- At the wild dock, in the cabin of the grain ship, there are solitary lamps like beans, and the air is turbid.
"Miss, do you really want to take action?" When things came to a close, the maid finally said a little timidly.
"Of course." Jiang Xueying tightened her dirty little face and looked at two exquisite short guns in front of her with skillful loading.
As a girl who has been severely insecure since childhood, Jiang Xueying has been practicing shooting repeatedly since she found two muskets in her home that were said to be given to her grandfather by the Fo Langji people.
?????????Marksmanship, that is, the level of shooting birds casually
"Wu Ji's prestige must not fall, otherwise the business will be greatly affected." Miss Jiang pressed the lead bullets with a purge bar and loaded the other gun with gunpowder and lead bullets.
"So it's because of Wu Ji?" The maid covered her mouth in surprise. She always thought that the young lady was doing it to vent her anger.
"Let me vent my anger." Jiang Xueying put the two pistols into the barrels, hid them under her loose robe, and then stood up.
"I have never gone three days without taking a shower!"
"Uh" The little maid also quickly put on her gun and followed the young lady out.

Outside the island.
As soon as the five gun ships left the port, they were seen by Zhao Hao and Jin Ke.
"I can't wait." Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile: "But why are there only so many boats and not many people?"
In Zhao Hao's opinion, at least ten gun ships must be used to transport the silver so as not to affect the speed of the ship.
And speed is the biggest basis for gun boats to travel across Taihu Lake.
"I don't want too many people to see the one hundred thousand taels of silver." Jin Ke said calmly: "The bandit leader is probably on these five boats, and his subordinates are still in the dark."
"Young master, this is too cruel." Jin Ke said with a sigh: "Silver makes people greedy, and a huge amount of silver makes people stupid. In the Battle of Huajie, the gold and silver treasures thrown by the Japanese pirates almost destroyed the morale of the army. Fortunately, Zhu Jue made a decisive decision and kicked them all into the water With only a few thousand taels, the soldiers could not be restrained by military discipline. The young master smashed a hundred thousand taels at once, not to mention these water bandits, even the commander's army would do it. It¡¯s a mess.¡±
"It's not that money makes people greedy, but that water bandits are greedy people." Zhao Hao chuckled and asked, "What should we do?"
"My subordinates guess that 80% of the bandits on the island are leaderless. After the bandit leader takes the money, 80% of them will not come back again." Jin Ke replied in a deep voice.
"That can't be done." Zhao Hao said anxiously: "We must catch him, I will be of great use!"
"Yes." Jin Ke nodded and said solemnly: "Then let's go like this. I will take the brothers to Xiaozhu Island to arrest people; the rest will be led by the young master to monitor the movement of Dalei Island. If there are gun ships. Any boats that escape or come back will be stopped and they will not be allowed to go to the island!"
"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded. "Don't let even one ship reach the island, capture them all."
"Yeah. It stands to reason that if the bandit leader is not there, there won't be any movement on the island. But we can't rely entirely on guessing. I arranged for two old brothers who have been scouts to sneak to the island to find out the situation and see if Wu Ji's people were killed. Lock him up somewhere so as not to be caught off guard if something happens." He then heard Jin Ke's instructions:
"However, there are always accidents in everything. When an emergency occurs, you have to make your own decision."
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded heavily again, saying that there must be no emergency
After Jin Ke finished speaking, he pursed his lips, looked into the depths of the mist behind him, and let out a few sounds that were convincing enough to sound like real water birds.
In a moment, several speedboats sailed out of the misty rain and came to the sampan.
"My subordinates are gone." Jin Ke handed over to Zhao Hao, jumped onto the nearest boat with agility, and ordered several old subordinates to sneak into the enemy's nest to investigate the situation. Then he directed the other clippers to head towards Xiaozhu Island.
With Gao Wu¡¯s help, Zhao Hao also returned to the ship, holding his binoculars and staring closely at the sampan that quietly sailed into the reed marsh.
On the sampan, two former scouts from the Qi family army had taken off their clothes and were only wearing calf-nosed robes.
They tied a Japanese sword to their backs with a rope, each holding a rib in their hands, and jumped into the water silently.
The officers and soldiers of the Qi Army prefer Japanese weapons because they are their trophies
When the two of them surfaced, their bodies were already covered with mud, and there were Houttuynia cordata on their heads, perfectly blending in with the surrounding environment.
They slowly swam out of the reeds and disappeared from Zhao Hao's sight.

Xiaozhu Island is twenty miles away from the bandit's nest, and it's against the current.
??Yu Liuye and his four kings each ride aThe boat, you chased after me, and it actually only took half an hour to arrive near the island.
It took half the time than usual.
It was already the second watch, the night was raining heavily, and it was pitch black.
The water bandits lit up pine torches one after another, and it took a lot of effort to find the small sandbank.
Everyone cheered, jumped out of the boat one after another, stepped on the waist-deep water, and ran towards the island.
When they got to the sandbank, they saw the messy mounds of soil at a glance. They squatted down and dug away the floating soil with their hands. Large wooden boxes covered with sand appeared in front of the water bandits.
With bang bang bang, the wooden box opened one by one, and the white silver shone with a charming brilliance under the firelight.
The sound of swallowing could not be stopped, and the water bandits' eyes all glowed green.
"Quickly load the ship and get out of here!" Mr. Yu Liu looked at the dark lake around him, his heart pounding.
The intuition honed over many years of living on the edge of a knife made him feel something was not good.
But this is one hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels that is enough to make people lose their rationality
That trace of alertness disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, his subordinates threw away their weapons, screamed and rushed forward, took piles of silver ingots into their arms, and threw them into the sky, ignoring the orders of the master.
The water bandits who stayed on the boat also ran down and joined the carnival crowd one after another. The small sandbank turned into a sea of ??joy.
??~~
At this time, the Clippers chasing them were still several miles away.
Jin Ke stood on the bow of the boat, staring in the direction of Xiaozhu Island with a binoculars, and found a little firelight jumping around.
There was actually fire flying into the air.
"They have already arrived on the island." Jin Ke handed the binoculars to his old subordinate Tong Zigong.
When Tong Zigong saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, I'm quite happy."
Speaking of infinite regret: "If you go around at this time, you can bring them in a pot."
¡°It¡¯s a pity that their guns and ships are too fast.¡± Jin Ke smiled bitterly.
"That's right, the brothers can't catch up even with all their strength." Tong Zigong couldn't help frowning and shouted to the brothers rowing: "Work harder, we can't let them run away!"
"Don't worry, we can't run away." Jin Ke took the telescope calmly, looked at the little lights that gradually returned to calm and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to hold them back. From the moment the young master took out the money , the result is already determined.¡±
After saying that, Jin Ke issued the stealth order, and the ten speedboats were silent, without any light, like swimming fish, quietly approaching Xiaozhu Island.
