The most unlucky crossing in history

"It's not impossible for you to go to Shendu together. The ship and personnel are all ready, it's just a change of course, and I will sign an agreement with you to go to Shendu again."

In a restaurant in Sangha City, Zhong Qiyun said to Zhang Zhenfeng: "But, don't you remember that you said before that you would go back to Daqin immediately after delivering the goods to Sangha? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"It's just that I haven't been there before, and I just want to take a look at it. After all, Shendu Kingdom is really far away. Who knows when Brother Qiyun will go there again? I dare not take a sea boat without Brother Qiyun. " Zhang Zhenfeng said with a smile, shaking his folding fan.

Zhong Qiyun laughed, "I have a contract in my hand, and I have prepared a treasure ship's silk goods, so I have to go, but you have no goods now, and going there will only delay two months for nothing, even if you put As far as I know, the goods of the Sangha City are not uncommon in Shendu, if you can’t sell them at the price, if you go here, you will only be in business at a loss.”

"It's just for fun, so there's no one who doesn't pay money." Zhang Zhenfeng replied with a smile.

"Having fun? I'm afraid Young Master Zhang doesn't know that the next part of the sea route will be more difficult and dangerous than when we came. Sea navigation is not safer than land. Although I know a little about the upcoming voyage, I have never actually piloted it once. , It’s not an exaggeration to say that going this time is dangerous.”

"Of course I know this. Before you came here, you mentioned that you might have a chance to visit a foreign country. How could I miss it?"

"..." Zhong Qiyun looked at the young master Zhang Zhenfeng, who was risking his life just for fun, and was quite speechless.Originally, today's Hainan Airlines is not as developed as it is in modern times. For example, there are no rescue facilities, communication equipment, etc. in modern times. If it is really in danger, I really can only hope for God to save it.He is going all out for profit, this man is good...

Zhong Qiyun looked at Zhang Zhenfeng and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhang is so open-minded, what else can I say? I will ask Liu Wangcai to write the contract and bring it over later. You just have the money ready."

Zhang Zhenfeng smiled and cupped his hands at Zhong Qiyun: "Brother Lao Qiyun will take care of you for the next few days."

Zhong Qiyun looked at Zhang Zhenfeng who was smiling and squinted his eyes, and nodded.

Zhang Zhenfeng said that he was going to Shendu, but he was really just going there, and he did not plan to buy the goods from the Sangha City and send them there. Zhong Qiyun didn't want to leave the ship empty, so he simply wrote down the receipt after he went back, and let Liu Wangcai deliver it to the relative. Familiar shop, get the shopkeeper ready

After the goods are ready, they are all loaded onto the empty big treasure ship.

Just after nightfall, Zhong Qiyun returned to the inn after making arrangements for the fleet's transportation.

Jiang Sicheng had been waiting for him in the inn lobby for a long time.

Seeing that Zhong Qiyun came up to greet him, his face was not as relaxed as usual, so he knew that things were probably not good.

After finding a quiet place, Zhong Qiyun asked Jiang Sicheng about the day's investigation.

"I searched all day, but I didn't ask about those pirates. I asked many fishing boatmen by the sea, and they all said that the last time I saw it was two months ago, and I didn't see it during this time, because they They are all pirates, the fishermen just want to stay away and will not go to find out where they went, and they are very happy to disappear this time, let alone care about the life and death of these people, and they don’t know where they went.”

Zhong Qiyun frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Then what's different about those days?"

"Yes," Jiang Sicheng said, "A fisherman who lives on a cliff said that he had seen a large black ship in the offshore. The shape and appearance of the ship were not something that can be found in Sangha City, nor could it be built by Zhan City. , looks like it’s from a foreign country.”

Zhanchengguo relies on the sea, and most people live by the sea, so its shipbuilding technology is pretty good, but what the fishermen see is better in Zhanchengguo?

"Compared to our treasure ship?"

Jiang Sicheng replied: "The fisherman said, I'm afraid it's much bigger."

Zhong Qiyun didn't speak any more, Jiang Sicheng said slowly: "If the ship is just an ordinary ship passing by occasionally, then it's no problem...... But how can ordinary ships be painted with black flags? Even The canvas is also black, only pirates who don't want to be seen at night would do that."

Zhong Qiyun thought so too.

"Brother Jiang, have you found any other news about this ship?"

Jiang Sicheng shook his head.

"Then I'm afraid I have to trouble you to expand the scope in the past few days, and then check it out."

No matter where the ship is, but with such a size, and it is a ship of pirates, Zhong Qiyun is naturally worried.

Jiang Sicheng replied: "Before I came, I had asked people to expand the scope of the secret investigation in the sea area, and I will send more people tomorrow."

"Well, good." As if thinking of something, Zhong Qiyun added before Jiang Sicheng left: "Tomorrow you and I go to the inner city to pick some good weapons, and prepare more arrows."

Jiang Sicheng knew that Zhong Qiyun was preparing to face the enemy head-on, "Okay."

After Jiang Sicheng left, Zhong Qiyun sat alone at the table thinking about this troublesome matter.

Against the enemy, when swords and guns collide, it will become a sea war. He really has no experience in this way, and he is afraid that if there is a mistake, the entire fleet will lose their lives.

Zhong Qiyun was upset and lost his appetite for eating, so he simply left the hall and walked upstairs to the guest room with his head down.Siddhan was thinking about things, but he didn't pay attention to the front and back, and accidentally bumped into someone.

Before he looked up, Tan Yuanjin's voice reached his ears, "Boss Zhong is looking down, what is he thinking about, so serious."

"It turned out to be Young Master Yuan." Zhong Qiyun looked at him, except for the few personal guards, Pei Yan's tail-like attendant was not there, "Did you not accompany Young Master Pei today?"

Tan Yuanjin stared at Zhong Qiyun, with a half-smile, "Pei Yan is not fully recovered, he has been lying down for the past few days, Boss Zhong doesn't know."

Of course Zhong Qiyun knew about it, but he seemed to suddenly remember it, and said, "Oh, I forgot about it, but Young Master Pei was so scared that day that he fell ill."

"Boss Zhong is running around all day long, so naturally he doesn't have time to take care of these things," Tan Yuanjin asked slowly, "I don't know how to sail, so I don't know what Boss Zhong is busy with."

There were a lot of people coming and going on the stairs, and Zhong Qiyun didn't want to talk to this person, so he just said: "Unloading and loading, arranging the life of the boatmen, hiring transit vehicles, inspecting and repairing ships are all busy things, let alone We are short on time, and we have to take advantage of the good weather to set sail in two days, so I naturally have to hurry up."

"Oh? Boss Zhong is so busy that he still has time to chat and eat with Consul Guo?" Tan Yuanjin snorted and said, "Boss Zhong seems to know Consul Guo very well. I saw you and him in the private room yesterday. Chatting and drinking, it's fun."

Yesterday... Zhong Qiyun remembered the things he and Xie Wenyuan talked about, and his eyelids twitched.Could it be that Tan Yuanjin was also overheard by spies?

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun remained calm, and only responded with a smile: "It is true that I have known him for a long time. I met him by chance this time, and I often communicate with Consul Guo because I want to catch up with the past." Zhong Qiyun said, turning around After talking about the topic, he said with a smile: "Master Yuan went downstairs to go out for a walk? It is really worth seeing the different flavors and tastes of Sangha City at night and Dazhu. It is getting late, so I won't waste your time. Let's start Farewell."

Tan Yuanjin nodded, before Zhong Qiyun walked past him step by step.

Zhong Qiyun, who watched Tan Yuanjin leave, immediately took big strides upstairs when he left the inn. He was planning to go back to his room.

He changed his mind and walked to Xie Wenyuan's door instead.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly remembered the incident of being drunk yesterday, so he couldn't let go of his raised hand.

After waiting for a long time, he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

But after a long time, no one answered in the room, Zhong Qiyun was about to knock again, when Xie Wenyuan's voice came from one side.

"Brother Zhong, what do you want me to do?"

Zhong Qiyun was startled, then turned around to look, Xie Wenyuan looked at him as usual.It seemed like yesterday hadn't affected him at all.

"It's something," Zhong Qiyun paused, "Let's go inside and talk."

Zhang Hong, who was beside Xie Wenyuan, couldn't help trembling, and then turned his head hastily, not daring to look at Zhong Qiyun again.

Xie Wenyuan naturally noticed Zhang Hong's reaction, he glanced sideways at Zhang Hong lightly, and Zhang Hong immediately lowered his head.

"Then go inside and talk." Xie Wenyuan stretched out his hand to push open the door, and stepped into the room first.

Zhong Qiyun followed Xie Wenyuan into the room, and when he turned around to close the door, he looked at Zhang Hong who was not about to enter the room with his head down. Did you hear me...
