They all acted like honest fishermen, just like real fishermen.

If Xu Yiyi hadn't seen them before, she would definitely not have noticed these people.

"Yi Yi, are you a bad guy?"

A Yue's eyes twinkled, revealing her intelligence.

It can be seen that even if a person's head is injured, he will still be smart.

"You stay here and help Er'er pack up the stall. I'll go take the meat to Uncle Taiye."

Xu Yiyi answered the question irrelevantly and weighed the pork in her hand. She went back to the island every day, so Er'er didn't suspect anything.

After packing up the stall, he placed the tools he had brought on the small wooden cart, leaving a small space on it for Wu Yuan's small cradle.

Xu Yiyi put the things in her hands into the car and put the child in her arms back into the cradle.

He turned and left, as if he had thought of something.

He turned around and kissed Wu Yuan on the forehead. The child had just woken up and showed a toothless smile.

"Silly! Bring good luck to big sister!"

Xu Yiyi touched the child's head.

Er'er saw him standing beside her with his hands on his hips, pouting and not saying a word.

Xu understood everything and kissed the little girl on the forehead. The lady selling shrimp cakes not far away looked at her happily.

"I also wish good luck to my elder sister."

Er'er smiled and touched his forehead.

A Yue looked at him thoughtfully, and Xu Yiyi slipped away quickly while she was still not reacting.

Back in the alley, A Yue suddenly stopped and let go of her hand. With a clang, the wooden barrel filled with rice dew on the wooden cart almost fell off.

"what happened?"

Er'er held Wu Yuan and looked at A Yue curiously, only to see that she had a wronged look on her face.

"Yi Yi didn't kiss me."

Er Er understood as soon as he heard it, he was jealous.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's talk about it when Big Sister comes back!"

Er'er coaxed her patiently. Although A Yue was a big girl, her temper was very much like a child.

So she was very patient when taking care of A Yue.

"No, I want to go back and find Yi Yi."

After saying that, A Yue left Wu Yuan and Er Er and ran back to the dock.

After Lin Ke received the news from Sihai, he immediately came out with a team of officers.

At the dock, these pirates shuttled between merchant ships and large fishing boats, and no one knew what they had placed.

Xu Yiyi crouched down and ran to a merchant ship of Uncle Qingshan to check.

It was glued to the hull with fish bladder glue. Xu Yiyi pulled it off with a little force, revealing a bag of black stuff.

She leaned in a little closer and sniffed it. A pungent smell of sulfur made her nose sting slightly, with a faint smell of saltpeter.

Is this gunpowder?

Just as she was thinking, Lin Ke appeared at the dock with his men.

Xu Yiyi was worried that the pirates would discover him, so he hurried to meet them.

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Ke widened his eyes and looked at Xu Yiyi with some anger.

"Don't be angry, look what I found."

Xu Yiyi handed over the thing in her hand. Lin Ke looked at her with some confusion.

"Smell it, is it gunpowder?"

Xu Yiyi was a little unsure, and Lin Ke leaned over to smell it.

"Isn't this something that's produced when refining an elixir? What a fuss!"

Lin Ke didn't care too much about this thing. He had never even heard of what Xu Yiyi said.

When Xu Yiyi heard this, she immediately confirmed it, because gunpowder was first discovered during the alchemy process. The ancients accidentally discovered this thing in order to make the elixir of immortality.

"This is gunpowder. It will explode when it comes into contact with fire. These pirates are probably planning to use it to set fire to the ships at the dock to prevent you from sending out support. The Shangdao side should be taking action."

Some of the official ships from the provincial capital were parked near the dock. The pirates there could not pass through, so they ignited the gunpowder and spread the fire over there, or the pirates took advantage of the chaos to destroy the official ships over there.

It can delay a lot of time.

When Lin Ke heard this, he wanted to ask why, but he did remember hearing about the phenomenon of explosion during alchemy, so this must be true?

"The hull is waterproofed with tung oil. It's like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Even the slightest spark can cause a major fire."

As soon as Xu Yiyi finished speaking, Lin Ke immediately ordered his men to remove the gunpowder, and all the official ships were dispatched in an instant.

A Yue also came to Xu Yiyi's side.

Xu Yiyi, holding a dagger, took A Yue to find the two pirates who were originally in the wonton stall.

The two men had just finished gluing the gunpowder with their men, and now they felt safe and secure, so they lay on the boat and waited.

Xu Yiyi was ruthless enough. He jumped onto the fishing boat and pinned one of the men down.

The dagger was pointed at the person's neck, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

As soon as the other person made a move, he was kicked into the water by A Yue who followed closely.

The force was so great that it made people faint.

"You probably don't know? I do have pretty good eyesight, and I can read lips, so guess how much of what you're saying I know?"

Xu Yiyi moved slowly and methodically, and the sharp dagger slid gently across the man's neck.

In an instant, blood began to seep out of his neck.

In Xu Yiyi's previous life, when she was in college, she was curious about lip reading and studied it for a period of time.

I never thought it would come in handy here.

"I didn't say anything. I don't understand. I don't know what you mean."

The pirate wanted to struggle, but A Yue stepped on him.

"Don't you understand?"

what--

The man let out a sharp scream as his little finger was cut off.

"Do you understand?"

Xu Yiyi was eager to teach at this moment and couldn't wait to teach his students.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I said the wrong thing, I shouldn't have said that about you, nor about your sister..."

This man was the one who had lustful thoughts about Xu Yiyi and Er'er at the wonton stall. He originally thought Xu Yiyi was a young girl, so he didn't dare to use a knife. He felt inexplicably good seeing her pressing them with his knees.

He's being stubborn and refuses to speak.

Unexpectedly, he met a female devil.

Xu Yiyi's dagger pierced into the man's thigh and rotated forcefully. Blood gushed out and the man immediately fainted from the pain.

A Yue seemed a little moved, and just when Xu Yiyi thought that she had scared A Yue, she kicked the man into the water again.

The cold sea water submerged the man's body and he immediately woke up.

Ah Yue grabbed the man's hair and stuffed his head into the water again and again as if it were a game.

The pirate was in so much pain that he wished Xu Yiyi would stab him directly.

"Ayue, stop playing around and bring the people up here."

There were twelve people in the group, and Xu Yiyi captured the leader in less than a cup of tea.

The remaining ten people were squatting near the sticky gunpowder with fierce eyes, which was the biggest difference between them and the fishermen.

In a short while, the police captured all the pirates on the dock.

Lin Ke boarded a boat and prepared to set out to provide support on the sea trade route.

More than a dozen grain transport ships were loaded with salt and ready to be shipped to the south, escorted by five official ships and some merchant ships.

These merchant ships were equipped with all kinds of silk, tea, pottery, grain, etc.

The pirates' target is them.

The island where Xu Yiyi's fishing village is located and the island where Guling Village is located are the only way to get there.

At this time, the pirates were lying in ambush in Guling Village.

A Yue's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Ke getting on the boat.

Xu Yiyi noticed something and immediately turned around and ran back.

But he never expected that A Yue would still be taken onto the official ship.
