Chapter 691 Responding at Sea ([-])
"Could it be related to the Five Elements Banner Alliance? They control the vast sea area including the offshore. The former East China Sea Navy was not as powerful as the pirates. They were beaten as soon as they went out to sea. If they lost too much, they lost their morale. They simply stayed on land and let the pirates grow stronger. ?”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But how did the merchant ship come in?"

"Maybe they paid tolls to the pirates?" Zhao Lin gave a reasonable inference.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Qi Ke shook his head speechlessly, "Compared with this, I have always thought that pirates are more threatening, but in fact they are not. It is pirates who are more threatening? The behavior of pirates is more like playing autumn wind, going ashore to rob and kill people Just go away, the pirates control the offshore waters all the year round, it is the real shaking of the country, the main responsibility of the East China Sea Navy should be to wipe out the offshore pirates, guard the coastline, and protect the maritime trade.”

"You're just a deputy village chief, you just need to know these guesses in your heart, don't tell the outside world."

"I know, I'm just figuring it out by myself." Qi Ke naturally wouldn't break his mouth, and his eyes fell on the map of Hekou Bay, "If we are really taken to Hekou Bay to go ashore, how far are we from here now? When we go ashore, return from there. How far is the village?"

Zhao Lin immediately gave a new route map, drawing a line on the sea and a line on the land, and Qi Ke carefully studied the land route.

Hekouwan belongs to the neighboring town of the neighboring town, called Liangshui Town. After the river channel and wharf of Qianhusuo are repaired, boats can enter Jiuzhi River and arrive at Liangshui Town after leaving Qianhusuo.

But now the shortest waterway is impassable. If Qi Ke goes ashore from Liangshui Town, there is no convenient waterway and he can only go by land, and he will have to walk for several days to come back.

"The inconvenient transportation is really troublesome." Qi Ke put the tablet on his lap aside, hugged the king a little irritably, sucked the wolf to relax, and the king turned his head and licked her face.

"And we've got to actually get back on this journey."

"That's right, there will definitely be a returning army by my side." Qi Ke subconsciously touched her buttocks, she felt a little pain in her buttocks now, and returning by land, whether riding a horse or a carriage, would be fatal.

Zhao Lin patted Qi Ke's shoulder sympathetically, "I can't help it, just grit your teeth and bear it."

"No! There is another way!" Qi Ke never resigned to her fate, and she really had a new idea in a flash of inspiration, and she sat up straight suddenly.

"Ok?"

"How can we forget about the ship repairers? Four of the eight small boats have been repaired, and the remaining four have not been moved. Let them drive the boat to send the soldiers to pick up the boat at sea. Why don't they take us back by the way? Soldiers We got on the boat and don't care what wharf they drive the boat to, but we're going ashore anyway."

"Hey, that's a way too."

"Right, we all fell into a misunderstanding just now. We forgot that once the army learns that there is a newly acquired trophy ship at sea, they will definitely try their best to control the ship in their own hands as soon as possible. How could we let us drive the ship to the designated ship? The location, I’m not afraid that the pirates on board will rise up and fight back to take back the ship and leave in style? There are only three of us, one wolf and one eagle, guarding a ship of captives, whether we can spend the night safely is a big question mark.”

"Although this is a good way, there is another realistic condition that you must not forget."

"What?"

"The Bai family army wants to pray that we can spend the night safely, and we have to pray that the soldiers sent by the Bai family army to meet us are able to swim and not get seasick. Otherwise, the journey of going out to sea in a small boat will make them all vomit and pass out. It's dark."
