Chapter Seventy-Seven: Salvage
Regarding the treasure of the shipwreck, Shen Yue didn't want to hide his secrets, after all, this time the fleet was together, it was not good to secretly send someone to salvage it, and it was difficult to determine whether there were any treasures in it, so it was better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and understand everyone's careful thoughts. So he called all the merchants to discuss together.
"Shen Dongjia, this shipwreck can't be seen or touched, and that place is so dangerous, will we run in vain in the past?" The merchants said that they finally let the Shen family admit the account, and they were not too relieved about the treasure that suddenly appeared.
Zhang Yunlong didn't do it, his face was red with anger, his neck was thick, and he pointed at the Venerable Master who spoke and scolded,
"Are you saying I'm lying to you? You go to the road to inquire, our Dragon King of the East China Sea has always been above board, if you don't believe it, Lao Tzu will screw off your head as a night pot. ”
Damn, you're too unreasonable, why don't you pick our heads if you don't believe it? The merchants were speechless by his aggressive posture, and there was nothing they could do about this kind of hob meat. However, the previous fat businessman stood up and shook his head and said,
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." As he spoke, he arched his hand to Zhang Yunlong, and the obscene smile on his face made Zhang Yunlong feel a chill.
It is said that there were a total of eight dragon ships to transport, which were loaded with treasures treasured by the palace, but after being transported to Jinling, there were only seven left, there were two rumors at that time, one said that one was sunk on the way, and some people said that the escorted people fled with treasures. However, because it was at war with the Jin State at that time, the imperial court could not spare the energy to investigate, and it was hundreds of years. ”
After all, they also know the situation of the Shen family now, this time there is a lot of loss of personnel and goods, and the Shen family must be even worse, plus this time the pirates are coming, it is obvious that someone is dealing with the Shen family, even if they get to the Hangzhou dock, they will inevitably encounter more trouble, it is better to give it a try now.
"Then let's go and investigate? But we'll have to discuss this, if we really fish out something, how should we divide it? ”
Shen Yue naturally heard what they were thinking, waved his hand and said,
"This time, the Shen family's hands are extremely damaged, I'm afraid that no one can be drawn to help salvage, so we can only help the field on the periphery, so let's give it to you as a thank you gift for fighting the enemy together this time."
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, although Shen Yue was young, he was really generous, worthy of being a famous family, and after some flattery, they hurriedly retreated and prepared for salvage.
"Boss, didn't you cheapen them for nothing? The treasure ship I'm talking about is true, and the brother has picked up a few porcelain shards on a nearby reef island, and if I am half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms. Seeing that everyone was clean, Zhang Yunlong said to Shen Yue eagerly.
Shen Yue didn't care much about what he said, and explained with a smile,
"I don't doubt you, it's just that the treasure is moving, although the Shen family is in urgent need of money, but if they participate in the distribution of the treasure boat, the people's hearts will be scattered, and now the Shen family is in a bad situation, although it is lucky to win this time, but when it comes to Hangzhou, there will be more trouble to find the door, it is better to sell them a favor first, and then you can also give the Shen family a help, so as not to be alone."
Zhang Yunlong nodded helplessly, noncommittal to Shen Yue's words, he has always used a knife to speak, whoever is not convinced will cut whom, where to care about the twists and turns,
"The owner's concern is really thoughtful, this time our offense was also provoked by the villain, it was the Wu family in Hangzhou who secretly instigated, this Wu family is now wealthy, and it can be mixed in black and white, and some small pirate gangs will retreat when they see his fleet. Proprietors should be careful with them. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yunlong walked out with a gloomy expression.
Back on the Shen family's big boat, Shen Xiangyun had been waiting at the bow for a long time, and when she saw Shen Yue climb onto the bow of the boat, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a concerned face,
"It's hard for you this time, I've heard about the treasure ship, you did it right, now the Shen family is an eventful time, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to survive in a desperate situation."
Listening to the words of encouragement from the beauties around him, Shen Yue's heart warmed, and he sighed softly,
"I'm not worried about this, but this time I thought I could have more helpers, but unfortunately I couldn't keep it."
"You mean Zhang Yunlong's gang? It can't be, you saved his people, I heard people say that he has made an oath, how can he leave? Shen Xiangyun asked suspiciously.
Early the next morning, after a night's rest, the fleet was ready to go, and the news of the treasure ship had been spreading, and everyone's eyes were shining, and they couldn't wait. The shipwreck site is not far away, the voyage is about half a day's effort, Zhang Yunlong led his men to repair a few barely usable pirate ships to lead the way, that sea area is full of dangers, and the merchants are reluctant to let their ships in front.
Before he got closer, several huge water columns suddenly erupted from the sea in the distance, and I saw dozens of huge black figures swimming on the sea.
"Be careful, it's a school of whales!" The sailors shouted,
"Don't go any further, why are there so many big whales, the smallest one is bigger than our boat, if this hits, we won't all become fish food." The ships quickly stopped and stood on the deck and talked about it.
Shen Yue held the binoculars and looked carefully, he was also taken aback, those that looked like submarines gathered together, almost all of them were whales on the sea within a radius of ten miles, even if there was no wind first, they also set off a wave several meters high, and there were several abrupt reef islands not far away, which were estimated to have been formed by the eruption of an undersea volcano a long time ago.
"You wait here first, I'll take someone over to bomb a few of his mother's cannons to lure these big guys away, you have to seize the opportunity to salvage the wreck quickly." Zhang Yunlong stood at the bow of the ship and yelled at the merchant ships behind him.
Everyone applauded their fierce and fearless spirit, and hurriedly prepared ropes, pulleys and other tools, and a dozen or so sailors with good water skills were also in place, and they were going to dive down to search for them later.
"Knock...... "More than a dozen earth-shattering cannons rang out, disturbing the whales who were playing.
Dozens of whales blew up their nests, they are the overlords of the sea, where can they tolerate the provocation of these broken ships, rushed towards Zhang Yunlong's fleet, and with a flick of their tails, their huge bodies jumped out of the sea at once, and one by one giant black shadows smashed down, and the huge waves almost overturned the ship.
Fortunately, Zhang Yunlong's fleet was quick-eyed, and when he saw the whales starting, he had already picked up the speed, and while sailing fast, he still kept bombarding the fish chasing behind, and was chased out of sight in a blink of an eye.
