Xiao Ming rushed back to the meeting place, only to see that Guo Shouxin had called all the dozens of tiger guards on the "Baoding", everyone was checking the weapons and equipment, and set up an ambush site, the Baoding due to the heavy hull, now occupies a dock trestle, which also provides good conditions for the gangsters to attack him.

Xiao Ming looked around, ordered everyone to hide behind the many dock cargo, and also ambushed some floating boats on both sides of the ship, it was best for everyone to just wait for the time for the other party's sneak attack.

Everyone didn't eat dinner, and waited until nightfall, everyone was very nervous, Xiao Ming didn't know how many people the other party would send to deal with the sailors on the ship, or if they didn't need to deal with the sailors, the traitors on the ship would take care of the whole thing, if that's the case, they couldn't do anything if they were ambushed on the shore.

However, since the other party is going to hijack the ship during the war, it means that it must be carried out while wearing it while it is still on the dock, but the consequences of doing so are likely to be very serious, there will still be patrolling soldiers around the dock of Guangzhou Port, once it is discovered, Shi Wengong will definitely fall into passivity, Xiao Ming feels that Shi Wengong will definitely not openly oppose the government.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ming still felt that he had to wait on the shore, if there was really a traitor at this time, he would definitely closely monitor the movements of Xiao Ming and the Tiger Guards, and if the Tiger Guards still didn't return to the ship at night, he would definitely find a way to inform Shi Wengong of them.

Therefore, Xiao Ming not only watched the movement outside the dock, but also closely monitored the movement on the "Baoding" to see if anyone came down from the ship.

Everyone continued to wait, and the time slowly came to the end of the war, but Gu Xiaoliu was a little nervous, he and Guo Shouxin were acting as long-range blockers, and the scoop in their hands was an improved spiral bullet gun, which was an improved spring-fired weapon based on the original bullet crossbow, and also added a rifled barrel! The rate of fire and power were further strengthened, and at a distance of two or three hundred paces, a lead projectile was fired with a small sound but rotating.

Xiao Ming turned his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled, "You kid!" I have seen a lot of big battles, and now such a small battle can be tense? ”

"Master Hou!" Gu Xiaoliu wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, wanting to explain to himself.

"This feeling of hiding and waiting for the rabbit, I'm a little uncomfortable," Gu Xiaoliu said.

"Why isn't that Xiao Guo nervous?"

"I'm no match for that kid, the tendons in his head are like steel bars, and he won't blink when the steamer comes straight to him! A lot of people obey him! ”

"Huh!" Xiao Ming smiled, in fact, he was also a little nervous, because of the uncertainty of the matter, talking to Gu Xiaoliu could also be regarded as relieving this tension, at this time, Guo Shouxin suddenly said: "No! Hou Ye, you see"

Xiao Ming listened and looked at Guo Shouxin's fingers, and he found that the Baoding had quietly unanchored and ignited and was ready to go offshore! He said, "Not good! Turning around, he immediately said to the escort officer who was waiting on the side: "Let the tiger guard who is ambushed in the dinghy follow!" ”

The Tiger Guard officer took the order and left, Xiao Ming thought for a while and ordered: "Xiao Liu, you and Xiao Guo are waiting here, according to the original plan, and then he got up and felt the dock plank road, Xiao Ming decided to personally lead people to follow the Baoding, and find a chance to get on the ship, from the current situation, the Baoding has been robbed!"

Xiao Ming led the people to quickly rush to the dinghy under the dock, and then ordered the boat to start, and slowly rowed towards the Baoding under the cover of night, they basically rowed the dinghy to the side of the Baoding from the open sea, where could they avoid the gradually lit lights on the dock.

After approaching the Baoding, Xiao Ming jumped onto the Baoding with a rope, and then he fixed the rope and let the tiger guards climb onto the boat one by one, and the tiger guards in ambush on the dinghy were only ten people in total, and these manpower must be used as a whole, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the gangsters on the ship.

Xiao Ming and others on the Baoding are very familiar, they went directly to the main wheelhouse, when they were about to arrive, Xiao Ming told everyone to be careful, sure enough, as soon as the corner turned, the tiger guard in front quickly turned around and whispered to Xiao Ming, there are two standing guard at the door! Xiao Ming nodded at him, and then made a gesture.

Quickly clearing out the guards at the door is not trivial for the tiger guards, they quickly caught the fainted two, so as not to make too much noise, and then let them go out, after Xiao Ming approached, he listened attentively, and there was a faint sound of talking inside, but it seemed that there were not many people!

There are not many sailors who have been bought off the Baoding, but the leader is a cook, it stands to reason that Xiao Ming requires that both warships and merchant ships are very strict when recruiting sailors, but he forgets that non-nautical professional technicians such as cooks, stokers, and maintenance on ordinary ships are not so strict in recruitment.

This allowed Shi Wengong to seize the opportunity, the chef on the Baoding was not only responsible for cooking, but also responsible for purchasing and other things, so he was targeted by Shi Wengong a long time ago, and the Baoding was one of several ships that regularly went to Guangzhou Port for cargo re-export, so after getting the chef's report, they made arrangements early.

But coincidentally, Xiao Ming also chose the Baoding as the ship to Guangzhou, and discovered Shi Wengong's conspiracy by mistake, and now the cook is brandishing a sharp knife to threaten the ship boss on the Baoding.

According to the plan, the Baoding must sail two nautical miles away from the port, wait for Shi Wengong's hijackers who have been waiting there for a long time, and then after everyone boards the ship, it will sail back to the port of Guangzhou again, which is very troublesome for ordinary sailing ships, but for hybrid ships like Baoding, it is very simple, it doesn't even have to hang sails.

The cook was a little proud, not only did he not have to pay off the gambling debts he owed, but he also promised to give him 10,000 taels of silver, as well as two beautiful little fans, as long as he took the ship out and returned it, the person who answered would accept the big ship, and then he would have nothing to do with himself when he returned to Guangzhou Port!

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the cabin, and the cook yelled, "Who is it?" ”

"The boss has something to look for you, and there is a problem with the boiler!" The doorway replied.

Without even thinking about it, the cook said, "Come in!" Damn it! It must be those stokers who are making trouble, and you have to kill a few people to be honest! ”

The door was opened, and his men stood in the doorway, but did not enter, in addition to the cook, there was also one of his men in the main cab, and they looked at the accomplice outside the door in amazement, the guy stared at two eyes, but his head was tilted to the side, and then his body slowly fell to the ground, revealing the person behind him! The man was holding a short gun!

"Bang!" After a gunshot, the man in the room convulsed and fell to the ground, and the cook realized that the other spears were aimed at him, and he felt a cold wind in his lower back, and then his crotch was hot, and he peed his pants......

The cook was successfully subdued, according to his explanation, Xiao Ming sent someone to quickly subdue the other three accomplices, and then continued to sail towards the open sea according to the plan of hijacking the ship, Xiao Ming issued the order in an orderly manner, and the Baoding continued to sail according to Xiao Ming's order, Xiao Ming sneered at the cook.

"Spare your life! I was forced," the guy said as he slumped on the ground.

Xiao Ming played with a short gun in his hand and asked casually: "Say, how do you contact those people in the open sea, how many of them are there?" I don't want to ask a second time! ”

"Yes! Yes, after arriving at the designated place, light the lantern as a number, and then they will send a small boat over, and then board the ship to control the entire Baoding, and then return to Guangzhou Port, how many people, the villain really doesn't know! ”

"Is it time now?"

"Coming soon"

Xiao Ming gave him a smile and said, "Okay, you lead the way in front, bring the lantern."

Xiao Ming pressed the cook and walked up to the deck, only to see that the Baoding was slowing down, and there was a small island in front of this place, which now looked ghostly in the night. Standing on the deck, the cook lit the lantern as planned, it was a lantern of the leather, which was very distinguishable from the other lanterns on the deck.

The lantern glowed like a ghostly fire, and after a while, two small boats were rowed out from the shadow of the island, and two lanterns were lit identically, and they were rowing towards the Baoding, and after approaching the side of the Baoding, Xiao Ming signaled for them to throw down the suspension ladder, so those people began to board the ship one by one.

Then one of them came up and was knocked unconscious, and the tiger guards cooperated very well, one covered his mouth and the other smashed people with the butt of his gun, and after a while, seven or eight people who came up were all lying on the ground! The men in the dinghy that had brought them were among them, and the two boats were tied to the side of the Baoding.

Xiao Ming said: "Now I will spare your life, but whether you can live depends on your luck, throw him down to me!" As soon as he pointed at the cook, the tiger guard went over and set him up, "Spare your life! Before the cook's pleas for mercy were over, he was thrown into the sea with a thud.

Xiao Ming ordered: "Open the boat, let's go back!" ”

…… The Baoding still returned to the port of Guangzhou, this section of the route, the ship boss is very familiar, almost without a compass can travel, and soon stopped at the original ship, Xiao Ming asked everyone to get ready, and then waited quietly, but in fact, there was already a group of people waiting at the dock.

They were playing an identical lantern, Xiao Ming shook the lantern in his hand, the group of people below seemed to be very excited, and after leaving a group of people, they were about to get on the gangplank and prepare to board the boat, Xiao Ming remained silent, and counted the number of their gang, there were about ten people, thinking that they would occupy the manpower to be placed in various posts after the ship.

The first person boarded the boat first, and after coming up, he said haha: "Haha, Chef Luo, it seems that you are still very safe!" So easy to do? Now the ship boss should be our man, right? "This person is Shi Wengong.

Xiao Ming flashed out and said to him: "Chef Luo is gone, but Yan Luo has one!" Then he raised his hand and shot Shi Wengong behind him!

The sound of gunfire is an order, ten tiger guards stood in a row and shot behind Shi Wengong together, the boat was in chaos, people kept falling into the water, and the people under the boat were also ready to escape, but at this time, a dense number of bullets were fired from the shore, and many of those people were immediately shot and fell to the ground, Shi Wengong was forced by the tiger guard to scoop the gun, and he watched all this dumbfounded.

Under the blow of both sides of the ship, half of the ten people were killed and wounded, and the rest of the people fled outward, but at this time, the port wharf was brightly lit, and a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly poured out from several major intersections, blocking all the escape routes.

When the fleeing gangsters saw it, they immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and they raised their hands to surrender......
