Li Hu and Ai Husheng brought back a woman, the Caucasian woman who looked like Nicole Kidman. She was really similar. The only thing that seemed different was her figure. This woman's figure was even more beautiful than that of Nicole Kidman.

The content is more exciting.

Li Xiao looked at the woman carefully, and the woman looked at him carefully. Li Xiao was talking to Tang Ruowang tonight, and apart from that handshake, the two had no deeper contact.

"You said that the naval general named Kui Yi will lead the Dutch fleet to destroy us?" Li Xiao looked directly into Nikolaeva's eyes. The eyes are the most important part of the micro-expression. By observing a person

With his eyes, you can accurately guess whether he is lying.

"Yes! The Netherlands does not have a large population, and they always fail when competing with Portugal and Spain for overseas interests. Now that they have nothing to do in America, they have focused their attention on the Far East.

Because the Portuguese and Spanish are currently busy in America and have no time or energy to come to the Far East." Nikolaeva also looked at Li Xiao.

"Okay! I believe this reason. How many people do they have? Or, how many ships do they have?"

"I don't know. There should be at least a dozen of the most elite warships. There are at least dozens of cannons and hundreds of crew members." Nikolaeva shrugged, her shiny white shoulders covered by candlelight.

Apply a layer of light yellow luster. From Li Xiao's perspective, it has a unique sense of beauty.

Especially the two lumps on the chest trembled twice because of the swaying of the shoulders. Li Xiao clearly heard that Li Hu's breathing behind him became heavier.

The little brat just can't hold his arms around a woman. This kid is only fifteen years old. He has to think of a way, otherwise his small body will be damaged by the woman.

Military operations are classified, and it is normal for Nikolaeva not to know the specific quantity. If she said there were whole parts and parts, this would arouse Li Xiao's vigilance.

"I understand what you said, the last two questions. If you can make me believe you, then you and your family will be my friends, Li Xiao, from now on."

"I also want to win the friendship of the Chief Military Officer. Your friendship will be very precious." Nikolaeva's smile is very elegant, showing a good education. Her white teeth not only give people a clean feeling, but also

Trust attribute. Clean people always make people feel good.

"Why are you telling us this?"

"My aunt is the Queen of England, and England does not want the Netherlands to gain the interests of the Far East and become powerful."

"Oh!" Li Xiao said "oh" noncommittally.

"More importantly, my father owes Bobby and the others a large amount of money. Our family can't afford it. If the Dutch don't fail, I will become a prostitute! So, I need a strong person to help me and my family."

family out of this predicament. I choose you, my lord."

"Why me?" Li Xiao asked with interest.

"Because...! There is no time. In three days, oh no, two days, Kui Yi will come to Macau. By then, they will be the largest maritime force in the Far East. In fact, I tell you because I want you to

Take me and my family and run away. This way, I can get away from Bobby and the others. I don’t want to become a lowly woman!”

"You never thought that I would win?"

"Oh! God, I actually trusted such a person. Your ship cannot defeat the Dutch warships. If you stay to fight them, you will die very ugly. Believe me, I swear by God."

Li Xiao nodded and began to think deeply.

He knew that the sailing warships of these days and the Dutch were still very powerful at sea in these days. They did business at sea all year round and were called "sea coachmen". Business naturally required the protection of warships to fight against the elusive pirates.

.

However, because the Netherlands is a small country with a small population, a dozen or twenty warships are already considered a heavy force for them.

With fewer soldiers, you will pay attention to excellence. The Dutch navigation technology is very advanced. The warships they built have larger sails than those of other countries, and they are equipped in reasonable positions. In this way, the Dutch ships can capture more wind.

It brings more power to the warship. Because of the greater power, the speed of the warship will be faster.

Of course, all of this requires qualified and capable sailors. The opening and closing of each sail must be precise and timely. This thing cannot be practiced in a day or two. At least the sailors under Li Xiao are far better

This standard cannot be met.

The speed is not as good as others, and the firepower is also not as good as others. Li Xiao's two ships only have a copper cannon on the bow, and the rest only have mortars. If you get closer, you can use firecrackers. Close enough

You can't get too close, the opponent will jump to help, so you can use grenades.

But the Dutch warships have dozens of cannons these days. When they are far away, they will fire a salvo. Anyway, I have enough cannons to fire dozens of shells at a time. Although the accuracy is not good,

But there are always one or two shots that can hit the mark.

The only good thing is that their cannons still use solid shells. Although they can damage warships, it is difficult to cause devastating damage. Li Xiao already learned this when he fought against Jiugui Jialong.

Li Xiao's mind was racing at high speed, and the strength of the two sides was at least ten to one. The range advantage was also due to the fact that the opponent's artillery was weakened. The enemy ship was much faster than the warship converted from his own cargo ship, and he would be played like a tortoise at sea.

.

What should I do? What should I do? Li Xiao's mind is full of question marks now. He is at a comprehensive disadvantage! If he can't do it himself, should he rely on Zheng Zhilong and those pirates? Or should he rely on the even more unreliable Daming Navy?

I have no friendship with the navy generals here, so it's hard to say whether they will give me face or not.

There are too many uncertain factors, and there is only one thing that can be certain now. That is, he is about to be in disaster.

To run? Or not to run?

If he ran away, there would still be hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese. Li Xiao, who had a strong sense of nationalism, could hardly imagine what kind of suffering these people would suffer. The ease of being a soldier did not allow him to be a deserter who ran away from battle.

"You go back first, and I will promise to send you and your family to the mainland of Ming Dynasty. I will also give you a sum of money to help you live. But if you can't do it today, the time will be tomorrow night. The night before Kuiyi arrives

!”

"Oh, thank you." When Nikolaeva heard that her family could be allowed to leave Macau, she excitedly rushed over and kissed Li Xiao.

Li Hu and Ai Husheng turned their heads in unison. Jiang Chaozong had quick hands and eyes, and held down the hand that used to draw the roast chicken knife. No matter who suddenly approached Li Xiao, this guy would subconsciously rub their necks.

Poor Miss Nikolayeva didn't know that she had just wandered around the gate of hell.

"Send Miss Nikolaeva back, be careful not to disturb other people." Li Xiao ordered Li Hu, and Li Hu immediately agreed and took Nikolaeva out.

"Don't even think about fighting the Dutch fleet, you can't beat them." Before going out, Nikolayeva solemnly warned Li Xiao. She was afraid that Li Xiao would be impulsive and fight to the death with the Dutch. Like a young man.

A little calf doesn't know how powerful a jackal is.

"I know." In response to Nikolaeva's warning, Li Xiao just responded with a faint "I know". This made Nikolaeva feel relieved a little, but she started to raise it again. Without Li Xiao as a backer, in the

Life in the Ming Dynasty will not be easy either. After all, beautiful women will be coveted wherever they go.

And she is just a beautiful woman.

"Go and invite Master Zheng!" Li Xiao ordered Jiang Chaozong as soon as Nikolaeva left.

Not long after, Zheng Zhilong followed Jiang Chaozong to Li Xiao's yard. It was obvious that due to his keen sixth sense, Zheng Zhilong couldn't sleep, otherwise he would never have arrived so quickly.

"Brother! What happened?" Seeing Li Xiao's frown, Zheng Zhilong's heart tightened. In the past two days, he had been irritable. The last time he was so irritable was when he was assassinated by ninjas in Japan. That time, in the end,

The loyal guard helped him block the fatal knife.

However, he still had several scars on his body.

Zheng Zhilong believed very much in the intuition he had developed through years of experience. This time, his uneasiness was even stronger than the last time. Zheng Zhilong also knew that he would face greater storms, but he just didn't know if his ship could survive it.

"The Dutch...! The red-haired ghosts are starting to get restless. The latest intelligence shows that a fleet is coming to Macau. Their purpose is to occupy Macau. Defeat all opponents in the Far East, and then dominate the Far East and seize mountains as high as mountains.

Benefit."

Thinking of these days, they called all people from the West red-haired ghosts. Li Xiao quickly changed his tune. This was really not the time to talk about names.

"How many?" Li Xiao clearly felt that Zheng Zhilong's aura had changed, and the chicken-roasting hand had touched the handle of the knife.

"At least twenty ships, maybe more. According to the voyage, if there are no delays, they should arrive in two days."

"Strange! Why didn't we notice such a large fleet?" Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up: "I know, they did not take the normal route, but traveled along the Jiaozhi coastline. Only in this way can we avoid it.

My eyes and ears.”

Zheng Zhilong's hand hit the desk hard. Needless to say, his influence in the Straits had been uprooted.

"No! We have to leave. We can't stay in Macau and wait to die. I've seen that kind of gunboat. The three floors are densely packed with artillery. On the sea, our ship is definitely no match for others. Before we get close to them, they will

Beaten to pieces by artillery." Zheng Zhilong's first thought was to run away!

"When we leave, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the South China Sea? Are we going to watch them being enslaved by foreigners? From now on, our ships passing through the South China Sea will have to pay taxes to the red-haired ghosts?"
