Chapter 217 Patience

"Captain Zhang Heng, what do you mean?" Jarvis looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, suppressed the smile on his face, and showed a look of confusion. The other captains on the side also looked surprised at this time.

As a result, Zhang Heng's next words set off another more violent storm.

"When we went out to sea this time, there was a fleet of navy and pirate hunters following us. They were preparing to attack us tonight. Just as we were talking, the fleet was also rushing towards us. In fact, they are now It may appear in front of us at any time.”

"How is this possible?" Black Prince Sam frowned, "If someone is following us for so many days, we can't possibly not notice it at all, unless..."

"Unless someone betrays us and leaks our route to others, those people can hang far behind." Brooke sneered, "No wonder my ship was attacked for no reason before. It turns out that you have already taken refuge with those nobles. , how about it, it tastes good to lick their butts, Jarvis."

Jarvis was worthy of being an old pirate who had been operating in this sea area for many years. Hearing this, his expression remained unchanged and he nodded to Brooke, "I can understand your anger. You have always suspected that the previous things were related to me, so you were provoked by others. I'll take the bait immediately, but fortunately there are other sensible people here."

After Jarvis finished speaking, without waiting for Brooke to answer, he turned his gaze to Zhang Heng again and said politely, "What Captain Zhang Heng has made against me is a very serious accusation. Then I want to ask, what evidence do you have to prove yourself?" Tell me, how do we know that you are not the one who betrayed others and lured the fleet, or maybe you want to use this method to trick us into leaving so that you can monopolize the gold." After speaking, he spread his hands.

Jarvis's words sounded reasonable and reasonable, and were recognized by most of the captains present. Especially the last sentence directly pointed the finger at Zhang Heng. Even Brooke couldn't help but be shaken after hearing the words.

Compared with Zhang Heng, they have known Jarvis for a longer time, and the latter is an old man from Nassau. On the other hand, Zhang Heng's rise on the island has been too short. This is the first time that everyone has cooperated in a strict sense. Of course, when it comes to trusting them, I prefer to believe the latter. No one can guarantee that Zhang Heng is not lying now, using the fleet as an excuse to trick them away from here, and then sneaking back to take away the gold.

This is the most powerful thing about Jarvis. He thought he did a perfect job in contacting the naval fleet, but in the end Zhang Heng found out. After thinking about it, the only possibility was that he arranged to guard the boat in the woods. The person was caught, but those few people were on the same boat as him and would definitely not admit such a thing. Of course, they could not rule out the possibility of telling the truth under the threat of death.

But when the knife is held to the neck, people will admit it even if nothing happened, so it is actually hard to say how credible their statement is. At this time, Jarvis muddied the water, although he did not exonerate himself. The suspicion on his body was able to delay the time until the fleet arrived.

However, he had to admit that Zhang Heng's accusation did bring 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 joined forces with the other side to attack Salvador. Mu and others gave him a hard blow in the back, but now it seems that this plan has been ruined.

With Zhang Heng's reminder, Sam and others would definitely be wary of him, and he had to consider how to protect himself after the fleet arrived, but no matter what, he at least got through the current crisis.

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Heng with a calm expression.

Sure enough, Black Prince Sam pondered for a moment and said, "This matter must be investigated first. Well, since everyone trusts me, I can first arrange people to monitor the movements in the harbor..."

He was interrupted by Zhang Heng before he finished speaking, "You have misunderstood me. I am not accusing Captain Jarvis. I am just telling you the news. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, my people are leaving. "

"You want to leave? Now?" Brooke asked in surprise, "What about the gold under the water? Do you still have anyone who can sail the boat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Anne, Dufresne and others walking out of the woods. There was still a trace of blood on the dagger held by the red-haired girl. As for Harry, several strong sailors took turns carrying him on his back. On my back, I carried it all the way here.

On the other side, Ramsay also worked hard to get double the loot in the future. In the shortest possible time, he gathered most of the sailors on the Jackdaw, where a group of drunkards were laughing and shouting about handing out money.

"Keep the gold." Zhang Heng said, then put the muzzle of the gun on Jarvis's forehead, "I'm sorry, Captain Jarvis, tell your people to put away their weapons, as long as all my people are on board safely. , I will naturally put you back."

Jarvis didn't expect Zhang Heng to be so decisive and have no intention of reasoning with him. Strictly speaking, his manpower on the beach is not too disadvantageous now. If he really breaks up with him, he can make plans to leave. Everyone on the Jackdaw stayed, of course, even if his identity as a traitor was completely confirmed, people from several other pirate ships would also join the battle.

Jarvis may not be willing to pay the price of such casualties, but Zhang Heng does not want to bet on this possibility. Controlling Jarvis so that his people cannot take action is Zhang Heng's plan.

It had been more than an hour since Harry saw the small boat that reported the news leaving, and the situation was already very serious. Zhang Heng spent almost another fifteen minutes on the beach, and he didn't want to think about it for a second now. After staying, seeing Anne and others coming back, he asked Dufresne to organize people to start transporting people to the Jackdaw.

The ferry boat can hold about a dozen people at a time, and a round trip takes at least seven or eight minutes, so it takes at least half an hour to transport everyone on board.

This was a time that Zhang Heng couldn't accept, but at this time his eyes glanced at the ferry boat of the Warrior on the other side, and said to Jarvis, "Lend me your boat."

Without waiting for Jarvis to answer, Zhang Heng asked Annie and others to get the ship. However, a group of Warrior crew members stopped in front of the red-haired girl. Faced with an enemy that was several times more numerous, Annie did not back down and just pulled out. The saber.

However, the one who moved faster than her was Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng moved the muzzle of the gun down and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Jarvis let out a scream, and a bloody hole was directly shot out of the sole of his foot by the bullet.

At this time, Zhang Heng had already taken the second short musket from a crew member and continued to hold it against the latter's forehead.

"Don't challenge my patience."
