After expelling the Haikou, Xu Beiyou was treated as a guest by a group of seafarers, the leader of the seafarer is an elderly man, named Chen Baoan, personally welcomed Xu Beiyou into the passenger room of the ship, the old man is a native of Wei, and he can be regarded as an old seaman who has been adrift at sea for most of his life, because he has been at sea for many years, his face is very old, and this time he returned to Wei to return to his roots with the silver money accumulated over the years, but he didn't expect to be almost empty of people and money, and he was buried in the sea.

In all fairness, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, has a very good way of governing the territory, since he took charge, the Wei officials have ruled the Qing Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the voice of domestic praise is loud, Xiao Yu said that his brother may be better as the emperor, and it is not a boast. As for whether you can be the emperor or not, this lies in heaven and fate, that is another matter.

Sitting in the guest room, after Chen Baoan's narration, Xu Beiyou knew more about Zheng Kuiqi, now this King Zheng is not only satisfied with robbing merchant ships, but directly sells the Ling Qi at a clear price, the annual price of a Ling Qi is three thousand taels of silver, as long as the Ling Qi is hoisted, it will not be plundered by the pirates under his command, in addition, Zheng's fleet also monopolizes the raw silk trade at sea, if someone wants to get involved in the raw silk trade, the Zheng family will never issue the Ling Flag, and the fleet without the Zheng family Ling Qi is basically difficult to safely transport the raw silk back to Wei, even if it succeeds once or twice occasionally, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, which almost stuck the neck of other raw silk trade maritime merchants, so that many of the original raw silk merchants have changed careers, leaving only the Zheng family, when collecting silk, trying to lower the price, bullying silkworm farmers, selling silk vigorously raising prices, exploiting the major silk merchants, so as to make a lot of profits.

Chen Baoan is not in the raw silk business, but he can't afford to buy a 3,200-year-old Lingqi, so he thought about crossing the sea by luck, but he still met Zheng's Haikou, and a boatload of people was almost buried in the sea.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "This King Zheng understands the truth that you can't fish with all your might, but what is the difference between this move and the imperial court's tax collection?"

Chen Baoan sighed helplessly, "That's exactly why, Zheng Kuiqi is so uncontrollable and bold, he just doesn't see the court come out to take care of it." ”

Xu Beiyou was noncommittal about this, and instead said: "I let those Haikou go this time, they will definitely not give up, although I will always escort you to the Wei State, but you had better be careful." ”

Chen Baoan nodded and said: "There are people who are worried, as long as they can reach Wei safely, Zheng Kuiqi and they don't dare to set up any chaos at the feet of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but you have to be more careful benefactor, I heard that Zheng Kuiqi has many high-ranking people under his command, and they are very powerful." ”

Xu Beiyou laughed it off.

The reason why he wanted to let go of these pirates, in addition to Sun Shiwu's words, also had the intention of using this as bait to catch big fish, if Zheng Kuiqi could take the initiative to send them to the door, it would be great.

Chen Bao was apprehensive, but seeing that this benefactor was confident, he didn't want to say anything more.

Although he is not a monk, but for so many years, he has also known some rumors of strange people and strange people, Chen Bao secretly thought to himself, could it be that the benefactor sitting next to him is a handsome person from that door? Otherwise, how can you have this confidence, you must know that in the territory of Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has extremely strict control over the monks in the territory, and kills Liwei at every turn, and ordinary casual cultivation does not dare to be half presumptuous, only the Daomen with a big family is an exception, every time a young handsome man from the Daomen comes to the Wei State to practice, the local officials not only treat each other with courtesy, but also open the door of convenience, and only the disciples of the Daomen dare not put the dignified Dragon King Zheng Kuiqi in his eyes.

As for the Sword Sect that once covered the sky with one hand in the country, it has already become an old yellow calendar with the word "Weiguo", especially after Shangguan Qinghong, the head of the Shangguan family, died violently in Jiangnan for no reason, no one in the entire Wei State took the initiative to mention the Sword Sect, as if the behemoth that had taken root in the country for thousands of years had completely disappeared.

Speaking of the Sword Sect, Chen Baoan suddenly remembered a person, last year when he was doing business in Jiangdu, he heard that there was a new Xu Gongzi in Jiangdu City, who covered the sky with one hand in Jiangdu City, and his power was so great that he was boundless, but Chen Baoan didn't think that Xu Gongzi, who had a big family, would appear on his small boat, and besides, he was still a member of the Sword Sect, and now the Wei State is almost equivalent to half a forbidden land for the people in the Sword Sect, and they all say that the son of a daughter can't sit down, how can that Xu Gongzi be in danger.

Chen Baoan couldn't have imagined that Xu Gongzi really went the opposite way and went to Wei alone.

Xu Beiyou chatted with Chen Baoan about many things at sea, and after about two hours, he bowed his head and walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Sun Shiwu was still looking at the railing, as if there was something wonderful in this boring sea, and he couldn't see enough.

Xu Beiyou stood side by side with him, squinting.

At the end of the horizon, a mast slowly rises, then the sail, and then the entire hull.

The boat where Xu Beiyou is located is nothing compared to it. This imposing and majestic object is six feet high, the hull is wrapped in iron armor, almost comparable to the building ships in the imperial navy, and there is a cannon port on the female wall, and the black and faint barrel flashes with a stunning luster, which makes people daunting.

Behind the building boat, there are more than ten small boats accompanying each other, surrounding the surroundings, as if the stars are holding the moon.

This battle reminded Xu Beiyou of the situation when he met Yu Kuang in Huzhou.

A Zhengzi banner hunted in the wind, and under the banner was a middle-aged man sitting, with a majestic figure.

There are two servants standing on the side of the middle-aged man, one is so tall that he can no longer use the word "majestic" to describe, he is two zhang high, just the palm of his hand is the size of an ordinary person's head, it is rumored that there are ancient desolate people on Kunlun Mountain, two zhang tall, infinite strength, known as Kunlun slave. The other was an old man in a brocade robe, his cheeks were thin and thin, his face was dark, as if he was shrouded in a layer of gloomy black air, his hands were hidden in his sleeves, and he said gloomily: "It is the sword sect's swordsmanship, there is no doubt that these remnants of the sword sect actually killed our people!"

At this time, there was a corpse in front of the three of them, it was Ma Dong, the leader of the pirates who had just died under his sword, and there were many pirates kneeling around the corpse, all of them trembling and not daring to make any movement.

The middle-aged man sitting on the chair glanced at Ma Dong's corpse and said flatly: "The young master of the Sword Sect, Xu Beiyou, has just climbed the big tree of the imperial court, and now it is the spring breeze that is proud, and it is not surprising that the people of the Sword Sect are showing off, I heard that they have recently purchased five thousand bird guns, and it seems that they are going to compete with us at sea." ”

"Just by them?" the gloomy old man sneered, "Now it is already the world of Great Qi, but it is not the Great Zheng period, I am afraid that the remnants of this Sword Sect are not too bad for a year, and I think that the Sword Sect of today is still the Sword Sect of the year." ”

Kunlun Nu, who was like a behemoth, raised his huge two fists and slammed them three times in front of his chest, his voice was like thunder, "Kill, kill, kill!"

The middle-aged man was expressionless, raised his hand and said, "Burial." ”

Immediately, two strong pirates stepped forward, carried Ma Dong's body to the stern of the boat, and then threw it directly into the sea.

The sharks that followed the flotilla swarmed up, and the water suddenly turned bright red, slowly spreading out in all directions with the waves.
