Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Lively Island

Humen Sanzhudao is completely different from what Dai Ran thought. In his imagination, it should be a small island with only a tomb and a lonely temple, on which there is nothing but the veterans guarding the temple.

Far away, three common fortune ships along the coast were moored. With three uncommon boneless fish, Dai Ran rowed a small fishing boat alone and approached the beach of this small island.

He had thought of his own excuse, he went out to sea to fish alone, and when he ran out of fresh water on the boat, he saw the island and was about to come over to make up for it. Unexpectedly, the beach on the island was lively like a market, and some old sailors kindly helped him dock the small fishing boat.

"Oh, what kind of good goods are you going to sell to an official?" The old fisherman said enthusiastically.

"There's nothing like that, any fish." Dai Ran saw this situation, and improvised to catch the boneless fish coiled in the leaky water tank.

"Oh, that's good."

As soon as I saw him, one hand grabbed the strong shark-like boneless fish, and the five fingers firmly stuck the gills of the fish, whether it hurt the fish. A man who looked like a butler next to him stood out of the shady shed in surprise.

I don't know if this sentence is to praise the fish or praise Dai Ran.

"Come on, send it over and have a look."

Dai Ran smiled, jumped off the gang of the boat barefoot, and walked steadily with his thumb and four other toes apart, like a person who lives on a fishing boat all year round.

"This fish lives in the coral all year round, but you have to dive to catch it, and we haven't seen one in the past few years." The middle-aged man looked at the goods at a glance, and quickly glanced at Dai Ran up and down, especially when he stopped on his feet for a while, and then he returned to his lazy appearance.

"Ahem!" Dai Ran spat out a mouthful of saliva and sighed.

"Who wants to catch them, the nets are thrown down and the reef is entangled, so I went down to take a look. Unexpectedly, I met these three guys. Well, I almost got a bloody hole in my arm. I grabbed it and threw it into the water tank on the ship, but I didn't expect to break the water tank when I returned the goods. Didn't you just pass by here, so I thought I'd give it to an official to taste."

"Oops, this is a real man. These must be given money, but they can't be asked for in vain."

Dai Ran saw that there was a big water tank next to the housekeeper's appearance, and there were a lot of good fish in it. He threw the two boneless fish into it, and then he held up the last boneless fish and said:

"This one was a little injured when it came up, and it seems that it can't hold on. Why don't I slaughter it for everyone to taste?"

The butler looked up and took a look, and sighed with a sigh.

"This thing, nine times out of ten, it's not satisfactory, forget it, the official only came over at night. We're blessed." After that, he glanced at Dai Ran with satisfaction.

Dai Ran didn't understand anything, he took out a small boning knife directly from his waist, and cut the boneless fish in three strokes and five by two, removing the head and tail, removing the internal organs, spreading out the fish, and cutting it into eight pieces. Then he pricked a piece with a knife and threw it directly into his mouth.

It's delicious! Although it is not the first time I have eaten it, the fish that seems to be still dancing in my mouth quickly and delicately melts away as soon as it meets my tongue.

Dai Ran had a look of enjoyment on his face, and he sewed his eyes.

When the housekeeper saw his movements, he didn't delay, and stabbed a piece with the knife he carried, and a few people next to him came up one by one in turn, and soon the boneless fish was distributed. Seeing this orderly order, Dai Ran knew that this should be the core personnel of Zheng Zhilong's pirates.

"Go and sit down there, I'll only come in the evening."

At this moment, the housekeeper-like talent was completely relieved and guided Dai Ran to his left hand. There are a lot of young people who look like fishermen here, listening to a few pirates talk about the past.

"How hard it is to fish, when will a boatload of fish be worth a few dollars? Look at us, we had a big deal with an official last time. It's all a Western devil ship with 3,000 materials

。 As soon as we leaned in, we jumped straight on. A boat full of red-haired and yellow-haired women knelt on the deck. There are also unconvinced foreign devils, Lao Tzu is also a knife, their necks are hard, and cutting off their heads is similar to killing fish. All that remains is gold and silver. You know it, and you never care about it. It's all these little soldiers who jumped ship that we picked first."

"Come on, eighty-five, why don't you tell the young people about the fate of those foreign women?" There's a pirate next to me interjecting.

The one turned his head to look at it before adding:

"Foreign women, one by one, they rush to the deck with seawater. You all know that Yiguan loves to be clean. The sea water is the best to flush blood, hahaha, the foreign woman has washed the boat clean."

Others didn't pay attention, only Dai Ran saw that someone came over and called the pirate who had just interjected away.

"I have an old lady and a mother-in-law in my family, if I go to the sea, the government will come to find trouble, and the government will not care about it?"

"Look at what you say. You don't know, this year has passed, and an official is about to become the commander of the Ming Dynasty's navy, and when we go ashore, we also have an official body, and we will live faster when we go to sea."

"Okay!"

Dai Ran smiled, it seems that the information is not very accurate, this is not only Zheng Zhilong's family temple, but also his base for recruiting new people. No wonder, I came up and was treated warmly.

Originally, he wanted to sneak back when he had a chance, but seeing this well-trained situation, he felt that he should stay and take a look at it.

Soon it was getting dark, and several bonfires were soon lit on the island, and fishermen gathered around them and began to barbecue and eat. Dai Ran also squeezed in, didn't look at the surrounding situation, and focused on eating.

Even if he hadn't operated His Majesty the Emperor's guards, he knew that the current situation was definitely not the case of Zheng Zhilong going to the island. There is a major in the academy, and they are constantly studying the protection of the emperor in various situations. Especially after the attack on his own emperor.

According to their research, clearance must be a necessary means in any case. Even if you put people in again after clearing the field, it is much better than not clearing the field.

There are many ways to make the emperor close to the people, but the academy believes that it is impossible to effectively protect the emperor by putting him into an environment where there is no screening at all. Especially with the increasing maturity of gunpowder and muskets. Whether on foot or in a carriage, the emperor had a high percentage of assassination deaths in the case of the Academy's mock assassination.

Therefore, as long as he is not clear, Zheng Zhilong cannot go to the island. This kind of thing, Zheng Zhilong should have learned with dozens of assassination experience.

"The official has landed on the island!" Someone in front shouted.

Dai Ran, like these young fishermen, enthusiastically crowded forward, ready to get a closer look at Zheng Zhilong's appearance.

Zheng Zhilong, who came with a dark face, and Dai Ran had seen it, and the portraits provided by Jin Yiwei were almost identical. But Dai Ran was even more sure that this person was not Zheng Zhilong.

Because he didn't see the big bear in leather armor that should have appeared next to Zheng Zhilong. He looked at the portrait of this guard more carefully than Zheng Zhilong's.

But unfortunately, it is true that I did not see the bear.

"Yiguan, my mother asked me to bring yellow mounting paper and gold ingots. Thank you for protecting us fishermen for a year."

"Yiguan, this is the purple pearl I found......

Everyone is very enthusiastic, the guards are very relaxed, and the officials are also very close to the people, but Dai Ran is very calm.

He knew that this was the one who was going to attract the Assassin from the crowd, but fortunately, the Assassin did not show up until the official entered the temple.

It was almost midnight, when the high tide was about to lift Dai Ran's fishing boat, and then the steward of the island began to send the fishermen away enthusiastically. Dai Ran knew that Zheng Zhilong was coming.

"An official ate your boneless fish, and praised it, saying that it was the best fish to eat this year."

Dai Ran did not wait for anyone to drive him away, but jumped into his fishing boat first.

"Good brother, come to the third if you have something

Zhudao, there are people waiting here at any time."

Dai Ran arched his hand, and the other party waved over and threw a small red flag.

"Stuck in the bow of the ship, more than a year."
