Chapter 929: Smart Chapter 929: Smart Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Haoran was also betting that Fujita Hideo wouldnât dare to make a move.
As the two ships gradually approached, Qi Haoran realized that one of the ships was also approaching quickly.
The three parties met up.
Pedro stood on the deck and gestured to Qi Haoran from afar.
Qi Haoran raised his eyebrows.
So, everyone was here today.
The two largest pirate groups in their marine territory were all here.
The lieutenant standing beside Qi Haoran felt his back turn wet.
If these two pirate ships cooperatedââŹÂŚ Qi Haoran waved at Pedro.
âWhy are you here?
I remember that you promised me not to rob the merchant ships of Great Qi.â Smiling, Pedro said, âYour Highness, donât misunderstand.
I just came over to take a look because it looks interesting up here.â His gaze slid across Qi Haoranâs warship, feeling very puzzled as to why he dared to come over with just ten-odd people on the ship.
Pedroâs intuition told him that there was a trap.
In addition, the pirates in this sea area had been suppressed by Qi Haoran for the past six months.
To show that he had no ill intentions, Pedro ordered the ships to retreat two shots so that he would not be implicated if the two parties fought.
Pedro was already suspicious, let alone Fujita Hideo, who had always been suspicious.
When the other party narrowed his eyes and looked at the warship, he was shocked to see a child standing beside Qi Haoran with a big bow on his back, staring at him covetously.
That child was simply a miniature version of Qi Haoran.
Since he dared to bring his child here to take risks, it was obvious that he was already prepared.
Fujita Hideo looked hatefully at the merchant ship opposite him.
Darned it, he was so close to succeeding!
Zhou De stumbled out with his two sons.
When he saw Qi Haoran standing at the bow of the ship, he knelt on the deck excitedly and shouted, âYour Highness, Your Highness!
Youâre here to save us!â Qi Haoran glared at him and reprimanded, âWhatâs with all that crying?
Arenât you just surrounded by pirates?
Since your ship isnât inferior to theirs, just drive right into theirs.â Qi Haoran waved at the guard behind him.
The guard dragged a chair for him and he sat on it boldly, then supported his chin and looked at them.
âIâve previously bombarded their ship with a cannon and smashed it with rocks, but Iâve never hit a ship with a ship before.
Why donât you give that a try?â Zhou De thought about it and kowtowed.
âYour Highness, I dare not disobey your orders.â Seeing that Qi Haoran was completely ignoring him, Fujita Hideo was so angry that he fell backward.
He pointed his katana at him and shouted, âQi Haoran, donât be too smug.
I, Fujita Hideo, will be specifically robbing your merchant ships from now on.â Qi Haoran sneered.
âIf you have the ability, come at my merchant ships.
How thick-skinned of you to deal with weak commoners.â Little Bear, who was standing beside Qi Haoran, really wanted to say a few harsh words, but when he thought of his fatherâs instructions, he could only shut his mouth and glare fiercely at the other party.
If looks could kill, Fujita Hideo would have died more than a hundred times.
Fujita Hideo could see the eagerness in Little Bearâs eyes.
If Qi Haoranâs side wasnât sufficiently prepared, how could a mere child have the guts to be so hostile to him?
As he had brought all his elites out this time to intercept the Zhou familyâs merchant ship, he did not dare to fight head-on with Qi Haoran.
If he lost again, he really would not have many people left.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fujita Hideo did not dare to take the risk.
With his hands behind his back, he secretly gestured and shouted unforgivingly, âQi Haoran, why do you think I chose the Zhou familyâs fleet this time?
Listen, everyone is trying to make a living at sea.
All we want is a chance to live.
If you really force everyone into a corner, weâll fight you to the death.â Livid, Qi Haoran slapped the chair and pointed at him angrily.
âYou want to make a living by forcing the people of Great Qi into a corner?
If you want to be pirates, go back to Japan.
I donât care what you do in Japan, but as long as youâre in Great Qiâs territory, I wonât allow you to do evil!â As Fujitaâs boat rapidly retreated, he shouted at Qi Haoran, âWe came to this sea area first.
What do you mean by âin Great Qiâs territoryâ?
Pfft, this isnât land.
Could it be that all the seas of the world belong to your Great Qi?â While Qi Haoranâs face flushed red.
Little Bear stood anxiously at the side.
Ignoring his fatherâs earlier instructions, he jumped up and said, âYouâre twisting logic.
This place is closest to our Great Qi.
These islands originally belong to our Great Qi, so this sea is naturally ours.
This is called the territorial sea.
The management rights on it are called the territorial sea rights.
If you havenât studied much, go back and read a few more books!â In the past half a year, Little Bear had heard a lot of stories and knowledge about the sea from Mu Yangling.
Not at all afraid of Fujita, he shouted, âYou claim that this sea doesnât belong to our Great Qi.
So are you suggesting it belongs to Japan instead?
What gives you the right to kill and rob when everyone else is making a proper living at sea?â The more Little Bear spoke, the more intense his rage grew.
He turned around and shouted at his father, âFather, since theyâre robbing our people, letâs rob the Japanese too.
Our Great Qi is vast and sparsely populated.
We have abundant resources, and only the coastal people rely on fishing for a living.
However, Japan is differentââŹâalmost half of their people rely on fishing for a living.
Weâll rob all their fishermen and forbid them from going into the sea to fish.â Everyone looked at Little Bear in shock at his vicious idea.
Qi Haoranâs eyes darted around as he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that his father was tempted, Little Bear continued to persuade him.
âFather, this is called giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Itâs also a means to get the Emperor of Japan to control their citizens well so that they stop coming here to rob our people.
Didnât you say to Second Uncle that itâs better to disperse than to block?
We canât always exterminate bandits.
When will we finish exterminating them?
Since thatâs the case, weâll just make our way to their country and let their Emperor control them.â Little Bearâs voice was loud, and he was almost shouting.
Although Fujita Hideoâs ship had traveled a distance away, he still heard it.
He was so angry that he fell backward.
Just as he was about to say something, the people on the warship seemed to have just realized that they had escaped.
They pointed at them and shouted, âYour Highness, theyâre escaping!â Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes and ordered, âLet them go further away and be careful not to damage the merchant ship.
The fruits of half a yearâs labor of my family are on the ship.â Fujita Hideo vaguely heard this and turned around to shout, âQi Haoran is indeed prepared.
Letâs leave at full speed while theyâre worried about the merchant ship.â Meanwhile, Qi Haoranâs warship slowly followed.
After following for a distance, Qi Haoran gave the order to fire.
The gunner fired three shots in a row.
Although they did not hit Fujitaâs ship, they still caused some damage.
Qi Haoran did not chase far.
Instead, he got his men to turn the ship around and aim it at Pedro.
He asked, âPedro, are you done watching the show?
Do you want to come to Guangzhou with me for a cup of tea?â Pedroâs heart wavered seeing that there were only 17 people on the deck.
If he could take down this warship from Great Qi, not only would he be able to snatch back a ship, but he would also be able to use this Prince to exchange for a lot of benefitsââŹÂŚ Just as he thought of this, a cabin door opened and a lieutenant walked out.
The other party quickly closed the door and walked over quickly to whisper into Qi Haoranâs ear, âMaster, Duke Fanâs son called me over to tell you that he knows that this move you used is called the âempty city strategyâ.
The two young masters changed it to the âempty ship strategyâ at the last minute.â After saying that, the lieutenant lowered his head deeply, feeling disheartened.
The three young masters had threatened and tempted him to say this, saying that they wanted to find an opportunity to let Pedro see that their cabin was filled with soldiers, swords, and spears.
Pedro did see it.
Although the door was closed very quickly, he still caught a glimpse of the rows of soldiers standing behind the door and the shining blades in their handsââŹÂŚ
