The boat continued on for about an hour, when the dawn began to brighten, and then a morning sun could be seen rising over the horizon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Suddenly, the entire sea seemed to be covered with a golden veil, and it looked very beautiful.

Jiang Xia has always stood on the deck, so he can see the beauty of the sunrise on the sea. He has lived in Fuqing County for a short time, and he has seen this beautiful scenery several times, but every time he sees it, he still feels that feeling of relaxation and happiness.

But soon, Jiang Xia's face changed slightly, and he whispered to himself: "It's here." ”

In the distance, five ships were coming towards them in an arc. Of the five ships, four are serial boats and one is a dragon ship. This dragon ship is not an ordinary thing, it is a warship that only the Great Ming Sailor can have. The bow of the ship is wrapped in iron sheets, with brass spikes erected, and five guns mounted on the hull, which is definitely a weapon of naval warfare.

On the masts of all five ships hung a canvas with the words "Tonghai" written on it. Obviously, all five ships belong to the Tonghai Gang. But it's normal to think about it, because the next twenty miles of the sea route is Zhouji Island, and there are no people from the Tonghai Gang here, and the prestige of the Tonghai Gang can only be said to be famous.

Jiang Xia's boat gradually slowed down after seeing the ship of the Tonghai Gang. In the end, he simply lowered the canvas and stopped where he was, waiting for the ship of the Tonghai Gang to come up.

Feeling that the ship did not continue to move forward, Jiang Xia, Xia Lin, Hai Dayou, as well as Mao Wensong and the two yacha he brought also walked out of the cabin together.

The six of them stood on the deck and waited, Mao Wensong and the two officials he brought were constantly panting, looking very nervous. On the other hand, Jiang Xia and the three of them were calm and calm, and their faces did not change at all.

Mao Wensong glanced at Jiang Xia secretly, and suddenly remembered what he had said before, so he also straightened his waist, and kept saying to himself in his heart: "You must not let this kid see his jokes, and he must not ......."

"Why, a few things that don't open your eyes, you don't go through the way into heaven, but you just break into hell without a door. I don't know if this is our Tonghai to help Cao Ye's territory? Today, the uncle is in a good mood, and he will give you a cup of tea and leave quickly, otherwise the uncle will be in a bad mood for a while, and he will directly chop them up and drink them. ”

On the fire dragon boat, a man carrying a steel knife, more than six feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, and a beard on his face, yelled at Jiang Xia and them.

Jiang Xia glanced back at Mao Wensong, meaning to say, it's time for you to come forward and speak at this time. Who knew that Mao Wensong directly gave Jiang Xia a look, nose, nose, nose, and heart, looking like an old monk in peace. Although he did not speak, the meaning was already very obvious. That is to kill Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will not talk to him.

Jiang Xia shook his head helplessly, then took two steps forward, stood at the bow of the boat and saluted the big man with a fist: "Jiang Xia of Fuqing County saw this uncle, and asked the uncle to report to the Cao gang leader, and said that it was the county master of Fuqing County, and he came to visit. The purpose is to discuss with the Cao gang leader and release the Cao gang leader's parents, wife and children. ”

Jiang Xia's words were so clear that even Mao Wensong had to praise silently in his heart. No wonder this person can be entrusted with such a heavy task by Xia County, and there is really something different from ordinary people.

As soon as Dahan heard Jiang Xia's words, his face suddenly softened. He muttered: "You officials can have such a good heart, that's what the hell is alive." ”

However, although he muttered like this, in the end, the big man still said to Jiang Xia: "You guys come with me." After speaking, Dahan shouted: "Turn the sails and return to the nest." ”

"Turn the sails, return to the nest. The pirates shouted, and then the five ships of the Tonghai Gang began to turn their heads and sail in the direction of Zhouji Island. The five of them led the way in front, and Jiang Xia and they followed behind in the boat.

Not long after sailing, Jiangxia saw Zhouji Island from a distance.

In the waters around Fujian, there are many desert islands. A few pop up every year for no reason, and then inexplicably drown a few. The wonder of nature is beyond human measure.

Zhouji Island itself is also a desert island, but since Cao Zhi and his people occupied this place, there has been a lot of improvement here. There are well-built docks and houses with heavy doors, which look a bit of a paradise.

After the boat docked, Dahan yelled at Jiang Xia and them: "Wait on the boat first, and I'll ask Cao Ye if he wants to see you." ”

Jiang Xia smiled slightly at the big man, hugged his fists and said, "There is labor." ”

Dahan looked at Jiang Xia twice and smiled. He said: "There are a few eggs under the crotch, and there is no young boy who can handle things, and he has lived on a dog for a long time, right?"

As he spoke, the big man stared at Mao Wensong twice, and then sneered: "Official ......" Then he shook his head, jumped ashore and walked to the island.

Jiang Xia and the others waited on the boat for about an hour, and they never saw anyone come to inform them to go in to see Cao Zhi. Jiang Xia had long expected this, because if it were him, he would be the same. Who wouldn't do this.

But Mao Wensong began to lose his breath as early as half an hour ago, and he kept saying: "A mere pirate dares to play with this official." Let's go, let's go back. It's a big deal not to see him. ”

Mao Wensong had already said these words several times, and Jiang Xia finally couldn't help but glance up at Mao Wensong, and said lightly: "What? Do you think this Zhouji Island is where you can come if you want to, and you can't leave if you want?"

"Why? Could it be that they still dare to detain the imperial court officials?" Mao Wensong shouted angrily. But as soon as he finished saying this, he was greeted by several stares like idiots. Even the two officials brought by Mao Wensong looked a little strange when they looked at him.

After all, this matter is obvious, people even dare to do it, how can they be afraid of you as a mere Bapin County? Mao Wensong probably also understood that he had made a mistake, and after snorting twice, he didn't speak again.

Then they waited for more than an hour, and when Mao Wensong and their stomachs were rumbling, the big man they had met before finally walked out slowly. Dahan beckoned to Jiang Xia and said, "Come along, Cao Ye has decided to see you." ”

Call...... Mao Wensong breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he had lost his temper and had lost his temper, and now he just wanted to see Cao Zhi quickly. Then he negotiated everything with Cao Zhi, and then left the place by boat.

I went ashore and walked all the way to the island. After passing through a bluestone road and turning into a meadow full of silver fir trees, Jiang Xia and his party finally saw a large courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is like the house of a large family, there are nine stone ladders, there are mighty lions, there is a vermilion gate, and there is a copper ring of the beast's mouth on the door.

The gate was wide open at the moment, and on the left and right stood two teams of sturdy guards, dressed in uniform black suits, holding bright steel knives in their hands.

After the big man crossed the threshold, he waved to Jiang Xia and them: "It's all a little bit of a slip, our Cao Ye's time is precious, and I don't have time to wait for you." ”

Jiang Xia nodded slightly at the big man, and his feet sped up.

After passing through the front yard, everyone came to a large playground, and at the end of the playground was the main courtyard of the atrium. On the main hall of the main courtyard, there are large gold lacquer characters, and the words "Yihai pride" are written on it.

Jiang Xia looked at the four words, his eyes rolled slightly, then lowered his head, and followed the big man into the main hall.

In the main hall, a man who looked to be thirty years old sat on the main seat. Holding a hot gaiwan teacup in his hand, he was gently blowing the hot air with his mouth.

People in Fuzhou Prefecture are rumored to be eight feet tall, six feet wide at the waist, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and infinite strength. He likes to eat human flesh raw, and has two nine-inch-long fangs on his upper jaw. But at this moment, since the man dared to sit upright, it was naturally Cao Zhi.

If you look closely, this person is less than six feet tall, with a thin body and a white face. Wearing a green shirt and long coat, he does not look like a pirate leader, but like a scholar.

Of course, this person's original identity was a scholar. And he is also a scholar in Yunshan Town, Fuqing County, which is only less than 30 miles away from Taohua Town.

Seeing Jiang Xia and them coming in, Cao Zhi put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Mao Wensong and them. His bright eyes carefully looked at each of them in Jiangxia, and finally his gaze was accurately placed on Mao Wensong, and said, "In Xia Caozhi, which one is Lord Mao Wensong of the county?"

Without waiting for Mao Wensong to reveal his identity, Jiang Xia and Xia Lin looked at Mao Wensong together. Mao Wensong coughed lightly twice, shook the hem of his clothes and said, "This official is." ”

"Oh. Cao Zhi nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea carefully, and said, "Come on, drag it out and kill it." ”

Soon, four men walked out from both sides of the hall, holding Cao Zhi hostage from left to right, and pulled them out of the main hall without saying anything. Mao Wensong was shocked and shouted loudly: "Let go of me, I am an official of the imperial court, if you kill me, you will be exterminated." Let go of my ......"

Hai Dayou's right hand silently touched the back of his waist, where there was a short knife. Just as he was about to draw the knife out, Jiang Xia patted Hai Dayou's hand. Then taking two steps forward, he suddenly laughed twice, "Hahahaha...... It is said that Cao Zhi, the leader of the Tonghai Gang, is so powerful, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that. I'm a little servant, and I feel like I look down on you. ”

"Wait. Cao Zhi ordered lightly, then looked at Jiang Xia and said, "You'd better make it clear what you mean by this, otherwise I don't guarantee that I will spare your life just because you are just a servant." ”

Jiang Xia snorted lightly, his voice full of disdain. He looked at Cao Zhi and asked with a mocking expression: "Isn't it rumored that the Cao gang leader likes to eat human flesh raw? Why, now he just kills people and doesn't eat meat?" Or...... Do you think Master Mao is too old, and the skin and flesh are too old to taste? Come on, come on, you eat mine, I'm young, and my skin and flesh are very tender. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xia pulled out a dagger from his right boot, aimed the handle at Cao Zhi, and then strode in front of Cao Zhi.

Jiang Xia's actions immediately stunned everyone. Including Cao Zhi, he was also looking at Jiang Xia in a daze at this moment. r1058
