Early in the morning.

Li Zhongze was tied up and sent to a passenger ship, and his mouth was tightly blocked with rags.

He didn't struggle because he knew that struggle was useless. Under the threat of the identity of the small flag of Bai Shi Er Jinyiwei, the monks who escorted him would not care about what he wanted to say except for using the sticks in their hands to make him calmer.

Even if he wanted to tell these monks about the guards, there was something that could save their lives.

However, with no expression on his face, he was filled with regret at this moment.

He knew that his life was in Bai Shier's hands, but he dared to mock him twice.

Thinking about it today, Li Zhongze didn’t know what happened to him last night.

Maybe it was because of the threat of death that he was a little lost?

But no matter how much Li Zhongze regrets now, he can no longer change the current situation.

He became the stone used by Bai Shier to cast stones and ask for directions, and became the guinea pig for experiments.

Because he was not sure whether Zhang Fu had contacted the pirates after just one night, and even more so whether Zhang Fu was able to intercept the ship, he could only choose to let Li Zhongze, a guy who had become a traitor and a thorn in Zhang Fu's eyes, be this guinea pig.

The ship Yang Fan set sail, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan stood on the dock and watched the ship gradually drift away, their emotions were a little complicated.

This time, he did not ask Hu Xiaolin's guards to escort Li Zhongze, but instead used the Jinyiwei token to ask the monks in the temple to select a few monks to escort him.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell the other party about the possible interception of pirates at sea.

In other words, if Li Zhongze's words were unfortunately said, the monks in the guardhouse and the boatmen on the boat would probably be in danger.

Even though there are not many people who die at his hands, Bai Shier is still not very comfortable. Compared to killing people with his own hands, this kind of person who died indirectly because of him makes him feel even more uncomfortable.

As for Zhu Jinxuan, this is undoubtedly even more so, even though she comes from the royal family.

Only Hu Xiaolin was not fluctuating in his heart, and he couldn't help but blame Bai Shier for sending these monks to the courtyard guards. At least one of the big guards must accompany them. Otherwise, when something really happened, he would not be able to raise a signal to tell them about the situation in time.

Obviously, in his opinion, as long as he can protect Zhu Jinxuan's life and complete the task, even if he and his guards are all dead, even if there are many people who die.

Bai Shier didn't want to argue with him, so he had to make up a reason casually:

"The guards of the inner guards are all masters. If the pirates really dare to land on the island and loot, every master of the inner guard can play a greater role in order to protect the princess' safety in the chaos."

...

When the thick black smoke rose, Bai Shier discovered it immediately.

Then, his heart, which had been uneasy, completely sank.

This is a signal, a signal from someone intercepting the ship.

Although it is not too far from the main island or even Ningbo Prefecture, due to the sea ban, it is still difficult to escape the harassment of pirates on the sea so close to the land.

Therefore, before departure, Bai Shier seemed to have inadvertently reminded him: "Be careful of pirates." Then, he asked the ship workers on the ship to prepare. If they found pirates or unknown ships, they would immediately ignite the smoke column and report the message to the island, so that the island could send ships to support and respond.

At that time, Bai Shier felt that Zhang Fu had not had time to contact the pirates after only one night, but the black smoke rising not far away made Bai Shier throw away the last bit of luck in his heart. Next, he had to prepare for the most critical situation.

...

At this time, on the sea surface, the ship that had just sailed out not long ago was already in chaos.

As they who survive on the island, they have actually heard the stories of pirates, but when they really encountered pirates, no one could still keep their calmness.

But they never thought that it was this panic that invisibly made the situation that was already unfavorable to them worse.

Moreover, at this critical moment when we should have shared the same hatred of the enemy and went all out, there were irreconcilable differences among the people on the ship.

The monks thought that it was not far from Baihua Mountain when they came, and the pirates were not close yet, so it was better to turn the bow of the ship and return as soon as possible.

However, the ship workers thought it was too long to turn the bow and adjust the sails. I am afraid that before they could finish the series of turn-around preparations, the pirates had already put their knives on their necks.

Therefore, it is better to take a gamble and move towards the original destination landlord island. As long as the soldiers from thousands of households on the main island see the black smoke on their ships, they can send ships to pick them up. The pirates will flee because they are afraid of these soldiers.

Judging from the actual situation, the boatmen actually have a better chance of escaping, but the monks in the guardhouse are much better than the boatmen in terms of force.

Under the dispute, the scene was extremely chaotic, and the most precious time was wasted in the chaotic scene of dispute.

...

When Li Zhongze met Zhang Fuzhi again, it was already afternoon.

The strong afternoon sunlight shone on him should have been extremely warm, but what Li Zhongze felt was the only coldness that made him feel cold.

"Ha, I'm really a villain to see Uncle Zhang again..."

The strong desire for life made Li Zhongze immediately return to a flattering expression after the initial awkward laugh.

"It's enough, it's time to do this, so don't say this nonsense anymore."

But Zhang Fu was obviously not in the mood to listen to his compliments, interrupted him mercilessly, with a cold expression.

"I just want to ask you one question. If your answer satisfies me, I can give you a happy way to die, protect you from your body, and promise that you will never involve your family, otherwise..."

Zhang Fu did not finish speaking, but he glanced at the pirates outside but warned Li Zhongze what he would suffer if Li Zhongze's answer could not satisfy him.

"Uncle Zhang, please spare me."

But Li Zhongze obviously didn't want to die.

"Uncle Zhang Mingjian, I have never betrayed Uncle Zhang from beginning to end, otherwise how could I be treated as bait and deliberately sent to that ship? This is all Bai Shier's trick. Uncle Zhang, don't..."

"snort!"

Li Zhongze's wailing begging for mercy was interrupted by an angry hum.

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe this nonsense?"

Zhang Fu's cold eyes shot towards Li Zhongze's eyes, making Li Zhongze subconsciously choose to avoid it.

"It seems that you won't be honest if you don't suffer a little."

Looking at Li Zhongze avoiding his eyes, Zhang Fu showed a cruel smile on his cold face.

"Come."

"Uncle Zhang, please spare me!"
