In this era, there are many adventurers who have their eyes on the vast sea, and it is definitely not only the Great Song Dynasty that expands ocean trade, and Zhang Kuangzheng is not the only one who takes the sea as his life goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The steam engine had not yet been invented, and the pioneers sailed their wooden boats along the coastline, surprising with every new port discovery. Zhang Kuangzheng's westward journey not only expanded the market for the Great Song Dynasty, but also provided those Western adventurers with a trip to the east.

Just as the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty had just docked at Xilan, five ships from the far west also docked at the same pier.

They greeted the people on the shore very friendly, and the people of Xilan and the men on the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty were also very surprised by the arrival of these people.

The residents surrounded these guys who didn't speak their language, and they couldn't stop talking anything, but neither side could clearly express their intentions to each other because they didn't understand each other's language. The people of Shilan surrounded these strange-looking creatures in a friendly manner, and they did not understand why such thick hairs could grow on people's chests, why their hair could be yellow, and why their eyes could be white.

"Hey, Celtic, I feel like I'm a circus monkey!"

"Hell, is there anyone in this place who speaks French? I was fluent in French, German and Italian, but I found that I was missing one thing, and that was the language of the natives! ”

Celt was obviously no better off than his companions, and his eyes looked ahead: "Do you see the big ship ahead?" It seems to be the same flag as the ship we saw in Aden, lean over there, I think they will help us! ”

The young Gilray was going to sea for the first time, he was very delicate, surrounded by a circle of little orchid girls, the exotic style made Gilry's heart itch: "Don't be like this captain, I think they are very enthusiastic, I like them!" ”

However, the captain of the Song Dynasty merchant ship in front of him had already seen the plight of these people, and immediately said to the envoy of the Xilan Kingdom: "My lord, I think these people may be guests from afar, and it is obviously a bit rude for you to treat them like this. ”

The envoy has not learned anything else in the Great Song Dynasty for so long, and the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty has learned a lot, and he also uses the standards of the Great Song Dynasty to measure himself.

"Alright, I'll go and let the troops help them now."

The current army of the Xilan Kingdom is only more than 100 people, because the Three Buddhas and the Asan have negotiated together to hand over the Xilan to the Great Song Dynasty as a buffer zone between the two sides, in the hope of achieving permanent peace. Now that the army of Srivijaya has been withdrawn, the Song Dynasty never intended to garrison here.

Anyway, the Asan will not come, and this elite army of 100 people is enough to maintain local law and order. At this time, the fine orchid was not as populous as Sri Lanka, and it was hundreds of miles away, and it was basically some primitive small tribes.

Dozens of soldiers dispersed the crowd, and the two hundred or so people around Celtic breathed a sigh of relief.

A local official immediately came over and greeted the Song people on the Song fleet, and then an envoy came to question them.

The two sides did not understand the language, and they communicated with gestures for a long time, and they could not understand the meaning of the other party.

Finally, the hospitable official decided to come back tomorrow to talk to the men, and gestured to a nearby house, then folded his hands over his head and made a sleeping motion.

Celtic understood this action, and the other party was arranging for himself to rest, and he nodded busily at the moment.

The State of Xilan escorted these guests from afar into their post station, entertained them with their best food and drink, and arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to guard them in order to ensure that the guests would not be disturbed again.

Jiri followed Celtic's side: "Captain, the girls here are really nice, do you see their waists?" That's something we can't compare to the girls there. ”

Celt suddenly lowered his voice: "You just notice the women's waists, you look at their necks!" ”

"Neck? What's wrong with the neck? ”

Celtic's eyes lit up: "They have a diamond around their neck!" You see, any diamond is worth more than the jewel on the head of the nobles of our Frankish kingdom! ”

After Celtic said this, the people around him saw that this was indeed the case, and they all looked extremely excited: "Captain, what should we do then?" Robbing? ”

Western adventurers are different from Eastern adventurers, and Eastern adventurers such as Zhang Kuangzheng go to sea very well, relying on communication with the locals to obtain the supplies they need. But these Western adventurers are different, at best they are adventurers, but in reality, they are pirates.

Celtic shook his head: "No, we are not very familiar with the situation here, let's go back and investigate, and then decide what to do." ”

These Western pirates were discussing these things around a dozen soldiers of the Xilan Kingdom, but the soldiers of the Xilan Kingdom did not understand it at all. They didn't know that this group of people was actually a group of jackals, and the embarrassment just now was entirely because they didn't know the details of the fine orchid.

The soldiers of the State of Shilan did not confiscate the weapons of these jackals, nor did they even restrict their personal freedom.

In just half a day, Celtic completely figured out the situation in this country. There were a dozen people gathered in the small room, and Celtic's gaze swept over each of them: "Guys, this time we're going to make a fortune, do you know what's on this land we've come to?" There are diamonds! There is wealth that we cannot imagine! ”

More than a dozen pairs of eyes emitted a strange light, and Celtic's face was full of passion: "The most surprising thing is that there is no army here!" There are only more than 100 people outside, God knows how these people are guarding such an expensive wealth, but now, it is about to belong to us! ”

Jiri asked, "Captain, how much can each of us share?" Can I get 10 5-carat diamonds? ”

Celtic stared at him: "You can have countless diamonds, my Duke Giray, and the Duke of Marr, the Duke of Santrick, and all of you, and me, the Duke of Celtic!" I'm not wrong guys, we're all going to be richer than dukes. ”

"Oh!"

The whole room was suddenly filled with cheers, and Celtic hurriedly said: "Okay, quiet, quiet, let me tell you how to make yourself a duke, first pick up your knives, and then listen to my command, remember, you must listen to my command." ”

Santrick thought for a moment: "Captain, what about the ship outside?" They seem to be from some kind of Great Song Dynasty. ”

Celtic looked fierce: "To hell, I don't know what the Great Song is, I just know that we need time to dig up all the diamonds here, maybe a year, ten years, or a hundred years, so we rule here!" Kill those people. ”

The king of Xilan is holding a banquet to entertain the captain of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is placed in the past, the captain will inevitably have a feeling of flattery, but in recent years, the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty can be treated everywhere, not to mention this small country, even if it is bigger, the king will personally set up a banquet to discuss business with the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

After three rounds of drinking, the prince of the Xilan Kingdom stood up: "Father, please allow the child to personally lead our warriors to help the Celestial Empire fight." ”

King Xilan hesitated: "It's okay, you go to the Great Song Dynasty to see the world, learn some things and come back to govern our Xilan." The Great Song Dynasty is a very large country, much larger than the Three Buddhas. I heard that the Great Song Dynasty gives the Three Buddhas a few thousand taels of gold every year, you go to find your sister, we don't want gold, that thing is useless, let the Song Dynasty send us some cloth and grain every year. ”

The prince replied: "Yes, father, is the letter of state that the Song Dynasty asked you to send was also brought by the sons?" ”

The king nodded: "Take it with you, as long as the emperor of the Song Dynasty nods, no one will come to bully us in the future." How are the Warriors preparing? ”

The minister next to him said, "Your Majesty, twenty warriors are ready, and you can set off tomorrow." ”

The king was very happy: "Okay, tell them that when we go to the Great Song Dynasty, we must fight well, and we can't let other armies compare with us." ”

The prince clenched his fists: "Yes, the child knows." ”

As he spoke, suddenly there was a clashing of weapons outside, and then a scream reached the king's ears.

The king's face changed drastically: "What? Isn't that Peng Dan calling again? ”

The prince drew the knife from his waist: "Father, I'll go and give them a little bit of a good taste." ”

The merchants of the Song Dynasty have traveled south and north for many years, and they are used to seeing strong winds and waves.

As soon as the prince went out, he was stabbed by a cold light, he subconsciously dodged to the side, and a bloody cut was stabbed in his face.

Several guards in front of the palace hurriedly stepped forward, but the dozens of people brought by Celt were all outlaws, and they were very ruthless, and all the elites of the fine blue country were killed in an instant.

The bloody scene made the prince forget to resist, where the whole person stood stupidly, when Celtic stabbed him with a sword, he didn't know how to dodge, and he was about to be pierced in the heart, the Song Dynasty businessman's fierce figure rose up, kicked over the table, and roared and pounced on the Celtic.

Before doing business, he ran the rivers and lakes.

Celtic was caught off guard by the table, the whole person took a few steps back, the merchant rushed up to want a thief to capture the king first, but he didn't expect that the sword of the Westerner and the swordsmanship of Middle-earth were not all the way, obviously looking at the opponent's weapon could not hurt him, but the Celtic wrist shook, the sword actually trembled and changed direction, and pierced the merchant's shoulder.

This time he had lost his whole arm, and the merchant was so frightened that he no longer dared to fight, nor did he care about the king of Shilan, and his whole body turned and rushed out of the gate, and when he was leaving, he pulled the prince out with his hand.
