Sails suddenly appeared on the sea in the dusk, and Dongmen Qing and the others stood on a high place, so they saw it first, and not long after, the natives also found out, and this time, the besiegers and the trapped were a little panicked.

"Is it the Golden Dog?" Kavala screamed, he had been aroused to rebel against Bai Fan, and he had been abandoned, so at this time he already had a strong resistance to the Franco, but when he was in a desperate situation, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky, not only hoping that the siege of the natives would be resolved, but even some hoped to return to the big ship - after all, this was the way of life he was used to.

If Kavala was hesitating, then Shuiyu Cai, Shen Wei and others were worried, and after learning that Mendoza had planned to let Zhou Taifu abandon them on this island from the beginning, they knew that Mendoza would not let them go - even if they could get on a small boat and return to the Golden Dog, then what followed would be an endless battle between open and secret battles and it would be impossible to maintain a superficial peace like before the attack of the Chaozhou pirates. So they no longer have hope in the Franc Man, but only fear!

"What should I do?" Chen Baifu asked Dongmenqing in a low voice, although he said it quietly, but at this time, everyone was crowded on the narrow platform at the entrance of the cave, so they still heard it, and everyone looked at Dongmenqing together after hearing it.

Being relied on is also a kind of pressure, especially in the face of unforeseen circumstances, it is a heavy pressure to be relied on, but Dongmen Qing seems to be getting more and more accustomed to this pressure, he remembered Dongmen Ba's teachings: "When others ask you for opinions when they have no ideas, don't show it even if you have no opinions, but if you have opinions, don't be busy answering them, what you have to do is not in a hurry, so that they have confidence in you is more important than what ideas you take!" So he just gestured, which means, "Let's see." ”

As the ship moved closer and closer, the natives below were already stirring, and several leaders kept talking to each other, as if they were retreating. They were scared by the Franc Pirates, and this place was close to the sea, which was a dangerous place for them. This time he pursued Zhou Dafu because he was alone, and he attacked Dongmenqing and the others because he felt that their strength was weak, but at this time, another big ship came, which was a serious threat to them!

"Ahh More than one ship! Zhou Dafu, who has good eyesight, shouted!

Sure enough, there was not just one, but two oncoming ships! In addition, there are a number of small boats. After a while, Dongmen Qing and the others vaguely understood that the two ships were not European-style ships, but Chinese-style ships.

"A blessed ship! A Canton ship! Zhou Dafu shouted: "Could it be ...... Could it be the maritime merchants we met in Luzon? ”

In just a moment, Shen Wei, Shuiyu Cai and others all turned from fear to excitement! Their greatest hope is to build a small boat to cruise in the offshore waters, and they have to go north step by step if they have no choice but to meet a big ship returning to China! Now the boat has not yet arrived, and the big ship has come, which is too good news for them to be good!

"Look! The natives are starting to withdraw! Shen Wei shouted.

Everyone looked down, and sure enough, even Dongmen Qing couldn't help but smile.

"It's done! It's done! ”

The mouth of the mountain was full of cheers, but the mountain wind was strong at the heights, and no matter how loud their voices were, they were quickly blown away.

The two big ships got closer and closer, and soon Zhou Dafu and the others saw clearly that it was indeed the fleet they had encountered in Luzon, and from the direction they were heading, it was obvious that they were going to anchor on this island, and in the end, the direction that this fleet chose was actually that small bay!

"It seems that the hero sees something the same." Shen Wei said.

"But I think they've been to this island." Zhou Dafu said: "Many Chinese merchants have dealt with the natives of various parts of Nanyang, and many of them have a good relationship. ”

He has been in the field for a long time, and his tone is stiff when he says "Chinese businessman", as if he is not Chinese himself, Dongmen Qing glared at him, but Zhou Dafu did not know what he said wrong, and he couldn't say it anymore with a choke in his throat.

Shen Wei asked, "What about the friendship?" ”

Zhou Dafu said: "They may help the natives to beat us!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Dongmen Qing gestured, indicating: "Won't it?" Then he made a gesture and crossed out, saying, "All of us are the people of the Celestial Empire!" ”

"How not?" Zhou Dafu looked at Kavala with his eyes and said, "Kavala, they are also Nanyang, aren't they with us yet?" Since they can be with us, of course those Chinese maritime merchants can also join forces with these students! ”

Everyone thought it was possible! Although they are both Chinese, Chinese armed merchants will face each other like Chinese pirates, and as Zhou Dafu analyzed, this fleet may have visited the island before, and may have established a friendship with the island's natives, in which case they will have a great chance of joining forces to attack themselves!

"What then?" The mood of the crowd turned again—as if the sunny day had turned to gloom in an instant.

At this time, the sun was only in its last rays, and the Chinese fleet had sailed into the bay, and sent small boats ashore to explore and set up sentry posts.

"Wang Gongzi, what do you think?"

"It's not good to be a visitor in the dark." Dongmenqing spread a layer of sand on the ground and wrote: "But the situation is very urgent at the moment, and we must contact me before the islanders go to the sea." ”

Shen Wei said: "Maritime businessmen, the fear is the deepest!" We've run through the night, and we're going to make them hostile in the first place. ”

"Then we have to make them sympathize with us first." Dongmen Qing even wrote a gesture and said an idea, Shen Wei, Zhou Dafu and others heard it, and they all nodded their heads and felt that it was feasible.

At the moment of arranging manpower, Kavala and others are obviously not like Chinese, and this trip cannot go, so they picked out the most organically changed Shen Wei, Chen Baifu, and Zhou Dafu, and Shen Wei and Zhou Dafu went to "ask for help", Chen Baifu and Shuiyu Cai and others called for help in the back, and Dongmen Qing and Kavala and other three people stuck to the nest.

Chen Baifu looked at Zhou Dafu and said, "Can you believe this guy or not?" ”

Dongmen Qing glanced at Zhou Dafu, Zhou Dafu knew that there was no other choice now, and hurriedly said: "I will definitely do things well!" Dongmenqing smiled and nodded, Chen Baifu and the others had no opinion, Zhou Dafu was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Prince Wang!" Thank you, Prince Wang! ”

Shen Wei, Chen Baifu, Zhou Dafu and others climbed down the high ground, gradually approached, and saw that they were already in each other's field of vision, and then crawled forward, and when they reached the vicinity of the small bay, they saw that those Chinese maritime merchants had erected a fence, and sent people to keep an eye on the only entrance to the small bay.

Chen Baifu said to Shen Wei: "These people are extremely experienced! ”

Shen Wei nodded, then patted Zhou Dafu's shoulder and said, "Prepare to go." He stood up and walked two steps, but saw that Zhou Dafu was still prostrate on the ground and hesitated, and urged: "Hurry up!" ”

Chen Baifu also pushed him, and Zhou Dafu got up and staggered towards the Chinese businessman's sentry post with Shen Wei, shouting as he ran: "Help!" Help me! ”

When the guards at the sentry heard the voice, they shouted vigilantly: "Stop! Who are you! Do what! ”

Shen Wei and the others got closer, and then said: "We are the Ming sailors who have fallen here, and there is a life chasing us behind!" Help me! ”

There were three guards at this sentry, and the three of them discussed it before the leader said, "Raise your hands!" He sent one of his men to search them, but told another to run back and report the news.

The guard who came over searched Shen Wei and Zhou Dafu and found nothing suspicious, and then he was a little relieved, and the leader asked, "Who are you!" How is it here? ”

Zhou Dafu is also proficient in the Chinese dialect in addition to the Francophile, and when he heard the guard speak with a Cantonese accent, he replied in Cantonese: "I am from Xinhui." ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately felt a sense of intimacy, and said, "It turns out that he is also a little fellow." ”

Zhou Dafu asked: "Miles of big guys? ”

The guard said: "I am from Panyu. ”

The four of them chatted for a while, and Shen Wei and Zhou Dafu cried about how they ended up on this island, how they met Shengfan, and how they escaped for their lives—all words made up in advance. As for the fact that they were originally sailors of the Golden Dog, many maritime merchants were very wary of the Franco, so they kept it a secret.

After a while, a few sailors came with torches and weapons in their hands, and the guard told the visitor what he had learned, and Shen Wei said, "This big brother, please let us meet the owner, we have something to ask for." ”

The leader of the people said, "Don't be a trick! ”

Shen Wei said: "We don't have anything on us, how can it be a trick?" If this big brother doesn't trust us, he can tie us up. ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay." He said to his family: "I will take them in to meet the owner, and send two more people to guard here, so as to wake up and watch!" The sea in this area has not been calm lately, and these two people are a little strange, but don't go wrong! ”
