The weather was not very good that day, and the wind started to blow in the evening, and the weather was very stuffy. Experienced people can tell at a glance that this is about to be windy.

Such weather is very dangerous for all those who make a living at sea, and even pirates will find a safe place to hide. Of course, there are also those who are crazy people who look for thrills in the storm, completely oblivious to the dangers. The end of this kind of person is often to die in the belly of the fish.

Of course, there are very few who can escape the catastrophe, and nature will give the most generous reward. This is the greatest affirmation of heaven and earth for the courage of these people.

The one who can do this, without a doubt, is the elite of the pirate elite, and for most pirates, it is a legendary existence.

Even Zheng Laohu himself admitted that even if he had such courage, he did not have such a good ship, let alone a helmsman with such good technology.

In Zheng Laohu's opinion, he and his brothers can't do it, and Daomen's fleet, which is all rookies, can't do it even more.

Therefore, when Zheng Laohu found out that the sea wind was coming, he immediately hoped to find Yu Ziqing, and suggested that the other party find a safe place first and wait for the wind to pass. But the truth was that none of the sailors he had access to believed him.

"What, don't think I'm that kind of landlubber! I don't even know about the gale! Lao Tzu has also seen the dragon hanging! You probably don't even know about dragon hanging, do you?! ”

Several of the sailors around laughed.

Most of these sailors ran to Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. For them, seeing the dragon hanging is equivalent to seeing the dragon king appear. They don't think that there will be dragon kings passing by on the sea every day. After all. The sea is so big.

Seeing these sailors behaving like this, Zheng Laohu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. What made Zheng Laohu even more desperate was Yu Ziqing's reaction later.

After Yu Ziqing listened to Zheng Laohu's words, he only replied to Zheng Laohu with three words:

Got it.

Zheng Laohu was so anxious that he couldn't believe that Yu Ziqing would answer him like this. In Zheng Laohu's view, even if it is with a mallet, as long as it is on the boat. It is not possible that someone who has not heard about the gale at sea, and how can someone who has heard about the gale at sea react like this?

Zheng Laohu couldn't figure it out.

Zheng Laohu knows it very well. The imperial court's treasure ships are still a little smaller than this, but each treasure ship can hold at least a thousand people. When the imperial court's treasure ships go to sea, they will be equipped with at least seven or eight hundred soldiers, which are equivalent to all the personnel of this fleet.

Zheng Laohu couldn't figure it out. That's just a small amount of manpower. This Yu Ziqing thought that he could fight the sea wind.

It's crazy!

Zheng Laohu walked around his room.

He was scared to death by the future that was about to be buried in the belly of the fish. It was at this time that he remembered Jia Jiu.

Although he himself knew that this female Daoist's status in the fleet was obviously inferior to that of this Daoist named Yu Ziqing. However, at this time, there is only a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Jia Jiu had been drawing charts in the cabin, but since this evening, Jia Jiu felt impetuous, and even had some difficulty concentrating. Plus the sun is skewed. The light in the cabin became worse and worse, so Jia Jiu simply pushed the drawings. Holding the bowl and thinking about it.

It was at this time that there was a knock at the door.

Jia Jiu was surprised that Zheng Laohu would be looking for him.

Although it is said that female pirates like He Hongxiu are indispensable on the sea, in this world, men always look down on women for many things. Even if he was in the Daomen, the senior brothers were very polite to him, but when he really encountered something, Jia Jiu's right to speak was still not as good as those silver-clothed Daozi candidates. There is no other reason, but because Jia Jiu is a woman.

This is Jia Jiu's personal experience in the past few years of staying in Daomen.

"Dao Chief, I have no other way."

For Zheng Laohu at this moment, if he had any other way, he would never come to Jia Jiu.

"What?"

"Gale, gale is coming......"

"Is it the kind of wind that can push to the house and uproot a century-old tree?"

"That's right, that's it."

Zheng Laohu didn't expect Jia Jiu to know about the sea wind.

Yes, there is no proper noun typhoon in this era. When people at sea mention typhoons, they simply say that they are strong winds, or they are very strong winds.

Because there is no proper noun, because there is no accurate and detailed information about the gales at sea, in this era, it is better to pray directly to God for mercy if the inland people have some understanding of the dangers of the gales at sea.

Jia Jiu was able to say the words "pushing the house and uprooting the trees", thanks to that era of information explosion and various reports of typhoons every year.

But if Jia Jiu wants to come up with any charter, it is impossible.

Jia Jiu said to Zheng Laohu: "Daomen attaches great importance to this voyage, and specially sent me and my senior brother. It's a fact. However, the command of the fleet was handed over to my senior brother from the beginning, and it was not in my hands. My main responsibility lies in the mapping and the search for food minerals. This is also true. Since Senior Brother is the leader of the fleet, even I can't easily veto Senior Brother's decision. ”

Zheng Laohu almost couldn't believe what he heard: "Even if it is about the life and safety of the entire fleet? ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." In other words, in times of crisis, I have to work together with my brother. However, in normal times, I cannot interfere with my brother's decision until the crisis comes. Even if I knew there was something wrong with that decision. ”

Knowing this, Zheng Laohu almost collapsed to the ground.

This, doesn't this mean that he should wait for death?

At that moment, Zheng Laohu and Yu Ziqing had desperate hearts. Of course, before fighting hard with Yu Ziqing, Zheng Laohu first wanted to kill the hateful woman in front of him.

Zheng Laohu suddenly got up.

He planned to go to Yu Ziqing again, no matter what, he wanted the other party to accept one of his own.

"Do you think this kind of thing is going to be useful by talking?"

After learning about Zheng Laohu's intentions. Jia Jiu stopped him.

"But, but, if you don't let the Taoist change his mind. That's going to kill a lot of people. ”

"As a pirate, would you still be afraid of death?"

Zheng Laohu hurriedly said: "Everyone at sea knows that the people on these thirty-three ships are all chicks!" On a windy day, this is a godsend! The one who came to rob tonight may not be one or two pirate groups, but the union of all the pirate groups in this sea area, even. Even the pirates who are now locked up in the cabin will take the opportunity to bite us back. And our fleet is less than a thousand people, scattered on thirty-three ships! There is simply no way to organize an effective counterattack. ”

Jia Jiu said in a deep voice: "You are wrong. Able to ride the boat on a windy day at sea. Even among the pirates, it is the elite of the elite. There is no doubt about that. And with so many ships at sea, most of them can't resist the waves on a windy day, so you must find a safe haven. There are also a number of ships that can come and go freely in the waves on windy days. Therefore. Blindly looking for a safe haven at this time. It's easier to bump into pirates. This is one of them. Second, I was eager to see how long the ship could hold out in the face of the strong winds. As for my senior brother, I think he is quite confident in his heart at this moment. ”

Zheng Laohu was stupid: "You guys actually think like this?" ”

Over the past few days, Zheng Laohu has seen the strength of Jia Jiu and Yu Ziqing, and he also admits that the strength of these two people is indeed excellent. But he never expected that these two would actually want to use this group of rookies to fight with the sky!

That's a ship that will be destroyed if you're not careful!

If Jia Jiu didn't know anything about the gales at sea. Zheng Laohu can only lament his luck. But knowing the power of the wind at sea, he still wants to fight with the sky. Zheng Laohu didn't know how to describe this woman.

In a frenzy? Unreasonable?

Zheng Laohu didn't think that these eight words were enough to describe Jia Jiu.

Zheng Laohu couldn't help but stand up, like a trapped beast, circling around the house, making Jia Jiu dizzy.

Jia Jiu had no choice but to say, "Island Master Zheng, please take a seat." ”

"This ......"

"Sit."

Helpless, Zheng Laohu had to sit down again.

Looking at Zheng Laohu like this, Jia Jiu thought a lot.

He knew that the crew recruited by the Daomen might not care about the strong wind at sea, but the pirates who were locked up still cared a lot. They are begging for a living at sea, and their fear of these things is definitely beyond the imagination of others. Only those who have truly seen the power of nature will truly engrave the fear of nature into their bones. Of course, whether this fear can be transformed into true courage depends on him and Yu Ziqing.

This is also Jia Jiu's purpose.

A sailor who has not been baptized by a storm can only be a first brother forever; Sailors who have not experienced the blades of pirates will never have the courage to take up arms.

As for the typhoon, it is not only a challenge to these ships, but also another challenge to Jia Jiu.

Typhoons, or winds at sea, are simply hurricanes with strong attraction due to large-scale air movements caused by pressure differences, coupled with the action of latitude and the rotation of the earth.

The focus is on the air pressure difference, then the air quality, inertia, and so on. As long as the pressure difference can be broken, it is not impossible to eliminate the hurricane.

In fact, among the monks, there are many who can simulate a hurricane, and there are many who have made a tornado go away. However, against strong winds at sea, the requirements for cultivation are definitely not an order of magnitude different from the requirements for fighting tornadoes in rivers.

Jia Jiu also wanted to know if he would be able to resist a hurricane at sea if he cultivated to this point. Jia Jiu was very curious, as a map modification cheater level, whether he had the ability to fight against hurricanes at sea.

Jia Jiu knew that unless he saw it with his own eyes, otherwise, even if he wore out his mouth, Zheng Laohu would not believe a word. If he was worried about his own life and was playing tricks behind his back, Zheng Laohu did have the ability to cause trouble for them.

After thinking about it, Jia Jiu made a decision: "Island Master Zheng, have you been to the cabin below?" ”

Zheng Laohu shook his head and said, "I've never seen it." ”

Jia Jiu said: "So, would you like to accompany me to the cabin below?" ”

Zheng Laohu was stupid.

Suffice it to say that since he got on the ship, he has been walking around the four cabins above, and he has noticed that there is a door down, but he has never had a chance to go down. Every time I approached those three gates, I was blocked.

As a pirate, it would be false to say that he had no curiosity, but at this moment, Zheng Laohu didn't think that knowing what was in the cabin below would give him a little more confidence to face the hurricane.

Jia Jiu smiled and motioned for Zheng Laohu to follow.

This time, Zheng Laohu really did not encounter any more obstacles. When the guards saw Jia Jiu clearly, they immediately bowed down and let Jia Jiu pass, and they didn't even look at Zheng Laohu, who was following Jia Jiu.

The cabin above was empty, and Zheng Laohu knew. But as soon as he got off the stairs, Zheng Laohu found that he was wrong.

It's lively here.

Below the stairs was a hall, Zheng Laohu roughly counted, here alone, there were enough fifty or sixty people, and all of them were wearing Taoist robes. One of the leaders saw Jia Jiu and hurriedly came over to ask for peace: "Zhiliu has seen Uncle Shi." This is ......"

As the No. 1 merchant in Daqi, the Cao family will not give up any opportunity. Even if this road is opened, it must take the life of the Cao family's best man.

It is for this reason that Zhiliu became the real principal of this ship.

"The owner of Liuxian Island, Zheng Island, may be a nail we planted in the sea in the future. So, I took him down to have a look. ”

Zheng Laohu was taken aback, and he realized that he seemed to have entered a very remarkable place. Moreover, since he knew the secret, he was afraid that he and his brothers would have to listen to the Tao.

Seeing Zheng Laohu's expression, Jia Jiu replied, "Just as you can see." Those who were recruited to do some chores and other work on the ship. The people who really drove this ship were the people of my Daomen. ”

Zheng Laohu said: "How many people are there?" ”

Jia Jiu replied, "One hundred and twenty people on each ship. ”

Zheng Laohu said: "Such a big ship has no sails, so there should be a paddle room?" ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zheng Laohu said: "So, these days, these people have not been on the deck at all? ”

Zheng Laohu thought it was incredible.

He knew what it meant to go to rest on deck for a sailor. If you can't go to the deck to rest, it's easy to drive you crazy. Keeping the betrayer in the chamber until the betrayer goes mad and then throwing them into the sea is also a common method used by pirates to deal with the betrayer.

Jia Jiu replied, "If you hadn't come to me today, I wouldn't have let you know about this." Actually, it's not that you don't go to the deck, it's that you and the pirates never know. ”

Zheng Laohu felt that he was a big idiot.

He said, "So, how did the ship sail and how did it have such speed?" ”

Jia Jiu replied, "Have you ever been to the rear of the boat?" Do you notice the huge splash in the back? (To be continued.) )
