Hearing that Bai Ziqi was going to throw her into the river, the coldness in Ye Zhen's eyes intensified. She should have shot him with an arrow!
Unmoved, Murong Ke gently placed the glass on the table. "Impossible."
Bai Ziqi turned to look at him and snorted coldly. "What, Murong Ke, is this your woman? Even if she is your woman, so what? Throw her into the river and I will send you more women."
Ye Zhen did not expect Murong Ke or Shen Yuexuan to save her. Businessmen attach great importance to profit. They must only look at benefits. If they do not cooperate with Bai Ziqi, there will inevitably be a life-and-death fight. If killing her alone can ensure the safety of the whole ship, she believes they will not mind doing so.
"No matter how many women you give me, they can't compare to her." Murong Ke said lightly. "Our cooperation does not include killing my people."
When did she become Murong Ke's woman? Ye Zhen was furious, but she still resisted the urge to refute.
Bai Ziqi snorted coldly. "So, you don't want to talk about peace? I have never been knocked down by a woman. Either kill this woman or fight. "
"Are you so sure that you can beat us?" Shen Yuexuan asked with a sneer.
"With a few shipwrights on your merchant ship, do you want to fight with the people of our two ships?" Bai Ziqi snorted. "We make a living on the water. If you want to fight with us, have you thought it through?"
Murong Ke said lightly, "Didn't we catch you once? Unless you can guarantee that you will not be caught a second time, you are not qualified to sit here and negotiate. "
"Then there is nothing to talk about!" Bai Ziqi pounded the table and shouted.
"Bai Ziqi, don't forget whose hands you are still in!" Shen Yuexuan shouted angrily.
"Hmph, if you have the ability, lock me up again!" Bai Ziqi sneered and looked at Ye Zhen gloomily. "For such a woman, do you really want to fight with your life?"
Shen Yuexuan knew that they couldn't beat Bai Ziqi now. If he could choose, he would naturally rather exchange Lu Zhenzhen with Bai Ziqi. However, it seemed that Murong Ke didn't intend to do so. He looked at Murong Ke, waiting for him to make a decision.
Murong Ke's handsome face did not change in the slightest. He did not even look at Bai Ziqi. "If you hurt her, I guarantee that no one in your Bai Clan will survive."
Bai Ziqi burst into laughter. "You don't even know if you can live past tomorrow, and you still want to kill my Bai Clan?"
"Bai Ziqi, he really can." Shen Yuexuan looked at Bai Ziqi and said in a serious tone, "You don't want to know who he is. How many people in this world do you think deserve me, Shen Yuexuan, to respectfully call them Sixth Master?"
"Sixth Master, what do you think …" Bai Ziqi's ridicule came to an abrupt end. He stared at Murong Ke with his eyes wide open, speechless for a long time.
Shen Yuexuan was very satisfied to see Bai Ziqi's reaction. "Boss Bai, do you still want to fight?"
Ye Zhen listened inexplicably. What was Murong Ke's identity? How could he make Bai Ziqi so afraid? His face turned livid.
However, to be able to make Shen Yuexuan so respectful, he should not be an ordinary merchant. Besides, she had never heard of a big merchant surnamed Murong.
Bai Ziqi took a deep breath. "Well, you are the Sixth Master's woman. I dare not kill her. Then let's talk about … the map."
Murong Ke glanced at Ye Zhen faintly and whispered, "Go back to the room first."
"Let them go." Bai Ziqi shouted at his subordinates.
The two pirates looked at each other and took down the sword on Hong Ying's neck.
"Miss …" Hong Ying hurried to Ye Zhen's side and stared at the two pirates vigilantly.
"Let's go." Ye Zhen held Hong Ying's hand and turned to look at Murong Ke. When she met his dark and bright eyes, her heart sank. She hurriedly avoided his eyes and whispered to Hong Ying, "Go back to the room first."
The master and servant returned to the wing room. What happened outside was no longer known, but the pirate ship next to them kept following them, seemingly not intending to leave.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of Li Yuniang crying came from next door. Hong Ying stood up and walked to the door with Xiao Qi.
Ye Zhen knew that Li Yuniang was in danger. Bai Ziqi looked like a scholar, but he acted like a pirate leader. It was impossible for him to have any tender feelings for the fairer sex.
That map …
If she let them know that it was with her, they would not let her go.
"Miss, there's no sound outside." Hong Ying whispered.
"Don't go out tonight. Leave as soon as you go ashore tomorrow." Ye Zhen whispered. It would be best not to see these people again.
About half an hour later, the sky darkened. A bright moon hung in the middle of the sky and the water shimmered. But in the eyes of Ye Zhen, who had been watching the water for several days, this was no longer fresh. She was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery because the pirate ship was still following them.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Hong Ying immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"Miss Lu, our master asked this little one to bring you dinner." Outside, Ying Quan smiled and said.
Ye Zhen nodded to Hong Ying and opened the door to see Murong Ke's servant standing outside, looking at them with a smile.
"Miss Lu, our master said that you haven't eaten for most of the day. He asked this little one to bring you dinner." Ying Quan said politely to Ye Zhen.
"Thank your master for me." Ye Zhen said faintly, her eyes still indifferent.
Hong Ying took the food box from Ying Quan's hand. "Thank you, little brother. Take care."
Ying Quan thought that their master's vision was really strange. This little girl didn't look good at all. Why did he value her so much? "Miss Lu, our master said that if you want to go outside, it's okay. Those pirates won't dare to do anything to you."
"Okay, I see." Ye Zhen said faintly.
"Then this little one will go first." Ying Quan muttered in his heart. This little girl is really indifferent. She treats their master the same way. What is there to like about her?
After sending away Murong Ke's servant, Hong Ying immediately closed the door. She put down the food box and looked at Ye Zhen cautiously. "Miss, this Murong Ke … seems to care about you very much."
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at her. "Don't say such things in the future."
Hong Ying hurriedly covered her mouth. "Yes, Miss, this slave knows her mistake."
"Do you know who Master Liu is?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. Who in this world could make Shen Yuexuan so respectful and polite?
Hong Ying shook her head gently. "This slave has never heard of him before. Maybe … Uncle Man knows?"
