Amid the sound of rushing water, a large vermilion lacquered ship sailed slowly towards Dalei Island through the misty rain.

"Are we there yet?" A young man in a brocade robe poked his head out of the cabin. This was the eighteenth time he asked this question that night.

"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man standing on the deck wearing a straw raincoat and hat answered in a low voice.

Finally getting the answer he wanted, the young man still asked nervously, "Uncle Wang, do I really need to go to the island?"

"It is necessary." The middle-aged man nodded and answered the question irrelevantly: "I heard that Miss Jiang is very useful and beautiful."

"So what?" the young man asked in confusion.

"I will greet them later and act out a scene with you, sir." The middle-aged man said calmly, "Let the little girl develop a good impression of you. On the way back, please her more. This is very important for you to pass this test."

"Only if we appease the little girl can we avoid making a big fuss." He glanced at the young man and said, "Of course, if you have the ability to win Miss Jiang's heart, the master will also be happy to see it happen."

"What a joke..." The young man said with a wry smile, "People hate us so much that they can't wait to do so."

"Love and hate are just a matter of thought, let alone a little girl." The middle-aged man sneered and suddenly raised his hand, signaling the young man to be quiet.

Amid the sound of rushing water, two speedboats approached silently.

The middle-aged man looked back and saw two more ships behind him...

"I am a friend of your boss. Tell him quickly that the boss's men are here." The middle-aged man said loudly to the people on the speedboat.

Before he could finish his words, four speedboats came crashing in from different directions.

Amid the noises of bang, bang, bang, the two men lost their balance. The boatman and guards hurriedly supported them while grabbing their weapons.

On the four speedboats, warriors nailed four eight-foot boring rakes to the sides of the large ship, keeping it firmly under control.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm your boss's friend!" The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "We are the boss's people, you'll know once you tell him!"

"Get off the boat!" Twenty or thirty warriors on the speedboat raised their two-foot-long javelins.

Bows, crossbows and firearms were greatly affected on rainy days, only the most primitive javelin still worked well.

Although the side of the large ship was higher than the sail of the speedboat, it could neither move nor board the ship, so the guards on the ship were useless.

This was exactly the dilemma that Wu Ji’s grain ship had encountered before. If they did not surrender, they would be slaughtered.

Rich people cherish their lives, and the richer they are, the more afraid they are of death.

Middle-aged and young people naturally made wise choices as well.

They ordered their men to lay down their weapons, raise their hands, and walk onto a shaky plank that lay between the two boats.

In the past, one was tied up.

In the end, more than 20 people were tied up...

~~

Tonight, Dalei Island is very lively.

The five big leaders came out together, and the bandits, without any restraint, had complete freedom.

They had long been looking forward to the delicious wine and meat shipped down from Wu Ji's ship.

While the leaders were away, they all came out, ate and drank, played finger-guessing games and gambled, and had a great time!

Even the pirates guarding the grain ship gathered together to eat, drink and spend money in the upper cabin.

At three o'clock in the morning, the noise died down, replaced by snoring.

Just below them in the cabin, Wu Ji's sailors and men were already armed and ready.

Jiang Xueying stood in front of them and whispered to her subordinates in a childish but firm voice to mobilize them before the battle:

"www.00kxs.com Wu Ji is in the money and freight business. Our reputation is our life and death line!"

The sailors and the men nodded emphatically. Both businesses depend on persuading others to make a living.

Only when others trust you will they deposit money in your home and entrust you with the transportation of goods.

If no one is convinced, both businesses will be ruined immediately!

"We surrendered without a fight last time because we knew we were calculating the situation, but others would not think so. They would think we were cowards who were afraid of death."

"If we just wait for the pirates to release us, this shame will never be washed away! So we must do it ourselves and kill those pirates to defend the reputation of Wu Ji!"

Miss Jiang's speech was very skillful. Moreover, the same words coming from a girl were particularly provocative.

The guys immediately became full of fighting spirit and wanted to rush out to fight the bandits.

If they were not afraid of alerting the guards, they would surely have burst into earth-shaking roars at this moment.

"According to the rules, if you die in battle for Wuji, Wuji will support your parents and raise your wife and children. Miss will give you another 500 taels as compensation!"

The little maid added with a stern face.

When it comes to the ability to use money, Miss Jiang can be said to be Mr. Zhao's senior.

"If you are disabled, Wu Ji will support you for life, and the lady will also reward you with 500 taels of silver!"

"A reward of 100 taels of silver for killing a bandit!"

"Go ahead and clear your name with the blood of your enemies!" The little maid clenched her fists excitedly.

The guys nodded heavily, pushed open the secret compartment in the cabin, and filed onto the deck.

"Miss, am I right?" The little maid turned around and looked at her mistress.

"You're stealing the show, Xiaoyun." Miss Jiang rolled her eyes at her. The last sentence should have been said by me.

~~

By this time, Zhao Hao's two scouts had already searched the entire island and had a clear idea of ​​the number, weapons, and distribution of the bandits. They also found the place where Wu Ji's personnel were being held.

The two of them quietly dived into the water, ready to go back and report to the young master and wait for further instructions.

After all, the longer the delay, the more danger the hostages would be in.

Thinking of this, the two scouts slowly sank their heads into the water.

Unexpectedly, just when they were about to close their eyes, they were all suddenly stunned.

On the grain ship holding the hostages, the guards fell one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the guards on the ship were killed.

The two scouts looked at each other and saw admiration in each other's eyes.

It's great that he seized the opportunity and took decisive action to save himself!

"It's time to escape..." Scout A whispered.

"Yes, as soon as they leave, our people can charge in." Scout B nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, after the Wu Ji people took control of the grain ship, they had no intention of sailing away immediately, but instead aimed their guns at the dock.

In order to be able to fire in the rain, they not only held up umbrellas, but also used torches to poke at the fire door...

"This is artillery firing..." The two scouts' mouths twitched.

Before he could finish his words, he heard a burst of gunfire, and half of the pirates standing guard at the dock fell down immediately.

The rest of the people looked around in horror, and only after they saw that it was the hostages on the grain ship who were causing trouble did they remember to quickly ring the gong!

"Hurry up, the hostages are coming out!" The pirates hid everywhere and shouted desperately.

Looking at the Wu Ji guys who had been holding back for three days, they raised their Japanese swords and long knives, jumped from the grain ship onto the dock, and slashed at the pirates.

"There is no tactics or strategy, just rushing in and it's over?" The two former Qi family army scouts were shocked by the chaotic scene.

"Cough cough!" Both of them choked on the water.

Only then did they suddenly remember their mission, and they both quickly took out a bamboo tube from their trousers.

After unscrewing the wax seal, one person took out a firework and the other took out a fire starter and blew it.

An orange glow appeared, lighting the fuse of the fireworks.

With a whoosh, the fireworks shot up into the sky.
