Zhang Fan took a look at the leather armor and found that a strange heart guard was sewn on the chest of the leather armor, about the size of two palms. The theme of the heart guard is a piece of reverse scale, which is larger than the one in Caterina in Zhang Fan's hand. Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing could see that the broken side of Katerina's inverted scale fragment was exactly the same as the broken part of this piece. If it is put together, then the shape of the piece of reverse scale fragment that Zuihou is missing is also clear.

The rest of the goggles were made of refined white copper to complete the scales. The texture of this 'Ying Dragon' is extremely tough, and the blade of the divine weapon cannot hurt it, and it is naturally super strong when made into a heart shield! At this time, Zhang Fan Shudemon and Xuanyuan Xing also received a ring reminder, and the second 'Evidence of the Four Seas' was also confirmed.

"This armor has saved my father's life several times, and my father must have received a great favor from you by giving him to you." Wang Ruxian said to Zhang Fan, his words were sincere, which made Zhang Fan blush a little. "If you have any other requests, just ask. Whatever I can, I will not dare to refuse! ”

Zhang Fan nodded, solemnly put away the leather armor, and then said to Wang Ruxian: "Your father once said that if you are willing to follow me to the Caribbean, I will let you take charge of a fleet, and there will be a place for you in the New World!" ”

Wang Ruxian shook his head, "My father is in a desperate situation, how can the son of man avoid danger, this matter should not be mentioned again!" ”

Zhang Fan and the book demon glanced at each other, knowing that this matter was in line with history, and Wang Zhi's son would not leave easily. So he didn't force it, so he asked Wang Ruxian: "Your father's subordinates, will there be people who are willing to go with us to the Caribbean land on the other side of the ocean, and we will compete with the Spaniards, and it is the right time to employ people." If there are Chinese people to help, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings! It's good to show my Chinese majesty overseas! ”

Wang Ruxian thought about it again and again, and kept shaking his head, "Dongying Wakou, not my race, his heart must be different." My father's men are loyal and righteous, and they will not leave him whether he lives or dies. Those who can leave with you are ill-intentioned, and they cannot be trusted! ”

"Is it true that there is no one in my country who can go overseas with me?" Zhang Fan was a little discouraged.

Wang Ruxian thought for a while and said to Zhang Fan: "But there is one person, but I am afraid that Mr. is worried......

Zhang Fan asked curiously, "Who is it?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Wang Ruxian said with a smile: "This person is a woman, but she is a heroine and a heroine among women." It's just that the background is a little ......"

"Woman?!" Zhang Fan frowned, he didn't look down on women. I just feel a little troublesome. "Tell me, what's going on? It doesn't matter what your background is. As long as you have outstanding ability, you can have some horses under your command. ”

Wang Ruxian pondered for a moment and said: "This woman's ability is extraordinary, not only is she quick-witted, but she also has a good way of governance. Back then, another group of pirates named after my father was managed under her very well! It's even bigger than my father! ”

"Oh? And this person? How come I have never heard of it? Zhang Fan was surprised.

Wang Ruxian said: "Mr. must have heard of the Mingshan monk 'Blood Monk' Xu Hai?!" ”

"Xu Hai?" Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, "He is a pirate with your father's name, wasn't he killed after being recruited by Hu Zongxian the year before last?" Could it be that the woman next to him ......" Zhang Fan suddenly remembered a woman's name, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Wang Ruxian nodded and said, "It's Xu Hai's wife of the village-Wang Cuiqiao!" This woman was originally a woman from an official eunuch's family, because her father was convicted, she sold herself to save her father, and later lived in the Qinglou. Wang Cuiqiao's appearance and talent are the best. The monk Mingshan admired him for a long time, and then invaded the coast on a large scale, plundered it back to the island, and became a pirate from then on. ”

"But the 'blood monk' Xu Hai can be named after my father, and half of the credit goes to this woman to manage it well! Otherwise, my father is a famous maritime merchant along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Hai is a martial artist, how can he compare? My father often said that if Xu Hai gets Wang Cuiqiao, he has the overseas half of the sea frontier! ”

Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this, "I have also heard that Xu Hai's leadership is extraordinary, and the plundering naval battle is stronger than that of the Daming Navy. But in terms of operation, it is definitely not as good as the 'Pure Sea King'! If it weren't for this strange woman, he would have gone bankrupt a long time ago! It's just that Xu Haicheng is also Xiao He is defeated, he listened to Wang Cuiqiao's words, and surrendered to Hu Zongxian two years ago, but died at the hands of Hu Zongxian. And this Wang Cuiqiao heard that he had already been martyred for Xu Hai to jump into the sea, how could he say this? ”

Wang Ruxian smiled mysteriously, "It's true that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea, but sir, you think, this woman often travels on the sea, how can she not know the nature of water." The so-called suicide is just a cover-up. In fact, Wang Cuiqiao bought off the leader of the Ming army who escorted her and fled by jumping into the sea. Later, this woman gathered a group of remnants of the 'blood monk' Xu Hai and defected to my father. My father, for the sake of running a business with Xu Hai back then, allowed her to eat some rice in the Luzon area. But I haven't seen him for two years, and my father has been arrested. And under its management, Luzon Island may have a different atmosphere. ”

Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good, I will wait until I go to find this strange woman Wang Cuiqiao!" ”

After bidding farewell to Wang Ruxian, Zhang Fan still has a task. led the pirates who were following him around Liangzhejiang a few times, and taught a few groups of pirates who were not long-sighted and wanted to kidnap the two of them on the way. Although it was nerfed to only one-fifth by the scene, with the help of props, it was not a problem to fight a few bandits. Even if you can't beat it, relying on the flying skills on the leather armor, it's still no problem to escape.

After suffering several losses, the pirates did not dare to harass again. Even afraid that the two would fly away and disappear, even following the two of them was much hidden. In fact, among the several groups of pirates who followed Zhang Fan, there were also Daming Jinyi guards arranged by Hu Zongxian to follow secretly in plainclothes, and they could keep in touch with Zhang Fan at any time.

After walking around the coastal towns of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for half a month, Zhang Fan even returned to his hometown to see it, where Zhang Fan saw the ancestors of his family this time. At this time, Jiangnan C City, like the Tang Dynasty, was also a big port. Zhang Fan also deliberately went to the original site of the commercial street, looking for the land lord of this era, which was a commercial place in the Ming Dynasty, but did not find the old slippery head.

The book demon almost looted the bookstores in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the space was full of all kinds of rare books. Of course, Zhang Fan also collected a lot of precious medicinal materials and medicines in the pharmacy. When I arrived in my hometown of China, I was so sorry for my title of Doctor Without Borders if I didn't collect very high-quality Chinese patent medicines in this era.

The two men also bought peculiar goods from Europe and the Caribbean, and sold them to some large trading houses, mainly European handicrafts and industrial goods, and then furs, cotton fabrics, and the like, which were very popular in mainland China, especially handicrafts. Then the two of them bought a large number of Chinese silk, tea and porcelain, which are well-known in Europe!

The book demon roughly calculated, this trade, one in and one out, will earn at least 60,000 gold pounds! Sure enough, it's a lucrative deal! It is no wonder that those European ships came to China to do business, even if they were not far away, detouring the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and the Indian Ocean. Although these goods and profits are recorded in detail in the historical materials of the book demon, the two of them are still surprised by the fact that they really have so much silver!

After seeing Hu Zongxian's complete release of the news that he might get the hiding place of Wang Zhicai's treasure, he arrived at the nearest port of sea at a gallop, rented a small flat-bottomed sea boat, and headed towards the ambush place where he had made an appointment with Hu Zongxian. This flat-bottomed boat, known as a sand boat, has a square head and a square tail, commonly known as a 'square boat', and is suitable for sailing on shallow waterways with many beaches. Because of its shallow draft, it is fast, not afraid of running aground, and is not affected by tides, especially suitable for offshore navigation.

"This kind of Chinese flat-bottomed ship is good, and it is much more powerful than the Spanish warship with a deep draft and a pointed bottom in the offshore waters. The Caribbean Sea is full of islands, so it's very useful! Zhang Fan said to Xuanyuan Xing.

"That's a matter for you smart people, I don't quite understand......" Regulus shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

Zhang Fan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Concentration is a good thing, but if you can be distracted a little, maybe it will be a lot of good for you to focus on." ”

Xuanyuan Xing thought for a moment, and still said: "I was very distracted in the past, but I didn't achieve anything. Now if I get distracted, my arrows will no longer be accurate. Do you really want me to be distracted? ”

Zhang Fan was speechless for a while, and shook his head half-loudly, "You will understand later......"

…………

The false treasure plot arranged by Hu Zongxian was in a desolate bay off the coast of Fujian. The bay has a small mouth and a large belly, and is accessed by a long, narrow waterway that can accommodate many boats. And within the bay, there are many hidden coves where warships can be ambushed. The so-called treasure trove is located on the peninsula that surrounds this bay.

During the more than half a month that Zhang Fan was wandering around, Hu Zongxian had already mobilized the Fujian Navy Division and inland officers and soldiers to assemble here and set up an ambush early. The first batch of pirates they ushered in was the fleet of Wang Zhiyan's line led by Wang Zhiyi's son, Wang Cao. It is also the main force of Wang Zhi's command over the Japanese pirates! The fleet led by Wang Cao was lured by the letter written by Wang Zhi, who had been changed by the master of the golden pen. Wang Yu was told in the letter to protect this wealth.

Wang Cao's fleet did not have a detailed treasure chart, so it wandered around the coast of Fujian for more than half a month. After Zhang Fan's flat-bottomed sea ship arrived, countless pirate ships that followed Zhang Fan's sea ship also entered the bay that was closely monitored by the Ming army. As soon as Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing entered the bay, they plunged headlong into the forests of the peninsula.

Along the way, Hu Zongxian had already sent someone to mark the road, pointing straight to a barren mountain col on the peninsula. Such terrain really looks like a treasure land. Because there is also a hidden cave in the col......
