Daming pirates

The boat slowly and quietly docked on the shore. There was a crescent moon in the sky, making it possible to see clearly the scenery far away even at night.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the seaside, making a constant roaring sound, which just blocked the sound of the boats docking, making it almost impossible for Yu Xiaotian's boat to attract anyone's attention when it docked.

According to Yu Xiaotian's instructions, not a single lamp was lit on the ship. They relied on Ma Lian and others' familiarity with this area to sail the ship here, and with the help of the moonlight, they docked the ship in this secluded place.

They set off in the evening. After a period of sailing, it gradually became dark. Under the cover of night, the ship quietly approached the land and sailed to this place.

Ma Lian and the others were very familiar with the coastal terrain in this area, and Liu Laoliu knew the situation along the coast of Funing very well, so it was not difficult for them to find a secluded place to dock.

After the ship docked, Yu Xiaotian immediately jumped out of the ship and led Heitou and others to tie the ship to the shore. However, they did not drop the anchor. If there was a situation, they could quickly cut off the cable and drive the ship away from the shore.

.

Yu Xiaotian checked the things on his body, tied the straw sandals on his feet tightly, and found that there were no problems with the water bag, dry food and other items. Then he turned to Liu Laoliu who sent him off and said: "You will leave here soon.

, find a place to wait on the sea, and come back here to pick us up at this time tomorrow!"

Liu Laoliu's lips trembled and he held Yu Xiaotian's hand. After a while, he said: "You must be careful! We will pick you up on time at this time tomorrow!"

Yu Xiaotian smiled, showing his beautiful row of white teeth, nodded and said: "It's okay, this time Uncle Ma and I just went to check the situation of the Jiang family compound first, and to find out whether Erya

It’s locked up in the Jiang Family Courtyard! As long as you’re careful, nothing will happen to you! Uncle Six, don’t worry!”

After saying that, Yu Xiaotian didn't waste any time, said hello to Ma Lian, Hei Tou and Zhao Mazi, then strode ashore towards the landing.

Although this is the first time he has set foot on the mainland since he came to this world, Yu Xiaotian does not feel happy at all. On the contrary, it is a bit like just before entering the boxing ring, adrenaline begins to secrete more and he becomes more energetic.

Got nervous.

This time he was not on land for sightseeing, but instead wanted to go with Ma Lian and the others to check out the situation in the Jiang family compound, and then return to the ship to determine the next course of action.

Even though he has never been a soldier, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how pigs move because he has never eaten pork. Later generations are full of screens and various military-themed novels, from which he also learned a lot about military operations.

Things, so even if they are copying cats and tigers, at least they are more thoughtful than bumpkins like Ma Lian and others!

His plan for landing this time was to take only Ma Lian and a few people who were familiar with the land situation in this area, and first go to Dongshan Village to inquire about the news about Erya. In addition, he wanted to find a place to carefully observe the Jiang family.

The situation in the hospital should be fully prepared for the next action, and then strive to enter the Jiang family in one fell swoop, rescue Erya, find a safe road, retreat to the seaside as quickly as possible, board the ship, and return to the sea.

go.

This plan sounds simple, but it is not very easy to implement. After all, his appearance is different from ordinary people, and he is not suitable to appear in the eyes of ordinary people on land. Otherwise, it will easily alarm Jiang Baihu who controls this area.

If not, even he might be caught in this area.

So he has to be more careful, but Yu Xiaotian has to come. After all, he is in charge of this matter this time. This is very important for him in the future. If he does well, he will become a blockbuster and completely become this group of people.

The backbone of people, but if he fails, he will have to take full responsibility. It will not be easy to gain the trust of these people in the future. Moreover, he proposed the plan. If he does not go ashore, then one thing is in his heart.

The second reason is that he is afraid that this group of people will not accept it. He can never complete this matter by other people's hands, so he has to take this risk.

This area is a relatively remote place along the coast, and is mostly surrounded by mountains and hills. Coupled with the Ming Dynasty's sea ban policy and the impact of early Japanese invasions, the population in this area is relatively sparse. Although it is nominally an important area for preparing for Japanese invasions,

But in fact, the defenses are loose. For Ma Lian and others who have lived here for a long time, finding a passage to enter is not a problem at all.

There are no mountain villages nearby, and there is no Ming army garrison. It is a very suitable place to sneak into. Under the leadership of Ma Lian, everyone quickly found a small path in the mountains, and then used the moonlight above their heads to illuminate it, and quickly

Head inland.

Yu Xiaotian walked silently among a few people, constantly looking around with the help of the moonlight, observing the terrain in this area, and keeping it in mind as much as possible, in case of emergency.

Yu Xiaotian thinks he is pretty good at memorizing roads. Many times, as long as he has walked the same road once, he can still find the same road he took even after a few years. But for him today,

It was a bit difficult. It was surrounded by mountains and the terrain was very similar. It was also nighttime and he couldn't see far. In addition, there were basically no landmarks on the trail for him to remember. So after wandering around for a while, he turned a little. Okay.

There was still a moon in the sky, which allowed him to overcome the steering problem to some extent, but it was obviously a bit difficult for him to forcefully memorize this trail.

Finally, after walking for about an hour, Yu Xiaotian finally gave up the idea of ​​memorizing the road and let the horse face lead the way. At this time, a cloud in the sky blocked the moonlight again, and the world became dark. Yu Xiaotian

Tian and his group had no choice but to start smearing their heads and moving forward one step at a time.

"This is it. Further ahead is Dongshan Village. Jiang Baihu's house is in front. If you can see it, there is Dongshan. When you go up, you can see the Jiang family courtyard. Let's break up here. Zhao and I

Mazi went to find someone to inquire about the news. Heitou will take you up the mountain. We will come to find you tomorrow at nightfall and meet you here. Let’s go back to the boat! You have to be careful and don’t let anyone see you!” After walking for a while, everyone

After going around a forest, Ma Lian suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and whispered to Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian immediately stopped and looked forward through the faint moonlight in the sky. A hill appeared in front of him, and a compound at the foot of the hill was entrenched like a monster.

Under the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see a faint light in the courtyard.

This compound should be the Jiang family compound. Not far away from it, there seems to be a small mountain village hidden in the dark mountains, but there is no light at all.

In this era, there are almost no entertainment items for common people at night. Those with wives may do bed exercises as the only entertainment item. Those without wives can only lie down and eat themselves. Many poor families cannot even light the lights.

As soon as it gets dark, ordinary people turn off the lights early and go to bed to rest, and get up early the next morning to start the day's farming.

Only wealthy families would light lanterns in their courtyards at night, so it was easy to tell who was a wealthy family at night. Jiang Baihuo was one of the most wealthy families within a radius of dozens of miles, so his home not only had a big yard, but also was luxurious.

It was also relatively large. Although it was already midnight, lanterns were still lit in the yard, allowing people to identify his home from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian despised the guy named Jiang. If the Japanese pirates hadn't been greatly reduced in recent years, the Jiang family's behavior would have simply pointed the way to the Japanese pirates.

However, Yu Xiaotian nodded immediately and replied: "Okay! You should also be careful and try not to alert others. If you should spend some money, just spend it and try your best to find out where Erya is being held now! We are here

Don’t worry, we’ll hide in the mountains during the day and won’t be discovered! Tomorrow at nine o’clock in the evening...oh! No, it’s the second watch in the evening, we’ll still meet here! Take care!”

After saying that, Yu Xiaotian and Heitou immediately walked up the hill behind Dongshan Village, while Ma Lian and Zhao Mazi also immediately turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The sea breeze rustled the leaves, and Heitou led Yu Xiaotian up the hill behind Dongshan Village. When they climbed the hill and looked down, it was pitch black at the bottom of the mountain.

There was only a ray of light in the front yard of the Jiang family compound, but other than that, not much else could be seen.

Yu Xiaotian took the black head and found a location on the mountain that was most suitable for observing the Jiang family compound and Dongshan Village below, and sat down. The temperature had begun to become cooler at this time of night, and both of them were covered with dew.

It sticks to the body, which is very uncomfortable, and there are more mosquitoes on the mountain at night. Mosquitoes keep buzzing around them, which makes people very tired. They are covered in bites, but Yu Xiaotian is also strong

Endured it.

Because of the long distance and the fact that the moon was obscured by clouds after midnight, the sky and the earth seemed to be in a big pot, and it was pitch black. Except for the faint light from the Jiang family compound in the distance,

Although Yu Xiaotian tried his best, he could not clearly see the entire Jiang family compound.

After the black head arrived in the middle of the night, he was already drowsy while leaning on the tree. Yu Xiaotian didn't care about him, but climbed up a big tree and looked carefully below. Unfortunately, the light was too dim, making

His efforts were all in vain.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaotian's heart moved. He slid down the tree and slapped Black Head awake. Black Head might have been dreaming. After being slapped awake, Black Head suddenly jumped up. He opened his mouth to shout, but was slapped by Yu Xiaotian.

He covered his mouth and pinned him to the ground.

"Stop sleeping! Just keep an eye here while I go down and take a look! It's important to us whether there are dogs in the Jiang family's courtyard. I'll go outside his yard first and listen. You wait for me here!" Yu

After Xiaotian let go of his hand, he whispered to Heitou.

Blackhead had woken up now and said quickly: "I'll go down with you. It's too dark today. You can't see anything here. It's too dark now. I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you come up! We'd better go together.

So good!”

It makes sense to Yu Xiaotian. It's really dark in the mountains right now, and it's said that there are wolves on the mountains. Fujian is known as eight mountains, one water, and one field. There are many mountains and many wild animals, and the level of development is far less than that of the Central Plains.

, it is indeed a bit dangerous to be alone in the mountains.

So he agreed to Heitou's request, and the two of them packed up and immediately began to walk down the mountain. It took a while before they reached the outside of the Jiang family compound.

Yu Xiaotian listened carefully to the movements in the courtyard. The night was very quiet, and any movement in the courtyard could be heard far away, so this was the best time for them to explore the Jiang family compound.

But it was very quiet in the courtyard, without any sound. It seemed that everyone had fallen asleep. Yu Xiaotian quickly ran under the courtyard wall and looked up. The courtyard wall was indeed very high, about four meters long, and the courtyard wall was very high.

The wall is very strong, and the surface is very smooth. It is impossible to climb without using tools, so don't think you can climb it easily. When the wall enters the courtyard, it can be seen that the Jiang family has considerable financial resources.

Strong, otherwise it would be difficult for them to build such a courtyard wall alone.

Carefully following the background of the sky, Yu Xiaotian observed the Jiang family compound. From his position, he could know that they were now outside the backyard of the Jiang family compound. There was an arrow tower in the corner of the yard. This alone

At that time, there were no servants staying behind. It was pitch dark in the watchtower, without any lights and no sound could be heard.

At this time, Hei Tou also cautiously came over. Probably because the mountain road was difficult to walk and it took too much energy. Hei Tou was a little out of breath. He leaned against the wall of the courtyard and gasped for air. He pressed against Yu Xiaotian's side, in the darkness.

Zhong could only see his eyes clearly. Yu Xiaotian saw his nervousness from Heitou's eyes, so he nodded to him to show encouragement.

Yu Xiaotian was also a little nervous at the moment. After all, their lives were at stake this time. Even if he was very courageous, he could not say that he was not nervous at all. However, he still managed to calm down his emotions. After listening carefully for a while,

He reached out and touched a stone on the ground, raised his arms and threw the stone into the courtyard.

In the quiet night, you could clearly hear the sound of stones falling in the yard, but then you didn't hear any more sounds.

Yu Xiaotian felt a lot more relieved now, thinking that Jiang Baihu was really arrogant. With such a huge family fortune, he didn't even have a dog in the yard. This really helped him a lot.

Yu Xiaotian is not very worried about the sneak attack on the Jiang family compound. In his opinion, as long as they can sneak into the compound and catch the Jiang family off guard, they are very likely to succeed. The most difficult thing is not to alert them.

Before the Jiang family entered the compound, if the Jiang family had dogs, it would be very difficult to easily sneak into their yard.

Although he has many ways to deal with dogs, if he wants to deal with the guard dogs without any movement, it is difficult to do it with his current ability.

Now that it was confirmed that the Jiang family did not have a dog, Yu Xiaotian felt more confident, so he immediately walked around the Jiang family compound carefully with his black head, and carefully observed the Jiang family compound.

After that, he quietly retreated back to the mountain again.

Although he was very worried about Erya at the moment and wanted to immediately climb over the wall and rescue Erya, but because he was still not sure that Erya was in the courtyard now, Yu Xiaotian still held back in order not to alert the snake.

I felt this urge and gave up the idea.

While doing everything, Hei Tou held his breath and did not dare to take a breath. He carefully followed Yu Xiaotian around the Jiang family courtyard. Seeing Yu Xiaotian's boldness and carefulness, Hei Tou was even more excited now.

He had to admire him. From Heitou's point of view, although he was very unconvinced by Yu Xiaotian when he first met him, after so many days of getting to know him, he realized that there were many things about him that were better than him.

Not as good as Yu Xiaotian. Although he felt a little discouraged by this, he still had to admit it.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yu Xiaotian and Heitou both climbed up a big tree, tied themselves to the tree with cloth strips, and covered their bodies with branches and leaves. They both squinted for a while.

When the sun shines on Xiaotian's eyelids through the gaps between the leaves, Yu Xiaotian wakes up from his sleep. At this time, the sky is bright and people's voices have begun to appear at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Xiaotian untied the cloth strips tied to his body, took a sip of water, took out a piece of dry food and ate a little. He turned around and saw that Blackhead was still drooling and sleeping on a big tree branch.

Xiang, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, thinking that this guy is really very nervous, he can sleep under any circumstances. People like Heitou, despite how they usually snort, are actually very serious.

I am not the kind of person who has a big heart.

Pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, Yu Xiaotian began to look down the mountain from a high position...
