Dressed as Wu Dalang, starting at 1.9 meters

Wu Tian smiled: "Even if you meet a few pirates, it's just a good time to practice your skills."

Shanyun smiled helplessly.

They picked up the tickets on the table, squinted for a while, and set off for the pier.

There are many people of all kinds gathered at the pier, some are going to do business at sea, there are shopkeepers who deliver goods, there are workers who sell their labor, and there are some young talents in Confucian uniforms who look like teachers and so on.

In addition, there were eight other men in government uniforms with sabers hanging from their waists, maintaining order on the pier.

Wu Tian and Shan Yun found a seat and sat down.

Tonight's night is very good, the sky is full of stars, and the moonlight shines on the water with a light blue light, covering the earth with a layer of blue.

Looking at the moonlight, Wu Tian couldn't help chanting: "When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky for wine..."

Shan Yun bared a smile.

Wu Tian frowned, staring at Shan Yun: "What are you laughing at?"

Chapter 173 Going to Sea

Shan Yun said: "I said that you, a man of five big and three thick, can actually learn to recite poems and make mistakes like literati."

"Whoever said that a man who is five big and three rough can't recite poems and fight against each other, I am called both civil and military."

"Okay, it's the little girl's mistake. Officials are both civil and military. There is no one before, and there will be no one in the future."

Seeing that Wu Tian was in a hurry, Shan Yun quickly said good things.

Wu Tian waved his hand.

"Don't say that, I, Wu Tian, ​​still have some self-knowledge. I don't dare to take the phrase 'there is no one before and no one to come'. I just hope that with my efforts, the people of Song Dynasty can live a good life , I'm already satisfied."

Shanyun smiled.

At this time, a middle-aged man in beautiful and gorgeous clothes came from a distance, leading fifteen guards in bunts. Behind them were seven servants pushing carts, each of which contained at least five people. Six boxes, seven or eight more.

As soon as the eight yamen servants saw the middle-aged man, they hurried over to salute.

"Meet the Maritime Envoy."

When Wu Tian heard the shipping envoy, he turned his head to look at Shan Yun: "Do you know what this 'sea transport envoy' is for?"

Shan Yun said: "The shipping envoy is the official in charge of the treaty port, and is also responsible for managing the lawsuits and murders of foreign countries coming to the Song Dynasty for trade."

"Sea envoys can also manage lawsuits and murder cases. Isn't that the job of the county magistrate?"

Wu Tian was slightly surprised, this official is small, but has great power.

Shan Yun said: "This is different. The culture and language of overseas countries are very different from our Song Dynasty, and the county magistrates in the Song Dynasty have never been to sea, so it is difficult to execute when encountering things. And because the sea transport envoys have been overseas for a long time, It is easy to manage because it has contacts with other countries."

Hearing this, Wu Tian came to his senses and nodded again and again: "So that's the case."

At this time, I only listened to the shipping envoy admonishing the eight yamen servants.

"You manage this pier well, but tonight there is a batch of goods that will be sent to the island country. I recommend eight of you as escorts. I hope you will not let me down. If this matter is done well, you will not need it for the rest of your life. I'm sad. If you don't do it well, you will end up miserable, do you understand?"

The eight yamen servants shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Wu Tian sighed slightly and shook his head again and again.

"Officer, why are you sighing?"

Wu Tian pointed to the shipping envoy and said in a low voice: "The waiter in the shop said today that there are a lot of pirates recently, so he only sent eight yamen servants to escort them. How can this be enough?"

"Even if eight people are sent to escort them, they should be discussed in secret. Isn't it tantamount to announcing it to the world? Either this transfer envoy is an idiot, or he did this on purpose to let these eight yamen servants go to die. Tonight, we Might not be able to rest again."

As soon as the words fell, a large ship broke down near the pier.

Then an old man in official uniform led two young men in bunts to get off the boat.

The old man walked up to the shipping envoy, clasped his hands and said with a smile on his face, "Master shipping envoy, the ship has arrived, and your cargo can be loaded first."

The shipping envoy nodded slightly, waved his hand, and his men teamed up with two people to lift the wooden box on the cart onto the ship.

An hour passed, and all the more than thirty boxes were carried onto the boat.

The shipping envoy handed a gift list to the old man: "I will leave the rest to you, I will go first."

The old man took the gift list, glanced at it, nodded repeatedly, and sent the shipping envoy away with a smile on his face.

As soon as the shipping envoy walked away, he turned and glanced at the two young men beside him: "You stay here to maintain order and count the tickets to board the ship. Eighth yamen servants, follow me."

Chapter 174 Pirates Haunted [Fourth Update]

"Yes!"

The two youths and the eight yamen servants acted separately.

"Everyone, start queuing up to check in and board the boat now."

Merchants at the wharf line up to check tickets and board the ship.

The ship is five meters high, has a frontal area of ​​400 square meters, and can carry more than [-] people at a time.

Wu Tian and Shan Yun were arranged in the east seat, which happens to be near the window, so the air is smooth.

No sooner had they sat down than the anchor was drawn, and the sails were set out to sea.

Along the way, the sea was turbulent, Shan Yun wanted to cheer up and stay awake, but in the end he couldn't help it, and fell asleep on Wu Tian's shoulder.

Seeing her like this, Wu Tian couldn't bear to wake her up when he thought that she hadn't slept all night.

He himself was very tired, but he dared not sleep.

There was a premonition in his heart that kept reminding him that something would happen tonight.

The ship cleaves the wind and waves all the way, advancing rapidly and steadily.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the third watch, and most of the people on board, except the crew who guarded and controlled the ship, had already fallen asleep.

Wu Tian smiled helplessly, thinking that he was suspicious.

Just when he was about to close his eyes, many bright spots suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance outside the window.

At first he thought it was moonlight reflecting off the sea level.

Later, he felt that something was wrong, and the bright spot was getting bigger and bigger.
