"What?" Dongfang Ying was shocked. She didn't expect that the three masters and servants would say such words. She hurriedly waved her hands and said:
"How is that possible? Miss Nangong, you are from a famous family. How can a lady, a daughter of a wealthy family, wander around the world with a reckless person like me?
"Besides, as the old saying goes, parents are not far away when they travel. You should serve your parents at home and be filial to your knees. "
Nangong Huiyue pursed her lips and said: "You don't have to worry about these reasons. Why can you be free in the world with a sword, but I can't?
"Besides, my mother has been dead for many years, my father is in his prime, and there are so many servants and servants. How can I serve?
"Anyway, you saved us. We have nothing to repay for the lives of these three people, so we can only follow you. You are our master.
"From now on, I will wash and cook for you, lead horses and whips, and serve you in your daily life."
Dongfang Ying was stunned and shook his head like a rattle:
"This is absolutely impossible! I saved you out of morality, not out of greed for repayment.
"What's more, you are a rich lady, and I am a girl from the mountains. How can I let you serve me? ?
"I have learned martial arts, and I can take care of myself enough, and I don't need these tricks.
"In short, this is impossible, I still have my own things to do, Without further ado, let’s just say goodbye. "
After finishing speaking, Dongfang Ying picked up her sword, took her white horse, got on the horse's back, and prepared to jump over the railing from the bow and jump off Boss Yuan's ferry.
"Don't leave! Nangong Huiyue was anxious, stepped forward and grabbed the horse's reins, and said with red eyes:
"If you abandon us, then the three of us will jump into the sea and drown."
"I, Nangong Huiyue, keep my word. If I had known this, you might as well not have saved us!"
Dongfang Ying really couldn't laugh or cry. How could this cause trouble? It’s not enough if we don’t let these three women follow us!
However, she looked at Nangong Huiyue's determined eyes and firm tone. Although they had not known each other for a short time, she had seen her fortitude and loyalty, and believed that she should be able to do it.
If that were the case, how could you bear it?
After thinking for a while, he jumped off the horse and advised earnestly:
"Miss Nangong, to tell you the truth, I have important matters to deal with when I go out across the mountains and seas. ,
"It's a long journey, and we may encounter many dangers and obstacles. You three don't know martial arts. If you follow me, your life will be in danger. Why bother?" "
Nangong Huiyue shook her head and said:
"I'm not afraid. I have experienced life and death twice. I don't care anymore.
"Xiaoyun Xiaoxia, are you scared?"
Xiaoyun and Xiaoxia said in unisonSaid:
"If the lady is not afraid, we will not be afraid! If we follow the heroine sister, we will not be afraid!"
Dongfang Ying sighed longly, frowned and said:
"Are you really determined to follow me? Not afraid? No regrets?"
The three women nodded in unison:
"Of course, not afraid, no regrets!"

Looking at their looks, Dongfang Ying knew that she could not persuade them for a while, and she did not want to get too entangled in this matter, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, I can I'm taking you with me, but I have something to say beforehand:
"Don't treat me as a master or a master, let's treat each other sincerely, as sisters;
" Along the way I don’t need you to serve me or anything, just take care of yourself;
“Also, if you regret and complain in the future, you can leave at any time. If you agree, you can follow me. "
Nangong Huiyue and the two girls looked at each other and smiled, and happily agreed.
When Boss Yuan saw the four girls talking, he waited patiently, and saw that they had all reached an agreement. , then said:

"Since Miss Nangong wants to follow, then Miss Dongfang doesn't need to transfer, we are still the same. Like, take your boat and go north to cross the sea together. "
Dongfang Ying thought for a moment. After all, there was still half a cargo of cargo on this ship. It would be a pity to abandon the ship, so she agreed with Boss Yuan.
Fortunately, another Guangzhou boat that had been following also threw a cable and tied it to the bow. It was much easier for two boats to pull one boat.
The three boats slowly formed a formation. Heading north, the northeast wind plowed out six straight waves
…………
Nangong Huiyue and Xiaoyun Xiaoxia were able to follow Dongfang Ying, and they felt very happy. It was comfortable and there was no feeling of separation, and Dongfang Ying was beside her, talking to her happily.
Of course, Dongfang Ying would not sit back and enjoy the success. She rocked the oar and listened to the three women's stories.
p>
Only then did Dongfang Ying learn from the three women the details of Nangong Huiyue and the Nangong family, as well as the grievances and resentments involved:
Nangong Huiyue was the wife of Nangong Xin, a merchant in Qiongzhou City. The eldest daughter is twenty years old. It has been eight years since her mother passed away. Nangong Xin's second wife still has a son named Nangong Qingyang, who is already sixteen years old.
Nangong Xin and Nangong. Huiyue's mother was married and had a deep relationship, so she cared more about her eldest daughter. She intended to leave part of the property to her and began to cultivate her business abilities.
She was just the second wife. However, he regarded her as a thorn in his side, fearing that she would compete with his son for the family property, so he secretly and openly tried to influence Nangong Xin'er and suppress Nangong Huiyue.
This time Nangong Company was ready.Going to Guangzhou to purchase a batch of goods for various stores to sell in the next quarter, Nangong Xin handed over this task to Nangong Huiyue for the first time. He made it clear that if it was handled well, she would be in charge of the drug store, gold and silver jewelry store and herbal tea business after returning to Guangzhou. .
Everything was going smoothly. Who would have thought that on the way back, pirates from Bailong Island suddenly appeared. They came well prepared and had a large number of people. One of the ships even carried The artillery.
In this way, not only did they suffer a loss in terms of resistance, but even if they wanted to escape, they were afraid of the threat of artillery fire and did not dare to make mistakes.
If Dongfang Ying hadn't arrived out of thin air and saved the day and defeated the pirates, not only would the cargo ship have been robbed, but many of their female relatives would have been caught in the bandit's lair and suffered unimaginable humiliation.
After designing with Dongfang Ying, I thought that the crisis was over, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and it was difficult to guard against domestic thieves.
Director Wang, whose father arranged for Nangong Huiyue to take care of each other, actually took away the goods without permission in the name of Nangong Xin. Not only could he claim credit in front of his father, but he could also take away the lost goods. Part of the responsibility for the goods falls on her.
Nangong Huiyue felt chilled by her father's secret instructions, thinking it was a distrust of her. At the same time, she was tired of the intrigues in the family.
Coupled with their gratitude to Dongfang Ying for rescuing her many times, the master and servant decided to leave the Nangong family and follow Dongfang Ying to wander the world, making their home all over the world.
After listening to the three women's narration, Dongfang Ying was filled with emotion and was also very angry at Director Wang's treachery and ruthlessness. She secretly thought that when she returned to Qiongzhou in the future, she would beat this guy up and replace her. Nangong Huiyue vented her anger.
Several ships sailed north for more than an hour, and two ships with upturned heads came towards them. The bows were covered with iron sheets, and a flag was carried on a tall flagpole, both of which read Douda's words "Guangdong Navy Leizhou Inspection Department".
When Boss Yuan saw it, he knew it was a government water patrol anti-smuggling boat. He quickly ordered the boatman to stop rowing, slow down the speed of the boat, walked to the stern of the boat and said to Dongfang Ying:
"Girl Dongfang "There are officers and soldiers patrolling ahead. I wonder if they are coming for us?"
Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue wondered secretly when they heard this, and responded to Boss Yuan:
"Uncle, don't worry. Miss Nangong and I will go and say hello to the officers and soldiers. We haven't committed any crime. Why are we afraid of what they will do?"
At the moment, Nangong Huiyue and I walked past In the cabin, when we reached the bow deck, we saw two patrol boats approaching the two ferries in front. Two flagmen on the bow waved flags to signal the ship to stop.
Boss Yuan and the other ferry have slowly stopped, dropped anchor, and been inspected by officers and soldiers.
Dongfang Ying also lowered the anchor to the side of the ship and waited to see what the officers and soldiers would do.
The hulls of the two patrol boats are not tall, and they are no bigger than the pirate ships that Dongfang Yingnan Gong Huiyue rides on.The boat was about the same size, but the bow was covered with iron sheets, and there were soldiers standing on both sides holding swords and guns, making it look majestic.
A soldier on the ship on the left was heard shouting:
"According to reports from the people, there are a large number of pirates committing crimes in the nearby waters. We are here to arrest them. Who are you?" Where are you going? Please come forward and answer the question."
Mr. Yuan stood at the bow and said with his fists in his hands: "Master Rong, this little man is the owner of this ship. , it is a legal ferry registered in Qiongzhou Haikou, with a complete public inspection certificate, and it is carrying passengers back and forth between Leiqiong Strait today."
The authenticity of the other ferry. The boss of the ship also quickly reported his name, explained his ship's nationality and the purpose of his trip.
The soldier glanced at several ships, pointed at the pirate ship on which Dongfang Ying's four daughters were riding, and asked:
"What is the origin of that ship behind? Report it quickly. Come on!"
