In the wild pier, in the grain cabin, the lonely lamp is like beans and the air is turbid.

"Miss, do you really want to do it?" As the matter came, the little maid said a little timidly.

"Of course." Jiang Xueying tightened her dirty little face and two exquisitely styled short guns in front of the skillful loading.

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

As for marksmanship, it is the level of shooting birds at will...

"Wu Ji's reputation cannot fall, otherwise the business will be greatly affected." Miss Jiang used a strip to press the lead bullet and loaded another gun with gunpowder and lead bullet.

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

"Don't let yourself go." Jiang Xueying put two pistols into the gun barrel, hid them under his wide robe, and then stood up.

"I never take a shower for three days!"

"Uh..." The little maid also quickly brought her gun and followed the 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 and said, "But why did I go to such a few boats, and there were not many people?"

In Zhao Hao's opinion, at least ten guns and ships must be used to transport the silver so that the speed will not be affected.

Speed ​​is the biggest basis for gun ships to roam Taihu Lake.

"I don't want too many people to see the 100,000 taels of silver." Jin Ke said lightly: "Eighty-most of the bandit leader is on these five ships, and his subordinates are still in the dark."

"Young Master's move is too ruthless." Jin Ke said, sighing: "Silver makes people greedy, and huge amounts of silver make people stupid. In the Battle of Huajie, the gold, silver and treasures thrown by the Japanese pirates almost disrupted the morale of the army. Fortunately, Zhu Jue made a quick decision and kicked them all into the water... It was only a few thousand taels, so the soldiers could not be bound by military discipline. The young master smashed 100,000 taels at once. Not to mention these water bandits, even the general's army would be in chaos."

"It's not that money makes people greedy, but that water bandits are all greedy people." Zhao Hao chuckled and asked, "What should we do?"

"I guess that 80% of the bandits on the island are already without leaders. After the bandit leader takes the money, 80% of them will not come back." Jin Ke replied in a deep voice.

"That won't happen." Zhao Hao said anxiously: "We must catch him, this is of great use!"

"Yes." Jin Ke nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then like this, I will take my brothers to Xiaozhu Island to arrest people; the rest will be led by the young master to monitor the movements on Dalei Island. If a gun ship escapes back, or another ship comes, you must stop them and you cannot let them go to the island!"

"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded. "If you don't let a ship go to the island, you will arrest everyone."

"Well. Logically speaking, if the bandit leader is not there, there will be no movement on the island. But it cannot be entirely based on guessing. I arranged for two old brothers who have been scouts to sneak to the island to find out the situation and see where Wu Ji's people are locked up so as not to catch the situation off guard." He heard Jin Ke's advice:

"But everything is always unexpected. When there is an emergency, the young master has to make his own decision."

"Yes." Zhao Hao focused again, thinking that there must be no emergencies...

After Jin Ke finished speaking, he pursed his lips and made a few sounds of water birds crying toward the depths of the mist behind him.

In a moment, a few fast boats sailed out of the mist and rain and came close to the sampan.

"I'm going to go." Jin Ke bowed to Zhao Hao, then jumped onto the nearest ship in agility, and ordered several old subordinates to sneak into the enemy's nest to find out the situation. Then he directed the other fast ships toward Xiaozhu Island.

With the help of Gao Wu, Zhao Hao also returned to the big boat and held the telescope and stared at the sampan that quietly entered the reed marsh.

On the sampan, the two scouts from the former Qi family army had taken off their clothes and were wearing only calf noses.

They tied a Japanese knife to their backs with a rope, held a rib in their hands, and then jumped into the water silently.

The soldiers of the Qi family army prefer Japanese weapons because they are their spoils...

When the two of them surfaced, their bodies were covered with sludge and their heads were covered with Houttuynia cordata, which perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment.

Then 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 is still against the current.

Master Yu Liu and his four great King Kongs each took a gun ship, chasing each other, and it took only half an hour to arrive near the island.

It takes half the time less than usual.

It was already the second day, and the night rain was drizzling and the five fingers were gone.

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

Everyone cheered and jumped off the boat, stomped on the waist-deep water, and rushed towards the continent.

When they reached the sandbank, they saw the messy pile of soil at a glance. They squatted down and dialed the floating soil with their hands. They appeared in front of the water bandits.

Papa, the wooden box opened in one go, and the white silver shone with a charming brilliance under the fire.

The sound of swallowing was endless, and green light appeared in the eyes of the bandits.

"Carry the ship quickly and leave here!" Master Yu Liu looked at the dark lake around him, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

The intuition he has developed from his life for many years has made him feel uncomfortable.

But this is a hundred thousand taels, a hundred thousand taels that are enough to make people lose rationally...

That hint of alertness disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But his subordinates threw away their weapons, thundered and rushed forward, took piles of silver ingots into their arms, threw them into the sky, and ignored the commands of the boss.

The bandits who stayed on the boat also ran down and joined the carnival crowd one after another. The small sandbank became a sea of ​​joy.

~~

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

Jin Ke stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the direction of Xiaozhu Island with a telescope, and found that a little ignition was leaping.

There was actually a fire flying into the air.

"They have already gone to the island." Jin Ke handed the telescope to Tong Zigong, an old subordinate beside him.

When Tong Zigong saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yeah, it's quite happy."

As he said that, he said with great regret: "If you can gather around at this time, you can take them in one pot."

"It's a pity that their gun ship is too fast." Jin Ke smiled bitterly.

"Yes, brothers can't catch up with me with all their strength." Tong Zigong couldn't help but frown and shouted to the rowing brothers: "Everyone is working hard, don't let them run away!"

"Don't worry, I can't run away." Jin Ke took the telescope calmly and looked at the ignition lights that gradually recovered from peace and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to hold them back. The moment the young master took out the money, the result was already destined."

After saying that, Jinke issued a sneak order, and the ten clutches were silent, without any ignition, and they quietly approached Xiaozhu Island like swimming fish.
