An urgent and violent sound of horse hooves came from the sun salt base. Not long after, a dozen people were seen rushing out of the gate on horses, followed by hundreds of armored soldiers and a black-clad Xiaotian.
Wei, stepped onto the official road and headed south.
When there were only sparse figures left in the distance, Jiu'er, who was standing next to the stone monument, pouted: "Oh, Jiu'er really wants to go, I haven't been on a boat since I was a child!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran, who was standing nearby, raised his hand and touched her head: "Okay, it's not too late to take you to play after my uncle solves the problem!"
"Okay!" Jiu'er reluctantly nodded. In fact, taking the boat was the next best thing. She just wanted to help her uncle kill a few bandits, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't know how to swim. Going there might not help, so it was better not to cause trouble.
Well, just as he was about to hold his young lady's arm and return to the camp, he noticed something strange about the latter and suddenly became nervous: "Miss!"
Jiang Ran frowned, covered his chest with his hands, and couldn't help but bend down and retched.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you eat the wrong thing?" Jiu'er patted her back gently.
Jiang Ran quickly straightened up again, clasped his hands on his chest, breathing a little quickly, a touch of red rose on his face, and shook his head: "I haven't eaten today, and I didn't find anything wrong last night, hey.
"My husband is right, my body is indeed much worse than before."
But Jiu'er thought of a possibility, widened his eyes and shouted: "Miss, are you pregnant?"
"Impossible, I had my period last month." Jiang Ran shook his head again.
"But, miss, you are not bleeding, you just have abdominal pain, have you forgotten?" Jiu'er reminded softly.
After listening to her words, Jiang Ran froze on the spot. If she was really pregnant with Tang Ji's child, she would be happy. However, Mu Ying said that she could not get pregnant before her husband's poison was removed, otherwise it might affect the child. She couldn't help but feel sad.
worry.
Jiu'er knew what she was thinking, and without hesitation, she took Jiang Ran's hand and said, "Miss, let's go to Mr. Nangong and ask for details first. Even if she is pregnant, he will definitely have a solution!"
Jiang Ran did not refuse and let her pull her forward. However, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the official road not far behind him. He didn't know whether he was surprised or happy to learn the news!

On Long'an Beach, about fifteen miles away from Yinshui Bay, Tang Ji raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. For some reason, he suddenly couldn't concentrate and felt a little irritable, but he didn't know what was bothering him. He couldn't help but vomit.
Smell at the mouth.
"What's wrong?" Hua Yuan'er saw his restless look and couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"I don't know why, but I feel uneasy. It must be an illusion!" Tang Ji shook his head and replied.
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er's eyes widened: "You'd better be delusional!"
Then he added: "How about we go another day?"
This night attack on Aotian Island sounded unreliable. Drifting on the sea at night, he might encounter some kind of danger. He had learned about the origin of Tang Ji's "God of Plague" and "Disaster Star" in Kyoto, and now he even
This kid has a bad premonition. If they run away again, they will die!
Tang Jin raised his thick eyebrows. After attacking the camp yesterday morning, the group of pirates actually came over from 6 in the middle of the night. If Xiaotianwei hadn't discovered it in time, the food and main accounts in the salt base would have suffered. In addition,
The spy reported that they had returned to the island to rest, so now was the best time to take action. After thinking about it, he replied: "I have already given the order, and it is difficult to take it back. Tossing it back and forth is the most damaging to the military's morale!
"
Ye Xiao, who was standing nearby, patted Hua Yuan'er on the shoulder: "Brother Hua, don't worry, Brother Tang is a lucky star and will definitely keep you and me safe and sound."
"Hopefully!" Hua Yuan'er spread his hands helplessly and followed this kid. He was used to it every time it wasn't a near-death encounter!
After a long time, more than 500 people who knew water or had some knowledge of water, selected from Xiaotianwei and Xiaolinwei, as well as the Sun family, rushed to Long'an Beach one after another.

"Master Tang, building this ship almost cost my Sun family all their wealth. It uses the best materials. It is very strong and can accommodate a thousand people. You will definitely be able to kill all the pirates who have committed crimes by driving it."
Destroy!" Sun Zhong led Tang Ji and others onto the boat, chatted for a few words with a smile, and then got them familiar with each other.
Tang Ji looked around. This ship was indeed very luxurious. It was bigger than the Aotian Gang's ship. If this ship was damaged, and the government was very stubborn, the compensation would not be paid in less than 35 years. It would be really difficult.
There was no room for reasoning. No wonder the Sun family was unwilling to lend it. He coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Tang Ji will bear in mind the righteousness of the Sun family. If the merchant ship is damaged, I will repair it or compensate you in time."
Hearing this, Sun Zhong nodded with peace of mind. After all, Tang Ji was a man who was not short of money!
But far away in Kyoto, when Tang Ji was trying to steal one hundred thousand taels of silver, his majesty asked him to find a way to make up for it. Song Kui, who was troubled, couldn't help but sneeze.
After a short while, Sun Zhong took Tang Ji around the boat and returned to the wooden platform connected to the shore: "Master Tang, the boatmen on my boat are all experienced, as well as the boatmen rowing below.
The common people also stayed behind and were at the disposal of Mr. Tang. The common people only had one merciless request. They also hoped that Mr. Tang would take care of their safety when encountering danger. Of course, I have no other intentions.
Mr. Tang is very thoughtful and intelligent, so he will be able to wipe out the bandits easily!"
"Thank you, Master Sun. I hope Master Sun can rest assured. As long as Tang Ji is still alive, I will try my best to protect the people on your ship." Tang Ji responded politely.
"That's very good. The little fellow is leaving first. I wish you all the best!" Sun Zhong said a few words and got off the boat with two guards.
Soon after, the sky gradually darkened, and the wooden platforms connected to the shore and the huge wooden and stone anchors standing on the shore were taken back one after another. As the order to "set sail" was given, the sails were hoisted, and the boatmen below gathered together.
Sliding the oars, the big ship started to move slowly.
Looking at the giant thing that was getting away, a guard standing next to Sun Zhong asked in a low voice: "Master, don't we really send someone to say hello to Dong Wei? What if these officers and soldiers die in pride?"
On Tiandao, Aotian Gang will not let us go from now on!"
"They still have a future?" Sun Zhong put away his smile and sneered.

Tang Ji climbed up to the third rank official position step by step at an age that was not as good as the weak crown, which is enough to prove his extraordinary. Being able to bring only a few hundred people there shows that he has the confidence to win. The Aotian Gang has succeeded this time, but
This can only be said that those pirates regardless of their severity deserve it. In this way, the Sun family does not have to pay any more protection fees for shipping goods, and they have also contacted Jiran Chamber of Commerce. Overall, it is not a loss, and no more
Thinking too much, he waved his sleeves lightly, turned around and left.
In the cabin, a skinny old man pointed to the map on the table and explained to Tang Ji: "Master Tang, this is Aotian Island. The wind is not going well tonight. With the current boat speed, it will take about two days to get there."
It will take an hour to arrive.”
Tang Ji looked down. According to the map, Aotian Island was only fifteen nautical miles away from the coast. In later generations, it would only take an hour at most. But after all, we are still in the age of wind power and we cannot ask for so much.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After chatting with the old captain for a few words, Tang Ji got out of the cabin, went up to the top floor from the side corridor, lay down by the wooden fence, and then looked at the sea in the faint light of the fire. He couldn't help but remember that he drowned while saving someone in his previous life.
He chuckled lightly: "Should I hate it, or should I thank those three women for sending me here without even giving me a chance to say goodbye to my parents? But, if I didn't come here
Bian, I might not be able to meet so many friends or that silly girl."
Perhaps it was because he had touched the secret hidden deep in his heart that tears flashed from the corners of his eyes, and he shouted uncontrollably: "Dad, Mom, I am fine here, and you have a very beautiful and virtuous man."
Daughter-in-law, you must take good care of yourselves. If your son is unfilial, he will repay your kindness in the next life!"
After finishing speaking, he leaned against the wooden railing and slowly lowered his body, finally sitting on the wooden board, looking up to the sky and staring blankly.
Ye Xiao, who was drinking with Sun Yufu below, looked up: "Brother Tang, are you missing your family?"
"Oh, I didn't expect this kid to have sad moments." Hua Yuan'er on the side was affected, and the scene of his parents being killed appeared in his mind. He gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and then took a big gulp of wine.
Sun Yufu smacked his lips. He wanted to laugh at their immature minds, but he inadvertently remembered the girl who stood on the tower to bet and play with him, and her eyes were slightly cloudy.
In this way, one person passed on to another, and with the waning moon in the sky, everyone on the boat missed their relatives.
Of course, except for those who are lying on the side of the boat and are about to spit out their bile!
After driving for more than an hour, Tang Ji put away his emotions and climbed up from the wooden railing. He felt something strange. It was too quiet both on the boat and on the sea. He walked along the wooden railing to the end of the bed.
Suddenly, he noticed a faint light appearing in the distance. He rubbed his eyes, then squinted and stared away. To make sure he saw it correctly, he clenched his fists suddenly and was about to shout, but was beaten by a voice from below.
