The reason why pirates are so rampant is that they are completely stained with the light of chaos in the world.

In order to cope with the needs of the long-term war, the various separatist regimes used the banner of Confucianism as a fig leaf, and in fact, they encouraged whatever money was given. Although the world is chaotic in troubled times, the business environment is more relaxed than in any peaceful years. The nations are fighting endlessly for cities and land, where is the spare time to go out and take care of the sea? Even if there is a naval army, it is only used as a tool to cross rivers and expand territory.

Zhang Bohu's opposition to the proposal to set fire to the ship and quickly leave the battlefield was indeed very reasonable, and Yang Zhi immediately ordered the bow of the ship to turn around and return at full speed.

Yang Zhizhi is indeed brilliant and has excellent martial arts, but he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to react and perform. He leaped with all his might on land, but at best he had reached the limit of his leap from three feet. The vast sea is not as good as the land, if someone drives a big ship and does not make contact with you at all, without saying a word, first shoot a rocket at all, or simply bombard the enemy with artillery, forcing you to abandon the ship and jump into the sea, you can calmly shoot and kill again. If this is the case, I am afraid that the death of the pirates will be even more ugly than today. Everyone has seen the arrogance and cruelty of the pirates, and after being forced to reveal their deeds, Yang Zhi openly left a word to demonstrate, who dares to guarantee that the pirates will not do that when they catch up?

However, even if the pirates rushed to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible, it would take a process, and it was not easy to determine the direction of Yang Zhi and the others' evacuation and identify the ship they were on in the vast night, so it was not very likely to be overtaken.

On the way back overnight, Yang Fatal Boatman's helmsman and Liuxi took turns to eat and rest in two shifts to conserve their strength to deal with emergencies. But where do people still have the heart to rest? Although he promised it, he refused to enter the cabin. Zhang Bohu probably witnessed a bloody killing scene like today for the first time in his life, and he also seemed a little distracted, and he didn't hear Yang Zhi's words.

After nightfall, the wind was cold and the night was cold, Zhu Linger had been nervous since she went to sea, and she was even more cold and tired at this time, but she was afraid that she would be looked down upon by Yang Zhi, so she gritted her teeth and worked hard with everyone. The rest of the five joys are heartbroken to watch. After persuading her several times, she just refused.

Yang Zhi didn't reprimand them directly, this was a manifestation of brain water, and lightly persuaded: "Everyone is a human being, not a tool." Even if you can't sleep, it's good to go into the cabin and lie down and close your eyes and take a nap. Miss Zhu. Especially you. If you spend the night outside the cabin like this, I don't think you need to take the pirate to do it, and you'll be half dead tomorrow morning. ”

It didn't matter if they listened or not, they went into the cabin and fell asleep. Suddenly, he stuck out his head again and asked, "What time is the beginning of November?" ”

Zhang Bohu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "On the sixth day of the first month of November." We've been out to sea for three days now. Brother Yang, what's wrong? ”

Yang Zhi didn't answer, and after a while, snoring sounded in the cabin. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and be stunned: You are like a nobody, when this ship is your own home? Is this guy still human or not?

At dawn the next day, Yang Zhi went out to inspect the cabin. Everyone was depressed, and they didn't know if they closed their eyes last night. As soon as he came out, Liuxi looked at Zhang Bohu with a strange expression.

Zhang Bohu frowned and said: "Brother Yang, among the people on the ship, only the shipwright helmsman is skilled in water with you, and the martial arts of the shipwright and helmsman must not be compared with you. If you are attacked by a pirate ship on the borderless sea, the consequences are unimaginable. Accidents are inevitable. Do we try to walk along the island and try not to go too far offshore? ”

If it is prudent, Zhang Bohu's words are not unreasonable. I don't want Yang Zhi to object without thinking: "No! Brother Zhang has always been thoughtful when encountering things, how can he say such things today? It's good to be careful, but don't run for your life yet. Although the big ship is powerful, the speed is far less than that of the small boat, and it is difficult to catch up with us. The range of the machine crossbow is only 100 feet, and the range of the artillery is only 2 miles, and the accuracy of the march will be greatly reduced. In case you are caught up by a big ship, there is no need to panic too much. If you are forced to abandon the ship and jump into the sea. You can dive to the bottom of the ship and wait for the pirates to get closer. ”

"If you go along the island, the return voyage will be much longer. In order to avoid coastal reefs, the speed of the ship will be greatly reduced. And so it goes. Not to mention the long delay at sea, the advantage of light and fast speed of small boats no longer exists. ”

Zhang Bohu's expression was dumbfounded, and everyone stopped talking. Zhu Ling'er was struggling for days, her face was pale, and her lips were dry. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say timidly: "Master Hou." …… It's me damn it, I'm useless. I...... I don't know how to water! ”

"What? What did you say? You don't know how to water? Yang Zhi said angrily: "I gave you ten days, you have martial arts, you are really a pig and should be learned!" At this point, you told me you don't know how to water? Auntie, what did you do earlier? ”

Zhu Ling'er was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, and she held back her tears and said: "Master Hou, I'm afraid that I will affect everyone, and I wanted to take leave from you before I went to sea, but you ...... that day." It's not that I don't want to learn, it's so cold, I ...... I'm no bigger than you...... man. ”

Yang Zhideng suddenly realized: After all, Zhu Linger is a big girl after all, and women always have a few days of physical inconvenience every month. And this is a cold day, if the clothes are thin and the curves are exposed, it will inevitably shock the world.

Her own requirements are indeed a bit harsh for her, not to mention that blaming her at this time will not help, but will chill everyone's hearts. sighed in a slow tone: "Women really shouldn't go out to fight and kill with men, it's my negligence." Rest assured, I will never leave you alone. ”

"Master Hou, it's enough to have your words." Chang San scolded Zhu Ling'er: "Little sister, what are you crying for?" Since ancient times, it has been to treat friends with sincerity and loyalty to the owner. Since we follow Hou Ye, this life is not our own. Isn't it a big deal? To die is to die spiritually! ”

Yang Zhi didn't delve into whether Chang San's words were true or false, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Chang, you are wrong. If I am determined to let you die, why should I take you? Your life is yours, not mine. Human life is only once, don't take it lightly. Remember: you can be defeated and surrendered as my men, but you can't just die. ”

Chang San asked suspiciously, "Can you lose?" Can it be dropped? Master Hou, ...... this? ”

Zhang Bohu sneered: "What's so difficult about this? Do you know what perseverance means? If you die, you can't do anything. When you are ruthless, you can be ruthless enough, and when you can endure it, you will have a chance to turn over. You should be glad to have followed a character like Brother Yang, there are so many things you can learn in the future. ”

Although Zhang Bohu is also dedicated to Yang Zhi, he has always been humble and polite to him, unlike Liuxi who is humble and awe in front of him. Yang Zhi's extraordinary observation and adaptability are largely due to the professional habits he developed in his previous life. Without wanting to explain too much, he entered the cabin with a faint smile.

When the kung fu came out in a blink of an eye, there were two more swollen water bladders in his hand and stuffed them into Zhu Ling'er's hand: "Even if you don't know water, as long as you have this treasure, you can talk about emergencies at a critical moment." Tied to the body one after the other, don't pay attention to what looks good or not at this time. ”

Chang San took the two water bladders and checked them, but there was no weight at all, and he immediately praised: "This is indeed a treasure, wonderful!" Hou Ye really has a heart! Seventh sister, why don't you thank Master Hou soon? ”

"There are still a few empty water bladders in the cabin, so you might as well do the same." Yang Zhi didn't think that the makeshift life jacket was such a great rarity, and smiled disapprovingly: "Miss Zhu, you don't have to thank me. In case of emergency, I will not leave you alone, but I also don't have the ability to jump into the sea with you on my back. ”

Zhu Ling'er was so ashamed that she almost lowered her head to the ground: "Master Hou...... You're talking nonsense again,...... When did I say I wanted you to carry it? ”

The shipwright helmsman drove the boat forward at full speed according to Yang Zhi's instructions, and two days later, the group arrived at Beichangshan Island, and the journey was safe and sound as Yang Zhi said. North Changshan Island is a large offshore island, less than a day's voyage from Penglai, fishing boats and merchant ships are increasing, occasionally passing by on the sea, still supported by Zhang Bohu.

Yang Zhi had no intention of going to sea this time, but the encounter with pirates was also expected, and it was also beneficial for everyone to experience the danger at sea.

When they arrived at North Changshan Island, it was already early, except for Yang Zhi, who was still not tired and energetic, everyone was already exhausted. In order to avoid a sea encounter like the one off the coast of Xiaoqin Island, Yang Zhi ordered to land on the island for one night and take a temporary rest.

Early the next morning, when Yang Zhi led a group of people to set sail back to Penglai, they saw a large ship docked next to their ship. A middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing waited on the shore with four well-dressed strong men, and greeted him and asked, "Disturb everyone, dare to ask which one is the world-famous Great Xia Flying Tiger Marquis?" ”

I didn't see this big ship when I stopped the ship yesterday, and it seems that I came here overnight to wait for Yang Zhi. The words of the person who come are respectful, not like malice, I don't know where it is sacred?

Yang Zhi and Zhang Bohu glanced at each other, nodded and replied, "I am Yang Zhi." I don't know what to say? ”

The middle-aged man bowed and said: "Villain Jiang Chengbi, my master heard that Hou Ye came to Penglai to go on a cruise, and specially ordered the villain to come and invite Hou Ye and his wife to enjoy the reunion." ”

Yang Zhi was confused: "Jiang Chengbi? Forgive me for my clumsiness, I really can't remember where I met the Venerable Driver and your master. …… Please me and my wife? My wife is staying in Chang'an!"

The middle-aged man named Jiang Chengbi looked at Zhu Ling'er and asked cautiously, "Didn't you say that Lord Hou has a female dependent?" Could it be that the rumors are wrong? This girl has an extraordinary demeanor, isn't it ......? ”

Zhu Ling'er said with a flushed face: "You are talking nonsense! …… How can I be so blessed? ”

"Oh, I misunderstood, this girl is one of my escorts." Yang Zhi had already heard that the "heard" in the middle-aged population was from the sea, and they were the third group of pirates! It's coming so fast!

He smiled quietly and asked, "Your master's name is Mu Wang?" ”
