Cheng Zuo's explanation made Mao Wenlong no longer confused, and he also understood that Yiren was not a real murderer, and it was just a matter of the language barrier between the two sides. Thinking about it like this, Mao Wenlong didn't worry too much, asked Cheng Zuo to be prepared, and by the way, he sent out an arrow to notify the fleet lurking in the rear, preparing to meet these Yiren for a while.

The three pirate ships rode the wind and waves, and the speed was extremely fast, and Mao Wenlong's side had just made corresponding precautions, and they were already close to a distance of less than 100 meters. By this time, both sides were able to see each other's faces standing on the deck through their binoculars.

The so-called Yi people also appeared in Mao Wenlong's sight, as Cheng Zuo expected, these people are indeed Yi people. There was not a single Ming man in Mao Wenlong's sight, and it was obvious that this was a pure Yiren pirate.

At a distance of fifty meters, the fleet of the Yiren slowly stopped, and the fleet of the Yiren pirates did not implement an outflanking formation, but stopped side by side. That doesn't show how malicious they are.

But at this moment, there was still a trace of tension between the two sides, after all, the distance of about fifty meters was completely within the range of each other's artillery. Once the fight starts, it is very likely that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Cheng Zuo had already run into the cabin at this moment, personally commanding the gunners, and the five guns on the side had been loaded with gunpowder, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the Yiren pirate ship in the middle. Now with only Mao Wenlong's order, Cheng Zuo believes that he can dismember this ship in a short period of time.

Mao Wenlong was still standing proudly on the bow of the ship, and he could see that the Yiren pirates did not seem to have the intention of fighting, so they did not hide back in the cabin. But this is Mao Wenlong's wishful thinking, as a personal guard, Mao Wenlong's safety is all his responsibility.

Therefore, regardless of whether Mao Wenlong agrees or not, he immediately ordered to arrange for the ignition of the only hot air balloon equipped on the ship, ready to take off at any time.

The two sides were in a strange confrontation at the moment, and the pirates did not take any action. Mao Wenlong's side did not understand and did not act rashly, and the two sides confronted each other strangely like this, and there was no movement for a long time.

The seagulls hovering in the air also seemed to feel a strange atmosphere at this moment and fled one after another. And at this moment, the Yiren pirates, who hadn't seen any action for a long time, began to move. The three pirate ships, except for the middle one, the other two began to slowly turn around. When the two warships faced Mao Wenlong's warship on the side, they stopped.

Obviously, this is the pirate's posture of attacking, and it is also a move to test Mao Wenlong's reaction. Cheng Zuo was particularly nervous, just now when the pirate ship moved, he almost didn't control himself, and almost ordered the cannon directly.

Fortunately, at the last critical moment, Chengzuo still restrained himself, which did not cause irreparable results.

Mao Wenlong was also nervous, but fortunately, the Yiren pirates just put on an offensive posture, but there was no follow-up, which made Mao Wenlong breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, the two sides are too close, and Mao Wenlong only has one warship, but the other party has three.

No matter how sharp Mao Wenlong's artillery is, it can't deal with three ships at the same time. Therefore, once the battle starts at this time, Mao Wenlong's warship can only kill one pirate ship at most. At the same time, Mao Wenlong will inevitably be killed by two other pirate ships.

Pinching a cold sweat, Mao Wenlong immediately turned around and asked the vast man beside him: "Hasn't the warship behind us arrived yet?" ”

Haoda shook his head and said, "The chief soldiers, for their concealment, they are too far behind. If they want to come, it will take a little time. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, but such a basket appeared at this critical moment, which is really hateful.

Here, Mao Wenlong was anxious, but the Yiren pirates made a move again, and saw two small boats slowly heading towards Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong looked at it and found that there were still four Yi people on the boat.

The two pirate boats slowly approached, stopping at a distance of more than ten meters, and then a bearded man began to scream a lot.

Mao Wenlong looked at them but couldn't tell what country it was, and the Fanwaiyi people at this moment all looked the same in the eyes of the Ming people. At most, there is a difference in skin color, but it is impossible to tell which race it is. In addition, Mao Wenlong couldn't understand what they said, and for a while, everyone was confused.

Haoda suddenly snatched a musket from the guard's hand, and came to Mao Wenlong to ask for his life: "Chief soldier, let his subordinates beat him to death." ”

Mao Wenlong's fierce eyes glared viciously, and frightened back the vastness of blood and qi, and then said: "Wait patiently, try to communicate with them, and no one is allowed to act rashly before the warship behind us arrives." ”

Hao Nature didn't dare to say much, and after respectfully saying yes, he obediently retreated. Mao Wenlong swept his eyes around him, and suddenly found that there seemed to be no one beside him who could communicate with Yiren.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to go into battle himself, turned to face the Yiren pirates who were still on the boat, Mao Wenlong told them that he couldn't understand what they said?

After a hurried gesture, it seemed to have an effect, and I saw that the Yiren who had just been shouting and screaming was quiet. The four people on the boat began to talk to each other in a low voice, and after a while, they saw the bearded Yiren talking to Mao Wenlong with a shout.

This time, the Yiren spoke very slowly, and they were also equipped with gestures, Mao Wenlong used his broken English, even guessing and imagining, and it took a lot of effort to figure out what these Yiren meant.

It turned out that these Yi people were pirates entrenched here, and now the place where Mao Wenlong parked his ship has entered the territory under their jurisdiction. They are warning Mao Wenlong that if they don't want to cause more trouble, they must pay the money and leave quickly.

This is a clear robbery, but Mao Wenlong can't lose his temper, but this is also in line with Mao Wenlong's intentions. He had come here to look for pirates, and now that he had found them by mistake, he could not leave like this.

Mao Wenlong immediately turned around and asked Haoda again: "How long will it take for our people to arrive?" ”

Haoda watched Mao Wenlong compare with those Yi people, he really couldn't understand it, and he felt that Mao Wenlong's appearance at the moment was very funny. He almost laughed out loud just now, but fortunately he used all his strength to hold back his laughter.

This was coldly drunk by Mao Wenlong, and he was shocked back to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "Chief soldier, if you have one more meal, they can arrive." ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face: "Very good, this time I will let these Yi people know the power of our Dongjiang Army." ”
