The fact that Tang Ming was attacked by the Bright Sect did not spread it, the person concerned, Tang Ming, did not say it, and Zhu Di, the emperor, did not say it, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info left Hou Xian and the Suzhou prefect busy, and Tang Ming quietly got on his fleet Tianjin Wei that day.

On the other side of the sea, Zhu Yong and Li Ba took more than a dozen pirate ships and unknowingly sailed to Yueguo. At this time, the Yue State was the period of the Hu regime, and the Chen Dynasty had already fallen, and diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty were severed under the rule of Hu Ji. During this period, the Yue Kingdom directly implemented the policy of banning the sea, and there was not a single Ming ship on the wharf here.

Some of them are only smuggled seamen, but due to the ban on the sea, very few fleets will come here to trade. At first, Zhu Yong and Li Ba didn't know that this was Yueguo, but when they entered the dock, they realized that they had unknowingly come to Yueguo.

After knowing that they came to Yueguo, Zhu Yong and Li Ba were very happy, and they no longer had to be lost in the vast sea like headless flies. Just exchange and replenish the daily necessities here to return to Daming, after floating on the sea for nearly a month, it is rare to come to this foreign place, Zhu Yong and Li Ba naturally don't want to leave like this.

After the two of them summed it up, they handed over the chores on the ship to their subordinates, and went to the city with a few men. Hanoi is an important city in Vietnam, with relatively developed people and economy. Although it is now the period of the forbidden sea, there are no merchants here at the dock, but there are still more or less merchants.

In addition to the local aborigines in the Yue Kingdom since ancient times, in fact, most of the people in the ruling class are people from China, and the language of the Ming Dynasty is still common here, but it is a pity that even if it is spoken, it is only the dialect of some places. For example, Hokkien dialect is more common here, but Zhu Yong and Li Ba can't understand it.

Fortunately, there are also some maritime merchants smuggled by the Ming Dynasty here, although there are not many, but there is no problem to inquire about the news and ask for directions. If you want to know a place, the best place in the city is the restaurant, Zhu Yong and Li Ba were guided by the enthusiastic villagers to the most upscale restaurant in Hanoi City, 'Dragon and Phoenix Building'.

This dragon and phoenix building is said to be the best restaurant in Hanoi City, but it is only an ordinary restaurant with two floors high and an area of no more than one acre. At this moment, it was almost time for dinner, but seeing that the restaurant was still deserted, Zhu Yong couldn't help frowning, and Li Ba also showed a look of disdain.

The villager who led the way for them is actually an authentic head snake, their family has been here for three generations, and his family was implicated when Hu Ji rebelled. Now he is left alone to earn a living near this dock, the man is about thirty years old, in order to avoid the pursuit of the government, he named himself Ergou. The survival of being a wedge on the dock for many years has trained his ability to see people.

From the very beginning when he saw Li Ba and Zhu Yong, he knew that these two must be leaders and other figures, and then observed the dozen or so ships docked on the dock, Ergou had already concluded that these two big men were pirates. After some contact, he learned that these two masters were still pirates from the Ming Dynasty, which immediately made Ergou think about letting these two masters also let him join the pirates.

In the past two years, the Yue Kingdom has become more and more unstable, and there have been assassinations and turmoil in various places, and some remnants of the Chen Dynasty have been assassinated to death by Hu Ji, who has seized power. Civil strife also occurs from time to time, and in such a turbulent situation, Ergou's survival is becoming more and more difficult, and there is no guarantee for his small life.

Finding a strong pirate gang to join and staying away from this place of right and wrong is his best choice. At this moment, seeing that the two masters showed disdain for this restaurant, Ergou hurriedly explained: "The two masters don't know, now that the territory of Yue is in turmoil, the business of this restaurant is still somewhat affected, but the wine and food here are absolutely first-class, and the two masters will not be disappointed!" ”

How did he know that Zhu Yong's purpose was to find out the news, if there were no diners in this restaurant, they would still inquire about the news. However, after seeing the very talkative Ergou, Zhu Yong smiled toothily and nodded, and then took the lead in entering the restaurant.

Since the ban on the sea, the business of the restaurant has been getting worse day by day, and the old shopkeeper is looking at the few bills on the account book with worry. He knew that if he continued like this, if he couldn't improve his business, what was waiting for him would be to roll up and leave, and the owner would definitely not have any affection to say.

The old shopkeeper who was worried raised his eyes and saw Ergou come into the restaurant with two big men, the old shopkeeper's face was happy, and he quickly nodded at Ergou, and then welcomed Zhu Yong and Li Ba to the window upstairs in the most enthusiastic way. After ordering food and wine, the old shopkeeper left with a smile, and when he passed by the second dog, he secretly stuffed some broken silver in his hand.

Ergou was not surprised at all, skillfully weighed the weight of the broken silver in his hand, and then nodded and smiled at the old shopkeeper with satisfaction.

Although the two of them did all this quietly, they were still discovered by the sharp-eyed Zhu Yong, but he didn't care about it, and people who often walked on the dock knew that it was a way to make money. It is understandable that some restaurants or merchants will always ask some people to solicit business for them at the pier or in a place with many tourists.

The old shopkeeper was very fast, and after a while, a table full of wine and food was served, and it was almost a month at sea, so naturally he couldn't eat such exquisite wine and food, so Zhu Yong and Li Ba didn't care about what this dish tasted like, so they just ate and drank. After filling his stomach, Zhu Yong remembered that his followers were still guarding outside, so naturally he couldn't treat them badly.

The shopkeeper also prepared a table for them, and then slowly tasted the wine, but unfortunately he had long been accustomed to Tang Ming's distilled liquor, like this ordinary liquor tasted like boiled water in him. After two glasses, Zhu Yong put down the wine glass, and suddenly said to Ergou: "How much do you know about this Yue country?" ”

Ergou is a clever person, he has usually seen all kinds of people in this dock, and from Zhu Yong's tone alone, he can guess his true meaning. After thinking for a moment, Ergou suddenly got up and knelt directly at Zhu Yong's feet, and said with a serious face: "The villain is called Ergou here, and the ancestors have lived here for three generations, and the villain has been making a living at this dock for several years, which is a small snake." But if the two masters have anything to ask, just say, the villain will definitely know and not speak, and he will not say anything. It's just that before that, the villain hopes that the two masters can take me in to do some work in your fleet, and the villain here can't stay any longer! (To be continued.) )
