Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Chapter 518 Pirates’ Wealth

Ning Fan had no reaction after looking at the gold and silver jewelry.

After all, he is the emperor now and is rich in the world. This gold and silver jewelry does not surprise Ning Fan.

However, the gold can be converted into a lot of money, and it can be used in the shipyard to solve the urgent need. Ning Fan was still very happy and hurriedly ordered people to carry it on the ship.

"Your Majesty, this island is just an island where pirates are stationed for daily training. There are several other islands that store a large amount of supplies."

Wang Hai walked over in a hurry. It was difficult for his fat body to walk and he needed help.

Although the weather was not very hot, Wang Hai was sweating profusely. He didn't know whether it was because he was scared or because he was walking too fast.

"Well, I said there must be more than one island for pirates. This area should be an archipelago. There should be dozens of large and small islands. This place should be where the middle and lower levels of pirates are stationed. The other islands should be living areas. There are Women have children, right?”

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai calmly.

For a moment, Ning Fan suspected that Wang Hai had no intention of telling the truth from the beginning, because when he was on the big ship, Wang Hai did not tell everyone that there were dozens of islands in this area. Now he saw The imperial army was overwhelming, and Wang Hai finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Some islands are relatively dry and suitable for storing food, while some islands are surrounded by mountains, where some of the high-ranking pirates' families live. The reason why pirates are separated from their families is because most pirates do not have women... …”

Wang Hai spoke very slowly, but explained the reasons clearly, and Ning Fan just sneered.

When it comes to deeds, there is no heart, and there is no saint when it comes to heart.

No matter what Wang Hai was thinking, in the final analysis, it was Wang Hai who brought the imperial navy to the pirate island. Without Wang Hai to guide the way, it would have been extremely difficult for the imperial navy to find where the pirates were hiding.

In this era without satellite positioning, nautical charts, or latitude and longitude, in the vast sea, if you want to accurately find the location of certain islands, you can only rely on luck.

Wang Hai's role is self-evident, so even if Wang Hai once wanted to hide something, Ning Fan didn't want to pursue it.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Ning Fan could also feel the cruelty of war in the cold weapon era.

But as an emperor, kindness has no effect. Not only does kindness have no effect, but it will also make power out of control, so sometimes appropriate iron-blooded methods are necessary.

Out of humanitarianism, Ning Fan ordered the soldiers to collect the corpses of the pirates on the beach first, then cut wood on the island, and piled all the corpses together. After lighting a fire, the burning smell spread throughout the island. , many soldiers bent over and vomited.

The unpleasant smell spread throughout the island. Ning Fan quickly ordered people to carry all the valuable things on the island onto the ship, and then everyone boarded the ship again.

The big ship lifted anchor and headed towards several other islands. At this time, it started to rain lightly on the sea, and there was a faint fog that obscured the view.

Once the wooden ship encounters a reef, the consequences will be terrible. Ning Fan has no choice but to order the ship to anchor again and stay quietly at sea.

In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped and the fog gradually dissipated. Several islands loomed in the distance. Ning Fan ordered the ship to weigh anchor again and sail towards the islands.

But just when the sailors were weighing anchor, Ning Fan suddenly felt a creepy feeling, and when he was pressed against the splint, Ning Fan could hear a clanking sound. This sound made Ning Fan stiffen instantly. His face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Ning Fan's pale face frightened Qin Ying beside him.

"Hurry up and jump into the sea, the pirates are destroying the ship."

Ning Fan was shocked and said to Qin Ying, his voice was trembling at this time.

When Qin Ying heard Ning Fan say that someone was drilling the ship, her face changed with fright. She hurriedly rushed to the plywood and ordered the sailors to quickly check the water incoherently. Dozens of sailors jumped into the sea, and soon the water rose. There was a blood mist, and Ning Fan's heart dropped when he saw this situation.

After all, the Dragon Scale Army is not a professional navy. After only a short period of water training, their water skills are far inferior to these pirates who live on the island all day long.

Dozens of Dragon Scale Army soldiers jumped into the water and were killed in a matter of seconds, but the pirates never showed their heads.

"Quickly pull up the anchor and raise the sail. We have to leave quickly, otherwise if the ship is punctured and the ship sinks, everyone will drown."

Ning Fan's heart was pounding at this moment, and it was difficult for him to calm down. He finally realized that he might have encountered a huge crisis this time.

After glancing at Wang Hai, who was standing aside with a dull expression, Ning Fan waved his hand, and several Jinyi guards rushed forward and pushed Wang Hai directly to the deck. Without any explanation, they locked Wang Hai's hands with iron chains.

"Your Majesty, I am really unjust."

When Wang Hai realized what happened, he began to struggle and scream desperately, but Ning Fan didn't give him a chance. Several Jinyi guards grabbed Wang Hai without any explanation and threw him into the water.

Ning Fan was like a mirror in his mind. He could clearly know through observing words and expressions that Wang Hai was definitely involved in this matter.

Maybe Wang Hai really sincerely surrendered to the court at first, but after he came to the sea, and all the pirate leaders were killed by Ning Fan, the pirates were now leaderless.

At this time, ambition began to slowly grow in Wang Hai's heart. Wang Hai might have expected that the pirates on the nearby islands would definitely come to scuttle the ship, but he never reminded him. I'm afraid he just wanted to destroy the ship. sank, and he took the opportunity to swim to shore and regain his pirate powers.

"Your Majesty, that Wang Hai seems to have gotten into the water. He has good water qualities."

Several Jin Yiwei stood on the plywood and shouted, looking regretful, but Ning Fan seemed to have expected this situation.

He didn't say anything, but looked up at the sailors. At this time, the sailors had already unfolded the sails. The distant sea breeze was blowing, and the ship began to slowly start. So the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of the big ship is getting faster and faster.

When the ship moved, the sailors who were hiding under the water and digging the ship had no chance. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Ning Fan had a bad feeling.

He took Qin Ying to the cabin, and sure enough he found that several holes had been drilled out of the cabin and water was leaking.

Although these holes are not big, only the size of the mouth of a bowl, the water is leaking at an alarming rate. If this continues, the ship will sink completely before too long.
