CHAPTER 50: BLACKWIND
In the blink of an eye, it was already the seventeenth.
Although it was a sunny day on the 17th, it was very windy at night.
The wind blew the trees on both sides of the Yangtze River crying like ghosts.
Shizhong Mountain, which has a magnificent and beautiful scenery and is known as the "key to the rivers and lakes", stands on the bank of the Yangtze River.
Shizhong Mountain is not a very tall mountain, but it must be a very famous mountain.
It is famous because of Su Dongpo's "The Story of Shizhong Mountain".
At this time, because the wind is too strong, in the cave under Shizhong Mountain, the sound of "banging" is endless.
This kind of sound, far away and cold, is enough to shock the heavens and the earth.
At this time, there is a bright moon in the sky.
The cold moonlight is shining on the river.
At this time, at the foot of Shizhong Mountain and above the Yangtze River, there were suddenly six more big ships.
There is nothing special about these six big ships.
It's just that on the bulkheads of each ship, there are characters painted with black paint that no one can understand - UNO, DOS, TRES, CUATRO, CINCO, SEIS.
There is nothing special about these six big ships.
It's just that these six ships are so big that you have never seen such a big ship since you were born.
These six great ships came from the far east.
As soon as I walked out of the Yangtze River and came to the foot of Shizhong Mountain, I walked on the boat at the front with "UNO" written on the bulkhead, and suddenly someone raised a big flag on the flagpole.
It's a big white flag.
The cold moonlight is also shining on this flag.
From a distance, you can see a large red bear's paw painted on the flag, and under this bear's paw, two lines of large characters - "BLACK IND" are written.
The speed of the advance of these six ships was fast.
As soon as they came to the bottom of the cliff of Shizhong Mountain, the speed of these boats seemed to be faster than just now, because the sound of the waterwheel hitting the water surface on the boat was louder than before, and the splash was also higher.
Maybe the people on the boat didn't like the constant and deafening sound on the cliff face.
Because the people on this ship came from far overseas, they had neither heard of Shi Zhongshan's name nor read Su Dongpo's "The Story of Shi Zhongshan".
Therefore, they simply did not understand the cause of this bell-like sound on the cliff.
They were going to drive away from the place quickly, away from the strange sounds that kept them calm and happy.
But when these boats just sailed to the middle of the cliff of Shizhong Mountain, more than ten black shadows suddenly burst out from the black hole on the cliff wall of the lake shore.
These more than ten black shadows, as fast as bats, swept straight towards the six big ships in the lake.
In the blink of an eye, these more than ten figures had already reached the sky above these ships, and then they fell lightly on the ship with the white flag "UNO" written on it like falling leaves.
They seemed to be absolutely sure that the leader of this fleet was on this ship.
On this ship, a series of exclamations soon came.
Then there were the sounds of fighting, of swords, of heads falling into the water, of tables and chairs overturning, and of screams that grew louder than the other.
But the voices soon stopped.
All the sounds stopped completely, as if there had never been any accidents on this ship.
However, at this time, there were suddenly seven more dead people on the deck outside the white flag.
In the cabin, the lights are bright.
There is a long table in the cabin.
This table is full of wine and food.
Around the table, there are more than a dozen chairs.
Although several chairs had been knocked over, the table had not yet been overturned, only a few dishes on the table had been knocked over on the deck.
At the long table, there were now nine people seated.
Sitting at the top was a man with blue eyes, curly hair, a pointed chin, and two mustaches.
This man was wearing a loose and fat bright blue silk robe with red trim. In this robe, where it is located on the chest, a few words are embroidered with white thread - "I am a piece of".
On his head, the man wore a red hat as long as a bucket. On the top hat, there are seventeen or eighteen dazzling beads.
Everyone who walked into this cabin must have been able to see that there must have been thirteen people in this cabin just now, eating, drinking, and having fun.
But now these men did not drink and have fun, for four men had fallen, and nine men had a knife or a sword around their necks.
The four people who fell, whoever they were, could be assured that they would never drink a drop of wine from this world again, and that they would never have any fun again. for they have all had their throats cut off.
The four people who fell down all had a long sword in their hands.
They had intended to use their long swords to cut the throats of those who had suddenly rushed into the cabin. It's a pity that they didn't get what they wanted, and their throats were cut by others.
The nine people who were still sitting at the table had no interest in drinking and having fun at all when they were put swords around their necks.
These people with swords in their hands are not others, but Du Shenfei and Duan Hanyan, Yu Coaoxian, Jiang Xin Qiuyue, Sun Wukong, Nanmen Laodao, He Laomi, Miao Fuqin, Feng Muyang, Mao Xiaoxiao, Huang Chujiu, these eleven people who are not bad at light body kung fu.
Huang Chujiu is really a very capable and reliable person.
He only needed to give an order, and in just one day, the Sand Boat Gang had found the fleet from Spain on the Yangtze River.
Then, they soon had a complete understanding of the details of the fleet.
The fleet consisted of 264 sailors, 39 escorts, and 12 petty chiefs.
The head of the fleet was named Hadru.
This man with a mustache and a tall hat was Hadrew.
Hadru is 34 years old, has 16 wives and no sons, and works for BLACKIND, Spain's notorious human trade organization.
HE HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE ORGANIZATION "BLACKIND" FOR EIGHT YEARS AND THREE MONTHS.
Therefore, he has been engaged in human trade for at least eight years.
In the past eight years, he has been a very experienced navigator, and he has made eleven voyages to China to buy people from the Eagle's Nest Imperial Palace.
This time, the twelve assistants he brought were all capable men who had followed him for at least five years. Two of them, in particular, have been working with him for eight years.
The names of these two men are Victor and Juan.
These people, each and every one of them has gotten everything they want through this business.
Whether it's money, mansions, or beautiful women, they have earned enough.
So they are already satisfied with everything about themselves.
They also love their job. They are determined to continue the work of the population trade.
With the full support of these capable men, Andrew was able to roam the route he frequented, and few pirates dared to come to him for trouble.
In particular, a confrontation that took place on "Serpentine Island" four years ago made the lawless pirates even more frightened. As soon as they see this large white flag with "BLACKIND" written on it, the pirates will definitely choose to flee from the wind.
Why?
Because on this "Serpent King Island", Andrew's fleet almost wiped out a group of pirates.
The pirates were named "Sharks".
"Shark" is the most well-organized, most numerous, and most well-armed pirate organization in this sea area.
But the "shark" was destroyed at the hands of Andrew.
Therefore, in the past few years, Andrew has become famous in this sea, and no pirates dare to invade again.
As for the Eagle's Nest Imperial Mansion, the person who is usually responsible for the one-line contact with Hadrew is a person nicknamed "Big-eyed Toad".
For this transaction, the Eagle's Nest Emperor's Mansion dispatched seventeen horse ships, led by a person named Li Wugu.
All this information was obtained by Huang Chujiu in just two days.
At this moment, when Andrew saw a scimitar around his neck, he looked surprised, and his eyes widened in astonishment.
The scimitar around his neck is the knife of the South Gate.
The knife of the South Gate Fishing Knife is very fast.
Hadru had never seen such a fast knife since he was born.
