Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 365
After coming out of the capital, except for the small disturbance on the first morning, Shuangxie's trip to the south this time was basically smooth, so here we will briefly explain...

After walking for about half a month, the group of them arrived in Hangzhou.

Since Sun and Huang stayed in the capital for a few more days after the "death incident", they received the emperor's order later, so the plaque of "Meritorious Service for Protecting the Country" came faster than them, when they arrived in Hangzhou , just in time for the Sun House to throw a big banquet to celebrate the great achievements of Sun Yixie, the glorious ancestor.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai made up their minds: If the two of them show their faces in public at this moment, they must be dragged to the mansion by Master Sun to celebrate together for ten or eight days before they can get away, that's not going to happen...

After all, the two of them now have the emperor's order, and there is a fifth stall head of the East Factory and a general banner of Jinyiwei guarding them in the name of escort. If they procrastinate here for a couple of weeks before leaving, it will cause a delay The matter of recovering the national treasure will definitely be reported as a small report.

Seeing that there may have been someone with character here, many decisions made by the emperor Zhu Zhu seem to be quite casual, but in fact they are full of sophistication.

On the surface, he trusted Sun and Huang very much, and even sent two masters to "serve" and "protect" them, but behind the scenes, he still gave Wei Qian and Zhao Yi instructions to supervise and report regularly, as a team kind of insurance.

One of Zhao and Wei stayed in Ningbo and the other stayed in Nagasaki. In fact, they left two intelligence contact points in these two places, and they could report the progress of this mission to the capital regularly.

In addition, because these two belong to Jinyiwei and Dongchang respectively, they will have a careful thought of monitoring and balancing each other.

Zhu Zhu even considered the level of "letting Jin Yiwei stay in the mainland" and "letting eunuchs who are not easily tempted to temporarily station overseas"... It can be said that the risk of being betrayed was avoided to the greatest extent.

Shuang Xie also knew very well that the emperor looked easy to talk, but in fact it was not simple, so the two of them did not dare to make mistakes.

When passing through Hangzhou, Sun Yixie just asked Huang Donglai to write a letter from home, and then quietly went to see Mr. Xue, and asked Mr. Xue to take the letter home for him.

As for this family letter, Sun Huang also wrote it in front of Wei Qian and Zhao Zongqi. In addition to reporting safety, he was vague about other situations, saying only that "there are still important things to do. Time to go home and celebrate", without mentioning the purpose of this trip at all, let alone going abroad.

Wei and Zhao also understood what Shuangxie meant for them to read the family letter, and they were very satisfied with Shuangxie's way of doing things without making it difficult for them.

In this way, the four of them only stayed for a short time, then quietly left Hangzhou and headed towards Ningbo.

Similar to the history we are familiar with, there were several long periods of "maritime embargo" in Dazhuo. During this period, only a few countries were able to conduct maritime trade with the Liao Dynasty in the form of "tributary", and Ningbo Port was at that time It is the only designated port of Dasao for trade with Japan.

It was just a short walk from Hangzhou to Ningbo, and it took a few more days to make preparations.

By mid-August, on the day of Bailu, under the joint preparations of Zhao Zongqi and the local Jinyiwei, Shuangxie finally got together the necessary application things, bid farewell to Zhao Zongqi with Wei Qian, and boarded a boat An ocean-going ship bound for Nagasaki.

This ship, of course, is not an official ship with the title of "Special Envoy of Daqian", it's just an ordinary merchant ship. After all, they are carrying out a "secret mission" this time, and Dongpu can't be aware that they are here to recover It's from Longbi.

Because of this, they also concealed their identities: when boarding the boat, Eunuch Wei pretended to be an old businessman, while Sun Huang pretended to be his two bodyguards and attendants.

There are a total of a hundred people on this ship, [-]% of the permanent crew, and the remaining [-]% are merchants or ferrymen gathered together before sailing. Most of the [-]% are Chinese, and there are also Japanese; obviously... Although the government has banned large-scale foreign trade activities, this kind of private business like smuggling still exists, and it is very profitable.

To put it bluntly, as long as you can handle the local government that supervises this area, whether your ship will go to China or overseas after leaving the port... People can turn a blind eye to it.

To make a long story short, the ship that Shuangxie and Eunuch Wei were on sailed for a few days, except for a short stop in Zhoushan for supplies, basically floating in the vast sea every day.

How long it took for an ocean-going ship to reach its destination in those days mainly depended on the wind, and there was no rush.

Of course, the bow of this ship was not in a hurry, because he never thought about reaching his destination... No, on the third day after leaving Zhoushan, the bow of the ship was with his fellow pirates. Meet at sea.

Attention everyone, I am talking about "pirates" here, not "Japanese pirates".

Because the leader of this group is not Japanese, but from the Central Plains, everyone knows him, and he was given the nickname "Kang Haijiao".

Yep, it's still alive.

When he met Shuangxie for the first time, Kang Haijiao was still a little thief entrenched in the "Dragon King's Cave", relying on pretending to be a ghost to fish the people in the nearby Chenjia Village.

The result of that encounter was: Kang Haijiao was attacked by Sun Yixie, who was new to the rivers and lakes, with lime powder and dragon dog boxing, and knocked him down into the underground river.

However, after some "survival in the wilderness", Kang Haijiao not only survived, but also had an adventure, learned a set of superior lightness skills called "Pan Tiandu", and then came out of the world.

And the second time, Kang Haijiao met Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng who were going to the Qixionghui in Dengzhou City. At that time, he had become Xiao Zhun's "mercenary" and was moving around to collect blood swords.

The result of that time was: Kang Haijiao's connector fell into Sun Yixie's divorce scheme, and led a group of people to hunt down and kill Kang Haijiao without any explanation, causing him to fall into the river with serious injuries and follow the waves into the sea.

However, as the saying goes, "A good man does not live long, but a disaster lasts for a thousand years"...Kang Haijiao did not die after falling into the sea.

He was picked up by a fishing boat at sea, and with almost no medical help, he survived again by relying on his tenacious vitality.

It's just...he survived, because he was afraid of Xiao Zhun, he never dared to return to the Central Plains.

After more than a year like this, today's Kang Haijiao "resurrected" on the sea and pulled up a pirate team composed of people from the Central Plains and Japanese. Based on a very small outlying island east of Zhoushan Mountain, it became a pirate team. One of the most notorious pirate leaders entrenched in this sea.

Today, the bow of this merchant ship, including part of the crew, has been bribed by Kang Haijiao. They deliberately drove the ship within the "hunting" range of Kang Haijiao, allowing the other party's pirate ship to approach.

According to the plan, after the pirates board the ship, kill all the unsuspecting crew members and passengers, and everyone can share the spoils together.

But... Today, it was fate too—Kang Haijiao met Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai again, and also brought along an old eunuch with extremely strong martial arts.

Then all the judges must have guessed that this time Kang Haijiao is really exhausted, and his life is not long...

…………

"Everyone has come up? Are you sure you haven't missed anything?"

After the pirates boarded the ship, only a moment later, all the passengers on the merchant ship were captured and gathered on the deck. At this time, Kang Haijiao asked the bow of the merchant ship without hesitation.

"Yes, Lord Jiao, it's all here." Chuantouer replied with a relaxed expression.

Now that things are up, there is no need for the captain of the ship to hide his collusion with Kang Haijiao anymore, and the dozen or so crew members who were bribed with him have also taken the initiative to stand with the pirates.

Seeing this scene, many of the passengers realized... This is a sign that they will all be silenced soon.

But now people serve as knives and I serve as fish, what else can they do?
In this vast sea, there is nowhere to escape. Isn’t it true that if people let you go on deck, you have to go on deck, and if they let you die, you have to die?

Only Shuangxie, who was in the crowd, was still whispering: "Damn it, it's this guy again, he's not dead yet..."

"I have to ask you this. When you were in Dengzhou, didn't you brag about your own strategy, saying that this person had been killed by you? Why is he not only alive but also a fourth emperor now?"

"My lord, he is the Fourth Emperor, I am the One Piece... No! The King of the Sea!"

Hearing that the two of them were poor, Eunuch Wei interjected, "Look at what this means... have you two known this pirate leader for a long time?"

"That's right." Sun Yixie pouted, "Anyway, among the 'Four Great Enemies', there is not much more of him, and one less of him is quite a lot."

"Hey~" Eunuch Wei raised his eyebrows, "Do you have four such enemies?"

"There are only four." Sun Yixie said, "The 'Four Great Enemies' is an organization, there is no exact number."

"Ah?" Eunuch Wei was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he really wanted to ask: Why would an organization with no accurate number of personnel add an accurate number to its name?
But before he could complain, Kang Haijiao who was opposite him interrupted their whispering.

Without him, he just recognized Shuangxie.

"Hey! Who is this?" When Kang Haijiao said this, his voice was loud.

After he finished speaking, he laughed, and walked a few steps forward while laughing, wanting to see himself more clearly, so as not to be mistaken for the wrong person.

"Ha! Hahahahaha..." After walking to a place only two or three meters away from the "captives" and confirming that the two people mixed in the crowd were indeed the Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai he knew, Kang Haijiao finally endured the pain. He couldn't help laughing wildly at the sky, and after a few laughs he shouted, "Heaven has eyes! Hahahaha..."

Maybe some people will be surprised, as far as Kang Haijiao is capable, it would be good if he didn't kneel down and beg for mercy immediately when he saw Sun Huang, why is he still laughing?
Then you might as well recall, is it a year since Kang Haijiao saw Sun Yixie for the last time?Is it almost two years since I saw Huang Donglai for the last time... His version is too far behind.

In addition, Kang Haijiao has been working as a pirate for the past year and has not set foot in the Central Plains for a long time, so he does not know anything about the big events such as the Qixionghui, Swords and Demons, Dragon Head Cup, Thirteen Deaths and so on; in Kang Haijiao's impression, Sun Yixie is still the third-rate bastard who only knows how to sprinkle lime powder and shady people a year ago. Although Huang Donglai is a bit stronger, he is still the "young master of the Huangmen who just came out of the rivers and lakes".

And what about Kang Haijiao himself?Not only is he possessed of natural supernatural power and superior lightness kung fu, but he is surrounded by nearly a hundred pirate subordinates with varying kung fu.

In such a comparison, the strength of the two sides is very different.

"Heh... I've been recognized, so what else is there to hide?" Kang Haijiao, who felt sure of winning, finished laughing, and said to Shuangxie in the crowd, "You two 'young heroes', come out to catch up on the old days?"

When speaking of the word "Young Hero", Kang Haijiao deliberately added the accent, the meaning of ridicule is very obvious.

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai jumped face when they saw each other, so there was nothing to say, just go out, but they didn't intend to pull on Eunuch Wei, they just moved forward and walked out of the crowd without saying a word.

Eunuch Wei also understood what they meant: since this pirate leader doesn't know our family, we'll just hang out with the crowd and wait and see for a while, and then take action when necessary.

On the other hand, when Sun and Huang walked out of the crowd, Kang Haijiao, who had calmed down a little, suddenly thought of something, which immediately changed his expression slightly.

So, when Sun Huang came to the front of the crowd and stood still, Kang Haijiao immediately asked tentatively: "What's the matter? That kid surnamed Lin... isn't with you today?"

Obviously, Kang Haijiao is still afraid of Lin Yuancheng, because even before he left the version, Lin Yuancheng's strength was enough to scare him.

"Don't worry, Xiao Lin is not on this boat." Sun Yixie replied weakly, "If you don't believe me, you can check again."

In fact, without Sun Yixie saying it, Kang Haijiao had already started to scan and search among the crowd.

It took him about 2 minutes to read it twice carefully, and he was relieved after confirming that Lin Yuancheng was really not in the crowd.

At this time, the smug expression returned to Kang Haijiao's face again, he snorted coldly, and continued: "Hmph... Even if he is here, I don't care, am I still afraid that he will fail?"

"Heh..." Huang Donglai couldn't help sneering, "Your stinky and shameless character is quite like Brother Sun."

"Mao!" Before Kang Haijiao could speak, Sun Yixie countered first, "I am such an upright person..."

As soon as this remark came out, Huang Donglai and Kang Haijiao yelled in unison at the same second: "Are you fucking upright?"

After speaking, both of them froze for a moment, and then looked at each other, leading to an awkward silence inexplicably.

"Hmm." A few seconds later, Kang Haijiao pretended to clear his throat, and brought the topic back to his own rhythm from Sun Huang's cross talk, "In short... since we met here today, we have to settle the score ..." At this point, some painful memories flashed through Kang Haijiao's mind, which made him gritted his teeth with a ferocious face, "Come on, 'Repay grievances, revenge'!"
