After saying that, Yu Ren jumped down from the table. He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. Now that everyone understood what he was thinking, he no longer had to be secretive. This was good, and Li Ying didn't have to be like the first one.

He was so evasive at times, but deliberately avoided himself.

This banquet lasted until the moon was almost at the zenith, and then they dispersed. Yu Ren was also drunk, and he didn't even know how to get back.

When Yu Ren woke up, he saw that he was lying on a comfortable big bed. Yu Ren looked around and saw that the room was very large and the walls were very warmly decorated. It looked like a girl's embroidery room.

Beside the window sill, Li Ying was sitting on a brocade stool, holding a piece of embroidery in her hand and working hard. In front of her, there was another exquisite piece of embroidery that had been embroidered, with two lifelike mandarin ducks embroidered on it.

Li Ying's movements were clumsy, and she looked like a complete novice. Obviously, she rarely did such needlework, and Yu Ren also believed that given her position and personality, she would not like to do such a thing. But now,

But she was trying hard to imitate the piece of embroidered cloth in front of her.

Yu Ren was a little puzzled. He didn't know that Li Ying was because he heard an elder sister-in-law on the island accidentally mentioned last night that men like gentle women. If a woman can't even do a simple job like embroidery,

, then it would definitely not be able to capture the heart of a man. So, Li Ying, a young lady who had never held an embroidery needle since she was a child, began her difficult study because she wanted to capture the heart of the man in front of her.

Yu Ren was lost in thought when a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Miss, miss."

When Li Ying was distracted, the needle in her hand was pricked on the wrong side. A needle was pricked on her finger immediately, and blood came out. Li Ying just frowned slightly, stood up, and looked back at Yu.

Benevolence.

Yu Ren quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He didn't want to get up yet. Just lying like this, quietly looking at his sweetheart in the dark, Yu Ren felt that this was the greatest enjoyment in his life. He didn't want to break this

atmosphere of.

Li Ying turned around and glanced at Yu Ren. Seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, she hurriedly made a quiet gesture. "Shh! Keep your voice down. He's not awake yet, so don't disturb him."

When Ying'er saw the eldest lady holding the piece of embroidered cloth she asked for last night and imitating it hard, she couldn't help but sighed. "Miss, why are you doing this? You have so many important things to do.

For such simple things, just leave it to Ying'er. Whatever you want to embroider, just tell Ying'er to embroider it, why bother doing it yourself!"

Li Ying glanced at Yu Ren again, and then said casually, "No! Although needlework is simple, it is the basic skill of being a woman! Of course I can leave the needlework to you, but I can't do it for him.

Leave it to you!" As she said that, Li Ying cooed at Yu Ren who was lying on the bed.

"Our Ying'er is such a smart and beautiful person. If I hand him over to you, I'm afraid he will forget all about me within a few days."

Ying'er blushed after hearing this, "Who cares about him anymore? You treat him like a treasure, but I don't like him."

When Li Ying saw that Ying'er was shy, she stopped talking. Li Ying had no sisters, so she had been with Ying'er since she was a child. In her heart, she always treated Ying'er as her own sister. Therefore, the relationship between the two was very difficult.

It's so close, even if it's a joke like this, it doesn't matter.

"By the way, you came to me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Ying'er then stamped her foot and said hurriedly, "Looking at your interruption, I almost forgot about the main thing. Jiang Jiulang and the others are back."

When Li Ying heard this, she was immediately furious. She threw away the white cloth in her hand that had not been embroidered with a few stitches, and hurried out, cursing incessantly, "How dare this guy come back.

That’s fine, let’s arrest them all first and then interrogate them carefully.”

Ying'er, who was following behind, shook her head secretly. This was her young lady, and she was not cut out for such a delicate job. How long had she been gentle for so long? Then her true colors were revealed immediately!

When Yu Ren heard that Jiang Jiulang was back, he stopped pretending to be asleep. He quickly got up from the bed and followed Li Ying, the master and the servant, towards the dock.

By the time Yu Ren arrived at the dock, Li Ying had already arrived, as well as many Li family troops who had arrived before him. The nine warships originally brought out by Jiang Jiulang were all neatly parked at the port. Everyone on board had disembarked.

As soon as Li Ying arrived at the dock, she immediately ordered the leaders of the nine ships to be arrested first.

The nine leaders did not resist. When they followed Jiang Jiulang's words and arrived at Chenqian Island last night, and saw that it had already been occupied by Li Qiang and others, they knew they had made a big mistake.

Liu Qiang scolded Jiang Jiulang on the spot, but since Liu Qiang's status and position in the Li family were not as high as Jiang Jiulang's, even though he was not angry at his breach of contract, he could not do anything to him.

However, after these nine leaders heard about Liu Qiang and Yu Ren's thrilling capture of Chenqian Island the night before, they all knew that they would inevitably be punished if they returned.

Not arriving at Chen Qian Island at the time promised by the eldest lady in advance and delaying the flight. What a big deal! It doesn’t matter what the eldest lady wants to do to herself. All nine of them are old people from the Li family.

, has been following Li Dan since Dongyang, and can be said to be absolutely loyal to the Li family. In their hearts, the Li family is their own home.

Therefore, although they knew that there would be no good results if they went back, they still insisted on rushing to the Daqushan headquarters at starry night.

"Where is Jiang Jiulang?" Seeing that Jiang Jiulang was not seen, Li Ying asked one of the leaders.

"I don't know. Did we see him when we docked just now?"

At this time, a man who had just got off the boat said, "I just saw Leader Jiang sailing a small boat to the southwest alone."

Li Ying snorted coldly. "I want to run away! Xiao Liu, you go and take twenty people and drive a speedboat to chase him. I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die."

A tall and slim young man of seventeen or eighteen years old standing nearby agreed, and then led twenty brothers to board the ship to chase Jiang Jiulang.

Li Ying then asked people to bring these nine leaders to her meeting hall in Daqu Mountain. This meeting hall was much larger than the one in Wentao Yuan. Because Daqu Island is very big, nearly a hundred miles long and 100 miles wide.

It is dozens of miles away, almost the size of a county. However, there are very few residents on the island. In the east where Li Ying and her family have their roots, there are only two villages with more than a hundred fishermen.

This island is very close to Hangzhou Bay. You can reach Zhoushan by sea only a few dozen miles to the southwest, and Ningbo Prefecture is a few dozen miles to the west. Therefore, it is very convenient. Because the Ming Dynasty did not set up a government office on this island.

Naturally, no one will take care of it.

Li Ying then took a group of people and regarded this as their headquarters in Zhejiang. Although the two imperial guards were located on Zhoushan Island dozens of miles away, Li Ying was not worried at all. Once they arrived,

It's because the Li family have always been engaged in business, farming, and fishing, and have never engaged in robbery; secondly, even if the court sends troops, they are not afraid, because they have also built forts on the island, and they

The strength is far stronger than these two guards.

The nine leaders were brought to the meeting hall, with Li Ying sitting in the middle and Ying'er standing next to her. Yu Ren also came at this time, but he did not come out and just stood below with the other brothers.

Li Ying sat on her seat and her face sank. "Uncle Xiao Qi, you are all old men of our Li family. This delayed the opportunity to fight, so that the brothers who ventured to the island were almost killed by Zhong Laosan's men.

, you yourselves should know how serious this sin is!

But, I just can’t figure it out, why? Why do you do this?”

Seeing the eldest lady calling his name, among the nine leaders, a tall and middle-aged man in his fifties stood up.

When he heard that Li Ying called him Uncle Xiao Jiu, the old man's worries were immediately relieved. He quickly replied to Li Ying: "Miss, we were all deceived by that boy Jiang Jiulang.

At that time, we originally went to Chen Qianshan at the time we agreed in advance. However, not long after the fleet set off, a fast boat came. The person who came was one of Jiang Jiulang's men, and he handed it over to Jiang Jiulang.

Jiulang left after writing a letter.

After Jiang Jiulang received the letter, he told us that it was the latest order from the eldest lady, saying that the overall operation was postponed for one day, so that we must not push closer to Chen Qian Island too early to avoid being discovered by Zhong Laosan. So.

, not long after we set off that day, we temporarily stopped on a desert island halfway."

Li Ying's face turned red with anger. "You are all old men who have followed my father for many years. Although Jiang Jiulang is your leader, I gave the order to attack Chen Qian Island. Don't you think about it with your brains?"

, how could I let you change the time for such an important matter?"

"Jiang Jiulang told us at that time that it was because our ball had a temporary problem and needed to be repaired. He also showed us the letter sent by that person. So, we believed it."
