The condition of the Wangjia Salt Farm was very miserable, and the Japanese invaders burned down all the buildings, leaving not even a single living person, and all of them were wiped out.

Li Ling was very heartbroken, and he really couldn't imagine how cruel those so-called would-be robbers could be to do such evil things, and a nameless anger began to burn in his chest.

Although the Wang Family Salt Farm rejected him, it was hundreds of living lives!

He swore revenge on the brutes, though he didn't know how many wouldn't have landed.

These unconscionable pirates have not left after sacking the Wang's salt works, and they may have even greater plans.

After instructing the long-term workers to go and find the nearest garrison here, he felt that it was better to take advantage of the darkness to investigate and understand, and to know himself and the enemy, so that he could strategize.

"I'm going with you!". Yang Ying suddenly said solemnly, this tone is not like a pleading, but more like an order, her fiancé is just an ordinary scholar, where can she rest assured that he will do such a dangerous thing?

The two did not talk behind the other people's backs, nor did they deliberately lower their voices, and when they discussed with each other, everyone in the room knew what they were thinking.

The guards were the first to raise doubts, they were ordered to protect Li Ling and Yang Ying, how could they let the two of them take risks?

The long-term workers also mean this, the Li family treats them very well, and more importantly, this time the eldest young master also saved his life, if he hadn't led those guards into the salt farm, I am afraid that their fate will be the same as that of the Wang family's salt farm, and it will be difficult to escape the fate of being killed.

"Young Master, don't fight, let's go, my water is good, even if I stay in the water for half a day, it's fine!" Seeing that the others were deadlocked, Hachi volunteered to stand up.

As soon as they saw Xiaoba talking, the long-term workers stopped talking, this kid grew up with his father on the beach since he was a child, and he can be said to have withstood the wind and waves, and his water nature and other idlers are incomparable.

Speaking of water, the guards also quieted down, most of these people were born in the Northland, and it is rare to see the river several times a year, let alone be proficient in water.

"No, I can't. This matter is not something that anyone else can do for me, I must go and see the true strength of the Japanese bandits, so that I can make a plan to deal with them! ”。

Having said that, Li Ling felt that there would not be too many Japanese invaders this time, and that there were no new Japanese invaders after they attacked and were defeated by the people in the salt field, which may be a sign of their lack of troops.

When the sun was setting and night fell, Li Ling and Yang Ying quietly left the salt farm, and according to the route described by Xiao Ba, they easily came to the beach.

The sea here is wave after wave, and the loud sound of the water drowns out the sound of the two walking, and the two of them slowly patrol the boats in the water as they step on the water.

After searching for more than half an hour, the two men determined that there was only one large ship docked on the shore.

"There will be dozens of pirates up there!". Li Ling looked at it for a while before he said firmly.

He had been to the salt works before, and he had heard about pirate ships, and such ones were medium-sized, carrying no more than sixty people at most.

The large ship can carry hundreds of people, but it also has the obvious weakness of moving slowly, and often by the time it turns around and docks on the shore, the civilians have either fled or they have notified the local defenders.

Generally speaking, the robbers who came to rob did not use such large ships.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a ban on the sea, Emperor Taizu had already had a clear training, where the people of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to go to sea, the two had never seen such a large ship, and their understanding of it was only half-understood.

When Li Ling was thinking about how to figure out the strength of the Japanese on the boat, he felt a gust of incense blowing over, and then his hand tightened, but it was Yang Ying who pulled him step by step into the sea.

Although it was summer, the sea was still a little cold, and the two of them supported each other step by step to approach the big boat.

There was a bustling sound from the bow of the ship, mixed with bursts of laughter, and it seemed that the bandits had gained so much today that they had forgotten that a dozen of their companions had lost their lives for it.

A light slanted down, and then the place where Li Ling and Yang Ying were was getting brighter and brighter.

"Oops! The Wako actually used the light to inspect the sea! ”。 Li Ling didn't have time to think about it, he first pressed Yang Ying into the water, and he also plunged into it.

The light of the oil lamp stopped on the surface of the sea, and it did not move for a long time, when a slight sea breeze blew, waving layers of waves.

As soon as Yang Ying's head entered the water, her whole body began to tremble, and then she struggled involuntarily, trying to get rid of Li Ling's restraints.

She didn't know how to water, Li Xiucai then remembered that his fiancée was an out-and-out northerner, and according to her current performance, she must be a landlubber.

The two of them went deep into the tiger's den, and the light stayed on their heads for a long time, and it was obvious that the Japanese who was carrying the oil lamp for inspection attached great importance to this open land, and if the other party found out, he was afraid that the lives of the two would be confessed here.

Yang Ying trembled even more, she also knew that now was not the time to expose herself, desperately couldn't bear to expose her head to the sea, she couldn't control her hands and feet, her hands kept moving,

Li Ling was very helpless, if he continued like this, even if he was lucky enough not to be discovered, Yang Ying would be suffocated to death!

Time was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he bit Yang Ying's lip and crossed the oxygen in his mouth.

Yang Ying instinctively opened her mouth, greedily absorbing the rare air.

The light gradually moved away from the sea where they were, and Li Ling and Yang Ying stretched their heads out of the sea together.

The two of them breathed in the fresh air, and Li Ling suddenly found that he was still biting Yang Ying's lip, which was astringent and had a faint fragrance. HE WAS A LITTLE RELUCTANT, AND TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO KISS THE OTHER PARTY A FEW TIMES.

Yang Ying's face turned red all of a sudden, and she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, so she could only hide her shyness through the thick night.

Through repeated observations, the two found that there were three waves of Japanese robbers on duty, a total of twenty or thirty people.

"It seems that there are only more than thirty people on this ship, now that the matter is clear, let's leave!".

In the middle of the moon, the two finally figured out the specific situation on the ship. Holding hands, they groped their way back to the shore.

The sea was cold, and when they arrived at the shore, the two of them were already shivering from the cold.

"Hold on, as soon as the morning dawns, the soldiers will come!". Li Ling glanced at Yang Ying and walked up to her to comfort her.

He had already sent someone to find the local garrison, and according to the distance, he was already at the salt works by this time. After dawn, they should be able to come to their aid.

After all, Yang Ying is a person who practices martial arts, and her physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, she understood what Li Ling meant, knew that the other party was comforting herself, and couldn't help but smile at her fiancé.

Both of their clothes were soaked with water, and neither of them felt sleepy. They began to confide in each other, and right on the beach by the sea, they opened their hearts to each other.

When the sky was just dawning, Li Ling was awakened by a chill, and when he looked up, the big ship still hadn't gone far, and their reinforcements hadn't arrived.

As soon as daylight came, the Japanese on the big ship resumed their movements, and they jumped out of the boat in groups of three or five, apparently to go ashore to plunder.

Fortunately, they deliberately walked to a place far away from the big ship, otherwise they were afraid that they would really be discovered.

Li Ling hid behind a huge rock, and kept counting the widows who got off the big ship, thirty-eight, and it seemed that there were not many people stationed on the big ship.

"Shall we go over to the ship?" Yang Ying didn't know when she woke up, and when she saw Li Ling meticulously counting the widows, she proposed to him.

"Okay, but be careful!". Li Xiucai pondered for a moment and agreed, there were no more people left on the big ship, and it might be a good time to sneak attack them at this time.

The two took the opportunity to sneak under the big boat and quietly climbed onto the boat.

It's just that no one noticed them all the time.

They had just climbed aboard the boat, but before they could figure out the arrangement of the ship, three would-be would-be robbers came upon them.

"Whoosh, whoosh". Two sounds broke through the air, and the two would-be robbers fell down in response, and the other one was furious when he saw that his companion had lost his life like this, and ran towards the two while calling out what Li Ling did not understand.

He shouted for help with such fanfare, he was destined to not save his life, and Yang Ying shot another arrow, hitting him in the shoulder. Then he flew a few steps to the side of the wolf, took out a long knife from his back, and killed him with one slash.

It's just that in this way, they completely alarmed the Japanese on the ship, but it was not easy to escape smoothly, and voices sounded in all directions, as if there were Japanese robbers everywhere.

"You hide yourself first!". Yang Ying didn't care about saying much at this time, and pushed her fiancé into a boat, she had already calculated, there were only two or three widows left on this boat, and she could still deal with it.

Li Ling fell into a cargo hold in front of his eyes, how could he leave Yang Ying alone to face the cruel widows at this time? It's just that when he wants to go back to the deck again to help her, every time he discovers something shocking.

There were many living people stored in this cabin, and with the help of the dim light, he found that these people were actually women from the royal family's salt works, and they were all tied with their hands behind their backs, and a ball of white cloth was stuffed in their mouths.

Li Ling didn't say a word and began to loosen the ties for these people. At this time, Yang Ying hurriedly walked over, and a few Japanese robbers came back from the shore, and they were about to go to the boat.
