Chapter 120 Escort
Four ships formed a fleet. Yu Xiaotian's ship took the lead in front and raised their golden sea wolf flag high, highlighting their identity, while Zhou Xian and other three merchant ships followed and gradually entered the waterway on the west side of the sea.
After entering the Haitan Strait, the number of ships passing here has gradually increased. In fact, for merchant ships, the most dangerous route in this area is in this section.
Nearby pirates choose this area as their hunting area and wait for merchant ships to pass by here. Once they get it, they can also leave here quickly, and it is more convenient for them to ship.
If it faces north, it will be closer to Dalian Island. The pirates have now formed a tacit understanding and generally will not hunt around Dalian Island, so as not to offend the interests of other peers and attract groups to attack it. Therefore, as long as they enter the strait on the west side of the sea, they will be basically safe in no time.
Some ships encountered along the way began to avoid the ship with the sea wolf flag, but then they were a little confused, because they actually saw three merchant ships following the pirate ship and forming a fleet with the pirate ship.
This is really a little confusing. Some people speculate that these three ships are the prey of the pirates with the sea wolf flag in front of them, and even the ship and its people have been caught, but they don't think they look like it.
But ordinary people did not have the courage to come and inquire. They could only turn the rudder far away to avoid it. On the way, at the southern entrance of the Strait, Yu Xiaotian and the others finally met a ship of their company.
The ship couldn't see the way it came from. It stared at them from afar, followed them a few miles away from their right, sailed north together, and then quietly disappeared behind an island. I guessed to see Yu Xiaotian's signboard. I really couldn't understand it, and I didn't dare to come over easily find faults, so I had to choose. Give up.
But not long after they entered the strait, two other ships appeared in front of them. The two boats were also stunned for a while. After observing them from afar, they began to drive towards them.
After the distance was closer, the upper bucket on the mast shouted to Yu Xiaotian below, "Steering, on the coming boat, one boat hung a green flag and the other one hung a blue flag!"
After Yu Xiaotian heard that a boat was hanging a green flag, his heart moved, so he went to the side of the ship and looked in the direction of the incoming ship. He vaguely saw that the boat with the green flag seemed familiar, so he roughly guessed that he met "acquaintance" again this time.
But he was sure that he had never seen the other ship before, so he turned around and ordered the whole ship to start preparing for battle.
Zhou Xian and other three merchant ships following them. At this time, the boatmen and shipowners also tightened their nerves one by one. They knew that the most dangerous places in this area had arrived, and most of the robbed ships in Fuzhou happened in this area.
Now two pirate ships have come, and it is impossible for them to calm down. Even if there are pirates calling themselves sea wolves in front of them to escort them, they can't be completely relieved.
Although they put forward conditions to let this group of sea wolves escort them through this area, and Zhou Xian and the shipowner surnamed Yang, after meeting Yu Xiaotian, felt that Yu Xiaotian, the thief, seemed to be a more reasonable person and more at ease.
But people are separated from each other. They are only friends with Yu Xiaotian and can only bet that Yu Xiaotian is a moral person. However, if Yu Xiaotian is not moral at all as they guessed, then they can only admit that they are unlucky.
Now the boat owner surnamed Yang has begun to regret the proposal he put forward on the ship and let the sea wolf escort them across the waters. In case the surnamed Yu is not a good thing, he promised at that time, but after arriving here, he regretted it, so their three ships can be regarded as It was he who sent himself to the tiger's mouth.
At first, when I was in the bay sheltered from the wind, the surname Yu had to be one against three (their boat basically didn't work) and didn't want to completely tear up with them, but now there are two pirate ships. Once the surname Yu is im moral, he will fight back and follow the other two pirates. If the ship partners to deal with these three ships...
The older shipowner surnamed Yang became more and more afraid he thought about it. He couldn't help but turn his legs a little and almost couldn't stand still. He almost ordered to turn the rudder, leave the small fleet and escape by himself.
And Zhou Xian and another shipowner are no different from Yang's. They are all standing on the boat one by one, sweating coldly. They feel that it is not a good idea to listen to Yang's words. Their idea with Yang are afraid that the seawolves in front of them will not be moral, and they will not protect them now. Instead, he would turn around and take the opportunity to swallow them.
As the two pirate ships got closer and closer, the people on the three merchant ships behind became more and more nervous. They all opened their eyes and stared at the sea wolf boat in front of them. They made up their minds that once these sea wolves did not keep their promises, they would immediately disperse and could escape one by one, saving them. It was completely caught by the ships of these three pirates.
However, the performance of the sea wolves reassured them more or less. They soon saw that the troops on the sea wolf's ship began to gather in line on the ship and quickly made a posture to respond to the battle, and the bow was slightly adjusted, turning to the two pirate boats that came over, protecting the three ships behind them. The right side.
Knowing people knew at a glance that the sea wolf did this, blocking the way of the two pirate ships and protecting their flanks. Once the two pirate ships wanted to attack them, they could at least drag one of them and cover them from here.
Zhou Xian wiped his cold sweat, and some neurotic people read words in their mouths, kept talking about Mazu's blessing, Buddha's blessing and so on. From time to time, he also said that they would meet good people this time, which made the boatmen on his ship nervous.
But Yu Xiaotian doesn't know how the people in the three boats behind him are at this moment. He also began to get nervous. After all, he is not Zhang Hu. He is very famous in this area, and no one dares to provoke him. He is just new to come here. If he wants to be famous, he doesn't have much strength. His peers can buy him. , you can also not buy him, or even deal with him together. In that case, his business this time will not be worth the loss.
But now he can't regret it. He never thought that he would abandon the three boats behind him and leave alone. This is not his character. In his life dogma, keeping promises is the most basic one. A man should be like a man. If there is a good thing, there is danger. Shrinking, that's a turtle, not a man.
Under his order, the ship turned its steering and stopped the two ships that came. Sure enough, it was indeed an "old acquaintance" this time.
On the green flag, there is a Liu character in the big book, as well as the shape of his lucky boat, which all indicate his identity. Who else can be in the sea in this area? It is the Liu Yidao that Yu Xiaotian met at the beginning.
As for the other ship, Yu Xiaotian doesn't know or see it, let alone his identity, but it is likely that Liu Yidao recently brought together, but it will never be the previous Zhou Cannon, because Zhou Cannon has been killed by him by Yu Xiaotian at this time.
"It turns out that he is really in charge! Nice to meet you!" Liu Yidao stood on the side of the ship and ordered the sail to stop the ship. At the same time, he held his fist and shouted to Xiaotian from afar.
And the other ship that followed Liu Yidao's boat also took the initiative to drop the sail and speed down, without threatening posture.
Yu Xiaotian saw that Liu Yidao and the others did not show hostility for the time being, so he also ordered his men to put away the guys to avoid unnecessary conflicts. He stood far away on the side of the ship and held his fists and shouted, "It turned out to be Liu. It's a pleasure to meet you! Long time no see. How is Brother Liu today?
After falling the sail, the ship quickly lost its power and gradually stopped. Liu Yidao's ship and Yu Xiaotian's ship were staggered with Yu Xiaotian's boat only more than 20 meters apart, but neither side made a threat to each other. Liu Yidao was still dressed as before, dressed in brocade and green robes, standing on the boat with a trace of surprise. The side laughed at Xiaotian and said, "Everything is fine! Everything is fine! Ha ha! Liu was looking for the head recently, but he didn't expect to meet him here today!
This is also good. There is one thing I want to ask the owner. Some time ago, Liu heard that the owner suddenly took someone to kill Zhou Dapao in Donghai Village, where he was located, and took it off in one fell swoop. I don't know why?
After listening to Yu Xiaotian, he added a bit of vigilance in his heart, because after all, when he saw Liu Yidao for the first time, it happened that Liu Yidao and Zhou Dapao went hunting together, indicating that at least the two sides were a little friendship. As soon as they met Liu Yidao, they directly asked about this matter. Maybe he had the idea of sinning him.
So he and the people on the boat immediately added a caution. Yu Xiaotian smiled dryly and said, "It turns out that Brother Liu wants to ask about this! Yes, that's exactly what I did! ..." Yu Xiaotian was not talkative. He immediately told Liu Yidao about how Zhou cannon attacked his island and killed his second head, and told Liu Yidao that it was impolite. In this case, it was also appropriate for him to copy Zhou cannon's nest.
I didn't expect Liu Yidao to suddenly laugh after hearing this, clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother Yu did a good job! That Zhou really deserves to die! It's good to kill!"
At this time, Yu Xiaotian should be dizzy. Originally, he thought that Liu Yidao and Zhou Cannon must have some friendship. Even if it was not his fault, after he killed Zhou Cannon, Liu Yidao would not be happy to know it, but he didn't expect Liu Yidao to clap his hands, which made him unable to understand.
So he asked doubtfully, "Brother Liu, aren't you annoyed?"
Liu Yidao waved his hand and said, "What are you annoyed about? At the beginning, Liu didn't know who Zhou was. After two times before, he knew that the guy was not a thing. He didn't expect that the guy's retribution came so quickly and was killed by the Yu brothers. It was really gratifying! Why is Liu angry with him?
To be honest, if he hadn't died quickly, it won't be long for these colleagues around us to destroy him. This guy is really not a thing, and he deserves to die!
Liu admired his brother's means and killed such a scourge when he first came!"
