Parents are busy farming

However, things are not that simple.

Although Ye Zifen, Mu Hongzhou and their fleet kept dodging, small boats kept appearing in the distance, and it was obvious that they were being followed.

Ye Zifen had not originally planned to hide forever. After all, she had enough power to deal with these people.

Since the other party is unwilling to let them go, it is better to face them directly and meet them.

So she looked at the map again and carefully studied the terrain nearby.

After a while, she suddenly gave the order: "Move the ship east for ten nautical miles, then stop and prepare for battle. At the same time, notify all ships to turn off all lights."

Mu Hongzhou frowned and said worriedly, "We are too big a target. It may not be easy to play hide-and-seek with them."

Ye Zifen smiled and answered confidently, "I'm not afraid of them, but the night is a little disadvantageous to us. Since they dare to come over to check the situation, they are obviously very familiar with the nearby sea area. It will be too difficult for us to hide from them. However, it will be dawn in more than an hour, and then we will let them see our strength."

Mu Hongzhou suddenly realized something and said, "So you sailed ten miles east to make them think we were scared and chased us on purpose. You were going fishing!"

Ye Zifen showed a proud smile, "Not only that, I was the one who took the bait willingly!"

Then she explained, "We will pass by here often in the future. It would be too troublesome if we have to deal with them every time. I want to teach them a lesson this time so that they won't dare to provoke us easily again. By the way, remember to hang our caravan's newly designed flag on the sail. In the future, whenever they see our flag, they will stay away."

After hearing this, Mu Hongzhou couldn't help but tease, "Are you so confident?"

Ye Zifen answered firmly: "Of course, I have full confidence in my masters, and I also have full confidence in the ship I designed. My ship is equipped with many advanced weapons, and I will let everyone see them today. In this way, everyone will no longer be afraid to follow us out in the future."

In fact, Mu Hongzhou didn’t know whether other people were looking forward to it, but at this moment she herself was very much looking forward to what would happen next.

Afterwards, Ye Zifen returned to her room. After a while, she came out with an object in her hand and handed it to the old captain.

Ye Zifen said to the old captain with a serious expression: "You must help me hang the flag, and then you go to the fishing boat and wait after the boat stops. This boat is quite dangerous."

The old captain knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and would never act stubbornly. He nodded heavily to show his agreement.

After the ship stopped, the old captain left, and at this time all the lights on the ship had been turned off.

Ye Zifen was not idle. She quickly made arrangements, letting Mu Hongzhou temporarily serve as the captain of the ship, and adjusted the direction to prepare for a fight with the enemy.

At the same time, she also arranged a large ship to guard the safety of the fishing boats.

Finally, she placed the remaining large ship as a reserve, ready to support the other ships at any time.

After everything was arranged, she got off the big ship alone and rowed the small boat towards the place where the boat had just appeared.

Since she was on night duty every night in the caravan, her night vision was much better than others.

When she had rowed about five nautical miles, she finally spotted the small boat that had been following them.

She laughed inwardly: Such a small boat is so useless at such a slow speed.

So, she set off a firecracker into the air without hesitation, indicating the location to Mu Hongzhou and other crew members, telling them that they should come over here.

With a "bang", firecrackers exploded in the air, and a brilliant firelight streaked across the sky.

This fire not only allowed Mu Hongzhou to know Ye Zifen's exact location, but also exposed the ship Ye Zifen was on.

However, the pirates did not realize this.

They mistakenly thought that the caravan had just become aware of their presence and therefore sounded the alarm.

Therefore, these pirates did not feel any fear, but were extremely excited and kept cheering loudly.

They naively thought that they could intimidate Ye Zifen in this way, but they never expected that Ye Zifen had already prepared the bow and arrow and was ready to shoot when the time was right.

Just as the pirates were immersed in joy, Ye Zifen released his right hand without hesitation, and an arrow flew out like lightning.

Because it was dark before dawn and visibility was poor, the pirates did not realize that danger was approaching quietly.

They were still immersed in the cheers, unaware that the shadow of death was already looming over their heads.

Suddenly, two screams broke the silence of the night. The two pirates fell to the ground, lost their balance, and fell into the cold sea.

The people who were originally in high spirits were instantly stunned and in a panic.

However, before they could come to their senses, several more arrows whizzed in and took two lives again.

When there were only two pirates left on the ship, Ye Zifen stopped what he was doing.

She looked at the two survivors quietly, with a faint smile on her face.

The two pirates were terrified and didn't know what to do.

Their eyes widened, faces filled with disbelief.

They never dreamed that they would be in such a miserable state.

Ye Zifen calmly put away her bow and arrow and watched the two pirates row away in panic.

Just then, Mu Hongzhou and others finally arrived at the scene.

They looked at what was happening before their eyes, their hearts filled with confusion and surprise.

After Ye Zifen quickly jumped from the small boat to the big ship, she and her masters who were ready to fight at any time waited quietly for the arrival of those people.

Mu Hongzhou asked her in confusion: "Why did you let those people go just now?"

Ye Zifen replied calmly: "I deliberately let them go back to report the news."

Mu Hongzhou then asked: "If that's the case, then why did you kill a few of them?"

Ye Zifen explained: "We want to let them know that we have very powerful people on our side. This way, when they go out again, they won't just send out those small fry, but will send more powerful enemies."

Mu Hongzhou stared at Ye Zifen for a while and asked in confusion: "Is there any difference between the two?"

Ye Zifen said affirmatively: "Of course, people are usually skeptical about things they haven't seen with their own eyes. Only when they see it in person or hear it from someone with authority will they really take it to heart."
