Song Wen went to the appointment on time and came to the Denghai Tower in the north city of Dengzhou.

Compared with the main store of the restaurant in Bianliang, this two-story building looks shabby, Zhang Huan came out in a robe with two wealthy gentlemen to greet him, and the guest and host politely sat down.

After all, they are not very familiar, Zhang Huan and two friends carefully inquired about the customs of things in Bianliang, Song Wen was born in the market, and he gave a few turtle boys a good science popularization of Bianliang's Wazi Street, Baifan Building, Pan Lou, and various gardens and other prosperous places and various places of fun, and the three guys were fascinated and amazed.

When the dishes were served, Song Wen was disappointed...... There are few large marine fish, and there is no trace of ginseng abalone fins. However, there is a comparison between the raw mixed fish and the red silk crystal of Bianliang, but it has a fishy smell.

Fortunately, a few small crabs were steamed and served, and there was a maid next to her who carefully peeled off the crabs to take meat for Song Wen...... But what's the point of eating crabs if you don't have the fun of doing it yourself?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the topic came to the bandits near Dengzhou...... The two companions boasted for a while, Zhang Yanei, a young hero, followed his father Zhang to command the navy into the sea to suppress bandits, and wiped out the bandits entrenched on the island of Sanxian on the sea in a battle...... Zhang Ya also killed a bandit leader with his own hands, which is a great achievement!

Song Wen asked curiously, and only then did he know...... After entering the sea north of Dengzhou, the large and small islands have been stretched to Liaodong, where there are many Koreans, Bohai people, and even Japanese people!

These guys are all outlaws, and they are also businessmen and bandits, with hundreds of ships of all sizes in their hands, going back and forth between the Great Song Dynasty of Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and they will rob if they can fight, and do business if they can't...... Slippery and shameless.

Zhang Huan pointed to a few women who cautiously lowered their eyebrows and said, "Let's just say that they, according to the previous dynasty, are the famous Silla maids...... is obedient to men, and his personality is very pleasing. Actually, they were all women who were looted from Goryeo......"

Nani? After engaging in it for a long time, the soft and weak little girl next to me was actually the kimchi girl of the first country in the universe in the future?

Ooh...... Song Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head slightly indifferently...... When was this small country not like this? Whoever is strong and powerful will kneel under his feet! In later generations, the white-skinned people were arrogant, didn't these guys also kneel and lick in every possible way, turning their heads and grinning at the former suzerain?

Anyway, I haven't stood up for thousands of years, and I'm used to kneeling.

Zhang Huan was proud, and finally sighed and said: "It's a pity, there are a total of twelve Wuya battleships, thirty-one shuttle clippers, and two Wuya battleships and seven clippers that sank...... The navy soldiers lost more than 300 people! ”

Several people sighed in unison and toasted the fallen soldiers.

Song Wen was shocked......

What kind of bandit is this? Why is it so terrifying? The Wuya battleship, I seem to have read this kind of standard naval equipment in the Tang and Song dynasties in the book, and it seems that there is a weapon with a slap pole or something, which sounds very bullish...... Can you be sunk by some pirates?

If the pirates in the north have such combat power, wouldn't it be a fool's dream to think of their own hope of quietly building a strong naval army?

Seeing Song Wen's face change drastically, Zhang Huan asked curiously: "Brother Song Xian, what's wrong?" Could it be that you haven't been in battle and don't like to hear about these fights? ”

Song Wen shook his head, and An Chun next to him replied: "A few sons, my family Langjun led a group of subordinates to sixty and two hundred in Taoshan County to exterminate a group of bandits who wandered between the three roads in one fell swoop, and even pulled a carriage and sent it to the county government to ask for merit!"

The three guys immediately touted it, Zhang Huan seemed to be very convinced, and the other two guys seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Song Wen gently pushed away the wine brought by the maid next to him and asked, "What is the origin of the Wujia bandits?" How could they compete with the naval army of the imperial court and sink so many warships? Could it be that the bandits near the Bohai Sea are so fierce?

Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a sigh: "Actually, it's not that those bandits are strong, but that our Dengzhou naval warships are in disrepair, and there are fewer and fewer experienced sailors over the years...... Alas, this time it was a strong wind and waves, and the battleships were sunk by huge waves and crosswinds! As for the bandits...... In total, 50 people have not been killed in battle, and more than 700 soldiers have landed on the island to fight and exterminate more than 300 thieves, and they have lost so many people. ”

Oh, I see...... It's been a long time, and it's still Gao Yu's sin.

Song Wen only felt that his old face was a little hot, but now he came out to deceive under the banner of Gao Yu, that old thing doesn't do anything, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will affect himself.

However, Song Wen knew that it was unrealistic to expect the Sanya and the Privy Council to come out in terms of the allocation of food and salaries, as well as the maintenance of naval warships and so on, after all, these funds and food expenses still had to be directly allocated in the financial endowment of the local state capital.

However, Jingdong East Road is now poor and virtuous, and it is a pipe dream to expect the governor of Dengzhou and the government treasury to take money and grain out.

sighed with emotion, and finally everyone returned happy.

After all, without a person with a real powerful position attending, Song Wen would be useless even if he wanted to find some business opportunities.

Song Wen drank very well, and when he saw that Zhang Huan was a little drunk on the horse, he took An Chun and the calm guard to help escort Zhang Huan all the way back to the Zhang family's house in the state city.

As soon as the evening breeze blew, Zhang Huan was already a little shaky, and he was still muttering words of envy to Song Wen for being comfortable in the fancy world of Bianliang, but Song Wen didn't say anything and just silently made his own plans.

Suddenly, a thin woman ran out of the street corner, and her face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, and the woman seemed to be a little flustered when she saw the big horses in front of her, and fell to the side of the road with a scream.

Song Wen glanced up, and suddenly heard a gust of wind above his head!

An Chun was alarmed, so he raised his hand and pulled out the saber hanging next to the saddle and slashed out......

A sturdy fishing net fell from the sky and covered Song Wen who walked in the middle!

An Chun in front of him slashed out, but he didn't split the fishing net, and when he saw this, he hurriedly hit his horse and pounced to protect Song Wen. I heard a hoarse voice sound...... "Catch him, don't kill him!" My brother was captured by the navy, and I want to exchange Zhang Huan's life for my brother's life......"

Nima ...... Caught the wrong one!

The black light was blinding, and it was obvious that this group of people was coming for Zhang Huan, and as soon as Song Wen was about to scream, he felt a violent shock on the back of his head...... Then he fell down with a plop, and a figure in the oblique stab jumped out, grabbed Song Wen's clothes, wrapped him in a fishing net, carried him on his shoulder, turned around and ran.

Another black shadow on the side put away the scabbard that stunned Song Wen, turned around and followed, shouting as he ran: "Clean up these dog-legged followers, don't leave the tail......"

The other two black-clothed men over there brandished short knives and pounced on An Chun and Zhang Huan's master and servant, An Chun's eyes were red and he kicked the horse, and the horse's hooves with a big bowl mouth fell hard, and a man in black couldn't dodge and was kicked in the shoulder on the spot!
