Chapter 176 The Xiaofeng Family
He sent Xin Sheng to Xiaofeng's base camp with trembling fear, but the connector did not give up on his plan to escape.
Taking advantage of the moment when Xin Sheng turned his attention to the door of the bathhouse, he threw down the artemisia pole and planned to jump into the water.
In the eyes of the connector, the force of any bow and arrow will decrease after entering the water.
Besides, he did not see the quiver on Xin Sheng, so he judged that the other party was just bluffing and intimidating him.
"The genius wants to act with you! No one who offended Xiao Feng can get out of Singapore!"
"Crash!"
People who often make a living by the water are very good at water. The head man pierces into the water with a fierce look, swings his hands and feet skillfully to try to swim deeper.
"Hey~ Why don't you believe in evil?"
Xin Sheng sighed helplessly, pulled the bowstring of Artemis's bow, and a snow-white energy arrow automatically condensed and formed.
"Swoosh!"
A few seconds after the moonlight arrow entered the water, bright red began to appear on the river surface, and a lifeless corpse slowly floated up from under the water.
The position of the jointer docked the boat was just under a bridge hole, and it was difficult for people nearby to notice the movement here.
Xin Sheng looked at the body of the Joiner gradually floated along the river with some distress.
"Without the 'friendly' assistance from the connector, how should I sneak into the bathhouse?"
Xin Sheng was not worried about the safety of the Jackdaw. He had called on Daedalus to send the reminder letter back to the ship. He believed that Barnabas would drive the ship out of the port in time before the other side's fleet encircled.
The entire Singapore is filled with Xiaofeng's sphere of influence. Once the death of the Joiner is exposed, it is almost impossible to leave leisurely along the river.
Xin Sheng originally planned to go straight to Huanglong with the cooperation of the squadron, enter the inside of Xiaofeng's nest to capture the thief first, and seize Xiaofeng's Baliyal.
"Forget it, change the plan."
Taking off his hood and cloak covering his body, Xin Sheng showed his face that Mrs. Qing and Liu Xin had never seen before, and walked up the bridge openly.
This is Asia, and the faces of oriental people are not unusual at all. Xin Sheng also specially prepared a set of clothing that suits the local style of Singapore under the cloak.
With a hunched back, Xin Sheng looked short, and followed the pedestrian passing by quickly.
"Cry!"
Daedalus had completed the delivery mission and returned, making a tweet in the sky to show his presence to his master.
Due to the long-term battle with foreign colonists in the Johor Kingdom, abandoned houses destroyed by cannons can be seen everywhere in Singapore.
Xin Sheng casually found a fairly complete dilapidated house, hid in the shadows in the corner, and used Hawkeye technique to directly connect with Daedalus's vision.
You can see Singapore's urban layout more intuitively from the sky.
The river is surrounded by Singapore's core residential area, and Xiaofeng's bathhouse is near the central city.
At this time, the pirates under Xiaofeng had discovered the death of the Joiner and realized that their cooperation with Mrs. Qing had been exposed.
The pirates who had been concealed before began to get big, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
"I remember that the Qiankun Picture seemed to be placed in the temple dedicated to Uncle Xiaofeng."
There are very few buildings in Singapore that look like temples, and most of them are built inside large gates and large houses, and they should be family temples.
“Finally found.”
The mansion to which the Xiaofeng family belongs is very conspicuous. Anyway, you will definitely not be wrong to find the one with the most guards.
Xin Sheng originally thought that the Xiaofeng family's mansion would be in the city center, but in fact it is located in the eastern suburbs near the edge of the city, far from the inland of the harbor and river channels.
"To avoid shelling from the sea?"
Using Daedalus's vision, Xin Sheng understood the activity area of the pirates under Xiaofeng.
They basically searched in densely populated areas centered on rivers, and their defenses on the suburbs were relatively weak, and only there were more people guarding the mansions of the Xiaofeng family.
However, these people will not participate in the operation of searching for Xin Sheng’s whereabouts. Their main task is to guard the mansion.
Mark the enemy's whereabouts in advance, Xin Sheng successfully slipped out of the city and entered the sparsely populated eastern suburbs.
Xiaofeng's mansion is very similar to the manor from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the interior pavilions and towers are decorated very exquisitely.
The hustle and bustle in Singapore did not affect the mansion located in the suburbs, and the women of Xiaofeng's family were leisurely chatting and playing in the waterside pavilions of the manor.
'As a pirate with strong liquidity, he actually bought such a large area of real estate. Wouldn't he be afraid of one day taking revenge on his opponent's door?'
Xiaofeng's family is in a special situation. They were Chinese who fled from the Central Plains in the late Ming Dynasty.
With the efforts of several generations, Xiaofeng's family has gained a foothold in Singapore and has operated a considerable family business.
But the good times did not last long. The endless battle between the Johor Kingdom and Western colonists made the land of Singapore uneasy.
In order to protect his fleet from bullying from foreign invaders, Xiaofeng's grandfather established an escort fleet that belonged to the family.
When Xiaofeng's father's generation arrived, the escort fleet gradually transformed into pirates under the pressure of the situation.
Xin Sheng had heard from his wife that Xiaofeng's father was a veteran of the establishment of the Pirate Guild. He participated in the three Pirate Guilds and had outstanding prestige.
After the old pirate's death, his position of Baliyal and pirate lord was passed to Xiaofeng's brother Liang Dao.
But Liang Dao is not a talented person. He is always very alert to Xiaofeng whose prestige gradually surpasses himself.
Just like the brothers in Xuanwu Gate fought, the two pirate brothers finally had a fierce battle, and Xiaofeng won the final victory.
He exiled Liang Dao far to Hong Kong and did not allow his brother to return to Singapore.
Although the Xiaofeng family’s luxury house has a tight defense, this vast manor has a fatal weakness - the walls are too long.
It is impossible for the people guarding the mansion to take care of every section of the wall.
"Wang!"
A strong and golden dog suddenly rushed to the back door of the manor and shouted, and the four guards guarding at the door were all attracted by it.
"Go and go! Where did the wild dogs come from?"
"Woom!"
The big yellow dog kept roaming around the back door, and the angry guards waved their sticks and tried to beat them.
Xin Sheng took the opportunity to rush out of the bamboo forest outside the manor, and saw the opportunity for the guards to turn their heads and find a wall that was not under surveillance.
"Dong~Dong~"
Using the momentum force to thrust on the wall twice, popped up the hook blade to grab the top of the wall, Xin Sheng easily pulled himself up to the high wall and sneaked into the inside of the manor smoothly.
"Break through the first line of defense, but..."
Turn on Hawkeye Vision and scanned the manor. Many inconspicuous corners were quietly hidden in guards.
"It's so cruel. He actually focused his defense on the manor and used his own female family as bait."
...
When Xin Sheng sneaked into the manor to prepare for a heavy battle of wits and courage arranged by Xiao Feng, Barnabas also began to act.
"Super sail, starboard gunner is in place!"
The pirates on the dock originally planned to force the boarding ship, but when they saw the row of black muzzles, the pirates who were used to being selfish immediately became timid.
After leaving Singapore Port successfully and looking at the dock that was gradually moving away, Herodotus asked with some concern: "Where are we going? How to pick up the captain?"
Barnabas replied while steering: "The captain prepared an emergency plan before entering Singapore. We first enter the Indian Ocean and leave Xiaofeng and Madam Qing's sphere of influence."
"After escaping from Singapore, the captain will ask Daedalus to inform us where to pick us up, and I believe he won't be caught so easily."
Herodotus looked at the entrance to the lower cabin and sighed: "As sure, wealth is as touching as the captain said."
"ha!"
Barnabas laughed contemptuously and said, "Those people have made the wrong idea if they want to grab things from us."
