Chapter 222 Jumping into the Yellow River to wash away
Chapter 222: Jumping into the Yellow River can’t clear your mind
Xia Xun touched the boat and found that the guards were unusually lax. Not a single guard could be seen at the hatch. He felt relieved and quietly went into the cabin. Turning on the fire, Xia Xun looked around. Under the dim light,
, the bilge was quiet, there were only boxes stacked high, but no one could be seen. Xia Xun couldn't help being startled, and gently pulled down the face mask: "Strange, I got on the wrong ship?"
He took a few steps unconsciously and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a man appeared from behind the pile of goods. A sharp waist knife was placed tightly around his neck. The knife was the standard military knife of the Ming Dynasty Guards.
Xun immediately stiffened and did not dare to move. He just said: "Don't do anything, we are one of our own!"
Someone behind me said coldly: "You are wearing a military uniform with a black scarf on your face. You are moving strangely. What do you want to do?"
Xia Xun's whereabouts were exposed, and murderous intent suddenly arose, so he said softly: "Brother, there is such a coquettish woman on the ship. If you just take her back and kill her, wouldn't it be a waste of resources? I just want to get in and use it, but don't want to...
,Brother, aren’t you interested in that Mr. Su San? Hehe...hey!"
Xia Xun deliberately acted like a wolf and laughed obscenely twice. Then a beautiful and angry face appeared in front of him. Xia Xun's laughter stopped suddenly and his eyes almost bulged out. It was Su Ying.
!Su Ying stood in front of him.
Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, then said in a panic: "You...you...you are out of trouble?"
Su Ying gritted her teeth and said: "Kill this bastard for me!"
"Slow down! Slow down! I have something to say!"
Xia Xun quickly raised his hand, but there was a bloody mark on his neck, which made him break into a cold sweat.
Su Ying looked at him with disdain and disgust, and said coldly: "What other last words do you have?"
Xia Xun said with a bitter face: "I came to save you, so I came here with my face covered. I just put the knife on my neck. I just thought I was discovered by the guards, so I had to talk nonsense, this... this...
I’m wronged!”
Su Ying sneered: "Can I still believe you?"
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Why don't you believe it? You also know that when you were arrested, I was also surprised. I even questioned Master Qianhu. I clearly had no idea. Just now, I really wanted to
Save you. I... I won’t say that, how can I explain to the guards who found me why I look like this? The conscience of heaven and earth..."
"Third leader, don't trust him. If it weren't for him, would we be caught by the officers and soldiers? They would also destroy our Shuangyu Island. These officials can't be trusted with their clever words and tricks. Kill him!"
"Yes, yes, kill him!"
A group of pirates said one after another. When Xia Xun saw Su Ying's lips moving slightly, as if she wanted to speak, he immediately said: "I have a way to save Shuangyu!"
As soon as these words were said, the noise stopped and the cabin became quiet. Su Ying asked: "What can you do?"
Xia Xun said: "This method is not something I thought of temporarily. When I wanted to save you, I thought of this method. You should know that I came here tonight to save you. Because I promised
By cooperating with you, the court can break its promise, but I cannot!"
Su Ying stared at him and said: "I don't know if you are trustworthy or not. Originally, I wanted to lead people to kill him."
Xia Xun said: "You have no chance of success. You guys are just going to die!"
Su Ying said: "Yes, but I, Su Ying, was born here and grew up here. Shuangyu is my home. If someone wants to destroy my Shuangyu, then they have an sworn hatred with me. Even if they die, I will fight with them."
They fought hard! You said there is a way to protect my Shuangyu, what way? Just tell me, no matter what your purpose is in sneaking here tonight, I will let you go!"
Xia Xun hesitated and said: "I..."
Su Ying thought he didn't believe her, so she sneered: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, we thieves are more loyal than you. I, Su Ying, keep my word and will never break my word."
Xia Xun really didn't expect that tonight's rescue would lead to such an unexplainable situation. He smiled helplessly and said: "That's it. The officers and soldiers want to destroy Shuangyu. The method is to gather sea ships, pile rocks into the sea, and block them."
Apart from the waterway, they have no other choice."
Su Ying said: "Yes, so what?"
Xia Xun said: "Except for some officers and soldiers who are still searching for the remnants of the enemy on the island, most of the officers and soldiers are concentrated on the pirate ships approaching and watching the pirates move the stones. In order to speed up the progress, they themselves are also collecting stones on the island. The water behind them
Most of the division ships have no people at all, just like this ship, where important people like you are detained, there are not many guards."
Su Ying said coldly: "So what?"
Xia Xun said: "Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body."
"How?"
Xia Xun said: "They want to sink the ship, let's burn the ship first."
Su Ying was startled, and suddenly she seemed to understand something, her eyes lit up: "Go on!"
Xia Xun said: "Li Jinglong led a large ship to pursue Chen Zuyi. This is the foundation of your Shuangyu Gang. You are not willing to give up. I think Mr. Xu never wants to give up. The reason why he has not come yet must be because Chen Zuyi has escaped."
, Mr. Xu is worried that his Chen Qian Island will be retaliated by the desperate Chen Zuyi. At this moment, he must have returned to Chen Qian, gathered all the ships, loaded everyone and everything, and will be back on the island early tomorrow morning at the latest.
The officers and soldiers, they don’t have much time, and they will definitely return home early tomorrow morning.”
One pirate couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, mother-in-law, do you want to delay time? If you have anything to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up!"
Su Ying raised her hand to stop him and said to Xia Xun, "Keep talking!"
Xia Xun said: "In this case, we take advantage of the emptiness behind them and burn these ships. How will they go to sea?"
Su Ying's eyes brightened: "Of course we will use the Chumi Gang's ships."
Xia Xun asked: "Then, what else do they use to sink the sea and block the waterway?"
A smile appeared in Su Ying's eyes: "It's really a good plan to take the fire out of the cauldron!"
The pirates also understood Xia Xun's idea at this time. Someone slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Yes, we wanted to rush out just now. Kill one to get enough money, kill two to get the profit, his grandma's, and his
Comparing our ideas, our ideas are totally useless."
Su Ying glared at him and said viciously: "Are you scolding me?"
The pirate quickly laughed and said: "No, no, I said the wrong thing!" Then he slapped himself in the face.
Su Ying glanced at Xia Xun, stretched out her hand, and said, "Hand over the knife!"
Xia Xun still had a knife on his neck. He could only stretch out two fingers and slowly draw out his own sword. With the tip of the knife pointed at himself, he slowly handed it to Su Ying.
Su Ying held the knife in her hand and suddenly smiled brightly: "If you know the rules, take him with you." After that, she turned around and walked out.
Several pirates stared at him and said, "Third Master, what are you doing with such a burden? Even if you don't want to kill him, just tie him here."
Su Ying said: "He is not a young officer. If we want to escape, we might need him. If the officers and soldiers press too hard, we will chop off his head!"
Xia Xun shouted: "Third sister, you promised me!"
Su Ying walked to the hatch, stopped and looked back, and said confidently: "Learned it from you..."
The eyebrows were raised, quite high.

Dai Zongxiao commanded the men and horses to carry stones to the pirate ship non-stop. Navy officers and soldiers held torches and held swords and guns, closely monitoring the pirates' every move to prevent them from sudden mutiny.
The wind on the island was very strong, causing the flames on the torches to roll. Dai Zongxiao stood on the pier, satisfied and very happy.
When he returns home, he will give a reward to his thousand households. Moreover, during the siege of the island, he also collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures. When the time comes, Cao Guogong will send some to Commander Luo. Give some away, and reward some of the capable generals, and the remaining money will still be an astonishing wealth.
Dai Qianhu thought to himself: When I get the money, I will send most of it back to my hometown and ask my mother-in-law to buy hundreds or even thousands of acres of good land there. I can also buy an outhouse in Hangzhou. , Marry a local girl from a good family to be your concubine, she must be pretty and pretty, gentle and virtuous, and hire a few maids and maids. You will have to make it work when the time comes. She will not leave even if you get promoted. The land of Suzhou and Hangzhou is the world. Heaven, I will live here forever..."
While he was making calculations, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's on fire, it's on fire."
Dai Zongxiao was startled and hurriedly followed the sound and saw flames on a ship in the distance. It was blown by the sea breeze and quickly turned into flames.
The soldiers and pirates were in a commotion, and Dai Zongxiao shouted sternly: "Don't mess around, keep an eye on them. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble will be shot without mercy!"
"kill!"
The officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their bows, guns, and swords to control the pirates who had just shown signs of disturbance.
Dai Zongxiao shouted: "Li Zhou, Li Zhou, you bastard, where did you go? Le Wangran, Le Wangran, take your men and horses and put out the fire immediately. Other departments, keep an eye on the prisoners and don't cause chaos." picture."
When she thought of setting fire, Su Ying had more ideas than Xia Xun. Instead of setting fire randomly, she led people to sneak out of the ship, went up to the wind first, and ignited the last ship. Oil was poured on the ship, and all the treasures were collected. Various igniting objects were thrown out, and the flames instantly burned the sky. Then they were blown by the sea breeze and spread. Neighboring ships were ignited one after another, and the fire was out of control.
Not to mention that Dai Zongxiao still controlled many captured pirates. Even if he gathered all the people and rushed here, it would be impossible to put out the fire in the dense jungle of ships with their sails and gangways connected and their gangways connected. The fire spread at an alarming speed. Seeing this, Dai Qianhu quickly issued another order: "Quick, quick, quick, move the unignited ship away, don't get caught."
Immediately, some officers and soldiers jumped onto the pirate ship in panic and rushed to sail them away, but the pirate ship had already been loaded with a large number of stones. When they hurriedly raised the sails, they sailed the heavy and clumsy ships in front to safety. Away from the distance, the entire port and dock behind had been engulfed in raging flames, roasting the officers, soldiers and pirates on the shore until they retreated more than 20 feet away from the shore, feeling like a heat wave hitting their faces.
Dai Qianhu had turned into an African with curly hair and a black face. He waved his sword angrily and roared: "Someone is setting a fire! This is someone setting a fire! Who is it! Who is it! Get him out! I want it."
Peel his skin off and beat his tendons!"
