The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

A bright moon jumped out of the sea, breaking through the shackles of dark clouds and sprinkling the white moonlight on the sea.

The moonlight is shining brightly, and the sea is sparkling.

The sea breeze blows, and the cool breeze is very pleasant.

Under the moon, above the sea, a young man held a jade flute, stood on the bow of a wooden boat, and blew gently.

The sound of the flute is melodious, and the sound of the waves echoes each other, like a symphony.

"The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. Hearing

someone speak, the young man holding the jade flute turned around, he was dressed in a white robe, his skin was slightly dark, but his facial features were exquisite.

"Ruoqi, are you homesick?" an old merchant in a brocade robe walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the young man in the white robe.

"Dad, I didn't. I just felt that the scenery in front of me was so enchanting, I couldn't help but want to play a song. The

old merchant touched his beard, looked at the sea, and said, "This situation and this scene really make people miss their hometown." However, our ancestors also went to Nanyang from the land of the Ming Dynasty, and this is our real hometown. "

Dad, when are we going back?"

"Ruoqi, tomorrow we will set off and return to Guangdong, but we will not return to Nanyang until winter." The old merchant looked at the moon in the sky and said, "It's been almost half a year, let's wait a few months, and when the winter wind comes, we'll go home." "

Dad, I've heard that there have been pirates here lately. Shall we postpone our departure for a few days?" The

old merchant said with relief: "Don't worry! The pirates here are not as fond of killing people as Chen Zuyi of Nanyang, so if you buy more silver, you will be fine!"

The moonlight was bright, and the sound of the waves crashing against the reef made a clattering sound.

The wooden ship rose and fell in the sea, accompanied by the sound of the waves, and two pirates in the cabin fell asleep leaning against the doorway.

"Get up! Go and escort that Zheng Hai out. The

pirate Zhao Jiuxiao, dressed in a short brown cloth coat, kicked a pirate at the door.

The pirate at the door hurriedly got up and replied, "Three masters, I'll go and escort him out." "

The sky was already bright, and the pirate ship hung up its sails, left the shallows of the moored island, and sailed on the sea.

Zheng Hai was escorted onto the deck by two pirates, and there were already several pirates standing on the bow deck, armed with long knives.

Zheng Hai knew one of them, and that person claimed to be the third leader of the Aquila Gang and the pirate leader of the Six Horizontal Islands.

Zhao Jiuxiao stared at Zheng Hai, his eyes were very bright.

He touched his little beard and asked, "Your name is Zheng Hai, Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and you are the spy general of the government's Jinghai operation, am I right?" Zheng Hai

was slightly surprised, looked at Zhao Jiuxiao, looked confused, and asked, "How do you know my identity?"

"It's okay to tell you, anyway, you're going to see the king of Hades soon!" Zhao Jiuxiao looked teased and said, "You may not know that your news was told to us by your general!"

"Impossible! You are talking nonsense!" Zheng Hai stared at Zhao Jiuxiao.

Zhao Jiuxiao laughed loudly and said, "Hehehe! You are a person who is about to die, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to a dead person?" Zhao Jiuxiao turned to the

other pirates beside him: "Brothers, this official is really stupid! If we hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that he was killed by himself until he died!"

"Hahahaha!" The pirates laughed wantonly.

"Haha! This official likes to fight in the nest

!" "I didn't expect that this official is not as good as us pirates!" Zheng

Hai stared at Zhao Jiuxiao, and after listening to Zhao Jiuxiao's words, he once again confirmed his guess.

However, even so, he did not waver in his determination because of this.

Zheng Hai said indignantly: "I really didn't expect that I was betrayed by my own people.

"You kid, have you figured it out so quickly?" Zhao Jiuxiao was a little curious.

Zheng Hai explained: "When I entered the tea shed, I was suspicious of you, and I knew that you were pirates. It's just that I didn't expect that the person who betrayed me would be my superior. "

Oh, then tell me, how do you doubt us?" Zhao Jiuxiao stared at Zheng Hai, his eyes bright.

"It's the little girl who cried. Zheng Hai was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Do you remember that I once asked you two questions." The first is whether the child is your child, and the second is why is she crying

?" "Yes, you asked, but what's wrong with this?"

Zheng Hai explained: "Your answer seems to be flawless, but in my opinion, your answer is perfunctory. Because you are not the little girl's family at all! I see fear in the way the little girl looks at you, and there is no familiarity between relatives.

Zhao Jiuxiao glanced at Zheng Hai, nodded, and asked, "Since you doubt my identity, why did you still drink the tea I poured for you? Why did you follow me into the room, aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"

Because I want to know about Zhao Laojiu's situation. It's just that I didn't expect that the so-called Zhao Laojiu is not our secret stake at all..."

Okay, since you know it now, then you can go on the road with peace of mind!" The pirate leader Zhao Jiuxiao looked at Zheng Hai with some admiration in his eyes.

After Zhao Jiuxiao finished speaking, he looked at his subordinates on the side, nodded to the pirates beside Zheng Hai, and signaled that the pirates could kill Zheng Hai now.

The two pirates who grabbed Zheng Hai's shoulders pressed Zheng Hai, and Zheng Hai knelt on the deck.

With a thud, one of the pirates drew his sword.

"Wait!"

Zheng Hai turned his head to glance at the pirate holding a knife beside him, and then looked at the pirate leader Zhao Jiuxiao, and shouted: "Third Master Zhao, can you give me a chance." I would like to join you and become a pirate.

Zhao Jiuxiao stared at Zheng Hai and was silent.

The pirate next to him seemed to be a little tempted, and one of the pirates said to Zhao Jiuxiao: "Three masters, if he can join the Sky Eagle Gang, then from now on, there will be our people in the official mansion." Isn't that—"

Zhao Jiuxiao raised a hand and stopped the pirate from continuing.

He stared at Zheng Hai for a while, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, I really admire you, you are extremely observant. If you can join us in the Aquila Gang, it will be of great benefit to us. But I can't promise

you, because you have to die!" Zheng Hai was a little surprised, stared at Zhao Jiuxiao, and continued to ask, "Third Master Zhao, why? Why do you have to let me die?"

"Because of this!" The pirate leader Zhao Jiuxiao took a copy of the fold from his subordinates and opened it in front of Zheng Hai, "This is the reason why I have to kill you."

Zheng Hai stared at the fold, only saw some blurry handwriting, and did not understand what was written on it.

"You have to kill me?" Zheng Hai was a little confused and asked, "Just because, my identity is Jinyiwei?" "

No! not because you are Jinyiwei, but because you killed someone eight years ago. "

Eight years ago?"

Zheng Hai pondered.

Eight years ago, Zheng Hai had just come to the Ming Dynasty...

By the way, he once killed two men in black...

Seeing Zheng Hai's pensive face, Zhao Jiuxiao asked again: "Do you remember that you killed a bearded man, his name is Xiang Batian!"

Zheng Hai was silent.

Yes,

he remembered, one of the two men in black was a strong man with a full beard and rough facial features.

The reason why he was able to receive a reward of twenty taels of silver was because Xiang Batian was a murderer wanted by the government...

Glancing at the pirates around him, Zheng Hai asked again, "What does it matter?" "

That's why you have to die!" The pirate leader Zhao Jiuxiao shook his head at Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai asked, "Why? Could it be that Xiang Batian is also the leader of your pirates?"

"That's right! Xiang Batian used to be a pirate!"

Zhao Jiuxiao stared at Zheng Hai and explained, "You should know that our gang leader is called Xiang Xiaotian." And Xiang Batian is not only a pirate, but also a sworn brother of our gang leader. If you kill him, then you must die!" Zheng

Hai smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, a murder eight years ago turned out to be the most insurmountable difficulty for him to break into the pirates.

This old case made Zheng Hai's last effort come to naught, and his success failed.
