Chapter 158: Annie's Cabin

The Jackdaw's maiden voyage was a big victory, and it was not surprising that the Black Merchants Alliance couldn't sit still, especially after he established cooperation with Karina, the Black Merchants Alliance found that the Jackdaw had a channel to cash in the loot, and the only negotiating advantage no longer existed, so it naturally began to look for other solutions.

Fraser was right to say that he and the Jackdaw needed time to grow, but the same applies to the newborn Black Merchant Alliance.

A group of black marketeers, led by Raymond and Malcolm, in pursuit of profit and hope to establish a trade order on the island and end the chaos that has been in place, they have won a sufficient number of supporters and allies through a series of means, and almost the most powerful pirate groups on the island are on their side, but on the other hand, there are always voices of opposition.

What they are doing now is not in line with the spirit of freedom and adventure that Nassau has always advocated, especially among the small and medium-sized pirates, many people are dissatisfied with the current price plan, but compared with the organized black merchant alliance, they lack a sense of leadership and cooperation, and they have always been scattered, and sporadic resistance can not make any splash at all.

However, now Zhang Heng's appearance has given them hope again, and the Jackdaw is now the only pirate group in the whole of Nassau that has the strength but has not cooperated with the Black Merchants Alliance, and has invisibly become a banner for opponents.

Things are no longer just a matter between the Jackdaw and the Black Merchant Alliance.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Heng, whether he wants it or not, he and his Jackdaw have been pushed to the forefront again, but on the other hand, countless pairs of eyes are now staring at them, and the two sides can only solve the problem by means within the rules.

This is undoubtedly more beneficial to Zhang Heng, because as long as the Jackdaw develops normally, it will make the Black Business Alliance more and more uncomfortable, but what he didn't expect was that Malcolm, as the number two person, would find him so quickly.

"I checked, six days later, at the dinner at Terence Manor, Malcolm invited a lot of well-known people on the island, including some well-known captains, large landowners on the island, etc., mainly to thank them for their support for the Black Merchant Alliance, there should be no problem in terms of security." Billy, the helmsman, was very competent, and he went to investigate the matter as soon as Zhang Heng received the invitation, and came to the door early the next morning to tell the latter the results.

"Good work," Zhang Heng thanked.

Waiting for the helmsman of the Jackdaw to leave, Anne yawned and walked downstairs, "Are you really going to that dinner?" ”

"Well, Malcolm wants to know what kind of person I am, and I also want to know what the Black Traders Alliance is going to do next." Zhang Heng explained.

"Ah, I don't understand what you guys are thinking at all, if you encounter an enemy, you can just cut it directly, why do you need so much nonsense?" The red-haired girl muttered as she sat down at the table, scooping up the jam and spreading it on the bread.

"I sometimes wish things could have been so simple." Zhang Heng paused, "Don't talk about this, how is your house?" ”

"It's not bad, Harry asked me around, and finally found a house that was almost exactly the same as I imagined, it was very close to the docks, only a quarter of an hour away, there were two taverns on the next street, and they didn't close all night, and there was a small open space behind me where I could practice knives, and the most important thing was that it was only 200 silver pesos, Harry said that the price could be a little cheaper, I thought it would suit me, and I was going to pay in the afternoon."

"That's hello."

Zhang Heng knew the meaning of this cottage to Anne, she fled from a wealthy family and came to Nassau to pursue freedom, when she was a child, she often saw her mother, who was born as a maid, cautious in front of her father, and it was also from then on that she became rebellious, the red-haired girl didn't want to live under the fence like her mother, who she relied on to live, so she would be so serious about the previous agreement to give half of the spoils to someone.

The two agreed from the beginning that Anne would just stay here for a while, and when she had money, she would move out, and now that the day finally came, Anne began to look for a house on the island as soon as she got her share of the loot, and until today, she finally found a satisfactory place to live and realized her long-held dream.

But her dream has changed a little bit to this day.

"From now on, no one will be able to stop me from putting my feet on the table!" The red-haired girl said heroically, "No one can force me to finish the soup in the bowl!" ”

“…………”

Zhang Heng originally planned to help Anne move together, but at noon, the crew of the Jackdaw clashed with another group of pirates in the courtyard, and Zhang Heng, as the captain, had to deal with the dispute.

The matter is not big, although there was a group fight, but no one died, only an unlucky guy on the opposite side was stabbed in the thigh, Zhang Heng arrived at the courtyard when the two sides were confronting, the unlucky ghost who was stabbed in the leg had already bandaged the wound.

He briefly learned what had happened, and knew that the conflict was because the two sides were fighting over a maid, who had already been taken over by the pirates of the Hunter, but because the pirates of the Jackdaw were willing to pay double the price, the maid changed his mind again, and the pirates of the Hunter felt that their male dignity had been insulted, so the two sides fought......

This kind of thing basically happens in every house, and generally speaking, as long as you lose a little money, it will pass, but now the whole of Nassau knows that the Jackdaw has made a lot of money, and the Hunters can't help but be greedy, and the lion opened his mouth on the compensation, and after being refused, they blocked the people of the Jackdaw here.

The captain of the Hunter stood up from the table and straightened his collar, but Zhang Heng didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and said directly, "Release people." ”

"No problem, as long as you pay for the medical expenses of 20 Spanish gold coins." The former grinned.

"It seems that we can't agree on this issue, so let's follow the old rules." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he directly pulled out the saber on his waist.

The captain of the Hunter changed his expression when he saw this, he didn't expect the other party to be so cruel, the so-called old rule means that if the two gangs of pirates disagree, they can use the captain to settle the dispute in two ways: heads-up and group fighting, Zhang Heng's meaning at this moment is undoubtedly to choose the first one.

If it was twenty years ago, he wouldn't have minded accepting the challenge, but now that he is old and out of shape, the odds of winning are not high, so he hurriedly said, "There are many of us, why should I go head-to-head with you?" ”

But as soon as he said this, he blushed first, and even the pirates who belonged to the Hunter behind him showed disdain, and among the pirates who admired martial arts, this kind of cowardly cowardice behavior would undoubtedly be despised by everyone.

However, at this time, in order to make a false accusation, the captain of the Hunter had to put his face aside first.

"Gang fighting? Are you sure. Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, he withdrew his saber, and turned his head to look at the prostitutes who were watching the excitement not far away, "Ten silver coins for the person who killed a hunter, who participated?" ”

As soon as his words fell, a large number of people suddenly stood up in the courtyard.
