There were not many Japanese pirates on this ship, it was probably a small number, and the others should be hiding or ambush in other places.
Danzhou is located in the north, with few human traces, and is full of barren mountains and wastelands. If the people from the Red Lotus Sect hadn't brought them here, they would never have discovered that there was such a big ship hidden here.
Now that Chengtian is facing external and internal troubles, Han Yun has a bad feeling that it is likely to encounter an unprecedented multi-national joint siege in the coming period.
Although the country is not eternal, it will definitely divide and reorganize after a long time. This is a natural cycle, just like being rich for only three generations.
"Ah Shen, what do you think we should do now? The emperor is probably no longer the same Jun Wenbo, and the Queen Mother must also be in danger."
Su Yining sighed, originally thinking that it would be good if he returned to Beijing to report to the emperor for support. Although they were unhappy with each other, it was not worth mentioning in the face of national events.
Han Yunshen also had a hard time making a choice. The emperor was definitely unreliable. The only ones he could rely on were the generals guarding the border.
"Now I have complete control of the 200,000 troops in the northwest, but these can only deal with the Turks. If something happens to Beiheng, I will not be able to do anything at all."
Su Yining rolled his eyes: "Why don't we go find my uncle, and we'll deal with King Li directly without stopping, and first seize the military power on the northern border."
"Nan Qing can only rely on King Nanyang for the time being. I wonder if Ouyang Lei is willing to help us!"
Han Yunshen agreed very much with Su Yining's idea and praised him repeatedly: "Xiao Ning, what you said makes sense, but before going to your uncle, we need to deal with this Japanese country first."
At the same time, dozens of secret guards were sent to deliver messages to princes on various borders. These matters were related to the interests of their personal fiefdoms. If the city was breached, their many years of establishment would be in vain.
"Are we going to cross the ocean?" Su Yining was more worried about the strength of the ship, and it was also very dangerous for them to rashly land on the Japanese islands.
Han Yunshen shook his head. He pointed to the huge ship in the distance and said: "I think there should be a group of Japanese pirates ashore. I just interrogated the slaves. According to them, there should be hundreds of Japanese pirates, but now there are only a few dozen!"
"These people brought a lot of supplies with them when they came. It seems they are preparing to station themselves somewhere."
And it was not just this ship that came with it, there were more than a dozen other ships. Han Yunshen was going to go to the prefect of Danzhou to ask for a map of this place.
"Ah Shen, the people in Danzhou seem to be very prosperous?" Walking in the town, you can see a prosperous scene, and the people's faces are filled with smiles.
The streets in the city are very clean and tidy, and there are no beggars, which is very rare.
"The streets are indeed very clean." A group of people dressed up and wandered around Danzhou City to see the folk customs and what the people thought of the prefect.
Several people came to a very popular tavern and sat down in a corner, listening to the chatter of the diners.
Sure enough, some people have seen Japanese people.
"Hey buddy, have you seen that big ship on the north coast?"
"I heard people say it, but I never dared to go and see it!"
"I heard that there are quite a few foreigners there, all of them bald and hairless, except for a strand of hair here."
"Shh, just one boat doesn't matter to you, I've seen dozens of them together!"
This sentence successfully attracted Su Yining's attention, and he listened with full concentration.
Seeing that everyone was happy to listen, the thin man couldn't help but feel proud of himself, and talked about what he saw and heard.
Han Yunshen winked at Jiawu, and the other party understood immediately, picked up the roast chicken and fine wine on the table and walked over.
Changzhizhizhi chatted like a good brother: "Brother, what you said is true or false, isn't it just a lie?"
As he spoke, he pushed the roast chicken in front of the man and motioned for him to enjoy it together.
The man who was questioned immediately became unhappy. After a few glasses of wine, he blushed and said, "Brother, do you think I'm bragging?"
"Isn't it true? Why are you the only one who sees so many ships and no one can see them?" Jiawu pretended to be confused, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Sure enough, the drunk man slammed the table and shouted: "I'm not lying. I told you that those turtles are hiding in the pirate cave. If you can see it, you've seen it!"
Pirate's Cave? After he yelled these words, he fell down on the stool in a daze, and was so drunk that he lost consciousness.
Han Yunshen and others immediately stood up and strode to the door of the restaurant, while Jiawu was still sitting there drinking, bragging and chatting with these people.
After they all dispersed, the man who had just been said to be drunk was also taken away by him calmly. Everyone felt that they were traveling together.
"Wow"
"Ah ah ah, it's raining, it's raining!" The drunk man was woken up by a basin of ice-cold water, and he saw a group of big men standing in front of him in a daze.
Thinking that he had offended someone by drinking too much, he quickly bowed and begged for mercy: "Hero, have mercy on me, hero, have mercy on me!"
"The younger one drank too much and was ignorant and offended several gentlemen. Can you please let me go?"
This person drinks frequently, so he doesn’t know what he did wrong. Anyway, it’s okay to apologize first. Judging from the way they dress, they are either rich or expensive.
At this time, Jiawu squatted in front of him, smiled and handed him a bowl of water: "Brother, do you still recognize me?"
"Hiss! You, you, are you the one who invited me to eat roast chicken and drink wine?" The man recalled it immediately and felt relaxed immediately.
Instead of kneeling, he changed to a relaxed posture and sat down: "Emma, brother, why did you start such a big fight and scared me to death?"
"You said you know where the pirate cave is?" Jiawu went straight to the point, and the smile on his face no longer turned into an expressionless cold expression.
Only then did the man understand their purpose, and said with a playful smile: "Brother, what I, the sixth, said are all bragging, don't believe it, don't believe it."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave. My wife is still waiting for me to come home for dinner." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Before he could reach the door, a cold and sharp sword was placed on his neck.
"Let's go, brother, I won't keep you anymore!" Jiawu's eyes flashed, and he was about to flip his wrist.
Suddenly, Lao Liu slapped his forehead in enlightenment and said: "Hey, big brother, where did you say it came from just now? Is it a pirate cave? I know this place well, I am familiar with it, can I take you there with me?"
Cold sweat was flowing down his temples, and he looked very funny with his whole body wet.
Seeing this, Jiawu put away his sword and took out a piece of silver from his arms.
"Brother, I can't let you work in vain. We heard that there is treasure in the pirate cave. Just show me the way and I won't treat you badly!"
If you have money, it's easier to do things. If you are polite first and then use force, let this old Liu know that they are not easy to mess with, and then use money to bribe them. This matter is considered to be properly arranged.
