Chapter 973 The situation in the South China Sea
In the South China Sea, Wu Laoqi and his men had been staying on a small island for some time. After a gust of storm, they stepped on the mud and watched a fleet of ships passing by him, counting the number of ships in total.
"Boss, these ships are all from Mr. Gu." Wu Laoqi's men whispered.
Wu Laoqi nodded slightly, "This is already the third wave. They are going back and forth so many times, and they seem to be transporting something."
"It must be something good. Should we go and see it too? Brothers have not opened for many days." Wu Laoqi's subordinates said excitedly: "Let's go to Nanzhao to have fun after getting the good things."
"Don't worry." Wu Laoqi watched the fleet float by, "We should not interfere in Gu Hou's business."
"Mr. Gu Hou, Mr. Gu Hou, maybe Mr. Gu Hou would have forgotten us a long time ago." Another man muttered.
"Shut up!" Wu Laoqi said a little boredly: "Gu Qing will not forget me. We are now pirates helping Mr. Gu Hou do things. It is really hard to say what will happen in the future. After all, the thief is thief, and the interests of the sea trade are too wide."
"The boss is right, none of those big guys are good things."
A boat came towards the island, and Wu Laoqi quickly said to his subordinates: "Stop talking, stop talking."
The boat was getting closer and closer to here. Seeing the boat approaching the shore, Wu Laoqi saw the black flag of the Tang Dynasty sea ship, and went forward to greet him immediately.
The boatman got off the boat. After seeing Wu Laoqi for several confirmations, he asked, "Dare you dare to ask, is Wu Laoqi?"
"It's just that." Wu Laoqi said with a smile: "Hahaha, I thought you had forgotten me as a person like Wu Laoqi."
"We will not forget you." The boatman smiled and handed over something, saying, "This telescope was handed over to you by Master Yan Liben."
"Typescope?" Wu Laoqi took the thing and said with a look: "How to use this thing? Is it glaze in it?"
"It's very good to see things in the distance, and look through this tube."
Listening to the words, Wu Laoqi looked at the distance of the sea with a telescope and said in surprise: "It's really a magical craftsmanship, there's such a good thing."
The boatman said again: "This thing is only available in our Tang Dynasty fleet now. You should pay attention to your situation when you use it. If someone knows it, it is difficult to explain."
"I understand, I understand." Wu Laoqi nodded vigorously.
"I cannot stay for a long time. Some things on the ship are handed over to you. You ask your brothers to move the things on the ship."
"Okay." Wu Laoqi called the brothers behind him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, move things!"
More than a dozen pirates in simple clothes immediately walked out and boarded the boat to start moving things.
The boatman continued, "Take a lot of wine, meat, some dishes, and five boxes of silver cakes for you to have fun for a while. I have to bring some words back. What are you doing during this period?"
Wu Laoqi took a jar of wine taken from the boat and drank it and took a sip and said, "What else can I do with my brothers? I watch the sunrise and sunset on the island every day. However, here is close to Nanzhao, and I have nothing to do. We will go to Nanzhao to have fun for a while. It will take only one day to go back and forth. Don't worry too much about us. We will have fun by ourselves when we get used to it."
"That's good." The boatman continued: "If you encounter any trouble, just send someone to the port to greet you. If something happens to you, you really can't find someone else to do it."
Wu Laoqi looked at several boxes of silver cakes and said, "Will this... be too many?"
"Not much, it's just a few corners for the interests of sea trade." The boatman smiled.
"There are too many corners." Wu Laoqi said, picking up a box of silver cakes and saying, "You can take a box away, just treat me, Wu Laoqi, and you will have to take care of it after I sell you a favor."
"You're welcome, I can't accept it, I'm just following the order." The boatman saw that everything had been moved down and said, "I'm leaving, take care of myself."
"This big brother." Wu Laoqi called the boatman again and said, "I have seen the fleet pass by here several times during this period. Is there business in this area of the South China Sea?"
"I don't know this." After saying that, the boatman turned over and climbed onto the boat, raised his sail.
Wu Laoqi continued to ask and watched the boat leave, and his smile disappeared and looked back at a group of brothers rushing to drink and eat meat. He cursed with some anger: "Look at what you all saw the wine one by one."
"Boss, these are the best Cheng Family Spirits. After drinking them in Chang'an last time, I almost forgot what it tastes."
"The boss also tasted it, and I could only drink it once."
Looking at these people, Wu Laoqi said loudly: "You guys are gone by then, I don't know why they will die."
Hearing this, all the pirates stopped drinking. Wu Laoqi rarely cursed like this and became quiet for a while.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Wu Laoqi held the telescope in his hand and looked at the boat getting farther and farther away, saying, "If Gu Qing just sent these foods, I don't care, but look at the boxes of silver coins, are you sleeping well with these silver coins?"
A group of people looked at Wu Laoqi.
"After collecting these money, Gu Qing will definitely let us work in the future. Maybe we will work hard. These things will be your money to buy on the road to the underworld."
A group of pirates came from the green forest, and they knew more or less in their hearts.
"Boss, what should we do in the future?"
"What else can I do?" Wu Laoqi said angrily, "Of course I'm finding a way out for myself."
"There is no way out in this vast ocean." Several subordinates were also panicked.
"Go to Nanzhao!" Wu Laoqi continued: "We go to Nanzhao to buy a piece of land. The money is enough for us to buy a large piece of land in Nanzhao. Build a mountain along the sea. If something happens, we can go out to sea at any time. If someone surrounds our coast, we can escape into Nanzhao. At least the Nanzhao Kingdom can help us delay for a long time, spend money to buy land, and spend money to buy Nanzhao's royal family. We cannot give our lives to Gu Qing like this."
"The boss is right. We can't just hand over our lives to Gu Qing."
Another person said, "Boss, what should we do when Gu Qing tells us to do business? Did you ignore Gu Qing?"
