Port of Hangzhou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Several large ships are neatly docked in the harbor, and various flags flutter in the wind on the watchtower.

The docks were crowded with people, and stevedores shouted in unison, carrying batches of heavy cargo into the holds.

Chen Xu was wearing a white gold-silk cloud dragon pattern robe, carrying a long sword and walking into a tavern near the dock to inquire about the news.

The tavern was bustling with sailors, gulping down and talking about anecdotes about their time at sea. Others asked around the tavern to see if any fleet was willing to recruit sailors.

Chen Xu asked for a jar of good wine, chose an empty table to enjoy alone, and casually searched for information about the task from the conversations of the drinkers.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor reopened the sea ban, and many merchants organized fleets to sail back and forth between East Asia and Southeast Asia. There were even fleets that sailed to the Indian Ocean at all costs, buying musk, ambergris and other spices from there to make huge profits.

Chen Xu lowered his head and pondered, during the Wanli period, the fight against the Japanese invaders, navigation, and Hangzhou Port, these factors were combined, and the only mission background he could think of was only one - the game "Age of Exploration 4 Power Enhanced Edition".

The publisher of this mission is likely to be Li Huamei, nicknamed "Xiang Scarlet Tiger".

He inquired, and the Li family's fleet had just returned from Macao, and was docking at the dock to rest at this time.

Dropping a few copper plates, Chen Xu found the Li family's fleet with the help of passers-by.

Coastside.

Li Huamei looked at the blue sea in a daze.

In order to fulfill her father's will to fight against the Japanese invaders, with the help of her father and friend Uncle Yang, she supported the entire Li family with her thin body, led the fleet to the sea to trade, and accumulated funds to fight against the Japanese invaders.

She was wise, resolute, and brave, and made her known as the "Scarlet Tiger" on the sea, which terrified pirates and pirates.

But is all this really what she wants?

Her father's will and national righteousness were like a mountain, and she was almost out of breath.

I really want to be like other girls, to be able to laugh happily, cry sadly, and lose my temper and play a little bit at my beloved for no reason.

Everything she once longed for was far away from her after receiving the news of her father's death.

She had to put on a mask and pretend to be strong, from an innocent little girl to a scarlet tiger that everyone fears.

She brushed her hair through the sea breeze. Gaze turned around, returning to his former indifference.

"Beauty, do you recruit guards?"

The voice sounded in her ears, Li Huamei suddenly shook her head, her body instantly took a few steps back, and the short sword hidden in her long sleeves quietly slipped into her hand, assuming a defensive posture.

Chen Xu stood in place, looked at this resolute and resolute woman with pity, and asked again, "Admiral Li, do you still recruit guards for your fleet?" ”

Li Huamei put away the short sword, and smiled secretly in her heart, she was a little absorbed in thinking just now, and she didn't even notice that a stranger walked to her side.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, "If you want to be the guard of our fleet, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." Come with me and let me see if you're qualified. ”

She took Chen Xu to the ship and called Shiraki Xingjiu for testing.

Bai Mu Xingjiu casually picked up a wooden knife and stood with the knife in his hand, signaling that Chen Xu could start attacking.

Seeing this, the sailors on the ship gathered around to see who wanted to challenge the first samurai of the fleet, Shiraki Yukihisa.

Li Huamei's eyes were half-squinted, and she hoped with some malice in her heart that Xingjiu would be able to teach this stranger a hard lesson.

As for the reason, maybe it's because of this person's slightly frivolous tone, or maybe it's because it disturbs her rare quiet life.

Yang Xien stood beside Li Huamei and asked curiously, "Huamei, who is this person?" ”

"Just a guy who wants to apply for a guard." Li Huamei replied lightly.

Is it just a person applying for a guard?

Yang Xien felt a little strange in his heart, even if he applied for a guard, as long as he casually showed his hand, he didn't need to let Xingjiu compete with him at all, right?

Chen Xu in the field didn't seem to take the test seriously at all, he stood there carelessly, yawning boredly.

Xingjiu felt that the other party's behavior was an insult, so he took a few steps forward and slashed diagonally with his knife.

Swish!

Split the air.

Xingjiu took two steps forward to unload the strength on his body, turned around and stood, holding the knife in both hands and staring at Chen Xu.

"You are very strong, I, Bai Mu Xingjiu, will go all out, be careful."

"Well, I will." Chen Xu nodded indifferently.

Xingjiu paced, moving back and forth around Chen Xu with a knife, trying to disrupt his breathing rhythm and find a flaw to attack.

Dozens of breaths passed.

Yukihisa still didn't launch any attacks.

There are no flaws!

Dangerous, very dangerous.

Xingjiu was horrified in his heart, the other party seemed to be scattered, but in fact, his whole body was in a state of imminent battle. As long as you come forward to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Could it be that he is the rumored martial arts master, who has reached the realm of introverted spirit?

The sailors couldn't see the state of the two, and they all bowed their heads and discussed.

What's going on?

What exactly is Xingjiu doing?

Why did he keep circling around the man, just not attacking?

We took the risk of being scolded by the Admiral and Lord Yang, and left our work in our hands to watch you compete, and the two of you will show us this?

Yang Xien clenched his fists, "Xingjiu has encountered a strong enemy, a strong enemy that is so strong that he doesn't dare to make a move. ”

Li Huamei couldn't tell how she felt, was she happy that she was about to recruit a master? Or is it because Xingjiu didn't teach the other party a hard lesson?

Shiraki Yukihisa in the field felt that he couldn't drag it any longer, and if he dragged it any longer, he would lose the courage to attack.

Not even having the courage to make a move in the face of a strong enemy is the act of a coward.

Yukihisa's sense of honor as a samurai prompted him to attack.

"Self-Flow Swordsmanship - Double Swallow Slash!"

Xingjiu was as light as a petrel, and quickly swept towards Chen Xu, leaving only an afterimage in place.

Swish!

The first knife missed the target.

This knife was a false move, and he quickly turned around and slashed it again.

Airplanes~~~

The strong knife momentum caused the air to vibrate.

However, that's all.

"You've lost."

A slightly lazy voice sounded behind Yukihisa.

There was a biting chill around his neck, and a long sword was on his shoulder.

Xingjiu turned around calmly, bent down 90 degrees and said respectfully to Chen Xu: "In Shimobaimu Xingjiu, it is really an honor to be defeated in the hands of a master like Your Excellency. I hope that your Excellency will not hesitate to teach you swordsmanship. ”

"Well, it depends on the mood." Chen Xu still looked a little lazy.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, how could it be that in the blink of an eye, Shiraki Yukijiu lost? This competition must have ended too quickly, right?

Li Huamei clapped her hands, stepped forward and glanced at Chen Xu up and down, "Very good, from today onwards, you will be the escort of the Li family's fleet." ”
