Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

At the end of the moon, Kui's water village finally calmed down gradually.

There were cups, plates and bowls all over the place, all the delicious food and wine were eaten, and all the singing and swallows were watched. It was such a joyful drink, and finally ended after everyone was full and even drunk.

I don't know whether it's because of the atmosphere in the water village, or because the sea is open and the moonlight is so beautiful and touching. Daiyu was very happy tonight, and she drank a lot before she knew it.Until the end of the show, she was still holding the flagon and refused to let go.It took Yongyu persuasion for a long time before he managed to win his favor.Kui Boyun and Xueyan helped Daiyu back to the house with half hugs and half hugs, but Yongyu followed behind like a tail.

Daiyu was still waving her empty hands, muttering to herself: "Good wine, good wine, let's have another drink."

It turned out to be terribly drunk.

Hearing this, Yongyu beat his head in frustration, and blamed himself: "Oh, really, it's all my fault! Why did you let her drink? When you get up tomorrow, you must have a headache!" "Asparagus, asparagus, hurry up and make hangover tea."

Wenzhu hurried to leave, but was stopped by Kui Boyun.

Kui Boyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, this sea cucumber wine is different from ordinary white wine and yellow rice wine. I'm afraid it won't work to use the Central Plains anti-alcohol recipe. There is humidity in the water village. Drinking this wine for many years can also dehumidify and keep out the cold." However, this wine tastes sweet and has a delicate fragrance in the mouth. It is easy to drink too much, and it is easy to get drunk. Therefore, the village also specially developed a prescription for understanding alcohol. Drink it with a dose of hangover soup, and then sleep peacefully. When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed and didn’t feel a headache at all.”

"Really?" Yongyu was still a little dubious.

Kui Boyun patted his chest and assured him: "If I can't guarantee this miraculous effect, how could I be willing to let sister Lin get drunk? My lord, let's look forward to tomorrow!" Saying that, he pushed Yongyu out of the bedroom with Xueyan.

Yongyu was shut outside the door, with his ear on the window, eavesdropping on the movement inside.Seeing that Daiyu is still asking for wine, it can be seen that she is really drunk.

"Obviously I'm too strong to drink, why did I drink so much!" Yongyu saw the servant girl bring in the wine soup, and was forcefully poured down a bowl by Asparagus Zhu pressing her head.

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Yongyu immediately felt his forehead relax a lot, sleepiness hit him, he opened his mouth and yawned, and finally, he reluctantly went back to his room.

It was night, and the water village was full of waves and birds chirping. It was very refreshing and pleasant in the hot summer.

However, Yongyu didn't sleep well.I don't know if it was because he was worried about Daiyu's drunkenness, his mind was full of Daiyu, Yongyu tossed and turned, and had a strange dream all night.

Wenzhu, who was so tired that he slept outside, got up every half an hour to check on his condition.

Looking at the whitening of Dongfang, Wenzhu still opened his eyes dryly, the fundus of his eyes was blood red, and he didn't fall asleep the whole night.

Because, at the moment, in the brocade tent in the back room, Yongyu was kicking the quilt and punching, while shouting: "Hey! Where did the little thief come from, dare to attack Princess Xiaoyao! Give me a stick from Grandpa!"

"Eat grandpa's stick?" Wenzhu held his forehead speechlessly.What is it?Journey to the West?Since the prince is Sun Xingzhe, could it be possible that I am Zhu Bajie?

No, no, just like my life is suffering, if so, I have to be a white dragon horse.

Wenzhu was still thinking wildly, Yongyu suddenly yelled, turned over from the bed and sat up.

"Master, did you have a nightmare?" Wenzhu hurriedly approached and asked.

Yong Yu was wiping cold sweat from his head, his brows were furrowed, feeling very strange in his heart.

He really had a nightmare.Not just a nightmare, but a strange dream.

In the dream, he went south with Daiyu to learn scriptures?No, it is obviously going to Nanyang to open up business routes.But on the contrary, it was like traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures, encountering many demons and ghosts along the way.On the way he and Daiyu sailed south, there were many troublemakers and disturbances at every place they passed.Everyone came to rob sister Lin from him.Poor, escorted Daiyu all the way, passed through the barriers, and finally arrived at the foot of the "Nantianmen".

Unexpectedly, a group of barbarians with shirtless arms and only shorts suddenly appeared in front of them, rushing over with strange screams, and wanted to snatch Daiyu away.

How can Yongyu bear it?Unbearable, there was no need to bear it anymore, Yong Yu directly swung the huge wooden stick that was transformed into a sword, and killed many barbarians one by one.But there was a fish that slipped through the net. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he picked up Daiyu and ran away.

But Daiyu was wearing a monk's robe and shouted at him: "Yukong, save me!"

Yukong!Suddenly woke up Yongyu!

It is said that day and night have dreams, but he is going to marry Daiyu soon, how could he become a monk?Yongyu broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and then suddenly woke up from the dream.

How could you have such a weird dream?Yongyu patted his chest, puzzled, turned his head and saw asparagus, but almost fainted from fright again.

"Wow, Wen Zhu, did you become a thief last night? Why are your eye circles so dark?" Yongyu asked in surprise.

Wenzhu looked at Yongyu resentfully, then sat back on his small bench silently.

He quarreled all night and wronged him for being a thief!

The two were still talking, but they heard a knock on the door from outside.

A young man knocked on the door through the door and asked in a low voice: "I wonder if King Xiaoyao is awake? The village master has something important to discuss with King Xiaoyao."

When Yongyu heard it, he didn't need asparagus to greet him, so he raised his voice and said to the outside: "Please wait a moment, brother. The king will change his clothes first."

Asparagus quickly tied Yongyu's hair, put on his outer robe, splashed water on his face, rinsed his mouth with tooth powder, and after several efforts, Yongyu appeared majestic and heroic again.

Yongyu cast his eyes and saw that the young man who came to knock on the door was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bronze-colored tendon and flesh exposed openly, with a baby face, big eyes, and two dimples on his lips when he spoke. , is really cute.

Yong Yu just wanted to exchange greetings with him, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps walking around, he looked around, and saw that the sky had not yet fully dawned, but the water village of Kui's house was already in full swing.

During the banquet last night, everyone in this group of men drank wine and passed out a lot.However, at present, all the men in the water are full of energy, armed with weapons, and rush to their respective positions briskly, performing their duties, and taking their positions, and they don't even appear to be drunk at all.

Yongyu and Wenzhu looked at each other, puzzled.Yong Yu disliked the fact that the mountain blocked his vision and couldn't see clearly, so he ran to the side of the mountain to come out.At a glance, the servants, crew, fishermen and others around the water village all had serious faces, and they were gesturing and whispering to each other while walking quickly.On the mountainside not far away, several people joined forces to launch a round of cannons.

Yongyu's eyes widened, he grabbed the young man and asked, "Brother, how dare you ask me what's going on? Why are the cannons pushed out from the village?"

The boy hurriedly waved his hands, signaled Yongyu to whisper, and smiled calmly: "There may be Japanese pirates invading, the village master ordered me to prepare to come up first, just in case."

"Japanese pirates?" Although Yongyu has lived in the capital for a long time, he is a relative of the emperor. Since he was a child, he has often heard in sailor battle reports that Japanese pirates are rampant along the southeast coast, and the Japanese plague is inexhaustible.

The people of snakes and rats, who invade our borders and disturb my people, should be punished!

Hearing the battle report in the past, but unable to take action, the depression and aggrieved all rushed to his heart.Yongyu became angry, flicked his robe sleeves, and rushed straight to the main hall where Kui Yuanzhi was, before the young man could lead the way.

Wenzhu followed behind, afraid that Yongyu would walk too fast, the mountain road was rough, if he fell down, the repeated sound would calm him down and walk slowly!

When the three arrived at the Juyi Hall, they saw Daiyu already sitting on the guest seat.On the other side, Kui Yuanzhi, Ji Sijuan and Kui Boyun were all in line, and Yongyu was the latest to arrive.

Yongyu rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, sat down beside Daiyu, cupped his hands directly at Kuiyuanzhi, and said, "I don't know how Kuizhai Master concluded that there were Japanese pirates coming? Do you need my help?" He said, his eyes were shining, and he looked like he was grinding his fists, it was clear that he was going to kill him right away!

Kui Yuanzhi smiled, but before he could speak, Daiyu glanced at Yongyu first, patted the back of his hand with her hand, and persuaded him softly: "My lord, I'm not sure if it's a Japanese pirate! Please be calm and listen to me." Uncle Kui explained."

Yongyu also knew that he was in a hurry, so he smiled apologetically, then turned his head and asked Daiyu, "Sister Lin, you were drunk last night, and you got up so early today, is there anything uncomfortable?"

When Daiyu heard this, her chest lightened and she couldn't hold back her smile.Only then did she understand why she was inexplicably slightly unhappy when she heard Yongyu ask Kuiyuan what she said just now, but now she immediately recovered.

It turned out that in the past, whenever Yongyu met her, he always talked to her first.Today, as soon as he entered the room, he didn't even look at her, and went straight to Kui Yuanzhi to talk.

Although it wasn't a big deal, Daiyu couldn't help but feel moved.At this moment, when he heard Yongyu asking if he was not feeling well, he felt that he was the most important thing in his heart, and suddenly the gloom in his chest dissipated.

At this point, Daiyu suddenly realized, when did she become the little girl she used to be, suddenly happy and sad, sentimental?

However, it is not like the loss and pain she felt when she realized this before, this time, Daiyu felt faintly joyful and joyful, and the enemy didn't take it seriously at all.

Yongyu, who was sitting beside her, saw Daiyu's slightly frowning brows tense and then loosen, and his heart skipped a beat—what happened?Yongyu was secretly worried, when suddenly he saw Daiyu's bright eyes smiling into crescent moons, and he heard her calling him sweetly, "My lord~"

The ending was a bit longer, with a hint of melodious tone, exactly the same as Daiyu's tone when she was tired of acting like a spoiled child on him after she was drunk last night.

And because she is sober at the moment, her bright eyes are moving, and she is staring intently, reflecting his figure exactly, adding a lot of charm.

In Yongyu's ears, Daiyu's voice is so soft, charming, ethereal, and breathtaking, it's hard to describe.

Early in the morning, Xiaoyao Wang lost his soul.

On the other side, Kui Yuanzhi and his wife, who were sitting in the main seat, looked at each other and smiled secretly.But it didn't bother the two of them.

Only Kui Boyun had seen a lot along the way, so he was not surprised, he drank tea freely, and waited for the pair of mandarin ducks to wake up by themselves.

In the end, it was Daiyu who came back to her senses first, pushed Yongyu, and then turned to ask Kui Yuanzhi, "Uncle Kui, I would like to trouble you to explain in detail why you think the people calling the door outside the water village are Japanese pirates." ?”

Kui Yuanzhi nodded, waved his hand and called in the young man who had brought Yong Yu over, and said to him: "Liu Lang, since you are the first person to notice something is wrong, you can tell the whole story to Miss Lin from the beginning. And Xiaoyao Wang know."

Kui Yuanzhi's words sounded unremarkable, but he also learned something else.Theoretically, Yongyu is a relative of the emperor, or the hereditary successor Xiaoyao Wang appointed by the emperor himself, and Daiyu's future husband.But when Kui Yuanzhi introduced him, he put Daiyu's name before Yongyu, the king of Xiaoyao.

And Yongyu obviously heard it, but he didn't feel that there was a problem at all, and stared at the boy named Liulang with full interest, waiting for his reply.

Seeing this, Kui Yuanzhi secretly nodded.

"This Xiaoyao Wang really lives up to his reputation! Not only is he young and handsome, his talent spreads far and wide, he has the ability to advance and retreat, and treats others with humility. The most important thing is that he is like a village owner, respecting his wife as a guest, making friends with each other, regardless of each other!"Liu Lang thought to himself, he also respected Yongyu a little more in his heart.

Speaking of which, Liulang was originally the eldest son of a fisherman's family in a nearby village.But the sea is ruthless. His parents encountered a tsunami while fishing in the sea, and they were all buried in the belly of the fish.He was left with three younger brothers and sisters to live.After Kui Yuanzhi heard about it, he took their family to live in the water village, and asked him to go fishing and do business with him, so that he could support his younger brothers and sisters by himself.

Therefore, Liu Lang is grateful to Kui Yuanzhi's family, treats him like a reborn parent, respects Kui Yuanzhi even more, and most of all regards Shuizhai as his family.

Last night, there was a banquet in Hezhai, but there were also guards and inspectors needed. At a young age, Liu Lang recommended himself and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of patrolling all night, becoming a watchman.

At the beginning of Yinshi, it was the time for a good night's sleep, and everyone in the water village was asleep.Even Liu Lang felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he regained his sobriety after taking several sips of spicy wine.

As soon as Liu Lang woke up, he saw a row of strange boats sailing towards the water village in the distance on the water in the northeast direction.

In order to prevent the invasion of Japanese pirates and other enemies, foreign ships are not easily allowed to enter the water village.There is a boat coming from the northeast, and the boats are connected. Except for the sail of Kui's house, there is nothing identifiable.And even from a distance, there is a long fleet of ships.

The person who came was not small, and Liu Lang didn't dare to take it lightly, so he first waved the command flag to signal the attention of the guards at the gate of the water village at the foot of the mountain.

On the one hand, compared to the secret code in the village, he gestured and asked the incoming ship: "Which line is the subordinate in charge?"

Unexpectedly, the people on the boat looked like novices. Although they were holding the Kuijialing flag, they couldn't understand Liulang's gestures and code words.

Liu Lang felt that something was wrong, and gestured vigilantly to tell the gatekeepers below that they must not open the door.

The people guarding the gate of the water stronghold were reminded by Liulang to wait for the incoming boat to sail into the water moor.

When the fleet approached the gate of the water stronghold, the first person greeted the people on the boat calmly, and asked loudly: "May I ask you, the appearance of the people on your boat is very familiar, it is not me. Why do the people in our water village hang the sails and banners of our village?"

Standing on the deck of the other ship was a man in blue shirt, dressed as a steward. Hearing the sound, he took a step forward, bowed out, and bowed in response: "Hello, all strong men! The young one is the steward of the female official's family who entered the village yesterday. , Unloading the goods at the thoroughfare, so the trip was delayed, and I just arrived today. Please be flexible and allow me to enter the village to meet the Patriarch."

"Oh?" The gatekeeper raised his thick eyebrows and clasped his fists in return, "You're being polite. You guys are no more than fishermen in the surrounding area, so you can't be called strong men. Miss Lin is indeed in the village, but I don't know if that's the case. The dozen or so boats belong to Miss Lin's family?"

"Naturally, naturally." The steward in blue hurriedly replied, "You guys still understand this rule. It's just that the head of the family buys a lot of goods, so there are more ships, and no one else is included. Brothers, please rest assured. .” Since the gatekeeper of the water village forbade him to address him as a “strong man”, the steward was also skillful, so he called him a brother instead.

"The houses in Aizhai are simple and shabby, and there are few docks. They can't stop the many ships of your fleet for a while. Please wait here for a while. After we report back to the village owner and Miss Lin, we can see how to settle everyone." answered the gatekeeper.

The person known as "the manager of the Lin family" looked distressed, and discussed: "Brothers, I have been waiting for a long time to catch up with the Patriarch. I am really tired, so please let me go earlier When we enter the village, we can drink and eat meat with our brothers, and have a rest."

The words are very beautiful.

However, although Kui's water village is a private estate, it is strictly disciplined.Just because the steward is begging in the name of a friend of the Shaozhai master in his own family, and begging softly, he will not just open the door and open the door of convenience.

On the contrary, the manager's behavior was quite inconsistent, which had already attracted the attention of the guards in Dazhai.

It was the same rough man who had been talking to him before, with one hand behind his back, he made a warning gesture to his companions, and while smiling, he answered the "Steward of the Lin Family", leading them to stop the fleet at the trap with an undercurrent.

On the top of the mountain, Liu Lang looked at the small yellow flags erected one after another, knowing that something was wrong, he handed the flag to another companion on guard, and trotted all the way to Kuiyuanzhi's bedroom to report.

At that time, someone had already notified Kui Yuanzhi.

Although Kui Yuanzhi drank a lot of wine last night, his drinking capacity was not comparable to that of Daiyu and Yongyu, so he woke up early.Hearing the report from the servants outside, he got up immediately.

Liu Lang entered and explained the matter concisely.

Kui Yuanzhi stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand to let Liu Lang listen to him.So like that, after saying that, Liu Lang obeyed his orders and retreated.

On the other side, Ji Sijuan also got up, heard the words of the two people outside, put on her clothes, came out, and said: "Since the person here insists that Miss Lin's family is in charge, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so it's not good for my family to fight." My own family. It’s better to let Bo Yun go and invite Miss Lin to have a look.”

When Kui Yuanzhi heard about it, he looked at the misty sky outside and said hesitantly: "It's still early in the day, Miss Lin drank a lot last night, I wonder if she is sober now?"

Ji Si stumbled and said with a smile: "You don't know the effect of the anti-alcohol soup that the genius doctor prepared for us? In my opinion, Miss Lin is not so intoxicated by alcohol. She must have woken up from sleep at this moment." Woolen cloth!"

Sea cucumber wine is also very beneficial for restoring vitality and replenishing physical strength.Daiyu was tired from the boat trip, so she drank more and slept soundly, which was better than anything else.That's why Ji Sijian toasted Daiyu a few more glasses.

Sure enough, when Kui Boyun found Daiyu's bedroom over there, Daiyu had already washed and dressed, and was about to leave the bedroom to take a stroll around this magnificent water village!

When they met each other a few times, Kui Boyun told Daiyu that there was a fleet of the Lin family at the gate of the water village, which would arrive in the dark, and that they were now asking to enter the village.

As soon as Daiyu heard this, she felt that something was wrong, she frowned and shook her head, "No, logically they should not have arrived so soon. If they arrived immediately, I had instructed them to find a nearby dock to park and board freely. , unloading the goods. What's more, Lin Miao is not such a ignorant person, he will not rush to the door before dawn, and he must enter the village immediately."

After listening to Kui Boyun, he also felt that what Daiyu said made sense. "However, maybe they encountered something on the road and came to discuss with my sister in a hurry. Why don't I ask my sister to send a manager from the house to go down and identify the person first?" Kui Boyun suggested.

Daiyu nodded, called Xueyan, and gave her a few words.

Xueyan went out, found a capable steward, and ordered him to sneak down with the people in the water village to have a look.

Here, Daiyu followed Kui Boyun to Juyi Hall.

Not long after the two sat down, Yongyu arrived.

At this time, everyone listened to Liu Lang tell the story again.

Daiyu spoke first, "The so-called manager of the Lin family doesn't act like Lin Miao."

As soon as Daiyu spoke, the steward who had been sent to identify the person came back, shook his head and said: "If you go back to the girl, that person is not the steward of our house, and I have never seen him before. And the small observation, except for the previous The three merchant ships belong to our Lin family. The rest of the ships are old and new, but their draft marks are very shallow. Although the sky is unclear and the distance is far away, it is not clear for a while, but I can guarantee that those ships are definitely not ours. cargo ship."

"In this way, someone really wants to fish in troubled waters, and took the opportunity to come to Kui's water village to catch a big one!" Kui Yuanzhi concluded after listening to the reply from the real manager of the Lin family.

"But," Daiyu frowned, "if there are only three ships that belong to us, where will the rest of the ships that Lin Miao brought go? The most important thing is that the ships are there, but the people are not. The ships Where are the stewards and men and sailors in the team?"

It doesn't matter how much property is lost, the important thing is not to lose so many people for nothing.

And Daiyu's problem is exactly what Kui Yuanzhi, his wife and Yongyu and others are worried about.

If it's just that someone is using Daiyu's name to bluff and deceive, and want to break into the water village, it's just their foolish dream, throwing themselves into the trap!

The Kuijia water village is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, as solid as gold.In addition to watching and helping the villagers in the surrounding villages, the water pool in front of Dazhai is also full of torrents and undercurrents, and people who don't know water can easily get close to the gate of the village.And these are all second, Ji Sijuan is proficient in five-element formations and mechanism techniques, and even set many traps in front of the gate of Dazhai.

The enemy came close to death, worked hard to break through the first three checkpoints, thought it had completely broken the defense of Kui's water village, took it lightly, and attacked on a large scale, rushing into the gate of Kui's water village in one breath.In fact, this is actually the Kui Yuanzhi and his wife who fell into the big trap and stepped into the trap.

The real death place where there is no exit, no return, and no return is actually within the water village.

Kui Yuanzhi and his wife are not afraid of the enemy entering the village! What they are afraid of is that they will not come in, but only dare to harass the poor people in the periphery, and small groups will cause chaos, and they will not be able to catch up.

But Yongyu and Daiyu didn't know this.

Seeing that Daiyu was worried, Yongyu patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Lin Miao and the others bought goods, they took the Grand Canal, and there were bustling towns along the way. Not to mention the mere Japanese pirates, they dare not go to our country at all. That is They really came in, how could those people be the opponents of the sailors along the road and the garrison of the state capital? Even if there was an accident, it could only be in the East China Sea, at most it happened in the first half of the night. In the name of being in charge, they are looking for money, and they are thinking about breaking into the village. They have a lot of plans, and what they want must be big, and they will definitely make plans if they fail. If they really kidnap Lin Miao, the enemy will not be willing to immediately Let's kill him. I will definitely take Lin Miao and others as hostages, as a way out. It's still early, so you can rest assured now."

Yongyu talked a lot at length, just because he was afraid that Daiyu would worry.

Daiyu knew his good intentions and knew that now is not the time to just sit around and think wildly, so she nodded at Yongyu, and then turned to Kuiyuanzhi and his wife, "I don't know what your uncle and aunt's plans are?"

Since I'm borrowing from someone else's house, I'm not familiar with the place, I don't know anything, and because I caused trouble for others, I should obey the master's wishes and act according to orders.Without even thinking about it, Daiyu handed over the commanding power to Kui Yuanzhi and his wife.

Yong Yu also nodded, indicating that Kui Yuanzhi and his wife could send all the soldiers and horses under his command.

Kui Yuanzhi and Ji Sijuan looked at each other, both very happy in their hearts.

People who live on the water respect their teachers and elders the most.As the saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure.The sea is too vast to be easily understood by one generation or one place.If there is no experience accumulated by generations of people, and no road map and lifeline bought by the ancestors in exchange for their lives and sweat, no one can survive in the sea to make a living.

One of the village rules in Kui's water village is to respect the elderly.Old fishermen, old boatmen, and old sailors who are old, sick, and unable to sail will be brought into the water village, treated as honored guests, and Kui Yuanzhi and his wife will take care of them until their death.

Because they have dedicated their lives to fishermen and future generations.Because their wisdom and experience can save the lives of a boatload of people in times of crisis.

It is absolutely not allowed to happen in Kui's family water village and Kui's family caravan where laymen command experts and talk about military affairs on paper.

Therefore, at the moment, if Daiyu and Yongyu rely on their status as officials or are young and aggressive, and refuse to listen to dissuasion, and insist on going their own way and doing things capriciously, Kui Yuanzhi will still treat them with courtesy and treat them as nephews. , friends, and even let Kui Boyun take Daiyu to Nanyang to do business.

But what about the Maritime Silk Road, the lifting of the ban on coastal defense, and the responsibility of defending the land... such things, Kui Yuanzhi and his wife will only take it as a good talk, talk to Daiyu, and let it go.

Daiyu and Yongyu didn't know it. Before they knew it, they had already passed the test of Kuiyuanzhi and his wife and won their trust and respect.

After pondering for a moment, Kui Yuan Zhi Fang asked Liu Lang, "Look, do they look like Japanese pirates?"

Liu Lang also thought for a moment before solemnly answering: "The Japanese pirates have been watching my water village for a long time, and their eyes are the most shallow. When the little prince came last night, there was so much movement, and the village was drinking happily until midnight. It seemed that the defense was empty. However, a lot of real gold and silver have been brought in. Seeing those small workers who often wander around, it is inevitable that they will not be tempted."

After hearing this, everyone felt that what Liu Lang said made sense, and nodded together.

Seeing this, Liu Lang went on to say: "Besides, our water village is not far from the Japanese pirates' lair on the sea because of its important location. If their secret work gets a signal in the middle of the night, they drive back overnight in an arrow boat to discuss and act. It was in the middle of the night to stop the Lin family's merchant ship on the sea. After winning, go forward at full speed, and the fastest is dawn to reach the gate of Dazhai. Everything can be right."

When Liu Lang said these words, Kui Yuanzhi thought of all of them when he listened to his report, and now he just let Daiyu and Yongyu know through Liu Lang's mouth.

"As the little prince said, the pirates still want to enter the stronghold to make a fortune, so they certainly won't hurt the stewards and others in the house immediately. Their lives should be fine, but they should be frightened. And if Kui If you guessed correctly, the people who called the battle at the front door are probably just pretending, but the real killer is lying in the back hill where the boat is moored." Kui Yuanzhi said.

………………

Houshanshuibo wharf is the place where the rest of the boats are moored except for the official boat that Daiyu and Yongyu took when they entered the water village.

As mentioned above, in addition to gold and silver jewellery, silk and satin cloth, tea and porcelain, there are all kinds of ancient books, practical tools, and acrobatic recipes on board the boats here. On top of the cargo carried by the Lin Fu merchant ship.

After seeing these treasures, the spy named Gong Er immediately turned red. Regardless of the hardships of hiding his identity for many years, he went directly to the base camp, told their general, and made a plan that night and acted immediately.

They were also smart in their wishful thinking, and they knew that there was still a group of merchant ships in Lin's residence who wanted to buy, but they were lagging behind, and they were heading for the water village of Kui's house at night.So under the cover of night, they found a big boat and waited at the exit of the canal, just before entering the sea.

When the boats from Lin's shop were passing by, the pirate boats suddenly jumped in, pretending that the boat had an accident, and ran aground on the spot, cutting a fleet in half.

Lin Miao and others were not familiar with the East China Sea route, and when they realized it, they rushed to the small boat to argue with the crew on the pirate boat, and the three leading merchant ships had disappeared into the vast sea and disappeared.

Lin Miao was so anxious that she was going to report to the police immediately.But he was entangled by Japanese pirates, not only couldn't get away, but was falsely accused by them, tied up together with the boatmen and fellows, gagged, and thrown into the cargo hold.

On the other side, the three stewards and fellows on the Lin family's merchant ship were kidnapped by a large number of Japanese pirates and forced to ask for details.

The Japanese sword is in front, and the Japanese are cruel, vicious, and inhumane. How dare they not tell the truth?

That's why the Japanese pirates later pretended to be in charge of the Lin family, and even hung up the sails and flags of the Kui family's water village.

However, the Japanese pirates were worried about letting the real Lin family stewards speak out, so they gagged all of them, tied their hands and feet, and hid them in the cargo hold of their own thief ship at the back.

And the pirates also have other plans.Knowing that the gate of Kui's water village is not easy to enter, he also learned from Sun Tzu's tactics in the art of war, attacking east and west, building plank roads in the open, and keeping the warehouse in the dark.On the one hand, they sent people to call for battle at the front door, but on the other hand, they put the main force at the back Shanshuibo dock.

Sure enough, as they expected, Houshanshuibo Wharf was still the same as last night, with only a few dozen guards, and all of them were sleepy, as if they were not awake.Dozens of large ships were left behind, moored there quietly, like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Gong Er was followed by twenty or thirty arrow boats, with the lead squatting on a log-colored arrow boat.Dressed in withered yellow water, he manipulated the arrow boat and hid in the reeds, blending in with the surrounding environment.

The concealment method is superb, not to mention that the guards on the shore are far away and cannot see clearly.Even if they passed by Da Gong Er face to face, it would be difficult to find his trace.

Gong Er looked around for a long time, seeing that there were really only these guards, his heart was slightly relieved, so he waved his hand and signaled everyone behind him to follow.

The water waves are slightly rippling, the reeds are pendulum, and almost invisible fluctuations arise.

But after a cup of tea, more than [-] arrow boats were fully loaded with hundreds of Japanese pirates, and they all took their positions, hiding in the reeds.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Gong Er's order, they will kill people and seize the ship.

At this critical moment, suddenly, there was a melodious sound of bells ringing from the height of Kui's water village.

The sound of the bell, taking advantage of the mountain, rushed across the open water, and spread far away at once, causing ripples on the water.

Before Gong Er and other gangsters could react, the people in the surrounding villages of Kui's Water Village had already heard the sound, fully armed, and rushed to the edge of the water in the blink of an eye.

The men all put on water jackets, took harpoons, fishhooks, oars, kitchen knives and other handy weapons, and hid themselves in the reeds, and waited for the order from Kui's water village, and they all came out together.

The women picked up the children, led the old man by the hand, opened the secret door of the cellar, and hid inside in an orderly manner.

Instead, the door of Kui's water village was wide open, and the Japanese pirate boats were welcomed in with a smile.Without distinction, there was a bandit ship and the Lin family's merchant ship driving straight in, approaching the foot of the mountain where the Juyi Hall is located.

Kui Yuanzhi and Yong Yu stood side by side on the observation deck halfway up the mountain.

Kui Yuanzhi took a telescope and handed it to Yongyu, pointing his finger in the direction of the back mountain, motioning Yongyu to look.

Yong Yu followed him and saw a large number of water village swimmers, some dressed in water, some wearing armor, or crouching behind the nearby rocks, or tiptoeing around the back of the fleet, or simply plunging in silently. In the water, there was no trace for a long time.

At first glance, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, but when you look closely, you can find that everyone has a common goal at this moment.

But it is not those boats that are moored to let anyone get what they want, but a clump of extremely dense thatch that is almost the same distance from the boat and the shore.

Strange to say, there was no wind or waves at the moment, but the thatched grass seemed to be shaking regularly.

If you observe it long enough, you will find that the rhythm is actually a signal.Like the coded gestures in the Kuijia water village, it is a signal for communication between companions.

Yongyu learned the art of war since he was a child, and he knew that it is the most taboo for military strategists to avoid revealing secrets when marching in formation.Not to mention, once the secret words and secret words of one's own communication are known to the enemy, how serious the price will be!

"Master Kui, the shaking of that thatch is very interesting!" Yong Yu said what was in his heart.

Kui Yuanzhi has another pair of binoculars, and he has already seen all of Gong Er's movements. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "The little prince is worthy of the talent of the sky, just by looking at it, he can see the way."

"At first, Kui didn't dare to conclude that the person who came was definitely a Japanese pirate. But after listening to the report from the brothers who guarded the back mountain and water park, those people were driving arrow boats and relying on dry yellow water. They only obeyed orders and prohibited orders in their actions, so they decided It's those thieves." Kui Yuanzhi explained.

"Oh." Yong Yu replied, "So, the shaking of the grass is also a kind of signal for them."

Kui Yuanzhi cast an appreciative look at Yongyu, nodded and said, "Exactly. And it's an order to gather immediately and act immediately."

Hearing this, Yongyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he really geared up and said: "Okay! I'm afraid you won't come!"
