In the middle of the vast sea, a nameless desert island that has been lonely for I don't know how many years has been lonely has welcomed a large number of guests tonight.

"Lord Wang, there is a small island ahead, should we lean on it~?"

Directly south of the island, there was an unusually large fleet of ships, not to mention thousands of boats, with fluttering canvases, facing the sea breeze and roaring hunting. On the deck of the largest seaship at the front of the fleet, a soldier bowed to a middle-aged man.

"Well, lean over first, let the sick soldier Haidao rest for a night, and at the same time send someone to see if there is fresh water and fresh fruit on it~!"

The middle-aged man is Li Xiaogong, and this fleet is the Tang fleet that has been going south for more than four months.

In fact, this fleet has begun to return more than ten days ago, the closer to the land of Datang, the faster the fleet will travel, everyone can't hold back their homesickness, drifting at sea for a long time, many people in the team are sick, basically all dizziness and vomiting symptoms, although not fatal, but if the time drags on for a long time, there will be big problems.

So in recent days, the fleet has also begun to sail at night under the moonlight, entering the inland sea area, often encountering some small islands, Li Xiaogong will also order the army to go to the island to collect fresh water and fruits, with more than four months of sailing experience, he understands the importance of these things, and can save lives at sea~!

As for whether there will be fresh water on the island, of course, there is a possibility, and some large islands will have precipitation (whether it is rain or snow) to form pools on them, but not every large island has it, which is a probabilistic event.

"Yes~! Rajah~! ”

The soldier bowed down to receive the order, then climbed the mast and began to wave the flag to the flotilla behind them, and the huge flotilla began to slowly approach the isolated island.

However, no one expected that not far from the rear of the fleet, there were actually more than 30 small boats trailing.

"Boss, there are so many of them, what are we going to do~?"

(Naturally, it is not Chinese, it is translated)

On the small boat at the head, a sloppy man asked the scarface in front of him.

The scarface spat out, and said fiercely: "Phew~!" What if there are many people~? When they fall asleep on the shore, let's go to the back and steal a few of their merchant ships, and we will make a lot of money~! The special mother has been following for so many days, and she can't let the brothers work in vain~! ”

The sloppy man looked at the black-pressed fleet in front of him, swallowed his saliva in fright, and said weakly: "Boss, this seems to be the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, if we do it, if we anger the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, where are our opponents?" ”

"Yaga~!"

Scarface slap the sloppy man's head, and then heard him say angrily: "Cowardice~!" Even if the Tang Emperor has thousands of troops and horses, let's hide in the sea, what can he do to us? Let the brothers cheer up, listen to my instructions for a while, let's make this order, and we can go back to eat and drink spicy food and find a flower girl~! ”

"Hi~!"

The sloppy man was angry when he saw Scarface, and hurriedly went down to inform the rest of the crew.

Scarface stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the big ship in front of him, and said to himself greedily: "With these big ships, who else is my opponent in this sea!" Hahahaha~! ”

…………………………

"Lord, there is a lot of fresh water and coconut fruit on the island, and there is also a cave, do you want to go in and rest for a night~!"

After the fleet docked, Li Xiaogong first sent a team of people to the island to check, and after a while, a soldier came to report, saying.

"Send the sick soldiers and people ashore to rest first, and then let the envoys of various countries follow the king into the cave~!"

Li Xiaogong thought about it and said.

When he returned from his trip south, he not only brought back a full ship of goods, but also brought back the envoys of the Nanyang countries, and now the size of their fleet has grown a little more than when he went.

"Yes~! Rajah~! ”

The soldier hurriedly went to give the order, and heard Li Xiaogong say again: "Slow down~!" The order must be at least four people on each boat, and at least ten people on the big ship! ”

In this vast dark night, Li Xiaogong can't help but be cautious, he doesn't want to have any accidents when he is about to reach the gate of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes~! Rajah~! ”

The herald soldier saw that Li Xiaogong had nothing to arrange, so he went down to make arrangements.

Li Xiaogong jumped off the big boat and landed in a small wooden boat.

"Oh~! I can finally step on the ground~! ”

After a while, several darker-skinned men of different costumes came up, apparently they were envoys from other countries, and one of them, a man with a big beard and a big black mole on his cheek, stood on the island and sighed happily, after all, ocean navigation is a great challenge for many people. Only those who have been adrift on the sea can feel what a blessing it is to stand on the earth.

"Your Excellency, may I ask how long it will take to reach the Tang Kingdom~?"

The bearded man sighed for a while, then caught up with Li Xiaogong and asked.

Naturally, someone translated for Li Xiaogong, and after Li Xiaogong listened, he said: "Don't worry, envoy, there is less than half a month, and the fleet will arrive in the capital Chang'an!" ”

The bearded man suddenly said happily: "Haha~!" That's great~! I can finally see the kingdom of the Celestial Empire~! ”

………………………

"Do you see it~? The army went ashore, their big ships couldn't get close to the shore, our chance has come~! ”

At the back of the fleet, Scarface said to his men excitedly.

"Hey~! The boss is wise~! ”

The sloppy man felt bitter in his heart, but he complimented him.

"Up~! Leave a few people to watch the boat, and the rest of the people will dive into their big boat with me, and give Lao Tzu some points for their hands and feet~! ”

Coincidentally, at this moment, a dark cloud in the sky covered the moon, and when Scarface saw this, he immediately commanded.

“…… Yes, Boss~! ”

After a while, under the leadership of Scarface, more than a hundred men in black took off their clothes one after another, quietly went into the water, and swam towards the last few large ships of the Tang fleet.

"Presumably in a few days, I will be able to reach Chang'an, I don't know what happened to Hao'er and Yaya?"

On a large merchant ship, there were four yawning soldiers standing on it, as well as seven or eight people, including Meng Wenhao's father, Meng's father looked at the bonfire on the island, but his heart drifted back to Chang'an, which was thousands of miles away.

In the moonlight, several dark shadows silently climbed up the ship's deck along the ship's ladder.

"Puff~!"

The four black shadows raised their swords at the same time, and the four soldiers on the ship immediately fell to the ground. The leader made a gesture, and they approached the other deck of the cabin.
