After two days of slow travel at sea, the dragon and phoenix ship replenished supplies and fresh water in Weihaiwei.

Tianxiao and Dan Ying were arguing that they wanted to go ashore to play, but Zhong Lei had no choice but to take Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Azaguri, Ironhead Monk, and Feng Li to the shore.

"Young master. ”

As soon as he came ashore, a man with a single hammer shouted happily, and Tianxiao followed the voice, but it was Yang Biao, who hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

Yang Biao nodded and smiled at Wang Bao and his entourage, and then said: "Young master, the little one thinks, the dragon and phoenix ship will inevitably replenish supplies and fresh water in Weihaiwei, just wait here, I just arrived last night." Young master, the little one will bring you two people. ”

He pointed behind him and said, "The old man is my father, and the people in the rivers and lakes say that he chases the murderer for thousands of miles and does not look back, and he is the head catcher of Xi'an Mansion." The old lady is my mother, known as the Flying Demon Heroine in the rivers and lakes, and has lived in seclusion with my father for more than ten years. As soon as the younger one went back and told the young master about the assassination, the second elder went out of the mountain. ”

Zhong Lei, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Azaguri, and the iron-headed monk have also heard of the name of chasing the murderer for thousands of miles and not looking back and the Flying Demon Heroine, but they don't know that they are still a couple, and they are Yang Biao's parents.

"Two seniors. ”

Zhong Lei greeted him first, hugged his fists and said: "When Zhong was a child, my father often mentioned the names of the two seniors, and it is really a privilege to meet today. ”

The Flying Demon Girl smiled, nodded and said, "I know who your father is, it's Zhong Qiyuan." We haven't drunk in over 20 years, are your parents okay now, are they still walking darts?"

Zhong Lei shook his head and sighed and said: "My father and mother are gone, my brothers and sisters are also dead, and the Heavenly Eagle Dart Bureau is also dispersed, and the enemy is the Supreme Invincible Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Society." ”

The Flying Demon Heroine was stunned and said: "Isn't the Supreme of the Heavenly Demon Society crazy and old-fashioned, who is this invincible demon lord, and why do you want to harm your Zhong family?"

Tian Xiao saw that he couldn't play anymore if he talked like this, so he waved his hand and said, "Standing stupidly here, it's better to go back to the big ship, sit there and drink and chat, how happy." ”

Everyone laughed and nodded "yes"

。

Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Zhong Lei, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles without looking back, Flying Demon Girl, Azaguri, Yang Biao, Ironhead Monk, as well as Feng Li, Sun Litang, Fang Shichuan, Bai Zizong Seven people are drinking tea and chatting in the front hall, Dongye Suo came to report with a smile, saying that the dragon ship will be able to enter the Huai River from the mouth of the pot on the third watch, and it will be possible to Huai'an Mansion at dawn tomorrow.

After everyone heard Dayue, Zhong Lei ordered Dongye Suo.

"Hurry up and sue the house, add vegetables tonight, take out all the cattle, sheep and pork in the warehouse, and then slaughter all the chickens, ducks, fat geese. Tell the brothers, tonight every five people have an urn of wine, open their bellies, and eat and drink to their heart's content. ”

Higashino Suo agreed, and when he met people, he said that the manager thought that everyone had worked hard for many days and was drunk a lot.

When they heard that they could drink wildly tonight, everyone was very excited, and laughter and cries came into the front hall.

Sun Litang sighed and said with emotion: "We have been guarding the Great Wall for six years, and we have never seen our brothers so happy. ”

Feng Li sighed lightly and said, "Yes, the brothers have suffered for so many years, and now they have finally come out." ”

Zhao Hu smiled at Feng Li and said, "General Feng, tell the brothers, as long as you are loyal to the young master, Tianbo Mansion can't lose them, and then it will be bitter and sweet." ”

Wang Bao added: "We are all young masters, if anyone is dishonest and disloyal to the young master and betrays Tianbo Mansion, Wang Bao is the first to spare him." ”

The Flying Demon Lady echoed: "Those who betray their masters are not even as good as pigs and dogs. ”

Zhong Lei knows a little bit about the food and salary of the Ming Army, and the soldier pays three dollars a month for silver, which is not needed, and the one who can be brought home in three years is only ten taels of silver.

He knew that soldiers were the future barrier of Tianbo Mansion, and they were the blood capital to deal with the prince in the future, since Long Live Lord gave these soldiers and horses to the young master, as the head of Tianbo Mansion, he wanted to keep the hearts of Feng Li and them, so he said to Feng Li: "Sue your brother, after returning to Tianbo Mansion, the soldier's salary is six yuan a month, and he eats and drinks once every half a month." ”

Fang Shichuan hurriedly said this to his subordinates: "The chief manager has spoken, and the salary will be doubled in the future, isn't it beautiful." ”

When the soldier heard the whole music, he immediately raised his arms and cheered.

This night, except for Tianxiao Danying and Dexi, everyone was eating and drinking, and even Ji Xiang Ruyi was drunk, until the third watch, he was drunk and fell to the ground, and the dragon ship naturally no one cared about it, and let it drift on its own.

After the third watch, the ocean suddenly blew violently, setting off huge waves, pouring rain followed, and the dragon and phoenix ships were also rushing all the way to the southeast with the wind direction in the left and right bumps.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the wind and rain stopped, and the clouds dispersed, but the dragon and phoenix ships didn't know where they had come.

Fang Shichuan woke up, thinking that the dragon ship had arrived at his hometown Huai'an Mansion, but when he came to the deck and looked around, he couldn't help but hold back.

"Where is this?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, and hurried up to the platform, holding on to the railing and looking around, begging to find a piece of land.

But after looking at it for a long time, let alone land, not even the islands were seen.

He returned to the deck disappointed, and when he saw Bai Zizong and his three brothers pointing at the bow of the boat, he leaned over and asked, "Brother Bai, what kind of place is this?"

Bai Zizong said: "It should be the sea area of the Japanese island. By the way, General Fang, this is a terrible sea area, there are groups of pirates, and pirates are secretive, go and wake up your brother, strengthen your vigilance, and be ready to resist the enemy at any time. ”

Fang Shichuan just left, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Zhong Lei, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles without looking back, Flying Demon Girl, Azaguri, Yang Biao, Tietou Monk, Feng Li, Sun Litang, and Dongye Suo also came over one after another, and they all asked the same question.

"What is this, the vast sea, how did you get here?"

Bai Zizong hurriedly said: "It should be a strong southeast wind last night, which will come to this terrible Japanese island water." Ladies and gentlemen, this is a pirate area, the most ferocious are the pirates, and the most powerful are the Ryukyu pirates. ”

When Wang Bao heard this, he immediately discussed a few words with Zhong Lei and them, and said to Bai Zizong: "Zizong, except for the young master and the county lord, the whole ship is dispatched by you today. ”

Bai Zizong was also not polite, nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you for lifting, then the little brother will be dispatched." Brother Higashino, you quickly lower the three brigs into the sea, each with ten sailors and spears. Eight more dragon boats are placed at the stern of the boat and can be called at any time. ”

Higashino Suso took the order.

Bai Zizong also said: "General Feng, each two-masted ship is equipped with ten archers and fifty infantry soldiers. In addition to the bow and arrow, each person is equipped with a grappling hook. After the deployment, you and my two brothers went to the platform, looked at the surrounding sea, and supervised the battle. ”

Feng Li went, and Bai Zizong continued to dispatch.

"General Sun, General Fang, each of you will bring ten archers, and the fifty infantry troops will guard the bow and stern of the ship, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be on standby in the cabin. ”

Sun Litang also left.

Wang Bao saw that Bai Zizong didn't dare to give an order when he looked at him, so he punched him in the chest and said, "You don't need mother-in-law, Manager Zhong said that you can do it, then what should I do, just ask me to do it." ”

Only then did Bai Zizong dare to say: "The young lord and county lord are watched by Dexi, don't get close to the window, let alone stick your head out of the window." There is Lord Lao Zhao with auspicious Ruyi and a group of people in the front and back of the two halls, prepare linen cloth and all kinds of medicines, and then get some quilts and medicinal wine, at any time to save people. Lord Wang, Manager Zhong, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles without looking back, the Flying Demon Girl, Azaguri, Yang Biao, the iron-headed monk is strong in kung fu, and then he will take eight dragon boats to listen to my order, and then burn the thief ship first, and then capture the thief's head, this battle can be won. ”

As soon as the dispatch was completed, Feng Li's shout sounded on the platform: "Look, there are three clippers coming from here." ”

Wang Bao was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and punched Bai Zizong and said, "The old man has obeyed you." Now it's up to you. ”

Bai Zizong nodded, "Hmm"

With a sound, he ran quickly to the bow of the boat.

At this time, the brig had already gone to sea, and the two generals of Sun Fang also brought people to the bow and stern, Bai Zizong inspected the dragon ship and let the brig hide behind the dragon ship, let the rest of the people lie on the deck, and then looked up and asked the people on the platform.

"How far is the thief ship?"

The brother on the platform replied, "Come on, big brother." ”

Wang Bao, Zhong Lei can't understand this "soon"

How far is it to go, I saw that Bai Zizong had already beckoned to Dongye Suo.

"Put the dragon boat down and bring more flammers. Each dragon boat is accompanied by six sailors. ”

said to Zhong Lei and the others: "Two adults, don't be soft when you get on the thief ship, remember to bring back all the food and drink." ”

Zhong Lei really responded: "Obey." ”

He returned to the wing room with Wang Bao, took out a long-handled broadsword, and went down the soft ladder to the dragon boat.

"Big brother, that's the one-eyed dragon's ship. ”

After the brothers on the platform passed the word, Bai Zizong was stunned when he heard it, and said: "Damn one-eyed dragon, look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up today." ”

This one-eyed dragon was one of the Ryukyu pirates, with a hundred or ten brothers, and more than 20 muskets and six or seven cannons in their hands, not only robbing passing merchant ships, but also sacking the island, fire, and other pirates.

Bai Zizong suffered from him, and killed and injured twenty or thirty brothers, and was robbed of seven or eight boxes of property.

But today is not the past, not to mention that the dragon ship is tall and sturdy, Feng Li has four hundred and fifty heroes, Dongye Suo has one hundred and twenty brave sailors, plus his own two hundred and dozens of brothers, I am afraid that this one-eyed dragon will not be able to go back.

"Hurry up and tell Lord Sù, don't burn the thief ship, Lao Tzu will take his musket and artillery, and then go to capture his thief's nest. ”

Bai Zizong suddenly changed his mind, and hurriedly ordered the brothers next to him to come to the bow of the boat, and happened to see the three clippers of the Longyan Dragon slowly approaching, so he deliberately shouted loudly: "Which way of the thieves dares to come to fight my South China Sea Jiaolong's idea, don't leave quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will knock over your thief ship and let you feed Wang Ba all." ”

The one-eyed dragon is used to running rampant in this sea area, and this courage is naturally very strong, and when he heard Bai Zizong's voice, he actually pulled all three clippers up, next to the side of the dragon ship.

"Grandson Turtle, this is your own death, so you can't complain about Lao Tzu. ”

Seeing that the three clippers were all attached to the dragon ships, Bai Zizong was secretly happy, and made a gesture to the ambushes on both sides to prepare to fight.

Then the voice of the one-eyed dragon sounded.

"Boy, I haven't seen you get rich for a few days. ”

In order to lure the one-eyed dragon to take the bait, Bai Zizong pretended to be timid, and said in a trembling voice: "It turned out to be the eldest brother of the one-eyed dragon, the younger brother didn't see it clearly just now, and he bumped into the eldest brother with his words, don't be angry." Don't be angry. ”

The one-eyed dragon laughed maniacally.

"You kid don't dare to collide with Lao Tzu. Tell me, what kind of ship is this, so big?"

Bai Zizong hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest brother, this is our emperor's dragon and phoenix ship, let the younger brother rob it, I just want to send it to the eldest brother, I don't want to meet you here." ”

Hearing this, the one-eyed dragon looked up to the sky and laughed.

His brothers also shouted and jumped for joy, and shouted in the Ryukyuan language, and even the gunners in the cabin came to the deck and looked at the huge dragon ship in front of him.
