While we were talking nonsense with the blind old man, bursts of noise came from the street.
"Oh? Captain Chen, it seems you are going to be busy today," the blind old man said with a smile.
"Huh? How do you say..." Just when he was about to ask, a navy soldier rushed into the tavern and ran over with an anxious look on his face.
Only Chen Xiuzhu's subordinates were called "Captain Boss" in this way.
"Well, don't worry, don't worry, what happened?" He quickly comforted his men.
"Lieutenant Colonel Peter Tru sent someone to tell him that there is news."
With the "poof" sound, it was as if he had changed into a different person. Chen Xiuzhu, who just now looked like a boy next door, was now exuding a strong evil aura.
"Oh ho ho, Captain Chen, please calm down and don't get distracted." The blind old man looked at Chen Xiuzhu with a smile on his face.
"..." I don't know why, but Chen Xiuzhu got along well with this blind old man. Although the two of them always had inappropriate topics during their conversations, it didn't stop them from actually liking each other.
talk to each other
"Old man, I have something to deal with next time. How about chatting with me after the things are over?" After taking a deep breath to calm down, Chen Xiuzhu said to the blind old man with a smile.
"Well, no need. I plan to leave in the near future. I am traveling all over the world just to find a pure land where I can bury this broken body. I believe that when we meet again in the future, I may already be a land. We will be in the land recently.
Let's say goodbye." Picking up the crutches on the table, the blind old man waved his hand towards Chen Xiuzhu with a smile, and then swayed towards the outside of the tavern.
"I've had a lot of fun chatting with my old man for the past few days, but I've never asked him his name. Recently, I dared to ask him what he called me when we were leaving." Chen Xiuzhu said with a bow towards the blind old man's back.
"Hehehe, my name is Yixiao." After saying that, the swaying figure disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
"A smile? What a strange name." Chen Xiuzhu rubbed his chin, smiled, then straightened his face, and said to the soldiers beside him
"Gather all personnel back to the ship immediately and prepare to go to sea."
"Yes, Captain"
When Chen Xiuzhu and Brannew arrived at the 113th branch base again, Lieutenant Colonel Pethu Al Tru was already waiting anxiously for the two of them.
After seeing the two of them, Lieutenant Colonel Pethu El Tru quickly stepped forward and said
"You are finally here. We just got the news that someone who looks like Edward Weibull was found in the South China Sea."
"Where?" Chen Xiuzhu asked
With a clatter, Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel Tru neatly unfolded a navigation chart, glanced at it, then followed the 113th branch southward and finally pointed to a place, and said
"According to the analysis of the information I received, I suspect it should be at this place, Crescent Reef Island."
"Doubtful?" The two of them looked at Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel True with some confusion.
Lieutenant Colonel Peter Tru said with an embarrassed look, "That's right, we got a tip before that we had seen someone who looked like Edward on a small island controlled by our army 500 nautical miles away.
.Weibull’s men boarded a pirate ship”
As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel True dug out a stack of information from a pile of documents on his desk. The top was a photo of a pirate ship. Lieutenant Colonel Petchuel True.
Then handed the photo to Chen Xiuzhu and said
"It's this pirate ship. As far as I know, this is the pirate ship of Pink Cotton Jack, the famous pirate in the South China Sea."
"Pink Cotton Jack?" Brannew frowned and thought for a moment, then said as if he was remembering, "Is it the guy who talks about business?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bichu El Tru nodded in agreement. Chen Xiuzhu looked at Brannew in confusion and asked, "Is this person very powerful?"
When Brannew heard Chen Xiuzhu's question, he smiled and explained, "This pink cotton Jack is famous not because of his strength, but because he likes to wear pink striped cotton trousers and cotton jackets, and this person likes to do business more than anything else."
Be a pirate"
"Yes," Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel Tru said in agreement, "Because his behavior is quite honest, and the most important thing is that this person is not only greedy for money, but also very cunning. We have united several branches before
Even if we launch an encirclement and suppression campaign, we can't catch this person. This person has a good way of escaping."
"A pirate who likes to do business? Then why doesn't he do serious business but become a pirate?" Chen Xiuzhu, who had just asked this question, immediately thought of the answer. What better business than a capital-free business like robbery?
Well, if the other party is strong, then he will do business with them seriously. If the other party is not strong, then he will kill him and directly swallow his property. Thinking of this, Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel that this kind of person is really a scoundrel.
"Do you think this person is a rogue?" Seeing the expression on Chen Xiuzhu's face, Brannew knew what he was thinking. "But this person is pretty good. Although he often swallows up some people who are not as strong as him, but those
Everyone is a pirate. For serious businessmen, he will give a certain degree of protection. So to a certain extent, he is showing goodwill to us, so after several unsuccessful encirclement and suppression attempts, he let us go.
Let it go”
"It's true that the sea is so big that any turtle or bastard can become a spirit." Chen Xiuzhu curled his lips and said, "Continue with the topic just now."
Lieutenant Colonel Peter True nodded and continued, "As far as I know, after the guy who looked like Edward Weeble boarded Pink Cotton Jack's pirate ship, the pirate ship went to sea. We
People once asked about several small islands around here and found that only the people on this island had ever seen the pirate ship from a distance."
Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel Tru pointed his finger at a small island not far from the previous Crescent Island, and then continued, "So I think he should have gone to Crescent Island."
"Lieutenant Colonel, is there any situation on Crescent Island?" Chen Xiuzhu asked
Lieutenant Colonel Pethuel Tru's face was a little red at this moment, he scratched the back of his head and said, "This Crescent Key Island is a bit special, because this place is surrounded by reefs, our warships cannot approach, and the island is not suitable for living.
, so this place is not under our control, but..."
At this point, both Chen Xiuzhuyou and Branniu understood that there are hundreds and eighty of these uninhabitable islands within a certain 100 nautical miles of the South China Sea. The navy has sufficient personnel and it is impossible to station them all.
It's completely unnecessary. Not to mention a waste of troops, the most important thing is that it's meaningless.
But this kind of place is a favorite place for pirates. Most pirates will choose such a place with complex terrain as their lair.
"It seems that I still need to go and see if it's that guy Weibull. Then, Brannew, let's go." Chen Xiuzhu stood up and said thank you to Lieutenant Colonel Bichu Al. Tru, and stood up.
Go up to Branyu and walk out
Lieutenant Colonel Petchu Air Tru hurriedly followed up and said, "Are you two going alone? Do you need me to send troops to support you?"
Stopping in his tracks, Chen Xiuzhu said with a smile, "Lieutenant Colonel Pethu Al Tru is responsible for guarding the 113th branch. There is no major incident and it is not appropriate to go to sea at will. Besides, we are only going to check, and we are not really going to fight with people, so we
Just go by yourself”
Looking at Chen Xiuzhu and the two who were gradually walking away, Lieutenant Colonel Pethu Al. Tru's originally guilty expression was completely gone at this moment. He looked at the two people's backs with an unfathomable expression and smiled.
After returning to the warship, everyone had returned to their posts. Brannew waved his hand
