Movie World I Am A King

Chapter 267 Night Attack on Zhou Ye (Part 1)

On a summer night, the bright Milky Way covers half of the sky, under the hazy moonlight. The tranquil Dongjiang River flows quietly, and the water splashes from time to time reflect the starlight in the sky, giving off silvery dots. It rises and falls with the Milky Way in the sky, forming a brilliant contrast.

At this moment, the sound of the bow of the boat beating the waves broke the tranquility of the entire Dongjiang River.

Following the sound, from the lower reaches of the Dongjiang River, a fleet of more than a dozen two-masted sailboats was going upstream. On the brightly lit deck, there were a few English shouts and laughter from time to time. This quiet night spread far and wide...

"Guys, come on!" Keane opened his arms, holding a bottle of rum in one hand and a short musket in the other. After taking a sip of the drink, he shouted: "Come on, paddle, guys, three Ten thousand pounds is waiting for you, don't you want to watch the old hyena and the smiling shark take that thirty thousand pounds from your mouths?"

"No...never!"

"Do you want to watch other lucky bastards chop off that Chinese man's head for 30,000 pounds? Then find a beautiful wife back home in England, and find a few lovers to live a happy life, while you don't have to Doesn't 070 continue to live on the ship for the sake of making a living?"

"No, never, that thirty thousand pounds belongs to us!"

Hearing Kean's voice, the sailors who were struggling to row the oars in the oar cabin roared and tried harder again, and drops of sweat slid down the bulging muscles on their bodies to the deck of the cabin.

"That's the kind of momentum, guys, let's kick that bastard from Huaguo ass, and earn the thirty thousand pounds!"

"Long live Captain Keene!"

"After today's work is done, you can drink as much rum as you want!" Keen was very satisfied with the sailors' enthusiasm, "Come on!"

In fact, what Charlie told them was 60,000 pounds, but when it came to the three of Keane, it became 20,000 pounds...

According to the exchange rate, one tael of silver is actually equal to one pound. Charlie took away 40,000 pounds, and the owners of the three fleets also took out of it...so only 30,000 pounds were left.

However, don't underestimate the 30,000 pounds. In terms of purchasing power at that time, in the UK, the annual salary of a senior skilled worker was only between 30 and 40 pounds.

Just a person's head can be worth so much money. When they played pirates at sea before, they did not kill less, but they never killed such a valuable person. These sailors are all gearing up, waiting to grab the 30,000 pound bonus when they arrive at the place...

Soon, the fleet left Guangzhou Port at six o'clock in the evening, and arrived at a small town by the river in the west of Zengcheng County at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

The water on the bank of the river was shallow, and the three old hyenas were afraid that the boat would run aground, so they simply put down the boat on the boat and sent people to the shore wave after wave.

Soon, the river bank outside the town was full of foreigners wearing tattered clothes. Although their clothes were tattered, their weapons were not tattered.

Basically everyone brought a flintlock and a short knife. At sea, the space on the ship is limited, and the long sword cannot be used at all during boarding battles. On the contrary, the short machete is more popular among these sailors.

"Don't say anything, shut up, everyone, don't disturb the villagers here, our goal is in the county town!" It was Oston, the old hyena with a gloomy face, who spoke, after all, for them, those few Ten thousand pounds is just an appetizer, but what they are most concerned about is the issue of the opium trade.

Charlie had already told them that if King An did not die, the opium trade would definitely be cut off. If the most important part of the triangular trade was snuffed out, then this golden route would not be profitable.

It was simply cutting off the lives of their group of caravans that smuggled opium for a living, so... After discussing with Keene and Eli, Auston decided that he could not accept the money, but this King An must die.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Auston, Keene, and Eli each led their own sailors. A total of 800 people rushed towards the county seat of Zengcheng County. The river bank is not far from the county seat, about two or three kilometers away. look.

Not long after, this group of people arrived at the city gate of Zengcheng County. According to the agreed code, the old hyena asked the sailors to circle around and shake the torch in their hands.

There was a flash of fire on the top of the city, and then it swayed around a few times, and soon the closed city gate creaked open, and a Qing soldier came out.

"Why did you come here?" Feng Si complained, and said, "Keep your voice down! Come with me...I'll take you to the Qi family's mansion!"

Feng Si is a traitor bought by Chang Kun with two thousand taels of silver. His mission is to open the city gate and let those British pirates enter the city.

Otherwise, those British businessmen could only unload the twelve-pound guns on board and attack the city. Not to mention that it was impossible, but there was a lot of noise. What if Zhou Ye noticed and ran away? Since the one hundred thousand taels was spent, and he didn't care about the two thousand taels, Chang Kun simply bought Feng Si, the corporal commander who guarded the city and Qing soldiers.

"OK, we will keep our voices down!" Since the three of Keen often smuggle opium, how could it be possible that there is no translator who understands Chinese? Naturally, someone translated this sentence to the three of Keane, and the three restrained the sailors in a low voice.

Along the way, the more than 800 fully armed sailors followed Feng Si and walked towards the Qi family compound.

The county seat is not big, and within ten minutes, you will arrive at the Qi Family Courtyard.

"Okay, it's none of my business...I'll go first!" Feng Si said as he wanted to leave, but Keen held his head with a gun.

"Don't leave yet, wait until the matter is over before leaving, otherwise you will leak the news, and we will be in trouble?" The translator translated Keen's words to Feng Si. It was an easy money, but unexpectedly something went wrong.

But the situation is stronger than others. Facing Keane's black short gun, Feng Si can only stay where he is obediently, hoping that those foreigners will keep their word and let him leave after the end.

"Don't be in a hurry!" Old Alston stopped Keen who wanted to climb over the wall, "Now let's disperse the people and surround this mansion. We can't make any mistakes. It's a matter of Our business!"

"Okay...you have the final say!" Keane shrugged his shoulders. He knew that in terms of planning, he was not as good as Old Auston, so he simply obeyed, so he ordered his men to walk around the wall, Not too long ago, more than 800 sailors surrounded the house.

"Hey, I'll go first... I hope there are beautiful chicks in it!" Keen said and called two sailors, and he stepped on the ladder built by the sailors and turned over...

"This impatient guy..." Old Alston muttered dissatisfiedly.

And Eli on the side smiled and said, "Isn't this great? Someone has found the way for us!"

Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard a painful groan from the wall, and then Kean was thrown out of the yard...
