Zhang Wanjun stood up, walked straight to the door and opened the door, and the cold wind poured in. He sighed and said, "Okay. ”

Yang Shengjie showed a smile and ran out after Zhang Wanjun.

Lao Ke silently put away the paper roll, he looked a little tired.

Hong Qiye lowered his head, moved his neck from side to side, touched the corners of his forehead, and whispered, "Old Ke...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

Lao Ke didn't say anything.

“…… Actually, to the sky...... Xiang Tian didn't agree, maybe he had his own troubles......"

"Brother and sister...... Pregnant. Lao Ke said in a low voice.

Hong Qiye Mu Ran's face loosened slightly: "Maybe...... Maybe there are other reasons......"

Lao Ke finally turned around.

“…… Xiang Tian, Xiang Tian may have his own troubles, and he is unwilling to affect us...... Just like once upon a time. "It's been a long time since I've said so many words, Hong Qiye swallowed his saliva, "I can smell some dangerous breath." ”

"Is that so?" Lao Ke pondered, "Is it something else?" ”

The sea breeze was blowing from the east, and the harbor was much quieter than usual, and the place they chose to live was very close to the port, so it would be much easier to evacuate. There are many liquor shops on the long street near the port, and there is really not much business at the moment.

The dishes were already cold and covered with a thin layer of light oil. Zhang Wanjun's face was faintly red, and there were several porcelain pots in front of him that could only hold a pound of wine. He was not good at drinking, let alone the spirits of the harbor. Yang Shengjie sat down at the bottom and began to persuade him a few words, but he didn't get a response, which made the young pirate a little embarrassed, so he simply drank with him. After a few cups of aging, Yang Shengjie felt like he had been punched in the head. I don't know what to say. There was something indescribable in Zhang Wanjun's eyes. He looked out the window at the waves. Drink slowly, and slowly pour empty glasses. There was no fire in the room, the cold brushed the hair on his forehead, Zhang Wanjun's face became redder and redder, but the throbbing luster in his eyes quieted down.

"Brother Wanjun." Yang Shengjie drank a glass of wine, slapped the table and stood up, "It's me, it's all my fault." If I stop Big Brother. Nothing will happen. I'll go tell Lao Ke, let's ...... We can't ......" The wine was strong, and he shook it, forgetting how to say the following words.

Hong Qiye walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

Yang Shengjie was a little surprised, he had never seen Hong Qiye drinking, this person had one eye open when he slept. Zhang Wanjun's stunned was only momentary, and then he also raised his glass. After Yang Shengjie drank this cup, he felt that his heart was warm, but it was not the strength of the wine. Three people stood on a foreign land. I want to do one thing with my life, in order to save many companions. Yang Shengjie felt that pirates were not as ruthless as the legend suggests.

Hong Qiye's actions were somewhat unexpected. He poured the wine again and put the cup in front of Zhang Wanjun's eyes. Zhang Wanjun looked at him and filled his own cup as well. They drank cup after glass until all the jugs were empty. Wiping their mouths, the two looked at each other and laughed softly.

"Yu Yangshui is back." After laughing, Hong Qiye said, raising the knife in his hand.

Zhang Wanjun asked an inexplicable sentence: "Are we old?" ”

Hong Qiye thought for a while: "I'm older, fortunately, the amount of alcohol is still there." ”

"Yes, I realized after drinking it today, the amount of alcohol is still there." Zhang Wanjun laughed, and the light in his eyes became very pure.

The room was silent, save for the sound of the throat rolling constantly. Although the bleeding stopped, the bandage was still stained through. Yu Yangshui sat alone on the chair in the middle and drank, gasping for breath during the interval. Lao Ke didn't get angry, maybe because he was treating Yu Yangshui, his face looked a little pale, which matched with his emaciated figure, which made Yang Shengjie feel that Lao Ke would be a little cold, he really didn't look like a pirate leader who was rampant in the sea. Yang Shengjie remembered that in the past, there was an old man with hemoptysis in his hometown, who was like Lao Ke, always holding a black handkerchief in his hand, and raised his head to look at the falling leaves on the tree house without coughing, as if he was counting the days. The young pirate was a little sad and a little frightened. From the beginning of entering the house, all the people did not speak, Zhang Wanjun and Hong Qiye leaned against the closed door and window, seemingly relaxed, but in fact they were all tense, and the only two exits of this room were guarded by them...... What are you going to do? Yang had never seen pirates execute defectors, but he had heard some cruel jokes. Looking at Yangshui's demeanor, he felt that his worries were becoming more and more realized.

Lao Ke's fingers slowly straightened and turned iron blue. He said: "Since you have touched the Changle Gang and fought with them, what have you found? ”

Yu Yangshui drank a can of spirits and jerked open his collar, revealing the scars on his chest. It was a fatal penetrating wound, with only a few blood stains on his bandaged chest, as if caused by a sharp bayonet. However, each wound is two wounds with very little spaced apart, and no matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to achieve two deep direct stabs at the same time: "We were wrong, Changle Gang...... There are masters, not as rumored, who do not seem to be Middle-earthers...... They were all samurai, with bifurcated strange weapons, which I had never seen before, like the tongue of a python. When Yu Yangshui spoke, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Samurai...... No wonder ......" Lao Ke paused for a moment: "Did you find the location of the thing?" ”

"Where it's not on the map, it's a trap. It should be said that the entire Changle Gang is a trap. No one was alarmed when I touched it, but as soon as I entered the center, it was as if they were pouring out of the ground, and there were people everywhere. If it weren't for understanding the structure of the yard and escaping from the walls and branches, maybe it would be over. However, they still found out. Those guys are weird......" Yu Yangshui thought thoughtfully.

Yang Shengjie couldn't believe his eyes, if those wounds deviated a little more, it would be the heart, but Yu Yangshui was still so calm, he might really not know what it meant to be afraid.

"Did they use foreign guns?" Lao Ke asked again.

"Nope." Yu Yangshui patted the revolver on his waist, "I used it, but no one hit, these people are like ghosts, and their movements are surprisingly fast." ”

"The gunfire didn't attract officers and soldiers?" Zhang Wanjun asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." Yu Yangshui shook his head, "But the sound of the gunfire seems to be very muffled and can't be transmitted." ”

"Strange ......," Lao Ke's voice was a little confused. The movements are swift and powerful. His hand was pressed against a green brick by the fire. The whole stove suddenly moved. Reveal a hole where no light can be seen.

"It seems that we have to reassess the strength of the enemy." Hong Qiye wrapped the blade of the knife with the placket of his clothes, and the black knife that was half-unsheathed did not make a sound.

Zhang Wanjun approached Yang Shengjie like a ghost: "Hurry up." ”

The young pirate didn't react, only to see Lao Ke flash into the hole, and then a spark of light shone in his hand, and Zhang Wanjun quickly moved into the cave with Yu Yangshui in his arms. Yang Shengjie looked at Hong Qiye in amazement, and the scout glanced at him, and his eyes drifted out of the house again. At this time, Yang Shengjie was shocked to realize that it was the voice of many people. It's as light as a feather blowing off. The Changle Gang deliberately released Yangshui and followed his trail to cover up.

The tunnel can only be illuminated by the faint light of the fire fold, and the running makes the flame sway, as if it will be extinguished at any time. There was darkness in front of him, Yang Shengjie thought to himself, the tunnel had obviously been dug a long time ago, and he didn't even know in advance that Lao Ke's mouth was really tight. In this way, it seems that this operation has been planned for a long time. From the direction of running, it should be a place facing the east and near the sea. Yang Shengjie couldn't help but get frustrated. Lao Ke and they ran at a fairly good pace, without the slightest panic. can arrange such a careful action, just give up like this, and Yang Shengjie, who is in it, is a little disappointed. He turned to be a little dissatisfied with Yangshui, and in retrospect, it was only after meeting Li Xiangtian that he made such a rash move, is there anything to do with it?

In order to prevent landslides, the tunnels were dug narrowly, making them a bit short for tall pirates. Everyone marched forward with their waists, and their physical strength was consumed very quickly due to their defensive mentality, and when they reached the gradually open place, they all had some breathe.

"It's almost there." Zhang Wanjun said suddenly.

Brother Wan Jun also knows this way to escape? The feeling of being alienated when crossing the sea returned. But in a blink of an eye, Yang Shengjie figured it out again: in front of these well-informed pirates, he always had to make some fame.

People who spend a lot of time in the dark have an unusual sensitivity to light. The light at the exit was slightly near-none, and everyone could still see it clearly. Yang Shengjie couldn't help but want to cheer, Hong Qiye, who was at the end of the team, suddenly accelerated past everyone, and before the word "careful" was finished, a sword light like a silver snake suddenly flashed in front of Lao Ke - there was an ambush at the entrance of the cave.

The light only flickered, and disappeared along with the initiator. There was no sound of the body falling, Lao Ke was still there. Death-like darkness, and silence, everyone has rich combat experience, including Yang Shengjie, who also changed his position. Like a beast crawling in the dark, whoever makes a little noise will lose his life. For a short time, it was like a rushing water that suddenly stopped, and the huge force was completely condensed at one point, and once it was launched, it would destroy something.

The sound of cat-like footsteps could be heard from the other side, and the tracker finally arrived. Obviously, when they discovered the location of Yang Shengjie and his team, they also discovered this tunnel. I don't know what method was used, but there is something unusual about these people. They laid a trap again in a very short time, and now it was time to tighten the mouth of the bag.

A very short breath, too heavy a wound to make Tie Han Yu Yangshui unbearable. At this moment, the sound of weapons colliding suddenly sounded in front of him, and Hong Qiye and the other party made another move between the lightning and flint. In the sparks from the impact of the weapon, Yang Shengjie saw that it was a man in white, and he didn't pay more attention to the other party, because he found that Zhang Wanjun was blocking in front of Yu Yangshui. Yu Yangshui, who could no longer move quickly, blocked in front of him meant that he was no longer flexible. Yang Shengjie was a little moved so easily, and then he blocked in front of Zhang Wanjun without even thinking about it, because the enemy's killing machine obviously pounced on them.

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Wanjun and Yu Yangshui roared almost at the same time. How can they make a sound? Immediately after that, Yang Shengjie understood that the other party was waiting for help, it was impossible for him to give up the hole, and in such a narrow place, it was difficult to deploy long weapons, and the only threat came from muskets. And the moment the fire appeared just now, Lao Ke was indeed already raising his gun. But the shadows took advantage of the strength of each other's fighting, and the water bypassed Hong Qiye and pounced on Lao Ke. At this time, Hong Qiye stomped his foot, and the black knife slashed out a huge brilliance.

"Bang!" At this time, the fire suddenly appeared. Lao Ke shot a shadow, Zhang Wanjun lit the fire at this time, and in the light, Yang Shengjie saw that Hong Qiye's knife cut off the left leg of the man in white, but the man didn't seem to care, and the weapon in his hand was like a forked sword with the tip of the blade. The poisonous snake stabbed Lao Ke in the chest like a letter.

Finished. Yang Shengjie's eye frames turned completely red. He blocked the only two people here who could save Ke. He watched as the sword was handed out. Despair rose in my heart.

Lao Ke moved, moving faster than the warrior, the sword stabbed only a shadow, at the same time, Lao Ke suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled the man's neck, and the whole body of the white-clothed assassin soared in the air, but it stood still. Three bullets were embedded in the chest of the man in white at this time, leaving no life. Take his life directly. It was Yu Yangshui, and with the help of the fire lit by Zhang Wanjun, he raised his gun and fought. His angle and timing were so good that the bullet passed past the two men, just enough to kill the assassin.

When the trackers arrived, all they saw were an open exit and a corpse lying in a pool of blood. The leader of the trackers wears the same white coat and also wields a double-pronged sword. He pointed to the trail of blood left by his prey, and the rest of the men pounced.

The leader crouched down, put his hand on the chest of the deceased, and pulled the bullets out of the wound one by one. The ground was thrown to the ground. He then said, "Carry the man back and find the helper." ”

The bloodstains stretched all the way to the sea. Far away there was a sailboat floating on the sea.

Yu Yangshui was lying in the cabin, already with more air out and less air in. He coughed and vomited blood, and the wounds on his arm and chest burst in the three desperate shots. Hong Qiye put down the knife, put Yu Yangshui's head on his lap, tore bag after bag of wound medicine, and sprinkled it all in his wounds.

Yang Shengjie hid far away, he stood alone on the side of the side, and when Zhang Wanjun patted him on the shoulder, tears hung on his face.

"Let's get into the cabin, Lao Ke has something to say."

"Brother Wan Jun...... Let me go, I don't have the face to stay anymore...... Or, kill me. ”

Zhang Wanjun didn't urge him anymore, but put his arm on the side and bent down: "In the past, when we were still in the team of His Royal Highness King Zhong, Lao Ke had a good knife technique. In Hangzhou, I had a battle with the Qianjun, and one of the generals on the other side shot Hong Qiye, very powerful marksmanship, and now there is no such spearmanship master among our people. Lao Ke used a knife to block, but he was knocked down, and he used his body to block again, and as a result, both of them were beaten and pierced...... But the general did not kill them. Zhang Wanjun turned his head to look at Yang Shengjie, "I said this, do you understand?" ”

Yang Shengjie nodded and shook his head again.

Zhang Wanjun smiled: "It's already great that you can block that for us." Everyone has a young age, that time Lao Ke broke his tendons, and after he came back, he couldn't use a knife anymore, but do you see that he is now using a gun very well? …… Hong Qiye followed him all the time, and it didn't change when Tianjing fell. ”

Tears welled up in Yang Shengjie's eyes again, and he began to understand the intersection of life and death of these people.

Zhang Wanjun patted the young man on the shoulder: "If you continue to talk about it, you will be numb." Don't cry your nose easily in the future, go inside. ”

There was no fire in the cabin, but no one felt that it was cold at sea. Only Lao Ke coughed: "This time, we failed." ”

Everyone was silent, and their hearts were cold again.

"This road goes back, if it's fast, it's home in ten days." He was silent for a moment, "Can you explain it?" ”

"A few days ago, Lei Zi sent news that the officers and soldiers had found out the general location of the floating island, and they would send troops to come if they didn't know it."

"Old Ke ......" Yu Yangshui's lips turned white from blood loss, and he couldn't continue his words.

Zhang Wanjun spoke: "We have five lives together, and there are thousands of people in our family. Old Ke, you can say it. ”

Hong Qiye and Yang Shengjie both nodded silently.

Lao Ke coughed again, he looked very tired: "Changle Gang thinks we have run away, but the guard will not be relaxed." The only chance is now. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Lao Ke looked at everyone, "Everyone is tired, go back and rest." With that, he turned and walked back to his room.

And at this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly sounded on the shore.

"What's going on?" Yang Shengjie's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's the official army." Zhang Wanjun snorted, "Hmph, it's really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind!" Unexpectedly, the officials and soldiers would make a move to Changle at this time. ”

"The officers and soldiers seem to be using us as bait." Lao Ke had a gloomy face, "One step later, we may become ghosts under the cannon." ”

"The ghost under the cannon?" Hong Qiye was startled, and immediately stared at the sea.

"Over there, it's the small gunboat of the officers and soldiers, and it's also a steam machine." Lao Ke pointed to a shadow on the sea that was approaching quickly, "There are serial cannons and divine machine cannons on it, and the firepower is extremely ruthless, I'm afraid that the Changle Gang will be wiped out this time!" ”

As soon as Lao Ke's words fell, he saw a fire rising on the shore, accompanied by a series of deafening loud noises, drowning out their voices.

"The Great Soldier Ship is also here, and it is even coming with cannons! Is this going to leave a living mouth......" Zhang Wanjun seemed to be blinded by the firelight, and couldn't help but tilt his head to the side.

"His grandmother's, such an earth-shattering ......" Before Hong Qiye's words fell, with the sky-high fire, the explosion sounded again.

Old Kemo watched all this silently, took out the small bamboo tube containing the topographic map of the Changle Gang Chief, opened it, slowly tore the paper roll into pieces, and threw it into the sea.

Yang Shengjie looked at Lao Ke's movements, and he understood that this topographic map was useless.

"Do you want to go back?" Zhang Wanjun asked Lao Ke.

"No need, it's useless, if the things are not destroyed, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers, and we won't be able to get it." Lao Ke sighed, "Hurry up, if you let the soldiers of the official army catch up after you for a while, everyone will really be dead." (To be continued......)
