Sure enough, the next day, when the fleet was heading north downwind, a large fleet appeared at sea level. Dozens of ships, large and small, suddenly appeared and surrounded Nan Xiao's fleet.

At the bow of the other ship stood a middle-aged man dressed in a silver costume, with two swords stuck in his waist, like a samurai. He made a gesture, and immediately someone shouted to this side: "Nan Xiao! You're surrounded, surrender! ”

The other party's boat was about three times the size of the Li family's sailors, and although the boat was a little smaller, it had a large number of people. In the case of a broadside battle, there should be no chance of victory.

However, there was no trace of panic on Nan Xiao's face. He specially called the old man who was in charge of watching from the mast down and asked him, "Old man, how did you inform Haikou of our location?" I told people to keep an eye on you all night, and you even slept on the mast, and you didn't have any contact with anyone at all. ”

Old man De shook his hand again and again: "It's not me, don't talk nonsense, I don't have it!" ”

Nan Xiao didn't pay attention to the old man's argument at all, and continued: "In the vast sea, why is it so coincidental that our fleet just happened to encounter a broken ship with broken sails? If I want to talk about coincidences, I don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world. After that, I ordered a revision of the course. Except for me and Admiral Huamei, this order is only known to those in charge of stargazing. So, who got the news out, isn't it clear? ”

"Alas......" Old man De sighed and said with a tangled face: "It has been discovered, and the old man is no longer hiding." The three generations of the old Han family have been passed down singlely, just one grandson, poor, unable to marry a daughter-in-law, seeing that the incense is about to be cut off, the old man is in a hurry. Some time ago in Hangzhou Port, someone told the grandson of the old man about a family matter, the woman was sold from the north, and the dowry was only 500 taels of silver. The old man's son has died for the Li family, and for such a grandson, he must have a daughter-in-law. Admiral, even if the old man begs you, surrender. They promised that if you surrendered, no one on board would be killed. ”

"Hehe, for a mere five hundred taels of silver, you actually sold your entire fleet...... What did the hundreds of Li Jiashui Shi do wrong, and their lives alone are not worth a tael of silver? You have served for decades, and you have become the pilot sailor of the flagship of the naval division, and you actually did such a thing. If I hadn't heard you say it yourself, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

Nan Xiao pulled out the wedge pill.

Seeing the demonic long knife, the old man was so frightened that his legs were paralyzed.

Nan Xiao walked up to him and pressed the blade of the sword against his neck: "You, do you still have a last word?" I can guarantee that it will go to your grandson along with your wages for this trip. ”

Old man De's knees softened suddenly, and he knelt in front of Nan Xiao with a plop: "I, I...... I can't help it! ”

His eyes were full of tears, and he said tremblingly: "My grandson is not promising, his parents died early, and I am at sea all day long, without control, and I have learned badly from the gambling stalls." It's all those green-skinned hooligans, leading him not to learn well! But what can I do, my family has three generations of single transmission, just such a single seedling. I went to sea to earn some money, and he used it to gamble. I thought that only by marrying him a daughter-in-law could I control him. No matter how bad it is, when he has it, I will be blinded. ”

Nan Xiao's face was expressionless: "This is the reason why you betrayed everyone?" ”

Probably realizing that he was going to die, the old man lost control of his emotions for a while, and roared frantically: "You people, what qualifications do you have to accuse me? I have nothing, I am poor and decrepit, I am dead! Anything that can be solved with money, I can't solve it! The rats came to my house looking for food, and they all went hungry. I really need money...... I was born with this kind of ghostly life, I can only try my best to make my grandchildren live a little better, what's wrong with that? ”

Nan Xiao was unmoved, and slowly raised the wedge pill: "Being poor is not a reason why you can betray everyone. Since you don't respect other people's lives, you have to have the consciousness to die because of it. ”

The old man still wanted to argue a few words for himself, but Yang Xien appeared behind him, grabbed his neck and pinched it, clicked, and immediately settled the account.

Yang Xi'en looked furious: "Ade is the sailor I brought out. At that time, he was a refugee who fled from the north, and his parents starved to death. I took him on board and taught him little by little from the beginning, and that's how he repaid me? I will hang his body on the mast, and hang two large characters on his body, one writing that death is more than innocent, and the other writing that death is not a pity! ”

"Forget it, let's bury it in water, it should stink if you hang it on the mast for a few days. The parts fell off with a click, and it was disgusting. ”

"Then tie it to the bow of the ship, and if it falls, it will be in the water, and it will be used to feed the fish."

"Hey, that's a good idea."

Nan Xiao and Yang Xien stood at the bow of the boat chatting, completely treating the dozens of boats on the opposite side as if they didn't exist, which naturally angered those Haikou on the other side.

The shouting became louder, and dozens of ships of pirates shouted together: "Surrender quickly!" Surrender! ”

"If you don't surrender again, the whole ship will die!"

"Brothers on the other side, surrender. There's good wine and meat here! ”

Faced with the provocation, Nan Xiao pulled out his knife. "The captain on the other side," he shouted, "have the guts, let's go head-to-head!" Or are you a coward who only dares to hide behind your men and win by having more people? ”

Singled out!

There is an unwritten rule that the captain of the ship cannot refuse a one-on-one invitation from the captain of the other ship. Otherwise, it will be seen as a sign of timidity, and the morale of the sailors will plummet. After all, no one wants to follow a cowardly captain, and everyone wants their boss to be especially able to fight and be invincible.

Nan Xiao looked at all the momentum, and instantly suppressed the shouts of dozens of boats on the opposite side.

After hesitating for a while, the samurai on the opposite ship reacted. At this time, of course, he can't refuse, otherwise his momentum will be weak, and there will be no way to fight later.

The sailors also wanted to see a duel between the captains, which was very manly. Without any orders, the two flagships approached each other, and the springboard was erected. With only a one-meter-wide plank, there is no room for anyone to retreat.

The middle-aged samurai on the opposing ship stepped onto the gangplank and drew his long knife. He put on a posture and walked towards Nanxiao step by step.

"You're just coming to the island?"

The middle-aged samurai shook his head: "I am the Yumejuro of the eight generals of the Ghost Gate, and I am confident in swordsmanship. ”

"Looks like you're running out of self-confidence." Nan Xiao shook his head, and suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards the middle-aged warrior.

It's not defensive at all, it's not like a fight, it's more like a life for a life.

The battle on the springboard is extremely dangerous, and both sides have to watch out for the sword stabbed by their opponents, but the springboard under their feet is undulating. It's just over a meter wide, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the water. This kind of non-stop duel, once you fall into the water, the opponent can replenish the gun.

In this battle, Nan Xiao is sure that he will win.
