Chapter 394: Roger Pirates
Li Shen rode all the way with the escorts, and it took a day to come to the bank of the Liaoshui River.
Although I have a big sister to take care of me all the way, I can't stand my buttocks, and my back hurts from the bumps.
After crossing Liaoshui, Li Shen came to the military camp where he was stationed, where 2,000 men were left to guard the pontoon bridge.
Don't let people stab your ass when you don't know, that's a disaster.
In the barracks, Li Shen saw the luxurious carriage he was thinking about, and rushed over without saying anything.
It was getting late, and Li Shen needed to spend the night again and go on the road the next day.
Li Shen was lying in the wide carriage, with a soft futon under him, and a fragrant big sister lying next to him, Li Shen really wanted to shout comfort.
On the second day, Li Shen set out on the journey back to Chang'an in his sleep.

On the sea east of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, two huge warships were chasing a cargo ship, and the speed of the two warships was obviously much faster than the cargo ship.
On the masts of the two ships hung a skull flag with white characters on a black background, fluttering in the wind.
Little by little, the two ships narrowed the distance between themselves and the cargo ship, and soon caught up with the cargo ship.
The sailors on the cargo ship were also not afraid of danger, each with a weapon in his hand, shouting something at the two pursuing ships.
"Boss, what are they calling them?" A sailor-looking man asked another swarthy man.
The strong man was dark-skinned, his face was covered with stubble, and one eye was covered with a round leather.
He wears a hat on stilts and a long knife with a round handle at his waist.
"How do I know, but since I don't understand, it's not us Datang people, send a signal to prepare a bow and arrow shooting." The boss said.
His subordinates immediately went to convey the order, and two large ships, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched the merchant ship in the middle, and the distance was only ten feet.
On the side of the merchant ship, the side of the ship was full of archers, waiting for the order of the archer meter.
"Lao Tzu doesn't care what you say, quickly lay down your arms and surrender, spare you from death, otherwise, feed you to the fish together." The boss began to shout at the merchant ship.
"Are you the Roger Pirates who have been running amok here lately?" A man who looked like a nobleman on the ship asked.
"That's right, we are the Roger Pirates, and those who know each other should surrender quickly." The boss said arrogantly.
"I wonder if I can meet your leader?" The aristocratic merchant asked again.
"Are you wasting our time? Our head is the one you can meet? If I'm not mistaken, you should be Japanese, right?
We even robbed the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty, will we spare you a widow? Surrender quickly, don't waste your tongue. "The boss was a little impatient.
"I just want to make a deal with you, we can pay you tolls, can you let us go." The nobleman saw that the other party was a little impatient, and hurriedly stated the purpose.
"No way, you're transporting food, we need it." The boss refused, then raised a hand to the cargo ship,
"Shoot."
The flag-bearer on the mast waved the flag a few times, and then he heard a constant whooshing sound, and shot more than a dozen people on the spot.
Everyone else began to duck into the cabin.
"Come over and board the boat. Don't be careful, it's all food, don't be like last time, don't blame me when you get punished. The Boss reminded.
These subordinates are sometimes neither light nor heavy.
The battle was soon over, and those who resisted were killed, and the rest were tied up and thrown into the warehouse.
"Ship it back, ship it back," the boss was excited, this time he could finally offset the mistake he made last time.
The crew threw the carcasses into the sea to feed the fish, and the two ships escorted the merchant ship south, where a small island served as their base.
This is located hundreds of miles away from the coast of Datang, three small islands are connected, and the Roger Pirates began to build a large number of buildings after arriving here.
There is a natural cave here, and the people who have returned from the robbery of the Roger Pirates have been arranged to work here.
The Boss's ship slowly approached the second island and drove down the cavern, where a large space had been carved out.
At this moment, there are many ships parked inside, and there are merchant ships and warships.
Their ships soon docked at the pier that had been built,
"Boss Cao, how did you gain this time? Hey, hey, and got a merchant ship back, and you've made up for it this time. ”
As soon as the people on the boat got off the boat, someone next to them greeted the boss, and they heard that the boss's surname was Cao.
"Erhuzi, when did you come back, didn't you say that you were asked to go to Silla?" When Boss Cao saw the speaker, he immediately greeted him.
"I also just came back, and there are too many supplies, so I sent them all back and replenished some supplies."
Erhuzi also said enthusiastically to Boss Cao.
The two are very familiar at first glance.
Boss Cao said goodbye after greeting Erhuzi for a few words, and he still needs to report the situation to the deputy head of the regiment.
After turning a few corners, he came out of the cave and took a small boat to the third island, where he was greeted by many acquaintances along the way.
When he came to the main hall, Boss Cao began to shout;
"Deputy Commander, this time I have made up for it, and I have brought back a boatload of food and more than two dozen prisoners."
"Hmph, forget it this time, take a break, and continue to set off. This time we received news that there would be a batch of merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty to transport grain to Goguryeo.
The prince said, not a grain of grain is allowed to reach Goguryeo, you are still in charge of your area, if something goes wrong, you can jump into the sea and feed the fish yourself. ”
The deputy head of the regiment warned that he was Zhao Derong, who led the team to bring back grain for the first time, the fourth in line, and the deputy head of the pirate group formed by the palace.
As for the head of the regiment, Li Shen shamelessly named himself Roger and served as the head of the regiment.
Zhao Derong knew that the prince of their family would not really play the game of robbery with them, but just put on a name, he was the real person in charge of the Roger Pirates.
"Deputy head of the regiment, rest assured, I, Cao, will never live up to the expectations of the prince, if someone can transport food out of my jurisdiction, I am willing to jump into the sea to feed the fish." Boss Cao patted his chest and reassured.
"This time, you need to pay attention, our spies at the dock reported that this batch of grain seems to belong to the family clan, and they must have many guards.
No matter what means, they can't be allowed to get the food there. This time it was allowed not to have food, but it really didn't work, so the ship was burned with oil bombs. ”
Zhao Derong told him that he didn't want to disappoint the prince or be punished.
"Don't worry, deputy head of the regiment, it doesn't matter what kind of family he is, we are the kings at sea, didn't the prince say it, we are the men who want to be the king of the pirates."
