The Story of the Charming Empress - C93

The endless ocean, the sky and sea in the distance, were one and the same. Under the sunlight, there was a blue glow. Other than the salty sea breeze blowing by, there was a chill to it and it was actually the most beautiful picture scroll.

“Second Uncle Zheng, how far have we come? How many more days until we arrive?” I asked politely.

Second Uncle Zheng was an extremely good-natured middle-aged man with a long beard, tanned skin, and a sturdy body. He was highly respected by the young men on the boat. Upon hearing my question, he laughed and said:

“Is the girl better now? It has only been a third of the way through, and if everything goes well, it might take another ten days or so. ”

While I was seasick in bed, Second Uncle Zheng was kind enough to help Yang get us something to eat and drink, so I had a good impression of him, so I told him about some of the things that had happened on the island.

As they were chatting, a young man on the boat suddenly shouted:

“Second Uncle Zheng, look! Two large ships are coming!”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, we saw two ships about the size of our own.

It’s called charging because the speed of these two ships is extremely fast. It’s clear that they have been specially modified, and the speed of our ship is far from being able to keep up with them. This is normal, our ship is a fishing boat, ordinary, nothing special.

Just as I was wondering about the origins of these two ships, I turned my head and saw Second Uncle Zheng’s expression changed drastically as he loudly ordered,

“Quick, all of you get off the boat. Those two ships are not friendly, I’m afraid they’re pirates!”

Upon hearing that it was a pirate, everyone was shocked and hurriedly jumped down to get the paddle. I panicked and asked,

“Are there often pirates here?”

“No, this is a group of pirates that I have only recently encountered. I’ve never seen one before, but I’ve heard it mentioned before. This is the first time I’ve seen one today.” Miss, hurry up, we have to increase our speed! ” After Second Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he jumped down to instruct everyone to row the boat.

The boat that was originally moving slowly and steadily was now swaying due to the increase in my speed. I had just climbed to the second step when I felt dizzy and was unable to go up anymore. I had to desperately grab onto the protective barrier to maintain my balance.

Although our ship was at its fastest speed, we were still overtaken by the pirates. In a moment, a dozen or so burly men jumped on board, each of them holding a large saber. Their faces were ferocious, as if they were hungry for a long time.

Second Uncle Zheng was so frightened that his face paled, but he still maintained his composure and stepped forward to clasp his hands together:

“Gentlemen, we are just fishing. We did not prepare silver taels to honor you. Please let us go. We must thank you next time for your generous gift!”

“Haha …” Several pirates laughed out loud, as if they had heard some hilarious joke. “Listen, old man. No matter what you’re doing, hand over all your money. Otherwise, men’s sabers are not for show!”

No one knew when Lin Feng had jumped down, but seeing that there were only a dozen or so people, he sneered.

“Bold thief!” “You dare to let me off my good dream, eat my sword first!”

He swung his sword, and before the pirates could react, two heads fell to the ground. Their bodies fell into the sea, staining the water red.

Most of the people on the ship were young men. Seeing that Lin Feng had easily killed the two pirates, they couldn’t help but grow in fighting spirit. They all brandished their oars to fight the pirates.

However, most of them were fishermen who had never practiced martial arts. Compared to the ferocious pirates, there was a huge gap between them. The pirates seemed to have sensed that there was an expert on the ship, so they didn’t dare to delay and immediately became vigilant. One of them blew his whistle, and hundreds of fiercer pirates rushed out from the two ships.

He had not expected so many pirates to appear out of nowhere. Although he was powerful in martial arts, his opponents had many people, and they all had some foundation in martial arts. He could not subdue them in such a short period of time, and quite a number of fishermen had lost their lives to the blades of the pirates.

The situation had turned chaotic for a while. Seeing that it was impossible to stop them, Second Uncle Zheng had no choice but to join the battle. Yang Ke and Qingcheng were also awoken by the sounds of fighting.

The sea had been dyed red, and there were heads and limbs everywhere. This was the first time I had seen such a sight, and I couldn’t help but vomit.

A pirate rushed towards me, and when he saw that I was a woman, he became very perverted. He put away his long sword, and immediately began to speak obscenely.

I couldn’t break free, and I cried out in alarm. Yang Liang rushed over and stabbed the pirate in the face with his sword, but he didn’t even bother to pull me up. He rushed down to fight with the pirates, protecting my wooden ladder from the pirates.

I climbed up step by step, my heart full of fear, because it happened so suddenly that I hardly even had time to think.

In the end, it was Qingcheng who pulled me up, and the two of us hid in the room, not daring to come out.

After a while, we heard the sound of heavy footsteps, and our door was kicked open. The two pirates looked at me and Qingcheng, who were huddled up in a corner, and their eyes lit up as they laughed and said:

“There are two beauties here. Hurry up and take them back to the King to be his wife!”

Both of us were laughing as we approached. Mo Qingcheng and I knew that we couldn’t avoid this. We hurriedly shouted for help, hoping that Yang Liang or Lin Feng would hear that we could rush over to help.

Just as the two of them were about to reach us and reach out their hands to capture us, they suddenly fell to the ground with two thuds. Yang Liang and Lin Feng arrived at the same time and stabbed the two pirates to death from behind.

“Cai’Er, Qingcheng, Second Uncle Zheng has put down a small boat in the hold of the ship. Quickly, come down with me!” Yang Liang Yan said.

There were still sounds of fighting coming from below the boat. Bandit with a big knife and fishermen with oars were flying everywhere with blood all over the place. The whole sea area was dyed dark red.

Yang Liang was in front to block, and Lin Feng was in the back to protect me and Qingcheng. At this moment, Yang Liang and Lin Feng had the best teamwork.

Seeing that more and more pirates were gathering, even though Second Uncle Zheng’s boat was already in the water, the pirates rushed over and snatched it away. Lin Feng stepped forward and killed two pirates, but even more pirates rushed over.

“Little Ling’Er, quick, you two, get on the boat!” After Yang Liang finished speaking, he pushed both of us into the boat. With a stagger, Qingcheng and I fell towards the boat, just in time to be caught by Second Uncle Zheng.

On this trip, there were a total of four women. The other two were clearly fishermen, both in their thirties. They were already hiding in the boat, holding onto their oars fearfully as they prepared to row away at any moment.

Second Uncle Zheng and a youngster were untying the reins when a pirate slipped under Yang Liang’s sword and rushed over to chop him up. The youngster who untied the reins was decapitated and fell into the water with a ‘dong’ sound, scaring both Qingcheng and I into crying out in alarm.

Lin Feng heard the sound and leaped onto the boat. He stretched out his sword and pierced through the pirate’s chest. With a “plop” sound, the pirate fell into the sea before he could even let out a breath.

“Windward!” Escort the boat and leave quickly. I will defend against it from here! ” Yang Liang shouted to the wind on the boat.

Lin Feng was about to go back and kill the enemy, but seeing me and Qingcheng both lying on the boat, he was scared out of his wits. He was also afraid that there would be more enemies coming at us, so he decided to stay on the boat and tell Second Uncle Zheng to untie the reins.

“Don’t even think about escaping!” A man who looked like the leader of a group of pirates smashed the ship with his sledgehammer, causing waves of seawater to gush out from the bottom of the ship and fill the cabin.

The ship sank, and I saw Yang Liang stumble and almost fall. It suddenly occurred to me that Yang Liang did not know how to swim, and if the water continued to flow, the ship might not be able to hold on for long before it will sink entirely into the depths. Everyone will fall into the ice-cold sea, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Yang Liang!” “Get on the boat!” Qingcheng and I shouted at the same time.

Hearing our shouts, Yang Liang was just about to escape when a few pirates came over. Yang Liang was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the knife. Blood immediately flowed from my wound, and my heart throbbed in pain.

Now that the boat’s reins had been released, Second Uncle Zheng no longer cared about the others. He roared and instructed the people on the boat to quickly paddle. The boat flew off like an arrow leaving the bow, heading in another direction.

“Young master!” When I heard this shrill cry, the boat had already moved to a distance ten feet away, but in the instant that the boat left, Qingcheng had already jumped onto it.

She threw herself at Yang Liang with all her might, this was something I didn’t expect. Qingcheng, who was previously frightened to the point that her face was ashen, now had a face full of fearlessness as she quickly rushed towards Yang Liang.

“Qingcheng!” This shout came from Lin Feng beside him. He used all his strength to shout it out, causing his eyes to turn blood-red. However, it was already too late. The small boat had already departed from the large ship.

“Pull the boat back!” Lin Feng and I roared at Second Uncle Zheng at the same time.

On the ship, blood splashed everywhere. The sea water had already surged to the upper deck of the ship, and it looked like it was about to sink.

“I can’t go back! If we go back, we won’t be able to live! ” Second Uncle Zheng’s face turned purple as he began to wail and cry bitterly.

The few people who were rowing the boat tried their best to move forward, ignoring my shouts and Lin Feng’s.

“If you don’t go back, I’ll kill you!” Lin Feng placed the long sword on Second Uncle Zheng’s neck.

Second Uncle Zheng shook his head, “Even if I go back, I will die. Young Master, if you kill me, it will not help!”

Lin Feng’s hands were trembling while his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at the slowly sinking ship and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His voice was broken, as if his internal organs had been torn apart.

“Qingcheng!”

The longsword fell from the sword. Windy knelt on the boat and cried bitterly towards the boat. The tears on his face mixed with blood dripped down, forming a line of blood-red rain.

As for me, I can no longer think or speak. There’s only one word left in my mouth:

“No, no …”

As the boat moved further and further away, I saw the ship sink, and the figures of Yang Liang and Qingcheng blended into the countless shadows, and then they fell into the water and disappeared.

My heart was filled with grief and my tears were dripping down. The pain and despair that I had never experienced was like a dull knife cutting through my body. My chest was surging with waves more violent than the ocean water.

The moment before I fainted, I heard Lin Feng’s angry rebuke:

“It’s you!” It’s all your fault, Qingcheng! It’s you who allowed them to marry each other, it’s you! ”

Then my body slowly fell into the endless darkness like a leaf in an autumn wind.

The night like this was so dark and cold. Countless blades of light and shadows, body parts, blood, and heads, assaulting my eyes. I could not shout or move. I did not even have the strength to dodge.

Two familiar faces turned and turned in front of me, one with a bright smile and sad eyes, the other with an expression of sadness and sadness. But I didn’t know who they were, I thought desperately, but I couldn’t think of anything, I wanted to ask, but all the strength in my body seemed to have been sucked out of me, and my lips weighed more than a thousand pounds, making it impossible for me to speak.

All I knew was that they were my closest friends, or else why was my heart in such pain?

A dream. A very, very heavy dream.

I woke in a daze of tears. The warm winter sun shone on me through the broken windows. No, it was a semi-old quilt that shone on me.

Where am I?

Looking around, he didn’t see a single person.

Xiao Yan moved slightly but felt a sharp pain in his head. He could not help but fall back down. His eyes were shining like stars as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Trying to get up again, my whole body was sore and weak. I frowned and couldn’t help but let out a light groan.

Footsteps could be heard, and soon a young man’s face came into view.

“Little… “Little Fishy …” I tried my best, but my voice was still weak.

But why was the first person I saw when I opened my eyes, Little Fishy? I haven’t seen them since I parted from them on the way here. Why, why am I lying here?
