The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero

Chapter 175 The Truth of the Chaos

At this time, seeing that he had dealt with Shen Yiyi, Hong Liugong immediately showed a smug look on his face, as if everything was under control.

Seeing that the atmosphere was pretty good, Shen Yiyi immediately went to the bar and spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of strong liquor, and began to flatter this old man who thought he had her under his control.

After a few drinks, Hong Liugong lowered his voice and began to tell Shen Yiyi mysteriously about the so-called inside story of the smuggling ship, apparently trying to gain greater trust from this financial backer.

How could our Miss Shen miss such a good opportunity? While she was diligently pouring wine for the greedy old ghost, she was also trying to dig deeper into the inside story.

At this time, the old man was really drunk and began to be carefree. Anyway, what he talked about was not confidential, but some messy gossip about human relationships.

Shen Yiyi listened and memorized all the information in her mind. She thought to herself, "Although this old man is greedy, he is quite interesting. Moreover, the inside information he told me may be helpful to me in the future on this ship."

So she poured wine for Hong Liugong even more attentively, and interrupted from time to time to ask: "Master Hong, who is this person you are talking about? How is he related to this matter?"

The old man was flattered by Shen Yiyi's flattery and curious questions, and spoke even more unscrupulously.

Finally, when Hong Liugong was almost drunk, Shen Yiyi had a pretty good idea of ​​the specific situation on the ship.

It turns out that this Black Pearl-type civilian transport ship, which looks very old, was purchased by the father of the female captain Ci Pengpeng.

Most of the crew members on this ship were trusted members recruited and trained by his father himself.

Back then, when Ci Pengpeng's father was still alive, this group of people were as obedient as sheep. No one dared to go against them, and they all followed his lead.

However, things never go as planned. About half a year ago, Ci Pengpeng's father suddenly passed away due to illness, and the smuggling ship was in chaos.

As the saying goes, a bird cannot fly without a head, and a fish cannot swim without a head. Smuggling is a job that requires everyone to put their heads on the line and work together.

The old captain was very loyal to everyone back then, and Ci Pengpeng grew up on this ship, and the ship belonged to her family, so there was no problem for her to inherit the position of captain.

But unfortunately, everyone is selfish.

On this smuggling ship, there were several small groups divided according to their work types, and each small group had its own leader.

What's more, smuggling is mostly done by men. At this time, they were led by a girl who had just come of age, and these people were still a little unconvinced.

In addition, Ci Pengpeng's beauty is also well-known. Some nobles in the Riyuan Kingdom who are in charge of smuggling have long coveted her.

This time, taking advantage of the fact that Ci Pengpeng's father had passed away and no one supported her, some dirty upper-class people with dirty thoughts in their heads said: If Ci Pengpeng could spend a night with him, then their ship would be able to run rampant in the Riyuan Kingdom in the future.

How could Ci Pengpeng agree to such an unreasonable request? As a result, most of the relationships with the Riyuan Kingdom were severed, which also affected the income of the entire ship.

Therefore, it can be said that the morale of the people on this smuggling ship is low, and everyone has their own plans. It is estimated that it will fall apart in a short time.

Here, the old man Hong Liugong, after drinking a bottle of strong liquor, began to stutter, but he continued to mumble:

"Ever since that girl Ci Pengpeng took over as captain, there has never been peace on this ship. Don't look down on D'Artagnan who deliberately caused trouble for you and wanted to beat you up today. He is just a cook, but according to seniority, he is the most senior person on this ship, except for Ci Pengpeng's father and me."

At this point, Hong Liugong paused, then looked up at Shen Yiyi. At this moment, Shen Yiyi hurriedly made a cowardly expression on her face, showing that she was not convinced and angry, but dared not say a word. After seeing this, Hong Liugong burped and continued in a mocking tone:

"I knew you wouldn't accept it. Didn't you see that girl Ci Pengpeng called him Fourth Uncle? This guy is a typical ruthless person. He usually takes advantage of the food, so he is still very strong. Now there are quite a few young people who listen to him and are willing to flatter him!"

"Of course, besides this bastard D'Artagnan who wants to be the captain, there is also the current deputy captain Ping Shaluo. This guy is not a good person either. In fact, he has a high level of education. He graduated from a navigation school. He has been the deputy captain on the ship since the time of Ci Pengpeng's father, so he also has a group of confidants under him."

"If it weren't for these two people, who were unwilling to submit to each other and were competing openly and secretly, Ci Pengpeng, a girl, could take the opportunity to develop a balancing strategy. Otherwise, these bastards would have seized power long ago. Sigh, it's really hard for a girl..."

Hong Liugong raised his head and drank another glass of wine, his eyes blurred and he began to speak without restraint:

"Besides, these two damn bastards not only want this ship, they also want to take both the ship and the people on it, and make them the son-in-law of the short-lived old captain! Poor Ci Pengpeng, if she were a boy, nothing would happen to her. Even if she is a girl, even if she is ugly, it would not be a problem. But now... Alas, beauty is misleading, beauty is misleading!"

"Oh my god...!" When Miss Shen heard this, she couldn't help but recall the barbaric appearance of the bald cook d'Artagnan. Then she thought carefully about Ping Shaluo's upturned garlic nose wearing the deputy captain's uniform, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

These two things look exactly the same, except that one is uniquely ugly, and the other is crudely ugly.

No matter which one of them is paired with a beauty like Ci Pengpeng, it would be like cooking a crane and burning the piano, a cow chewing a peony, or Quasimodo being paired with Esmeralda!

Thinking of this, our Miss Shen sympathized with Ci Pengpeng's situation, but at the same time became more and more worried about Talkoko.

Right now is a time of chaos and war. Whether it is leading the Orange Army behind enemy lines or disguising and infiltrating the middle and high-level officials of the Riyuan Kingdom, it must be very difficult for Talkoko, who looks like a loli.

Although this good friend never told her what missions she had performed, in Shen Yiyi's opinion, they were nothing more than some peripheral tasks such as transmitting intelligence.

This kind of mission of fighting in the heart of the enemy is simply not suitable for her!

If anything goes wrong with Talkoko because of this matter, then I really... won't be at peace even if I die!
