This is so beautiful, I'm covered

It was dark at night, but the main rudder of Tiankun was still brightly lit.

Thousands of gang members in Changchuan port stood in line, facing the direction of the main ship, and were counting the number of people.

In the main boat, Cao Yiqiu sat in the steaming tub with his eyes closed, resting his mind. Not far from him, Dou Xueyi was lying on the ground, holding a gang list in his hand.

Cao Yiqiu had just escaped from the prison, his body was covered with layers of dirt, and he sat in this bathtub for an hour.With the affairs of the gang still undecided, it is impossible for him to rest, and it is impossible for him to allow Dou Xueyi to get better.

"How much was crossed out?" Cao Yiqiu said leisurely.

Dou Xueyi rubbed his knee with one hand, flipped through the pages of the book with the other hand, and replied, "Two hundred and five."

"..." Cao Yiqiu's eyes suddenly opened.

Amidst the mist, his expression turned out to be very complicated, with the corners of his mouth down looking very angry, but the light in his eyes revealed that he was obviously very happy.

Dou Xueyi knelt in front of him for most of the day but still competed with him. This is what is interesting about Dou Xueyi himself.

"You really have a lot more courage." Cao Yiqiu said this sentence in a flat tone, and he couldn't understand his meaning just from the words.

"That's how I am," Dou Xueyi combined the roster in his hands, and said in a similarly nonchalant manner, "Or, what does the foster father want me to do?"

Cao Yiqiu asked him to draw a roster, which was the name of the members of the Tiankun gang who died today. Every time he crossed a line, a hole was opened in Dou Xueyi's heart, reminding him of the great crimes he had committed. mistake.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Every sacrificed gang member died under Cao Yiqiu's hands, and Cao Yiqiu should have died seven months ago.

Dou Xueyi regards it as his own fault.

"You were not like this when you were a child." Cao Yiqiu didn't seem to care about Dou Xueyi's confrontation, but continued on his own, "At that time, you didn't even dare to lift your head in front of me, and you left me for ten years , Now you can speak with a gun and a stick?"

"Min'er dare not." Dou Xueyi said.

"You don't dare," Cao Yiqiu finally got up from the bathtub, put on clothes unhurriedly, and said again, "When I was young, I was like a stuffy gourd, but as I grew up, my teeth became more and more eloquent, who is used to you? "

Seeing Cao Yiqiu walking towards him, Dou Xueyi couldn't suppress the trembling of his hands, so he could only shrink his hands back and hide them in his sleeves.

From the moment he met Cao Yiqiu, he never stopped being afraid, and all his indifferent expressions until now were all fake.

Cao Yiqiu had already walked in front of him, first glanced at him condescendingly, then squatted down, looked at his still red and swollen face, and said, "I shouldn't have sent you to Fan Yuelou. Raise, develop such a temperament that doesn't know what to expect."

"Father," Dou Xueyi said with a slightly hoarse voice, "I was not sent by you to be raised by Lao Fan."

Cao Yiqiu's eyebrows twitched slightly, he didn't like to hear these words.

Dou Xueyi's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists. He didn't look directly at Cao Yiqiu, but he could feel Cao Yiqiu's cold look. He knew that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't vomit.

"I climbed to Lao Fan's boat step by step, and begged him to save me," Dou Xueyi repeated as if deliberately emphasizing, "I begged him to save me."

Cao Yiqiu's icy gaze was instantly filled with more dangerous emotions, he moved closer to Dou Xueyi, and asked in a low voice, "Are you complaining?"

Dou Xueyi never raised his eyes to look at him, but asked instead: "Can't I complain?"

"I saved your life, adopted you as my son, and raised you for five years. What right do you have to complain?"

For so many years, Cao Yiqiu heard such a real complaint from Dou Xueyi for the first time. He has grown up to be a quail who is strong on the outside, no matter how calm he is at the moment, he should be afraid of him. Would not say such a stupid thing.

But Dou Xueyi was really beyond Cao Yiqiu's expectation, he lowered his head and snorted, and asked again: "Is there really no grudge between you and me?"

Cao Yiqiu took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Fifteen years ago, Cao Yiqiu and Fan Yuelou were framed by someone, and they filed a lawsuit against the Shangguan government, accusing them of colluding with pirates to rob merchant ships at sea.At that time, Fan and Cao were still well-behaved businessmen, and they cooperated with others to manage the business. The business grew bigger and bigger, and gradually began to trade by sea.

At that time, the maritime trade routes of the entire Wei Dynasty were in a prosperous period, and pirates rose accordingly, and merchants were always trembling when transporting ships.Fan and Cao are both young and energetic, relying on their martial arts skills, they often travel with the boat and do things by themselves.

Once, the two of them were transporting goods to a foreign land. They encountered pirates on the way, and after a dangerous fight, they walked back to the land area. Before disembarking, they were captured alive by the officials guarding the port.

It turned out that the partners in the cooperative business had the desire to embezzle property for private use, and gave the crew members a lot of benefits, and set up a trick together with everyone, charging them with crimes of lawlessness.The witnesses and physical evidence are all available, and they cannot be washed away.

Pirates are rampant, and the land government is very strong in cracking down on sea thieves. Such crimes will never be lightly forgiven. Of course, they were sentenced to death.

At the time of the execution, a couple slammed the government's grievance drum, claiming that they had witnessed everything on the ship, and Fan Cao was innocent.

This couple is Dou Xueyi's biological parents.

They are an ordinary fisherman in the southeast. When they went fishing, they encountered storms and waves. The small fishing boat was overturned and happened to encounter a passing cargo ship.Fan Yuelou heard the couple's cry for help on the deck, and immediately took the initiative to fish them up.

The kindness of life-saving should be repaid even in death, and the Dou couple rushed to the government, trying to clear the benefactor of the crime.

They succeeded.

Originally, since the government's order has been issued, there is no reason to take it back at will. Officials are also afraid of taking responsibility, and there are many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.But at that time, the Southeast Governor Pei Rui attached great importance to the case, immediately withdrew the order and announced a thorough investigation.

Fan Yuelou and Cao Yiqiu saved their lives and their innocence, but the fishing couple paid the price for it.

The chief culprit who framed Fan and Cao felt resentment in his heart, and he actually recorded his hatred on Dou's family. When he was wanted by the government, he jumped the wall and sneaked into Dou's house to take revenge.

Fortunately, Dou Min, a four-year-old child of the Dou family, escaped the catastrophe by going out to play.

That night, Fan and Cao split up and acted separately. One was so angry that he raised a knife and slashed and killed the wicked enemy in front of the government. The other found Dou Min and adopted him as a foster son.

The two really committed the murder case this time, so they settled down with their youngest son, Dou Min, and lived a two-year life of evading arrest and recruiting soldiers together, and finally fled to the sea and founded the fledgling Tiankun Gang.

The debt of affection between them and the Dou family is very complicated. It is hard to say who is the benefactor and who owes whom, but Dou Min was indeed picked up by Cao Yiqiu and raised by his side.

Cao Yiqiu's bad nature grew bigger and bigger during the days of floating on the sea, and his sense of justice was completely wiped out by the government's arrest and the suffering of starvation and fullness.Power is like a sharp sword, opening his tyrannical heart to others. Gradually, he becomes very scary.

The one who felt his changes most intuitively was the child named Dou Min.

Dou Min found that his adoptive father was very different from before, and this change only happened within half a year after the establishment of the gang.There is always a hint of insidiousness in the eyes of the foster father, and the foster father always shows a malicious look when he looks at others.

Five-year-old Dou Min really suffered from it, because Cao Yiqiu couldn't hold back his tyranny, so he began to abuse Dou Min.

The past is unbearable to look back on, Dou Xueyi's shoulder that was slapped severely by Cao Yiqiu during the day is still aching, his lips are also trembling, but he no longer hides his fear, but lets his voice tremble, Said, "You always think that Lao Fan robbed you of everything, this 'everything' does not include me?"

Cao Yiqiu seemed to have lost his patience, his panting was a bit rough.

In the first few years of Tian Kun's construction, Cao Yiqiu and Fan Yuelou each took charge of several rudder ports, and they seldom saw each other on weekdays.Under such a distance, Cao Yiqiu's growing ambition and greed were well concealed. He secretly competed with Fan Yuelou, dreaming that one day he would be able to monopolize Tiankun's power.

Until that day, the disobedient Dou Min sneaked out of his prison and slipped into Fan Yuelou's living boat.

Cao Yiqiu also didn't know what Dou Min said to Fan Yuelou, but Fan Yuelou came to him and said to him: "The Dou couple are kind to you and me, so Min'er will be entrusted to me for a few years. , let me do my best."

This was the first time Fan Yuelou snatched something from his hands.

That's right, Fan Yuelou snatched his adopted son away, and since he can snatch away his adopted son, he will snatch more from him in the future.Sure enough, the position of gang leader became Fan Yuelou's, and the hearts of the people also belonged to him.

Cao Yiqiu was stabbed in the heart by Dou Xueyi's words, a sullen feeling lingered in his heart for a while, suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Dou Xueyi's neck, forcing Dou Xueyi to look up at him.

"How much courage did you have to come here to question your father like this?" Cao Yiqiu didn't want to answer any questions, but continued, "Fan Yuelou has no ability to be your backer, see clearly who is kneeling on the soft bones under your knees, It's your old man!"

"Really?" Dou Xueyi blushed, and asked without knowing what it meant.

A gust of wind unexpectedly blew into the main ship, wrapped around the candle flames, and then brushed over the roster of gang members on the ground, causing the pages to flip several times.

It turned out that someone came in from the cabin door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Dou Xueyi said at the same time: "In the first two years when I lost my parents, you treated me really well, but the kindness of those two years was not enough to make up for everything later."

"Guild Master!" The gang members outside shouted as they walked.

Cao Yiqiu looked sideways at the door.

"Cao Yiqiu, you and I will break our friendship from now on." Dou Xueyi's neck was still held by Cao Yiqiu's hands, but he said such desperate words.

It's just that the gang members outside the door couldn't wait to shout: "The number of remaining gang members is wrong. The subordinates have brought the roster. Please have a look at the gang leader."

Cao Yiqiu's eyes suddenly landed on the gang list that was open on the floor.

A group of gang members died on Diaoyu Island, a group was detained in the southeast land area, Fan Yuelou took away a group, and the rest were those who stayed in the gang now and sent out to support Shulong during the day Two batches.

The number of helpers is wrong, what is wrong?

Cao Yiqiu was in a turmoil, suddenly tightened the fingers pinching Dou Xueyi, and said murderously: "How dare you lie to me?!"
