The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense. Neither Mu Siniang nor Wu Huchen were good at naval battles. Their only hope was the captain and the sailors and boatmen on the ship.
Mu Siniang's face was silent, her eyes staring at the increasingly larger silhouettes of the ships. She was not afraid, but worried. Although this ship belonged to the Sihai Fleet, it was not included in the order of battle. It should have been Qian Qian at that time.
If one of the batch of armed merchant ships renovated by Wu Bing ordered Wu Huchen to fight, the other three warships and their ship would probably not be a match. Although if they really got close and boarded the ship to fight, Mu
Siniang had no doubt that her people could win, but this was a warship, not a pirate, and there were also firearms on board.
Wu Huchen, on the other hand, looked eager to try. As he watched the sailors playing with the cannons, he finally knew that this was not the time for him to interfere. However, looking at him, it was very difficult to endure.
"Is this coming for us?"
Wang Yue didn't know when he walked out of the cabin and stood beside Mu Siniang, "Huchen, look at it, is it the warship that went out from Longjiang this year?"
Wu Huchen shook his head. He had good eyesight and had long distinguished that the warships were not old but not new. There was no new ship.
At this moment, the three warships were almost a mile away from the ship they were on. In addition to the flags, even the figures running on the warships could be vaguely distinguished.
.
When the two ships sandwiched them and the other one slowly approached them, Wu Huchen stretched out his palms and realized that his palms were full of sweat.
"It's okay!" Mu Siniang's tense face relaxed and she said softly.
"Who is the steward on the ship!? Come out and answer!" Someone on the opposite ship shouted. Wang Yue glanced at Mu Siniang and nodded thoughtfully.
Wu Huchen could also see that although the ship looked menacing, neither the artillery on the ship nor the soldiers seemed to be ready for a fight. From a distance, they could not see it, but they were so close that they could even see it.
, there was no one around the cannon on the bow of the ship, except for the general who was shouting, and the general who was shouting was just right on the bow of the ship. If he really wanted to start a fight, I was afraid that this row of cannons would pass by.
, you can beat him into a sieve, and you won’t find anyone who doesn’t value his life so much.
"General, we are the ship of the Four Seas Fleet!" The captain came out and shouted to the person who was shouting, neither humble nor condescending. As for the nobles on the ship, he didn't need to mention it. The words "the Four Seas Fleet"
, was enough to scare Xiao Xiao. The people in the Sihai Fleet had such confidence.
"I'm looking for you!" The general laughed loudly and said, "Are you going to Dongfan?"
"Exactly!"
The captain said loudly, and the general smiled even more happily, but Mu Siniang's expression became increasingly weird, with only two eyes looking straight at the general.
"Go back to your positions. No need to be on guard!" She suddenly said: "Put away all the weapons and take off all the projectiles in these artillery pieces!"
Wu Huchen looked at her in astonishment, and when he was about to ask a question, Wang Yue gently patted his shoulder, smiled and shook his head.
The captain was still talking to the generals on the warship, but the people on the ship were packing up their weapons and equipment. Mu Siniang did not interfere with the captain's command when the sea battle came, which did not mean that she could not command the captain.
On this ship, her biggest concern is that as long as she gives an order, no matter it is the Jin Yiwei or the people from the Sihai fleet, they will only obey resolutely.
After saying a few words to the general, the captain hurried over.
"Sir, these navy officers said that they are on patrol. I heard that a small group of pirates have appeared from nowhere recently. This route is not very peaceful!"
Mu Siniang hummed softly, indicating that she understood.
"However, the general of the navy seems to be quite enthusiastic. Hearing that our ship from the Four Seas is going to Dongfan, he insisted on escorting us, and said that they were originally going to patrol to Dongfan!"
His answer was still a yes.
"Then we let them follow?" the captain asked cautiously.
"Let them follow, just pretend they are not here!" Mu Siniang said, but her eyes were looking at the warship opposite, looking slightly lost in thought.
The captain took the order and left. Wu Huchen, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak when the captain left: "Master Qianshi, even if these warships are allowed to travel together, there is no need for us to send all the warships together."
All defenses are down, you just said that no one can be trusted on this sea!"
Calling Mr. Qian Shi, this means doing business in a business-like manner. Wu Huchen was questioning the superior's order!
Mu Siniang turned her head and glanced at him coldly. This kind of behavior is not common in the Jinyi Guards. It is even rarer in Qianhu Station overseas, and it is even rarer in Dongfan. Qian Wubing is very strict in managing the army and is very particular about it.
He must obey orders, and without strict military laws and regulations, he simply cannot control the brave men gathered from all directions in Qianhu Station overseas.
Wu Huchen didn't realize that Wang Yue had matured with age after all, but he could tell from Mu Siniang's cold look that he was displeased. Even though he usually doted on Wu Huchen, he also felt that at this time
, Wu Huchen’s question is indeed a bit inappropriate.
"Huchen, Mr. Mu has given such an order, so there is a reason for such an order!" He smiled like a fat old fox: "Don't ask any more!"
Wang Yue spoke, and Mu Siniang realized belatedly that the stupid boy Jin Yiwei in front of her was not one of her subordinates. However, the gesture had been made, but she could not take it back. She would not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, even if
Not for Qian Wubing's sake, but also for Wu Yanran's sake, she should be more tactful.
She tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and decided to explain.
Stretching out Bai Shengsheng's arm and pointing at the general standing at the bow of the ship, Mu Siniang said, "I know that man. As long as he is here, these sailors will not have other intentions!"
"This is incredible, it's nothing to worry about!" Wang Yue clapped his hands and looked at Wu Huchen with a smile: "Go and ask your sister to take my dear grandson out to see the big ship. I'm afraid this little guy has never seen such a big ship.
!”
Wu Huchen looked a little confused. When Wang Yue urged him, he subconsciously walked towards Wu Yanran's cabin. He completely forgot why Mu Siniang said it would be fine if he knew that person, and what kind of background that person was.
Wu Huchen walked away, and Wang Yuecai gently approached Mu Siniang, with a half-smile on his face.
Mu Siniang also turned her head, looked at Wang Yue, and forced out a smile, but this smile was simply uglier than crying!
