Huo Xi watched Mu Yan slowly get off the ladder, her heart clenching tightly.
Li Yikan and others, who were the first to get off the ladder, were being stared at by the pirates and others, and boarded a nearby boat that had been emptied.
That's for everyone on board.
It was agreed before that the pirates wanted goods, or even a big ship, so they had to be allowed to leave, otherwise Mu Yan and others would set fire to the ship, and everyone would break up, and no one would be able to catch it.
In this way, as long as all the people on the big ship have disembarked, the pirates can board the big ship and take out the goods.
"Hurry up!" The person next to the pirate leader suddenly shouted.
It's slow and annoying.
They were all still waiting to get on the ship to move their things. Thinking about the cargo on the ship, they rubbed their hands together excitedly. This mother was getting off too slowly.
Only about twenty people were killed! The pirates were very dissatisfied.
Mu Yan had just stepped off the ladder and was supported by Li Yikan and Eryi. The three of them looked at each other.
The pirates were looking at the other people coming down the ladder, and no one saw the movements of the three of them.
Mu Yan moved, jumped up in an instant, and flew away towards the pirate leader Song Zhen.
"Do it!"
As Mu Yan's voice fell, Li Yikaner immediately moved and flew over. The other people on the ladder immediately climbed back to the big ship and quickly closed the ladder.
Before the pirates could react, Mu Yan had already rushed towards Song Zhen and choked him.
"You are cheating? Who are you!"
Song Zhen had already noticed that the person holding his throat was unusual. Can a merchant ship be equipped with such a guard? To protect the goods, he would risk his life?
Mu Yan didn't say much to him. While holding him to prevent him from jumping into the sea and escaping, he moved around and instantly knocked down several people who rushed to rescue him.
Li Yikan Er has also captured the two pirates who look like leaders next to Song Zhen.
Others also rushed towards the pirates.
"Fire the arrow!" Mu Yan ordered again.
When Tayue and others heard this, they immediately started shooting arrows and throwing fireballs from the boat.
In an instant, the bottom turned into a sea of fire.
Some pirates first wanted to jump over to save their boss. When they saw that Mu Yan and others were too powerful to fight, they saw that the ship was on fire and the ship began to leak. They didn't care about their boss and rushed into the water.
Jump.
"Use a firecracker!"
Mu Yan gave another order to Tayue and the others on the boat. They were not going to catch them alive anymore. They couldn't let these pirates jump into the sea and escape. Otherwise, it would be unfavorable for them to come to rescue them.
The sea immediately turned red.
Mu Yan then asked Li Yi and a team of men to go to the island first, making sure to cut off the pirates' escape route before they came to their senses.
Li Yi and the others used gunpowder to blow up and sink all the wooden ships at the dock where the pirates parked their ships, cutting off the pirates' escape route.
Later, together with Mu Yan and others who arrived, they repelled the pirates who were trying to escape, robbed the pirates' base camp, and wiped out all the pirates on the island.
"Who are you?"
The pirate leader who was kidnapped by Wu Hua Da asked Mu Yan. He didn't expect that he would be pecked by geese all the year round.
Do merchant ships now hire such powerful guards to guard against them?
Mu Yan didn't answer, just looked at him coldly.
Unwilling to let it end like this, Song Zhen said again: "As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give you a large sum of gold and silver. I also promise that as long as it is your ship, I will not take a second look at it.
Let us go and ensure your safety."
"Okay, there are so many of us, so you have to prepare a lot." Kan Er squatted in front of him.
Song Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wanted money.
The last thing he lacks is money. Anything that can be solved with money is nothing.
I didn't expect that I was careless today and fell into the opponent's hands all of a sudden. A temporary frustration is nothing, the future is long.
"I will give each of you a generous gift and send someone to take you ashore safely."
Mu Yan walked towards him slowly, stood in front of him, and looked at him coldly from above: "You can die hundreds of times, but you can't exchange the lives of so many of our brothers."
"You? Are you from the imperial court?" Song Zhen's eyes widened in shock.
Hundreds of thousands of naval forces sent by the imperial court have returned home in vain due to the great storm. Aren't they now busy rescuing victims and building tidal embankments? Are there still people at sea?
Mu Yan didn't intend to say much to him, and had already sent people to check everywhere.
After a while, boxes of gold and silver jewelry that had been carefully hidden by the pirates were carried into the hall by everyone.
Song Zhen saw that the property he had robbed for so many years was found, and his heart ached with pain, and he wished he could eat Mu Yan's flesh alive.
He was careless. He was not afraid of hundreds of thousands of troops, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of such people.
Gold, silver, jewelry, various goods, food, etc. were continuously carried out from the cave and piled up into a mountain. They could not fit in the hall and were placed in the open space outside.
It makes people dazzled and speechless.
Gee, no wonder they all want to be pirates. This little life of getting something for nothing is so comfortable.
In the hall, Li Yi and others were counting, and Mu Yan held Huo Xi's hand and walked on the beach of the island.
"This is estimated to be more than the imperial court's annual treasury income." Huo Xi was speechless.
"Otherwise, why do you think the emperor sent so many people to suppress the pirates?"
Huo Xi looked at him, "Is this the only reason?"
Mu Yan smiled, "Of course not."
With a serious look on his face: "Sea trade is now popular, and people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have abandoned their fields and cultivated mulberry. You can see how much profit there is. This group of lawless people has spawned. They not only harass the people along the coast, but also collude with the Japanese. They have become a
The emperor’s deepest concern.”
The emperor is jealous of evil and there is widespread resentment among the people. How can he bear it if he continues to question his ability and the integrity of his position?
"I see it was quite easy for you to subdue this group of pirates. Only a few of them were slightly injured. Why do you need to send so many navy to destroy them?" So many people died before.
Mu Yan smiled and pinched her nose, causing Huo Xi to glare at him dissatisfied.
He laughed and raised the corners of his mouth in a nice arc.
"When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is to underestimate the enemy. The reason why we are so relaxed is that they underestimate the enemy and treat us as ordinary merchant ships. Moreover, I did not expect that Song Zhen would leave the island and come to inspect the goods in person. Otherwise, I would not be able to catch him.
.If we can’t catch him, let him escape, or wait for him to organize people, it will not be so easy for us to catch them.”
"And don't underestimate them. You've also seen that a lot of things were shipped out of the warehouse, including weapons, gunpowder, and even firecrackers. This time it's just that we got a head start."
"Then how long do we have to stay here without fear of their people counterattack?"
"The people on the island were dead, injured, and the rest were captured alive by us. But this is their largest stronghold. Of course, there are more than just these pirates. We are short of manpower and it is not easy to fight. Statistics
Wan will leave early tomorrow morning."
Mu Yan also wanted to use Song Zhen to kill all the remaining people in one fell swoop, but they were short of manpower. If they were besieged by the enemy and trapped on the island, they would run out of ammunition and food.
"First push Song Zhen back and wait for the arrangements from the court."
The two were walking on the beach, watching Huo Xi take off her shoes and stepping on the beach with her white and tender feet, which made Mu Yan distraught.
"When I have time in the future, I will find a quiet island with you and spend some time on the island with you."
I don’t know why she likes to play on the beach so much. He stayed on the island for a month and didn’t want to stay on the island anymore.
However, as long as she likes it, he will accompany her. As long as she likes it, he will also like it.
