7.
After closing the door, there were only two people in the captain's room. Just as Fang Tinglan was about to pull a chair to sit down, Hai Lian glared at him: "Who allowed you to sit?"
"So overbearing?"
Helian sat on a chair with her legs crossed, and the straps on her boots stretched her calves into an eye-catching arc. He pointed out the window with his thumb: "If I'm really domineering, you should be hanging upside down by me to catch Bilan fish now. The fish in this place are very dense, and a little blood can attract a large number of them."
"Okay, okay," Fang Tinglan stood still, and he spread his hands, "Where do you want to ask?"
"It started when you sneaked to Jiumeng City."
"I said that I went back to Jiumeng because I missed you."
"fart."
Fang Tinglan still didn't raise his eyebrows when he was scolded, "Anyway, you won't believe what I say now, so what if I tell the real purpose?"
"Fang Tinglan." Hai Lian lowered his voice, and the depression in his pupils almost turned into a raging fire, burning straight through the eyes of the person opposite, "Stop flirting with me, and don't talk about old times with me, are you serious?" Don't you care about the lives of your subordinates outside?"
"Of course I do. It's just Your Excellency the Baron. I have to remind you that the deal we negotiated just now is for me to tell you about the box of documents on the gold ship." Fang Tinglan tilted his head slightly, biting every word Slowly, "I never promised to confess to you what I did in Jiumeng."
See, this is the politician. Hailian sneered in her heart. Four years ago, this person would pretend to be a little tricky and say some pretty words to fool him, but now he doesn't even bother to say nice words. He gritted his teeth again and again, still unable to restrain himself, and replied, "If you don't confess, do you think Falluco can't find out?"
"Then let the magistrate show his talents." Fang Tinglan kept a perfect smile, "Do you still want to hear about the gold ship? It just so happens that this matter can indeed be shared with you."
Hailian took a deep breath, "Say."
"That box of documents is a slave's death contract." Fang Tinglan cut to the chase, "A year ago, about hundreds of Tisu children were transported to an island in Moyi's territorial waters to help the nobles grow sugar cane there."
"Oh, you actually came here for the death contract of a bunch of Tisu slaves?" Hai Lian sneered, "Master Fang is suddenly so virtuous, I'm so moved that I can't sleep."
"There is a child named Ding Leshui inside, who is a descendant of my father's old department."
"Nanhong is in Tisu's old department?"
Fang Tinglan said lightly, "It has nothing to do with Chaotang. He was the person who was in charge of Shang Weiji's contact with Dongzhou. In other words, he was also your father's old department."
"..."
"Hailean," the man let out a soft breath, "anything in the past is worth a trip for me."
Hailian's expression froze: "What do you mean by telling me this now?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't know." Hailian replied bluntly.
"Helian."
"Don't call me by my name."
The little pirate looked like an arrogant cheetah when he raised his jaw to him, but Fang Tinglan felt that he was more like a wild cat that bluffed and refused to be petted. Of course he knew that he and the other party had already become an almost unsolvable dilemma, but when he really wanted to face each other so harshly, he still felt helpless from the bottom of his heart. Fang Tinglan sighed silently: "Your Excellency, Baron. Please believe that I have no hostility towards Tisu. I only intend to return to Nanhong after finishing my business. Now that I am accidentally captured by you, I have nothing to say—it's just a child." is innocent."
Helian stopped talking.
There was nothing to say, so the captain's room returned to silence. The two ships are still connected by the horizontal cable at this time, like conjoined twins slowly undulating on the sea with the summer wind. Hai Lian leaned back on the seat, quietly watching the chart on the wall with ups and downs, but Fang Tinglan could tell that the assassin's pupils were out of focus.
"Which island is it?" After a long time, the person in the seat asked.
Fang Tinglan walked to the map and pointed to a point on the latitude and longitude.
"Rochet Island. The defenders are not too many. The cliffs to the south and the fortress to the north. The commander is a waste. He can pee his pants when he hears the gunfire." Hai Lian continued to ask, "How much gold is there on the gold ship?"
"Are you sure?" Fang Tinglan was a little surprised, "Even if your Heijiao is the most dangerous ship in Yunhai, it is impossible to face seven or eight frigates."
Hai Lian snorted: "I say it's okay to do things in the sea, and it's okay."
"Well, after all, you are the Lord of the Sea." Fang Tinglan spread his hands.
"It's settled like that, all the gold belongs to me, and you take it away." Hai Lian stood up, "Don't even think about playing tricks on the Heishan, Fang Tinglan."
When the other party said this, Fang Tinglan knew that he had won again. "No problem. If you are worried, you can tie me up, and I promise I will stay with you every step of the way." The man said, and stretched out his hands towards him with a smile.
Hai Lian glanced at Zhen Haigong's clean and slender hands, and thought of something, but his face became more and more ugly. He snorted again, too lazy to answer the other party's words, he just walked past Fang Tinglan in two or three steps, and walked out the door with a bang.
8.
An hour later, the tightly fastened cross rope broke away from the ship's side, and the smuggling boat regained its freedom.
The mainmast was swaying in the wind because of the bombardment, as if it might fall down at any time; the crew was busy repairing the deck, not daring to take a second look at the departing Black Shark until the Sha Shen sailed. Twenty nautical miles away, only one person approached the first officer cautiously and asked, "Let's leave Mr. Fang alone there, will it be all right?"
"I heard people say that the Lord of the Sea said he was a baron, but he was actually Tisufeng's queen pirate. I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck."
Fang Tinglan's subordinates are generous, and he is gentle and elegant. Now that he has been captured alone, the others are safe and sound. Everyone thinks that sheep have entered the wolf's den. They are afraid that the barbarians on the Heisman will kill their Zhenhai Duke after a while. Directly "town" the sea.
"And this time, we were going to have secret talks with the defenders of Rochester Island," someone became more and more worried, "Now that we are intercepted by Tisu so unreasonably, will it delay Master Fang's plan?"
The first officer also glanced at the black smoke on the horizon in the distance, and shook his head, "Forget it, we can't do anything now, let's go back to Dongzhou first." He frowned deeply, and whispered to himself He said to himself, "I can only see how Master Zhou arranges it."
And Mr. Fang, who was being worried by his subordinates, was happily helping Hailian plan the map.
"... You mean that we landed from the cliff in the south and arrived at Rochester Island ahead of time, and then directly occupied the fortress?" Fang Tinglan compared the distance on the map with a ruler, "Should be able to catch up with the speed, but just Is there enough manpower on the Heisman to deal with the defenders over there?"
"I'll go to the tavern over there when I transfer to Metallic Point for supplies the day after tomorrow. There should be a lot of captains who are short of money." Hai Lian said.
"Ah, just like the mercenaries in Beimo." Fang Tinglan continued with a smile, "Make a surprise attack, and Luoxie Island will belong to you at that time, and then use Mo Yiren's cannon to hit Mo Yiren's frigate. That's what it means."
Helian nodded.
Originally, Hai Lian was trying to deal with Fang Tinglan with all his strength, now that the plan was drawn up, he took a sip of wine from his bosom to refresh himself. The dry throat was moistened with wine, and his thin, colorless lips showed a bit of blood. Fang Tinglan's eyes stopped on it involuntarily, and they rubbed together for a long time without making a fuss.
He suddenly remembered something: "Have you had your drink yet?"
Hailian was startled: "What?"
"Flowers commit spring." He said softly.
"..." The little pirate looked puzzled, "It's not a rare wine. Now it's everywhere on the smuggling ship, and I've already drank it."
"That's good." Fang Tinglan raised the corner of his mouth.
In fact, wine is still a rare wine, even rarer than before.
He knew that it might be difficult for him to fulfill his promise to take Hailian to Chijin's Taipinglou to drink a pot of flowers and commit spring. Four years ago, he simply bought out the boss's secret recipe with a lot of money, built a winery by himself, and then all went to Tiny In the boat of Su's Fang family, there will be dozens of altars left, so that when a person arrives, he can give them away.
It's just that this person is in front of him now, so he doesn't want the other party to know his secretive thoughts.
Fang Tinglan was in a happy mood because of this answer, and his tone became more and more gentle: "By the way, when the time comes to land on Rochester Island, shall I accompany you?"
"Of course you want to go with me. Don't you think I'll leave you on board the Blackfish so that you can find out the structure of the ship so that you can arm your fleet?" Hai Lian glanced at him angrily. replied.
"Then you have to keep a close eye on me," the man frowned, "don't let me get out of your sight."
