Chapter 29 Mantis Catching Cicadas 3

Yan Siqi's subordinate sent to escort the ship this time is another person he trusts most. His name is Chen Zhongji. Chen Zhongji is loyal and steady. He has always been trusted by Yan Siqi. Many things in Yan Siqi's hands have been handed over to Chen Zhongji to take care of. Chen Zhongji has also lived up to Yan Siqi's trust and has always done things very well. In place.

This time, he wanted to transport so much silver to Nanri Island. Yan Siqi was not sure to give this matter to others, so he asked Chen Zhongji to go to Nanri Island in person and take these three boats to Nanri Island.

Originally, 40,000 taels of silver, converted into a modern ton, that is, more than a ton of weight, can be easily loaded on a boat, but Yan Siqi still decided to be more careful and put the silver separately on three ships. Once one ship has an accident on these three ships, there will be most of the silver left, that is, don't The reason why eggs are placed in a basket.

In addition, Yan Siqi also selected more than 100 men from his men and went to Nanri Island with the ship. A boat could not carry so many people, so he sent three ships to travel together, which can increase some safety factors.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they left the stupid port, they would be targeted. Even if Chen Zhongji was sophisticated and cautious, they could not find that Zheng Python's fleet had sharpened their knives not far away and waited to attack them.

Chen Zhongji stood at the stern of the ship and commanded three ships to slowly walk against the wind on the sea and sailed to Nanri Island. After gradually not seeing Taiyuan Island, Chen Zhongji ordered everyone on the ship to be on alert in case of accidents.

"Chen Dangjia, where will the sea wolf's fleet pick us up?" The shipkeeper who followed the ship asked Chen Zhongji. In order to keep it secret, before they came out this time, these people did not know their detailed plan, but only had a general understanding. After arriving here, the shipkeeper asked Chen Zhongji.

"Don't worry, it hasn't been long since we came out. It hasn't been noon yet. According to the agreement, Chen Xun went over and asked the person to send a ship to pick us up. There is still some way. I guess we can meet them after noon." Chen Zhongji looked at the sea and replied with his opponent.

"Then don't worry! After all, we have shipped so many hard goods this time, so it's better to meet them earlier!" The ship's master said.

"Yes! But it's not far from us, and Zheng Yiguan's ship often appears in this area. This time, the big owner didn't want people to know about our deal with the sea wolf, so he didn't ask them to send a fleet directly to pick us up, but waited for us halfway to prevent Zheng Yiguan's group from being on guard! Don't worry, I guess if they come, there will be another way to meet them!" Chen Zhongji comforted his subordinates.

"This Zheng Yiguan is really a bastard. The big head is so good to him. As soon as this guy developed, he immediately changed his face and didn't pay attention to the big head and us! What a bastard! If I had known that this man was such a person, I would have killed him earlier!" The shipkeeper said with hatred.

"I know people, but I don't know my heart, and I know the power of the road! Zheng Yiguan was not such a person at the beginning, and the big guys didn't realize that he would become like this! This is probably what people say that scorpions don't sting people! Now that this one has abundant wings, our temple can no longer accommodate him!" Chen Zhongji used to have a good relationship with Zheng Yiguan and always regarded Zheng Yiguan as a brother. After Zheng Yiguan came back, he became arrogant and domineering, he was also very disappointed, so he also complained about Zheng Yiguan.

As they walked as they spoke, they walked a distance on the sea. Suddenly, the bucket on the mast pointed to the position in front of them on their left and shouted to Chen Zhongji and the people on the boat, "It seems that there are several boats on the left in front of us!"

After hearing this, Chen Zhongji immediately went to the left side of the ship and looked at the sea in front of the left, but he did not see the ship, so he said, "Look carefully, is it the sea wolf's boat!"

Shangdou shook his head on the mast and said, "It's too far to see the flag on their ship, huh? There are a few more, and they are coming towards us! There are ten... twelve!" This Shangdou mathematics is definitely not very good. I counted the number of these boats twice before I counted them.

Chen Zhongji was suddenly a little nervous, but he comforted himself. The ship may be a sea wolf's ship, so he looked up at the sky. Today, the weather is not too sunny. There is a thin cloud in the sky. The visibility of the sea is not as good as when it was sunny. The sun is blocked by thin clouds, but he can still tell the position of the sun.

At this time, it is approaching noon, but it is not yet the appointed time. According to Yan Siqi's instructions to Chen Xun, the sea wolf's fleet should be a little farther away.

But Chen Zhongji thought that maybe the sea wolf's fleet couldn't wait for them and came this way, so he met them in advance.

So Chen Zhongji turned around and ordered all the crew to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for precautions, and uncover the oilcloth covered on the ship, expose the cannons below, and make all preparations.

"Fmoke! Let's see if they are the fleet of sea wolves!" Chen Zhongji ordered his men on the ship.

According to the agreement, if Chen Zhongji's ship can't find the sea wolf's fleet when it arrives in the predetermined sea area, so as not to miss it, it can smoke. As long as the sea wolf's fleet is nearby, you can see their smoke and come to meet them. In addition, if you meet the fleet, you can also smoke to confirm the other party's Identity.

So Chen Zhongji's boat soon emitted a thick wolf smoke, and the black smoke rolled into the sky. It condensed and rose high, and then it was gradually blown away by the sea breeze.

At this time, Shangdou has been staring at the more than a dozen ships that are gradually coming, and I feel a little uneasy, because the posture of the more than a dozen ships that are coming over is a little wrong. After getting closer, I can't see any flags or font size on the ship. I can't tell their identity, and the formation of these ships doesn't look like It came to greet them, but it looked at them like a big net.

So Shangdou quickly reported his observation to Chen Zhongji below. Chen Zhongji had also seen more than a dozen boats at this time. At this time, he had ordered people to smoke, but he did not see the cigarette response on the other party's boat, and Chen Zhongji's face suddenly changed.

"Turn the rudder! Sailing, run to our house quickly. These boats are coming for us!" Chen Zhongji shouted loudly.

Yan Siqi's men on the three ships suddenly became nervous and panicked. They all did this. The experience was old-fashioned, and they immediately realized that they were afraid of trouble today.

The other party came with more than a dozen boats, and they only had three boats. Although each ship had a lot of manpower, it was impossible to compare with these enemies. With this move, they must not even have any chance of winning, and these dozen boats suddenly appeared here, which was basically for the silver on their ship. Zi came.

So that is to say, someone showed their news and caused someone to come here to wait for them to rob the silver from their ship. Then who this person is? Immediately, the people on the ship thought of a person, so they immediately scolded.

The three ships quickly turned their rudder and adjusted their sails, turned the bow again, and headed towards the stupid harbor where they came out. All three ships raised their sails at the same time and ate the wind, intending to turn around and escape back to the harbor.

But they are still a little slow, and these three ships came out this time, carrying more people, and also loaded a lot of silver and some local products for thanks given by Yan Siqi to Yu Xiaotian. All three ships are in a heavy load state. Although the sails have been raised, it will still take some time for the sailboat to speed up.

The dozen boats are now like a big net, covering their buttocks, and two other boats appeared from the front of the three boats and blocked them.

Zheng Python can be said to be a hit this time. When he led the fleet to grab the front, he had prevented the three ships from turning around and escaping after finding them, so he left two boats behind to block their way in advance.

The three ships brought by Chen Zhongji were in big trouble. There were traffic jams in the front and chasers in the back, leaving them no chance.

Chen Zhongji also realized that he was afraid that they could not escape back to Bengang today, so he pulled out his waist knife from his waist and shouted at the members of the three ships: "Brothers! It seems that we can't fight today! Although we haven't seen who the comer is yet, you can roughly guess it!

You all know what is loaded on these three ships! Since these people are blocking us here, they are going to rob us of our money!

But don't be lucky. These people will never leave you alive to reveal their identity! So today, we have no choice but to fight with them!

Copy the guys and fight with them! All the ships immediately set off smoke, so that the fleet in charge is not far from here, and we may not be finished!"

Chen Zhongji's reaction speed was not slow. Even if he understood why these ships blocked them here and immediately figured out the consequences, he was worried that once these men took action in a moment, they would not fight hard to survive, so he immediately informed the consequences to these men.

Hearing this, Yan Siqi's followers on these three ships felt that what Chen Zhongji said was reasonable. These people are very likely to come. They are Zheng Yiguan's people. Zheng Yiguan has not torn his face with their big boss Yan Siqi now, so he can block them here by such means. If he is successful, he will never stay. Live to give people a handle and a solid mouth.

Therefore, as long as they fall into the hands of these people, even if they surrender in the end, these people will never leave them alive. In the end, they will definitely be slaughtered and thrown into the sea to feed fish. I'm afraid that even their boats will not be left behind, and they will definitely be dragged to a deep water area where no one passes.

So if you don't work hard today, you have to fight. Even for your own life, you have to fight. If you fight, there is still a glimmer of life. If you don't fight, you will die!

Yan Siqi's men on the three ships scolded one by one, picked up their weapons one after another, and made a posture to fight to the end.
