Chapter 71

Li Weiwu has settled in Bagan for many years. As a member of the Champa royal family, his life is luxurious but low-key. He met Chen Duanli because he was also involved in maritime trade, and the two companies had the same shipping line, so the two met.Li Weiwu never went out to sea, he had retainers to ship merchants on his behalf,

The news about Xiuman was provided by this retainer. Some time ago, the retainer led a boat to Mayi Island to trade hawksbill and yellow wax, and accidentally saw Xiuman in the harbor.

Not seeing each other for more than ten years, Xiuman has changed a lot. The retainers recognized him because they were acquaintances of him back then.Xiuman is obviously still doing pirate work, he has a few followers around him, and his ship moored in the harbor is a white sailboat.

Xiuman was a blatant pirate before he served as the deputy commander of the navy in Champa. He inherited a white sailboat owned by his father, and made a living by robbing passing merchant ships in the Sanfoqi area. That's it.

People generally regard white sailing boats as pirate ships, but in fact this kind of boats are very common in Mayi Island.

The white sailboats here are all stitched board boats, no nails are used, the boards are simply connected with ropes, and the gaps between the boards are smoothed out with glue.This kind of ship is often equipped with a large number of oarsmen. The speed of the ship is extremely fast and can block other sea ships. The stitched ship is easy to disassemble and assemble. Once it lands, the ship can even be dismantled and dragged ashore to hide. favorite.

The vassals found the trace of Xiuman, and wanted to inform the sailors of Chenla Kingdom to hunt him down, but just sent someone to deliver the letter, but Xiuman seemed to have gotten wind of it, and fled the harbor overnight, never to be seen again.

Li Weiwu and Xiuman did not have a deep-rooted hatred worth remembering for 17 years. Although this fellow robbed his ship back then, Yanniang hated him deeply.Back then, Xiu Man hunted sharks wantonly, Yanniang's mother died in the process of being hunted down by him.

Chen Duanli and Chen Yu came to Bagan by boat and visited Li Weiwu's home. After many years, Chen Yu saw Yan Niang again.She was still graceful and luxurious, but there were fine wrinkles at the end of her eyes. She recognized Chen Yu at a glance, ran down the wooden steps, and hugged him excitedly.

Chen Yu, who was only seven years old when he left, was still a child who acted like a baby with Yanniang. When he came back, he was seventeen years old, taller than Yanniang, and already a handsome young man. How could Yanniang not be surprised!

Not only Chen Yu has changed significantly, Li Weiwu has also changed a lot, his figure is no longer handsome, his waistline is obviously much thicker, and he looks a little richer.

Chen Duanli is still the same, tall and handsome, and the years have not left many traces on him.

Li Weiwu warmly entertained the father and son and invited them into the house.

Chen Duanli and Li Weiwu walked in front, and Chen Yu and Yanniang walked behind. Yanniang held his hand and happily took him around the courtyard, telling him that this was the room where he slept and that this was the yard where he liked to play when he was a child.

Traveler's plantains are still emerald green, Longdu flowers are in full bloom, and the things I remember when I was a child are still there, and Yan Niang, who I missed the most when I was a child, is by my side.

Yan Niang loves Chen Yu as a child, she also loves him when he grows up, she talks about the past with Chen Yu, her eyes are full of warmth, she has no children, Chen Yu is like her son.

Yanniang took Chen Yu's hand and walked on the wooden corridor, she smiled: "Yu'er looks like her mother, when she was young she thought her eyebrows and eyes were very similar, but when she grows up she really does." She raised her hand wearing the golden bracelet and touched Chen Yu's face. Looking at Yu's face, she murmured, "Son, are you married yet?"

Chen Yu replied with a smile: "Yanniang, I'm only 17 years old, not yet old enough to marry."

Yanniang knew that he was talking nonsense. Although she had never been to China, she had heard about the situation there. She tapped Chen Yu's head and said to him, "It's still the same as when I was a child, and I want to lie to you, Yanniang."

Chen Yu was very smart and mischievous when he was a child, but he was not as taciturn and introverted as he was after returning to China.If he hadn't returned to China, perhaps Chen Yu would have grown up as the adopted son of Li Weiwu and Yanniang, and that wouldn't be bad, as his life was just as good.

However, in that way, he would not be able to live with his father, nor would he get to know Zhao Yousheng. He and Yousheng would be separated from each other by the ocean, and they would never see each other for the rest of their lives.

Chen Yu couldn't imagine what it would be like if he took this path in life, and what would A Leftover be like?

Chen Yu and Yan Niang accompanied each other like a mother and child, and entered the hall, where Chen Duanli and Li Weiwu were already sitting and talking.Chen Yu went to kneel and salute, Li Weiwu hurriedly asked him to get up, looked at his appearance carefully, and sighed in his heart, Chen Yu was only seven years old when he left his house, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yu sat beside his father and listened to the conversation between his father and Uncle Li. The two first talked about the past, and then they mentioned Xiuman.From Uncle Li's mouth, I learned that some sea boats have seen Xiuman on Puli'e Island in the past few days. He probably used Puli'e Island as his base, which has recently been reduced to a lair of pirates.

"Xiuman fled the Western Ocean for many years, and he will return to Nanyang this year, probably related to the Liu family." Chen Duanli thought that it was precisely because the Liu family had strengthened the team of pirates who robbed Nanyang. Only then did he dare to return to the old place he was familiar with.

Li Weiwu scolded: "Liu Enshao is a villain. I don't think his son is worse than Lao Tzu." The channel that his sea boat traveled was the channel where the pirates made the most trouble. Recently, he did not dare to transport Valuable cargo.

"Duanli, when are you going to get rid of the pirate leader Arne of Purigao Island, don't forget to tell me, I will help you." Even if Li Weiwu lives in a foreign country and loses his power, how can he be suppressed? Bullying people.

"I'm afraid I have to put Ah En in the back, Wei Wu, we have another goal." Chen Duanli whispered in Li Weiwu's ear. Li Weiwu's family had so many servants that they had to beware of the walls.

After hearing this, Li Weiwu smiled and said: "Duan Li, if this is the case, how can I lose my share."

Chen Duanli came to Li Weiwu's house for many years, originally planned to stay for one day and then went to Sanfoqi, but Li Weiwu forced him to stay for three days.

During the three days, Li Weiwu hosted a banquet and invited several old friends in the past to have a banquet with Chen Duanli, and Chen Yu sat with him, listening to their old people talk about the past, and sometimes heard from the guests about the encounter between mother and father.

It turned out that my father met my mother on an island in the Kunlun Ocean. At that time, my father was seriously injured, and my mother who lived on the island took care of my father.

That year, Chen Duanli's boat was blown to an unfamiliar island by a storm. The hull was severely damaged, and there was little food and water left. The crew disembarked to cut wood and fetch water.When the storm broke out, Chen Duanli was fixing the sail on the main deck, and was hit in the chest by flying debris. His injury worsened and he needed urgent treatment.Chen Duanli was carried off the ship by the sailors and carried to the islanders' home to find a doctor.

Later, Chen Duanli's sea-going ships would be equipped with a ship's doctor, but back then that ship was only a medium-sized sea-going ship, lacking a ship's doctor or even a doctor.

At that time, Lingniang went to the island to visit her relatives, that is, Yanniang's family. Seeing that Chen Duanli was in unbearable pain, she felt pity for him, so she used the medicine brought by Yuyi to heal him, and took care of him along the way.

After the banquet was over, it was already dark, and Chen Yu was still thinking about the stories told by the guests. He wanted to know the follow-up very much, so he went into his father's room to ask.

"I met your mother on Dongkun Island. She saved my life, and I will never forget her kindness. Later..." Chen Duanli looked at his son, saw that he was engrossed in listening, and urged him to come later?

"A year later, my boat passed the Kunlun Ocean, lost its direction due to the fog, the hull hit a reef, the hull tilted, and the sea water poured into the three cabins. It was at the time of life and death." It was the closest he was to death, and once the ship sank, 300 people on the whole ship might die.

"Father, I've heard about this, so mother saved you again, right?" Chen Yu thought that some of the rumors he had heard since childhood were true. His father was indeed trapped in the Kunlun Ocean, and his mother rescued you over him.

"Lingniang is kind-hearted, even if I'm not on that boat, she will help." Chen Duanli said sadly, "Yu'er, until Xiuman hunts down the sharks, whenever there is a storm, the sharks will come out of the sea to remind the past Sea ship."

"Father, is that why all the sharks are hiding now?"

"Yes, they don't trust people anymore, and they don't want to be seen by others. In the past, the mermaids would turn into humans and live on land for a period of time. They liked life in the world. There is no such thing now."

Hearing what his father said, Chen Yu felt a little disappointed. The Yuren were members of his mother's clan. If he could meet them, he would be able to understand his mother better.

Late at night, Chen Yu was lying on the bed, thinking about the past of his father and mother. He thought that his father must have encountered a lot of resistance when he married his mother. It must have been shocking for them to fall in love.If the mother hadn't been killed by Xiu Man, would the father be able to bring his wife and children back to the country?I'm afraid it won't work, the mermaid is not like a mermaid, he has a deep attachment to the sea, and he often has to return to the sea to transform into a mermaid.

So my father will always sail, and get together with my mother in Chanan every year. Only outside of Wang Yang can they live a comfortable life.

Chen Yu felt that he and Ah Surplus were not like this?I'm afraid they have to be overseas for the two of them to have a foothold.If Ah Left's father knew about their relationship, he would definitely obstruct him, and Zong Zhengsi would punish Ah Left as well.

Chen Yu understood that what Ah Surplus had to face was a major choice, between him and everyone else except him.

On the eve of leaving Bagan, Chen Yu suffered from insomnia. He was pacing in the courtyard with his clothes on. He smelled the fragrance of Longdu flowers and saw the moonlight like water.When he was young and ignorant, he thought it was only natural for him to have a good relationship with Ah Surplus, but when he was familiar with the world, he didn't know what kind of sacrifices Ah Surplus had to make in order to fall in love with him.

"Yu'er, why are you still up so late?"

It was Yan Niang's voice, Chen Yu turned around and saw her, she was still dressed up, obviously not ready to fall asleep.

"Yan Niang, I can't sleep, just walk around in the courtyard."

"Come and talk to Yanniang, it's because of something that I can't sleep."

The hand was held by Yanniang, so Chen Yu had no choice but to follow her to the wooden porch, and sat face to face in front of a wooden table, a maid immediately came over with a lamp to illuminate.

Chen Yu remained silent, Yanniang looked at the expression on his face, she could see his melancholy, the child was obviously troubled by love, Yanniang has always had good intuition, this is her talent as a half shark.Yanniang held Chen Yu's hand and asked him in a low voice, "Is there someone Yu'er likes?"

Get a nod.

"That's a good thing. Some people spend their whole lives, but there is no one who falls in love with them."

"Yanniang, but I'm afraid he won't be able to stay with me forever."

"If that person really likes you, no matter what kind of obstacles are used, you are the most precious treasure. If that person doesn't like you enough, even if they are together for a while, they will always be separated in the future."

Chen Yu looked melancholy, bowed his head in silence, and rubbed the safety buckle on his waist with his hands.He knew how much Ah Leftover could do for him, and he also knew that Ah Leftover would be reprimanded by relatives and friends.

Yanniang saw Chen Yu's small movements, she reached out and patted his back to comfort him, just like he did when he was young.

Originally, Chen Duanli wanted to leave Chen Yu at Li Weiwu's house and go to Sanfo Qi by himself, but later he changed his mind. He will grow old one day, and Chen Yu is also old enough to take care of him.

Chen Duanli and his son took the Fuli boat to Sanfoqi. Li Weiwu's boat followed closely behind the Fuli boat.

Arriving at Sanfo Temple, Chen Duanli and Chen Yu moved into the largest building in the area. They met Zheng Sanguan and Zheng Yuanya in the building. After some conversation, they found out that Yang Huan and Fan Touli had also arrived at Sanfo Temple. The most important thing is the arrival of the leader of Shang Wang's sea ship.

Although there was still a shortage of people, most of them had already arrived. Chen Duanli gathered everyone in the room to discuss how to capture the pirates of the Liu family.It's not annihilation, but targeted capture of pirates who are close to the Liu family.

Everyone agreed that we should start with the pirate Liu Zhenbao. This person is Liu Heyue's brother, and his attitude is the most arrogant. He once even robbed Shang Wang's ship.

"Liu Zhenbao is very cunning, grab one and change another place. Today the ship is in Bagan, tomorrow it may be in Bintong Long, and the day after tomorrow it may go to Kunlun Ocean." Zheng Sanguan sat on the carpet with his hands on his thighs. On the table, with one hand on his hips, the sitting posture is quite outrageous.

Yang Huan chuckled: "What's the difficulty? We have a large number of people, and we will deploy our people in every place where he often appears. Once we find the trace of his ship, we will send someone to inform everyone and work together to block him. live."

Zheng Yuanya was very active, and said with a smile: "After blocking it, I will beat it hard, and I would like to be the vanguard!"

Fan Touli couldn't understand most of their conversations, but luckily he was accompanied by a coordinator who translated every sentence to him.Fan Touli asked Tong Shi to express his opinion on his behalf, and he was happy to participate in the pursuit of Liu Zhenbao.Liu Zhenbao's boats often sailed along the waterway between Japo and Bagan, which had a great impact on Fan Touli's sea trade. Fan Touli didn't know how far he traveled every time to avoid his pirate ships. Wrong way.

At dusk, everyone had a banquet together and sat around. When they were drinking happily, they suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who came was the leader of the Shangwang family's sea boat. This person was called Wang Laiquan. He is actually a domestic servant sent by Shang Wang's family to do business.

Wang Laiquan was fat and tall, and after his big man sat down, everyone found that there was another person behind him, wearing a hair crown, wearing a blue robe, and a leather belt around his waist with a long sword. It was Zhao Yousheng.

"Ah Leftover!"

"You Sheng!"

"Yo, it's actually Zhao Sheren!"

The two voices above are from Chen Yu and Chen Duanli, and the voice behind is from Zheng Yuanya.

Chen Yu was deeply shocked, he stood up abruptly, knocked down the wine glass beside his arm, and the wine drenched his robe.

"It's me." Zhao Yousheng said flatly, and he glanced at everyone sitting there before bowing in salute.

In the end, Zhao Yousheng was worried about Chen Yu and Chen Duanli. He planned to deceive his family and trick his mother into going to the capital for a study tour, but in fact he got into Shang Wang's ship and followed him to the sea.

The author has something to say: You Sheng: Even if you are thousands of miles away, I will protect you.

Chen Yu (blush): Yes.
