"So...... Are we being hit by those two unlucky merchant ships? ”

Sensei said that it was Chen Zhong, and even Chen Hua was a little dumbfounded, this is too damn too bad, right?

Originally, in order not to disturb the pirates in the Twin Straits, they also deliberately went around the sea, but they didn't expect to be dragged down by hiding left and right!

Chen Hua felt that his whole person was not good, didn't he pour blood mold?

At the same time that Chen Hua felt that he was very unlucky, the other person also wanted to cry without tears.

This person's name is Guo Songling, he is a maritime merchant in Dengzhou who runs a timber business, and his timber is from the Ryukyu Islands and some other island countries in the South Seas, so he is destined to have to deal with the sea.

Although Guo Songling only has two sea ships under his name, he has never relaxed the safety of the boat, and it is precisely because of the presence of this escort that he can safely go to the Ryukyu Islands and other island countries to buy a large amount of timber.

Just like last year, Guo Songling bought a lot of porcelain and silk products from Datang, brought them to the Ryukyus and the Nanyang Islands to sell, and used the money and some family savings to buy a large amount of wood.

But it was when they returned that they clashed with the generals of the Linyi Peninsula.

Fortunately, the captain of the escort team once had some friendship with the general in charge of coastal defense in Linyi, and under the mediation of the captain of the guard, Guo Songling's cargo ship was released from Linyi and sold a lot of good timber to him at a low price.

Guo Songling then transported these goods back to Dengzhou, and sold them at a price of more than ten times the original value as soon as they changed hands, making him a lot of money.

Originally, Guo Songling had already negotiated a buyer this time, and had already purchased timber from the Ryukyus, and was ready to pull the timber back.

Coincidentally, this time, the guards he had been hiring to be in charge of security were hired by other maritime merchants to take the lead.

At present, Guo Songling's buyers, who have already negotiated, are in a hurry to ask for timber. There was no choice but to hurriedly hire a new escort team in Dengzhou to escort him to the Ryukyu Islands to buy wood.

Originally, everything was going well, but as the saying goes, happiness begets sadness.

Guo Songling's new captain of the guard, because he was armed and believed that the pirates there would not dare to rob them, forcibly approached Guo Songling's two cargo ships towards the Twin Straits.

As we all know, there are a large number of pirates in the Twin Straits, and those pirates are all bandits who have experienced many bloody battles, and Guo Songling has only hired about 200 guards. It's not a match for the pirates at all, it's definitely dead and dead.

Guo Songling's heart was still a fluke at the beginning, after all, pirates don't come out to eat every day, maybe they won't be able to see their ships?

Jade, Guo Songling gritted his teeth fiercely, and was forced by the captain of the guard, Yinwei, to decide to risk directly crossing the Twin Straits and returning to Dengzhou.

And he has already decided, when he returns to Dengzhou. He was going to sue this escort team, and according to the current law of Dengzhou, this escort team would not receive any remuneration, and would be convicted by the imperial court. He was even beheaded in prison.

With such an idea, Guo Songling was also ruthless.

……

The world is impermanent, and they are really afraid of anything, they have just walked through the twin islands. Not far from entering the Twin Straits, they were targeted by pirates composed of more than a dozen ships on the Twin Islands.

The ships of these pirates were specially modified, not to mention the relatively small size of the ships. But the speed was extremely fast, and they rowed the boat like crazy, chasing after the two boats.

Guo Songling's ship has been refitted because it has been running sea for a long time, at least the sailboat on the mast has increased the speed of the merchant ship and made the ship more maneuverable.

After Guo Songling slipped around the Twin Straits for two laps, he fled frantically in the direction of Linyi.

Although the pirates of the Twin Straits are rampant, they will never provoke the Tang Dynasty army on land, because they can't afford to provoke the Tang Dynasty.

Another point is that Linyi now belongs to the Tang Dynasty, so Guo Songling chose to go to the Linyi Peninsula, at least in this way, they still have a chance to survive.

It's just a pity, seeing that the Linyi Peninsula is already far away, but the weather at this time is not as expected.

The direction of the wind suddenly changed at sea, and the downwind sailing turned into a headwind.

Therefore, Guo Songling and the sailors on the ship, as well as the damned escort team, could only watch the pirate ship that was originally far away get closer and closer.

"Wang Wei, it's all you, it's all you! If you hadn't relied on the large number of people and forced Lao Tzu to walk through the Twin Straits, you would have been chased by these vicious pirates. Is it shared? Lao Tzu is going to kill you, kill you! ”

Guo Songling was born very lean, with a three-inch beautiful hair, and he looked quite bookish.

It's just that now this scholar is glaring angrily, and he is tugging at the clothes of a young man who looks to be in his thirties, with a horizontal face but a short body, and he is full of anger!

It's really a scholar who doesn't exert power, and a power is a life!

"Let go!" Wang Wei snorted coldly at Guo Songling, and then with a short palm, he pinched Guo Songling's palm and slammed it out, "Don't move your hands and feet!" ”

"You ......" Guo Songling has been a businessman for so many years, and his strength is naturally not as strong as Wang Wei's martial arts.

"Smack!" Wang Wei pushed Guo Songling fiercely, and said with a fierce face: "What are you running?" How do you know we're no match for these pirates? ”

"You can't die if you don't brag?" Guo Songling was completely let go, "Not to mention that there are more than 400 pirates on those dozen or so boats, how many of your subordinates who have actually been on the battlefield have actually been on the battlefield?" Lao Tzu hired you, how blind you are! ”

"The surname is Guo, it's not us crying and shouting and begging you to hire us, it's you who took the initiative to come to the door! Now you regret it, isn't it a little late? ”

Wang Wei didn't care about Guo Songling's reprimand at all, but looked straight ahead and said, "If you have the strength to reprimand me, you might as well think about how to deal with those pirates!" ”

"Shopkeeper, look, there's a ship ahead!"

At this time, the sailors on Guo Songling's ship finally discovered the huge cargo ship sailing in the northwest.

"What? Where? ”

Guo Songling now has even the slightest hope of being rescued, and he will not let go of it, hearing the sound of taxation, he looked around, and finally saw the cargo ship that was slowly moving forward. (To be continued.) )
