Chapter 14 Longjiang

When you're away from home, safety comes first.

Xiao Tianlei asked the Lingwu Guild to help find a safe and reliable sea vessel, and the Lingwu Guild introduced a sea ship that belonged to the Longjiang Guild.

The Longjiang River is one of the two great rivers that run through the territory of Bactria and the Longjiang Society was originally a gang of people who relied on water to eat on the Longjiang River, mainly engaged in freight transportation, but also did some business on their own. The Longjiang Society has a long history, and its business has long expanded to other waters outside the Longjiang River, and it is a well-known big gang in Daxia.

"What are you four hairy boys doing in Yazhou?"

The questioner was a black-faced man in his thirties, short and stout, dressed in a cool short suit, holding his trouser legs, with a faint fishy smell on his body. The man claimed to be Boss Lu, the boss of the sea ship that Xiao Tianlei was going to take, and for the sake of safety, Boss Lu asked to meet the four Xiao Tianlei who took the boat.

"Do business." Xiao Tianlei replied.

"Hey...... What can you boys do!? ”

"Well, let's go check it out first."

"How can it be so easy to do business, it's not that I'm too talkative, you better go home early, just a few of you little guys who haven't grown all their hair, it's strange if you don't sell them." Boss Lu persuaded him.

"No, go to Yazhou." Xiao Tianlei insisted.

"The Russians are going to Yazhou!" On the side, Zheng Biao pretended to be honest and authentic.

"Go get rich." Jiang Kui answered.

"Make a fortune!" Mahu supplemented.

"Alas...... Four stunned boys! That's it, if you want to go, I'll give you a ride, and don't regret it when the time comes. Boss Lu saw that the four boys were a little stupid, so he didn't listen to the advice, and he didn't persuade anymore, anyway, he just collected the money.

Xiao Tianlei didn't deliberately pretend to be stupid, it was entirely because of the use of the Sword Master template, the Infinite Sword Master template brings a 360-degree stereo perspective, Xiao Tianlei now learns to adjust his field of vision, he can look wherever he wants, and he won't be dizzy like he was at the beginning, however, there are some drawbacks. In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Tianlei's eyes are not focused, with a pair of dead fish eyes and he doesn't look like a smart person.

Under the influence of Xiao Tianlei, some of the boys who followed him also learned to dress stupidly and stunned, which has become a bad taste.

After Boss Lu's advice, Xiao Tianlei was basically sure that it should be safe to take this ship, and he should not do anything to kill people and oversell goods halfway, but there are no absolutes, and you still have to be careful.

Xiao Tianlei and the four of them boarded the sea boat where Boss Lu was and were arranged in a small cabin.

This sea ship is twenty or thirty meters long, and its carrying weight is estimated to be two or three hundred tons, and in addition to the shipwrights, there are also cargo owners on board, and some warriors who are responsible for escorting, plus three other sea ships, and some other smaller sea ships, forming a fleet, and leaving the Lingzhou wharf in a mighty way.

The fleet set off early in the morning, went south along the crocodile river, and arrived at the mouth of the sea in the afternoon, Xiao Tianlei and the four of them also saw the sea for the first time, and the four of them were a little excited, Zheng Biao also climbed onto a mast and looked at the sea level in the sky.

"Brother Lei, it's really the same as you say!"

"Boy, why do you climb so high? Shouting. Boss Lu asked.

"Look at the horizon." Zheng Biao replied.

"What are you doing by looking at the sky?"

"Oh, see if the earth is round."

"Is the earth round?" Boss Lu turned his head and asked Xiao Tianlei, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu.

"Round." The three nodded in the affirmative.

"......" Boss Lu became more and more sure that the four boys were a little abnormal, so he didn't pay attention to it, but just warned not to run around casually, it didn't matter if he was blown into the sea by the strong wind.

It took more than half a month to sail east along the coastline route to reach Yazhou. The sea scenery is beautiful, you will get bored if you see too much, you will find it monotonous, the sea voyage is boring, there is no entertainment, the boatmen and those warriors will gamble a few or drink.

Xiao Tianlei and the four of them were prepared in advance, Xiao Tianlei bought a few books, the bookstore could only buy some general books, most of them were those useless sage articles, poems and songs, Xiao Tianlei was not interested in these, bought a few miscellaneous books, sat on the deck and flipped through them, once inspired, sketched on them, and then sorted them out.

"I can't see that you're still a scholar." Boss Lu was slightly surprised, he couldn't understand what Xiao Tianlei wrote, but he felt that Xiao Tianlei's writing looked comfortable, and suddenly, he changed his previous thoughts, thinking that these boys were a little nerdy in reading, and then reminded the other shipwrights on the ship not to disturb the four of them. Whether it is an ordinary grass man or a martial artist, they generally respect the learned.

This provides some convenience for Xiao Tianlei, asking the boatman how to operate the sail and distinguish the direction and current, the boatman will generally tell that Xiao Tianlei will record the whole process and discuss it with Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu.

The shipwright and the boat are all based on the experience of their ancestors, and now when they see the four boys say a lot of Taoism, they can also understand some of them, and they suddenly have a sense of enlightenment, and they only feel that the reader is really powerful.

In addition, Xiao Tianlei and the four of them also have other entertainment, six-in-a-row, a simple game, draw a nine-square grid, and just take some stones, branches and the like as chess pieces to play, Lu Boss and the boatman also felt quite interesting when they saw it, seeing that their chess equipment was simple, I don't know where to find a pair of Go, Xiao Tianlei and the four of them began to play backgammon again.

Go is a tall and elegant thing, and generally only those literati play it, but Go is too advanced and profound, and ordinary people can't understand it. The rules of backgammon were simple and clear, and the boatmen understood it as soon as they heard it, and they thought it was more interesting than playing dice, so they simply abandoned the previous gambling method and watched backgammon with a group of people around the chessboard, betting on who would lose and who would win.

When he was shopping in Lingzhou before, Xiao Tianlei bought a flute with good material, and played it from time to time, not playing, in fact, he was trying to convert the gang qi into a sonic attack, but as he blew and blew, he couldn't help but think of some tunes from his previous life and tried to play it.

There is not much space on the boat, Xiao Tianlei and the four of them will still do some simple physical exercises every day, push-ups, sit-ups and the like, when they are hungry, they will sit around the stove and eat seafood, all of which are freshly beaten from the sea, and the taste of those sea fish and the fish in the river is naturally different, the clear soup is boiled with little water, only a little salt is put in, and it is delicious. Especially the sea crab, a small iron pot can only cook one at a time, the crab claw is bigger than the pig's trotters, and it is full of juice every time you eat it...... In this way, the journey was delicious, but it smelled fishy.

Thanks to the experienced boatmen on board, taking the sea route does save you the hardship of trekking by land and the cost of going through some checkpoints, but there are also other risks.

The wind, waves, and reefs in the sea are all threats, and if they are not done well, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Behemoths in the sea are larger and more dangerous than those on land, but they are usually found in the deep sea, and shallow waters are rare, and they generally do not actively attack ships.

Then there are the pirates, now the pirates on the sea are very rampant, not only those specialized pirates, some merchants and even the government's sailors, the opportunity is right, but also do some business, some pirates occupy some islands, and claim the king.

Xiao Tianlei was a little worried, but he was not worried about this voyage, after all, such a large fleet, still hanging the flag of the Longjiang Society, ordinary pirates could not afford to provoke at all, but in the future, he sold cigarettes by himself, and there was no background force, how to deal with pirates? Borrowing the power of gangs such as the Longjiang Society? Just thinking about it for a while, Xiao Tianlei vetoed this idea, if these forces learned about the business they did, it would be strange not to get a piece of the pie.

In fact, I am not afraid of a piece of the pie, the main reason is that I am too weak, and I am miserable when I am eaten, and I make wedding dresses for others.

Xiao Tianlei was struggling with this, and the fleet encountered pirates, to be exact, it should be the scene of pirates robbing.

The fleet sailed to a sea area, only to see that on the sea, several pirate ships were chasing a large sea ship, which was two sizes larger than the sea ships of the Longjiang Society.

"Hailong Island is doing business, idle people, etc., leave quickly!"

Closer, a voice came from afar, like thunder, but someone sent the sound over the fleet with a bang.

Then, a thick male voice that was not weaker than before also came from the big boat: "Help Wu Tiexiong in Xiayinghai, and ask the brothers of the Longjiang Association to help!" ”

Woo-woo-woo......

After a while, a horn sounded from one of the sea boats of the Longjiang Hui fleet, and then all the ships began to change positions, with the big ships outside and the small boats inside, forming a defensive formation.

"The leader has an order, give the brothers of the Yinghai Gang a hand, and the brothers copy the guys!" Lu Lao shouted, and the shipwrights and warriors on the ship ran and took out some swords, bows and crossbows from some hidden places.

At this time, the big sea ships of the Yinghai Gang were already close to the Longjiang Hui fleet, and the faces of the people on board could be seen clearly. After a while, the sea ships entered the queue of the fleet, and the pirate ships did not continue the pursuit, but did not retreat either, and did not seem to intend to give up.

At this time, the low horn sounded again, and I saw many ships appearing in one direction, approaching quickly, looking at the flag, and the pirate ship was in a group, and the pirates on it were all pirates, wielding swords.

Seeing that the fight was about to start, Boss Lu thought of Xiao Tianlei and the four of them, turned his head and admonished: "Four boys, you all go back to the cabin, the sword has no eyes, and I can't take care of you when it starts." ”

Xiao Tianlei nodded, and led the three of them back to the cabin, but they came out later, each of them had weapons in their hands, Xiao Tianlei was naturally Wuji Sword, Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu were weapons obtained from robbers, which were better than ordinary swords, and they were all hidden in their bags before.

The last time he killed those masked bandits, he got a lot of system gold and game gold, Xiao Tianlei would not let go of this opportunity, and he didn't go out immediately, just watching the development of the situation.

The pirate ship did not carry the cargo, and it was also a clipper ship, and after ten minutes, the fleet was surrounded, and it did not immediately fight, and the leaders of the two sides began to negotiate, and the two sides transmitted the sound with a strong voice, coming and going, and as a result, the two sides did not negotiate, and could only solve the problem with swords.

Pirate ships rushed up with the wind, and with the shouts of the pirates, a burst of bows and crossbows fired at each other.

Boss Lu was stunned when he saw this, and then scolded: "What are you four doing? Isn't it looking for death! ”

"Fight."

"This is not a child's play, don't join in the fun, it's not worth losing your life." Boss Lu persuaded.

"It's okay, borrow some bows and arrows."

Xiao Tianlei said, took his own bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at it, the arrow pierced the neck of a pirate, Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu also took the bow and arrow, and each shot one person in the blink of an eye.

Boss Lu didn't have time to talk about Xiao Tianlei and the four of them at this time, and when he saw that they could kill pirates, he followed them.

The ships of the two sides were mixed together, and there were fighting sounds in all directions, and some pirates were not afraid of death, shouting, swinging to the big ship by the cable, jumping on the big ship of the Longjiang Society, and fighting in close quarters. The pirates' main attack was still the Yinghai Gang big sea ship, the big sea ship was not far from the sea ship where Xiao Tianlei was, but it was relatively safe, Xiao Tianlei and the four of them kept shooting arrows.

At this time, Xiao Tianlei did not use the Ice Archer template, however, at such a close distance, the 360-degree three-dimensional perspective of the Wuji Sword Master template, using a certain field of vision alone, still has a certain farsightedness function, plus years of practice, archery is not much worse, the angle of archery is more tricky, people can't guard against it, Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu have also played with bows and arrows since childhood, and their archery skills are not weak.

When he was shooting arrows, Xiao Tianlei was also observing, at this time, he was staring at a pirate ship nearby, he originally planned to buy a ship, but now he may be able to save this money, and said to Zheng Biao and the others: "I think that ship is good, let's go and grab it!" ”

"Good!" Zheng Biao and the three responded in unison, eager to try.

"Follow the formation you practiced before."

There were not many arrows on the ship, and they were gone in a short time, Xiao Tianlei threw away the bow, pulled out the Wuji Sword, and transported the Gang Qi under his feet, condensing into a spring-like structure, and then suddenly erupted, Xiao Tianlei shot out and shot straight at the pirate ship, followed by Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu.

The body is still in mid-air, Xiao Tianlei launched the skill - Wuji Kendo, Wuji Kendo increases the attack power in the game, and now the effect is to make the Gang Qi more condensed, take the initiative to use this skill, Gang Qi is converted into an extremely condensed, extremely penetrating sword qi, and can be released, it is not used by ordinary pirates at all, Xiao Tianlei's target is mainly those pirates who have the Gang Qi body.

Brushing the two swords, two crescent-shaped translucent sword qi, cross-slashed out, as fast as lightning, shot onto the pirate ship, and immediately several people's sword qi passed through the body, and they fell to the ground one after another, clearing out a space. Falling on the deck of the pirate ship, before he could stand firmly, several knives slashed around, and the sword light became a piece...... Alpha attacked, Xiao Tianlei's body shook, suddenly accelerated, and rushed behind the pirate.

In the eyes of the pirates, Xiao Tianlei lost his figure at once, and without reacting, several people died under Xiao Tianlei's sword.

Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu also killed the boat at this time, with Xiao Tianlei as the vanguard, they were much easier, the three of them fought back to back, assisting each other, Xiao Tianlei walked around them, constantly mending the knife, this kind of tactics had been practiced many times before coming out, and now it is actually combat, proving that it is indeed effective.

The pirates are also fierce, but Xiao Tianlei's swordsmanship is weird, and many pirates died without explanation, especially at the beginning, Xiao Tianlei turned out to be more powerful, and after a burst of killing, the pirates were suddenly a little frightened, and some people began to retreat.

On the boat not far away, Boss Lu and the other boatmen were dumbfounded, Boss Lu was in disbelief, waved his knife, and shouted: "Lao Tzu actually looked away, these four hairy boys are all masters!" ”
