Chapter 22 Preparing to go to sea
"Why did I talk about the weird pirates as soon as I met you, if I remember correctly, the last time you found me in the mansion, you were talking about it!"
Lu Ze said to Zhang Gaidu.
"Ahem, that, I'm just curious!"
"Also, you Zhang Yu of the Zhang family don't have such curiosity, that is to say, you are the only one in the Zhang family who is curious about this matter, you don't have any intentions, right?"
"Several Zhang family members who came with me have also investigated this matter, but I'm not the only one who is curious."
"Oh? I misunderstood Messenger Zhang, I don't know what Messenger Zhang investigated, please advise, I'm listening to Lu Ze's ears! ”
"Those evil spirits are able to cast spells and take possession of the bodies of the sleepy while people are asleep, and I heard that evil spirits are not only afraid of seeing and hearing such things."
Lu Ze was secretly surprised in his heart, so many people in their Lu family didn't know yet, how could this Zhang Gaidun already know it alone.
"Oh, and the messenger knows what they're afraid of?"
"I'm still investigating?"
"Think about it again, Comrade Zhang Gaidu, this matter is related to the survival of our human race!"
"Anyway, I'm full, let's get in touch again! No comment at this time. ”
"You know, don't you, or how would you know they're evil spirits?"
"It's a ferocious evil spirit, which is written in the latest newspapers. I'm not going to bother you guys about business, goodbye. ”
Zhang Gai said that he had paid the money and flashed people.
Not long after Zhang Gai walked out, a few warriors came up to him, looking at the steady pace, the strength of these warriors should not be weak.
"Zhang Gaidu, where have you been recently, what are you busy with, I can't find you! City Lord Zhang won't tell you what to do, right? ”
It turned out that these warriors were Zhang Yu's people, and one of them had reached the level of a hundred battles, so he asked Zhang Gaidu.
"No, a few big brothers, my lord, I heard that Lu Ze is going to deal with the weird pirates, and when he makes a move, it will be safer for a few of us to go back to the water whale land."
"Well, you're pretty smart, you can consider this solution! It's just that Lu Ze has already occupied Yenan Island, and there is no important news on this island for the time being. ”
The leading big brother said.
It can be seen that these people should be people in the Zhang family's investigation organization, equivalent to secret agents and scouts.
"Now that the evil spirits are getting bigger and bigger, it is difficult to resist, so let's take precautions?"
"Okay, Zhang Gaidu, you continue to investigate, as soon as the time comes, I will naturally contact you, and once there is major news, immediately wait for me at the old place."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Gai arched his hand. It seems that these people are ready to be the shopkeepers. Zhang Gai had already guessed in his heart.
Of course, it is easy to teach these weak people a lesson, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves. With Zhang Yu and Lu Ze, it is still very good for himself.
For example......
It will also be much easier to find a human body.
Zhang Gai thought to himself.
……
After the food in the restaurant came up, Lu Ze and the five of them chatted and finished eating, and read the latest news newspapers.
"I can't imagine that the evil spirit clan is so arrogant, it has aroused the alarm of the world government, and the power of the evil spirit is still growing, and the number is also increasing."
Lu Ze said.
"Where did these evil spirits come from, do they want to sweep the entire Demon Continent?"
Yuanxi said.
"Who knows, we will only know if we continue to investigate."
Huang Hao said.
"Young Master, the number of evil spirits near our Yenan Island has been increasing since a few years ago, and in the near future, it will be difficult for Ah Rong to come and go to the sea area of the Water Whale Land."
Seya says:
"It's just ......, could Zhang Gaidun want to use us to attack the Evil Spirit Pirates?"
"Zhang Gaidu, he wants to say that he has good intentions, so what can we say about him?"
鲁泽 says:
"From today onwards, you will train a lot, and you will also send someone to listen to the news of Zhang Gaidu, if he investigates an effective method, I will take a few hundred battle masters to go in person, we can't delay the affairs of the evil spirit clan any longer, and the brothers' injuries should be about to recover."
"But will Zhang Gaidun hide the news?"
Thea said.
"He hides the message? In my opinion, in fact, he is even more anxious than we are, if we don't tell us the news of the evil spirit, we will not move, and the soldiers will stop it! ”
鲁泽 says:
"I believe that Zhang Gaidu's news will not be slower than the world government, nor less than the world government, and the reason why the news has not been fully revealed is probably because he doesn't want to show too much edge and arouse suspicion!"
"Okay, young master, I'll recruit it, but who is this stunned? Does the young master know what his identity is? ”
Huang Hao asked.
"Huh? You should take my guess about him! ”
Lu Ze replied.
Not long after, Lu Ze and a few others went back after eating a full meal.
Then, Ah Rong took Nohara's little sister back to the whale land.
Time flies, time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
Lu Ze, Huang Hao and others still continue to recuperate, and often train in the martial arts training ground.
At this time, the brothers of the Lu Ze Pirates were already healed.
With the help of a few businessmen and weak scholars, the plan to expand Yenan Island has also been on the right track, and a small iron mine has been found next to the cottage of the leader of the wild plain.
Yenan Island is gradually turning from a mountain village into a town, and the whole Yenan Island is gradually entering the industrial age.
There is also good news, that is, Huang Hao's strength has been raised to the level of a high-level martial artist sweeping thousands of armies.
Huang Hao has become a group attack type warrior, with amazing eyesight and lethality, faster attack speed, and 100 shots, no matter whether he fights alone or in a group.
There is also a couple of bad news.
The first one was said from the leader of the wild plain and Ren Yang in the cell.
The leader of Nohara and Ren Yang emphasized in a chat with Lu Ze:
"There is no transcendence of the level of high-level martial artists, don't set off alone, the northeast of Yenan Island is very dangerous, and the most terrifying thing is that there is a certain chance of encountering martial artists and pirates from the Southern Continent. No one can predict what kind of danger will occur at that time. Even Sun Lukang of the Southwest Continent didn't dare to reach that place easily. ”
Then the second piece of bad news ensues.
Since it is not easy to go to sea, the real entry of Yenan Island into the industrial age can only be regarded as empty talk.
If Yenan Island is complacent and unable to connect with the outside world, there will be no foreign investment and no flow. Can the souvenirs and items of Yenan Island be sold only to Yenan Island itself?
There are some things that can really make people think of a big head.
But the third bad news is that Zhang Gaidun has not yet arrived, and I heard that he has gone to sea to deal with some things.
As long as Zhang Gai faints, Lu Ze is confident that he will have a way to deal with these several interrelated and mutually restrained bad news.
In a hurry, now the Lu Ze Pirates can only continue to recuperate, develop and train, as long as Yenan Island continues to be stable, I believe that one day it can come in handy, and the financial pressure on Lu Wei's side can also be alleviated, or even greatly improved.
"Young master, young master. Finally found it, Zhang Gaidui is coming in our direction! ”
At this time, Fena ran into the martial arts training ground and shouted.
"Okay, I know, I'll talk about it when he arrives, you're busy with you."
"Then I'm busy."
"Young master, Jian Na usually has a non-distempered attitude, but he is still quite concerned about the affairs of evil spirits."
"Originally, he had an enmity with evil spirits."
It didn't take long. Outside the gate, there was a faint cry from Zhang Gai.
"Let me in, there's something big going on. What about you Young Master Lu? ”
Watching Zhang Gaidu, he is usually quite calm! This time I seem to be in a bit of a hurry.
"Then I'll report it!"
A doorman at the door said as he walked inside.
Not long after, Lu Ze and Huang Hao came out.
"Looking at the messenger's appearance, I'm a little busy! What do you have for advice? Please! ”
"Why is Young Master Lu so troublesome, and what kind of tea do you want to drink in the hall?"
"Messenger Zhang, please say something! Sit on a stone bench here. ”
In fact, Lu Ze was also a little anxious. Sit down directly on the stone tables and stone chairs in the courtyard.
"Those Evil Spirits ......"
Zhang Gaiduan was about to speak, but suddenly stopped again to calm his anger:
Lu Ze and Huang Hao glanced at each other, and the two had already guessed that Zhang Gaiduan was still inseparable from these two words.
"Ahem, those evil spirits have been quite rampant recently, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, and there are a few evil spirits that have swallowed people, and they have already swallowed a few humans."
Lu Ze stood up and said:
"As a warrior, as a human race, I will not sit idly by and watch this matter. What tricks does Messenger Zhang have? ”
"Young Master Lu, you are ambitious."
Zhang Gaidun said. learned from the mouth of the Zhang family that Lu Ze's style had long been known.
"Then let me ask you a question, do you have any other choice than being strong?"
Lu Ze looked at Zhang Gai with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
Lu Ze's words really touched Zhang Gaidu's sore spot, as an alien race, there are many difficulties, if it weren't for Zhang Gaidu's strength, he would have died a long time ago, for this, Zhang Gaiduan has a deep understanding.
Both of them are here to survive and to preserve themselves.
Zhang Gaidimi suddenly changed the topic:
"This battle is nine deaths, you win and become famous, you gain a lot, you lose, you will never recover, and you will even ......"
"What even?"
Lu Ze asked.
Of course, it will be fully utilized by Zhang Gaidu, Zhang Gaidun is an alien race, and it is impossible to waste Lu Ze's good body and qualifications casually. It's just that Zhang Gaidun didn't say this sentence.
"Now let's talk about how to deal with evil spirits! This is a plan I recently came up with based on the characteristics of evil spirits. First, you can only attack with a hundred masters; Second, you can only use sticks and the like, not swords. ”
"Rub, what's the use of you saying this, tell what you know, don't always pretend not to know, do you think I haven't read the recent news?"
Lu Ze slapped the table and shouted, it seems that this one is pretending to be garlic again.
"I'll help you then, Young Master Lu, don't worry!"
"Well, then I'll trust you one last time!"
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Zhang Gaiduan was already in a bad mood, and suddenly shouted when he took the case.
Chapter VI
"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you."
Lu Ze and Zhang Gaiduan punched each other.
Chapter VI
only heard a "bang", and Lu Ze was so shocked that he took several steps back before stopping.
Chapter VI
Zhang Gai didn't want to expose his hole cards, so he thought about it and said:
"Hmph, I'll be near Thea's hotel in the next few days, please let me know when I'm going to fight."
"No."
"Young master, I didn't expect Messenger Zhang to be so powerful."
Huang Hao said.
"That's what I expected."
Lu Ze didn't think it was strange at all.
Another three days passed.
Lu Ze was finally ready to go to sea to attack the evil spirits, and he also transferred Suo Ying to guard Yenan Island.
Lu Ze brought Huang Hao, Yuan Xi and a total of five hundred battle masters, and there were more than 100 warriors behind him.
Don't look at the fact that there are only more than a hundred, these more than 100 junior martial artists are already the sum of all the elites of Yenan Island, including the new members of Yenan Island and Renyang Pirates.
Seya didn't like to fight by force, so she had to let him stay with Suo Ying and five other hundred battle masters to guard Yenan Island.
Lu Ze and a group of more than 100 people came to the location of the Renyang pirate ship in the northeast of Yenan Island.
Lu Ze faced the sea, and watched with a solemn expression as the flag of the Ren Yang Pirate Group on the ship fluttered in the wind, and more than a dozen advanced pirate ships were neatly lined up on the shore.
Lu Ze bowed to Ren Yang's pirate flag.
When everyone saw Lu Ze's behavior, although they were a little ignorant, they also bowed forward with Lu Ze.
Jian Na took a few steps and said to Lu Ze:
"Young master, I believe that the Lu Ze Pirates are also worthy of respect, you're welcome, change the flag of the Lu Ze Pirates!"
"Thank you very much!"
After Lu Ze finished speaking, Huang Hao waved his hand, and several warriors got on the boat and replaced all the flags with the flags of Lu Ze's pirates.
"Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu!"
Zhang Gaidun ran out of the island and shouted.
"We let you know earlier, you're late."
Lu Ze said to Zhang Gaidu.
"Don't look at this as an island, it's at least half the size of a water whale, and my horse got tired halfway through, so I came a little late."
"Let's get on the boat and rest with everyone, see if you're tired."
"But you're bringing too many people, aren't you?"
"These brothers are all junior martial artists, don't worry too much!"
"It's okay, Young Master Lu, so that we don't have to be afraid of crowd tactics."
"yes, let's get on board too!"
鲁泽 says:
"Huang Hao and Zhang Gai and I got on the No. 1 boat; Yuanxi, Jianna, you three get on the second ship! We only drove two ships to the sea, with more than 60 people on each boat, Huang Hao and Yuan Xi arranged it! ”
"Yes, young master."
After the arrangements were made, under the command of several warriors who were familiar with naval warfare, Lu Ze's two pirate ships slowly sailed to the northeast.
Until the next morning, it was cloudy and breezy.
The Lu Ze Pirates finally discovered five evil spirit pirate ships.
Lu Ze decided to follow it because his two ships were not discovered by the evil spirits in front of him.
It's a pity that I lost it two hours later.
In order not to deviate from the direction of the target, the Lu Ze Pirates continued to go straight, gradually entering a strange sea area.
The Lu Ze Pirates encountered a great enemy at this time.
The sea here is foggy, the seagulls are full of seagulls, and there are flocks of icebergs here.
On the lookout of the No. 1 ship, a warrior with a telescope shouted:
"Young master, there seems to be movement ahead! Not good, enemy attack ......"
"Hahaha, I just found out now, it's late!"
It was a man in his thirties who spoke, with his head held high and his clothes smelling of exoticism. Ruhl exclaimed unruly:
"When you enter my sea, you are fish on the chopping board, how about it, it's not good to fall into my trap!"
Lu Ze walked out of the house, only to see that behind the foggy icebergs around, the seagulls flew away, and one pirate ship after another drove out, gradually surrounding his two ships.
"Give it to me."
Due to the blurred vision and the inability to look far away, the middle-aged man gave an order, and hand-to-hand combat was about to break out.
The Ruer Pirates howled and approached the Lu Ze Pirates, jumped up, and swarmed in.
"Ahh Ah......h
"Poof!" Huang Haoqiang resisted the urge to laugh.
Not to mention Huang Hao, even Zhang Gaiyun and Lu Ze were about to hold back their laughter.
"Oh, I can't stand it! Hahahaha...... "Yuan Xi of the second ship couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Alright, let's do it beforehand!"
Lu Ze said.
"Okay."
Hearing a burst of pig-like screams, Ruer was stabbed out of two bloody holes by two copper rods, and then fell to the ground by Lu Ze's wooden stick, and then exploded into a black man by a cannonball thrown by Yuan Xi.
"Ahh Yes! Help me! ”
Ruhl crawled back into the boat with a look of surprise on his stomach:
"The idea is piercing, and the wind is blowing."
"Up."
Huang Hao and Yuan Xi shouted.
One by one, the Lu Ze Pirates quickly snatched Ruhl's two ships like tigers out of the gate.
"Ruer, you can't even beat me, and you still want to rob our young master, when did you become so blind?"
Blade shouted.
"Jian Na, I'm sorry, Young Master Lu spares his life, let's leave immediately, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Ruhl shouted an apology and hurriedly ordered the boat to flee.
"I can't imagine that Ruhr is also a hegemon, how did it become like this? Except for his own strength, the rest are soft-footed shrimp. ”
Thana muttered to herself.
"Maybe we've become stronger, maybe because of the invasion of evil spirits that have affected his power!"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said:
"Seriously, I was shocked at first, but now it's a joke!"
"Let's clean up, let's continue to set off, no need to make any extraneous branches, we still have to fight against the evil spirit pirates."
Lu Ze looked at all the staff, and none of them were seriously injured.
It seems that everyone's training for more than half a month is still effective.
Not long after, everyone brought the contents of the two Ruhr ships and continued the voyage.
Lu Ze is sailing here, but there is an accident on Yenan Island.
Several groups of pirates and evil spirit pirates near Yenan Island didn't know if they heard any rumors, and they actually attacked the Luze pirates on Yenan Island one after another the next day.
Because they were attacking in batches one after another, those pirate groups did not unite well and belonged to a rabble.
Seya commanded well, and once again transferred more than a hundred warriors from outside the island, it seems that Ren Yang and Suo Ying's original forces were far more than just one or two islands.
Suo Ying led several other hundred battle masters and warriors to concentrate their forces to defeat each one.
With the heroic struggle of Suo Ying and others and the support of the water whale land, they finally defended the island well.
The losses of the Lu Ze Pirates on Yenan Island were not too large, and they also obtained some ships, strong branches, butans, cannons, shells and other materials.
It's just that Ren Yang, Luo Du and the sixth brother took advantage of the chaos to escape from Yenan Island.
Suo Ying was anxious, but there was no way.
But Seya didn't seem to know something, and wasn't surprised.
On Lu Ze's side, it had only been more than half an hour since he set sail, and ten naval ships appeared in front of him and gradually surrounded him.
Don't look at the fact that there are only ten, but the warriors on these ten ships are not simple, hundreds of people are all masters above the tenth level, and there are two masters at the hundred battle level. Without saying anything, Lu Ze ordered everyone to turn around and run, and retreat at full speed, so that they were not bombarded by the navy's shells, and once again hid in the waters of the Ruhr.
In the waters here, it is also very difficult for the navy to discover the Lu Ze Pirates.
"Okay, let's rest here for a while, and we'll come here when we go."
Lu Ze was going to take a few hundred battle masters and Zhang Gai to get rid of the two naval leaders in order to prevent future troubles.
"Young Master, I know what you think, I don't want to sacrifice and entangle with the navy senselessly, but I think there is another way!"
Huang Hao said to Lu Ze.
"Huang Hao, tell me about it!"
"I think that the leader of the navy seems to be from the water whale land, and at this critical moment, the navy has sent back all the warriors who have just started, and many navy will go to kill evil spirits, and they don't necessarily pay attention to us. As long as we are going to kill evil spirits, they may leave. ”
"Young master, I've met that leader a few times."
Nearby Yuanxi said loudly.
"Okay, Yuanxi, you and Huang Hao go to dissuade."
Lu Ze promised Yuan Xi and said to Huang Hao:
"If they don't agree, I'll get those two guys done."
After discussion, Huang Hao and Yuan Xi drove a speedboat to the front of the navy to talk.
Lu Ze took out a wooden stick and used the technique of crossing the river with a light breeze and a reed to an iceberg outside, and looked at Huang Hao and Yuan Xi from afar.
"Who are you two and what's the matter?"
"Brother Fu, do you still know me? We're fellow villagers! ”
Yuanxi said.
"Oh, you're the Yuanxi of the Lu family!"
"Our young master Lu Ze, he is going to kill evil spirits, can you let us go?"
Huang Hao said.
"Okay, the current navy will not blindly chase and kill pirates, some will support pirates to join the naval battle, and some even make friends with pirates to attack the evil spirit clan."
frustrated brother says:
"Go back and tell Lu Ze, I hope he can become one of the Seven Martial Seas, I'm optimistic about him! We still have things, goodbye. ”
"We'll tell the young master, goodbye!"
Unexpectedly, the persuasion turned out to be successful, and the navy left.
It didn't take long for the Lu Ze Pirates to take their places and continue to move forward, and a clear blue sky and white clouds and a vast sea gradually appeared in front of them, with a breeze blowing and flags flying.
"Young Master Lu is very lucky to have encountered such a navy. You may succeed this time! ”
Zhang Gaidun said.
"Thank you for your good words, Messenger Zhang."
"Look, Young Master Lu, that's the Evil Spirit Pirates, as long as there are no accidents this time, we will definitely be able to catch up with them!"
Zhang Gaidim pointed to the dozen or so pirate ships in the distance in front of him and said, it's just that the distance is not something that ordinary people can see.
"Young master, the lookout has found an enemy in the distance, and the banner has a demon skeleton painted on it."
A warrior came to report.
"Okay, full speed ahead, Huang Hao."
