Soon after the rice warship sailed out of the Pearl River Estuary along the current, a southwesterly wind blew, and the sails were full. They sailed rapidly eastward with the wind and entered the Huidong Sea after dark.
Although the boatmen are familiar with the water in this area and have rich sailing experience, they dare not drive fast at night. When the big sail is lowered, only the small sail is left to drive and move forward slowly. .
After dinner in the kitchen in the forward cabin, Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue were chatting and whispering in the sea breeze on the deck, when they suddenly heard someone arguing below.
She originally thought it was a small quarrel between the pacesetters, but after listening for a moment, Dongfang Ying realized that it was not the voices of the pacesetters, but the voices of the four Shi Dajiang brothers.
This made her deeply surprised. She quickly took Nangong Huiyue's little hand and walked down the middle staircase to the bottom cabin to go to Shi Dajiang's room to see what was going on.
As he approached the room, he heard Lin Xiaofeng say loudly:
"Shi Dajiang, don't think I'm afraid of you. The worst we can do is have another fight! There was no winner last time. "Whoever loses this time will jump into the sea. Do you dare?"
Shi Dajiang said angrily:
"Whoever dares is the grandson! Let's go up there!" Go fight..."
Dongfang Ying was angry and surprised when she heard this. The four brothers had always been in harmony and had a harmonious relationship. What happened now? The brothers turned against each other and started fighting in the nest?
She let go of Nangong Huiyue's hand and pushed open the door. Just as she saw the four brothers put on short coats and were about to open the door, she saw Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue standing at the door. The four of them were stunned.
Dongfang Ying asked with a pretty face:
"You guys are so good, even your brothers have to fight! Why on earth?"
Four people They all looked at each other and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Dongfang Ying said coldly:
"If you don't make it clear, then stop following us, and we will let you go when we reach the shore.
"When the time comes, you can fight however you want, and I will be out of sight and out of mind. "
Shi Dajiang hurriedly begged:
"No, Heroine... Dongfang, Dongfang, we... we will never fight again, please don't drive us away... …"
The other three people also begged Dongfang Ying not to be angry and spare them for once.
Nangong Huiyue usually seemed quite honest and hard-working when meeting these four young men; With a sincere attitude, he pleaded with Dongfang Ying on their behalf:
"Ying'er, you see they have admitted their mistake, so don't be so cruel to them and forgive them once, okay? "
Dongfang Ying's face softened slightly, and she said in a soft tone:
"That's okay, as long as you promise to love each other and have loyalty as the most important thing between brothers in the future, and never fight again. If you quarrel and fight, then I will forgive you. "
Shi Dachuan and Lin Xiaoshan hurriedly nodded in agreement. Shi Dajiang and Lin Xiaofeng looked at each other, nodded reluctantly, and said hello softly.
Dongfang Yingdai raised her eyebrows slightly, changed the subject, and said:
"I will spare you this time and won't punish you, but what about the last time? I didn't say Don't care about the last time."
Shi Dajiang and the others were stunned for a moment, and Lin Xiaofeng muttered:
"Last time... what... what last time..."
Dongfang Ying glared at him fiercely:
"You still dare to pretend to be stupid with me? Didn't you just shout that there was no winner last time?
"You called me truthfully, when was the last time? Why fight? It’s okay not to make it clear. "
Lin Xiaofeng trembled all over, lowering his head and not daring to look at Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying thought about it, and it seemed that there was no need to use any powerful means to defeat these stinky people. The guy refused to tell the truth, so she said viciously:
"At noon, I saw some bruises on your faces and asked you what happened. You said they were bruised after falling down. Really?" Do you think I will believe it?
"Tell me, was it caused by a fight last night?
"I will give you a chance. Whoever speaks first, I will reward him with an agate bracelet.
"I will hang the other three on the stern of the boat with ropes and soak them in the sea water all night."
The four of them were startled, and they all shouted "Ah". At that time, the three girls Lu Qiuying and even Gan Taoxian and Madam Liao heard the noise and ran out of the room to spy in the corridor.
Shi Dajiang suddenly knelt down and said to Dongfang Ying:
"Dongfang, I said... But I have two requests. Can you please agree?"
Dongfang Ying nodded and said:
"Okay, what two requests do you have?"
Shi Dajiang said:
"One is that I be truthful After telling the whole story, I don’t want any agate bracelets, I just hope that the other three people will not be punished;
“Secondly, I hope that I can talk about this in a place where no one is on the deck, don’t let Too many people know. "
Dongfang Ying thought for a while and glanced at the many women in the aisle. It seemed that these guys still wanted to save face, and they were relatively loyal to each other. They did not hate each other. She Not wanting to hurt their self-esteem too much, they readily agreed.
Seeing that Dongfang Ying and Shi Dajiang wanted to go up to the deck to talk alone, Lin Xiaofeng and Nangong Huiyue both said that they would also be there. Listen,
Nangong Huiyue was concerned about Dongfang Ying, but Lin Xiaofeng said that she was worried that Shi Dajiang would make up nonsense and say bad things about their two brothers in front of Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying secretly laughed, so she might as wellLet him follow him up to the deck and listen.
The deck is very spacious, surrounded by parapets. There are masts and a cannon at the bow, rudder and stern. There are also two cannons on each side of the ship. In the middle is the mast base and the way to the bottom cabin. The staircase is covered with a roof with four pillars and four corners.

In addition, it is an open-air deck with no obstruction.
At this moment, there is a triangular dragon flag and a lantern hanging on the bow flagpole. Two sailors stand under the flagpole looking ahead. There are also five or six lanterns hanging on both sides of the deck. There is a helmsman at the stern of the ship, concentrating on it. At the tiller.
Dongfang Ying brought Shi Dajiang to the gun mount on the left side of the deck, looked at him and said:
"There are only four of us here, and the three boatmen are far apart. If you can't hear me, you can tell me."
Shi Dajiang glanced at Nangong Huiyue and Lin Xiaofeng, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Then I will tell the truth. I've told you, Eastern Heroine, don't be angry after hearing this from Miss Nangong.
"Last night, with the money you gave us, we went to the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant in the city for a big meal. After three rounds of drinking, Xiaoshan suggested that I haven’t had that pastime for a long time, and now that I’m not short of money, I might as well go to a brothel to have fun..."
Shi Dajiang said bravely. When Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue came out, they looked at Dongfang Ying with a little shame and timidity, and were afraid of her scolding. After hearing this, Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue were naturally embarrassed, but they were also embarrassed to scold Nangong Hui. Yue blushed slightly and pretended to be calm with her face facing the sea.
Dongfang Ying rolled her eyes at the two young men and said with a smile:
"You are really promising!" Then he said, why did they start fighting later? "
Shi Dajiang cleared his throat and continued:
"That's it. Later we went to a brothel called 'Yuhuchun', and Xiaoshan and Dachuan ordered their own. There was a Hua Niang, but Xiaofeng and I didn’t order Hua Niang’s brand, we just ordered a table of side dishes and started eating and drinking.
"The two of us drank two more drinks and started chatting. Later, Xiaofeng asked me why I came to the brothel but didn't want a girl to accompany me? I would rather drink in the room. What kind of problem is this? Wrong ride?
"I asked him, aren't you the same and you still have the nerve to make fun of me?
"Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofeng said that he didn't like other women because he liked a girl. He came here just because he didn't want to spoil the fun of his brothers.
"As soon as I heard it, I said, it turns out that we have the same idea, we are indeed brothers of the same mind, and we will not go home until we get drunk tonight. "
When Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue heard this, they couldn't help but look at the two of them with admiration, but they were also curious about which girl they both fell in love with.
Dongfang Ying did not ask this question directly, she just saidSaid:
"Isn't this... very good? You fall in love with a woman from a good family and treat her like a jade... Hehe, stick to your principles, how rare this is!
"But since we are like-minded, why did it turn into a fight later? Go on. "
Shi Dajiang smiled bitterly and said slowly:
"Maybe he told the truth after drinking. It didn't take long for the two of us to give in to the... girl we liked. I let it slip, and I realized then that it was actually... the same person..."
As he spoke, he buried his head in his chest, his voice low and inaudible.
"Ah , such a coincidence! ”
Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue were both shocked, secretly feeling incredible, and at the same time wondering in their minds, which girl did they both fall in love with?
They thought Don't you know? Is it one of the Lu Qiuying sisters?
Dongfang Ying calmed down and asked:
"Just because you like the same person?" Girls, are you going to fight now? As for that? "
Shi Dajiang didn't say anything. Lin Xiaofeng secretly glanced at Dongfang Ying and said cautiously:
"I...I just think she is the...most, most... Noble...the most holy...fairy, who is Shi Dajiang? How can you have the right to like him?
"I scolded him because the toad wanted to eat swan meat. Unexpectedly, Shi Dajiang also scolded me for not looking in the mirror. Zhu Bajie also wanted to offend Chang'e and make people laugh...
< p> "Neither of us was convinced by the other, and the more we talked, the more excited we became, and finally... we started to take action... Then Xiaoshan and Dachuan also heard the news and rushed over, and slowly they changed from fighting to joining the fight..."Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue felt funny and angry after hearing this. Dongfang Ying pointed her finger at their foreheads and said angrily:
"You are really capable, for one Girls and brothers don’t do it anymore? I'm a little curious, what kind of magic does this girl have that can make you two fascinated?
"Does she know that you both like her? Can you tell us who she is?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Dajiang and Lin Xiaofeng said in unison:
< p> "No, you can't say that!"Nangong Huiyue said strangely:
"Why can't you say it? This is not something shameful. Could it be that she told her Can I still eat you two? Don't worry, sister Ying'er will make the decision for you two."
But Shi Dajiang and Lin Xiaofeng had a sad face and waved their hands:
p>
"I can't say I can't! Otherwise the two of us, no, the four of us, will have to pack up and leave!"
Dongfang Ying and Nangong Huiyue became even more worried when they saw that they were like this. I got curious and decided to use both soft and hard tactics to force them to tell me about the girl.Name,
Dongfang Ying immediately said with a tigerish face:
"You are afraid that she will let you pack up and leave, aren't you afraid that I will also let you pack up and leave?
"As I said before, we must tell the truth about the whole thing. She is the culprit that caused your brothers to turn against each other. She must let us know before we can come up with a solution, right? "
Shi Dajiang and Lin Xiaofeng showed strange expressions, like crying and laughing at the same time, and they were speechless.
Nangong Huiyue also chimed in and said:
"That's right, maybe if you tell me, sister Ying'er and I can go find out for you and help bring her into a happy relationship with one of you! ”
