Chapter 622: The Actor
The cold wind howled, and the wind mixed with ice crystals hit the face, so that the last trace of warmth in the whole body disappeared, and everyone on the ship, except for the sailors, hid in the cabin, even shivering over the fur.
Three days later, Zhen Qian's return to the Tang Dynasty sailed through the southernmost tip of the Wufeng Islands, and this time he returned to China still took the route he had taken to the Japanese State, although this route needed to cross the sea, but because it was rare to encounter pirates at sea, most maritime merchants still chose this route.
In contrast, the northern route was the most reluctant route for the Tang envoys, not to mention the bad relations between the two countries between the Japanese and the Silla kingdom, excluding the safety of navigation along the coastline, the biggest danger on the northern route was the many pirates, these pirates included the Japanese people, the Silla people, and some Hu people, of course, the most important ones were the Tang people.
Sending Tang envoys and maritime merchants is not a military organization, so it is impossible to accompany a large number of soldiers to ensure the safety along the road, so the general Tang envoys and maritime merchants prefer to choose the southern route trade across the sea.
But nothing can be said absolutely!
Just when some people on the ship were bored and drowsy, they suddenly heard the sailors on the ship ring the alarm bell and shout, "Enemy attack, pirates found!" ”
Pirate!
This era is a term that makes countless maritime merchants awe and fear, as if someone was drenched with a bucket of ice water from the head in the cold winter of Sanjiu, and ran out of the warm cabin in panic without caring about their appearance, forgetting the cold, and looking at the vast sea with fear and panic in their eyes.
"Where! Where are the pirates? ”
Amid the shouts of the sailors, countless people looked around, and under the blue sky, on the rough sea, in the eyes of everyone, a large ship with a skull appeared on the sea.
"Pirates! It's really pirates, why are there pirates here...... ”
Some people are frightened and confused, most pirates are not lone wolves, pirates have their own range of plunder, that is, sphere of influence, subject to navigation conditions and other reasons, the range of pirates is not large, under normal circumstances, it is a ten-day sea route, and it is almost impossible to go far.
There were many people who had such questions, but no one answered them, because what happened next made them feel the cold of the blade hanging from their necks.
"Another pirate ship!"
"Nope! It's three pirate ships that are surrounding us, oh my! We're going to be caught by the murderous pirates, we're going to be hung on masts by pirates, we're going to be thrown into the sea by pirates to feed the fish, they're going to make us into jerky ....... ”
Panic spread on the ship in an instant, those charming singers who came to the Tang Dynasty, those officials who were unwilling to come to the Japanese Kingdom, and several envoys of the Japanese Kingdom who went to the Tang Dynasty with Zhen Qian, their faces changed even more, like panicked cockroaches running around, but it was a pity that the boat was so big that they could escape there.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
A muscular man walked out of the cabin, and if you looked closely, you would see that there were red marks on his face that had not been erased, and even better eyes, and that there were marks on his body that had been scratched by sharp nails, and that he was wearing only a pair of calf-nosed pants on his lower body, and that his eyes were full of excitement.
"Don't panic your sister, that's a pirate, do pirates know? A group of thieves who kill people without blinking", many of them cursed in their hearts, but when the words came to their lips, they swallowed back, because they found that this person was the head of the guard on this ship.
"Brother Wang, the pirates are here, find a way to save us?"
"Haha, why bother with pirates, watch me kill them, tell me where the pirates are?"
Everyone almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, what was this guy doing just now, he was suspicious in his heart, but his face was respectful, at this time, it was not okay to be disrespectful, and his life was almost gone, so he could only pin his hope on this person, hoping that this person would not be strong and dry, and the silver wax gun head.
"Haha! Ben Langjun has never seen what kind of pirates, I think that Wang single-handedly went in and out of the pirate's lair, killing pirates with rolling heads, killing all the people in the world with a dragon slaying knife, and the little thieves who came there today let Grandpa Wang give them a profound and unforgettable lesson....... ”
"There it is!"
"And there!"
"There's it too!"
There was a bitterness in everyone's hearts, these days on the ship, this master has been drinking and making fun day and night, as if he has never seen him come out of the cabin, probably preparing to create a huge race!
This person is Wang Tianxing, who has not seen a figure since he got on the ship, and today he came out of the cabin with a strong smell of rouge and wine. Although many people are like this, but as the head of the guard on the ship, why do you have to show up often, thinking of this person's previous unreliable behavior, everyone's hearts hung again.
"Let me see, it's the idea that the open-eyed pirate dares to hit Grandpa Wang!"
Wang Tianxing pushed everyone away, staggered to the side of the boat, opened his somewhat puffy eyes, and looked into the distance with drunkenness.
"Huh! There is a ship, haha, it is a joy in life to meet other ships at sea, quickly lean over and say hello to them, the same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other, we should drink a big cup together! ”
Everyone was stunned!
My ancestors, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, you are not lying to us! Or is it the end of the world? That's a pirate, it's a real pirate, and a glass of wine together, that's a guillotine wine!
"Brother Wang, my ancestor Wang, Grandpa Wang, have you seen clearly, that's a pirate!"
"Pirates!"
Wang Tianxing rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up, and suddenly a sinister aura erupted from his body, instantly turning into a demon god, "Quickly take my treasure sword, I want to fight these pirates for three hundred rounds!" Saying that, Wang Tianxing turned around, poofed, fell unsteadily under his feet and fell on the deck, in the astonishment of everyone, the next moment he got up from the deck, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and shouted loudly: "The pirates are coming, raise the sails and run!" ”
This scene stunned everyone, this is also changing too fast, just now I didn't have to fight with the pirates for three hundred rounds, so now I have to escape.
However, everyone was secretly relieved in their hearts, fortunately, this person did not really rush up to fight with the pirates for 300 rounds, based on this person's performance just now, it is difficult to say whether he will die or not, but this person will definitely be the first to die.
"The pirates are coming, run away!"
Seeing that Wang Tianxing got into the cabin again, the disappointment on everyone's faces became even stronger, but now they can't take care of anything, even the guards have fled, and they don't hurry up and flee!
Suddenly, everyone found a very serious problem, how to escape!
