The shot earlier seemed to have disturbed Mao Haifeng, it forced Lu Yi to move and finish things quickly, no need to hide from them anymore. After killing the guards, Lu Yi used the gun to fire at the door, kicking down the wooden door. The objects inside did surprise him.
The tightly guarded room was not the ammunition storage, but it’s a room filled with food, meat, and salted fish. It seems that defending the Ming soldiers has been very difficult for Mao Haifeng, because the food he has smuggled seems very limited. At this point, they’re only eating to survive.
There were a lot of pirates guarding this place. Lu Yi questioned the formation arrangement, why would he send eight pirates to guard a food storage?
Lu Yi sighed, although this food storage is very important to Mao Haifeng, it’s practically useless to him. Lan Daoxing’s calculations were wrong, this meant he needed to start over and look for the ammunition storage.
Before the pirates arrive, Lu Yi throws a torch into the food storage, and then runs away.
According to Mao Haifeng’s orders, pirates are spread around in every corner. Lu Yi ordered his troops to spread out in groups, each group consisting of three people, following different orders, but everyone’s main priority was to find the ammunition storage, and destroy it.
After carefully listening to Lu Yi’s order, the soldiers quickly scattered themselves. Lu Yi jumped on the roof of the building, using the darkness of the night shield himself, then lightly jumped forward, looking left and right for the ammunition storage.
Sounds of soldiers and pirates fighting can be heard everywhere, and Lu Yi is starting to get anxious because the number of his men are slowly dying down, especially if this battle drag out longer and if General Yu’s men don’t get here in time, the soldiers here will die. Looking at the current situation, Mao Haifeng seems to have sent his pirates to strengthen the defense in front of the mountain. He’s wondering what’s happening over at Lan Daoxing right now.
A group of pirates rushed over, they spoke in Japanese. Lu Yi can faintly hear it: There’s two more canons. Lu Yi immediately stopped thinking, and followed the pirates.
The pirates moved very fast, almost as if they were running, flying. It was difficult to keep himself hidden, as he’s chasing after them from a high place.
As Lu Yi was jumping from one roof to another, several cold sharp flying weapons flew towards him, but luckily his reaction was fast enough, carefully moving his body around the flying weapons and successfully dodging them. Unexpectedly, when he just landed on one of the roofs, a few bullets were headed his way, and before he could react, his right shoulder was hit, and his body fell down from the roof.
Seeing that he was shot, several pirates ran towards the place where he fell, once they arrived, there was only blood on the ground but no one was there.
At this time, Lu Yi endured the pain, and continued to chase after the pirates. To avoid leaving a blood trail, he ripped off the hem of his clothes, and tied it around his wound. As he followed them, he saw the group of pirates running toward the end of a cliff, and near it was an old stone building.
In front of the building there were two guards, compared to the food storage, the number of guards was very different. Lu Yi thought to himself, and his heart became a little doubtful ‘If this is the ammunition storage, then there’s too little defense. Mai Haifeng isn’t afraid that people will easily attack this place?’
As he’s being doubtful, he noticed in the corner of his eyes, the leader issued an order, and the guard listened to it for a while, and then nodded their head. Afterward, they make way for him to enter by splitting into two sides, left and right.
Lu Yi’s hearing is very good, he can hear the sounds of the door opening, the wheels of the door are creaking. It was only then that he realized this building’s door required the strength of almost ten people to push it open. This must be the reason why Mao Haifeng didn’t put too many guards here.
The door was made of stone, the hinges twisted and cracked. As they were opening the door, their whole body clung to it, slowly pushing it inward, until a small gap was seen, enough to allow a single person to pass through. In order to get the two canons through the door, they need to keep pushing the door open a bit more.
While pushing with all their might on the door, a shadow flew past them, before they had time to respond, the person had already entered the storage.
“Who was that!?”
The pirates were very surprised, two people immediately ran inside, only a bang sound was heard, and then one by one, each pirate was kicked out of the warehouse, falling to the ground moaning in pain.
Outside, the pirates are in chaos. They quickly pulled out their firearm, intending to load the gun with bullets but was immediately stopped by the pirate leader.
“You can’t use anything that can cause fire!”
In the ammunition storage, apart from firearms, there are also boxes of gunpowder. If a fire where to start here, you can’t imagine the consequences.
Lu Yi’s injury bled more than before due to running all the way here and fighting the pirates, but despite the pain, he examined the room carefully. Mao Haifeng had to carefully analyze the current situation. It’s built of stone along the steep slope of the cliff, and there are no windows, except for two at the top that provide ventilation.
Outside came another pirate who tried to enter, Lu Yi took out a dagger, threw it directly at him, and it landed right on the pirate’s neck.
“If you guys still dare to come in here again, I will blow this place up!” Lu Yi said in Japanese.
The pirates outside immediately froze, they immediately shouted inside: “If you dare to blow it up, you will die!”
***
At this time, at the button of Cengang’s mountain, the Ming soldiers are slowly losing their lives because of the traps set by the pirates. On the mountain, Lan Daoxing and other troops are also fighting.
***
More and more blood was flowing down his arm, Lu Yi’s face was expressionless, he opened a box of gunpowder, and started to fill the gunpowder in the gun cannon….
Bang! Bang!
Two loud noises were heard and then there was an explosion sound. The explosion severely injured the pirates who were outside of the storage, causing them to flee several meters. There were stone fragments scattered everywhere, and the whole building was demolished.
*****
Bang!
Jinxia’s head fell on the roof, instantly snapped out of her tiredness. After rubbing her forehead, she looked up. Cen Shou glanced at her briefly and said: “If you can’t stay up late, why bother coming here?”
After rubbing her forehead for a while, Jinxia felt something wet, when looked at her hand, it turned out it was blood. She said in annoyance: “Maybe it’s because I couldn’t sleep properly these past few days. I used to be able to stay up until morning….What time is it now?”
“It’s almost three quarters (11-1pm).”
Just as Cen Shou finished speaking, a gong from the night watchman was heard from afar. From his pocket he took out a small porcelain pot, handed it to her: “Use this to freshen up.”
Jinxia accepted it, took the lid off and then sniffed it, a faint menthol smell went up her nose, clearing her mind and nose, it actually made her feel awake. She closed the bottle, then gave it back, and said enviously: “Good stuff huh? Indeed JinYiwei is always prepared.”
Cen Shou didn’t take it back, uncomfortably said: “Just keep it, I don’t use this stuff.”
“Looking down on people, huh? I usually don’t have to use it either.”
Jinxia didn’t want people to think LiuShamen was inferior to Jin Yiwei, she pushed it back to him.
Inevitably, Cen Shou accepted it, after a while, he said in a low voice: “I heard that the Emperor passed down the order to dismiss all Yu Dayou’s troops.”
“Yu Dayou?” Jinxia was silent for a moment, quickly replying, “Cengang! This has something to do with Lu Daren?”
“Not sure, but there are rumors saying that this was because Young Master reported their alleged hidden crimes. Initially his majesty gave them one month to seize Cenggang, but before the deadline was up, Yu Dayou was removed from his position.”
While living in the Capital, Jinxia heard a lot about Yu Dayou from Yang ChengWan. Jinxia immediately shook her head: “Not being able to seize Cengang, must’ve frustrated General Yu, how could he harm or commit crimes…He’s not that type of person.”
Upon hearing how much she believed in General Yu, Cen Shou fell silent.
“Shh… there’s a movement.” Jinxia signalled him to look down the small street.
Inside the small street, there was a soft creaking sound coming from the door. Dong San and his wife were seen moving a wooden crate. The crate seemed quite heavy, both of them seemed to use quite a bit of energy when pushing it.
The wooden crate was moved under the big tree. Dong San sent his wife away, as for him, he stood alone under the tree guarding the crate. While waiting, he took out a cigar and smoked.
Night time, the smoke coming from the cigar was clearly seen.
When he was filling his cigar for the third time, all around him came the sound of footsteps, not only one, striding quickly towards the large tree.
“Leader! Leader! Leader…. ”
Jinxia silently muttered: It turns out that Dong San is a gang leader.
From every street came close to twenty people, various kinds of clothes they wore, Jinxia continued to observe, there are a variety of people in this group, from street vendors to servants, or any available roles.
After the people gathered under the tree, Dong San lowered himself to open the wooden crate.
It’s the perfect time to catch them all! Jinxia turned to look at Cen Shou, it seems that he has the same idea as her. As soon as Xie Xiao, who was hiding around a big tree, heard a whistle sound from Cen Shou, everyone ran toward the pirates. As dozens of small paper bags flew out, pirates were falling to the ground.
The paper bag was torn apart, a red yellow powder was thrown out, and smoke surfaced around them.
The attack was too sudden! Dong San instinctively wanted to grab a firearm to defend himself, but his body wasn’t reacting the way he wanted to, and suddenly felt really weak. After the smoke dispersed a little, his subordinates also fell down, as if they didn’t have any strength to stand up.
couldn’t keep up when he suddenly fell limp, after the smoke dispersed a little, his subordinates also fell down, as if they didn’t have the slightest strength to stand up.
Xie Xiao, who had been holding the antidote in his mouth jumped down from the tree, he reached out his hand to open the wooden crate, inside was filled with firearms, he chucked: “Indeed, it is weapons. I wasn’t wrong at all.”
The helpless Dong San was really shocked when he saw Xie Xiao, his face went from shock to hatred. He fiercely glared at Xie Xiao.
Jinxia and Cen Shou also jumped down from the roof of the house.
“The antidote my aunt gave us is really useful.” No need to start a blood bath to take these pirates down, Jinxia was very satisfied, “Too bad that this antidote isn’t easy to make, or else we could’ve made a little more.”
Dong San followed the voice and saw Jinxia, after a moment of silence, finally remembered who she was.
A little child was in the hand of Dong San’s wife when Cen Shou went to his house to capture her. He can only follow her from behind, as he cannot tie or cuff her.
A group of officers approached, pulling the child away; the wife, unable to deal with their strong arms, screamed until she became pale. When the sleeping child was suddenly taken from his mother’s arms, he cried loudly.
“Don’t touch my son!”
Dong San’s body is weakened, therefore he’s unable to move at all. He’s laying on the ground, unable to find his strength, he could only scream.
After all, Jinxia is a girl; when she hears a child crying so loudly, she pity Dong San’s family, she rushes over and takes the child from the soldier. She carried her little brother frequently when she was a child; therefore, once the child was in her hand, she was very careful, gently patting him on the back, and his mouth made a chuckle sound as he became relaxed.
“First, bring all the pirates back, then question them individually.” The soldiers came forward and arrested all the pirates and the wife. They then lifted the wooden crate, which contained the weapons, and they all went to prison together.
Jinxia followed them to the prison, and after locking up the wife in a women’s prison, Jinxia untied her hands, and returned her child to her. The child who was forcefully taken from her, now has returned unharmed, Dong San’s wife was very grateful and couldn’t stop thanking Jinxia.
