Junshan Sect disciples Dabi trip, Li Bin and Futu Men because of fate, did a lot of earth-shattering things, as he wished to win the first place in the disciple of the sect Dabi also made the Futu Men and Li Bin's reputation spread far and wide, from today on, Futu Sect as a Jianghu sect in Kyushu martial arts, the comprehensive reputation of the sect alone has surpassed many major sects in the martial arts.

However, the prestige of individuals and sects has become more and more prestigious, which has brought a lot of inconvenience to Li Bin's return journey, and many local martial arts forces on the way, and people who don't know each other on the rivers and lakes are waiting for halfway, warmly inviting Li Bin to keep Li Bin's master and apprentice as guests.

Originally, the journey of seven or eight days took more than half a month before entering the boundary between the two Guangzhous.

On this day, as soon as the master and apprentice entered the port of Guangzhou, Zhang Ju, the teacher in charge of the Futu Sect who received the news, urged Ma to welcome Li Bin and others.

Zhang Ju's somewhat abrupt and abnormal behavior made Li Bin secretly worried in his heart, "It can't be another big mess, right?" "All the industries in the vicinity of the port of Guangzhou are rich and prosperous, and there are not a few people and forces who have bad intentions and want to replace them.

"Senior brother in charge, you can be regarded as back." Zhang Ju pulled Li Bin to a secluded street corner where no one was around.

"The number of trading ships entering and leaving the port has plummeted these days, and the situation is very abnormal." Zhang Judao said that something was wrong.

Li Bin's heart sank, knowing that the situation Zhang Ju said was by no means as simple as it seemed, and hurriedly asked: "Has the reason for the sharp decrease in the number of trading ships entering and leaving the port been discovered?" ”

Zhang Ju looked embarrassed and shook his head silently.

Li Bin knew that he could make the shrewd, capable and resourceful little junior brother Zhang Ju in front of him have nothing to do, and he would never be able to come up with a countermeasure for a while, so now it is better to return to the sect first and think about it in the long run.

Zhang Ju accompanied Li Bin and his entourage back to Futumen, along the way, Li Bin checked the industrial production of Futumen in many places, the two weapons spectrum is currently full production line, 24 hours a day and night to build weapons, because the expansion speed of Futumen disciples is too fast, the number of disciples has surged, and the demand for weapons is very large.

Now the situation of the country of Daqi has made weapons a rarity, the weapons shops and blacksmith shops in various places have been forcibly requisitioned by the local government, only the two weapons shops under the Futu Gate of Guangzhou Port have been spared, Zhang Ju has also increased the number of workers in the armory shop in a timely manner, a skilled old blacksmith master, with more than ten apprentices under his hands, so that after a period of time, after the apprentices come out, the armory shops can be expanded, two to 4, 4 to 8......

The four newly built garment workshops are running well, and it will take seven or eight days at most, and the first batch of 1,300 Futumen disciples' standard winter clothes will be all produced.

Returning to the foot of Luofu Mountain, Li Bin asked Zhang Ju to expand the stables and increase the number of war horses in Futumen to meet the needs of the emergency.

Back in the sect hall, Zhang Ju took over the account books of the Tiger Gang after the Futu Gate fully took over the property of the Tiger Gang, and split a brief list of entries and exits for Li Bin to browse.

After reading the details of the list, Li Bin was refreshed, and today's Futumen can not only be self-sufficient, but also free up a large part of its strength to show its strength.

Since the abolition of the berthing fees and detention fees of the Laoshzi of the Tiger Gang, which eats people and does not spit out bones, the port can also have more than 10,000 taels of silver every day, and the 2 million taels of silver handed over to the imperial court every year are removed.

However, what makes Li Bin unhappy is that the number of trading ships entering the port has decreased sharply in recent days, which is completely opposite to the previous daily increase, a very abnormal situation, if this sharp decline trend continues, the port trade will soon collapse, and the largest source of income for Futumen will also dry up.

Li Bin pondered: "Who is making trouble?" The Tigers? No, the LTTE has long been wiped out. ”

Li Bin suddenly thought that since the number of trading ships in the port is decreasing sharply every day, those merchants who are not affected and can still trade at the port are the best clues and breakthroughs.

After having a direction of action, Li Bin found Zhang Ju and discussed a thorough plan of action together, and the two discussed a total of one night, Li Bin decided to take a two-pronged approach, not only to monitor and control the actions of those suspicious businessmen who were not affected, but also to take the initiative to lure the opponent to make mistakes.

It just so happened that two days later, a group of tea merchants in the port were ready to sell overseas tea to arrive in the port and prepare to be shipped.

Li Bin disguised himself as a port porter, blended into merchant ships, and went to sea with trading ships.

On the first two days of departure, everything was calm and normal, after the third day of the ship, Li Bin realized that something was wrong, the captains and sailors on the trading ship were extremely nervous, Li Bin also knew from the casual conversation with the sailors that the trading ship was vaguely followed by a sea ship of unknown origin, originally this sea area was a sea area where pirates frequently appeared, what it meant to be targeted by a ship of unknown forces, and the crew members who had experience going to sea knew it.

These days, in addition to eating, resting and working, the crew members spend their spare time praying to the gods and worshiping the Buddha and praying for the blessings of the gods from all walks of life.

Sailing to the fifth day, the following unknown force ship chased up and used a special sampan on the trading ship, a group of swords and swords of pirates boarded the trading ship from the pirate ship, soon, the trading ship was completely controlled by the pirates who boarded the ship, the whole process of the pirates were quite restrained, did not hurt people's lives at will, Li Bin was so happy that he did not make a move.

Li Bin's idea is to follow this group of pirates back to the pirate's lair, and it is useless to use the little minions to cut them, and if you want to get the big boss.

The pirates escorted the trading ship all the way to a harbor with the pirate mothership.

Before disembarking, the pirates forcibly covered each captured tradeship man with a black cloth, tied his hands with ropes, and escorted him ashore one by one.

After meandering on the shore for half an hour, Li Bin and his crew were imprisoned in a dark cave by the pirates.

On the way to escort, Li Bin paid attention to the conversation between the pirates, this group of pirates should be all Daqi people, and Li Bin can roughly understand the words.

From the chatter between the pirates, Li Bin still gathered a little useful information. Today, the leaders of the pirates from all over the world gathered on the island, saying that they were going to welcome a distinguished guest from the Great Qi court.

Li Bin pondered: "It seems that this group of pirates is not just pirates, they are still in collusion with the Great Qi Imperial Court, maybe a large number of trading ships in Guangzhou Port have been looted recently, and they were instructed by others." ”

Li Bin looked at the situation of the cave where he was being held, a wooden fence gate, a chain locked the wooden door, and two pirate minions staring at the door, this level of defense, for Li Bin, is like no defense.
