Chapter 396: Ship Robbery

Li Shen has already walked to the boundary of Henan Province at this moment, this way Li Shen is full of food, sleep and food, if he is not in a hurry,

It's definitely a walk-and-go trip.

But now it's just that you can't go, and you have to speed up, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up.

"Report to the ~~~~~ prince, the king is a secret letter." At this time, there was a report from outside.

Li Shen poked his head out of the window, took the secret letter handed over by the stone, and opened it to look at it carefully.

There was nothing important in the letter, Li Shen was about to go back, and he was not in a hurry, he only wrote one thing,

The spies at the port of Fuzhou reported that the family transported a large number of wooden boxes to the wharf, and the spies secretly checked them at night, and they were filled with unhulled grain.

After receiving the news, Wang Xuance guessed that the family should have hooked up with Goguryeo, because the envoy of Goguryeo had just arrived not long ago.

Moreover, Wang Xuance also reported a news that the governor of Fuzhou was the Xiao family and might send a naval army to escort him.

Li Shen fell into deep thought after reading the letter, there was always Diao Min who wanted to oppose me.

Then you all go to the sea to feed the fish, Li Shen himself ordered the pirates not to let a grain enter Goguryeo.

The Pirates have several large clippers, and there are many cargo ships that have been converted into warships. They were all bought by Li Shen when he asked people to go south.

Since you are aiding and abetting, then you will perish together.

"Speed up." Li Shen shouted outside.

! @#¥¥%……&……&

The Maison's ships had been sailing for most of the day, and the sky was slowly beginning to darken, and a mile away from them there was a large naval warship on the left, right, and front.

"Report to the general, a few merchant ships have been found ahead." A soldier came to report.

"What's so strange about merchant ships, there are merchant ships every day on this route." He is Xiao Ke's confidant, and he is also a clansman with the surname Xiao.

"General, their ship is moving very slowly." The soldier said.

"Okay, it's right to be slow at night, and we're slow." The Xiao general waved at the soldiers. He's just a lieutenant.

They didn't know that around them, more than a dozen large ships slowly approached, and three large clippers were followed far behind.

On the flying clipper ship in the middle, Zhao Derong personally came to command this time, and just when the family began to load the ship, someone went to Pirate Island to report to them.

They slowly searched the waterway early in the morning.

Although the sea is large, the shipping lanes near the sea are limited.

"Deputy Commander, when are we going to act?" Boss Cao asked Zhao Derong,

"Wait a little longer, now our ship is still far away from them, and it is getting closer. Tell the other two ships to drop fire oil bombs to attack the warships on the left and right as soon as possible,

The ships in front have already been ordered, and at the first opportunity, they will fire fire oil bombs at the ships in front. The others are fenced off first.

It would be great if you could get food. Zhao Derong took the binoculars and looked ahead through the afterglow of the sunset.

It didn't take long to see a light rise in front of me, and then explode in the sky. Immediately followed

"Bang~~~~".

Then the ships in front of them began to catch fire, and many fireballs flew towards the ship.

The clippers on the left and right had already accelerated into position, and when they saw the signal in front of them, they couldn't help but use their projectiles to throw fire bombs at the warships on both sides.

The three warships were caught off guard, so they suffered another dark loss.

They began to shoot arrows, projectiles, and other attacks at the pirates' ships.

Several of the housekeepers are stupid, how old is it that they have only been out for a while, are these thieves crazy?

Datang's navy dares to fight, aren't they afraid that Datang will send a more powerful navy to encircle and suppress them?

The two sides come and go, but the pirate side still has the advantage, because they use compound bows and crossbows, which are farther away than those of the navy.

Soon the fire overwhelmed the three warships, and countless soldiers jumped into the sea and swam to the grain ships next to them.

There were also many sailors on the twenty grain ships, and they also took out their weapons and bows and arrows and began to shoot at the pirates.

The pirates have formed an encirclement situation against the grain ship, and little by little they began to compress the space of the grain ship, and borrowed the resistance of the ship's board to start firing back at the grain ship.

"What to do, what to do," the Zheng family steward watched as the pirate group around him was slowly approaching, and the three Datang warships were already tilting and about to sink, and they were anxiously circling on the deck.

"Alas, this group of pirates is not a small group of pirates at all." Steward Lu said.

"Yes, there are so many ships, it should be a large thief." Steward Wang nodded in agreement.

"No, you didn't understand what Steward Lu meant, this is not a pirate group." The Cui family steward next to him said suddenly.

"It's not a pirate, what's that?" The king was puzzled.

"Look at the ships on both sides that are different in shape from the other ships, they are bigger than the others, they are warships, and they are ...... That's the warship of King Ji's Mansion!! At the end, Steward Cui's voice trembled a little.

He knew they were going to die this time. King Ji and their family were intolerant of fire and water, and the last time they smuggled grain to Tibet, no one came back.

This time was exactly the same as the time in Tibet, the imperial court ordered that grain should not be transported to Goguryeo, but they did it.

This matter was originally operated by King Ji's Mansion, and they wanted to take advantage of King Ji's light this time, and they wanted to pick up a bargain.

"It's no wonder that the grain ships of the Wa Kingdom have disappeared, but the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty have been unscathed, and those two ships are exactly the same as the ships built by King Ji in the dockyard of Chang'an.

At that time, some people in the clan thought that the pirates belonged to King Ji, but King Ji followed the prince to Goryeo, and he was not an unpredictable prophet of the Immortal Society, so he didn't think about it. Alas. Steward Cui sighed,

"I knew that they were the pirates of King Ji's Mansion, and the clan wouldn't be able to transport food, so what is good now." And the steward of the king also said,

One of the second-in-command of their Wang family, Yushitai, was easily taken down by King Ji. I also hate King Ji.

It's a pity that this prince doesn't participate in politics, he spends his days idle, eating, drinking and having fun, and the little mistakes he made can't bring down a prince at all, even if it's a gentleman in the city.

"Don't worry about what the old man said." At this time, the steward of the Wei family, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on Steward Wei,

"Everyone has seen the situation now, although we have brought more than 2,000 guards, but if the other party is ruthless and does not want this food, we will either be burned to death, or jump into the sea to feed the fish.

So what the old man means is to compromise first, and let's surrender. ”
