Chapter 28
The Baihua Mountain Wharf was in full swing. Other pirate ships not far away not rushed to support immediately, but changed their sails immediately and wanted to retreat.
As the leader of pirates who have been on the sea for many years, being able to survive until now and become a bully, the more important thing they rely on is to judge the situation.
Of course, this is a euphemism, but it is actually cowardly and greedy.
They were all witnesses in the previous bet between Shi Tonghai and Zhang Fu. No matter how clever Zhang Fu was, it was impossible for several pirate leaders to fully believe Zhang Fu.
After all, if you believe Shi Tonghai's words, the worst result is nothing more than losing the opportunity to rob Baihua Mountain's wealth, but their own strength loss is minimal.
But if you believe Zhang Fu, the worst result will be death and the group will be destroyed. Even if you can escape by chance in the end, your strength will be greatly damaged. Maybe one day you will be directly annexed by other pirate forces who have received the news.
Therefore, when he discovered that Baihua Mountain in front of him was really a trap to capture them all, the balance in his heart immediately turned to Shi Tonghai, and believed that Zhang Fu was indeed colluding with Baihua Mountain as Shi Tonghai said, in order to deliberately seduce them to take the bait and catch them all in one go.
When the pirates who saw that they were not good at seeing the situation swam to the vicinity and were salvaged, their ideas were also verified.
In the mouths of these pirates who escaped by chance, Zhang Fu was dodging in a mess. Hu Xiaolin's subconscious attempt to save Zhang Fu became all the evidence. Zhang Fu was the spy.
They were totally cheated.
After finally distinguishing who Shi Tonghai and Zhang Fu were the lying person, several pirate leaders retreated.
From the subordinates who escaped by chance, they already knew that Baihuashan had already made preparations. The monks guarding the courtyard were just a cover. The government had already sent elite troops to ambush them, and they were defeated by the elite troops.
...
"The pirates escaped!"
The movements of the pirate ships in the distance were naturally seen clearly by the monks and guards who had been paying attention to the shore. Even though they believed that as long as they followed Bai Shier's order, they would definitely defeat the pirates and drive them away, they were still so excited that they could not attach themselves when they really saw the pirates escape.
Hu Xiaolin and others, who were still finishing the finale on the pirate ship, heard the cheers from the shore, and noticed the movements of the pirate ships on the distant sea. They were suspicious, but they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unlike the monks and guards who were mostly strong on the shore, they clearly knew the strength of the pirates.
Therefore, even though they quickly captured this pirate ship that had been rushing alone for some reason, they still did not dare to relax in their hearts and prepared to face the upcoming hard battle.
But unexpectedly, they were still finishing the ending, and the pirates retreated so easily.
Hu Xiaolin exhaled a breath of turbid air, and when he felt relieved, he couldn't help but feel strange about the pirates' behavior.
Bai Shier, who also noticed the retreat of the pirates, looked thoughtfully at Zhang Fu, who was still being held by two big guards.
Judging from the fact that Zhang Fu was killed by those pirates before, even for their lives to be killed, perhaps the sudden retreat of these pirates has a great relationship with Zhang Fu.
...
The pirates' ships gradually moved away, and eventually became indistinguishable small black dots in everyone's eyes.
The monks and guards on the shore finally stopped cheering. Under Bai Shier's order, they began to spread out and inspect carefully to see if any of the fish that had escaped from the net took the opportunity to escape to the shore. At the same time, they cleaned up the corpses and blood on the pirate ship whose sails had been burned.
Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin took Zhang Fu to the temple.
This matter seems to be too suspicious, and they need to interrogate Zhang Fu carefully.
...
In the temple, many female relatives, scholars and monks, who had been nervous and fearful since Hu Xiaolin rang the bronze bell, heard slight cheers and intermittent excitement in their ears, but they did not know whether this sound was made by the monks and guards responsible for blocking the pirates, or by the pirates. Therefore, they still hid honestly, not daring to make any noise, for fear of exposing themselves and becoming the dead souls of the pirates under the sword.
Although according to the plan, when the crisis is lifted, the big drums in the bell and drum tower will be ringed to notify everyone, Bai Shier was worried that the pirates would kill the horseback, so he asked the monks not to rush to beat the big drums and see the situation.
But soon, Bai Shier changed his mind and asked someone to inform the monks in the Bell and Drum Tower to beat the drum, informing everyone that the crisis had been lifted and the pirates had escaped and they could walk out of their hiding place.
What could make Bai Shier change his mind was naturally the content that Zhang Fu asked from him that even he felt incredible.
He never expected that in the ambush battle where the dogs fell into the water, there would be a fish that could have been drifting near the pirate ship by chance. He was salvaged and was just rightly salvaged, and the reason for failure was pushed to Zhang Fu's collusion with them. What's more, it actually made the pirate leaders believe it.
Although Zhang Fu used his three-inch tongue and the loopholes in Cai Gan's words to regain a little trust for himself, he did not expect that under Hu Xiaolin's "assistance", he was still murdered, becoming a dead space that wanted to gather the pirates together and then beat them all up.
After hearing Zhang Fu narrate all this with a sad and helpless look on his face, Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin were the first thought that arose in their hearts.
But thinking of the pirates' attack only sent a small ship as the vanguard, and the other ships deliberately hid behind. After discovering that the vanguard was attacked, not only did not rush up to support immediately, but turned around and fled in a hurry, Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin felt that it seemed that only the things Zhang Fu said could have such an effect.
...
When Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin felt in their hearts that this time was really God's blessing, Zhang Fu was unwilling to become a death row prisoner of the Jinyiwei. After exploding all the value, he died tragically, and even his corpse was certainly gone.
And his hope is undoubtedly to allow Hu Xiaolin, the Jinyiwei, who looks like Bai Shier's boss, to get satisfactory benefits, and thus let him go.
However, all of this became a bubble when he learned Hu Xiaolin's true identity and saw Zhu Jinxuan with a cold look on his face.
All that remains in his heart was the coldness that was like the cold winter of 1949.
