The life of pirates is exciting, but it is also very difficult. Cao Qi thought he would eventually die in a robbery without eyes, and then his body would become food for fish in the sea.
So after being let go by Xin Laoqi last time, he found a place to settle down with some people who were still willing to follow his men.
House building, land reclamation, fishing
Cao Qi gradually found the feeling of life in his hometown, for which he was infatuated.
He would sit on the ridge on the way to work, and then look into the distance, quietly thinking about his hometown and the grain head killed by himself.
The grain head was very greedy. He would collect about 10% more every time he collected grain. If anyone dared to point out his mistakes, he would admit his mistakes with a smile and be very modest.
Cao Qi's father pointed out liang Chang's hands and feet in public, and then Liang Chang suddenly realized his mistake.
Then... Just two days later, Cao Qi's father "committed an offence".
Then, his father died in obscurity. But no one expected that Cao Qihui, who was calm and sad at that time, would bury his father
It was half a year later. Cao Qi had been living an honest life for half a year
"Seven elder brothers, someone is looking for you."
Cao Qi looked back and saw that a villager of the village downstream was led by his men.
"But there are thieves?"
Cao Qi felt that his hidden desire to kill was ignited again. His eyes were red, his fists clenched, stared at the visitor and asked.
The comer said with a happy face, "brother seven, it's Xinghe Bo. Come and talk to you."
"Xinghebo?"
Cao Qi's heart was at sixes and sevens, which suppressed the panic of his men, and then followed the people to swim down.
After seeing the giant ship parked at sea, Cao Qi put down his worry and went all the way.
"I've seen xinghebo."
He knelt down and saluted. Fang woke up and pointed to Zhu gaoxu around him and said, "this is your Highness the king of Han."
Cao Qi was startled and hurriedly turned to kowtow.
Zhu gaoxu was impatient and asked, "Fang Xing, what are you looking for him for?"
Fang Xing waved Cao Qi up and asked, "is there someone here?"
Cao Qi said respectfully, "uncle, there are some savages here."
"Savage?"
Fang Xing said, "those can be comforted."
The so-called savages are tribes in the mountains. Those tribes are the kings of the mountains. If they are eliminated, Fang Xing estimates that they will be like guerrilla warfare, and the gains will not outweigh the losses.
Zhu gaoxu was disappointed when he heard this. He stared at Cao Qi and asked, "can there be any thieves?"
Cao Qi's legs trembled. He said with a smile: "Your Highness, yes. In the past, when the Japanese pirates were rampant, xiaoryukyu was bullied by them. Later, Daming destroyed the Japanese country, and many people sneaked out. But the coastal Daming Navy checked tightly, and they came to xiaoryukyu all the way..."
He was nervous. Fang woke up and felt tired, but Zhu gaoxu got up and shouted, "take the king's armor and form a team. Let's kill the enemy!"
Fang woke up and covered his forehead and said, "Your Highness, the sergeant didn't rest well at this time!"
"Speed is important..."
Zhu gaoxu thought for a moment. Feeling that he was a little depressed because of taking a boat, he said angrily, "just find out where the Japanese pirates are first, and the scouts will go right away."
The orders of the army can't be discounted. Even if the scouts still don't adapt, they still check the weapons and horses and ask for dry food.
Cao Qi looked at the scouts' equipment with envy. If he had these things, how many people would he die less!
"You lead the way."
Zhu gaoxu involuntarily took Cao Qi as his own man, "don't fight, quietly find out where the Japanese stay, and then come back with a reward."
Once it comes to war, Zhu gaoxu will become organized.
Cao Qi nodded. He knew it was an opportunity. As long as it could be done, even if he returned to the Central Plains, those people couldn't help him.
However, he still had the thought of meritorious service, so he asked for instructions: "Your Highness, there were some brothers in the past, but now they are all men who dare to fight."
Zhu gaoxu's eyes were cold and said, "if you were in the war between the two countries, you would be taking the road to death. Go!"
Cao Qi was frightened in a cold sweat. After he had a meeting with Fang Wu, he asked in a low voice, "Sir, is there anything taboo about that small remark?"
Fang Wuzhi pointed to an empty horse on the side. Cao Qi nodded and said, "the little one can ride a horse. He robbed those ships before, and then got some horses..."
When his poor posture on the horse was found, he burst into laughter in the scouts.
Fang Wu got on his horse and turned back and said, "let's go!"
After leaving the village, Fang Wu explained: "the army is fighting. You are a small force staring at the side, and the origin is unknown. What is it that you are not looking for death?"
A scout on the left stared at Cao Qi's neck unkindly and said with a smile: "the army will not care what you are. As long as there is a threat, they will kill you first. Even your majesty can only say that you killed well!"
Seeing that Cao Qi was very frightened, Fang Wu scolded the scout and said, "as long as you can solve the Japanese pirates, you are your own, so it's up to you."
Cao Qi nodded hard. No matter for himself or his brothers, he wanted to fight.
After the scouts set out, Fang Xing and others stationed near the village. If outsiders see dense tents, they must be scared to pee.
One night later, Zhu gaoxu came out of the tent swearing. He really couldn't stand the humid climate here and felt sticky.
So early in the morning, Zhu gaoxu took someone to take a bath in the stream. Fang woke up and ate breakfast slowly.
The children in the village were not afraid of them after they got the food and meat of the fleet at home yesterday. They ran in twos and threes to see the rarity.
I saw a lot of sergeants squatting at breakfast and listening to the sound of purring. Some of the children bit their fingers and drooled, and some licked their lips.
There is no breakfast in such a place. It's good to ensure two meals a day.
Fang woke up, stopped using chopsticks and shouted, "ask the cook to get noodles for the children. Just eat as much as you can. Don't die."
The children were not happy, but turned around and ran away. Fang woke up and shouted, "if you run again, ask adults to fight. You won't come to bed for three days."
Those children are like rabbits hit by arrows. When they make an emergency stop, the boys look happy, while the girls are mostly timid.
Fang woke up and saw a girl about the size of worry free. Her face was a little dirty, and her clothes could cover her body. At her feet were a pair of straw sandals, and there were several scars on her toes, dark.
Hey!
Fang Xing waved to the girl: "sister, come here."
The girl's conditioned reflex hid behind. Wang he watched the excitement on the side and shouted, "this is xinghebo. He likes children best. Come here and have sugar."
At this time, a woman came with a wooden basin full of mended clothes for the crew of the fleet. Seeing this, she took the baby girl by hand.
The girl looked at Fang Xing timidly. Fang Xing touched her tangled hair before she could escape, and then shouted, "old seven, give these children sugar."
Xin Laoqi was in the back. When he heard the sound, he got a bunch of sugar from his baggage and held it in front with both hands.
When Fang woke up, he frowned and said, "bring it all!"
Another servant went to bring the baggage. Fang woke up, opened it, waved and said, "come on, one for each."
Those children dare not ask for a bowl of noodles. They wake up and say they'll fight if they don't eat it, but if they take something they don't know, they'll be smoked by adults when they go home.
Don't mess with those people!
These are the words of the adults in the village.
Fang Xing took a sugar and opened his mouth to the little girl. After she opened her mouth blankly, Fang woke up, put sugar into her mouth, and then said with a smile: "sweet mouth things will grow sugarcane here in the future, and you will often eat them."
The little girl's mouth moved and her eyes lit up.
Fang Xing smiled, touched her head and said to Wang He, "give the village some cloth and... Leave some herbs for them."
