Lin Xiaotang stood up and buttoned up his coat. Looking at the Dragon King's expression, he knew that the matter was settled. Before coming, he was sure that the Dragon King would not be able to resist this temptation. As for the two documents, they were just a piece of cake.

The Dragon King's breathing was a little rapid, and he didn't know what to say at this time. Being able to go ashore is the lifelong dream of every seaman. He was a little unsure that happiness would come so suddenly, but he understood that Du Yuesheng kept his word.

The so-called "just a word" is his most precious promise.

Lord Long stood up with a slightly unnatural look on his face, "Now that Mr. Du has spoken, I...".

Before he finished speaking, one of his subordinates staggered in and shouted in panic: "Master, it's bad, there are three anti-smuggling boats approaching!"

The Dragon King's words were interrupted, and he was furious. He slapped the table and said, "Why are the anti-smuggling boats so worried? Isn't the money we pay every year enough to send them away?"

"Something's wrong. This time they are fully armed. The boats are all equipped with iron armor. They keep pushing towards us, and they don't even pay attention to our flags and signal lights!"

The Dragon King was stunned, and quickly put on his coat and ran to the deck with his sister and all his men. Lin Xiaotang and the other three also followed.

The fog is much lighter than before, and the field of vision is much wider. You can clearly see that one nautical mile away, three sailboats with anti-smuggling signs are approaching quickly. The so-called anti-smuggling boats are actually lightly armed sailboats with a displacement of 2

Ten to thirty tons, although it is of little use in naval battles, is more than enough to deal with water thieves and pirates. The Nationalist Government's navy was completely lost in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, the Shanghai waters were handed over to

The Pacific Fleet of the Japanese Navy was managed. At this time, some ships of the British, American and French navies were stationed in Shanghai. Therefore, the scope of management was very chaotic. This was also the reason why pirates and water thieves such as Dragon King were rampant.

The Dragon King took the telescope and looked at it carefully. He looked a little heavy and said, "These bastards, have you become bolder? How dare you come to patrol this sea area."

Dragon King's sister took over, "Brother, something is indeed wrong. Today, the ship is covered with a layer of iron armor. It seems that it is ready to take action. Although it cannot stop the cannonballs, the bullets can't do anything to them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom" from an anti-smuggling boat on the opposite side, and then a cannonball landed not far in front of the Dragon King's ship, causing waves five to six meters high. Everyone had no time to dodge, and they were drenched by the sea water.

Wet. Then the other party called a signal, "Stop the ship for inspection." The Dragon King and his men yelled.

Within a moment, three heavily armed anti-smuggling sailboats surrounded the three ships of Lin Xiaotang and Dragon King. However, it was obvious that only his ship on Dragon King's side had combat effectiveness. The other one and Lin Xiaotang's were just two fishing boats.

, judge the strong and the weak.

The three anti-smuggling boats were obviously very targeted, and they threw hooks one after another, tying the Dragon King's ship and the anti-smuggling boats tightly together. There were more than ten heavily armed men in black uniforms on each boat.

The man who came to be the leader slowly walked onto the deck and faced the Dragon King and others across the boat.

The muscles on the Dragon King's face twitched, "Captain Zhang, why are you interested in visiting my place today?"

Captain Zhang smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaolin, Boss Zhang has asked us to invite you to land, but waiting for you, the Dragon King, will not be easy. You always guard your home and refuse to show your face. Our brothers don't think we have the strength to invite you out, so we have to wait and see."

Got it!"

The Dragon King gritted his steel teeth, reached out and took out his pistol, and put it directly on Lin Xiaotang's temple, "You fucking betrayed me!"

Huoyan and Ma Qixiang also took out their guns and confronted the Dragon King's men.

Lin Xiaotang looked calm and lit a cigarette against the sea breeze, "Please, they are here for you."

The man wearing glasses behind the Dragon King had a flash in his eyes, and while everyone was facing each other with their guns drawn, he quietly approached the Dragon King.

Lin Xiaotang turned his head and immediately caught the approaching danger in the air. He suddenly retreated and swept towards the Dragon King. The Dragon King was suddenly attacked, his hand crooked, and his finger involuntarily pulled the trigger. As his body swayed, just in time

He dodged the stab from the man with eyes behind him.

Lin Xiaotang stumbled, and the bullet flew past his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.

The man with glasses missed the target, and then stabbed the Dragon King with another knife. At this time, the sister of the Dragon King next to him turned her gun and hit the man with glasses accurately on the wrist. He screamed and hurriedly retreated.

At the same time, he shouted: "Do it!"

The bespectacled man led a few people and quickly retreated to the rear deck.

At this time, the people on the anti-smuggling boat facing the Dragon King's ship opened fire at the command of Captain Zhang. The Dragon King's men were shot one after another, and some of them fell straight into the sea.

The Dragon King also understood at this time, and while beckoning his men to fight back, he retreated into the cabin with his sister, Lin Xiaotang and others. Except for the man with glasses, three men in gray cloth military uniforms and their remaining men tried their best to cover the Dragon King and others.

As soon as everyone retreated into the cabin, the men outside could no longer resist. The hull of the anti-smuggling boat was nearly one meter higher than the Dragon King's ship. The other party was shooting from a high position. With the large number of people, the Dragon King's men

There were heavy casualties.

A man in gray cloth military uniform was shot twice, but he still tried his best to pull down the hatch. It turned out that the hatch was actually a three-inch thick steel plate. As soon as the man lowered the hatch, he was knocked down by a hail of bullets.

Before he died, he shouted, "Master, avenge us!" So far, there was no sound from outside.

The Dragon King's eyes were about to burst. He raised his gun with both hands and was about to go out and fight, but he was hugged tightly by his sister and the three remaining subordinates. "Brother, the boss, please keep Qingshan here!"

Lin Xiaotang and others checked the weapons in their hands. Fortunately, they had brought a lot of bullets with them just in case, which was enough to last for a while.

The Dragon King gradually calmed down and looked at Lin Xiaotang with a more apologetic look, "Brother, I'm sorry, is your injury okay?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "It's a scratch, it's okay."

The sound of footsteps boarding the ship was heard on the deck, followed by the sound of bodies falling into the water. Captain Zhang shouted outside: "Boss Long, if you are sensible, please come out and surrender. Boss Zhang has no intention of taking your life. As long as you agree to cooperate with us,

, how about we just pretend that nothing happened, this sea route is still your territory?"

The bespectacled man was slightly startled, approached Captain Zhang, and whispered: "Captain Zhang, Boss Zhang means to kill everyone. This time, the boy surnamed Lin happened to be here too. With one bombardment, we were established."

Two great achievements!

Captain Zhang rolled his eyes at him, "Bai San, please understand, I am in charge here, I don't need you to direct me on what I want to do, you are just a white-eyed wolf paid off by Boss Zhang, don't tell me what to do in front of me!"

"

Bai San's face darkened and he closed his mouth.

Captain Zhang acted out of selfish motives. There were rumors in the world that the Dragon King had been at sea for twenty years and was so rich that he could rival the country. It would be uneconomical to kill him like this. If he could be captured alive, he would not be punished under severe punishment.

If you take out your old money, you can also make a windfall.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. Once the time is up, I'll set up a cannon to bombard the ship. You can think about it yourself!"

Listening to Captain Zhang's shouts from outside, the veins on Dragon King's forehead popped out, and his fists clenched. He turned to look at his sister beside him, his eyes softened, "Yulan, I didn't expect Bai Bai, who has been with me for so many years, to

The three of you can betray me. It seems that today is my deadline. You are the best in water, so just take the three of them through the secret door. Whether you can escape depends on your luck!"

Yulan's voice was choked with sobs, "No, brother, I'm with you, we depend on each other, without you, what's the point of living for me!"

Just as the Dragon King was about to persuade him, Lin Xiaotang's eyes lit up, "The secret door? Where is it?"

The Dragon King pointed to the bottom of the mahogany table, "It's right there, but it can only lead to sea water. People who are particularly good at water may have a chance of survival."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, looked at Huoyan, and Huoyan smiled, "Brother Qi, let me do it. I trained in the Marine Corps of the US Army for a year, so I can't say I'm good at it!"

Yu Lan looked at him sideways, "You're not afraid of getting your tongue slapped when you brag!"

Huoyan smiled innocently and said nothing.

Lin Xiaotang patted the back of Dragon King's hand and said, "Master Long, we have been forced into a desperate situation, how about we make a big bet?"

The Dragon King opened his eyes wide, "What do you mean?"

Everyone worked together to lift the wooden board under the mahogany table. Below is the cabin on the bottom floor. There is a separate partition space under the cabin on the bottom floor, which is connected to the sea water. It seems that this is also the escape passage reserved by the Dragon King.

Everyone left Ma Qixiang and the Dragon King's three brothers to guard the cabin to attract attention from the outside. The Dragon King brothers were proficient in water and understood the construction structure, so they formed two teams with Lin Xiaotang and Huoyan respectively, opened the floor and got into the mezzanine.

in the sea water.

The sea water in winter was bone-chillingly cold, but the Dragon King brothers and sisters didn't notice anything. Lin Xiaotang and Huoyan had to move for a minute before entering the water. Even so, they still felt bone-chilling and unbearable.

Yu Lan took off her coat, revealing her exquisite figure that was hooped by tight clothes. Seeing Huo Yan's slightly eager eyes, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Take it easy, just say hello if you can't hold it anymore, but don't hold me back."

!”

Huoyan's face turned red, then he smiled.

Huoyan took out a few German-made grenades and gave two to Lin Xiaotang, "Brother Qi, take this, this is a good thing, absolutely waterproof!"

Emerging from the bottom of the cabin, the four people divided into two directions and quietly approached the two anti-smuggling boats.

In order not to be noticed, Lin Xiaotang and Dragon King did not dare to take a breath, so they could only slide their hands and feet slowly in the deep water.

Arriving at the bottom of the anti-smuggling boat, Dragon King pointed towards the stern of the boat. Lin Xiaotang understood and followed closely.

When they reached the stern of the boat, the two of them quietly emerged from the water. Lin Xiaotang felt that his lungs were about to explode.
Chapter completed!
