This time, the person responsible for guiding the way was Rong Zhao.
Because there is a fog formation on the sea, and it is night now, we basically have to rely on experience rather than eyes.
So Rong Zhao decided to do it himself.
This night even the three children rarely stayed awake.
Lin Mengya did not let them go to the deck. Instead, she followed the children in the house and listened to what was going on outside anytime and anywhere.
It was almost early in the morning when they finally walked out of the fog formation guarding Xuanhuo Island. At the same time, everyone on the ship also grabbed their weapons.
Because they are about to face the final test, which is the Xiao family who are guarding outside.
Although the path they chose this time was not the same as the one the Xiao family took.
But there are some things that we have to guard against.
What surprised them was that the sea outside was calm and there was no sign of any ships. Could it be that the Xiao family had evacuated?
Soon the news reached Lin Mengya's ears.
She was also a little surprised.
"Let everyone continue to be careful and don't let down your guard. There may be fraud." She said.
Bai Su immediately passed on this order. After that, everyone still did not relax their vigilance, but continued to move forward for about two hours, and the sky was getting darker.
Just when everyone thought that tonight was going to be uneventful, suddenly there was a sound of fighting from a distance.
Mr. Cheng decisively turned the wheel.
There is a protruding reef, which looks like a small island from a distance, which can just cover up the shape of their big ship.
This was also thanks to the island owner who showed the way, otherwise it would be difficult for them to find this location on this vast sea.
When the boat stopped temporarily, Lin Mengya put it down, and the children who were already asleep followed Bai Su out.
"Have you checked the situation before?" she asked in a low voice.
They had already put down three small boats, which was just enough to get a clear picture of the situation ahead. At this time, two small boats had just returned, and they realized that someone was actually fighting in front of them.
"Have you seen clearly whose boat it is?" Rong Zhao asked worriedly.
The subordinates replied: "One of them should belong to the Xiao family, and the other two that besieged the Xiao family's ships are unknown to which family they belong to, but we have written down the signs on the ships."
After Rong Zhao identified it, he realized that one of the boats belonged to another Nanyu family, and the remaining boat belonged to the Nanyu Tu family.
"This Tu family is related by marriage to the Mo family in the Southern Territory. However, I heard that the relationship between the two families is not very good, and the Tu family's behavior has become more and more extreme in recent years."
"But they have never had any conflicts with the Xiao family. Why did they choose to besiege the Xiao family at this time?"
Aunt Rong is naturally much clearer about the situation of these southern aristocratic families than Lin Mengya.
So there were things that even she couldn't figure out, let alone Lin Mengya.
However, the Tu family and the Mo family are related by marriage...
Before they left, they had greatly cheated the Mo family, so even if they met in the Southern Region, they would not show mercy.
But based on the current situation, it would be best for them to pretend that nothing happened and not get involved!
They waited like this for about half a day before they discovered that the three ships over there had disappeared.
Long Tianyu asked Mr. Cheng to continue sailing the boat. When passing by the area where the previous three ships were, they found dozens of floating corpses lying on the sea.
It is said that when the king of hell fights, the devil will suffer.
These people just worked hard for their respective families, but they didn't expect that their end would be to be buried in the sea.
But when Lin Mengya passed by, something suddenly occurred to her, and she ordered the boat to be temporarily stopped, and then the bodies were salvaged.
Rong Zhao endured the strong discomfort and asked with some confusion: "Girl Huo, it's not a pity for these people to die. Just let them drift on the sea. Why are you so kind? They are all dead anyway."
She doesn't have any good impression of these aristocratic families. After all, although these people are dog-eat-dog now, once they deal with Xuanhuo Island, they will be more ruthless than anyone else.
She still remembered the tragic history filled with blood and tears left by her ancestors. If it hadn't been for the pursuit and interception of these people, Xuanhuo Island would not have been able to survive until now.
You must know that the smelting technology of the ancestors was also developed by themselves. They did not hide the things they created, but chose to sell them to others openly, and the prices were very favorable.
But these people are ambitious and greedy. They are either interested in ore or the secret recipe for smelting.
At the beginning, the ancestors did not want to conflict with them, and even took a step back and asked to share with them.
But unexpectedly, this group of people not only refused to agree, but also used various means to rob them.
If the ancestors hadn't been united enough at that time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive now.
Lin Mengya looked at the corpse on the sea, and then whispered something to Rong Zhao.
"Although these corpses are useless, the clothes and accessories on them may be of great use in the future."
Rong Zhao was also able to reveal it in just one moment, and then she showed a very admiring smile to Lin Mengya and praised: "You really make the best use of everything!"
Lin Mengya waved her hand, "This is all a trivial matter. Okay, there's nothing going on outside. Aunt Rong, please go back and rest first. You didn't sleep all night last night. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Rong Zhao actually didn't feel very tired.
To be honest, although she goes out several times every year, she has never been as excited as this time.
Her mind has been thinking about how far she can go in the future.
According to the Huo girl, maybe they can reach a new height!
When she thought of this, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, but Lin Mengya had expected it, so she ordered some incense to help her sleep in her room in advance.
Lin Mengya knew that many people on the ship were sleeping day and night, fearing that they would eventually break down their bodies, so she developed some sleep-aid incense that could be used to aid sleep but would not harm the body.
And after she was given the order, she went back to catch up on her sleep with her man.
This time, with Aunt Rong as their guide, they had a smooth journey and encountered almost no trouble.
About half a month later, they finally saw the shadow of land.
Lin Mengya and the others changed into clothes, which were made according to Aunt Rong's instructions.
Although Aunt Rong did not ask them where they were from, she knew that they were definitely not from the Northern Territory.
Although the people in the Northern Territory are not extremely xenophobic, they pride themselves on being of noble origin and look down on businessmen from outside the territory.
If you are recognized by them as a first time visitor, you are likely to face various difficulties.
Lin Mengya already knew about these things before, and they had already prepared countermeasures.
But one more thing is better than one less thing. If Aunt Rong can help them avoid it, that will naturally be the best. Rong Zhao pointed to the coastline and introduced: "There are dozens of ports, large and small, here, each port The families behind them all are different. But in fact, they are also working together behind the scenes, and the fees they charge are also higher than the others.
Jia Gao, please come with me to the port I often go to later, I have already established a relationship."
Lin Mengya and the others are naturally omnipotent.
The Northern Territory, this behemoth that they had imagined thousands of times, finally appeared in front of them, slowly unfolded the picture.
As soon as Lin Mengya got closer, she knew that this was really different from home.
The seaport here is really bustling.
In addition to all kinds of boats, there are stalls of various sizes selling food on the sea and on the shore.
But the things on these people’s hands are filled with moisture, and it’s easy to step on them. Many foreigners who come here for the first time will fall into this trap.
According to Aunt Rong, these small traders are inextricably linked to the backers behind the ports.
Maybe they were just fooled here, but they were already eyeing these first-timers as fat sheep.
Being tricked, cheated, or robbed has become the most common accident.
When Lin Mengya heard this, she couldn't help but frown. She didn't expect that the business environment in the Northern Territory was so chaotic.
Aren't they afraid that those merchants will never come again? Lin Mengya also asked her question, but Aunt Rong shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not because there are the most people here in the North Territory, and at the same time this Bian is also considered the safest, and those businessmen who do business outside the territory cannot do anything about it.
If you go elsewhere, you can only choose to get a bite of food here."
Lin Mengya nodded to indicate that she understood. It turned out to be because she had no choice.
Soon, they reached the shore.
As a result, before the boat could stop, someone stood on the shore and scolded them.
"Do you know the rules here? If you dare to stop the boat without paying, believe it or not, I will kick you out?"
As a result, Aunt Rong stood on the boat and spat on the people below.
"Get out of here! Do you really think I was taken advantage of for the first time? If you dare to make any noise again, I will let the person in charge skin you!"
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were stunned. They didn't expect that just now Aunt Rong was saying not to offend this person easily. How come she was scolding him now?
Who would have expected that the imposing guy who had been thrusting his waist just now, when he heard this, he quickly bent down and apologized, and ran away in a hurry.
Lin Mengya was dumbfounded.
Rong Zhao turned around and saw the couple, and explained: "They are not from this port, they are just gangsters who plundered sheep nearby."
"They just looked at our ship and were surprised, so they wanted to come up and deceive us. If it was the first time, they would be fooled, and then they could extort a sum of money." "When the time comes, the port will arrive. When someone comes to collect the money, the boatman will definitely say that he has already paid it, but he cannot find the person who took their money, and in the end he can only consider himself unlucky."
