PS: The merchant ships themselves were rowed with hard labor or slaves, and they would also help carry goods, but because there were few port stops in this era, they would hire hard laborers to speed things up.

On this day, the wind was beautiful, the breeze was as usual, blowing the salty smell from the sea, and the excellent port outside the east gate of the city of Bizert was as busy as ever, and the laborers shouted trumpets, carried goods to the ships, and toiled hard, for the meager income of more than ten Asa a day.

"Whew!" The old fish head held up the sack on his back, changed to a comfortable position, hammered his waist, and after sending this bag, the ship was finished, and he could also get the salary of four As, but this is not the end of the day, but only the beginning, he has to find someone who is willing to hire him, and continue to carry endlessly.

"Hey! Old fish head! There was a low shout behind him, and the old fish head turned his head to see that it was the neighbor's child, Cruise, a lively and cheerful clever young man: "Look, there is a fleet of ships coming to the sea!" Let's hurry up and finish this package, maybe we can grab a business! ”

When I looked up, it was really a large fleet, with eleven ships, four of which were navy, and I don't know what kind of big man it was, so many naval escorts could be invited.

There are many peers who will grab this kind of fleet business, so he hurriedly quickened his pace, finished moving the goods with Cruise, and then gathered at the dock recruitment office, watched and waited.

The fleet came quickly, because the space was limited, and after waiting for a while, a place was vacated, and a merchant ship docked first, and as for the warship, it had already separated from the fleet and went to the special port of the naval camp next to it.

On the merchant ship that docked at the port first, a noble lord walked down, surrounded by a large number of armed slaves, and a steward of the ship who coordinated the ship of the port quickly greeted him and said, "This lord is good! Do you want to call all of your fleet? ”

"Of course, when will there be enough slots?" The nobleman said in a pinched tone, that's right, this nobleman is Zhao Yu, he is wearing a silk robe that he hasn't worn for a long time, and his face has been adjusted to a standard Roman appearance by camouflage masks. (Don't hit me if you want to see women's clothes)

"I'm afraid it will take some time!" The steward rubbed his hands together and replied, "It's been a busy day!" Several ships are waiting to dock at the port to unload their cargo! ”

"Really?" Zhao Yu quietly handed over a small silk bag: "I think they will definitely be willing to wait a little longer, and these slow ships will leave quickly!" ”

The steward put the silk bag into his arms with a ruddy face, he pinched it, and there was a perfect feel of Jin Ori in it, and he knew in his heart that this was probably a big man, so big that he was so generous that he could use the silk bag to hold money and bribes: "It's their honor to make way for nobles like you!" Excellency! ”

"Good!" Zhao Yu took out the silk scarf that was originally used to cover his face, and wiped the sweat that didn't exist squeamishly: "It's the first time I've come to Bizert, so I want to have a good look!" ”

With that, they moved to the recruitment office of the laborers, and Zhao Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Who is familiar with this city?" I need a guide, one Giauli a day! ”

Hearing this, all the hard workers couldn't believe it, and hesitated for a while, and the steward almost jumped out by himself, but unfortunately a young man reacted and rushed in front of him: "I! My name is Cruise, and I know the city inside and out! ”

"What a lively child! It's you, take us around! As soon as Zhao Yu waved his hand, the rice bucket next to him threw over a gold coin, and the gold coins flying in the sky reflected a dazzling golden light, and all the hard workers' eyes were green, and they regretted it.

Zhao Yu took more than ten people, walked towards the city gate first, and stayed on Friday, he wanted to arrange for the rest of the ships to dock at the port, with gold coins to open the way, and the vacant seats were soon available, and when Zhao Yu walked to the city gate, he had already begun to dock at the port one after another.

"Kid, how many guards are there in this city?" On the way, Zhao Yu asked with a smile.

Although Cruise was puzzled by the other party's question, he didn't dare to hesitate: "There are more than two hundred guards patrolling and garrisoning in the city, and there are five hundred garrison troops outside the west city, the number of a brigade!" ”

Well, this number is in everyone's calculations: "What about the naval camp?" At this time, they should all be out, right? ”

Cruise was even more strange, but he still replied quickly: "You may not know this question to others, but I work on the docks every day, and it is clear, from the beginning of spring to now, thirty-six warships have gone out, and now there will be no more than four hundred people in the port!" ”

"Hey, you really have a lot of navies in this city!" Four hundred, not at all the opponent of four hundred gladiators, won it, it will be a slaughter!

"That's right, because we have a legion of naval stationing here, no pirate has ever dared to come close!" Cruise said proudly.

"Well, as of now, yes!" Zhao Yu said meaningfully: "Where is the granary in the city?" I'm here for the food this time! ”

"It's in the East City, easy to transport!" Cruise's sense of weirdness is getting stronger and stronger, and he always feels that there is something in the other person's words.

"Very well, are there any rich people in the city who are particularly rich and do not do good things?"

"Uh... I don't know! "There are quite a lot of people like this, but how can a shrewd person like Cruise say it easily, and he is the first unlucky person to be exposed.

Saying that, they had arrived at the gate of the city, Zhao Yu looked back, not far from the port, his fleet was docking, the time was ripe, and at this time, Leoni should also do it!

"Stop, who? Why did you bring so many weapons into the city? "A few guards at the city gate do routine inspections, and as long as there are sufficient reasons, they are all fine.

"Merchants from the other side of the sea, these are my slaves, you know, people who run the sea have to be a little armed, and they can fight for their lives when they encounter pirates." Zhao Yu explained, with another wave of his hand, the rice bucket took out the coin again and handed it over, it was more than a dozen silver dinars, too much for the defenders of the city, but something would happen.

"Hehe, yes, please come in, my lord!" The captain of the squad guarding the city immediately put his attitude respectful, such a sum of money is a lot!

"Well, it's been a hard work, have a good rest." Zhao Yu walked into the city first, and the people behind him followed, but the rice bucket stayed in place, drew out his long sword, and stabbed the squad leader in the abdomen with one sword, and then under the stunned gaze of the surrounding guards, one sword at a time, let them all go to rest.

"Go, control the city gates, I'll go up and deal with the city guards." Zhao Yu took a one-handed sword from his subordinates, turned his head and smiled and said to the child who led the way: "Wait here for a while, I will need you to lead the way later!" ”

"Oh, oh." Cruise looked at Zhao Yu stunned, this nobleman smiled so brightly, but why did I feel so cold?
