Bohai Sea. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"I didn't expect it to be foggy these days, which slowed down our trip."

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the white fog, and was irritable, since they entered the Bohai Sea, they had only been on a foggy day for a few days, and the visibility was less than three miles, and the sea was white and vast, and it was impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

"Xiao Qi, don't be impatient, this fog can be regarded as helping us, otherwise such a large fleet is likely to be discovered in Laizhou."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Moreover, it also allows the soldiers to adapt to the wind and waves at sea."

Xu Guanzhong felt the giant ship swaying with the waves, he was also the first time to go to sea, although he had made sufficient preparations before coming, but after the giant ship that was originally as stable as Mount Tai entered the sea, it was no longer as small as a leaf flat boat, it was completely a drop in the ocean, and the helplessness of the wind and waves without the power to resist made him tremble a little.

In the first few days of entering the sea, many soldiers on the ship had some symptoms of seasickness, but fortunately, they were all elites who had been trained for a long time, and it would be good to get used to it for a few days.

"Strategist, I'm in a hurry, we have to send the good news back as soon as possible, we can't make my brother wait for a long time!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a bitter face, he knew that no matter how anxious he was, it was useless, the fog on the sea was not something he could control.

"Complain less, do more! The fleet is now moving along the coast, and if you have nothing to do, take the charts and lead the way! ”

Ruan Xiaoer glared at Ruan Xiaoqi, because of the fog, their fleet did not dare to stay away from the coast, for fear of getting lost in the sea, they could only move slowly close to the coast.

But the greatest danger near the coast is not to be discovered, but to run aground and run aground, so they are day and night during this time, and the leaders take turns to drive the boat to explore the way ahead.

"Second brother, I'm not in a hurry! I'll go for a shift change later! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi replied.

"This matter is urgent, let's work steadily is the most important thing."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Strategist, there's a fishing boat ahead! There were about a dozen of them, all small boats, casting nets at sea to catch fish. ”

Bu Qing climbed the cable and jumped onto the boat to report.

"A dozen fishing boats?"

Ruan Xiaoer frowned, this is also a big trouble for navigating on the coast, fishermen on the beach rely on food, but because the boat is small, they generally dare not go too far from the sea, and they are easy to bump into near the coastline.

Liang Shan's current style of acting is biased towards the chivalrous people of the rivers and lakes, taking care of injustices and cleaning up when encountering wicked people, but he is not in the habit of killing ordinary people casually.

These dozen boats of fishermen can't all be killed, but if they are left alone, they will delay their trips and even risk exposure.

"The distance here has reached the territory of Dengzhou, surround those fishermen, and bring them all alive and bring them on the boat!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Bu Qing and said, today's forward fleet is Fei Bao's fourth fleet, and it shouldn't be a problem to take down more than a dozen fishing boats.

"Strategist, what do you want these fishermen to do?"

Ruan Xiaoqi asked suspiciously, isn't this taking the initiative to expose.

"Fishing at sea is a hundred times more dangerous than in rivers and lakes, and these fishermen have ventured into the sea to fish in just a few days after the fog, which shows the embarrassment of life."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that fishing at sea is already dangerous, and this kind of foggy weather is even more life-threatening to go to sea, which shows that these fishermen have no surplus food at home.

Fei Bao, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng each took their ships and scattered in a fan shape to surround the fishermen in front.

In the vast white fog, more than a dozen dilapidated small fishing boats are pulling nets to fish, and large nets are needed for sea fishing, and one or two people can't pull them at all, and it is extremely unsafe for several boats to go to sea on foggy days, so this fog makes the boats of the entire small fishing village dispatch.

The giant ship broke through the fog and slowly appeared around the fishing boat, and the fishermen who were still fishing were so frightened that they couldn't move, and they didn't know where the ship came from.

"Don't move, just be obedient, I won't kill you!"

Di Cheng looked at the stunned fishermen and shouted, there were already soldiers rowing small boats around them, and they didn't allow those fishermen to say anything.

Fei Bao and the others took the fishermen to the flagship.

"Are you local fishermen? Why go out to sea to fish in foggy weather! ”

At this time, Xu Guanzhong's pirate clothes, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi around him looked like sea bandits.

"You are...... Pirate! ”

Only then did the fishermen notice the skull flag on the mast, although they had never seen it, but the eerie murderous aura made the fishermen shudder.

"Yes, we're pirates from the South, answer my question!"

Xu Guanzhong asked coldly, he originally wanted to say that he came from the open sea, but as soon as he said that the open sea would become Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and it was easy to pretend to be a foreign race, so it was better to pretend to be a pirate from the south.

"The villain is a local fisherman, fishing on the beach all the year round, these days the fog is continuous, the villain does not go out to sea without eating, the bigger the fog, the more expensive the fish, so they venture out to sea to catch some fresh fish to sell in Dengzhou."

The leading fishermen said that they had to venture out to sea for the sake of the mouth of the lake.

"How far is this place from Dengzhou?"

Xu Guanzhong continued to ask.

"This place is Huang County, about fifty miles away from Dengzhou!"

A fisherman points along the coast.

"I heard that there is a sailor in Dengzhou?"

Xu Guanzhong asked again, since he was pretending to be a pirate, he naturally wanted to inquire about the garrison of Dengzhou, the largest port in the north.

"Yes, yes, there are more than 2,000 people in the east of Dengzhou, all in the swordfish village!"

The fishermen replied that they were familiar with the Dengzhou sailors.

"Knife Fish Village? Tell me what you know. ”

Xu Guanzhong asked.

"There are a lot of big ships, there are five of them, and there are a dozen smaller ones!"

The fisherman pointed to the loach warship next to him.

"You know very well?"

Xu Guanzhong was a little surprised to see that these fishermen answered without hesitation, these fishermen seemed to know too well about the swordfish village where the Dengzhou sailor was located.

"We are local fishermen, we can repair boats, and we have to go to Dengzhou every year to serve and repair boats."

The fishermen replied.

Xu Guanzhong nodded, this is to serve as a servant and repair the ship, no wonder it is so familiar.

"What about the islands of Salmon?"

Xu Guanzhong asked with a smile again, it is impossible for the local fishermen not to know about the islands of Salmon Island.

"Back to the king's words, it is a group of islands, there are countless islands, stretching for hundreds of miles, the largest of which are Shamen, Yuanji, Morning Glory, Big Bamboo, Small Bamboo, five islands. Among them, Salmon Island is the closest to Dengzhou, only ten miles, and it is the place where prisoners are distributed. ”

The fishermen replied that they had also been to that group of islands, and that it was good to go where to catch a fish when the weather was good.

"Are there any inhabitants on the rest of the islands except Salmon Island?"

Xu Guanzhong continued to ask.

"King, it's all a desert island, far away from the state capital, the island is full of rocks and trees, where can people live!"

The fishermen shook their heads and said that it was difficult to be self-sufficient on those islands, and it must be more comfortable to rely on the coastal state capital to survive.

"I'll let you go back, but you'd better pretend you didn't meet us, we remember this place, I hope you don't let us come again!"

Xu Guanzhong nodded with satisfaction, and then frightened the fishermen, they were pirates, and the fishermen who relied on the sea for food did not dare to offend them at all.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

A group of fishermen hurriedly pointed to the sea and swore an oath.

"Take them off the boat!"

As soon as Xu Guanzhong waved his hand, the soldiers took the fishermen off the boat.
