Great Song Pirate

Chapter 196 Set sail (to ask for a monthly pass)
"Li Bo, you and Shui Sheng should each record a first credit for this matter! It seems that our plan is going very smoothly!"

"It's all the result of the master's strategizing, and Li Bo dare not take credit for it!" Li Bo smiled slightly.

"Let me tell you, Li Bo, when did you learn to be so glib? It's just a nice way to say, flatter me, right? Tell you, there is no reward for flattering, haha! By the way, shouldn't the fleet also set sail? gone?"

At this time, Qian Gui jumped out leading Daniel, and took up the conversation: "Uncle Xue has made preparations, the fleet is gathering at Haining Wharf, and it is said that the ship will depart early tomorrow morning, shall we go to send it off?" They! Wow! Going out with more than 20 boats at once looks really fun! If only I could follow along!" After all, Qian Gui is not too old and likes to join in the fun. He had a quarrel two days ago and wanted to follow Lin Xiong He went out to learn more, but was rejected by Xu Yi.

After all, Qian Gui is Qian Laoben's absolute treasure. This is the first time he escorted out of the escort agency. He doesn't know the depth of the water over there. If something happens to this kid, he can't explain it to Qian Laoben, so Qian Gui's request was immediately executed by him. The reason was that he wanted him to learn martial arts from Li Bo. When Li Bo said that he could go out to work after he learned it, Qian Gui was depressed for several days. It depends on the time. When I arrived, I started to be cautious again, wanting to go to Haining Wharf to see the excitement.

Xu Yi smiled and said: "Okay! I know what your plan is, we will not go to Haining, I have discussed everything that needs to be discussed with you Uncle Xue and Uncle Lin, and this time it is your Uncle Lin Take people out, there is nothing to worry about, did your father reply on the island? How are their arrangements?"

When Qian Gui heard that he didn't even have the opportunity to go to Haining to watch the excitement, his face collapsed, and he replied sullenly: "My father has already written back, saying that the island is ready, and has arranged for six boats and five hundred capable people. We have already set out to sea, meet Uncle Lin and the others at sea, and escort them through the sea of ​​Taizhou from a distance, if they encounter a situation that Uncle Lin and the others cannot handle, these ships will rush to help!"

Xu Yi is relieved now, although they don't have many manpower and boats going out this time, even if they add the six boats and people from Dulong Island, they are not as many as Lu Lao San and Cao Lao Si, but the quality of their people But it must be much more powerful than the opponent, and their ship is equipped with a ballista that is definitely a weapon in naval warfare. Even without their secret weapon bombs, stone bombs and kerosene bombs alone can completely defeat the opponent. With no power to fight back, there is nothing to worry about now. The next step is to eat up the power of the Taizhou Three Thieves. He nodded in satisfaction and said to Qian Gui and Daniel: "Today, Brother Li Have you finished the homework you assigned? If you haven’t, I will punish you as usual! Remember, you can’t just focus on the excitement. What you can't finish, what you have to do now is to learn and accumulate, remember?"

After hearing Xu Yi's words, Qian Gui was still a little unwilling, but he nodded in agreement and said he would remember it.

Daniu replied honestly: "Ma Bu has already squatted in the morning, and the boxing passed by Brother Li has not been practiced yet, so I will go to practice boxing with Brother Qian, and we will practice archery in the afternoon. !"

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Li Bo smiled and said: "These two little fellows are very talented in martial arts. Qian Gui is flexible in his movements, and he has learned a lot. To be a courageous and resourceful general, if it weren't for the current dimness of the court, I really want him to join the army. After some experience, this kid will definitely become a hero, and Daniel is born with a good body and bones. I can't even figure out the strange power, and Daniel is steady and persistent, down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships, coupled with his unique physical condition, if he practices martial arts well, sooner or later he will become a fierce general! I like them both very much!"

Xu Yi nodded and said yes: "Yes! This Qiangui is so smart that I am a little surprised, and he has some tricks. The people who follow him are much older than him, but they are all docile by him. Yes, this kid has such abilities since he was a child, so he doesn't worry about not being a hero in the future. Daniel has a calm personality, is down-to-earth, and is willing to learn. It is also a good material. We will bring more of them in the future and find more good seedlings among these children. , focus on training, and sooner or later it will come in handy!"

On the Haining Wharf, the sky has not yet fully dawned, and the place has already become a bustling scene. Twenty or so cargo ships from several ship merchants have all gathered here, waiting to set sail. Originally, it was agreed that there would only be [-] ships for this trip. For the ship, after waiting for so many days, two more ship merchants joined in, because their ship was just robbed by Jiang Desheng's people in Taizhou, and they lost a lot of goods, so they will go out this time , They didn't pay Jiang Desheng the road money, and they were really worried that their boat would be cleaned up again, so they found the Escort Bureau, and took advantage of this opportunity to join in, making the fleet even bigger.

Xue Tu, as the helm of the Escort today, of course also rushed to Haining to see the fleet off, and the ship owners also came to Haining Wharf. When they saw the strong and mighty escorts on the five fast boats of the Escort , I felt a lot more relieved. These bodyguards stood neatly on the side of the ship with their chests and stomachs folded. On the mast of each ship, a bright red bodyguard flag embroidered with fine embroidery was hung high on it. The two big characters "Weihai" were written by famous scribes in Hangzhou. They are very beautiful, and all the bodyguards who went to sea knew that this was their first performance, so they all stood upright and took out their In the best state, if there are naval generals here, after seeing their performance, they will give a thumbs up and praise them.

"Shopkeeper Xue, my little brother is about to set sail. I wonder if there is anything else to explain?" Lin Xiong was also in a well-fitting outfit, looking extremely mighty. He strode up to Xue Tu and clasped his fists to ask for instructions.

"Be careful all the way, the most important thing in everything is to ensure the ships of these owners, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, there is nothing else to explain, take care!" Xue Tu also clasped his fists and said.

Lin Xiong nodded yes, turned around and strode onto the springboard, giving the impression that he was a general about to go to war, and everyone on the pier couldn't help admiring him.

"Everyone, we have assigned one of our order sailors to each of your cargo ships. Please be sure to explain clearly to your ship's boss for this voyage. After you go to sea, please follow our shopkeeper Lin's instructions and act according to his instructions. , if someone insists on going his own way, refuses to listen to shopkeeper Lin's dispatch, or leaves the team without authorization and causes losses, Xue has said before that this bodyguard agency will not be responsible, and the losses will be borne by you, please be sure to tell everyone The owner of the ship made it clear, remember!" Xue Tu turned around and instructed the ship owners standing not far from him again.

"Of course, of course, we have already told these ship bosses thousands of times! Shopkeeper Xue, please rest assured!" Several ship owners promised.

With the sound of drums, under the leadership of Lin Xiong's boat, these boats began to withdraw the gangplank, anchor and raise the sails. The sailors on the boat chanted and propped the boat away from the pier with boat poles, and gradually sailed towards the river. Going, people on the shore also waved to the fleet frequently. This is the first time such a thing has been encountered at Haining Wharf. Many people, even those who have nothing to do with the fleet, went to the pier to watch such a grand event, standing on the shore Booing and applauding.

The ships off the shore raised their sails to full strength, and the wind-fed sails provided the ships with the power to move forward. These ships adjusted their bows and headed towards the open sea to the east. Among the people standing on the shore was a It was Jiang Desheng's subordinate in the past, but at this time he was very confused, he didn't know what to do, who to pass the news to, and watched the fleet leave Haining until it disappeared from his eyes. Sighing, he turned and walked towards a tavern. Maybe he would feel better if he drank too much, but now he felt lonely and didn't know what to do.

The fleet sailed out of Hangzhou Bay soon, and after passing Zhoushan, they turned and headed south. The fleet also formed a column according to the order arranged in advance, like a winding dragon, and the dragon's head was the five Escorts. One of the boats is the leader in front of the entire fleet, while the four dragon claws are two out of four boats, two on each side guarding the flanks of the fleet. If the image is more vivid, it is more like a shepherd dog guarding and driving a group of lambs Usually, these lambs obeyed and sailed all the way to the south under their escort. At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Watching each other and maintaining formation, but the speed of the ship still slowed down.

This is not Jiang Desheng's previous sphere of influence. To put it bluntly, it should be the sphere of influence of Dulong Island, so the people in the escort agency didn't feel nervous. After leaving only those night duty personnel, they returned to their cabins to rest.

At dawn, the fleet had sailed a long way past Putuo Island. After washing up, the crews of all the ships cheered up. After taking over the shift of the night duty personnel, all the ships hoisted their sails under Lin Xiong's unified order. When the speed of the ship was reduced, people gradually became nervous. Although no one said anything, all those who often sailed on this route knew that they were about to enter Jiang Desheng's sphere of influence not far ahead. The sharp-eyed The sailors saw a few black spots vaguely at the waterline where the sea and the sky meet, and followed them from such a distance to continue southward.
