Chapter 133 [Robbery! ]
The twelfth pirate lost his balance due to the pull of the falling people, and the deck was slippery, so he was caught off guard and fell to the underground floor. He found in a daze that there were several people lying on the floor in a mess.
On the deck, the third in command, Rong Yi, called his brothers together.
The third in command was different from the other pirates who were dressed casually. He had a fair face, his hair was neatly combed, and he held a feather fan in his hand. He looked a bit like the military advisor of this group of people.
Seeing the sparse number of people coming up and standing in a crooked manner, Rong Yi frowned: "Where are the people? Why are there so many fewer people?"
Remembering the strange smell in the cabin just now, he exclaimed: "It's bad!"
"Call the ship's doctor! The remaining people are probably fainted in the cabin!"
Rong Yi glanced at the faces of these people, but did not see the ship's doctor.
Someone replied weakly, "Third Master, the ship's doctor is also in the cabin."
faint!
A pirate asked, "Third boss, should we rob first or rescue people first?"
Rong Yi was overwhelmed: "Of course we have to save people first! How can we fight if half of our people are gone!"
Although these pirates are all ruthless and may not be smart, they are very agile. However, now their manpower is almost half gone, and Rong Yi is not completely confident.
He thought for a moment about how to get the people down there out safely.
Rong Yi ordered his younger brothers, "Go get a rope, tie it around one of the men's waists, and lower him down. Drag the man below up, and remember to wrap his mouth and nose with a cloth."
"Every time we rescue someone, the next person will be the rescuer, and we'll take turns!"
After giving the order, he turned around and sent someone to inform the pirates who were controlling the direction and speed of the ship: "Sailors, adjust the sails and reduce the speed of the ship. Don't act rashly!"
After receiving the order from the third in command, the sailors used ropes to secure part of the sail, reducing the area of the sail exposed to the wind and slowing down the pirate ship's forward speed.
Meanwhile, Wen Qiao saw through his telescope that the enemy ship had slowed down, and the pirates on the deck were tying ropes to pull people aboard. He relayed this news to Jiang Lili: "Lili, your plan worked! They're completely overwhelmed trying to rescue people."
Jiang Lili happily opened the cans for the two eagles and said, "Well done! I'll give you a snack today!"
[@Wen Qiao: There are only twelve people left on deck besides the captain, and many of them are focused on rescuing those below deck. We have a chance to strike first!]
Wen Qiao and Jiang Lili discussed that since they had the powerful combat force of the three members of the Xin family, and almost half of the other side were poisoned, it would be better to directly exchange the initiative.
The two decided to rob the pirate ship!
Jiang Lili was originally worried about the transportation problem after arriving in Haizhou.
Asking Xiaopang to teleport a ship directly here would not only cost a huge amount of money but also be difficult to maintain, not to mention that modern ships would be too conspicuous here and would need to be modified.
In ancient times, purchasing a ship would cost hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, and it would not arrive quickly, so you had to wait.
The appearance of this stylish three-masted sailing ship made Jiang Lili's eyes light up.
This ship has a fast sailing speed, can carry cargo, and has weapons equipment. Isn't it a ready-made delivery ship?
If you don’t take action now, when will you take action?
Jiang Lili's heart is filled with emotion, sending warmth from thousands of miles away!
Although it seems that the delivery of this ship is delayed at the moment, she has already sent someone to pick it up!
The pirates slowed down their approach. Wen Qiao discussed with the Xin family father and son and asked the boatman to lower the boat's sailboat.
A zouge is a small boat with an extremely fast sailing speed, which is very convenient for sneak attacks. Ancient naval forces often used this type of boat to transmit intelligence, disrupt the enemy, and also for retreat.
Xin Cheng saw a small naval vessel being lowered onto the sea and exclaimed in surprise, "This merchant ship actually has a naval vessel! Whoever prepared this was truly foresighted."
As he spoke, he checked whether the boat was in a condition suitable for use.
Wen Qiao explained, "My father bought this dinghy at a high price as a lifeboat, but it was never used and many people laughed at it for being unnecessary."
Xin Cheng, carrying the Dragon Claw Bow, called everyone aboard, "This dinghy will be of great use today. Your father will surely be pleased to know this."
He jumped onto the boat and began to adjust its direction.
Xin Che, holding a scimitar, repeatedly warned Marquis Zhaoping before boarding the boat: "Father, you must be extremely careful while you stay here and take good care of everyone!"
Marquis Zhaoping waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, alright, you still don't trust me, your father? I was the one who taught you martial arts!"
Why did his eldest son become so talkative at this time? "I don't usually see you being so long-winded. I'm getting calluses from your words!"
Everyone boarded the boat, and under Xin Cheng's control, the boat approached the hesitating three-masted sailboat on the sea at the fastest speed.
Instead, Marquis Zhaoping, who stayed behind, was holding a bamboo pole, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, guarding the goods on the island in the wind and rain. One man and one island, his back was lonely, and he looked like an old widower in his twilight years, unable to even lift a finger.
Wen Qiao, Xin Cheng, and Xin Che took two skilled boatmen on a small boat to chase the pirate ship. In just a quarter of an hour, they approached the pirate ship.
The captain, who usually climbed on the mast of the pirate ship to observe the situation in the surrounding waters, discovered that a small boat was approaching in the wind and rain like a sharp blade, and he immediately reported it to the third in command.
This simply added fuel to the fire. Third-in-command Rong Yi, though anxious, remained calm. He summoned the best archer from among the pirates currently rescuing the ship's hold and said, "Send two people to shoot them with bows and arrows!"
The pirate with the best archery skills quickly came to the side of the ship with his bow and arrow. He was very confident in his archery skills.
Facing the swaying and rapidly moving boat on the sea, the archer draws the bow, aims, and shoots arrows with extremely accurate prediction!
The sharp arrows cut through the rain curtain and shot accurately towards Wen Qiao and others on the boat. It was not difficult to see that this person's archery skills were extremely superb!
The archer shot the arrow and watched coldly, but the imagined scene of the boatman at the helm being shot in the head by his own arrow and the boat losing control did not appear.
On the boat, the man behind the boatman swung out a scimitar and cut off his own arrow in that instant!
The shooter was shocked when he saw this scene.
He made an accurate prediction and the arrow he shot was actually intercepted accurately by the man. His speed and observation ability were so terrifying. He must have met a strong enemy.
The archer calmed down and fired another arrow in despair. It was clean and fast, but it was still split in half!
