Chapter 891 Encountering pirates

Ever since the Spice Island matter was confirmed, everyone was excited.

Everyone knows the price of spices in Chang'an, and they are consumables. You have to buy them again when you use them up, so spices have always been in short supply.

Even if the smallest ship in the fleet is filled with spices, it can earn more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan or more after moving to Chang'an.

However, among the merchants, some were happy and some were sad. Fortunately, they listened to Li Feng and emptied the ship. There was no cargo except food and water.

The worried businessman just didn't listen to Li Feng and refused to sell the goods on the ship. He wanted to transport the goods to other countries and sell them at a higher price.

Now when they hear that there is a spice island, they don't know whether it is better to leave these goods on the island to contain spices, or to continue transporting the goods to other countries and sell them at a high price.

Li Feng ignored the mood of the businessmen, and instead he and Li Wan cast fishing nets on the sea.

Except for the two of them, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong were all casting nets. There was no other way. They were tired of fishing and it was a waste of time. It would be faster and more abundant to just use nets.

For this reason, they often bet that whoever catches less will jump into the sea and swim. For this reason, Cheng Yaojin has lost more than ten times.

Li Er is the only one fishing now. Occasionally, Li Xiaogong will accompany Li Er to fish, and Li Feng will accompany him. Only Cheng Yaojin has no interest at all.

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "I don't believe it. Why do you win every time and I lose every time?"

Li Feng smiled and said: "Luck, it's just that I have better luck. Without my good luck, how could I win?"

Li Xiaogong also smiled and said: "Old Cheng, this is God's will. There is no way. If you want to defeat us, you have learned a lot."

"Humph, if you don't tell me, I'll figure it out myself." Cheng Yaojin said unconvinced.

Li Er couldn't help but said: "Yao Jin, if you follow the way you cast the net, you will never be able to defeat them in this life."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with my net-casting posture?"

Li Er shook his head and said, "You will know by yourself when you see them casting the net."

Li Feng said: "Father-in-law, you are helping Lao Cheng. It is considered cheating, so let's forget this game.

"

"Yes, it doesn't count. Your Majesty can't give advice to Lao Cheng." Li Xiaogong said.

"Huh, I don't need your Majesty's advice. Today's game doesn't count. Let's start over." Cheng Yaojin said unhappily. He was not an innumerable person. What's more, swimming in the sea is still very difficult on such a hot day.

comfortable.

"Woooo..."

Suddenly, the horn sounded.

Li Feng and others stood up one after another. This was the horn sound of discovering the island.

They had changed their course for eight days. According to their estimates, it would take another two days to reach the Spice Island, but they saw the island today, which made them very surprised.

Li Feng and others picked up their telescopes and looked at the island.

"Mr. Sir, there is really an island ahead. Is that the Spice Island?"

Li Feng looked at the island in front of him and said, "I haven't been there either, so I don't know."

Cheng Yaojin held up the telescope and said, "That's not right. Why are there so many ships there, more than a dozen?"

Li Er and others looked over with telescopes, and sure enough they found more than a dozen ships.

Li Feng said: "I don't know if they are merchant ships or pirates, so let everyone be on guard."

"Woooo..."

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of the trumpet of alert was heard, followed by the sound of war drums, and all the warships were ready.

Cheng Yaojin said excitedly: "I often hear you mention pirates, but I haven't seen them yet. Today I finally saw them. I have to fight them well."

Li Feng said: "Lao Cheng, this is not land. We must be cautious in everything. The boat is our only guarantee. Without a boat, we may have a dead end on the vast sea."

Li Er said: "Yes, be careful and don't take them lightly because you think they are just a few thieves. This is not land, this is the sea. Warships are the only guarantee. Without warships, we may be killed as fishermen."

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Look at our warships, but their ships can be sunk if we just ram them."

"It's not advisable to hurt others by one thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred." Li Feng said.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Then tell me what to do."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Liu Rengui, you are the commander now

, I leave it to you to take charge here and let everyone see what you have learned."

"Yes." Liu Rengui accepted the order.

At this time, Liu Rengui's whole aura changed. He was like a superior. Li Er and others were stunned for a moment, and then started to admire him.

"Li Feng is very good at selecting people." Li Er said with appreciation.

Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Li Feng smiled and did not answer. He could not tell them that the people he chose would be famous people in later generations, especially Xue Rengui.

Everyone saw Liu Rengui sending a ship to contact the dozen or so ships.

"Please stop the ships ahead. We are the Tang Navy and we need to inspect your ships."

"Please stop the ships ahead. We are the Tang Navy and we need to inspect your ships."

"Please stop the ships ahead. We are the Tang Navy and we need to inspect your ships."

After shouting three times in a row, the other party's ships did not stop because of Tang Jun's shouts.

On the opponent's main ship, a man with golden hair looked at the huge fleet in front of him, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

"Brothers, our chance to make a fortune has come." Tash shouted excitedly to the crew.

"Oh oh oh oh……"

The crew members roared with excitement.

Suddenly they all heard the request of the Tang Army fleet, and Tash smiled.

"Does the Tang Dynasty have a navy?" He then shouted to everyone: "Don't be deceived, little ones. The Tang Dynasty has no navy at all. Everyone rushes up and robs their goods. The women stay and all the men are killed.

Already."

"Oh oh oh..." All the pirates shouted involuntarily.

Yes, they are pirates. They often rob merchant ships passing by. They use Spice Island as their base. All ships passing by or landing on the island will be robbed by them.

However, the number of ships passing there was not very large, so many merchant ships were not safe. Even if it was known that other merchant ships had not reached Datang, it would not arouse everyone's suspicion.

Because there are countless situations where ships are silent when they encounter them at sea.

When the Tang Army's vanguard warship saw that the other party had no intention of stopping, it informed the main ship, Liu Rengui of the sailing battleship, that the other party might be a pirate.
