It was Qi Yu's long-planned subconscious plan to try to retain Leng Qing. Its purpose is to find opportunities to capture craftsmen who know how to make firearms.
Huang Fei is still monitoring Japanese pirates in Qiongnan. If he wants to implement this plan, Leng Qing is the only choice.
As for this action arrangement, it is also a special opportunity that has been waiting for a long time.
Based on the fear of firearms, Qi Yu tried his best to choose the most suitable cloudy weather. There is no doubt that this kind of weather is very conducive to his actions.
However, here comes the problem.
There is no weather forecast these days, so how can we make an accurate choice?
Alas, you have to choose even if you are not sure!
Regarding this extremely difficult problem to be reliable, Qi Yu chose to follow the advice of local elders. They go out to sea all year round and have so-called experience in weather forecasting in the sea.
The result is surprising, you guessed it!
In other words, the bet was right!
The waves have gone and the drizzle has come. Mao Ci is sparse and easy to get wet, and the clouds and fog are dense and difficult to open. On the unexpected day, the dragon was happy, circling in the vortex and returning to the shore.
This kind of continuous cloudy day has many benefits. In addition to being detrimental to the ignition of the matchlock mentioned earlier, it can also play a certain covering role, which is conducive to one's own sneaking in quietly.
There is no other way to choose this kind of small boat. Qiongzhou is poor and it is almost impossible to find a big boat like this, so we can only make do with it.
Under Qi Yu's arrangement, Shi Liao and Shi Yuan had been perfecting their action plan in the past few days. They had already figured out a lot about Prince Yong's Mansion. Now that they had the support of the gang, their confidence was almost overwhelming.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Qi Dalang's skill in beating chicken blood.
After feeling relaxed, the two of them all swore that this operation would be the same as before, and they insisted that the thief would not leave empty-handed.
Qi Yu was stunned when he heard this, and for the first time he had a warm feeling for the four words "Thieves never leave empty-handed".
You know, the most troublesome thing for anyone who is an official is these four words, which affect public security!
Back to business.
At noon that afternoon, the group sailed into the waters of Dongguan County, approaching Yufen Port.
Since it was a rainy day, there were not many ships sailing here, so it saved a lot of trouble.
To others, these are just a few small fishing boats used for fishing.
Overall, the concealment aspect is pretty good.
Qi Yu ordered the ships to wander around the bay first, making fishing operations, and then take specific actions after dark.
The disguised government officials also took the opportunity to become fishermen and experience the life of ordinary people.
They were really puzzled. Why did Mr. Qi, who was so virtuous, suddenly act out of character and become a robber? However, they only think about things like this in their hearts, but they dare not say it openly.
In this way, the group of people slowly stayed up until midnight, except for the wind and rain, which was still swaying, and almost no chickens barked or dogs bitten.
Qi Yu looked at the time on his pocket watch: twelve o'clock exactly!
Well, it’s time to take action!
"Hiss~~"
Qi Dalang put his finger to his mouth and blew an ear-catching whistle.
Signal: It's time to 'throw the grass in the valley'.
Following this order, all the boats moved toward the shore, without lights or fire, and silently.
Then, take action quickly!
"Brother Shi, please!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi! We'll take care of it!"
"Master Leng, please!"
"It's easy to say. After everything is done, don't forget your promise to me!"
"..."
The Shi brothers and Leng Qing left almost at the same time, and within a few breaths, their figures disappeared into the vast night.
Qi Yu and all the government officials were waiting on the spot for their support.
The rain kept falling, the atmosphere was not so harmonious, and there was thunder.
"There are thunders, could it be that the rain is going to get heavier?" Qi Yu muttered to himself as he looked up at the inky sky.
Could there really be danger?
No matter what, this sudden thunder always makes people feel their heartstrings tense.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn!
Even if there is danger, we have to grit our teeth and go on. Whether we succeed or fail, it depends on today.
An hour has passed...
Three hours have passed...
The current pocket watch time is: four o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly, two vague figures hurriedly walked towards them in the distance. Their figures looked very much like those of Shi Liao and Shi Yuan who had returned.
The two of them dragged many large and small bags along the way, carrying them back and forth, and gradually arrived at the shore.
"grown ups……"
"Shh!"
Qi Yu hurriedly put on his raincoat and ran over to check, only to find that the two men had indeed stolen the gun. As for the number, it is estimated to be about two hundred.
Well, apart from the equipment, this should be everything in King Yong's warehouse.
Great results!
Thumbs up!
"Haha, the two of you are adhering to the glorious tradition of thieves never making mistakes. You are really hardworking and hardworking, which really makes Qi deeply admire you!" Qi Dalang, who was overjoyed, did not hesitate to praise and said with a smile that was almost dancing.
Shi Liao hurriedly smiled and said: "To be honest with you, I am lucky to have this windy and rainy day as a cover, otherwise, it would never have been so smooth."
Shi Yuan also said: "Master Qi is really good at predicting things. There is indeed a small hidden warehouse in the palace. We followed the smell of gunpowder and found it not long after."
Looking for positioning?
Do you have a dog nose? So sensitive?
He is worthy of being a rooster and a dog robber!
Haha, no matter what, as long as the method is successful, it is a good method, and it can be used by me, including talents.
With these firearms in hand, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Although they are not strong enough to fight against King Yong, they still have a certain ability to protect themselves.
Whether we can hold on to Qiongzhou's construction achievements depends on these iron men.
In the past, I often said that when you have food, you don’t panic. Now it seems that I have to change it. It should be called when you have a gun, you don’t panic.
After the excitement subsided, Qi Yu hurriedly asked the government officials to come over and assist him in transporting all the guns to the fishing boat and placing them properly. In addition, you must be ready to set sail at any time, and when the cold weather arrives, you can immediately drop the anchor and run away.
However, it just happened to be the opposite.
An hour passed like this, but Leng Qing still didn't arrive.
The longer I wait, the more anxious I become.
Qi Yu looked at his pocket watch. It was almost five o'clock. In about half an hour, it would be dark.
When that time comes, we and our party will be exposed to the vast sea, with no way to escape.
I hope that Leng Qing will not have any accidents and come back as soon as possible.
Nervous sweat slowly slid down Qi Yu's cheeks, mixed with the slanting rain that hit his face, and it was completely indistinguishable.
At this time, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, like a ghost in the dark night, appearing inadvertently.
"who?"
"I!"
I followed the sound to look, but saw three more people in front of me.
The person who came was none other than Leng Qing. In each of her hands, she was holding a tied person.
"Did you succeed?"
"Well, capture two people!" Leng Qing's reply was concise and shocking, and then she urged urgently: "Let's leave quickly. If we are late, there may be some danger."
"good!"
After boarding the ship, Qi Yu urgently ordered the ships to set sail immediately and move forward at full speed.
On the way back, we no longer meander along the coastline, but drive directly into the deep sea to shorten the voyage. In addition, he also specifically ordered that all ships must not light up lights to avoid exposing their location.
Since we are following the direction of the compass, it will generally not deviate too much, so just go with confidence.
In this darkness, several small boats moved forward silently and at full speed, making people unaware. Even if there is some movement, it will be covered up by the whimpering sound of the wind and rain.
…
Before I knew it, the sky started to get dark and bright.
Only then did Qi Yu notice the two captives.
Let’s see:
One of them is a blond Westerner. He is gorgeously dressed and has bright eyes. He seems to be a very intelligent man.
The other one is a native Chinese. He is dressed in coarse clothes and looks a bit like a traditional craftsman.
Since both of their hands and feet were restrained and their mouths were stuffed with numbness, they basically had no other resistance except for being able to hum a few words through their noses.
Leng Qing explained that she had coerced and interrogated several people before she found out the whereabouts of the two craftsmen. Otherwise, she would not have come back so late.
Oh, that’s what happened.
Understand understand.
However, her approach also meant that danger was coming. Just imagine, after learning the information, how could Prince Yong not send someone to catch up?
The answer is yes.
After stealing his guns and robbing his craftsmen, how could he let it go? If this spreads out, how can he still hang out on the road?
"Speed up and move forward! Don't rest for a moment!" Qi Yu didn't dare to relax at all and ordered.
