Bang bang bang!
Three cannon shots were fired, landing directly on the deck of the opposing pirate ship. Instantly, the deck caught fire. This time, Yinzhen and his men showed no mercy; the enemy was not one of their usual training vessels, but a real foe.
When Yinzhen saw the flames on the other side, he was overjoyed. Finally, they could start fighting.
In the past, during training, they mainly used training rounds to avoid damaging the ships. This time, however, the situation was different. Not only were training rounds not used, but real shells were fired instead.
"Hehe, Fourth Master did a great job, we can keep up the good work!" Fei Yanggu praised happily.
Inside the flower hall, Qingyan's face was pale as she listened to everything happening outside. She had to admit that Yinzhen was really showing his manly spirit this time. Without discussing it with Yinti and Fei Yanggu, he directly prepared to go out to sea for training. And during the training, he even had this opportunity.
"Little darling, will everything be alright?" Yin Genjue Luo heard the booming cannons outside, and her heart was shattered.
She hoped that the whole family could stay together, and Yinti was destined to stand at the front of the group; otherwise, the wishes of Yinzhen and the others could not be realized.
"No, sister-in-law, you must have faith in them. Putting aside others, Saito and Eshuo are only familiar with the new army. Naval warfare is a required course for them. Today, we must strike them hard. If we run away, won't foreign ships appear at our doorstep?" Qingyan recalled the Eight-Nation Alliance, which had appeared directly at their doorstep.
“Yes!” Yin Genjue Luo Shi nodded directly.
At this point, Qingyan had to admit that Kangxi's sons were truly outstanding, and Kangxi would definitely have a headache when faced with choosing an heir.
Qingyan fell silent. The opposing generals didn't take Yinti and Yinzhen seriously at all; they believed that the Qing navy was simply incapable of fighting.
As cannonballs were fired one after another, the pirates realized that the problem might be serious; the Qing Dynasty's cannonballs were not as weak as they had known.
"How could we not have investigated this thoroughly!" The pirates immediately started fighting amongst themselves. Inside the space, Qingyan was desperately trying to control his excitement with his mental energy. He absolutely could not show it in front of the Yin Genjue Luo clan.
Yinzhen's lips curled up slightly. The pirates' hasty retreat gave Yinzhen and his men an opportunity to give chase and capture all the people on the ship. This way, they would have more leverage to negotiate.
The pirates, however, had no qualms and opened fire directly on Yinzhen's ships. They fired at the location of the flower hall, and the masts of the ships were completely shot down.
Yin Genjue Luo looked at what was happening outside in horror. Qing Yan chuckled. These people were clearly warning them and preparing to take action against them.
In both her lives combined, she had never encountered pirates. Were those fierce pirates as handsome as Captain Jack Sparrow?
She tried hard to recall the meeting on the pirate ship earlier. There was a young boy who seemed unwilling to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. When the cannonballs landed on the deck, he carefully examined them and determined that they were naval bombs, not training bombs.
"Sister-in-law, let's leave here with the children!" Qingyan didn't want anything to happen to the children, so she quickly waited for them to go to her inner chamber.
"Suzhu, I'm entrusting the children to you. Apart from me and my family, no one is to be allowed to enter!" Qingyan warned directly.
The pirates are very cunning. If they are defeated, the three children should be able to escape in the chaos if they hide well.
"Master, I'll go myself." Su Zhu was worried about her master going out. If her master were captured, he might threaten the Fourth Master.
"No need, you don't know how to use firearms, you'll only cause them trouble!" Qingyan walked out directly, carrying a large gun box in her hand, inside which was her favorite high-precision sniper rifle, which she bought from the shop in her space. It would definitely be useful here.
She quickly climbed up to the monitoring point set up on the mast, where a flag signalman stood. He saw the princess coming and quickly greeted her.
"Get up and leave now!" Qingyan dismissed the person directly. There was no need for irrelevant people here. Sulan had followed Qingyan for many years and knew that Qingyan must have prepared some magic weapons to ensure victory.
The signalman quickly agreed and left the monitoring point on the mast step by step.
Qingyan carefully observed the surrounding environment. There was a wide field of vision all around, making it possible to strike the enemy at any time.
Of course, it also has a fatal flaw: if someone discovers their location, they may become a target for the enemy.
She was thankful that the other side didn't have a high-precision sniper rifle, otherwise she would have been instantly killed.
At this moment, she lay on the floor and looked outside through the sniper scope. Four or five men with telescopes appeared on the pirate ship. One of them was dressed very luxuriously and looked like the big man inside.
Qingyan looked up again; the pirate flag with the skull was fluttering in the wind. She slowly aimed at the flagpole and pulled the trigger.
With a gunshot, the skull and crossbones flag was shot down, causing panic among the enemy.
Yinzhen carefully observed the movements on the other side, discovered the problem, and was immediately stunned.
"Fourth brother, who is so capable?" Yinti exclaimed in delight, this person was definitely a talent.
Yinzhen didn't say much, nor did he turn back to look for Qingyan. He figured Qingyan was probably lying on the mast.
"Just as I thought!" Qingyan muttered.
The opposing side was in chaos. The leader was ruthless, and many ships had been lost under his command. Today, they had met their match. No wonder their faces were grim.
"Go investigate immediately!" They were still far behind the online army, yet their flag was directly shot down.
Even the pirate leader believed that there were spies on his own ships. Yinti also asked Yinzhen below whether he had sent spies to the pirates.
"Brother, it shouldn't be an informant, but someone else is helping us!" Yinzhen smiled. He immediately protected Qingyan, his left hand cut off, and gave her a hand gesture, telling her to leave quickly after the alarm was lifted.
Yinti looked confused. Was someone really helping him?
"Pirates are primarily driven by profit, so someone must have betrayed us!" Yinzhen spouted nonsense with an air of utter seriousness. Fei Yanggu and his two sons, having clearly demonstrated Qingyan's abilities, were collectively speechless upon hearing Yinzhen's explanation.
After hearing this, Yinti nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, there were still more people on the side of justice.
"Don't worry, I understand!" Yinti nodded. The other party definitely didn't want to reveal their identity, which was why they were helping from the shadows. They also needed to protect them well.
