The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Manila Bay, and the galleons glow with pale red light and shadow, accompanied by the poetic rhyme of the waves, and the red halo on the sea surface sparkles and sways, which is refreshing. `

Facing the soft and cool sea breeze, Zhu Hui, who was standing on the bow of the boat with Bai Haishan, looked at the colorful coconut shadows in the distance, and was full of worries about this trip to Manila.

"Young Master Zhu, may I ask what you plan to do with Lin Feng?" Bai Haishan asked.

"Mr. Bai, our next trip to the sea is Acapulco on the other side of the ocean, if there is no armed force to escort us, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, may I ask if your old man is willing to help us?"

In the past ten years when he was forced to be a slave, Bai Haishan made a comparison between the merchants of the East and the West, and along the way, through Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er, he had a clear understanding of Lin Feng's situation.

After listening to Zhu Hui's words, Bai Haishan laughed loudly and replied: "I'm old, but I really have a weak heart. However, please don't worry about Zhu Gongzi, the old man will definitely train you to be an expert in navigation. ”

If Zhang Gou'er hadn't been guarding Lin Feng, I'm afraid Bai Haishan would have killed him a long time ago, although Zhu Hui also hated Lin Feng, but if it wasn't for him, who would be able to contact the hundreds of strong men who were scattered on Luzon Island?

"Thanks to the cultivation of the old man, I am grateful for my late life!" Zhu Hui gave Bai Haishan a deep salute, and then said: "I went to Manila in the hope of using the prestige of Lin Daao, to kill the prestige of those high-spirited Westerners, and to win a place for us Chinese businessmen here, but now it seems that Lin Feng has indeed disappointed everyone, please don't be surprised by the old gentleman, give him another chance." ”

Bai Haishan carefully looked at this polite, elegant and handsome young man for a while, and his heart was full of emotion, whether it was wisdom or martial arts, he was enough to act as the leader of the merchant group, with compassion for the sake of the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, he repeatedly saved Lin Feng and those poor pirates on Luzon Island; Thinking about that Wang Zhi, who has been a pirate all his life and has accumulated treasures for more than 40 years, is now all hidden in the depths of the sea, and that treasure map is in the hands of this young man, it is really the sky has eyes!

Thinking of this, Bai Haishan stretched out his hands full of cracks, caressed Zhu Hui's shoulders, his eyes were like electricity, stared at Zhu Hui tightly, and said emotionally: "Child, I understand, let's go, let's go and meet Lin Feng for a while." With that, he pulled him up and went to the command module.

At this moment, Lin Feng was crying bitterly in front of Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren, no one knew whether he was true or false, and Zhang Gou'er, who had a solemn expression, was silent beside him.

Now that Zhu Hui and Bai Haishan came over, Lin Feng knelt down in front of the two of them, wiped his tears and said: "For the lives of hundreds of brothers, I beg Zhu Gongzi and Bai seniors to let me go!" ”

Before Zhu Hui could speak, Bai Haishan asked, "Where do your pigeons go?" ”

"Bai senior, Li Ruiqi, who raised pigeons, is dead, and there is no one who can use carrier pigeons to pass on the book. Lin Feng replied.

Bai Haishan glanced at Zhu Hui, and now he nodded, so he continued to ask, "Then, after landing on the island, how can you contact them?" ”

"Don't hide it from the old-timers, I have a common enmity with those Westerners, after landing on the island, they will not let me go, now hurry up and give me a speedboat, let me get off the boat, ten days later, I will definitely be able to bring the brothers back to Yuegang, and accompany the two elders to the sea in the future." When Lin Feng said this, he pointed to the harbor outside the cabin and said loudly: "Let me go, it's too late!" ”

At this time, Zhu Hui persuaded: "Uncle, I have reached a consensus with General Fernando and Governor Lavizares, they will not be embarrassed for you, with you, you can increase the bargaining chips with the Westerners, and to win a place for our merchants in Luzon, please uncle must obey the overall situation." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately turned his face, pointed at Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er and scolded: "You two little bastards, do you have to sell me to Western ghosts?" If I die, hundreds of brothers on Luzon Island will definitely kill Xiangyue Harbor and bloody Fuxian Village, believe it or not? ”

Seeing that Lin Feng was playing a scoundrel again, Zhang Gou'er, who was pale, was also angry, and immediately pulled out his sword and said sharply: "Uncle, please respect yourself!" ”

"Nan Wu Amitabha, since Lin Shi is going to go, let him go." Elder Moon Sky said, unslashing Zhang Gou'er's sword.

"Senior Lin Feng thanks the two elders for their mercy, and I will go to gather the old department, and I will be waiting for you in Mindanao in the near future, escorting the two elders to go abroad and Xuanhua all over the world." Lin Feng said, bowed deeply to the two elders, turned around and was about to walk out again.

"Go, please don't forget Lord Lin Daao, there are still your wives and children in Yuegang." Xuande Zhenren preached loudly.

Listening to the master's words, Zhang Gou'er and Zhu Hui both flashed aside, Bai Haishan looked at the two elders, and then looked at Lin Feng, and already understood in his heart that after Lin Feng left, it would never be possible to come back, and he would definitely gather his old troops to go to the sea to hunt for treasure.

So, Lin Feng selected a few of Cai De's men from the water, dragged out a speedboat in the bilge, and after the group got on the speedboat, they hurriedly sailed in the direction of the mouth of Manila Bay and disappeared into the night......

Sending Lin Feng away, Bai Haishan complained: "Aren't you afraid that Lin Feng will go hunting for treasure alone?" ”

Elder Yuekong smiled slightly and replied: "Maybe Hui'er believes in Westerners too much, in the eyes of the poor monk, Westerners may not kill Lin Feng, but they will definitely not let him go, after arriving in Manila, once Lin Feng can't withstand the intimidation of Westerners and betrays the secret of the hidden treasure, may I ask Mr. Bai, isn't your hard work in vain?" ”

Zhu Hui suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Master, in this way, isn't that huge treasure going to fall into Lin Feng's hands?" ”

"If he gets that treasure, he will definitely recruit troops and collude with the Japanese to cause trouble on the southeast coast of our Ming Dynasty, how can this be good?" Zhang Gou'er also exclaimed..? `c?om

Xuande Zhenren shook his head and sighed: "The poor Dao's unassuming disciple Jingming has arrived in Japan, and the treasure in the depths of the sea is no longer a secret; and Princess Xu of the Ryukyu Palace, once she can't wait for the news of Mr. Bai, she will also have the idea of searching for treasure alone; Wang Zhi's life's treasure is buried in the depths of the sea, and the news is also spread in Yuegang, I don't know how many pirates will be tempted, can we manage it? ”

"Where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend. Not being greedy for ill-gotten wealth is a blessing, and whoever wants to seek it, let him find it. Elder Yuekong clasped his hands together, said Nan Wu Amitabha, and then took Xuande Zhenren back to the cabin.

Bai Haishan originally hoped to join hands with Lin Feng to transport this treasure back to Princess Xu, but thinking about the words of the two elders at this moment, he was suddenly very disappointed, so he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, now Wang Cuiqiao was standing in front of him, took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to him, and said miserably: "Brother Haishan, please, the slave family was forced to be a bandit, it was really a last resort. If the slave family is not tolerated by the court and succumbs to death by the sword of the government, please give this pamphlet to my daughter in the future, and be sure to tell her that her mother is not a pirate......"

Saying that, Wang Cuiqiao, who was shy of flowers in the closed moon and sunken fish and geese, was already silent.

"Please rest assured, Ling Zun is the life-saving benefactor of my Bai family, and suffered a catastrophe because of this, and even caused you to sell yourself to save your father, and finally went overseas to marry Xu Hai, I thought that Luo Wenlong, a student of Hanlin Academy, was a person who could be trusted, but I didn't expect him to be a traitor of the Yan family, and his thief heart was too much for Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, brother, I understand, even if these treasures are sunk to the bottom of the sea, they can't fall into the hands of these wolf ambitions."

"With my brother's words, the slave family is relieved, while Xu Hai has not repented, you should hurry up and leave with these treasures."

Bai Haishan took out the navigation chart, pointed to a huge island, and said: "Sister, this deserted 6 land, when we went to the new university 6 to preach, because of the sea lost, when we returned to Sumatra, and was shipwrecked, I was the only one who escaped, no one in the world knows about this big 6, if we can succeed, I will take my sister here......

Speaking of this, Bai Haishan couldn't help but cry like rain, so Wang Cuiqiao took the nautical chart, and wrote in Western with a pen: I am willing to donate this treasure to God, if anyone wants to take it, you can take it, as long as you are willing to pay the same price!

At this time, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and read in his heart: Cui Qiao, your brother is gone, and my daughter has entered the palace to become a princess, my promise to you has not been fulfilled, please rest assured, I will not let you die in vain.

Suddenly, feeling that someone was patting him on the shoulder, Bai Haishan wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, opened his eyes, and now Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er were standing in front of him, so he forced a smile and said: "Two sons, your master is right, for that huge treasure, whoever has the ability to take it, let him take it." ”

Zhang Gou'er gave a deep salute and said: "Mr. Bai, it seems that my uncle can't count on it, Brother Zhu Hui and I are still young, and we are about to sail to the sea to Xinda 6 Please sir." ”

"The old man is determined to be thousands of miles away, and the martyr is full of strength in his twilight years, and he has to accompany you to go through the new big 6, let's compete with Westerners." As he spoke, Bai Haishan clasped his hands tightly with the two young men.

The merchant ship was about to approach the Bashi River estuary, and suddenly, a group of Western patrol ships surrounded them, and some sailors hurriedly came up to report to Bai Haishan, and this group of Western soldiers was going to board the ship for inspection.

Bai Haishan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately brought the owner Shen Qi and Tang Jing, Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er to deal with it together, and Mark also came over as a translator.

It was General Fernando who boarded the ship to check, only to see that he led a group of soldiers with arquebuses, and did not pay attention to Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er, who had helped him, and came to Shen Qi's approach with a fierce attitude, and ordered: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you brought the pirate Lin Feng, quickly hand him over to me!" ”

After listening to Mark's translation, before Shen Qi could answer, Zhu Hui stepped forward to stop Fernando and asked, "Your Excellency General, have you forgotten?" You promised us to let Lin Feng come to Luzon once, and ask him to re-recruit the old department to accompany us on our voyage to Xinda 6. ”

General Fernando replied reservedly: "Even so, Lin Feng must be under our control. ”

Zhu Hui also heard that the general was not at ease, it seemed that the two masters were right to let Lin Feng go, Fernando really did not intend to let Lin Feng go, at this time, more and more Spanish soldiers boarded the ship to inspect, and the lantern torches illuminated the merchant ship as if it were daylight.

After more than two hours of tossing, hundreds of Western soldiers controlled all the people on the ship, and the only translator, Mark, was also captured by them......

At this moment, Zhu Hui felt how naïve he was, and Zhang Gou'er couldn't help but complain that he shouldn't believe the promise of Westerners, only Bai Haishan accompanied Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren didn't seem to care.

At midnight, the bell of Manila Cathedral rang, and Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren asked Zhu Hui to hand over the treasure map......

In that year, he led more than a dozen ships full of treasures to an archipelago, sent people to the island to look for fresh water, sent more than ten groups of people before and after, all of them went to the island, and later, he personally led dozens of sailors with muskets to the island, as soon as he landed, he heard all kinds of whistles endlessly, and then, the dense jungle suddenly rushed arrows, so everyone quickly lay on the ground.

At this time, a large group of people wrapped in straw skirts and painted faces suddenly came out of the jungle, and threw spears and stones at them, and someone dragged the unfortunate sailors into the jungle, so Bai Haishan ordered the sailors to get up quickly and fight these natives, but they soon disappeared into the jungle, and when they chased into the dense forest, someone let out a miserable scream, and when Bai Haishan chased after them, there were piles of clothes and bones of the missing sailors, and all the flesh on their bodies was gone.

Bai Haishan screamed badly, so he urgently ordered people to evacuate the island, but when they arrived at the beach, they still had several large ships dragged by this group of savages to the beach and stranded, and the corpses of countless sailors were floating on the sea......

After the capture of the interpreter Mark and the continued protest against their actions, General Fernando searched the merchant ship unscrupulously, and there was a great tendency to not give up until Lin Feng was searched.

With the consent of the two elders, Bai Haishan took this nautical chart and came to General Fernando's approach, and opened his mouth to speak fluent Western, which made the reserved general His Excellency impressed.

At that time, Bai Haishan was exiled to Cebu Island, and was forced to be a slave in the mansion of the first Manila Governor Legazpi, and it was not difficult to communicate with General Fernando, he told the origin of this nautical chart in detail, pointed to the islands on the chart, stretched out a small head to the northwest, tail hanging southeast, like a big turtle, so he named it "Big Turtle Island", and told them that Lin Feng had gone to search for treasure on the big turtle island.

General Fernando carefully examined this chart, had heard the legend that cannibals lived on this archipelago, and was deeply convinced by Bai Haishan's words, and when he saw the sentence written by Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao, he smiled knowingly, put this map into his pocket, blew the whistle on his chest, and left Shen Qi's merchant ship with the team.

After this commotion, it was already the second half of the night, and everyone was resting on the boat, and it was not until dawn that the merchant ship sailed into the wharf of the Bashi River estuary, where the proud Felipe was warmly greeted.

Shen Qi and the others entered the Royal City of Manila, arranged for Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren and others to live in his mansion, and he took Bai Haishan, Tang Jing, Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er to Felipe's house to discuss business.

In the next ten days, Felipe bought all the porcelain and tea on the merchant ship and shipped it to Europa, he and Shen Qi signed a contract, and the two sides jointly opened a silk factory in the Akop Pediatrics Department of the New University 6, and entrusted Tang Jinglai to be responsible for production and processing, Shen Qi formed a merchant fleet to transport raw silk to the New University 6, and when he returned from the New University 6, he purchased sweet potatoes and corn from there and shipped them back, and Felipe was responsible for the sales of silk in the New University 6.

Just as they were about to open this new Silk Road, General Fernando on Luzon, Lin Feng, who had already rerecruited his old troops in Mindanao, and Jingming and Shen Mao, who were far away in Japan, were not idle, and everyone was all looking at the Big Turtle Islands in the depths of the ocean.

Princess Xu sent Bai Haishan to Yuegang to look for Lin Feng, and the first and second class did not see him come back, so she was not relieved, but she also had no available people, so she carried Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er on her back, and privately found a shipowner in Naha Port through horseshoe, and asked him to quietly form an expedition team and go to Luzon to find Lin Feng and Bai Haishan first.

At the same time, a sea under Wang Zhi back then
