A fortune ship with a broken mast sailed slowly on the sea.
The sailors shouted chants and waved their oars vigorously for several hours, as if they were tireless.
The deck of the Fuchuan was broken in many places and had to be carefully nailed together with planks of wood.
In the early hours of the morning, a dazed giant whale jumped out of the water and crashed into the ill-fated broken ship.
This disaster caused a huge dent in the port side of the collision. Fortunately, there was no danger, there was no calm, and the seawater could not pour in, otherwise everyone would be buried in the belly of the fish.
The second shopkeeper, Qian Mei, was lying on the side of the ship, looking at the scarred fortune ship with a look of despair on her face.
During this trip to sea, he suffered a heavy loss, losing most of his money and cargo, and two sailors died.
Not far away on the deck, Han Chao, a large cabinet, acted like a normal person and was still chatting with the group of rebels.
The second shopkeeper spat into the sea, cursed and returned to the cabin.
"When the ship docks, I will never go to sea again."
Everyone on the deck leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, with miserable expressions on their faces.
An old man with white beard and hair pointed forward, energetically, turned around and said to the person who just spoke:
"Brother Shen is a chivalrous man and has such good martial arts. Why do you want to go into seclusion? Why don't you go back to Liaodong with me and help Marquis Ping Liao do something great together!"
"Oh. Marquis Ping Liao can do great things without any help."
Shen Lian shook his head.
Yang Hao came to be a lobbyist again.
He had heard words like this countless times in the past few days.
It seems that it is very strange to retreat into the world.
Everyone wants to ask him, why?
Why should I go into seclusion?
Because my mother is old, because I am tired of killing, and because he has her.
Shen Lian held Miss Annan's hand with one hand and supported his mother with the other, walking happily across the deck. The three of them pointed at the sea and chatted all over the world.
Shen Lian and his wife held Cai Lian's little hand and hesitated, not knowing what they were talking about. Cai Lian laughed loudly and regarded this foreign woman as his daughter-in-law.
"Why don't the brothers go back to the bilge to rest? Dong Han's family said that if the wind is favorable, they can return to Shandong in the future."
Pei Dahu, Wu Xiao, Lu Jianxing, and Zhao Yuanzhi all rolled their eyes at Shen Lian and turned their heads to the side, too lazy to pay attention to this person who valued sex over friends.
Shen Lian didn't care at all.
At this time, a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen was young and romantic. Just like me back then, I also had a few beauties... But, are you going to leave that temple if you want to?"
Yang Hao supported the side of the boat and stood facing the wind. He carefully combed his hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and his thoughts returned to a far away place.
"The rivers and lakes? You can't escape the blood and blood of the rivers and lakes. You are not used to the killings in the temples, so you dare to say that you can withstand the blood and rain of the rivers and lakes? Mr. Pei..."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, I am now President Qian."
Pei Dahu frowned, the scar on his face was shaking, he glared at Shen Lian and said nothing.
He lost another general under his command, and he didn't know how to explain it to Marquis Pingliao after returning to Kaiyuan.
In the past few hours, he and Wu Xiao had stared at the sea, hoping to see Lin Yu's figure, even if it was just the body of big man Lin?
However, nothing was seen.
Lin Yu pulled the broken sail and disappeared into a vast thunderstorm.
If he hadn't been swallowed by a shark, he might have traveled to another parallel space.
Pei Dahu looked up at Yang Hao.
"What are Yang Jinglue's orders?"
In his eyes, Yang Hao was always the Liaodong manager who commanded tens of millions of troops.
"How can you go and persuade that young man? He is young and doesn't want to make achievements, but he is greedy for the love of his children."
Pei Dahu looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak, the sailor's voice came from the pole:
"The Japanese red seal ship! It's coming to us! It's coming so fast!"
Everyone stood up, and the sailors at the oars immediately adjusted the hull, turning the hull sideways, and pointed the two French cannons in the direction of the Zhuyin ship.
Two sailors climbed up the mast and changed the position of the sail. Fortunately, they only had two sails left, making the operation much easier than usual.
Five miles away, the Zhuyin Ship was approaching the Fortune Ship at a rapid speed. The Zhuyin Ship was obviously much smaller than their Fortune Ship. Its sails were filled with wind and it was traveling very fast, following the Fortune Ship like a vicious wolf.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhuyin Ship was running diagonally parallel to the Fu Ship, and the distance between the two ships was less than two miles.
Han Chao climbed up the observation pole and shouted orders from above, asking the sailors to prepare for the battle.
"What? Are you going to start a fight before you even see the people on the boat?"
Lu Jianxing looked at the busy sailors beside him in surprise.
Shopkeeper Qian Er’s eyes glowed and he shouted strangely at the sailors:
"Hook them with the flying claws later! If we rob the Japanese, we won't lose money on this trip!"
Pei Dahu was about to help Yang Hao to hide in the bilge, but the old man pushed him away.
"I saw a lot of them in Korea back then. These Japanese red-seal ships and pirates are undoubtedly murderous. Now that you've seen them, don't even think about escaping. Give me a blunderbuss!"
"Yang Jinglue, the Japanese are cruel and their swords have no eyes, but you still..."
Yang Hao said angrily:
"Back then in Pyongyang, I had to beat up tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. I was still afraid that these few pirates would fail! I am old and can't carry a heavy sword, but I can still shoot guns later!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Pei Dahu had no choice but to take a fine long-barreled gun from the guard, handed it to Yang Hao, and stepped forward to teach Yang Jinglue how to load it.
Yang Hao grabbed the gun and said angrily:
"I have been on the battlefield and know how to use it!" Pei Dahu smiled and nodded, and everyone around him looked at Yang Hao with respect. Pei Dahu occupied a position with a good viewing angle on the port side near the bow, and asked Yang Hao to stay here.
"Yang Jinglue, take care of yourself! Let's go back to Liaodong together and make great achievements!"
Yang Haochong watched the loyal guard under Marquis Pingliao go away, holding the gun in his hand tightly, his gray beard trembling in the wind.
Various weapons on the deck were clashing and pinging, and the sailors had already begun preparations. They took spears, hooks, flying claws and other objects to the port side and put them away. They helped each other and put the locks they picked up in Zhangjiagang a few days ago. The armor is worn on the body. Then he took out the muskets, bows and arrows hidden in the bilge.
Seeing these sailors turn into pirates in the blink of an eye, Wu Xiao was so shocked that he could only think of thieves from the northwest.
"The thieves of the sea."
Wu Xiao murmured softly.
Pei Dahu glanced at the Zhuyin Ship approaching in the distance and said loudly to everyone:
"Fuck you guys! It doesn't matter whether they are Jin Yiwei or Japanese pirates. Anyone who dares to stop us will meet the gods and kill them!"
"Follow the sailor brothers, armed with spears and armor! Bring out the Crouching Tiger Cannon!"
Seeing a few people using muskets already starting to reload, Wu Xiao didn't like using muskets. He quickly ran back to the bottom of the bilge, took out his big bow, and while talking to Shen Lian, he quickly reloaded the wolf fangs into his own arrows. Barbed arrow.
"Hey! Protect your mother and don't go on the deck. There are not enough thieves for us to kill!"
Shen Lian helped his mother down the cabin stairs, looked up at Wu Xiao, and said with a smile:
"It's so lively, how could it be without me!"
After saying that, he took the Xiuchun knife out of its sheath, jumped up in two steps, patted Wu Xiao on the shoulder, and turned around and asked Cai Lian to take her back to the bilge.
Wu Xiao looked him up and down, and saw that Shen Lian had already put on the fine fish scale armor, and there was a short flint gun hanging around his waist.
"Let's go, I'll show you my killing move later, the Iai Slash. I'll kill one pirate at a time. After killing these pirates, let's have a good drink! We won't have a chance in the future!"
The two of them had just taken a few steps forward when the cry of lotus picking came from behind.
"Mr. Shen, I'll go with you."
When Shen Lian looked back, he saw that the Annan woman had put on a layer of leather armor at some point. She was holding a sharp waist knife in her left hand and the short crossbow in her right hand.
