Bai Sha's heart suddenly felt empty, he knew that something must have happened to the fleet, all the crew gradually appeared on the shore, but the number of people was much smaller than before, and judging from the state of the crew, they had lost their previous look.

Bai Sha stood on the shore and waited for everyone to arrive, many of the crew members walked with their heads down, until they found that Bai Sha appeared, the look on their faces slowly recovered, and then turned into ecstasy, and finally couldn't help cheering.

The appearance of Baisha is like a reassuring pill for everyone, when the fleet loses its backbone, the sudden appearance of Baisha brings hope to everyone, and also gives everyone the motivation to continue walking, this kind of spiritual comfort is very important for the current crew.

When Qiu Tian and the others came to Baisha, they were choked up and speechless for a while.

Bai Sha patted the three of them on the shoulder and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

The three of them just shook their heads vigorously and did not continue to say anything. Everyone didn't expect Bai Sha to suddenly appear at this time, and the emotions of grief and joy were mixed for a while, which was really difficult to describe the inner mood at this time.

"Let the crew brothers return to the fleet for repairs first, and then make a peace." Bai Sha said to the three of them.

The crew returned to their ships one after another, and then Bai Sha followed the three of them back to their own warship.

In addition to the brothers who died in the battle that day, there were many seriously injured brothers left, but now Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua are in the team, and the two of them insist on burying the brothers who died in the war, so when Bai Sha first arrived, no one was found on the ship.

After returning to the room on the warship and sitting down, Li Qiao'er still started to get busy as before, but although her body was constantly busy, her eyes had obviously lost her luster and looked a little sluggish.

Bai Sha looked at everyone and said, "What happened during the time I left?" ”

Qiu Tian and the others actually didn't know what the whole thing was, and only Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua, who had been staying on this warship, knew what happened.

Li Kuiqi's fingers were lowered from the top of the black beard on his face, and he said slowly: "Yin Mo later told the captain that after we arrived in Luzon, the first mate had come to the fleet, and the first mate must have known about the previous things, so I will start from the future." Li Yao, the intelligence leader under Li Dan, has come twice, but he has not gained anything, and he has been staying on the dock since then, and this time has been calm. However, just the day before yesterday, Li Yao, who had not moved, suddenly moved, took dozens of people with smooth tendons and acupuncture, and united more than a dozen boats docked on the edge of the dock to attack us suddenly. We relied on the superiority of artillery to defeat all the ships and take down half of the people with smooth muscles, and on this warship was Yin Mo and the captain in charge, Yin Mo almost killed all the people with smooth muscles except Li Yao with a single blow, and we have won so far. But just as we were about to leave this place of right and wrong, Li Jian, who had been behind Huang Que all along, appeared, and he took Yin Mo and the captain away without expending any strength. We left the Luzon docks and came here......"

Bai Sha almost understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, it seems that today's news is really related to the fleet, and the people who were transferred in the market town should have received Li Yao's instructions, so they are right.

There is no need for Li Kuiqi to elaborate, Bai Sha knew that there were heavy casualties in this battle, and Bai Sha did not expect Li Yao to make a sudden move, which was a point he couldn't think clearly.

"I did secretly board the fleet at the beginning, Qiu Tian was present at the time, and that night Yin Mole's predecessor told me, saying that Li Yao would not act rashly, and I chose to leave after I felt safe, Yin Mole's predecessor used a treasure map to contain Li Yao, and my disappearance will also make Li Jian's actions stagnate, everything is designed, why did the other party suddenly make a move?" Bai Sha asked the question in his heart.

Li Kuiqi shook his head and said: "I don't know the reason, but when Li Yao came to the fleet for the second time, he seemed to be very interested in the identity of Yin Mole, and the final purpose was to hide the treasure map and take away Yin Mole. ”

Bai Sha still couldn't figure out why, he knew that Yin Mole's predecessor was a master, and his identity might not be simple, but just because he was curious about a person's identity, he would suddenly can't help but make a move, and this reason is not particularly sufficient.

It is also a normal thing for Bai Sha to think so, although he only knows that Yin Mole is not simple, but he doesn't know what major secrets the other party is carrying. For Yin Mole's predecessors to kill more than a dozen people with smooth meridians all over his body with his own strength, Bai Sha was speechless, this was too powerful, and there were masters like Li Yao mixed in.

After understanding what happened, Bai Sha was silent, he originally wanted to rush to Luzon, and now there is no need to continue to go when he encounters the fleet here, and now he needs to think about what to do next. How the fleet will settle down next, how to rescue Zheng Zhilong and Yin Mole, these things need to be led by him.

Yin Mole's predecessors and Zheng Zhilong were finally taken away by Li Jian, Bai Sha didn't know the relationship between Li Yao and Li Jian, anyway, Li Jian took Zheng Zhilong away to force himself to appear, Zheng Zhilong at least would not be in danger of life before he appeared, as for Yin Mole, since Li Yao insisted on exploring the secret, he could also protect himself by means of Yin Mole, so now Bai Sha is not hot-headed and ready to save people immediately, he doesn't have the strength to do so now, so he can only take one step at a time and settle down the fleet first.

Bai Sha said: "Now that the strength of the fleet has been sharply reduced, how much combat effectiveness is still maintained?" ”

Qiu Tian said with some frustration: "At that time, there were only four warships participating in the battle, and they were sent out under the cover of cargo ships, so the brothers who were killed and seriously injured in the battle were all selected by the first mate, and they were all elites, so the losses this time were immeasurable." ”

Bai Sha thought of the brothers who died in the battle, and his heart ached, he was going to see the brothers who had been buried, but he was afraid, he didn't dare to face these dead crew brothers, because he didn't show up from the beginning to the end of the battle, he didn't do anything for the fleet, but he appeared at the end of the battle, how did he explain to the dead brothers, and even how did he want to explain to the living brothers? Suddenly, the emotion of self-blame filled Bai Sha's heart.

Da Biao secretly wiped a handful of tears, squeezed out a smile and said, "As long as the first mate comes back, everything will be fine." ”

Bai Sha took a deep breath and said, "The captain and senior Yin Mo have been taken away, and I will take over the fleet next." I didn't expect this to happen all of a sudden, it was my mistake, and I didn't help my brothers in the fight, it was my fault. But then it's time for me to do something. We first reorganized the fleet, and then after formulating a plan, we were ready to rescue the captain and senior Yin Mole, and the next thing we had to do was these two things. ”

Hearing that Bai Sha had a plan to rescue Zheng Zhilong, Li Qiao'er, who had lost her soul, regained her luster in her eyes, and hurriedly took a few steps closer to grab Bai Sha's arm and said, "First mate, you must do what you say, and you must save the captain." ”

Looking at Li Qiao'er holding his arm, Bai Sha only felt a sadness in his heart, and he couldn't say a thousand words in his heart, so he could only nod his head and agree to the other party.

Li Kuiqi was already in tears at this time, looking at his daughter's walking corpse during this time, no one could persuade him, he couldn't listen to anyone's promises, his daughter couldn't see it clearly as a father, but he didn't expect Baisha's promise to make her daughter rejuvenate, it seems that now she only believes that Baisha can do this.

Bai Sha found an empty cup, poured a glass of water for Li Qiao'er in person, and said: "You only know how to serve tea and water to everyone, but you forgot yourself, the first mate personally poured tea for you, Zheng Zhilong is my good brother, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will rescue him." You have to cheer up, otherwise Zheng Zhilong will see your appearance and think that I didn't take good care of you. ”

Li Qiao'er couldn't stop crying, picked up the tea poured by Baisha himself and drank it in one sip, the bitter tea now has a different taste, she got Baisha's promise, in her impression, Baisha has not failed, so she unconditionally believes that Baisha can do what she says.

After comforting Li Qiao'er, Bai Sha looked at the people in the room, and said with some feelings: "In the past, everyone seemed to have hopes and dependents, but now that the captain is gone, and Yin Mole's predecessors are gone, so we have to provoke Liang Zi and continue to walk, each of you is a natural leader, so you must be strong in the future, and you can't always think about enjoying it after you have something to rely on." Li Kuiqi and Niu Xiaohua used to be captains, and Zheng Zhilong and I promised you that when we arrived in Luzon, we would let the two of them grow their own forces, but now this can't be done for the time being. ”

Bai Sha paused and continued: "But we don't just have an option in Luzon, we can still go to other places to recruit crews, but now we need money, a lot of money. ”

In the past, all the economic expenditures of the fleet were controlled by Zheng Zhilong, but Bai Sha actually had no concept of money after coming to the fleet, and he didn't know how many silver taels were left in the fleet, and now it was time to liquidate.

Bai Sha knew that all the silver taels of the fleet were hidden in a small compartment in the cabin of this warship, Bai Sha led everyone into the small compartment, opened all the boxes and counted the silver, and found that there was not much silver left in the fleet, and even the families of the crew members who died in the war were probably not enough, in general, the fleet is now very short of money and needs a lot of money.

Now the strength of the fleet is already weak, without the support of silver, it will only be difficult, and the current situation of the fleet is really good and coincides with what Bai Sha thinks in his heart, that is, to continue to make money now, so as to support the operation of the fleet.

The plan in Bai Sha's heart has quietly risen, he knows what is the fastest way to get money at sea, and he also knows what he should do next......
