Chapter 115: The Merchant Ship Returns from a Voyage

"Slow down! It looks like it's almost winter, where else do our Datang merchant ships come from at sea, the number is so huge, the personnel in charge of watching and watching are not dazzled! This is not a trivial matter, and we must not fall for the conspiracy of the pirates......"

"You can't be wrong, I heard that in addition to the banner of our Datang on the merchant ship, there is also a huge Shouzi Dragon Flag that has been hung high in the air......" "What Shouzi Dragon Flag?" Li Mao, who was still holding her feet, was so anxious that she didn't even bother to put on the clogs and rushed to the messenger after hearing her name, and then grabbed his collar and questioned him.

"Who are you? Let it go! "Don't be unreasonable! This is the eighteenth prince of the dynasty, His Royal Highness King Shou! "Ahh The villain should die, the villain sees His Royal Highness King Shou...... "When the two officials heard Li Mao's name, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Get up, get up, is this king asking you if you really have a dragon flag with the word Shou?" "This ...... This...... That's what the person sent by the Dongguan County Commander said, and he also said that he had also seen it with his own eyes, and there were a lot of big ships! It was not like an ordinary merchant ship, because according to him, there were many powerful crew members on the big ship who were not afraid of pirates at all, and there were also strong crossbows...... It's just that the pirate ship is small and flexible, and it is cunning and tight... They couldn't get out of it for a while......"

"Haha...... It's been almost four years, and it's finally back, back...... Chase life, ruthless...... You select some members of the guard who know how to fight in water warfare and immediately lead the people of the Ship Division to meet the sea and solve the pirates for this king......"

Li Mao jumped up and jumped up barefoot excitedly on the spot as she spoke, and kept waving her fists around to cheer herself up as she jumped. The crazy posture was to make Zhang Jiuling look stupid again.

After receiving Li Mao's order, the chasing few turned around and pulled the two officials out of the gate without hesitation, and Li Mao himself seemed to remember to explain the gaffe to Zhang Jiuling, who was already stunned in front of him, after a few times of excitement in the same place.

"Lord Zhang, I made you laugh again, but when it comes to things in this world, it's really a coincidence! Three years ago, on a whim, this king sent hundreds of big ships to sail to the sea in search of novelties, what do you say, he returned from the waters around Lingnan today, haha......"

"Ah...... In that case, the merchant ship that just came to report is from your royal palace, Your Highness! "Not bad! It's been more than three years, and there is no news, and this king thought that they would have been buried in the sea and could not return, and he was sad for a while, but today...... Lord Zhang, you are really my lucky star! If it weren't for you, the king wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Lingnan...... Let's go to Dongguan County now! ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he didn't care whether Zhang Jiuling agreed or not, he stretched out his hand and dragged him to climb into his carriage, and although Zhang Jiuling was a little afraid of Li Mao's identity and didn't dare to ride with him, he thought of Li Mao's fiery style, if he was not watching by his side, it would be even more troublesome if he did something unexpected.

So he weighed it again and again, gritted his teeth and followed Li Mao to the car. "Your Highness! This trip to Dongguan County is not to mention that there is also a one-day itinerary, or we are ready to go again tomorrow, right? ”

"You don't have to prepare, they'll take everything they want! And Lord Zhang went to keep it this time, you won't regret it, if this king didn't guess wrong, Hai Laoba and they must have found a place to bring back good things, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come back to see this king......" Zhang Jiuling shrank in the corner a little stiffly and looked down at the decorations and all kinds of new and strange things in the carriage, what surprised him was that this small carriage actually had iron plates inside, beds, and was surrounded by bows and arrows, swords and other sharp weapons, even pastries, wine, and snacks......

"Lao Zhang, what are you looking at? Did you hear what this king just said, I am sure you will not regret it! Those good things are priceless to our entire Datang! ”

"Ah...... Listen? I wonder what your Highness is talking about? It takes so much money to build a big ship and go to sea to find it! Your Highness, you will not follow the example of the pre-Qin Xu Fu......"

"How is that possible? Xu Fu heard that he went to Fusang, so what about the old guy who tricked the First Emperor into playing? How can there be an elixir of life in this world! The treasure that this king is looking for is a farm crop like five grains. Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes...... Eh, they are the things that our Chinese people dream of! It is not a dream to plant a thousand seeds and produce a thousand catties per mu, so you don't have to worry about this food in the future......"

"Huh...... Your Highness, aren't you joking with your lower officials again! There is no elixir of immortality in this world, but I'm afraid there is no crop with a thousand catties per mu as you said! Just now you said that these three crops are resistant to insect pests and drought...... This is too unbelievable! ”

"You don't believe it, do you! This king has told many people before that they are as unbelievable as you, but you have learned the king's methods, can you believe that there is such a fast drying adhesive in the world before the cement is made? And the clairvoyant mirror, reading glasses, can you imagine that you can make it out of glass? Master Zhang's world is so big that there are no surprises, you still have to see everything to be believed! ”

Li Mao laughed after speaking, and then poured tea and pastries for Zhang Jiuling with his own hands, Zhang Jiuling hurriedly wanted to stop it after seeing it, but when he found that Li Mao showed displeasure, he hurriedly returned to his seat and waited. No, Zhang Jiuling's heart at this time was already a little uneasy by Li Mao's words, and he even had a little inexplicable expectation for the things carried by those merchant ships far away in the open sea.

It is said that when Li Mao and Zhang Jiuling were hurrying in the carriage, the team led by the four guards such as the ruthless pursuit had already rushed to Dongguan County, and then took out the token of Shouwangfu and directly took over the command of the Ship Division.

After they cooperated very well and transferred all their belongings, more than 1,000 sea patrol men and horses, and more than a dozen small sampans, the two of them were also a little dumbfounded on the spot.

"Boss, they're not even as good as ordinary fishermen! Do you think this harpoon means, just take these things and go to fight pirates? And the ship, if I'm not mistaken, it's decades old! Can you row out of the sea, the two of them said......"
