At night, the sea was bitterly cold. After discussing whether the sky was round or the four people living on the same ball, they couldn't stand the cold wind like knives and went back to the house. The experienced helmsman took out the dry tobacco, lit it with a fire breaker, took two puffs, and knocked the smoked pot on the railing.

"Uncle Lao Ze, where is this?"

The old helmsman handed over the rudder to the juniors, leaned on the deck, wrapped the padded jacket tightly, and said in a low voice: "I guess I will go to Fuzhou with Ming'er." It's pitch black, and you can only touch it by experience. Alas, the rudder is steady, don't shake around. The old man shouted, "Yazi, your father didn't take over my rudder back then, so he sank into the sea." Do you regret it? ”

"What do you regret?" The boat tooth held the rudder intently, "If we don't come to sea, where else can we go?" The old helmsman sneered and said, "Yes, we rely on our skills and experience to eat, and if we leave this boat, we really have no work." Look at these dozens of boats of people, they are all so poor that they have no food to eat, so they were brought out to make a living. ”

"Uncle Lao Ze, I saw the lord this morning."

"Hmm, really? You baby, you're really going to die, you have such a fat guts. When you see the lord, you dare to look up, beware that the lord gouges out your eyeballs. Uncle Lao Ze seems to be addicted to smoking again, and wants to take out a cigarette stick and take two more sips. After thinking about it, he still forgot it, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, and said: "We can have a livelihood on the official ship, which is already a blessing from the ancestors, at least no one will die of hunger." Don't follow your father's example, fight with people, and die in the sea. ”

"My father killed the widows, he is a hero." The boat finally shouted out that sentence. Uncle Lao Ze, who was leaning on the side, knocked a chestnut on his head and said angrily: "What are you shouting about." Remember what Uncle Lao Ze said, being alive is more important than anything else. the rest of it. ”

"Hey, Yazi, don't you hear me?" The old helmsman on one side suddenly became solemn, and pressed the rough hand of the helm on the deck all his life. "What's the sound?"

"The sound of water!" The old helmsman whispered.

The rudder's teeth sighed and said, "Can there be no sound of water in this sea?" Uncle Lao Ze stood up and said, "It's the sound of the oars hitting the water." Let's go south with the wind, where will we paddle at this time? They all fell asleep in the bilge. Uncle Lao Ze took the rudder from the boat's hand and said, "Go, go over and have a look." Look good at you and see what's going on. ”

"Ugh."

"Teeth."

The old helmsman's chapped lips squirmed a few times, "Be careful. The wind on the deck was light, and the ship's teeth were stunned for a moment, and responded: "Alas. And he ran outside. He rested his hands on the planks and looked down with his feet folded. It was dark, and there seemed to be no movement, except for the sound of rushing water.

He tried to keep his eyes open and looked down, but he still couldn't see anything.

Boom!

Chemical element!

A large iron hook flew up from below, almost scraping on the hand of the ship's teeth. The large iron hook that had fallen on the ship quickly retracted, trying to latch onto the railing of the ship. The boat's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly threw the iron hook overboard...... However, before the big iron hook could be thrown out of the boat, thirty or forty hooks flew in.

Chuanyazi's pupils shrank, and he murmured in a trembling voice: "Wow...... The Japanese ......" voice was extremely frightened, he took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and shouted, "The Japanese are on the boat!" ”

This shout pierced the quiet night sky. Immediately followed by the sound of gongs, which spread throughout the entire fleet, Yang Fan's body that had just been lying down immediately turned over, got the black box hidden in the corner, took out the telescope from his chest, and installed it directly on the sniper rifle. When I held the gun in my hand again, I had the passion of the old man who had been sleeping for a long time, and I could finally fight together. The night vision goggles on the top allow him to clearly see the activities of people outside the cabin. His cabin was near the stern of the ship, and there was no deck, unless the group of pirates came to the ceiling above his head from behind, but that didn't affect his control of the whole situation.

The sailors on each ship drew their knives and controlled the movement of the refugees in the cabin.

"Don't move! Whoever moves cuts whom! ”

"Get back to your seats!"

The embroidered spring saury came out, alert to the movement on the deck. The plan was disrupted by the shout of the boat's teeth, and Liu Chun, who was looking from afar, shouted: "Damn, how can it be discovered!" ”

"Head, what should I do?"

"What to do? Put the signal and board the ship! There is no turning back when the bow is opened, everything on this ship is waste, and twenty or thirty people can calm the scene and put a signal! This ship, Lao Tzu is bound to win! ”

As soon as the signal was released, the would-be pirates began to board the ship. They were very fast, and they didn't have much time to do, and they came up with knives in their mouths, but before they could see the situation on the deck, several embroidered spring knives came over.

"Poof." The two hands just clasped the deck, and the wolf was directly slashed in the neck with a knife, and fell into the water with a muffled snort. It is simply impossible for this ocean-going ship to anchor in the middle of the sea, and it is too late. Finally, some of the Japanese robbers climbed onto the ship and swung their knives towards the Jinyi guards on the deck, each ship was only a dozen brocade guards, and there were as many as forty or fifty people on each Zheng Hebao ship.

With a twist of the knife in their hands, these skilled brocade guards directly knocked down the iron claws that were clasped on the railing. A few of the climbing pirates fell into the water.

"Chop Nong and kill West." Some of the Japanese who spoke the Wuyue dialect were also ruthless characters, and they were slashed with knives. For these long-trained brocade guards, brocade clothes walk at night, killing people like day, and the embroidered spring knife has become the sickle of death in the dark night, harvesting the widows who keep coming on the boat.

"It's not good, the idea is prickly, withdraw, withdraw!" These people saw that the people on the boat were all skilled, and they were difficult to match, and they jumped into the sea and the zipline of the zipline, and fled in rout. Yang Fan, who was in the cabin, put away the sniper rifle, he originally thought that he would have a bloody battle tonight, but he didn't expect that these brocade guards were so good that it would not be a problem to be ten. He walked out of the cabin and shouted, "Search carefully on the compartment to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”

The torches on the deck gradually lit, and in that situation just now, it was really difficult to ignite the fire, not to mention that the wind and waves at sea were so strong, if the ship was burned, it would be over. Fortunately, even if these sailors suppressed the rioting refugees, otherwise they all rushed to the deck, and then it would be chaotic, and then they would be mixed up, and they would not be able to distinguish who was a widow and who was a refugee.

"Sir, what's the situation?" Sun Yi, who had just come out of the cabin, realized that he didn't know what was going on, so he was pushed awake by Li Yuhuan on the side, rubbing his eyes and asking.

"Where's Master Yuanhua?"

Sun Yi said: "He, when he heard the commotion, he was so frightened that he hid in the cabin and didn't dare to come out." Yang Fan rolled his eyes, and secretly said that this Sun Yuanhua is really a useless guy. The fleet continued to pass on news, and when the news came from Jinyiwei, the casualties this time were not large. Except for the three treasure ships behind, more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the sailor division and the shipwrights died, and there were only some injured Jinyi guards and sailors on the rest of the ships.

The cabin was lit up, and footsteps could be heard on the deck. "Be honest with me!" Several brocade guards detained the remnants of the widow on the ship and entered Yang Fan's cabin.

"Sir, these are a few fish that have slipped through the net."

Yang Fan raised his head and said, "Whose subordinates are you?" The three people who came up didn't say a word, and Yang Fan waited for a moment, "Don't say it." I didn't bother to ask. Wrap stones around their feet and sink them into the sea. ”

When the three of them heard this, their pupils shrank, and they hurriedly begged for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." A few of us are Liu Xiang's subordinates, please spare your lives! The three of them kept kowtowing. Yang Fan said: "Liu Xiang's subordinates? Okay, let me ask you, why did this Liu Xiang come to attack the fleet? ”

"My lord, the specific situation of our minions is not very clear, but we know that Liu Xiang wants us to keep the boat, as if we want to confront Zheng Zhilong."

Yang Fan laughed secretly, it seems that this Liu Xiang, who was an old colleague with Zheng Zhilong in the past, can't get used to seeing Zheng Zhilong's family dominant, and has a grudge and wants to get a piece of the pie. At this time, Yang Fan, a big fish, passed by, and if he controlled these dozens of ships, he could have the strength to fight.

"Did he come aboard?"

"No, no."

Yang Fan said: "Wait until the sunrise tomorrow, you will show me the way to Liu Xiang, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, but you can be spared the death penalty." Clear, right? ”

"Listen...... Heard clearly. Thank you for not killing, thank you for not killing. The three widows were taken down, and Sun Yuanhua, who was behind, hurriedly came over and said, "Sir, these widows are all murderous without blinking, we don't have many troops, why do we have to find the door?" Can't we afford to provoke and hide? ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "You are so virtuous, you thought about settling things at the beginning, and you were played around by Kong Youde, a soldier, but you were also taken to the nest by others, but fortunately, Kong Youde still has a little conscience, let you go, otherwise you would have gone to see Lord Yama." As soon as Kong Youde was mentioned, Sun Yuanhua's face couldn't be hung up, and he said angrily: "He won't be proud for long." ”

Yang Fan smiled: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back to sleep early." After Sun Yuanhua left, Yang Fan slowly opened a carefully drawn chart, and this day and night, a young man drew a circle on a narrow waterway on the sea......
