Under the lake-blue Korean scholar's shirt and the brimmed hat as black as late at night, there is a pair of eyes as black and as calm as the lake. Pu Yang nodded to the saluting soldiers as a greeting. His eyes briefly glanced for a week and then calmly stopped at Xin Yue.

On the body.

"Let me ask you, has the Netherlands been defeated?"

In his two lifetimes, Xin Yue had rarely felt panic. However, this man's gentle question made Xin Yue feel slightly at a loss. He remained silent for a long time, trying to pass over this unfamiliar situation in a silent and ignorant way.

It was an easy question to answer, but Pu Yang stood there looking at her, his tall figure motionless.

Xin Yue gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "Great Holland will not be defeated!"

We knew clearly that the Dutch army had failed, but how could we say it?

"You are right, Great Holland will not be defeated." The man's eyes were shining with a faint smile, like stars.

Xin Yue took a breath.

"Yoshimoto Mizusawa?"

Xin Yue replied: "As far as the deputy assistant is concerned, yes."

"Can you swim?"

Xin Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "If you want to help me, I can swim."

"My brimmed hat has been blown into the sea by the wind, go and pick it up for me." His slender fingers pointed to the wide hat undulating in the sea.

Xin Yue didn't move, and Pu Yang smiled softly: "It doesn't matter if you look like a woman, your body won't be as weak as a woman, right?"

Having said this, Xin Yue shook his head secretly, and then jumped into the sea.

"Sir, your hat."

Xin Yue held his hat in both hands and raised his eyes, showing no signs of confusion.

The black ash on the face was washed away by the sea water, revealing the beautiful face that was originally as white as fine porcelain, and the tear mole added to the lingering charm.

Under the moonlight, Pu Yang smiled calmly: "You did a good job. I am impressed by the speed. Come with me to the room. I have something to reward you."

After entering Pu Yang's cabin and lighting the lamp, Xin Yue threw the soldier's helmet by the door, pulled hard on his belt, and took off the heavy armor on his body. Pu Yang frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

Xin Yue took off his heavy boots and replied: "You are so young, could your eyesight be so low that you didn't see me taking off my clothes?"

The corners of his mouth turned up in a slightly mocking arc.

"I'm asking you why you took off your clothes?"

"I've been wearing this thing for several days. I'm tired." The girl in a white singlet raised her eyebrows slightly, "Everyone knows that I am a woman, so why should I bother to pretend?"

Pu Yang was slightly startled. Xin Yue, wearing a white singlet, moved over and sat down on the chair without being asked. He said with lazy eyes: "Tell me, what are the conditions and requirements?"

Xin Yue's thoughts jumped too fast and too strong. Pu Yang was stunned for a moment and then chuckled: "As expected of the woman who released more than a thousand prisoners to trigger a riot and caused the Dutch army to fight Chu Zhiling's fleet. Her courage is indeed extraordinary."

Xin Yue smiled lightly: "Thank you."

Pu Yang handed over a cup of tea, and Xin Yue looked at the tea cup: "Do Koreans also love drinking tea so much?"

Pu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Xin Yue chuckled and drank it without hesitation.

On the other hand, Pu Yang was a little stunned. He smiled lightly: "It's really poisonous inside."

Xin Yue calmly said: "I know. The name of this poison is Hanxue Danmo. It is soluble in water, chronic, and highly toxic. Very few people can cure it."

Pu Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled approvingly: "You are indeed smart." Then he asked, "Since you know I have poisoned you, why did you still drink it?"

"Anyway, you have the antidote, right?" Xin Yue looked at him with a pair of bright eyes.

Pu Yang understood what she meant, and then smiled brightly: "Go back to Chu Zhiling's boat." He took out a small white porcelain bottle, "Put this medicine into his food and find a way to make him take it."

Xin Yue took the small porcelain bottle and slightly raised his lips: "After the matter is completed?"

"When it is done, you will get the antidote, gold, silver and freedom."

Therefore, the poison Xin Yue drank created an ingenious contractual relationship between the two.

Xin Yue said: "It's missing."

"Oh?" Pu Yang raised his eyebrows.

"I risked my life to go back. After everything is done, even if I escape Chu Zhiling's ship, I will be hunted down by Chu Zhiling's men. So, in the days to come," the girl's voice was loud, "you have to protect me."

I."

——————

Xin Yue has been thinking about one thing about the death of the Dutch commander Pompeibo, that is, Pompeibo died of a knife attack, but she only used the knife to scare him instead of ruthlessly killing him.

The first reason is that she has successfully confused Uncle Pangbei, giving her the illusion that he was sent by Chu Zhiling, and there is no need to kill him. The second reason is that Uncle Pangbei is simply a slutty idiot who is greedy for pleasure and seldom wants to kill him.

He has military skills, and if he is kept in such an important post, the morale and offensive power of the Dutch army will definitely be greatly reduced.

Who could have killed him?

Although we don't know who killed him, the intention of that person is not difficult to guess, which is to completely intensify the conflict between Chu Zhiling and the East India Company.

In this way, the identity and background of the murderer will have a general direction.

"Are you hesitating? Are you afraid?" The fluent Dutch came from Pu Yang who was beside him.

At this moment, the two of them were on a small boat, sailing towards Chu Zhiling's fleet at night.

Xin Yue glanced at Pu Yang lightly, and suddenly asked: "Deputy Pu, I want to know, since Pompey is the commander, why is the defense so weak outside him?"

It would be almost effortless for her to escape after striking.

Pu Yang stared: "Some things, if you know more, it will not be good for you."

"That's it." It seemed that everything was arranged by someone. Xin Yue nodded and smiled with unclear meaning, "but there is one thing that is related to my vital interests and I have to ask."

"What?"

"Since you know that I am inseparable from the death of Pompeii, why don't you kill me or make me public? Your behavior really goes against the status of the Dutch deputy."

Pu Yang smiled perfunctorily: "You will understand in the future."

The night wind blew by, and Xin Yue glanced at him, and then said: "Well, goodbye, Mr. Deputy."

Then he jumped into the sea.

Pu Yang chuckled and returned to the Dutch ship.

"Master Yan, what should I do if this woman deceives you?"

In the cabin, in the darkness, Pu Yang took off the black gauze hat on his head and said in fluent Chinese, "She wouldn't dare."

The black figure also spoke in Chinese: "Since she knew so easily that the poison you gave her was a blood-containing Dunmer, then she can also get the antidote."

Pu Yangqing smiled slightly: "Who told you that it was Blood-Containing Pill Mo? It was Biyunchun."
