Chapter 268: The Imperial Court's Sweep (Part 2)
The weather suddenly changed. In order to be safe, Cai Huang had to dock nearby on an uninhabited island, preparing to wait for the storm to pass before heading south.
When Zhao Fujin went to Liao Kingdom, the Dengzhou navy did not stop him and there was no abnormal movement when he left. Cai Huang instinctively believed that the court would not target him in the short term. He had been walking and stopping for half a month. Except for dealing with the 300 Liao soldiers who were not adapted to the ship and appeased the more than 100 good stallions who accompanied him, he did not notice any abnormalities.
The wind and waves were very strong, and some people and horses boarded the uninhabited island, but Cai Yan chose to stay on the Su Hejia ship to sort out the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal that were plundering from Nanjing. Except for the swaying lights that were dissatisfied with the dazzling lights, the violently shaking ship did not affect him.
"Seventeen, the wooden barrels loaded with saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal must be carefully tied up. They must not be damaged. Hundreds of thousands of coins of silver were exchanged for this thing. If they get wet, they will lose a lot."
With Hu Zi stretched out his hand to stabilize his body from time to time, Cai Yan commanded dozens of children to carefully check the bucket of gunpowder materials in the bottom warehouse. He followed him for several years, and it was still as if he had seen him at the beginning. If it was unnecessary, he would basically remain silent.
The hull shook violently again, and Hu Zi once again reached out to stabilize Cai Huang's figure. [Biquge www.biquga.info] suddenly said: "Young master should go back to the cabin, they will be careful."
Cai Yan held the rope hanging on the hull with one hand to stabilize his body, nodded and smiled, "Yes, we not only can't help here, but we have also become helpless people."
As he said that, Cai Yan was about to turn around, and the hull shook violently. He hurriedly grabbed the rope tightly to stabilize his body. Hu Zi didn't care much about the swaying of the ship. He reached out and held Cai Yan in his arms, and strode towards the light hanging from the cabin door. But they didn't know that the two almost sunken ships hit the reefs of the uninhabited islands and were struggling for the final struggle.
"San'er...San'er..."
A shrill scream came out from Ma Duzi's mouth. As soon as his mouth opened, a wave hit him, instantly slapped him under several meters of water, struggling hard to reveal the water, shouting again, the heavy raindrops of beans accompanied by the deafening roar, dazzling snakes winding around the sky, with the flashing light from time to time, Ma Duzi tried hard to swim ten feet away with a mast ship, wave after wave, and only ten feet away was like an insurmountable sky stream...
"San'er...San'er..."
The bald horse sounded shrill, and the huge waves at a height of 100 feet raised up broken wood and slapped his body. Fortunately, it was just some broken ship debris, which did not cause a fatal blow to him.
"Dad...Dad..."
Just when Ma Bazi was powerless and desperate, the extremely familiar sound came to his ears. His legs and feet, which had no strength, were struck again at the ship that was about to sink.
Ma San was hanging on the exposed mast. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not untie the rope tightly tied to his body. A ray of light flashed, and he looked at countless ups and downs and downs towards the shore. The uncontrollable fear made him cry...
"Dad...Dad..."
One after another, he was shrill, watching a huge wave of despair pounce on the sky...
"father--"
"boom--"
...
"San'er--"
Ma Bazi looked at the mast that was no longer traced on the sea, and a black shadow shot heavily...
"boom--"
After the huge waves, no one could see the faint redness coming out under the huge waves...
Countless people's heads rose and fell, slid their arms desperately, kicking their legs and feet, and unswervingly headed towards the same desperate place.
...
"Bangbang..."
"Young master, something big happened."
Hu Zi knocked on the door outside several times, pushed the door open and said something that made Cai Yan frown.
"The pirates were found on the island, and they were the thief seven."
"The thief Qi Lu Sheng?"
Cai Yan was shocked, and Hu Zi nodded and said, "The thief Qi wanted to intercept us, but he met the Haizhou Navy on the way."
“Go to the shore.”
Cai Yan didn't even think about getting up and walking out of the cabin. Shiqi, who rushed over, hurriedly protected him, as if he knew he was going to land, and the small loach boat had already been put in the water.
Dozens of pirates were captured as soon as they landed. Their appearance alarmed Yao Zhongjiao on the Yi ship. After Cai Yan landed, Yao Zhongjiao and the bosses of each ship also landed one by one.
Su Mei, Zhao Fujin, Huang Wengong and the 300 Liao soldiers followed each other to land. As soon as Cai Yan got ashore, he saw his mother and his little wife waiting in a straw raincoat.
"It's raining outside, so don't have gonorrhea."
Cai Yan pulled Su Mei's arm and walked quickly towards the low tent on the shore. His followers used their bodies to block the periphery, blocking the storm.
"Young Master, the situation seems to be not good." Yao Zhongjiao whispered with a water droplet on his face.
Cai Yan nodded slightly and walked into the low tent with a group of people. In the tent, two people were kneeling on the ground tied tightly.
Cai Yan didn't say much, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and signaled the generals to sit down. Then he looked at the kneeling two people coldly.
"Speak out what you know."
The tent was filled with short-striking men, and the repression that no one spoke made Fan Shisan panic and frightened, and said uneasy: "Go back to the boss, the little one... the little one is Fan Shisan..."
Cai Yan waved his hand and said coldly: "Fan Shisan, don't talk nonsense. I want to know how many ships the Haizhou Navy you encountered, who was leading the troops, and how far is it from here?"
After speaking, Cai Yan looked at the anxious Huang Wengong coldly, and pointed his hand without hesitation.
"If you dare to speak, I will chop you up without hesitation!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly sat upright and looked at the panic-in-the-half Fan Shisan.
The inexplicable heavy air made Fan Shisan dare not hesitate and said in a panic: "The one who asked us to surrender was Zhang Shuye, the governor of Haizhou. At the beginning, there were only a hundred ships, but later there were only more than thirty ships that were chased along the way. We were able to escape because of the wind and waves. How far away is... the villain didn't know, maybe... maybe thirty or fifty miles, maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... maybe... right nearby."
"Under the Prefect Zhang Shuye?"
Yao Zhongjiao was stunned and leaned slightly towards Cai Yan, and Cai Yan also approached a little.
"It doesn't matter which Zhang Shuye is, but a magistrate came to the sea, probably not for the sake of the thief seven."
Cai Yan felt inexplicably familiar with the "Zhang Shuye" in Fan Shisan's mouth. He frowned and thought about it again and again, but still couldn't find any useful information in his mind. He listened to Yao Zhongjiao's words and nodded slightly.
The generals in the tent discussed in a low voice. Cai Yan frowned and looked down at Fan Shisan. It was not surprising that the thief and the pirates came to stop him. They were all bastards who hung their heads on their waists. No matter how risky they took for money, it was not surprising that there was a princess on the ship. Once Zhao Fujin and Su Mei were captured, no one would know what benefits they would get. It was precisely because of this that Yao Zhongjiao personally led fifteen large ships, each with dozens of nearly a hundred people escorted them.
Originally, it was a giant gangster at sea. Cai Yan, Yao Zhongjiao, and Su Mei were not surprised by the thief's robbery halfway, but she didn't understand what Zhao Ji was trying to get crazy. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be true?
Su Mei frowned and whispered: "Can the court noticed that her mother was with the princess?"
Cai Huang's body suddenly shook, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"I see……"
Seeing him like this, Yao Zhongjiao asked in a low voice: "What did the young master think of?"
Cai Hua nodded slightly and said, "Mom and Fu Jin entered the Liao Kingdom from Dengzhou. When we left Liao Kingdom, the Dengzhou Navy had no reaction at all. It is likely that the Dengzhou Navy was not sure to intercept us. After all, Dengzhou is too close to Yingzhou, but after we entered the Yellow Sea, we became mice that could not be advanced or retreated."
"Do you want to catch it all in one go?"
Cai Huang's face was gloomy, fierce and decisive...
