Chapter 970 Ready to go

By afternoon, Chen Liangqiu ordered the ship to turn southeast, in order to bypass the most frequent sea areas where pirates were infested.

This time, Chen Liangqiu brought three ships to sail, and the number of people was only a hundred. If the pirates really knew the location, it was hard to guarantee that the pirates would not take the opportunity to surround and kill them. After all, the Black Tiger Shark was already blatantly with the East China Sea Navy. In order to steal the heads, those who had killed the East China Sea Navy naturally would not care about making enemies with the East China Sea Navy again.

Although the two spies were convinced and there was indeed enough reason to convince them to surrender, no one could be sure whether the information they brought by the two was really true until they caught the Black Tiger Shark.

If this is a trap set by the black tiger shark, it is to lure the people of the East China Sea Navy to fall into the trap, then the situation of the three ships will be very dangerous.

Fortunately, the ships did not encounter a pirate ship, nor did they encounter pirates. After all, Chen Liangqiu and others have been in the East China Sea for more than ten years. Although it is very difficult to encircle and suppress a pirate of black tiger sharks, it is not difficult to make it impossible for the pirates to discover it.

I encountered several islands along the way, all of which were deserted islands without a trace. The island was even green and green. If it weren't for the important things to be done, Qi Ning even wanted to visit the island.

However, the emergence of several islands and reefs is very helpful to the route. These islands and reefs are marked on the sea chart. Using these islands and reefs as markers can also determine the location of the unknown island.

The people on the boat changed into two shifts and took turns to change their guards. By the afternoon of the next day, they were getting closer and closer to the Unknown Island, and the route had already bypassed, successfully crossing the area where pirates were active and entering the distant sea area.

Qi Ning thought that the place chosen by the Black Tiger Shark was actually really impeccable in theory. Not only was it an inconspicuous desert island, but there was also a pirate activity area in the middle as a barrier. If there was a layer of defense, if there was no spy leaking his whereabouts, the East China Sea Navy would really not have found his whereabouts.

"Marty, in two more hours, you should be able to reach the Unknown Island." Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Liangqiu said to Qi Ning: "Since he has few people, he should not send spies near the Unknown Island. However, if there is a high point on the island and the Black Tiger Shark sends people to keep an eye on the waters near the Unknown Island, then once we get close, we may be discovered."

"It makes sense." Qi Ning nodded and said, "We can stop for the time being and get closer to the past after dark. At night, their vision is not good. Even if there is a high point, they cannot see the distance. Moreover, their spirits will inevitably be relaxed at night, and it is even more difficult to be discovered when they get close."

Chen Liangqiu smiled and said, "The Marquis's idea coincides with the humble general. The humble general's meaning is to let everyone rest for two hours first, eat and drink enough, and accumulate energy. When we secretly go to the island to kill them in the evening."

When Shen Liangqiu ordered the ship to stop, he also told everyone to drink water and eat dry food, and even take a nap.

Seeing the main ship stop, Tang Hui and his two men's boats stopped immediately, and sent orders to the other side, and everyone rested to replenish their energy.

"Mr. Marquis, this island doesn't look big. The general has thought of the plan of action and asks the marquis to consider it." Chen Liangqiu and Qi Ning had eaten, and then came over with a sketch. On it, a sketch that looked like a small island was drawn casually, spread on the table, and pointed at it: "The black tiger shark must have come by a boat. There are only four people and there are not many people, so the boat will not be big. If you want to cut off their retreat, you must first destroy their boat."

"Not bad." Qi Ning said: "The boat may be parked on the shore, but if you are afraid of being discovered just in case, the black tiger shark may hide the boat on the island, but it will not hide it too deep."

"So when we approach the island tonight, General Wu will send a few people to dive to the island, let them find the ship and control it." Chen Liangqiu whispered: "Then we will divide our troops into four groups and land on the island at the same time from four directions of the unknown island. General Wu and Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo will lead one by one. Commander Wu under the Marquis can also lead a group of people. To avoid damage, Commander Wu's team can just hold the position and do not have to fight with them. Once the other three groups of people are killed, the Black Tiger Shark will find the situation and seek escape from the direction of Commander Wu's guards. It can be captured in one fell swoop."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "General Shen's plan is very careful. The black tiger shark will never escape unless it has the ability to go to heaven and earth. In fact, if we find their ship, we don't have to move the ship and just send a few people to hide near the ship. Even if the black tiger shark escapes from you, he will leave the nameless island. Without the ship, he will definitely not be able to find the ship first, and then he will fall into the trap."

Chen Liangqiu nodded and said, "The Marquis' plan is even more secure. The humble general will leave ten people to guard the boat, just wait for him to appear and arrest him immediately."

Qi Ning knew that this was just a precaution. After all, there were so many hundred people coming this time. Although Wu Dalin and his guards were all ten, the brave and good at fighting elites selected from the navy were all brave and good at fighting. They were besieged from all sides. There were only four people from the Black Tiger Shark, and one of them was a doctor. No matter what, it was impossible for them to withstand the siege of so many people. The possibility of getting out and looking for a boat was slim.

"General Chen's plan is very meticulous, just implement it according to your plan." Qi Ning said with a smile.

Chen Liangqiu bowed and said, "Then the humble general will assign tasks now."

"General Chen, I said that you have full command of this operation. Once you succeed, it will be your credit." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I hope that this success will not only be able to offer sacrifices to the Grand Commander, but also to severely defeat the East China Sea pirates."

"The humble general dares not." Chen Liangqiu immediately said: "If you can succeed, it will be a blessing from the marquis. The marquis is the real person who has made great contributions."

Qi Ning laughed and said, "You are a soldier, so don't say these unrestrained words. At that time, I will pay more respect to me at the celebration banquet. Only when you have made great contributions can I recommend you to the court as the Grand Governor and use the most suitable person to command the navy. This is beneficial to the court. I will not compete for you for the merits, not because of you, but for the court's plan!"

Chen Liangqiu was solemn and said respectfully: "The Marquis is selfless, and the humble general admires it!" He bowed deeply and said solemnly: "The humble general will never let down the Marquis's high expectations!"

Qi Ning smiled slightly, thought of something, and asked, "General Chen, are you planning to capture the black tiger shark alive or what?"

"Marty, the Black Tiger Shark is the most powerful bandit leader among the East China Sea pirates. If he can capture him alive, he can ask him where the pirates hide." Chen Liangqiu said: "This time, we can really solve the problem of East China Sea pirates once and for all." Then he frowned and said: "It's just that Bei Zhi is worried that it is not that easy to catch the Black Tiger Shark alive."

Qi Ning sighed: "Actually, I am the same as you think. The Black Tiger Shark has the ability to gather a few pirates together, but he is still a little stubborn. He dares to be an enemy of the East China Sea Navy. This person can be regarded as a sea hero. Such a person is naturally unwilling to be captured by the water teacher. If he is forced to a dead end!" He said nothing.

Chen Liangqiu naturally knew what Qi Ning meant and said solemnly: "Bi will try his best to capture him alive. If there is really no way, he can only take someone else's head and go back to pay tribute to the Grand Governor."

Qi Ning just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

All three ships were parked on the sea, resting their energy and waiting for the night to come. Once they waited, time seemed to pass very slowly. After finally getting dark, Chen Liangqiu immediately ordered the three ships to head towards the location of the Unknown Island at the same time.

Although there is a moon in the sky, the distance that can be seen is not far. Chen Liangqiu always stares at the sailors on the watchtower, waiting for him to convey the message.

Although the Clippers were not big, they also had a small lookout. They had always arranged a sailor with excellent eyesight to see the movements of the nearby sea. Suddenly, the sailors on the lookout made gestures. When they found the target, Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu immediately reached the bow of the ship. Sure enough, in just a short moment, Qi Ning found a gray shadow on the sea in front of them with his extraordinary eyesight, just like an ancient sea beast crawling on the sea.

Although Chen Liangqiu was not as good as Qi Ning's eyesight because of his internal strength, he soon discovered the target. He gave a hint of excitement between his eyebrows and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, this island seems to be correct."

Qi Ning nodded. It was already late at night. Since Chen Liangqiu discovered the target, he did not allow the three ships to continue approaching. He ordered all three ships to stop and sent six sailors who had already arranged to dive to the island first to find the black tiger shark.

These sailors are trained in the water all year round, and these six are the best among sailors. After they got into the water, the three ships held their breath and waited for them to send back the news.

Although we saw the shadow of the unknown island, it was actually a little far away. After waiting for more than an hour, two sailors finally came back. The companions pulled them onto the boat. One sailor immediately reported: "Marquis, General, after we landed on the island, we did not see anyone, but a boat was found in the Yidu Cave near the shore."

"How many people can that boat accommodate?"

"At most six people!" said the sailor: "The boat was hidden in the cave, and there was a large stone blocking outside, but it was not hidden deep, so we could easily find it."

Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu looked at each other without saying anything, both of them understood in their hearts.

Since there are indeed ships on the island and hidden in caves, it proves that there are indeed people on the island, and it is almost certain that it is the black tiger shark. The purpose of the black tiger shark hiding the boat is not to hide the boats tightly, but to ensure that there is no accident. If other ships appear near the Unknown Island but cannot see the boats on the shore, naturally I would not think of someone on the island.

Moreover, it is far from the coast, and the Unknown Island is another isolated island. It is rare for ships to appear nearby, so it is not necessary to hide the ship too deep.

"Mr. Marquis!" Chen Liangqiu turned around and looked at Qi Ning, arched his hands. Qi Ning knew Chen Liangqiu's meaning and nodded slightly: "You can act as planned!"—
