C123 life-saving (2/2)

Zhao Deji heaved a sigh of relief, and Xu Caizhi nodded his head secretly. Since the King Qin didn't want to make things difficult for Hua Rong, then he and the rest could be saved. Sure enough, Zhou Wu said: ”King Qin invites everyone onto the island, it is a peaceful and safe trip. I am afraid of Golden Army's sneak attack …”

Xu Caizhi anxiously asked: ”How far is Golden Army from here?”

”The Golden Army has colluded with a group of pirate forces here. We are not sure for now.”

Zhao Deji was even more panic-stricken, secretly resenting that the Pirate Head who had put on airs had not come back for a long time.

After anxiously enduring for the whole night, on the second day, everyone realized that Zhao Deji's eyes were completely red and his lips were filled with blisters. Although the Kanggong had served him carefully over and over again, to no avail, he still could not rest at ease.

The father and son duo of Lin Zhijie protected him inseparably, and the dozens of sailors on the boat had also formed a temporary escort team. Zhao Deji looked at this temporarily assembled army, full of feelings but not the slightest feeling of safety.

Early in the morning, he came to the seaside to look.

From afar, they heard the sound of a horn. It was actually a few dozen warships roaring and rushing over, led by a tall five-tooth warship, raising a huge sail, on it hung a huge flag with the word ”Qin” written on it.

Zhao Deji's defense time was short, and the sea defense general had already passed away at that time. However, he was not unfamiliar with this character.

Just that, how could the power of the King Qin extend to this region of the sea?

And now, the leader of the pirates had come. Was it a blessing or a curse?

As the boat slowly approached, everyone held their breath, even Zhou Qi was flustered: What exactly will the King Qin decide?

Zhao Deji nervously watched as an extremely tall and sturdy man stood on the boat. He was dressed in pirate robes and wielding a big blade, he looked as if he was a majestic lion king. Beside him, the petite girl that followed him was Hua Rong.

Zhao Deji saw it clearly, so he shouted first: ”Oh my god, King Qin is Qin Shangcheng?”

Kanggong was ecstatic, his voice was sharp and thin, ”It's him, it's Qin Shangcheng.”

Zhao Deji's heart tightened. He didn't think that this leader of the great pirates would have snuck into the army for so long, without him noticing at all. He even wanted to reward him, no wonder he refused.

What was his purpose in sneaking into the military camp?

Was it really to find Hua Rong?

Before he could recover his wits, he heard the King Qin shout, ”Everyone, quickly board the ship. There are traces of the Golden Army in front of you.”

The two words ”Golden Army” were like a death warrant. Zhao Deji subconsciously strode towards the boat.

Everyone immediately went into battle mode.

Hua Rong jumped off the boat and ran over: ”Shangguan Family, don't worry, Golden Army won't be able to catch up for a while.”

Zhao Deji was still in a panicked state, and King Qin said loudly: ”Zhou Qi, bring everyone up onto the five-tooth warship.”

Zhou Qi knew what he meant. The Lin Family's merchant ship had been damaged by the storm, he nodded, and with his intelligence, Lin Zhijie stepped onto the boat first. ”Your majesty, get on the ship first.”

Hua Rong also said softly, ”Shangguan Family, go up.”

Although Zhao Deji could not trust King Qin, he believed in Hua Rong. Seeing her dressed entirely in martial attire, with a bow and arrow in his hand, and with his whole body wary and protecting him, he felt at ease, ”Rong Er, are you alright?”

”I'm fine.”

When the King Qin heard him call out ”Rong Er,” he became extremely furious and said in a stern voice, ”Everyone, don't dilly-dally. The Bird Golden Army is here …”

Everyone was fighting to get on the boat. In his panic, Zhao Deji realized that other than the Lin Family sailors, the King Qin pirates that were going in and out of the boat were actually not messing around at all with their training.

No wonder he's been around for years. He did not ask Hua Rong nor did he ask King Qin. He only followed Xu Caizhi and climbed onto the deck. After a while, he saw that there was a boat following them from behind.

He then understood that the King Qin was not lying. He believed that the Golden Army had found them after a few days of searching. He looked at King Qin's pirate army of less than 200 people, and then looked at Lin Zhijie's few dozen sailors, his heart went cold. With less than 300 people, how could they resist the Golden Army's large army of tens of thousands? Even if the ships were not enough and they didn't carry much, there were at least tens of thousands of pursuers. How could he resist them?

He gripped the side of the ship tightly, his face pale. Could it be that he, like his father and brother, was unable to escape this calamity?

He turned his head, and saw Hua Rong standing beside him, engrossed with her work, holding onto her bow and arrow, her heart at a loss. She muttered: ”Rong Er, maybe heaven's will is this ….”

Hua Rong saw that he was completely dispirited, and anxiously said: ”Shangguan Family, no need to be like this! Golden Army still had some time. As long as we can take a detour and leave, and travel a few more laps, we will be able to reach the Zhenjiang … ”

”I'm afraid that the Zhenjiang has already been occupied by the Golden Army. Furthermore, the Golden Army is about to catch up … ”

”Someone was helping Shangguan Family along the way. Even if it was a huge storm, they were able to avoid it. Don't worry, this time they will definitely take advantage of the calamity.”

When Zhao Deji heard her comforting words, he remembered how he had escaped during the night and met with the old fisherman. In addition to Lin Zhijie's protection during the storm, his power had become even more dangerous compared to the previous two days with the King Qin. He nodded with great difficulty and composed himself, ”Let's hope so. If we are able to escape from this calamity, all of the people on the boat will be my Great Merit. ”

Hua Rong was also afraid in her heart, but she smiled slightly: ”They will definitely be loyal to the Shangguan Family.”

Zhao Deji did not dare to trust King Qin completely, but when he saw Yue Yang walk over, he looked at him like a tiger stalking its prey. Suddenly, he thought of the wedding dress that Hua Rong was wearing when she was escaping, which made him even more confused. He smiled wryly, knowing that he wouldn't be able to join in the fun no matter what.

To remove King Qin's guard, he immediately stood up: Qin Shangcheng, what's the situation now?

The King Qin's face was gloomy: ”The Dog Golden Army probably colluded with those pirates, otherwise, they wouldn't have caught up so quickly. If that's the case, then it's not easy to deal with. ”

”Is there anyone in Golden Army who is proficient in water battles?”

Hua Rong said: ”I heard that there is a Chinese general under Jin Wushu, called Han Chang. He is from the south and is familiar with water battles.”

”It was this Han Chang that colluded with those pirates. The pirates are called Wang Erqi according to the rankings, and I have sent people to attack him but was unable to capture him …”

Before King Qin could finish his words, he suddenly said, ”Not good, Wang Erqi is also familiar with that fast tunnel. If we were to arrive early with our troops, we would be attacked from the front and back …”

Zhao Deji was initially relieved, but King Qin waved his hand and shouted, ”Speed up! All ships move at full speed, we must reach the tunnel before nightfall!”

Immediately, another group of pirates signaled them to get in touch. They were wailing and wailing.
