"Captain Zhang Heng, what does that mean?" Jarvis looked at the muzzle of the gun pointing at him, restrained his smile, and showed a puzzled look. The other captains were also surprised at this time.
As a result, Zhang Heng's next sentence set off another more violent storm.
"When we went to sea this time, a fleet of Navy and pirate hunters was following us all the time. They were going to fight us tonight. Just as we were talking, that fleet was coming to us. In fact, they might appear in front of us at any time now."
"How is that possible?" Sam, the black prince, frowned. "If someone follows us for so many days, we can't miss it at all unless..."
"Unless someone betrays us and divulges our route to others, those people can hang far behind." Brooke said with a sneer, "no wonder my boat was attacked for no reason before. It turns out that you have taken refuge with the nobles. How about licking their ass, Jarvis?"
Jarvis is worthy of being an old pirate who has been in this sea area for many years. Hearing the words and looking the same, he nodded to Brooke, "I can understand your anger. You have always suspected that the previous events have something to do with me, so when you are provoked, you will immediately take the bait. Fortunately, there are other rational people here."
Jarvis did not wait for Brooke to reply, then he turned his eyes to Zhang Heng and politely said, "Captain Zhang Heng is now making very severe charges against me. Then I want to ask, do you have any evidence to prove what you said? How can we know that you are not the one who betrayed other people and led the ship team, or do you want to deceive yourself after we leave in this way So I can eat the gold alone. " Then he spread out his hand.
Jarvis's words sound reasonable, and have been recognized by most of the captains on the scene. In particular, the last sentence directly turns the blame on Zhang Heng, and even Brooke can't help shaking when he hears the words.
Compared with Zhang Heng, they have known Jarvis for a longer time. The latter is an old man in Nassau. On the contrary, Zhang Heng's rise on the island is too short. This is the first time we have cooperated in a strict sense. If we really trust them, of course, we prefer to believe the latter. No one can guarantee that Zhang Heng is not lying now. He uses the fleet as an excuse to cheat them out of here, and then he himself Sneak back and get the gold.
This is Jarvis's most powerful place. When he contacted the navy fleet, he thought he had done everything he could, but Zhang Heng finally knew that he thought about it. The only possibility was that the man he arranged to guard the boat in the woods was caught. But those people and he were all on the same boat. They would not admit this kind of thing. Of course, they would not rule out death Under the threat of death, they may reveal the truth.
But when the turret is around the neck, even if it doesn't happen, lovers will admit it, so it's hard to say how credible their statement is. At this time, Jarvis muddled up the water. Although he didn't get rid of his suspicion, he could successfully delay until the fleet arrived.
However, he also has to admit that Zhang Heng's accusation has indeed brought him a lot of trouble. His original plan was to pretend to resist with the people on the beach when the Navy arrived, but then he united the opposite side to give Sam and others a hard blow in the back. However, now it seems that this plan is in vain.
With Zhang Heng's warning, Sam and others will certainly be on guard against him. He also has to consider how to protect himself after the arrival of the fleet. However, he has at least survived the current crisis.
With that, he looked at Zhang Heng.
Sure enough, black Prince Sam pondered for a moment and said, "this matter needs to be investigated first. Well, since everyone believes me, I can arrange people to monitor the movement of the harbor first..."
Before he finished, Zhang Heng interrupted him. "You misunderstood me. I'm not accusing captain Jarvis. I'm just telling you the news. People who believe me or not will leave."
"You're leaving? Now? " Brooke was surprised. "What about the underwater gold? Do you have anyone who can sail now?"
As soon as he said that, he saw Annie and Dufresne and others coming out of the woods. There was still a trace of blood on the dagger held by the red haired girl. As for Harry, he was carried on his back by several strong sailors in turn, all the way here.
On the other side, Ramsay, in order to double the spoils, gathered most of the sailors on the Jackdaw in the shortest time, and a group of drunkards were laughing and shouting for money.
"Keep the gold." Zhang Hengdao, then put the muzzle of the gun on Jarvis's forehead, "sorry, Captain Jarvis, let your people put away their weapons, as long as my people are safe on board, I will put you back."
Jarvis didn't expect that Zhang Heng was so determined that he didn't plan to reason with him at all. Strictly speaking, his hands are not at a loss on the beach now. If he really tears his face, he can leave the Jackdaw behind. Of course, even if he is a traitor, several other pirates will join the fight Fight.Jarvis may not be willing to pay such a cost of casualties, but Zhang Heng does not want to gamble on this possibility. It is Zhang Heng's plan to control Jarvis and make his people unable to do it.
It has been more than an hour since Harry saw the boat leave. The situation is very serious. Zhang Heng spent about 15 minutes on the beach. Now he doesn't want to stay any longer. Seeing Annie and others coming back, he asked difrena to organize people to transport them to the Jackdaw.
The ferry boat can hold about ten people at a time, and it takes at least seven or eight minutes to go back and forth. So it takes at least half an hour to get all the people on board.
This time is Zhang Heng can't accept, but at this time his eyes are swept to the other side of the warrior ferry, said to Jarvis, "your boat to me."
Without waiting for Jarvis to answer, Zhang Heng asked Annie and others to pick up the boat. However, a group of crew of the warrior stopped in front of the red haired girl. Facing the enemy with more than several times the number, Annie did not step back and directly drew out the saber.
However, faster than her action is Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng will move the muzzle down, without hesitation pulled the trigger, Jarvis issued a scream, the sole of the foot was shot directly out of a blood hole.
At this time, Zhang Heng had taken the second short musket from a crew member and continued to press it on the latter's forehead.
"Don't challenge my patience."
