The merchant ship finally set off. After leaving Mingzhou Port, the merchant ship raised its main sail and sailed towards the East China Sea at full speed. Zeng Yi had been a captain for a while and knew everything about direction and positioning. He quietly used the compass along the way.
By comparing it with the nautical chart, you can basically determine the route that the merchant ship took!
After traveling for a short time, the merchant ship entered the East China Sea. At this time, the merchant ship slowed down and began to turn. Zeng Yi made an estimate and silently recorded the right rudder of 30 degrees! The merchant ship speeded up again and moved forward for dozens of nautical miles.
Then he turned around again, Zeng Yi memorized all these points!
As we walked, people on the deck came to report that a fleet had been spotted ahead, and everyone became anxious. When encountering a fleet in a place like this, you don't need to think too much to know that it is most likely the navy of the imperial court. These pirates are anxious.
, Zeng Yi was also anxious. He was afraid that if this group of pirates showed their flaws and were destroyed, all the work he had done in the early stage to find the pirates' lair would be in vain!
However, Zeng Yi underestimated the acting skills of these people. They were probably pretending to be used to it, and there was no murderous intent in their acting. They looked like a caravan and the passing fleet. After a cursory inspection, they did not raise any suspicion, so he
Leaving! Seeing the fleet leaving, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, including Zeng Yi. Of course, he was lucky that the fleet had not discovered anything unusual about this merchant ship!
The subsequent voyage was much calmer, and no accidents occurred. It was only after noon that the speed of the merchant ship slowed down. After a while, the NPC disguised as the young master said to everyone: "Get ready, we are about to arrive!" Everyone arrived!
On the deck, Zeng Yi looked into the distance and saw a small island in front of him!
Zeng Yi was very excited in his heart!: "What the hell! I finally found it!" Although Zeng Yi was excited in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. He still looked taciturn. Now was not the time to be exposed. He planned to go there in person.
Take a look at the island to make sure it is really their lair. If it is confirmed, Zeng Yi would like to explore the pirates’ defense measures again!
Soon the merchant ship arrived at the shore. There was a large cottage on the shore. There was a small port not far from the cottage. There were many ships parked inside. Zeng Yi even saw two medium-sized warships of the imperial court standard! He couldn't bear it.
They kept muttering: "These guys are so brave! They are robbing the Navy!" After the merchant ship stopped at the pier, someone walked out of the cottage, and a dozen people came to the shore.
! Everyone got off the boat, and the fake young master said respectfully to one person: "Master, we are here to bring the goods!"
Zeng Yi, who was pretending to be cowardly at the back, looked at the two of them and already confirmed in his heart that the big boss was the boss! The big boss smiled slightly and said to the "young master": "Don't worry, brothers are tired after running all day. Third boss, you go first
Take the brothers to rest, it’s getting dark soon, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
Everyone entered the stronghold, rested for a while, and then was taken to the stronghold hall for the banquet! There were quite a few people sitting in the hall, four to five hundred people. It is estimated that in addition to the NPCs who needed to be guarded, all the pirates were
Here we are! "There are about five hundred people. It seems that we should bring the guys from the Blood Guards with us. Otherwise, there are five hundred pigs. Even the four of me can't deal with them!"
At the banquet, everyone had a good meal. After the banquet, Zeng Yi returned to the house arranged for him! He was about to change his clothes and go out for a look! At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
, Zeng Yi immediately put away his night clothes, opened the door, and a man in his thirties walked in. He glanced at Zeng Yi and said, "The boss wants to see you, come with me!"
Let's go! Zeng Yi suddenly became anxious, and without thinking much, he made a move from behind and touched the man's anus. Then he looked at the door and saw that no one was there, so he quickly closed the door.
Looking at the pirate, Zeng Yi took out the Tianzi knife and placed it on his neck, ready to take his name at any time! Then he untied the man's mute, and the man's mouth could speak, but he couldn't.
Dare to shout loudly, after all, the knife is placed on the neck!
"You'd better be smart and answer whatever I ask! Otherwise, you have to figure out the consequences yourself!" Zeng Yi threatened with a sneer!
"How many people are there on the island?"
"Five, five to five hundred people!"
In addition to the pier in front, is there any other way to get to the island?
"There is a very shallow coast behind the island, which is more suitable for landing!"
Zeng Yi asked a lot of questions one after another. This guy asked and said whatever he wanted to save his reputation. Finally, Zeng Yi asked, is there anything the boss wants to see him for?"
The man had already noticed that Zeng Yi was not Wang Laowu. When he heard Zeng Yi ask about this, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the knife on his neck and said: "Wang Laowu is a person sent by the big boss. The purpose is
He was asked to monitor the Third Leader!"
"As expected! I mean, how could these pirates hand over the robbed goods to that person so easily? It turns out that spies were sent out long ago!"
Zeng Yi, who had originally planned to commit suicide and return to the capital, listened to what he said and was not ready to go back. He planned to go see the big boss before talking about it. He asked about the big boss’s room, and Zeng Yi walked over! When he came outside the big boss’s room,
He knocked on the door gently a few times and said, "I am the one in charge!"
"Come in!" Zeng Yi pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw the boss again, Zeng Yi cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the boss before!"
The guy didn't even look at Zeng Yi and said, "How are you doing recently? Is the third boss okay? Is there any problem?"
Zeng Yi pretended to be hesitant and hesitantly said, "Yeah, maybe there's no problem!"
"Really?" the boss scolded.
Zeng Yi pretended again and said: "I don't have any evidence about the big boss, so I can't be sure! The third boss seems to have a different idea. He usually deducts a little money when selling goods, and he actively develops his own power. Now he is following
All his people were bribed by him. Only one Zhao Si'er was not bribed, but before he was taken away, he was killed inexplicably!"
After listening to Zeng Yi's words, the boss fell silent for a while and muttered for a while: "It seems that you are determined to give up! I should have killed you and the old man together..."
"Holy crap! Is there any other hidden story here?" Zeng Yi heard what the eldest master said and immediately realized that there seemed to be some dispute between the eldest master and the third master who was pretending to be a businessman!
After the first master finished speaking, he pondered for a while, then remembered that Zeng Yi was beside him, and said to Zeng Yi: "That's enough, you can go down and pay more attention to the third master's information, so as not to be discovered!" (To be continued.)
