Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Ji Hai hurried to open the door, his hands shaking the latch, and it took him a while to open the door.

Xiao Yu never expected that Ji Hai's elder brother would come back at this time. Could it be that pirates attacked Zhoucheng tonight, not bandits?

For safety's sake, Pei Linzhi didn't light a torch, and it was pitch black outside.

In the darkness, Xiao Yu vaguely saw Ji Hai rushing out, and was tripped by the threshold, almost fell down, but he reacted quickly and quickly supported the door frame.

When the two brothers met, they hugged each other and cried.

Pei Linzhi said: "Don't cry outside, it's not safe, go inside quickly."

Xiao Yu hurriedly grabbed him and asked about the situation: "Rin Zhi, what's going on?"

Pei Linzhi then told him what had happened. It turned out that when Lin Haisheng came to report to him, he had already captured Jishan.It is not appropriate to say that it was arrested. At that time, Lin Haisheng and his companions were patrolling in the village. When they passed the ruins of Ji Hai's house, they met Ji Shan who was in a hurry to face his collapsed house.Everyone knows that Jishan has become a pirate, but they are also playmates who have played since they were young, and they are not afraid, so they go up to greet Jishan.

Ji Shan asked about the whereabouts of his mother and younger siblings, and Haisheng told him that his mother was gone and his younger siblings were taken in.When Ji Shan was sad, he said he was going to see his younger siblings, but Haisheng didn't dare to decide, so he took Ji Shan to Li Zheng's house, and Li Zheng asked him to come to Pei Linzhi.

The highly respected Li is the head of a village. He knows that Jishan should be sent to the government, but he also knows that Jishan is a forced pirate, and he is full of sympathy for him, and he is not willing to send him to the government, because it would be a There is only one dead end.So he asked Pei Linzhi to come, in fact, he wanted Pei Linzhi and Xiao Yu to deal with this matter.After questioning Ji Shan, Pei Linzhi decided to bring him home.

After entering the room, the two brothers continued to hug each other and cry.

Xiao Yu said to Pei Linzhi: "Rinzhi, light the candles."

Pei Linzhi understood, and went to the stove to get pine needles to light the fire.

Ji Hai wiped away his tears and took his brother's hand: "Brother, not long after you left, mother was killed by the government. Our house was also blown down by the hurricane, thanks to Mr. Yu'er and I, without them, Yu'er and I might freeze to death."

"It's the government again! I swear against the government!" Ji Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for taking in his younger brother and younger sister. It's a great kindness. Ji Shan will definitely repay it in the future."

In the darkness, Xiao Yu only heard a "plop", and then there was another "boom, dong, dong" kowtow, and he quickly said: "If you can't do it, you don't have to do such a big ceremony, Jishan, get up quickly. I I left Ji Hai and Yu'er at home, and they helped me a lot, it's not that I feed them for nothing, they all eat on their own."

Ji Shan said: "Your Majesty's kindness, Ji Shan will remember it in his heart. If there is any order in the future, Ji Shan will definitely go through fire and water, and he will die!"

Xiao Yu told Ji Hai: "Ji Hai, go ask Yu'er to meet your elder brother."

Ji Hai hurriedly turned around and went to the next door to call his sister. Yu'er, who had just woken up, almost exclaimed when he heard the elder brother come back, but Ji Hai covered his mouth: "Don't scream, put on your clothes and come out, the elder brother is in the gentleman's room."

Yu'er came over in the dark, and when he was still at the door, he hurriedly called out: "Brother, brother!"

"Yu'er!" Ji Shan followed the sound to meet him, hugged his sister, and the tears that had just stopped came down again, "Sister, brother is back to see you."

Yu'er hugged his elder brother, weeping uncontrollably.

At this time, Pei Linzhi came over holding a suet candle and protecting the firelight with one hand.

This winter, Pei Linzhi hunted a lot of goats and obtained a lot of suet, but suet oil was not delicious for cooking, so Xiao Yu made them into candles to replace oil lamps, because the coconut oil would solidify when it was cold , inconvenient to ignite.The light of a candle is much larger than that of an oil lamp, and the light is brighter.

At night like this, turning on lights was a big taboo, but bamboo curtains were installed on the front and rear windows of Xiao Yu's house to avoid the wind, which happened to be able to block the light.The three brothers and sister Ji Hai haven't seen each other for a long time, so they can't just listen to each other in the dark, at least they have to see each other's appearance.

As soon as the candlelight came on, the three brothers and sisters Ji Hai saw each other clearly.Ji Shan couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw his siblings who had grown up a lot and taller. The younger siblings looked good, but Yu'er was fatter than he remembered, and the clothes on both of them were also new. They are very nice.

Xiao Yu also saw Ji Shan's appearance clearly, tall and thin, with dark skin, except for his eyes, he didn't look much like Ji Hai, but more like Yu'er, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, quite heroic.

Ji Hai was the first to recover, and introduced to his elder brother: "Brother, this is Xiao Langjun, and next to him is my master Pei Langjun."

Pei Linzhi Jishan had already seen him at Li Zheng's house, and when he looked at Xiao Yu intently, he felt dazzled.Xiao Yu just got up from the bed, his hair was disheveled and disheveled, but it could not conceal his heavenly appearance at all, and he was extravagant. Although the corner of his mouth was smiling, there was a kind of sacred and inviolable holiness and majesty.

Ji Shan has never seen such a good-looking person in his life. He has the urge to kneel down again. It is a blessing in misfortune that his younger brother and sister are taken in by this banished fairy.

Ji Shan led his younger brothers and sisters to Xiao Yu, cupped his hands and bowed deeply to him: "Ji Shan pays homage to Mr. Lang, a man of righteousness. Thank you Mr. Lang for taking care of his brothers and sisters. Ji Shan will repay you in the next life Sir."

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, it's easy for me. You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, do you want to catch up alone?"

Ji Shan originally wanted to come back to see his mother and younger siblings, and send some money back, but when he heard that his mother had passed away, he thought that no matter what, he would take his younger siblings to go to sea with him, but now seeing them and Xiao Yu, he completely gave up the idea , there is no better place for younger brothers and sisters to live than here.

Jishan raised his hand to touch the heads of his younger siblings, and said: "When I learned that my mother passed away and the house collapsed, I was still worried that my younger siblings would not have enough food and clothing. I originally wanted to take them away. I didn't expect Mr. Lang to help I have taken good care of them, so I have nothing to worry about. Xiaohai, Yuer, you should follow Mr. Lang from now on. I will visit you when I have time. Mr. Hardworking continue to take care of my younger siblings. This is what I saved Please accept some money." He took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yu with both hands.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "There is no need to give money, they just add two mouths to me, and it doesn't cost anything. Besides, Ji Hai and Yu'er are very capable, they have done a lot of things for me, and they are not free. "

Yu'er pulled the elder brother's sleeve and said: "Elder brother, Mr. Lang and Mr. Pei Lang are very kind to us. They make us new clothes, buy new shoes for us, and teach us how to read and count. The second brother also learns martial arts from Mr. Pei Lang. .”

When Ji Shan heard this, his eyes inevitably became a little complicated. It is normal to take in younger siblings and give them food and clothing, but it is too unreasonable to teach them reading and martial arts.Ji Shan raised his eyes again to look at Xiao Yu, who is he, and why is he so kind to his younger siblings? Could it be that he has other plans?He encountered ups and downs, and it was inevitable that he would think about human nature in a more complicated way.

Seeing the other party's eyes, Pei Linzhi couldn't help frowning, and his eyes became sharper.

Li Zheng, who came with him, said, "Xiao Langjun and Pei Langjun are really reincarnated saints. They not only teach your younger siblings to learn literature and martial arts, but the children in our village are also learning literature and martial arts from them."

Lin Haisheng said: "Yes, we are also learning. Some time ago bandits came to the village, burned the house of Uncle Xingyi's house, and broke his Dalang's legs. Mr. Pei Lang helped us drive away the bandits, and returned to the village. Teach us how to practice martial arts, let us patrol at night to prevent bandits from attacking again, that's why we met you, hehe."

Wu Jia Erlang, who had been huddled in the corner, said: "My house burned down. The two gentlemen took our family in and paid for my elder brother's medical treatment."

When Ji Shan heard this, he realized that he was a villain at heart. It seemed that Xiao Langjun was really a god who came down to save the suffering, and he bowed deeply again: "Lang Jun is a saint!"

Xiao Yu ordered: "Erlang, go and move some stools for everyone to sit on. I have something to say to Ji Shan."

Wu Jiaerlang hurried to carry the bench.

Xiao Yu sat down by the bed, and Pei Linzhi sat beside him.

Xiao Yu said: "It has only been half a year since we moved to the village. Brother Jishan didn't know us. My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Yu. This is my close friend Pei Linzhi. We came from Beijing. I have some questions that I would like to discuss with Brother Jishan. .”

At the beginning, Ji Shan guessed that they were people who were exiled here like Meng Hong, but he heard that they came from Beijing. There was no tattoo on their faces, so they should not be criminals, and they lived in the old house of the former county magistrate. Could it be that they are new Officials coming?

Ji Shan's eyes turned cold: "The two gentlemen are imperial court officials?"

Xiao Yu laughed: "No, my family has some family backgrounds in Beijing, but there are too many brothers, too many fights, and they were framed and sent to Yazhou. It has nothing to do with the court."

Ji Shan was dubious: "What does Lang Jun want to know?"

Xiao Yu said: "I won't beat around the bush anymore, just tell me directly, are the pirates attacking Yazhou city tonight?"

Ji Shan hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "Yes."

"How many of you are there?"

Jishan began to struggle again, to say or not to say?Having said that, he betrayed his accomplice, let alone, he felt sorry for Xiao Yu, after all, he was helping himself to take care of his younger siblings.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "I understand your concerns. Most of you are forced to be helpless as pirates, and you hate the government deeply. But when you fight against the government, the victims are often innocent people."

Ji Shan said: "Our king has said that we will not harm the innocent. We only kill those dog officials who oppress the people."

Xiao Yu smiled: "You can restrain yourself, but can you restrain your companions from killing or robbing?"

Ji Shan was speechless. Indeed, he knew that some brothers were eager to make a fortune to make up for the loss of not being able to sleep peacefully during the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Yu continued: "Let's not talk about whether you can win or not. Even if you win, what are you going to do? Replace the government and occupy the island as king in Yazhou?"

Ji Shan didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although they called the leader the king, they never thought of replacing the government and becoming king in Yazhou.

Xiao Yu said again: "Then tell me, what do you usually do for a living? Fishing or farming? Are you self-sufficient in food and clothing?"

Ji Shan shook his head and lowered his eyes: "No, they are all robbing government offices or passing merchant ships." Sometimes they even rob villages, just try not to kill people.

Xiao Yu spread his hands: "So you see, you pirates are essentially not productive, you live by plundering others, and you don't care about other people's lives, is it better than the government you hate?"

Jishan's face changed several times when he was told.

Xiao Yu asked, "How many boats do you have? How many people can the biggest boat carry?"

Jishan said: "There are more than twenty boats, and the largest king boat can carry hundreds of people."

Xiao Yu was so excited that his voice was raised: "Such a big boat?!" This was completely beyond his expectation. With such a big boat, it would not be a problem at all to go around the southeast peninsula.

Seeing that he was so excited, Pei Linzhi couldn't help staring at him closely.

"How long is that boat?" If it wasn't dark, Xiao Yu would have wanted to go to the beach to see what the big boat looked like.

Jishan said: "It is about ten feet long and two feet wide."

Xiao Yu thought for a while, one zhang equals three meters three, more than ten zhang, that means the boat is at least 30 meters long, which is really big enough, no wonder the ancient Maritime Silk Road emerged so early.Xiao Yu couldn't contain his excitement because he was so close to the Maritime Silk Road.But he quickly calmed down again, no, this matter has to be carefully planned, the boat is not his own.

"How did you get your royal ship? Did you build it yourself?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Our king got it from a group of merchants from Wu."

That's what was stolen.Xiao Yu asked again: "How big are the other boats?"

"There are four boats that are smaller than the king's boat, and they can carry hundreds of people. The rest are small fishing boats. Most of them are our usual fishing boats, and there are even smaller boats." Ji Shan He didn't hide anything, and told all the information he knew.

According to the size of the ship, Xiao Yu estimated the number of pirates. There were at least a few hundred, or even thousands of pirates.He and Pei Linzhi looked at each other, it seemed that Xue Zhao was not doing well this time.

Xiao Yu changed the subject: "Ji Shan, let me ask you, are you going to be a pirate for the rest of your life?"
