Seeing this, the remaining people threw their weapons all over the ground without anyone's orders.

He learned from the soldiers on the deck and squatted on the deck with his hands on his head.

Sure enough, after the servants squatted down with their heads in their hands, the pirates who came onto the deck did not attack them again.

A battle just began and it was over.

On the deck, apart from the soldiers squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands and the servants of Rongguo Mansion,

Besides Jia Lian lying on the ground and the leader,

The only ones standing were the group of ferocious-looking pirates.

After all, the deck was too small, and so many people could not lie down completely. Only Jia Lian and the leader were qualified to lie down.

The blood color was directly imprinted on Jia Lian's mind, frightening him so much that his whole body trembled like a sieve. He had never felt that death was so close to him.

Although he was the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, he was arrogant and licentious because of his status. How could he have ever seen such a tragic bloodbath?

Just when Jia Lian was feeling uneasy,

The big man who had shouted earlier stood in front of everyone on the deck with his hands on his hips and asked,

"Who's in charge here?"

As soon as the words fell, almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned to him.

He looked at Jia Lian who was lying next to Commander Lai at the back of the crowd.

Jia Lian cursed in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

He looked up at the yelling person, smiled, and tried to stand up.

But my legs felt as limp as noodles and I had no strength at all.

After struggling for several times, I was unable to get up.

I could only lie down and look up at the big man.

"Your Majesty, it is I, Your Majesty."

The big man nodded without comment, squatted beside Jia Lian and said,

"Who are you and what do you do?"

When Jia Lian heard the big man's faint voice, he felt his whole body tremble.

He answered tremblingly,

"I am the heir of the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing... This trip to Yangzhou is to pick someone up and bring him back to Shenjing!"

"I, I am willing to pay for the passage! I hope the king will understand."

"Rongguo Mansion?"

The big man raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, and looked Jia Lian up and down.

Jia Lian nodded quickly and said,

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Jia Lian quickly glanced at Zhao'er, who was still holding her head.

He felt relieved as the other party seemed to have responded to Rongguo Mansion.

But I found that he was still squatting there with his head in his hands, without saying a word.

Jia Ling was so angry that she reached out and pinched him hard.

Zhao'er turned around and looked at Jia Lian in horror and confusion.

Jia Lian said angrily,

"Hurry up and present the fare we prepared for this handsome king!"

"Oh oh oh! Yes, yes, yes! Yes, Second Master!"

Zhao'er nodded repeatedly and stood up quickly.

He had only half stood up when he saw the big man squatting next to Jia Lian.

I secretly watched the big man's actions, but didn't notice any reaction from him.

Looking at Jia Lian, he asked,

"Second Master..."

Jia Lian understood what Zhao Er meant, but at this moment he could not care about anything else and said hurriedly,

"There's a box in the bundle beside my bed."

"Yes!"

Zhao'er quickly got up and ran towards the cabin.

The big man just folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Jia Lian indifferently.

Jia Lian felt uncomfortable being stared at. Although he didn't understand why the other person was staring at him like that, he quietly lowered his eyes.

Soon,

Zhao'er, the servant beside Jia Lian, ran out quickly holding a box.

Without saying a word, he placed the box in front of Jia Lian and squatted back in his previous position.

"you……"

Jia Lian was so angry that he cursed his mother, but he was facing the big man who was as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.

He swallowed hard, then slowly opened the box with a smile.

He took out all the banknotes and counted them.

All in all, there were about seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Jia Lian looked at the banknotes in the box with a painful expression.

He first took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and wanted to hand it to the big man next to him.
