As the sun sets, the sky is still burning with an orange-red sunset, reflecting on the surface of the sea, rendering the originally deep blue water into orange-red, and the water and the sky are no longer distinguishable from each other. Seagulls hover in the air, chirping, and the peaceful atmosphere is soothing.

"Ha ......"

Yawning and stretching, Chengzuo lazily came to the bow of the ship on the deck, looked around, leaned lazily on the boat railing, and looked at the sea boredly. Behind him, Haoda rarely stayed by Mao Wenlong's side, but came to the deck with Cheng Zuo to breathe the wind.

At this time, he saw Cheng Zuo's boring look, pursed his lips and said, "How long are we going to sail on this sea?" It's been three days since I came out, not to mention pirates, I haven't even seen a single ship. ”

On this voyage, Chengzuo and they did not play, but used this warship dressed as a merchant ship to attract pirates entrenched in the vicinity. But he sailed for three days, but he did not see a pirate.

This is not to mention huge, even Chengzuo himself began to doubt whether Mao Wenlong's method was feasible? Cheng Zuo turned around, looked at the same boring vastness, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to complain, you have to go to the chief soldier, it's useless for you to complain to me." ”

Haoda directly rolled his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "If I dare to complain to the general soldier, I still need you to talk about it." ”

Cheng Zuo showed a wry smile: "Then you mean that you want me to go and give advice to the chief soldier, right?" ”

Haoda suddenly showed a big smile on his face, and said: "Of course, you have to say something like this, and it's not inappropriate for me as a guard to say this!" ”

Cheng Zuo immediately refused: "Don't talk about it, either you can say it yourself, or let this matter go like this." It's been three days anyway, and if the pirates haven't shown up yet, then we'll need to return. ”

Haoda suddenly felt reasonable, and he nodded and agreed with Cheng Zuo's statement. And at this moment, a shout came from the lookout platform on the high pole: "There are ships, and there are three ships due south......"

Cheng Zuo and Hao Da were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they came to their senses, and without saying a word, they quickly snatched the telescope from the guard beside them. I looked around due south, but found that there were no three ships at all.

The great fiery temper immediately came up, and he turned sharply to shout at the man who warned him on the trickster. Unexpectedly, he just opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, Cheng Zuo pulled the corner of his clothes: "Look, it's ...... coming."

Hurriedly picked up the telescope again, followed Cheng Zuo's guidance, and soon saw that three black dots gradually appeared on the line between the sea and the sky. At this moment, the distance is too far away, and only a shadow of a ship can be seen, and I can't really see it.

"Grandma's, what the hell is this ship? Isn't it a pirate? Haoda was very anxious, urging Chengzuo to ask.

"What's the hurry, who can see clearly from such a distance. But these three ships are coming straight for us, and if they're not pirates, they're bad guys. Cheng Zuo made a conclusion.

"Really? So should we prepare for the battle right away? Haoda immediately put down the telescope in his hand and said nervously.

After all, Haoda had no experience in naval warfare, so he was very nervous. Cheng Zuo then stopped staring at the ships rushing in the distance, he snorted coldly and said, "What's there to be nervous about with just three small boats, when they get close and see their identities, it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Although the words were easy, Cheng Zuo immediately ordered the guards to go and inform Mao Wenlong.

Haoda rolled his eyes and said no more. He knew that he didn't know anything about naval warfare, and if he continued to talk about it, he would only make a fool of himself in front of Chengzuo.

There was a small commotion at the exit of the cabin, and then Mao Wenlong's figure appeared, he hurriedly came to the two of them, and without saying a word, he picked up the telescope and prepared to watch. And Chengzuo was very knowledgeable, and hurriedly pointed out the direction to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong didn't say a word, followed Cheng Zuo's guidance, and soon saw three ships speeding towards this side. This will be much closer than just now, the three ships have come closer, and Mao Wenlong can already see the shape of the ship.

At first glance, Mao Wenlong felt strange, and he found that the shape of the three ships was actually something he had never seen before. The peculiar shape is like the shape of those ships that only exist in the ancient West in his memory.

After being stunned for a moment, Mao Wenlong handed the telescope to Cheng Zuo and said in a deep voice: "Look at whether those three ships are ships from overseas countries." ”

Cheng Zuo didn't dare to slack off, immediately took the binoculars, just glanced at it, and said with certainty: "Chief soldier, it is indeed those uncle's ships." ”

After receiving Cheng Zuo's confirmation, Mao Wenlong suddenly frowned: "Could it be that the pirates here also have Yi people mixed in?" ”

Cheng Zuo shook his head to show that he didn't know, and then said: "Please wait for a while, when I see their banners clearly, I can know whether they are pirates or razors." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and waited quietly. Cheng Zuo's eyes were already fixed on the three ships that were approaching rapidly, and after a while, the flags flying high on the three ships had entered Cheng Zuo's line of sight, and when he saw the three skeleton flags, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Cheng Zuo threw down the binoculars and said urgently: "Chief soldier, it's not good, it's the pirate ship that is coming." ”

Even Chengzuo became nervous, and Haoda suddenly became nervous. However, Mao Wenlong was quite calm, he asked coldly: "What is there to fear about Yiren, do you need to shout like this?" ”

Cheng Zuo's face was bitter, and he explained in a low voice: "The general soldiers don't know, this Yiren's artillery is extremely sharp, and their navigation skills are very superb. There is a rumor among those who seek to make a living at sea that it is better to encounter a pirate than a pirate. These people are so cruel that they may still survive in the face of the Japanese invaders, but when they encounter these Yi people, there is no chance of survival. ”

"Why?" Mao Wenlong didn't believe it, he didn't believe that these Yi people were really so bloodthirsty.

After all, most of the pirates are for money, and at sea, pirates everywhere are divided into regions. Once a pirate in a place is so murderous that people are scared to go, they will not survive.

Such a simple truth, there is no reason why people will not know. And being a pirate also has the rules of being a pirate, and he will never kill people casually, unless there is a grudge between the two sides, then it has to be a different matter.

Cheng Zuo was stunned for a moment by Mao Wenlong's question, and then he said: "Because these Yiren pirates don't understand our language, they often meet their people, and the two sides can't communicate at all. Once there is any misunderstanding, both parties will take action, and life and death are commonplace, which is why everyone is so afraid of encountering Yiren. ”
