Zhang Heng was not unimpressed by Kidd's treasure.

After all, as the farmer's son said, it would be much easier for him to build his own pirate ship with such a start-up capital, and Nassau was not short of sailors, but all kinds of people with skills, and most importantly - ships, especially ships with a certain amount of firepower.

The vast majority of pirates sailed the most ordinary fishing boats, without even guns, and had to be beaten unilaterally when the battle began, praying that they would be able to get on the opposite deck before being sunk by cannonballs.

Therefore, if Zhang Heng plans to go it alone, the first thing to do is to find a ship, he has also gained some income from going to sea with the Sea Lion to plunder during this time, plus the income from helping the old pirate collect debts, he already has a certain amount of savings, but there is a considerable distance from buying a ship, even if it is just the most ordinary sloop.

Kidd's Treasure can undoubtedly solve this trouble, but the problem is that the timing of its appearance is too coincidental, just when Goodwin was about to challenge Orff, he helped the latter through this crisis of confidence, and what made Zhang Heng more worried was what happened later.

Orff used the news to stir up the emotions of the whole ship, and almost effortlessly thwarted Goodwin's challenge and secured his position, but strangely enough, he did not stop there, but continued to add firewood to the fire, making it burn more and more.

It was only recently that Zhang Heng suddenly realized that Orff's target may never have been Goodwin, he didn't regard the latter as a threat to him at all, but just used this matter to solve the current trouble, and now the crew of the Sea Lion has completely fallen into a frenzied atmosphere, and his influence on the ship has also reached its peak.

The previous battles are the best illustration, in the past, this kind of action that was completely disproportionate to the benefits would be vetoed by the crew before it began, but now no one on the whole ship raised any objections, and now even if Orff intends to lead this ship to hell, I am afraid that no one will object.

In such a situation, if Orff is really hostile to a certain crew member, then his situation will undoubtedly become very dangerous, so after discovering that someone is spying on him in the dark, Zhang Heng has been very low-key for a while recently, and in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he also deliberately reduced his contacts with other people.

However, sometimes if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.

Late at night, Zhang Heng was woken up from his sleep by a knock on the door, he opened the window and saw a black carriage parked downstairs.

"Who?" Anne yawned and poked her head out of the room.

"It's okay with you, go back to sleep." Zhang Heng recognized the carriage, got dressed, and walked downstairs, Marven's sleep quality has always been very good, even under such movements, he still snores like thunder.

Zhang Heng did not take the British saber that he had captured from an officer, but only brought a short musket for self-defense, and he walked to the carriage, where a sturdy coachman opened the door for him.

Behind the door was a familiar face, "I don't want to bother you at this time, but in comparison, you shouldn't want me to come in broad daylight." ”

Zhang Heng sat down in the opposite seat from the old pirate, the door of the carriage closed, and the wheels of the carriage rolled again.

"I'm going to be disappointed if you're here for Kidd's treasure, Orff is careful, no one knows where he put those maps, and as long as I haven't left the Sea Lion for a day, I'm still on the crew, and even if I know where those treasure maps are, I won't tell you."

"Kidd Treasure?" Fraser bared a mouthful of yellow teeth, "No, no, no, that kind of thing can only fool the idiots on the beach, you don't believe it yourself, right, Orff has always been good at this kind of thing, you have to admit that guy does have a talent for lying, but I have already been fooled by him once, and I will not be fooled a second time." ”

"Then why did you come to me tonight?"

"I have a gift and a message for you." The old pirate threw a small money bag to Zhang Heng, who opened it and found that there were only some worthless knickknacks such as change and belt rings.

"In order to thank you for your hard work during this time, I have decided to show my sincerity and give our mutual friend Vic the most complete rest, which is the only thing left in the world, and from now on you and your companions will not have to worry about anyone using him to blackmail you again."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Why did you do this?" ”

"I see that you seem to have been a little mistaken about me all along." Fraser moved his ass to sit more comfortably, "I've never been your enemy, we've known each other for so long, I've never forced you to do anything, right?" Even if I ask you to collect your debts, I will pay you handsomely, and if you want to learn to control the sails from Rothko, I will cooperate with telling you his secrets, and you will not find a second person in Nassau who is as kind as me. ”

Zhang Heng was silent, this is also his biggest question all along, in the past nine months, Fraser has obviously grabbed his handle but has been very polite, never really blackmailed him anything, as if it was really to collect debts, tonight the carriage appeared downstairs, Zhang Heng thought it was time for a showdown, but he didn't expect Fraser to take the initiative to return his handle, so it seems that even the only worry does not exist.

"I know what people here say about me in the past, and I'm sure you've heard of the feud between me and Orff, and you warn me because you think I'm going to use you to stir things up on the ship at some point, but in fact, I've completely let go of what happened back then after I retired."

The old pirate shrugged, "There are very few pirates in history who have died well, and in a sense, my life is not bad. Ironically, although I let go, the people who dealt with me back then don't seem to let go. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry that Orff is so prejudiced against me that he is still on the lookout for everything that concerns me, including you, and I just got the bad news that Orff intends to clear the ship of all instability the next time he goes to sea."

Fraser paused for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, you were implicated because of me, and I can't leave you alone, my power on the ship has been almost wiped out over the years, but if you are really in danger and need help, you can go to a carpenter named Kent." ”
