The sky fire was burning, the torches outside the paper window were flashing, and the shouts and scolding that should not exist in the transport fleet were mixed, Sun Qi clenched the revolver in his hand, but he didn't expect the revolver he had inadvertently made before to come in handy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Sun Qi went out to check, he saw Zhou Shuai coming in a hurry, his face was nervous, obviously something terrible had happened outside.

"My lord, several ships of unknown origin have surrounded us."

Unidentified? Sun Qi speculated that it should be a nearby water thief or a river and ocean thief.

When I came to the deck, I looked around the ship, and sure enough, there were many iron locks hooked to the mast, and the shouting came from the end of those iron hooks.

By the light, many people in black, probably dozens of people, climbed from those iron locks towards Sun Qi's ship, menacing, and the cold light flickered on their waists, the meaning of which was very obvious.

"Hurry up and get those township soldiers up, we have encountered Jiangyang thieves!"

The water transport in the south of the Yangtze River is very developed, and tens of thousands of freight ships pass through the Shenlong River every day, and the goods transported are even more gushing, and the number of gold and silver currencies is even more incalculable.

This is obviously a very huge wealth, a steady stream of wealth, so it also breeds similar to the prevalence of the profession of pirates of the river and ocean thieves, every year the imperial court's transport ships lose gold and silver on the Shenlong River, are enough for the annual administrative expenses of several states, but the imperial court is also helpless, these water thieves are hidden very deeply, the local army has been cleared several times, no matter how hard they increase, they can not be completely eradicated, and finally can only return in vain.

After a while, the murderous aura covered the entire Cao Yun boat, and dozens of black-clothed people were all wearing cold light on their waists, reflecting the moonlight on the lake under their feet, making the entire air freeze.

The intentions of these black-clothed people are even clearer than the bright moon of the Tianshan Mountains, robbing money!

The migrant workers were trembling, who would have expected to encounter such a genuine water thief on the first Cao Yun.

The villagers came behind Sun Qi, and some of them hadn't woken up yet, but after a glance at the situation in front of them, they immediately woke up. Zhou Shuai attached himself to Sun Qi's ear and didn't know what to say.

"This is a group of water thieves entrenched at the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the Shenlong River, and its boss is named Hei San, who is famous in this area, and all the boats in the past are terrified."

When the man in black boarded the ship, the scolding stopped a lot, but the lights were brighter and very dazzling.

The man in black automatically divided into two rows, and out of it came a black man, like a star from the sky, five big and three thick, and the muscles reflected in his body by the light were slightly reflective.

"Such a big ship, my lord, I have never seen the world, I have heard that the merchants from the South Seas are very rich, and the harvest today is quite small, who told me to meet you, I think I am unlucky!"

The corners of this black man's mouth flashed a wicked smile, and he looked extremely strange in the light.

"Daring Water Thief, do you know who we are?"

Zhou Shuai took the lead in attacking, with a burst of prestige and justice.

"Who are you? Master, I know that this belongs to the Jiangning realm, even if Feng Chuan comes in person, I have the ability to deal with him, not to mention you unarmed Nanyang merchants, I still can't take the robbery! ”

Hei San was very sure, this was a group of Nanyang merchants, because the size of this prey was obviously too large, reaching an outrageous realm, and the hull was very strange, he looked around the deck of the ship, the facilities on the ship were also very strange, what were those circles, what were the huge iron awls, it was obvious that this was not like an official or civilian ship of the Great Han.

With the knowledge of the Black Third and the others, this kind of ship can only come from those mysterious ghost places in the South Seas.

"Leave half of your ship's cargo, and who is the captain? Come with us, and for the rest, go back and prepare a ransom of three hundred taels. ”

Hei San was arrogant, and according to the previous hijacking routine, he only left half of the goods for the hijacked party, and then kidnapped his captain, and then extorted a huge ransom.

"I'm the captain, you're going to take me? You're only three hundred taels? It's too unpursued, right? ”

Sun Qi asked disdainfully, three hundred taels? It also needs to be prepared, Sun Qi's current worth is converted into silver taels, and the mountain of silver taels can completely smash the bodies of this group of pirates and their nests to pieces.

"You, you, don't rely on you Nanyang people to be rich, just come and bully me Heisan, then prepare five hundred taels of silver, I don't believe it yet!"

Hei San was so angry that he couldn't speak, his black face was a little angry, which was completely unexpected to him, why was the group of people kidnapped today so calm, in fact, he found a problem at the beginning, why did this young man who seemed weak and careless so indifferent, and the group of fierce bandits in the face of his own group did not change his face, and he was still ridiculing him for being calm.

When have you ever been ridiculed like this, okay, three hundred taels is too little, then five hundred taels! Heisan believes that five hundred taels is a sufficient ransom.

"Five hundred taels? Are you asking for food? I've lived for so long, and the first time I encountered a kidnapping ticket that only cost five hundred taels for ransom? My life is so worthless? ”

Sun Qi continued to tease, causing the township soldiers and members of the Garrison Department on the side to laugh, and even the face of the black-clothed man on Hei San's side was tense, as if he was holding back laughter.

"I'm not asking for food, we are Jiangyang thieves, so I asked which chamber of commerce and dart bureau on the Shenlong River don't know my black three? You, who look familiar, are you the director of the Security Department of Jiangning County? Last time, you led troops to prepare to exterminate my master? ”

Hei San explained with a red face, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Director Zhou, I remember you! Last time, I almost killed myself by your 100-step piercing Yang arrow, are you the official ship of Jiangning County? ”

Hei San glanced at Zhou Shuai, as if recalling a memory that he didn't want to remember, his face became even more unkind, and his black face was shaking, beating like a briquette.

"Yes, that's right, I'm Zhou Shuai, the director of the Jiangning Garrison Department, the person who almost killed you last time."

Zhou Shuai saw that he was recognized by the black three, so he no longer covered it up and admitted it.

Hei San turned his gaze to the young man beside Zhou Shuai, whether this young man who looked calm and breezy was the target person notified on the mission.

The Cao Yun ship that can be protected by the Jiangning Garrison Division, judging from Zhou Shuai's respect by Sun Qi's side, this is obviously Jiangning's Cao Yun Envoy!

"Jiangning's Cao Yun envoy? Are you Sun Qi? ”

Hei San's expression suddenly opened, and his black face smiled into a black flower, which was really a waste of effort.

"I am, what's wrong poor ghost?"

Hei San's stupid attitude suddenly became very vicious, as if he had seen an enemy.

"It's really a godsend, Hei Ye, I'm looking for you! Sun Qi. ”
