Chapter 477 The Flood Flooded the Dragon King Temple
But as the saying goes, "too much joy leads to sorrow", they landed on the island one after another after peace returned to the island. They wanted to return after recuperating, but due to a momentary negligence, they did not handle the potion on the boat properly, and the red-scaled crocodile bit their boat to pieces.
The red-scaled crocodile is indeed the cause of both success and failure.
They were trapped on the island.
Right now, they are sending people to repair the ship, but the ship is severely damaged and it will take some time to repair it.
This place is far away from the inland sea, and they still have to transport a lot of goods back, so the ship cannot be repaired carelessly.
Xiao Yanci ordered his men to change into the Blood Shark Gang's attire and "patrol the island" as usual every day. They even deliberately robbed a few passing boats to maintain the illusion that "the pirates are still there."
But the Black Tiger Gang had obviously noticed something was wrong, so they sent ships to test the waters one after another.
At this moment, a personal guard hurried in with an anxious look on his face.
"Prince, this is bad. I just got some new information from a pirate. The Blood Shark Gang and the Black Tiger Gang have already agreed to discuss a big deal! The agreed time is three days from now. The Black Tiger Gang has been making frequent attempts to probe me lately. I'm afraid it's because of this matter."
This news made Xiao Yanci sit up straight, and his brows were twisted into knots.
He Yun: "We haven't responded in this period of time. I'm afraid the Black Tiger Gang will become even more suspicious."
Xiao Yanci immediately went to find Gu Qishan.
Gu Qishan was lying on the bed massaging his legs. When he saw Xiao Yanci, he immediately stopped and stood up to salute.
Xiao Yanci quickly helped him back, "General Gu, there's no need for all this formality. But your legs are hurting again?"
Gu Qishan sat down, a look of shame on his face.
"I'm really old. I can't stand living on this island for more than ten days."
He had been fighting for many years and had many old illnesses.
The island was very humid, and his knees would ache unbearably every night. However, there was no medicine on the island, so he could only endure it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yanci showed a bit of pity on his face.
It seems that they can't stay here any longer.
Xiao Yanci told Gu Qishan the latest news he had obtained, and Gu Qishan also looked solemn.
"It seems that this war is inevitable."
Xiao Yanci narrowed his eyes and told his plan, "Instead of passively waiting, it's better to take the initiative, hijack the other party's ship, and by the way, take down their lair as well."
He's had enough of this shabby place.
Xiao Yanci and Gu Qishan met and discussed for a while, and didn't go to bed until the late night.
The island has increased its vigilance and is waiting for the other party to arrive at any time.
Unexpectedly, the next day, just as the sky was getting light, the guards on guard came hurriedly to report.
"Prince, I have discovered a large fleet of ships, and they appear to be coming with great force!"
Xiao Yanci immediately went up to the guard post and looked out.
The island was shrouded in fog and visibility was extremely low, but they found a new gadget among the goods looted by the pirates, a telescope. With this, they could see things several kilometers away.
The other party was quite alert and stayed far away, not moving forward. Through the telescope, one could only see the figures of people coming and going on the boat, but the rest was not clear.
If they didn't have this telescope, they wouldn't be able to detect each other's existence at all.
"Prince, the enemy appears to have a large number of people! Moreover, they are hiding their heads and showing their tails. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives and want to take advantage of our unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack."
Xiao Yanci put down the telescope, his eyes turning a little colder.
"If they dare to come, I will make sure they never return! Pass the order and prepare to fight."
The guards in the watchtower kept a close eye on what was happening over there, not daring to relax for a moment.
At nightfall, the ships finally started to move.
As expected, they were quietly approaching the island. Seeing this, the guards on the watchtower immediately became alert and hurried to report to Xiao Yanci.
"Prince, those ships are moving. They've split into two groups and are approaching from the east and west. They're probably going to land from either side and attack us from both sides!"
Everyone had already sharpened their knives, and upon hearing this, they all showed murderous looks.
"The knife in my hand is almost rusting. These bastards came at the perfect time."
"Draw your sword and do it!"
Xiao Yanci looked at everyone's high morale and gave them some advice.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't force yourself against tough opponents. Self-preservation is the most important thing."
They were able to easily capture Chijiao Island because they used risky tactics and were mostly opportunistic, but they could not take advantage of opportunities every time.
If you underestimate the enemy from the beginning, you may suffer a great loss.
After hearing Xiao Yanci's admonition, everyone was immediately startled and dared not to be careless anymore.
The other party thought they were sneaking up on the shore quietly, and then slowly moved towards the house where the pirates lived.
While they are sleeping, give them a good beating.
However, when he pushed open the door, he was met with a large knife shining with a cold light.
A loud shout tore through the silence of the night, "Oh no, it's a trick!"
In an instant, the people hiding in the dark appeared and fought with the unknown invaders.
They left no room for either side and fought fiercely, with fighting and screams rang out one after another.
He Yun was stabbed on the hand. He endured the pain and cursed, "You damn pirates, you dare to hurt your Grandpa He, give me your life!"
The person opposite him paused obviously when he heard the words. In a moment of hesitation, He Yun's big knife came towards him with such a mighty momentum that it seemed as if he was going to chop the person opposite him into pieces.
The person opposite hurriedly raised his knife to block, and the blade flashed with cold light, hitting He Yun's face.
"He Yun, it's me!"
When He Yun heard this, the murderous aura around him suddenly disappeared, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Xue Hongxuan! Why is it you?"
He put away the knife, and Xue Hongxuan immediately lost all his strength.
"We heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been lured to Red Reef Island, so we rushed here to rescue you. Why are you wearing pirate clothes?"
These words woke He Yun up from his dream. He didn't bother to explain and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, stop fighting. We are all family, family!"
On the other side, Xiao Yanci also noticed something was wrong.
When he was fighting with several people, he found that their moves seemed to have their own rules and some familiarity, which was completely different from the pirates' fighting style.
He Yun's shout made everyone stop. Someone lit a torch, and then they could see clearly that these "water ghosts" were wearing naval uniforms.
Many sailors also recognized familiar faces among this group of "pirates".
They are like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family members don’t recognize each other anymore!
When Chen Cang and others saw Xiao Yanci, who was also dressed as a pirate, they finally understood what was going on and their worries were completely put at ease.
Chen Cang took the lead and knelt down. "I was so stupid that I didn't recognize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I almost caused a disaster. I deserve to die!"
Xiao Yanci didn't expect things to be so dramatic.
"Master Chen, please stand up. Your mistake was unintentional, so I cannot blame you. The most urgent task is to bandage and treat the wounded."
Chen Cang quickly responded.
