Star Gate

Li Hao didn't say anything, he glanced into the distance, and as the boat moved forward quickly, there seemed to be more merchant ships on this section of the sea, and he even saw some lights vaguely, and some merchant ships were also brightly lit.

This is not available in Baiyue City.

The boat avoids these boats, and the further it goes, the more prosperous it feels.

It was already late at night, and in the distance, the faintly visible lights were getting brighter and brighter. In the distance, there was a city that seemed to never sleep. This made Li Hao very fresh.

Yes, he had never seen such a night scene.

After 10pm in Silver City, there are very few lights left.

As for Baiyue City, although there is, Baiyue City is also more serious, and there is actually no noise, but here, Li Hao, who is far away, seems to have heard some music.

Li Hao, who came from a small city, feels like a bumpkin.

In fact, Wang Ming said to play around... Ahem, he was a little tempted, but in order to maintain his image, he chose to silently refuse.

There are so many people here!

However, if you haven't seen anything when you arrive at the intersection of Yuehai, the North Sea is too big and it's easy to get lost, so you can take a rest at Nandu.

Li Hao thought in his heart that at this moment, he was getting closer and closer to there.

The city, under the light, appeared vaguely.

What a bright city!

Yinyue, a place on the northern border, actually has such a city that never sleeps. Even Li Hao was a little surprised. On the beach in the distance, at this moment, in the middle of the night, there are actually many lights, even bonfires.

And singing!

Someone beside him snorted coldly, Li Hao turned his head and took a look, and heard Hong Qing snort: "It is said that the north is already in turmoil, and Yinyue is also in danger of turmoil. These people are still singing and dancing here in the middle of the night. Sure enough, the ancient text has Yun, a business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings about flowers in the backyard across the river."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ming refused to accept it, and quickly argued: "This is the capital of commerce, and the north is not in chaos yet, even if it is really chaotic... Nandu, which is famous for its port business, would be peaceful without these singing voices." In the prosperous times, Nandu will be abolished. Once Nandu is abolished, do you know how much tax revenue has been lost in Yinyue? Nandu is an important port, and it even serves as a material transportation channel, without the prosperity of Nandu , Yinyue has hundreds of millions of people, at least 3000 million people have no food to eat... This is not an exaggeration!"

"Yinyue was originally poor and didn't have any special products, so she relied on Nandu to support half of Yinyue... What do you know, this song is still there, so you can enjoy it secretly, if it really disappears... Hehe, that's troublesome Big!"

What the two said seemed to make sense.

Li Hao was also a little weird. He glanced at Wang Ming. This guy argued that it was true as he said. Like this boom scene?

Of course, no matter what, Wang Ming's words still make sense.

Nandu is the outermost port city in the south of Yinyue. Once it shows signs of decline, the entire Yinyue will indeed suffer heavy losses.

Hong Qing was still humming at first, but now he was a little dazed when he heard it.

is it?

In fact, she didn't understand too much, but she felt that the place was too prosperous, and it was a bit incompatible with the news she had heard. Hearing what Wang Ming said now, she couldn't help saying: "Nandu is so prosperous, can it really support so many people?"

"Is this still fake?"

Wang Ming sneered: "Read more books and newspapers. Taxes here are heavy. Not only are Nandu people relying on business to make money, but the annual tax revenue also feeds half of the Yinyue official system. Our salaries and wages all depend on these. The central part has not supported or allocated funds these years, so we can only rely on our self-sufficiency. It is also responsible for transporting some key materials from other provinces in the north, as well as some grains in the central part..."

"Silver Moon itself doesn't produce too much grain, because the winter is too cold. It is not as rich as the south, nor is it more suitable for planting. Silver Moon still needs to import grain. Although it is not too much, it can't cut off this road. In addition, our food, clothing, housing and transportation, many things need to be transmitted to the entire Yinyue here. If we go by land, it will not be able to afford the manpower and material resources alone. Only by sea transportation can we save a lot of manpower and material resources... ..."

This son of a family, gave everyone a popular science about the importance of Nandu.

Without Nandu, Yinyue will be completely closed, and can only rely on Linjiang next door to give a little charity... But Linjiang next door will sometimes impose restrictions and sanctions on Yinyue.

Compared with Wang Ming, Hong Qing seems a little less knowledgeable. Although her father is extremely powerful, Hong Yitang generally doesn't talk about politics, and Hong Qing has never been trained in this area, so Hong Qing seems a little ignorant.

Li Hao, in fact, is the same.

After Wang Ming finished speaking, Hong Qing was a little embarrassed: "So that's the case, I misunderstood... Well, the prosperity here is good, the more prosperous the better, the singing is really nice!"

Wang Ming originally wanted to fight her... As a result, she immediately admitted her mistake, Wang Ming was startled, a little weird: "You...how are you different from others?"

"what?"

Hong Qing was a little puzzled.

Wang Ming was a little speechless: "My friends, even if they know that they are wrong, they have to distinguish with me for three days and three nights in such a situation. They will not admit defeat, will not admit defeat, and fight against you from various angles. You... It's really weird."

Earth Covering Sword's daughter, what's wrong with her personality?

Of course, Wang Ming doesn't know how strong the Earth-covering sword is. He only knows that the Earth-covering sword is Sanyang, or the early stage of Sanyang... If Wang Ming wasn't for his strong foundation, he might be at the early stage of Sanyang. Of course he wasn't too scared.

If he knew the power of the Earth Covering Sword... probably this guy would only flatter Hong Qing, and not talk about it.

Hong Qing asked strangely: "You have said everything so clearly, why do you still refute?"

"..."

What you said makes sense, so she didn't refute it. This person... seems to be expecting to refute and scold him. He is really sick.

Wang Ming was speechless.

At this moment, the boat was already approaching the port of Nandu, but Li Hao didn't get too close. He just moved the boat closer to some beaches, listening to the noise coming from the beach.

It's so lively!

Li Hao's eyes were good, and he saw some people eating barbecue and drinking wine. It was actually a little cold at night, and it was even colder on the beach, but these people didn't seem to feel it.

Vaguely, you can still see some long-legged girls...

Li Hao looked over there a few more times, the speed of the boat slowed down a bit, and a group of bumpkins on the bow were a little curious, and all of them stared over there with wide-eyed eyes.

Wang Ming is an old driver, but except for Wang Ming, almost everyone else has never traveled far.

Baiyue City is prosperous, but for those people in the inspection department, the prosperous Baiyue City actually has little to do with them, and they don't have much money to enjoy themselves. At this moment, everyone is looking forward to it.

In the communication channel, I don't know who is sending the message: "Head, it's really nice here, I'm back, how about playing here for a day?"

"We have no money, head, can we advance a little wages in advance?"

"..."

Someone spoke, and in the public channel, other voices soon rang out.

Obviously, this group of bumpkins were attracted.

Soon, another human said: "I'm not going, but if you can pay in advance, I will too. The consumption here must be high, so I can buy a lot of things and send them back..."

This must be someone from Jianmen.

Hong Qing's voice also rang out in the channel: "It's nothing to spend a little, I support the Yinyue Taxation! There is no shortage of money in the door now. My father is Sanyang. He works once and makes more money. It's the first time everyone comes out to earn money. Salary...you can spend a little!"

"..."

Li Hao was speechless after hearing that, Lao Hong, do you know that your daughter is going to sell you.

Sanyang earns more money by working part-time. If this word spreads...don't be laughed to death.

Apparently, this guy seemed a little attracted by the excitement.

A group of people didn't even feel the speed of the boat slowed down.

But at this moment, Li Hao turned his head and glanced into the distance. A ship was flying towards this direction at a very high speed. Super power is not too strong, probably at the level of the early days of Yue Ming.

From a long distance, Li Hao saw something abnormal... The man seemed to be stained with some blood.

pirate?

Not quite like it.

He was a little puzzled, thought for a moment, and the boat quickly sailed there.

In the blink of an eye, they approached each other.

At this moment, I could see clearly the face of this person and the panic on his face.

This is a superpower of the water system, who is quickly urging the boat and fleeing this way. It seems that he didn't see Li Hao and the others at first. After a while, the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters, and that person saw the boat...

The next moment, extremely bright eyes burst out suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted: "But the Wuwei Army?"

He seemed to recognize the ship.

Before Li Hao could speak, the man yelled: "Didn't the military guards leave? It's okay, they didn't leave... It's not good, there are pirates attacking ahead, and a small town on the other side of Linjiang was slaughtered. We are advancing here, the merchant ship I was on was completely defeated by the other party, it seems to be a white shark thief... I am going to Nandu to report, and you finally came..."

He was terrified, but when he saw the ship, he seemed relieved a lot.

Li Hao walked through the air, flew out quickly, and grabbed the man. Seeing that Li Hao was wearing armor, the man was not worried, but felt more at ease.

"pirate?"

Throwing the other party on the bow, the man saw a lot of black armor, felt more at ease, and hurriedly said: "Yes, pirates! White shark robbers! On the other side of the river, a small town was slaughtered, and tens of thousands of people died. ...there are quite a few pirates, I took a look from a distance, there are at least five to six hundred people, all of them are superpowers, and there are also strong men sitting in the command, I saw the shark flag, which is the sign of their leader in the ship."

The man was terrified and a little frightened.

"Our merchant ship was not as fast as the other party. It was overtaken and smashed to pieces. Fortunately, I am a superpower of the water system. I dived into the water and escaped unharmed. I came back to report immediately. I didn't expect to meet the military guards... too alright!"

The man was both afraid and happy.

On the boat, the atmosphere froze instantly.

Five or six hundred super powers!

many!

White Shark Pirates!

And this person was happy at first, but after watching for a while, he became a little confused: "It is rumored that the military guards have withdrawn from Yinyue, and went to the central part with Minister Hou. Now they may all go to the North Sea, you..."

He glanced around, but he didn't seem to see too many people, and his heart skipped a beat.

Just so few people?

The military guards were dispatched, and they were all dispatched together, thousands of people, so he was happy just now because the thousands of military guards were there, and they were not afraid of pirates.

But... How much is there?

For many people, the Wuwei Army is a secret.

But for some businessmen who take the sea passage, it is actually not, because the Wuwei Army is also somewhat prestigious in the sea.

"This general, you... are you the military guards?"

"Yes, the Armed Forces Demon Hunt Squad!"

Li Hao said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's the white shark thief?"

"Well... You... Didn't you leave with Minister Hou?"

"Yes, we are the force left behind."

Li Hao looked into the distance and frowned slightly.

He just wanted to encounter some small pirates, but when he came, he met the White Shark Pirates, one of the eight great pirates, with five or six hundred superpowers, and the leader sitting in charge... This is the trouble.

"How many...how many of you are there?"

"That's as much as you can see."

"It's over!"

The man suddenly became terrified, "Let's go, run away, notify Nandu, and ask for help quickly! Otherwise... Nandu is over, I suspect they are here for revenge. , The reputation has grown, and the pirates in the sea have also given Wu Weijun three points of face, and dare not come to Yinyue to make trouble, and now the White Shark Pirates are moving in this direction, they must want to take advantage of the retreat of the Wuwei Army to take revenge on Yinyue!"

"No matter how late, it's too late. Those guys are inhumane. Once they enter Nandu, blood will flow like a river..."

With only such a few people, the joy that this person had before was instantly wiped out, leaving only panic and helplessness.

Run away!

Five or six hundred superpowers, ten times the number.

Li Hao fell into deep thought, and asked after a while, "How strong are they?"

"what?"

"I mean, do they have a lot of Sanyang and Xuguang?"

"This one……"

"Run away now, how long will it take for the other party to reach Nandu?"

"It will definitely arrive within three hours. They are not too fast, they are not in a hurry, and there are still pirates having fun... I am rushing back with all my might. It will take three hours at most, or it may be faster."

"Three hours, Nandu side, can we evacuate?"

"This... definitely won't work!"

This person is also an old Jianghu, and immediately shook his head: "However, it counts as much as you can escape, three hours... as long as the command is good, at least half of the population can be evacuated, otherwise, even though the opponent only has a few hundred people, they are all super powerful Or, there are only [-] troops stationed in the city, even if they are all dispatched, it is impossible to stop them for a long time, with the top powerhouses around, thermal weapons will be completely useless..."

Li Hao breathed out: "Three hours...five or six hundred superpowers, are you a veteran in the sea?"

"General, I..."
