Another batch of ships?

My breath suffocated slightly, and I looked at him with burning eyes: "What kind of ship?" Whose ship? ”

"Well, it's not clear," Boss Wang frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "But what is certain is that it must not be a merchant ship." ”

"Why?"

"It's not commercial, it looks more like yours."

“……”

This answer was not surprising to me. Now that the sea ban has been implemented, there will not be too many sea ships that can sail in the coastal waters, and there should be no other merchant ships roaming around with Yang Wanyun's family's merchant ships.

I asked, "So, where can you tell from the ship, what kind of force is the ship?" Royal? Or—"

Boss Wang thought for a while and shook his head gently: "I really can't see it, we are not close, and we can't see clearly at all." And their ship is not the same as the pirate's ship, and it doesn't draw some strange pictures on the sail flag to scare people, so-"

At this point, he suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and immediately said, "By the way, I remembered." When they were fighting the pirates, although they were far away, they could still hear their voices speaking loudly—they spoke in an accent like that of Shudi. ”

“……”

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief first.

Shu Di accent.

There are several batches of ships going to sea this time, Yan Qinghan, Pei Yuanfeng and Xiao Yusheng, the boatmen on their ships are all from Shudi, and they naturally have a Shu accent, but Liu Qinghan's ship is from Yangzhou, and the boatmen used are naturally southerners, of course, there will be no Shudi accent.

Therefore, the ship that was attacked was not the ship where Li'er was.

Thankfully, Li'er is fine!

Although I breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in my heart did not let go.

The ships of Shudi, so whose fleet was attacked by pirates? Don't be Pei Yuanfeng's boat!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Then, how is the battle going when they fight?" ”

Boss Wang originally took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and when he heard me ask, he seemed to recall some things before, and felt that his whole body trembled slightly, and his face turned a little pale.

He swallowed his saliva, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "We met them near Zhoushan, it was night at that time, and the sea was originally pitch black, but we suddenly saw that the sky in front of us was brightened by flashes, and there was a deafening thunder, so we moved the boat closer, and we saw-"

When he said this, there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

"That sea seems to be burning."

As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly tightened, and I looked at him with some horror, but I saw that Boss Wang didn't look at me at all at all, his eyes stared straight at the teacup in his hand, looking at the slightly turbulent water inside, as if he was back to that night, and said in a trembling voice: "The fleets on both sides are like sea snakes that breathe fire." The whole sea turned red, even the sky, the sky was reflected red. The sea was full of fire, and broken pieces of wood flew everywhere, and they were all on fire, as if - as if the sea had been burned. Every time they erupted fire, a wave that had been beaten half a day high rushed against them, and a wave was as high as several people...... And the thunder, the deafening thunder, which shook people's ears to the deafness......"

“……”

"At this time, we suddenly saw a fireball flying towards us-"

Before he finished his words, he heard a low cry next to him, it was Han Zitong, who covered his mouth with a pale face.

I only glanced at her, and didn't say anything, just said to Boss Wang, "And then?" ”

Boss Wang looked at me, then at Han Zitong, took a deep breath, and then said: "Fortunately, the fireball did not hit our boat, but just grazed the edge of the boat and fell, and it exploded, and our ship was broken into a large piece, fortunately, fortunately, it did not leak the bottom of the boat." We were terrified, afraid that they would attack us again, so we immediately set sail and left the sea, but the damaged hull had not been repaired well, and it was only when we saw you that we wanted your help. ”

“……”

It turned out that the damage to their boat, which had been seen before, was caused in this way.

The shipwrights who had just come up with him had already spoken, and Yao Lao immediately ordered someone to lead them to fetch the timber and iron nails that were on the ship, and help them repair the ship.

After listening to what he said, I didn't immediately ask anything more, but carefully recalled every detail he said, and after thinking for a while, I asked again: "So, that's how you left?" Didn't look at it, who won and who lost? ”

Boss Wang shook his head and said: "At that time, the ship was damaged, and we were all worried that it would be sunk, so where did we still have the heart to care about their life or death." ”

“……”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and muttered, "But—"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately asked, "But what?" ”

Boss Wang said: "Just as we were leaving, we found that another boat was coming. ”

"What?"

"As soon as the ship appeared, we immediately waved a flag to them not to go near it, but they sped up and passed towards the sea of fire."

"And then?"

"Then, the ship joined the fray."

My brow almost twisted into a pimple, and after a moment of suffocation, I asked, "Which side is that ship helping to fight which?" ”

Boss Wang didn't think about it, and immediately said: "He helped the fleet over there with a Shu accent to fight pirates." ”

“……”

I originally wanted to ask him if he had seen the win or lose, but when I remembered what he had just said, I gave up, and when I looked back, Yao Lao had been sitting silently on the chair on the other side, since he entered this cabin, he had never opened his mouth, Han Zitong had a frightened expression, and when he saw me looking at her, he was still a little stubborn and wanted to pretend to be calm, but his pale face could not deceive people.

I thought about it, turned back to Boss Wang and said, "You can rest first." They're already doing the repairs, so let's go down and take care of a little bit of it. ”

Boss Wang's eyes have also been practiced in the oil pot, so he naturally knows that the purpose of me, and the two people behind me who seem to be in charge of going to sea is not simple, and he didn't ask too much, just nodded and thanked him simply.

The three of us walked out of the small room.

Han Zitong immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?" Who hits whom? ”

Yao Lao also looked at me.

I thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the pirate who beats Yan Qinghan." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yao Lao's breath was suffocated.

I said calmly: "Their ship is the first to go to sea, so they will meet Boss Wang and their ship near Zhoushan, as for the pirates, why did they attack Yan Qinghan's ship, maybe it was to plunder." ”

Yao Lao hurriedly said: "Then the ship that participated in the battle behind-"

"It's Yuanfeng's ship."

"Are you so sure?"

I nodded and said, "Wei Zhengbang robbed Miss Xue, there was an accident, so Yuanfeng left Xichuan to chase their ship, it was a temporary decision, naturally there will be no fleet arranged for him in advance, but only one ship hurriedly went to sea." Yan Qingchen had long known that Yan Qinghan had prepared a ship to go to sea at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and naturally he also knew the general appearance of their ship, so naturally someone would sue Sù Yuanfeng about this news, so when he looked at the warring sides, he knew who was fighting whom. ”

“……”

"As for him participating in the war and helping Yan Qinghan, there is no other reason," I looked at Yao Lao and said calmly: "Because Miss Xue is in Yan Qinghan's hands, he wants to protect Miss Xue from being accidentally injured by pirates, so he can only help Yan Qinghan and them fight pirates." ”

“……”

Yao Lao didn't speak, only turned his head in silence and walked out, I watched the sun shine, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

After a while, he stopped and looked back at me: "So, how are they now?" ”

I was stunned and couldn't help but laugh in my heart. He probably also cared about it, forgetting that all my statements were speculation, and they were all guessed by relying on the situation that Boss Wang told us, and how could I guess what Boss Wang didn't see.

However, I also understand his feelings, just like I was worried that Liu Qinghan's ship was attacked by pirates, and the fear that was almost heart-rending at that moment was only understood by those who have experienced it. In order to comfort him, I still said: "Yan Qinghan's purpose of going to sea this time is very clear, he can't be defenseless at all, as for Yuanfeng, although he has never fought a naval battle, he is also a general after all, and he will not be completely beaten." Don't worry, Miss Xue will be fine. ”

Besides, there are some things that I can't say in front of Han Zitong.

Wei Zhengbang has always regarded Xue Muhua as his sweetheart, and he did not hesitate to betray the Yan family to collude with Yan Qinghan, but he also wanted to get her, how could he let her be hurt?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Yao Lao immediately looked at me, and I hurriedly disguised it and said, "However, one thing is certain. ”

"What?"

"There was nothing wrong with our route." I looked at the two of them and said, "Boss Wang met them near Zhoushan. ”

Yao Lao nodded, and Han Zitong next to him only glanced at me and didn't say anything.

"We might have to speed up a bit, though."

"Why?"

I didn't speak, I turned and walked out of the cabin, the cold sea breeze on the deck swept the salty mercury in my face, and my spirits were lifted, and I looked at the busy boatmen who kept transporting planks and nails and repairing the merchant ship, and I said softly: "They have arrived in Zhoushan, and no one knows what the battle will be; Where they will go after that battle, I don't know. ”

“……”

"Once they are lost, the vast sea will be difficult to find."

According to the order in which we went to sea, Boss Wang should at least be able to meet Xiao Yusheng, or Liu Qinghan, but he didn't, obviously, although this is offshore, but the sea area is too big, he can meet us, it is really a 1 in 10 million chance, it is fate.

And if we want to catch up with the ship in front, in fact, we can only rely on luck, and if we want to get lost, it is really a matter of course.

Han Zitong listened to my words, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then, when they finish it, we will do it immediately." ”

I nodded, "Yes." ”

As I spoke, I walked to the bow of the boat and held the fence with both hands.

The sea breeze was bitter and cold, and almost immediately blew my hands cold, and my hands holding the fence didn't feel cold at all.

Only from the bottom of my heart, I kept trembling.

The fence in my hand seemed to have become a wave, undulating constantly, almost making me unable to hold on, I pinched the wooden fence hard, and after a long time, I finally sobered myself up.

No......

No!

I rejoiced in my heart, almost ecstasy, to myself, no!

Just now, when I heard Boss Wang talk about that naval battle, I was indeed scared to the point that I was almost terrified, although I had already guessed at that time that the ship that received the attack was not Liu Qinghan's, but the intimidation at that moment made me feel uneasy until now.

I'm afraid that the Franco cannon has already been born.

When such a murder weapon is born, it doesn't matter if it wins or loses, but the first thing to bring must be killing!

Moreover, it is far from the naval battle that Boss Wang saw.

Before, I was worried that Yan Qinghan had found the Franc machine artillery, and fought with Xiao Yusheng, Pei Yuanfeng, or the sailor of Zhoushan, but listening to Boss Wang's description, although the naval battle was also fierce, it seemed that the scale was not large, and the ferocity of the artillery was far from what Hu Muhan described, and the ferocity of the Franc machine cannon was as fierce as it was when it was first born decades ago, it sounded more like when the Tiger Leaping Gorge was when the Zhoushan Naval Master sniped Queen Yin's boat.

According to the strength of the Franc machine artillery, it can destroy at least half of the ship by grazing the edge of the ship, but Boss Wang's ship is splint and fence have been damaged, and they can still hold on to the ship for so long.

That's just an ordinary artillery.

Thinking of this, I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart.

But this breath doesn't allow me to relax completely.

They haven't found it now, it doesn't mean that they will never find it, Yan Qinghan has already arrived near Zhoushan, where did her mother hide the artillery, and in the end, did she really hide the artillery somewhere overseas.

One qiē, all unknown.

But a qiē, it's also possible!

Looking at the undulating sea in front of him, it looks quite calm, but no one knows how many undercurrents are hidden in it, and how fierce the waves will be set off when possible.

I couldn't help but grasp the wooden fence in my hand.

At this moment, Han Zitong walked up to me, she looked at me for a while, and said softly, "Hey." ”

I turned to look at her.

Her face was still a little pale, and her expression was a little dazed: "That--the one they said, the Franc machine, the artillery, is that like that?" ”

I was silent for a moment and smiled faintly: "It's not like that. ”

"Oh......"

Seeing that she seemed to breathe, I said, "It's much more powerful than what Boss Wang said just now." ”

“……”

She looked up at me with wide eyes.
