Xiao Qin wandered around the beach for a day and finally found the dead man mentioned in Yan Shifan's letter and got the code.
This dead man is very special. His kung fu is average and he has never done anything important for Yan Shifan, but he is the person Yan Shifan trusts the most.
Because he was once alone, driving an inconspicuous medium-sized cargo ship, traveling to and from Japan many times. This requires not only strong sailing skills, but also good luck.
He was the escape route reserved by Yan Shifan, but unfortunately Yan Shifan failed to use it. He gave this route to Xiao Qin, hoping that Xiao Qin, the angelic elder sister, could vent his anger for him.
The dead man was a middle-aged man with a dull face, and his red and black skin looked like he had been blown by the sea breeze from running around on the sea all year round.
He didn't ask Xiao Qin at all why he kept Miss Yun, who was still silent and silently crying, just asked.
"Are you leaving now? The investigation has been very strict recently. We have to leave before dark."
Xiao Qin nodded: "There is another person, he should have arrived a long time ago. I originally wanted to leave separately, but now there is no need."
Night fell, the waning moon was like a hook, and the sea was dark. The cargo ship took advantage of the cover of night and was quietly pushed into the sea.
Then the dead man and a few of his men began to rock the oar and push the ship forward. When it was some distance away from the shore, it began to raise the black sail, which was extremely hidden in the night.
When the sky got brighter, Xiao Qin walked out of the cabin and looked at the vast sea with mixed emotions.
Although it was safe to leave the Ming Dynasty, there were obviously many opportunities to compete in the Central Plains, but now they were completely defeated and forced to flee. Naturally, they were very angry.
But Yan Shifan left himself a legacy and team. After arriving in Japan, he can make a comeback! What's more, using your own intelligence and martial arts, wouldn't it be a dimension-reducing blow to the Japanese?
Wang Zhi can become a big shot in Japan, which shows that the Japanese are very frustrated. How difficult is it for him to lead Japan to counterattack the Ming Dynasty?
Just as he was thinking about it, the dead soldier suddenly raised the telescope in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, go back to the cabin! It's the Ming Dynasty's patrol ship!"
The sea was very wide, but Daming's patrol boats, in groups of three, quickly approached the cargo ship and immediately ordered the cargo ship to stop for inspection.
The cargo ship stopped, and Xiao Qin peeked out from the cabin, assessing the balance of power between the two sides.
The opponent's three patrol boats are all larger than cargo ships. There are at least fifty people on each boat, and the three boats are more than one hundred and fifty people.
The dead soldiers on his ship and the eight shipmen were of average skill, and the only real masters were himself and Xiao Wuji. It was extremely difficult to kill one hundred and fifty shipmen who had been pirates.
But this is not the key, but the dead man told him that Daming's patrol ship had fireworks to alert the police. If a battle broke out, nearby ships would come to the rescue.
The patrol boat is faster than the cargo ship. If it really follows the fireworks, it will definitely not be enough to kill all three ships in this time.
Xiao Qin gritted his teeth and said: "There are so many ships in the vast sea, why did they stop us?"
The dead man knew that Xiao Qin didn't know much about sea matters: "Mr. Xiao, although the sea is big, there are only a few routes suitable for sailing.
This is naturally formed by the wind direction, the undercurrent of the sea water, and the reefs and islands. If you don't follow the route, you will die in the storm even though you won't hit the patrol boat!
Originally, the route I chose was already very far away, but I didn’t expect that there were still patrol boats operating. It seemed that patrols were very strict during this period! "
At this time, one of the patrol boats had approached the cargo ship and lowered the gangplank. Xiao Qin originally thought that if a leader came on board, he could still find a way to hijack it.
But only two soldiers came off the patrol ship, and the dead man called everyone on the deck for inspection. If you dare to hide a person, you will have to drag the boat back and judge the crime.
The cargo ship was not very big, and Xiao Qin knew that it was impossible for the three of them to hide without showing up. He immediately put Miss Yun on the bed in the cabin, and walked out of the cabin with Xiao Wuji wearing bamboo hats.
Xiao Qin took out two ingots of silver from her arms and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the two soldiers who got on the boat: "Brother, my wife is sick and it's really inconvenient for you to get up. It's convenient for you two to just take a look inside."
The two soldiers got the money, but they were reasonable and went to the cabin to take a look. Seeing Miss Yun looking at the sky with tears streaming down her face, she looked like she was indeed sick, so she withdrew.
Just when Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, the two soldiers suddenly shouted.
"Young captain, we found it! Miss Yun is on this boat! We have seen Miss Yun on the island before, we will not admit her mistake!"
Xiao Qin was shocked, but knowing that killing these two soldiers at this time was meaningless and would only increase resentment, she just looked at Xiao Wuji and was ready to take action.
Mao Haifeng appeared from the bow of the ship and looked at the people on the deck of the cargo ship. His voice was filled with joy and the jealousy of a licking dog towards his love rival.
"Since Miss Yun is on the boat, Mr. Xiao Qin must be there too. Why hide your head and show your tail? It's not like we have never met before."
Xiao Qin took off his bamboo hat and smiled calmly: "Young Captain, we have not seen each other for a long time. Young Captain's demeanor is as good as before. It's a pity that he has changed from a hegemon who dominates the sea to a hawk of the imperial court."
Mao Haifeng sneered and said: "That seems to be better than Mr. Xiao Qin, who went from a White Lotus Holy Envoy with hands and eyes to the sky, to a bereaved dog running for his life in a hurry."
Xiao Qin was not angry at all, and her smile was warm and genial: "Young Captain, we are both fallen people in the world, so why should we hate each other? I'm just worried about Young Captain."
Mao Haifeng frowned: "I surrendered to the imperial court with my adoptive father. My adoptive father was awarded the title of Third-rank Zhenhai General. I also have the rank of Fourth-rank Military General. How can I be called a fallen person from the end of the world like you?"
Xiao Qin shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Feng created the Ming Dynasty Navy, which is bright and dark. He successively recruited Wang Zhi and Xu Hai to surrender, and made them wary of each other.
This is the brilliance of Xiao Feng. He used two fleets to check and balance each other and buy time. When the imperial court's own Daming Navy is completed, it will inevitably be unloaded and killed. "
Mao Haifeng's heart was moved, but then he shook his head and said: "Master Xiao is not that kind of person. My adoptive father has traveled all over the world. What storms and waves have he never seen? He will see the wrong person?
What's more, as an adopted son, I should advance and retreat with my adopted father. If he is really wrong, I can only accept my fate, and there is nothing to say. "
Xiao Qin smiled and said: "You are very affectionate, but it's a pity that Wang Zhi doesn't have a biological son. His wife and son are living well in Hangzhou.
If he is wrong about Xiao Feng, you will have to accompany him to the execution ground in the future; if he is right about Xiao Feng, his success in the future will be his own son's business, and you will be nothing more than a domestic slave. "
Mao Haifeng was furious: "Fart, if you have time to worry about me, you should worry about your own affairs. Someone, hook up the cargo ship, drag it back to the shore, and hand it over to the government!"
Xiao Qin sighed: "Young captain, do you know where I am going?"
Mao Haifeng said: "Master Xiao said that you would go to Japan, so I led the fleet to patrol several routes in this direction day and night, and finally waited for you!"
Xiao Qin nodded: "He is right, but do you know why I want to go to Japan?"
Mao Haifeng stopped talking. Xiao Feng didn't tell him anything more. He only told him that Miss Yun and Xiao Qin were together.
Moreover, the results of the word test showed that during this meeting, he was likely to renew his relationship with Miss Yun. This was enough. What more bicycles were needed?
"I went to Japan because Yan Shifan left me a huge wealth. You know me. With my ability, no one in Japan can match it.
I appreciate that you are a talented person. You take these boats and follow me to Japan. You and I will be sworn brothers. I will give it to you, Miss Yun!
Japan is in troubled times now. If we have money, people and strategies, we will definitely be able to unify Japan. Then use Japan as the foundation to wipe out the islands in the sea!
From now on, we can advance to attack and retreat to defend! Contact the four forces to counterattack the Ming Dynasty!
If things come to pass, you and I will share the world equally! Even if things fail, we will return to Japan and continue to wait patiently.
Japan is not small anymore, you and I can still live like an emperor. Isn't it better for you to have a beautiful woman in your arms and hold the power than to live in depression for a long time? "
Mao Haifeng hesitated. Xiao Qin's words were really very tempting. He dared not say that he was not tempted, because Xiao Qin understood human nature too well.
Back at sea, Wang Zhi lived a life without a home and could not return, and he regarded himself as his own child.
But now Wang Zhi is a general of the Ming Dynasty, and he will go back to his home in Hangzhou for a few days every time he docks.
Every time he comes back, Wang Zhi is full of praise for his biological son. This is the nature of father and son, and no one can separate him.
Although Wang Zhi did not forget to give himself an official position, the status of military attachés in the Ming Dynasty was already low, and so far, the navy has been somewhat unfair in naming names, so this official position is a bit embarrassing.
If it is true, as Xiao Qin said, that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's own navy, Xiao Feng killed the donkey, Wang Zhi and himself would not only find it difficult to make progress, but might also suffer disaster.
Even if Xiao Feng is a man of character and would not do such a thing, the direct troops of the Ming Dynasty Navy are definitely more trustworthy than the two surrendered troops, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai.
It's like a biological son is better than a godson at any time. Wang Zhi did this to himself, and the Ming court treated Wang Zhi and Xu Hai the same way.
What he is thinking about most is Miss Yun. If Xiao Qin is really willing to give Miss Yun to him, then even if he is not a general, it would be good to retire and become a rich man.
But in the Ming Dynasty, if he wanted to go into seclusion, his adoptive father would probably not agree because he lacked helpers. Moreover, the imperial court will keep a close eye on surrendered generals.
Would Japan be a good choice? Mao Haifeng was not naive enough to think that Xiao Qin would really share the world with him, but Wang Zhi was very respected in Japan, and he was not without industry.
Mao Haifeng helped handle many of Wang Zhi's affairs in Japan, and he also had certain connections.
When I arrived in Japan, if I got along with Xiao Qin, I would get along. If I couldn’t get along, I would separate. I would live a good life with Miss Yun. I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals...
Xiao Qin looked at Mao Haifeng with a smile. She could feel the small gears in his head spinning rapidly, and she was secretly proud of herself.
His ability to persuade people has always been strong, even Xiao Feng is slightly inferior to him in this aspect. Judging from Mao Haifeng's expression, it seems likely that this will happen.
Moreover, Xiao Qin's sincerity is not pretended, it comes from the heart. Most of what he says is sincere, except for dividing the world equally in the future.
Miss Yun now only hates herself but does not love her. She gave her up to Mao Haifeng and suffered no loss at all.
Although he has the legacy left by Yan Shifan, his manpower is limited after all. If he wants to unify Japan and counterattack the Ming Dynasty, the more manpower the better.
Mao Haifeng is also a talented person. If he can bring a few ships with him to Japan, he will suddenly have a lot more manpower. What's more, Mao Haifeng is also very familiar with Japan, so he is definitely the best help!
When Xiao Qin was waiting for Mao Haifeng to nod, Mao Haifeng's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and the pinion made a click and stopped.
Xiao Qin's heart skipped a beat. She knew it was going to be bad, but she didn't know which part had the problem.
"'Now' means 'mind' if it contains 'mind', and if 'mind' is replaced with 'bei', it becomes 'greed'.
If you really meet Xiao Qin as the word test says, remember to only think about your sweetheart, treat people as your treasures, and don't be greedy. Otherwise, I'm afraid that both people and money will be lost, and there will be no recovery! "
Mao Haifeng wiped the cold sweat from his face, thinking about what Xiao Feng said to him, and felt a wave of fear.
"Xiao Qin, you don't need to be so glib! If you want to flee to Japan, Miss Yun will be rebellious by following you. I won't let you take her away!
As for whether you can leave, that's not my decision! Come on, let’s set off fireworks! "
Xiao Qin did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse in an instant. He and Xiao Wuji looked at each other, and Xiao Wuji twisted his lips to indicate whether to take action.
Xiao Qin's mind was spinning rapidly, and finally she shook her head slightly: "Miss Yun is Mao Haifeng's lifeblood, as long as she is in his hands, he will not dare to act rashly.
He was afraid that we would suddenly attack him, so he called in helpers. They should also have muskets on board.
We can't defeat the people of these three ships now, and we won't be able to defeat the three ships again. Just wait and see what happens, the sea is no better than the land, and we have nowhere to escape. "
Fireworks lit up, and after a while, three more patrol boats came from a distance. After approaching, six boats surrounded Xiao Qin's cargo ship.
A man walked up to the bow of one of the boats and looked at Xiao Qin with a smile: "Brother Qin, are you okay?"
Xiao Qin gritted her teeth and was unwilling to pay attention to him, but the other party was in control of the situation at this time, so she had to snort.
Mao Haifeng repeated Xiao Qin's remarks to seduce him, and then patted his chest at Xiao Feng in an upright manner.
"Master Xiao, this official is not tempted at all! How can such rebellious ministers and traitors seduce this official in the slightest? That is absolutely impossible!"
Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Qin with a smile: "Brother Qin, you are extremely skilled in martial arts and you have Xiao Wuji by your side. Why didn't you fight to the death just now?
Could it be that after running all the way, the injury hasn’t healed yet? I think your White Lotus Sect branch has almost been dispersed, right?
Have you seen the movie with the two of you as the male protagonists? What did you think? Are you satisfied with the script I wrote? Are there any incorrect details that need to be corrected? "
Xiao Wu was so angry that he clenched his fists loudly. He wanted to jump on the bow of the boat and strangle Xiao Feng to death. Xiao Qin was very calm and smiled slightly at Xiao Feng.
"Brother Feng, you and I have a deep grudge. We have been fighting so far. This is the best opportunity you have ever had to kill me. Why haven't you done it yet?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Are you the longevity star who hangs himself? Do you think you have a long life? Or are you frustrated because you have failed in your big things and have lost all interest in life?
No, you are Yan Shifan’s designated heir. No one else can find it or know how to inherit it except you. You don’t want to die.
You are testing me to see if I dare to take action, right? On Gu Shen Mountain, you have Gu Yue'er in your hand. Now, what do you have? "
Xiao Qin looked at Mao Haifeng: "I have Miss Yun, but I don't think you will care about this. You have never been interested in Miss Yun.
Although Mao Haifeng loves Miss Yun dearly, he is just a subordinate. How could you miss the opportunity to kill me for a mere woman who has been subordinated? "
Mao Haifeng looked at Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng didn't look at him. He just looked at Xiao Qin with a smile and clapped his hands gently.
"Brother Qin, you are so clever. These two sentences of yours may seem simple, but they actually contain hidden secrets.
If I ignore Miss Yun's life and insist on killing you, it means that I look down on Mao Haifeng and don't take his woman seriously.
Mao Haifeng has been provoked by you just now. Now he sees that I really don't take him seriously. In anger, he might fall out with me.
Maybe I can take the boat with you to Japan. Even if he doesn't dare, he will inevitably resent me in the future.
So even if I want to kill you, I may not dare to do it now on this sea. Is this what you have in mind? "
Mao Haifeng was shocked. Thinking of what Xiao Feng said yesterday, he quickly lowered his head and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. I must not dare to have any different intentions!"
Xiao Qin felt cold. He really wanted Xiao Feng to worry about Mao Haifeng's betrayal, so he didn't dare to act decisively.
But I don't know what kind of medicine Xiao Feng gave Mao Haifeng in advance, but Mao Haifeng didn't even dare to have any intention of trying hard.
It stands to reason that this is at sea, and the fleet is all under his command. Mao Haifeng shouldn't be so cowardly!
If Xiao Feng was sure that Mao Haifeng did not dare to rebel, he could completely ignore Miss Yun's life and death, and he would be doomed today...
"Let Miss Yun go, I can consider sparing your life."
Xiao Qin suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Feng with distrust, and Xiao Feng smiled lightly.
"What? Don't believe me? I've told you that I stick to my word. You'd better not have any doubts when I make a deal with you again.
Besides, now, do you have the right to doubt? Even if I don't make a deal with you, what can you do? "
Xiao Qin thought for a while and realized that he really didn't have any other bargaining chips at this time, but he still wanted to confirm.
"Brother Feng, of course I believe you are trustworthy. But after all, Miss Yun is the only bargaining chip in my hand, so I have to be cautious.
Do you dare to swear in front of everyone on these six ships that as long as I let Miss Yun go, you will let me go? "
Xiao Feng said calmly: "You can leave, but not Xiao Wuji. He has to stay. I promised others that I would kill him!"
Xiao Qin was stunned: "No, Xiao Wuji is like a close relative of flesh and blood to me, he must go with me!"
Xiao Feng sneered and said: "Then there is no need to discuss. Come here, aim the muzzle at the cargo ship, follow my orders, and prepare to fire!"
Mao Haifeng was shocked and looked at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng gave him a cold look, with warning and trust in his eyes. Mao Haifeng gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Xiao Qin panicked, he could see that even if Xiao Feng was really destroyed and Miss Yun was reduced to rubbish, Mao Haifeng really didn't dare to fight back.
As a result, his bargaining chip was devalued again. His thoughts turned around and he turned to look at Xiao Wuji.
"Uncle Wuji, don't worry, if we die, we will die together! I will never betray you!"
Xiao Wuji looked up to the sky and smiled: "Master, I am not young anymore, this life is worth it!
I have sold my life to the Xiao family all my life, and I will sell it again today for the last time! "
Xiao Qin turned away sadly, nodded slightly after a long time, and said loudly.
"Xiao Feng, so many people are listening, you have to be trustworthy!"
Xiao Feng nodded: "Mao Haifeng, take someone to take Miss Yun to your boat. Xiao Wuji, come on my boat."
Brother Qin, then your cargo ship can leave. The vast sea, I hope you reach Japan safely, but don’t feed the bastard on the way! "
