Chapter Seventy-One: Attacking the Heart
As soon as Yu Ren saw that he had captured Zhong Laosan, he immediately gagged his mouth and brought it to the pirates who were still desperately rushing towards the mountain.
Yu Ren put the knife on Zhong Laosan's neck and shouted to the more than three hundred pirates below the mountain, "You listen to me." Your heads.
Zhong Laosan has been caught by us. We are from the Li family. This hijacking of a merchant ship at sea, the person who is in trouble with our Li family is Zhong Laosan, and it has nothing to do with you. As long as you lay down your arms, I promise not to hurt your lives. There are those who are willing to leave, albeit to leave. There are those who are reluctant to leave. You can continue to live on the island, and as a member of our Li family, we will still treat you as brothers to our Li family, as before. ”
These people were still desperately rushing up the mountain, because they saw that their boss was angry and killed two people in a row today, and they were worried that if they didn't try their best, they might become the boss's ghost. At this time, I suddenly heard that the boss was captured by the people of the Li family. Truth be told, more than half of these people are secretly happy. They finally got rid of this vicious leader and lived a peaceful life.
As soon as Yu Ren finished speaking, he saw that on the hillside, more than 100 people suddenly dropped their weapons.
Seeing that this trick had an obvious effect, Yu Ren couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and his self-confidence also increased greatly, so he raised his voice and said, "Please rest assured." I pledge to you today with Leader Liu. As long as you lay down your arms, I will not trouble you. However, we will never let go of those who are stubborn.
In a few moments, our Li family's army will arrive. When the time comes, if you want to surrender again, it won't be so easy. Our Li family is not an easy master to kill, and we don't want to see more brothers shed blood. So I'm giving you a chance now, and if you miss it, then don't blame me. ”
This time, more than half of the people down the hillside had dropped their weapons. Those who originally wanted to resist also laid down their weapons when they saw that the brothers around them had laid down their weapons. So, for a while, the "clanging" sound of throwing weapons sounded one after another under the hillside.
Those sworn friends of Zhong Laosan, seeing that the general trend had gone, also quickly turned around and fled down the mountain.
As soon as Liu Qiang saw it, he wanted to send someone to chase him. Yu Ren hurriedly stopped him. "No, we've already said that. Let them go freely. If we chase after us now and make a bad fuss, these people will think that our words don't count. If they take up arms again and fight with us, then we will be in danger. Yu Ren whispered in Liu Qiang's ear.
Sure enough, these pirates standing on the hillside watched as the henchmen of Zhong Laosan fled towards the fort, but none of them stopped them. Many people did not look at the five people who fled, but at Yu Ren and Liu Qiang standing on the hillside, to see if they had any action.
Although they were temporarily moved by Yu Ren's words, they still couldn't believe it all. After all, this is a major matter related to the life of the family, and it must not be sloppy. If it weren't for the fact that they had dealt with the Li family for several years and knew that Miss Li had always kept her promises, they wouldn't have believed Yu Ren's words so easily.
Until Zhong Laosan's five cronies escaped to a small boat by the fort and set sail for the sea. The last few people on these hillsides who did not drop their weapons finally laid down their weapons as well. Yu Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Liu Qiang, "Okay." Go down and arrange for them. But it's important to remember that you can't embarrass them. If anyone deliberately makes things difficult, he will be severely punished. Yu Ren's words were so loud that not only Liu Qiang could hear them, but also their brothers, and Zhong Laosan's subordinates under the mountain could also hear them clearly.
As soon as Yu Ren stabilized the situation on Chen Qian Island, he immediately asked Liu Qiang to send people to release all the merchants who had been kidnapped by Zhong Laosan. Even their goods were returned to them, as well as their ships. Although after this catastrophe, the merchants have lost some of their goods. However, they are still grateful to Yu Ren. You know, being hijacked by pirates at sea and escaping alive is already a good ending, not to mention that they only lost so many cargo.
No one dared to complain about the failure of the Li family's order flag, which caused them to suffer this catastrophe. They didn't even dare to think about it. They have only gratitude to the Li family.
When Yu Ren and the others were carrying more than 300 pirates from Chenqian Island and the merchants who had just been rescued by them, they were about to return to Daqu Mountain, it was already early afternoon. Yu Ren instructed Liu Qiang to divide his brothers into two teams, one team led by Liu Qiang to stay on Chenqian Island, and by the way, help the merchants who loaded the goods on the island; The other team accompanied Yu Ren to escort the captives back to Daqushan.
Not long after the boat they had found from Chenqian Island had left the island, they were confronted by a convoy of merchant ships. There were seven merchant ships in this group, all of them sea-going ships, and all of them were equipped with black cannons.
Luckily, these merchant ships have a big flag on them. There was a big "Lee" written on it. Yu Ren saw this flag clearly, and then he was relieved.
The two fleets met and greeted each other. Only then did Yu Ren know that this merchant fleet was led by Mr. Qu himself, and there were also 200 Li Jiajun who brought reinforcements from Wentao Academy in Hangzhou.
Yu Ren boarded Mr. Qu's ship, and then he knew. It turned out that it was Mr. Qu who felt uneasy after they left, so he temporarily requisitioned seven Li family merchant ships that had just returned from the Oriental deprecation and docked at Daqushan. Mr. Qu hurriedly unloaded part of the cargo on the merchant ship, and then rushed to Chenqian Island with 200 men from Wentao Yuan to support.
Originally, Li Ying wanted to come with the ship, but Mr. Qu felt that something was not quite right with this Jiang Jiulang recently, so he strongly persuaded Li Ying to stay on the island of Daqushan and sit in the base camp in case of accidents.
Yu Ren also briefly told Mr. Qu how he sneaked onto the island, how he was attacked by Shi Tingzhu, and how he finally lured Zhong Laosan. These people who came on the same boat couldn't help but secretly admire when they heard that Yu Renzhi had captured Zhong Laosan.
In their eyes, Yu Ren was originally just a person who relied on the relationship of the eldest lady, and this was the only person who was reused. But this time, with his own actions, he changed his image in the hearts of everyone.
Hearing that he was slashed by Shi Tingzhu's sneak attack, Mr. Qu asked worriedly, "How is it?" Is it badly injured? ”
"It's fine. This time, it's really thanks to you eldest lady! Otherwise, I'm really not going to come back. With that, Yu Ren took off his coat, revealing a silver-gray soft armor inside.
Everyone around let out an exclamation, and they all showed envy.
"What? Did the eldest lady actually give you this gold and silver armor? This time, even Mr. Qu was surprised.
"What gold and silver armor?" Yu Ren was puzzled.
"That's what you're wearing! Don't you know? Mr. Qu looked surprised.
Yu Ren shook his head. "I don't know! Before I left, your eldest lady sent Ying'er to send this soft armor, and she specially told me to wear the soft armor inside. But they didn't tell me what kind of armor it was. ”
Mr. Qu nodded. "I see. This gold silk and silver armor is still the family heirloom of the eldest lady. It is said that the eldest lady and her grandfather got it by chance. Later, it was passed on to the master as a family heirloom. When the eldest lady was fifteen years old and brought the ship back to her hometown from the East, the lord gave this heirloom soft armor to the eldest lady.
Don't underestimate this piece of soft armor, it can not only be anti-knife and gun, but also anti-poison. It is said that the person who wears it can be invulnerable!
In the past few years, the eldest lady has always worn it on her body, and she has never been out of it for a day. Didn't expect ......"
Yu Ren heard that this soft armor was so good, and Li Ying cherished it so much, but he took it off for himself. This made Yu Ren's heart a little more moved, and in the past few days, the unhappiness caused by Li Ying's indifference to him disappeared without a trace.
Since Yu Ren and the others were too few to stay on Chenqian Island, Mr. Qu divided the 200 people he brought with him into 150 people and rushed to Chenqian Island to help Liu Qiang defend the island, and the rest of the people returned to Daqushan with them.
When Yu Ren and his party appeared in the northern port of Daqushan, he saw that the dock of the port was already full of people who greeted them. And the one who is the leader is Li Ying.
