it," and asked Lin Lian, "What is the name of the small island outside the Yangtze River?" I think we'll be able to rest there. ”

"The fishermen in Chongzhou call it Changshan Island." Lin Jian said.

"Could it be too close to Ninghai Town?" Qin Chengzu had already told Lin Tie at this time, since Su Mei and Lin Tie had both opened their mouths to indicate that they would not stay out of the matter, Qin Chengzu felt that there was no need to continue to waver on the issue of whether to go to sea, but where to choose to settle after going to sea should be seriously considered.

Su Mei will return to Jiangning in the future, even if Lin Jian returns to Shiliang County, Dongyang Prefecture, just north of Jiangning, Qin Chengzu thought that in the future, he would get their help in the island for recuperation business, and Changshan Island outside the mouth of the Yangtze River was a very suitable place. From Jiangning to the river by boat, you can reach the sea mouth in one night and one day, and then you can reach Changshan Island by sea for more than 100 miles; Even if they went up to Jiangning against the current, it would only take three or five days. Changshan Island is a bedrock island, and there are many sandbanks and sand islands near the left, which is convenient for transfer and concealment, but the biggest problem is that it is too close to the station of Ninghai Town, only a distance of more than 200 miles.

"I believe that Ninghai Town will soon send people to Changshan Island to check, they will find that it is an empty island, Mr. Qin, you will land on the island after that, I think Ninghai Town will only treat Mr. Qin, you as a new pirate on Changshan Island......" Speaking of this, Lin Jian paused and asked, "Does Mr. Qin know how many times the sailors of Ninghai Town have taken the initiative to go to sea to chase down pirates in the past few years?" ”

"How many times?" Qin Chengzu asked.

"Not once in two years." Lin Jian said.

"Ahh How so? Qin Chengzu was not familiar with the Jianghuai Haijiang, and only knew that the East China pirates had been rampant in the past few years, often invading the interior along the Yangtze River and the Huai River, but he did not expect that the water camp in Ninghai Town, which was responsible for the safety of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the sea areas east of Pingjiang and Hailing, would be so dissipated, and there was no record of a single expedition to the sea in the past two years.

"When Li Zhuo, the governor of Eastern Fujian, entered Eastern Fujian to quell the rebellion, the few elite troops in Jiangdong, Liangzhejiang and other places were transferred to him to form a new army in the Eastern Fujian camp to deal with the luxury family. In addition, in recent years, almost all the military funds in the southeast have been used to quell the rebellion of the extravagant families, the salaries of the governor's mansions and garrison towns are insufficient, the silver allocated for military equipment is even more pitiful, and the officers and generals are greedy for ink - many reasons make the sailors of Ninghai Town unbearable and unwilling to go to sea to fight. Fu Qinghe was very familiar with these and explained it to Qin Chengzu.

Qin Chengzu believed what Fu Qinghe said, in fact, the Huaishang Prefectures also had garrison towns, but many of the Liumakou had been crisscrossing the Huaishang for many years, and they did not feel much threat from the garrison towns.

Qin Chengzu exchanged glances with Cao Ziang, Wu Qi, and Feng Peipei, the fourth lady, and said with determination: "Okay, let's go to Changshan Island!" ”

***********************************

When it comes to going to Changshan Island, there are still many things that need to be carefully discussed. Cao Ziang was not in good health, so he went to rest first, and Lin Jian and the others also walked out of the cabin to the deck to move their hands and feet.

At some point, the night sky was overcast, and the full moon was gone, and it was pitch black in all directions, and the river reflected a faint glow, and the shadows of the boats on the left could be vaguely recognized. This is only a candlestick like a bean sprout in the cabin, and the other ships are forbidden to fire, so as not to attract the attention of the night boats; There was a faint voice.

The cold wind seemed to leak out of the thick clouds and swept through the reeds, stirring up a sparse rattling sound.

"Don't you want it to rain heavily?" Zhou Pu walked to Lin Lian's side and looked up at the sky, but he couldn't see anything.

"I'm afraid so." Lin Jian said, the sky was overcast, and the wind suddenly rose, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Chengzu standing at the hatch and telling Fu Qinghe about their experience of becoming a flowing horse over the years.

The battle of Jiangling greatly damaged Qin Chengzu's vitality, and less than 40 of the more than 200 brothers finally broke out of the encirclement, and those with their hands and feet intact were all standing here, only 22 people. Their stockade in Yingchuan was also immediately broken by Chen Hansan's anti-theft battalion, but after breaking through the siege in the Battle of Jiangling, Qin Chengzu immediately asked people to return to the cottage, and nearly 300 family members, mostly old and weak, women and children, withdrew from the village to hide first.

It is really not an easy task to bring so many people to the beach and then go to sea.

Lin Lian's heart Qin Chengzu's rogue horse is really strange, it is very different from the gangs and horse thieves he knows, Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu and others are all old acquaintances from the army, and they don't know what happened, so they parted ways and fell into the grass.

"Over the years, I have settled down in Jiangning City, changed my identity, opened a martial arts hall, accepted a few apprentices, the martial arts hall is broken, it can't be operated, Miss Su's side is short of manpower, I will lead two apprentices over to beg for food, alas, there will be no such disaster in Baisha County!" Fu Qinghe also talked about his experience over the years.

Lin Jian always felt that Fu Qinghe was a little evasive, looking at the attitude of Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu and others towards Fu Qinghe, it can be inferred that they were very dependent on Fu Qinghe back then, and the more they relied on it, the more chilling it was! Ten years ago, Fu Qinghe was in the prime of life, did he just go to the Jiangning Kaijian Martial Arts Hall to live a dull life without saying goodbye?

Qin Chengzu is not a character who can be fooled, where is he willing to believe Fu Qinghe's words, I saw that he was silent and did not respond to Fu Qinghe's words, only a faint candlelight came out of the hatch, Lin Jian stood farther away, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Oh......" Xiao Man squatted on the side of the boat and pulled the reed pole on the side to play, sleepy, and couldn't help yawning. Su Mei said to her, "You go back to the cabin and sleep first......" "It's about to dawn, I'm going to wait to see the sunrise," Xiaoman said, stood up and stretched his waist to get rid of the drowsiness in his body, walked to Lin Lian's side, turned back to Su Mei and said, "Brother Lin said that when the sun rises, the birds in the reeds fly up to the sky as dense as clouds, which is very beautiful; I don't want to snooze anymore and miss ......."

Lin Lian smiled, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was a strong wind, how could there be a sunrise to look forward to? Looking at Su Mei standing there, in the dark, Tingting Yuli's figure was also very beautiful, and I was thinking: Of course, the relationship between Fu Qinghe and Su Mei is not just as simple as hiring a martial artist, so what is the relationship between Su Mei and Qin Chengzu? It seemed that Qin Chengzu and the others didn't recognize Su Mei, but Lin Jian felt that Su Mei and Qin Chengzu should have a relationship. Thinking about it, when Fu Qinghe parted ways with Qin Chengzu and others ten years ago, Su Mei was only eight or nine years old, and even if Su Mei was an old man, it was normal for Qin Chengzu and others not to recognize him.

Xiao Man looked up at the sky expectantly and asked Lin Bin: "Brother Lin, will the clouds in the sky disperse at dawn?" ”

Su Mei said with a smile over there: "Brother Lin, Brother Lin all day long, you can recognize him as a brother." ”

"Okay, okay......" Xiao Man shouted happily, her voice was crisp and delicate, very infectious, Lin Lian couldn't help but smile on his face when he heard it, he also wanted to wait for Xiao Man to say a few more coquettish words and then agreed, but Xiao Man was still happy one moment, I don't know what she suddenly remembered, and the next moment suddenly fell into silence.

The night before dawn was the darkest, Xiao Man's face was carrying a faint candlelight, Lin Jian couldn't see Xiao Nizi's face clearly, and when he saw that she suddenly became silent, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"How can Xiao Man be qualified to be Brother Lin's sister," Xiao Man said with self-pity, "It will harm Brother Lin's future." ”

Lin Lian stretched out his hand, gently pressed Xiaoman's soft and thin shoulder, and said with a smile: "I just think you are a sister." ”

This is a time when the rich and the low are different.

Xiaoman is still an innocent and splendid age, far more sensible than the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls in Lin Bin's memory, and she can't forget her identity as a prostitute.

In these years, taking a prostitute as a concubine is a romantic affair, if you take a prostitute as a wife or openly worship brothers and sisters, it will hinder the morals, if you are sued to the government, Lin Lian's fame will definitely be stripped away.
