I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 930 - Chapter 930 The Leftovers

Chapter 930: The Leftovers Chapter 930: The Leftovers Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing that this Prince Rong of the Great Qi Kingdom was indeed prepared, Pedro immediately suppressed his excitement.

He was unlike Fujita whose home country Japan was very close to here, which meant he could quickly fill in the numbers should some of his men get killed.

The difference was just that perhaps an experienced person had to be replaced with a newbie.

On the other hand, if Pedro lost some men here, he would have to wait for half a year or even longer before the replacements arrive.

During this period of time, he might be annexed by other pirates or wiped out by the Great Qi Kingdom’s soldiers because of the lack of manpower.

Therefore, unless he was confident that he could capture Qi Haoran, he would not take the risk.

It was also because his country was very far from here that he could boldly face this Prince Rong and kill him or capture him.

After obtaining a huge sum of money, he could simply bring his people out of this sea area.

However, Fujita was different since Japan was not far from here.

If he killed this beloved brother of the Great Qi’s Emperor, his country would probably suffer the wrath of Great Qi in the next moment.

This was equivalent to causing war between the two countries, so Fujita wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.

This resulted in Fujita being restrained in some ways.

Pedro, who had been tempted to kill Qi Haoran, saw the rows of soldiers and blades behind the door.

Smiling at Qi Haoran, he said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness.

But I still have something urgent to attend to.

Let’s talk about tea next time.

If I’m lucky enough to go to Guangzhou, I’ll definitely ask you for this cup of tea.” Pedro left with his men.

Qi Haoran sneered as he watched the other party’s ship gradually leave.

Then, he turned to look at the Zhou family’s ship and waved his hand.

“Get Zhou De to come over.” Seeing that the crisis was averted, Zhou De heaved a sigh of relief.

He brought his son and steward to the warship and walked on the wooden plank set up between the two ships.

As soon as they boarded, he knelt down in front of Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran first instructed the lieutenants to sail the ship before asking him to get up.

“What’s wrong with you guys?

Shouldn’t you have arrived at the port early this morning?

Why are you accosted here by Fujita?” Tears streamed down the face of Zhou De, who felt very wronged.

His ship had been traveling with four other ships and their estimated time of arrival was actually this morning.

Last night, they had even released their swallow to let it send the letter back.

Unexpectedly, not long after dawn, they encountered pirates.

They were all merchant ships of Great Qi.

Other than the Zhou family’s newly built ship, the other four were refurbished ships that were at least 20 years old.

How could they be Fujita’s match?

Although Fujita’s ship did not have cannons, it had catapults, bows, and other weapons.

On the other hand, they did not even have many bows and arrows, let alone catapults and other weapons.

However, it was impossible for the other party to take down all five ships, so they tried their best to drive forward, hoping to encounter the patrol navy of Great Qi.

However, Fujita did not chase after all five ships.

Instead, he only chased after Zhou De’s ship.

His goal was clear.

Because the Duke of Peaceful State and Prince Rong had partial ownership of this ship, the other ships didn’t dare to abandon them and escape alone.

However, Zhou De didn’t want to offend all his peers since he still had to count on their mutual help in the future out at sea.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and made an agreement with the other four ships through a special methodaEUR”he would lure the pirates away while they went back as soon as possible to report this and get someone to save them.

If it were any other merchant ship, no one would have come to save them.

However, the goods on this ship belonged to the Duke of Peaceful State and Prince Rong.

Not to mention anything else, the navy wouldn’t dare to delay just because of Prince Rong’s name.

Therefore, Zhou De gritted his teeth and lured them away, even though there was only a 60% success rate.

As his ship was newly built, it could sail rather fast.

Therefore, it took Fujita nearly four hours to catch up to them.

Fujita was about to get someone to kill their way onto the merchant ship when he encountered Qi Haoran and the others.

After knowing that Prince Rong was here to bring the young masters out to relax today, Zhou De felt that his luck was extraordinarily good.

Little Bear looked sympathetically at Zhou De, who was crying profusely.

Under Mu Yangling’s education, he had always respected the old and loved the young.

Seeing Zhou De kneeling on the ground and crying so hard, he went forward to help him up and even dragged over the chair that his father had just sat on for him to sit on.

Flattered, Zhou De wiped his tears and said, “Thank you, Little Prince.

Thank you, Little Prince.” Thinking of the information he had received, Zhou De hurriedly said, “Your Highness, before you came, Fujita said that he targeted us because of the cooperation between our Zhou family, the Prince’s estate, and the Duke’s estate, soaEUR|” Qi Haoran raised his hand and interrupted him.

“I know.

During this period of time, I’ve wiped out more than half of the pirates from Japan.

He’s taking revenge on me.” A cold glint flashed across Qi Haoran’s eyes.

It seemed that Fujita and the other pirates had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

It wasn’t that he was afraid that Fujita was targeting his merchant ship.

But what if one day they were not satisfied with solely dealing with his business and targeted his family instead?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou De lowered his voice and said, “Also, from your conversation earlier, I just found out that Your Highness and that group of Westerners had an agreement not to rob our Great Qi’s merchant ships.

But in fact, our Great Qi’s merchant ships are still being robbed by them.

However, it takes place in a sea territory some distance from hereaEUR|” “They’re pirates.

Do you expect them to be honorable?” Back then, Qi Haoran had only made such a request to Pedro to warn him not to rob the fishermen of Great Qi offshore.

As for merchant ships, unless the navy’s prestige spread far and wide, Pedro and the others would still rob them in secret while claiming to comply openly.

Just as Qi Haoran was about to wave his hand to let Zhou De and the other two rest, there was a sudden shout and the sound of things being smashed in the cabin.

Only then did Qi Haoran remember the three brats who were still locked in the cabin.

He looked at Little Bear and hurriedly stepped forward to open the cabin door.

Inside, a group of soldiers was surrounding the three little ones.

Tiger Head and Little Lion were sandwiched in the middle, roaring as they attempted to rush out.

When they encountered soldiers blocking their way, the two children kicked them or pushed them away without holding back.

There were already several soldiers lying on the ground, hugging their legs or stomachs and wailing.

As Little An moved forward with Tiger Head and Little Lion, he shouted at the people blocking their way, “You’d better move aside, or I’ll throw you down to feed the sharks.

Sharks eat human flesh.

They can swallow a human in one bite.

Are you afraid?” The soldiers surrounding them wanted to laugh, but they couldn’t and could only persuade them earnestly, “Young Masters, the commandant has given a death order.

Unless His Highness gives the order, you’re not allowed to go out.” Little An put his hands on his waist angrily.

“Why aren’t they letting us out when the pirates outside have already retreated?

I even offered a great strategy.” “Maybe the pirates will come back,” shouted the soldier.

Little An turned to Tiger Head and said, “Why is Fourth Uncle using such a stupid person as a soldier?

How can the pirates possibly return?

The soldiers and weapons we used just now must have frightened them so much that they trembled.

They can’t flee fast enough, I bet.” Qi Haoran pushed the soldiers away and carried the three boys to the deck.

After pulling a chair over and sitting down, he asked leisurely, “Little An, tell me.

How did you know that opening the cabin door would scare them away?” Since he had nothing to do now, Qi Haoran was very interested in Little An’s idea.

Little An said proudly, “Fourth Uncle, we’ve deployed the empty city strategy long before this.” Tiger Head and Little Lion looked at Qi Haoran as if he was the one who was too lagging behind.
