Liulin North, Jiulipo.

Haw Par Villa, the riders return.

It was past noon, outside the hall.

Qin Hu made an invitation.

"Engong Guang fell, the tiger slightly prepared a thin table, and the hospitality was not good. Please, please!"

As soon as Wang Lie entered the hall, the lights were bright, the wine was like a forest, and the guests were entertaining the distinguished guests with delicacies.

Wang Lie smiled and said: "Lord Qin Zhuang is so pompous, I knew that you Zhuang people were so busy, so I didn't dare to disturb it." ”

Qin Huhu said with a face: "What are these words, Haicheng Gong can be described as a kind reinvention to Qin Hu, and today I have the honor to wash the dust for the public, how dare I slack off." Please—"

After some chatter, Wang Lie, Qin Hu and others sat down as guests.

A few maidservants brought flasks and filled the tables one by one.

Qin Hu said to the people around him: "Brothers, let me introduce you, this is what I often tell you about Wang Lie, the word Haicheng!"

"Haicheng Gong, fortunately, fortunately!" everyone stood up and clasped their fists and saluted.

"Fortunately!" Wang Lie also got up and saluted left and right.

Qin Hu also got up and said, "Do you know where Haicheng came from?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Qin Hu said: "He is the businessman with the highest martial arts skills today, and he is also the richest hero on the rivers and lakes!"

Quite a few people laughed.

"What Meng Qiu said, don't hold me up to the sky!" Wang Lie said with a smile.

"The most important thing is that he is my Qin Mengqiu's great benefactor! Without him, there would be no villa where we are today, come, everyone raise their glasses-"

Qin Hu and his brothers toasted and saluted Wang Lie.

Wang Lie waved his hand humbly and said: "Back then, it was just a gesture, but I didn't expect that Meng Qiu would remember it today." ”

Qin Hu said excitedly: "How can I be an ungrateful person, a life-saving grace at sea back then, Meng Qiu is unforgettable, I said, in the future, I will definitely come to the picture!"

Wang Lie stopped and said: "This is serious, it is better to respect the leopard brother under Jiuquan first." ”

Wang Lie raised his glass and did not drink, but sprinkled it in front of the case.

Qin Hu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be!

"Well, we are here today, but ...... My leopard brother and those companions are dead in the ocean, and heaven and man are forever separated, and they want to come...... How can you not make me sad!"

For a while, the atmosphere in the originally lively hall changed, and everyone gradually quieted down.

"Owner, how did the second master die, I have never heard you say it. "A village is humane.

"Yes, yes!" said all the villagers.

"That's Jiajing Renzi's age......" Qin Hu put down his wine glass, remembered it vividly, and recounted the events of the year to everyone.

The people were silent and listened.

"Back then, in order to make huge profits from maritime trade, my brother Qin Bao and I went to the sea to sell goods in the southeast ocean, our caravan brought a lot of goods, bought a ship from Ningbo into the sea, and planned to go to Sumatra, who wanted to encounter a storm on the road, the ship ran aground on a deserted island, lack of water and food......"

It is implied in the book that a few years ago, during the journey of the two brothers Qin Hu and Qin Bao to sell goods at sea, the ship was damaged by a hurricane and hit the reef, and the food and water of the caravan on board was about to run out.

In desperation, ships appeared at sea level, and the caravan hurriedly raised fire for help.

The ship was dark and large, and it seemed that it had also spotted the people on the island, and slowly turned to sail towards it.

Qin Hu's caravan was in despair, as if he saw hope, and they were all rejoicing.

But everyone never expected that this was a Japanese pirate ship (hereinafter referred to as "Wabune").

The boats lowered a dozen sampans.

The Japanese robbers rowed their sampans and rushed to the islands and reefs, and all eighteen people, including Qin Hu and Qin Leopard, became prisoners and were taken on the Japanese ships, and all the goods brought by the caravan were also looted by the Japanese robbers.

This Japanese ship was a five-masted ship, 100 feet high and 10 feet wide, and it was the flagship of this gang of Japanese soldiers.

In addition, two smaller Japanese ships, both equipped with Fran cannons, were guarded by two smaller ships, each armed with muskets and swords, apparently highly trained.

Qin Hu and Qin Bao were locked in a watertight compartment under the deck of the ship, they had never seen such a large ship, one cabin could accommodate more than ten of them, but the cabin was dark, and the food, feces and urine had to be solved inside, and it was even more smelly.

The ships sailed all the way north......

The hall was silent.

Everyone stopped at this time and listened to Qin Hu's self-report:

"Our caravan boarded the thief ship, but unexpectedly, the leader of these Japanese robbers was actually a Fujianese named Chen Sipan, and although the leaders on the ship wore Japanese hair buns, they were all Han people from all over the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, and all the words in their mouths were Chinese. I will make a calculation with Brother Leopard, since the language is the same, why not say a favor to the other party, in order to survive and go home. ”

......

Watertight compartment.

Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock

Qin Hu kept banging on the door.

"What for, what for?"

A square opening opened in the hatch, and in the doorway, a leader showed a thin face with a scar on his face, which crawled from the corner of his mouth to the root behind his ear.

"What are you knocking on?" Scarface asked impatiently outside.

Qin Hu barely squeezed out a smile, "This big brother leader, can you please have a few good words with Leader Chen and let us go." ”

"Yes, Chief, we don't want those goods, we just want to be able to go home safely and reunite with our wives!" Qin Bao also pleaded.

"Yes, yes, we don't want anything, we should honor Leader Chen!"

"Hmph-" The scar on the leader's face writhed and smiled, "So what do you take to honor me?"

"This ......" Everyone was in trouble and looked at each other for a moment.

Since they came aboard the ship, the caravan has been looted for all its valuable things, and they can still get decent things.

"Leader, I have a piece of Hetian jade, inlaid with gold!" Qin Hu smiled on his face, holding a jade pendant in both hands, with a tiger totem on it, "This leader...... Please laugh!"

"Huh?" The Scarface Leader's eyes suddenly lit up, and he snatched the jade pendant from Qin Hu's hand.

Qin Bao on the side hurriedly said: "No, Brother Huzi, this is a family heirloom!"

"Leopard, if you can't go back, what's the use of keeping it!"

"What a big golden tiger! I knew that there was indeed a fish that slipped through the net!" the scar-faced leader's eyes lit up, looking at the gold-inlaid tiger on the Hetian jade, "I'm going to get you down!" After he finished speaking, he bit it with his teeth and used a knife to pry it, trying to remove the golden tiger from the jade pendant.

"Chief, no, stop, stop!" Seeing this, Qin Hu hurriedly persuaded him.

"What's wrong?" Scarface asked.

Qin Hu hurriedly explained: "There is a way, gold is priceless, jade is priceless, this piece of jade is priceless, priceless." ”

"Who said that!" Scarface leaned over, "I like gold!"

After saying that, snap-

There was the sound of broken jade outside the door.

Qin Hu leaned back, his eyes darkened.

Qin Bao hurriedly supported his brother.

The golden tiger jade plate fell to the ground and shattered.

The Scarface Leader grabbed the golden tiger on the ground and kicked away the broken jade shard.

"Hehehe-this gold is so pretty, so pretty! It must be very valuable!hehehe-"

Qin Hu sighed helplessly and asked, "This leader, you also took the things, shouldn't you let me wait out and intercede with Boss Chen?"

"What?" said Scarface, "when did I promise you?"

"You-"

"Hmph, haha......" Scarface Leader smiled grimly.

"What else do you want?" Qin Hu asked angrily.

"Then I'll tell you, when you get to Hirado and Satsuma, you'll be free, hahaha-"

......

In the hall of Haw Par Villa, everyone listened to Qin Hu's narration and clenched their fists.

Qin Hu slammed the table in anger.

"These pirates not only confiscated all the goods and treasures of our caravans, but also sent us to Japan to be sold as human slaves. ”

When everyone in the Qin family heard this, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all scolded angrily.

"How unreasonable!"

"It's so lawless!"

"The big boss, and then ...... Who killed the second master?"

"Yes, who killed the second master?"

"We want to avenge the second master!"

"Revenge, revenge!"

The crowd of people in the village was indignant, and they stood up and swore revenge in unison, and the whole hall was in a commotion again.

Qin Hu hurriedly said: "Brothers, sit down and talk, sit down and talk, the death of the second master is like this......"

......

One day, the group of boats docked.

Qin Hu didn't know how long he had been on the ship, and he didn't know where he had arrived, but fortunately, there was a crack in the wooden board where the cabin and the deck met that had been corroded by the sea breeze.

Qin Hu and the others stacked Arhats, and through the gap in the hull, he looked out.

Qin Hu saw the land, it was a fishing port, and the seagulls were whirling.

On the sea, the Japanese were rowing their sampans diligently, and then the soldiers went ashore in several ways......

A few hours later, the robbers carried boxes of belongings, captured a group of women, and returned to the boat.

The Japanese ship sailed away, and the fishing port behind it was already burning with flames.

It turned out that the fishing port was under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese ships did not go far, and the Ming army came to intercept two lucky ships.

The deck of the widow was busy.

Boom - boom - boom -

There was a burst of artillery bombardment on the deck, and the cabin shook incessantly, and Qin Hu was so shocked that the soles of his feet trembled and his mind dizzy.

As soon as the shelling from above stopped, the deck was filled with the joy of the pirates......

Qin Hu hurriedly looked outside, and the blessing ships of the official army were all blown up and slowly sank into the sea.

At this time, the big and small leaders on the ship and a group of Japanese robbers were all jubilant and celebrated.

In the cabin where Qin Hu was, everyone sighed.

The newly captured Matsue women were taken aboard the boat and locked in the watertight compartment next door, crying incessantly.

Then, there was silence on the deck, and there were some human voices.

One person said, "Lord Chen, give a few women to put out the fire for the brothers!"

The other said, "Yes, my lord, we have been for many days...... Hehe, I didn't do that anymore!"

"Hahahaha-"

The master of Chen Bao they are talking about is naturally Chen Sipan, the big leader of the Japanese ship, and the person who speaks should also be the small leader under Chen.

"Hmph-"

On the deck, Chen Sipan's cold laughter came.

Qin Hu then heard an iron object fall on the deck, it should be a key or something.

"Whatever you want to play, bring it all with you, tonight, we have a big celebration feast!"

It was Chen Sipan's voice.

For a moment, there was jubilation on the deck, wave after wave.

"Thank you for your great opening of Hongen! Thank you for your great opening of Hongen!"

"Ariador, Ariador, Ariador—"

The widows thanked them in unison, then went down to the watertight compartment below deck, opened the hatch where the women were held, and went in to arrest them.

In the next hatch, I immediately heard the women screaming in shock.

The women were then taken to the deck.

With Chen Sipan's permission, many of the widows on the ship took turns raping the more than 30 women.

Women screaming, cursing, defiant...... Qin Hu could hear it through a thick deck.

"This brute!" Qin Hu clenched his fists.

"It's not as good as a brute!" Qin Leopard kicked the hatch hard.

The rest shook their heads, unable to do anything.

Just then, I heard a scream from the deck.

"My ears, my ears!"

It seems that a small boss has been bitten in the ear.

"Die—" the leader shouted.

"Ahh

In a moment there was a tumult on the deck, and the women seemed to be determined to die, fighting with their bare hands, and their resistance continued unabated, and they beat with their fists and gnawed with their teeth, but their bodies were pierced by steel knives.

Blood penetrated the deck and soaked into the cabin......

At this time, Qin Hu wanted to join the battle group desperately and fight with the beasts among these people.

There is an iron bolt on the outside of the hatch, and there is no way to get out of the cabin.

Cluck, squeak......

Qin Hu heard what seemed to be a noise outside—it was the sound of the iron bolt of the hatch clicking.

Everyone was surprised, and there was a "whoosh", only to hear the sound of metal rubbing at the door.

The hatch suddenly opened!

A woman, naked and bloody, stood upright in the doorway, holding a key in her hand.

"Help, save ......"

Immediately, a short knife swirled and flew in, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced her neck!

The woman drew her short knife, and blood gushed out.

She clutched her wounds and couldn't say a word.

She knelt before the caravan and died a tragic death......

"That slut stole the key!"

"Shut the door!" shouted Scarface from outside.

"Hai, Hai!" the two pirates rushed forward.

Seeing the opportunity, Qin Hu rushed out, picked up the short knife in the woman's hand, shouted angrily, and slashed at the Japanese who rushed forward.

Behind him, Qin Bao snatched the sword again and assassinated another wolf.

"Qin Jiaerlang, kill me out!"

"Kill—"

Seeing that this was not good, the Scarface leader ran onto the deck in fright.

"Slavery rebellion...... The human slaves have rebelled......"

Qin Hu then rushed to the deck with his caravan.

On the deck, the wanton indulgence of the Japanese was caught off guard and shocked.

Before a few devils could draw their knives, they were cut off by the Qin family brothers and fell into the sea.

The caravan had not seen the light of day for many days, and suddenly came to the deck and suddenly felt extremely dazzling, Rao was so, but all of them were as fierce as tigers, picking up the Japanese knives on the deck and slashing at the Japanese Kou all the way.

The pirates on the deck were caught off guard and let out a scream.

Sensing the enemy's situation, the Japanese abandoned the women around them, hurriedly picked up their weapons, and came to besiege them.

Chen Sipan stood on the third deck and held his cheeks.

He wore an eye patch, and the other calmly watched the events in front of him.

The Scarface Boss ran onto the deck and shouted, "Big Boss, the human slaves are rebelling, the big boss, the human slaves are rebelling!"

Chen Sipan glanced at him and said calmly: "What are you panicking about?"

On the second deck, the pirates were loading their arquebuses, and their muskets were aimed underneath—

"Fire—"
