At dawn, the small village of dozens of people was filled with the smell of meat porridge.

Every family is eating out with bowls. In the misty morning fog, Fang Xing, who is walking and looming at the edge of the village, is like an immortal.

"Is he uncle?"

A young man asked. The daughter-in-law squatting around him drinking porridge caught the rice grains at the corner of his son's mouth first, then stuffed them into his mouth, and then said, "they went to see the boat! It's the big boat of father Zheng. It must not be a trick."

The young man nodded, took a bite of porridge and said, "it's certainly not a lie to be so willing to give food, but why doesn't he go?"

……

The smell mixed in the morning fog here is not good. I feel that some rotten plants are emitting a smell.

Fang Xing frowned and looked at the direction of the sea. He was waiting for news.

When the morning fog was dispersed by the sun, a young man was brought to Fang Xing's body.

"Uncle..."

"Don't kneel."

Fang Xing stopped his kneeling and asked, "can you find any sea ships coming in and out here?"

The young man hesitated for a moment. Fang Xing smiled and said kindly, "that's pirates, okay? If you don't destroy them now, there will be a lot of trouble once the army arrives."

It's not Fang Xing's unkindness. He has to use a large army to intimidate him. These people know how to protect themselves. If they don't take strong medicine, the news will probably be true or false. At that time, the flotilla will be in great trouble.

Sure enough, the young man looked terrified and said, "uncle, those people are on the back, probably on the back of the small village. Sometimes they come by boat to collect grain, but they are willing to exchange spices. Later, some brave people in the village secretly got on their boat and followed them, so they knew where their nest was."

"How many? Where?"

"It seems that there are hundreds of people, including Han people, Japanese people in the past and native people in Luzon."

Fang woke up and nodded, "OK! Old seven, reward him!"

Xin Laoqi answered and came with two bags of rice.

Fang woke up gently and said, "don't be too little. Benbo will give some food to your village."

Turning back, Fang woke up and said, "let's prepare the fleet and let's start right away."

The young man hesitated and said, "uncle, those people used to help..."

But Fang Xing had gone far away from Xin Laoqi and didn't hear what he said.

The fleet quickly left the coastline and began to move according to the directions given by the young man.

……

Li Er was in the cabin. Through the open door, he could see more than ten pirates wandering nearby.

This means custody. Cao Qi will not allow him to leave here until the transaction is completed.

"It's only a few years! The rules have changed and there's no loyalty!"

Today is the trading day. Li Er had a look at the gold and silver, spices and other goods used for exchange, and then took them to the seaside.

Li Er's lower legs are trembling slightly, which is a habit of maintaining vitality.

When the sun rose to the center, carts of goods pulled back.

The deal is over!

Li Er still didn't move. The sun was reflected in the land outside the house, which reflected the coldness of Li Er's face.

A burst of footsteps came, and Li Er still didn't move.

"Li Er!"

Cao Qi strode in, followed by the smiling sun Di and two big men.

Li Er got up and said, "brother seven, is the delivery over?"

Cao Qi's several people blocked the light outside the house and looked very tall.

"Li Er, would you like to enjoy happiness with me?"

The light was obscured, and Li Er's face was a little blurred. He smiled and said, "I want to serve my mother for a hundred years. Don't embarrass me, seventh brother?"

Sun Di said behind Cao Qi, "Li Er, don't be ignorant!"

The threat of these words is very strong. The two big men on the side hold the handle of the knife and are ready to draw a knife at any time.

This is the alliance under the city!

Cao Qi looked reserved. He has always wanted to gather up Li Er, a former pirate. Today's opportunity is rare. It's a fool who doesn't start.

Li Er in the dark looked a little thin. Cao Qi was more determined, so he slowed down and said, "you will be the second person under me in the future. Let's work together..."

Just when he was satisfied, Li Er moved.

It was like a flash of lightning. When Cao Qi reacted, a short blade had been placed on his neck. At the same time, Li Er's left hand passed through Cao Qi's waist. As soon as he said goodbye and pressed his backhand, Cao Qi, who was tall, bent down involuntarily.

"Do it!"

Sun Di just shouted this sentence. As soon as the two big men pulled out their knives, Cao Qi was controlled by Li Er.

He pressed Cao Qi to turn around, and then said coldly, "he's dead, or make way!"

Cao Qi's right hand was pressed on his back, and he almost wanted to howl. But he didn't dare. As long as he howled, he would be a soft egg in the eyes of these pirates.

There is a soft head... Infighting is almost certain, just like Liang Shan hero Huo and Wang Lun.

"Li Er, what's your ability to sneak attack? Let go of me, or everyone will die together!"

Cao Qi shouted with sweat all over his head. For people like him, being humiliated in front of his men is almost the same as death.

Brother sun also shouted, "let go of brother seven, or I'll kill your mother!"

Li Er's eyes flashed, but he really let Cao Qi go.

Cao Qi's body rushed forward, then straightened up hard and moved his right arm.

The two big men rushed to kill Li Er immediately.

"Come back!"

Cao Qi's face flushed and kept moving his right arm.

The two men were stunned and finally stopped and retreated.

Li Er took back the short blade and said, "I'm greedy for wine today. Thank you for your advice. Next time, Li Er will bring some good wine to thank you."

Brother sun's eyes twinkled and said, "brother seven, kill him!"

Cao Qi shook his head. He glanced at brother sun and said, "let me have a drink with Li Er, and then send him on board."

Brother sun was stunned. Cao Qi shouted, "go right away!"

After brother sun went out, Cao Qi said with a bitter smile, "see, my life is not easy, so I invite you sincerely."

Li Er said faintly, "when I was on the sea, these people would have chopped it long ago. Keeping it is a disaster!"

Cao Qi sighed and said, "most of my men are Japanese, followed by the Ming people who escaped from the Central Plains, plus some natives. People are too miscellaneous to manage!"

Li Er said faintly, "kill the leader, no one dares to make a mistake!"

Cao Qi said awkwardly, "it's easy but difficult to say. Just drink."

……

The pirates' banquet is actually good. There is enough wine and meat.

A roasted chicken with a knife inserted in it was sent to Li Er's body.

It was the Japanese who delivered the dishes. He said in a less skilled Daming dialect, "dare you?"

This is an open space. There is a bonfire burning in front. More than a dozen Japanese people are baking at the bonfire. They look back here from time to time.

The two tables are placed next to each other. Cao Qi is on the left and Li Er is on the right.

Li Er looked at him indifferently and said, "don't mention eating raw meat. When I was in the Japanese country, I was hungry and ate your Japanese meat!"

Then Li Er pulled out the knife and threw it out. It was right on the trunk of a small tree on the right.

The Japanese man suddenly changed color. When he was about to call his companions, Li Er tore a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He said faintly, "eat it, or I'll chop you!"

Then he sat down and ate.

In fact, the chicken was caught on fire. It looked scorched yellow on the outside, but the meat inside was all raw, and the mouth was full of blood.

Li Er just ate it. Chicken blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and trickled down his chin, but his eyes were staring at the Japanese man.

The Japanese man's look changed from anger to docility. He ate a bloody chicken leg and bowed.

Cao Qi looked at this scene with a gloomy face. He felt some regret. He felt that he should not take into account anything. He directly killed Li Er and then killed brother sun.

"Seven brothers, drink!"

Li Er raised a bowl to propose a toast. Cao Qiqiang answered with a smile, and then drank the bowl of wine, but he didn't know the taste.

Li Er ate the raw chicken with one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine. Then he looked up and dried the wine. He got up and said, "thanks for the hospitality of brother seven. I'll see you later!"

Cao nodded, "OK, I won't give you a ride. Next time you come back, let's have a good drink."
