C2989 Passing through the successful Calais (2/2)

The captain was flustered. He quickly cleaned up the warehouse and had the sailors repair the deck as soon as possible. The three damaged wooden boxes were opened, and the porcelain, bronze, and jade artifacts began to be repackaged.

Just when everyone was glad that they did not see the damage, a terrifying thing happened. A box was filled with pictures and books, and the Yuan Ming Yuan's 40 maps were right at the bottom.

Even if the crew didn't know how to protect cultural relics, they knew that paintings were not allowed to touch water, so they quickly sent them to the deck to dry.

I thought this was the Middle East, the Suez Canal of Egypt. The paintings in the sun in China shouldn't attract too much attention. Who would care about such things?

However, it seemed like fate had arranged for him to do so. With just a mere 0.001 seconds, the Ghost Eye on the left side of the capital city recognized the national treasure. Calais' identity was now completely exposed.

Hangzhou stopped moving. They hung up the flag, turned back to the anchorage and pretended to repair it. The left side covered their mouths without making a sound. They were all greedily watching the distant Jia Lai.

All the sentries started to gather at the Suez Bay outside of Suez. Even the cavalry on both sides of Red Sea had appeared.

In the vast sea of sand, the Bedouin Tribe ambushed fifteen thousand valiant cavalrymen. They hid in the desert, waiting for their master's orders.

La Deng and the others would definitely not make a move in the canal area, this was English and French's territory, the moment they make a move, the local garrison would definitely appear.

The ambush was at the exit of Suez Bay, Sakil Island!

The Jia Lai ship had no idea that she had entered the Bedouin's encirclement. They did not know that on the sand dunes on both sides of the dark blue seawater, there were many natives wearing yellow camouflage robes staring at them.

The location of the ship was being transported to the next stop at any time using fast horses. Even if it was late at night, the herdsmen could use lighting signal to communicate with it.

There were a lot of fishermen along the shore of Suez Bay. The cargo ships that the boats were looking forward to were selling dates, fruits, fresh fish and other specialties … The Jia Lai was one of the ships that was heavily cared for.

In the busy and narrow Suez Bay, the ship's speed simply could not increase. It took a full 48 hours for the Jia Lai to finally be able to see the surface of the Red Sea.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a few boats passed by on Sharkil Island, and the veiled dancers came up to them and offered them their water fumes and their belly dances.

There were even female dancers who were secretly selling them prohibited spirits!

The Jia Lai had really let her guard down. It was possible that the few days they spent in Suez Canal were too tense, they had been afraid of exposing themselves in front of the British all day long. Now that they had seen the surface of the Red Sea, these people were suddenly enthralled.

Despite the captain's objections, the rest of the crew had requested for the dancers to board the boat with high votes. They were really holding their breath during the long voyage!

One by one, the female dancers, whose faces were covered by veils but whose bellies were bare, boarded the boat. Boxes of liquor smuggled in from Europe were lifted up onto the deck by ropes.

After the music started, the dancer began to twist her hips. The scent of hormones filled the hot air!

In a short while, more than ten bottles of alcohol were consumed. When the dancers were about to take out the wine from the wooden box, countless figures suddenly appeared on Sharmie Island, taking advantage of the darkness to get closer.
