The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

The pirates didn't care about their identities and just tied them up tightly one by one.

The pirates' means of transportation are narrow boats that can only accommodate a few people.

Therefore, Li Chengfeng and his companions were also separated, with one person thrown onto each small boat.

Following Li Chengfeng's suggestion, everyone tacitly agreed and chose to obey.

Seeing this, the pirates were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking that these people were not difficult to deal with, so they did not commit too many atrocities against them.

As the pirates controlled the boat and flexibly moved across the water, Li Chengfeng carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The waterway was complicated, but the pirates were familiar with the terrain. The boat moved quickly in the water, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at an abandoned village.

The village covers a large area, with dilapidated houses on both sides of the criss-crossing paths. It is obviously the base of this group of pirates.

"Throw them into the woodshed!" the leader ordered, his tone tinged with disdain. "Let them starve tonight, and we'll see what happens tomorrow."

Li Chengfeng and others were dragged off the boat by the pirates and walked towards the woodshed.

The woodshed was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of mold. They were crammed into the narrow space, and the door was heavily locked by the pirates. A few hideous laughs came from outside.

"Just stay put tonight, you will suffer tomorrow!" The voices of the pirates gradually faded away, leaving Li Chengfeng and the others sitting opposite each other, thinking about the next countermeasures in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, you have suffered. I will untie the rope for you right now!" Ji Ye said to Li Chengfeng in a low voice.

"No need. I observed this place when I came here. There are many waterways and countless lakes of all sizes. This group of pirates are familiar with the terrain and are skilled in boating. We can't escape."

"We've been busy all day, so let's take this opportunity to rest and recover some strength."

After saying that, Li Chengfeng closed his eyes.

Everyone also relaxed their bodies and adjusted their breathing.

Li Chengfeng closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the plot of the game. How did he pass this level?

After thinking for a while, Li Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes and remembered!

The plot of the game is that the mother of the pirate leader has an eye disease, but she has seen many doctors but her condition has not improved.

The leader of the pirates is a filial son. As long as you help him cure his mother's eye disease, you can get away with it.

There is a hidden mission in this level. In a village near this village, there is a wandering doctor. He discovered a rare herb near the village and has been studying the medicinal properties of this herb for some time.

Find this miracle doctor and help him complete the task of improving the efficacy of the medicine, then you can gain the doctor's favor and take him to see the eyes of the mother of the water bandit leader.

With a plan in mind, Li Chengfeng relaxed his body and closed his eyes to recover his strength.

The next day, sunlight shone through the cracks in the woodshed, and everyone woke up.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Tiezhu asked in a low voice first.

Others also looked at him with concern.

"I'm fine. I've already figured out how to handle this situation. All you have to do is follow my orders."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the emperor would think of a way to escape so quickly. Their admiration for His Majesty increased even more.

"Yes." No one said anything more.

As time went by, there was a noise outside the door. The pirates were coming to take people away!

With a "bang", the door was pushed open.

Everyone turned their heads slightly to avoid the glaring sunlight.

"Come on, pull these fat sheep out!" The arrogant voice of the water bandit leader came, and it seemed that he was going to interrogate them in the yard.

A few minions came in to arrest people. Li Chengfeng stood up and took the initiative to say to them, "Let me go first."

"Young Master!" Tie Zhu and others looked at Li Chengfeng worriedly, but he just glanced at them.

Immediately they remembered Li Chengfeng's instructions and lowered their heads.

The pirates were also stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with each other, as if surprised by Li Chengfeng's courage.

The leader of the water bandits was also startled when he saw this, then chuckled and said, "He's not a coward at all."

When Li Chengfeng came in front of him, he looked him up and down, as if he was assessing his worth.

"Tell me, where do you live? How much money do you have?" The pirate leader picked up the small teapot and took a sip.

Li Chengfeng replied calmly, "My family lives in the capital. We have some assets, and my brothers and sisters manage the money. I am only responsible for traveling and enjoying the scenery."

"Oh, from the way you sound, you seem proud of it instead of being ashamed. So, tell me, if I ask your family for money to redeem you, would your brothers and sisters be willing to empty their savings for you?"

"Of course. Although I am not engaged in production, I can tell fortunes." Li Chengfeng said in a profound tone.

"Fortune-telling? You? Tsk!" The pirate leader said disdainfully, "Don't talk nonsense with me. Tell me your home address as soon as possible."

"This young master has seen the face of the boss. Is there anyone in the boss's family who is sick?" Li Chengfeng still did not respond to the words of the water bandit leader and continued to talk to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pirate leader's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"Is it true that someone in your family is ill?" Li Chengfeng asked him back.

"How do you know?" the pirate leader blurted out!

After saying this, he regretted it. He was actually being led by the nose by this prisoner!

"This young master calculated it." Li Chengfeng said seriously, "Besides, this person has a close relationship with you. You also want to cure her illness, right?"

The leader of the pirates also became serious: "What else have you figured out?"

"Untie me first, and then prepare some food. I will tell you when I'm full." Li Chengfeng said as a matter of course.

After staring at Li Chengfeng for a long time without blinking, the leader of the water bandits called on his minions to bring him some food.

After his hands were untied, Li Chengfeng rubbed his wrists. He had never suffered such an injustice since he came to this world.

After stretching his body, Li Chengfeng sat opposite the pirate leader and ate his meal.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Chengfeng wiped his mouth elegantly and said, "Although you look fierce, your heart isn't that dark."

"Hmph!" The pirate leader drank another sip of tea without commenting.

"The one who is sick in your family is your mother, right? She... suffers from an eye disease?" Li Chengfeng asked directly.

The bandit leader paused, staring into Li Chengfeng's eyes and replied, "Exactly."

"I guess the boss must have asked many doctors to cure his mother's eyes." Li Chengfeng said calmly.

Putting down the teapot, the leader of the water bandits said seriously, "My mother has been troubled by eye problems for a long time. I have sought out famous doctors, but none of them have been of any use. Does your Excellency have any good solutions?"

Rubbing his still sore wrist, Li Chengfeng said, "Boss, do you trust me?"

"As long as you have a way to save my mother, I will believe you!" said the leader of the water bandits firmly.

"Okay, since you're straightforward, I won't beat around the bush with you." Li Chengfeng stared at the bandit leader and said, "I just had a divination, and a well-traveled doctor is in a nearby village. He's the one who saved your mother."

"Let my people go first. I'll have my guards take your people to find the miracle doctor."
