Not allowing Hailian to think about it, the light from the wind lantern at the door was gradually approaching, so he simply used this peripheral light to flash into a blind corner deep in the cave without hesitation. This is different from the ocean-like Jiumeng City with 200,000 people, he cannot expose himself on this small island.
One, two, three... three footsteps of different severity. Fortunately, even if he is discovered, he can completely solve it by himself. With his back to the hole, Hailian maintained the safest posture, and his hand was already on the dagger. Fortunately, the three of them did not continue to walk in, but hung the wind lamp on the iron hook beside the passage, and the whole cave room was immediately covered with a dark yellow warm color, and Hailian moved a little further in, so as not to let it go. The light hits itself.
The first thing he uttered was a hoarse cough, and then a mouthful of saliva was spit on the ground by the man. In just two voices, Hailian had already recognized who the other party was—the captain of the Banshee.
After the captain cleared his throat, he patted the box in front of him: "All the guys?"
"Don't worry," the second visitor said, it was Fecona's voice, "There is still a boat coming."
"Aren't you in a hurry? In half a month, Shaguiwan will be handed over to Mo Yiren!" The captain said angrily, "If you really lose Yunhai by then, His Majesty will ask to see how you end up!"
His Majesty? Helian frowned.
"Kapok, calm down," the remaining person is naturally the shadow, and the man called out the captain's real name, "We have stayed in the Yunhai Sea for so many years, almost occupying most of the waterway, those pirates naturally hate it Tooth itching, now that Mo Yi has given them a chance to surrender, we can just take this opportunity to screen out those who don’t need to stay, and kill them all together with Mo Yi. You also participated in the battle of Jiayang Heights, why don’t you even have this reason? clear?"
"Then there's no need to give up Shaguiwan, a place of contention!" The captain was still arguing with the man, "We have figured out the scope and laws of all pirates' actions at sea three years ago, so there is no need to wait." If people come over, they can start to clear up immediately. Fortunately, you have not only stopped going to the mainland these years, you have not even come back to Shagui Bay, and you are wandering around the Yunhai Sea every day... Could it be that you two were really treasured by a dead man eight years ago? Fascinated?!"
The other two did not reply.
"Okay, I still acquiesce." Now the captain's tone became more and more impatient, "I don't understand you Dongzhou people. You said you would help His Majesty win Yunhai within ten years, so His Majesty didn't give up. —”
"You're wrong." Fecna said coldly, "I have only one purpose, which is to find the treasure. As for taking Yun Hai?" The man sneered, "It's just an addition to the deal between me and Abal. "
The atmosphere in the cave turned cold after Fecona's last words, and Hai Lian, who was hiding in the corner, felt that his brain was about to explode.
What are these people talking about? What is clearing and suppressing Shaguiwan, and what is the treasure that I was looking for eight years ago? How could Fecna be from Dongzhou? What is their relationship with the Amber King
He and Fecna had only met a few times on the island, but the other's blue eyes were so sharp in the wooden house, Hailian couldn't possibly recognize him as a Dongzhou native. mixed race? Not impossible. It's just that today's Dongzhou is not the all-encompassing Rong Dynasty a hundred years ago, so it is strange that it can accommodate a general of mixed blood. Then why did Fang Tinglan kill Fecona? Did he also follow the orders of his emperor
The young man couldn't help holding his breath, he faintly felt that he might be in a mess, he couldn't help scolding himself for being too curious and Fang Tinglan for throwing himself into this mess.
After the three people on the opposite side were silent for a long time, the shadow still smoothed things over: "Okay, Kapok, I understand your worry, but your worry is really unnecessary."
"What do you mean by that?" asked the captain.
Shadow took out a knife and pried open the rivets of a wooden box: "You can see it yourself."
After the captain muttered something dubiously, he opened the lid of the box according to his words. The next second, the man almost screamed: "This is...!"
"See clearly?" Shadow walked over and patted the captain's fat and thick shoulder.
Hailian heard the captain's heavy breathing.
"These things...these things..." After a while, the captain of the Banshee was almost drenched in cold sweat. He bit the words with difficulty, "No, you are not trying to take back Sand Ghost Bay, but to destroy Sand Ghost Bay."
"A place like Sand Ghost Bay, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed." Feckona didn't show any expression on his face, "It's just a den of thieves."
"But there are still quite a few children inside—" the captain quickly stopped at this point, and changed his words, "There are still people who are willing to join us!"
"I don't need those dirty things." Fecna said contemptuously, "Kapock, are you pretending to be a pirate and becoming addicted, forgetting your original identity?"
"..." The captain rolled his throat several times, but still lowered his head, "No, I didn't."
"When Abal recommended you to me, he said that you were one of his most loyal servants and the most dedicated soldier. Kapok, I never regarded you as my subordinate, but as my Friend." As Fecna walked past the captain, he picked up the lantern from the wall, "I hope you don't disappoint your friend, and don't betray your loyalty to the Amber King. Think about it yourself, If you think it through, come to my ship to discuss the next action, if you don’t understand it, drive your Banshee and get lost.”
Fecna and Shadow went out first, leaving the captain standing in the dark alone. Hailian turned his head slowly and looked at his captain. The man who always held his head high and laughed at the waves had his fists trembling, and his back was bent like a heavy weight. After a long struggle, the captain seemed to have finally made a choice in his heart, turned his head and left the cave.
Hailian waited in the corner for a while, and after confirming that the other party would not turn back, he moved his somewhat stiff limbs and stood up. Calculate the range of the light source of the wind lamp just now. If you light the lamp in the deepest part of the cave yourself, people outside will not be able to see the light source. He touched the dark pocket on his body, found a torch, and fumbled to light the lampstand closest to him. After finishing all this, he walked to the box opened by the three of them just now.
Could it make the captain cry out in shock, and destroy the things in Sand Ghost Bay? Hailian pouted, and opened the box.
There are no ferocious beasts or sources of disease and epidemics placed inside, but more than 20 palm-sized black cannonballs are neatly arranged, and the source of the saltpeter smell is also these cannonballs. Hailian took one out carefully, only to find that its structure was not spherical like the mortar shells the pirates used to use, but a strange pointed cylindrical thing. When he weighed the weight, he also found that The weight of the shells is uneven, and there seems to be a great universe inside.
"What the hell is this..." he murmured softly.
Hai Lian has never seen it before, but if Fang Tinglan is here, he will definitely recognize it at a glance—how did this thing blow up the gate of Taiyan City fifteen years ago, and how did Hongchao people think The proud walls and fortresses burned to dust along with their blind self-confidence.
It is not a beast that devours people, nor is it a source of disease and epidemics, but the memory of harm it brings to people is much deeper and more terrifying.
Destroy the city fire.

When Hailian returned to the Banshee along the original road, there was already a halo that was about to be revealed on the sea level. He hung the borrowed coat back on the boat post, untied his hair, and lay on the bed to prepare Take the time to take a nap. As Haiyu said, he believed too much in his own skills and his own knife, and he hardly bothered to think about the cause and effect, but what he had seen and heard in the cave before kept circling in his mind, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he had to resign himself to his fate and opened his eyes .
Hai Lian raised his hand in the morning light, and made a virtual gesture of holding the ammunition. The skin can still recall the touch of smooth bullet casings, and the smell of gunpowder still lingers on the fingertips.
He stared at his palm, speechless for a long time.
When all the crew got up one after another, Hai Lian also yawned and sat up.
He also figured it out, these questions would not be fruitful anyway, so why not ask Fang Tinglan directly when he arrives.
After Hailian finished washing, he went to the kitchen to touch a piece of wheat cake and put it in his mouth. Suddenly someone called his name on the deck, and he walked up following the sound. The person who called him smiled and showed his hand pipe. After just seeing him overnight, the man's eye sockets turned a light blue color, and his temples seemed to have a few grains of frost.
"What do you need from me?" Hai Lian greeted his captain.
"Anyway, we are idle on the island, why not go for a walk with me," said the captain.
A sesame seed fell into the tooth socket, Hailian picked out the little thing with his tongue first, then nodded: "Okay."
