Chai Lin said: "We have arranged a small boat, and we have sent someone to the City Lord's Mansion to invite the eldest lady, and when the battle outside the port is over, we will let Lan'er's niece get on the boat and break through the underwaterway." Young Master Hua, you quickly go to the Bar Sky Tower to bring Mrs. Hua to the dock, and you can leave the island with Lan'er and niece later, and you will have a good response in the future. ”

Hua Bushi's face was full of anxiety, and he said: "The hundreds of warships of the Dragon Palace have set up a large array outside the port, where can you have the slightest chance of winning if you rush out like this? This is not desperate at all, and there is no difference between sending you to death! As soon as you die, the people in Okura City, as well as those indigenous villagers, will all fall into the hands of pirates, this is ...... This...... How can tens of thousands of lives be sacrificed like this!"

He has always been calm and calm in his usual behavior, but by this time, his face has changed color, and even his speech is a little incoherent, obviously anxious to the extreme.

Chai Lin said: "Now, there is no other way. We will rush out of the port to fight a decisive battle, even if there is no chance of victory, at least we can win a glimmer of hope for Lan'er's niece to escape, if we wait until the pirate ship enters the port, and the jade will be burned by then, even Lan'er will have no possibility of escaping!"

Hua Bushi grabbed Chai Lin's hand and said, "One day! How about waiting for another day? The reinforcements of the sailors of the Ming Dynasty will arrive soon, and that is the only hope to save the tens of thousands of lives in Okura City, and it is really not a good strategy to fight to the death at this time!"

Chai Lin said: "Where is there any good plan now? Cao Duyun has been gone for forty-four days, if he really went to move the troops, the reinforcements should have arrived a long time ago." If he hadn't taken the opportunity to escape, there must have been an accident, and we couldn't count on reinforcements, and if he didn't make a decision at this time, he would have missed Lan'er's life. ”

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Elder Chai, it's too late to say anything more now! While the morning fog has not dissipated, we must set sail for the port immediately, and maybe we can sneak close to the water village of the 'Black Dragon Palace', kill them by surprise, and when the fog clears, we will be attacked by their artillery, and it will not be easy to get close!"

Chai Lin nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado, let's go immediately!"

Chai Lin shook off Hua Bushi's hand, and together with Yao Yuanxiao, he led his disciples towards the dock, and the eldest young master stood on the ground, his face like ashes. He knew that it was no longer possible to stop the people of the "Mankindo", and once the "Mankando" was destroyed, the destruction of Okura Castle was also imminent!

In the past dozens of days, he has exhausted his mental strength and thought of all the ways, but when he arrived in Zuihou, he still couldn't save Okura Castle and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, could it be said that this is the will of heaven!

Hua Bushi's mind was confused for a while, but he suddenly heard someone say, "Tell Elder Chai, Elder Yao, there is a pirate ship that has passed through the gorge and rushed straight towards the port!"

He immediately turned his face to look at the sea, and sure enough, he saw a blue-black dhow sea hawk ship, with the flag of "Black Dragon Palace" on its bow, crossing the gorge before crossing the bay. On a normal day, the Hongyi cannons on the forts on both sides of the strait would have already opened fire, and the ship would have been sunk in the gorge, but at this time the cannon was out of gunpowder, and seeing the loach ship moving rapidly, it had sailed straight towards the port!

Yao Yuanxiao's iron staff slammed on the ground and shouted, "Okay! We haven't killed it yet, but they have attacked first! Someone is coming, call the trebuchet to prepare, and as soon as this sea hawk ship enters the firing range, they will fire torch stones and sink it!"

The gunpowder in the city has run out, but the trebuchets that use the power of machinery to fire torchstones can still be used. Although the power and range of this equipment were not as powerful as the Hongyi cannons, they were still extremely deterrent if the enemy ships approached the coast, and it was not difficult to sink the ships.

Hua Bushi suddenly ran to the edge of the high platform, leaned out, stared at the sea hawk boat that had already sailed through the gorge with wide eyes, and shouted: "Slow, don't fire the torch stone yet! That boat rushed over alone without cover, there must be something strange, let's wait for it to get closer!"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "That ship is flying the flag of a pirate, what can be strange, it is better to sink it first, and we can set sail for the port!"

Hua Bushi said: "No! It is likely that the ship is your own people, and you must not attack rashly!"

Chai Lin raised his eyes and looked at the sea for a while, and said: "That boat is indeed a little strange, I think it is better not to attack it for the time being, anyway, it is just a boat, even if it is allowed to dock, it will not matter." ”

The sea hawk ship was not very big, at most it could carry a dozen people, and there were hundreds of "Wanjintang" gangs on the port wharf, even if all the pirates on the ship went ashore, they could be controlled.

Hua Bushi stared at the blue-black ship for a moment, and the firearms on that ship did not fire, but just headed towards the port at full speed, as if it was really going to dock at the dock of Okura Port.

As if he had discovered something, the young master suddenly turned around, rushed down the lookout, and ran towards the dock.

Chai Lin said to Yao Yuanxiao: "Let's go to the dock too, and see who is on that boat." ”

When Hua Bushi ran to the dock, the eagle boat had already sailed close to the port, and it was only a hundred feet away from the shore. Although there was some mist on the sea, I could barely see the two men standing on the bow of the ship.

One of them was a large man in full uniform, wearing a pointed helmet with a red tassel hanging from the top of the helmet, and his body was draped in leather armor, covered with a blue-gray battle robe, and carrying a steel knife around his waist. Although Hua Bushi didn't know this person, he could also see that his outfit was not a pirate, but the dress of a general of the Ming court.

And next to this big man was a little girl, dressed in a white short skirt, with two fist-sized buns on her head, but Hua Bushi recognized it, it was Bai Yiling.

The boat soon sailed in front of the pier. Before he could reach the shore, Bai Yiling had already jumped up, jumped over the water and jumped onto the shore, and threw himself into Hua Bushi's arms, shouting: "Master Gongzi, I can't find you for a few months, but Ling'er wants to die!"

On the South Stone Cliff of Wanyi Island, Hua Bushi was kidnapped by the man in black, and the most anxious person was Bai Yiling. However, at that time, the entrance to the secret passage was blown up by gunpowder, and it was impossible to pursue it for a while, and the storm had arrived, and it was urgent for everyone to return to the treasure ship and leave the island.

Bai Yiling refused to leave the "Master Gongzi" and wanted to stay on the island to continue looking for Hua Bushi, but it was Chu Yiyi, Meng Huan and others who coaxed and persuaded her, and almost forcibly pulled her back to the treasure ship.

In the following months, Bai Yiling, Chu Yiyi and others traveled all over the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, but they could not find Hua Bushi, and when the storm at sea subsided, they took a boat to the original location of Wanyi Island, but they could only see the ruins of Wanyi Villa and the wharf that had been washed away by the tide under the South Stone Cliff, and the entire island was empty, and there was still no trace of the eldest young master.

Seeing that there was little hope, and that "Master Gongzi" was likely to have been buried in the storm, Bai Yiling was sad and cried several times. It wasn't until she received a letter from Chai Lin that she learned that Hua Bushi was not dead, but drifted to Okura Island, thousands of miles away.

Seeing each other at this time is almost like a lifetime away. Bai Yiling threw herself into the arms of "Master Gongzi" and cried, Hua Bushi reached out and stroked Bai Yiling's sideburns, and gently persuaded: "Ling'er, don't cry, I'm not dead, it's too unlucky for you to cry like this." ”

At this time, the sea eagle boat had already docked, and the big man in the officer's costume came ashore with three or four soldiers, and Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao also came to the dock with the people of the "Wanjintang".

Chai Lin stepped forward and arched his hand: "It turned out that General Zhao from Tuolin Water Village had arrived, and Nanao Chai Lin was polite!"

The Daming government has six major water villages in Guangdong, namely Nantou Village in Guangzhou Prefecture, Beijin Village in Zhaoqing Prefecture, Jieshi Village in Huizhou Prefecture, Baigemen Village in Leizhou Prefecture, Tuolin Village in Chaozhou Prefecture, and Baisha Village in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Chaozhou Mansion is not far from Nanao, Chai Lin has been in Guangdong for a long time, and he is no stranger to the local government.

And this Zhao Xuhai also hugged his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be a good man from Chai Yuan in Nanao, it's been a long time!"

He then turned to Hua Bushi on the side and said, "Is this Young Master Hua?"

Hua Bushi said: "Down there is Hua Bushi." ”

Zhao Xuhai said: "Prince Cao Duyun instructed the villain to bring a message to Young Master Hua, saying that Young Master Duyun has not broken the contract and has mobilized an army of sailors to support Okura Island, please rest assured Young Master Hua!"

Hua Bushi was pleasantly surprised: "Is the fleet of the Guangdong Realm Navy already here?"

Zhao Xuhai said: "That's right! Now the governor of Guangdong, Lord Shen Youlong, has personally led 8,000 sailors and more than 200 warships, and has reached the sea fifty miles northwest of Okura Island, and can launch an attack on the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace' at any time!"

Hearing Mr. Zhao Qian's words, Hua Bushi burst into tears, choked in his throat, and was speechless.

Reinforcements are finally coming! Cao Duyun did not betray his promise, and the hard work of these days has finally borne fruit, and the more than 100,000 residents and natives in Okura Castle have finally been saved!

At this time, I heard someone next to me shouting: "This time the disguised pirate ship came, I was still on guard against the trebuchet on the shore, ready to dodge! Who knew that there was not a single stone on the shore, so I guessed that it must be Young Master Hua who had such a vision, haha, I really guessed correctly!"

It was a high-pitched voice, like the chirping of a crow, with a thick and strange accent. Hua Bushi looked at it in a blink of an eye, it was the Peng Sanye with a short figure.

This Peng San is still wearing a brown and gray cloth coat, with a stubble on his face, and he looks like he has fallen off the slag. It turned out that this sea hawk boat was driven by him, but he was at the helm behind the boat before, and Hua Bushi had never seen it.

Peng San stepped forward to greet Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao one by one, although he looked ugly, his personality was very sleek.

Chai Lin said: "This is not the place to speak, General Zhao, let's go to the helm of the 'Wanjin Hall' in the city first, and then talk in detail?"

Zhao Xuhai said: "This is very good, please let Chai Dashan lead the way!"
