When was the tea ceremony introduced to the Wa Kingdom in later generations, Zhen Qian really doesn't know, anyway, it was not introduced into the Wa Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't think that the tea ceremony of later generations will change the Wa people, but he hopes that his tea ceremony can make the Wa people change and like his way of drinking tea.

Sitting on the sea and sipping tea, the artistic conception of the sea and the sky will make people feel relaxed and happy, at least Zhen Qian found that Shao Erdong was still a little unwilling, and looked into the distance from time to time.

When Zhen Qian was wondering why Shao Er Dongshang was not holding on, he suddenly heard an unhurried "clang" gong sound from the mast, and then heard the sound of a broken gong: "A ship was found three miles ahead, it may be a pirate, ready to fight?" ”

Historically, Zhen Qian's hoisting of the skull flag to indicate his identity as a pirate occurred in the eighteenth century, when the Times publicized piracy, introducing brotherly righteousness to make a certain version of the pirate flag used by a large number of pirates, and eventually obtained more property for them, and the skull flag became synonymous with piracy at this time.

Pirates plunder ships with black flags, which depict a white skeleton stabbing a bloody heart with one hand and an hourglass in the other. The purpose of the flag was apparently to announce their arrival, and these daring pirates soon realized that the flag could identify themselves and their purpose with the ships in front of them: the black flag was a sign that they were pirates and might provide a place for those who came; The red flag with the above pattern indicates that they will not only not take in the comer, but also intend to fight it to the end. However, the motif on the flag not only reflects the pirates' way of life, but also foreshadows their perilous situation.

At this time, I suddenly saw Shao Er Dongshang's whole person jumping up directly from his seat, with fear on his hideous face, and a mournful voice in his throat: "It's Nine Ghost Jialong, the murderous pirate is here, run!" ”

Zhen Qian squinted his eyes and could only see a black spot at the junction of the sea and the water and sky in the distance, and the others could not be seen at all, he reached out and took the monocular from the guard's hand, and when he was about to observe, he found that there was a rapid footstep on the deck behind him, Zhen Jiu climbed out of the cabin with a pair of big feet bare, and Zhen Jiu, who was naked, walked in front of Zhen Qian and said, "Master? What's going on? ”

"Are there pirates in this area?"

There were not many real pirates in this era, mainly because there were not many merchant ships at sea, which was of course a relatively comparative number, and when the maritime trade had not yet developed to a certain extent, it was not easy to intercept a merchant ship in the vast sea, and it was usually only possible to wait for a merchant ship in a certain sea area, and even then it was often difficult to wait for a merchant ship for several months.

The reason why Zhen Jiu was able to rob six or seven merchant ships on the Bohai Sea was that he was ambushed in the sea area that he had to pass, and after having clairvoyance in his hand, when the other party did not find his own ship, and secondly, he used the speed of the flyer to quickly approach the merchant ship, and by the time the merchant ship found out, it was already too late.

Other pirates usually lurk around the trading port and intercept merchant ships with the help of the terrain at sea or before entering and exiting the port, which is not very successful, and most of the maritime merchants in this period have the shadow of the family behind them, and often go to sea in groups, even if the pirates see it, they will retreat.

Normally, pirate ships are relatively easy to identify, even if the pirate ship is deliberately disguised as a merchant ship, but the shallow waterline of the pirate ship still reveals its identity very easily.

"It's a pirate ship, the waterline is very shallow, the pirate ship is not big, there should be sixty or seventy pirates on board, do you want to wipe them all out?"

Zhen Jiu's words were light and light, and the young Erdong on the side saw that Zhen Qian did not make any moves, so he jumped to his feet and shouted: "It must be the pirates of the Nine Ghosts Jialong who are not wrong, this group of pirates often haunts the area of the Hizen Kingdom and the Satsuma Kingdom, killing and robbing all kinds of evil, and even cruelly breaking the pregnant woman's belly, and betting with the pirates to guess whether the child in the pregnant woman's belly is male or female, we can't beat them, run!" ”

Zhen Qian looked down at Genji, who was sipping tea, and found that Genji's face was not panicked, so he turned his head and asked Shao Erdongshang, "Tell me about this Nine Ghost Jialong, tell me everything you know?" ”

"The Nine Ghosts Jialong is a very mysterious person, and everyone who has seen him has died, and it is only after someone escapes from the pirate that the notoriety of this pirate spreads. Nine Ghost Jialong has existed in this sea area for decades, not only robbing ships coming and going at sea, but also going ashore to burn and loot villages, once almost broke a city in Satsuma Country, Satsuma Country offered a reward of 200 taels of gold to the head of Nine Ghost Jialong, and the Hizen Kingdom also offered a reward for this guy's head before, but unfortunately no one could kill him! ”

Zhen Qian felt that things were getting more and more interesting, and waved his hand at Zhen Jiu: "Don't kill them all, this time we are rich, see if we can capture the nine ghosts Jialong alive, I heard that pirates have a good habit of hiding treasures, Jiji!" Zhen Jiu, your God of Wealth has been sent to the door? ”

Zhen Jiu was obviously more excited than Zhen Qian, screamed strangely, and shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, start working, there are fat fish that have taken the initiative to send them to the door, whether we accept them or not!" ”

"Collect!"

"Beat his mother, let his own mother not know ......, and start working!"

Shao Er Dongshang looked at a group of killers shouting and screaming excitedly, and sat on the board of the boat and said in pain: "It's over, it's all over!" ”

Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the clairvoyance in Zhen Qian's hand curiously, and said, "Lang Jun, what is this?" ”

"This is called clairvoyance, you can see the scenery three or four miles away......", Zhen Qian handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Qingyan, but he didn't expect to see it when he took it, but he couldn't see anything, and found that he had taken it down.

"I really saw it! It's so clear! Light Smoke jumped on his feet, stretched his neck, and waved his pink arms to greet the pirates in the distance, "I can see clearly, there are many of them standing on the boat, still holding knives in their hands, oops! They're still naked, they're ugly, baa It's ugly! ”

Genji also curiously took the clairvoyance in Qingyan's hand, looked at the pirate ship in the distance, and blinked in his mouth: "Sure enough, it's a pirate, I didn't expect to meet it here, Zhen Ying's envoy seems to be confident, is he ready to wipe out the nine ghosts Jialong and avenge the souls who died in the hands of pirates?" ”

Zhen Qian smiled, but still said cautiously: "Wait a minute, let's watch the show, a group of local chickens and dogs can't get on the stage, please don't be impatient, and rest in the cabin for a while, so as not to hurt the two of you?" ”
