"Let's run, Captain."

As the dhow swayed out of the crevices in the rocks, Davoss heard the whispers of his companion.

At this time, the cold wind is slow, the sky is full of black clouds, the round moon disappears and disappears with the clouds, and looking ahead, the sea is like an endless dark void, with the light of the silver moon shining and flashing countless star-like shimmering ripples.

"Run now, it's the same as when we came, it's so dark here, that stupid Redwin won't find out."

"yes." Another whispered: "It's better than staying in this castle where birds don't, listen to what they're saying, coward?" I don't want to think that if we were really cowards, they would have eaten corpses a long time ago. ”

"That Stannis has always been cold-faced, and he doesn't look down on us, I heard that he is very stubborn and very rejects smugglers, we should have thought of it."

"We should think of which, apart from the sister islands, doesn't exclude smugglers?"

……

They paddled and talked, and the more they talked, the more indignant they became, so much so that the brown-haired middle-aged man, who had planned to ignore it, finally couldn't help but reprimand: "Did they say something wrong? Are we decent people? Aren't we smugglers? ”

"But we helped them! We brought food! The freckled sailor's language was dissatisfied: "Even if there are few, they can't-"

"Think about what we were trying to do in the first place."

Davos interrupted him and said unpleasantly, "We are not for the Storm's End, nor for the Lord Baratheon. We are for our families, for our children, and for their future. Escape? You want to run away from this grievance? Do you really want to be a smuggler for the rest of your life!? ”

These words made the two sailors stop talking, and one of them whispered with a square face: "Captain, even if we can succeed, what can Stannis give us?" How many golden dragons? ”

"And I don't think we'll be able to bring back food." Another pointy-faced sailor said: "The bucket is not the same as the sea, this sea is so deep, what can it do if you sprinkle that little powder?" ”

"That's another question, you have to try it to find out."

Davos said, his mind subconsciously flashing the child who made him feel very weird, and he unconsciously gritted his teeth.

"The fourth child of our family has just been born, and the eldest and second child are about to reach their age, what kind of people they can become in the future may depend on our adventure this time."

The wind and tide obscured his words very weakly, but the thought of the two sailors continuing to complain suddenly dissipated, and the boat fell silent. The hull of the ship swayed in the churning dark sea, and the oars occasionally touched the reef with a dull sound.

The darkness of the night concealed all dangers, but it was not impossible to see the slightest sign of it, and as far as the eye could see, there was a faint flickering of fire, like a bundle of orange-red lanterns hanging in the sky in the distance—not far from them, a huge fleet belonging to the nobles of the Riverbend was blocking the sea.

The fleet wasn't far from Storm's End, but it wasn't that close either. At present, this sea area is called Broken Ship Bay, and there are countless reefs, and the further you go in the direction of the castle, the more reefs there are, and those fleets don't dare to get too close at all.

This also gave the smugglers' boats an active opportunity.

The dhow, with its sails folded, kept moving on the surface of the sea, until Davos raised his hand and finally stopped moving. The dark hull of the ship is dark in color, and in the dim moonlight, it looks inconspicuous at all.

"Captain, where did you get all this powder?" Seeing the brown-haired middle-aged man carefully take out the iron box from his arms, the square-faced sailor couldn't help but ask.

"From the Jade Sea, from Crab Bay, from the slave traders, even from the savages, from damn whatever." The head of the smuggler reprimanded in a low voice.

"Even if we go through the route once, we can't be so careless. Can you please shut up! ”

So the sailor closed his mouth in a daze, lowered his oars, and scooped up the fishing nets from the board.

The ship then swayed and moored on the surface of the water, and Davos was seen scattering a handful of powder into the sea, and with his black leather gloved hand reaching into the deep water to stir and wash it, the freckled sharp-faced sailor holding the fishing net tightly and praying silently.

"The gods bless us, and hope this thing works."

Unfortunately, his prayers did not seem to be religious, and in the dim light, after more than ten minutes, there was no anomaly under the water.

Standing on the boat in a daze, the cold sea breeze made them shiver, and after half a sound, the square-faced sailor sighed, "I'll just say, this thing doesn't work." ”

"Obviously that fish—"

"What does that fish mean? It is said that the bucket and the sea are ......"

The sailors murmured, and the brown-haired middle-aged man lay on the bow of the ship, his brown eyes fixed on the deep ocean below, and his heart was mixed with growing disappointment and rare luck.

Until the dark depths beneath the sea level, a flash of white. The tense muscles of his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he raised his hand and hammered the hull excitedly, and whispered: "Look! The fish appeared! ”

The sailors were busy looking at each other when they heard this, and then they were all happy and excited.

However, after a while, their excited appearance gradually evolved into sluggishness, and then their mouths opened wide and their faces were full of horror.

"It's a school of fish!" Short screams pierced the night, and the sound was full of panic.

A black cloud happened to float past the moon at this time, and the cold light that had been accumulated for a long time swayed down, and I saw that in the deep depths of the ocean, countless silver dots swarmed in, densely gathered together, like a silver tornado stretching out from the depths of the ocean.

The boat was in a violent turmoil as the water churned in the vicinity, and the cool breeze could not stop the cold sweat from the smugglers' foreheads, and after a moment of frustration, Davos hurriedly turned to pick up the oars and shouted orders at the same time.

"Retreat, hurry!"

……

In the wee hours of the morning, there was a faint rumbling sound in the sea outside the castle, not very loud, but impossible to ignore. The soldiers defending the city were shocked.

When Lan Li woke up in the morning to brush his teeth, he still wondered what happened and whether it would affect the smugglers' "fishing" operations.

It's just that the consequence of absent-mindedness is that the small branch in his hand is not paying attention to some force, and it staggers on the gum of teeth, and even the pain grows, and the blood slowly overflows between the teeth.

"It's a good sign to see blood when you wake up."

He grunted.

While he was wondering whether to instruct the servants to find out what was going on, or whether to wait for the servants to come and say, there were bursts of cheers and yells from outside the tower.

"Long live Storm's End!"

"Long live Davos the Fisherman!"

"Long live Baratheon!"

"Long live Davos the Shipbreaker!!"

……

The voices were noisy and untidy, but they were loud enough to hear what they were shouting, and Lan Li could hear that among them were the kitchen maid Tansy, the shoemaker Muri, the blacksmith apprentice Aman, and even the cheers of the two friends.

"Success?" Knowing this, he ran to the window and leaned out to take a look, only to see a circle of people excitedly gathered at the entrance to the ground floor of the tower.

So he turned and ran out the door, just in time to meet the servant Jommy who was hurrying upstairs.

"What's going on out there?" The probe grabbed the other party's cuff, and he hurriedly asked.

"The smuggler brought back a boatload of fish! It's a live fish, little master, it's all delicious herring! The servant grinned stupidly, "I love herring, he must have been sent by the gods to help us, yes, it must be so!" ”

"What about other than fish?" Despite the joy in his heart, Lan Li was not carried away by the "victory", and just now he clearly heard a voice that exceeded his expectations.

"There are two boats outside that have hit the rocks, and the boats in the river bay, they saw the smugglers last night and wanted to chase them, but they ran aground in the broken ship bay!"

"It was a real surprise."

Lan Li couldn't help but snort when he heard this, but then he thought of something, his smile converged, and his brows furrowed.
