Chapter 242: The Crane Leader

Female pirates?

Long Tao looked to the right with interest, and the two speedboats were one after the other, parallel to the passenger ship on the sea more than fifty meters away.

The sound came from a speedboat in front of it, on which were two people paddling, one holding a torch, and three slender women standing in the middle of the boat.

The woman in the middle was slightly taller, with long hair tied back at the back of her head, oblique bangs fluttering slightly in the sea breeze, and a finger-wide blue scarf tied on her smooth forehead, fluttering with the long hair at the back of her head.

Under the light of the fire, her facial features are more standard, her skin is fair, her two slender eyebrows are charming with a little heroism, a pair of clear beautiful eyes are a straight and small nose, the mouth is of moderate size, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

At first glance, it is obvious that she is a gentle and strong beautiful woman, how can she look like a female pirate?

Of course, only Long Tao's eyesight could see so clearly, and Liuji and Sun Bingwei could only tell that they were three women.

"Mr. Ashikaga, it's really a pirate of the Murakami Water Army!" The panicked owner ran out of the cabin and came to Long Tao's side, "Sir, do you want to turn around and go back?" ”

"It's rare to meet such a beautiful and moving pirate, it's a pity to leave without knowing him." Long Tao smiled, and suddenly raised his voice: "Down there is a merchant in Nawu, I don't know this woman...... Uh, can the female leader be accommodating and let me pass? ”

The clear voice was heard far away over the sea.

Before the woman could answer, a rough laugh came from the speedboat on the left, "Haha...... Great, it turns out that there are merchants hiding on board! Hurry up and stop the boat, haha......"

As soon as the laughter stopped, there was a loud "bang" and six iron cannons on the left side of the speedboat fired warning shots.

"Mr. Ashikaga, it's over! They know you're a merchant and they're coming to rob you! The owner of the ship exclaimed.

Long Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, just stop the boat." ”

The owner of the ship sighed helplessly and went to the side to direct the sailors to drop anchor and stop the ship.

The two speedboats on the left quickly approached, and the long wooden planks with hooks on the front end of the passenger boat were attached to the side of the passenger boat, forming two bridges, along which four people from each boat climbed onto the passenger boat.

These people were all wearing short-sleeved short-sleeved clothes and leggings that were conducive to battle, and the first one had a rough face, a scruffy beard, and an iron cannon on his shoulder, and his small eyes swept everyone with a greedy fierce light, and finally settled on Long Tao.

Long Tao glanced at him, and his name tag appeared in his mind.

Ji Tai, twenty-six years old, water husband.

Affiliation: Murakami Water Army.

Boss: Takeshi Murakami.

Command, 50.

Force, 57.

Government Affairs, 33.

Gambit, 40.

Glamour, 35.

Long Tao knew that the other party must also be looking at the name of Ashikaga Yoshi's name.

Sure enough, after looking at each other for a while, Ji Tai smiled contemptuously: "Look at your kid who looks tall and big, it turns out to be a waste!" With a wave of his hand, he beckoned to the two pirates behind him, "Go and see what cargo they have brought." ”

The two pirates made their way to the cabin.

"Presumptuous!" Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei dodged and stopped at the door.

Ji Tai whistled, and the five companions behind raised their iron cannons and aimed them at the two.

"Are you two bodyguards? It's better for me to obediently get out of the way! ”

Long Tao was about to capture the thief and capture the king to restrain this auspicious Tai, when a woman's coquettish voice came from the right.

"Stop!"

The two speedboats on the right also leaned over, and the beautiful woman in the middle jumped up from the dinghy without waiting for the bridge to be built, and overturned the passenger ship with a heel bucket in the air, and landed firmly on the deck.

With this moment alone, Long Tao knew that her skills were definitely above that Ji Tai.

The woman walked forward, dressed in a light purple close-fitting suit, outlining a slender and toned figure, and her light steps were full of youthful vitality.

Long Tao looked at her beautiful eyes, the woman happened to look at him, and the moment their eyes met, the woman's name brand appeared in Long Tao's mind.

Crane, nineteen years old, water man's head.

Affiliation: Murakami Water Army.

Boss: Takeshi Murakami.

Command, 6.

Force, 6.

Government Affairs, 45.

Gambit, 55.

Glamour, 72.

It's not scientific, it's so unscientific!

Long Tao couldn't help but shake his head secretly, how could such a beautiful beauty, how could her charm be only 72, lower than the charm of Ashikaga Yoshi, is the origin blind? How is the charm value of this world set?

Long Tao looked at her skills again, Iron Cannon 3, Water Army 4, Martial Arts 3...... These three items alone are enough to make her an excellent pirate, and it's no wonder that she became a sailor at such a young age.

The positions of the pirates are the sailor, the sailor head, and the bow of the ship can lead a pirate after accumulating enough merit.

"Crane Leader, why did you tell us to stop?" Ji Tai asked.

Crane glanced at him, raised his hand and pointed at Long Tao, "This is obviously Naya's apprentice, Ji Tai, you can't see it, right?" ”

"See, so what?"

"Nawu has always had a friendship with our Murakami Navy, how can you still rob the merchants of Nawu?"

Ji Taiqiang argued: "Isn't it natural for pirates to rob merchants? And Crane Chief, isn't our mission this time to intercept the merchants? ”

"Ji Tai, don't forget, our mission is only for Tiger House."

At this time, the bridge on the right side was erected, and two more men and two women climbed onto the boat.

The two girls came to the crane and looked at Long Tao with big eyes.

The two of them were obviously much more lively, and one of them asked, "Sister Crane, is that person really a merchant from Nawu?" ”

Long Tao didn't see the name tag from the two of them, and the two girls should belong to ordinary pirate soldiers who didn't have a name tag, so they couldn't see Long Tao's name tag.

"Yes, that's Mr. Ashikaga Yoshiji, Naya's apprentice." Tsuru nodded.

"Is it a businessman?" The other girl sighed, "What a pity, people are so handsome!" After speaking, he grinned at Long Tao.

In this era of samurai, especially in the era of cold weapons, the vast majority of merchants are people with insufficient force, ordinary merchants, low status, although they have money, but they have no power to protect themselves, and people with a little force will look down on them.

It was not until Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was known for his strategy and tactics, came to power and began to use people from merchant backgrounds that this situation improved.

"Komatsu, don't be presumptuous." Tsuru reprimanded lightly, turned to Ji Tai and said: "Ji Tai, go back to the boat, since we are the merchants of Naya, our Murakami Navy has received a generous gift from the big boss of Imai Munehisa, so we can't lose our trust, let this Ashikaga Mr. pass!" ”

Ji Tai rolled his eyes, approached the crane, and said in a low voice: "Crane leader, you also saw that kid's name tag, it is obvious that he has a treasure on him!" This fool's force is so low, and he dares to come out with a treasure to show off, why don't we kill him on the spot, take the treasure, and sink his body into the sea, who can know? ”

Although his voice was low, he could still hear it clearly with Long Tao's ears.

"Ji Tai!" Tsuru suddenly snorted, "Do you want to trap Murakami-sama in injustice?" If it were usual, you would take your subordinates and do these things secretly, but now that we have shown the name of Murakami's water army, how can we still do such despicable things? Don't pirates have their own faith? Have you forgotten how Murakami-sama taught you on weekdays?! ”

Her voice was clear, as if the spring water had penetrated into people's hearts, and a series of questions made Ji Tai bow her head in shame, and finally knelt on the deck, and said loudly: "The leader teaches that the little one knows that he is wrong!" ”

At this time, the four speedboats in front and behind also surrounded the passenger boat, and a shout suddenly came from a boat in the rear.

"Ashikaga-sama, help!"

Long Tao, Liuji, and Sun Bingwei were all shocked.

Injiro?
