Late Ming Dynasty: The Counterattack Begins with Sea Pirates

Chi Honghai's shouts, like Liu Qingjiang's rush into the village gate, were swallowed by the flames.

At this moment, he was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the deck, but Pang San pulled him back from behind.

After all, leading men into the camp for a final cleanup would only work after he reunited with them. This approach deviated from the original plan.

At this moment, Chi Honghai couldn't care less about anything else and had no choice but to hurriedly get off the boat.

Liu Qingjiang, who rushed in, was now blinded by rage.

Some survivors in the village encountered him while fleeing from the fire, and were caught and killed without being asked why.

He didn't even spare those lying on the ground who might have been choked unconscious by the thick smoke or even died; he took a large knife and stabbed them into their bodies.

He didn't even notice the spurting blood splashing into his open mouth.

Liu Qingjiang was panting heavily when his brothers ran up to him.

His instinctive reaction was to turn around and prepare to strike.

Only after being called out by the crowd did he realize that the people around him were his own people.

He looked at his subordinates who were following behind him, his eyes somewhat unfocused. He didn't look at them directly, but turned his head to roughly see the situation in front of him before charging forward with his knife.

Seeing Liu Qingjiang like this, no one dared to follow him and rush forward.

Amidst his left and right slashes, Liu Qingjiang suddenly arrived at the spot where the woman's scream had come from.

Upon closer inspection, twenty or thirty young women were being held in wooden cells.

They were pounding on the logs and calling for help, while some, overwhelmed by panic, had collapsed in their cells and were crying.

Just as Liu Qingjiang was about to step forward and break the padlock on the prison door, a sound came from behind him.

"Damn it, even if I don't survive, all of you women will have to pay with your lives."

Liu Qingjiang turned around.

A man, shirtless and wearing only underwear, was dragging two disheveled women with his bare hands, almost single-handedly pulling them to this spot.

The two women looked miserable, their snow-white skin covered with bright red wounds. They were crying and sobbing, but they didn't have much strength to resist.

One of the women had blood flowing down her thigh, staining her heel.

Upon seeing Liu Qingjiang, the man clearly didn't recognize friend from foe and began ordering Liu Qingjiang around.

"Go open the door for me. Tonight, I'm going to have my way with all these sluts."

The man didn't look directly at Liu Qingjiang; instead, he gazed at the young women imprisoned in the cell with a sinister look.

When the women saw him arrive, they stopped banging on the cell door and instead huddled in a corner.

Liu Qingjiang turned his head to look at the women first, then turned back to look at the man.

I approached that person step by step.

Seeing that Liu Qingjiang was in trouble, the man released one of his hands that was holding the woman, pointed at him, and shouted angrily, "You fucking want to rebel?!"

The woman who was released seemed to lose all her strength and slid to the ground, her eyes devoid of any life.

Liu Qingjiang suddenly ran forward. Seeing that something was wrong, the man pushed another woman in his arms toward Liu Qingjiang.

Liu Qingjiang took the woman with his left hand, slowly loosened his grip and put her down, then continued to chase after him with his knife in hand.

The massive fire caused some logs from the top of the village to fall to the ground, sparks flying.

Nobody knows when a piece of wood will fall from above, or whether it will hit them.

During the escape, the pirate leader had just found a knife in the mess and turned to point it at Liu Qingjiang when he was struck on the back of the neck by a beam hanging overhead.

He lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a moment. As Liu Qingjiang approached, he frantically clung to the floor with both hands, completely ignoring the sharp wood shavings and other fragments scattered on the floor.

Wherever his body crawled, it left a trail of blood on the ground.

Liu Qingjiang walked up to him, turned over, revealing his bleeding abdomen.

"Brother, spare me, spare me!" he pleaded, his eyes darting around. "Tell me what you want, I'll give you anything! Gold? I'll take you to get it! Women? They're all yours, all yours..."

As Liu Qingjiang listened to his words, the hilt of the knife slipped from his hand.

"steaming"

The broadsword fell to the ground with a sharp clanging sound.

Just when the man thought the other party would pay the price he had offered.

Liu Qingjiang turned around and picked up the piece of wood that had just fallen.

"Qingjiang! Qingjiang!"

Chi Honghai's voice came from behind, extremely urgent.

Liu Qingjiang seemed not to hear him. He raised the pillar of fire and thrust it against the pirate captain's lower body, churning it violently against the flesh.

The hissing sound of flesh touching the flames elicited a scream from the man.

Not long after, he fainted from the pain.

It looks like a half-cooked meat skewer.

After the other party fell completely silent, Liu Qingjiang suddenly lost all his strength.

The wooden beam he was holding tipped over, revealing the dark, almost ripe thing.

He stood there, motionless, his eyes unfocused.

Chi Honghai ran up to Liu Qingjiang from behind and grabbed Liu Qingjiang's arm, squeezing it up and down.

"Qingjiang, are you alright?!"

Liu Qingjiang slowly turned his head to look at Chi Honghai, and uttered a soft "Master" from his pale lips.

After Chi Honghai roughly understood that Liu Qingjiang had not been seriously injured, his worries subsided considerably.

Seeing the burning situation inside the village, they quickly sent people to release the women who were being held captive there and bring them onto the boat.

"Has everyone inside been thoroughly cleaned up?"

"Sir, that's about it. We've searched almost everything we needed to."

"Get people and stuff out of here! This is going to collapse! Drag this person away too."

He then pulled Liu Qingjiang along, saying, "Qingjiang, let's retreat."

Only after being pulled did Liu Qingjiang realize what he had just done.

As Chi Honghai pulled him out of the village, tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice trembled with sobs.

"Sir, I've caused you trouble."

Looking at Liu Qingjiang like this, Chi Honghai never expected that this strong man would have such a vulnerable moment.

The anger I felt subsided somewhat at this moment.

He knew that what could drive a man to such reckless impulses, followed by such vulnerability, was not simply a matter of being blinded by rage or provoked.

Besides, Liu Qingjiang, who had been a pirate, had experienced all sorts of things, big and small, so he shouldn't be acting like this.

But right now, we need to get on the ship first and then find out what's going on.

After everyone boarded the ship, Liu Qingjiang was also taken to the same ship by Chi Honghai to prevent him from doing anything unexpected.

"Pang San, keep a close eye on Qingjiang tonight."

"Sir, why don't you ask him?"

Chi Honghai sighed.

"We'll see what we get out of them tonight when we get back."
