Chapter 81: Innate Knowledge

The sound of explosions continued, and as the catapults threw out smoking thunder bombs, the Japanese pirate ships on the opposite side were blown up and burned one after another.

Iron sand flew everywhere, and a large number of Japanese pirates fell down screaming. At the same time, flames and thick smoke instantly ignited most of the ship...

Those Japanese pirates didn't even know what was happening.

Why did that black thing explode and fly when it hit the boat, and the iron sand shot directly through the flesh and blood, leaving people's skin and flesh torn apart?

Not only that, the exploding flames ignited the wooden boards, and the hull soon caught fire.

As a wave of thunder bombs rained down, the Japanese pirates were covered in wounds and screaming, their ships were on fire. For a moment, the Japanese pirate fleet became like a hell on earth, with shrill screams ringing in the ears.

"Laugh, why aren't you laughing?"

Growing up in the spring breeze and under the red flag, Chen Ning didn't have any antisocial personality, but at this moment, looking at those Japanese pirates with ugly and ridiculous Mediterranean hairstyles screaming and struggling in the sea of fire, she laughed especially happily.

Chen Ning felt like she was burning the ancestors of the Japanese devils. She was so pleased that she turned her head and smiled at Su Lianyi: "Haha, isn't it spectacular?"

But before she finished her words, her laughter stopped abruptly.

Shen Ning saw that on the towed fishing boat, Xu Zhiyi, wearing a purple robe and a bamboo hat, was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a smile.

“Why isn’t Shopkeeper Shen smiling anymore?”

Shen Ning looked at Xu Zhiyi quietly, and for a moment, countless thoughts popped up in her mind.

Do you want to silence him?

But she quickly dismissed the idea... He couldn't be a fool. He dared to appear in front of the Japanese pirate fleet with two or three people in a wheelchair. He must have his own support.

But he saw the thunder bomb.

Originally, Shen Ning's plan was to sink the entire Japanese pirate fleet and then walk away.

All the people on this ship are trustworthy, even the guards are carefully selected by Zhao Tong and have signed a death contract.

When the time comes and she's done, who can say she did it?

It should have been foolproof... But who could have imagined that Xu Zhiyi, the third son of the dignified cabinet minister, would appear before her like this on a fishing boat.

"Why does Xu feel that Shopkeeper Shen wants to throw two of those things at me as well?"

Xu Zhiyi cried out, "If that happens, I'm doomed... My little boat can't withstand such an attack. I'll just sink silently into the sea and become food for the fish."

He seemed to be joking, but Shen Ning saw a devilish deliberate temptation in his smiling peach blossom eyes: deliberately tempting her to cheat him?

Is this guy crazy?

In an instant, Shen Ning's expression returned to normal. She hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Master Xu, why are you here? You still have the mind to joke... Quick, come, invite Master Xu up."

Xu Zhiyi blinked, a look of regret in his eyes.

It would be a shame not to do anything...

On the sea ahead, the Japanese pirate fleet had become like a bonfire on the sea. The pirates in the water were struggling, some holding on to wooden boards for help, and then were shot through by archers on the Fu ships.

Shen Ning no longer cared about appreciating the grand spectacle of burning the devils. She poured tea for Xu Zhiyi with a respectful look on her face, her expression full of concern: "Third Master, why are you here? That situation just now was so dangerous. Fortunately, you were not hurt."

Xu Zhiyi looked at her with a smile: "Yes, thanks to Manager Shen for coming to the rescue."

"No, no, it's because you, Third Master, are blessed with great fortune and are blessed by Heaven."

Chen Ning and Xu Zhiyi were in the cabin, and outside, Er Yue was cleaning up the mess.

The Japanese pirate fleet has been completely wiped out, and all that remains is to clean up and finish off the enemy. With the archers trained by Zhao Tong, those Japanese pirates will definitely not return.

"This group of Japanese pirates are so unlucky to have met Manager Shen. I'm afraid none of them can return." Xu Zhiyi didn't have the airs of Mr. Xu Sanye at all. Both his smile and tone were very easygoing and amiable.

But Shen Ning was not careless at all.

She replied respectfully: "The Japanese pirates are burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil along the coast of Daxuan. Everyone has the right to punish them."

Xu Zhiyi nodded: "That's right, everyone can kill him, but not everyone has the ability to do so... Speaking of which, the thing that Manager Shen just used to attack the Japanese pirate fleet was really powerful."

He looked at Shen Ning with a smile: "Xu is ignorant and has never heard of it."

Shen Ning quickly said, "In her early years, Shen accidentally saw an ancient book at her maternal grandfather's house. It seemed to be an imported book with some rare things recorded on it, so she tried to make it... I didn't expect it to be so amazing."

"That's a coincidence."

Xu Zhiyi clapped his hands and said, "I, Xu, also saw a classic book in my early years."

He looked at Chen Ning: "It is recorded in the classics... There are people in the world who are born with knowledge, who are born with the ability to do what ordinary people cannot do and know what ordinary people do not know."

Seeing that Shen Ning looked normal, Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Can the ancient book of Shopkeeper Shen still be found now? Why don't we take a look at it in turn?"

Chen Ning sighed and said regretfully, "When I was young and ignorant, I actually treated it as an ordinary old book and threw it around carelessly. I don't know where it is now. I don't know if it accidentally fell into the stove and burned."

Xu Zhiyi sighed, "That's a shame. Fortunately, Manager Shen has a photographic memory and can still clearly remember the books he read as a child."

Shen Ning was a little embarrassed: "I dare not, I just barely remember a little."

Xu Zhiyi nodded: "It just so happens that I have a good memory... Manager Shen, do you want to know what happened to the person who was born with knowledge in that book I was reading?"

Shen Ning showed a curious look: "Please give me some advice, Third Master."

Xu Zhiyi smiled at her and said, "That person who was born with knowledge seems to be a concubine of the previous dynasty. It is said that she knows many things that others do not know, and she also inexplicably knows about people she has never met... She can foresee things that have not yet happened and has helped their majesty a lot. In the end, she..."

Xu Zhiyi's tone suddenly turned sinister, and he spoke word by word, "...she was sunk into a well by her Majesty."
