Chapter 75

Yang Zhao commanded the Aeolus to lean over carefully. When it was more than ten meters away, he fixed the boat with a bamboo pole at a distance of more than ten meters from the Aeolus. The boat looked like it had been through a fierce fight, and there were traces of knives everywhere.

"Wait a minute," Ling Qingyu said when Yang Zhao was ready to take people there, "be careful of poison."

Yang Zhao smiled at her, covered her mouth and nose with a cloth towel, took some people, and jumped onto the boat with a hook and rope.

After a short time, Yang Zhao brought people back, and said with a slightly bad face, "it's a pirate. The bodies are below. It's estimated that they have been dead for several days. The people on the deck may have been washed away by the wind and waves. The cargo hold below is empty, and all their belongings have been looted."

Ling Qingyu felt a little cold in her heart and asked, "where's the boat?"

Yang Zhao was silent for a long time, and Fang said, "it should be Xie Lian's boat. His body is in the cabin below."

Ling Qingyu gently closed his eyes and said, "let the boat go."

Looking at the boat drifting away, Ling Qingyu turned and strode to the captain's room, followed by Yang Zhao.

Spreading out the map drawn by himself, Ling Qingyu pointed to the Malacca Strait and said, "this is the best place for pirates to ambush. Xie Lian led the fleet, and its combat effectiveness is absolutely not weak. Even he was killed. Either the other party has the power to absolutely suppress him, or it ambushed him using the terrain. I prefer the latter." The spices in Daguang are so cheap that they are not the goods of any lords at all. I'm afraid they are all written off by pirates, and the most terrible thing is that they have already set up an ambush point through the news.

"We'll land here and then go around," Yang Zhao pointed to the bottom of Sumatra island and said, "if we can find their stronghold to fight, our people can defeat ten with one. They rob merchant ships, and we can rob them."

Everyone, including ram, looked at him and sighed, hey, General Yang, you were really spoiled by the leader.

Ling Qingyu shook his head gently and said, "no, this is the Barisan mountains, all of which are primitive jungles. If we don't have a guide, it's too dangerous to cross here. The kingdom of sanfoqi is here, they can't allow pirates to be rampant here, and Xie Lian's boat drifted here, indicating that they were also ambushed near the Strait of Malacca."

"In other words, the range of pirates may be in this area." Yang Zhao's finger made a circle near the entrance of the Malacca Strait, and then knocked on the Malay Peninsula road.

"Well, I think more than 50% is so." Ling Qingyu nodded. Moreover, the goods are sent to Daguang for cancellation, which is more likely to nest in the Malay Peninsula.

"Then we land here?" Lam looks at Ling Qingyu. Only she knows the terrain here best.

Well, I always feel like I've forgotten something? Ling Qingyu frowned and thought bitterly, drawing his fingers along the narrow strip of Thailand.

"It's not easy to land here?" Ding Dong couldn't help asking. Although he was not a fighter, he steered the ship.

"The port should also have a port that can stop ships and be safe from Angkor and sanfoqi." Ling Qingyu pointed with his hand, and then with a flash of inspiration in his head, pointed to the location of Phuket Island and said, "this place is very suitable!"

The place where she pointed was the place where the Strait of Malacca closed.

"So you log in from here?" Ding Dong pointed to the place slightly above Phuket Island. After thinking for a while, he said, "if you want to be safe, you'd better find a place to hide the Aeolus." All the combatants on the ship went to rob others. If they were robbed, the gains would not be worth the losses.

"No," Yang Zhao smiled at the map, "if you know where it is, you don't have to log in secretly. We'll kill the door directly."

Because of the storm, Aeolus deviated from its original route, but it happened to be closer to Phuket. Ling Qingyu repositioned, lowered half his sail and walked slowly towards Phuket Island.

Patong Beach, which is very famous in later generations of Phuket Island, is still icy and clean at this time. The sea is blue, the waves are gentle, and the white fine sand is warm and soft in the sun.

However, people tied to wooden stakes on the beach are not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery at all.

The beach presents a crescent shape, with some thatched houses built on the low mountains on both sides, and a simple wharf extends out of the beach.

On the beach, several people lie idle on the beach in the sun, sometimes holding wooden sticks to poke those who are tied to wooden piles.

There are more than 20 wooden stakes on the beach. Most of the people on the stakes have lost their breath, and the only person alive is that one breath.

"This man needs us to guard here. It's better to kill him with a knife." An impatient way.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is a warrior of three Buddhas. The boss respects it." Another person laughed, then stabbed the man on the stake in front of him with a stick and said, "Lord Purley, right?"

The man on the stake looked up at him and then lowered his eyes.

"Hey, it's our turn to watch the house today. It's said that the boss went to rob a big fish today. A letter from Daguang said that it was a big Zhou merchant ship from Africa. There must be many rare treasures on board. It's a pity."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"They're all out. Don't you want them at home?" Seeing that several people agreed with him, the leader scolded unconsciously: "if something happens in the stockade, you see, the boss won't skin you."

"Third brother, what are you afraid of? Who can think of our place? Every time the eldest brother sets up an ambush, he is near rupah island. Besides, every time there is no one alive, even if sanfoqi and Angkor can't find us, who can find us?"

"Don't say it so easily. You forget that the Indian boy of the Xie family escaped."

"What if his boat ran away? It was not caught up by the second brother and killed all."

"Speaking of it, we have to thank the disaster. If the Fang is still there, it won't be up to us to get up."

"Bah, who doesn't know, isn't that Fang also relying on the people of the big Zhou Xie family, or with his few people, how can he be seen by our eldest brother?"

"Speaking of this, our second brother, you know, isn't it from Lord Fang? This time, there are many people in the Indian fleet of the Xie family. Our second brother came out to meet him. He thought it was Lord Fang's man, so he didn't set up defense."

"That's it. Maybe brother can share one third of his things this time. There are so many spices and jewelry. I don't know how much money it is worth."

"Third brother, when will you take us to do it, and the brothers will also mix some money."

"Get out, are you afraid you haven't done anything? Now this strait is our world, and there are more ships in the past week. Let them come and leave one for us."

Several people laughed, but Pu Li raised his head and stared blankly at the sea. Did he really want to die in the hands of these pirates?

After drying for three days, Pu li felt his eyes were beginning to blur. Otherwise, how could he feel that he saw two boats rowing on the sea.

Several pirates stopped talking and laughing. They had clearly seen the two fast approaching ships and the sunlight reflected by the blades on the ship.

"Come on, sound the alarm!"

"Knock what! Everyone is out! Run!" The third brother shouted, ran to the woods, ran a few steps, and then turned around and ran to the hut on the mountain, where he had all his savings.

A few pirates ran not far away when they saw a figure snatching up from the ship, flashing down and rushing to the beach.

"What are you running for?" Hearing someone nearby ask, the third brother answered without thinking, "there are so many people, don't run and die."

"Oh, you're dead if you run." The man laughed, and the cold knife light fell like the moon, leaving a residual shadow in the eyes of several people, and then, his head fell to the ground.

The third brother screamed. He didn't fall on the head, but on a leg. Holding the broken leg, the third brother screamed and rolled on the ground. Yan Qi threw the blood beads on the knife, and then put the knife into the sheath, holding hands and standing idly aside to watch him roll.

When Yang Zhao brought people ashore, the third brother had stopped rolling and shrunk into a ball to look at these vicious people.

"Hey, if you answer honestly, you'll be saved." Yan Qi squatted down and smiled at the third brother.

The third brother nodded hurriedly.

"How many people are there in your pirate den? Are they all there?"

"We're all out. Now it's just us. No, it's just me."

"Are you from Dazhou?" Yang Zhao asked faintly beside him, is this man a pirate of the Xie family, with a standard Da Zhou dialect?

"No, I'm from sanfoqi, but I used to be a sailor for Da Zhou's ship." The third brother trembled, and the blood flowed at the broken leg.

"Where have all your people gone?" Yan Qi poked his broken leg and asked.

"I went to Rupa island to ambush a big week's merchant ship. My Lord, I really didn't do anything bad. I'm a stockade keeper. Over there, over there on the mountain, that's the boss's warehouse. All the things they robbed are piled up there. Please help me, I'll take you." The third brother cried.

Sure enough, he went to ambush us. Yang Zhao looked at the low hill where the third brother pointed. The hill was not high, and the houses on the hill were also very simple. It seemed that the construction time was not long.

"General." Du ming helped Pu Li come over and said, "this man is still alive. He said he knew the situation here."

"Then I don't need you. Seventh master, I'm kind-hearted. Let me help you end it." Yan Qi laughed.

"Spare my life, spare my life. I also know the boss's Secret warehouse. He doesn't know this. I'll take you!" The third brother shouted in horror.

Yang Zhao nodded, and Shen Zhan came forward and tied his wound with a cloth to stop bleeding.

"Who are you?" Yang Zhao turned to ask Pu Li.

Pu Li drank water, and his thirsty throat moistened a little. Fang said, "I'm Pu Li, the captain of the king's guard of sanfoqi."

Why does the king's guard captain dry meat in this pirate's nest? Yang Zhao looked at the pile on the beach.

"I came to investigate the recent disappearance of merchant ships, but I was caught in Pu Yi's trap. Pu Yi was also the king's servant, but he corrected everyone for theft. When I go back to the king, I will catch him." Pu Li hated. Knowing that Pu Yi was not a good man, the king liked to listen to him. He attributed the disappearance of the merchant ship to Angkor and asked him to cooperate with Pu Yi to attack Angkor's port. As a result, his ship was intercepted by Pu Yi on the spot.

"Do you know the island of rupah?" Yang Zhao asked.

"Yes, it's an island of Sri Buddha's country," Pu Li said, grinding his teeth. "Then Pu Yi must be colluding with them!"

"Send him back to the ship first, you," Yang Zhao said to the third brother, "take us to the warehouse."

Ling Qingyu stood in the bow, looked and looked, and made a circle around the mast.

Yan San couldn't help laughing and said, "are you an ant?"

"Hey," Ling Qingyu sighed long and said, "it's too uncomfortable to wait like this. I should follow."

"You go to make trouble?" Yan San looked her up and down, and then his eyes kept glancing at her long hair.

Ahhh! Thinking of the end of taking the lead last time, Ling Qingyu unconsciously touched her hair, and then raised her head and said, "it was the first time for us, and now we will not be so reckless. Besides, ah Zhao has trained for so long, and our people are so strong that we won't suffer any more."

"You can also see the end of Xie Lian's fleet. The equipment and ferocity of these people are not comparable to those natives. If you are here, Yang Zhao and them will be distracted." Yan San explained kindly.

"Isn't there still you?" Ling Qingyu muttered in a low voice, and then climbed up the bow to see. She is not a white lotus. She knows how heavy she is. Even now, her physical strength and reaction power have doubled, but she can't adapt to killing. In this battlefield, a hesitation may kill people. If she follows, she will only be a drag.

"It's so uncomfortable not to see Yang Zhao's demeanor?" Yan San laughed as she began to wander around the bow again.

"Ah?!" Ling Qingyu was stunned. Looking back, she saw the smile on Yan San's face and said, "of course not. I'm afraid I'm wrong and I'm afraid I'm caught." The estimation error is good. It's nothing more than running more places. It's estimated that if it's right, it can't avoid a fierce battle. It's not just Yang Zhao. She's worried about everyone who goes. The proposal was proposed by Yang Zhao, but the final decision was made by her. It involves people around her who have been together for more than half a year every day. She feels heartache for anyone who gets hurt.

Yan San was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile, "don't turn around, come down, they are back."

The ship that came back first brought back a ship of spices and dried cattails that were about to be dried.

Hearing that there is indeed a pirate nest over there, but the pirates have gone out to ambush, Ling Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Worried about which pirates had gone and returned, Yang Zhao only made people move the most valuable goods back and forth a few times, and then took people back to the ship.

The Aeolus sailed away from the normal channel and sailed slowly on the Indian Ocean.

Ling Qingyu stared at the location of the Rupa island and frowned. The sea area was very narrow. The distance between the two continents was less than 40 kilometers. The Aeolus was huge. Once attacked, there was no room for maneuver.
