He was so panicked that he had no choice but to flee. This was the first time he had escaped in such a miserable way after going ashore many times since he became an adult.
That day was the first day that Guan Ziqi and his companions came ashore. They displayed some good things on the street. The people he sent out mixed in with them and saw it.
"What, do you want to rob them?" The pirate leader frowned.
The Gentiles had known this news since their first day.
But the other side had ten ships of that size, each with about forty people on board, and all of them were extremely strong.
You can tell at first glance that they are not easy to mess with.
He had already disguised himself as a fisherman and observed closely.
But he has more than 2,000 men under his command, so he is not afraid.
Originally, he planned to wait for those foreigners to complete the deal with Rajiv and Ajay before taking people to make a big move.
As a result, the action tonight gave him a big blow, which reduced his determination a little.
He didn't dare to involve all his people in it.
"Brother, those people are too powerful. We can't rob them by force. We can steal." The little leader smiled and offered an idea.
"Steal? How to steal?" The pirate leader was immediately perked up.
"Of course, we took advantage of the cover of darkness and sneaked up to steal.
Which of us is not very water-based?
After they have exchanged all their goods, we will board the ship and steal their gold and silver.
If we can get him ready, we only need to steal a few boxes of gold and silver from him, which will be enough for us to spend for a whole year.
I heard that this time Rajiv mortgaged all his property and even offered a portion of the goods as a substitute before he was able to swallow up the foreign goods.
We can't let go of such a good opportunity." The little leader tried his best to lobby.
The pirate leader was very interested after hearing his words.
"We only stole a small part, and I don't think those foreigners will pursue us relentlessly. Besides, it's not that easy for them to find us. There are seven or eight islands in the nearby waters, and it's impossible for them to find us. If they really find us, how can we be afraid of four hundred people on ten ships?"
The small boss continued to lobby.
"What you said makes sense. Let me think about it. We should give some comfort to our brothers who died tonight. We really should find a way to get this money." The pirate leader thought about it.
Thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
It was almost time for Shangguan Ziqi and his men to return to the inn.
Yu Yuzheng didn't go to bed all night, waiting for him to come back.
As a result, I waited until this late.
"How is it?" When Yu Zheng saw him come back, she immediately went forward to check if he was injured.
As a result, there was hardly any blood on his body, only a few small spots.
Then she checked on the three children.
"Mother, don't worry, we are all fine, those people are too weak.
He doesn't know any formal moves at all, he just relies on brute force. How can he be our opponent?
"My father killed more than a dozen people by himself. The three of us killed five. But we didn't kill them, we just made them powerless to resist." Shangguan Changyu said excitedly.
Yu Zheng looked at the three children back and forth and indeed saw that there was nothing wrong with them, except that there was a lot of blood on their bodies.
"Jing'er, are you scared?" Yu Yuzheng was most concerned about her daughter's condition.
"Don't be afraid. They are all bad guys and they deserve to be killed. I will kill them without mercy."
Yu Zheng was startled when she heard this.
Well, she, the mother, is the weakest child in the family.
"The children are doing well, don't worry." Shangguan Ziqi comforted.
"Take out your swords and wipe them carefully. Time will affect the gloss of the swords." Shangguan Ziqi was very satisfied with the performance of the three children. This was the first time they killed a real person.
He kept an eye on the children at first, and he stayed close to them when he was fighting the enemy.
Seeing that they all performed the moves in a very professional manner and did not suffer any loss, he felt relieved.
"Everyone go to bed and report to Emperor Qiming tomorrow." Yu Yuzheng put the worry that had been on his mind for two hours back into his stomach.
The next day, after learning about the battle last night, Emperor Qiming and the old prince praised the three children severely, making the three children like proud peacocks, and they were happy for the whole day.
The cargo on the ten ships has not yet been unloaded.
It will probably take another two or three days, and the goods Rajiv has prepared won’t arrive that quickly.
They planned to buy some things they would need on the ship for the return trip in the next two days.
Ajay arranged a guide who was very enthusiastic in guiding them.
The officers and soldiers on the large ship were unloading and loading cargo at the same time.
After six days, all the goods they needed were loaded onto the ship.
The goods that Rajiv prepared were also shipped in. They were mainly some products that were unique to many countries.
For example, some leather products are very good.
There are also their unique handicrafts, such as wood carvings.
Yu Zheng’s favorite is still their spices.
This is their biggest feature.
It will definitely sell well if I bring it back.
She also brought some spice seeds back with her to plant on the farm.
Then they come to buy gold, silver, various jewelry, jade and so on.
Yu Yuzheng also asked for some of their unique textiles, which were very beautiful, and she could take them back to have the craftsmen of Dawei imitate them to see if they could be made.
The goods brought out by the ten ships were worth about 200,000 taels of silver. After being sold here across the ocean, they were sold for 300,000 taels of silver in cash, plus various jewelry, jade, and other goods unique to many countries.
"Your Majesty, we really made a fortune this time." Yu Yuzheng finished the statistics and brought the account book to Emperor Qiming for review.
"Oh?" Emperor Qiming took the account book with a smile, flipped through it, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"That's right. More than 100% of the profits from the ship. When we return to Wei, we can sell everything on the ship and probably get another 100,000 taels of silver."
This was the first time that Emperor Qiming showed the happiness of a businessman when he made money.
"Mother, I think making money is only one of the gains. We have also learned a lot along the way. In the Wei Dynasty, no matter how knowledgeable a teacher is, he can't teach you what you have seen along the way." Shangguan Changyu expressed his opinion proudly.
"Chang Yu is right, money is secondary, gaining experience is the most important thing. Money can be spent and come back, but experience is something that money cannot buy." Yu Yuzheng praised her eldest son's words.
"We have been staying in Shenduoguo for nearly half a month. It is time to go back. The journey back is not smooth and it will probably take more time. By the time we arrive in the capital, it will probably be almost the New Year." Emperor Qiming missed his eldest grandson.
The old prince brought his three grandchildren with him, and he looked at them with envy every day.
Next time I go out to sea, I will definitely take my eldest grandson with me.
The eldest grandson of Prince Rong's Mansion should also get along well with the eldest grandson of the Emperor.
Otherwise, it won’t work if the feelings are not deep.
The food on board is enough to last for two months, so we should be able to reach Dawei.
Everything is ready and we plan to set sail back to Wei tomorrow.
That night, only two people were left on each ship to patrol, and everyone had a good sleep and prepared for the upcoming long voyage.
But on this night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, waves crashed against the side of the boat.
In the pitch-black night, several fishing boats quietly approached the ten large ships under the cover of darkness.
