C115 Meet Pirate

The merchant boat quickly escaped, with no path in front and behind. Zhao Deji stood on the third floor as he looked around, and the pursuers behind him were getting more and more anxious. Lin Zhijie was knowledgeable and experienced, he maintained his calm amidst his panic, looking at the sky: "We will sail along the west side, there are many islands ahead, we can avoid first."

At this time, Zhao Deji had nowhere to go, and was completely obedient to him. Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi also had no sailing experience, so they could only follow him.

After running for five or six days, the Golden Army was still unable to catch up to him, but she was still able to stay in her line of sight. Lin Zhijie ordered, the speed of the boat did not dare to slow down at all. Fortunately, the boat had enough food and water, so it was safe for the time being.

However, drifting like this was not an option. Although he had gradually gotten rid of the Golden Army's chase, he had drifted for more than a month, stopping to rest or to take a walk. However, he had never been able to find the place to land.

One evening, the sky suddenly darkened. Groups and groups of seabirds flew across the sea, emitting stifled cries. It was unknown where they were headed.

The captain rushed over. "Master, this is bad. It's going to be a storm."

Lin Zhijie stomped his feet and sighed: "Speed up, you are not allowed to stay."

"But, this is too dangerous, the sky is going to turn dark again. We must find a place to park. "

It was a dead end if they stopped. Lin Zhijie said resolutely: "Continue."

"Yes."

The sky was as black as ink, and soon it was raining cats and dogs. The merchant ship swayed on the surface of the sea. Under the raging waves, it was like a speck of dust in the desert, on the verge of destruction.

Zhao Deji sat in the cabin, frowning as he watched the giant waves hitting the window layer by layer. Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi, who were both standing beside him, were jolted here and there, especially Hua Rong, who was almost unable to stand steadily.

Lin Zhijie hurriedly entered with a strange set of clothes in his hands. "Your Majesty, this is the 'life jacket' that I brought back from a small western country during my voyage, you should wear it."

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is more important."

Seeing that he was loyal to the master, and taking the life jacket, Zhao Deji suddenly noticed that Hua Rong was lying on the side, his hair was in a mess, and his face was gloomy and did not look like a human. He sighed, and passed the life jacket to her: "Rong Er, you wear it."

Hua Rong was so shocked that she almost vomited, she anxiously shook her head: "Shangguan Family, don't worry about me, your dragon body is more important."

Seeing that Hua Rong was adamant, Zhao Deji did not try to persuade him anymore. He put on the life jacket and looked at the huge waves outside: "If the heavens have eyes, my Da Song will definitely be able to escape from this calamity."

No one could console him, Lin Zhijie had already rushed down to discuss this matter with the captain.

The ship had already begun to enter the water, and after an unknown period of time in the darkness, just as the captain was about to give the command to cut down the mast, the storm suddenly stopped.

The people on the deck were all over the place, all of them in a state of disarray. Just as they thought that they were doomed, they saw that the storm had suddenly stopped, and they all jumped in joy.

Zhao Deji's entire body was covered with water, the life jacket over his body was drenched in water, he was barely able to stay by the door of the cabin, he was so weak that he couldn't even stand properly.

Zhao Deji sat on the chair completely paralyzed, and muttered: "Taizu, please bless me."

"For us to be able to escape from this calamity, our beloved one is truly an unparalleled achievement."

"Thank you, your majesty."

After the storm, the sea calmed down in the middle of the night. The mountains could be seen in the sky as far as the eye could see. It was as if the entire world had fallen into a deep sleep.

When they looked back, Golden Army's boat had already disappeared. They didn't know where the sea was and everyone had already lost their way in the sea.

Zhao Deji said: Old sir, next, where should we go?

"Your Majesty, wait until daybreak and determine the direction." Right now, it's best for everyone to rest for a while. "

"Then that's it."

After battling against the storm for most of the night, everyone fell to the deck. Lin Zhijie went to open a huge sealed chest, and took out clean clothes for everyone to wash.

Hua Rong's body was already feeling cold and warm, but shesheas afraid that everyone would be worried. Without saying a word, she quietly went to the cabin to change her clothes, and when she returned, he saw that Kanggong was already asleep on the bed of the cabin. Xu Caizhi slept beside him with his sword.

Hua Rong quietly withdrew herself and stood on the deck. She found a slightly dry place and looked at the sea mountains in the dark night. She touched her forehead that was burning hot, and leaned on the side of the ship. Baffled, she suddenly saw Yue Pengju, and exclaimed in joy, "Peng Ju". Her head was empty, and she almost touched the cold deck.

A fiery sun rose from the sea, very different from the sun seen on land. Faintly, there were many islands in front of him. He didn't know how big they were or how many they were.

Lin Zhijie rested for a while, before accompanying Zhao Deji to the outside of the cabin on the third floor, and looked towards the sky in the distance. Zhao Deji asked: Where is this place?

Lin Zhijie said: "This little one is also very unfamiliar with this place, I am not very familiar with it, obviously I lost my way last night."

He called out to his son: "Si Lang, after all these years of traveling in this ocean, are you familiar with this place?"

Lam Shiro looked at it for a while, then shook his head. His brother-in-law Zhang Shiwu suddenly spoke out: "This is a deserted island.

"Pirates?"

Hua Rong, who was at the side, suddenly thought of the King Qin. Looking carefully at this piece of sea, he did not have any impression of it, and did not know if it was the same sea as the King Qin.

Zhao Deji had a few months of experience defending by the sea, but that was basically just a flash of light without real experience in controlling it. After running for a few days, the sea seemed to be even more unstable than the land, and if one were to look from afar, one would not even know where the hidden island was.

"I was very impressed when I went out to sea when I was a teenager and met pirates with my father. If we go around these islands and then head east, we can leave. "

Lin Zhijie said: Do we have to circle around here?

"Yes, there's an opening to the sea, or the ship will go into the ocean and disappear."

Lin Zhijie turned his head to look at Zhao Deji, and Zhao Deji looked at the sailors on his boat.

"Old mister, is there any confidence in battling the bandit leader?"

Lin Zhijie shook his head: "Although I am not confident, but this commoner has a plan."

Zhao Deji immediately replied: "Old sir, there's no harm."

"Your Majesty, the Royal En is mighty, why not recruit these bandits, and grant them the services of a noble and magnanimous person. They will definitely work for the imperial government, and also get married in the future."

"Alright, let's do it. But, who should we send to persuade him? "

"This humble one's son, Si Lang, can go."

Lam Shiro was thirty-five to thirty-six years old, of medium stature, with a tanned complexion and a very robust look. He had walked across the sea all year round, and had visited many small countries on the coast to do business.

Seeing that he was willing to take such a huge risk, Zhao Deji sighed: "Old sir is very loyal, if I can escape this calamity, I will definitely reward you father and son handsomely."

"Thank you, your majesty."

"At that time, my father was one of the pirates who managed to escape with his life. Their leader's surname was Zhou, and I recognized him. A rather straightforward person, but I don't know if it's still this person. "

"Alright, you and Si Lang go ahead and scout first. Also, the ship needs to get to the shore to make some repairs. In addition to going out to sea in a hurry, we do not have enough clear water on board, it would be best if we can get some of them. "

"Yes."

After that, Lin Zhijie picked a few capable sailors. Hua Rong had stayed on the King Qin Island for a few months and was familiar with some of the pirates' mannerisms, so he said: "Old Uncle Lin, I will go with you guys."

Lin Zhijie hurriedly said, "Miss, the bandit leader is heartless, it's too dangerous."

Zhao Deji and Hua Rong were the only ones left by Zhao Deji's side, and they did not want her to take the risk, so they shook their heads: "Rong Er, you are a woman after all, it is inconvenient, let's watch for a while first."

"Yes."

Another day passed, and it was late afternoon, and the ship was close to the continuous archipelago. Looking around, there were trees and cages on the island, which were extremely wide and long, but in Hua Rong's mind, this was not the King Qin's island.

She didn't know if she was relieved or not, but she silently watched the evening breeze blow up the fine white sand.

The ship had yet to reach the shore, but several alarms had already sounded. It was obviously the pirate surveillance system.

Zhang Shiwu was already prepared, he shouted out a few slogans, causing the pirates to hesitate a little, as if they had tacitly agreed to the arrival of the big ship from far away.

Lam Shiro and the others brought some gifts from the boat, and also put down a small clam board.

As the small boat approached the shore, a few pirates rushed forward. Zhang Shiwu spoke a few words, then asked: "Is Brother Zhou in?"

This group of people were all underlings of King Zhou. Seeing that everyone brought a generous gift, they were overjoyed. "Who are you? I will bring you to see Big Brother Zhou immediately. "

Big Brother Zhou was known as Zhou Qi, and was drinking and having fun, when he saw Zhang Shiwu bringing the box over, he pointed at him: "Kid, you look really familiar."

Zhang Shiwu bowed, "This little one, Zhang Shiwu, greets Seventh Elder."

Zhou Qi laughed out loud: "I remember now, your father once gave me such a generous gift. Kid, what are you doing here again? Was he in trouble? Or was it robbed by other pirates? "

Zhang Shiwu bowed respectfully and lowered his voice: "I have something important to report."

There was happiness and worry on his face, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Brother Zhang, you gave me a fortune for free, but I do not dare to casually pay my respects. To be honest, a few days ago, this island had already pledged its allegiance to my King. I have to ask for his opinion. "

"Sure, sure."

"I will send the Brothers to greet our benefactor. Brother Zhang, you go back and wait for me. As soon as I have any news, I will inform you immediately."

"Thank you, Master Zhou Qi."

The boat docked by the shore. Everyone was anxiously waiting for their return. It was not until the afternoon that the clam board came back.

Zhao Deji had been extremely anxious, but seeing the happiness on Lam Shiro's face, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Si Lang, do you have an idea now?"

Si Lang bowed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the bandit on the island is called Zhou Qi, they are called Seventh Elder. But he said his island had recently been subdued by another gang of bandits. He said that he could not make the decision on his own, so he had to ask the Great Master for permission before he could report it to His Majesty. For the time being, he has allowed us to temporarily dock. "

"Who is the bandit leader?"

"He was unwilling to divulge his surname. He only said that his surname was Qin."

Hua Rong's heart thumped. She had always been nervous, this angry ocean that was close to the King Qin's ocean, but because it wasn't this island, she had been hoping to get lucky. Now, when she heard the surname "Qin", his heart turned cold. If it was the King Qin, why would she accept the reward?

Zhao Deji had also defended against the sea in this area before, but firstly, time was lacking and secondly, he had never met King Qin face to face. He basically did not recognize him, so even if he had heard of "King Qin" long ago, he did not know who he really was.

Hua Rong knew that the situation was bad, but she couldn't say anything. The Lam Shiro continued: "Zhou Qi was very tempted, he has already set out to report to the leader. Said there'd be news by tomorrow morning at the latest. "

There was a special way of communication between the pirates, but at the moment, with everyone hiding at the edge of the island, the Golden Army could catch up to them at any time. She could only temporarily dock.

The patrolling small pirates did not know that they were the Son of Heaven, but upon hearing Zhou Qi's orders, they did not dare to be negligent and only looked at the group of people who were trying to escape out of curiosity.
