FULL NOVELXO Chapter 206 - Wipe the Treasury
After the clean-up, Lu Zheng's men had been cut by nearly half, which made him look cold all day, and no one but Zuo Shaoqing and Zuo Xiaolang dared to come within three steps of him.
Fortunately, they had also gained a lot. Not only had they eliminated the largest group of pirates at sea, the goods that had previously been robbed had also become their spoils of war. The few survivors of Wang Family didn't dare to complain at all.
Although two of the five ships had sunk, the pirates still had two intact boats. However, after Zuo Shaoqing finished counting the supplies, he found out that they didn't have enough food left to support their return journey.
Luckily, they were at sea, so they took the materials nearby. The fish that were the most common in the sea, however, Lu Zheng didn't immediately give the order to return. Instead, he had his captives ask them about their home.
Zuo Shaoqing's eyes lit up. That's right, how could he have forgotten about this? Compared to the two new merchant ships that the pirates had just intercepted, there were definitely more good items in his lair.
It was easy to get the outlaws to open their mouths, but when they got their answer, they found that there was no sign on the chart they were talking about, and they couldn't explain why either.
Lu Zheng personally “greeted” the pirate leader that night. Only then did he leave the place where he was holding the prisoners in satisfaction, and called a doctor to treat his injuries.
It was said that the unlucky doctor had had nightmares after that. He didn't even dare to raise his head when he saw Lu Zheng.
Zuo Shaoqing studied the nautical chart that Lu Zheng asked for and finally found out that the pirates' lair had to pass through a reef.
“Is this a real sea map? Could it be that someone was intentionally lying to us? ” Zuo Shaoqing expressed doubts about this.
“No way!” Lu Zheng was full of confidence, “Let the pirates who caught us go first. We can also turn back in time if anything happens to them.”
Zuo Shaoqing nodded in agreement. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with using pirates as cannon fodder. freewebno vel.co m
“Do you know how much combat strength they have in their base? “But let's not just beat the pirates with our efforts and send the sheep into the jaws of the tiger.
“Are you looking down on me, your husband?” Lu Zheng hugged him and kissed him, “Since they came for me, how can they not give it their all?”
“That's true.” No one would conserve their strength against such a powerful enemy.
During the night, Sun drove Zuo Xiaolang to a room with Liang Qi. Sun carried Zuo Shaoqing in his arms, causing the clouds to turn over and the rain to turn over. He was in a very happy mood.
“Ugh …” “Enough …”
“This is just the beginning …”
“Stop it …” “I still have something to ask you …”
“Tell me …” I'm listening! ” Lu Zheng bit Zuo Shaoqing's chin and fiercely hit his lower body.
“You … “What do you mean?” Zuo Shaoqing groaned. He wrapped his arms around Lu Zheng's neck and kissed his lips.
The huge sense of speed quickly overwhelmed him, and he was temporarily unable to recall the questions he had wanted to ask before.
Lu Zheng was very satisfied with this. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as the relationship between his husband and her. contemporary romance
Lu Zheng held a small purple clay teapot in his hand and fed saliva to Zuo Shaoqing from time to time. Zuo Shaoqing then asked, “How did you meet pirates?”
Lu Zheng didn't hide anything, and told them about the floating corpses they saw in the sea in detail.
Zuo Shaoqing listened quietly until Lu Zheng said it was an elaborate trap. Then he jumped up and asked, “You… You mean somebody was working with the pirates to deal with you? “
Lu Zheng nodded, then pulled him under the blanket and tucked him in, “Don't be agitated, I was careless this time. But the result was still pretty good, right?”
“What if I don't come? What if I don't find you? In case … What if I'm late? ” Zuo Shaoqing couldn't stand it anymore just thinking about it. He gritted his teeth and asked: “Who? Who leaked the information? “
“Within the Crane City, who would have the guts and strength to do so?”
“Lin … Zhi … Hao!” Zuo Shaoqing replied fiercely.
Lu Zheng touched the corner of his eye that was wet, leaned over and kissed it, “I originally planned to temporarily get rid of him and settle the score after we return to the capital. I didn't expect him to be so much bolder than I thought.”
“Humph!” “It's more than being bold, it's being extremely daring!” Zuo Shaoqing could imagine how much of a sensation this would cause if word of this were to spread to the imperial government.
“By the way, I haven't told you yet. I received an anonymous letter before we left.” Zuo Shaoqing told Lu Zheng about this matter and told the man whom he had guessed at.
“I didn't know it was Lin Zhihao's plan before, so I didn't expect it to be him. Judging from our meeting that day, that letter should have been given to me by him.”
“He Min?” Lu Zheng lowered his head to ponder for a while and quickly understood the other party's intentions.
“He is really smart, this move is great, if something were to happen to you, then the emperor's anger will be thoroughly investigated, then he can send me a message and leave Lin Zhihao's circle. If you can escape from this, and you don't know it's Lin Zhihao's scheme, then he can grasp onto this matter and approach us in the future.”
“Hmph, a letter without an autograph and without a handwriting, what right does he have to say that it's his?” Lu Zheng didn't intend to accept Min Min's kindness.
Zuo Shaoqing was the opposite of him. He wholeheartedly thanked He Min for the letter. Regardless of the reason He Min had told him, he still had to thank him.
Compared to Lu Zheng's life, his little scheme was not even worth mentioning.
In the room next door, Liang Qi and Zuo Xiaolang stared at each other, speechless and choked, “Your two heartless dads abandoned you just for their own selfish reasons, and even made such a big scene to let a bachelor live?”
Zuo Xiaolang didn't really understand him, but he knew that he was talking bad about his two fathers, so he bared his teeth and threatened him.
“You heartless little thing!” Liang Qi jumped onto the bed with one leg and decided to ignore this little brat who would repay kindness with enmity.
Zuo Xiaolang's hearing was not as good as Liang Qi's, so he couldn't hear what was happening next door. He stood on the spot for a while, making sure that he wouldn't be able to return tonight. Then he climbed onto Liang Qi's bed and closed his eyes.
After sailing on the boat for two days, Lu Zheng and the others finally reached the pirate's lair. It was a huge island with lush vegetation, half of it was high mountains and the other half was flat grasslands. The weather was humid.
Not all the pirates on the island had no fighting strength; the leader had left almost a hundred men to guard the island and to prevent the slaves from escaping.
These people were scattered all over the island. When they got on the island, some of them were ambushed, while the rest of them had their bags packed and were ready to run away.
Lu Zheng didn't go out to chase them. However, when those people went out to sea, they ordered someone to use the weapons on the island to sink that ship. As for the people on the ship, it didn't matter whether they lived or died.
After dealing with these dangerous factors, Lu Zheng split up between half of them to rescue the slaves on the island and led the other half to climb up a mountain on the island.
Zuo Shaoqing noticed that the people brought over by Lu Zheng were all his trusted aides. It was obvious that Lu Zheng did not intend to hand over all the loot he had plundered to the national treasury.
“This really is a good place to hide treasures!” Zuo Shaoqing stood outside a mountain gate and looked at the gate that was almost one with the mountain wall. If it wasn't for Lu Zheng asking about this place, they would never have found it.
Lu Zheng left four people to guard the door and then led his men into the belly of the mountain. Although the pirate leader didn't say, but there were still traps hidden in this place.
Sure enough, after going through the archery formation, the poison smoke formation, the eight trigram formation, and the complicated maze formation, they finally arrived in front of a huge treasure trove.
Even though Zuo Shaoqing had seen the storeroom of the Wu Steel Manor, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him. There were all kinds of valuables piled up in the cave and several beams of light shot down from the top, shining on the gold and silver jade artifacts.
“It's a good thing we came. Otherwise, who would have thought that these treasures would be taken advantage of?” Zuo Shaoqing smiled and walked forward while licking his lips.
There were gold, silver, and treasure that all the pirates had stolen from all over the world. Zuo Shaoqing had never seen a lot of things, and sure enough, they were the most profitable ones in this world.
Lu Zheng had people carry out boxes of valuables. Half of them were carried onto his largest battleship, while the other half were carried out in full view.
