Chapter 383: How Can It Be Sure Of A Pirate?
"Brother Qingfeng, will there be anything wrong with the imperial sister?"
Above the endless ocean, Lin Bai stood on the deck and looked into the distance.
Xiao Jiu was also on the side, with a worried look on his face.
Lin Bai touched his head and comforted: "Don't worry, the mission has entered the Leaving Dynasty, and the third princess will definitely be fine." ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Jiu nodded.
Lin Bai looked at him, with some mixed feelings in his heart, and then let him go back to the cabin.
The deck is windy, and his physique is weak, if something goes wrong, Gu Linger will really look for him desperately.
At this time, Ji Xiaofeng walked over with two people, "My lord, it has been counted, there are a total of thirty sailors, and this is the captain of the ship......"
The boss of the boat called Lao Zhang, about forty years old, with dark skin, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Lin Bai.
His lieutenant is called Knife Head, and he has a scar on his face, which looks quite fierce.
However, the gaze that looked at Lin Bai was full of respect.
Lin Bai chatted with the two for a few words, and then learned that Lao Zhang had been in charge of this ship, but the knife head and more than half of the sailors were not the original sailors on the ship.
When the former sailors learned that the ship was going to Jinling, the distance was too long and too dangerous, and many people retreated.
Yan Wenliang recruited sailors from among the victims, and Daotou and others learned that it was Lin Bai who was going to take the boat, so they volunteered to come.
Because Lin Bai gave them a way to live, he didn't care even if he knew that there was danger.
Lin Bai was quite moved.
No matter what era, the common people are the most simple, there are not so many fancy intestines, if you are good to them, they will treat you better. m.
It's not like the court's deceit, it's too fucked.
After the two retreated, Lin Bai looked at Shen Poyu on the other side of the deck.
That's right! There are more than 300 soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, and the leader is Shen Poyu, who is also the escort commander of the Wu Dynasty mission this time, Gu Linger not only let Xiao Jiu follow, but also sent Shen Poyu, and she herself only left dozens of guards.
"General Shen, it's been a long journey."
Shen Poyu looked at him, his eyes were a little playful, "Lord Lin, why don't you show you a clear path by Shen?" ”
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment.
Shen Poyu continued: "Go back to the Wu Dynasty with Shen and bring your family. ”
The corners of Lin Bai's mouth twitched, this corner of the wall was dug, how come Jinling still doesn't know it, are you really good like this?
"General Shen is really joking."
Shen Poyu said: "Shen is not joking, as long as Lord Lin is willing, the Shen family guarantees that Lord Lin will definitely be more important in the Wu Dynasty than in the Li Dynasty." ”
"Moreover, Shen can also promote Lord Lin to become the concubine of the third princess, how about it?"
Nima, again?
This knot is talking to my brother about this?
Lin Bai was powerless to complain, "Thank you General Shen for your kindness, the third princess is of noble birth, Lin is afraid that she will not be able to climb high, and Lin is a person who has left the dynasty." ”
Shen Poyu smiled and said no more.
The ship rode the wind and waves all the way.
Two days later.
There is already an endless ocean all around, and the biggest fear of sea navigation in this era is to get lost, and once this happens, it is almost the end of it.
Fortunately, Lao Zhang and the knife head are very experienced, and they are also very keen in the prediction of wind and waves.
In addition, Shen Poyu also has several experts under him, which is very good.
After all, he is a real sailor and has a lot of experience, maybe it was because of this that Gu Linger was relieved to let Xiao Jiu follow.
At this time, Lin Bai was looking at it with a map of Kanyu.
Lao Zhang pointed to a certain area of the map and said, "It should be in this area." ”
The map is all land, and the sea is almost blank, and only some experienced boatmen can judge the approximate location by feeling.
Lin Bai looked at the head of the knife, and the latter also nodded.
Both of them can be sure that the direction should be fine, but other problems came, and the knife head said: "One more day, there will be pirates ahead." ”
Lao Zhang's face became a little ugly, he and Daotou are both veterans of running boats, the difference is that he is in the local area of Changjin County, and most of the places where he runs are nearby.
This is not the case with the Knife Head, who seems to be familiar with the entire sea.
I know a lot.
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "There are very few ships on the sea, why are there pirates?" ”
In fact, he has long had doubts about this question.
There was not much sea transportation from the DPRK, at least what he had learned for the time being, most of the sea was filled with fishermen, there was nothing to grab, and there was no living space for pirates at all.
"There were very few pirates in the past, and they have only increased in recent years. ”
After a pause, he added: "Actually, most pirates are boat gang fishermen, who usually fish, and when they see ships passing by, they become pirates. ”
Really!
Lin Bai was not surprised at all, he probably knew about it when he was ambushed in Qinghu last time.
It's just that I don't know if the boat gang in the other party's mouth is the same thing as the Qinghu boat gang.
Daotou said: "The boat gangs in various places are different, varied, each has its own dock, and it is very fierce, but I heard that in the past two years, a big man has gathered boat gangs from all over the country to coordinate the relationship between the boat gangs, and it is said that it has improved a lot." ”
"And this is only Hedong's generation, this generation has a hard time, and there are few merchant ships."
"But when it came to Jiangnan and Jiangdong, the generation was different, that generation was more prosperous, there were a lot of merchant ships, and there were more pirates."
Lin Bai really didn't know this.
There are so many pirates in that part of Jiangnan?
But it's right to think about it, not to mention it far away, just say that the Tianzhu hemp and spices trafficked by the Liu family are all from the sea.
Although maritime trade has not yet been opened on a large scale, there are still some in the nearby area.
As long as there is profit, someone dares to take risks.
The so-called pirates are probably a group of rabble, and families like the Liu family have a lot of guards, so they are naturally enough to deal with it.
Lin Bai has three hundred Wu Chao Sailors and Xu Da and his party, and safety is not a problem, as long as he doesn't get lost, everything else is easy to say.
Fortunately, so far everything is going well.
Two more days passed.
Sailing in the vast sea, after a long time, he was somewhat depressed, and the king of dry rice couldn't help it, not only because of this, but also because it was his cousin who had an accident.
"Brother-in-law, why hasn't it arrived yet? How many more days? ”
Lin Bai said: "I have already walked more than half of it, and if it goes well, it will be there in three days at most." ”
He was also anxious, what was the specific situation in Jinling, he couldn't receive any news on the ship at present, and there was no way to know.
One day later, Qin Kexin and Song Qianqian suffered one more day.
"Look! There are boats ahead. ”
At this time, someone exclaimed.
It's never easy to run into a ship at sea, and it's the first time these days.
Everyone looked at it.
"They seem to be coming towards us!" There is humanity.
Shen Poyu frowned slightly, and the soldiers around him, one by one, all pulled out their long knives.
The head of the knife also reminded loudly: "It's a pirate." ”
The King of Dry Rice looked confused and asked, "How can you be sure that it is a pirate from such a distance?" ”
Daotou said: "When sailing on the sea, each other will be wary of each other, and they will not approach rashly, and those who dare to approach so close will inevitably have bad intentions." ”
……
Some people died, but not completely......
