Chapter 166
The sea shrouded in the night is like a vast ocean of stars. The howling cold wind comes from everywhere, without any flickering. The boat floats on the undulating sea surface, like a meteorite wandering in the ocean of stars.
The reconnaissance officers rowed a small boat to find out the news, and brought back the news of horses stationing on the island ahead. "From their campfires, there should be a thousand inches." He said, "I saw seventeen or eighteen ships of all sizes on one side of the island, with black flags. The bows of the ships were all black flags. The largest ship was a battleship warship, with a black flag hanging on the mast, and white skeletons were painted on it."
"Is it yours?" Li Jing asked on the bow of the boat.
"More than a thousand, seventeen or eighteen ships, even the fighting ships were launched." Huang Beard grinned, "The black flag skeleton banner, the only side of the Liaohai East Sea, this is the banner of our town of Donghai. It seems that the brothers in the family brought all the brothers in the family."
"I didn't expect that the leaders would give me Li Jing so much." Li Jing smiled, "The second leader will lead me to see you." He glanced at both sides of himself, and could only accommodate more than 20 small boats that were more than 20 in. He was carrying the reconnaissance capital, as well as ten young men from the Xiao family, and one hundred servants from the Xiao family. A total of more than 20 in. After a long period of time, he took advantage of the black scattered and left Shamen Island one after another, quietly crossed the many islands of the Da Xie Fort, and finally arrived overseas in the Liaodong Peninsula after a night of 120 miles.
After the pirates attacked the monk, Li Jing sent a letter to the joint left by Zhendonghai in Dengzhou, asking him to hand it over to Zhendonghai, hoping that they could send it in to discuss the important matters. Li Jing originally wanted to call them over and use their hands to find out the one-eyed dragon's nest, and prepare to kill the roots.
Unexpectedly, his or her arms were robbed halfway.
Li Jing directly came to Gongsun Lan and asked the Meihua Sect's in and outs to help him find the lost weapons and help him find the behind-the-scenes entry. Gongsun Lan did not disappoint Li Jing. The Meihua Sect is worthy of being a professional intelligence dealer. They only took two o'clock to find Li Jing's batch of weapons. Those weapons were not kidnapped by Wang Jin, but were robbed by Feng Zhang on the territory of Dengzhou Navy, and deliberately left some clues to guide the pursuers to look at Wang Jin.
However, what Feng Zhang did not expect was that this time the plum blossom gate was to conduct information. Those tricks were of no use to them. They soon found traces of errors and finally found the real clues. Feng Zhang was very cunning. He pulled the ship near the Da Xie Fort, replaced the cargo on the ship with another ship, and then sank the original cargo ship at the bottom of the sea. Then he used another ship to transport the cargo directly to Duli Town, Liaodong, hid the cargo in a secret cargo warehouse of the Feng family, and prepared to sell this batch of good weapons to the Khitan.
After Li Jing got this conclusive information, the first thing he thought of was that he could find Zhendonghai to get in and out.
The power of Zhendonghai is just above the Liaohai, and their power is closer to Liaodong. Li Jing believes that Feng Zhangfei had robbed the goods with such great might and deliberately framed them to Wang Jin. He must have been secretly paying attention to Shamen Island's every move. If Li Jing leads his army to Liaodong, Feng Zhang will definitely know it immediately. Feng Zhang will definitely transfer the batch of weapons immediately.
If you work hard to travel to Liaodong, you will definitely not be able to find that batch of goods. And the more important thing is that if Li Jing leads his troops to leave Shamen Town, then Shamen Town will be empty and in danger. Even after Li Jing leaves Dengzhou, Feng Zhang may have dealt with him in Liaodong. In Dengzhou, they dare not deal with Li Jing openly. But once they leave Dengzhou and go to Liaodong, the situation will be different again.
The incoming sent by Zhendonghai to Dengzhou was Huang Huzi. As soon as Li Jing met him, he immediately asked Zhen Donghai to do him a favor, hoping to use their entry and horse to regain the batch of weapons. Huang Huzi agreed readily and immediately sent a follower back to the base to deliver a letter.
After some preparation, Li Jing finally decided to take only one hundred reconnaissance soldiers forward, and also took away the ten young masters of the Xiao family, and also took away one hundred subordinates of the Xiao family. Taking away these ten young masters of the Xiao family, Li Jing also prevented the Xiao family from taking advantage of his absence. Those young masters were very fragile and agreed without hesitation. This made Li Jing not know whether they were ignorant and fearless, or whether they really understood the situation very well.
As for the generals, Li Jing only brought the tenth generals of the right wing of the Battle Barracks and the capital of the Shamen Town, Wang Chong, and the reconnaissance chief Li Wei, and also brought two confidant generals, Zhang Chengzong, the left wing one general, and Liu Shouqian, the left wing two generals. In the Shamen Town, Li Jing handed over the full power to Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Zhang Hong.
Lin Wei and Wang Chong and others had objected to this, believing that Li Jing was the chief general of Shamen Town and should not take risks easily. It was feasible to send Lin Wu or Wang Chong to the task. However, Li Jing finally decided to come by himself, not because Li Jing did not trust Wang Chong and others. But this time, Li Jing did not just want to regain the batch of weapons, but he had plans to come and formally meet with Zhendonghai.
He and Huang Beard and Red Beard will meet each other, but the boss of Zhendonghai is white beard. If he wants to cooperate with Zhendonghai and others for a long time, he believes that it is necessary for both leaders to join the formal meeting for a while.
More than twenty small boats slowly rowed towards the island. As soon as they approached the shore, several speedboats immediately surrounded the two sides. The person who came here soon came was the second leader's yellow beard, and he immediately respectfully protected them to the shore and boarded 6.
This is an inaccessible desert island, with nothing but barren mountains and forests on the island. It is only less than fifty miles away from Duli Town, the front end of the Liaodong Peninsula, and you will not even have a docking supply entry. The pirates in the East China Sea chose a good place, and the ships were hidden in a small bay on one side. If the nearby ships did not get close to observe, they would not be able to see them at all.
Just in the forest just a hundred steps away on the shore, the pirates set up a simple woodland. The tents were hidden in the forest, and fortifications arranged with sharpened wooden stakes were set up on the periphery. Behind the pickets were archers and javelins, responsible for guarding. After the defense line, the camp stretched to the distance. The fully armed pirates sat under the tree to sharpen their weapons. The familiar flags fluttered in the wind, and the flagpole penetrated deeply into the muddy ground.
As soon as they approached the wooden stake, a team of horses had already come over to the temporary camp. The leader was wearing a silver-painted mountain iron armor, but a white bear-skin hat and a long silk cloak with silver on his shoulders. He tied a lion strap with the same silver lion strap on his waist and a horizontal knife with a shark-skin sheath. On his left hand, he was also holding a white round shield depicting a black skull.
His whole body was covered in silver, coupled with his silver head, long brows, and silver beard, Li Jing immediately realized that this entry should be the white beard of the master of Zhendonghai.
Although the white beard has white eyebrows and white beards, it has a rosy face and a strong figure, and there is no sign of old age at all. Li Jing couldn't guess his age for a while, and it was probably possible that he was in the fifties to seventy.
The white beard strode forward and laughed: "You are indeed back. Why are you here? We are all waiting for you here." After saying that, his eyes looked at Li Jing and waited in, "You are probably our friends in Dengzhou."
There were a few people beside the White Beard, one of which was a big man with black charcoal, with a black cheekbrow and tendrils on his face, while the other was a mature red beard. The Red Beard smiled and stepped forward and said, "Brother, the one in front is our old friend Li Jing and Li Jiyu, who is called Yongsanlang and Li Guang. If he hadn't made any advice at the beginning, we wouldn't have rescued the second child from Dengzhou so easily."
Li Jing smiled and went forward to greet the crowd, "The Third Head was joking. If it weren't for the Third Head's mercy, how could I have been the King of Li Jing. Jin Ri took the liberty to ask you to come and do the next favor. It's really a blessing for you."
"That's because brothers don't know each other without fighting. We are already brothers. Why don't you and me be so polite? Let's go back to the camp, we were roasting fat sheep and preparing fine wine. You are so lucky." With the order of the Whitebeard, a pirate immediately stepped forward to move the lead stakes and left a way to let Li Jing and others pass.
The pirates' camp was sparsely stuck in the forest. According to Whitebeard, after receiving the letter from Yellowbeard, he immediately ordered the horse and came all over the place. Except for the old, weak, injured and disabled, they came all at home, with a total of eighteen ships and one thousand eight hundred brothers.
There were 1,800 pirates, ordinary little pirates set up some wooden sheds to camp. Some small leaders set up tents, and as for the leaders like Whitebeard, they all set up tall and wide wooden houses.
Li Jing and Wang Chong and others entered the camp with one hundred scouts and one hundred Xiao family members. The scouts were all among the sharps. They deliberately lined up in two square formations when they marched. The neat movements, brand new and unified clothing and weapons made the pirates along the way surprised and envious. Even the hundred guards of the Xiao family were no worse than the scouts. This time, the best people picked out from the six hundred incomings. Following the scouts, the queue was actually quite good.
The Red Beard and Black Beard had a hint of surprise in their eyes, especially Red Beard. When he met Li Jing a few years ago, Li Jing had only one young man in, and was extremely embarrassed when facing him. But in a blink of an eye, he had already had his own territory and a soldier of his own. He had heard that the thief of Duli Town, one-eyed dragon, led nearly half of the pirates to attack Shamen Town, but in the end, they were defeated by Li Jing alone and were not allowed to go, they couldn't believe it at all.
