But she was not familiar with these sailors, and the captain, Mr. Kong, had not returned yet, so she might not be able to mobilize them.
Wei Yan saw that the princess was mingling with the sailors at this time, so she could only tell her first, and then ask her to tell the sailors, maybe the sailors would agree.
Wei Yan thought this, then walked to the princess and asked: "Zhizhi, come here."
"What's the matter? I'm busy?" Princess Qingying asked unconcernedly.
"There is something important." Wei Yan said seriously again.
"What's the important thing? Let's wait until the stingy guys come back. I'm going to kill them all now! How about you come and play a few games?" The princess was obviously still in high spirits, and she really looked like a gangster. .
"It's about..." Wei Yan said, but suddenly stopped talking. Apparently she felt that there were too many people here, so she couldn't speak clearly. Wei Yan couldn't move the princess, and she suddenly felt anxious. So she went to check around the merchant ship. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual for the time being. If there is an enemy, everyone is gambling at this moment, and there is no time to take precautions, and the enemy will definitely attack successfully.
Wei Yan had no choice but to go back and tell the princess what she thought. But as soon as she turned around, the princess was already standing behind her.
"Sister Wei, what's wrong?" the princess asked.
It turned out that the princess didn't pay much attention to it before and only focused on gambling. But later she saw that Wei Yan was hesitant to speak and looked a little nervous. She also went around the merchant ship to check the environment. It seemed that something important was really important, so she finally got interested.
"You guys play first, Hua'er will take over for me. I have something to do." The princess said, then stood up and came out of the crowd.
"Miss Wu, what can happen to you? Why don't you continue gambling, since the old man hasn't come back yet." A sailor who lost money shouted.
Naturally, these sailors didn't know that Zhizhi was the princess of the dynasty, and the princess also called herself Wu and Zhizhi, so the sailors naturally called her "Miss Wu."
"Bah! Are you in charge of your daughter's family affairs?" the princess spat.
"Then you have to let me take care of it! Haha!" the sailor joked.
Zhizhi was not angry after hearing this. She sneaked up behind the sailor, punched the man in the head and said, "What are you thinking about? The toad wants to eat swan meat. Bet your money on it!"
"Ouch! Miss Wu, I don't dare anymore." The man was obviously hurt by the beating and had to beg for mercy.
The princess then walked behind Wei Yan. When Wei Yan saw her coming, she didn't say anything, but handed the note left by Master Sun to Zhizhi.
After reading it, Zhizhi said with a little worry: "Will the stingy guy and Master be okay?"
"Don't worry! They have great martial arts skills, and the Fifth Young Hero has few opponents. Master Sun is also superb in Taoism. Most people can't help them. However, we must protect ourselves first. We must not go out before they come back. It's over." Wei Yan analyzed.
The princess is just playful, but she is not stupid, and she is also very clever. Seeing that Wei Yan was right, she made a decision immediately, turned around and said loudly to the sailors: "Don't play around, everyone should go back to their respective positions, prepare to weigh the anchor, and get ready to sail the ship."
"But the master hasn't come back yet." A sailor said unhappily.
"It's because Master Kong didn't come back. Now you all have to listen to me." The princess is a princess after all, and she is unreasonable and very domineering.
"Why? We all listen to the master." Several sailors said unconvinced.
When the princess saw this, she was not angry, she just walked over happily, but suddenly kicked one of the people who had just spoken to the ground, and then laughed and said: "Just now, all your hard-earned money is in my pocket. Everyone listen, everyone who listens to my words will take back the money they lost, and each person can also get five taels of silver more, and then lift anchor and prepare to sail. In case Mr. Kong and the others can't come back before dark, we can't be here Just sit there and wait for death, you must leave as soon as possible.”
Most of the sailors lost their money. Now that Zhizhi said this, not only could they get their money back, but they could also receive an extra five taels, so they were naturally very happy. Moreover, they all felt that Zhizhi was right. If Mr. Kong doesn't return before dark, it means something has probably happened, and they must not wait to die on the shore.
All the sailors went to Hua'er to receive their silver, and they all got five taels more. The sailor who was kicked down by Zhizhi just now also wanted to run to collect the money, but Zhizhi immediately stopped him and said: "I just said that those who obey can get their money back. If you are disobedient, that does not include it." you!"
"Hey! Miss Wu, please be obedient, please be obedient. Please don't forget the faults of others. Please return the money to me!" The sailor could only apologize with a smile.
"Are you obedient?" Zhizhi asked.
"Be obedient, indeed," replied the sailor.
"Okay! Hua'er, return the silver. However, he can only receive two more taels of silver." Zhizhi then said to her "butler".
"Okay." Hua'er said, counted the money and returned it to the boy.
It's just that while others received five taels more, this young man only received two taels, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they were dissatisfied and said in their hearts: "Miss Wu, why is this?"
"Huh! Why? Because you just teased me." Zhizhi laughed and scolded.
"No! It's unfair! What's the matter?" The sailor still refused.
"If you still talk back, if you don't get out, you won't even get a tael of silver." Hua'er hurriedly stepped forward to drive away the sailor and said.
"Haha! You deserve it, who kept your mouth shut?" The young man was driven back by Hua'er, which immediately attracted another round of ridicule.
Of course Wei Yan knew that Zhizhi was joking with these sailors. However, she still admired the princess very much. A princess could make these men of the world docile, something she could never do.
These sailors have been sailing with Mr. Kong since they were young. They have traveled north and south and have seen a lot of the world. Although they are not very young, they can be regarded as veterans of the world. They are only on the thin line between them and the rogues in the world. To deal with extraordinary people, extraordinary methods must be used. It is difficult for anyone else, except Mr. Kong, to mobilize these people. Zhizhi knows exactly what they like, and that is money. Once you capture their thoughts, you will naturally be able to subdue them.
Wei Yan suddenly understood that Zhizhi asking them to gamble seemed to have been premeditated. Firstly, she did it for fun, but more importantly, she wanted to use tricks to subdue them.
"It's really yours! They all listen to you obediently." Wei Yan couldn't help but praise.
"What's the point? Those eunuchs and maids in the palace have more thoughts and are more difficult to deal with than them, but when they see me one by one, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. I tell them to go east, but no one dares to go west." Zhizhi said proudly.
"Of course! You are a princess! Who dares not to listen to you?" Wei Yan replied with a smile.
"No! I have traveled all over the world, and no one has ever been able to bully me among those street gangsters. I was the only one who bullied them." Zhizhi continued to show off.
"Haha! You don't look like a princess at all. You are simply a demon king." After hearing this, Wei Yan became even more happy.
"Hey! My queen mother said the same thing, and you said the same thing as her." Zhizhi said proudly.
