The crescent moon like a hook is submerged in the clouds. Without the source of light, the sea surface becomes darker. The waves that originally seemed to be embedded in white lines on the edge became a combination of black and deeper black. Without light, the sound of the waves seemed to have become more secluded.

Yue Lian sat cross-legged on the edge of the podium, gently stroked the pair of scimitars placed on her knees with both hands. Feeling the ups and downs of the ship, listening to the sound of the waves slapping the ship, breathing a mixed smell of air. Yue Lian finally yawned comfortably and then felt refreshed.

Hanging his swords around his waist, Yue Lian walked around the deck. The distance visible on the surrounding sea was very low. Even after exhausting his eyes, Yue Lian could not see any abnormality. Holding the railing, Yue Lian yawned again. This time she felt a little sleepy. But Yue Lian shook her head and tried her best to drive away her sleepiness. She was arranged to watch tonight. Judging from the amount of incense she had replaced, it was only midnight. Thinking of the bastards who were sleeping heavily in the cabin, she felt unhappy and felt a little energetic.

When he arrived in Quanzhou during the day, he learned that Qi Ye’s perfume shop was burned. Yue Lian felt that something was wrong. She suggested that she return immediately and tell Zhao Jiaren the news as soon as possible. However, these useless men actually made an extremely magical suggestion, which was to sue the official. Yue Lian almost wanted to faint after hearing this. It was said that there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals. Zhao Jiaren, such a smart and capable person, knew that using official means to deal with the Pu family was unwise. On the contrary, Zhao Jiaren's subordinates felt that suing the official was useful.

Fortunately, Qi Ye was very reasonable. He firmly asked the ship to leave Quanzhou, which was to let these guys sail. The next discussion soon blew Yue Lian. These stupid guys thought that Zhao Jiaren predicted the attack was likely to occur, so they stopped near Quanzhou Port instead of driving to the farther coast first. The group of people thought that when this day was tomorrow, they could attract pirate ships to follow them and wait for their labor.

Yue Lian couldn't help it. She often rarely spoke and told these people straightforwardly that the Pu family was a pirate or a big pirate at the top of the pirate system with Quanzhou as the core. The best way now is to drive to a farther place first and wait for it to come back tomorrow. Stay here, and the one waiting for it is probably the Pu family's fleet.

Just as he couldn't help but recall what happened during the day, Yue Lian heard someone shouting in a sleepy voice in front of the stairs from the cabin to the deck: "Who put out the torch?" This voice reminded Yue Lian of the face of the voice master. It was Chen Chou, the squad leader of Class 7, a very young guy with very good academic results. And the self-righteous personality that Yue Lian thought was very annoying.

"I'll kill it!" Yue Lian walked to the entrance of the passage and reminded coldly.

Chen Chou staggered onto the deck with his footsteps and said dissatisfiedly: "If you die, you can't see the way clearly. Click now."

"Our ship will be seen at the click." Yue Lian reminded.

Chen Chou wanted to say something, but went straight to the toilet on the bow of the boat. After solving his personal problems, he pulled the rope of the flush toilet and flushed it. After finishing, he walked back to the deck. Chen Chou said to other night sailors outside Yue Lian: "Light the torch."

"I will be seen at sea." Yue Lian quickly persuaded him again.

"The torch is not facing the window, so how could you tell you so much? You can see the light of the torch dozens of miles away?" It was obvious that Chen Chou had already woken up a little.

Yue Lian cared about it, but she couldn't really make sure. She could only use other reasons, "When she often walked on the boat, how could she fall down if she often slandered?"

"There are many trainee sailors on our ship this time. This is a new ship. They can't slander them. If they break people, no one can bear it." Chen Cho talked about his opinion. In order to prove that his opinion was correct, Chen Cho found a reason, "I went to the north some time ago, and the war was injured as many as those who fell."

"I won't let the ignition." Yue Lian insisted on her opinion. Chen Chou did not participate in the operation to fight the Mongols north.

"You!" Chen Chou was speechless for a moment. After a moment, Chen Chou shouted to the sailor: "You light the torch and tie me up a hammock. I'll sleep on the deck and stay with you at night!"

Captain Chen Chou ordered this, and the sailors did not dare to hold on anymore. Not long after, the hammock on the deck was tied up and the torches were lit. Chen Chou wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep in the sea breeze on July night.

Time gradually passed, and as the fragrance changed, Yue Lian judged that at most another hour would light up. She suddenly felt that she might be overly worried. From her experience of pirates, no ship could compete with Zhao Jiaren's fleet during the day. It was so difficult to find a ship in the vast sea. If Yue Lian had not racked her brains with her father and others when she was a pirate, she would not have had so many thoughts.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the shift could be changed, and Yue Lian felt sleepy. She walked around the boat and woke the sleepy guys. They were in the middle of the night and had already slept in the first half of the night. Yue Lian herself had not been sleeping all night.

"Wake up! Wake up! Look carefully, you can sleep as you want in a while!" Yue Lian shouted to the bastards who looked at them without any warning. When they met those bastards who obviously didn't want to listen, Yue Lian had to slaughter them with a scabbard.

When he walked back to the back boat building, Yue Lian heard Chen Chong yawn and asked, "You really haven't slept all night."

"Hmph!" Yue Lian snorted but did not answer.

As the sound of getting off the hammock, Chen Chou yawned and walked to the deck beside Yue Lian, and he asked in a low voice: "Committee Hu, I heard that you used to beg for food at sea?"

Yue Lian knew that many students were very interested in her background. Chen Chou was already very polite in his speech. Of course, his intention to try to draw Yue Lian's words was also particularly obvious. This self-righteous bastard is the kind that Yue Lian hates the most.

Just as Yue Lian was thinking about how to make Chen Chou, the bastard, get out quickly, a fire suddenly lit up outside. A rocket was set in the air. Although the fire was weak, it was enough to illuminate the situation below in such a dark environment. Yue Lian could use the fire to see everything on the deck, including Chen Chou's face with a surprised expression.

Like a rabbit, Yue Lian rushed to the deck in three steps and took two steps to the alarm bell money. He grabbed the rope of the hanging clock hammer. The bell and Yue Lian's scream sounded at the same time, "Dangdang! Dangdang!" "There is an enemy! The enemy attack!"

It is not easy to enter a combat state from a confused state. Although the entire ship was alarmed, most people were unable to enter the state. However, the enemy who came to attack completely entered the state. Yue Lian found that the enemy might not fire the rockets, but fireballs. Looking at the trajectory, it might be fired into the air with a torsional crossbow.

In addition to these, the enemy was also firing other things on Yue Lian's ship. The ship's side was hit by several things. When someone finally rushed to the deck, several things flew to the deck and fell. Yue Lian was about to pull someone to take over her and continue to ring the alarm bell, but the direction of the enemy ship fleet firing the fireball changed, and the fireball came straight to the deck of the ship. Not long after, the fireball that landed on the deck actually ignited the flames.

Only then did Yue Lian realize that the enemy had just launched an oil tank. They knew how powerful Zhao Jiaren's ship was, so the enemy cleverly chose fire attack rather than melee combat. Before Yue Lian could observe the enemy, she stopped ringing the alarm and went straight to the anchor at the bow of the ship. At the same time, she shouted: "Cut off the rope, let's rush out!"

"Don't panic! Use sand to put out the fire!" The voice of the squad leader Chen Chou finally rang. After a moment, the loud voice of the propaganda committee member also shocked the entire ship, "Don't panic! Use sand to put out the fire!"

With command, the crew quickly restored some order. The sandbags on the deck were untied, and the sand inside was dumped in the fire position, extinguishing the fire in an instant.

Seeing that the fire was successfully put out, Chen Chou issued the second order, "The first team will open fire on the enemy. The second team will start an anchor!"

At this moment, the fireball thrown by the enemy hit the sail, and a few oil tanks broke on the sail. When the two touched, a light blue flame ignited on the sail. Yuelian frowned slightly. The color of the flame was so familiar. It is often seen in the workshop where perfume is extracted.

Captain Chen Chou seemed to have noticed the problem, and he shouted: "Loose sails! Use sand to put out the fire!"

Yue Lian felt that life was like years on the battlefield. I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the sound of cannons finally sounded on the ship. It was not the sound of a one-pound cannon, but the dull roar of a three-pound cannon in the shell cabin. Although I knew that the enemy was far from being solved at this time, Yue Lian immediately felt relieved and felt that she had finally had a backbone.

Dawn came faster than expected, and the sky was shining with its fingers. Although it would not bring light back to the world, it was enough to prove that the scale of victory was tilting towards Zhao Jiaren's fleet. The enemy probably had the same view, and they extinguished all the torches on their ship and began to retreat.

The sea was still dark, and the enemy had only been observed on the ship. Now they left the battlefield in the morning breeze. Yue Lian suddenly remembered the navigation course taught in the classroom before departure. It said that every morning, due to the temperature difference between land and sea, there is often morning breeze blowing inland. The enemy who can take advantage of this natural phenomenon is not a waste without navigation ability. Looking back at the ship, under the dim light at dawn, you can only see that the main sail and other things have fallen. Now even if you start sailing, you can't catch up with the enemy in a short time.

After another moment, the sky gradually became brighter. Yue Lian looked at him and saw that the enemy ship fleeing from the sea in the distance not only raised sails, but also used oars. Yue Lian completely lost the mood to pursue. Zhao Jiaren's ship was very good. He could sail as long as there was a trace of wind, and even when there was no wind, he could be pushed forward by the sea current. Therefore, the Zhao family's ship had no oars.
