Chapter Twenty-Seven: Raising the Flag and Retreating from the Enemy

Yu Ren saw that Li Yu was so sure, and he didn't know if she could handle this Zhong Liu, but he thought that she should have a way, so he didn't persuade him more.

After getting along in the past few days, Yu Ren felt more and more that the Li Yu he knew was not simple. Li Yu never mentioned his life experience to him, and Yu Ren didn't ask. However, not asking does not mean that you don't want to. Through contact and observation in the past few days, Yu Ren feels that Li Yu is definitely not just a daughter of an ordinary family. There seem to be many secrets in her. But Yu Ren doesn't care, he has always been an optimist, and he never thinks much about things he doesn't understand.

But Yu Ren's identity is becoming more and more strange. You say she's the daughter of a rich merchant! She is often very approachable, and she seems to be very familiar with a stall owner on Nadong Street. What kind of high-ranking official's son do you say? I can't see the slightest official atmosphere from her, not to mention that the second generation of officials in this era don't have to care about the opinions and comments of the grassroots on them. You have to say that she is just an ordinary lady! But she seems to have a lot of friends. Even the presiding officer of Foguang Temple in that ancient Huai Town also knows.

Yu Ren was thinking in his heart when more than a dozen pirates boarded another pirate ship. Each of these pirates had a man in his hand. As soon as they arrived on the ship, the pirates threw all the people they had been tied up on the deck.

Only then did Yu Ren see that it was none other than Li Xianzhong and his nine subordinates who were still arrogantly shouting to kill them all. Including Zhang Hu, who had just fallen into the sea, was also among them. Yu Ren didn't expect that Li Xianzhong would fall worse than them, and he couldn't help but feel very happy. Because of Li Xianzhong's unlucky appearance, it seems that these pirates in front of him have become less hateful.

The pirates on board were not idle, and they brought all the passengers on board to the deck from all cabins. Although the passengers were panicked, none of them dared to resist.

At this time, a man who seemed to be a small pirate leader came to the cabin of Yu Ren and the others with a large hammer in his hand.

The little boss reached out and pulled the hatch, only to find it closed. The little leader was furious. He yelled, "Fuck." He took two steps back, and was about to smash the hatch open with the iron hammer in his hand, when he heard a loud voice behind him, "Leave it to me!" ”

Yu Ren followed the voice and looked up. I saw a burly black man walking from the boat opposite. As soon as this big man appeared, everyone was shocked by him, and the pirates who were still talking about it also closed their mouths one by one, and no one dared to say a word.

When the little leader with the hammer saw this man, he hurriedly took a few steps back and stood aside respectfully.

"He's Zhong Liu." Li Yu whispered in Yu Ren's ear. Although Li Yu was actually very close to Yu Ren at this time, she spoke softly in Yu Ren's ear, and Yu Ren could clearly feel her exhalation. If it were normal, Yu Ren was afraid that he would have been tempted by her. But now, he didn't have that mind.

Seeing that this big black man Zhong Liu was walking towards this cabin, Yu Ren couldn't help but be anxious. He pushed Li Yu hard, "You guys go and hide under the bed, I'll deal with him." After saying that, Yu Ren grabbed his sword and prepared to give him a surprise attack when Zhong Liu broke through the door.

However, an unexpected scene happened to Yu Renwan. I saw that Ying'er, the little girl under Li Yu, actually stepped forward and took the initiative to open the door.

Zhong Liu, who was outside the door, didn't seem to expect the other party to suddenly make such a move. But he must have been a rough man, and when he saw that the hatch was open, he was ready to step in.

However, just as Zhong Liu was about to enter the door, a small flag stretched out from the hatch that was not very open.

When Zhong Liu suddenly saw this flag, he felt like he had been bitten hard by something. The outstretched foot quickly retracted and fell to its knees with a "flutter".

As soon as Zhong Liu knelt down, he was about to speak, but was stopped by a gesture from Ying'er. Zhong Liu didn't dare to speak again, just knelt with his head down, like a child who had made a mistake. Those pirates under Zhong Liu's men suddenly saw that the always arrogant boss actually knelt down in front of this ordinary hatch, and their hearts panicked.

In their minds, the Boss must have seen something terrifying in this ordinary cabin, or saw this terrifying figure. Otherwise, with their boss's temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth, how could he kneel.

So, one by one, the pirates all knelt down with interest, while everyone's eyes were fixed on the hatch, wanting to see what kind of terrible figure was hidden in this cabin.

However, what he didn't expect was that what they saw was a little girl who looked like a flower. She calmly stepped out of the cabin, and the pirates were stunned. They couldn't connect the delicate and cute little girl in front of them with the word terrible.

However, when they saw their eldest kneeling there, but did not dare to look up at the little girl, their hearts suddenly became nervous. So, everyone quickly followed and bowed their heads.

Ying'er looked at the appearance of the pirates bowing their heads, and then walked out of the cabin. She first put the Ling Qi into her arms, and then said to Zhong Liudao, "Lord Zhong Island, get up!" ”

Only then did Zhong Liu stand up again and again in thanks.

Ying'er said to Zhong Liudao again, "Lord Zhong Island, please go back!" Then take these guys that you have kidnapped with you. The guy in the brocade dress is a fat sheep, and with him he is better than a boatload of us. Please ask the owner of Zhong Island to raise his noble hand and let us these small fish and shrimp go! ”

Zhong Liu lowered his hands and stood aside to listen, as if a junior was listening to the teachings of his elders. Yu Ren, who watched it, was secretly surprised. couldn't help but ask Li Yu beside her, "What kind of flag is this girl Ying'er holding in her hand, how can it be so powerful?" ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "This, you will ask her in a moment." This girl has always been ghostly, and I don't know what the hell she's doing. ”

When the two were talking, Zhong Liu had already said to Ying'er, "Don't dare", and then hurriedly returned to his boat. Before leaving, they really only took Li Xianzhong and a few of them, and the people on this ship, who had been escorted to the deck, did not even touch a single hair.

The merchants of this ship saw that this group of pirates was coming viciously, but after no fighting, they were disgraced. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. However, they all saw Zhong Liu's respect for Ying'er with their own eyes, and they knew that all this must be related to the people in this cabin. But none of them dared to inquire.

After Zhong Liu and the others left, everyone went back to their respective cabins. But for the scene that appeared on the deck just now, although everyone saw it, no one dared to mention it, not even to talk about it in private.

After sending Zhong Liu away, the boat boss walked up. Thank you for the respectful kowtow to Ying'er. Ying'er helped him up. The boat boss didn't go. Ying'er saw that he seemed to want to speak and stopped, so she asked, "What, doesn't the boatman have something else to say?" ”

The boss of the boat said respectfully, "Back to the girl's words." Indeed, there is still something to ask the girl for. ”

"What's the matter, tell me! It doesn't have to be that formal. ”

Only then did the boat boss say, "I just looked at the sky." I am afraid that a strong wind will come soon. We have to find a port to dock. I want to ask the girl, are we going south and going to Quanzhou to take shelter from the wind? Or go back to Fuzhou to avoid the wind? ”

Ying'er glanced at the boat boss. "I can't be the master of this. You wait here for a while. I'm going to ask our young lady. ”

The captain of the ship stood respectfully outside the hatch and waited.

After a while, Li Yu walked out of the cabin and onto the deck. She stood on the deck and looked at the sky carefully, then looked down at the water. That's when the boat boss was called.

"You go and inform them, and you will return immediately. I'm afraid the gale will come soon. It's too late to go south to Quanzhou, according to this wind direction, we should still be able to rush to Changle to avoid the wind before the official arrival of the gale! I remember there was a smaller pier there as well. It should be able to help us avoid this gale. ”

The captain of the boat said yes and went immediately.

Sure enough, not long after the boat boss left, the wind began to blow on the sea. Then it rained heavily.

At first, the wind and rain were not too heavy, but as time went on, the sea breeze became stronger and the rain became heavier.

At this time, the water began to fill the cabin, and the dock was still not visible.

Yu Ren is still the first time in his life to take a sea boat, he has taken a river boat before, and the feeling of the river breeze is really refreshing. He thought it would be more enjoyable to take a sea boat. Unexpectedly, he didn't feel the taste of refreshment, but he encountered several dangers in succession first.

Only then did Yu Ren realize that today's sea ships are very different from the sea ships of later generations. Not only did these ships not have power, but their hulls were made of wood, which was nowhere near as strong as later generations. This kind of ship is sailing on the sea, and that is very dangerous. In the event of a strong sea breeze, there is a danger of shipwreck, not to mention pirates.
