There is actually a game of our national football team tonight...

~~~~~~

Li Yuanqing smiled and held Liu Qinghan's little hand.

Her hands were a little cold and her whole body was trembling slightly.

"Remember what I said. Don't think so much. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. You are too thin and I don't like it. You need to eat more, you know?"

Li Yuanqing said, patted her butt with a smile, and squeezed it gently.

"General..."

Liu Qinghan's dark and pretty face couldn't help but blush. After a moment, she mustered up the courage to say: "General, if I get fat, will you really want me?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and took a deep breath from his cigar: "If I don't want a beautiful woman, am I, Li Yuanqing, a fool?"

"Thank you General!"

Liu Qinghan respectfully kowtowed to Li Yuanqing several times before leaving happily.

Looking at her thin back, Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly pressed the cigar hard on the table!

He doesn't like tragedy!

Therefore, he will do his best to prevent tragedy from happening!

…………

Time flies by and it’s already the beginning of September.

After this period of busyness, the dock has basically begun to take shape, and the neighborhoods, roads, barracks, and major construction facilities near the dock have also begun to get on track.

Except for the road construction, which has to go through a part of the rainforest, which is a bit troublesome, the other construction problems are not too big.

The main architectural style is also mainly Chinese style, highlighting a grand atmosphere.

The second day of September.

In the evening, at the Royal Concubine Building, the most famous Chinese restaurant in the Brunei Pier District, a group of representatives of the Nanyang Chinese gentry once again invited Li Yuanqing to have a banquet. Together with a dozen of the main generals of the Changsheng Battalion, there were more than a dozen tables.

They are all Chinese. Although some Chinese gentry are descendants of generations of immigrants, most of them can speak Mandarin and can communicate with Li Yuanqing without any obstacles.

The banquet started at six o'clock in the evening and lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. It had no intention of ending yet. Li Yuanqing was also a little helpless.

Chinese people are good at everything, but~~, they just have to deepen their feelings and talk about things at this wine table. Li Yuanqing is really speechless.

Although he is also a good drinker and likes to drink with his brothers, he can't bear to be in this kind of situation every day and soak in wine every day.

Fortunately, the wines in Nanyang are all low-alcohol wines, which are only a few degrees higher than beer. Li Yuanqing can barely cope with it.

It was not easy. When the banquet was about to end and these "big men" were sent away, Li Yuanqing was about to go back to find Zhang Baozhu to "get rid of the fire".

At this time, suddenly a servant from a wealthy family named Chen ran in quickly and said, "Master, master, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"

The family surnamed Chen is a wealthy businessman in Malacca, and has been in Nanyang for the third generation. It is no exaggeration to say that the family is extremely wealthy.

The patriarch is Chen Yougen, who is in his early forties this year. At that time, he was also a staunch supporter of Li Yuanqing's Pan-Pacific Trading Company.

"Why are you panicking? Don't you know what the occasion is? Why don't you get out quickly?"

Seeing that the show was about to end, Chen Yougen couldn't help but get angry because his domestic slave was so ignorant.

But this slave knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, we have more than a dozen cargoes and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! They were all intercepted by those stupid white-haired ghosts! Even the eldest young master, also

We were captured by them! They said, I want you to prepare one million taels of silver, and you must hand over the money and deliver the goods within ten days! Otherwise, we will break up the vote!"

"What? Hua'er, he..."

Chen Yougen staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Li Yuanqing, who was next to him, had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly grabbed him and helped him up.

"W-who is so brave? At this time, he actually dares to intercept our Chinese goods?"

"That's right! This damn guy clearly doesn't give us face!"

"Hey! These pirates in Nanyang are too rampant! Even the Japanese pirates in the early years were not as bold as them!"

"…………"

There was a burst of discussion around him.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but frown, and said to the Chen family slave: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. Who intercepted the Chen family's goods? And kidnapped Mr. Chen?"

This slave also knew Li Yuanqing and knew Li Yuanqing's identity, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Sir, it is the executioner Jack. He is located in the sea area less than a hundred miles away from Brunei. Their firepower is too strong and the ship is fast.

We can’t even run away!”

"Ah? It's actually Jack the Executioner?"

"This, what should we do?"

"The Chen family is afraid this time, I'm afraid..."

Hearing the whispers around him, Chen Yougen couldn't help but look ashen. For a moment, two lines of old tears could not stop pouring out: "Hua'er, my son! This, this..."

After a moment, he suddenly reacted, grabbed Li Yuanqing's big hand, rolled and knelt on the ground and said: "Li Junmen, you, you are an official of the imperial court, and you are powerful in the Ming Dynasty, this matter, this matter, you

You have to let the common people make the decision!"

Everyone around seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at once. They were often blackmailed by the executioner Jack, and they all fell to their knees: "Li Junmen, you have to help Lao Chen!"

"Li Junmen..."

Looking at the excited crowd, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This executioner Jack actually dares to be so arrogant and repeatedly looted Ming Dynasty's merchant ships. It is really intolerable. What is unbearable! Everyone, please rest assured, this matter~~,

This general will definitely take care of it to the end!"

Everyone around them couldn't help but be overjoyed and kowtowed one after another. They finally found their backbone!

…………

The banquet ended quickly, and the main officers on Li Yuanqing's combat ship were quickly gathered together.

"Damn it, what the hell is Jack the Executioner? He's clearly trying to get in trouble with us! This is simply intolerable!"

When Shunzi heard the news, she couldn't help but slap the table.

Kong Youde also said: "General, this matter is crucial to whether our Changsheng Battalion can gain a foothold in Nanyang. We must not sit idly by and ignore it."

"Yes! We can't let these white-haired monkeys be so rampant! These bastards just want to sit on our necks and shit!"

"..."

The surrounding generals expressed their opinions one after another, and without any hesitation, they reached a consensus that they should deal with it toughly.

Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai, who until now had not made a clear stance.

Seeing Li Yuanqing's gaze, Guan Canghai took a deep breath and said: "General, what everyone said is good. However, I feel that something is wrong about this matter because of my humble position!"

Li Yuanqing nodded and signaled Guan Canghai to continue.

Guan Canghai said again: "Everyone, have you noticed that although Jack, the executioner, is rampant, he seems to rarely attack Chinese businessmen these days! But at this time, our Pan Pacific Trading Company has not yet opened.

This guy actually jumped out in such a hurry. He is still less than a hundred miles away from Brunei. This..."

Xu Heizi also understood what Guan Canghai meant at this time, and hurriedly said: "Old official, are you saying that there is someone behind this bitch?"

Guan Canghai nodded heavily, "Eight~nine times are inseparable! There are people~~ who don't want to see our Pan-Pacific Trading Company go smoothly!"

"These bastard Spaniards! This must be the idea of ​​that bird-feathered Varun da Gama! We can't bear this tone!"

Shunzi couldn't help but jump up!

After following Li Yuanqing for so many years, especially after going to Changsheng Island, the two brothers have always chased others. How have they ever been so wronged that someone dared to step on their faces?

How can you bear this?

Kong Youde also said: "This executioner Jack will be a disaster sooner or later, so we should take this opportunity to get rid of him together!"

Guan Canghai waved his hand and said: "This matter is not easy! According to the information we have, Jack the Executioner has more than a dozen large ships! This at least means that he may have three to four thousand people under his command. We must not be rash.

!”

Li Yuanqing nodded deeply, "We have an old saying in China, if you don't have diamonds, don't get the porcelain job! Since Jack the executioner dares to do this, he must not take us seriously! He thinks there is nothing we can do.

Him!"

Guan Canghai said: "General, even if this is the case, we have no way out! If we don't kill this guy, our Pan Pacific Trading Company will never have peace!"

Kong Youde said: "This guy only gives the Chen family ten days. Time is very tight!"

Li Yuanqing nodded: "It's hard to do, but you have to do it! Since Jack, the executioner, wants to die, then~~~, we will help them!"

…………

Before dawn the next day, Li Yuanqing made an appointment with Morientes, Varun da Gama's representative in Brunei.

Morientes is about in his early fifties, short and fat, with white eyebrows and green bean-sized eyes full of Spanish sternness and philistineness.

"Honorable General Li, I wonder why you summoned me?"
