Wang Qinian, who has always been a little seasick, got off the boat with a dizzy head, looked around, and was taken aback, "Where is this?" What a big island! ”

Liang Dong followed behind, looked around, and was also taken aback, "This ...... Isn't this Kinmen Island? ”

Wang Qinian was shocked: "Isn't Kinmen Island the territory of the Zheng family?" Why the fleet here? Aren't you afraid of exposure? ”

Liang Dong grabbed the little leader who passed by and was in charge of the transfer: "Brother, are we here at Kinmen?" Isn't there a fleet of the Zheng family here, anchored here for fear of exposure? ”

The little leader laughed and said: "Brother, you don't understand this, this is called black under the lamp, Zheng Zhilong can't even guess that we will hide under his nose." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info And we have to fight Zheng Zhilong, it is the closest from Kinmen, and the place where we stop the ship now is called Liuluo Bay, which is the southeast of Kinmen Island, and it will not be easily discovered, and it is less than 20 miles away from the center and left. As for the Zheng family's fleet, because the governor of Fujian gathered troops and horses to deal with us, they were all transferred to the Zhongzuo Institute, and now there are no outsiders in the entire Kinmen Island except for us and Hongmao. ”

Liang Dong suddenly realized, and stepped aside after a few perfunctory words.

Wang Qinian heard their conversation, and after the little leader left, he pulled Liang Dong to a secluded corner and whispered to him: "It seems that this is the temporary stronghold for them to attack the Zhongzuo Institute." As long as you want to flee to the other side and tell the general the news, we are done. ”

Liang Dong nodded: "Mr. Wang is right. If you want to escape, take advantage of tonight. Now that the shopkeepers have just arrived, there must be a mess, and no one counts the heads. Wait until tomorrow the big dragon head...... Liu Xiang summoned the shopkeepers to assign tasks, and it was inconvenient to leave. ”

Wang Qinian asked cautiously: "Without the two of us, will you startle the snake and make Liu Xiang alert?"

Liang Dong smiled: "Mr. Wang, you think too highly of the two of us." You're not on the list, and I'm just a minion who can't get on the stage, and those shopkeepers and bosses may not be able to think of us when the battle is over. ”

Liu Xiang's shopkeepers usually don't get together, except for a few cores, the rest of the people do their own business, and now they are concentrated in one place, in order to find a better place to shelter from the wind, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, and the pirates have no discipline at all, whoever has the big fist has the final say, and sometimes Liu Xiang has to mediate in person. The whole day passed in the noise and friction.

As night fell, the pirates who had been noisy all day finally fell asleep, and most of the ships were hidden in the darkness, except for a few night owls who were still drinking and gambling.

A small sampan came out of the edge of the fleet and quietly sailed out, it was Wang Qinian and Liang Dong. They carefully avoided the lighted boats and headed west, in the direction of the center-left.

Dense boats docked on the shore, endlessly, and occasionally exposed lights shone on the sea, illuminating the route for the two of them.

Although Liang Dong knew that pirates were very vigilant at night - night naval battles were dangerous in this era, and in most cases, the attackers would not choose to start a battle at night - he was still careful not to make too much noise and alarm the people on board.

After a stick of incense, the little sampan finally left the waters where Liu Xiang's fleet was located, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they walked another 18 miles to the west, they could reach their destination, Zhongzuo.

At this moment, a black shadow like a hill in front of him suddenly lit up a few lights, like a monster hidden in the darkness opened its eyes. The light of the lamp pierced through the darkness and shone on the sampan, locking the two men, and a man who spoke broken Chinese shouted and asked, "Who are you and where are you going?" ”

Liang Dong secretly complained in his heart, only remembering to guard against the pirates, but forgetting that there was still a red-haired fleet moored to the west. Now that he is being interrogated by the other party, in a hurry, what reason should he prevaricate in the past?

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the people on the large plywood boat opposite became vigilant, took out their arquebuses and aimed them at the two of them, and it seemed that they would shoot at any time.

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Qinian's head, if he didn't deal with it carefully, the two of them would become ghosts under the red-haired gun. He stumbled upon a worn fishing net on the sampan and quickly exclaimed, "We are out fishing, not spies!" ”

Liang Dong was stunned, this reason is too far-fetched. But he couldn't think of a better way, so he chimed in: "Yes, we're out fishing." My shopkeeper wants to get two fresh live fish to make a snack and catch them by using a lantern to attract them. ”

The Dutch sailor who shouted was stunned and asked his accomplice next to him: "Can you fish at night?" ”

One of the sailors, a fisherman, nodded and said, "There is indeed such a method – since the 7th century, fishermen in the Mediterranean have used the light of lanterns to attract fish, and then they have caught them with steel forks or nets." ”

The man who shouted shrugged, "Well, I admit not knowing that. However, no matter what they want to do, they can't pass through our defense zone, and if they are allowed to appear on the west side of Kinmen Island and be discovered by Zheng Yiguan's men, things will get very bad. ”

He scolded, "Listen, I don't care if you're fishing or whatever, you have to go back to your boat and not pass through here." ”

Wang Qinian asked tentatively: "Let's go around the neighborhood, can we just walk when we catch a fish?" ”

A shot rang out, and a buckshot hit the side of the sampan, sending sawdust flying everywhere.

"Damn, I won't repeat my words a second time, if you continue to be stubborn, the second shot will break your heads."

Liang Dong hurriedly covered Wang Qinian's mouth, nodded and replied: "I know, I know, let's go ...... immediately."

When the sampan returned the same way and disappeared into the darkness, several Dutch sailors laughed.

"These yellow-skinned monkeys are as cunning as loaches, and they must not be merciful to them, and must be taught how to behave with muskets."

"Yes, they have no credibility to speak of. If it weren't for the fact that it was to deal with Zheng Yiguan, I wouldn't want to cooperate with these lowly pirates like pigs. ”

……

In the dark, Wang Qinian asked worriedly, "Do we have any other way to go?" ”

Liang Dong sighed: "Originally, I would have gone straight west through the red-haired fleet, and I would soon be able to reach the port of Zhongzuosuo. But the red fur found us, and it didn't work when we walked this way. The stupidest way is to make a big circle and leave from the east around Kinmen Island and the other side. But in this way, we will have to take a lot of unjust roads, and if the lights are blind at night, if we encounter wind and waves, the two of us may have to die in the belly of the fish......"

Wang Qinian said resolutely: "Then bypass from the east." The lives of the two of us were originally picked up from the hands of the general, and after walking through the ghost gate before the gate, what else is there to be afraid of. ”

Liang Dong smiled: "Okay, since Mr. Wang is not afraid, my Liang Dong has a cheap life, and there is nothing to be afraid of." Wealth and danger are sought, don't take some risks, how to live a good life, let's go. ”
