As natives of half an oasis, the couple had long suspected that there was something wrong with the pirate group encounter on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although there is a flood of pirates near the oasis, they will not be encountered at any time, pirates in order to survive, but also pay attention to efficiency and economy, those poor ghost ships have no need to rob at all, waste fuel and energy, bad luck will be lost when encountering desperate resistance, and they will not be able to row at all.

And Yura's stowaway boat is the least cost-effective one. The untouchables who are willing to smuggle to the oasis almost all have nothing, and Yura, an old fritter smuggler, is extremely difficult, so unless there is a personal grudge, it is really difficult to encounter pirate robbery.

But they met it, and it was a whole group of pirates, and as soon as they met, they raised the skull flag, apparently with a purpose...... Judging from the knowledge of the merchant and his wife, it is obvious that this is a smuggling boat carrying some high-value goods, and using smuggling as a cover to avoid those wolf-like pirates. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and there is a high probability of success.

As for why Yura's stowaway ship happened to be blocked by Falion's black hand pirate group, it is necessary to ask if there is a problem with Yura's crew, in the wandering star field, betrayal and profit are eternal themes, considering that in the two days after encountering the pirates, Yura's trusted deputy suddenly disappeared, and the truth of the matter seems to be obvious.

And if you look at it from this point of view, their husband and wife actually suffered from the pond fish, but walking in the wandering star field, accidents and misfortunes are simply eternal themes, so they can't hate Yura, but at this time there is a new problem.

Do you want to betray Yura?

Just tell Yura about it in exchange for the four gems that were withheld, and even more generous - Jack is always generous to his men. In that case, the couple might be able to jump from Iraq to the Freedom League and become nationals of the superpowers, which they have dreamed of since childhood.

And this matter is not moral, they are not related to Yura, and they have even been involved by Yura, even if they betray her?

The only thing that needs to be cared about is that Wang Ye seems to have a great relationship with Yura, if he betrays Yura, will it affect Wang Ye? After all, it is his savior......

But then again, even if it is a life-saving benefactor, their husband and wife have already paid a price of hundreds of thousands, which was originally their emergency backup supply, and once something goes wrong with this batch of 10 gems, they can still use that batch of spare gems to top it.

Now the spare source of goods has been handed away, and the main source of goods has problems again...... The situation is really dire.

"Stil, what should I do now?"

Jia Rong frowned and sighed softly.

Shi Di snorted, and his brain hurt with sorrow: "Jiarong, let's analyze it rationally, without considering any moral factors, if we don't say it, what will happen?"

Jia Rong said: "The four gems that are missing, can we make up for them?"

"These gems are hard to come by even if you have money...... If it weren't for that, the merchants of the Freedom Alliance wouldn't have paid a sky-high price to buy it. "On the sheriff's side, there has never been room for bargaining, and the risk of stealing the skin of the tiger is too high, and it is impossible to get back what has been intercepted." ”

Jia Rong asked again: "If we break the contract, can we afford the consequences?"

“...... The best result is that the accumulation of the last five years is also in vain, and the businessmen on the side of the Liberal Alliance are equally difficult to talk to. ”

"Five years, how much hard work and how much luck have we put in in the past five years...... Do you think we'll have another five years like this?"

Shi Di shook his head bitterly: "It's impossible, the situation in the Wandering Star Domain has changed in the past two years, and it is difficult for merchants to survive." ”

"And, do you have any sense that we've actually been targeted? ”

"I'm afraid there weren't many ships that passed through that sector during that time......

After pondering for a while, Shi Di asked again, "Then the other way around, what if we say it." ”

"First of all, the problems that I talked about before are gone...... But on the other hand, our relationship with Yura will drop to a freezing point. ”

Jia Rong smiled: "Do we care about Yura?"

"Of course not...... It's just a ride, and I'm afraid there won't be any intersection in the future. But the problem is that Wang Ye seems to have a close relationship with Yura, and he is a super soldier after all. Stitch paused for a moment, and then said, "And it's a super soldier with incredible strength, and it's impossible for a three-star warrior to destroy a pirate fleet with a single gesture." ”

Jia Rong also felt a little frightened: "Four-star warriors must not be provoked...... Even if there is only one possibility, try to avoid it. It should be said that a four-star warrior is no better than Sheriff Jack. ”

Shi Di said helplessly: "So we are actually in a dilemma, no matter which side we choose, we will offend a big man we can't afford to offend, Jiarong, what do you say?"

Jia Rong gritted her teeth: "I don't think I can think of it, but maybe we can think differently...... Why do we have to do this dilemma ourselves?"

"Huh?"

"Go to Yura and Wang Ye, explain the situation to them, and let them decide what to do...... Yura aside, Mr. Wang Ye, I feel that it is still reasonable. ”

Shi Di was silent for a while: "But, how much do you think we have to pay to get Mr. Wang Ye to help?"

"No matter how much you pay, it's better than choosing for ourselves. ”

The two discussed and made up their minds, and finally put their minds at ease with a hint of bitterness, at least there was a solution to the matter, so that they would not be dead ends at both ends.

After eating the sandwich, Shi Di and Jia Rong went back to the port to look for Wang Ye, but to their surprise, Wang Ye was no longer here, and no one knew his whereabouts.

"Wang Ye, do you mean the handsome guy who was with the captain? I don't know, I got off the boat and left with the tall woman. ”

Shi Di was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What about your captain? She should have Wang Ye's contact information, where is your captain?"

As he spoke, Stee habitually stuffed a stack of bills, but the crew was stunned for a moment but didn't take it.

"I'm sorry, we don't know where the captain is, she stays alone for a few days every time she docks, and we don't allow any of us to look for her. I advise you not to beat her too, the captain has been in a bad mood lately. ”

The betrayal of the deputy attracted the Pharian pirate group, and Yura did have a reason to be in a bad mood...... At the same time, she also carried valuable goods enough to attract the pirate group this time, and of course she didn't want others to hit her. But now apart from her, Shi Di and Jia Rong really don't know what to do.

For most of the night, the husband and wife spent most of the night in confusion, walking aimlessly around the space station, trying every way they could think of to find Wang Ye and Yura, but of course they found nothing.

This is a space city with a population of one million, after more than 100 years of illegal expansion, the complexity of the terrain has been shocking, except for the real snake who has been in this place for many years, it is not easy for ordinary people to even find a way, let alone find someone.

The two were busy until the early morning of the next day local time, and although there was no day or night in the space station, the long period of not resting, coupled with the high level of mental tension, had made them feel extremely tired.

Shi Di said helplessly: "...... Let's go to the hotel to rest first, it's not a way to look for it like a headless fly. ”

However, when the two returned to the hotel, they found that there was one more person in the room, a familiar face.

"Is that you?" said Steele in a deep voice, as she stepped forward to protect her behind her.

The man sitting in the room was the same young man he had traded gems with yesterday, codenamed Pit Viper, and he was a very difficult fellow.

"I'm sorry to bother me at this time, but I'm also forced to be helpless, I can't bear the pressure from above. ”

Shi Di was stunned: "Look for us by name?"

"Actually, you've been targeted for a long time, after all, you're on that boat. The pit viper smiled, "But because you have been in good standing for the past ten years or so, and you are about to leave the Wandering Star Field, it is unlikely that you will cause trouble, so no one will suspect you at first." But after meeting me yesterday, your behavior has been so weird, so I'm here. ”

Stitch suddenly felt remorseful, such a big flaw, why didn't he think of it before!

However, things may not have taken a turn for the better, because at least the other party acknowledges the credibility of the couple in the past ten years, and also recognizes that they left the Wandering Star Field, in the other party's opinion, the two of them are the most standard good citizens, like this......

“...... So, who's coming to us? I mean, who is it?"

Jack has many subordinates to manage the space station, and the highest ranking of them is One-Eyed Jones, who has a brutal temperament, but he doesn't want to be such a big man to care about an ordinary businessman couple like them. So Shi Di quickly thought of a few of them again, such as the sheriffs of several substations, and a few of them happened to be friends, and if they met them, things would be fine.

The pit viper, however, smiled playfully.

"You're lucky, this time...... It was Master Jones who entertained you personally. ”

In an instant, Shi Di and Jia Rong fell into an ice cave.

――

At the same time, Wang Ye, who had just returned to the port after a day's tour, heard the crew tell him that the merchant and his wife had been looking for him and were going crazy.

"Hah, looking for me, what's wrong?"

Naturally, no one could answer him.

"Do you know where they are now?"

Again, no one can answer this question.

Wang Ye had no choice but to shake his head and put this question to the back of his mind, although the businessman couple had a very good appetite for him, but after all, they were only meeting in Pingshui.

However, the bill of lading in hand can be used as soon as possible.
