The battle ended quickly, and these big cannibal spy ships had two masts, one high and one short, one master and two hard sails, no matter how hard the slaves below the deck rowed, how could they outrun the Datang new sail warship with three big masts and nearly twenty sails.

The two spy ships were directly chased and run over by the two sail ships from behind, and the front one was approached by two medium ships from both sides, a round of eight-bull crossbow salvos, more than forty crossbow guns were nailed to the side of the big food ship, dozens of sailors quickly jumped to the big cannibal ship with ropes, and the crossbow opened the way, and the ship was quickly captured.

The three bearded cannibals wrapped in black turbans were brought to Xiao Qu's illness by the sailors, and they muttered a lot of words in their mouths, and the pirate Zi Hao on the side translated: "Lord Wang, this guy said that they were businessmen who came to Datang to do business, and asked us why we attacked them?" ”

"Ah, I can't speak Datang when I come to Datang to do business, so there's no way to communicate, drag it out to feed the sharks!" Xiao Quzhi smiled.

The three big cannibals immediately panicked, knelt on the deck and begged for mercy again and again in an authentic Chang'an accent: "His Royal Highness the King of Lanling spare your life, we didn't say that we can't speak the Tang Dynasty......"

"The information is very detailed, I know that I am the king of Lanling, and I dare to say that I am only here to do business! Say, how many ships have you ambushed in the strait? ”

The bearded man who took the lead rolled his eyes twice, and said with a confused expression: "What ambush?" I don't even know what you're talking about, we're really just here to do business. ”

Xiao Quzhi was immediately furious, and ordered his guards to tie his hands and feet, cut him twice on the thigh, and hung him on the side of the ship and half immersed himself in the sea. The smell of blood attracts sharks. Soon there was the sound of sharks jumping out of the sea from below the side of the boat. and inhuman screams.

"Aren't you two going to tell the truth?"

The remaining two Great Cannibals listened to the painful screams of their companions, their faces were a little pale, but they still maintained their basic composure, and one of them said, "We Great Cannibals have traveled thousands of miles to Datang and brought you the spices of the desert and the treasures of the West.

The road was rough, full of pirates, and the natives on the land were fierce and savage, only the Tang people were elegant. Kind and tolerant, Datang has an extremely open and tolerant mind, which is highly respected and liked by us.

But why did the Tang people, who have always been tolerant and kind, suddenly become so arrogant and unreasonable today? Without saying a word, they directly crushed our merchant ships, what is the reason? Isn't your Datang a self-proclaimed state of etiquette? ”

He said neither humble nor arrogant, his words were sincere, but the greed in his eyes could not be hidden, this ship was too perfect. It's so powerful!

The Great Cannibal is the wisest man in the world, as long as he grabs one and goes back. Hundreds of them can be made, and then the warships of the Great Food will be able to cover this ocean!

Xiao Quzhi smiled and said, "Because we are elegant, kind, and tolerant, so you are going to rob us?" Because we're a country of etiquette, you think I'm just scaring you? Because we are reasonable, you are not afraid of us at all?

Why should we Datang let you bandits respect, why do we want you to like it, what if you like us, what if you don't like it?

We don't care, we just need your love and respect, we want to be afraid, we want to be afraid! I just want you to know the fate of daring to rob our minds, and the fate of daring to lie in front of me! I'm afraid of you at one time, so that you won't dare to do this again in the future! ”

After Xiao Qu's illness was finished, he ordered his guards to cut off their ears and noses, and then prepared to let them go back to deliver a message to the gang of ambushed big food pirates, and make an appointment for a decisive battle, otherwise he would go to Spice Island.

At this moment, the two sailors who were searching the Great Food Scout ship below climbed up and looked very bad: "Lord, we found a slave locked to the oars and rocking oars under the deck. ”

"What's wrong?"

"There are three of us Tang people...... Also, in one of the cabins, two killed Tang women were found! ”

Li Qi went crazy with anger and kicked the two big cannibals in the stomach twice, and the two of them curled up in pain like shrimp. Li Qi gritted his teeth and said: "It must have been plundered in Guangzhou, when we were in Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Thorn History said that there were people missing not long ago, these big food robbers!" ”

"Bring the three Tang people up, and hang the bodies of the two Tang women."

Several sailors hesitated slightly, thinking that it was unlucky for the woman to get on the ship, even if it was two corpses, but they did not dare to disobey Xiao Quai's words, since the whaling, Xiao Qubing has proved his correctness countless times.

Xiao Quzhi also hated the root of his teeth in his heart, but he was not as angry as Li Qi, and he already knew about the evil deeds of these big cannibals when he was in the river.

On the one hand, they advertise that they are the most peaceful and truth-representative sect~religion, and Hu Da is the kindest and most benevolent; On the other hand, it uses the most brutal means to expand and conquer the outside world. Slaughtering the city, destroying other cultures, races ~ races ~ pressing ~ extermination, annihilation and plundering, robbery, and all kinds of evil.

Xiao Quzhi waited for the pain of the two to subside a little, lowered his body and squatted in front of the two of them and said, "The crime you have committed is not an exaggeration even if you have a thousand cuts. But I won't kill you now, you go back and tell them that from now on, this is the inland sea of our Tang Dynasty.

Since you are here, and you still do such evil things, and you dare to fight our idea, then don't think about going back, you all have to die! Of course, if you are interested, you will flee to Da Shi now, and Lao Tzu will not bother to chase you, get out! ”

Knowing that their lives were saved, the two of them suddenly became fearless, especially Xiao Qu's words, which were inconsistent, just after saying that they wanted to kill them all, and then said that if you ran away, you wouldn't chase them, obviously because you were weak and scared them.

One of them exclaimed: "Our Hu Da once said that he subdued the seas for us, so that the ships could sail under his orders, so that we could seek his favor, so that we could be grateful......

The whole ocean is ours, and all the ships of you Tang people are illegal! You demons have slain Huda's reign on the earth and sea, and the great, invincible caliph will surely send an invincible fleet to kill you all. Don't even think about living when the time comes! ”

"The great, invincible caliph?" Xiao Quzhi laughed loudly: "I really want to know." Who is your current caliphate?

Is Abu Abbasid dead? Now it is his brother Abu D'al-Al Abbas who is the caliph. Or did his uncle Abdullah do the caliphate?

I guess it must be his younger brother Jelfar, he is really invincible, he came all the way to Mulu with 45,000 elite soldiers, and then I was captured alive in the first battle, it is really great and invincible! ”

"It's you?!" The two big cannibals shouted hysterically, they had been doing business near Guangzhou, and they only knew that it was the king of Lanling who came to open up the South China Sea this time, but they didn't know that it was also Xiao Quai, who had defeated them in the river and Mulu.

"You demon. You will be stoned from heaven and you will be scorched in the fire! You will be punished most severely by Hu Da! ”

Li Qi and the soldiers and sailors on the ship looked at these two big cannibals who had become crazy very proudly, and everyone had heard of Xiao Quai's record of shooting down the city wall of Mulu with an arrow in the river, and some people still didn't believe it, and now seeing the two of them so out of shape, it must be true.

Li Qi asked, "Master, what did he mean by what he said earlier?" ”

Xiao Quzhi spread his hands and said, "Xiao Qi, if you have time, find a copy of their scriptures for someone to translate, and you will know what's going on."

Actually, I don't really understand it. But the general meaning is still known, in the eyes of these Hu Da believers. The sea was subdued by Hu Da for his believers, so only they were legitimate, and ships that did not believe in Hu Da were illegal. ”

Li Qi was simply shocked, he looked at the two great cannibals again, and the other great cannibal also became excited: "Hu Da has created everything on the earth for us who believe~Tao~, and all the property and heirs of those who don't ~believe~Tao~ cannot be kept in the slightest, and they will have to bear Hu Da's punishment, and these people are the fuel of hell."

Young man, are you ready to become the material of Hellfire? But there is no need to be afraid, as long as you are willing to take refuge in Huda, even if you have sins, you will be forgiven, and only by believing in Huda can you be saved, because Huda is indeed the Most Forgiving, and indeed the Most Merciful! ”

Xiao Quzhi explained: "I once heard these theories and Bo Xilin say that in the eyes of Hu Da's believers, the whole world, whether it is the earth or the sea, was created by Hu Da for his believers, and Hu Da's believer ~ Tao ~ is Hu Da's substitute ruler on the earth and the sea.

All the riches of the earth and the sea belong to them, and the un~believers~believers~ and the heretics~ are their slaves, and it is very reasonable and in accordance with their doctrine that they take away our property, and when they take it, they can kill us, because we are all materials of Hellfire. ”

Li Qi scolded: "Isn't this a robber theory? It's blacker than Maitreya teaching killing people to save people! ”

Xiao Quzhi sarcastically said: "But they say that they are the most peaceful, the most benevolent, and the kindest, because as long as you also believe in Hu Da, then you are also the ruler of the earth and the sea, and you can also legally rob other people's wealth and kill them, and after death you can enter the heavenly kingdom to enjoy, where there is a garden flowing with milk and honey......

At this time, three Tang people who had been captured as oars slaves were taken by the sailors with the captain's number, and the bodies of two Tang women were also brought to the deck.

The three Tang Dynasty men were all dirty and smelly, their faces were pale, their eyes were glazed, and one of the sailors said: "Lord Wang, they all cut off their tongues, and the two women were used by them as a tool to vent......"

At this moment, one of the Tang Dynasty men seemed to suddenly wake up, his eyes suddenly condensed, holding the body of one of the women and crying, his mouth whining.

Li Qi was so angry that he glared at the two big cannibals viciously, in his opinion, the two of them should be ashamed and guilty when they saw that they had done such a bad thing, but they didn't expect the two of them to have a reasonable attitude, and they didn't see a trace of guilt.

Li Qi was suddenly furious, kicked the two of them away two or three feet with one kick again, fell to the ground and wailed in pain, one of the bones was stiff, gritted his teeth and shouted to Xiao Quai: "You said you wouldn't kill us!" ”

Xiao Quzhi said expressionlessly: "I'm a bad person, and I don't need to be trustworthy, I changed my mind." Come, cut off their tongues, hang them by the wrists with ropes, hang them from the mast. I've read a book and heard that it takes three days and three nights to die with this method, and I wanted to see if it was true. ”

The two great cannibals did not know where the power came from, and suddenly they became insane, and it took great effort for the four sailors to subdue him. Before their tongues were cut out, the two of them were still cursing Xiao Quzhi and the others with the most vicious curses, and praising their Hu Da, saying that they would soon enter the garden of heaven and enjoy the heavenly beauty with the dark eyes of a virgin forever......

Li Qi was stunned, he couldn't understand why these people could justifiably do evil without feeling a trace of guilt, and in the face of the danger of death, they were not afraid at all, as if they were the judges, and we were the ones to be judged?

"Master, why is this happening?"

"This is the power of religion ~ religion and faith, in our opinion, they are doing evil and unrighteousness, but in their eyes, this is what they should take.

Just like Maitreya said that killing people is to save people, and the more people you kill, the more merit you have; The same is true of these people who believe in Huda, they believe that all those who do not believe in Huda are their slaves, that it is reasonable and doctrinal to rob these people of their wealth and kill each other, that they are doing things in accordance with Huda's teachings, and that they can enter the garden of heaven after death.

How can you possibly see a trace of repentance and guilt in such people? ”

Thinking of the madness and justification of Maitreya Sect before, Li Qi was suddenly clear, and at the same time shocked, no one would know that it was this small plug-in that directly caused the extinction and almost extinction of the Great Eclipse ten years later......

But what Xiao Qu thought about was that the power of faith was so strong, and these big cannibals were so fierce that they might even take the initiative to beg for death, in anticipation of entering the garden of heaven as soon as possible, and tomorrow's battle would definitely be difficult to fight.

At the same time, I thought about whether I should also come up with a complete belief system, but what should I believe? Is it belief in gods or belief in sages and martyrs?

More than half an hour later, more than a hundred Great Food Warships and the pirate ships united by them near the Singapore Strait in the later generations waited for the information brought back by the scout ship.

Although there was news that the Tang fleet was going to sail east to find the Spice Islands, the group of cannibals still wanted to fight an ambush with a fluke mentality.

But now, the scout ship has roughly explored the number of the Tang fleet, the performance of the ships and the tactics of the war, even if it can't continue to ambush, but a strong attack is not a good choice, although it will cost more, but compared to the gain, it is still worth it.

"Three large ships, twelve medium ships. There were also two large ships and five medium ships, which must have escorted hundreds of merchant ships waiting behind. It's better this way, as long as we win tomorrow's naval battle, these fifteen warships will be ours, and with these fifteen best warships, will the seven warships and hundreds of merchant ships still run away? A big cannibal with a red beard said confidently.

Another yellow-bearded cannibal stood up and said, "The king of Lanling is too much to see, although their ships are extremely strong, fast, and equipped with a large number of trebuchets and eight-oxen crossbows, but as long as we rush up in a swarm, approach quickly, and jump on their ships, we will win!" ”

"It's really exciting, this is the best, the most perfect warship, as long as we capture this fleet, we can really occupy this entire sea area, and the time to go back and forth will be greatly shortened." (To be continued.) )
