Chapter 116: Encounter with pirates

Seeing Li Da's cold face, Zhang Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "There are still five million taels in another place, if there is a way to live, this is what we left for ourselves." Since the last incident, Zhang Hui didn't dare to lie in front of Li Da anymore.

"As it said, you don't need any money where you are going, so pay it over." Li Da said coldly.

"Sure enough, they won't let us go." Zhang Hui said sadly.

"I don't think the official said he was going to kill you." Even if Li Da was joking, his tone was still cold.

Hearing this, Quan Yuan and Zhang Hui instantly felt that Li Da in front of them had become extremely cute, and Quan Yuan asked excitedly, "Did you say let us go?" ”

Li Da didn't speak, just looked coldly at the two who were extremely excited.

"The silver is full of gold and jewels in the walls of the house where we live, and it is worth about five million taels." Zhang Hui replied.

"You'd better not lie to me, or you're really going to die." Li Da said coldly.

"Li Zhangban, we didn't lie to you, we can swear." After Jeon Yuan finished speaking, he immediately made a vicious oath. Zhang Hui then made a vicious oath.

"Three boats will go to sea in Shanghai in three days, and these three boats are for you to dig gold mountains......" Li Da said.

"Got it, got it, don't worry, we will definitely leave Daming." Jeon Won said happily.

"Don't worry, here's a secret letter for you, you can open it after I leave." Li Da took out a sealed letter from his bosom.

"Got it, thank you, then we'll take our leave first, and we'll have a date later." Jeon Won was a little incoherent with excitement.

"It's better not to have a date later, if you see me again, it will definitely be your death." Li Da said coldly.

"No more meetings, no more meetings, we will never meet again." Jeon Won said excitedly.

……

These three days were the happiest and easiest three days for Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan, and the burden on their hearts was suddenly released. And the news that they will go to sea to dig gold mountains has also spread throughout the Jianghuai region.

In the past three days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to see off the two of them, and the landlords, wealthy merchants, officials, etc., who have become shareholders, have also begun to organize fleets temporarily, and those who do not have ships have also found ways to take a hitchhiker to see Jinshan together. In fact, the real big merchants, big landlords, and officials themselves would not go, but would entrust their agents to go with Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan.

Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan almost refused to come to those who asked to go together. On the day of departure, the flotilla, which had only three ships, had grown to seventeen, and if it weren't for the time crunch, the entire fleet might have become fifty.

At this time, under the influence of the Siberian polar regions, the northwest wind was blowing, and the whole fleet kept heading south, pointing to Manila.

When the fleet left the chicken coop in Taiwan to complete the replenishment, it set sail again. It's just that the construction of the chicken coop has just begun, and Zhu Youxiao's immigration has not yet begun.

But on the seventh day after the flotilla left the coop, the flotilla encountered pirates, a fleet of hundreds of ships.

"The pirate should be Li Dan, this person is a tyrant on the sea, and only he has such a big power in this area." Someone on the boat shouted.

"Yes, it's Li Dan's fleet, they are the most powerful pirates in this area." Someone chimed in.

"The pirate also asks for money, and we send someone to negotiate with him, and as long as he is willing to let us pass, we can pay for it." A businessman suggested.

This person's suggestion was approved by the majority, and they decided to negotiate with Li Dan and buy the road with money. It's just that the pirates completely rejected their suggestion, and Li Dan's only demand was to hand over Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan.

"Could it be that they are also coming for the Golden Mountain?"

"Definitely, yes, if Zhang Ye and Quan Ye are arrested, then how can we go to Jinshan?"

……

Just when everyone was talking, Li Dan's ship had already opened fire. Zhang Hui and the others' fleet had frigates, but there were only four, while the pirate fleet had dozens of gunboats, and the two sides were not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Although the pirate's cannon did not hit the ships on this side, the ten cannons fired at the same time, causing huge psychological pressure on the people here, and the already chaotic scene was even more chaotic.

"Don't panic, everyone, what they want is me and Zhang Ye, and Zhang Ye and I are willing to go to the pirates to change everyone's life." Jeon Won said loudly.

"But if you're gone, how are we going to get to Jinshan?" Someone asked.

"This is easy, I have a map here, it is a map to Jinshan, you just need to follow the map, you will definitely find Jinshan." Zhang Hui took out a map and said.

"Even if we find the Golden Mountain, how can we fight this group of vicious pirates?" Someone said sadly.

"Don't worry, even if I am a piece of pirate, I will never tell you the news of Jinshan. After we leave, you quickly return to Daming, ask for help, and form a larger fleet, don't be like this again, just after leaving Daming, you were robbed by pirates. Zhang Hui said.

"Master Zhang, don't worry, when we go back this time, we will definitely avenge you."

"Then brother, I'll go first." Quan Yuan walked righteously, and read as he walked, "People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, and it is ...... to use it differently."

Zhang Hui couldn't help but look up to the sky and smiled: "Take care, everyone! ”

"Master Zhang, Master Quan, let's go!"

"Master Zhang, Master Quan, take care!"

……

Seeing the awe-inspiring appearance of Quanyuan's righteousness, everyone was convinced. But most of the people on the ship still hoped that Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan would not leak Jinshan's news.

Everyone watched as Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan boarded the pirate ship. After getting Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan, the pirate really kept his contract, left the fleet, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan left, everyone had a disagreement about whether to still go to Jinshan, and some people insisted on going to Jinshan because they did not believe that Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan could insist on not confiding in Jinshan;

There are also some people who insist on returning to Daming first, forming a larger fleet, and then going to Jinshan, and now just out of Daming encountered pirates, and according to the map, there are at least one or two years to reach the destination, and there are not only Ming pirates on the sea, but also Western pirates, and now there are many pirates. And if Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan can't hold on, they will definitely leak the news that they have a map, and the pirates will definitely catch up again, not to mention that once the news of the map spreads, not only Li Dan will chase them at that time, but there will definitely be countless pirates catching up.
