Chapter 224 Sea View
In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the sea level, dyeing the sky orange-red. The sea surface sparkled as if covered with a layer of golden silk.
As the sun gradually rose higher, the color of the sky became brighter and brighter, from orange-red to golden yellow and then to light blue. The entire sea surface was also illuminated, and the water became clear and transparent, and you could see the fish swimming happily on the seabed.
In the evening, the sun gradually sets in the west, and a colorful sunset appears in the sky. The colors of the sunset are very rich, including red, orange, yellow, purple, etc., which intertwine to form a beautiful picture.
The sunset glow reflected on the sea surface makes the sea surface colorful and beautiful.
The May breeze was warm and drowsy. Shen Rou stood on the deck, gently closing her eyes and feeling the gentle breeze.
Shangguan Yunting stood quietly beside her, looking at her peaceful face, his heart filled with tenderness. He had a feeling that the years were peaceful and quiet. It would be a good choice if time could stay here forever.
Suddenly, a wave hit the side of the boat, splashing water. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at such a beautiful scenery that made her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
"gorgeous……"
Shangguan Yunting looked at her intoxicated expression, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered softly: "I like the seaside. When we are old, let's build a house by the sea, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and enjoy the beautiful scenery while eating seafood. How about it?"
"You're thinking too far ahead. You're already thinking about your grandchildren even though you don't have a son yet."
Shangguan Yunting leaned close to Shen Rou's ear and whispered, "After we successfully deal with the pirates, we'll be back just in time to get married. It's easy to have a son. I promise to work hard and have two in three years."
Shen Rou glanced at Shangguan Yunting and said, "Let's talk about it after you deal with the pirates."
He looked Shangguan Yunting up and down again and whispered, "Do you have the ability?"
"You want to know? Let's try it tonight."
"You can hear me even when I'm speaking so quietly. You have very good ears."
"Xiao Rou, do you want to try my ability tonight?"
"You idiot, think carefully about how to find the pirates! We've been sailing on the sea for ten days. How long will it take to reach Dongsha Bay?"
"I asked Mr. Xu, and he said it will take about two days. We should wait and see in Dongsha Bay first. If the pirates don't show up, we can go to Nanjiao Beach."
"We must return before the rainy season in June and July to avoid the thunder and lightning, strong winds and heavy rain in the deep sea. If we encounter a whirlpool, it would be too dangerous."
"I also hope to go back soon and feel at ease sooner."
"Don't worry! We will definitely be able to return safely. How could anything happen to you before I marry you and make you my Princess Mu?"
Although Shen Rou likes to watch the sea, she is not sure about going in and out of the deep sea, so she can only act according to circumstances!
Shangguan Yunting used a walkie-talkie to contact Han Lin. Every night, Shen Rou put the walkie-talkie into the space to charge and gave it to them to use the next day.
Han Lin was particularly curious about where this magical walkie-talkie came from, but he didn't dare to ask Shangguan Yunting for confirmation, so he had to ask Shen Rou. Shen Rou told him that it was bought from someone in the Western Regions.
Soon we entered the vicinity of Dongsha Bay. The water was unfathomable, showing a deep blue that made people feel awed. Wave after wave hit the cabin, making a dull sound, as if the sea was showing us its power.
Every impact of the waves caused the boat to shake violently, which was terrifying.
Shangguan Yunting used the walkie-talkie to order Han Lin that the two fishing boats should not be too far apart, and should stay on guard day and night, and everyone should enter a state of combat readiness.
Han Lin immediately conveyed the order, and the atmosphere on the fishing boat suddenly became tense. The crew members each performed their duties and paid close attention to the movements around them.
As night falls, Dongsha Bay is silent except for the sound of waves hitting the fishing boats.
The sea was calm for several days in a row, so they decided to try going to South Reef Beach if the pirates didn't show up tomorrow.
At noon that day, Zhang Qiao and Su Xin took turns guarding two fishing boats, gazing at the blue sea. Suddenly, they saw a ship appear in the distance and became alert instantly.
They quickly peered ahead through their telescopes and saw three ships approaching slowly. They shouted, "Something's happening! Get the master up immediately!"
Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou heard the news and hurried to the deck. He looked up with a telescope and saw the three ships getting closer and closer.
His eyes were firm and serious as he said, "Send the signal. Pass the order down and prepare for battle!"
Shangguan Yunting gave orders decisively, and the guards acted quickly, each taking their positions, ready to meet possible challenges.
With a whoosh sound, the flare rushed into the sky and resounded across the entire sea.
The navy on the official ship discovered the signal flare and quickly reported it to Captain Lin, who immediately ordered the captain to set sail and approach Shangguan Yunting's fishing boat.
Pirate leader Lei Shi stood at the bow, gazing at the two fishing boats in the distance, his eyes gleaming with greed and ferocity. The pirates around him were also shouting excitedly and waving their weapons.
"Boss, these two fishing boats look good. They might be Da Qi official ships. They might be coming here to capture us. Why don't we let them go today?"
"Humph, even if it's a government ship, so what? I, Lei Shi, am afraid of no one. The government is a bunch of cowards! Do you dare to chase our ship to the deep vortex? I admire them for daring to chase me."
The pirate leader sneered again, "These two fishing boats can only hold a few dozen people at most. By the time their reinforcements arrive, we'll have captured them and will be returning home with the spoils. I don't think they'll dare to chase us."
After hearing what their boss said, the pirates became even more excited and prepared their weapons to attack the fishing boat.
Shangguan Yunting saw that the three ships on the opposite side were clearly visible. He ordered Han Lin through the intercom, "Han Lin, stay close to our fishing boat. Once Captain Lin's ship arrives, have your men escort the fishermen safely to the captain's ship."
"I obey my orders."
Shangguan Yunting ordered Su Mo and Su Xi behind him, "Protect the princess well. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive you."
"I obey my orders."
"Just focus on dealing with the pirates. I'm going back to the cabin."
"protect yourself."
Shen Rou returned to the cabin and came to the observation window with a sniper rifle from the space. Considering that the sniper rifle was loud, otherwise she could shoot the pirate leader in the head right now. She could only wait for the two sides to start fighting, and the mixed sounds would cover up the gunshots.
At this time, the pirate ship was speeding towards them. Lei Shi shouted: "Brothers, rush forward and grab the property first."
Shangguan Yunting clenched his fists and shouted to his men, "Shoot!"
A hail of arrows rained down upon the pirate ship, and many pirates were shot and fell into the sea. But the pirates, relying on their numbers, continued to advance.
Three pirate ships rushed over desperately. Shen Rou found the right position and aimed at the helmsman who was driving the ship and pulled the trigger. The helmsman was hit in the head instantly and fell down.
The pirate ship lost control and careened headlong into another pirate ship. Both ships rocked violently, and the pirates standing on the deck fell into the deep sea. Suddenly, they were in a state of panic, and Shangguan Yunting took the opportunity to order another arrow to be fired.
Seeing this, Lei Shi roared and ordered his men to fight back. Some pirates threw out grappling hooks in an attempt to hook the fishing boat, and the guards struggled to cut the ropes.
At the same time, the official ship arrived in time. The navy safely escorted the fishermen onto the official ship, and Captain Lin led the navy to join the battle.
Shen Rou took advantage of the chaos and killed several more pirates.
Seeing that there were many people on the official ship and many of his brothers were killed or injured, the pirate leader immediately ordered the ship to turn around and escape.
Seeing that the pirates were trying to escape, Shangguan Yunting immediately ordered the archers to shoot them, and ordered the guards to go on the pirate ship and strangle them. The guards jumped onto the pirate ship with their lightness skills, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
