    The white waves beat against the rocks.

    There are many ships on the sea, and you can't see the end at a glance.

    In the semi-outdoor dock, iron chains and pulleys made harsh friction sounds.  The dock gate is like a huge mouth, and sailors carrying wooden barrels and wooden boxes poured out of the huge mouth, and carried them onto the big ship like a long dragon.  The spare asphalt, asphalt, turpentine in the box, as well as cables, anchor cables, winches, bolts and nails of various materials, in short, almost all valuable things that can be dismantled from the dock and taken away are rolled away.  null.

    There were also some scrapped cargo ships that ran aground in various styles, most of which were looted by the Red Flag Gang and could not be used anymore.  The craftsmen are like swarming ants attached to the ship's frame and keel piers, dismantling the good wood from the ship's body.

    "Old Xu, what kind of flag is on your head now?"

    A bearded man in his thirties, with his legs on the keel and a boat nail, asked the silent bald head opposite.

    "Black Flag, we are going to Annan."

    "Ha, my luck is better than yours. I'm going to Borneo. I have relatives living there, and I heard that life is good."

    The bald old Xu pulled out an iron nail, a little sad: "We are separated this time, when will we meet again?"

    "Spit."

    The bearded man spat out the sand that was blown in by the sea breeze: "Do you think you are going to India? How far is Borneo? Isn't it this sea? Didn't Tianbao leader say that? Within three years, we will definitely come back."

    "I'm afraid I fed mosquitoes in Annan, and it will be three years later."

    Old Xu rolled his eyes at the other party.

    "No, I'm afraid it's more likely that you will be caught off guard by Annan's chick."

    Both of them laughed out loud.

    The entire port was busy, but somehow desolate.

    Zheng Xiu stopped for a while, she used to play in the dock when she was a child, this beach was her paradise.  Once, she buried her long-collected fishbone toys, brass arm rings, conch shells and colorful stones as treasures under a stranded abandoned Manila boat.  As a result, the tide rose in the evening, and even she herself forgot where to bury it.  Tian Baozai led people to dig for most of the night but did not find it.

    Later Mrs. Shi said that the child was weak and buried shallowly, and it must have been washed away by the tide, which made Xiu'er cry. Tian Baozai went to the shallow water stall to touch it for several days, but only brought back a silver arm for Xiu'er.  The ring is the one on her wrist now.

    The pirates boarded the fleet one by one, food, fresh water, some emergency medicines, and daily necessities were already loaded onto the ship, and the bottles and cans that could not be taken away were either broken or discarded.

    The entire island is empty, and there is nothing left.

    In front of the port, the nephew of the supervisor found Zheng Xiu and came over to say hello.

    "Master Xiu, are you here? Tianbao Longtou is waiting for you on the Shenlou boat."

    Only now did Zheng Xiu put her gaze on Nephew's face: "Understood, I'll go right away."¡ª¡ª

    On the top deck of the tall ship, Li Yan sipped the bamboo tip soaked water that people in Lantau Island used to drink, while listening to Sohail's ship statistics report.

    Today's Sohail has a tall waist and a capable speech. He speaks fluent Chinese with a southern Hokkien accent, has two shiny moustaches, and two blue pupils sparkle in his deep-set eye sockets.

    Six years ago, when he was still working in the East India Company, he encountered Tianmu crossing the sea and was captured by the Red Flag Gang. He saved his life because he knew some magic technology.  Because he offended the powerful, Sohail had no future in Europa. Instead, he joined the pirates and made a few windfalls with the help of the tiger skin of the Red Flag Gang.

    "There are about 300 intact ships docked at the port of Lantau Island, but in fact, less than half of them are small ships within six meters. The remaining large ships are traditional pure ships that were eliminated by the East India Company as early as the end of last century.  Sail power. The speed and flexibility are relatively low, but fortunately we have purchased a large number of live seawater turbines from Tianbo over the years, which has greatly improved the performance of the ship. But I must warn you, Tianbao leader."

    Sohail looked serious: "Seawater turbines are a technology that is already facing obsolescence in Europa, and many companies have ceased production. If even the Pasteur laboratory stops producing seawater turbines, the performance gap between our ships and the East India Company will further widen  .It will be even more difficult for us to fight against the government coalition forces in the future.¡±

    "Discontinued?"

    Li Yan put down the teacup.

    Sohail shrugged: "In fact, not only seawater turbines, companies in all living application fields in Europa are not doing well. Our Lantau Island has been the largest buyer of seawater turbines for three consecutive years."

    Speaking of thisflat.  You are distracted by something else.  "

    These words were a bit heavy, Zheng Xiu lowered her head dejectedly, her eyes were red.

    Li Yan took another sip of tea and lowered his voice: "Did you secretly practice the technique of defeating victory all these years?"

    Zheng Xiu was silent.

    "That's it?"

    Li Yan's voice was lowered a bit: "The technique of hating victory harms others and yourself. I can't let you follow in Shi Niang's footsteps."

    "But my mother never said that I am not allowed to cultivate tiredness."

    Zheng Xiu argued in a low voice.

    "Your mother never said it, but I did."

    The atmosphere gradually became tense.

    Zheng Xiu took a deep breath: "I have practiced it before, but don't you also practice alchemy? I don't think there is any difference."

    "The technique of disgusting victory is even more vicious than the technique of Taiping Yin. At the beginning, Ten Niang asked her to pump her spine to soak up blood. If I were not here, would you do it?"

    "If Lantau Island is going to disappear, just do it."

    Zheng Xiu stared into Li Yan's eyes.

    Li Yan was startled, but instead of getting angry, his momentum weakened instead.

    The two of them stopped talking for a while.

    "You sit down first."

    Zheng Xiu turned her face away from Li Yan, but sat down anyway.

    "As I said before, I did something wrong."

    Seeing that Xiu'er didn't respond, Li Yan said again: "I saw that Ruan Zhengwu you sent back to Annan just now."

    Xiu'er raised her head, her face pale.

    "I asked my nephew, Ruan Zhengyuan, who fell into the water just now, is a famous strange man in Annan. He has practiced the magic of mango shadow, and he claims that hurting a shadow can hurt people. Ruan Zhengwu can make a human skin mask, knows bone surgery and phantom sound curse  , Even women and children can be fake. These two people are very famous in the Annan area, and what do they call ghost fox fur?

    "You dare to summon the leader of the red flag behind my back to discuss matters in the Martial Arts Hall. At that time, I thought, if I don't show up, how will you end up? I didn't know until I saw that fox fur. Are you trying to make him pretend to be me?"

    "me¡­¡­"

    Zheng Xiu wanted to say something, but choked up for a long time and couldn't say a whole sentence.  A finger suddenly tapped gently on her forehead:

    "Only this once, not next time as an example,"

    Li Yan sighed, and fiddled with the teacup: "It was great when you were a child. You would be happy if you bought a bunch of candied haws or rattles. It's not easy to coax now."

    After finishing speaking, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zheng Xiu: "Everyone is even."

    Zheng Xiu held the teacup and pleaded softly: "Can you not kill the Ruan brothers?"

    "I didn't say I wanted to kill them, but that fox fur's right hand is gone, it's none of my business. My nephew brought him to see me, who knew he was shaking when he saw me, and I chopped off my right hand without saying a word.  I broke it off and said that I would never disguise myself again."

    After a pause, Li Yan changed the subject: "Before Sishi, you will take this boat to the south to meet Lin Ajin in Lanfang Republic, and Cha Daozi will accompany you. If everything goes well, I will go to you."

    "But, the government"

    "Of course I have a way."

    woo woo woo woo woo~

    The pirate with a red scarf on his head blew a horn more than half a meter long.  The conversation between the two was interrupted.

    More than 200 boats displayed their flags at the same time. The red flag of Lantau Island actually has four colors: black, white, yellow, and blue.

    "It's time. I don't have time to worry about you." Li Yan took out a milky white meat ball and stuffed it into Xiu'er's arms: "Keep it for self-defense. When you get to Borneo, think about it."

    Zheng Xiu frowned, and subconsciously squeezed the meatball in her hand, it looked like a bird and was it a chicken?

    "What is this?"

    Zheng Xiu asked.

    "Uh, alchemy."

    Li Yan stood up and walked to the edge of the fence. The shouts of mountains and tsunamis resounded through the sky, and the slightest dark clouds and the rolling east wind gradually rose.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
