Chapter 13: When it is proper to respond, one should respond; when it is not proper to respond, one should also respond!

  (Calling for recommendation votes, thank you all brothers!)

  ————————————————————

  Ding Yunyi never believed in such rumors: "What should I do? Should I give the knife to someone else?"

  "It's unnecessary." Qin Yun's response was somewhat unexpected: "As long as you kill the person who sent you the knife, the evil energy on the blade will naturally be eliminated."

  Ding Yunyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This knife was given by Zheng Zhi Long himself, although he also had no good intentions, but as a small patrol inspector, could he rush over and kill the majestic General Zheng Zhi Long?

  Furthermore, Zheng Zhi Long is a genuine martial arts master. He has extensively studied Chinese martial arts, traveled to Japan to practice Japanese swordsmanship, and even learned Western sword fighting from French people. He also used to be a pirate and relied on his real skills to fight his way up to become the leader of the pirates. The combat techniques of pirates are simple, practical, ruthless, and emphasize killing with one strike, so it's not easy for someone to stand out among them.

  Zheng Zhi Long's skills combined the strengths of China, Japan, Europe and pirates. The master of Japanese Kito Ryu school, Mizumoto, was killed by his sword. How can someone who learned some fighting skills from street gangs be a match for him?

  He was afraid that before he could even get in front of him, he would already be dead under Zheng Zhilong's blade.

  "Thank you for your kind intentions, Qin Jieyuan." Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "Good fortune and misfortune are in the hands of heaven, our worries are also useless."

  Seeing Ding Yunyi being so stubborn, Qin Yun didn't quite believe that what he said about "Longya" being a fierce knife was true, and shook his head somewhat helplessly. Suddenly, the topic shifted: "Since Inspector Ding doesn't mind, it seems that good fortune has its own destiny, and I, Qin Yun, have been overthinking things. Just now, when I heard Inspector Ding say he's preparing to plunder pirates and Westerners, I thought this plan was brilliant."

  As soon as Qin Yun agreed with his opinion, Ding Yunwei suddenly gained spirit: "Does Qin Jiayuan also think this method is feasible?"

  Qin Yun smiled: "The pirates have been robbed, and we can't rob them? Just now I listened outside for half a day, and Ding Xun said that the pirates were robbed to go to court. This is a great idea. In short, even if you rob the pirates, it's still a waste of effort!"

  Ding Yunyi was overjoyed and suddenly felt that this person was very much in tune with his temperament.

  "It's just a matter of how to seize the opportunity with a well-planned scheme." Qin Yun seemed as if this matter was already set in stone: "After all, we only have so many people, and first need to investigate when the pirates will arrive at Penghu, and then figure out how to make our move..."

  He kept saying "we" and "us", making it clear that he had also included himself in their group.

  What kind of serious reader is this?

  Ding Yunyi was delighted, he himself was from another era and didn't understand the situation, the group of soldiers around him looked like they had all read books, if he could pull in Qin Yun, a talented young man, it wouldn't be bad.

  The brothers all gathered around Ding Yunyi and Qin Yun, listening to their plan to rob the "grand plan", once again leaving Hong Baizhang cold on one side.

  Hong was stunned. As the captain of the Ming dynasty, how could his subordinates, along with a scholar who didn't take things seriously, come up with a plan that only pirates would think of?

  "If we want to get this done......" Qin Yun glanced at Hong Tiao Yuan, who was standing outside like a wooden chicken, and suddenly lowered his voice to say: "We must pull in Old Hong, otherwise this matter will definitely not be accomplished!"

  "How did you pull it off?" Ding Yunyi also asked in a low voice.

  "There are two things in the Song Dynasty that I admire the most." Qin Yun said in a voice that only those beside him could hear: "One is wearing the yellow robe, and the other is when the waters forced the 108 heroes of Liangshan to gather..."

  Ding Yunyi was also a clever person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Qin Yun's words. He let his brothers squeeze Hong Diaoyuan to the outside on purpose, so that he couldn't hear what they were saying inside, then he discussed with his brothers in a low voice for a while.

  Those brothers had been in Penghu for a long time, and everyone was so poor that they were dizzy. At this time, Ding Yunyi, a bold and reckless inspector, came to lead them out of their miserable lives. Who wouldn't be overjoyed? At this moment, each one regarded Ding Yunyi as his own superior.

  Hong Diao Yuan was anxiously pacing outside, while the people inside were surely discussing the robbery plan, but he couldn't hear anything from where he was.

  The discussion was settled, and the crowd suddenly dispersed. The brothers immediately became busy. Hong Diao Yuan grabbed Ding Yun Yi and was so anxious that he almost cried: "Ding Patrol Officer, Brother Ding, this is a beheading affair, you absolutely cannot do it!"

  What does Ding Yunyi care about whether he loses his head at this time? In this poor place, the longer you stay, the more likely you are to starve to death before Zou Weiqun even transfers himself back!

  Xiao XiXi responded to Hong DiaoYuan with a few sentences, at this time all the brothers were already ready.

  A square table, during the day it was Hong Deyuan's office desk, at mealtimes it became a dining table, and now it had a third use, being used as an incense table.

  An incense burner was placed on top and three sticks of incense were inserted inside.

  Then a chair that looked a bit rickety was brought out and placed in front of the incense table.

  Hong Diao Yuan had not yet figured out what was going on, but he was already being sandwiched between Xiao Yi Feng and Bao Zong Hua, one on the left and one on the right, and forcibly pressed into a chair.

  On the other side, Ding Yunyi led a group of brothers, half-kneeling on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Brother Hong!"

  Hong diaoyuan Zhang opened his mouth wide.

  "Brother Hong!" Ding Yunyi said with a fist, "We are trapped in Penghu, without external supplies and internal pay. Now the pirate Zheng Xi is rampant, everyone is eyeing Penghu. As officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we have the duty to defend Penghu, but if we cannot unite as one heart, we will be destroyed by Zheng Xi sooner or later. We are willing to form a fraternal bond with you, Brother Hong, and respectfully ask you to lead us in defending Penghu."

  "Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Hong Diao Yuan's face turned red with rage as he was pinned down in his chair: "We are both officials and soldiers of the great Ming dynasty, how can we learn from bandits and become sworn brothers? If this gets out, people will laugh at us until their teeth fall out!"

  Ding Yunyi gave a signal, and Bao Zhuhua, being a rough man, dared to steal even his superior's autumn pants. What else couldn't he do? At that moment, with a "brush" sound, he drew out his knife and placed it on Hong Tiao Yuan's neck, saying viciously:

  "Hong, don't refuse the toast or you'll be punished with a penalty drink! You've had a hard life before, but I won't let that happen again! Today, you must respond to the toast, whether you want to or not! If all else fails, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish and tell everyone you died at the hands of pirates, having given your life for the country. There are plenty of brothers here who will vouch for it!"

  Hong Diao Yuan was frightened and looked down at his subordinates, only to see that they all lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.

  Lao Ji opened his mouth wanting to speak, but was quietly pulled by Qin Yun, and the words that reached his lips were swallowed back.

  It's done! Hong Diao Yuan's scalp was numb, and he had easily sent a patrol inspector, who was still the son of his own master. Who would have thought that this patrol inspector was such an unscrupulous person? In just a short period of time, his brothers had already stood on his side?

  Robbery, after the incident is a dead end. Not responding? Afraid it's going to be death right now.

  Bao Zonghua is really a man who can do anything.
