Wakuni, 50 kilometers northwest of Kuga Island.

Six boats, one in the front and one in the middle and five in the back, were full sails and were heading due south at full speed.

The ship at the front is a cangshan iron; On the only mast in the middle of the deck, a half-new cloth sail full of bamboo ribs was turned to the second position for better weathering; On both sides of the bilge, three on each side, and six large oars stretched out long, rowing desperately in the sea with the same frequency; On both sides of the ship, sailors were constantly throwing all sorts of things into the sea: powder kegs, flour bags, iron projectiles, and even large rolls of Matsue cloth......

"Tom~~!"

A high column of water splashed beside the iron of Cangshan - not shelled, but a 6-pounder Franc cannon was thrown into the sea.

It seems that in order to escape for his life, the captain of Cangshan Iron has been desperate, and even gave up the last weapon of resistance, just to make the ship lighter and faster.

There is a big golden phoenix flag erected on the high stern of the boat, and there are two girls in brocade standing under it, needless to say, it is the eldest aunt Yan Ruxue and her little maid Xiaoluo.

"This fleet is clearly Uncle Ji's!" Xiao Luo was so anxious that he fell to his feet, his little face turned red, and he looked at the tall Galen ship about a mile away from Cangshan Tie and muttered, "How can there be a red-haired ship?" There is also a black circle cross painted on the bow of the ship? It's weird! ”

Yan Ruxue pouted and said, "Huh! How many times have I told you, he is not my Uncle Ji, he ...... He's a bastard! …… I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him! ”

Xiaoluo listened to her words so much that her ears became calloused, and she ignored her, muttering in a low voice, "I advise you not to sneak out, now it's okay, I was caught by Uncle Ji!" ”

The little witch has been bored in Hazel Island for a long time. Suffering from lovesickness, she was left on Hakushima Island by Li Guozhu and them, trying to prevent her from sneaking to Ushijima - this wedding has not even been decided, and if the bride herself runs to the man's house, their old faces will not be able to hang up.

But after Li Guozhu agreed to Chu Fan's plan a few days ago, the entire Hakuji Island immediately became busy; If the huge family business is to be moved, the people who build the house at the front station are indispensable - Heng can't let the big guys of the six families be the same as Chu Fan. Why don't you live in a tent and build a house on Jeju Island?

Such a big matter, it would be wishful thinking to hide it from the eccentric Yan Ruxue - she would find out the truth on the third day!

After the little witch was overjoyed, a spring heart couldn't hold back - she was willing to obey the uncles' earnest teachings, so she was patient to stay on the island; But now that she wants to build a new home on Jeju Island, she used to be justified, and it was also the territory of the Yan family!

So she entangled Li Guozhu, who was still recuperating, how could Li Guozhu refuse with a mouthful, of course, it was very clever, such as where has nothing built on Jeju Island? For example, Jeju Island is still not restful; Even the moves to coax the child were taken out. If you say that there are monsters and beasts, you must first ask the Taoist priest to collect them before you can go over to Yunyun.

After pestering for two or three days and failing to get her wish, Yan Ruxue went back to her yard angrily and couldn't get out - to say that in order to see Yan Ruxue, the six families really took great pains, and there were thirty or forty maids and women living in her small courtyard inside and out.

Xiaoluo thought that under such strict guard, Yan Ruxue should have completely lost the heart to go to Jeju Island, but she didn't expect to kill Xiaoluo. Yan Ruxue actually hid so much sweat, and even she, a confidant, was obsessed with it - the little witch secretly drugged everyone's meals the night before yesterday!

Wait until late at night. Yan Ruxue woke her up with cold water and told her that she was going to steal a boat to Jeju Island.

Xiaoluo secretly complained in her heart, but she couldn't disobey her, so she had to obey her; The master and servant changed into night clothes, took a small burden and went out, and secretly came to the dock of Hazel Island. Unknowingly, she got into the bilge of this Cangshan Iron - Yan Ruxue had already inquired clearly, and the ship was going to Nagasaki to deliver cloth the next day.

When she went to sea early yesterday morning and sailed away from Hakumi Island for about an hour, Yan Ruxue swaggered onto the deck and looked at the head of the ship dumbfounded-he was Lin Sanwa's nephew. His name is Lin Yaozu.

After a little coercion, Lin Yaozu gave up resistance, obediently obeyed Yan Ruxue's request, and turned to the north - the people of the six families, the more they bowed to Aunt Yan the more they went down, this was the result of the six families desperately raising the status of the Yan family in order to unite together.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Luo's heart was a lot colder - Lin Yaozu obeyed his orders, and his own young lady made a detour to the north that no one could have imagined, and it was strange that Li Guozhu could find it!

Sure enough, when Cangshan Tetsu spent a day detouring to Nozaki Island in the north of Goto, none of the six boats caught up!

There was a small strait to the south of Nozaki Island, from where Cangshan Tetsu had turned west when it was dark yesterday, but in the twilight, no one noticed that a fleet of ships was quietly behind them.

When they had already sailed a hundred miles away from Nozaki Island at dawn this morning, they suddenly found that the fleet of five ships behind them was only four or five miles away!

Lin Yaozu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized that the No. 2 Fu Boat was Chen Xinji's ship, but like Xiaoluo, he couldn't figure out why Chen Xinji's subordinates had an extra red-haired Galen ship with all soft sails!

Chen Xinji and the six families broke up with the whole island, of course, Lin Yaozu also knew what would happen if the aunt fell into the hands of Chen Xinji, so he immediately decided to run south along the northwest wind - he ran the old sea, knowing that the Galen ship was faster than his own Cangshan Iron in the headwind, the only thing that was not much different between the two sides was the crosswind boat, plus the six families in order to search for Yan Ruxue, they would definitely scatter ships near the five islands in the south, so this became the only chance for Cangshan Iron to escape!

"Report!"

Just as Yan Ruxue's master and servant were looking at the Galen ship and muttering, Lin Yaozu ran to the stern of the boat, knelt down on one knee and reported, "Auntie, almost everything that should be thrown on the boat is gone, what should I do next?" Please show my aunt! ”

Yan Ruxue turned her head to look at the sailors on the deck who were carrying heavy Songjiang cloth to the side of the ship, her eyes rolled for a while, and she suddenly raised her voice, "Wait! ”

After shouting, she didn't care about the stunned expressions of the sailors, looked up at the mainsail full of wind, tilted her head and muttered in a low voice, "The bad guy has so many eyes, and a turn of his eyes is an idea, am I worse than him?" ”

Thinking about it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked Lin Yaozu eagerly, "The spare materials on the ship haven't been thrown away yet, right?" After receiving an affirmative answer, she said proudly, "Fix it with spare materials, and hang Songjiang cloth on both sides of the mainsail...... Hum! My oversized mainsail is certainly not as bad as his wingsail! ”

Lin Yaozu was already obedient to her aunt's words, and her idea could obviously speed up the escape, so of course she immediately took people to start urgently transforming the mainsail.

In just half an hour, two oddly soft sails were added to either side of the mainsail, and everyone on board clearly felt that the speed of the boat had increased.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, there was a "click", and the overwhelmed left waist rudder broke!

Cangshan Tie immediately turned to the southeast, and after urgently adjusting the direction of the mainsail, everyone on board found in despair that the Galen ship had taken advantage of the tailwind to shorten the distance that had just been pulled away again!

Looking at the Galen ship that was getting closer little by little, Xiao Luo's heart was full of despair.

What to do?! (To be continued.) )
