Chapter 409 I Can’t Leave
Under the cover of night, she quietly boarded the boat.
After walking around the boat, she raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of disbelief. The boat was actually full of silver bars, and they all looked new, as if they had just been shipped out of the warehouse.
For a moment, she became suspicious of the origin of the ship.
How could a pirate ship have so many silver bars? Why would they go to the island to rob if they had silver bars?
Ye Mingzhu thought about it on the deck, but couldn't figure it out. However, that didn't stop her from collecting all the silver bars.
It was strange to see so many newly-forged silver bars appearing on an unmanned ship. She collected the silver bars first. If they didn't belong to the thieves, she would find a way to return them to them.
She walked around the entire ship and found some strange tools, some of which were similar to those used by miners on the gold mining island. She looked at the dark forest on the island and had a bold idea. Could this island be a silver mine?
Then she felt incredible.
It's rare to find gold mines in the sea nearby, and discovering silver mines requires incredible luck.
But if it weren't for the silver mine on this small island, how do we explain those newly-forged silver bars and tools on the ship?
After thinking about it for a while and still unable to figure it out, Ye Mingzhu prepared to get off the boat and explore the island.
Soon, she noticed something unusual, as if someone was pushing the boat, so she quickly moved to a cabin.
Soon, she noticed that the boat was moving and someone was indeed driving it.
She wasn't sure how many people were on the boat, so she moved out little by little.
She stood on tiptoe to prevent herself from making any sound, and slowly stopped outside the cab, listening intently.
There was a sound of a man cursing in the cab, and he seemed to be saying something that would affect the plan.
She tried to listen for a while, but the other party stopped talking and the ship was moving faster.
Ye Mingzhu carefully left the cab and tried to identify the direction for a while, and found that the ship was heading towards the gold mining island.
She confirmed that this was a pirate ship, so there was no need to be polite.
She had found the rope at the stern long ago, and she quietly climbed down the boat using the rope at the stern.
The man in the cockpit listened carefully. He seemed to hear the sound of something heavy hitting the sea. He stopped, walked around the entire ship, found nothing wrong, and returned to drive the boat.
He was sent back to drive the boat and didn't have much time to waste.
Ye Mingzhu has started looking for a breakthrough point under the boat. Her purpose is simple, to sink the boat, but she didn't bring any suitable tools.
She grinned, released the sea monster, pointed at the boat, and hit it.
The sea monster rubbed against her, and after she demonstrated it a few times, the sea monster understood and rushed directly towards the boat.
The whole ship began to shake violently, and Ye Mingzhu could clearly see a large crack on the bottom of the ship, with seawater pouring into the crack.
Ye Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction and stopped the sea monster from ramming the ship.
What's the point of sinking the boat directly? It would be interesting to wait until a group of people get on the boat and then find that the boat is about to sink.
Ye Mingzhu no longer cared about the ship. She patted the sea monster's head soothingly, watched it grin happily, and then put it back into the space.
She swam towards the gold mining island like a fish.
As soon as she emerged, she was spotted by Ye Lang who was guarding the shore. He stretched out his hand to her and said, "Mingzhu, I'll pull you up."
Ye Mingzhu heard the sounds of fighting all over the island, and she quickly asked what was happening on the island.
Ye Lang led Ye Mingzhu towards the island and quickly said, "Some thieves have come to the island, and Lord Jiang is trying to keep them alive."
Ye Mingzhu stopped and said, "Cousin, tell Jiang Hongyu not to confront those bandits head-on. Try to get them all to leave. Something has happened to their ship, and they won't be able to escape."
"What?" Ye Lang was increasingly confused by his cousin. "You mean there's something wrong with the pirates' ship?"
"Yes," Ye Mingzhu nodded confidently, "Yes, I saw cracks on the bottom of their boat. Even if we let them on board, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long."
Ye Lang pursed his lips. He couldn't believe how lucky they were.
Ye Mingzhu pushed him and said, "Cousin, go quickly."
Ye Lang came back to his senses, but was a little worried about Ye Mingzhu's safety. If there were thieves nearby, it would be too late for her to be here alone.
"How about this, cousin, I'll find a place to hide nearby. You go tell Jiang Hongyu the news first, and then come back to pick me up." Ye Mingzhu looked around. Although it was bright around here, it was not easy to get on the island, so there were no thieves.
Ye Lang was a little worried, but the news Ye Mingzhu said was too important, so he had to tell Jiang Hongyu quickly.
Without hesitating for too long, Ye Lang asked Ye Mingzhu to hide in a nearby stone cave and he left quickly.
Ye Mingzhu sat in the stone cave, feeling a little amused. This stone cave could only accommodate one person, and it could not be found from the outside. She didn't know how Ye Lang found it.
She had swum in the sea tonight and her clothes were still wet, so she took this opportunity to wring them out.
On the other side, Ye Lang fought off two thieves before telling Jiang Hongyu the news.
Jiang Hongyu didn't believe what Ye Lang said that the problem with the pirates' ship was discovered by Ye Mingzhu. He was more inclined to believe that the problem was caused by Ye Mingzhu.
He planned to go back and have a good talk with Ye Mingzhu. It was too dangerous to destroy the ship and they should never do that again. However, the most important thing right now was to make the thieves retreat without leaving any trace.
Fortunately, at this time, the pirates' ship had arrived nearby, and the pirates who were fighting with the soldiers on the island immediately began to retreat outside the island.
When some soldiers wanted to give chase, Jiang Hongyu stopped them loudly and told everyone to just guard the island.
Ye Lang also repeated Jiang Hongyu's words loudly.
Jiang Hongyu grabbed Ye Lang and said, "Go find Mingzhu, then drive out the largest ship on the island and we'll go to the sea to capture people."
Ye Lang looked around and saw that the thieves were swimming into the sea, and some were already approaching the big ship.
Jiang Hongyu frowned when he saw the big ship. This ship was bigger and better than theirs. He really didn't know how Ye Mingzhu could damage such a big ship.
Some soldiers had already gathered around Jiang Hongyu, asking him why he didn't chase the thieves.
Jiang Hongyu called out the names of seven or eight soldiers who rushed over, all of whom were good at swimming.
"I'll take you to catch someone."
The people who were called out looked at each other in confusion. The thief had already escaped. Even if they took a boat to catch him now, they might not be able to catch him.
Jiang Hongyu did not explain and led everyone onto the boat prepared by Ye Lang. Only then did everyone realize that Ye Mingzhu was also on the boat.
Their faces looked a little unhappy. Lord Jiang was going to chase the thieves, and he brought his wife with him. What did this mean?
Jiang Hongyu ignored them and asked Ye Mingzhu in a low voice: "How far do you think this ship can go?"
He believed in Ye Mingzhu, but he also had to be prepared in advance.
Ye Mingzhu roughly estimated the time, a smile flashed in her eyes: "I can't leave."
