Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 234: : pm, changing boats, the cash cow is gone

The "Balekai" was plunged into chaos again after Wadiye and Pu Yama led their men out of the cabin one after another.

There are enemies among me and I among the enemy. The gangway can no longer be blocked and more and more people are injured and killed.

Yang Yuan saw this and felt very distressed.

It was his first time leading troops into battle, although he only led a few dozen people.

How could a man who was leading troops for the first time not be touched when he saw his soldiers charging forward one after another without hesitation and faithfully carrying out every order he gave?

A kind army cannot be commanded, which only means that after weighing the pros and cons, you must rationally make the best choice. It does not mean that your emotions should remain calm, as that would require a heart of stone.

In the melee, Yang Yuan grabbed Leng Yuchan's arm, pulled her to his side, and whispered in her ear: "Lead the remaining people to fight while moving forward, open the gangway, and let the Arabs below come up."

Yang Yuan held up his sword to block the knife that the Arab warrior offered, and continued to say to Leng Yuchan: "Then, wait for an opportunity to lead our people to retreat to the second deck, and when they are not prepared, jump on board and board the ship. We can't stay here anymore!"

The big ship was about to be destroyed by fire.

The flames were slowly spreading on the first floor, and at the most intense point, the flames had already licked the side of the second floor.

Yang Yuan knew that once the fire broke out of the bottom cabin, with the help of the sea breeze, the burning speed would be several times faster than before.

But their reinforcements were still fighting on the periphery, and no one knew when they would be able to break in, so he had to consider how to hold on longer.

Now there is a Arab merchant ship coming alongside. The two ships have set up "hooks" and pedals on the second deck. Although it is very dangerous to "board" them, staying here will definitely lead to being buried in a sea of ​​fire.

Leng Yuchan's ears are naturally sensitive, and the airflow and sound passing through her ear holes make her feel unbearable.

Especially if it's a man, or a man she doesn't dislike very much, it would be even more unbearable.

Before, when they were in the Privy Council, Yang Yuan had deliberately teased her and had spoken into her ear, which had made Leng Yuchan upset and her body weak.

At this time, Yang Yuan was breathing rapidly and his body temperature rose after a fierce fight. His hot breath sprayed into her ears, making Leng Yuchan even more upset.

As soon as Yang Yuan finished speaking, she quickly distanced herself from him, rubbed her ears casually, and replied with a slightly red face, "Okay!"

Seeing her running quickly towards the gangway, Yang Yuan also started fighting with his sword in hand.

On the top deck, the three parties were in disarray.

Yang Yuan wanted to make one last search to see if there were any of his people scattered around so that he could notify them to gather near the gangway.

With a "bang", Yang Yuan kicked open the cabin door.

Ever since Wadiye and Pu Yama rushed out, the cabin had been unattended.

The hatch door banged open and shut with the erratic wind as the ship burned.

Yang Yuan kicked the cabin door open and took a quick look inside.

He saw some women with their bellies exposed but their faces covered, or with their heads and foreheads covered with cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Yang Yuan shouted, "The ship is on fire and will sink soon. If you don't want to die, escape to the second deck and get on another ship!"

A dozen women in the cabin saw him standing at the door with a sword in hand, his body covered in blood and sparks flying all over the sky behind him. He looked like a demon that had rushed out from hell.

They couldn't help but scream in fear, and they all pressed themselves against the wall. Some even knelt down, muttering something.

They basically didn't understand what Yang Yuan said. They just wanted to stay here and kill the groups of people on the boat clearly.

Whoever wins will be their new master. For them who are submissive, there is no difficulty in making a choice.

Yang Yuan stamped his feet, pointed outward, and shouted, "Run, run!"

Then he went around to the other deck that he had not yet searched.

If these women don't run away, there's nothing he can do.

There was chaos on the deck now. After a series of fights, he was already exhausted. He couldn't even carry a woman, let alone so many people.

Yang Yuan rushed to the other deck. More than a dozen women were still huddled in the cabin like quails, with no intention of running out to find out what was going on.

At this time, the blonde girl ran over.

The only passage between the upper and lower decks was the gangway, which was guarded by Yang Yuan's spearmen. The Arabs below could not come up, and she could not go down either.

Anyone who saw her would be hacked by the people of Puyama and Wadiye, so she could only swim around the boat and hide everywhere.

She heard Yang Yuan's shout. She was the only one among the group of women who was proficient in the language of the Song people.

This is also thanks to Pu Yama's careful cultivation, because Pu Yama originally planned to present her to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Pu Yama believed that with her beauty, she would definitely win the favor of the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

In this way, his Pu family would become the new nobles in the Song Dynasty court, and perhaps even tempt the Song Emperor to turn his interest to the West.

Then, their Pu family will become a link between China and the West, bringing together both sides and benefiting from it.

Perhaps one day, the Pu family could grow into a maritime governor supported and appointed by both the Arab Empire and the Song Empire.

His ambition was actually quite big, and his plan was very long-term, and it was not something that could be accomplished in one or two generations. For this reason, Pu Yama valued this blonde girl very much and invited famous teachers to teach her the language, writing, and etiquette of the Song people...

Therefore, when she escaped to the vicinity of the cabin, she was able to hear Yang Yuan's shouting clearly.

She lived with these female slaves for more than a year and they developed feelings for each other.

So she ran over and shouted into the cabin, "Come out, the ship is on fire and will soon engulf the entire ship. Go to the second floor and get on another ship! Quick, as long as you don't run into the swords, no one will hurt you, go!"

She waved her arms repeatedly, and the firelight outside the cabin became more and more obvious, giving her white robe and golden hair a golden-red edge.

She spoke in the Arab language, and the dozen or so female slaves in the cabin then understood what the Song man's waving and stamping meant, and they ran out in panic.

At this time, Leng Yuchan, following Yang Yuan's orders, had already moved away the people who were blocking the gangway, and the people below rushed forward.

Among them were men from Wadiyya and men from Pu’amah.

They did not know that Wadiye and Pu Yama had broken up, and they hurried onto the deck to look for their respective masters.

Wadiye was being carried by the people who found him and was fleeing towards the gangway when he suddenly saw the blonde girl who had cut his ankle. He immediately screamed, "Kill her!"

Immediately, four warriors rushed out from the crowd protecting him and rushed towards the blonde girl with swords drawn.

The blonde girl turned around and walked away, just fighting without engaging in a head-on confrontation with them.

But as she ran, she met Pu Yama who was walking hurriedly and was protected by a group of warriors.

When Pu Yama saw the blonde girl, his eyes lit up immediately. He was afraid that it would be difficult to keep the treasure on his ship.

Although it is not starting from scratch, it is still very difficult to accumulate such a huge wealth again.

At this time, he needed the full support of the Quanzhou local government even more.

The prefect of Quanzhou has just taken office. According to the rule of three-year term, he has to govern Quanzhou for three years.

If he could get the full support of the Quanzhou prefect and have him make things convenient for himself within these three years, then if he was faster, his fleet could make two round trips between the east and the west within three years.

This would earn him a huge fortune.

Of course, when the term of office of the Quanzhou prefect expires, he can also spend money to mobilize the people of Quanzhou to petition the court.

If the local elders earnestly persuaded him to stay, and as long as the imperial court could make arrangements, the prefect of Quanzhou could continue to serve as an official for another three years.

Six years is enough time for him to take root in Quanzhou!
Therefore, this golden stepping stone seemed particularly precious in his eyes.

Pu Yama immediately pointed at the blonde girl and shouted excitedly, "Catch her! You must catch her! I want her alive! She must be alive!"

As soon as the blonde girl saw Pu Yama, she turned and left, and several of Pu Yama's warriors immediately chased after her.

Wadiye's men chased after them, swinging their swords to kill the blonde girl, but Pu Yama's men immediately rushed over to stop them.

Among these two groups, there were people who had just fought in the cabin. In a few words, they explained to their companions their current relationship with each other, and both sides attacked without holding back.

The blonde girl was caught in the middle, one wanted to protect her, the other wanted to kill her, but she had nowhere to go, and was in danger of moving forward or backward.

Suddenly, a warrior from Wadiye slashed with his sword. The blonde girl raised her sword to block, but her wrist felt sore and the sword in her hand was knocked away.

"Swoosh!" Another knife swept towards her. The blonde girl stepped back hastily, her lower back hitting the side of the boat, and her body involuntarily flipped outward.

"Catch her, don't let her die..."

Pu Yama stretched out his skinny old hand and shouted in despair.

But the blonde girl screamed, and before anyone could catch her, she flipped over the side of the boat and fell into the vast ocean.

"Do not……"

Pu Yama let out a tragic cry and staggered to the side of the ship. A blonde girl in a white robe was falling down, and the wind blew up her white skirt and long golden hair.

She was on the outside of the ship's side. If she had been on the inside, she would have fallen onto the second deck, but on this side, she would have fallen straight into the sea.

Pu Yama watched the beautiful figure fall into the sea and felt extremely sad.

Was that person who fell into the sea a woman?

No, it was five bags... five hundred bags, five thousand bags, fifty thousand bags of gold coins, which poured into the sea.

Pu Yama's eyes were red and he looked across with gritted teeth.

Opposite him, Wadiye was carried by two people and surrounded by a group of guards, walking towards him with a sneer.

Pu Yama stretched out his trembling hand, and the gems on the rings on his hand emitted blurry colors under the firelight.

Pu Yama gnashed his teeth and cursed loudly: "Wadiye! You son of a bitch! You stinking cow dung! Someone come! Kill him! Kill him for me, let him go to hell!"

The warriors around Pu Yama rushed forward.

Wadiye was not willing to be outdone. He waved his hand and the warriors around him swarmed out, rushing forward with swords raised.
