The summer sea breeze was warm, and Qi Ye took out a cotton sweat towel to wipe the sweat on his face. There was a scent of sandalwood left on the sweat towel, which made him feel much better.

"Brother Qi. I don't know if the Pu family will attack the Qi family." Zhao Jiaren, who said goodbye, asked.

After hearing this question, Qi Ye didn't know if he should think that he was the culprit who caused trouble for the Qi family, or thought that Zhao Jiaren around him was the culprit. But no matter who blamed him, Qi Ye knew that the struggle between the Pu family and Zhao Jiaren had begun.

Not long ago, Qi Ye told the history of the Pu family's sins, which triggered a strong reaction from the audience below. Pu Shougeng's father, as a Champa, moved to the Song Dynasty and became an official. After that, the Pu family colluded with pirates again and again, wandered around the government, pretending to go to pacify and comfort the government. The government was incompetent and only looked at the quiet road of Fujian. So the Pu family took advantage of the situation and gradually became a domineering person in Quanzhou.

Qi Ye was talking about what he had heard, and just half of it. Below, there were five strong men, big and thick, and cursed: "Shopkeeper Qi, is the Pu family so cunning and arrogant?"

"It's because the government is supporting him!" Another man said angrily.

After a moment of silence in the classroom, Zhao Jiaren stood up and said without any rush: "The Pu family is a mansion. When it comes to government affairs, I am the government!"

In Qi Ye's impression, Zhao Jiaren never had an air of official position. So when he said "I am the government" from his mouth, the murderous aura contained in calming made Qi Ye shiver.

The young and strong people were so excited that their hearts were about to catch fire. A woman stood up and raised her arms and shouted, "Destroy the pirates!" "Kill the Pu family!"

Some people took the lead, and other men and women also stood up indignantly to respond and shouted slogans. From their expressions, it can be seen that these young people are really passionate and full of energy.

"Destroy the pirates!" "Kill the Pu family!" The increasingly neat shouting had the power to make Qi Ye frightened. It was the voice of dozens of young and strong men who spoke in unison, and Qi Ye himself was just alone.

Looking back at the situation at that time, Qi Ye felt that his forehead and back continued to sweat out, which made him unable to help but wipe his face with a sweat towel.

Zhao Jiaren seemed to have no idea that he was one of the protagonists of this dispute. He continued to say sincerely: "Brother Qi, the things between me and the Pu family will never be good. It's nothing now. I'm just afraid that the Pu family will be in a hurry to jump over the wall and attack your Qi family in the end."

Qi Ye was not scared by the future depicted by Zhao Jiaren. He had considered these possibilities in the past few days, and he was confident in answering, "Brother Zhao, if the Pu family is really as you said, they are afraid that they will not be able to move our Qi family."

"What you are talking about is the last bottom of your Qi family, not the Pu family's dog-to-rushing jumping." Zhao Jiaren was not dismissed by Qi Ye's words. He said straightforwardly: "Brother Qi, your Qi family is from our Song Dynasty. Born here and raised here, and he will also be buried here. Do you think the Pu family will regard themselves as the Song people? It's a big mistake! The Pu family has never regarded themselves as the Song people. Before he has no way out, he will definitely find a way to make a fortune and then flee to Cham City with money. Cham City is thousands of miles away from Quanzhou, so what can you do with him? This is the terrible thing about the Pu family's dog-to-rushing jumping jumping jumping jumping jumping. If you open a money house in Qi family, they are afraid they will make a big profit."

Qi Ye wanted to smile and say that Zhao Jiaren was thinking too much, but when he thought about this possibility carefully, he couldn't say it. Then Zhao Jiaren continued, "The Pu family is a jackal, you must be careful." He was about to send Qi Ye onto the boat.

"Brother Zhao, when are you going to do it?" Qi Ye asked hurriedly.

Zhao Jiaren replied readily: "In seven days, we will attack the Pu family ships north of Quanzhou. Of course, I cannot enter Quanzhou to cause trouble for the Pu family. The Pu family has been operating south of Quanzhou for a long time, but we are not able to get there for a while."

"I understand. Brother Zhao takes care of it." After Qi Ye finished speaking, he got on the boat without looking back. After being burned by the Pu family, Qi Ye knew that he was unable to intervene in this struggle. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. Thinking of the blow that the Pu family was about to face, Qi Ye felt a little uneasy and happy.

The Zhao family's boat was very fast. It took one day to come. It took only two days to go back to Quanzhou against the wind. When he returned to Quanzhou, Qi Ye felt that this familiar city had an unexpected difference. On weekdays, there were no people on the many Pu family boats in the harbor. Today, there were many more people on the Pu family boats. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Qi Ye felt that the eyes of people were too focused on him. These eyes seemed to be under heavy pressure, which made Qi Ye feel a little breathless.

"Shopkeeper Qi, we will send you back to the money house." The Zhao sailors who were escorting Qi Ye also said nervously.

"Okay." Qi Ye didn't dare to stay in the port for a long time, so he hurriedly left the port and went straight to the headquarters. He walked quickly, and until he entered the heavy gate of the headquarters, Qi Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The Zhao family sailors did not stay for a long time, so they said goodbye and left in a hurry. Seeing them leaving, Qi Ye also prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that these sailors would not have any trouble. Fuzhou is Zhao Jiaren's territory, while Quanzhou is the territory of the Pu family.

Qi Ye naturally talked about his whereabouts with the Qi family members over the past few days, and Pu Shiwen soon learned that a ship from the Zhao family escorted Qi Ye back to Quanzhou. He almost jumped up from his chair, with a fierce light in his eyes. Pu Shiwen shouted: "Send someone to follow them out of the port, and do it after they leave. Never let them escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "No rashness is allowed!"

Pu Shiwen looked up and saw his father Pu Shougeng strode into the outside of the yard. He first drank his subordinates with confusion. Pu Shougeng said to Pu Shiwen: "We will not go north of Quanzhou in the future."

"Father, are we still afraid of Zhao Jiaren?" Pu Shiwen asked in surprise.

Pu Shougen sat down calmly on the chair in the hall and said calmly: "You brought eight ships to attack one of Zhao Jiaren's ships, what will happen in the end? If you hadn't sent a boat with oars, two of them would probably not come back. The Zhao family dared to send ships publicly. Do you think there are their ships waiting outside the sea? Since we can't beat them, we should not have a fight with them."

"Doesn't this mean we are afraid of them?" Pu Shiwen was unexpectedly not angry. He could see that the last attack left a deep impression on him.

Pu Shougeng asked his son to sit down and said in a soothing tone: "The Song Dynasty said that a small impotence would cause chaos. I think Zhao Jiaren was probably acting in an impulse, so we first slandered him. Wait until we mobilized people to prepare a ship and wiped him out in one fell swoop. This was the case with the Hu family back then. It was not afraid to show weakness. The Hu family also had more than a dozen ships, but in the end it was not only luck that they escaped their lives."

After hearing this, Pu Shiwen couldn't help laughing and opened his mouth. He was only 20 years old when Hu Chuankui's family was dealing with it. The total number of people killed by himself set a personal record for Pu Shiwen.

"Ah sneezing!" Hu Yuelian sneezed. She rubbed her nose and felt much better. After staying in the perfume workshop for a long time, she was always a little uncomfortable when she arrived on the boat. Zhu Youqing, a man like a tower in the workshop, chose to go to the perfume workshop to be a master because she couldn't stand the smell on the boat.

The ship had left Fuzhou at this time, and three lookouts stood on the bow. They were all sure that the two ships not far away were ships from the spice shop related to the Pu family. Yue Lian felt a strong desire for battle in her heart. She gently stroked the scabbard of the short knife on her waist, hoping to use this to make herself relax.

In Zhao Jiaren's school for more than a year, Yue Lian and her classmates learned many fighting skills together. Regardless of whether they can do it or not, everyone admits that only by calmly exerting fighting skills can they most effectively exert their strength. Of course, how to implement this concept during combat is everyone's problem. Yue Lian likes to calm down by touching the scabbard.

"Everyone checks weapons and prepares for combat." The captain shouted, and the whole ship immediately started to tossing.

First, he put his subordinates into a team, and Yue Lian began to ask everyone to report the number. "One, two, three, four..." Everyone's voice was extremely loud, enough to deserve the momentum he should have before the battle.

"Everyone has it! Check the hat!" Yue Lian began to issue the first item of the inspection.

Seeing everyone checking according to the order, Yue Lian couldn't help but touch her pocket. Inside her pocket was this combat manual, which stipulated various steps. Although she had been memorizing it for a long time, Yue Lian was still worried that she would suddenly forget the provisions. She had forgotten several times before.

The captain who made the loud order was not only Yue Lian, but the other captains were also trying hard to shout and give their own orders.

All preparations were over. Yue Lian quickly ran to the captain and shouted: "Report, we are the fourth team, with fifteen people in the quota, and fifteen people are actually there. All inspections are over, and the report is over!"

The captain glanced at the deputy squad leader, who signaled that he had already recorded it. The captain ordered: "Fourth Squad, go to the departure location and wait!"

Leading the team back to the cabin and letting his subordinates sit down and rest, Yue Lian pulled out his sword to check. The blade had been carefully rubbed with cotton cloth, and the sharp steel blade and the tip of the knife flashed with cold light. The blade was smooth, and there was no crack, and there was no deformation. Inserting the two swords into the scabbard, Yue Lian lowered her body and began to check the belt and shoes. After all the steps, Yue Lian sat cross-legged and stroked the scabbard with her fingers again.

Not long after, the cannon sounded. The melee troops couldn't help but start whispering. Yue Lian counted the cannon sounds silently. After 20, the cannon sounds had not stopped. Yue Lian frowned slightly. She didn't expect the other party's resistance to be so fierce. Such a number of cannon shots meant that both sides had used long-range weapons to shoot at each other.

After nearly forty guns, the propaganda committee member rushed to the door of the cabin and shouted at the top of his voice: "The melee troops are ready to attack!"

Yue Lianteng stood up and shouted to the team members: "Stand up!"

The melee troops went on the deck and saw that the decks of the two ships opposite were in a mess and were beaten miserably. Yue Lian glanced at them and saw that there were seven or eight destroyed torsional crossbows on the deck of the ship opposite her. It seemed that the other party was not a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this time, the ship was shocked, and the two ships were already leaning against each other. They threw the long rope with the hook claws over and tightly hooked the other's ships, preventing the two ships from leaving contact. Seeing that the situation was not good, someone rushed over regardless of life and death to try to cut off the rope behind the hook claws. The close-range shot of a pound cannon immediately solved the two opponent's brave men.

"Everyone, kill all the pirates of the Pu family!" Yue Lian shouted to her subordinates.

"Roar!" Everyone raised their weapons to respond to Yue Lian's shouting.

With the two swords drawn out, Yue Lian was the first to jump onto the enemy ship. As soon as he landed, a person jumped out from behind the mast. He raised a long sword with both hands and chopped off the head. Yue Lian had no time to dodge, so he could only cross the swords and hold the enemy's swords to slash. Yue Lian was about 165 tall, and her eyes drooped, looking at the other person's forehead. This guy's sword technique was good, but his strength was not enough. Yue Lian adjusted the blade of the double swords in the block to the position where the knife was facing the opponent's neck like an open scissor, while stabilizing her body shape, lifting her knees and hitting the opponent's lower abdomen.

The guy on the opposite side was quite good and thought something was wrong. He immediately raised his calf to block Yue Lian's knee impact. With the force, he pushed the long sword hard and retreated backwards. Yue Lian followed a comrade-in-arms who took a slash and raised it forward to chop it down. The guy on the opposite side stretched out his arm and swung it, and at the same time he used the force to rotate. Yue Lian's comrade-in-arms did not expect that this guy could fight back when his body was unstable, and a long hole was cut by the guy's sword.

When Yue Lian encountered such a master, she was quite surprised. But at this moment, she didn't have time to think too much, so she threw the scimitar with her left hand. She couldn't control her strength in a hurry. The back of the scimitar hit the guy's head hard and smashed him to the ground. Just as Yue Lian was about to go up and finish the knife, another person jumped out and dragged the guy down the ground along the nearby passage to the lower deck.

Such a fierce battle broke out in more than ten seconds. Yue Lian's heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly, and a strong current flowed along her spine and limbs. Although she wanted to look around again, she found that she could not concentrate as much attention as before. The melee personnel boarded the enemy ship one after another. Seeing the fierce and short battle just now, everyone became even more nervous.

At this time, the enemy sailors hiding in other places rushed out, and when they saw that they looked like guests from afar. When they were fighting on the first day of the first day of the New Year, everyone was careful. After a moment of fighting, they found that the enemy's skills were completely incomparable to the man who was not as tall as the moon lotus. Everyone immediately let go of the big kill, but in seven or eight rounds, the enemies were knocked down one after another.

I carefully arrived at the deck entrance, but everyone saw that the door inside was closed tightly. Everyone had done a lot of training, fixed a one-pound cannon, and opened a shot at the door leading to the lower deck. Unexpectedly, the wooden door was quite thick and could not be penetrated.

At this time, the melee troops knew that there must be important people or important goods below, so they fired another shot, and a large piece of it was hidden in the wooden door, but it still didn't penetrate it.

Yue Lian shouted, "Come on a three-pound cannon and prepare a gunpowder pot. Open the door and throw it in and explode it!" Inside the cabin behind the door was the very skilled bastard and his accomplices. If you want to rush down according to normal circumstances, you will be afraid of unnecessary casualties.

"Yes!" The melee troops responded and immediately moved things.

A moment later, a man's weird Chinese words came from behind the door of the deck, "Hey! You..., we were just hired. Didn't we die with you? If I surrender, open the door for you. Can we let us have a way out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar of a unique accent of the sea merchants broke out from inside. After a sound of beating and screaming, the initial voice of the call sounded again. "Hey! This ship is filled with wine and oil. If you don't agree, we will activate the ship. At worst, we will sink with the ship. You can't get anything!"

Everyone outside the door looked at each other, and the guy inside really made a very effective threat. Yue Lian shouted at the door: "Okay! I will promise you! If you open the door and surrender, we will not hurt your and your accomplices' lives!"

"You... want to make a vow to the god!" The people inside seemed to be uneasy.

"What's the point? I saw you reach out and wanted to know your origin, so I wouldn't take your life. As for the bullshit god, I almost died many times in the years I was at sea. In the end, the god didn't appear, and I survived until now by struggling. You asked me to swear, I really couldn't say it." As soon as this was said, the members of the melee troops around were dumbfounded or grinned. When they ran to sea, they faced too many unpredictable dangers, and everyone had to worship something to express their spirits. Unexpectedly, Yuelian didn't believe in any gods and Buddhas.

After pausing for a moment, Yue Lian also felt that it was inappropriate to say so. She continued to shout: "But I swear to the knife in my hand. Since you were hired, if you surrender, we will never hurt your life."

The opposite side did not answer immediately. Yue Lian turned her head and whispered to her comrades next to her, "Go and move the cannon and prepare the gunpowder jar. You can't just listen to them talking nonsense."

At this moment, I heard the sound of moving the heavy gate post from the door. Everyone was carrying weapons and pointing to the door. They saw a slit slightly open, and a voice came from inside, "Since you dare to swear with weapons, I think it was the female swordsman just now. I don't know what your background is."

Yue Lian snorted coldly and said loudly: "I am the captain of the fourth team! I am responsible for charging and fighting the enemy!"

When they heard this content, they seemed to be about to break through the sky's claim. The team members around them were on guard and also felt a little hot on their faces. However, to their surprise, the people below did not talk nonsense after listening to it, and actually came out of it with empty hands.
Chapter completed!
