Chapter 205: Going to Sea and Encountering Pirates The Third Update!
The sea, vast and boundless, insignificant, turbulent, boundless!
On the docks of the Haixi Dynasty, there are many boats, large and small, and many people begging for food on the water are busy here all day long.
Because the dynasty had to rely on the entry and exit of the wharf, it collected high taxes on ships as one of the important revenues of the dynasty.
Therefore, the army of the Haixi Dynasty is stationed on this dock!
When Yao Yue, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei arrived at this dock, they immediately felt a fishy smell coming to their nostrils.
Anywhere near the sea, there will be a large number of fish, shrimp and other creatures.
Many civilians rely on fishing these fish and shrimp to earn the money they need to live!
Guan Changyun looked at the sea and took the lead in shouting, "It's really magnificent, I feel much more comfortable when I look at it!"
Zhang Mengfei also smiled on the side, "Yes, when I see this sea, I feel that we are so small."
"Don't be emotional, go and ask if there is a ship to the Yaoyang Dynasty, and you two horses are going to be sold, the ship should not carry horses," Yao Yue said with a smile.
"The boss is right, but what about Xiao Hei?" Guan Changyun asked rhetorically.
"Xiao Hei naturally came with us, if they didn't put Xiao Hei on the boat, then we had to take the land route!" Yao Yue responded.
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei also understood the importance of Xiao Hei to Yao Yue, so they didn't ask any more.
They approached one of the ships and inquired about the boatman's voyage.
After asking, they knew that not all ordinary ships went to the Shining Sun Dynasty, only some ships that had been doing business with the Shining Sun Dynasty for a long time did go, and the travel price was very expensive!
As far as price is concerned, Yao Yue and others are naturally not a problem.
In the end, a ship was found that was going to go to the Shining Sun Dynasty tomorrow, and the other party mainly had merchants transporting some goods to the Shining Sun Dynasty.
Since there are vacant seats, they will also take some people to the Shining Sun Dynasty along the way, so as to earn some more income.
The steward of the ship saw that Yao Yue and the three of them were relatively young and dressed a little sloppily, but he did not underestimate Yao Yue and the others, but guessed that the other party might be a cultivator from some family.
He opened his mouth and offered a high price, which was twice as much as that of ordinary people.
Yao Yue and the three of them didn't have much experience, and they didn't care about the money, so they readily agreed.
However, when Yao Yue said that he wanted to take the horse together, the steward's face was not good-looking.
"Uncle, I only carry one horse, the price is not a problem!" Yao Yue also knew that the other party was embarrassed, so he took out five hundred gold yuan and shook it in front of the steward.
The steward's eyes lit up, but he still suppressed his greed and said, "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help, but our ship carries cargo and people, if you carry your horse, if you go crazy, then something will happen, and I really can't help it! Besides, like your pony, it's not worth much, I think it's better to sell it directly, and then go to sea!"
"I can't sell the horse, it's my brother, besides, I can guarantee that it won't run around, do you think this will work? If it doesn't work, I can only go by land!" Yao Yue shook his head and answered, and then took out a golden ticket for 1,000 gold yuan!
Now the steward's heart blossomed, but he still made a reluctant look and said, "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, little brother, I will help you this time, but you must take care of your horse, if something happens, don't blame us for throwing it into the sea!"
"You can rest assured of this, as long as no one provokes it!" Yao Yue nodded.
"Alright, we'll sail early tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, you should come early!" replied the steward.
After Yao Yue gave a deposit of 100 gold yuan to the manager, he took Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei to the nearby place where the horses were purchased and sold the horses that Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were riding.
These two horses are just ordinary horses, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei naturally have nothing to be nostalgic for!
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yao Yue, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei came to the dock again, and after they had paid enough gold yuan, they could board the ship.
There were a total of five large ships that sailed to the Shining Sun Dynasty.
These five big ships are all planted with flags and benchmarks, proving that these ships are escorted by a certain force!
Now there is a whale's head on the flag above the five large boats, and there are a few lines floating like waves, which means that this is the ship protected by the whale gang.
The Whale Gang is a gang that provides protection for merchant ships that trade back and forth, and is quite famous at sea, and the average pirate will give them some face and will not come to rob the goods.
With this layer of protection, some businessmen still dare to take the sea route.
Yao Yue and the three of them were pressed to the last ship.
This ship was mostly stocked with some sundries, as well as a few people who were also going to the Yaoyang Dynasty.
Since the little black is a horse, it still looks a little small, but it is much stronger than it was before, so it is impossible for him to get into the cabin, and can only stay on the deck.
Yao Yue didn't want Xiao Hei to have any accidents, so he asked Xiao Liuzi to stay outside the deck with him.
They are all demon beasts, even if they have been exposed to the sun and rain outside the deck, nothing will happen in a short time.
In this way, they began to return to the Radiant Sun Dynasty with the ships.
Yao Yue and the three of them also had a rare leisure on the boat, except for the occasional meditation and cultivation, most of them went outside the boat to watch the scenery on the sea.
It's just that after they stayed on the ship for three days in a row, they felt a little stuffy and panicked!
Looking at such a rippling sea water, it is no longer as beautiful as a few days ago, but I feel that it is all the same, and I am a little bored.
They had to shift most of their time to cultivation.
Now that Yao Yue has refined many Yuan Stones, he has finally reached the peak of the lower-grade Great Demon, and he only has to take another kind of medium-grade Great Demon Blood and its key parts of the demon material to go further.
However, Yao Yue didn't dare to break through here, otherwise it would attract a thunderstorm, and the ship would be blown to pieces, and they would all be buried in the sea at that time!
Yao Yue also felt that he had just reached the peak of the inferior Great Demon, and it was better to break through after a while, so as not to have any impact on his foundation.
In addition, Yao Yue also completely consolidated the realm of Xia Pinyuan.
After a long day's journey, the ship was about to merge into the river and head towards the Radiant Sun Dynasty, but it was met by a pirate who intercepted it.
The merchants on the ship were a little frightened, for fear that the other party would come up and rob and kill!
However, when the pirates saw that they were members of the Sea Whale Gang, they did not immediately act rashly.
The person in charge of the Sea Whale Gang stepped forward and handed over some gold yuan to the other party, which was regarded as a toll, and he was ready to let him go.
Unexpectedly, the intercepted pirate leader suddenly asked the people of the Sea Whale Gang, "Which of your merchants are running for the Imperial Dynasty?"
The person in charge of the Sea Whale Gang replied, "Imperial Nangong Firm!".
"It's actually the goods of the Nangong Firm, so it can't be released!" the pirate leader shouted in a changed tone.
"Master Chu, what do you mean by this?" the head of the Sea Whale Gang shouted in a deep voice.
Chu Tianhe is the name of the pirate leader, an acquired master with the strength of a high-grade general, in his early forties, dressed in a water back, holding a tiger-shaped broadsword, quite imposing.
The person in charge of the Sea Whale Gang is a deputy gang leader of the Sea Whale Gang, who is also a high-grade general, named Xing Yifeng, who is a few years older than Chu Tianhe, and looks a lot older.
Both of them are characters who often walk on the sea, and the two sides have already dealt with each other many times, and they can be regarded as old acquaintances.
Now Chu Tianhe suddenly wanted to intercept the goods they were escorting, which really made Xing Yifeng quite puzzled!
Chu Tianhe slashed his tiger-shaped broadsword on the deck with a big grin and said, "Old Punishment, you and I are acquaintances, you have secured the goods that should not be insured this time, for the sake of acquaintance, you will leave the goods, I won't embarrass you!"
"Hmph, if that's the case, wouldn't the reputation of our Sea Whale Gang be damaged, and then who will let our Sea Whale Gang bodyguards take the goods, you will cut off our financial route!" Xing Yifeng snorted coldly.
Although there are four ships in Chutianhe, there are at least one or two hundred people under his command, which is only a lot more than the number of people on their side, but when it comes to fighting, they may not be afraid.
It's just that this is a lose-lose situation, and he thinks that Chu Tianhe shouldn't take this risk!
Who knew that Chu Tianhe looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, I have already given you the face of the Sea Whale Gang, if you are not interested, don't blame us for not giving you a way to live!"
"Then you're really going to block our way?" Xing Yifeng frowned.
"I'll say it again, we only need the goods of the Nangong firm!" Chu Tianhe shouted a little impatiently.
At the same time, he waved at the other boats, signaling them to surround them.
Xing Yifeng could see that Chu Tianhe was really going to rob the goods this time, so he had to call out to the people in the cabin, "Your Excellency Nangong, what do you think of this matter?"
At this moment, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man stepped out of the cabin.
This person is short in stature, slightly chubby, and gives people a natural rich appearance, it is Nangong Rong, the uncle of Nangong Cai, and the manager in charge of overseas goods transactions.
Nangong Rong arched his hand at Chu Tianhe, showed a friendly smile and said, "In Xia Nangong Rong, I don't know how our Nangong firm offended the Chu family, I will make amends to you here, here are 100,000 golden tickets, how about inviting wine to your friends?"
Nangong Rong is also generous, 100,000 golden tickets are not a few, enough for the other party's gang to spend for a while.
"Hehe, I want the golden ticket, the goods want it, the Lang'ers, lean over for me, whoever dares to resist and kill will not be forgiven!" Chu Tianhe said with a cruel smile.
Immediately after, he urged the ship he was on to move towards Nangong Rong's ship.
Originally, they were not far apart, and they approached in a few blinks of an eye.
Chu Tianhe took the lead, carrying his tiger-shaped broadsword, and jumped towards the opposite boat.
Several people around him also jumped in time at the same time.
Xing Yifeng exclaimed, "Everyone prepare for me to meet the enemy!"
For a moment, everyone on the ship here became very nervous.
