Wanjin Lady

Chapter 465 Holding the Emperor hostage

Most of the people on the island are civilians who have committed crimes, or fishermen who can't make a living and follow Mo Sufang to beg for food. In the final analysis... they are all poor people forced by this world!

"How could that be?" Mr. Dong stroked his long, thin beard, his eyes gleaming. "Keeping them here is also a way to report to the court and save face for the court."

Wen Wan's face darkened.

A business trip?

If we can capture the so-called "criminals" and sort out the evidence on the island, it will be a real military achievement.

The navy gave an explanation to the court, and the court was pleased and would no longer continue to track down Mo Sufang and his group.

Just accept it when you see it!

Mo Sufang and her group...are so vicious!
Wen Wan's chest was filled with anger. "You are so careless about human life. You are no different from animals!"

Mr. Dong quickened his pace and sneered, "If you weren't still of some use to the lady, do you think you could get on this boat?"

Wen Wan felt a push on her shoulder, and her feet stumbled as she got on the boat.

The distance is increasing.

The ship sailed out of the harbor.

The scene before my eyes suddenly became clear.

Wen Wan couldn't help but stop, her pupils dilated slightly.

Under the vast sky, the isolated island burned like a fireball, illuminating the entire world. Wen Wan heard screams, curses, and exclamations. The people on the shore discovered the fleeing ship and stood anxiously on the shore. The brave ones jumped into the water directly and tried to climb onto the ship along the long anchor, but were ruthlessly kicked into the sea.

Wen Wan was terrified by Mo Sufang's ruthless tactics, and even more so by Agui...

Agui was born very thin and lacked strength. Now the isolated island has turned into a fireball... She is most likely in great danger.

"This is their fate." Mr. Dong's words are still ringing in my ears. "If you don't obey, this will be your fate too!"

The ship was moving at a very fast speed, sailing against the wind in the Lingding Sea. The three-masted hard sail caught the southeast wind, and the iron angle of the bow split the green waves, continuing to move forward along the route.

A strong wind blew on the sea, and the ship swayed from side to side.

Thanks to the last pledge of allegiance, Wen Wan was not tied up this time. She held on tightly to the fixed rope in the cabin. When the wind and waves died down, she calmly reached for a dagger hidden in her sleeve.

That was what Wei Zheng left for her before he left this morning.

It felt exactly the same as the one she had before.

The wind is rising and the tide is surging.

She can only rely on herself.

The boat sailed for about an hour, and the sea became so dark that it was pitch dark.

Suddenly——

A sharp whistle.

Wen Wan looked up and saw people hurrying towards her from the observation deck.

They had arrived at another isolated island. The boat quietly docked in the night. The moment Wen Wan got ashore, she heard the loud sound of gongs and drums coming from the front.

The war drums were beating, the crowd was noisy, and it seemed that countless soldiers were rushing towards this side.

——Dong dong dong!

Accompanied by the sound of artillery fire, sometimes near and sometimes far away.

Wen Wan noticed that the battle ahead was fierce, the sky was dyed red, and it was obvious that two groups of people had started fighting on the sea ahead!

Wen Wan was filled with excitement; it must be because Wei Zheng had encountered the Bingzhou navy along the way!

Mr. Dong ordered the giant ship carrying cannons following behind to go around to the front to provide support, "You guys go and draw fire and support the boss!" Wen Wan's small boat then sailed into a water tunnel.

Torches illuminated the cave as the boat slowly entered. This cave connects to the open sea, and at high tide, the entrance is submerged, with only three stalactites serving as natural navigation marks. The ship can hide well inside, making it impossible to see anything from the open sea.

Wen Wan pondered the current situation.

While out at sea, Mo Sufang was encountered by patrolling navy officers. During the fight, Mo Sufang lost the upper hand. Mr. Dong led his men to rescue her...

The location of that isolated island must have been revealed by Wei Zheng!
In other words, Wei Zheng has already reunited with the navy and is leading his men towards this island!
And when Mo Sufang fled in a hurry, she did not forget to take her with her. It was obvious that... she was planning to take her as a hostage!

Oh shit!

Wen Wan looked around and found that she was surrounded by people in front, behind, left and right. She couldn't escape even if she had wings!
Just as I was getting anxious, I heard a loud "boom". Artillery fire hit the island and the cave above my head seemed to shake.

Mo Sufang and the rest of the defeated soldiers were being supported out of the corridor. Wen Wan saw that her right calf was hit by artillery fire and was rotten into pieces. Flesh was stuck to the bones and bleeding was flowing non-stop. It was extremely terrifying.

"Boss!" Mr. Dong and others rushed over.

Mo Sufang's face was ashen. "There's a traitor on board! Just as we were near Zhoushan, we encountered a government patrol boat. Someone on board launched a naval meteor arrow... and lured the soldiers over."

"We were underequipped and suffered heavy losses at sea. They chased us all the way to Ivory Island... If you hadn't come to our rescue in time... we wouldn't have been able to escape tonight..."

Mo Sufang's gaze finally fell on Wen Wan. She felt a chill run down her spine as she gazed into those captivating eyes. Without hesitation, she stepped forward, "Could it be that Wei Zheng has brought his men after us? If so, Madam Mo can hold me hostage for negotiation... After all, I'm the mother of his two children. If he's cautious, he might be able to win a glimmer of hope—"

Mo Sufang had been thinking this, but after hearing Wen Wan bring it up, her guard against her dropped much. "Four ships carrying twelve French cannons, a ship of this magnitude... can only belong to Wei Zheng's navy! If it wasn't Wei Zheng himself, then it must have been one of his generals!"

Wen Wan immediately noticed the angry looks of these people.

Mo Sufang and her confidants knew exactly who Wei Zheng came for.

Wen Wan ignored the public's overt and covert anger and said, "If Madam trusts me, I will lead a small team and a small boat to distract Wei Zheng and buy you some time."

Mo Sufang was obviously unwilling to let Wen Wan go. "It's not appropriate to act separately now. You come with us..."

——Boom.

There was a barrage of artillery fire.

The entire island seemed to be collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere in the cave.

Wen Wan's eyelids twitched: Wei Zheng...is getting closer...

As he was speaking, there was a commotion ahead. Officials had already rushed in through the corridor. At the forefront was Wei Zheng!

Wei Zheng's eyes were red from killing, his body was covered in blood, and the blade of his knife was bent. It was unknown how many people he had killed. He looked like a ghost crawling out of hell to take his life!
As soon as Wei Zheng raised his eyes, he met Wen Wan's!
Wei Zheng's eyes were filled with shock. Why was Wen Wan here? Shouldn't she be on the deserted island?

Wenwan smiled bitterly.

Isn't this a coincidence?

She even saw familiar faces: Zhao Heng, Hou Ji, Meng Yuanjie, and others were all out.

My throat felt cold and my back felt tight.

Wen Wan's body froze. Mo Sufang held her shoulder with one hand and drew her dagger with the other... already close to her throat.

Wen Wan cursed her parents in her heart.

Mo Sufang is just like a scumbag, boasting a lot but actually just taking advantage of her.

Then she insisted on using her true feelings to influence her!

"Wei Zheng! Let us go! Otherwise, your woman will be killed!"

Wei Zheng's hand holding the knife was bulging with veins. He looked at Mo Sufang, then at Wen Wan. The two of them were dozens of meters apart and exchanged quick glances.

Mo Sufang held Wen Wan hostage and retreated, shouting at Wei Zheng, "Back off!"
