Chapter 9 Reinforcements

The days passed in peace, and Zhu Xiaoqi's hanging heart finally let go. After the coconut milk incident, Donna didn't retaliate against him, and was even a little afraid of him, and hid away when she saw him.

Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but wonder if this woman had been damaged by his accidental shot. However, he didn't dig deeper, and it was best for him that everyone was okay.

The time for the arrival of the rescue is getting closer and closer, and the mood of the female soldiers is gradually brightening. Lan Xinyue began to worry.

"What's wrong with you being so worried for the past two days?" Lan Xinyi couldn't help but ask while walking with her sister on the beach after dinner.

"Nothing, sister. I just think that compared to the complex environment of Sea Moon City, I may be more suitable for the simple life on an isolated island. Lan Xinyue sighed.

"I've been messing around with that stinky boy all day long, and I've become no longer pursuing!" Lan Xinyi frowned.

"It's none of his business. Lan Xinyue shook her head, "If it weren't for the shipwreck, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that outside the metropolis where the lights are bright and the money is drunk, there is such a pure land where people can still live so simply." ”

"On the island, I don't care about you. After returning to Haiyue City, he had to return to his normal track. You are the daughter of the Lan family, and your future is limitless. Lan Xinyi looked at her sister lovingly.

"Sister, you won't be worried that I'll like that kid, right?" Lan Xinyue turned her head to look at her and asked with a grin.

"I'm sure your vision won't be so low. My sister took the initiative to say it, which made Lan Xinyi breathe a sigh of relief, "It's just that people are in a desperate situation and are easy to indulge themselves, I'm giving you a wake-up call." ”

"You're thinking so far!" Lan Xinyue smiled bitterly, "When you get to Haiyue City, it's a question of whether he can survive or not, I just sympathize with him." ”

"Hand over the people and the task is done. When it comes to the royal family, you have to be extremely cautious, understand?" Lan Xinyi muttered.

"I understand. Lan Xinyue nodded. She will not harm the interests of the family for Zhu Xiaoqi, but she will never sit idly by. She had to find a way to keep him alive.

Under the setting sun, a cloud sail suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance. A black skull flag fluttered in the wind above the cloud sails.

"Sister, look!" Lan Xinyue looked at it, and her face changed greatly.

"Pirate flag!" Lan Xinyi's face also changed.

"I'm watching here, you go and report to the captain!" she commanded.

Lan Xinyue turned her head and ran towards the cave, and before she ran far, she met Li Xiaowan and a group of female soldiers.

"Captain!" Lan Xinyue hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Xiaowan raised her hand slightly: "I know." ”

It turned out that the female soldier standing guard had already reported to her the news of the discovery of the pirate ship.

When Li Xiaowan and the others arrived at the beach, the pirate ship had long since disappeared. The ship did not head towards the island, but only showed its head above the sea level and sailed into the distance.

"It seems that the ship is passing by. But this shows that there is piracy in this area, and we must strengthen our defenses. Li Xiaowan looked at the sea level in the distance and calmly analyzed.

Everyone nodded.

"Reinforcements are estimated to arrive in three days, and we only have to hold out for three days. As far as I know, the number of pirates in this area usually does not exceed 100, and we can handle it. Speaking of this, Li Xiaowan pointed to the direction of the cave behind her, "As long as you set up two catapults on the mountain over there, you can control the beach in the southeast in front of the cave." The northwest side is full of steep mountain walls, which are not suitable for landing, so don't worry. If the pirates come, when they disembark, we sink their ships with catapults to prevent them from retreating for help, and then fight in close combat. ”

Li Xiaowan gave an order, and the female soldiers quickly took action.

At this moment, Twilight Xuewei showed a very high level of tactical literacy, and it only took them half a day to set up two catapults on the mountain and complete the commissioning. Early the next morning, Li Xiaowan organized a live-fire training to ensure that everyone was proficient in operating the catapult and hit it in one shot.

After the temporary recruit Zhu Xiaoqi learned the news that he was going to fight pirates, he became extremely excited, and when the female soldiers were training, they were all over the mountains to help move stones.

His hard work paid off. When he proposed at the end of the training that he also wanted to learn how to operate a catapult, Li Xiaowan actually agreed, leaving two female soldiers to teach him.

Lan Xinyue also stayed. Although the cave where they lived was a dead end for shooting, she was afraid that Zhu Xiaoqi would get confused and throw herself out as a stone.

And Zhu Xiaoqi's training can only be described as miserable. It is the flowers and trees on the island that suffer.

If we can't beat it, we'll practice, we can't even be inferior to women! Zhu Xiaoqi's bullish temper came up, and he brought stones to fill the catapult again and again, and asked the female soldiers for advice over and over again.

"What a tired cow!"

"I'm saliva!"

The two female soldiers looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, who quickly turned around and ran to move the stones, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Go and rest, I look at him. Lan Xinyue knew his temper very well and took the initiative to relieve the two female soldiers.

"Zhu Xiaoqi, what are you stimulated today?" Seeing Zhu Xiaoqi struggling to push a big stone into the catapult, and then sitting on the ground panting to rest, Lan Xinyue couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that I was going to fight pirates, my blood is boiling!" Zhu Xiaoqi wiped his sweat and said with a smile.

"With your current training level, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to play!" Lan Xinyue said with a wry smile.

"I know that. However, I have heard the storyteller say that in war, some small things and small people that people do not pay attention to often change the outcome of a battle. Such people and things are the X factor in war. I'm going to work hard to be the X-factor of Twilight Xuewei!" Zhu Xiaoqi said in high spirits.

Lan Xinyue had the urge to take a fork and fork him to death.

"Alright, X-factor, get up and move the stones!" she said with a forced smile and a straight face.

In half a day, thousands of stones were moved, and Zhu Xiaoqi was finally able to operate the catapult to fight eight or nine. Looking at his radiant appearance after an accurate hit, and then looking at his red and swollen arms, Lan Xinyue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Alright, training is over. ”

"Oh. Zhu Xiaoqi stopped.

"You fool, what are you doing so desperately?" she looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, who was rubbing her arms, and reproached softly.

"I'm really stupid, catapults can't be used for farming, what do I have to do with them! Even if there are really pirates, it won't be my turn to fight!" Zhu Xiaoqi tilted his head and looked at the catapult, his eyes a little lost.

"That's not for sure. I will tell the captain that you are very accurate, and if we can't get out of the way to deal with the pirates, we will arrange for you to go up the mountain and help us destroy the pirates' ships. X factor, don't underestimate yourself!" Lan Xinyue comforted.

"That's right!" Zhu Xiaoqi slapped his head suddenly, and his mood became happy.

"Now, I order you to go down the mountain and rest. ”

"Yes, squad leader!" Zhu Xiaoqi raised his head in response, dragging his tired body and staggering down the mountain.

Looking at the slightly chubby figure that was gradually moving away, Lan Xinyue's heart felt sour. After three days, the peaceful life on the island was over. Zhu Xiaoqi, what awaits you, what will be the ending?

The sea breeze ruffled her hair and her mind.

——

"Woo-woo-"

In the early morning of April 26, 1573, a melodious horn broke the calm of the desert island. A mighty warship slowly galloped towards the island.

The familiar horn plunged the female soldiers of Twilight Snow into extreme joy. This is the welcome number of the Imperial Royal Guard, and the reinforcements they have been waiting for have finally arrived!

A group of happy female soldiers, led by captain Li Xiaowan, ran towards the beach. After waking up after hearing the horn, Zhu Xiaoqi looked around in a panic, but did not find a female soldier, and his expression changed greatly. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran up the hill.

"What about Zhu Xiaoqi?" Lan Xinyue's eyes slipped around the team, and she didn't see the figure of the fat man, so she frowned and asked the female soldier Xiaolan beside her.

"I guess I was too tired from training yesterday afternoon, so I'm still sleeping!" Xiaolan replied.

"Forget it, wake him up when you leave!" Lan Xinyue said.

Standing on the side of the ship, looking at the island that was becoming clear in the distance, a smug smile appeared on the young major's face. This is a young man with a handsome appearance and a well-built figure, and his only drawback is that his face is too pale. On his left chest was a golden badge with a blood-colored shield painted on it, representing his status as a royal guard of the Celestial Dragon Empire.

The sea breeze is light, gentle and affectionate, just like his mood at this time.

The stage, just ahead. Props, all in place. The audience has already squeezed their heads on the battleship Seahawk. The heroic beauty saving drama directed by him is about to begin. A few days later, the heroic deeds of Wu Chen, a dignified and handsome Major of the Royal Guard, who led a battleship to ride the wind and waves for thousands of miles to help Du Xuewei, will make the front page headlines of the major media in the capital of God.

Fame is not what the young master of the Wu family, who is in the center of power, wants, he just wants all his competitors to understand: Lan Xinyi is already in his bowl, and Li Xiaowan in the pot is not something that others can move, and whether he eats or not depends on his mood.

"Wu Jiataoguang has been in obscurity for too long, in fact, it feels really good to be in the limelight like this occasionally! Low-key is a helpless choice when the strength is not enough, and when the power is in hand, an appropriate high-profile can win the respect of others. Wu Chen let out a pleasant sigh.

"The young master has an incisive analysis! Haiyue City, this vanity fair, people's eyes are chasing power! Low-key, others will trample you to death, high-profile, others will lie down and let you step on it. Lieutenant Zhang Decai, who was standing behind him, slapped it at an untimely time. He is a descendant of the Wu family, he used to be Wu Chen's scholar, and now he is his adjutant.

"Well, you're looking at the problem a little bit more now. Work hard, and strive to stand alone in the future!" Wu Chen nodded respectfully.

"Thank you, young bishop!" Zhang Decai hurriedly replied.

"Lan Xinyue seems to be on the island too, right?" Wu Chen suddenly asked.

"Yes. The two daughters of the Lan family are on the island. The young master has a unique vision, these two big beauties, one rigid and one soft, one moving and one still, that complements each other, and the beauty is intoxicating!" Zhang Decai said meaningfully.

"Alas, that can only be said in the future, after all, the strength of the Lan family is now on par with ours. Wu Chen let out a sigh. He felt that even if he had the status he had today, he still had to work hard, otherwise many dreams would not come true.

"Li Xiaowan, that's a thorny flower, young master, don't think about it anymore. Because the head of the family had confessed, Zhang Decai reminded him.

"I know. A trace of hatred flashed on Wu Chen's face, and he reluctantly responded. If he doesn't think about it, it will never be possible! Li Xiaowan was the first woman who made him tempted, and the first woman who embarrassed him. He must conquer her, or his life will be left with an irreparable regret, no matter what heights he reaches in the future.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the lookout post has spotted the stranded merchant ship Gale Gas. "A guard came briskly and brought excellent news.

"Okay, get ready to land!" Wu Chen was excited and ordered loudly.
