In the wild wharf, in the cabin of the grain ship, the lonely lamp is like a bean, and the air is turbid.

"Miss, do you really want to do it?" When it came to the end, the little maid was a little timid after all.

"Of course." Jiang Xueying's dirty little face tightened, and in front of the skillful loading, two beautifully styled short guns.

As a girl who has been seriously insecure since childhood, Jiang Xueying has been practicing shooting repeatedly since she found two muskets in her home that were said to have been given to her grandfather by Franco.

Marksmanship, that is, the degree of hitting birds with his hands......

"Wu Ji's prestige can't fall, otherwise the business will be greatly affected." Miss Jiang pressed the lead bullet with a strip and loaded the other gun with gunpowder and lead bullet.

"So it's for Wu Ji?" The maid covered her mouth in surprise, she had always thought that the young lady was trying to vent her anger.

"Give yourself a breath by the way." Jiang Xueying put the two pistols into the barrel, hid them under the wide robes, and then stood up.

"Miss Ben has never gone without a shower for three days!"

"Uh......" The little maid also hurriedly brought her gun and went out behind the young lady.

Outside the island.

As soon as the five gun boats left the port, they were seen by Zhao Hao and Jin Ke.

"I can't wait." Zhao Gongzi couldn't help laughing and said, "But why did you go to so many boats, and there are not many people?" ”

In Zhao Hao's opinion, at least ten gun ships had to be used to transport the silver, so as not to affect the speed.

And the speed is the biggest basis for the guns to run rampant in Taihu Lake.

"I don't want too many people to see the 100,000 taels of silver." I only heard Jin Ke say lightly: "Eighty percent of the bandit leaders are on these five boats, and his subordinates are still in the dark." ”

"Childe's hand is too ruthless." Jin Ke said with a light sigh: "Silver makes people greedy, and a huge amount of silver can make people stupid. In the Battle of Flower Street that year, the gold and silver treasures thrown by the Japanese almost messed up the morale of the army, but fortunately, Zhu Jue took the opportunity to make a decision and kicked them all into the water...... is only a few thousand taels, so that soldiers cannot be restrained by military discipline. Childe smashed out 100,000 taels at once, not to mention these water bandits, even the army of the commander will be chaotic. ”

"It's not silver that makes people greedy, it's that when water bandits are greedy people." Zhao Hao chuckled and asked, "What should we do?" ”

"My subordinates guessed that eighty percent of the bandits on the island were leaderless, and after the bandit leader took the silver, eighty percent would not come back." Jin Ke replied in a deep voice.

"That's not going to happen." Zhao Hao was a little anxious and said: "You must catch him, this son is of great use!" ”

"Yes." Jin Ke nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's do it, the last general will take the brothers to Xiaozhu Island to arrest people; The rest of the people are led by Childe, who is here to monitor the movements of Da Lei Island. If a gun boat escapes, or if any other ship comes, they must be stopped, and they must not be allowed to go to the island! ”

"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded. "Don't let one ship go to the island, all of them will be arrested."

"Hmm. It stands to reason that if the bandit leader is not there, there will be no movement on the island. But it can't be all guesswork, I arranged for two old brothers who had been scouts to sneak to the island to find out the situation and see where Wu Kee's people were being held, so as not to be caught off guard. I listened to Jinke's advice:

"But there are always accidents in everything, and when there is a real emergency, Childe has to make his own decisions."

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded again, and said in his heart that there should be no emergency......

After Jinke finished speaking, he pursed his lips and let out a few waterfowl calls that were enough to disturb the depths of the mist behind him.

In a moment, several clippers sailed out of the smoke and rain and approached the sampan.

"It's subordinate." As soon as Jin Ke arched his hand towards Zhao Hao, he jumped onto the nearest boat with agility and ordered several old subordinates to sneak into the enemy's nest to find out the situation. Then he commanded the rest of the clippers to go towards Xiaozhu Island.

Zhao Hao, with the help of Gao Wu, returned to the big boat, holding a telescope and staring at the sampan that quietly sailed into the reeds.

On the sampan, the two scouts of the former Qi family army had already taken off their clothes and wore only calf-nosed robes.

They tied a sword to their backs with a rope, and each took a rib in his hand, and thus leaped silently into the water.

The officers and men of the Qi family preferred Japanese weapons because they were their trophies......

By the time they surfaced, they were covered in mud and had Houttuynia cordata on their heads, blending in perfectly with their surroundings.

Only then did they slowly swim out of the reeds and disappear into Zhao Hao's sight.

~~

Xiaozhu Island is twenty miles away from the bandits' nest, and it is still countercurrent.

Yu Liuye and his four great King Kongs each took a gun boat, you chased me, and it only took half an hour to reach the vicinity of the island.

It took half the time than usual.

At this time, it was already the second watch, the night rain was raging, and the five fingers were missing in the dark.

The bandits lit the torches one after another, and it took a lot of effort to find the small sandbar.

The crowd cheered, jumped out of the boat, threw themselves on waist-deep water, and rushed towards the continent.

When they went up to the sandbar, they saw the messy mound at a glance, squatted down and directly cut the floating soil with their hands, and a large wooden box with a mouth covered with mud and sand appeared in front of the bandits.

Crackling, the wooden box was opened, and the white silver shone with charming brilliance in the firelight.

The sound of swallowing saliva was incessant, and the eyes of the bandits all flashed green.

"Hurry up and get out of here!" Yu Liuye looked at the black rumbling lake around him, and his heart beat a drum.

The instincts honed by years of begging for life on the tip of the knife made him feel bad.

But this is 100,000 taels, enough to make people lose their rationality......

That glimmer of alertness was gone in the blink of an eye.

But his men threw away their blades, and swooped down on them with a scream, and threw the piles of silver ingots into their bosoms and threw them into the sky, ignoring the orders of the great masters.

The bandits who remained on the boat also ran down and joined the reveling crowd, and the small sandbar became a sea of joy.

~~

At this time, the clippers chasing them were still miles away.

Jin Ke stood on the bow of the boat, staring at the direction of Xiaozhu Island with a telescope, and noticed a little bit of fire jumping.

There was even a firelight flying into the air.

"They're already on the island." Jin Ke handed the telescope to Tong Zigong, an old subordinate on the side.

Tong Zigong looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Yo, it's quite fun." ”

said with infinite regret: "If you surround them at this time, you can serve them in one pot." ”

"It's a pity that people's guns are too fast." Jinke smiled bitterly.

"Yes, the brethren could not keep up with all their strength." Tong Zigong couldn't help frowning, and shouted to the rowing brothers: "All work hard, but you can't let them run!" ”

"Don't worry, you can't run." Jin Ke took the telescope unhurriedly, looked at the little fire that gradually regained his calm, and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to drag them down." From the moment Childe took out the money, the result was already doomed. ”

After speaking, Jinke gave the order to sneak, and the ten clippers were silent, and there was no slightest fire, like swimming fish, quietly approaching Xiaozhu Island.
