Lu Yuan stumbled and almost fell on the deck......

Indeed, although the two dozen or so big ships on the opposite side were revolving around the ship Li Huamei was on as a whole, there were actually quite large gaps! After all, every boat here is a galleon of the third grade and above, forty or fifty meters long. If you have never sailed a sailboat, you can't imagine how difficult it would be to drive around a center! That means the wind is changing all the time, and the currents below the surface are constant, so how do you steer the sails? How is the rudder controlled? It's all great learning. And a group of ships making a small circle around a center, the whole world may be able to do it by the British!

But even so, in order to prevent unexpected situations that cause the ship to run out of control and collide, there must be enough gaps between each boat! Although it was a gap, it was enough for the "Maria", the smallest of the ships present, to pass smoothly.

To save Li Huamei, Lu Yuan's ship is the only possible and necessary choice. Li Huamei's words made those who heard and saw all turn their binoculars in a different direction and looked at Lu Yuan's boat. The Far East Fleet immediately divided two big ships and cut to the front of her course, while the Ming Fleet was thunderous! Even Al, who was looking outward, clenched his fists excitedly!

These old navigators immediately judged that it was not difficult for Lu Yuan's ship to rescue Admiral Li Huamei! Because she's so small! It's not easy to be hit, it's not easy to be blocked! "Eighty percent sure!" Lin Nanxuan assured Yi An with certainty, "As long as he has half of your driving level, he is eighty percent sure that he will rescue the Admiral!" ”

Standing at the bow of the boat, Yi An was wearing Li Huamei's red clothes. Still nervously holding the clairplane and looking at the "Maria", pretending not to hear Lin Nanxuan's obvious flattering words. But the gradually reddening of her cheeks betrayed her. Since Lu Yuan was able to drive a small boat into the encirclement and was unharmed, his piloting skills were not as good as Yi An's. I'm afraid it's not half as bad......

However, Lu Yuan's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

Listening to Li Huamei's slightly undisciplined shouting, Lu Yuan's answer was to raise his middle finger high and gesture, and then quickly full of the right rudder, driving the "Maria" to turn around a small circle agilely, and drove out of the gap between the big ships in the direction away from Li Huamei......

He ran away!

It's not just Li Huamei who opened her mouth wide in surprise! The countless people of the Ming fleet have grown their mouths, and their eyes are about to fall out of their sockets! How can it be...... Seeing such a shameless thing, it was actually happening right in front of your eyes?! These people can't believe their eyes!

Know the way. This is not an era when an old lady falls to the ground and needs to leave good evidence first if she wants to support her - the fallen person wants to extort money, and the supporter ponders the era of posting Weibo to brush up on prestige! This is an era where a promise can be a daughter, and a wife and son can be entrusted! This is an era of righteousness, although tens of millions of people have gone to it! This is an era when as long as you are a decent person, you will see your face above everything, and your reputation will ruin life is worse than death! This is an era of chivalry and righteousness, which still exists in the hearts of the people.

Unfortunately, it shouldn't be wrong. Li Huamei met a "future person", and his bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

"Is it because I'm joking too much?" Li Huamei muttered to herself in disbelief - to be honest, she deliberately asked for help in a joking tone, also for the sake of her own face as a big admiral! Run away. You have to run away in style......

"You black-hearted businessman who can't be saved when you die, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" Li Huamei shook the truss in her hand with all her might, and forced the person in front of her to retreat. Hateful, but only whispered a word of complaint! Her handsome countenance then became resolute, and her eyes no longer looked at the turning boat. The truss rod stands in the wind, and the pride does not let the eyebrows be shaved in an instant! Let her open her mouth again to plead? She can't do it! Because she is Li Huamei! The dignified Admiral Li Huamei!

Although far away. But Lu Yuan seemed to hear Li Huamei's whisper, and his answer was to wave his hand behind him without looking back, and then drove the ship away intently.

"Ah Yuan......" Misha said as she stood behind him and stopped, her tone full of pleading. Looking at the woman in red, standing alone among thousands of enemies, she felt some empathy.

Lu Yuan didn't look back at her, he knew that it must be big pleading eyes, Misha begged him like this every time. "Look at those crew members," Lu Yuan said in a low voice. Misha looked up and glanced at the sailors on deck. Unlike officers like Misha, Auguste, and Jacques, and even unlike fourteen-year-old King, Misha could not see pride and determination on the faces of those sailors. There is only exhaustion, deep exhaustion—that is the kind of constant experience of joy and sorrow, the mood constantly staggered between peaks and valleys, and the appearance of torture.

Misha somewhat understands that these sailors are not the same as the officers. They have no sense of belonging, and they lack trust in Lu Yuan and the officer corps, so after constantly falling into crises and passing at low altitudes, they have been tortured and are not far from collapse! Now that Lu Yuan turned around and fled, the Far Eastern Fleet no longer had ships to intercept it, but cooperated with the stop to "send it out", these sailors were all happy, and Misha saw more than one person praying.

"If we want to save people, conservative estimates, we will also pay the price of half of the ship's destruction and most of the casualties of the crew! But we can't afford this price...... Because long before that, these people were finished! They won't last until then......" Lu Yuan explained to Misha, "Besides, you think it's all over when you rush out?" The East India Company, thanks to a few slave ships, was able to mobilize the entire Caribbean fleet to chase us for days! That woman is an extremely important person at first glance, if we rescue her, will there be a peaceful life? ”

Li Huamei, standing on the mast, looked lonely at the outflanked Ming fleet - because the two huge fleets were about to collide, the Daming fleet, which was at a disadvantage, put on a goose formation, completely defensive.

The fighters on the mast had retreated, and now standing at the mainmast was a barbarian who didn't understand the words, chattering in Chinese to persuade him to surrender.

At this time, on the deck, there were at least five hundred musketeers, all aiming their flintlock pistols at Li Huamei on the mast. Even the governor of the Far Eastern Fleet, at this time, stood there in full costume. Seeing Li Huamei looking over, he bowed elegantly, as if inviting a dance partner at a ball. His gentlemanly demeanor was met with a chorus of praise.

No one wanted to persecute the charming Queen of the East, dressed in fiery red and passionate, and they were all under the mast, quietly waiting for the lady to give up her resistance.

Patience is a man's virtue.

Li Huamei didn't think about surrendering at all! She has her own pride!

At this moment, she is thinking of her favorite poet, Li Qingzhao's four-line poem - "Life is a masterpiece, death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong! Li Huamei glanced at the formation of the two sides after the most reluctance, and said softly with some relief and sadness, "I won't lose ......."

Then he jumped off the mast and fell towards the blue sea. (To be continued......)
