Chapter 274
Li Jimin has never been so stressed as at this moment.
Jiang Han transferred two ships of machinery from Yiwai this time. Every part is extremely important and there must be no missing parts.
Li Jimin specially chose the best official ship and the best sailors to escort him.
The ship sailed in rough seas, and on the third day, it finally came to the most tense moment.
"Master Li, just ahead is the territory of the Whale Shark Gang."
The navy general on board pointed to an island in the distance.
"General Fang, is there any way to get around it?" Li Jimin asked.
"It's hard."
"Except for this water area, the vicinity of the Whale Shark Gang is extremely dangerous, and it is easy to capsize."
"Except for the pirate ships of the Whale Shark Gang, who are familiar with the waterways, there is no possibility for others to bypass them," General Fang said.
"On weekdays, how do you deal with each other?" Li Jimin asked.
"We have fought for this chokepoint, and we have set up island and reef fortresses nearby."
"It's a pity that these pirates are too cunning, and it ended in our failure."
"They generally don't dare to rob official ships. Passing merchant ships can sail if they pay taxes and money."
General Fang sighed helplessly.
"So we can only take chances?"
"Look at their mood?"
Li Jimin was speechless.
General Fang shrugged helplessly.
The reality is like this.
Pirates are like mangy dogs, jumping out and biting people from time to time.
If you want to beat him, he will flee to the island, and the official ship cannot land on the island, so there is nothing to do with them.
"Hey, let's try our luck."
Li Jimin was very helpless.
The boat is getting closer and closer to the waters of Whale Shark Island.
Just when Li Jimin was praying to the sky, he only heard a few cannons coming from the sea.
Dozens of pirate ships came out of the stormy sea.
The leader turned out to be You Wentong, the leader of the Whale Shark Gang who hadn't appeared at sea for a long time.
"The pirates are coming."
The sailors shouted in panic.
"The cannons are ready. Once they are within range, they will be bombarded." Li Jimin ordered.
"Yes!"
The sailors took command.
Boom!
The cannons equipped by the official ship fired at full force.
Soon several pirate ships sank to the bottom of the water.
However, the pirates were still hunting nearby and had no intention of retreating at all.
A fast boat, dexterously shuttled across the sea, quickly came to the front.
"It's Mr. Li Jimin above." A big bearded man shouted.
"I am, who are you?" Li Jimin asked loudly.
"I'm You Wentong." The man said loudly.
"It turned out to be Chief You, how dare you rob the official ship?" Li Jimin snapped.
"I don't want to make things difficult for adults, but someone gave me a death order."
"It is necessary to rob your lord's things. If lord Li is sensible, my people will get on the boat and take the things, and you will never touch your lord."
Juventus said loudly.
"Presumptuous, this is something hand-picked by the king, who dares to rob it?" Li Jimin said solemnly.
"So Master Li doesn't give me this face?" You Wentong was a little upset.
"If you want to hijack something, you have to step over my dead body." Li Jimin said.
"Very well, then don't blame You for being rude." You Wentong laughed and left quickly.
A fierce naval battle followed.
You Wentong had Murong Zhan's death order, so naturally he attacked by force.
They fought for three or four days in a row.
In the end, all the spar cannons on the official ship were exhausted.
Two of the official ships carrying cargo were also punched with big holes, and the water leaked seriously, and they might sink at any time.
"Master Li, when Jiangmeng came here, he explained that if he couldn't keep it, he could hand over the things to the thieves."
"My lord's safety comes first."
The entourage next to him tried to persuade him.
"Hey, Jiangmeng trusts me so much, I didn't expect that the first trip would be bad."
"Forget it, light up the white flag and let them grab it."
Li Jimin had no choice but to order.
General Fang raised the white flag.
Soon Juventus led the pirates onto the ship.
Grab the mining equipment.
But Yu Wentong didn't dare to kill.
He knew that Li Jimin was Zhu Jin's favorite.
Zhu Jin was Murong Xu's housekeeper, so if he wanted to kill him, it would undoubtedly be a challenge to the Dragon King.
He wouldn't do such a stupid thing, otherwise he wouldn't be alive today.
"Lord Li, I've offended you."
"You are really helpless, and I hope you will forgive me."
"go!"
Ju Wentong gave an order, and the pirates carried their equipment and left with the wave.
Back to the island.
Guo Tu was also unambiguous.
Immediately changed the ship, set off overnight, and shipped it to a secret port in the East China Sea.
It was stored in the warehouse, and Murong Zhan secretly transported it away after the wind passed.
Li Jimin returned to Wangcheng.
He didn't go to see Murong Xu, and came to Jiang Han's mansion immediately.
Entering the door is a tearful confession: "Jiangmeng, Li is incompetent, and his equipment is on Whale Shark Island, all of which were robbed by pirates."
"Master Li, why should he blame himself, this was already in my expectation." Jiang Han helped him up with a smile.
"Jiangmeng already knew?" Li Jimin was very surprised.
"Of course, robbery is robbery."
"By the way, you immediately follow me into the palace and report to the king." Jiang Han smiled.
"My lord, you, you don't seem to be worried at all. This is a piece of equipment that was shipped after a lot of hard work."
Inside the carriage, Li Jimin still blamed himself immensely.
"Don't worry, it's right that they give free shipping."
"It's a matter of minutes for me to find these things."
"Master Li doesn't understand technology, so I won't explain much." Jiang Han smiled.
"Hey, after Jiangmeng said that, Li felt relieved."
"Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Li Jimin said.
into the palace.
Li Jimin reported the truth to Murong Xu.
"My lord, it's a pity. It seems that some people deliberately don't want me to open mines. It seems that this cooperation is useless." Jiang Han sighed.
"No, as long as this thing is in the Eastern Territory, can it go to heaven and earth?"
"Come here, pass on Xu Jie from Jing'an Temple."
Murong Xu was very annoyed.
Of course he knew it well, the only one who dared to rob the official ship was the East King.
I just didn't expect him to be so courageous.
I have already told him clearly the pros and cons of this, and I dare to obstruct it.
A shrewd official with a Chinese face stepped forward to ask for orders.
"Xu Jie, Jiang Envoy's belongings are lost. It is reported that the pirates have already shipped them to the sea port."
"You immediately send someone to find out where the things are."
"If it comes out, report it as soon as possible."
Murong Xu ordered.
"Yes, the next officer takes orders."
Xu Jie took the order and left.
Jiang Han also quickly followed out of the palace.
"Master Xu." Jiang Han stopped him.
"Emissary Jiang." Xu Jie cupped his hands.
"How are you going to find it?" Jiang Han asked.
"do not know."
"Check each port. Your Majesty and you are very clear about what's going on here. I'm just going through the motions." Xu Jie was quite helpless.
"Adults understand people."
"If I know where it is, and my lord finds it, wouldn't it be a great achievement?" Jiang Han said with a smile.
"That's very good, please let Jiang Envoy know." Xu Jie was overjoyed.
