God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

"Hello, Your Highness Shenzi, our leader met you on Black Shark Island."

A soldier reported that a little pirate who claimed to be from Black Shark Island wanted to see him.Yunze thought for a while, and let him up, and then a young little pirate with a slippery face in a patched suit appeared.

He greeted Yunze first with unstandard movements, and then he grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Your Highness, our leader found a group of pirates ahead, they don't seem to be gangsters nearby, and after inquiring, I found out that it was Boman." The black flag of the navy is waiting for you. Our leader said that you and him are friends who have had a drink together. He couldn’t see you being ambushed in vain, so he sent me to report to you.”

Yunze didn't even twitch his brows, but he still smiled: "Thank you for reporting the letter, and thank you boss, I'll see you later for a drink. By the way, have you eaten yet? The kitchen just made bread and broth, Boiled beef bone soup, sauce from Curry, added carrots and golden wheat, spicy and rich, just right for this weather.”

The little pirate was already hungry, how could he bear it after hearing this description?But he was thinking about their leader's instructions, and hesitated very much.

Seeing his concerns, Yunze smiled and said, "That's right, your boss should still be waiting for you to go back. In this way, you wait for 2 minutes, and I just asked the kitchen to slice some roasted sauced beef and bring a jug of wine. Take it to your boss."

It's both meat and wine, and if their leader is happy, the little pirates around him can also get a share.The little pirate rubbed his stomach and nodded repeatedly.

His gluttonous appearance is a bit like a child of this age, Yunze asked someone to bring a plate of dried fruit to him.

"You eat first, I'm going to change clothes."

Yunze was still wearing the dusty clothes that he went out with, and all the way down, his body was stained with a lot of dirt, and the hem of his clothes was wet.The little pirate knew that noble people like them were the most particular, and that they were all attracted by dried fruits, so they naturally nodded.

The smiling Yunze entered the inner room, and the smile on his face disappeared. He took off his robe while discussing countermeasures with Menis.

This pirate made a special trip. The news that the Portman Navy is guarding outside should be true, but more specific inquiries are needed.

Moreover, even if the Portman Navy was really planning to ambush them, why did the pirates come to report the news?It can't be just because you have had a meal of wine that you will be utterly sympathetic, right?

"It's a coincidence that he came here. He just slaughtered a cow yesterday. He sent some meat and wine over. Let's not go into the reason behind it, but it was a reminder. We must not make people feel that we are not moral." Yunze put on a new suit. Robes, and hair done.

Menis tied his hair, and said with a smile: "If it's true, His Highness's wine is not wasted in vain. If you want to know whether it is true or not, you can send someone to take a look at it when it is dark. With the Portman Navy, is it waiting for us?"

Although they are not afraid of being ambushed, it is always better to be prepared in advance.If the news reported by the pirates is true, it has indeed saved them a lot of losses.This part of the loss can be worth more than that meal of wine.

"I don't know how much they told us is friendship, but I know that if we face Portman and we lose, they don't mind poaching a piece of meat from us. Although we have a boat, we are not afraid, but If there is a conflict, there must be casualties. A small damage is fine, but if there is a big damage, the shark should pounce on it."

Menis was not as worried as Yunze. Yunze was worried because he was worried about the safety of the soldiers, but soldiers were born from the dead.

The benefits of Taixi fighters have always been very high, giving money and land, and now there are many extra honors.But all this is not without cost, and the cost is to often face this kind of life-and-death crisis.

"Your Highness protects the soldiers too much." Menis said, "You can't become a qualified soldier without going through a battle. I think this is a good opportunity. Boman's navy has well-trained regular troops. , and the cunning and changeability of pirates, it is a good whetstone."

Yunze knew that what Menis said was right, fighting is a soldier's bounden duty.

"I don't know what's going on right now. We'll discuss it after we find out the situation."

After changing his clothes, Yunze went out. It took only 3 minutes, but the dried fruit plate in the little pirate's hand was already more than half empty.The strange thing was that there were no pieces of the peel. Yunze took a closer look and found that he had eaten the outer peel, not even the lemon slices that were used to make lemonade on the plate.

"..." This is made from sliced ​​green lemons and dried in the sun. Doesn't it taste sour?

The little pirate originally ate happily. Although he looked dirty, he didn't eat dirty.As a result, when he saw Yunze, like a monkey whose tail had been stepped on, he immediately put down the plate and retracted his hands.

"These are delicious too." Yunze grabbed another handful of dried fruit, and pointed out which ones were sweet, which ones were sour, and which ones were soft and waxy.

Seeing that Yunze didn't blame him for eating too much, the little pirate looked at it for a while before stretching out his black claws again.

Yunze was also holding a handful of pine nuts in his hand, and while eating, he chatted with the little pirate, not much, just about the little pirate himself.

For example, how could he think of going to sea to discuss life at such a young age.

Seeing Yunze's kindness, the little pirate felt that it didn't matter if he said these things, so he just said everything.

He didn't know where the little pirate was originally from. He only remembered that he was sold by his parents to a captain. He grew up on a ship, cleaned the deck when he was a child, and helped deliver goods when he was older.

The ship was a large merchant ship, and he was one of the little slaves.Later, their ship lost its direction at sea for several months, and many crew members developed sepsis.The crew members who got septicemia were all thrown into the sea, and so were the little pirates.

But he was lucky, he didn't sink by grabbing the plank floating from nowhere, and then he was saved by the boss in his mouth.

Very ordinary life experience, the little pirate himself was cheerful when he said it, and didn't find it hard or difficult.But what he likes most is of course the present life. Although it is precarious, it is free and easy, and the boss does not beat and scold him casually, which is good.

At this moment, the beef in the kitchen has been stewed and cut into pieces. Yunze directly put it in a casserole with a lid, put a pot of wine on it, and lifted both of them with a hemp rope: "These are for your boss. Have a chance to drink again."

The aroma of the sauced beef is really too strong. They are all large pieces of tendon meat with beef tendon. The pieces are stewed with spices. Take it out and let it cool and cut into pieces.The smell of meat mixed with spices came out, and the saliva began to secrete automatically after smelling it.

The little pirate was so greedy, he wiped his saliva with his beggar's attire, then picked up the pot of meat, and dangled the wine bottle below by the hemp rope: "Then I'm leaving, thank you, Your Highness the Son of God."

Not long after the little pirate left, a small boat came out from Taixi's side, ready to investigate the situation.These are 'water ghosts' with excellent water properties and can swim for a few minutes.Yunze was worried, and just slaughtered the cow, so he used the bladder of the cow to make them an air bag for underwater breathing.Not to mention, even though it smells weird, being underwater can really save lives.

The group of water ghosts didn't come back until the second day. They soaked in the sea all night and listened with their ears up all night. When they came back, their skin was wrinkled.

"Bread porridge and medicinal soup are burning in the kitchen. You should rest well today." After the soldiers told them everything they knew, Yunze let them go down to rest.

On the contrary, he looked down on the pirates, and they really came to report.This is a group of Boman soldiers, numbering thousands, and more than [-] ships, including five large warships.They did come here for the Taixi fleet, to capture him, the son of Taixi, in exchange for supplies.

The Bowman Navy even thought of the possibility of failure, and immediately evacuated when the situation was wrong. They fled in all directions, and there were only so many Taixi ships, and they couldn't catch up at all.And it is impossible for them to guess that it will be the Portman Navy.

Because this sea area is rarely involved in by the Taixi Navy, the Portman Navy is so confident.Probably they themselves did not expect that the camouflage that they thought was perfect was torn apart by the pirates and thrown in front of the Taixi fleet.

But the situation that the Portman Navy said is true. They have a large number of ships, and they can save a large number of people if they disperse, and the damage is not that great.

Yunze thought for a while, he didn't really want to see the enemy leave triumphantly after beating them.

"Bring a piece of sauced beef from the kitchen." Yunze said suddenly.

The maid didn't know why, so she brought a plate of sauced beef from the kitchen. It was all tendon meat, and it tasted delicious and chewy.

Yunze put the meat in front of Bai Haidongqing, and Falcon looked at Yunze, dismissing this kind of beef that exudes a strong spice smell: I only eat the freshest meat, and don’t take this kind of strange things fool me.

Yunze turned his head around: "Who told you to eat it? Remember this taste, send me a letter, and you will have the freshest beef strips when you come back."

"Your Highness wants to contact the pirates? Do you want to unite with the pirates to deal with the Boman Navy?" Meinis guessed Yunze's plan at once.

"Contact the pirates?" The captain didn't know why.

The smile at the corner of Yunze’s mouth was a little malicious: “Aren’t they going to pretend to be pirates to ambush us? They can ambush us, so can we. Contact other pirates nearby, and let’s fight against others. Although Boman is a small country, its warships are of the same level. But it’s true, what the pirates lack most is a ship. If we capture a warship, we will share it equally.”

Pirates love ships like warriors love knives. Naturally, more ships are better, and they will not refuse.

The captain's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, we want a big ship!"

"The captain wants a big ship?"

"Yes. The wood used for that kind of warship is a century-old special wood. Not to mention pirates, even our Taixi Navy has always been in short supply of ships. If you have the opportunity, of course you can't miss it."

"At that time we can focus on big ships, just be careful not to sink them."

Menis raised an objection: "Cooperating with pirates will damage His Highness's reputation."

reputation?The captain was stunned for a moment. To be honest, Tai Xiguo is a pragmatist from top to bottom.No, most countries in this era are pragmatists, that is to say, they want to keep face but not face.So pretending to be a pirate to ambush the enemy is something that many countries do, including Taixi, and the captain doesn't think there is any problem in cooperating with pirates.

At first, the captain didn't consider the issue of reputation, but now he remembered that it was His Royal Highness Shenzi who presided over it, and he would be the first to look for anything.A shameful expression appeared on his face: "It's my lack of consideration."

There are only a few ships, and the loss outweighs the gain for damaging the reputation of His Highness the Son of God.

Yunze reassured them: "Although it is cooperation, it will not be on the bright side. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with pirates, and it is impossible to expect them to take the lead. So what I think is that we will fight against the Portman Navy." , the pirates are guarding in the direction where they may retreat. If the Portman Navy retreats, it will have to cut off a layer of flesh when encountering these pirates."

The pirates are definitely not as strong as the Portman Navy, but they have no problem dealing with the collapsed Portman Navy.

That is to say, to avoid the direct contact between the Taixi Navy and the pirates, although it was surrounded by both sides, it seemed that the pirates were just passing by and found the fleeing Portman Navy, so they decided to come and eat black.

No one can say that the cooperation between Taixi Navy and pirates will not damage Yunze's reputation.As for private guesses, they were nothing more than guesses. Now that Yunze's reputation was in full swing, such flimsy guesses couldn't make a big splash at all.

Yunze also attaches great importance to his reputation, because he really needs reputation to promote products.

Everyone agreed to the plan, and Yunze immediately wrote a clay tablet in common characters, and asked Falcon to take it to the pirates.After you find the target smell, you can just throw the things down. Yunze has taken enough shockproof measures inside to protect the fragile clay board.

The Falcon fluttered its wings and flew away. Yunze stood at the bow of the boat, suddenly his expression became very strange, because he thought of a very crucial question, very very crucial.

"Are pirates literate?"
