"That's right," Qian Zhu said, "and now the second child's power is controlled by one of his former generals, named Jiwen. The third child's power is also controlled by a general named Wei Wen. ”

Wu Song muttered, "In that case, the once glorious pirates of the Wang family are now only left with the boss Wang Gong. ”

"yes," Qian Zhu sniffed and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, "So, nothing lasts long." Half a year ago, the Wang pirates were still the strongest pirates in the ocean, but in half a year, they have not fallen to this point. ”

Wu Song stopped talking, looked at the sunset in the distance, and thought about something.

After nightfall, a strong wind rose on the sea.

The waves are like giant beasts, roaring and churning. Wu Song's passenger boat, like a floating canopy, floated and sunk with the sea.

Wu Song has nothing to do with it, he has been to and from the ocean several times, and he has long been accustomed to the bumps of the sea.

It's a wolf, but not anymore. I vomited several times and then lay on the bed with no strength at all.

The same is true for Gang Feng and Yang Shuang, they have only had one experience of taking a boat before, and this is only the second time. Both of them too

Wu Song came to the deck and saw that Qian Zhu was directing his subordinates to drive the passenger ship.

A wave hit, and the ship leaned to the side. Wu Song stumbled, reached out and grabbed a mast next to him, fixing his body.

One of his men tied a canvas to the side of the ship, and when the waves hit, he did not grasp it firmly and was thrown off the deck.

Wu Song let go of the mast, jumped out, came into the air, and grabbed the subordinate.

Then, he spread his flaming wings and flew back to the deck.

Such a rapid wave, once it falls, it will be swallowed up by the waves, and there will be death and no life.

The subordinate turned pale with fright, and knelt down to Wu Song with a thud, saying, "Thank you, monk, for saving your life." ”

Wu Song helped him up and said, "Go to work." ”

The dark clouds in the sky rolled, and from time to time lightning flashed between the clouds, like an ancient demon beast whistling by.

Wu Song came to Qian Zhu's side and said, "What's the matter?" Will there be a storm?"

Qian Zhu was rolling a canvas and said worriedly, "I don't know, the weather has been so weird lately." Judging from the current season, if it is based on past experience, then there should not be such a big wave and such bad weather.

However, it was such a big wave.

There was also the previous tsunami, which should not have been. Even if there is, it shouldn't be that big.

My old sailors say they don't have the experience of the previous decades. Oh my God, it's like suddenly becoming a grumpy child, you don't know when he's crying and when he's laughing.

So, I can't say right now, maybe there will be a storm, or it may be sunny tomorrow morning. ”

Wu Song looked at the lightning flashing between the clouds and fell into deep thought.

During the tsunami, he had doubts about whether the displacement of the Eye of the Sun and Moon had already affected the Xuanwu Realm.

Now, after listening to Qian Zhu's words, the suspicion in Wu Song's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

The tsunami, and now the strange weather that makes the sailors helpless, may be due to the fact that the Sun Crystal has been taken away.

I don't know, what kind of disaster will follow.

Wu Song had the intention of returning the Sun Crystal, but the problem was that what he was holding in his hand now was only one of the fragments, and there were still two fragments in Min Ze's hands.

He is willing to return it, but Min Ze may not be willing.

In any case, let's go to Dongzhou first. He must find another corresponding place before Min Ze, where there should be a moon crystal, and that piece must not fall into Min Ze's hands.

At dawn the next day, Wu Song came to the deck.

There were no dark clouds in the sky, and it looked very clean, as if it had been washed with clean water.

There is not a single wave on the surface of the sea, it looks like a giant mirror. Wu Song felt that his passenger ship was like a stain on the mirror, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

There is a faint smell of fresh sea in the air, which smells refreshing.

Qian Zhu stood on the bow of the boat with a side-oriented compass, his brows furrowed, and he looked at the compass carefully.

Wu Song came to his side and watched quietly, without disturbing him.

After a while, Qian Zhu's gaze moved from the compass to the sea in front of him.

Wu Song said, "How is it? I look at the weather, there should be no storms." ”

Qian Zhu frowned and said, "There is a bad news or a good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Wu Song said, "Don't say the good news, just say the bad news." ”

"We've deviated from the expected course, and I've roughly calculated that we've deviated about fifty miles. "Bamboo shoots are moving.

Wu Song didn't quite understand what this meant, he hesitated, "Fifty miles is not too far, since you have already calculated the direction we deviated from, then why don't we drive back again?"

Qian Zhu looked at Wu Song, his face jumped very tight under the nervousness, "Our route is carefully chosen by me, because only by following this route can we avoid the pirates along the road and reach Dongzhou smoothly."

Now the course has deviated, though only fifty miles, but we are now in pirate territory.

Pirates can appear at any time, and with our current manpower, if we encounter pirates, then there is a chance that we will not be able to defeat them. ”

Wu Song realized the seriousness of the problem this time, he thought for a while, and said, "Then let's hurry up and go back to the previous route before the pirates find out." ”

"I've thought of this," said Qianzhu, "I've just asked them to set sail and head to their previous route, hoping that our luck will be able to return before the pirates discover us..."

Before he finished speaking, he said eagerly, "Find the enemy's traces, find the enemy's traces." To the southeast, ten nautical miles away!"

Qian Zhu's voice suddenly became weak, "It seems that we are unlucky. ”

Wu Song looked at the southeast, where a few black spots appeared on the sea, his vision was extremely strong, and he could clearly see that there were four boats, a medium-sized warship, and three small clippers.

According to rough estimates, there were more than fifty pirates above.

Wu Song smiled bitterly and said, "You just said that there is another good news, what is it?"

"The storm is not coming. "Qian Zhu has no energy.

"This should be bad news," Wu Song said, "how good it would be if the storm came." ”

Balemon is a demon clan, and his father was one of the demon soldiers who invaded Dongzhou that year.

When the demon clan was at its most glorious, it occupied one-third of the land in Dongzhou. Among them, there are more than a dozen cities in the Celestial Empire.

During a siege, Palmont's father, along with five of his comrades, infiltrated the palace of a county and killed the emperor.

It was the greatest achievement in their soldiers' careers.

At the time, Balmont was only five years old. His father gave a jade pendant he had stolen from the emperor to Balmont as a birthday present. At that time, Balmun's father still dreamed that he would one day return to his hometown and exchange his military exploits for status and wealth.

However, the war in the East and West ended without warning.

On the way back to the Western Continent, Balmun's father and his army were robbed by pirates from the ocean.

These soldiers resisted desperately, but they were helpless, and they all died in the ocean.

On the battlefield, these people were born and died, experienced countless dangers, but in the end, the war was over, they capsized in the gutter and died at the hands of a group of pirates.

Young Balmun, who was also on board at the time, was taken by pirates and used as a slave.

He had a good head, and after several turnovers, he finally came to the second of the three pirate brothers of the Wang family and became his cronies.

Of course, that was three months ago, and three months ago, when Gilvin killed the second child and became the leader of their gang of pirates, Balemon naturally became Given's cronies.

Plemont was in charge of the southwestern corner of the sea occupied by Given, and every two days he personally led a circle around the sea to see if the other pirates, especially the other two of the royal pirates, had invaded their territory.

The second is to see if there are any merchant ships passing by, which can make a profit.

Before the royal pirates were not divided, the monthly money system was implemented. In the past, merchants in the royal pirate area had to pay a monthly sum of money to seek the protection of the royal pirates.

Now, after the split of the royal pirates, the monthly money system is gone. The three branches of the royal pirates, each doing their own thing, wantonly robbed the ships that had passed.

As a result, soon the ships no longer passed through the area of the royal pirates, preferring to take a long detour.

Even if there were merchant ships passing by, they also passed very slippery through the borderline of the territory of the three pirates. Those places are considered three, and the presence of any of the three pirates will attract the attention of the other two.

No one wanted to cause a dispute, so it was a place where pirates would not raid, and it became a safe place for the slippery merchants to come and go.

In these cases, the income of these pirates can be said to have plummeted.

Every day, looking at this empty sea, they were very suspicious of the days when the pirates of the royal family had not been divided. At that time, the ocean was bustling and very prosperous.

At that time, the ocean was called the third continent after the two continents.

It's a pity that now, the ocean has become a no-man's land where birds don't.

Therefore, when he saw a merchant ship appear in his waters, Balmont's heart could not be more joyful.

Balmont ordered his men to move at full speed to the merchant ship. The medium-sized ship he was on was a little slower and fell behind, while the other three clippers sprang out like arrows from a string, and soon came to a distance of five miles from the merchant ship.

One of the clippers fired a fiery arrow that flew into the air and exploded. Then the people on the clipper waved a special flag.

This was a signal to tell the people on the merchant ships that the pirates were coming, telling them to abandon their resistance and wait where they were.
