Zhu Houwei and his entourage immediately rushed to the wharf, got out of the boat and immediately got into the carriage and rushed towards the wharf.

The wharf was less than ten miles from the shipyard, and in less than ten minutes, the carriage arrived at the wharf. After getting out of the carriage, Zhu Houwei saw his sister with red eyes and bandaged fingers. So he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhu Xiuning lowered her head and didn't speak, Qingmei spoke, "Miss went to catch a crab on the beach, but she was accidentally caught and bled out." ”

Zhu Houwei was a little speechless, and he was not in the mood to joke at this time. The most stable Xiaohuan asked, "Childe, the matter over there is urgent, you better go quickly." Zhu Houwei nodded, and took Hong Yu and the others to chase after Zhu Yuan and the others.

Zhu Houwei saw that someone was reporting the situation to Zhu Yuan, so he walked over quickly. Zhu Yuan turned to Zhu Houwei and said, "I found pirates on the surface of the East China Sea, and the flag was a "Wang" character, and there were people chasing and killing behind them, and the group behind should be Dongying people." If you are not mistaken, the former should be Wang Quan's group of pirates. “

Zhu Houwei seemed to think of something, "Wang Quan? It sounds familiar. Zhu Yuan nodded, "Last year, pirates attacked Dengzhou, and one of them was Wang Quan's men. Second Young Master, judging from the current situation, Wang Quan should not flee to Shandong, and may go directly to the south, it is impossible for this group of Dongying people to chase so far. ”

Zhu Houzhao asked, "How many boats are nearby now, can they catch up with Wang Quan?" Zhu Yuan replied, "The mighty general is docked at the pier, and there are a total of seven boats near Changshan Island in Dengzhou. If you want to chase it, you should be able to catch it. Zhu Houwei immediately said, "Then gather quickly and pursue immediately." "Yes."

The order was passed on, and Zhu Houwei was fine. When I came to find my sister and the group, I found that she was already smiling with a branch, teasing a large lobster in a wooden basin from a distance, and when she approached, she could be heard whispering, "It's great to have big tongs, look at your teeth and claws, and tell you that you are in the dinner today, and it has to be steamed." ”

Zhu Houwei walked to the side of the small ring of onlookers and asked, "Is this lobster who injured her?" Xiaohuan shook his head helplessly, "No, it's a crab." After injuring the young lady, he climbed into the sea. Zhu Houwei looked at his sister who was about to get revenge, and shook his head helplessly.

Twenty minutes later, a neat running sound could be heard on the bustling dock. Zhu Houwei followed the prestige and saw the neatly equipped soldiers of the land and water battalion. There were two squares, the front was the operator of the boat, and the back was the heavily armed naval combatant. It adds up to about three or four hundred people.

After a while, he boarded the ship under Zhu Yuan's order. After the soldiers boarded the ship, Zhu Yuan also began to beg the boat. Suddenly I didn't feel right, and when I looked back, I almost fell off the board and fell into the sea. I saw Zhu Houwei take Huang Gonggong and Hong Yu to board the board, ready to board the ship together.

Zhu Yuan was anxious, "Your Highness, what are you going to do here?" Zhu Houwei said as a matter of course, "Board the ship, what else can you do?" Zhu Yuan said with a bitter face, "It's too dangerous, you can't go." Zhu Houwei walked behind him, pushed him and said, "What nonsense, it's still dangerous, the boat is the best ship, running is the best cannon, if you still lose, everyone can jump into the sea together." Zhu Yuan couldn't refute it, and said with a red face, "This, this" Zhu Houwei didn't care about him, and pushed him behind the download, "Hurry up, if you don't move, I'm going to push you into the sea." Zhu Yuan was forced to get on the boat. Zhu Houwei followed behind and got on the boat, and then he let out a breath. Huang Gonggong and Hong Yu behind him were expressionless, the former knew that he couldn't be persuaded, in case this master had any three strengths and two weaknesses, he could commit suicide together with peace of mind, anyway, he didn't have any relatives, he belonged to a broken jar, and the latter one was big-hearted, and he didn't frown at the work of seeing blood with a knife.

Seeing that Zhu Yuan's bitter face had not eased up, Zhu Houwei walked up to him and whispered, "What are you waiting for, do you want me to command?" If it weren't for saving him some face, he would have scolded loudly a long time ago, he was already a kind person, Zhu Houwei thought.

Zhu Yuan's second and second made five, his eyes were closed, his legs were stretched, he gritted his teeth, let it go, and shouted, "Have you finished the inspection?" The first mate immediately replied, "The inspection is complete." Zhu Yuan yelled, "Open the boat~~" The voice was desolate with anger, anger with grievances, no matter what, the captain was in a bad mood This is something that everyone on the ship can hear, at this time, do your job with peace of mind, don't invite the captain to scold.

The ship set sail slowly, because the ship is relatively large, the sailing speed is quite slow, Zhu Houwei has no choice but to stand at the bow of the boat, look at the calm sea, enjoy the free air, well, a little salty.

There was a cry of anger from the pier, not because Zhu Houwei was going to a dangerous battlefield, but because he accused his brother of why he didn't take her for such a fun thing, but what he got was the second brother's smug smile and chic wave. Fortunately, the three of Qingmei Xiaohuan and Hongling next to them grabbed this young lady, otherwise there would be one more fluttering unknown object in the sea.

The boat is getting faster and faster, and the sailman, who was still a little hectic, is also in normal mode. Zhu Houwei, who was staying at the bow of the boat, felt very deeply, because he opened his mouth just now to make a shout, but unexpectedly, the sharp sea breeze poured a big mouthful and choked. Huang Gonggong, who was originally facing Zhu Houwei, immediately turned around, his shoulders kept moving slightly, this is not laughing, it should, probably. The corners of Hong Yu's mouth, who had a cold face, pulled slightly, but Zhu Houwei, who was coughing, didn't notice it.

After standing for more than ten minutes, Zhu Houwei got off the bow of the boat, and as the speed of the boat increased, the sea breeze blew a little painfully. Looking up, the lookout hand in the high place was holding a telescope to look at the surrounding sea, and there was a cloth on his face, which didn't look like a good person, Zhu Houwei thought.

One advantage of a larger boat is that the bumps are small, and of course they are not unfelt. Zhu Houwei walked to the captain's room and saw Zhu Yuan and several people talking about something in front of the precise chart. Due to the large number of people, Zhu Houwei did not make up for it. After they discussed, Zhu Houwei stepped forward to ask.

Zhu Yuan pointed to the sea diagram and said, "Second Young Master, it was here that the pirates were discovered, and according to the time when the news was delivered on the road, they should have walked here." When we have joined up the convoy in Dengzhou, and then we are chasing in a southeasterly direction, we should be able to catch up in about two days. ”

Zhu Houwei asked, "How many boats do they have?" Zhu Yuan immediately replied, "According to the news that came back, there are a total of 53 large and small ships, including two large and small ships, five No. 2 Fu ships, three large sand ships, and the others are small boats such as Haicang ships and Cangshan ships. In addition to the clipper ship (clipper) that came back to report the news, there is now another one that is following them from a distance, and has the advantage of a telescope, so it should not be detected. Zhu Houwei nodded, and then said, "Okay, you decide what to do." I don't know much about naval warfare either. Zhu Yuan nodded with a straight face.
