Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 496 Prepare to flee
Half an hour ago, Mingsha Island.

A Japanese pirate ran to Gao Shishu in a panic and reported: "It's not good, gang leader! The situation has changed. The government doesn't know what weapons they used. They can hit the ship from three or four miles away. The first one we sent out The team suffered heavy casualties and was completely wiped out before they could successfully attract the attention of nearby officers and soldiers!"

"It's over! Gang leader, we are really finished!"

Before he finished speaking, another person came in like a pee, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene. The two groups were fighting, and his voice was filled with tears: "...the government has artillery, many, many artillery! When fired, it will cover the sky and cover our people. There is no way to escape, the second team is probably in danger now..."

Zheng Yu, who was staying on the island with Gao Shishu, felt dizzy when he heard this, and said with a pale face: "The first team and the second team have been damaged. The third team is far away from them and will not be able to receive it for a while." They must be very anxious about the news. It would be terrible if they are confused and break out regardless of 21."

"Gang leader, we must quickly find a way to bring back the people of the third team. Although the losses are heavy, there are 3000 or [-] people in the third team. As long as we keep them, we will keep our main force. We can still think about it in the long term... Gang leader ?Gang leader?”

The plan was disrupted. Zheng Yu was so panicked that his palms were all sweaty. He talked incoherently for a long time, only to realize that Gao Shishu beside him had a heavy expression and deep eyes, and was not listening at all.

"Help Master!"

Zheng Yu shouted again with a higher pitch. Gao Shishu suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and his face was slightly unnatural: "...I heard everything you said, don't panic, I have already prepared my plan. It’s still too late to prepare.”

"Gather all the remaining brothers on the island and ask them to bring some things, preferably some gold and silver. Be careful not to light any lamps. Be careful that the officers and soldiers will find you. Follow me later."

Although Zheng Yu didn't understand, it was difficult for him to calm down and think at the moment, so he had to do what Gao Shishu said.

A quarter of an hour later, when Zheng Yu packed up his things and arrived at the designated gathering place, he realized something was wrong.

Most of the people in the gang had already divided into three teams to break out by boat, and there were only 200 people left on the island. Zheng Yu had been paying attention to the situation of the breakout, but now he realized that those who stayed on the island were basically Japanese wanderers. The samurai, without exception, were all Gao Shishu's cronies.

Although Gao Shishu incorporated the old members of the Tao Gang, he started out as a Japanese pirate after all. From the beginning to the end, the only people he truly trusted were the wandering warriors in the gang, who were also the elite forces under him.

These warriors stood behind Gao Shishu without saying a word, and did not show any panic.Zheng Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Seeing that they were all carrying more or less baggage, he asked in shock:
"...Gang Leader, didn't you say that you only want to pack stuff and a small amount of soft goods? Why are they still carrying their luggage? What are they going to do?"

Gao Shishu tilted his head, avoiding his questioning gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Just follow me."

After that, he turned around and left with the warriors. Zheng Yu had no choice but to follow him.

Gao Shishu behaved strangely tonight, and Zheng Yu was filled with doubts, so he paid more attention and followed him while observing his every move.

Gao Shishu moved swiftly and walked south without any hesitation or any sign of looking back. It was as if he had forgotten about the third team that was in danger and had no intention of rescuing them.Could it be that he wanted to leave the rest of the brothers alone and escape with them?

After realizing this, Zheng Yu's scalp became tense, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only suppress the surprise in his heart and pretend to know nothing.

The group of people went straight to the southern coast of Mingsha Island. In the dark night, there were several small ships anchored on the sea, as if they were waiting for them.

These boats were very low-key, with not a single light on, as if they were blending into the night. If they were far apart, you might not even notice that there were boats parked here.When he got closer, Zheng Yu found that the people on the boat were dressed the same as the wandering warriors around Gao Shishu. They must be Japanese people.

Shouldn't the Japanese's supporting ships be in the northeastern waters?Why on the south coast of Mingsha Island?And there are only so many ships?
Compared to Zheng Yu's doubts, Gao Shishu was not surprised by this and said solemnly: "If we are ready, let's get on the boat."

"and many more!"

Zheng Yu grabbed him and asked questions one after another: "...Gang leader? What's going on? Where are we going? Where are the brothers from the third team, we just ignore them?"

Gao Shishu stopped and looked at Zheng Yu with deep eyes without saying a word, looking at him with fury.A chill ran from his back to his neck, and Zheng Yu couldn't help but shiver: "Gang leader..."

"Hall Master Zheng." Before Zheng Yu could speak, he was interrupted by Gao Shishu. He suddenly smiled and said, "We have reached this point. With your intelligence, you should have guessed it without me saying anything. What’s going on?”

Zheng Yu suddenly didn't dare to look directly into his eyes and swallowed his saliva: "...If this is the Japanese receiving ship, then they are clearly stationed on the south coast of Mingsha Island. Why do you want your brothers to go to the northeast? Why do you still have to divide it? What about the first team, the second team, the third team... you didn’t even want to take them away, did you?”

"What about Fujiwara princes and Japan's struggle for hegemony? Are they probably all lies made up by you? You just want to temporarily stabilize everyone's mood to prevent civil strife on Mingsha Island, so that you can take the opportunity to escape?"

"You only guessed part of it right." Gao Shishu looked away from him and said in a deep voice, "It's true that Fujiwara is a prince, and it's true that he wants to accept us. But Japan's land is small and its resources are limited. Fujiwara said he was a prince. It sounds majestic, but in fact the territory is only a few counties, and he simply cannot support so many people in our gang."

"On the other hand, Japanese people are extremely xenophobic. With so many foreigners coming over, there will definitely be civil strife in Fujiwara's territory. Therefore, Fujiwara wanted to recruit not ordinary gang members from the beginning, but the hundreds of samurai under my command. Elite.”

"They were originally natives of Japan. They wandered overseas for various reasons, but their own strength is not weak. It is not easy to find such a cohesive and ownerless samurai team in Japan, and it happens that They are all working under me now, so Fujiwara extended an olive branch to me."

Guessing on your own is one concept, but hearing the fact of deception from Gao Shishu's own words is another concept.

Zheng Yu took a deep breath and asked in disbelief: "Obviously Fujiwara didn't want to accept us, but you still said you would take everyone to Japan. Why did you lie to the big guy?"
