After speaking, Yu Ren jumped off the table. He felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and now that everyone understood his thoughts, he didn't have to hide it anymore. It's okay in this way, Li Ying doesn't have to be as evasive as she was at the beginning, but deliberately avoid herself.

This banquet was eaten until the middle of the moon, and then it dispersed. Yu Ren was also drunk and didn't even know how to get back.

When Yu Ren woke up, he found himself lying on a comfortable bed. Yu Ren looked around, this room was very large, and the four walls were very warmly arranged, looking like a girl's embroidery room.

By the windowsill, Li Ying was sitting on a brocade stool, working hard with a piece of embroidery in her hand. In front of her, there was another piece of delicate embroidery that had been embroidered, on which were embroidered two lifelike mandarin ducks.

Li Ying's movements are very clumsy, and she looks like a novice completely. Obviously, she rarely does such needlework, and Yu Ren also believes that with her position and character, she will definitely not like to do such things. However, now she was trying to imitate the piece of embroidered cloth in front of her.

Yu Ren was a little puzzled. He didn't know that Li Ying was because he heard a sister-in-law on the island inadvertently say last night, saying that men like gentle women, and if women can't even do such a simple job as embroidery, then they will definitely not be able to cage men's hearts. So, Li Ying, the eldest lady who had never held an embroidery needle since she was a child, began her difficult study, because she wanted to cage the heart of the man in front of her.

Yu Ren was looking at it intently, and suddenly a voice came from outside the door. "Miss, miss."

Li Ying was distracted, the needle in her hand was punctured, and a needle was immediately pricked on her finger, and blood came out. Li Ying only frowned slightly, then stood up, and at the same time glanced back at Yu Ren.

Yu Ren quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He still doesn't want to get out of bed. Just lying like this, quietly looking at his sweetheart in the dark, Yu Ren felt that this was the greatest enjoyment of his life. He didn't want to break the atmosphere.

Li Ying glanced back at Yu Ren, and saw that he hadn't woken up yet, so she hurriedly made a small movement. "Shhhh Be quiet. He hasn't woken up yet, so don't bother him. ”

Ying'er saw that the eldest lady was holding the piece of embroidered cloth she asked for last night, trying to imitate it, and couldn't help sighing. "Miss, why bother! You have so many important things to do. This kind of simple thing, just leave it to Ying'er. What do you want to embroider, just tell Ying'er, why do you have to do it yourself! ”

Li Ying glanced at Yu Ren again, and then said casually, "No! Although needlework is simple, it is the basic skill of women for us! I can do the needlework to you, but I can't leave it to you! As she spoke, Li Ying pouted to Yu Ren, who was lying on the bed.

"Our Ying'er is such a clever beauty, if I hand him over to you. I'm afraid that in a few days, he will forget about me. ”

When Ying'er heard this, her face turned red, "Who is rare about him." You treat him as if he were a treasure, and I don't like him. ”

Li Ying saw that Ying'er was shy, so she didn't say anything more. Li Ying has no sisters, Ying'er has been by her side since she was a child, and in her heart, she has always treated Ying'er as her sister. Because of this, the relationship between the two is extremely close, even if it is such a joke, it doesn't matter.

"By the way, you came to me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Ying'er stomped her feet and said anxiously, "Look at the one who was interrupted by you, I almost forgot about my business." Jiang Jiulang: They are back. ”

When Li Ying heard this, she was immediately furious, she threw off the white cloth in her hand that had not been embroidered with a few stitches, and hurriedly walked out, scolding non-stop, "This guy still dares to come back." Okay, then arrest them all first. Interrogation again. ”

Ying'er, who was following behind, shook her head secretly. This is her own young lady, and she is not the material to do this kind of fine work. How long has it been? The original form was immediately revealed!

When Yu Ren heard that Jiang Jiulang was back, he no longer pretended to be asleep. Quickly got up from the bed, followed behind Li Ying's master and servant, and rushed to the dock.

By the time Yu Ren arrived at the dock, Li Ying had already arrived, and there were many Li Jiajun who arrived before him. The nine warships that were originally brought out by Jiang Jiulang were all neatly parked in the harbor. The people on board have disembarked.

As soon as Li Ying arrived at the dock, she immediately ordered to arrest the leaders of the nine boats first.

The nine chieftains did not resist. When they arrived at Chenqian Island last night according to Jiang Jiulang's words, and saw that it had already been occupied by Li Qiang and them, they knew that they had made a big mistake.

Liu Qiang scolded Jiang Jiulang on the spot, but because Liu Qiang's status and position in the Li family were not as high as Jiang Jiulang's, although he was not angry at his broken contract, he couldn't do anything to him.

However, after these nine leaders heard that Liu Qiang and Yu Ren had occupied Chenqian Island the night before, they all knew that they would inevitably have to be punished when they went back.

Didn't rush to Chen Qian Island at the time agreed by the eldest lady in advance, and delayed the fighter, what a big deal! It doesn't matter how the eldest lady punishes herself. The nine of them are all old men of the Li family, and they have followed Li Dan since the East, and they can be said to be absolutely loyal to the Li family. In their hearts, the Li family is also their own home.

Therefore, although they knew that there would be no good fruit to go back, they still insisted on rushing to the Daqushan headquarters in the starry night.

"What about Jiang Jiulang?" Li Ying saw that she didn't see Jiang Jiulang, so she asked one of the leaders.

"I don't know, when we docked just now, we saw him?"

At this time, a handful of people who had just come off the boat said, "I just saw the leader of the river driving a small boat alone to the southwest. ”

Li Ying snorted coldly. "I want to run! Little Liu, you go and take twenty people and drive a fast boat to chase after you. I will see men in life and corpses in death. ”

A slender young man of seventeen or eighteen years old standing on the side agreed, and then led twenty brothers to board the boat to chase Jiang Jiulang.

Li Ying then asked the nine leaders to be brought to her council hall in Daqu Mountain. This council hall is much larger than Wentao Temple. Because Daqu Island is very large, it is nearly 100 miles long and dozens of miles wide, which is almost the size of a county. But there are very few inhabitants of the island. In the eastern part of Li Ying's family, there are only two villages and more than 100 fishermen.

This island is very close to Hangzhou Bay, only a few dozen miles to the southwest of the sea road can reach Zhoushan, and then dozens of miles to the west is Ningbo Mansion. Therefore, it is very convenient. Because the Ming court did not set up a yamen on this island, naturally no one took care of it.

Li Ying then took a group of people and used this as their headquarters in Zhejiang. Although the two guards of the imperial court were on Zhoushan Island, dozens of miles away, Li Ying was not worried at all. First, it is because these people in their Li family have always been mainly engaged in business, farming, and fishing, and have never been in the business of robbery; Second, even if the imperial court sent troops, they were not afraid, because they also built forts on the island, and their strength was far stronger than these two guards.

The nine leaders were brought to the council hall, Li Ying sat in the center, and Ying'er stood next to her. Yu Ren also came at this time, but he didn't come out, just stood below with the rest of the brothers.

Li Ying sat down and sank her face. "Uncle Xiao Qi. You are all the old men of our Li family. This delayed the fighter plane, so that the brothers who ventured to the island were almost killed by Zhong Laosan's people, you should know how heavy this crime is!

However, I couldn't figure out why. Why are you doing this? ”

Seeing that the eldest lady called her name, among the nine leaders, a tall half-old man in his fifties stood up.

Hearing that Li Ying also called him Uncle Xiao Jiu, the old man's hanging heart suddenly let go of half of it. He hurriedly replied to Li Ying: "Miss, we were all deceived by Jiang Jiulang's kid.

At that time, we originally went to Chen Qianshan at the time agreed by everyone in advance. However, not long after the fleet departed, a clipper came. The person who came was one of Jiang Jiulang's subordinates, and he handed Jiang Jiulang a letter and left.

When Jiang Jiulang received the letter, he told us that it was the latest order from the eldest lady, saying that the overall operation would be postponed for one day, and that we must not push closer to Chen Qian Island too early, so as not to be discovered by Zhong Laosan. So, shortly after we set off that day, we stopped on a deserted island halfway through. ”

Li Yingqi's face flushed. "You are all old people who have followed my father for many years. Although Jiang Jiulang is your leader. However, I gave the order to attack Chenqian Island. Wouldn't you use your brains to think about such an important matter, how could I possibly let you change the time at will? ”

"Jiang Jiulang told us at the time that it was because our ball had a temporary problem and needed to be repaired. And he showed us the letter that the man had sent. So, we believed. ”

"Is it my handwriting?" Li Ying asked.
