Chapter 167: Pirates

Lightning and thunder, waves churning.

This three-story ship, in this rolling ocean, is like a crumbling boat. It was supposed to go around the other side of the island, but it suddenly deviated from the direction and became farther and farther away from the island.

Only what was even more terrifying was that under the white light of the lightning, several spire-bottomed sea ships appeared around like ghosts, and they were already less than a hundred meters away from the hull.

Cough!

A cold arrow with a silver glow shot from the boat, and before a sailor standing on the deck could shout, he took the shaft of the arrow and plunged directly into the sea, splashing a wave.

A small boat had crept up closer, and someone on board threw a chain with an iron hook and claw, and climbed up along it.

These people are dressed in different costumes, ranging from the children of the Ming Dynasty who wear Hanfu to the ronin who wear Japanese costumes. These ronins are more aggressive, with ugly "Tsukiyo head" hairstyles, fierce faces and muttering unintelligible words.

Soon, the sound of swords clashing and birds roaring on the deck was heard as the pirates followed the ship's sailors. In the sound of the waves, life was harvested, and blood stained the deck red with the rain.

Not only on this deck, but also in the distance, there were ships fighting, and the pirates were holding back the ships that came to their rescue, as if trying to eat them quickly.

No one could have imagined that these pirates would be so crazy that their fangs would pounce on the Daming Water Master.

At the same time, Lin Haoran also came to the third floor. In contrast to the clashing of blades below, the scene above is also eye-catching, with a corpse lying on the floor.

By the light of a bolt of lightning, he knew the general appearance of these corpses, there were eunuchs here, there were also brocade guards, one of the eunuchs was dressed very gorgeously, and it was estimated that the grade was not low.

Lin Haoran swallowed his saliva, and at this time he could already conclude that there was really a shocking conspiracy hidden here.

Regardless of why the pirates suddenly attacked the big ship, this group of pirates was still fighting on the deck below, but the eunuchs and brocade guards here were all dead.

Now there is only one explanation, it must have been done by the inner ghost on the ship, and then deliberately arranged to be slaughtered by pirates.

It's just that whoever can kill all these people without knowing it, and at the same time perfectly arrange those pirates to stage this farce, the answer is naturally about to come out.

But he wasn't sure what the men's next steps were, whether they were going to slaughter everyone on board.

Someone!

Lin Haoran was about to return to the second floor, but suddenly heard footsteps outside, and his heart was also raised. If he was found by others, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

He knew that at this moment, the enemy was not only from the pirates on deck, but also from "his own people" on the ship. Seeing that there was a large wardrobe in the room, I just didn't want to think about it, so I opened the wardrobe and hid in.

Bang!

There was another roar in the sky, and white light flashed in through the window. Through this white light, he saw a "little zombie" hiding in the closet, and when the zombie saw him, the childish face looked extremely white.

After about two or three seconds of stunned, Lin Haoran's limp leg regained some mobility, and he mustered up the courage to hide in it, and closed the wardrobe at the same time.

Hiding in the closet, I felt the little zombie next to me shivering, and although my body was cold, it was obviously elastic. He knew that it was a misunderstanding, this was not a zombie, it was probably a little eunuch who escaped by luck.

The little eunuch seemed to have recovered from that panic, and knew that this man was not a villain, and would not dispose of him like a companion. It's just that the heart of the mention has just been put down, and it is immediately lifted again.

The door was pushed open, and two people walked in, both of whom were not small, and the footsteps carried a sense of heaviness.

"God really helps us tonight, and your affairs are quite neat!" A loud voice said.

"When I do things, I am naturally clean! It's you, how is the arrangement? Another deep voice asked.

"Don't worry, I'm playing the old shipowner's flag, and the matter won't be found out to me!" The loud voice replied triumphantly.

"You take these things back, but my share!" The words of the deep voice came to an abrupt end.

"Haha...... Don't worry, you can keep ambergris if you want, and you can ask me to help you change it to silver! The loud voice laughed heroically.

"Discuss this matter later, the time is almost over, you can leave as soon as possible with your people!" The deep voice said lightly.

Lin Haoran took advantage of another flash of lightning outside the window, through the crack in the door of the wardrobe, and finally saw clearly that the loud-talking person was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, with a murderous intent on his body.

This man looks nondescript, with a Han Chinese costume, speaks a straight and fluent Chinese, but has an ugly "moon generation head", and a Japanese katana hanging from his waist, which is stained with blood.

When the two had finished speaking, they left the room with what had been placed on the bed, including a fine box.

Ambergris?

Lin Haoran is not a stranger to this thing, when the governor wanted to buy this thing before, Shen Liuye looked for ambergris, and even missed tens of thousands of taels of profits.

Now that I think about it, this fleet is probably in the name of supporting Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but in fact, it is to transport this batch of ambergris to the capital. Or perhaps, it is indeed supporting Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but at the same time it undertakes the mission of transporting ambergris.

It's a pity that there is an internal ghost in this matter, and that Huo Shen will unite with this group of pirates to swallow this batch of things. Things seem to be a little more complicated, as they also talk about the "old shipowner".

But in any case, this is undoubtedly a shady conspiracy. For the sake of ambergris and some treasures, the big ship was dyed red with blood, and even more people died.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with Lin Haoran, now what he needs to think about is how to survive, he doesn't have a strong sense of justice. Being alive is more important than anything else.

Hush!

Lin Haoran watched the little eunuch about to push open the wardrobe door and walk out, hurriedly held him down, and signaled him not to move.

Sure enough, the door was suddenly pushed open again, but I don't know who killed a horse pistol. After checking the room and seeing that there was no movement, he walked away.

The little eunuch looked at Lin Haoran with palpitations, and suddenly secretly lucked, and at the same time looked at this scholar who was not much older than him with admiration. It's just that I'm not sure if this young man is a scholar or a genius scholar.
