Xu Baomo was startled when he heard this. He didn't bother to answer her words and went to ask: "Does that ship belong to Brother Hengshu? Then why did you... last night take us brothers and sisters away quietly?"
"His father didn't want him to go back to his sworn brother." Sheng Weiqiao curled his lips and said, "So he and his leg Dongli Yingwaihe mixed incense into the herbs that were smoked in the small building yesterday, so that we could all If you fall asleep, leave!”
She roughly explained what she heard from Sheng Suihe, and asked again, "Did Brother Shi not fall into the incense? Why did he catch up so quickly? Did he think that his father would receive the news before he could send someone here?" Pick him up!"
"He has a special physique, and the scent is very useful for him." Xu Baomo's eyes flashed and he explained, "So when those people moved our brothers and sisters on the boat last night, he found out that it was good. That's right. When he tried to wake up Mr. Feng and the others next door, he found that they couldn't scream no matter how hard they screamed. At that time, he didn't know that they had no ill intentions in our brother and sister's fault. He was worried that he alone could not pay for their fault, but would instead hurt us, so he After leaving a temporary note in the room, I quietly climbed onto their boat while they were not paying attention, trying to find an opportunity to rescue us."
The boat he boarded was of course not the one Sheng Weiqiao had been in when he woke up, but the boat used by those people in Fangfei Lake.
Although Xu Baomo was never found in Huafangzai, he never found a chance to save others. Later, the painting boat sailed out of Fangfei Lake and entered the river connected to the sea. It was no longer suitable for use. Those people changed to the building boat - Xu Baomo couldn't mix with the building boat anymore, so they could leave the painting boat and find another boat to find people.
Fortunately, he paid his birthday to Mr. Sheng in public that month. All the people in Dongtou from Nanfeng County were present that day, and his entourage all remembered the appearance of Prince Ningwei. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get such a ship. The ship and its personnel.
After Sheng Weiqiao heard what happened, he was very grateful: "That man is really rude, and it really hurts my brother!"
Xu Baomo had preconceptions, thinking that her unwillingness to call Sheng Suihe "brother" was because Sheng Suihe was wrong and failed to retain her, so he insisted on leaving in anger.
He thought for a while and felt that based on his relationship with the Sheng family and his relationship with "his big Qiao", it was not possible to find out about that kind of thing, so he asked: "Unknown Brother Hengshu's sworn brother." What is the situation of the crisis we are in? Ordinarily, considering Uncle Sheng Shi’s character, they have raised Brother Heng Shu for all these years, so shouldn’t they be indifferent to their predicament?”
"He doesn't know either!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned when he reminded her. Although Xuan Yu Feng's evaluation of Sheng Lan Ci was often described as "cruel and cruel", but based on her understanding of her biological father, Sheng Lan Ci was Lan Ci is definitely not a person who repays kindness with hatred.
Just as Xu Baomo said, Sheng Suihe's sworn brother's family had raised Sheng Suihe for a while. When Ruming encountered difficulties, why didn't Sheng Lanci say anything
"Does the concubine really deny his father's flesh and blood? So dad doesn't care about his sworn brother's kindness to him?" Sheng Weiqiao thought of that, but felt that it was not feasible, and thought to himself, "If he doesn't deny his father's Bones and blood, what does his father do to recognize him back? Is dad the eldest son of his grandfather, and the person in charge of the Sheng family's property! If my mother didn't give him a biological brother, can his son be the natural heir to the Sheng family!"
No matter how generous Sheng Lanci was, would he be so generous as to hand over such a big business to an outsider with no blood ties? !
"..." Xu Baomo choked slightly, obviously he didn't expect that Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Suihe had been on the same boat for so long, and they didn't even ask such a pressing question - but he quickly found an explanation for Sheng Weiqiao: He Da Qiao is so generous and kind. When he heard that his brother asked to leave, he kept trying to persuade him not to leave, so he neglected other things. Isn't this excusable
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao frowning at this moment, Xu Baomo thought that she was very sad about Sheng Suihe's departure, and was looking for some words of comfort, but she heard Sheng Weiqiao say: "It's his fault that he was brought back by his father." His father must know about this! Please don’t they go back and ask his father?”
"That's not true." Xu Baomo thought of Sheng Lanci's murderous gaze that time, and his heart shuddered, but then he thought about whether he could have "rescued" his daughter that time!
Even if Sheng Weiqiao's situation is not as critical as he imagined, there is no merit but hard work. When he saw Sheng Lanci again that time, Uncle Sheng Shi wouldn't be so mistaken that he was so wary, right? He coughed dryly and said, "It's windy on the deck. Why don't you go back to the cabin to take a rest?"
Sheng Weiqiao was begging for permission, but suddenly several sharp whistles of different lengths came from the mast, and the water legs that were scattered around so as not to disturb their conversation all showed shock. Someone hurried over to remind them: "Two Wei Euns." Guests, please get in the cabin quickly! We have encountered pirates!"
"Pirates?!" Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao were pushed into the cabin in a daze. Before they could react, they saw that everyone on the boat was running hysterically, raising the sails and preparing to escape. At the same time, they all picked up the guys and prepared to fight. Seeing that scene, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but grab a young man of twelve or thirteen years old not far away, and said in surprise, "Isn't it true that pirates now stop ships just to ask for money?" ?”
"Miss, if you have been raising a benefactor like you outside the Jade Horse Golden Hall for many years, of course you don't know the sufferings of our people!" When the young man heard this, he gave her a red look and sneered, "From the beginning of next year, Old Master Gongsun will be killed." After he died in battle, the Gongsun family was retreating steadily and had to retreat to Tortoiseshell Island. The Gongsun family's ship never came out to the east of the broad daylight and the moon again! For example, the bandit ships cruising around the sea today are either Han Hai's legions or Pan Hai's men! Both of these families are outsiders, and the powerful families in the county have not given them any excuses. Once they catch up with us, will they be able to kill people and build ships? Why aren't you ready to fight? ! "
The young man spoke sarcastically, obviously feeling that he was in an upcoming crisis because Xu Baomo borrowed a boat and people from his boss to rescue Sheng Weiqiao. Otherwise, he should not have gone to sea at all. How could he be in such a good situation? thing? !
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she relaxed her legs in embarrassment. Xu Baomo gave her a comforting look and said to the young man: "My father is still a bit thin in the court. If we can't escape later, we can report his identity. Licensing makes them afraid.”
Although pirates are just a group of desperadoes, they may not give face to the powerful people on the shore. However, Han and Pan are currently besieging Tortoise Island in the east. Once Ning Weihou's son is killed, Nanfeng County's navy will definitely seek to go to sea to attack and give Ningwei Hou an explanation - even if they can retreat by then, There is no way to avenge Gongsun for killing his father.
So thinking about it, it's not a way to escape.
Life was promising. The young man's expression softened a lot, and the awe of the guilty person reappeared in his eyes. He bowed before running to report to the person in charge.
However, things are unpredictable - half a while later, a bandit ship flying the "Han" flag was chased from the sky. The ship was restructured and was extremely fast; the ship Xu Baomo was looking for was not randomly selected by Hasty East. Even though there was no cargo on board at the moment and the sails were fully hung, he was being chased by the wrong party at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Seeing this situation, the people on board the boat did not wave flags or shouted loudly to inform the other side that Prince Ning Weihou was on the boat, so that the other side would throw a rat weapon and not dare to move their legs.
Unexpectedly, the ship did slow down, but then it chased even more urgently!
"Oops!" The person in charge of the ship turned red, "Han Pan has been besieging Tortoise Island for a long time, but has been unable to break through the Gongsun family's defense. Now, do you want to use Crown Prince Dongxu as a bargaining chip to force An Zai to give them a hand?" Got a leg!"
In fact, he had just thought of this when he heard the young man go to report the matter. However, it was a matter of life and safety, and everyone had a sense of luck, so the method of bringing out Xu Baomo's identity should not be ignored - Xu Baomo himself did not He was very calm and said calmly: "Let's just use the bargaining chip as a bargaining chip. After all, their wrong leader Gongsun is not a good person." So what if we, the people on the boat, can protect the East and have a make-believe with them? "
His calm demeanor made everyone in the boat relax a bit. The young man from before blurted out: "Then we want to escape?"
"Can you escape?" Xu Baomo did not answer him directly, but looked at the person in charge. The person in charge smiled bitterly and said: "You can't escape. Otherwise, how could I leak your whereabouts?"
At that time, the bandit ship was already approaching, and many pirates could be seen gearing up, swinging flying claws and hook ropes, preparing to jump off the side of the ship. Whether the human legs on Xu Baomo's boat were improvised or not depends on the number of people, it won't be the same as the pirate's legs, let alone the combat effectiveness gap between ordinary sailors and pirates!
Xu Baomo motioned to Sheng Weiqiao to come to him: "Then stop the boat!"
Since you can't run away, you still have to fight. If you insist on continuing to escape, if you anger those lawless gangsters, even if you want to use yourself as a bargaining chip, it may not be possible for others to get in trouble. Xu Baomo very much hoped that he would use his identity to protect those people in the east, so that he would not struggle needlessly.
Not long after they stopped the boat, the wrong party arrived. The flying claws and hook ropes flew out like locusts and tied the two ships tightly. Five or six springboards were erected in an instant. A group of shirtless men in the vanguard rushed over with shouts. Turning their eyes, they all fell on Xu. Bao Mo and Sheng Weiqiao are here - especially the latter. Sheng Weiqiao has a beautiful appearance and a black servant girl. She is already a recognized little beauty. Now she is standing among a group of dark water legs who have been running in the sea for many years, and she is even more outstanding. .
Those people who originally refused to enter the cabin to search found her unable to move, pointing and whistling, and even boldly took a few steps closer to take advantage of her.
Seeing this, Xu Baomo's face suddenly darkened, and while protecting Sheng Weiqiao behind him, he said in a cold voice: "He is the prince of Ningweihou, who was granted the title of Ningwei by the imperial court! My father is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, and we meet each other in the bright moon, but I don't know what you are in charge of." Where is the person?!”
Those people took a wrong look, but did not dare to continue messing around. They looked at Sheng Weiqiao reluctantly and entered the cabin.
Then another group of people came to the springboard, but they did not go in to search. They looked at Xu Baomo for a few times, crossed his legs and said without smiling: "Is that the prince? The young master of his family has invited me!"
Were everyone surprised when they heard this? They actually met the son of Master Han Hai
"Since the prince has taken the initiative to ask people to stop the boat, I would like to see a famous person come." After a while, Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao arrived at the wrong side of the boat and saw the young master - he said that he was in his thirties, but he seemed to be in his thirties. In his appearance, I don’t know if Young Master Han looks mature, or if he is indeed quite old.
Even though Young Master Han from Bu Nao was unattractive in appearance, he was a very straightforward person. As soon as he met him, he got straight to the point, "He and his father wanted to avenge their grandfather, but the Gongsun family had been occupying Tortoiseshell Island for many years and managed it perfectly! The prince has a noble status and is also I have a deep friendship with the Sheng family, one of the three most powerful families in Nanfeng County. If I can help him and others, make the sea disappear in the wind and the clouds return to calm, but everyone will be happy!"
Before Xu Baomo could shut up, he added, "It's been a day or two since we talked about the Gongsun family's troubles. Four generations of the Gongsun family are on the government's reward list. The head of their family is After paying homage to his grandfather, it is of no use, but if the prince brings him back to shore, the court will have to commend him - what does the prince think?"
That slow-burning end was nothing more than "coercion and inducement": without cooperation, Xu Baomo would never have a good outcome; with cooperation, Xu Baomo would probably have a good future.
Xu Baomo had already prepared a compromise, but at this moment he said readily: "If we meet, we are destined, so please, young master, please don't hurt my son and everyone on the same boat. I, my son, should do my best!" "
"It's just a few boatmen who wanted to burn the boat and kill the people. Since the prince is kind, it's okay to spare their lives!" Young Master Han was very satisfied with his answer, waved his leg, and ordered his leg to go east. Passing on Daodong's order to retain people, he added, "He has ordered people to prepare a guest room. During that time, the prince has been wronged!"
Xu Baomo was begging for an answer when Young Master Han suddenly glanced at Sheng Weiqiao behind him. A flash of amazement flashed in his eyes and he said: "That maid who can be the crown prince? She is worthy of being the crown prince's sidekick. With such beauty, she I’ve never seen it before in Haizaiji!”
"Young Master, please respect yourself!" Xu Baomo's face turned grim, "That's not my sister-in-law!"
"So you are a young lady from the Marquis Mansion?" Young Master Han showed an apologetic look, stood up, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "But you are a certain Han?"
Xu Baomo didn't want to fall out with him because he was treating him like a fish, so he pressed Sheng Weiqiao comfortingly, suppressed his anger and said, "It doesn't matter. But I don't know where the guest room arranged for them is? My sister-in-law. You are young and already a little tired just now.”
"Your Majesty, since we have agreed to form an alliance to kill the Gongsun family together, why don't we take that cooperation one step further?" Young Master Han rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Although Han is already twenty-five years old, he has not married yet. My wife, judging from your sister's age and dress, it seems that Yunying is not married. The prince also said just now that there is a fate when they meet. Since Han has such a fate with Miss Xu, how can he live up to it? How about just getting married to Dong? "
