Section 117 Conquering the Pirates (Part I)
Gu Sheng and the others stood on the dock very depressed, although they bought a boat, they still couldn't recruit a crew. Nan Qingyun offered a very high price, but because the itinerary was not fixed, no one wanted to be hired. Gu Sheng had no choice but to hire an experienced old sailor to teach Zhu Wuzhao how to sail a boat. Zhu Wuzhao jumped "chaotic" at the beginning, like a wild horse that had just been put on a halter, saying that he was unwilling to accept the work of this sailor, and had no choice but to suppress it in Gusheng for a while, although Zhu Wuzhao was taller than him, but out of the Wuwei Sword Sect, everything was naturally nullified. Zhu Wuzhao followed the old seafarer to learn the skills of sailing, such a big ship, it is impossible to exercise it by one or two people alone, but everyone can also see it, everything depends on fate, after all, to find that kind of natural treasure, it is not hard work, but chance. Therefore, as long as Zhu Wuzhao can control the direction of the ship, it is enough, and he does not need to be very proficient. Seeing Zhu Wuzhao so reluctant, Nan Qingyun smiled lightly and whispered to him: "This is a beautiful difference, why are you so depressed?" "Beautiful difference!" Zhu Wuzhao was depressed: "Then it's okay for me to change things with your family?" Nan Qingyun said: "Why don't you understand? On the sea, once you encounter wind and waves, you are the only one who can sail, don't all people have to obey your command and dispatch?" Zhu Wuzhao's eyes lit up, what Nan Qingyun said made a lot of sense, he nodded again and again, and from then on, he learned skills from the old sailor, that is, he worked hard!
Gu Sheng smiled: "It's still up to you, in a few words, you will be persuaded of this strong head." Nan Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled, and Long Hu began to tease Wei Ming: "I can't imagine that you are such an honest person, how can you be a pair with Sister Nan, I don't think you are really ......honest" Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that Wei Ming had lied to her that Gu Sheng had "ill intentions" towards her, and it was precisely because she was encouraged by the news that she endlessly "secretly sent Qiu Bo" to Gu Sheng, although today's ending was perfect, but the "resentment" in her heart has accumulated for a long time. She looked at Gu Sheng, took advantage of his inattention, quietly dragged Wei Ming aside, and asked in a low voice in an interrogative tone: "You tell me honestly, did you lie to me what you said back then?" Wei Ming didn't react: "What words?" Long Hu saw Nan Qingyun coming over, and hurriedly slashed the 'messy' numbness: "That's what you said Gu Sheng, to me!" She gestured with her hand, pointed at Gu Sheng, and then pointed at her heart. He forgot about it early tomorrow, he did it back then, just so that the two of them would not quarrel all day long, and when Long Hu mentioned it now, he had no impression at all. The uncertain "touch" and "touch" his head with a confused face: "What the hell are you talking about, is it okay to say it directly?" "You!" Long Fox glared angrily, raised his hand and was about to knock him with a chestnut, Nan Qingyun happened to come over and saved Wei Ming: "What secrets do you want to say in private?" Long Fox smiled wryly and put down his hand: "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay!" Before she turned to leave, she glared at Wei Ming fiercely, meaning that this matter is not over, and I will still look for you.
As soon as the dragon fox left, Nan Qingyun asked Weiming: "What's wrong?" Weiming didn't understand himself, and spread his hands: "I'm also strange......"
In seven days, Zhu Wuzhao roughly learned techniques such as steering and judging direction at sea, and he was ready to go to sea. There was a small boat tied to the back of the big ship, and the old sailor stood on the mast, overlooking the sea, and shouted at Zhu Wuzhao at the stern below: "Anchor!" Zhu Wuzhao shook his hand, and the huge iron anchor flew out of the water with a "woo". The old sailor above was startled, he had been with these people for seven days, and he never felt that there was any difference between these people, he originally thought that it was just a group of young masters of the Kuo family who came out to find excitement, but Zhu Wuzhao made him know these people anew- The huge iron anchor is extremely heavy, plus the iron chain, to say the least, it weighs hundreds of pounds, under normal circumstances, two people turn the winch to put it away, Zhu Wuzhao casually, the iron anchor flew up, such a divine power, the old sailors who have participated in several wars have not even heard of it! He glanced at the small boat behind the big ship, and discussed, he sent these people farther away, and he came back by boat, and now he was even more determined to leave- The place where these people want to go must not be a tourist attraction with beautiful mountains and rivers, it must be very dangerous, or thirty-six strategies, and go up.
Zhu Wuzhao didn't know that his simplicity actually caused an uproar in the hearts of the old sailors above, and he was very unhappy in his heart now. He worked hard to steer the ship, but Gu Sheng and the others moved a few Taishi and sat on the deck to bask in the sun. The sun on the sea is very clear, like the seawater, shining warmly on his body, Zhu Wuzhao also likes this kind of comfortable life, but he has to do coolies. Gu Sheng smiled and shouted to Zhu Wuzhao: "Little pig, come on! Give you more food at night!" Zhu Wuzhao muttered to himself: "Add food, I think I am the cook, and I will add food to you!" What he said was good, Gu Sheng really can't do anything except fight, the dragon and fox are a princess, not to mention, he is honest and honest, these side doors, he won't. The old sailor stood on the mast, and from time to time he changed one foot to hang in the air, resting, so that he could hold out longer. Half a day passed, the sun rose overhead, the temperature rose, and everyone else hid in the cabin, Zhu Wuzhao was not tired, and he was just a little bored with the rudder between his legs.
It was already not close to the shore, and the old sailor walked down and saw Zhu Wuzhao holding the rudder like that, and was immediately surprised: "You have been holding on all morning?" "What's wrong?" The old sailor took out a rope from the side under Zhu Wuzhao's surprised gaze, put it on the rudder, and fixed it. Zhu Wuzhao let go of his legs, which were a little numb, and asked with a blank expression: "You, why, don't you tell me that the rudder can be fixed?" The old sailor's face flushed: "I, I, I forgot!" Zhu Wuzhao let out a long sigh: "Thank you, anyway, you finally told me, I thought I would stay at the stern all the way......
The old sailor was leaving, and the crowd did not stop him, after all, it was agreed in advance. However, the old sailor was worried in his heart, if these people did not let him go, with his ability, he was afraid that he could only stay. Gusheng paid him handsomely, and the old sailor thanked him and returned to the harbor in a small boat.
On the sea, Gu Sheng and the others stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the waves stirred up under the flying boat. The seagulls in front of them opened the way, the giant whales behind the tail followed, the blue waves surged, and the water and sky were "colorful". Everyone was open-minded, and Zhu Wuzhao even had the desire to sing loudly, but it was stopped by Gu Sheng in time. A few days after such a happy day, Zhu Wuzhao looked out from the mast one day and found a clipper falling far behind him. He didn't care about it because he didn't have any sailing experience, and after checking everything on the ship, Shi Shiran returned to the cabin. Nan Qingyun was busy in the kitchen, at sea, there were almost no fresh vegetables and fruits, fortunately they had just been off the shore for a few days, and the vegetables had not spoiled, but they were a little wilted. Nan Qingyun felt a pity, cooked himself, and made a sumptuous lunch for everyone. Dozens of exquisite dishes were neatly placed on the long table, and everyone looked at the plates of delicious food in front of them, which was a little incredible. Long Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Unclear, you are really blessed." "The so-called stupid people have stupid blessings, and they have encountered ups and downs in the first half of their lives, maybe this is also a kind of silent compensation for fate.
Nan Qingyun heard everyone's praise and smiled embarrassedly: "Let's eat it, I don't know if it suits your taste." Gu Sheng was the first to move his chopsticks: "Little pig, your barbecue skills will abdicate in the future." Zhu Wuzhao didn't answer, because his mouth was blocked by a piece of chicken breast.
The ship in the back, except for Gu Sheng and them, everyone knew that it was a pirate ship. However, Gu Sheng's actions made the pirates in the pirate ship a little confused. Why? Wouldn't the average ship be running at full speed and fleeing at the sight of a suspicious ship like theirs? At least the deck should be busy, ready to resist the impending invasion. But this ship was really calm, that is, it did not accelerate, it did not change course, it was quiet on the deck, and there was no one. The pirates were deliberating, they had never encountered such a strange phenomenon, and immediately the kobold strategist, who thought he was clever, stepped forward and deduced that this was a trap, perhaps a decoy from the Boundless Navy, luring them into falling for it. The pirates immediately thought that it was very likely, so they did not dare to approach, and then sent a dozen small boats to the nearby waters to survey the nearby sea to see if there were any other warships in ambush. Two days later, the boats returned, and no other ships were found, only some cargo ships. The pirates were even more strange, what kind of "medicine" was sold in the gourd of the ship in front of them? At this time, some pirates retreated and asked to retreat, but most of the pirates did not agree.
They decided to keep tracking. Another day passed, and they came a little closer, and another day, a little closer. In this way, after a few days, they were already very close to Gu Sheng's ship, and standing on the deck, they could see the people on the other ship. Zhu Wuzhao was amused: What a coincidence, there are people who have the same route as us! He was very happy, stood on the mast, and waved his hand at the pirates on the pirate ship in a friendly manner! The pirates were so frightened that they all rushed into the cabin at once, and there was another meeting of ants, and they were "forced" by Zhu Wuzhao's actions to have no way out. Zhu Wuzhao didn't realize it, he returned to the cabin and said to everyone with a smile: "What a coincidence, there are people who are on the same course as us." Gu Sheng jumped up suddenly: "What did you say?" Zhu Wuzhao repeated again, and told him about the situation in the past few days, Gu Sheng was so angry that he almost didn't splash the water in his hand on his face: "That's a pirate, it's a robber, do you understand!" Wei Ming was also a little dumbfounded, they walked around the deck, they all liked to stand at the bow of the ship, they didn't pay much attention to the stern, they didn't expect to meet pirates and didn't know, they have been stared at by others until now. Zhu Wuzhao grinned: "What's wrong with the pirates, just do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for the people!" As soon as he said this, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled evilly: "Little pig, your hard days are over......" "What?" Zhu Wuzhao didn't understand. Gu Sheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Do you want to be freed from the identity of a sailor?" "Yes!" "I don't want to be a fool." Gu Sheng pointed outside: "Those pirates, but experienced sailors ......" everyone's eyes lit up: "Yes, let's catch them and let them sail for us!" "Haha!" Zhu Wuzhao jumped up suddenly, wanting to flip a few heels in the air, but unexpectedly hit his head on the low ceiling, and suddenly squatted down with his head covered with a scream.
Gu Sheng felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must not be allowed to slip out of his hands, so he called everyone to discuss: "Don't go up, wait until they all get on our ship, and then we will ......" Everyone understood, and they all sat honestly in the cabin, looking at the situation outside through the small checkered window. There was no movement on the pirate ship, they didn't know that in the pirate cabin, there was already a lot of noise, hundreds of pirates had their own opinions, and there was a lot of trouble, and finally a stout man with a big beard and red face stood up and shouted: "Okay!" This sound shook the cabin with a buzzing "chaos", obviously this leader has practiced a pure internal strength, and in the secular world, he can also be regarded as a top master. He shouted loudly, shaking everyone up: "Okay, don't make any noise. Since we have eaten this bowl of rice, we can't give up halfway, and immediately prepare to attack, I want to see if this boatload of people is really all stone bodhisattvas, and how long can we be stable!" the pirates shouted, and poured out together, each preparing his own blade. The archers wrapped the arrows in cotton cloth and dipped them in fire oil to make rockets. One of the pirates crept up the mast and untied a thin rope, from which a dozen long ropes hung down. More than a dozen long-handed-legged sea **** came out with bamboo poles with iron hooks, and some others had already prepared a board. Several stout men took out large axes from under the boat and wiped them clean with rags.
Gusheng was in the window, the window was small, and they were huddled together, all looking out. Wei Ming was a little unsoothed and asked, "What's the matter with them, they can't come over?" He couldn't help but poke his head out from behind to take a look, but just as he stretched out his head, a flash of fire "swished" past his ears, and the sound of "grabbing" was nailed to the wooden board behind him, and the flames burned with a "poof"! More than a dozen pirates with sharp blades in their hands and agile skills, as soon as they got off the ship, they immediately shouted loudly and rushed to the deck, according to the normal battle procedures, these people are all pirates who are pure in kung fu, with very strong combat effectiveness, the first batch to rush onto the cargo ship, to first open up a "position" on the deck, for the later pirates to rush up. Only this time, there was no resistance at all, and they had no use, so they could only shout "chaos" and "chaos", waving the sword in their hands, slashing the air a few times, and they felt a little embarrassed.
The iron hook reached behind and hooked the cargo ship, and soon a long plank was put on the side of the ship, and the pirates with large axes opened the way, and a large number of pirates behind slew them. Quietly on the deck, they rushed up, and after a shout, gradually there was no sound, and the pirates, with murderous weapons in their hands, looked at each other: they had never encountered such a situation for many years!
