C2990 Nightfall Boat (1/2)
There were no bottles of red wine or whisky in the opened wooden box. Instead, it was filled with granules of black gunpowder. The dancer threw a handful of them onto the light, and with a boom, they exploded into flames.
The noisy scene immediately became deathly silent. The dancer grabbed the torch and stood on top of the gunpowder box, making gestures with it to threaten to silence everyone. The musicians also took out their pistols from their robes.
At the same time, hundreds of shadows charged from the beach into the sea. They quickly swam to the two sides of the Jia Lai ship and climbed up the ropes!
Six boxes of black gunpowder s were enough to turn everyone present into a pile of minced meat. The wine that all the sailors drank turned into cold sweat and flowed out.
”Pirates …” Are you pirates? ”Tell me, how much do you want? I'll give you a ransom …”
With a dull thud, the Bedouin Warrior, who had charged onto the deck, slammed the butt of his spear into the back of the captain's head, followed by the appearance of several Chinese faces on the ship.
”Hehe …” ”We don't want any ransom, we want this ship. We'll set sail and land near Giselle, and enter the depths of the eastern desert …”
”Quick, quick, quick...” Tomorrow morning we must disappear into the desert! ”
The Jia Lai was captured, and under the cover of night, she rapidly sailed south against the west coast of Red Sea. When she was almost to the Giselle region, dozens of small boats surrounded her.
All the crew members were tied up and sent ashore. All the cargo was shipped to the shore in different categories. A transport fleet of 600 camels began to transport the treasures.
In the dark night, two thousand Bedouin tribesmen joined in the robbery. At five in the morning, the Kalai had become an empty shell.
The Chinese army made one last round of inspections of the merchant ships. They even used wooden sticks to carefully knock on every inch of the deck in search of possible decks.
Behind the sand dunes on the shore, the captain, first mate, second mate and dozens of older sailors were tied up and tortured.
The torture lasted for a full hour and a half, and they even went through separate interrogation sessions. It was only when the sun began to show in the east that people were convinced that the ship was completely empty and that there were no more hidden relics.
More than two thousand warriors of the tribe and more than three hundred camels were on the deck, carrying nearly a thousand wooden boxes as they entered the deserted desert. Soon, a strong wind had completely destroyed all traces of the ship.
The Fire of the Jia Lai lasted for a whole day and night, and the army of the English and French had no interest in the life and death of a broken merchant ship. By the time the news of the Jia Lai being robbed by pirates reached the Canal Company, four days had already passed!
North Jalalai Mountains! Barrens, barrenness, droughts... Since ancient times, this place had been the place where the hermits trained, while the others lacked interest in this mountain range that didn't even have cattle, sheep, or grass!
Such a arid and barren land was actually the best storage place for cultural relics. In a hidden cave, the people on the left side of the Ghost Eye finally saw the national treasure that they had been yearning for day and night.
La Deng and the other Bedouin Warriors saw a familiar fanaticism from these people, as if the most loyal followers were praying to God.
”I didn't make a mistake …” I really didn't make a mistake … The Yuan Ming Yuan's Fortieth Scene... ”It's really true …”
The left side of his body kneeled on the sand, tears brimming in his eyes as he looked at the forty picture books on the edge of the sand that had been soaked by the sea water.
”So this is how the Great Hall of Light looks like?” Diligence, Career, Jiuzhou Qingyan, Fang Hu Victory … Ancestor, this is the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers, I am truly blessed in this life. To be able to personally see this treasure … ”Sob, sob, sob …”
Who in the capital did not know of the Yuan Ming Yuan? But who would actually know what a Yuan Ming Yuan looked like? Even if you're an official, you don't have the qualifications to enter the garden!
