Chapter 112: The Ugly Tide
Hearing Lu Zonghan talk about arresting pirates, Fu Bo's eyelids jumped, and his expression fluctuated slightly, and he quickly calmed down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This Lord of the Hundred Households, our Dongsha Town are all honest and responsible people, where are there any pirates!"
Ren Siqi saw that it caused a misunderstanding and had to interject.
"Don't be surprised, old man, we are not here for Dongsha Town, but to deal with a group of pirates entrenched in Chongfu Palace in the south of Daishan. However, when we first arrived, we were not very familiar with the pirates, and Bai Shun said that his family had a very close relationship with Dongsha Town, so he came to ask for advice. ”
Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Fu Bo's expression calmed down completely. He was afraid that the people in the government would act in the name of exterminating pirates, and there were not many innocent people among the coastal fishermen, and most of them had various things to do with pirates. Just like Dongsha Town, every year it has to provide a lot of food supplies to the pirates entrenched in Chongfu Palace in order to avoid harassment. However, rabbits don't eat grass next to their nests, and pirates don't harass the people of the island too much, after all, they still need the help of the people of the island for many things.
Since Ren Siqi and the others were not here to deal with Dongsha Town, Fu Bo was relieved.
Fu Bo worked as an archer in the Daishan Inspection Division when he was young, and now he is the Li Zheng of Dongsha Town, so he naturally wants the imperial court in his heart, and now he told Ren Siqi and Lu Zonghan the details of the pirates he knew, and expressed concern about Ren Siqi's strength.
"There are more than 100 pirates, seven or eight big ships, I'm afraid it's very difficult for your ship to exterminate pirates!" Fauber shook his head.
"Don't worry, old man, it's enough to deal with pirates on my ship." In front of outsiders, Ren Siqi was full of confidence.
"Oh!" Fauber's expression showed that he didn't believe Ren Siqi's words.
Ren Siqi smiled slightly, but did not explain. The strength of the "Flying Fish" is enough to crush the large warships of the Daming Navy, not to mention that all the pirates have are some large fishing boats. Even if he can't exterminate the pirates, Ren Siqi is confident that he can escape with his whole body, which is why he dares to come to Daishan. What's more, there are only 100 pirates now, and there are about 18 or 20 people in them as internal responses, and now Ren Siqi is full of confidence in exterminating pirates.
"Old man, you have been on this Daishan Island all your life, you must be familiar with the nearby waterways, can you send someone to lead the way for us and help exterminate the pirates?" Ren Siqi made a request.
For the suddenness of the attack, someone who knows the terrain must lead the way. Ren Siqi and Mao Eighteen agreed on the attack time tomorrow, and now he urgently needs a guide.
"Of course there's no problem with that." Fauber readily agreed, shouted outside, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked in.
"This is my grandson Sha Qianli, who grew up in this sea area since he was a child, and is familiar with all the terrain and waterways near Daishan, and he can be your guide." Fauber pointed to the boy.
With a lean figure, a dark face, smooth skin as if there was a layer of rust on it, although he was not very old, he looked like an old sailor, Ren Siqi fell in love with this boy at once.
"Here, this is your reward, and there will be heavy thanks after the deed." Ren Siqi took out three pieces of Yingyang from his arms and put them in the hands of the young Sha Qianli.
Sha Qianli excitedly picked up an eagle and put it in his mouth and bit it, "My lord, just rest assured, I am here to ensure that you will not get lost." Sha Qianli patted his chest and said.
"Oh, then I'll test you, how to go to the most convenient channel to Chongfu Palace in the south of Daishan?" Ren Siqi asked with interest.
"You can go around from the east to the west." Sha Qianli replied easily: "It is a little farther to go around the island from the west, but it is easier to walk by sea, and it is closer to the sea from the east, but there are many islands and reefs in the east, and it is easy for ships to run aground if they are not familiar with the shipping lane." ”
Sha Qianli was really familiar with the nearby sea conditions, and Ren Siqi couldn't help but nod approvingly.
Looking at Ren Siqi's approving look, Sha Qianli became excited: "In fact, there is the most convenient sea route to walk, which is to walk through the water pool in the middle of the East and West Daishan Islands. ”
"Nonsense!" Fu Bo smiled at first and listened to Sha Qianli's words, but then he reprimanded: "It's okay for that Shuipu to take a small boat, how can it be a big boat?" ”
Turning his head to look at Ren Siqi, he explained: "My lord must have seen the water pool when he came, it seems to be very wide, but in fact, in recent years, it has been seriously silted, and there have been many stranded ships, so I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the big ship." ”
Sha Qianli said proudly: "Of course others can't go, if I go, no matter how big a boat can pass." ”
"Uh, can't you spell?" Ren Siqi looked at Sha Qianli with interest.
"Of course I won't be able to spell, but." Sha Qianli said this, his eyes rolled slightly, but he stopped.
Looking at his cunning appearance, Ren Siqi was very funny, and immediately took out two silver coins and put them in his hands.
"Let's talk about it, as long as you can help me, the silver is not a problem."
Sha Qianli cheered, quickly put the silver coin into his arms, and then looked serious.
"Naturally, the water pool can't be used by big boats on weekdays, but every summer, the tide rises."
Fu Bo sneered and interrupted Sha Qianli's words: "How is the summer, can the tide rise and cross the big boat?" ”
"Grandpa, you can't usually cross a big boat, but have you forgotten Zi Chouchao? At night, the tide gradually increases, and when it is ugly, the water level rises to its highest, and then the big ship can naturally pass. However, when the ugly time passes, the tide will weaken, and the big ship will naturally be unable to pass through the water. Sha Qianli explained.
Listening to his grandson's words, Fu Bo was stunned for a long time, and Fang beat his head, "It's really old." He sighed.
"Actually, grandpa doesn't have to blame himself, who would take a boat through Shuipu in the middle of the night, so I'm afraid not many people know about the ugly tide in Daishan." Sha Qianli was smug.
"Look what you can!" Fu Bo glared at Sha Qianli dotingly.
"Brother Sha, can you pass through Shuipu at night? How much time does it take? Ren Siqi asked in surprise
"Of course, there is no problem with me, it only takes an hour to reach the south of Daishan through Shuipu." Sha Qianli said proudly.
Zi Shi set off, using the Zi Chou tide to pass through the water, and he will definitely be able to rush to the pirate's lair before dawn, and he can sneak attack the pirates without knowing it, Ren Siqi feels excited when he thinks about it. But is this Sa Qianli really trustworthy?
"Brother Sha, as long as you can help me exterminate the pirates, I will definitely thank you very much." Ren Siqi solemnly made a promise.
Sha Qianli agreed, promised to get on the boat when it was dark, and waited for the "Flying Fish" to pass through the water at night, and then went out in a hurry.
It was almost evening, and Fu Bo entertained Ren Siqi and others.
"You quietly go to the entrance to the waterpool, keep guard there, and if anyone passes through the waterpool by boat, leave and come back to report to me." Ren Siqi quietly called out to Jin Yufei and commanded.
