The sun has gone down, there is only a little afterglow left on the sea, Chen Wu's fleet appeared at the mouth of the bay, Yu Buqi and others were a little panicked, but Wu Ping did not hurry to command the fleet to meet it, and ordered the sailors on the ship to wave together, the three big ships that turned in from the bay mouth were not clear about the situation for a while, and it was not easy to move, Chen Wu sent a small boat to ask for news, but where was Wu Ping waiting for him? Still moving forward, passing by the incoming fleet, Chen Wu became suspicious, and suddenly heard the noise in the village, and two more boats rushed out, one was Chen Liu's boat, and the other was Zhou Xiong's boat, shouting "Leave the village master!" Although Chen Wu couldn't hear what was going on, he also knew something different, and ordered: "Intercept me!" ”

Suddenly, I heard someone on Fu Zhilong shouting, "Chen Si has been caught!" "Don't be reckless! Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness", and another sailor came to shout: "Not good! It's really the owner of the village! The owner of the village has been held hostage by them! ”

Chen Wu ate one, and only then did he confirm that a big change had indeed taken place in the village! Zhang Yixing came up and asked, "What should I do?" Let them go? ”

Chen Wu said angrily: "What to put it!" Give me arrows! Fire! ”

Shitanzhai artillery is limited, gunner skills are not very 'fine', it is too late to issue for a while, but the arrows have been flying all over the sky, Fu Zhilong lacks enough naval combat armed personnel, only a dozen Japanese sword warriors, can not fight back with long-range equipment, had to find the ship board tower to dodge the arrows, the deck is too late to find the cover of the sailors left and right to dodge, the mast on the Aban had to resign to fate, the ship boarded the big 'chaos'! Dong'men Qing secretly complained: "I'm really stupid! He actually wanted to use the threat to deal with Chen Wu! Chen Liu is afraid that Chen Si will die, and Chen Wu can't wait for him to die! But he sneered at Chen Si: "There are really a lot of people in your village who want you to die!" ”

Chen Si snorted, and suddenly broke free from the coercion and rushed out, and the east 'gate' Qing was shocked: "Are you looking for death!" "I wanted to rush up and catch him, but there was a rain of arrows coming, so I quickly retracted my feet, Chen Si was hit by an arrow, but he still ran to the side of the boat in the rain of arrows, and jumped into the sea without the slightest hesitation! The East 'Gate' Qing secretly paused, and several sailors from Shitanzhai took the opportunity to rebel, one of them was cut down by Shinrokuro with a knife, and two of them jumped into the sea with Chen Si, but one died in the 'chaos' arrow! Yu risked his life running back and forth on the boat, commanding the old department to pull the sail to speed up the bay, Cui Guangnan said: "What kind of sail are you pulling now, it's time to turn!" "He himself ran to beckon the rudder! Yu Buqi suddenly woke up! An arrow flew from the ground, piercing his left shoulder, and he fell down with a bang, and then got up again and shouted: "Turn around! "In this 'chaotic' situation, I really can't even care about life and death! Seven or eight sailors were 'stimulated' by him, and they joined hands to turn the rudder and turn the sails, and although the sails were still not full, their speed increased sharply!

But several small boats had already rushed over, two hooks and ropes climbed up to Fuzhilong, and the pirates on board boarded the ship under the cover of the rain of arrows, and the Higashi'mon Kei, Shingoro and others were 'forced' by the rain of arrows to stop them, and secretly complained of distress. If it is attacked by these pirates, Chen Wu's boat will cross again, and the two ships will be connected, then Fu Zhilong will be finished!

Suddenly there was a rumbling sound, and the east 'gate' Qing was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed, but it turned out that Qing Huaxiang was on the side of the bay and crossed the hull to fire the cannon first! Most of the shells in the first round fell into the water, but there was still one shot that hit Chen Wu's boat, the firepower of this cannon was not enough to smash the big ship, but the sudden cannon still disrupted Chen Wu's offensive, and the arrow rain paused for a while, Shingoro Shinrokuro led the crowd to rush out, cut the hook lock, and several pirates who had not yet climbed up fell into the sea.

At this time, the rudder of Fuzhilong turned sharply, not only did not carry Chen Wu's fleet to the southeast, but to the northeast, everyone on the boat was shocked, Chen Wu's boat was already in the northwest of Fuzhilong at this time, but there was still an enemy ship in the northeast! Yu Buxi shouted in shock: "What the hell is Lao Cui! ”

But at this moment, everyone on the ship felt that Fu Zhilong's speed suddenly accelerated! Originally, the wind direction was roughly northward at this time, and if you need to go zigzag to the southeast, you need enough manpower to carry out flexible sail control, but you can easily eat the wind to the northeast! The enemy ships came slowly, but Fu Zhilong went quickly! The two ships rubbed against each other, neither of them could knock each other over, and they tilted up at the same time, but the friction of the hull was only for a moment, and then separated, this enemy ship lacked a decisive commander like Chen Wu, and failed to organize enough sailors to venture over in this moment, and when the two ships passed by, the strong wind sent them away, and they walked back to each other, and they were separated by more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye, and Chen Wu's ship was also separated by this ship!

Yu was overjoyed and shouted, "Okay! Come on! ”

Seeing that Fu Zhilong had already left the bay, the East 'Gate' also shouted: "It's done!" It's done—"

The sailors on the boat saw that they were about to get out of Hukoulang's 'hole', and they jumped up with joy whether they were injured or not, and the stone altar village over there also sounded a cheer that shook the sky, and there was a shout in the wind, and someone could vaguely be heard shouting: "The owner of the village!" Owner! ”

Shingoro exclaimed: "It's Chen Si!" ”

Dongmen' Qing was in his heart, and he guessed that Chen Si had escaped, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry!" Follow the most downwind direction! Escape! "Where are you waiting for his order? Earlier jumped over to help while shouting!

Qing Huaxiang in the south also turned the rudder and followed, the wind outside the bay was extremely strong, and both ships were full of sails, and the speed was extremely amazing! By this time it was already getting night, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was a great danger to sail in such a strong wind, but the sailors of Fu Zhilong could only flee for their lives at this moment, but they could not care much more! After escaping for half an hour, it seemed that no one was chasing behind them, and everyone felt a little relieved, and the injured person had the heart to retake care of the wound.

Dongmen' Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly Cui Guangnan hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Hurry up and light the lights!" Lighting! The East Gate Qing was stunned and said, "What? ”

Cui Guangnan pointed to the increasingly blurred lights behind him and said, "It's night now!" The wind is strong, if you get separated from Qinghuaxiang, it will be troublesome! ”

The east 'gate' was shocked and hurriedly called for the lights! When he looked back, he saw that the lights that should be Qinghuaxiang were not coming directly to this side, Cui Guangnan paused: "They must not be able to see our ship and chase in the wrong direction!" Let's just hope it's still too late! ”

After a while, the trend of the two boats pulling farther and farther gradually stopped, and it seemed that Qing Huaxiang's side finally saw the lights here and turned the rudder, but he couldn't catch up for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Yu Buqi was very unfamiliar with this sea area, and was injured, so Cui Guangnan commanded it, but Cui Guangnan was not very familiar with this area, so in order to avoid accidents, he lowered the sail half and slowed down. As for stopping the boat, it is not daring, after all, no one can say whether the ships of Shitanzhai will catch up.

In the middle of the night, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and Fu Zhilong has a shortage of sailors, if the wind is calm and the waves are quiet, it will be a little ineffective when encountering this strong wind! The two large ships were already quite far apart, and they could not agree on the direction of sailing with each other in advance, when they were hit by a strong wind and finally separated in the dark. The east 'gate' celebration and others only look forward to meeting again at dawn, but when it comes to dawn, there is a vast expanse in all directions, where is the shadow of Qinghuaxiang?

Yu Buqi said: "Or let's go back and see." ”

"No way!" East 'Gate' Qingdao: "What if I go back and meet the pursuers of Shitanzhai?" Let's go in this direction for another day, let's not pull the sails full, and hope they will catch up. If tomorrow they can't catch up, we'll turn west and wait for them at Shuangyu. ”

Cui Guangnan and others all said yes, who expected them to 'lose' the direction at night, the ship was pushed by the strong wind and walked to the northeast for a whole night, at this time in terms of latitude has been near Shuangyu, if you go west, you can reach it soon, but continue to go to the northeast is going farther and farther!

Qinghuaxiang has Wu Ping from Xiazhai brought out a few guides who are familiar with the East China Sea and the sea route to Japan, Cui Guangnan, Yu Buci and others on this ship are not familiar with the sea routes, wind direction, and ocean currents of the East China Sea. Therefore, Cui and Yu misjudged the sea route to Shuangyu. In addition, they are full of fear of Shitanzhai in their hearts, and they only hope to be as far away from Shitanzhai as possible in their hearts, so they are afraid of going west and south and liking east and north, which makes them further deepen their misjudgment of the sea route.

Dongmenqing didn't realize this crisis at this time, and he mainly dealt with the internal affairs of the ship during the day: there were still nine sailors who had been held hostage in the 'chaos' and 'chaos' in Shitanzhai at this time! Dongmenqing interrogated the nine sailors separately, then gathered them on the deck, killed a Liwei, rewarded a Lifu, and installed them in the old headquarters of Guangchangping. After this was done, Fu Zhilong's interior was stable.

In the evening, there was still no shadow of Qing Huaxiang, and the east 'gate' Qing and others began to carefully calculate all the details, and the east 'gate' Qing suddenly caught a glimpse of the second husband who happened to be standing next to him, and suddenly remembered something, ouch, Cui Guangnan and others hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing smiled bitterly: "I forgot Ouyang 'Yan' and 'Yan' in Shitanzhai. ”

Cui Guangnan frowned when he heard this, Yu Buqi coughed, and persuaded: "Owner, now is not the time to think about 'female'. ”

Dongmen' Qing shook his head and said: "No, no, I promised to take her out, now it's like this, isn't it ......" glanced at Cui Guangnan and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future." Tell me about the return route. ”

Cui Guangnan said: "In my opinion, tomorrow it is time to turn the rudder to the west, so as not to continue to walk and sail into the unpredictable ocean." ”

Yu Buzhi said: "Walking on the sea, the difference is a thousand miles!" Now the westward wind direction is not very smooth, even if you use the eight-sided wind method, it will eventually go very slowly, I think it is better to find an island first, and then determine the direction! ”

The two were discussing, and suddenly someone reported that they had caught a few pieces of broken wood, Cui Guangnan and Yu Buxi looked at it carefully, glanced at each other, and said together: "It's a fishing boat!" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing asked, "So there are people nearby?" ”

Yu Buqi said: "This is difficult to say, this piece of ship is very old, it is difficult to determine how far it has drifted." When he asked the direction, he came from the north and east, so he said, "What should I do?" Continue northeast, search for islands, or just turn west? ”

Cui Guangnan couldn't make a choice for a while, so he looked at the east 'gate' Qing, and the east 'gate' Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's face the northeast!" Anyway, we still have enough food and water, and it is not too late to turn around if we can't find land for two more days. ”

Yu Buqi said: "Now the wind is facing north, if you go too far......"

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "What are you afraid of! It's a big deal to go straight to Japan! There is a whole cabin of raw silk in the cabin of this Fuzhilong, and I am afraid that it is not enough to make the capital! ”
