Luo Lie looked at the lonely gull and saw tranquility and peace in its eyes. He accidentally disturbed the tranquility of the gull, turned to the stern, and walked towards the direction away from the gull.

The moonlight covers the black ocean, and the gentle night wind blows the gentle waves. The undulating waves cover the sea with silver scales through the reflection of light and shadow. From a distance, the light and shadow flicker, flashing and disappearing, rising and falling one after another, magnificent and psychedelic, like a carpet woven by light and shadow.

Compared with the fragile life of human beings, there are too many eternals in this world, the universe, stars, sea, light and shadow... Luo Lie unknowingly fell into deep thought.

The wings of the gull suddenly opened, then increased the frequency and flapped twice, and suddenly rose into the night sky. The body flying at high speed turned into a white light in the night sky. Luo Lie's eyes followed the white light and kept hitting the sky far away. He suddenly opened his eyes wide because he saw that there seemed to be a black dot between the sea and the sky.

Luo Lie was unable to confirm, so he looked up and found the sailor on the watchtower. Although the sailor was responsible for looking, he did not notice any movement here. Luo Lie reminded him to observe the abnormality he had just discovered.

The sailor raised his telescope and looked into the distance. After only a while, he was sure that there were ships in the distance, and more than one, a total of two ships.

In such a season, fishing boats rarely go to sea, and most often encounter cargo ships, but the possibility of encountering pirates is not ruled out.

The sailors immediately informed the captain of the discovery, and for safety reasons, their ships began to accelerate.

Shortly after the captain ordered the acceleration, the two ships that followed them also began to accelerate. This situation shows that the target of the two ships was obviously them.

Luo Lie did not alarm the others. After discussing with the captain, they decided to continue moving forward according to the established route. After all, the ships behind them were still quite a distance from them, and the other party should not be able to catch up with them before dawn. There is no meaning to alarm our own personnel too early. It is better to let them have a good sleep and maintain full energy to prepare for possible battles.

The speed of the ship still made some people notice it. Lu Weilin was one of them. He was prone to seasickness. The speed of the ship speed increased the bumps of the ship. Lu Weilin rushed out of the cabin, grabbed the railing with both hands, and vomited into the sea.

It was not until all the things in the stomach were vomited out and the sour water was vomited that Lu Weilin felt better, but the dizziness was still there.

Someone handed him a handkerchief. Lu Weilin opened his eyes and found that Luo Lie came to his side. He took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, grinning and showing a bitter smile: "The sky is spinning."

Luo Liedao: "Can you still aim?"

Lu Weilin said: "It depends on how big the target is." He didn't know the news that the ship was following him.

Luo Lie said: "Recover as soon as possible, there may be a fierce battle tomorrow morning at the latest."

Lu Weilin was stunned for a moment, then realized the severity of the situation. He held the railing and looked around. Seeing the black ocean, the foam from the waves, he immediately felt dizzy again. He quickly closed his eyes.

Luo Lie Road: "Two ships followed behind us."

Lu Weilin closed his eyes and said, "How far is it?"

Luo Liedao: "Importantly estimated to be about three nautical miles, but their speed is about the same as ours."

Lu Weilin nodded. There are two possibilities. One is that the other party's ship is moving at the same speed as theirs, and the other is that the other party deliberately preserves its strength and does not start a full-speed pursuit. After feeling a little better, Lu Weilin said: "Which link is wrong?" Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong had made detailed arrangements before. Even they didn't know about changing the ship sailor. Could it be that the news leaked?

Luo Lie remembered the group of local bullies who were entrusted by the Kaishan Gang to come for trouble. Could it be them?

Lu Weilin reminded Luo Lie: "Don't forget Lao An."

While the two were talking, two figures came over from a distance. They really mean that Cao Cao was here. One of them was Lao An, and the other was naturally a blind man who was following him like a shadow. The blind man's small eyes shone brightly in the dark night, and the darker the sky, the clearer he could see.

The blind man shouted, "What's wrong? Such a big noise?" Although Luo Lie reminded everyone not to wake them up now, the ship suddenly accelerated and is now moving at full speed, causing bumps, and few people can be unaware of this situation.

Luo Lie told them the situation. The blind man took out the telescope and observed the ship chasing them. Even if others use the telescope, they can only see the outline of the tracking ship, but the blind man can see the details clearly. He adjusted the telescope and the two ships in his field of vision began to become clear. The blind man saw the flag flying on the mast of the ship. A green dragon with teeth and claws embroidered above the black flag. The blind man told other companions what he saw.

Old Andr, who had never spoken, said: "Hailong Gang, they are pirates!"

Everyone turned their attention to Lao An at the same time. In fact, Luo Lie also collected a lot of information before going to sea this time. He knew that there were often pirates in the sea area in this area. The Hailong Gang was one of the most powerful. Their activities were the most rampant in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. After the establishment of the Republic of China government, several major robberies occurred on this route, which attracted the attention of many parties. The Republic of China and Japan jointly launched a clearance operation in this area. In order to avoid the edge, several pirate forces entrenched in this area in the past had to choose to temporarily avoid the edge, and they moved their base camp south.

It can be said that there has been no pirate hijacking on this route in the past three years, and Luo Lie will almost ignore the possibility of encountering pirates. However, even the smallest possibility will become a 100% chance of being encountered by them.

The blind man stared at Old An and said, "Your people?"

Lao An snorted coldly and said, "What am I looking for pirates? I think we should prepare early. The Hailong Gang is famous for doing things for three lights, killing them all, burning them all, and stealing them all! And..." He paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, once they are dispatched, they must have at least three ships. They are not only crowded but also have excellent weapons."

Zhang Changgong's loud voice sounded: "Don't make others more ambitious and destroy your own might!"

Old An said: "Do you believe it or not?"

Ye Qinghong was the last one to come out of the cabin. In fact, she had woken up long ago, but she didn't come outside as soon as possible.

Ye Qinghong came to Luo Lie and quietly returned his coat to him. Luo Lie took the coat and put it on. Ye Qinghong said, "Have you met a pirate?"

Luo Lie nodded, and Ye Qinghong asked for the telescope to walk to the stern.

The blind man and the others came to Luo Lie's side, and the blind man said, "What should I do?"

Lu Weilin said: "The captain said that the best way is to move forward at full speed and strive to get rid of them."

Zhang Changgong agreed with Lu Weilin's method, but he still remembered what Lao An said just now and whispered: "What if they have other reinforcements?"

Luo Lie raised his eyes and looked forward and found that Lao An's figure had disappeared. Although the blind man talked to them, he was always paying attention to Lao An's movements and pointed to the cabin. Lao An had just gone back.

Luo Lie came outside the cabin where Lao An was and knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard Lao An's voice coming from inside: "The door is not locked!"

Luo Lie pushed the door and walked in. He saw Lao An sitting alone at the small table, looking at a navigation chart under the dim light. Even if Luo Lie walked into the room, Lao An did not look up at him, but still looked at the navigation chart intently.

Luo Lie took out the cigarette box, took out a cigarette from it and handed it over.

Lao An said coldly: "No."

He didn't smoke, and Luo Lie was embarrassed to smoke. He sat down on the stool opposite Lao An, and smiled and said, "Amber!"

Old An said: "Mr. Luo, you are polite. I am just a servant. I can't bear it if you call me that."

Luo Lie said straight to the point: "I came to you to hear your opinion."

Lao An asked back: "Does Mr. Luo believe me?"

Luo Lie said: "Everyone is on the same boat, and it is time to work together."

Old Andu said: "Mr. Luo still didn't answer my question."

Luo Lie said: "Amber is a sensible person, and it doesn't make sense to discuss this kind of issue now."

Lao An nodded: "Not bad!" He spread the navigation chart in his hand flat on the table: "According to the common methods used by the Hailong Gang, these two ships are only responsible for tracking and cutting off the rear path. Usually, merchant ships are often exhausted after they find that they are tracked by pirates, and most of them will use high-speed travel to try to throw away the tracking ship."

Luo Lie nodded. They were going to use this method.

Lao Andao: "The reason why the Sea Dragon Gang can dominate for a while is not only because of their excellent weapons and fierce personnel, but also because their ships are moving very fast. Although I don't know the ship we are on, I know that if the two ships behind us chase at full speed, we will definitely not be able to escape."

Luo Lie said: "Then why didn't they launch a full-speed pursuit?"

Lao An said: "It's not time before that, it's not difficult to draw a conclusion based on the recorded robbery information of the Hailong Gang. They never launch attacks at night, and most of the robbery happens at dawn."

Luo Lie looked at the time and it was already four o'clock in the morning. It would probably be dawn in less than three hours, which means that the pirates would launch the final attack.

Lao An pointed at the navigation chart with his finger: "We are currently in this place. At dawn, we will come here at most. This area is full of empty seas, which will facilitate their siege."

Luo Lie said: "Do you mean there will be other ships joining?"

Lao An nodded with a very confident expression: "There will be." As far as he knew, the Hailong Gang went out to sea to rob the three ships. These two ships were in a forbidden manner, and they were clearly trying to drive them to the established sea area.
