Hao Hao Qiantang River, rolling to the east.

When the river came to the mouth of the narrow and wide horn, it ran more cheerfully and directly into the wider and boundless East Sea.

The sea is so vast, there are how many undeveloped treasures are waiting to be explored.But all this was so dangerous for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the strict order of Taizu to set up a board to go to sea, the land and the sea have been almost isolated.Only those who are bold enough and strong enough to open up the joints of the government will think of earning the benefits of making people's eyes from the sea.

Although there have always been some restless people on the coast of Zhejiang in the past two years, they are really able to come and go in peace, so few.Because of the government's severe crackdown, but also because of the unpredictable danger at sea.

The danger of the sea is not only the fierce wind and waves that will be born when, but also those pirates who cross the sea and come and go without a trace.Once upon a time, there were many guys who wanted to fight for a pair of products to sell property and go to sea by boat.As a result, a dead man is lost and a dead body is lost.

So now the southeast coast, ordinary people have also opened up, know that this kind of maritime smuggling is not their own people can do, then honestly nest in their hometown, continue to live a poor and stable life, has rarely dared to go to sea.

But on the morning of the third day of November, a fishing boat floated on the sea that was dozens of miles off the coast of Zhejiang.In spite of all the dangers, some people choose to go to sea by boat in such a cold winter season, which is too contrary to common sense.

In fact, the ship has been at sea for almost three days, and it is not like other ships that want to smuggle it, and then determines the direction and goes to the Western countries.Instead, it is swimming around this area near the coast of Zhejiang, which seems to be looking for something.

If someone could come to the boat and look at it, it would feel even more strange.There were only five boatmen on board, plus one young man.And on the ship, there is no imagined silk, porcelain, etc. shipped to other countries' big Ming products, some are only slow-class food and fresh water.Obviously, the purpose of this ship going out to sea is not to go to Western countries to do business, but to have other maps.

A cold wind blew from the land, and the sea suddenly raised the waves, and the small fishing boat seemed so helpless in front of this natural majesty, and with this wave hit, it vacated high, and then patted it heavily on the sea, and the hulls nailed with the planks made of squeaking.

The man who had been guarding the bow of the ship felt this, and couldn't help but worry about the young man who had just looked up from the shipboard and left vomit in his mouth: "Two less, the wind and waves in this sea are getting bigger and bigger, if it goes on like this again, I am afraid that our ship will not last long."After all, this is not a ship that sails far away.”

This slightly awkward young man was the son of Xie Jinglong, who was asked for help everywhere by his father Xie Binglin's orders.On the same day, when he found that the Xie family would encounter great difficulties, he arranged to leave Hangzhou early, and soon after, he learned a series of frightening news-

The family was convicted, and the whole family was found clean.Moreover, those who had close relations with the Xie family in the past, whether it was Chang Zhao Su and other Hangzhou families, or the town guarded eunuchs, whether it was the size of the gate, they did not dare to say a good word for the family in this matter.So do it, obviously, is to watch the thank family end!

After some consideration, Xie Jinglong, who had received this bad news, finally decided not to go the way of the official government, but resolutely went out to sea.Because he knew that the government was no longer reliable, and that only the family's own people were the only ones who could save their uncle's father from the mouth of the court.

So, just three days ago, he secretly went out to sea by boat and drifted around for a long time, but the island he wanted to find was still missing.

Hearing the talk of the ship boss, his face became more sombre, but the decision in his heart was not shaken, and only saw Xie Jinglong wipe the scraps of the corners of his mouth fiercely, staring at each other: "Even if you die at sea, we will also find people!"

Staring at him with his gloomy and terrible eyes, the ship's boss's heart was pounding, and in desperation, he had to nod his head and continue to let people adjust their sails, and through this gust of wind, they were driving toward another sea that had not yet been sought.

Although the island knows its existence, the sea is vast and there is no decent chart, so everywhere there is really a kind of needle-hunting difficulty.

Half a day later, the sun was once again pulled to the west, and a dark red glow shone, and it seemed that soon it was sinking below sea level.This makes Xie Jinglong's heart more and more heavy, and his heart has actually felt a little dazed, and I don't know if he was right or wrong to go to sea.

But at this moment, his somewhat dazed eyes suddenly squinted, and then pointed to a black spot on the side and shouted, "What is that?"“Look, is that an island?”

The crew looked in the direction of his fingers, and then their faces showed a color of excitement, and the bitter search for these days was not in vain, and the island finally appeared before their eyes.

Without the need for Xie Jinglong to do any more orders, the boatmen had quickly adjusted the direction of the ship's navigation and went straight to the little black spot.Soon, the little black dots in their eyes became a small island with very irregular shapes.

@@@@@@@

This is a small island more than ten miles away, although it is not small, but in the vast ocean, it is so inconspicuous.Under the impact of the sea water countless times, the island is even more uneven, but in this way, it has created a natural recessed port for it, which is located on the other side of the landing site.

At this moment, in this port, there are still about a dozen ships of different sizes, new and old ships, the largest of which is seven or eight feet long, wide, more than three times larger than the small boat that Xie Jinglong is carrying.And at the top of the ship's main mast, at this time, a small triangular flag was flying high, and a sharp brush stroke painted an eagle flying with wings.

If there are smugglers who often travel at sea to see this flag, they will surely turn their heads away, because this is the mark of the sea eagles that have changed color in the East Sea in recent years.This is a group of treacherous and vicious people with hundreds of lives on their hands.

On the edge of the harbor, a thin man was looking ahead, and when he saw a small boat coming towards the island, his face showed an unusually excited look.After licking some of his own dry lips, he immediately turned back and shuted.

With this whistle, the head of the calm island suddenly moved, and the men who were hidden in the caves or in the makeshift grass huts ran out one by one, staring at the boat that was about to land with excitement or surprise.

In a moment, thirty or forty people came to the edge of the port, most of whom were ordinary Han Chinese dressed in some tattered, and more than a dozen of them were shorter and dressed in strange costumes, and they were the ones who made the coastal people hate the bones.

Are the people on the boat stupid?Do you not recognize the flag of the eagle of the sea, and directly hit it in?Or is there something wrong with their ship that must land?But even if they really need help to come, these pirates and genie will not let go of the fat sheep that come to the door.

When the boat stopped steadily at the port, several anxious men had flown in the past, and while running, the sword and other weapons had been lit in their hands, ready to kill.

Xie Jinglong took the boatman just wanted to go ashore, and he saw these murderous guys who rushed straight up, and suddenly his face changed.Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and he quickly hugged his fist: "Don't get me wrong, I am a member of the Hangzhou Xie family, and today I came to my elder brother Xie Jingyuan!"

Listening to him report to the door, the movement of these guys who jumped in front of him was slow, but the sword did not take it back, but said, "There is no thank for Jingyuan here!"

Xie Jinglong patted his head, only to remember what his big brother had said before, and quickly took out a slap of iron token from his sleeve and lost it: "I... I was looking for the Sea Eagle."

Listening to him say this, and seeing that although the material is ordinary, but the inscription of an eagle's token, these people's looks finally eased: "You come to the sea eagle?"You are his brother?”

“If you don’t believe me, take me to him!”Xie Jinglong nodded his head.

Just as the people hesitated, a slightly coarse voice came from behind: "Jinglong, how did you come here?"

Xie Jinglong heard the words, but his body trembled, and exclaimed in his mouth: “Big brother, how did you become like this?”In front of him was a tall, powerful young man.

If you only look at half of his face, it will make people feel that this is an extraordinary family child, but his other half of the face, but at this time left a foot half a foot long, from the eyes to the corners of the mouth was slanted over the huge scar, let people look at, feel the scalp tingling.

This person is Xie Jinglong's brother Xie Jingyuan, who took the risk of going to sea to find, and he is also the only child of Xie Bingxiao, the owner of the family.

Hearing the other side of this cry, Xie Jingyuan subconsciously touched the scar on his left cheek, and then faintly said: "Nothing, but lost when dealing with people."But the person who hurt me, now there is no longer any bones.I ask you, how did you get here?Does it look so uneasy?”As he spoke, his eyes flashed a glimmer of light, straight to the heart.
