I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 112 Bigger than courage

On Jiudu Mountain, Zheng Zhiyan rarely followed Zheng Zhipeng's example and started smoking a thick and long cigar. She almost smoked out all the cigar, but she didn't say a word or even move at all.

The little maid came over to pour him tea. She couldn't bear to see this, "Sixth Master, it's getting dark. You should take a rest quickly."

"Oh... I can't sleep. Luo Chao is still in the enemy camp, and his life or death is uncertain. How can I feel at ease?"

After a pause, he said: "Xiaomei, you are also a woman. Do you think Qin Liangyu will fall into the trap?"

The little maid stuck out her tongue and said: "Sixth Master, you asked me this question, how can I answer it? Although Qin Liangyu is also a woman, how can there be a woman as sharp as him in the world? What does she think, I can't say .”

Zheng Zhiyan gave a self-deprecating smile, "That's right, well... Luo Chao, Luo Chao, you must come back alive."

Little did he know that at this time, there was a different scene in Qin Liangyu's Baigan Army camp.

Qin Liangyu, who is nearly fifty years old, is only wearing silk casual clothes in the large tent of the military camp. He is holding a beeswax bracelet in his hand, and is only served by a small maid. There was not even a guard outside, and at her feet, Luo Chao was kneeling like a pug, not worried at all whether the enemy envoy would make an attack.

"This time, I have completely become a shameless scum who ripped people off. Luo Chao, have you brought anything?"

Luo Chao fawningly took out two things from his arms, but they were potatoes. He held them like treasures and said, "I brought them here. These are snow peas. The Zheng family has been growing them in Baodao for several years." The indigenous people who were driven to the mountains in Baodao lived by eating this food. It is suitable for both vegetables and grains. The yield is much higher than that of wheat and rice. It does not require water or land. It is most suitable for planting in Guizhou. , there are still thousands of stones in the mountain, all of which can be used as seeds."

"Ugh……"

Qin Liangyu took the potatoes and glanced at them, then turned around and handed them to the little maid behind him, ordering her to cook one and burn one before sighing and saying: "If it weren't for this, why would I, Qin Liangyu, do it?" Luo Chao, if this thing is as good as you say, everything will be easy for us, but if you dare to deceive me, I guarantee that you will regret being born!"

Luo Chao knelt down and took a few steps, climbed to Qin Liangyu's feet, kowtowed and said: "No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to deceive you. I am also a child from a poor family. My father is Mother, sister, and even the whole village starved to death in this disaster, how could you not know what this thing means to the poor people?"

As he said this, Luo Chao shed a few tears, which was very sad to see.

When Qin Liangyu saw this, the Iron Lady couldn't help but soften her heart, and sighed: "Get up first, my child, stop kneeling like this."

Luo Chao stood up after hearing the words, but he was already only a few feet away from Qin Liangyu. He wiped his tears and said: "The fourth and sixth masters of the Zheng family have been very kind to me. I shouldn't have done this behind their backs. It's better to kill me, but... But the Zheng brothers control the snow pea seeds very strictly. They only grow them on Treasure Island and are not allowed to flow outside at all. If there are too many people planting them, it will be a problem in the future. It’s worthless, I...I’m not resenting Fourth Master and Sixth Master, it’s just...it’s just...I just know that there are treasures in my mountain that can save the world, but I look at the countless victims outside the mountain who are hungry because they have nothing to eat. "Die, I really can't bear it, so I did this cheating thing. I wanted to use your power to spread this thing, but I betrayed the Fourth Master and the Sixth Master, and I feel... uncomfortable..."

Today's Luo Chao is no longer the young kid he was when he first followed Zheng Zhipeng. He has also experienced it, so he will naturally not make the same mistakes he made before. He knows that no one will like a betrayer, and he will do the same to him. No, but this so-called righteousness does not seem to be difficult to find.

Seeing Luo Chao's pain, Qin Liangyu actually felt a little sour in his heart. He believed Luo Chao's words to the point of ninety percent. After all, he didn't know that Luo Chao was not favored by Zheng Zhipeng, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pull him away when he saw this. Luo Chao sat down next to him, poured him a cup of tea himself, and said, "Good boy, it's hard for you. I understand, I understand. Sit down quickly and take a drink of water."

As she spoke, she touched Luo Chao's hair and murmured, "He is a good boy."

Qin Liangyu is almost fifty this year, and Luo Chao is just in his early thirties. In ancient times, at this age, both of them were old enough to be their mothers, so Qin Liangyu didn't care about the separation between men and women.

In fact, Qin Liangyu, a female general, lived and ate in the military camp all day long. If she had worried about this, she would have died of shame. However, Luo Chao may not have thought so. He saw him sitting next to Qin Liangyu and suddenly followed the momentum. He got into Qin Liangyu's arms and cried for a while. Qin Liangyu was a little confused and was so scared that he couldn't move.

After a while, Luo Chao suddenly reacted and knelt down to Qin Liangyu again, "I...I...I, I, I...I am guilty, I deserve to die. When I saw you just now, I couldn't help but think of my mother, I couldn't hold it back for a moment and asked General Qin to atone for his sins."

For a person like Qin Liangyu, he could only believe this nonsense at most. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Luo Chao. His eyes were no longer kind, but a little sharp, and he didn't say anything to ask him to get up. The atmosphere in the room was quite awkward, and a small amount of sweat began to appear on Luo Chao's forehead.

After a while, the maid came back and placed two cooked potatoes on the table. Qin Liangyu waved her hand to signal her to go out. After the maid left, she asked Luo Chao to stand up.

"You kid, it's okay. I have a son too. Come over and teach me how to eat this."

Luo Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly came forward and sat next to Qin Liangyu. He first took the roasted potato and put it in his hand. He then threw it back and forth with his hands in an exaggerated manner, and then blew it with a smile. He broke it open, peeled off the skin with his own hands, and handed it to Qin Liangyu's hand.

After swallowing it carefully, Qin Liangyu closed his eyes and said, "Yes, it tastes really good."

Luo Chao went to peel the boiled one again and said, "Try this again. There are many ways to make snow peas, and they can be stewed with anything." However, a piece of potato peel fell to the ground, and it happened to fall on the ground. At Qin Liangyu's feet, Luo Chao handed over the potatoes, "Oops, one piece fell off."

After saying that, Luo Chao knelt on the ground with one leg and went to pick up the potato peels. Whether intentionally or not, he actually touched Qin Liangyu's feet, which made Qin Liangyu act smart.

"Luo Chao, right? You are very courageous."

Luo Chao grinned and said, "There is something bigger than courage."
