The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 259 Incitement

After entering late May, the weather became even hotter. The sun was shining directly at noon, and even the well platform was scalding hot. The cicadas on the garden trees screamed until their throats smoked and their voices became hoarse and unpleasant.

Mandarin opened her eyes in her sleep, only to feel the bright window paper dazzling her eyes. It took her a while to get used to it. It turned out that she was unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning last night. She didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, and actually slept until noon.

At this moment, Mandarin didn't seem to be fully awake, her brain was still in a state of emptiness, and she stared blankly at the window paper. After a moment, she suddenly sat up, looking down at herself in a panic, and found that not only was she missing a piece of clothing, Instead, there was a brand new thin quilt.

Mandarin couldn't help but was stunned, and suddenly turned her head to look at the bed. As expected, the bed was empty, and Jia Huan's figure was no longer there. The guy had obviously left while she was asleep.

"Oh my god, I actually slept so well!" Mandarin grabbed the quilt and put it under her nose and smelled it. She felt quite complicated and thought to herself: "Is that guy too young to do that? Bad thing? Impossible. That guy is smarter than a ghost. I'm afraid he's fifteen or sixteen years old. How could he not understand? Or maybe I misjudged him. He is actually an upright gentleman? Whatever, let's sleep for a while. , I’m too sleepy!”

Mandarin simply lay down again, covered her head with a thin quilt, quietly listened to the cicadas singing outside, and fell asleep again.

It turned out that Mandarin had tried to escape many times since she fell into the hands of Rohr, but all failed in the end. Every time she escaped, she was severely punished. In the end, she was even chained to the bottom cabin. After a few During the dark moonlit days, several sailors who coveted her tried to violate her many times, but they failed because she resisted desperately.

Just imagine, living in this kind of environment, being on tenterhooks and tense your nerves all the time, how can you sleep peacefully? On the contrary, today was the most peaceful and relaxing sleep she had had in months.

At this time, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and Jia Huan walked in carrying a baggage. He saw Mandarin still sleeping with her head covered on the low couch. She couldn't help but feel dumb. This foreign girl really took it seriously. Is it at home? He casually placed the bundle beside the couch, turned around and left, and gently closed the door.

Mu Ye and Jin Bao, who were guarding outside the door, looked at each other with a tacit expression of wanting to be beaten. It wasn't until Jia Huan left the yard that he sighed that the third master was extremely talented and his small body contained a lot of power. The energy actually made a big ocean horse gallop like this. It couldn't get up even at noon. What a tiger!

If Jia Huan hears the discussion of these idiots right now, he might let them know what it means to have a small body but a lot of energy on the spot!

Mandarin slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then woke up hungry. However, although she was hungry, she was in very good spirits, and her charming blue eyes also glowed, giving people a different feeling. That numb happy-go-lucky attitude.

Mandarin looked around the room, but did not see Jia Huan. Instead, she found a plate of steamed buns and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus-scented pastries on the table. She was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. He stuffed the buns into his mouth, opened his mouth from left to right, and quickly ate up a plate of buns and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Oh my God, I can eat so rudely. If my mother sees me, she will beat me and scold me for not being a lady. But these fragrant pastries are so delicious, I have never eaten them before." Mandarin licked them with endless pleasure. Licking your fingers is both playful and cute, as well as alluring.

Even though this foreign girl is over 1.75 meters tall, she is actually only seventeen years old and still a young girl, and girls with eyes like crescent moons are undoubtedly particularly beautiful.

Mandarin drank another cup of herbal tea, finally feeling full in her stomach, and burped happily. Only then did she have time to notice the bundle Jia Huan left beside the couch. She couldn't help but open it curiously, and it turned out that it was A set of Jin women's clothes and a pair of embroidered cloth shoes.

……

Dulong Island is located east of Hangzhou Bay and about two hundred miles southeast of the Yangtze River Estuary. It is now the Greater Huanglong Island to which the Shengsi Islands belong. After the Great Salt King Gu Sanmazi occupied it, the island was renamed Dulong Island. He also called himself Dulong King, and not only continued to sell private salt, but also became a pirate who robbed passing merchant ships, and even coastal states and counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Dulong Island is divided into Big Dulong Island and Xiaolong Dulong Island. The two islands are only about 500 meters apart. Watching from east to west, there is a long and narrow waterway in the middle. It is a natural deep-water harbor. You only need to build a water wall to block both ends of the waterway. It became a naval base, and nearly a thousand large and small ships on Dulong Island were anchored in this harbor.

Small Dulong Island is small in area, has sparse vegetation, and only has a small number of pirates stationed there. However, Big Dulong Island is much larger, covering an area of ​​five square kilometers, with lush vegetation, mountains and waters, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Food can be partially self-sufficient.

Gu San Mazi has been operating here for many years. He has thousands of large and small ships under his command and has more than 10,000 troops. Among the numerous pirate gangs along the coast of Dajin, Gu San Mazi’s strength can be said to be second to none. Almost all of them along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang It's all his decision.

Let's talk about Kang Dayong's original plan to lead the fleet of officers and soldiers into the depths of the ocean, and then use his own advantages to kill the opponent. However, what happened was that he suddenly encountered a huge storm, and there was no need for him to take action. The eight-bow ship sank with six bows. Of course, Kang Dayong did not know this, because when he rushed out of the storm, only the three-bow ship was left with him. Later, he found the missing one bow, and the total was only four. There are about five hundred people in the bow boat.

At this time, Kang Dayong was undoubtedly in a very depressed mood. He recalled that when he ascended the high ground and shouted, he immediately summoned more than 3,000 pirates to attack Haimen County, overwhelmingly capturing Lu Sichang and Haimen County, and massacred the local officials' statues. They were slaughtered like dogs. In just ten days, a team of tens of thousands of people had grown. Unfortunately, they were driven back to the sea by the officers and soldiers before they could even get their butts warm. Only 500 of the 3,000 pirates were left to rob Haimen County. The large amount of supplies that came in were almost all lost. It was like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket, but it was all in vain. What a shame! Not willing to give in!

Kang Dayong was shirtless and stood on the deck of the bow of the ship with a gloomy expression, letting the strong sea wind blow and the hot summer sun. The other pirates stayed far away, and no one dared to step forward to cause trouble, because everyone knew that the third master was cruel and murderous. If anyone provoked him at this time, 90% of the time, blood would be splashed on the spot.

However, there were some people who did not believe in evil. At this time, one person actually took the initiative to move towards Kang Dayong. The pirates around him immediately turned their attention to him and found that this guy who was dissatisfied with his longevity was none other than Li Ji, who had recently taken refuge. Everyone immediately started whispering.

The gold-toothed dog of the Nine Masters was squatting in the shadow of the corner and picking his teeth. A strange color flashed in his eyes when he saw this, and then he sneered. This Li Ji was originally rescued from the Miaowanchang cell in Yancheng County. Seeing that he was smart , and knew a few words, so he was re-employed. As a result, this guy has been fawning over the third master recently, and he has become less and less important to himself as the ninth master, especially after the third master asked him to lead the new soldiers he recruited.

It's a pity that this kid's plan didn't succeed. Instead, the third master's family lost Haimen County, lost his wife, and lost his troops. But at this time, he didn't know where to hide, and he dared to step forward to cause trouble for the third master's family. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”. Hehe, there is something good to watch now.

The gold-toothed dog looked at Li Hongji's back from a distance as if looking at a dead person, just waiting for the flash of the sword to pass by. The Third Master's nickname is Yi Dao, which is not for nothing. He likes to cut people in half with one knife.

Sure enough, Kang Dayong was in a terrible mood. When he saw Li Hongji walking towards him, he suddenly became murderous and glanced at the latter ferociously.

However, Li Hongji was completely unaware and walked straight to Kang Dayong and said, "Is the Third Master worried that he won't be able to explain to the First Master when he returns to the island?"

Kang Dayong's right hand had already touched the handle of the knife. He was stunned when he heard this and frowned: "Why do you say that?" Li Hongji said: "It's very simple. The third master didn't discuss it with the first master before gathering people to attack Haimen. The first master didn't discuss it with the first master." You are already very dissatisfied, otherwise I would not have sent Qin Hongyu, the fifth master, to ask you to go back.

Originally, if the third master could bring back a large amount of property to honor the first master, he might be able to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the first master. However, the third master suffered a defeat and lost all his troops. There were only about 500 people left from the 3,000 people. Even if Qin Hongyu, the fifth master, was added, I'm afraid the number of brothers who were called away probably won't exceed a thousand, and most of the property the Third Master stole from Haimen County was lost. How could the First Master easily spare you, the Third Master? "

Kang Dayong's face suddenly darkened. Although he was brave, murderous, and willful, he did not lack brains, otherwise he would not have secretly cultivated his own power. Li Hongji's words undoubtedly spoke to his heart, but he did not speak Shang sneered and said: "So what, we are still a family. Are we still afraid that the boss will kill me, my son-in-law?"

Li Ji shook his head and continued to incite: "My son-in-law is not a son. If I don't have one, I can find another one. When the head of the family chose you, Master Dao, it was natural that he valued your skills and abilities, Master Dao, but mainly he valued the Kang family." Backstage, now that the Kang family has been defeated, and Mr. Dao, you have made your own decisions and supported your own troops. How can the master tolerate you again? Master Dao, you just lost your troops and returned with a defeat this time. The master uses this reason to confront Mr. Dao. It’s not impossible to do it.”

Kang Dayong's eyes were sharp, and the long knife in his hand turned into a cold light and flew towards Li Hongji's neck. Seeing that the latter was about to be dismembered, the light of the knife suddenly stopped.

I saw the knife in Kang Dayong's hand frozen in the air, and the blade was less than half an inch away from Li Hongji's neck. His eyesight and wrist strength were really powerful, and he couldn't do it without any skills.

Kang Dayong stared at Li Hongji and said with a ferocious smile: "Li Ji, what are your intentions in provoking a relationship between me and the boss' son-in-law?"

Li Hongji said calmly: "This subordinate is not instigating, I am just worried about Master Dao's life. I, Li Ji, respect Master Dao as a true man who dares to kill officials and rebel. It would be a pity if he died in the hands of an old man like Gu San Mazi." , Gu Sanmazi is too old and has no ambitions. Only in the hands of Master Dao can Dulong Island develop and grow."

Kang Dayong stared at Li Hongji for a long time, and then said calmly: "Then what do you think I should do?"

A flash of light flashed in Li Hongji's eyes, and he uttered five words: "Strike first is the strongest."

Kang Dayong's expression changed for a long time, and suddenly he said viciously: "Li Ji, what do you want from me? Don't treat me like a fool!" As he said that, the blade of the blade had already touched the skin of Li Hongji's neck. Obviously, if the latter's answer could not be When he was satisfied, he immediately ended up with his head missing.

Li Hongji took a deep breath and said: "I hate officials, I hate this court, and I want to rebel against him."

Kang Dayong sneered: "Is it because of this?"

Li Hongji felt a pain in his neck, and his skin had obviously been cut by the blade. In desperation, he hurriedly added: "I want to be the second boss!"

Kang Dayong laughed loudly when he heard this, and even put away his long sword. As the saying goes, if you don't serve yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Li Hongji's words made him believe it, because he himself had always wanted to replace Gu San Mazi and sit on the throne of the head of the family.

Kang Dayong sheathed his sword, reached out and patted Li Hongji on the shoulder and said: "Li Ji, actually when I first saw you, I knew you were a restless guy. Hehe, but it doesn't matter. You will work under my hand, Kang Dayong." , as long as you have real ability, let alone the second master, if you have that, the first master may also have your share."

Li Hongji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "I don't dare. Li Ji is not the material to be the leader. He will be satisfied just being the second boss under Master Dao."

Kang Dayong nodded and said calmly: "Being the second master is not something you can do with just one word. You have to come up with some real books. Otherwise, I have so many brothers under my command, and in terms of skills and qualifications, you can't be ranked. What’s the number?”

Li Hongji nodded and said: "Of course, my subordinates will not let Master Dao down."

Kang Dayong looked around, then turned and walked to the cabin. Li Hongji immediately followed him smartly. The two closed the cabin door and started drinking together. Later, they called the golden-toothed dog, river rat and other backbones in.

On this day, Kang Dayong finally led four boats back to Dulong Island and slowly sailed into the port between the two islands.

As soon as Kang Dayong entered the port, he searched everywhere for the fifth master Qin Hongyu's ship, but he did not find it. Even the ships that left with Qin Hongyu were not there.

Kang Dayong couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Could it be that Qin Hongyu's stinky boat sank in the storm? If this is really the case, God help me!

Among the many forces on Dulong Island, the one that Kang Dayong fears the most is Qin Hongyu, the fifth leader. As for Gu Sanmazi, he is old, and his two sons are also mediocre people. Although each of them is in charge of a fleet, Kang Dayong is not Keep them in mind.

"Dock!" Kang Dayong gave the order, and his four-bow boat docked.
