Chapter 374 : Pirates

Xiao Yun knew that if he didn't tell the things along the way, it would be strange if the two of them didn't swallow him alive? He then mixed himself into Gaoyou along the way. How did he meet Fang Guozhen and others in Gaoyou, and then brought back to Shuangyu Island by Fang Guozhen and others. How could he tactfully escape from the island? At the end, he even said that he had a long life of death in Fang Guozhen's cave. He could speak eloquently, and he was about to say this. The fight that was originally without suspense was also thrilling, and he was so excited that he could only kill him. He only made the little princess beside him frightened. He heard that at the end, Xiao Yunli had no brothers in the house. He imagined Xiao Yun's heroic appearance in his mind. His heart was thrilling and said to himself: "He is so brave, dare to fight against a large group of pirates with one man?"

Tuotuo and Hass were surprised when they heard this. He really couldn't imagine that Xiao Yun met Fang Guozhen by chance, and persuaded Fang Guozhen and got Zhang Shicheng's city defense map from it. All of this seemed incredible to him. "Hurry up, "Since Fang Guozhen is a pirate, aren't you afraid that after I captured Zhang Shicheng, I will mobilize a large army to attack his Shuangyu Island?"

Xiao Yun said: "What the Lord said is that Fang Guozhen had no intention of rebelling, but she gathered on the sea with Cai Lutou. Fang Guozhen's enemies took the opportunity to falsely accuse him of others of being wronged and the injustice in his heart could not be complained. The Fang brothers had nowhere to hide, so they rebel against the court and went into the sea to become robbers. After going out to sea, he first found Cai Lutou and became pirates. Soon Cai Lutou and the officers and soldiers were killed, and Fang Guozhen became the leader. He snatched past merchant ships at sea and robbed a lot of finances. After that, he recruited soldiers in Dongjishan. He had a group of displaced fishermen and bandits to surrender. A few months later, many people came."

Tuotuo listened for a while and his face looked a little ugly. He heard about Fang Guozhen. In the early years, he heard from Zhejiang Province that he was on the beach in Huangyanzhou in Taizhou. Because it was close to the coastal areas, there were many islands there. People often made a living by fishing or long-distance transportation. Most of them were honest people who worked hard, but there were also people who were forced by life and went into the sea to become robbers and robbed at the sea.

At that time, a thief named Cai killed people and seized goods from merchant ships at sea. The method of committing crimes was very cruel. It was not counted if he robbed the goods. He never left a living under his command, and all men, women, young and old were killed. This made the people on the coast of Taizhou very scared, so he secretly gave the pirate the name "Cai Luantou".

As the saying goes, "Food the mountains and water, Taizhou is close to the sea. People here live by the sea for many years. Fishermen always make a living at sea for many years, hoping to catch a few fish and sell them on the shore to make a full meal for their wives, children and parents at home. For this reason, they often don't go home for several months and wander on the sea. Once they encounter pirates, the harvest of the year is not counted, and their lives are often not guaranteed. The wives, children and parents at home are looking forward to it, fearing. Once they meet pirates, the family can only cry without tears when they look at the boundless sea.

In view of this, the court organized many officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress Cai's rebellion. Helplessly, the officers and soldiers of the court lived on the shore with troubles and were completely ignorant of the vast sea. After a while, the more soldiers were sent, they were still unable to find their traces.

The Fang family has been selling salt and transporting goods for generations. Their parents died early. The eldest brother Fang Guoxin was a hot-hearted person. The second brother Guozhang was calm and the third brother Fang Guozhen was tall and big, and he was cunning. The five brothers depended on each other for their own lives. The five brothers obeyed Fang Guozhen.

On this day, they had breakfast and drove a sailboat between Wenzhou and Qingyuan (now Ningbo). They wanted to see the best fish that had been salvaged from the Dongyang a few days ago and transported them to Wenzhou and other places for a good price, so that they could bring a new garment for each of the five brothers, and the remaining silver would be saved. Seeing that the eldest brother was twenty, the second brother would be almost the age to get married in two years. They would save some extra money in case of emergency. It was precisely because Fang Guozhen sent the salvaged fish to Wenzhou, Ningbo and other places to sell.

The Fang brothers loaded hundreds of kilograms of fish onto the cargo ship and set off. The five brothers lived on the sea all year round. It was not a big deal to go to Wenzhou and other places from the sea. Therefore, there was no one on the boat except the five Fang brothers. The family broke down and shook the fishing boat out of the sea, and rushed towards Wenzhou.

On the afternoon of the day, the cargo ship left the Huangyan Sea and entered the sea. It was about to arrive at Wenzhou. Suddenly, the originally calm sea surface was surging, waves rolling, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. The sun was shining brightly. In a moment, the sun was completely covered by thick dark clouds. The high waves whistled from the depths of the sea. The rolled waves slapped the cargo ship one by one. With the impact, the ship was shaking unsteadily, like willow leaves floating in the wind, drifting with the wind.

The Fang brothers have been making a living at sea all year round, and there are many situations like today, so they are not very panic. It’s just that it’s endless. It’s probably half a month later to rush to Wenzhou and other places. By then, the fish had already died in the cabin. Is it impossible to sell it for a good price?

Seeing that the cargo ship was dragged like this, and the waves might sound, Fang Guozhen discussed with his brothers: "I don't know when the sea breeze will stop. Why not hide in the port first to avoid the limelight. How about we walk when the wind stops?"

Before Fang Guozhen's words could be done, Fang Guoxin, who was beside him, spit out a mouthful of sea water and shouted: "Third brother, you are too careful. What are you afraid of this little sea breeze? We have seen many sea breezes that are more powerful than this. In my opinion, it is better to keep moving forward?"

Fang Guozhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the sea surface, saying, "It will take several days for the sea breeze to stop today. We are all here, so we are not afraid of it. However, if we delay fishing for too long this time, and the fish dies, will we be busy in vain!"

"Well, the third brother said it right!" Fang Guozhang, who was standing beside him, agreed: "This wind is so strange. Brother, should I listen to the third brother?"

The Fang brothers were mainly Fang Guozhen, but after hearing what he said, they had to agree to land on the second day. The five brothers worked together to drive the cargo ship to a nearby port called Xiangshan Shipu to avoid the sea breeze.
