The wind was high and the waves were fierce on the sea, and under the impetus of the strong wind, a wave several feet high rushed forward, and then rushed to the edge of an island two or three hundred miles from the land, and slapped heavily on the rock that had stood beside the island for a thousand years. In the roar, the jade powder that had been broken for a day quickly melted back into the turquoise water, rolling and rushing.

The wave also caused the waters around the island to tremble violently, and even the strange boats tied to the edge of the island with thick cables continued to sway up and down, left and right, as if they might leave the island at any moment.

In the end, however, the ships remained where they were, with only a small white skull flag embroidered on the top of the mast on the black bottom, which was hunting in the wind, exuding a terrifying and infinitely murderous aura.

But the ignorant birds, apparently unaware of the murderous intent of the ships, swept over the mast with their wings outstretched, and then cooed and fell straight downward.

These two bird calls quickly alarmed the inhabitants of the caves on the island, and several strange men with golden hair and red and white skin came out in response, and only whistled at the bird, and then stopped it on his arm.

The clothes these people wear are still stranger than their appearance, and both their clothes and pants are much shorter than their figures, so even in the late autumn season, everyone still shows their calves and arms. But the more this happened, the more they showed their wild wildness, and even the bird did not dare to move after it had stopped on someone's arm.

The gray-black bird was a dove of faith, and the man who borrowed it skilfully reached out and took a bamboo tube from its paws, and said in a language that only they could understand: "It has been several months, and at last there is business again." ”

Several other people had expectant and happy smiles on their faces, and they hurriedly stepped forward to watch the contents of the paper. However, the Chinese characters with clear handwriting on it were not something they could understand, and in the eyes of everyone, it was no different from a ghost drawing, and in the end they could only hug the man and go to the cave.

Don't look at the entrance of the cave here is not very big, in fact, it is very rich, covering an area of three or five acres, not to mention, and there are several small caves in it, just like the various rooms in a courtyard. At this time, when they came in, several heads poked out of some of the caves, and they also asked them in that strange language: "Robenz, is there any news from the other side of the sea?" ”

The tallest man immediately nodded and smiled: "Yes, after waiting for more than a month, we can gain something again." Just grab two or three more and we'll be enough to return to Rotterdam and exchange gold coins for a duke! ”

Hearing this, everyone in the cave let out a burst of cheers, but the sound echoed back and forth in the cave, but it was similar to the howl of a ghost and the roar of a wild beast. And after answering the crowd, Robents did not stop on his feet, and walked all the way in, until he came to the innermost cave, and shouted: "Hey, come and see what is written on it." ”

With this greeting, a man from the Central Plains, who was much thinner than them, stepped out, and what he said was actually the other party's language: "Is there another letter from the land?" Show me. So saying, he took the letter, and squinted it carefully by the light of the torches planted in the cave behind him.

After a while, he looked up: "This is written that there will be three more, and there will be four more big boats loaded with silk, tea and other items on the original route, and as long as they can be intercepted, everything will be ours!" ”

"Oh ......" Hearing him say this, all the strong men who came forward cheered: "Great, this time there are more things than the previous ones, as long as we can take the contents of these four ships, we can return to Rotterdam in style, and we don't have to stay in this place again!" ”

Robenz, who was cheering with everyone, suddenly saw that there was something wrong with the Han man on the other side, so he asked again: "What, is there anything wrong with this letter?" ”

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, although this trace is rusty, but it is reasonable that every time you write a letter, you will change people. I just think that the behavior of the Ming government this time is a little strange, since there are accidents at sea one after another, why do they actually transport such a large number of goods out? Aren't they afraid that we will rob them all? ”

"That's a good explanation, because they're in a hurry. Successive losses make them anxious to recoup their capital. Only by taking the risk of transporting a large number of goods out of the sea can we return to our capital as soon as possible. Robentz waved his hand and made his own judgment with some disapproval.

"However, it is also possible that the Ming Mansion caught our people on the shore and deliberately used these ships to lure you to attack, so as to take you all." This one looked quite cautious and reminded the other party.

"Haha, do you officials in the Ming Kingdom really have such a mind? If they had the ability, how could they have allowed us to rob the sea more than 20 times in a row? The strong man on the side said disdainfully.

"That is, even if the officials of the Ming Kingdom can really think of this strategy, their army is useless at all, and when it comes to the sea, how can they be the opponent of our invincible Black Pearl warriors who crisscross the entire Europa Sea? Not to mention that there are only four ships, even if there are forty more ships, we can annihilate them all under the leadership of the Black Pearl. ”

"Well said. As far as you Ming people are concerned, it's really nothing. If it weren't for the fact that there were fewer of us, we would have killed directly on land and conquered the rich cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou that you often mention! ”

The white men were full of disdain and boasting, and they didn't pay attention to each other's reminders at all. Even Robenz, as the leader, only smiled: "You must know that even the government troops of our motherland Netherlands, Portugal and Spain have always had nothing to do with us, let alone the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom." If they dare to come, we will kill them all! ”

"Oh, kill them all! Oh, snatch them all! As if to be excited, these white strong men in the cave shouted in unison, completely blocking back what the Ming man wanted to say, so that he could only be silent and silent.

For a moment, looking at these arrogant guys, he hated that the officials and soldiers could really wipe them out. But soon, reason suppressed the strange thought again, and he could only say, "I trust your abilities, but you must also be careful this time, because this time things are really strange. ”

Robenz nodded his head solemnly: "We will be ready for everything." Then he turned around again: "Everyone has grinded the guy fast, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and we will still be in the same place, so that those yellow-skinned monkeys know that we are powerful!" ”

His words once again provoked a burst of cheers from the crowd, as if the battle had long since ended, and all their possessions had been taken from them.

@@@@@

Suzhou City.

As early as two days ago, four large ships equipped with various water weapons and thousands of elites had left the port, and even if they stood on the dock and looked out, they could only see the empty blue sea and sky.

But Lu Zhen still brought someone here today, looked ahead, and said softly: "I really hope that I can lead the soldiers on those four ships to annihilate all those thieves and protect my Daming Sea Frontier." ”

"Your Excellency, now that you are the earl of the imperial court, how can you be in danger? After all, the sea is unpredictable, and there are enemies who don't know the roots, so you naturally want to sit in Suzhou and wait for the good news. Prefect Xiao Wentong hurriedly said this as if flattering.

But Lu Zhen laughed: "I thought that if I did a high job, I could do what I wanted, but now it seems that I think too much." The greater the official, the less free he is. Now I can't even relive the feeling of personally leading people to arrest the prisoner. ”

"By the way, my lord, who do you say will be the one who is robbing the sea? Why does that crazy Li Tiezhu always say such strange things? Tao Yong still couldn't let go of this, and now he subconsciously asked again.

"That's hard to say. Maybe it was the hallucinations of his near-death and frightened. Or ......" Lu Jin's heart moved, and he thought of the appearance of some people on the other side of the sea, which seemed to be somewhat similar to what Li Tiezhu said when he was talking nonsense. However, after thinking about it, I felt that this matter was really a bit unreliable.

Because as far as he can see, it will take a few more decades for the Age of Discovery to really appear in Western countries, is it because he has changed China's history that it still has a butterfly effect, and has also changed the trajectory of some people in the West?

"Or what?" The crowd asked curiously.

Lu Zhen laughed: "Or maybe it's really as you thought before, it was the Dragon King who brought the Yaksha, shrimp soldiers and crab generals to the sea to rob them." ”

These words also caused everyone to laugh, after knowing that it was someone from the White Lotus Sect who passed on the news, they were already convinced that it was a human and not some ghost or god who was robbing at sea, so naturally it was impossible to think about it in this regard.

But soon, everyone's smiles converged again, after all, the sea affairs are unpredictable, and no one dares to guarantee that the thousands of officers and soldiers who are here will definitely win a victory, or that the other party has not been fooled. In the end, everyone looked at the sea in the distance with great anticipation, but what they could see was calm......
