As far as the eye can see, the ship shape of the fleet coming from the south is similar to that of the Yangshan passenger boat, and from the shape of the hull to the distribution of the masts on the ship, it is as if carved out of a mold with a standard passenger boat. It's just that the first big ship is about twice as big as the passenger boat of 2,000 materials, but the five big ships behind are almost the same size as the passenger boat.

Seeing this, Li Jun was secretly frightened, and said to Wang Lun: "I heard that merchant ships are prohibited from passing here. It's a smuggler's, at most the size of two or three ships! Brother, we are in the waters of Dengzhou at this time, didn't we meet the Great Song Sailor? ”

Wang Lun also had such a premonition in his heart, and thought for a while, "Go and ask the hired leader to go to the deck to identify it!" ”

Li Jun didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and hurriedly went down to the cabin. Wang Lun ordered the sailors to change the direction of travel, to see if the other party was coming for his own fleet.

At this time, Wang Lun's flagship moved, and the other three ships in the fleet naturally followed suit. As soon as the Liangshan fleet changed direction, the six big ships also immediately adjusted their direction of travel and still rushed towards this side. Seeing this, Wang Lun suddenly understood, slapped his palm on the railing, and said to himself: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming!" ”

Jiao Tingjian said, suddenly changed color, and said: "Dare to beat my Liangshan idea, these guys are impatient!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and went down to the cabin. This fleet is equipped with a hundred divine arm bows transferred by Wang Lun, where is Jiao Ting willing to swallow this breath and go down to get a crossbow. Han Shizhong, who was standing next to him, glanced at Jiao Ting's back in the cabin, and his expression was very solemn.

Wang Lun didn't have a heavy face, if he really met the Great Song Sailor at this time, then the people on his four boats were only afraid that they would be more than lucky. When he returned from Jeju Island, he only brought with him a hundred of his own guards, plus six hundred boatmen, and his own family did not have the upper hand in terms of numbers or experience in naval warfare. I'm afraid that there is a danger of total annihilation.

While Wang Lun was meditating, Li Jun came up with a dark-skinned man in his fifties. ”

Li Jun hurriedly asked him what he meant, and the old leader almost cried, and said: "The 3,600 material ship headed by the leader is the first ship of the Dengzhou Naval Division!" The imperial court had issued a strict order that Denglai should not trade with the countries in the east and north, and if we let them catch it this time. Eating a lawsuit is the best outcome! I'm afraid that they will kill me and take the boat away! ”

"These guys are bold!" At this time, Jiao Ting had just come up from below, and when he heard what Lao Gang said, he was furious, and immediately raised the bow of the divine arm and said, "Let them eat my arrow first!" ”

Seeing this, the old leader couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "This king, what is the use of this bow and crossbow?" He had bed crossbows on his ship, separated by a dozen hulls. You can shoot it! Its arrows are as big as chisels, shooting people to death, shooting ships and ships to wear! ”

"Phew!" Jiao Ting spat at the mouth, just bent over and stretched his feet. Zhang crossbow on the arrow. Wang Lun waved his hand to stop Jiao Ting, and asked Lao Gangshou, "What does Old Man mean by what he just said?" ”

The old gang sighed and said, "Great King." You don't know the way, if we run private business, we are afraid of meeting Dengzhou sailors. These guys don't do things according to Guge. When encountering private merchants, they rushed to grab the ship and pick up the goods. The old ships were sold to the southeast, and the goods were left for themselves. It is because most of the private businessmen pay their goods secretly, and they have their taps in every trip, so these guys turn a blind eye, but for those who ignore them, they are never soft! ”

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier?" Li Jun asked.

Lao Gangshou smiled bitterly, peeked at Wang Lun, and whispered: "According to the identity of the kings, even if they dare to send it, they may not dare to accept ......it."

Seeing that he was angry, Han Shizhong slapped his leg and said, "The world is not ordinary black!" When I was in the west, there were also smugglers who brought goods from Western Xia, and after buying off the officers, they swaggered and fearlessly. If there were no 'filial piety' to the private traders of the border army, they would not know how to die! ”

"Is there a way to get rid of them?" Wang Lun thought about it and asked Lao Gang.

"Although everyone has an average ship type, when it comes to sailing and rudder, we are all newcomers on the ship, how can we compare to these sailors who have accumulated over the years? Let's ......"

Before Lao Gang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a person shouting, "Hide!" Before he could realize it, he was immediately knocked down, and suddenly fell into a slump, and when he regained consciousness, he only heard the buzzing sound of the eardrums.

At this moment a large arrow was nailed to the mast at the stern of the ship, but fortunately the mast was very strong, so it was not broken by it. But the arrow sank deep into the mast, and the tail still swayed. When I looked at Wang Lun and the others again, they had just gotten up and were half-squatting on the ground.

"Donkey day, dare to release dark arrows!" Han Shizhong scolded indignantly, just now he heard the sound of the bed crossbow, and subconsciously shouted a warning, telling everyone to escape. Li Jun and Lao Gangshou repeatedly fought at Han Shizhong, these two people were standing beside Han Shizhong, if he hadn't reacted quickly, these two people would have been afraid of their lives.

Wang Lun also squatted on the deck at this time, bowing his head slightly towards Jiao Ting, but Jiao Ting's face was not happy, and he said with palpitations: "If it wasn't for Han Shizhong just now, I almost fell into my brother!" ”

Wang Lun sighed a little in his heart when he saw this, among his few people, only Han Shizhong was born in the border army, he had seen the power of the bed crossbow, and he was also familiar with the sound of the bed crossbow, if it wasn't for him just now, he would have suffered a big loss this time!

I saw Wang Lun arching his hand towards Han Shizhong opposite: "Good minister, don't thank you for your great kindness, this matter has been recorded!" ”

"I, Han Shizhong, am also from Liangshan, what does my brother say about this? Have you forgotten that I am also a personal leader? After Han Shizhong finished speaking, he smiled and glanced at Jiao Ting, Jiao Ting didn't answer him, but said, "I said something today!" After thinking about it, he said: "In the future, if anyone in the cottage can't get along with you, just come to me!" ”

Han Shizhong smiled, looked at Jiao Ting and said, "In this way, then thank Brother Jiao!" ”

Jiao Ting snorted in response, and returned to a state of silence. Han Shizhong didn't care, bowed slightly, looked south, and then said: "The bow of the ship is narrow, and I can't put a few bed crossbows, I'm afraid that they will turn sideways to me and wait!" ”

Han Shizhong's every move reflects his current state of mind, and Wang Lun is happy when he sees that he has begun to consciously integrate into the cottage. It's just that at this time, he is not allowed to think about anything else, and immediately asks the frightened old gang: "You can't get rid of this guy like this!" What else does the elder have to say, but it doesn't hurt! ”

Lao Gangshou wiped the cold sweat on his head and hesitated for a while. Fang Cai swallowed and said: "They are just grabbing the ship and grabbing the goods, except for the food on our ship, there is nothing of value on our ship, if the king is willing to ......"

"No! There are still people in my cottage on Jeju Island, and these four boats are all the belongings of the cottage now! If there is no ship, will not the brothers and the people be trapped? Where was Li Jun willing to accept this result, he was angry for a while, and when he saw that the old gang was frightened by himself, he immediately squeezed out a smile and said to him, "Is there any other way for the old man?" ”

The old leader shook his head helplessly. He lowered his head and no longer looked at Li Jun.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood! As long as we are all here, are we afraid that there will be no boat? Han Shizhong pondered for a long time, and said to Wang Lun, who had never expressed his position.

If it was usual, Li Jun would definitely refute Han Shizhong when he heard this, but he was saved by this person just now, and his opinion on Han Shizhong in his heart had already been written off.

At this time, seeing that Han Shizhong agreed to abandon the ship, Li Jun did not say anything. It's just that the heart is like a knife. After all, Wang Lun personally handed over the ship to him, but at this time he had to abandon it all, and it was difficult for him to accept anything.

"The old leader and the good minister have a point! People are the most important thing, and we are in this predicament. The first thing to save is people! Wang Lun suddenly spoke. At this time, seeing that Li Jun wanted to say more, Wang Lun stopped him and said to Lao Gang: "If you follow the old man's intentions, how should you do it?" ”

That old gang saw Wang Lun for the first time, and he was not reckless at this critical moment. Instead, he asked himself for his opinion, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Let's go ashore in Dengzhou nearby." The boat is deliberately stranded, let's all swim ashore! They don't know the identity of the king, and they are greedy for money, so they must save the ship first, so we can take advantage of the chaos to go ashore! ”

When Wang Lun heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then clapped his hand and said: "Just do it, and ask the old leader to bother more!" "At this time, there is no one in this fleet who does not know how to water. It's his own 100 personal guards, because he wants to go to sea, all of them are selected to know the water. As for the boatmen, they were all drawn directly from the navy. In addition, those hired sailors have been adrift at sea for many years, saying that they can't water, but I'm afraid that no one will believe it.

The old leader did not shirk at this time, nodded in response, this time his life has long been closely linked with the people of Liangshan, and he can have a good end in the hands of Dengzhou Sailors? Immediately bowed down to the deck and went to look for someone.

Wang Lun pulled Li Jun, who was crying blood in his heart, and said: "At this time, the situation is urgent, I can't help but you and me!" This time, they are strong on the water, so they let him go! It's just that in the future, I'm afraid that they won't go ashore? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Lun's tone changed, and he said: "These guys are between my Shuibo and Jeju Island, and sooner or later they will be a scourge!" We can't just let them run rampant like that! ”

Li Jun heard that Wang Lun's words were a little interesting, and his face was much better, only to see him caressing the deck under his feet very lovingly, and sighed: "This guy must know how to cherish it!" ”

Seeing that Li Jun loved the passenger boat under his feet from the bottom of his heart, Wang Lun persuaded: "Don't worry, brother, I am here to say a word, the nickname of the mixed sea dragon of you is not in vain!" ”

As soon as Wang Lun's words fell, suddenly the Dengzhou sailor began to release arrows again, probably sensing the other party's intention to escape. Seeing this, Wang Lun shouted and told the sailors on the deck to pay attention to dodge. At this time, Jiao Ting was so angry that his teeth were itching, and it was the first time he had encountered a battle like this, and he unconsciously clenched his hands into fists and said: "Wait on the ground for the master!" ”

In this tense atmosphere, the fleet turned around and drove forward for about half an hour, and finally the outline of the land could be seen. I saw that Wang Lun's flagship collided with the offshore sea regardless of it, and he was not afraid of the danger of running aground. The other three passenger boats were all headed by the flagship, followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the Dengzhou sailors who were chasing after the Liangshan fleet did not release any more arrows, thinking that the four passenger boats in front of them were already in the bag, and it was not worth it to break them again.

The huge impact came as scheduled, but fortunately, everyone on the ship was already prepared and clung to the fixations around them. After the initial shock, everyone went to the deck, climbed down from the rope of the hull in a very orderly manner, the originally hired sailors were still a little flustered, after seeing that Wang Lun and several kings were left in the most stubborn position, Liang Shan was orderly again, they settled down a little, joined the team and went down.

Wang Lun saw on the deck that the pursuing ships were all out of sail, and he didn't dare to approach very closely, Wang Lun had a bottom in his heart, and then glanced at the passenger boat under his feet, and a complicated emotion surged in his heart.

He now fully understood what it was like to have a captain give the order to abandon ship.

"Brother, don't let this bird get wet!" Wang Lun carried a birdcage, which was the only pigeon that Qu San had with him, and handed it to Wang Lun before the fleet went to sea, saying that it was for emergencies. At this time, Wang Lun handed it over to Li Jun, who was the best in the leader, and Li Jun squeezed out a smile on his face that was more astringent than crying, and nodded: "Brother, don't worry!" The little brother is the bird's boat! An unsinkable ship! ”

Wang Lun sighed with emotion, patted Li Jun on the shoulder, and urged everyone to get off the boat. Fortunately, because of the space on the ship this time, he and his guards did not bring horses, otherwise they would have asked these people to resell if they didn't say well.

After everyone had swam ashore with great difficulty, the Dengzhou sailors did not chase after them, and at this time they were in a hurry to receive their spoils, where did they have time to pay attention to these "private businessmen", maybe in their hearts, they also counted on this group of people to go to sea again, so that they could send themselves a rich seizure in the future.

Wang Lun, who was wet, didn't care about tidying up his outfits, so he called Han Shizhong to assemble the team, waved his hand and called the two guards, and ordered: "Bring a hundred taels of silver on your body, buy a body, and then buy a good horse to rush back to the cottage to report the news!" If when you go back, Xiao Junshi is in the cottage, ask him to send four battalions of horse troops to Dengzhou Dengyun Mountain to rendezvous. If Xiao Junshi has not returned, I will ask Lin Jiaotou, Teacher Xu, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng to bring me over with personal guards, or go to the Zou uncle and nephew to meet! ”

The two of them took the order. Wang Lun did not stop, and when Han Shizhong finished gathering, he led the people to the inland.

Everyone walked for a long time, hungry, looking for a market, Wang Lun asked everyone to go to each hotel to eat in batches, he looked for the store to come to the inkstone, and wrote on a piece of silk cloth: "Xiao is here, leading the four horse camps to Dengyun Mountain, Xiao is not here, Lin, Xu, Lu, Guo Ling headquarters come here to meet." Len pen. ”

After the ink dried, Wang Lun rolled the silk cloth into a ball, asked Li Jun to take the bird cage, took out the white pigeon from it, tied the silk cloth that had just been written on the bird's legs, and sent it into the air with force, saying: "Ruyizi, don't mistake me!" (To be continued......)
