Traveling through the ancient times

As he watched the island getting farther and farther away until he could no longer see it, Nianchuhua breathed a sigh of relief.

But why? Chushouhua was very confused. Why couldn't Jiang Ruixue and the others understand what the red bird said, but she could understand it, even though the three of them had traveled through time.

And that bird also knew that only she could understand what it said. This was too mysterious!

what is going on actually?

On the way back, Nian Chuhua kept thinking about this question. Seeing that she remained silent, the others thought she was frightened and ran to comfort her.

"Chu Hua, what's wrong? Why have you been so depressed since we got on board?" Lu Mingqian asked, looking at Chu Hua who had her head lowered and looked like she was thinking hard.

"Ah? Oh, it's okay. I was just thinking that the island was too mysterious and it didn't seem real." Nian Chuhua knew that she could understand the red bird's speech, but she couldn't tell Lu Mingqian, otherwise he would think she was a monster.

Then…can I tell Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng about it? But they can’t hear me, so will they believe me if I tell them?

Lu Mingqian rubbed the hair that he had painted at the beginning of the year. "Well, it's indeed a little too beautiful to be real. Don't dwell on it. There are so many wonders in the world. Since we have seen it, it means we are lucky. You just need to remember its beauty and don't think too much."

Chushunhua also knew that it was useless for her to think about it, because she couldn't figure it out at all, and no one here would tell her the answer! Maybe one day she could see the little bird again, and it would definitely know the answer!

Traveling through time and meeting a strange bird, perhaps it was all destined. As for those things that she couldn't find the answers to, she would naturally know them when the time came.

After figuring this out, Chuchuhua stopped worrying about it and went to see the stones they picked up happily.

Hua Linglai invited the two of them to dinner. When Jiang Ruixue saw that Nian Chuhua no longer had a sad face, she knew that Lu Mingqian must have coaxed her.

After walking for a whole afternoon, everyone was tired and hungry. We filled our stomachs, took a comfortable bath, and then fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping soundly, their cruise ship was surrounded by several large ships, and the guards on the ship immediately became alert.

Everyone in the cabin was awakened by the noise outside. They quickly got up and put on their clothes. Nian Chuhua walked to the lobby outside, and Jiang Ruixue, Lu Mingcheng and Lu Mingqian also came out at the same time.

"What's going on?" Lu Mingcheng asked a guard who ran in from the deck.

"Your Highness, we are surrounded." The guard knelt on one knee and reported the situation outside to Lu Mingcheng, "There is a ship on each side. I infer that they are pirates nearby."

Chen Er also heard the noise outside, and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. He walked to the cabin door and secretly stuck his head out to look outside.

"Oh no, it's someone from the Tianba Gang." Chen Er slapped his thigh and said to the people in the cabin.

"Tianba Gang?"

"Yes, the leader of the Tianba Gang is a martial artist named Wu Tianba. It is said that he can fly over eaves and walls. He occupied a hill in Xishui Town and became the king of the hill. He also gathered a large number of ruffians and made a living by robbing merchant ships at sea."

Chen Er's legs were shaking with fear. He was just here to be a guide, to show the way. He wouldn't die here today, would he? "He never robbed fishermen and tourist boats before. I don't know why he did that today..."

The Tianba Gang was very selective when it came to robbing. The merchant ships were loaded with goods, and if they robbed a batch of goods, it would be enough for them to eat and drink for a long time.

There was nothing good on the fishermen's boats except the fish and shrimp they had just caught. Xishui Town was also close to the sea, and they were tired of eating seafood, so it was better not to have it.

There are many people on the tourist boats, and the food is good, but not much. If they risk their lives on this voyage, they may even lose a few brothers. The food is not enough to fill their stomachs, so they usually don't rob.

As for why their way was blocked today, it was because the day before yesterday, they went to Chaimu Town to find a guide and docked the boat at the pier, where they were seen by the spies stationed at the pier by Tianba Gang Leader.

Nowadays, most merchant fleets use wooden ships, but theirs uses iron ships. In the past, when they went out to rob, they would always suffer losses of manpower and cargo due to fighting, which would cause the ships to take on water. If they could seize this iron ship, wouldn't it be easier for them to do things in the future?

Moreover, he observed that Chuchuhua's group were all young men and women, accompanied by maids and servants. It was said that they were young men and women who were going to the Colorful Fairy Island for a trip. Wouldn't this be easier to deal with? So he quickly reported to their leader.

When Wu Tianba heard this, he was like, wow, such a good thing must belong to his Tianba Gang.

He was not afraid of offending the wrong people. In the eyes of these people, they were already living on the edge of a knife and had offended so many people. Death was only a matter of time, so it was enough to live happily now.

So they gathered their brothers and sailed out to sea, lying in ambush on the road they would take on their way back, waiting for them to fall into their trap.

"Just stay in the cabin and don't come out. Let's go out and take a look." Lu Mingqian turned around and told Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue, then looked at Hua Ling, "Protect the two ladies."

Hua Ling solemnly agreed, pulled out the whip and held it in her hand. Lu Mingqian and Lu Mingcheng came to the deck, found a pillar for cover so as not to expose themselves directly to others, and carefully observed the ships on the opposite side that surrounded them.

"Miss, you and Miss Ruixue should hide in the closet over there first!" Hua Ling suggested. If pirates really sneaked in and couldn't find them for a while, she could still deal with them without any worries for a while.

However, Nian Chuhua refused. When she saw Lu Mingqian and the others go out, she asked the guard for a crossbow and walked carefully to the window to check the situation outside. Hua Ling followed closely beside Nian Chuhua, and Jiang Ruixue followed closely behind with Mingyue.

Jiang Ruixue knows Sanda and has a crossbow in her hand, so she can protect herself to some extent. As long as those pirates don't use long-range weapons, she can still deal with them.

Several guards left behind by Lu Mingcheng were also on guard around the area to prevent anyone from climbing onto the boat under the cover of night.

Lu Mingqian looked at the figures on the largest boat and signaled Xingyi to shout outside, "Who are you and why are you blocking our way?"

Wu Tianba was surprised. Didn't they say that this was a group of young men and women? They were surrounded in the middle of the night and were not afraid. They even dared to shout at them.

"I am the leader of the Tianba Gang. If you know what's best for you, just hand over your ship. I won't hurt your lives."

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to their boat. Lu Mingcheng was very angry. He had made the boat with great difficulty. It was a token of love between him and Jiang Ruixue. Who the hell was he, Wu Tianba, to take it just like that?

They really don't know how to live or die. They actually dared to intercept them in the middle of the night. Lu Mingcheng called Yanshu to give him some instructions. After listening, Yanshu went down to prepare.

"The Tianba Gang's blatant robbery is too much of a disregard for the law. Aren't you afraid that the government will wipe out your Tianba Gang?"

"Hahaha... King's law? In this sea, I, Wu Tianba, am the king's law." Wu Tianba said arrogantly.

"Just surrender obediently. We will release you once we get to the dock. If you insist on resisting, don't blame us for being rude."

Lu Mingcheng negotiated with the other party to delay time.
