However, at this moment, the boat rope suddenly shrank upward. Zhang Hu jumped into the air, and the man also fell into the sea.

At this time, Zhang Hu was really panicked. As soon as he fell into the sea, he felt that there was water all around him, and he didn't know what to do. Although the boat was only a few feet away from him, in Zhang Hu's eyes, it seemed like it was far away.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and you can't get through them no matter what.

Zhang Hu panicked and slapped the water surface, but he couldn't stop his body from sinking. Fortunately, when he slapped and scratched randomly, he finally caught a piece of wood. At this time, Zhang Hu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and died.

Hold on to death.

What Zhang Hu grabbed was a boat oar, which was naturally extended to him by the sailor on the boat. But at this time, Zhang Hu was in the water and was in a panic. He just tried his best to pull the oar. The sailor was originally

He was just an ordinary sailor, so naturally he was not as strong as Zhang Hu. What's more, Zhang Hu was in a critical situation at this time and tried his best to pull. As a result, the sailor saw that the momentum was not right, so he had to release the oar with both hands and let Zhang Hu take it away.

Li Liuyi, who was on the side, couldn't help but panic when he saw Zhang Hu falling into the water. However, he did not dare to stand up, let alone go into the water to rescue Zhang Hu. The three of them were panicking, but the boat had already broken away in the wind and waves.

After landing on the big ship, Li Liu watched Yu Ren's ship go away gradually, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he heard the shouts and curses of his master Li Xianzhong.

Yu Ren's ship got rid of the entanglement of Li Xianzhong and his men and sailed towards the south.

Yu Ren and Cao An stayed on the deck until Li Xianzhong and his ship were far behind. Then they felt relieved. At this time, the boss of the ship had also returned to the deck. Yu Ren and Cao An then left

This was handed over to the boss of the ship, and the two of them returned to the cabin, ready to take a rest.

However, what Yu Ren and Yu Ren didn't expect was that before they could sit firmly in the cabin, the boat outside gradually slowed down. Finally, it stopped completely.

"What's going on? Why did the boat stop?" Yu Ren said. "Could it be that Li Xianzhong and the others are catching up again? Impossible! Even if they want to catch up, they can't be so fast!"

Cao An glanced at Yu Ren and said nothing, but the look on his face became serious. "Master, I'll go out and take a look."

Li Yu stopped Cao An again. "Let Ying'er go out! It seems that this time it may not be Li Xianzhong. With his ability, it is difficult to get the boss of the ship to stop the ship. I'm afraid there are other reasons. We must be locals after all. On the ground

If you are familiar with it, it will be easier to handle situations."

From the solemn look on Cao An's face, Yu Ren guessed that the trouble this time would be difficult to solve, but he didn't ask. He just secretly guessed in his heart: The pirates should be coming!

"No, it's too dangerous for Ying'er, a girl, to go out. Otherwise, we'll just wait in the cabin like this! Let's check the situation first."

When Yu Ren said this, he glanced at Li Yu and saw that Li Yu's expression was calm and calm, as if he had encountered a normal thing. After hearing Yu Ren's words, she just nodded lightly. Ying Ying

Er seemed a little touched by Yu Ren's concern.

At this time, Yu Ren heard the boat boss outside talking softly to another sailor. "What's wrong, Ah San. We were in a hurry this time and forgot to buy the flag. What should we do?"

When Ah San heard this, he couldn't help but become even more panicked. "No! Boss, why did you wait until now to say it? Zhong Liu is famous for his bad temper. If we don't get it right, we will collapse."

It's really bad." When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly curious. He didn't understand what the flag was and why the boss of the ship was so nervous because he didn't buy it.

And this Zhong Liu, it sounds like he should be the pirate leader.

"What command flag are they talking about?" Yu Ren asked Cao An in a low voice.

"I have heard of this. Didn't we also encounter it when we came by sea ship from Zhejiang last time? It's just that since you fell off the cliff last time, you have lost your memory and have forgotten all this.

"

Yu Ren nodded. "Then, tell me again!"

Cao An then said, "Last time we took a boat, I heard from the boss of the boat that there has been a phenomenon on their southeastern coast in recent years, that is, you must buy a flag to go to sea. This flag came from two big pirate leaders, one named Xu and the other

The surname is Li. As for the specific name, I don’t know. Just because the two characters Xu and Li are written on these two flags respectively, people call them Xu Ziqi and Li Ziqi.

Anyway, as long as you are sailing on the southeast coast, as long as you hold this Xu-character flag or Li-character flag, you can basically pass without hindrance. No matter what kind of pirates you encounter, you can basically guarantee that nothing will happen. Some pirates may get on the ship.

, they will charge some additional money. But they will definitely not do anything random, and people are safe. Because they have to sell the face of these two pirate leaders. But if there is no command flag, it will be troublesome."

"What trouble will there be?" Yu Ren asked.

"I can't say for sure. It depends on what kind of pirate you meet. And this Zhong Liu is said to be the most brutal pirate in this area. Not only does he love money, but he is also lustful. As long as he meets him without his flag,

Not only did the people on the ship have to pay a ransom, but sometimes, when there were beautiful women on the ship, he would choose a few beautiful ones to stay and take them to his island."

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Yu's master and servant worriedly. He held the sword that had been given to Li Yu in his hand again, and whispered to Li Yu, "The pirates will board the ship in a while. You two hide over there.

Under the bed. I'll help you block it with something. Cao An and I will handle everything outside. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't come out."

Li Yu looked at Yu Ren with a smile, without nodding or shaking his head.

The little girl Ying'er on the side seemed to be about to speak again, but was stopped by Li Yu.

Several people were discussing the response in a low voice in the cabin when they heard a man's rough voice coming from outside. "Captain, ask your people to pack up quickly and line up on the deck in a while. Our boss will personally do it in a while."

Board the ship for inspection.”

Yu Ren quietly looked up through the gap in the deck. He saw a man in his thirties who had boarded the deck with a ghost-headed sword in his hand. The man looked rough and had a long slit on his face.

Scar. He stood majestically on the deck, giving orders to the boss of the ship, as if he was ordering a servant of his own family.

Through the gap, Yu Ren could see another ship parked next to their ship. That should be a pirate ship. However, there were not many people on the pirate ship at this time. There were only four or five pirates standing with weapons in their hands.

On the deck, the only person who came to Yu Ren's ship was the man with the ghost head sword. Seeing all this, Yu Ren felt a little relieved.

He was thinking in his mind. If the pirates were just the few people in front of him, then they didn't need to worry too much. I believe that he and Cao An should be able to deal with them as long as they deal with them well.

Just when Yu Ren was making his own calculations, the captain of the ship had already walked up to the scar-faced man with a flattering look on his face, holding an ingot of fifty taels of silver in his hand.

"This leader, we have always been abiding by the rules. Every time we go out to sea, we have to buy a flag. But this time we came out in a hurry and didn't arrive in time. The villain's ship was full of guests, and he didn't

There are so many goods, it is really a small business. I will ask you, old man, to help us put in a few nice words in front of Master Zhong."

The pirate stretched out his hand to take the silver, and the expression on his face became a little better. Then he said to the boss of the ship, "Don't worry! Our boss will be here soon. I will tell him."

The captain of the ship stood aside respectfully, not daring to speak anymore.

Everyone waited for a while, and then saw another ship approaching. Then one after another, there were seven or eight sea ships. Yu Ren looked out from the cabin and saw these ships.

, and several ships were equipped with cannons, and he couldn't help but feel cold. Only then did he realize that he was still too optimistic and underestimated the pirates of this era.

Seeing this posture, Yu Ren knew that there was no chance of resisting. He quickly urged Li Yu and his servants, "You should go and hide under the bed quickly! The pirates have officially boarded the ship."

But Li Yu sat next to Yu Ren, stretched out his head and took a look outside. Then he said to Yu Ren calmly, "Don't worry! Zhong Liu will definitely let his men search his cabin first, and then they will come to us."

"

"Why?" Yu Ren asked puzzledly.

"Because ours is a VIP cabin. According to Zhong Liu's habit, he will definitely search other ordinary cabins first. After all the ordinary cabins have been searched, he will come to our place. He likes to save the good things for last." Li
