"But..." Shen Zhonghe frowned slightly, "Did my father really see it wrong?"

"Xiao Man, see through but don't tell. What your father saw was not decided by him, but by your second uncle. What's more, I asked your father later what was the first thing he saw? Later, the second brother showed me the one. He said he was not sure because he couldn't see clearly what it was, but his intuition told him that something was wrong. But later, because the adoptive father said, today is my birthday, how can you make such a fuss? It was noisy, so the eldest brother just went along with the flow and apologized to the second brother. He originally planned to wait for my birthday to quietly go to the second brother's cabin to explore and see what he was planning behind their backs. What secret did he hide? I didn’t expect that before my birthday passed, the accident happened."

"So that's it." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "I just said that my father's eyesight is not bad, so he didn't really see it wrong."

"Yes, later we checked his ship's warehouse and found the letters he wrote to those people, which had not yet been sent out. We also saw the replies from those people to him, which all had that special mark." Liang Jie Que sighed softly, "Until then, we were really convinced that the second brother betrayed us and betrayed us." She took a sip of water and continued, "We sailed quite fast that day because of the favorable wind. Along the way, maybe God was helping them, or maybe it was helping us recognize the second brother. He should have arrived at their encirclement point earlier than expected. However, at that time, we didn't know These. Although we also sailed on the road at night, the speed was a little slower than during the day. In order to ensure safety, and in addition, they prepared a birthday party for me that night. Although it was on a different ship, my The boat was side by side with the main ship, and everyone was sitting on the deck, eating the same food and drinking the same wine, which was a unique experience. If what happened later had not happened, then I think this was the best thing I had ever experienced in my life. A birthday.

"Is there nothing in the food or wine?"

"This is certain. It doesn't exist. Otherwise, we wouldn't be alive now. Their purpose is not to let us die. They want to threaten us and ask us to do things for them. If something is put in the wine, Then their plan will fail."

"You have clearly rejected them, and they still dream of asking you to help them? They... are determined to not give up!"

"Because we are the only ones they can use. If they want to get a special pass, they must go through us. If they want to give up on us, they won't be able to do it for a while." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "Other than that In addition, my adoptive father has always had strict orders. During the sea voyage, unless you encounter something particularly important, you must not drink alcohol. If you want to drink, it is very soft rice wine, the kind that will not make you drunk at all. Therefore, everyone also It just meant two drinks, and it was lively for a while. After they told me happy birthday and gave me birthday gifts, they went back."

"Have you all gone back to bed?"

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "Except for the guards who were on duty at night, they all went back to their cabins to rest." She looked at Shen Zhonghe, smiled, and said, "What I told you is sleep. When I was in a daze, I heard something moving outside. It was not nonsense, it was real. I was awakened by the movement outside and wanted to go out to see, but I was grabbed by the maid and the guard, saying that the main ship was being attacked by someone. In the sneak attack, the guards on the ship were all knocked down due to internal interference. We can’t go out. It’s important to save our lives.”

"They are right. Aunt Liang, you have never been through this. If you go out, it will be trouble. You hide well and save your life. That is the first priority." Shen Cha nodded, "What happened next? You went out?" "No, I can't get out at all. They are forcing me to die, so I can only hide." Liang Jieque smiled bitterly, "You know, one advantage of my cabin is that it can be accessed through the porthole on the right side. I could clearly see everything that happened on the main ship, so I punctured the window paper of the porthole and secretly watched what happened on the main ship. The first thing that caught my eye was that the second brother was holding a long sword, and those The Japanese who made the sneak attack stood together and were very arrogant."

"How do you know it's Japanese?"

"They are not tall, they speak in a gibberish voice, and I can't understand them at all. I knew they were Japanese from the look on their faces. There were several guards lying scattered on the deck of the main ship. I was so panicked at the time that I didn't even count the number of guards. , I felt that something would happen to my adoptive father and eldest brother, so I simply asked my guards to rescue them. My guards said that my adoptive father had already made arrangements for fear that Japanese pirates would attack, so they told me not to worry. I I know that my adoptive father has always been very calculating, so I didn’t hesitate and just lay by the porthole and watched everything on the main ship."

"Besides the Japanese, was there anyone else on that boat?"

"One of the Hu merchants we met, he was standing with his second brother. He looked very proud, looking at his adoptive father and eldest brother with a knife on their necks by the Japanese." Liang Jieque said softly. He sighed softly, "When I poked through the window paper of the porthole, I saw the elder brother shaking his head towards me when the other party was not paying attention, meaning that I should not act rashly and stay there obediently. You can't come out. I understood what brother meant, so I didn't dare to move."

"They should have their own plan, right?"

"Then I don't know. Anyway, they haven't told me, and I don't know either." Liang Jieque shrugged helplessly, "When I saw it, that Hu Shang was showing off to his adoptive father and eldest brother, and the Shen family also It's not that they are invulnerable, but there are still people who can be used by them. Their dearest son, their most beloved brother, resolutely chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, abandoning his stubborn family and standing on the brightest side."

"They are so brazen!" Shen Zhonghe sneered, "Why are they the brightest? They are the darkest, right? They hide in the gutter and use the most disgusting means to achieve their goals."

"Everyone has a different opinion. They think they have a bright future. Naturally, they have their reasons. There is no need for us to correct them. Just like your second uncle thinks that you have a brighter future with them than with us. So, Just respect their choice." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "I'm really surprised that I can say such words so calmly now."
