He asked, "What's your name? Introduce yourself."

"My surname is Gou, my nickname is Gou Daner, and my full name is Gou Fugui. I have been a crew member for half a year.

My family is poor, but I have some strength, so I applied to be an overseas crew member of the Li family.

I originally thought that life at sea was boring, with no vegetables, lack of fresh water, and very dangerous.

Unexpectedly, after getting on board, my life was even more carefree than that of a rich man.

There are sixteen people in my family, young and old, and they never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear.

Ever since the younger one received his first month's salary, my family has been able to have enough food to eat.

Thank you for your kindness in giving my family a new life. I will work hard in the future and live up to the opportunity you have given me."

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Work hard. As long as you abide by your duties, you will receive wages and rewards in the future."

Gou Fugui nodded quickly in agreement.

At this time, Liu Wan'er came over with two maids and was a little confused when she saw this scene.

Li Ping'an explained it to her, and Liu Wan'er chuckled, "This Gou Dan is quite clever, and is really suitable for training.

When he is mature and steady, he can practice as a shopkeeper for a few more years, and then it all depends on his luck.”

Gou Daner continued his work embarrassedly. After processing a large squid, he went to clean and cut it.

There were still several large squids that needed to be processed, and he had to hurry, otherwise he would delay the chef's dinner preparation.

Afterwards, Liu Wan'er and Li Ping'an stood on the deck, admiring the afterglow on the sea while talking about business matters.

The moment the setting sun fell into the horizon, it was as if half of the red sun sank into the water, instantly dyeing the nearby sea red.

Liu Wan'er couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery again, and inadvertently moved closer to Li Ping'an.

Li Pingan tilted his head slightly, looking at Lin Wan'er's slightly red cheeks and excited smile, thinking of his fiancée whom he hadn't seen for a few days. He didn't know what Lin Yue was doing now?

This scene happened to be seen by Gou Daner, who covered his mouth and laughed secretly. However, he was accidentally poked in the eye by the squid tentacles, and the pain made him cry.

He didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only curse quietly: "You damn thing, you come to bully me? I'm going to chop you into meat paste and make squid balls later."

Gou Daner looked so funny that Liu Waner couldn't help laughing.

The undisguised voice was clear and pleasant, and she was startled by her own defenseless mentality. She quickly stopped laughing and looked up at Li Ping'an's eyes.

Li Ping'an didn't have any extra expression. His eyes seemed to be looking at her, but not looking at her, as if he was looking at another person through her.

Lin Wan'er asked tentatively: "Prince Li, have you discovered my secret a long time ago?"

Li Ping'an nodded slightly and responded with "hmm", and that was all.

Lin Yue mustered up her courage and begged Li Ping'an: "Your Highness, you are truly a compassionate Bodhisattva who didn't expose my secret. Then I would ask Your Highness to continue to help me keep this secret, please, please!"

Li Pingan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can help you keep the secret, but you have to do something for me." Liu Wan'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What does the prince want me to do?"

Li Pingan looked at the sea with deep eyes, "I want you to work with Master Jin and King Jing to develop the business here, so that more ordinary people can live a good life."

Liu Wan'er was a little surprised. She didn't expect such a request, but she nodded and agreed. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to complete Your Majesty's instructions."

Li Ping'an curled his lips and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be polite. You should think about how to keep the secret in front of Mr. Jin and King Jing. The debt of love is the most difficult to repay. If you don't make up your mind, you will suffer the consequences."

It was the first time that Liu Wan'er heard Li Ping'an say such a long sentence, and it was words of persuasion to her.

She suddenly felt that Li Ping'an was not actually scary. Instead, he was a gentleman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and had very stable emotions.

It's a pity that I don't dare to touch it, and I have no chance to touch it. Liu Wan'er looked up into Li Ping'an's eyes, nodded seriously, and expressed her gratitude.

Just then, a strange ship came quickly from the distance. The people on board were dressed strangely and looked aggressive.

Li Pingan frowned and ordered the crew to prepare for defense. Liu Wan'er also put away her thoughts and waited for the battle with everyone else.

Li Ping'an ordered the two maids: "Take your Master Liu into the cabin and hide. Don't come out either."

Before Liu Wan'er could take a look at the situation, she was dragged away by two maids.

The men on the deck were armed and ready for battle.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, several fireballs were thrown out from the ship and hit Li Pingan and his ship.

For a moment, sparks flew above the deck, and Li Ping'an protected his big ship with a protective magic circle.

Then it quickly flew to the other two large ships and protected them with protective magic circles.

Gou Daner didn't bother to deal with the squid, and picked up his weapon to join the defense team. He was afraid that the transparent film would suddenly break, and they would have to fight the pirates with real swords and guns. It was the first time he encountered such rampant pirates in half a year of sailing. Although he was a little scared, he was more excited.

The fighting spirit in the blood of the men on the ship was aroused, and their eyes were determined, ready to meet this sudden challenge.

The fireball hit the protective magic circle with a loud bang, but it couldn't break through.

Seeing that the fireballs were useless, the pirates took out their bows and crossbows and shot at the ship.

The arrows were as dense as raindrops, but they were still blocked by the magic circle.

At this time, the pirate ship approached, and a group of ferocious pirates holding sharp blades were ready to jump onto the ship.

The new crew members who had never seen such a scene and the servants who boarded the ship with the cargo were both scared and excited. They held their weapons tightly, ready to fight at any time.

The old sailor shouted, "Don't panic, they can't get up. The master has set up a protective array for our ship, and ordinary people can't destroy it. Don't be nervous."

The most nervous people at this time were Jin Gongzi and Jing Mao. Just now, several fireballs flew onto their ship. Just as all the crew members were preparing to fight, Li Pingan suddenly appeared, and then those fireballs could no longer land on the big ship.

Afterwards, the rain of arrows was also blocked halfway.

At this time, Li Pingan was flying in the air. He said to the people on the big ship, "Everyone, don't worry, continue to prepare dinner. After I deal with these pirates, everyone will start eating."

So all the personnel on the three large ships, through the thin energy shield, saw with their own eyes how Li Ping'an used magic to make more than 20 fishing boats spin like gyroscopes on the sea.

The people who had just boarded the ship asked in confusion: "Why did Prince Li, who has such powerful magic, not sink those ships directly, but instead let them circle in the sea?"

The old crew member was responsible for answering the question, saying that our master was kind and merciful, and he would not kill anyone easily.

Those fishing boats are also the means of survival for sea dwellers, and they are even the homes of some fishermen.

Although they were pirates, their masters could not bear to kill them directly, so they made their fishing boats circle in the sea as a way of teaching them a lesson.

If these people are teachable and can repent, then they and their families will be given a chance to live.

If they are truly uncorruptible and extremely vicious, then just kill them and it will be considered as getting rid of harm to the people.
