The crossing of the Yellow River.

"Patriarch, patriarch, something is wrong!" A Zheng soldier wearing black armor hurried down from the lookout, and without reporting it, he directly broke into the room where Zheng Changsheng and the others were discussing.

"Presumptuous, why are you so alarmed?" Zheng Changsheng said with a frown.

The soldier first said a sigh of relief, and then continued to report: "Patriarch, I found a strange ship at the mouth of the sea ahead, and it seems that their target is our fleet!" ”

"Boats? Do you see clearly, could it be someone from the imperial court? "Liu Tongzhan has already become a frightened bird, and any wind and grass may make them frightened.

"This ...... The small ones are not clear! The soldier shook his head and said.

"Go check, check it!" Zheng Changsheng stood up and said, "In addition, order the soldiers on the fleet to be ready for battle at any time!" As long as the other party has any abnormal movement, do it immediately! ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" The soldier answered, turned around, and walked out.

"Wait!" At this time, Wang Hao, who was sitting in the innermost, shouted to the soldier, turned his head to Zheng Changsheng and said, "Third brother, you must not do this!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zheng Changsheng hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Tongzhan was a little anxious, "If the other party is really a warship of the Tang Dynasty, is it possible that we will wait here for death?" ”

"You pig brains?"

Wang Hao squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Tongzhan, and said, "If the other party is a member of the imperial court and doesn't need to contact us, they will use that strange weapon to attack our ships." But if they are not from the imperial court, it would be a waste of time for us to do it with them! Perhaps, now those Datang troops are already chasing us. ”

"This ......" Liu Tongzhan paused for a moment, and it seemed that Wang Hao was thinking the same thing.

"But I didn't think it through!" Zheng Changsheng nodded when he heard Wang Hao's words, and said, "Okay, just do what Patriarch Wang wants!" As long as the other party doesn't do it. Let's not do it, but if the other party dares to do it to us, we don't have to be polite, and give me a hard fight back! ”

"Yes!"

……

The fleet of five surnamed Qiwang and the sailing ship of Shenwuwei finally met at the ferry. However, the two sides still maintained a certain distance, or rather, the fleet of five surnames and seven wangs unilaterally thought that the distance of sixty or seventy zhang was safe for them.

"Who are you? There is still an hour before the ban on the sea is lifted, don't you know that there is a rule that ships do not sail at night? ”

On the sailboat, Zhao Sanpao shouted in a rough voice, like a man patrolling the night.

Zheng House on the deck of the ship. Wang Hao and Zheng Changsheng narrowed their eyes, trying to look at each other by the dim moonlight.

"How? Listening to his words, it seems that he is not a member of the court! Zheng Changsheng said to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao frowned and said, "It's just such a sentence, the little brother can't hear it." But ......"

Halfway through the words, Wang Hao shouted at Zhao Sanpao opposite:

"We are merchants from Chang'an City, because we often trade with the Persians, and this time the transaction is in time. So I had to go to sea overnight! Who are you? Why did you go to sea tonight? ”

Li Yuanba, Wang Jun, and Li Su hid in the room closest to the deck outside the sailboat, and when he heard this voice, he immediately laughed and said, "Wang Jun." Do you remember that voice? ”

Wang Jun's face became ugly, his eyes were filled with a little hatred, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Even if he turns to ashes, I can hear his voice!" ”

"I really didn't expect that. The speed of the imperial brother is so fast, in just seven or eight days, the five surnames and seven wangs are embarrassed to such a point! ”

Li Yuanba laughed. continued: "Wang Jun, this time your chance has come! Wang Hao ruthlessly drove you out of the Wang family, and he wanted to harm you several times, this hatred is not big! ”

Wang Jun nodded with a gloomy face, and said: "Originally, I had already suppressed this matter in my heart, if I didn't see each other again in this life, I would let him go, but I didn't expect him to bump into him by himself, it's really providence, providence!" ”

"Okay, today this king will hand over Wang Hao's life to you!" Li Yuanba patted Wang Jun on the shoulder and said.

"Oh, what a coincidence! We are also from Chang'an, but we are all suitable for Silla and Goguryeo to do luxury goods trading. We heard that Goguryeo was in a state of war and that the imperial court had strengthened the blockade of Goguryeo, so we returned from Goguryeo at night so that we could complete the transaction in Chang'an City as soon as possible! ”

Li Sanduo has many more ghost ideas than Zhao Sanpao, so after Wang Hao's voice landed, Li Sanduo's eyes rolled and he shouted.

Wang Hao on the boat breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "That's the case, you go yours, we go ours, we have nothing to do with each other!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Sanpao responded at Li Yuanba's signal, and the sailboat quickly sailed in the direction of the Yellow River ferry.

Although they said to Zhao Sanpao that they should go their own way, Wang Hao and they were still not worried about the strange big ship opposite, seeing that the big ship was moving towards the direction of the Yellow River crossing, Zheng Changsheng hurriedly let the boats behind form a battle formation, and the people on several boats all looked at the sailboat vigilantly.

"Lord Wang, they seem to be suspicious?"

At this moment, Li Yuanba on the sailboat had already come to the deck, and Zhao Sanpao stood beside him, pointing to the fleet of five surnamed Qiwang who was getting closer and closer.

"If you don't doubt it, it's not five surnames and seven hopes!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "You go and order, let the brothers in Weizhong prepare the Shenwu cannon, let's say hello to them first!" Hehe, lest people with five surnames and seven hopes say that we are not polite! ”

"The last general understands!" Zhao Sanpao answered, beckoned a few brothers to come over, and went to give Li Yuanba's order.

……

When the distance between the two ships was only twenty zhang apart, the sailing ship to which Shenwuwei belonged finally showed its hideous fangs.

"Boom, boom!"

A violent roar rang out and spread throughout the Yellow River crossing.

The sailboat, which was carrying a full thirty divine cannons, only shook slightly, and then there was a crackling sound like the sky and the earth cracking.

One after another, the roar seemed to explode in everyone's ears, and on the four Shenxing ships and one building ship, in the continuous roar, clouds of white smoke and strong fire rose up, and the sound of sharp whistles instantly dispersed, blowing up the night sky.

The dark night was ignited, and at this moment, a bright red fire appeared on the surface of the distant sea.

It's dawn! (To be continued......)
