Tang Lie smiled and said: "Whatever he does, it seems that this big ship will be docked at the dock for supplies. Let's go over and see if we can catch a smooth sailing boat."
The three of them walked towards the pier. The big ship docked at the pier. More than a dozen strong sailors got off the ship and entered the small shop next to the pier to buy supplies. Two sailors took advantage of this time to shop on the ship. Weekly inspection of vessel condition.
Ya Yi'an gently nudged Tang Lie with her elbow, and saw a chubby middle-aged businessman slowly walking down the gangway. He was about fifty years old, his bloated body was wrapped in a fur robe, and his white body was white. There was always a faint smile on the fat face. Tang Lie felt that this man's face seemed familiar. Trying to think back, he suddenly remembered that this short and fat businessman was the same one he met when he first came to this world to do business with Mai Qi. The horse is free.
Ma Xingkong obviously didn't recognize Tang Lie now. Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of Tang Lie and the others, he smiled and nodded, and proactively said to Tang Lie, "Brother, are you waiting for the boat?"
Ya Yi'an hurriedly took over the words: "Yes, we are going to Shasha City, but there are no ships passing by..."
Ma Xingkong was so cunning. He immediately understood what Ya Yi'an wanted to say. He laughed heartily and said, "I'm just about to go to Shasha City. If you don't mind, you three can take my boat there."
Ya Yi'an said hypocritically: "Why don't you say this? Why don't you just name the price and we will pay you the shipping fee when we get to the place?"
Ma Xingkong waved his hand and said: "We are all brothers in the world, so talking about money is too stingy. There are many cabins on my ship, and they are all vacant. It is a pleasure to be able to help you."
Ya Yi'an laughed along with him, and then asked Ma Xingkong's name. He came to Tang Lie happily and whispered: "This boss Ma is really good. It seems that we are very lucky."
Tang Lie chuckled and said nothing, but secretly thought in his heart: "This Ma Xingkong was red-faced when he argued with Mai Qian for some benefits, but now he shows a bold and generous look, completely different from the two people before and after. , but I don’t know what he has in mind,” he said quietly to Ya Yi’an: “This Ma Xingkong is a human trafficker, we have to be careful when we get on his pirate ship.”
Ya Yi'an was slightly startled, and then he realized that Tang Lie knew this wealthy businessman named Ma Xingkong, but he didn't show anything unusual on the surface. He smiled and said, "Whatever his purpose is, let's get on the boat first."
The three people packed their bags and boarded the sailboat under the guidance of a sailor. Ma Xingkong treated them very kindly and provided them with three clean cabins.
After the supplies were completed, the sailboat finally slowly sailed away from the ferry. Although Tang Lie had decided on the next step, his chaotic mood could not be completely calmed down in a short period of time. He came to the bow of the ship alone to watch the scenery.
Coincidentally, Ma Xingkong was sitting on the bow of the boat, with a soft bearskin mattress covering his knees, squinting his eyes and lazily basking in the sun. Tea was boiling on a small copper stove on the coffee table beside him. The river breeze was blowing gently, and the fragrance was everywhere. Yi, there was a charming slave girl wearing a white mink fur next to her, gently massaging Ma Xingkong. Unexpectedly, Ma Xingkong actually knew how to enjoy life.
Ma Xingkong saw Tang Lie smiling and said, "Brother, come over and drink tea with us."
With a friendly smile, Tang Liebao came and sat down on the boxwood chair next to him: "Boss Ma, why are you so polite? Letting us take the boat is already a great favor. Why do I have the nerve to drink your fragrant tea again?" "
Ma Xingkong chuckled and said: "We are all brothers in the four seas, and we are destined to meet each other."
The female slave had a coquettish temperament. When she saw Tang Lie's extraordinary handsomeness, her heart was full of spring. Taking advantage of Ma Xingkong's unpreparedness, she sent waves of autumn in her beautiful green eyes towards Tang Lie until Ma Xingkong ordered her to pour tea for Tang Lie. He just stopped his provocative behavior.
Tang Lie secretly smiled in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to turn a blind eye and said with a smile: "Since Boss Ma has kindly invited you, Tang Lie will not be polite."
Ma Xingkong smiled and slapped the slave girl's plump buttocks. He hit it very hard and made the slave girl groan. It was very tempting. Ma Xingkong smiled and cursed: "These Jueyi women have such bad tempers." The most promiscuous ones are all born to be good in bed,"
Tang Lie didn't expect that Ma Xingkong would talk about this when he came up, and he coughed in embarrassment.
Ma Xingkong tightened the mink fur around his body, moved closer to Tang Lie, and whispered: "Brother Tang, I think the maid next to you is also pretty good," his eyes were full of lust.
Tang Lie immediately understood the implication of this bastard's words. It seemed that the reason why Ma Xingkong let them board the ship smoothly was because he fell in love with Xuan'er's beauty and had bad intentions. Tang Lie suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled calmly: "Boss Ma only said I'm afraid I'm mistaken, she is my sister, not a maid,"
Ma Xingkong chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, there's no need to lie to me. I still trust my eyes." He whispered, "For a price, maybe we can make a successful deal."
Tang Lie stood up suddenly and said coldly: "I already understand what I mean. Xuan'er is my sister. If Boss Ma continues to make such a request, it will be an insult to me." He didn't even look at Ma Xing. Kong glanced at it, turned around and walked towards the cabin. If it weren't for Ma Xingkong putting it on, he would have punched him.
Ma Xingkong looked at Tang Lie's retreating back with an extremely spiteful expression on his face. He turned around and saw the slave girl's dreaming eyes. He slapped her with an angry slap and said angrily: "Bitch, what are you looking at?" Look, this guy is handsome and sexy, right?"
The slave girl covered her face and sobbed in frustration.
Ma Xingkong still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he waved the tea cup in his hand and threw it away: "Damn it, if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined. Invite Master Zong to me."
Tang Lie walked into Ya Yi'an's cabin and couldn't help but cursed: "This clown is really nothing." Ya Yi'an was already asleep, but when he heard Tang Lie's anger, he suddenly became energetic. , jumped up full of curiosity and said: "Quickly tell me, what happened,"
Tang Lie angrily briefly described what had just happened to Ya Yi'an, and Ya Yi'an said angrily: "Damn it, this bastard dares to take advantage of my sister Xuan'er, I'll castrate him... "Seeing Tang Lie sitting aside and drinking tea, he couldn't help but said: "Damn it, you usually act like a hero, but how come you act like a bear at the critical moment? Ma Xingkong actually wants to take advantage of your little lover. Is that the end of it?"
Tang Lie rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'll let it go as soon as I tell you."
Ya Yi'an pulled a stool to sit next to Tang Lie and whispered: "What are you going to do?"
Tang Lie said: "This Ma Xingkong is definitely not a good person. Since he has developed a suspicion of Xuan'er, he will not give up easily. You and I will investigate separately and find out the specific situation on this ship. If Ma Xingkong If Xingkong dares to make any rude demands again, we will kill him with one knife and seize all his ship's cargo."
Ya Yi'an clapped his hands and said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter whether he asked for anything or not, if he cuts him with a knife, it will be a good deal to get both the ship and the wealth."
Tang Lie glared at him and said, "What do you think of us? Bandits who kill people and steal goods,"
Ya Yi'an stuck out her tongue and secretly cursed Tang Lie for being hypocritical. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cabin. Tang Lie made a silent gesture to Ya Yi'an, but he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Tang Lie Sir, are you here? My boss invited you to the front cabin for a drink. He said he wanted to apologize to you for something."
Ya Yi'an shook his head and said, "It's not fun to get soft so quickly."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "I bet that this bastard must have set a trap through the banquet."
Ya Yi'an's eyes lit up and he said, "Doesn't this give us a legitimate reason to kill him?"
Tang Lie smiled and nodded, and the two of them stretched out their fists and bumped lightly.
Ma Xingkong carefully prepared a banquet. The exquisite dishes were rarely seen even in the city. His pursuit of luxurious life was evident.
Seeing Tang Lie, Ya Yi'an, and Xuan'er arriving as promised, Ma Xingkong's plump face immediately put on a smile, and he took the initiative to come forward, holding Tang Lie's big hand enthusiastically and saying, "Brother Tang, can you Come, it's really an honor for Ma. I offended you a lot on the bow of the boat just now. I hope Brother Tang won't mind." But he couldn't help but glance at Xuan'er, and even more felt that Xuan'er's exquisite and beautiful face was heart-stirring.
Xuan'er glared at him coldly and hid behind Tang Lie.
Ma Xingkong hurriedly led them to their seats to hide his embarrassment.
Tang Lie looked at the table full of exquisite dishes and couldn't help but smile and said: "Boss Ma is so polite. In fact, when we take your cargo ship, we should treat you as our own. How can you be embarrassed to make you spend money again and again?"
Ma Xingkong once again said that we are all brothers in the world. It seemed that he had no other words except this sentence. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said: "Since we are destined to meet each other, come and have a drink. Let's drink it." this cup,"
Ya Yi'an played with the exquisite silver wine glass in his hand, calculating the value of the wine set in his mind, but a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Boss Ma, you didn't do anything with this wine, did you?"
Ma Xingkong's self-cultivation was indeed extraordinary. He laughed loudly and said, "You really know how to joke. Would I, Ma, do such a despicable thing?" He drank the wine in the cup first and showed it to Tang with an empty cup. He hunted three people to show his innocence.
Ya Yi'an said reluctantly: "Who knows if you took the antidote in advance, or if your cup is not poisonous, and the wine in our cup has been spiked,"
The fat at the corners of Ma Xingkong's lips twitched, his expression suddenly changed, he picked up the wine glass and threw it to the ground.
In an instant, more than a dozen sailors poured in from outside the cabin. Six armored warriors slowly walked out from behind the screen in the cabin. Ma Xingkong quickly retreated among the warriors, staring at Tang Lie with his small eyes, revealing a ferocious light. , said proudly: "Since you don't have to eat and drink as a penalty for the toast, I, Mr. Ma, will help you today,"
Tang Lie looked around as if nothing had happened. From the breathing and pace of these people, he had already judged that almost all of them were mediocre. However, a middle-aged, tall and thin warrior with gray hair next to Ma Xingkong had a look in his eyes. He was as sharp as a falcon, with thick finger joints, and his left hand was always on the hilt of the sword at his waist. His eyes were fixed on Tang Lie from beginning to end. It seemed that he was highly wary of Tang Lie. This man seemed to be a tough opponent.
"Come on, leave that woman to me and kill the other two without mercy," Ma Xingkong shouted hysterically.
More than a dozen sailors surrounded Tang Lie and Ya Yi'an at the same time. As soon as they got close, they were beaten by Tang Lie's hard and powerful fists and flew away screaming.
Although Ya Yi'an's force was far inferior to Tang Lie's, it was more than enough to deal with these sailors. In addition, he was ruthless in his attacks, so the sailors he knocked down suffered greater trauma.
The seemingly weak Xuan'er also knocked down two powerful sailors in an instant.
Only then did Ma Xingkong realize that something was wrong with the situation. He hurriedly hid behind the middle-aged tall and thin warrior and said in panic: "Master Zong, hurry...take them down for me,"
Tang Lie walked towards them with a smile.
Master Zong looked at Tang Lie indifferently and said calmly: "Unless I die, no one can touch my master." He suddenly swung out his left hand and shot a bolt of shock into Tang Lie's chest. Tang Lie had already planned to attack him. Psychologically prepared, when he took action, the dragon-slaying knife had already been slashed upwards, the swords intersected, and the long sword in Master Zong's hand was cut into two pieces.
Before he could react from his shock, Tang Lie's blade was already placed on the skin of his neck. In fact, Tang Lie was able to succeed quickly this time thanks to the sharpness of the dragon-slaying knife, which caught his opponent off guard.
When the other warriors saw that Master Zong had been defeated in just one move, they all lost their courage and ran away in fear.
Ya Yi'an stepped forward and kicked Ma Xingkong to the ground, laughing and saying: "You should open your own fucking eyes and see who we are. You actually provoked us. Aren't you looking for death?" "
Ma Xingkong was so frightened that his body trembled, and he begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Master... Master... Master... I am blind... you... you don't care about the faults of villains... spare... spare my grandson... …”
Ya Yi'an couldn't help laughing and said: "You call me grandpa, but I don't want to recognize such a pustule grandson like you."
Tang Lie removed the blade from Master Zong's neck and said, "Go away. This matter has nothing to do with you. I won't embarrass you."
Master Zong silently shook his head and said: "If the master doesn't leave, I won't leave."
Ya Yi'an was angry and funny and said: "What does this bitch have that makes you sacrifice your life for him?" He couldn't help but kicked Ma Xingkong hard on the butt again, causing Ma Xingkong to scream in pain.
Seeing Ma Xingkong's miserable condition, Xuan'er couldn't bear it and whispered to Tang Lie, "Since he has learned a lesson, it's better to let them go."
Tang Lie didn't want to commit more crimes, and the reason why he punished Ma Xingkong was out of anger. He strode to Ma Xingkong, grabbed his collar, picked him up from the ground, and said fiercely: "You give me the old man." Remember honestly, if you dare to do bad things again in the future, if you let me touch you, I will definitely kill you."
Ma Xingkong couldn't help but nodded and burst into tears.
Tang Lie asked the sailors to dock the ship and put Ma Xingkong and Master Zong down. Xuan'er was kind-hearted and worried that the two of them would starve to death in the forest, so she packed some food and clothes and gave them to Master Zong.
Tang Lie originally thought that there would be sailors willing to follow Ma Xingkong, but looking at the thirty people on board, no one was willing to follow Ma Xingkong.
Seeing his sailboat slowly sailing away from the river bank, Ma Xingkong stamped his feet and cursed: "Tang Lie, please remember, I will not give up like this." It was a pity that he was not strong enough and had not yet passed the news. When I went out, I was blown away by the river wind blowing in my face.
Ma Xingkong sneezed several times in succession. Looking at the master beside him, he couldn't help but feel sad. He squeezed out a few tears and gritted his teeth and said, "I have to settle this account with him sooner or later."
