Chapter 75 The Little Crow Flies to the Pirate's House
Xiang Xiuxiu quickly hugged her arms tightly and jumped up and down in silent cheers.
Mom is okay, that’s great!
Tao Xue was so happy that she was about to cry.
"Princess, you finally showed up. I thought you were killed by them!"
Xiangying laughed softly from her red lips: "Who can kill me?"
After she removed the window, she used her excellent skills to climb onto the deck and found a place to hide.
She just heard from a passing soldier that Jie Chen and his men had gone after them in a boat, so she went around to the children's room.
"Now they have parked the boat in the river. It seems that they will not set off until they find you." Tao Xue said worriedly.
Xiang Yuanlang tugged at Xiangying's sleeve with his little hand.
He looks childish, but his tone is cold, like a little adult.
"With Jie Chen away, the ship will lose its morale if things get a little chaotic. Let's take this opportunity to rebel."
Xiang Yuanxiao clenched his fist and said, "That's right. We will take over this boat, throw those soldiers into the water, and then escape by boat."
Xiang Xiuxiu nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay!"
Xiangying held down the three little ones' heads.
"It's not a good time to leave now. There are five large ships following us. We can't run fast."
Xiang Yuanlang was a little dissatisfied: "Are you reluctant to part with Jie Chen?"
Xiangying laughed out loud: "What are you talking about! If I really want to run, no one can stop me."
The problem is that she doesn't want to leave now. She wants to see if there is any chance to deal with those pirates.
Xiang Yuanxiao muttered: "She must be reluctant to part with Jie Chen. She used to be unable to walk when she saw a handsome man."
At this moment, the soldiers outside shouted fiercely:
"Be careful! There's an ambush!"
As soon as they finished speaking, there was a sound of countless arrows breaking through the air and hitting the cabin with a thud.
"Ah!" Tao Xue was startled and hugged the children.
Xiangying opened the door a crack to check.
I saw a lot of masked strong men climbing up from the bow and stern of the ship. They were waving machetes in their hands and fighting with the soldiers on the deck.
The following ships also released fireworks to signal that they were encountering a dangerous attack.
Xiangying immediately closed the door.
"The pirates are attacking."
Tao Xue's face turned pale: "So fast? Isn't it still a little distance from the gourd mouth?"
Xiangying said in a serious tone: "For pirates of their size, there must be people on both sides of the river watching them. They may have already set their sights on our fat ships."
This time the pirates must have come well prepared.
Tao Xue trembled: "Princess, what should we do? If we are killed by pirates, it would be unjust."
Xiangying's mind was working rapidly.
The pirates will definitely not fight to the end, because Jie Chen and his men will not go far and will definitely return again.
These South Vietnamese soldiers were only temporarily panicked. If they were to fight with real guns and swords, they would not be able to gain any advantage as they had no terrain advantage.
So Xiangying estimated that they were planning to grab some food and then run away.
"Hurry, Taoxue, change your clothes." Xiangying reached out and tried to strip the clothes of the two unconscious soldiers.
Tao Xue was confused: "Change, change clothes?"
Xiangying stripped the two soldiers naked, pulled off Taoxue's clothes, and dressed her up as a soldier.
He took out some black ash from the stove where he had eaten fish and smeared it on Taoxue's face.
"Take another set of clothes and go find my brother and Miss Lin. Have Miss Lin change into a soldier's clothes and pretend to be a man. Then prop up the door from the inside with wood."
She pushed Tao Xue out, and Tao Xue turned back hurriedly: "Princess, what about you and the children?"
Xiangying's phoenix eyes were calm and composed: "I will take them to get the pirates' stuff."
"What!?" Tao Xue was stunned and felt that her eldest princess was too bold.
Xiangying brought the three little ones with her, of course, because they all have their own abilities, and they are safest when they are with her.
Tao Xue didn't bother to ask any questions and chose to listen to Xiang Ying's words and staggered to Xiang Li's room.
No matter what, what the princess said is right!
"Mother," Xiang Xiuxiu was confused, "What should we do?"
Xiangying said softly, "You don't have to do anything in a while. Just pretend to be scared in front of the pirates and be kidnapped with your mother."
Xiang Yuanxiao frowned: "Kidnapped? If we go with the pirates, our fate won't be any better."
Xiang Yuanlang patted him with his little hand.
"Don't worry, big brother. Pirates are easier to deal with than these annoying South Vietnamese soldiers."
The three little ones immediately rubbed their hands and were excited.
Xiangying took out the internal structure diagram of the pirates' stronghold in the space.
The copy she gave to Jie Chen was a copy she made herself.
On the picture, she accurately found the words "warehouse" and "granary".
Yes, that's what she wanted.
Supplies, lots of supplies!
The pirates finally looted her cabin one by one.
The door was kicked open. Two strong men were standing at the door. Their faces were not clear, but their excited voices were heard:
"Second Master! Here is a beautiful woman and three cute kids!"
Several strong men immediately stepped in.
Xiangying pretended to be harmless and protected his daughter: "What do you want to do!"
The strong man grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? We're going to kidnap you and make you our leader's wife!"
They laughed wildly and put a sack over Xiangying's head.
The other three little ones were also prepared to be taken away.
The children listened to Xiangying's words and not only did not resist, they huddled together and trembled.
However, just as they were about to catch Xiang Xiuxiu, they heard the sound of a bird whistle outside.
One of them urged: "Oh no, we have to leave. The boat is full. We can't take all three children with us. We can only take one."
Their eyes roamed over the child's face.
Xiang Xiuxiu was afraid of being left behind, so she rushed over immediately and said, "I don't want to be separated from my mother!"
However, she was the first one to be picked up and thrown to the side.
The strong man said, "We don't need girls anymore. There are enough girls in the village. If we take them back, we have to raise them. They are like chicks. What's the use of them?"
Xiang Yuanlang is too thin and they don’t want him either.
On the contrary, seeing Xiang Yuanxiao's white face, red lips and slightly chubby face always gives people a cute feeling of a New Year picture doll.
"It's him!" The sturdy man grabbed Xiang Yuanxiao with his big hand, put a sack over his head and carried him on his shoulder.
Take Xiangying away with him.
Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu looked at each other.
Xiang Xiuxiu: "Why did you choose the eldest brother? Is it because I am not as good-looking as him?"
Xiang Yuanlang sneered: "They picked and chose, and chose the most difficult one to deal with. They were all deceived by the appearance of the eldest brother!"
When Xie Chen came back, the pirates had already retreated.
The soldiers did not suffer heavy casualties, with most being injured, and several pirates were captured.
But they still robbed most of the food and fodder.
The pirates also left a arrogant note: Tolls have been collected, you can pass without worry.
The implication is that they stole so much food and turned it into a toll. They are really a group of unreasonable robbers!
General Ke was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"What should we do? What do you think we should do now? Why did you bring people to chase Xiangying for no reason? This is going to ruin everything!"
Xie Chen's face was as dark as ink: "Twenty pirates robbed more than a hundred people from our six ships. Was it because I left at an unlucky time, or are you useless?"
General Ke was touched in a sore spot: "You——!"
At this time, Xiang Xiuxiu ran over crying and hugged Jie Chen's legs with her little hands.
"Uncle Jie, my mother and brother have been captured by pirates!"
Xiang Yuanxiao: I’m going to die.
Water thief: The cute little baby is scared~
Xiang Yuanxiao: I’m talking about you.
