At this time, huge merchant ships were like blades drifting with the current, slowly moving forward on the endless sea.

As early as ten days ago, merchant ships loaded with goods left the harbor one after another under the command, and under the guidance of the guide boat, headed for the first island country among the Southeast Asian countries - Daye Country.

The voyage was fairly smooth, during which the fleet passed a barren island. The people living on the island were the descendants of criminals who were exiled from an unknown dynasty.

The number of these islanders is not large. The total number of old and young is less than 3,000. They usually make a living by fishing or picking up seafood. From time to time, they also rob passing ships. This time, the Haicheng merchant ship accompanying them was robbed and almost ransacked by them.

Empty.

At first, the young and strong islanders wanted to rob the fleet, but found that the fleet had a powerful navy, which they could not defeat with two hundred men. They turned the ship around and tried to escape, but were stopped by the navy led by Jing Heng.

Take those who are good at observing the sea weather among them and put them on board.

The fleet has no shortage of experienced boatmen and guides to determine the direction, but they are completely clueless about the unpredictable weather at sea. They have no idea when there will be a storm and how to escape and escape.

However, Jing Heng did not have the two men who were escorted onto the ship for free, and gave their families ten pieces of cloth and one hundred catties of grain respectively.

These things are worth thousands of dollars to the islanders who have been naked and hungry for a long time. Few people can withstand such temptation, so they happily accepted the cloth and grain, which is regarded as selling the two people to

The fleet is here.

Jing Heng didn't want to treat the two of them like animals. When the fleet returned safely one day, they would definitely be released back home.

The two people who were escorted onto the ship saw the generosity of the fleet, and the unhappiness in their hearts gradually dissipated. Under the supervision of several guards, they walked around and looked around, and soon they were in front of Jing Heng.

One of them is named Shi Yan and the other is named Shui Lang. They are both about thirty years old and have never been able to marry a wife. This is the main reason why they were abandoned by their families.

Seeing the tall and graceful Jing Heng, the two people who had always been fearless unexpectedly restrained their arrogance and tried their best to pretend to be elegant. Only to hear Water Wolf ask: "You are here

The biggest boss?"

His ancestors were officials and were exiled to the island after committing serious crimes, so he spoke Mandarin with a thick accent.

Jingheng, who was originally facing the sea, turned around and his eyes fell on Water Wolf's rough face: "Is something wrong?"

Looking at his face that was even prettier than that of a girl, Water Wolf couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He could no longer pretend to be elegant and made a lewd heying sound: "You guys, you guys, must have brought a lot of women with you when you went to Nanyang."

?Give one to us brothers to play with."

Jing Heng's face darkened: "There is no woman, get down!"

Water Wolf could not believe it. He just thought he looked down on them and became unhappy: "We are all men, you are lying! Since we have let our brothers on the boat, we are all our own people, right? Don't you think of us?"

You see, don’t expect us to work for you!”

Shi Yan followed his horse's lead and immediately agreed: "That's right, if you want the horse to work hard, you have to feed the horse, right? How can you do things like this? Who are you looking down on!"

Jing Heng sneered: "On boarding this ship, your life and mine are connected. You don't have to serve if you don't want to. The ship will capsize and sink together!"

Water Wolf: "..."

It's all the fucking truth, there's no way to refute it.

Shi Yan's arrogance suddenly faded, and he said flatteringly: "Sir, we brothers are just joking. If you have a lot of money, don't argue with us two rough guys. But how can you not touch women when you are floating on the sea?

Seeing that we are of great use, you can share one."

Jing Heng closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, not bothering to talk nonsense to them: "You go and find her on your own, any woman you find will be yours."

After that, he turned around and ignored him.

Water Wolf and Shi Yan looked at each other, somewhat convinced that there really were no women in this fleet.

The guard who was monitoring them couldn't stand it anymore and said impatiently: "You don't believe me when I say there are no women. Now I let you find it yourself. What do you want to do with your time?"

Water Wolf relied on the fact that he was a useful person who was ordered by the leader of the fleet to be escorted aboard. He was not afraid of these little guys at all. He said angrily: "If there is no, there will be no. Sooner or later, we will go ashore. Once we get there, we will have it. You

Why are you so anxious!"

Guards: "..."

Who the hell is worried? Don't frame it up, okay?

Seeing that they were choked and speechless, the water wolf kept snarling, and was about to joke with them a few more words, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye, and was suddenly shocked: "Quick, quick, quick, adjust the sails, the storm is coming.

coming!"

Several guards looked at the blue sky, thinking he was joking to scare people, and laughed and cursed: "Come on, come on, we will let you go ashore when the fleet docks for supplies, so don't make any noise here."

Shi Yan's face turned pale and he cursed: "What's wrong with you, sir? The storm is really coming. If you don't adjust the sails and change the course, he will die!"

Jing Heng turned back suddenly and followed the gazes of the two men, but found nothing unusual. If he deviated from the course at this time, no one could guarantee whether there would be unknown dangers waiting ahead.

But there was no need for these two people to lie, and they were taken on board because of their ability. It was very likely that the storm was really coming.

Without further ado, Jing Heng didn’t have time to ask questions in detail, so he immediately ordered: “Adjust the sails and head northwest!”

The two ship's officers received the news and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "Sir, the judgment of these two people may not be correct. It is inappropriate to change the course easily."

Water Wolf, who was still observing the situation, heard this and cursed loudly: "Fart, I've been working for a living on the sea before I was ten years old, and I don't see or hear more than you, an old bastard? It's your business to seek death, I still want to

Go ashore alive and sleep with a woman!”

These vulgar words made the two lieutenants scold him. They did not want to talk to him, so they continued to persuade Jing Heng: "Sir, please wait and see."

Jing Heng said in a deep voice: "You and I have never experienced storms, so we don't know how powerful they are. If their predictions are correct, there may be a risk of shipwreck and loss of lives. Who can bear the consequences?"

The two deputy envoys looked at each other and dared not say anything.

Water Wolf's face looked much better: "Sir, this storm will arrive within an hour. It should be too late to change the course now, but if we delay it any longer, it will really be too late!"

Jing Heng took a deep look at him and ordered again: "Turn the rudder, adjust the sails, and head northwest!"

The confidant who was listening to the order took the order and hurriedly informed the boatmen.

Behind them, there were nineteen other large ships and a group of private merchant ships following closely. It was not easy to leave this area of ​​water within an hour.

"Quick, come and hold the handle and lower the soft sail!"

"What's going on with the second boat? Why hasn't it moved yet? Hurry up and stop blocking the boats behind!"

"Move, move, the merchant ships behind have also received instructions!"

"..."

After a period of commotion, the guide boat took the lead in adjusting its direction and heading northwest. The large ships behind it followed closely, changing their course one after another.

Although these ships didn't understand why Hao Duanrui had to turn around, Qingheng Heng had set rules for them as early as they went to sea. As long as they were on the ship, they must obey his instructions and no one was allowed to make arbitrary decisions.

In just a short moment, all the ships sailed northwest together, gradually escaping from this dangerous area that would be swept by the storm.

Shui Lang and Shi Yan did not dare to take it lightly. They stood on the bow of the ship and carefully observed the weather changes where the sea and the sky met, so that the ship could avoid it in time.

As Jing Heng said, everyone is in the same boat. Even if they don't think about other people's lives, they still have to save their own lives and never let the boat get caught in a storm.

Although storms can be big or small, something may not happen if they encounter them, but since they grew up on the island, they have encountered countless storms, and no matter how small the storm is, it is not something that a mortal body can withstand.

The predictions of the two were correct. About half an hour later, a thick layer of "fog" seemed to rise from the sea due to the south, spreading blackly on the sea, giving people a deep sense of oppression, as if

There is a giant monster hidden inside that will pounce out and bite people at any time.

Most of the people on the ship had never seen such a scene, and they all felt great fear deep in their hearts, wishing that the ship would go faster and escape far away.

Jing Heng asked Water Wolf calmly: "Do you think it can be avoided successfully?"

Water Wolf shook his head: "It's hard to say. If we continue forward, we can avoid it head-on, but we will be swept by the tail."

Jing Heng felt slightly reassured and looked at the coming storm with a heavy gaze: "Listen to my order and move forward as fast as possible!"

"Yes!" the guards shouted loudly and took action again.

It's just that no matter how fast the ship travels, it can't come as fast as the storm. As a devastating roar explodes in the "black fog", the clear sky above everyone's heads is gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and there is no trace of gloom.

The light was like the sky collapsing, extremely terrifying.

No one dared to face such a storm directly. Without Jing Heng's order, everyone on the ship retreated to the cabin, praying in their hearts that the storm would pass quickly and they could escape this disaster.

The terrifying thunder came closer and closer, and the relatively stable ship began to shake violently. People who had not experienced such battles also swayed back and forth, making their heads spin.

A series of "ouch" sounds and cries of pain resounded in the cabin, but someone was so dizzy that he failed to grab the armrest and was thrown out. His fragile head hit the hard bulkhead, and blood suddenly flowed out.

Fortunately, each ship is equipped with external wound medicine and cloth tape, and everyone helps each other bandage the wounds. Those who are seriously injured can only be carried aside first, and when they are out of danger, the accompanying doctors can be called to come and treat them.

Jing Heng encountered a storm for the first time, and he was not used to being in the cabin. His temples were so sore and swollen that it was difficult to open his eyes.
