The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li and the others looked around and saw that there were quite a few islands of varying sizes in this area.

Deputy General Zhao pointed to several of the islands and said, "The Sakishima Islands are also under the rule of the King of Ryukyu, but these few..."

He pointed to several small islands off the archipelago, "Currently occupied by pirates."

Xie Changan said, "Okay. Once General Han arrives, we will set out and meet these pirates first."

Deputy General Zhao has sent a speedboat to inform Han Xiang.

As he was speaking, he heard a burst of chirping and singing birds outside.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "They arrived pretty quickly."

The two stood up and walked out.

Deputy General Zhao followed behind with a puzzled look on his face.

The ship that was supposed to notify Han Xiang had just set out, who has arrived?

The three of them came onto the deck.

A soldier came to report with a surprised look on his face: "General, a large group of skuas have come, and we can't drive them away even with the guns!"

Jiang Li hurriedly said: "We can't attack them, they are our own people!"

"What?" The soldier and Lieutenant General Zhao were both confused.

Soon, they knew what "one of us" meant.

When the group of skuas saw Jiang Li, they all flew over excitedly. One of them even landed on her shoulder, quacking, as if it was talking to her.

There were also two petrels that flew onto Xie Changan's shoulders, looking very well-behaved and obedient.

Seeing that all the soldiers were staring at them in amazement, Jiang Li smiled and said, "These seabirds are our scouts. Let them go for reconnaissance first."

Deputy General Zhao was surprised: "Your Majesty, the Duke can actually control seabirds?"

He changed his mind and thought, even dragons listen to them, so what's the big deal about driving seabirds?

He immediately showed his delight: "If seabirds can act as scouts, that would be the best!"

They fly high and see far. If we let them take a trip over the sea, wouldn't they know everything?

Jiang Li and the other person gave some instructions to this "scout team", and a flock of seabirds flew away.

Two hours later, Han Xiang's fleet also arrived.

He was also very excited when he saw the missing fleet.

I thought it was going to be very dangerous, but unexpectedly, as soon as Jing'an County and Duke Dingguo arrived, they found Lieutenant General Zhao's fleet, and even the thick fog that had lingered for the past few days disappeared without a trace.

Prince Jing'an truly deserves the title of "lucky star"!

Deputy General Zhao whispered to Han Xiang what he had seen and heard.

Han Xiang was horrified: "Someone actually set up a formation on the seabed, which caused the fog?"

Deputy General Zhao nodded. He was still frightened when he recalled the storm and waves that arose on the sea when the formation was broken.

At this time, Jiang Li also received reports from Jiaolong and Xiaoou one after another.

Jiaolong said that no remains of the fleet were found on the seabed.

Xiaoou reported that they found a group of people near Yaeyama whose clothing was obviously different from that of the natives of the island.

Jiang Li was very surprised, this meant that Yin Twelve and his fleet had not been destroyed!

The group of people on Yaeyama might be Yin Twelve and his gang!

"Where is Yaeyama? Is it far from here?"

Jiang Li turned to Han Xiang and Deputy General Zhao.

"The Yaeyama Islands are part of the Sakishima Islands. The fleet will be there in two or three hours if it moves at full speed."

Vice Admiral Zhao pointed out the location of the Yaeyama Islands on the nautical chart.

Xie Changan asked happily: "But what did Xiaoou find out?"

Jiang Li's eyebrows curved: "Twelfth brother and the others are very likely in the Yaeyama Islands!"

Han Xiang and Deputy General Zhao were delighted when they heard this: "How did the prince know this?"

"Of course it was discovered by our scout team."

Everyone was delighted, and Vice Admiral Zhao immediately ordered the fleet to set sail and rush to the Yaeyama Islands at full speed.

During the voyage, Vice Admiral Zhao gave Jiang Li and the others a detailed introduction to the situation there.

"The pirate leader entrenched in that area is nicknamed 'One-Eyed Dragon'. He is cunning and cruel by nature, and often roams around Taiwan Prefecture to plunder."

"The Yaeyama Islands are located at the westernmost part of the Sakishima Islands. If our navy wants to wipe out these pirates, we need to go around the Ryukyu border."

Han Xiang also said: "By the time we have greeted the Ryukyu Kingdom, they will have already fled without a trace!"

The one-eyed man came to rob every now and then, and then ran away, causing great trouble for the Fujian Navy.

"If General Yin and his men fall into the hands of these pirates..."

Deputy General Zhao and Han Xiang were both deeply worried.

Yaeyama Islands.

Yin Twelve and others, who were worried about by Deputy General Zhao and Han Xiang, were now sitting in a thatched hut by the sea, drinking wine, eating grilled fish, and supervising the pirates' work. Their life was so wonderful!

It turned out that they encountered a storm in the East China Sea, and the fleet was blown into the Ryukyu Trench, where they were soon discovered by the One-Eyed Dragon's minions.

When he heard that the fleet was full of spices, gems and local specialties from Southeast Asia, the One-Eyed Dragon was overjoyed. This was truly a fat sheep delivered to his doorstep!

The one-eyed man immediately led the team himself and set off in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

Yin Twelve and others were having a headache. Although the fleet suffered little loss in the storm, most of the ships were severely damaged and could not continue sailing!

They were discussing whether to send a speedboat to the nearby Ryukyu Kingdom for help when they were surrounded by pirates.

When the one-eyed man saw the fully loaded cargo ship, he was overjoyed and made a fortune!

Yin Twelve was also overjoyed. Isn't this free labor delivered to his doorstep? What a profit!

Although the pirates were numerous and powerful, they were facing the well-trained and battle-hardened Dongchang secret guards!

What's more, there is a team of Mohist disciples with all kinds of strange weapons, such as ecstasy bullets, chain guns, flamethrowers...

There are even many traps on the ship!

In a few seconds, the pirates surrendered.

Yin Twelve originally wanted to rob the pirates' ships directly, but the One-Eyed Dragon only brought one ship, which could not accommodate their cargo. So the pirates had to tow several large ships back to Yaeyama.

After returning to their lair, the One-Eyed Dragon still wanted to resist, but how could a group of rabble defeat a well-equipped regular army?

Yin Twelve and his men brazenly occupied the pirates' lair and ordered the pirates to repair their ship.

Hearing that there had been heavy fog in the Ryukyu Trench for days and sailing was impossible, they could only set up camp here and wait for the fog to dissipate.

That day, the sentry came to report: "General Yin, the fog has dissipated!"

Yin Twelve was overjoyed: "Great, we can prepare to return home!"

Just as the Mohist disciples were urging the pirates to speed up the repair of the ship, another sentinel came to report: "A fleet has been spotted!"

Yin Twelve hurriedly climbed up the high sentry post, put the clairvoyance close to his eyes, and looked carefully.

At this time, the fog had dissipated, the sea was calm and the view was very clear.

But I saw a fleet coming from afar, with an orderly formation and the flag flying on the bow. Wasn’t it the flag of the Great Chu Army?

Yin Twelve was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help cheering: "It's the Fujian Navy! It's the fleet of Da Chu, they are here to pick us up!"

The Mohist disciples were also very excited, but at the same time a little puzzled. Why did the Fujian navy come so quickly?

How did they know that their fleet was in the Yaeyama Islands?

"Quick, get the signal flag!"

Yin Twelve asked someone to fetch signal flags to convey information, and used the signal flags to signal specific flags on the high sentry post.
