Peerless Pirates

After listening to Song Zheng's words, Old Man Zheng fell silent, and then sighed: "They still discovered it." Song Zheng asked doubtfully: "What did they discover?"

Old Man Zheng did not answer Song Zheng's words, but asked: "Little guy, let me ask, what day is today?"

Song Zheng said: "Today is August 11th, and in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Old Man Zheng asked again: "Have the little guy ever read a book? Do you know the history of the Qi Dynasty? Can you tell me about it?"

Why does an old country man care about history? His intuition told him that this old man Zheng might not be simple. Song Zheng did not dare to ask more questions, but said: "I have been reading history books for a while, and I still know a little about the history of Daqi. Dajin

After destroying the Liao Dynasty, he sent his troops south again, and the Taizu of the Great Qi Dynasty started an uprising in Daming Mansion..." Old Man Zheng waved his hand to interrupt Song Zheng and said, "Since you know history, you should know about King Lu, so you should start with King Lu.

Let’s start talking after defeat.”

Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, then continued: "After destroying Queen Lu, Taizong of this dynasty prepared to attack Bashu. However, due to the difficulty of the road to Shu, Taizong fought hard for two years. Just when he was about to invade the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu, the Xixia army that occupied Guanzhong suddenly advanced.

The Central Plains corresponds to the Shu region. Taizong failed in trying to conquer the rivers, so he had to stabilize the northern border first. Taizong pushed the Xixia army approaching Xijing (now Luoyang) back to Tongguan. Then, the Jin Dynasty, which had ended the civil strife, returned to Bianliang, the former capital of Tokyo.

(today's Kaifeng) invaded the south, Taizong led his army and after several years of hard fighting, he drove them back to the north of the Yellow River and stabilized the northern border. Later, Taizong made several attempts to visit Sichuan, but failed due to the interference of the Xixia army. Years of battles, people's livelihood

Withered, our Qi Dynasty was unable to restore the territory of the previous Song Dynasty. All the north of the Yellow River was returned to the Jin Kingdom, while Xixia occupied the Qinfeng Road of the previous dynasty including Guanzhong. The king of Shu, Lang Yucheng, clung to Sichuan and proclaimed himself emperor during the reign of Emperor Taizong.

.The Duan family of Dali in the southwest had already proclaimed themselves a vassal during the reign of Emperor Taizong."

After Song Zheng succinctly explained this period of history, Old Man Zheng said: "Dongfeng did not go along with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locked up Er Qiao. Alas!" He let out a long sigh, with a look of loneliness on his face.

Hey! This old man is still a cultural person. He even knows Du Mu's "Red Cliff" and actually laments the rise and fall of history. Song Zheng feels more and more mysterious about Old Man Zheng.

After a while, Old Man Zheng said: "Little guy, go back and don't worry about me." Song Zheng said hurriedly: "Grandpa Zheng, how can that be done? How can I leave you here alone? I'm still holding on.

You go back, and if you want to come back tomorrow, I will help you climb the mountain."

Old Man Zheng looked at Song Zheng: "Why are you so nice to me?"

Song Zheng thought to himself: Only a devil is willing to take care of you. If it weren't for you, I would have gone to Maling Lake to play. However, what the famous good boy Song Xiaogong said was: "Grandpa Zheng, I will think of you when I see you."

My grandpa, he is also a little in poor health." This is not entirely a lie, Mr. Song is indeed a little out of his mind this morning.

"Then you pity me?" Old Man Zheng said again.

"I..." Song Zheng was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart: You, an old man, are too disrespectful. I really pity you. However, Song Zheng couldn't say the word "poor". If he said these two words,

, it seems to hurt Old Man Zheng’s self-esteem. In fact, Old Man Zheng has no self-esteem at all with his appearance.

When Old Man Zheng saw Song Zheng's face turned red, he couldn't help but smile, showing his only two remaining teeth: "Don't be upset, little guy, I know you mean well. Come, tell me about the situation in our village. I have been

I'm a little confused and don't know anything."

Song Zheng was a little curious about this sloppy old man, so he put aside what he had just done and told some of the situation in Songjiazhuang.

After hearing this, Old Man Zheng thought for a while and said, "You little guy has a good heart. Let's do this. You do something for me. If it's done, I'll give you a great opportunity."

Great opportunity? Could it be related to those people at the foot of the mountain just now? Song Zheng asked doubtfully: "What can I, a child, accomplish?"

Old Man Zheng smiled and said: "If you still climb the mountain before six o'clock tomorrow, those people will definitely come again. Watch what they are doing on the mountain, and then tell me. We will go back now."

Song Zheng thought to himself, what's the big deal? Just climb a mountain, just in time for exercise. So Song Zheng nodded.

Old Man Zheng said, "Good boy, let's go." After saying that, Old Man Zheng struggled to get up. Song Zheng quickly supported him and slowly walked down the mountain back to the village. Nearly an hour later, the two of them moved to the foot of the mountain, and Old Man Zheng said:

"The road ahead is flat. I can walk on my own. Little one, please go back first." Song Zheng nodded and walked back with concern.

When she first entered the village, Xiaoping walked towards her anxiously. When she saw Song Zheng, she said, "Young Master, where have you been? It's time to have lunch. My mistress asked me to come look for you." Song Zheng nodded and talked to Xiao Ping.

Ping returns home.

During lunch, Song Zheng asked Mr. Song about Mr. Zheng. Mr. Song said: "Old Mr. Zheng was originally from our village. His parents died early. When he was young, he went out to work for many years. When he came back, he was numb. Who are you?

He didn't speak a word. Later, as he got older, he became more and more weird, and his brain became more and more difficult to use. He could no longer cultivate fields and ran to the Western Mountains every day. This person is too weird. If Zheng'er encounters him in the future, Mo

Pay attention to him."

Song Zheng nodded and ate peacefully.

Shishan Town, Yuelai Inn.

The young man in white and the old man in black were sitting across from each other in a room. The young man in white said, "Mr. Lu, are all the people ready?"

The old man in black, known as Mr. Lu, said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, the manpower has been arranged, the ship from Rizhao Town is also ready, and the truck from Yizhou (today's Linyi, Shandong) will arrive on time tomorrow morning.

When we get to Maling Lake, we will go there early in the morning. After unloading the things, the genuine goods will be shipped on the ship, while the fake goods will go along the coast, along Haizhou and Lianshui."

The second young master nodded and said: "Mr. Lu, early tomorrow morning, put your hands ten miles north and south of the treasure hunt site. Every mountain road on the West Mountain will be sealed. Let them change into government uniforms. If there are villagers coming from the west to the east of Shandong,

When we went up the mountain, we all chased them back, saying they were on official business. Be careful not to kill anyone."

Mr. Lu said: "Second Young Master is very considerate, I will go and make arrangements right away." After saying that, he turned around and went out.

After a while, Mr. Lu came in and nodded to the second young master, indicating that everything had been arranged. The second young master said: "This time we are digging for treasure. If we didn't already know the location of the treasure, it would be really difficult to find it. According to reports,

Jiao Da and Jiao Er, who went into the water, said that the bottom of the lake was full of rocks and rugged. There were only a few more rocks where the treasure was hidden. The Jiao brothers moved away a few rocks and saw the fishing nets that tied up the treasures. However, those nets were already gone.

It's really messed up. Just remove the rocks that are weighing on the box tomorrow."

Mr. Lu said: "Fortunately, the lake is not too deep, otherwise the trouble would be even greater. In addition, the box containing the treasures is made of Manchurian ash, so it is not afraid of blisters. If it were an ordinary wooden box, it would have rotted long ago."

The second young master said, "How to find treasures, does Mr. Lu have any countermeasures?"

Mr. Lu nodded and said: "Tomorrow, after the thirty Black Eagles enter the water, they will tie the ropes to the wooden boxes. In addition, when we go there tomorrow, we will bring some wood and make a temporary raft. Then we will drag the treasure box to the raft.

, they can be transported to the shore. According to what Jiang Da said before his death, the first batch of treasures contained ten boxes, which were very heavy. They also spent a lot of effort to drop the treasures. Fortunately, these boxes were placed side by side at the bottom of the lake.

Our people can be divided into several groups and work at the same time. If the boxes and rocks were piled into a hill, it would be more troublesome to retrieve them."

The second young master nodded and said: "That's very good. The key depends on tomorrow." Mr. Lu also nodded and said nothing.

After getting up the next morning, Song Zheng did not run to Maling Lake immediately. It was still too early. Song Zheng just went to practice boxing on the big rocks on the west mountainside as planned, and then went home to have breakfast. Mr. Song was still not in good spirits.

Song Zheng didn't ask any further questions. After dinner, he said hello to his family and headed towards the west mountain. Walking along the mountain road to the middle of the mountain, Song Zheng met Zheng Laosan, who often fished in the village, and was coming down the mountain dejectedly.

Zheng Laosan obviously knew Song Zheng. Although he was a little surprised, he still said: "Young master, don't go up. There are government officials on the other side of the mountain on errands. Anyone who comes up the mountain will be kicked back."

Song Zheng was startled and looked towards the top of the ridge. Sure enough, there was a big man in public uniform standing there, staring down the mountain road.

Song Zheng said to Zheng Laosan: "Brother Zheng, what errands are the officials doing?"

Zheng Laosan said: "How did I know? I was kicked back before I even climbed to the top of the mountain. How can we, a common man, dare to ask more questions about government affairs?"

Song Zheng nodded and thought, it turns out that even the mountain road is blocked, what should I do? Old man Zheng said that there is a great opportunity, maybe he can give me some treasure, it would be a pity to give up. Thinking of this, he

He said to Zheng Laosan: "Brother Zheng, you go down first, I will rest here for a while and I will go back in a while."

Zheng Laosan nodded and walked down the mountain dejectedly. Song Zheng stayed for a while and then walked down the mountain. Looking at the top of the mountain when the big man couldn't see it, he dove into the dense forest and then climbed up cautiously. Because

With his short stature, Song Zheng could easily avoid the sight of the big man with the help of rocks or bushes. Coupled with the habit of being a thief in his previous life, Song Zheng climbed up to the top of the ridge smoothly without making any sound, and was about 40 to 50 meters away from the big man.

He knelt down where he was, raised his head and looked down the mountain.

There were more than a dozen carts parked at the foot of the mountain, and hundreds of big men were busy there. Some were lifting wood from the carts, others were nailing rafts there, and there were still twenty or thirty people in the lake, constantly working.

Breathing diving. There are two people directing it by the lake. They are the young man in white and the old man in black that we saw yesterday.

After a while, five rafts were ready and put into the lake. There were about ten big men standing on each raft, slowly paddling to the diving place of those people. At this time, the big men who were diving came up, each time
