Nanyang, the Buddha Death Strait, the so-called Buddha Death, in fact, refers to Sumatra Island, and this period of Sumatra Island was ruled by the powerful Sri Buddha Death Kingdom, referred to as the Buddha Death, so the island also got its name from this, the so-called Buddha Death Strait, in fact, refers to the Strait of Malacca in later generations, which is also the transportation artery of the Great Song Dynasty to Central Asia and even Western Europe.

Dong Qing led a huge fleet of ships into the strait, this strait is jointly managed by two kingdoms, of which the Buddha Kingdom controls the south shore of the strait, and the other kingdom, that is, the Chola Kingdom controls the north shore, the two sides have also fought because of the control of this golden waterway, each other has won and lost, and no one can help the other for the time being.

Dong Qing was holding a telescope at this time and looking at the waterway in front of him, and the entire fleet was on alert, because this waterway was shared by the two kingdoms, which also led to a lot of chaos here, not only pirates were rampant, but also the sailors of the two countries often robbed the fleets passing by.

Among them, the kingdom of Zhuluo was originally on the Tianzhu Peninsula, but later expanded outward and controlled the north side of the Buddha Strait.

However, it is precisely because of the excellent ships of Chola that their country is rich in pirates, and nearly half of the pirates in the South Seas are related to Chola, so when it comes to Chola, the merchants who come and go all grit their teeth with hatred.

In contrast, the Buddha is a native of the South Seas in terms of shipbuilding, but the Buddha is also very powerful, because it controls nearly half of the islands in the South Seas, of course, the Buddha is nominally a unified kingdom, but the other internal is divided into fifteen kingdoms, but these fifteen kingdoms all respect the Buddha and pass away, and the real control area of the Buddha is actually mainly on the Buddha Death Island.

Whether it is Zhu Luo or the Buddha died, Dong Qing needs to be wary of the object, among which Zhu Luo, an open pirate, is not mentioned for the time being, what makes the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty hate the most is actually the kingdom of the Buddha's death, because the Buddha died very deferentially to the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, and even paid tribute many times, but in private he was not soft on the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, not only levied heavy taxes on the merchants who docked at their ports, but even sent sailors to pretend to be pirates to loot merchant ships, which also made the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty hate the Buddha's death with itchy teeth.

If it was placed in the past, Dong Qing would definitely gather a few fleets and then go through the strait at the fastest speed, after all, there are many people and great strength, even if it is Zhu Luo and the sailors of the Buddha, they don't dare to take action without permission when they see such a huge fleet, but today Dong Qing is burdened with a secret mission, so his fleet is walking very slowly, as if waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Brother Zhou, are you sure you can complete the task I gave you?" Dong Qing looked at the waterway in front of him for a while, then put down the telescope and took a long breath, then turned to a guy next to him who was pouring wine into his mouth with a wine gourd and asked.

"Shopkeeper Dong, you are responsible for sailing, we are responsible for killing, I will not question your ability to sail, and you should not question our ability to kill!" I saw that the other party glanced at Dong Qing coldly, and then poured a large sip of wine into his mouth.

This old brother Zhou looks very young, at most in his twenties, not very tall, but very strong, especially he has a scar on his face from his forehead to his chin, which makes him look even more fierce.

Dong Qing is naturally not a timid thing, and even since the great changes in his family, he has long stopped caring about his life, but after being glanced at by this old brother Zhou, he felt chills all over his body, as if he was not facing a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol, but a fierce beast.

"That's good, as long as this task is completed, Master Hou will definitely not be stingy with rewards!" Dong Qing endured the discomfort in his heart and spoke again at the moment.

Dong Qing actually didn't know much about this frightening Brother Zhou, but he knew that the other party was once a fierce general in the army, and he had a lot of military exploits in the army at a young age, but at the same time, this person's personality was very bad, not only drunk like life, but also cruel and easy to kill, he liked to cut off the enemy's limbs the most, and then let the other party's blood run out and die.

However, this Brother Zhou once kicked the iron plate, it is said that he caught an important person of the enemy on the battlefield, and the original request was to capture him alive, after all, the value of the other party's life is greater, but after the murderous nature of this Brother Zhou, he still cut off the other party's limbs and tortured him to death, which also provoked the anger of the upper echelons of the army, so the other party was kicked out of the army.

Dong Qing, as a maritime merchant, had dealt with murderous pirates before, so he knew at the first glance when he saw Brother Zhou that the other party was definitely a murderous person, and he didn't have much company with such a murderous character, but Brother Zhou was assigned by the above, and this mission also needed the cooperation of the two of them to complete.

Brother Zhou didn't seem to have any reaction to Dong Qing's words, as if he didn't care much about the rewards from above, in fact, he was originally an outlaw, and he was too constrained in the army, which also made his life in the army not very satisfactory, and now someone above has given him a chance to no longer be bound by anything, which is what he values the most.

"The owner, there is a three-pronged mouth in front!" At this moment, he suddenly saw an old boatman with black skin and red skin reminding Dong Qing.

The so-called three-pronged mouth refers to the exit position on the east side of the Buddha Strait is blocked by a small archipelago, forming two waterways, and the two waterways meet together in the strait, so a three-pronged mouth is formed, where the sea conditions are complicated, and it is also the favorite place for pirates to hide, so every time they walk here, the maritime merchants will be scared, for fear of encountering pirates.

Dong Qing also raised his binoculars when he heard this, and looked at it again, they entered the strait from the entrance on the east side, and walked the northern waterway, and the front was the intersection of the north and south waterways, and before their fleet arrived, he deliberately let people let out the wind, making many people think that his ships were carrying priceless fine porcelain, which would definitely attract many people's hearts.

As the fleet slowly moved forward, the three-fork mouth was getting closer and closer, only to see that the sea here was open, and the two sides were very close to both sides of the strait, and on the east side was a small archipelago, mainly composed of two large islands and several small islands, and even several pirate forces were entrenched on the island, but the size of his fleet this time was not small, and ordinary pirates really didn't dare to fight their ideas.

Of course, ordinary pirates don't dare, but not ordinary pirates are not necessarily, for example, Dong Qing and their fleet have just entered the three-fork pass, only to see a fleet of ships of unknown origin suddenly sailing towards them on the sea in the west.
