I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 886 - Chapter 886 SOS

Chapter 886: SOS Chapter 886: SOS Editor: Atlas Studios Fan Zijin gritted his teeth.

He really didn’t want to agree to Yanmo’s request, but at the same time, he didn’t want to die either.

At the thought of his wonderful life in Great Qi and the people he cared about, how could he bear to die?

But then again, he felt that even breathing was torture at the moment!

Unlike Qi Haoran, he had never experienced the hardships of going to war, starving, and falling sick.

Even when they were in their most difficult times, it was just him staying up late working, overdrafting his body.

However, at that time, it was only mental fatigue.

Who would dare to deny him food or drink?

Fan Zijin had never felt that physical torture would be more painful than mental torture.

However, now, he felt that he was more willing to endure mental torture than this physical torture he was going through.

Having only eaten three finger-wide dry biscuits in the past two days, Fan Zijin’s stomach was throbbing in pain.

He felt that it was difficult for him to even lift his finger.

At this moment, he was not thinking about the delicious food served by the servants as a duke.

Instead, he remembered the scene of him and Haoran getting lost in the forest while going to seek refuge with Qi Xiuyuan many years ago, and collapsing to the ground after not eating for a day and a night.

At that time, Ah Ling seemed to have descended from the sky and gave them a pancake.

She even threw them a pheasant and rabbit.

Qi Haoran defeathered the pheasant and roasted it.

Although there was no salt at that time, the roasted pheasant was golden-brown and emitted a strong fragranceaEUR| Fan Zijin swallowed his saliva and looked at the bare rocks around him.

There was a forest further down, but once they stood up, they would either be shot by arrows or bombarded.

Not to mention that there were no pheasants or rabbits on a battlefield, even if there were, they would not be able to catch them.

Everyone looked at Fan Zijin eagerly, hoping that he would say something.

Fan Zijin looked at the pairs of eyes and gritted his teeth.

“When it gets dark at night, send a few more groups of people out to reportaEUR|” Messengers had always been sent out in pairs.

As the guards and security beside him had to protect him, it had always been a combination of the shipwrights and the soldiers of the Naval Division.

This time, Fan Zijin’s guard captain gritted his teeth and gathered the ten guards beside him.

He said, “This is the last time we’ll attempt to send a letter.

If the letter still doesn’t reach them, none of us will have the strength to break out again.

Therefore, our people will deliver the letter this time.

I’ll be sending out three people.” Three of the guards stepped forward and the guard captain said in a low voice, “We were all chosen by His Highness to serve Your Highness.

Everyone, think about your families in the capital.

If we can successfully break out, it’ll naturally be a happy ending for everyone.

But even if we can’t, we’ll have no qualms about dying here.

His Highness, Prince Rong, will naturally take good care of our families.” “Don’t worry, my lord.

We’ll do our best!” The guard captain licked his dry lips and nodded.

He distributed to them the letters asking for help that Fan Zijin had just written.

Zhou De and the rest had torn off their clothes for Fan Zijin to write on.

They did not use pen and ink, but blood.

There was only the word “rescue” on it.

The three guards and three shipwrights came over to kowtow to Fan Zijin.

Fan Zijin, who was originally sitting on the ground, straightened up slightly and barely managed to help them up.

With a bitter smile, he said, “Go and prepare.

Take out all the food and share it with the soldiers.

Tonight will be our last attempt at breaking out.

After that, we will guard here and wait for you.” The eyes of the six people reddened as they kowtowed heavily to him.

All the food they had left was just a few pieces of dry rations.

Of course, it was not enough for the remaining 400-odd people to share.

Hence, only those six people were given the food.

In order not to lose his composure, Fan Zijin simply closed his eyes.

In the past, he had heard from Haoran that they had no rations or water when they fought in the war and even drank horse urine.

But now, they didn’t even have horse urineaEUR| After the sky turned completely dark, more than 400 people divided themselves into groups and threw rocks down.

The high ground they occupied seemed to be a rock quarry which had nothing but rock.

That was why they could defend it.

Of course, they also had to thank the guard captain.

If not for his excellent command, they would not have been able to hold on until now.

The guard captain had also been assigned to Fan Zijin by Qi Haoran.

Back then, he had taken a fancy to the guard captain’s ability to deploy troops and defend.

He figured that by letting him go with Fan Zijin, he should be able to ensure his safety.

At the thought of this, Fan Zijin’s eyes welled up.

The guard captain could indeed protect him, but he could not find food for him.

Back then, Haoran should have given him a guard who was good at sourcing food, especially someone who had been a disaster victim.

It was said that such people were especially good at finding food.

They could even turn soil into foodaEUR| Unlike before, the three pairs did not break out of the encirclement separately.

Instead, they huddled together on the ground and slowly moved forward.

When they reached the other party’s alert zone, the two guards aggressively charged forward and started killing the enemies lying on the ground outside.

Since the two of them had been chosen to be by Fan Zijin’s side, their martial arts skills were naturally impressive.

In no time, they manage to open an opening.

The other guard picked up his shipwright and shouted at the other two shipwrights, “Go!” As soon as he finished speaking, he used his qinggong and leaped ten steps away.

The pirates hurriedly drew their bows and nocked arrows.

Meanwhile, the other two guards hurriedly stopped them to buy him more time.

Guard 3 headed straight for the pirate’s ship that was docked on the shore.

As the pirates were mostly up there, there were not many people left on the shore.

Their main task was to keep an eye on the big ship and the small boat tied to the shore.

When the patrolling pirates saw Guard 3 and the shipwrights, they were killed before they could warn the others.

With bloodshot eyes, Guard 3 climbed onto the boat and looked back at the way they came.

Neither his two companions nor the two shipwrights were anywhere to be seen.

He said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s leave quickly.” The shipwright steered the boat in the right direction, and the boat quickly rowed towards the seaaEUR| Qi Haoran clenched his fists and looked at the sea map, then glared at the Westerner.

“You’re saying we can’t go there?” The Westerner said, “That’s the pirate’s nest.

Going there is suicide.

We definitely can’t go there!” Qi Haoran turned to look at Zhou Zhou and asked, “You said that the old shipwright deduced that they might have accidentally gone in this direction?” “Yes.” Zhou Zhou said, “According to an old shipwright among them who had 20 years worth of experience on the sea, it’s very easy to get lost in this area.

He deduced they either deviated north or south.” “That’s two hugely different directions?” Unable to explain this to Qi Haoran, Zhou Zhou only said, “This is the conclusion he came up with based on his experience.

Your Highness, we’ve been out for two days and are about to reach NanyangaEUR|” Qi Haoran punched the table and said, “Let’s go this way.” “This won’t do.” The Westerner waved his hand and shouted, “You can’t do this!

You’re courting death.

Do you know who the pirates are?

Those are PortugueseaEUR|” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t care where they’re from.

Let’s head towards this place.

Zhou Zhou, give the order to prepare the two ships for battle.

Prepare the bows, arrows, and catapults for me.

Isn’t there a cannon on the ship?

Get the Westerners who know how to fire the cannons to make the preparations, too.

It’s fine if the Duke of Peaceful State isn’t on it, but if he’s on it, I’ll raze that island to the ground.

The Westerner laughed out of exasperation.

“You guys are too arrogant.

The Portuguese’s cannons and ships are not something you can defeat.” “Shut up!” Considering they weren’t even afraid of the Jin Kingdom and West Xia, why would they fear a country that they had never even heard of?
