"Looks like it's not just an Imperial warship."

Lian Watson's slightly emotional voice came from beside him, which surprised Xie Lingchan for a moment, and continued to look in the direction of the warship.

After a while, Xie Lingchan finally saw clearly that after the first warship, dozens of dense black spots appeared.

It was a series of frigates of size, surrounding the first mothership.

Xie Lingchan reacted at this time, what did Huasheng's words mean.

This is indeed not a simple imperial warship, but a fleet group with large-scale combat capabilities!

"How did the Empire's fleet group end up here? Second, has the situation in Shanhai changed again? Or is it just an ordinary military move...... And we ran into it."

Xie Lingchan had doubts in her heart, and inexplicably felt that this matter was a little unusual.

You must know that the routes of the emperor and the merchant ships on the endless ocean, although in general, are mostly the same.

But the sea is so big and vast, even if there is the positioning of the astrological compass, it is impossible to say so accurately that everyone is driving along the same trajectory.

What's more, most of the time sailing is to travel a certain distance in a general direction, and then correct the direction according to the corresponding coordinates, rather than being extremely accurate in one step.

"Coming towards us," Mama Xie's voice was calm.

In the cabin of the cargo ship, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward hurriedly walked out of the cabin, first saluted Mama Xie, and then directed a group of people to prepare.

For the scene in front of her, Xie Lingchan had heard of it.

The emperor's first-class ships are rampant on the endless ocean, which is also the confidence of these merchant ships to trade at sea.

Because on this endless ocean, in addition to the first and second mountains and seas that have been discovered by the empire, there are also many islands.

These islands have either evolved naturally from fragments of the continent, or they have been born by the children of some mountains.

In some places, island nations have even formed on the island chain.

In short, if there are islands, then there is naturally a breeding ground for such things as pirates.

However, no matter what pirate encounters the Imperial fleet, as long as you have poor eyesight and surrender a little slower, it is basically the end of a cannonball coming at the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Therefore, the first thing these merchant ships did when they encountered the Imperial fleet was to quickly prove their identity.

Prove that you are not a pirate in disguise.

Of course, with the Empire's technology, it's still easy to tell if you're a pirate or not.

But the attitude on your side must be made.

Otherwise, those neuropathies in the emperor's *** department will be an unhappy nerve.

sink you there, and there is nowhere to reason in this vast sea.

In addition, even the emperor ship sometimes bears the responsibility of supervising the ship.

For example, there are some things that are strictly forbidden to be transported to the second mountain and sea.

If these masters on the fleet are in a good mood, they will also come down to check and check.

If there is no contraband, then naturally everything is fine. ….

Of course, this is the usual situation, if you encounter some miscellaneous troops, sometimes whether there is contraband on the ship, it depends on whether the thickness of the red envelope is enough to meet this limit.

However, Xie Lingchan: The fleet they are encountering now is obviously too regular to be more regular.

With a warship group of this size, this is clearly the elite of the empire!

The rumbling sound grew closer.

The terrifying giant ship broke through the waves of the sea, and in a posture of rampage and no one could stop it, it came towards the cargo ship.

The speed alone exceeded more than three times that of Xie Lingchan's cargo ship.

And the all-metal hull reflected jet black light in the sun, and the dense gun muzzles were particularly hideous.

See here

, Xie Lingchan couldn't help but mourn in silence for the pirates above the endless ocean.

No wonder she'd heard that piracy is a high-risk profession, and that there are basically no pirates on the Imperial route, unless you divert to another island.

If you run into the emperor ship, you won't be able to run five nautical miles first.

People don't even have to open fire, just hit it, and your entire ship can go straight into the battle.

And when the huge fleet group approached less than a kilometer away from them, Xie Lingchan really felt that the majesty of the fleet, the steel giants were rampant on the sea, bringing people an extreme sense of oppression.

Fortunately, these warships didn't seem to have any intention of sinking them, and Xie Lingchan was slightly relieved when she found that their course was slightly deflected, and they should have passed by them.

"What do these warships seem to be dragging behind them?"

Xie Lingchan saw that the mothership led by her, and the dozens of large warships that followed, stretched out hundreds of thick chains to the sea, dragging something in the sea.

Huge shadows cover almost hundreds of square meters of the sea.

Because the giant moves on the bottom of the sea, the entire surface of the sea is slightly shaken.

It seemed to be a spherical thing.

A weapon developed by the Empire? Or something else?

Xie Lingchan couldn't help but guess.

Immediately afterward, she found that the Imperial fleet had no intention of slowing down, carrying the huge waves past them, and sailed away into the distance without looking back.

"Ignored."

Xie Lingchan said in her heart.

But also, this fleet obviously seems to have some special mission, how can they care about these small fish and shrimp.

It's just that for some reason, she inexplicably felt that when the fleet passed, the sea breeze had a little more scorching meaning.

And when she looked intently at the sea, she saw that a large number of bubbles suddenly rose on the surface of the sea, as if boiling, and many dead fish floated out of it.

"What a big scene," Lian Watson sighed, "which big man is traveling?" Are you going to the second mountain and sea?"

"These warships are from the imperial capital," Mama Xie said as she looked at the warships in the distance, and then glanced at Lian Huasheng, "Seeing what sank under the sea just now, don't you recognize who it is?"

"Master Xie, what do you mean?" Lian Watson asked with a smile, "The director of the Imperial Capital's Bureau of Prevention and Suppression?"

"At this ordinary time, he won't leave the imperial capital easily, and he also brought an exclusive weapon over, it seems that the second mountain and sea are going to be lively."

…………

And at the moment.

The second mountain and sea.

In the Taiping City, above an attic.

The Taiping Daoist and Jiang Yu sat opposite each other, and there was a banquet on the table.

"I heard that, you are the disciple of the director of the anti-suppression bureau in the imperial capital?" The Taiping Daoist asked.

Jiang Yu didn't speak, just looked at the Taiping Dao Master.

"Don't be so nervous, I have no ill will towards that kid," the Taiping Dao Master said, "but I can't let you ......take him away until we have completed our plan for the Yellow Heaven Prosperous Age."

It's raining outside
