On the sixth day after Jin Feng encountered pirates, a navy ship finally passed by Jiaolin Island and discovered the pirates.
At this time, the navy was already equipped with heavy crossbows. Mr. Guo and others did not dare to confront the navy head-on, so they ran away in the big ship, leaving behind the pirates who were left to salvage the sunken ship.
The navy caught these pirates and questioned them, and then they learned about Jin Feng's attack.
The navy captain who led the team immediately sent a homing pigeon to report the news to Zheng Chiyuan.
Zheng Chiyuan had just received the news that Jin Feng had been awarded the title of King of One Word. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
The biggest celebrity in front of the emperor died in the East China Sea. Just thinking about it made Zheng Chiyuan feel numb.
While sending people to gather the navy, they also had people prepare carrier pigeons to send the news back to the capital.
However, his subordinates came over to report that the pigeon farmer was attacked last night and was still unconscious, and that all the pigeons had been crushed to death.
"It seems that the other party is well prepared!"
The other party obviously did not want him to send the news back.
It also shows that the opponent's target may not only be Jin Feng, but may also have follow-up actions!
Thinking of this, Zheng Chiyuan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"General, all brothers are on board!"
Zheng Chiyuan's deputy ran over and said.
"Old Niu, you immediately take Zhuifeng Battalion and Chilian Battalion to Jiaolin Island to protect the place where the Imperial Master's ship sank!"
Zheng Chiyuan said quickly.
"Yes!" the deputy agreed, turned and left.
Zheng Chiyuan then left the dock and led another fleet straight to the north.
He was going to Hong Taoping's dock to tell the escorts at the dock what happened and ask them to send the message back quickly.
Just in time to catch the south wind, Zheng Chiyuan rushed to the waters of Yuxi Town that evening.
Before they even docked, they saw a column of black smoke rising into the sky in the direction of the dock, and there were also bursts of explosions.
Two hot air balloons drifted in the wind, chasing three pirate ships and bombarding them wildly!
"Quick, stop them!"
Although Zheng Chiyuan didn't know what happened, he immediately ordered the navy to block the sea and block the way of the three pirate ships.
If it is an ordinary pirate, after finding that there is no way to escape, he will usually choose to surrender.
However, this group of pirates rushed towards the navy, completely disregarding life and death.
"Prepare the heavy crossbow, sink them for me!"
Following Zheng Chiyuan's order, dozens of heavy crossbows in the naval fleet launched attacks at the same time.
Three pirate ships were shot through at that time, and seawater poured into the cabins crazily.
The pirates jumped into the sea to escape, and many of them were captured alive by the navy who arrived later.
The person in charge of the escort, Da Qiang, stood on the beach with a dark face. When he discovered that the pirate ship had been sunk, he immediately ordered the hot air balloon to return to the dock.
Zheng Chiyuan led his personal guards and approached the dock in a small boat.
At this time, the beach outside the dock was full of pirate corpses, and the dock gate had been lowered. Even if Zheng Chiyuan approached, Daqiang did not order the gate to be released. Instead, he led someone to open the side door and put Zheng Chiyuan's boat in.
"Brother Daqiang, what's going on?"
Zheng Chiyuan asked, pointing to the backyard of the dock that was still smoking.
"There is a group of pirates who intend to attack the shipyard. They also sent people to burn down our warehouse in advance in order to divert our attention!"
Daqiang clasped his fists at Zheng Chiyuan: "Fortunately, General Zheng passed by, otherwise this group of cunning pirates would have escaped!"
"Brother Daqiang, I'm not passing by, but I came to see you specially." Zheng Chiyuan said.
"What are you looking for me for?" Daqiang asked in confusion.
"The Imperial Master was attacked by pirates on Jiaolin Island..."
Before Zheng Chiyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Daqiang.
"How are you doing, sir?" Daqiang took Zheng Chiyuan's arm and asked.
"My people captured a few pirates, and they said that the National Preceptor... the National Preceptor has been killed!"
Zheng Chiyuan told the news he got!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Da Qiang stared at Zheng Chiyuan: "Sir, you are brave and resourceful, how can a mere pirate be your opponent?"
The other escorts looked at Zheng Chiyuan with eyes full of hostility.
In their view, Jin Feng is the myth of being invincible, and Zheng Chiyuan is discrediting Jin Feng by doing this.
"I can't believe it, but my people went to the sea and took a look. The two large ships on which the Imperial Master was riding were all sunk."
Zheng Chiyuan said helplessly: "If Brother Daqiang doesn't believe it, just send someone to Jiaolin Island to have a look!"
"Lao Wu, call the brothers together, I'm going to Jiaolin Island!"
Daqiang turned around and shouted to the deputy company commander behind him.
"Company commander, come here!"
The deputy company commander did not go to gather the men, but turned around and walked behind a large pillar.
He is strong enough to fight and fight hard, and he is loyal enough, but not smart enough and is a bit stubborn.
He himself understood this, so he pestered Zhang Liang to assign him a deputy company commander who was both lively and literate.
The deputy company commander did not disappoint him. After joining the company, he quickly put the military affairs in order.
When Daqiang encounters uncertainties, he usually consults with the deputy company commander.
"Lao Wu, what's wrong?" Daqiang walked behind the pillar and asked in a low voice.
"Company Commander, sir, before going to sea, he specifically told us that no matter what happens, we must protect the dock and Mr. Hong. Now that we are gone, what will happen if pirates come to attack the dock again?"
The deputy company commander said: "Besides, this person's words may not be trustworthy. What if he lies to us and waits for us to leave to plot something evil?"
"That makes sense!"
When Daqiang heard this, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Yes, he and Zheng Chiyuan have only met twice. What if the other party cheats on him?
With Jin Feng's ability, even if he is ambushed by pirates, nothing will happen to him.
Even if there are too many pirates and they can't be defeated, it's always possible to send a homing pigeon back, right?
Daqiang didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could beat Jin Feng to the point where he was unable to fight back, and he didn't even have a chance to fly a homing pigeon.
Thinking of this, the way Daqiang looked at Zheng Chiyuan felt wrong.
"This old boy actually wants to lie to me!"
Daqiang grasped the handle of the knife and wanted to find trouble with Zheng Chiyuan.
"Company Commander, don't be impulsive!"
The deputy company commander quickly grabbed Da Qiang: "It was just my speculation, and it may not be true. Unless Zheng Chiyuan is as addicted to deceiving people as a monkey, it will do him no good to lie to us."
"Lao Wu, you are the one who talks evil, and you are the one who talks white. What do you mean?" Daqiang asked with a frown.
"What I mean is that you can't believe everything Zheng Chiyuan says, nor can you disbelieve it."
The deputy company commander said: "I just thought about it, and the best way now is to send a platoon leader and two squads of people to take a fast boat to Jiaolin Island to have a look, and we will continue to guard the dock with the others."
"That's right, this method is good, it's your brain work, Lao Wu." Daqiang nodded repeatedly: "I will make arrangements right away."
Zheng Chiyuan saw Daqiang coming out from behind the pillar and said, "Brother Daqiang, I know you may not be able to accept what I just said, but can you lend me a carrier pigeon going to the capital?"
