Parents are busy farming

Time passed quickly, and Ye Zifen and his fleet had been sailing for nearly half a month. In two days, they would reach the island where the pirates were.

At this time, the old captain came to Ye Zifen with a serious face to discuss countermeasures. He said worriedly: "What should we do next? They are a group of pirates! I heard that the man threatened last time that he would never let us go. We have to think of a way to deal with this matter quickly."

After all, their ship was loaded with food. If something really happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Zifen thought for a moment and replied, "How about this, let the fishing boat stay here for two days. We will go to the front to explore the situation first, and come back to inform everyone after we have solved the obstacles."

The old captain nodded and agreed: "Safety is the most important thing when sailing on the sea."

So they decided to act according to the previous plan. Ye Zifen and Mu Hongzhou led one boat to the distance, while the other two protected the fishing boat one after the other.

This time, there were some changes in the personnel on the ship that Ye Zifen and his crew were riding on, because everyone needed to learn how to operate these weapons in actual combat.

Mu Hongzhou asked Ye Zifen: "Do you plan to go directly to the island to find them, or fish them out?"

Ye Zifen thought for a while and said, "Let's go fishing first! But I don't think we can catch anything this time. It would be great if we could get to the island and learn more about the situation there."

Mu Hongzhou nodded, thinking that what Ye Zifen said made sense.

He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Well, that's true. We need more information about the island and those pirates. However, it's not easy to get to the island."

Ye Zifen sighed and continued, "Yeah, I know it's difficult, but if we can find a way or take advantage of some opportunities, maybe we can succeed. After all, we need to understand their strength, weapons and equipment, the terrain of the island, and so on. Only in this way can we formulate an effective strategy."

Mu Hongzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can start from other aspects, such as communicating with local fishermen or businessmen to collect clues about pirate activities. But all these require time and resources."

Ye Zifen listened to Mu Hongzhou's suggestion and nodded in agreement. She added: "Well, you are right. We can try a few more methods to see which one is most effective. At the same time, we must also be prepared to deal with various possible situations."

Mu Hongzhou smiled and patted Ye Zifen on the shoulder to show his encouragement. He said, "Okay, don't worry too much. We will find a way. As long as we work together, we will be able to solve this problem."

There was another silence between the two. After a long while, Ye Zifen said, "Hey! If only I hadn't shown up last time, I could have pretended to be caught by them and followed them to the island..."

Mu Hongzhou said: "You can try this time, but we can't afford to waste so much time. Now we can only deal with it as it comes."

Ye Zifen nodded.

Seeing that the ship was about to reach the place where the last battle took place, Ye Zifen couldn't help but look around.

"Don't those pirates patrol? Then how do they rob passing ships? Do ships pass by here every day?"

Mu Hongzhou said: "Do you think it's possible? How many places have such developed maritime trade?"

Ye Zifen said, "Then let's go a little further and let out the fishing line a little longer."

Mu Hongzhou replied: "Okay."

In fact, they had already entered the opponent's surveillance area, but they had not discovered it yet.

Ever since the last battle between the two sides, the pirates have stepped up patrols in this sea area.

At this time, the people on the island already knew that their ship had arrived. No one showed up because they were more cautious at this time. After all, their fighting power had been experienced last time.

"Boss, what should we do next? Should we take out that iron thing?" a pirate said to his leader.

When the leader heard that Ye Zifen and his crew's boat was approaching, he boarded a small boat to check it out. In order to avoid being discovered, he even dived into the water.

Until he saw the figure that had been appearing in his mind these days, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the hatred in his eyes was about to burst out.

It was indeed the same boat as last time.

He thought to himself: "Last time they lost because they underestimated the enemy. This time they won't be so lucky!"

He immediately ordered, "Go back and prepare your weapons. We are going to fight them today and we must take them down this time."

"But boss, our iron lumps can only be placed on large ships, and there are only large ships on the entire island...why don't you go and talk to the boss in person?"

The person who was speaking looked embarrassed. After all, this matter was indeed a bit difficult to handle.

Yes, when robbing on the road, people generally don’t need a big boat, it’s light and they can come and go freely.

Boxing requires a lot of people and the speed is not very fast, so it is not suitable for them. They are not the kind of pirates who always float on the sea.

They have islands, so they only operate in nearby waters, and the ships they choose should be light.

But the situation is different now. Facing such a big guy, we definitely won’t be able to do without the use of iron lumps.

"Row!"

The man gritted his teeth, looked at the big ship that was getting closer and closer, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must take it down.

"You guys go and prepare. I'll go tell the boss that they must leave their ship to me this time. I'll teach them a painful lesson."

After saying this, he quickly returned to the island with his men and began to prepare for battle.

On the other side, Ye Zifen and the others also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them.

"Strange, shouldn't they have appeared long ago? Why can't we see a single person? Did we overlook something?"

Ye Zifen frowned and became secretly alert.

Their ship sailed in this sea area for half a day and slowed down, but they did not see the pirates.

"Have you found us difficult to deal with and are afraid to come?"

Someone speculated, but Ye Zifen shook her head: "Impossible, these pirates dare to see blood. If they were really afraid of us, they would not rob at sea."

At this moment, a crew member suddenly shouted to Ye Zifen: "Look over there!"

His voice contained a hint of nervousness and excitement, which made Ye Zifen turn her head to look in the direction he was pointing.

Ye Zifen looked in the direction the man's finger pointed, and sure enough, she saw a medium-sized ship slowly sailing towards them.

There is a flag on the ship. If it’s not the pirates’, then whose is it?
