Chapter 131: The Night of the 'Pirate'

After a week's voyage, Duanmu Yixin's face had more smiles on his face than all the sum of everything Ye Qingcang had seen in the past, and Ye Qingcang knew that Duanmu Yixin really liked the sea.

This week, Ye Qingcang felt that his wife was closer to him, every day on the warship, she not only looked at the sea, but also helped to do some chores, looking at such a Duanmu art heart, Ye Qingcang felt so real, such happiness is in front of him, right at hand, within reach, and then thinking back on the four years of peacekeeping, it is like living in hell.

That night, Duanmu Yixin looked at the sea and the starry sky on the deck again, and saw that it was very late, and as soon as the two of them lay down, they heard a different sound.

Duanmu Yixin was not very familiar with such a voice, but Ye Qingcang understood.

"Xin'er, you go to sleep first, I'll go see what's going on. ”

Ye Qingcang pressed Duanmu Yixin, this is the sound of entering combat readiness, half an hour ago, when he and Xin'er came down from the deck, there was no abnormality, how could it be so easy to enter a state of combat readiness.

"Husband, it should be early to leave the Gulf of Aden, right?"

Duanmu Yixin had a bad premonition, looking at her husband like that, it seemed that something had really happened.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, sleep well, I'll come down in a while." Ye Qingcang helped Duanmu Yixin cover the quilt and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, in order to prevent his wife from coming out for a while, when he left, he locked the door from the outside, but after walking a few steps and coming back.

Xin'er is his wife, not a prisoner, Ye Qingcang opened the door.

When he went to the command room and learned about the situation, he asked Lu Chengwen to send a female soldier over to accompany Duanmu Yixin.

When the female soldier appeared in the cabin, Duanmu Yixin had the idea of rushing out, and she was very worried.

"Xiao Liu, what's going on outside? Is it dangerous?"

"Sister Xin, it's nothing, it's just that you're in the way, it's just a trivial matter, you are not a soldier after all, Major General Ye is worried that you are afraid, so let me come over to accompany you. ”

Female soldier Xiao Liu explained.

Duanmu Yixin nodded, she knew that this was just Xiao Liu's own words, in fact, as long as Ye Qingcang was by her side, even if it was a Daoshan oil pot, she would not be afraid, because she knew that the man would block everything for her.

But since she wanted to stay in her room, she just didn't go out.

At this time, Ye Qingcang and Lu Chengwen were in the command room, and things were far more simple than Xiao Liu said.

"Qingcang, I'm afraid we will be in danger, you and your brother and sister"

"We're fine, Chengwen, do you think they're pirates?" Ye Qingcang said as he looked at the big screen.

"They dress alike, but they're well-equipped, and pirates aren't so well-equipped"

"When did the pirates become so arrogant?" Ye Qingcang raised his eyebrows, he had never heard of Somali pirates daring to move the army, they had always only robbed fishing boats and merchant ships.

"I didn't have it before, but I have it today, but it came just in time, and I haven't really done it for a long time. Lu Chengwen smiled, not worried at all.

Pirate, is it really blind to be a buddy? If you want to make trouble, he will accompany you.

"Don't be in a hurry, take a look first, their gear should be more than just what you see. Ye Qingcang looked at the boat on the screen, it looked like a fishing boat on the outside, but that night watch, he was sure that the equipment inside would definitely not be worse than ordinary warships.

"I'm looking forward to working with you again since that one six years ago. Lu Chengwen stretched out his hand to Ye Qingcang.

"Brothers in the Heart"

"Its Profit Breaks Gold"

Despite the preparations, it is necessary to negotiate first, and on the washing, our principle is not to shoot.

The other side has taken the Chinese fishing boat hostage, and now it is asking for negotiations, but it is asking the captain of the side to come over.

"Brother, I'll go over and I'll hand over the destroyer to you. Lu Chengwen held Ye Qingcang's hand and said.

"No, here's the vice-captain, I'll go with you. Ye Qingcang said calmly.

"Don't make a fuss, my brother and sister are still waiting for you in the room. ”

Lu Chengwen is very grateful, but he can't be emotional at this time, although Ye Qingcang is a soldier, he is on vacation, and he is the captain of such a destroyer, what to do, who to go, is up to him.

"Xin'er can understand, Senior Colonel Lu Chengwen, this is an order. Ye Qingcang said solemnly.

Although it is a different branch of the army, he is a major general, in terms of military rank, he is higher than Lu Chengwen, at this time, he can definitely be a commander.

"Ye Qingcang, isn't it, use the military rank to suppress my brother at this time. ”

Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment, looked at the documents on Ye Qingcang's body and smiled.

"Haven't you heard of the official crushing people to death? You are the boss on such a destroyer, bring your clothes, and I am your guard. ”

Ye Qingcang said, he can't watch his brother take risks, the so-called negotiation is definitely a trap, but even if it is a trap, they must go.

"Good brother" Lu Chengwen nodded and ordered someone to bring clothes.

Five minutes later, Ye Qingcang and Lu Chengwen left the destroyer to go to the fishing boat to negotiate.

Before leaving, Lu Chengwen also left an order for the deputy captain, without his order, no one was allowed to leave the destroyer, and no one was allowed to board.

At this time, Duanmu Yixin, who was accompanied by a female soldier, leaned on the bed not only did not feel sleepy, but became more and more energetic.

"Xiao Liu, Ye Qingcang said that you can't go out? I want to go to the deck to see the stars. Duanmu Yixin looked at the closed door, feeling extremely uneasy.

Ye Qingcang has been out for forty-five minutes, if there is really nothing wrong, at this time, he should come back.

"Sister Xin, it's late, it's cold outside, why don't you sleep first, I'll go see Major General Ye." ”

Female soldier Xiao Liu Dao.

"Shall I come with you? I promise not to speak, not to run around. Duanmu Yixin looked at Xiao Liu pitifully with her son's eyes looking at her.

Xiao Liu finally nodded after a minute of the battle between heaven and man.

"Thank you, Xiao Liu, I will definitely cooperate with you, as long as you let me stop, I decide not to lift my feet. Duanmu Yixin hurriedly got up, didn't even change his pajamas, put on his coat and followed Xiao Liu out.

The two came to the command room, but they didn't see their husband, Duanmu Yixin only felt a thump in his chest, her husband was not there, and Lu Chengwen was not there, only the deputy captain.

"What about my husband and Captain Lu, are they going to the deck, I'll go up and have a look" Duanmu Yixin said and was about to go to the deck, but was stopped by a few soldiers.

"Mrs. Ye, you can't, it's dangerous on the deck now, the captain and Rear Admiral Ye have gone to negotiate, if you are really not at ease, you can wait here." The vice-captain walked out.

Duanmu Yixin nodded and sat down, she remembered what Ye Qingcang had said, and sat quietly. When she can't help, she must not cause trouble to anyone.

"Vice Captain, how long have they been gone?" After sitting for five minutes, Duanmu Yixin couldn't hold back.

"It's been a quarter of an hour. The deputy captain replied that since the captain and Rear Admiral Ye left, each of them had their hearts lifted, and every minute, they were sweating.

On the other side, Ye Qingcang and Lu Chengwen went to the deck of the fishing boat first.

Lu Chengwen first asked to see the hostages, and soon, two hostages were taken out of the cabin, but they couldn't tell each other apart while wearing hoods.

"We asked to remove the hood. "They have an interpreter on board, Lu Chengwen said in English.

I heard the whispers of two people who looked like pirate leaders next to them.

Lu Chengwen and Ye Qingcang vaguely heard that Lu Chengwen had been in contact with pirates, and they did not speak the local language, but spoke a lot like English.

Ye Qingcang also has the same suspicion, most of the pirates here have two identities, civilians and pirates, so their basic language is the local dialect, occasionally speaking French and Italian, but there are not many who speak English, and the accent is not right.

Lu Chengwen and Ye Qingcang met eyes that only they understood, first of all, the first part can determine that the pirate is not a real pirate, which confirms their initial guess that the pirate is disguised.

At the same time, they have sent the pirate's avatar back to the warship through a camera on the hat.

Now I'm waiting for the identity over there.

After exchanging views, the pirate leader took out the hoods of the two fishermen.

"Save me, PLA stuff, please save us"

When the two light fishermen saw Lu Chengwen and Ye Qingcang, they immediately called for help.

"What conditions do you have. Lu Chengwen looked at the pirate leader and said, Ye Qingcang approached Lu Chengwen, and the two had a simple exchange.

Originally, they thought that the fishermen were real, but now it seems that even the fishermen are fake, if it is a real fisherman, they will definitely be very scared in this case, and when the person facing death says help, the feeling is different, Lu Chengwen has heard it, Ye Qingcang has heard these two words the most in those four years, although the language is different, but no matter what language it is, the fear when saying these two words is the same, but he did not feel that fear from the mouths of these two kidnapped fishermen, and therefore, this will make them more careful。

"We have 10 fishermen here, and the ransom is a million dollars each. The other party said after exchanging opinions.

One million US dollars, ten people, ten million US dollars, equivalent to RMB, that is definitely a large amount, Lu Chengwen did not dare to agree, but Ye Qingcang, who was behind him at this time, gave him a hint.

Ye Qingcang was very sure that these ten people were definitely not fishermen, and he asked Lu Chengwen to agree.

Lu Chengwen was a little hesitant, first of all, the amount was too big, in fact, if he readily agreed, it was easy for others to doubt, and he had to suppress the price.

"Your price is too high, I must ask my superiors. Lu Chengwen said to the translator.

"No, we'll give you three minutes, and if you can't agree within three minutes, then we'll kill him. The pirate pointed at the fisherman kneeling beside him and made a murderous look at Lu Chengwen.

Ye Qingcang really wanted Lu Chengwen to delay for three minutes, he felt that the so-called ten fishermen were definitely disguised by their own people, whether it was true or not, and they would definitely be able to tell after three minutes.
