Chapter 2: The bold ones (three)

"Uncle, if the Qin family had not betrayed the enemy, how could the imperial navy have intercepted the Second Master's fleet so coincidentally in Hangzhou Bay? If the Second Master had not commanded Ruoding, he would have been buried in the sea, and this was the one who shot the Second Master!" Hou Er suddenly stood up and pointed out that Qin Chong was crying in anger.

"You, you are spies from the Northern Dynasties..." Qin Chong's face turned pale when he heard this, stood up and roared at Hou Er.

"What, do you say that the second master is injured?" Zheng Zhilong was also confused for a moment, and he didn't know what he was saying was the truth. He is only concerned about the safety of his brother's lives and immediately stepped forward and took a quick step and asked.

Hou Er said with grief and anger: "When the Second Master was ashore in Qiantang, he suspected that the Qin family and son were spies. He deliberately showed his favor to surrender, so he was inevitably wary. He didn't know that Qin Ruhai was cunning like a fox, and Qin Chong was even more scheming. When he was greeted by the dock, he suddenly shot a cold arrow. Fortunately, the Second Master was alert and the sharp arrow passed through his legs. He still couldn't get out of bed. All the matter was handled by He Bin. We wished to kill the father and son raised by the bitch to avenge the second master, and ask the uncle to fulfill it!" As soon as the words came to an end, Hou Er knelt on one knee.

"Please help me and let me kill the father and son to avenge the second master!" The remaining seven people also knelt down and said in unison.

After hearing this, Qin Chong was both heartbroken. No matter how stupid a person was, he now understood. He recalled the wolf running all the way, and the pursuers followed closely, but seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally create a chance for their father and son to escape to Zheng Zhilong's army. It turned out that it was deliberately arranged by someone to kill people with a knife. What a wonderful trick! Qin Chong was so angry that he was so depressed by lard at the beginning. He ruined the entire Qin family for a little glory and wealth. How unfair!

"Are you guys?" Zheng Zhilong's mind could no longer keep up with thinking. He had completely lost his judgment who was right and who was wrong. Even Zheng Ding gradually deviated from Hou Er's side in his heart. After all, Zheng Zhihu was not more than 80 armed merchant ships. The court had no water force to compete with it. Moreover, the soldiers and generals he led were elites who had been conquering the sea for many years. Although there were many rumors before and no specific news was received in Fujian, he still firmly believed that even if the court had the power to fight with Zheng Zhihu, it was difficult to kill Zheng Zhihu, which was completely wiped out, so he began to move closer to what Hou Er said in his heart.

"Hou Er, if you say the facts, why did the Second Master report no news for more than ten days? How can the military and national affairs be a joke?" Zheng Ding shouted.

"Reporting to General Ding, Erye did not want to report the letter to the old man. It was just that a shell from the Northern Dynasty Navy hit the pigeon breeding room on the flagship. Erye's pigeon on the flagship was either dead or seriously injured, and none of them were intact, so..." Hou Er lowered his head and said.

"When I encountered the Northern Dynasty Navy, why didn't I send a letter immediately?" Zheng Ding shouted sternly.

"General Ding, you know the second master's temper. We subordinates have something to say, and we can't say." Hou Er pretended to be embarrassed.

"What's there to say, say!" Zheng Zhilong seemed to calm down his irritable mood and interrupted directly.

"The uncle told me that the villain dared not refuse to obey, but the villain said that, please don't punish the second master too much!" Hou Er said.

"You should tell me quickly!" Zheng Ding said with a gloomy face. He had a premonition that what Hou Er said must be Zheng Zhihu's reckless thing.

As expected, Hou Er's general Song Xiance speculated that Zheng Zhihu was greedy for his achievements, threw He Bin's persuasion into his ears, and told him about his imprisonment. Although Song Xiance's guess was somewhat deviant in details, it was generally correct. Moreover, everyone's explanations were different. How could Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Ding not understand Zheng Zhihu's nature? After Hou Er said this, he was originally a matter of five or five in his heart, but now he has believed what Hou Er said six points.

"It has been several days since the second master came ashore. After the second master came ashore, he could send a quick horse to report. Why has the lord army entered Zhejiang? The second master still had no news?" Zheng Ding said in confusion. Since he had landed, he should immediately return it. The carrier pigeons are gone. There must be fast horses. The army has entered Zhejiang for several days, but there has not been any news. This is strange. Although Zheng Zhihu is reckless, even in order to evade punishment, he cannot send any letters!

"This, this villain doesn't know." Hou Er said in a panic. He knew that he was just a little person. He knew too much and said too much would inevitably make people suspicious, so he simply stopped immediately.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was about to scold Hou Er. When Yu Guang arrived, he saw Zheng Ding shaking his head quietly at him. He immediately thought about it. He immediately took back the scolding he had spoken.

"Hou Er, wait and go and rest first. I will deal with whether the Qin family's father and son are spies." Zheng Zhilong ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, uncle." Hou Er hesitated a little, "but before leaving, the second master instructed that if a villain meets the uncle's army on the way to pursue the Qin father and son, he must return and report immediately, so..."

"No need, the lord will get along with the second master soon. You can rest assured to follow the army first!" Zheng Ding thought that the Qin father and son and the Hou Er led a total of eight people, one of them must be lies, that is, one of them was spies. Although Hou Er's words were reasonable and there was no flaw in the beginning and end, this was just a flaw. On the contrary, Qin Ruhai was so angry that he died on the spot. If it was a spy, he would have made every attempt to argue after being exposed. On the contrary, Qin Chong had almost no defense. In a vague way, Zheng Ding changed over again and believed more about the Qin father and son.

No one expected that Qin Ruhai would die suddenly on the spot without a single word of defense. Even Song Xiance could not have calculated that such a change would occur. Therefore, this bold "Please enter the trap" plan had a few more variables and the ending became confusing.

When Hou Er entered Zheng Zhilong's camp, he knew that he had lost his freedom and might be like being placed in jail for a period of time. Therefore, he could not send out the news of Qin Ruhai's sudden death in time, so the life and death of these eight of them could only depend on the will of God.

On the other hand, Qin Chong, after his father died, was also thinking about his own way out. At this time, Qin Chong lost his close relative. The calmed Qin Chong became particularly clear. The Northern Dynasties intended to force the father and son to escape into Zheng Zhilong's army, and also used a plan to kill people with a knife. If this purpose was just a matter of slight slight, only the father and son escaped from the heavens. The others were clearly in the hands of the Northern Dynasties' official army. Although they did not use this as a threat to him, it was actually a kind of

The threat was that Hou Er was obviously pretending to be an official army in the Northern Dynasties, but he had no evidence and could not win the trust of Zheng Zhilong. Even if Zheng Zhilong believed him, he could not believe it all. Now that his father is dead, if he has implicated dozens of people in the family for his own life, what would he have to face the ancestors of the Qin family? After thinking about it, he could not only save the life of the family once he died, but also worth the safety of the family with the reputation of father and son spies. At this point, he no longer favored Zheng Zhilong, a pirate prince who was born into a pirate.

That night, Qin Chong committed suicide and died peacefully. He lay side by side with his father Qin Ruhai. He was only able to discover when the guards outside the tent changed shifts.
