When Feng Jie shouted, everyone stood up and looked.
There were indeed three small boats in the distance, sailing towards this side, but if you didn't pay close attention you wouldn't be able to see them.
Emperor Jing stood up and walked to the bow of the ship, asking for a telescope to look into the distance.
He then casually handed the telescope to the official beside him and asked, "Is this also our Dajing merchant ship?"
The officials who accompanied the emperor at the port all picked up their binoculars to look.
After carefully examining it for a while, he confirmed, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a merchant ship of our Dajing. If I am not mistaken, the flag of the ship should be a merchant ship of the Song family of the Maritime Merchants Guild."
"It's just that the ship seems to have been through some kind of battle. There are many damaged and repaired places. It may have encountered pirates."
"In recent years, many families in the south have bought ships to go out to sea, and the Song family has always been the leader among them. They take some special products from the south to the west for sale, and some materials and special products from the west are brought back to the capital for sale. In the meantime, they will maintain the ships at Jiangling Port. Calculating the date, it is the time for them to return home."
Emperor Jing nodded and leaned on the railing to enjoy the sea breeze.
Opposite, on the main ship.
Li Ping also held a telescope, staring at the huge ship in the distance.
Starting from Sangak, they detoured to the waters near Feka and intercepted and seized the Dajing civilian merchant ship, which naturally took some twists and turns in the process.
The Song family's ship of the Maritime Merchants Guild had been partially damaged by their ship, but fortunately the damage was not serious and it could still be used after some repairs.
We have been sailing at sea for several months now.
According to the distance, we should be able to reach Jiangling Port in Dajing today, but we didn't expect to encounter such a ship on the road.
It looks huge, but the key point is that there is only one ship.
Normally official ships or merchant ships travel in groups, and only pirates fight alone. However, this ship does not look like one that pirates would have.
As the distance got closer, all the hairs on Li Ping's arms suddenly stood up.
The ship on the opposite side looked strange, with no sails and smoke coming out of it!
A figure seemed to appear on the bow of the ship... wearing a yellow robe.
Although it was just a small dot, he saw it clearly enough!
Yellow robe, definitely a yellow robe!
The bright yellow color is so eye-catching that it is almost impossible to mistake it.
Beside him, there was also a personal guard observing with a telescope.
The guard put down the telescope, looked at Li Ping seriously, and said doubtfully: "Your Highness, that... seems to be the emperor?"
Li Ping said, without lowering his hand, "Send a message immediately, and ask the other two ships to stay away from us and spread out as much as possible, but don't make too big a move so as not to be discovered by the other side."
"The only people who can wear clothes of this color are the emperor and the prince... Come closer, you can see it clearly."
"Yes!" the guard agreed and quickly went to make arrangements.
The main ship waved flags, and the ships on the left and right began to deviate to the left and right at a slight angle.
The distance was getting closer and closer. Veins popped out on Li Ping's hand holding the telescope. He stared at the opposite side intently, trying to see the pattern on the man's clothes clearly.
Suddenly!
Li Ping put down the telescope, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenched with resentment, and he spoke word by word: "Fang, Zheng, Yi?"
But at this moment, the guard returned and reported: "Your Highness, the adjustments have been completed."
Li Ping was still in a trance.
The facial features of the person he had just seen were a little blurry, but the face that brought him infinite terror and pain appeared repeatedly in his dreams.
It can be said that the impression left on him was even deeper than that left by his father!
The blurred face has appeared in my vision, and a strong murderous intent surges in my heart.
Seeing that he was in a daze and didn't say anything, the guard quickly picked up the telescope and continued looking.
This sight was so shocking that he was also stunned.
He twisted his neck stiffly and stuttered in shock: "Your Highness... that... that is the emperor. There are many officials around him! I am not mistaken, the yellow robe and the age can only be the emperor! We have met the emperor, Your Highness, what should we do!
It was Fang Zhengyi, and the emperor and all the officials... Li Ping confirmed it again.
"Founder One, Founder One, Founder One!"
"Kill, kill them!" Li Ping said with a ferocious look and ecstasy at the same time, "This is a God-given opportunity, we must not miss it."
I never expected to have such an opportunity today.
The emperor, his officials, and his undying enemies all gathered together.
As long as we can wipe them out today, wouldn't it be possible to avenge our deep hatred and...
Thinking that he could also inherit the throne, Li Ping's heart began to beat faster.
The guard swallowed and said, "Your Highness, this is a bit too risky. This ship looks extremely strange. Let's follow His Majesty's instructions..."
"Shut up! The most important order your father gave you was to obey me in everything. Now that a great opportunity is in front of you, how can you miss it?" Li Ping licked his lips. "Call everyone on the ship to see me in the cabin immediately."
A moment later, the cabin was full of people.
All of these people were dressed as merchants, and their clothes were taken from the merchants on the merchant ships.
As for those merchants, it was no surprise that they were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Li Ping faced everyone and said loudly: "Everyone! The emperor and his officials of Dajing are right in front of us. According to the original plan, we should go to Dajing to inquire about the national situation, but the opportunity to annihilate the Dajing court in one fell swoop is right in front of us, we must not give up!"
"This is a sign from heaven. If this battle is successful, all of you present here will be remembered in history! Your achievements today will also benefit future generations. You will be the greatest contributors to the new Dajing!"
Li Ping excitedly inspired people.
In fact, those who could come on the ship with him today could be regarded as the most elite warriors under the King of Wu.
Although they are called death warriors, that is what outsiders call them. After all, they are not brainless robots. They are just extremely loyal, and their weak points such as family members are controlled by their masters.
Therefore, we must continue to encourage when necessary and mobilize when necessary.
After Li Ping finished speaking, some people couldn't help but be moved, but a few people still raised questions.
"Your Highness, if the enemy is the emperor, are we sure we can capture him? His Majesty sent us out to sea, but as merchants, we don't have many people, and the enemy must be heavily guarded."
Li Ping said in a deep voice: "Yes, although I don't know the specific situation of the other side, there is a certain disparity in strength between us, so we can only outsmart them if we can't attack with force."
"Everyone, hide your short weapons in your boots first. When the two ships approach, some people will stay in the cabin and sink this ship! The other side will definitely come to rescue us. When we see the emperor, we will try to get close to him. As long as we can hold him hostage, the people on the other two ships will take the opportunity to board the ship and control the situation. Then we can accomplish great things!"
"This matter is extremely dangerous, but I swear that I will be the first to bear the brunt of it! I will share the risk with you all! Does anyone have any questions?"
"I am willing to live and die with His Highness!!!"
Inside the cabin, dozens of voices shouted in unison.
......
(I'm late, sorry everyone, I've been working on it until now, revising it. I'll try to post it early tomorrow...)
