Chapter 134 [The Lonely Old Man Guarding the Island]

The archer began to doubt his life. He had been invincible in the sea for many years and had never encountered a situation like this.

Confidence in archery is a very important factor, but now the archer gradually doubts whether he can defeat the opponent, and he loses his composure, and the arrows he shoots are becoming more and more off target.

After six arrows, Xin Che on the boat didn't even need to shoot. On the pirate ship, the archer himself could miss the target.

The shooter's mentality has collapsed.

The third in command, Rong Yi, saw that the archer had not returned yet and asked hurriedly, "Have you dealt with the person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the climbing claws made a "click" sound and quickly, accurately and ruthlessly climbed onto the side of the pirate ship.

Then, a black shadow flew up, flipped over the side of the ship, and hijacked the shooter who was trying to dodge with the scimitar in his hand.

Rong Yi quickly distanced himself and grabbed the only remaining signal firework at his waist.

Just now, he lit two signal fireworks in the rain, but they both misfired, leaving only this last one.

He lit the signal fireworks with the last glimmer of hope, and this time luck was on his side. The fireworks finally went off successfully, and a sharp sound rang out in the air!

The red signal fire exploded in the air.

Xin Che saw at a glance that Rong Yi on the boat was the one with the most say among the group. He threw the shooter in his hand to his second brother who came up later, then quickly grabbed Rong Yi and stuffed a small red pill into Rong Yi's mouth.

"Third Master!"

The pirates were busy rescuing the people under the cabin, but they didn't expect the old house to catch fire, their leader was captured, and they didn't expect that the best archer on their ship would miss?

The powerful sense of oppression emanating from Xin Che made Rong Yi's heart chill. He tried his best to control his trembling body: "Who are you? What did you give me to eat?"

"Poison. You need to come to me every month to get the antidote, otherwise you will bleed to death."

Rong Yi was groaning inwardly. Why did he encounter such a person when he just picked a merchant ship to attack? How could he come up with such a high-level poison so easily?

Rong Yi was speechless about the name his mother gave him.

His life over the past twenty-seven years has not been easy at all! He chose the wrong side, became someone else's scapegoat, fled to the sea, and now he's hitting a wall.

Rong Yi tried to talk to the other party. The other party didn't kill him directly, which meant that he was useful. "What are you going to do? Send me to the government to collect the reward?"

Xin Che indifferently tied Rong Yi up with a rope and said, "Your boat has changed hands now."

Rong Yi:?

What does that mean? Are we going to rob their ship?

No, who is the pirate?

Wen Qiao and Xin Cheng also led the boat crew to control the others successfully.

The pirates realized that it would be harmful to clash with these people now, and the third in command had just successfully released the signal fireworks, and the pirates nearby would come to rescue them if they saw it.

We robbed their ship. What should we do with the pirates on board?

Rong Yi swallowed his saliva: "I have sent out signal fireworks, our boss will save us."

He originally wanted to threaten Xin Che and ask him to hand over the antidote immediately, but when he met the other party's sinister eyes, the words on his lips became: "Why don't you give me the antidote, and we can discuss something."

When the pirates heard Rong Yi's tone, they immediately felt ashamed. The military advisor was too cowardly!

However, these people didn't say why they captured them. They didn't run away when they heard that reinforcements were coming from the sea. Are they so stupid as to wait to be caught?

Although there is a military advisor as a hostage, their boss has always been ruthless. If the trouble caused by the military advisor is greater than his usefulness, the boss will take action first to kill the military advisor.

Xin Che glanced at Rong Yi calmly and said, "I am only responsible for arresting people. As for how you will be dealt with, just wait for the final decision."

Rong Yi's heart skipped a beat. Is there another master behind such a powerful master? How can he make the person in front of him willingly serve him? Looking at this group of people, they didn't panic at all when they heard that reinforcements were coming. Who knows what is hidden on that merchant ship?

Wen Qiao sent a message to Jiang Lili, "These pirates have sent out fireworks signaling for help. Reinforcements are expected. You must be extremely careful on the merchant ship!"

After receiving the news, Jiang Lili immediately informed Marquis Zhaoping who was on the island.

Xin Che raised his eyes and glanced at the island: "In that case, let's drive their ship back to support our merchant ship."

When Rong Yi heard this, his face turned pale: It’s over... How come their brains work so quickly!

He could only pray madly that these people were not familiar with the ship and it would take a lot of time, so that the boss would have time to mediate and rush to the merchant ship opposite in advance to intercept all the things and capture a few hostages.

Wen Qiao also wanted to drive the three-masted sailboat back directly. "I just checked it out. Their ship is fully armed and even has a homemade cannon."

One pirate sneered, "This homemade cannon is broken. You can't use it. Don't dream on it."

"Don't even think about why we didn't use our artillery to fire at your boats."

"What? What cannon is broken?" Upon hearing this, Xin Cheng, a master craftsman, immediately put down his work on the telescope, walked over to the homemade cannon at the bow, and rolled up his sleeves: "Let me fix it!"

Pirates: ???

Rong Yi was skeptical when he heard this. Wasn't the ship they were robbing just an ordinary merchant ship? How did they mess with the boss's lair?

Looking again, Wen Qiao had already climbed up the mast nimbly and released the fixed sail. After the sail was unfolded, the forward speed immediately increased a lot. Then Wen Qiao came down from the mast and began to adjust the rudder. The rudder was so heavy, but she, a seemingly thin woman, controlled it flexibly with ease.

Here, Xin Cheng carefully inspected the condition of the homemade cannon. "The gun carriage is broken, causing the muzzle to be unstable. It needs to be reinforced."

While checking, Xin Cheng said casually: "If I had known earlier, I would have..."

I brought the toolbox that my sister-in-law gave me."

When Wen Qiao heard this, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Lili had mentioned to her that she could give out red envelopes in kind.

Half an incense stick of time later, Wen Qiao brought the toolbox and placed it at Xin Cheng's feet. "Miss Jiang also gave me a box. I put it on the raft as a backup. I didn't expect it to be useful so soon."

Xin Cheng was overjoyed and worked even harder.

After inspecting the cannon, Xin Cheng spoke with considerable professionalism, even knowing more about it than the pirates themselves: "The cannon's interior is clogged due to improper use. It needs to be cleared."

The pirates were a little confused as each one looked more skilled than the other. Who on earth had lived on this ship for several years?

Damn, I'm starting to worry about the people coming to support me...

On the turbulent sea, a sailboat slightly smaller than a three-masted sailboat was moving at full speed towards the merchant ship!

"Fourth Boss, I've seen the island!"

"That merchant ship is anchored right next to the island!"

The sailors on the sailboat shouted excitedly to the fourth in command.

The fourth in command had received the signal fireworks from the third in command earlier and rushed over in a hurry. The third in command's ship had never had any accidents before, so the fourth in command was quite surprised to receive the signal fireworks.

When he saw the merchant ship anchored on the shore halfway, he instantly understood that the third in command wanted him to pick up the bargain!

Look, on that small island, from afar, there is only an old boatman guarding the cargo!

The boatman is so old, and he can only wear a straw raincoat and suffer the cold in the rain. It's so pitiful.

Is there no one available in this merchant fleet, or are they bullying the old man?
