Chapter 73

At the banquet, Liu Heyue said that he had united with the King Fan of the Japo Kingdom and decided to attack the pirates on Puligu Island together. It happened that all the sea merchants were gathered at Sanfo Qi, and hoped that everyone could help.

Yang Huan was the first to express his willingness to help, followed by Chen Duanli and others, but Zheng Yuanya and his son were just drinking and had an ambiguous attitude, neither saying they wanted to help nor saying they would not help.

Liu Heyue toasted Yang Huan, Chen Duanli and all the sea merchants. Everyone toasted together and drank all the wine in their cups, with the rims of the cups all down.Liu Heyue hooked the ear of the glass and turned the glass upside down. He drank not a single drop. He watched Chen Duanli until he drank the glass of wine in front of him. Satisfied, he sat down and chatted with the invited people.

Liu Heyue didn't know Zhao Yousheng, and thought he was Chen Duanli's entourage. The sea merchants present all had entourages, and it was impossible for everyone to be familiar faces. Therefore, he didn't notice that Zhao Yousheng hesitated for a moment when drinking, and Chen Fan's gaze He kept staring at the cup in Zhao Yousheng's hand.

Zhao Yousheng is a frequent visitor to the tavern, and he knows a lot of drinking skills. Before he made the movement of pouring the wine down his throat, there was not much wine in the glass, and he quickly poured most of the wine under the table.What Zhao Yousheng drank was the residual wine in the cup, which was very small, but it was also likely to be poisoned.

The rim of the cup parted from his lips, and the first thing Zhao Yousheng saw was Chen Fan's face. His expression was stern, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.Chen Fan thought that after Zhao Yousheng changed the wine glass, he would accidentally spill the poisoned wine, so he would not need to drink this carefully prepared glass of poisoned wine, but he didn't, obviously to avoid Liu Heyue's suspicion.

Seeing Zhao Yousheng's calm look after drinking the poisoned wine, Chen Fan could only respect him as a man.

The banquet was still going on, and Liu Heyue's attention was diverted from Chen Duanli. After a pleasant exchange of words, he made his request: the person who handed Liu Zhenbao over to him should be escorted back to the country first, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Chen Duanli held on to the golden cup in his hand, the cup was full, he didn't drink any more, and said calmly: "Since Liu Zhenbao was captured, he was handed over to Shang Wang's ship to be imprisoned. Wang Gangshou specially welded an iron cage to lock him in. Strictly guarded, no one will let him escape."

"In my opinion, it's better to wait until the pirates from Purigao Island are captured, and then escort them back to the country together. We can gain some glory and seek some benefits from the imperial court." As soon as Yang Huan's words fell, everyone followed suit. .

How could Liu Heyue fail to see that this group of maritime merchants did not agree with him, they gathered at the Sanfo Temple, they voluntarily obeyed Chen Duanli's summoning, they spontaneously supported Chen Duanli, and they didn't even have his father as an old merchant in their eyes.Being opposed by everyone, Liu Heyue just smiled, without showing any displeasure.

At the banquet, Liu Heyue declared that he and Chen Duanli would be able to expel the pirates raging in Nanyang by joining forces, and all the sea merchants looked forward to it.He spoke impassionedly, people who didn't know his Liu family's secret activities might really be deceived by him.

After the banquet, Chen Duanli returned to his room, followed by Chen Fan and Zhao Yousheng. As soon as Chen Duanli entered the room, he closed the door, turned around and asked Zhao Yousheng what was going on?At the banquet, except for the first glass of wine, whenever Chen Duanli wanted to drink, Zhao Yousheng would secretly pull his sleeve, so Chen Duanli only drank one glass of wine, that is, the first glass - the glass of wine in return for Liu Heyue.

Before Zhao Yousheng could speak, Chen Fanxian said, "Sheren suspects that Liu Heyue wants to poison his father."

Chen Duanli obviously felt that it was unlikely, he said: "You Sheng is too worried, if He Yue poisons me at the banquet, once I poison him, everyone will know that he did it. Besides, if he wants to poison, it should be done in the first place." Poisoning a glass of wine is a toast, and I will definitely drink it."

Chen Fan glanced at Zhao Youcheng, and said: "The first glass of wine, the wine glass was replaced by someone else, and he drank... a little on behalf of his father." Chen Fan had good eyesight, and Zhao Youcheng secretly poured the wine on the ground, which he saw.

Chen Duanli was shocked, looked at Zhao Yousheng, and asked him, "Yousheng, do you feel any discomfort after drinking?"

"Nothing unusual. I expected the toxicity to occur not so quickly. Besides, I drank less, so it might not be a problem." Zhao Youcheng was calm and calm. Even if the poison occurred, there were other ways.

"You..." Chen Duanli didn't know whether to blame him for his recklessness, or to thank him for saving him, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't let Xiaoyu know." Zhao Yousheng had only one request, and he lowered his voice.

Chen Yu was in the next room, he didn't attend tonight's banquet, and he wasn't allowed to meet anyone from the Liu family, so Chen Yu was hidden.

Chen Duanli couldn't afford to gamble whether there was poison in the glass of wine, he was anxious, and ordered his son: "Da Fan, hurry to call the doctor!"

"Chen Gangshou, don't be in a hurry. Let's wait first. I drink very little, and I will wait until the toxicity occurs." Zhao Yousheng pulled up a chair and sat down, his words were unusually calm.

Chen Fan had a lot of questions about Zhao Yousheng, so he just asked him at this time: "How can Sheren be sure that Liu Heyue will poison him? And it must be Badan?"

Chen Duanli was shocked: "Badan!"

Zhao Yousheng nodded, and he said: "The Liu family has been in the ocean for decades. They are maritime merchants in the open, and they have been colluding with pirates in secret. The first crisis of the Liu family occurred 17 years ago. Chen Gang first joined forces with maritime merchants to encircle and suppress pirates Liu Enshao, the head of the Liu family, was deeply in danger, and he did not hesitate to join forces with Xiuman to kill Chen Yu's mother Ling Niang, making Chen Gangshou lose his fighting spirit. power."

Chen Yu and Zhao Yousheng had talked about Lingniang's death, so he knew the ins and outs.

"The Liu family's second crisis is today, and it is even more serious than the one 17 years ago. Once the court learns about raising bandits and self-respect, Liu Enshao and his son will not only lose everything they have painstakingly managed, but may even lose their heads." Zhao Yousheng made an analysis. He looked at Chen Duanli and saw that the other party was nodding. He continued: "If Chen Gangshou is removed, the sea merchants gathered at Sanfoqi today will become a mess. The Zheng family will not accept the Yang family. If you don't accept the Chen family, it will be torn apart, no matter how hard it is to pose a threat to the Liu family."

Chen Fan just listened silently. After Zhao Yousheng finished speaking, he asked a question to be answered: "Where is Badan? How do you know that the poison you will use must be Badan?"

Chen Fan knew that Zhao Yousheng's analysis was right, and he thought so too, so when he received Zhao Yousheng's letter, he hurried out to sea. He realized that his father was indeed in danger of his life in the open sea.

"Don't worry, just wait for a while, and you'll know if it's Badan." Zhao Yousheng already felt his heartbeat was disturbed, his back leaned against the chair involuntarily, his arms were trembling slightly.

Chen Duanli was close to Zhao Yousheng, and he already noticed something strange, he held Zhao Yousheng's hand, and said in a panic: "Da Fan, go to the hall and call the doctor!"

"Father, I have the antidote." Chen Fan stood still, frowning, and asked Zhao Yousheng: "How can you be sure it's Badan? If it wasn't for Badan, you might die!"

Chen Fan's words were serious, and Zhao Yousheng drank that little dose, even other poisons, he would feel uncomfortable for a few days at most, and it would not be life-threatening.

When they talked, they deliberately lowered their voices. Chen Yu, who lived in the next room, still heard the sound and came to visit.This day the building was full of tenants, even at night it was very noisy, Chen Yu didn't know that the banquet was over, otherwise he would have come to find his father, brother and A leftover.

When Chen Yu came, he saw that Chen Fan had brought a box from nowhere. He opened the box, took out a pill, and handed it to Zhao Youcheng. He panicked and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with Leftover?"

"Oh, he..." Chen Fan deliberately looked at Zhao Youcheng, seeing him winking at him, he said, "I've drunk too much alcohol, take a medicine to sober up."

Zhao Yousheng took the pill with trembling hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a gulp of warm water, bringing the medicine into his throat.Badan's poisoning process was very long. At the beginning, the symptoms were irregular heartbeat, pale face, chills and trembling, which Zhao Yousheng fit perfectly.

"Ah Leftover, why are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Yu squatted in front of Zhao Youcheng, holding his palm with one hand, and wiping his cold sweat with a towel in the other.

"It's okay, just lie down and you'll be fine."

Zhao Yousheng stood up, his footsteps were swaying, and he was immediately held up by Chen Duanli and Chen Fan.

The two sent Zhao Yousheng back to his bedroom, burned a brazier to warm the room, and covered him with a thick quilt.Zhao Yousheng was lying on the bed, his consciousness was a little fuzzy, Chen Yu, who was guarding beside him, held his hand tightly, so distressed that he was about to cry.

From the whispered conversation between father and brother, Chen Yu knew that Zhao Yousheng drank poisonous wine on behalf of his father.

Chen Yu stayed by the bedside, he helped Zhao Youcheng wipe off his sweat, and carefully observed the changes in his condition, his heart clenched tightly.Gradually, Zhao Yousheng stopped sweating and felt better. He raised his hand and stroked Chen Yu's face. Chen Yu looked at the smile on his brows and knew that he was fine and detoxified. Tears filled Chen Yu's eyes.

"Ah Leftover, don't allow you to be so reckless next time, you still drink the wine knowing it's poison!"

A tear rolled down Chen Yu's cheek, he grabbed Zhao Youcheng's arm with all his strength, he was shocked and afraid, worried and happy.

Zhao Yousheng wiped Chen Yu's tears away, and said in a panic, "Don't dare next time." He lowered his voice and said distressedly, "Don't cry." Enduring the onset of poison in silence may not be as uncomfortable as letting Chen Yu cry.

Chen Duanli saw the intimacy and love between the two of them. He didn't stop or scold, but left quietly.When Chen Duanli returned to his room, he found his son was there. The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and they both understood Zhao Yousheng's good intentions for drinking poisonous wine.

In the next few days, Chen Duanli had to pretend to be sick, burn a brazier, cover him with a thick quilt, and ask a doctor to treat him, so as to deceive Liu Heyue.

The next day, upon hearing the news of Chen Duanli's illness, Liu Heyue hurriedly went to visit him. Chen Duanli pretended to be unwell and was unable to meet the guests. Liu Heyue only stayed for a while before leaving.

On the third day, Chen Duanli's condition worsened, and the doctor Fan's treatment was obviously ineffective. Chen Fan invited the local witch doctor to expel the evil spirits, and sang and danced.Satisfied, Liu Heyue led the fleet to set off and pounce on the pirate's lair——Purio Island

Except for Zheng's boat, Shangwang's boat didn't follow, and the other sea merchants followed Liu Heyue to Puriko Island, including Chen Fan. The sound of the wind has long since fled without a trace.Liu Heyue doesn't know how to suppress his own pirates, he's not stupid, he's just putting on a show.

Liu Heyue may not have imagined that during the days when he led the boat to Puligu Island, Chen Duanli was not idle all the time. He sent people to investigate Xiuman's whereabouts, and obtained another lair of pirates from Liu Zhenbao.The pirates who were originally on Puli's Island evacuated hastily, and they needed another shelter.

Chen Duanli suddenly "recovered" and was alive and well. He led the ships of the Zheng family and the Wang family, together with the sailors of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, quietly set off in the early morning, heading straight for the deepest hidden lair of the pirates.Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu accompanied Chen Duanli on the Chen family's Fuli boat.
