From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 852

After landing on the island on August 1, Zhou Yuan and others explored the gold mine on the island according to the procedures of the exploration team.

On the first day, they explored Yuweng Island, on the second day, they explored Baisha Island, and on the third day, they landed on Penghu Island.

Until August 5, the Dutch had not appeared.

This made Chu Feifan anxious, and he spoke with resentment: "What a bullshit plan, I think we are not here to act, but to explore."

"Don't be a jerk, we really found the gold mine, and the Dutch haven't come yet."

Having said that, he actually really hoped that the Dutch would not come, so at least there would be no danger.

Zhou Yuan said: "Be patient. The development of things to this point may be caused by many factors."

"For example, the Fuzhou Provincial Government did not do a good job, which made the traitor Bao Hui suspicious and did not pass the news to the Dutch."

"It is also possible that the Dutch were worried that it was a trap, so they waited for two more days."

"It is even possible that they could not bear to disturb us from exploring the gold mine?"

Chu Feifan glared and said: "So, we have to waste time here? Please, I am in my forties and fifties. I don't have time like you. I am busy going back to enjoy my life."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, even if Bao Hui does not report, our activities here will inevitably be reported by the Dutch Notice. "

"It's only a matter of time before they come to the island to catch us."

Chu Feifan sneered: "I'm afraid they won't come to the island to catch us, but will come to the island to shoot directly, then we died in vain."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "What's the value of dead people? Not to mention that we are an exploration team and have practical value, even if we are just ordinary fishermen, the Dutch are more inclined to keep us alive and let the Fujian and Guangdong Navy pay for ransom."

Chu Feifan's patience has long been gone, and he was even more unsure when he heard this. He immediately said: "Let's just go back and make a new plan. Anyway, you have a good brain, which is better than wasting time here."

He just didn't want to go to Dongfan Island, which was too dangerous.

Just when he said this, the sudden sound of artillery interrupted the conversation between the two.

The members of the exploration team subconsciously lay on the ground and looked around vigilantly.

But soon they remembered their identities and shouldn't show such military qualities, so they got up again and fled around.

The Dutch battleship appeared, smashed the wooden boat, and quickly landed.

There were also two cruisers patrolling the sea, fearing that they would be ambushed by the Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Yuan and Chu Feifan were also running, pretending to be panicked, and they were a little panicked.

"It's better not to be that Lucas, otherwise you will be recognized."

Chu Feifan kept his voice down, but he was actually nervous.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's impossible. Lucas is a top figure in the Netherlands. The situation here is unclear, so he won't take the risk in person."

"Otherwise, if he is ambushed, it would be a big loss."

Chu Feifan said: "I hope you have calculated everything correctly, but... Damn, why did the other side shoot!"

The sound of the flintlock resounded through the world, and soon some team members fell down.

Zhou Yuan grabbed Chu Feifan and lay on the ground, roaring: "Let them lie down and surrender!"

"Lie down! Surrender! Don't run!"

Chu Feifan shouted with a stiff face.

Their bodies were pressed against the ground, their heads buried in the grass.

A figure fell down and landed heavily beside Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan looked sideways and saw a young man spitting blood and being shot twice in the back. He was obviously dead.

The young face so close and the expression twisted in pain made Zhou Yuan tremble in his heart.

"Marshal, Marshal..."

The young man suddenly called out in a low voice, trembling: "I... I recognized you. When I was in Xiangzhou two years ago, I had the honor of meeting... Marshal... so... I joined the army..."

Zhou Yuan was shocked and wanted to save him, but he knew it was useless.

The young man just lay on the ground, blood flowing from his mouth, and said: "I didn't expect... I would fight side by side with the marshal one day, but... I didn't make it to the end..."

"Marshal... I... I haven't killed any enemies yet, what a pity..."

"Marshal!"

His voice became weaker and weaker, and he murmured: "We... We come here, is it really useful? Is this a battlefield?"

"Am I a sacrifice? Am I a... martyr? But I haven't killed any enemies!"

"Is my death meaningful?"

He closed his eyes and lost his breath before Zhou Yuan answered.

Zhou Yuan widened his eyes and looked at the young face, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

The musketeers have arrived.

A large number of Dutch people quickly surrounded this place, and they roaredHe yelled, raised his gun, and asked everyone to kneel on the ground with their hands on their heads.

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "King of Fa, you have to stand up and negotiate. You are the captain. You have to state your identity and strive to get on the island."

Chu Feifan said, "If I stand up now, will there be a good end? I am not that stupid."

Zhou Yuan said, "You must stand up! Show your identity! Otherwise, the other party may shoot and kill people in anger!"

"Why don't you stand up!"

Chu Feifan will not be fooled.

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I am afraid? My identity and mission determine that I cannot show up in this operation."

"Chu Feifan, don't hesitate, you have practiced martial arts for a lifetime, and in the end you want to be a turtle? You want to be a coward? Otherwise, you can touch your crotch and see if there are any eggs!"

Chu Feifan said angrily, "Fuck you, I didn't say I won't go!"

He hesitated for a while, and knew that he had to stand up, because he heard the sound of gunfire again, and he didn't know who was shot.

It can't be delayed any longer.

"Sir! Sir! Spare my life!"

Chu Feifan didn't dare to stand up, still kneeling in the same place, just raised his hands high.

He shouted: "I have something to say! I have something to say!"

Soon, a Dutchman dressed in officer's uniform, with a group of guards, strode towards this side.

More than ten flintlock rifles were pointed at Chu Feifan and Zhou Yuan.

Chu Feifan almost peed himself out of fear, and immediately shouted: "Heili Sao! Our Heili Sao! Pujie Weire!"

He has been hanging around the coast for the past two years, and it's not that he hasn't made plans for himself. These few Portuguese phrases are what he specially learned.

"Heili Sao" means surrender, and "Pujie Weire" means spare my life.

What if it's useful in the future? Hey, it really came into use.

It just seems wrong... The Portuguese are finished, and the Dutch are in front of them. Damn, I was careless.

The Dutch officer frowned, was silent for a moment, and then kicked him.

Slow! Too slow!

The moment you raised your foot, I have thought of at least ten ways to crack the counterattack!

But I dare not...

Chu Feifan was kicked to the ground, and he was furious. He wanted to gather his internal strength and slap the other party to death.

But there were more than a dozen guns pointing at him!

Chu Feifan had no choice but to cry: "I really don't know Dutch, please spare my life, sir!"

The officer looked at him coldly and suddenly said: "Humble... Oriental... Han dog, don't use Portuguese, insult us!"

His Chinese was not standard, but he could barely speak it. After all, he had been here for many years.

Chu Feifan didn't care about the insults and immediately shouted: "Sir, spare us! We are from the exploration team. We are here to find gold. We are not soldiers!"

The officer glanced around, then looked at Chu Feifan and said: "Tell me everything. Where is the gold?"

Chu Feifan said: "We are a professional exploration team and can find gold. We have been looking for it here for five days, but we haven't found it."

He was afraid that the other party would shoot, so he hurriedly said: "As long as the commander spares our lives, we can help find gold. There is a lot of gold in Dongfan Island."

The officer thought for a moment and slowly laughed.

He whispered: "Strip them, tie them up, take them on the boat, and don't throw away the tools."
