PDLP Chapter 346 The person seems to be a little dead.
Chapter 346 The person seems to be a little dead.
Wei An was taken aback, his eyes flashing slightly, but so quickly that it was imperceptible: "Old Master, where...where are we going?"
"If you delay any longer, everyone in the headquarters will be dead." Xu Yong sneered and leaped off the cliff.
Xu Yong didn't care about Chen Hu and his men just now, but those who remained at the headquarters were all his former confidants.
Ever since he left the gang, these old guys have followed Chen Hu. More than ten years have passed, and they have grown old and have no children, so they have been living in the gang ever since.
They don't usually come out.
With the government officials about to arrive, if they hadn't been tipped off, these people would have faced certain death.
Wei An gritted his teeth and followed closely behind, but his movements were not as dignified as Xu Yong's. His whole body was pressed against the cold rock wall, and he used both hands and feet to climb down inch by inch.
Wei An glanced at Xu Yong, who had taken the first step, and said, "Old man! You're pretty quick on your feet, how come you weren't killed when you fell..."
He cursed under his breath, clearly still holding a grudge against Xu Yong's earlier behavior.
The waves crashed against the crevices of the rocks. The two grabbed a piece of driftwood and, using the undercurrent, quietly paddled towards another hidden waterway.
The government's fleet sailed in, cutting through the waves, and the imposing outline of Snake Tail Island stood tall.
Just as the ship was about to dock, a sharp whistle pierced the sea breeze and reached everyone's ears.
"Beep—!"
Lin Ke's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand to stop the fleet: "They are hidden sentries."
Zhao Cheng immediately took the lead and searched for the source of the sound.
The source of the whistle was hidden behind the jagged rocks. The group crept over and were shocked to find a blood-covered spy huddled in a crevice. It was none other than Shen Yi, who had gone missing earlier!
"Lord Zhao!"
Just as I was about to go over, another man in black appeared from behind the reef.
"What exactly is going on with Lu Zhao?" Zhao Cheng was shocked and quickly crawled over.
"Last night, An Liu was caught red-handed while trying to deliver a message, and was forced to jump off a cliff..."
Fortunately, the two of them infiltrated together at the beginning.
Otherwise, Shen Ling would definitely have been dead last night.
"Don't say anything yet. I think the person looks a bit dead. Let's take him back quickly and have the army doctor take a look."
Lu Zhao interrupted Zhao Cheng's curiosity and pointed to Shen Yi, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
The group hurriedly led their people away.
All the government warships slowly approached the shore, their decks lowered, and Lin Ke led his elite troops ashore on Snake Tail Island.
At this moment, the island was eerily quiet, with only the sea breeze carrying a fishy smell.
At the same time, Xu Yong and Wei An had just sneaked back to the island via a hidden waterway.
"Go and inform the people in the village that as long as they can still move, they should immediately lead the wounded out of Jiaofu Cave."
In the cave behind the reef, Wei An looked up and glanced at Xu Yong.
Wei An hesitated: "Then you..."
Xu Yong's voice was hoarse, "Go and report the news."
Wei An gritted his teeth, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.
Xu Yong ran in the opposite direction from Wei An, his figure moving like a ghost through the abandoned village, finally reaching the government warship moored on the shore.
"Quite a few people are still here," Xu Yong said sarcastically.
After saying that, he took out a dagger from his waist and quietly reached out.
Inside the cabin, the box of gold that had been salvaged was neatly stacked to one side. Xu Yong walked forward, lowered his eyes, and ran his fingertips over the dragon pattern on the lid of the box, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"It really was here..."
He pried open the box, and the gleaming gold ingots shimmered before his eyes, but after searching the entire box, he could not find the fish-shaped tally.
"How could there not be?"
His brows were furrowed when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the deck. He quickly slipped into the shadows.
……
Wei An, leading more than a dozen veteran pirates, was retreating towards Jiao Fu Cave along a hidden rocky path.
The sea breeze howled past, providing excellent cover for their chaotic footsteps. Just as they reached Jiaofu Cave, an accident occurred.
"Ah! Wait a minute, I twisted my ankle..."
An old man suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.
Xie Yushu walked past him without thinking and continued forward. Wei Angang was about to turn around and carry him on his back.
"Halt!" A group of soldiers immediately flanked from the side.
"The government officials have arrived."
Xie Yushu froze, and before he could draw the dagger from his waist to parry, a sharp blade of light pierced through the air.
With a "whoosh!" sound.
"You take your men and go first." Wei An blocked the knife for him, then turned around and shouted at him, swinging his broadsword and charging upwards.
Xu Yiyi's figure rushed out from the ranks of soldiers like a ghost, her long sword flashing with cold light.
"Xie Yushu! Where are you running to?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yushu trembled in fright and, disregarding everyone else, took off running.
Its two legs moved faster than a dog's.
"They're government officials! Run!"
An old pirate with a missing arm screamed and turned to crawl into a crevice in the rocks.
Others also began to scatter and flee, but the soldiers had already surrounded them. Amidst the flashing swords and the cries of agony, the sounds of screams rose and fell.
With a clear goal in mind, Xu Yiyi ran straight towards Xie Yushu, pushing through the crowd.
He frantically tried to block, but was still knocked back by her blade, and blood seeped out the moment his tiger's mouth split open.
He staggered backward, his eyes filled with terror: "Wait...wait a minute, I'm willing to surrender..."
"Now you know to beg for mercy? Too late!"
Xu Yiyi's eyes were cold as she swept her blade across the room!
"Crack!"
Xie Yushu's head flew off, and blood splattered onto the rock wall.
The headless corpse swayed before collapsing heavily to the ground.
Old Lu kicked the pirate behind Xu Yiyi away, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Wow! You're really fierce!"
[That tigress! That she-devil! That tyrant!]
