Chapter 797: The Maritime Customs Fleet Was Attacked

June 1, the second year of Zhenguan.

Night.

The merchant ship Chen Mo was riding was transformed into warships and was very large. In the eyes of some small overseas countries, they were called giant ships, with a cap of more than ten feet, and were a veritable large ship with thousands of materials.

According to Chen Mo's previous life, the displacement is about 2,500 tons and it can transport more than 300 tons of cargo.

But on this turbulent sea, it is like a small boat, swaying unsteadily.

The lights on the boat were like a firefly in the dark night.

As the hull sailed, a long list of splashes and ripples were left on the sea. The shimmering sea surface reflected the outline of the ship, like a beautiful ink painting.

At night, the temperature dropped sharply and it was very cold. Except for the staff on the deck, they all retracted into the room.

On the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor, Chen Mo pulled Yue Ruyan and sat in his arms, whispering beside the beautiful woman's heroic and cold face: "Ruyan, it's getting late, let's take a rest."

As he said that, his hand holding Yue Ruyan's waist reached into the hem of his skirt, and stopped on the Nuanshuibao all the way.

"Please make a little effort."

Yue Ruyan didn't refuse, and she had no reason to refuse. It was all night. Besides, even if she refused, it was useless. After all, she and Chen Mo knew each other well. She turned her face and only told Chen Mo not to make too much noise. After all, there are still people living downstairs.

However, as soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by Chen Mo. His cold face instantly turned red, like the setting sun.

Both of them are old husbands and wives, so naturally they are not as troublesome as novices.

After warming up a little, I entered the competition.

Yue Ruyan also had a very tacit understanding. Chen Mo moved casually, and she knew what to do next and prepared in advance.

The game was very intense, no different from the turbulent sea.

Not long after, Yue Ruyan snorted, feeling that her delicate body was soft and could hardly hold it. The back of her neck also welcomed Chen Mo's greedy kiss. Her face turned bloody and her voice trembled even more. She said ashamedly. : "It makes you less disturbed."

"Don't worry, the sound of the waves and breezes is so loud that they can't hear them." Chen Mo narrowed his eyebrows, hugged Yue Ruyan without moving, and entered the intermission time.

Yue Ruyan also got some breath, took the veil beside her and wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead.

"Wipe me too."

Chen Mo played with Yue Ruyan's hair.

"How can I help you?"

Yue Ruyan was lying on the couch, with her back facing Chen Mo, and immediately said something unhappy.

But no matter how hard she was, she still had difficulty carrying her hands on her back, holding the veil she had just used, and wiping the sweat on Chen Mo's face.

"Ruyan is so virtuous." Chen Mo slapped on her face.

"Do you hate it or not, it's all saliva." Yue Ruyan pretended to be angry.

Chen Mo smiled. The midfield time was up and the game continued. He said, "Ruyan, I feel that your aura has become more and more powerful recently. You should be about to break through, right?"

Yue Ruyan said nothing at first, then sighed and said, "It's hard to say."

Yue Ruyan continued to talk about her situation.

If she compared her Dantian to a large kettle, her third-grade kettle was already full, which means that the spiritual energy needed to break through to the third-grade kettle had already met the standards.

However, she is different from Chen Mo. She has no worries, and it is not that she can break through as long as she meets the standards.

She is now at a bottleneck and needs an opportunity to break through.

If you can't find this opportunity, you may be trapped in this bottleneck all your life.

Ninety percent of warriors in Zhongzhou will encounter this situation.

This is also one of the reasons why I practiced for decades before you, but was caught up by later generations.

There are many opportunities, which may be an unintentional sentence from passers-by, a landscape. When you hear or see it, you will suddenly realize it and then break through.

Of course, there is another way to break through this bottleneck, which is to "great force can be broken".

If you can't break it, it means that your power is not great enough.

Let’s take a kettle as an example. If there is a huge amount of energy, it can not only fill the kettle, but also make the extra energy available, but also be enough to flush the plug of the kettle, so that it can also break through.

To put it further, Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng were at a bottleneck, especially Nangong Jin, who stagnated in the fourth-level realm for decades and accidentally obtained the immortal fruit. The huge energy of the immortal fruit directly blocked their "blocks". Breaking away.

We need to mention here that the energy used to hit the bottleneck requires a stream of energy, not a little bit of it. It accumulates over time and then uses it to hit the bottleneck. This is not possible.

Chen Mo understood Yue Ruyan's meaning, but the cheater couldn't "empathize" with her, so he couldn't give any advice, so he could only say some good things that were useless.

For example, don't be discouraged, you can do it.

Yue Ruyan was not too confused about this matter and said indifferently: "I just don't know if Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng stepped into the top-grade warrior, it is really related to the immortal fruit."

"I'll know when I see them."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and his voice became a little heavier.

The flush that had dissipated most of the time on Yue Ruyan's face climbed up again, and she knew that the game had begun to speed up.

She quickly pulled the bedding over and buried her entire face in the bedding.

At this moment, both of them had their ears standing up.

Yue Ruyan raised her head, felt it carefully, and then she looked panicked, patted her bed, and said, "Stop quickly, the boat stopped, someone is coming."

"Wait, the game is almost over." Chen Mo put his hand in front of Yue Ruyan and covered her mouth.

Yue Ruyan's face changed slightly when she heard this, but with Chen Mo covering her mouth, she could only whimper. Her body was so tense that Chen Mo couldn't help but take a breath.

Vacuum cleaner

"Your Majesty, General Nangong said that there was an accident on the sea ahead. Your Majesty, please go down and take a look."

The voice of the maid sounded outside the house.

Yue Ruyan quickly pursed her lips and didn't make any sound.

Chen Mo took his hand away, calmed down, and said, "I know, I'll go down right away."

After a while, a "pop" sounded, and Chen Mo pulled away. Looking at Yue Ruyan, who was lying on the bed and had reddened to her ears, he pulled the quilt over her and covered her, saying, "Ruyan, you go and rest first, I'll go and take a look."

Yue Ruyan did not respond.

Arriving on the first floor, Chen Mo saw rows of corpses covered with white cloth on the deck outside. Nangong Xian, who was directing the people below to do something, saw Chen Mo coming and hurried over, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he was about to bow.

Chen Mo waved his hand and said: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, come and see." Nangong Xian led Chen Mo to the bow. Under the light of the fire on the ship, he saw corpses and broken wooden boards floating on the sea below. It looked like a huge shipwreck had occurred, and the Fish Scale Guards were salvaging these corpses.

Suddenly, Chen Mo saw something and frowned and said: "Our people?"

Chen Mo saw a dark "Wei" character on a broken wooden board, which was the language of Zhongzhou.

Nangong Xian nodded and said, "Not only are they from our Great Wei, but they are also members of the fleet of the Maritime Customs."

As he spoke, Nangong Xian turned around and lifted a white cloth, revealing the corpse underneath. It was the official uniform of the Maritime Customs of the Great Wei. Not only that, there was a bloody hole on the chest of the corpse.

Chen Mo could tell at a glance that it was stabbed by a gun.

"Your Majesty, our fleet of the Maritime Customs was attacked by the enemy. Now it seems that there should be heavy losses." Nangong Xian said.

"Aren't there no pirates on this route? Who is so bold as to attack the official ships of our Great Wei?" A hint of anger flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. The attack on the official ships that were sailing alone would have salvaged no less than a hundred bodies. This was not just an ordinary murder case, it was a slap in the face of the Great Wei.

Nangong Xian smiled bitterly. He didn't know either. And judging from the situation at the scene, it was unknown where these bodies came from. This should not be the first crime scene.

"Come quickly, this person is still alive"

At this time, one of the Yulin Guards who was salvaging corpses at sea found that a "corpse" lying on a wooden board was still breathing, and immediately shouted to the people around to come and help.

Soon, this "living person" who was still breathing was salvaged by the Yulin Guards.

Without Chen Mo's instructions, Nangong Xian called the accompanying doctor to come and rescue.

This person must have been drowning for a long time. His skin was purple and his lips were black. You can see goose bumps on his body with the naked eye, and even his skin has swelled a little.

No mistakes in one sentence, one content, one content, one book, one bar!

"Your Majesty, this person is still the chancellor of the Dianke Office of the Honglu Temple." The doctor took out a waist badge from this person and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Xue Gu." Chen Mo turned over the other side of the waist badge, which was engraved with this person's name.

The Honglu Temple led the Dianke and the Simi Offices.

Among them, the Dianke Office is in charge of diplomatic relations and border tribal affairs.

There are two chancellors under it, who are the chief officers of the Dianke Office, from the sixth rank.

"No matter how much it costs, wake him up for me. I want to know what happened?" Chen Mo's face was gloomy.

Since the resumption of operation of the Shibosi, all the fleets that sailed have returned safely, and no one dared to provoke them.

After all, the fleets that sailed were equipped with navy escorts and armed to the teeth. Even the pirates in the Korean Ocean only caused the fleet to suffer some minor losses and a little property loss.

And the property loss here refers to the ship being attacked by the sea ghosts, which suffered some damage, but no casualties. They did not dare to confront it head-on, and finally could only retreat obediently.

But now, it seems that not only the ship is gone, the cargo is gone, but even the people are gone.

This matter must not be tolerated and must be thoroughly investigated.

"Yes."

The doctor also knew the seriousness of the matter, and the pressure came up all of a sudden.

While the doctor was treating Xue Gu, Chen Mo asked Nangong Xian where they were and what countries were around.

It was not something that a mere pirate could do to destroy a fleet.

It had to be a regular army of a country.

Nangong Xian ordered someone to bring the sea chart, and after a period of calculation, he said: "Your Majesty, we have passed the Horuo Strait. This place is not far from the trade route of Boliu. There are three countries around, namely..."

"You said this place is not far from the trade route of Boliu." Chen Mo interrupted Nangong Xian.

Nangong Xian was startled, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty suspects it is Boliu?"

Chen Mo did not answer directly, but asked about the military strength of the three surrounding countries?

"This" Nangong Xian was stunned, and quickly asked someone familiar to come up to answer.

He was the chief officer of the Fish Scale Guard, responsible for the affairs of the Cangzhou Maritime Customs, and he did not go out to sea often, so it was impossible for him to master everything.

Soon, a sturdy man with a dark complexion and rough and cracked skin came to Chen Mo excitedly and nervously.

Nangong Xian said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, just tell your majesty what you know."

The strong man could not speak Mandarin, but spoke a local dialect.

After listening to the whole thing, Chen Mo got the information that these three countries were very bad, and they couldn't even build a decent warship. Even their ships were not as good as the ordinary merchant ships of Wei.

The warships of Wei could easily smash their ships.

It can be seen that with the military strength of these three countries, they would never be able to cause such a devastating blow in front of them.

Chen Mo's face darkened.

...

The next day, the sky was bright.

Last night, Chen Mo's fleet did not leave the sea area because they were too busy, so they stopped here.

After dawn, they were stunned.

At night, relying on the little light on the ship, they could not see too far.

But now, everything around can be seen clearly.

More than 200 bodies were salvaged last night, but now there are still hundreds of bodies scattered on the sea, broken planks are everywhere, and there are floating goods on the sea, swirling.

The bodies are white and swollen.

The reason why they did not drift away is that the water flow here is swirling.

"What's the situation with Xue Gu now?"

Chen Mo said in a deep voice. Although his voice did not fluctuate much, everyone who heard this could sense that Chen Mo had a huge anger in his heart that was about to explode.

...

On the other side, the country of Boliu.

"Move it quickly, move it quickly, move it all up."

At the port, Zhang Feng smiled and felt very comfortable.

He hasn't been so happy for a long time.

"Huh? Where did you get so many goods?" At this time, Nangong Jin came over and looked at the boxes of goods shipped from the ship. He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng's next words almost pissed off Nangong Jin.

"Brother-in-law, we encountered the fleet of the Wei Dynasty on the sea a few days ago, and I was able to vent my anger for our Nangong family." Zhang Feng had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. He just felt good after venting his anger. He smiled and said, "These goods are all from the Wei Dynasty. I asked someone to roughly calculate them earlier. These goods alone are worth tens of millions of taels.

We have almost made up for all our previous losses now."

After saying that, Zhang Feng laughed loudly, waiting for the praise from his brother-in-law Nangong Jin.

However, there was no praise, and what awaited him was a loud slap in the face.

"Pa!"

"Stupid, you are in big trouble now!"
