He was so panicked that he had no choice but to flee. This was the first time he had escaped in such a miserable manner after going ashore many times since he became an adult.

On the first day that Guan Ziqi and his companions came ashore, they displayed some good things on the street. The people he sent out were among them and saw them.

"What? You want to steal their things?" The pirate leader frowned.

This news has been known to the Gentiles since their first day.

But the other side had ten ships of that size, and there were probably about forty people on each ship, and each of those people was extremely strong.

You can tell at first glance that they are not easy to mess with.

He had already disguised himself as a fisherman and observed closely.

But he had more than two thousand men under his command, so he was not afraid.

He originally planned to wait for those foreigners to complete the deal with Rajiv and Ajay before bringing his men to do something big.

As a result, tonight's action dealt him a heavy blow, which reduced his confidence in this idea.

He didn't dare to let all his men get involved.

"Brother, those people are too powerful. We can't rob them by force. We can steal." The little leader gave an idea with a sly grin.

"Steal? How to steal?" The pirate leader was suddenly perked up.

"Of course, we'll sneak up under the cover of darkness and steal it.

Which of us is not water-based?

Once they have exchanged all their goods, we will board the ship and steal their gold and silver.

Be prepared for the response. If we steal a few boxes of his gold and silver, it will be enough for us to spend for a whole year.

I heard that this time Rajiv mortgaged all his property and used some of the goods as a substitute before he was able to eat up the goods from the foreigners.

We can't let go of such a good opportunity." The little boss tried his best to persuade.

The pirate leader was very interested after hearing his words.

"We're only stealing a small portion, so we don't think the foreigners will pursue us relentlessly. Besides, it wouldn't be easy for them to find us. There are seven or eight islands in the surrounding waters, so they wouldn't be able to find us. And if they do find us, how can we, with so many of us, be afraid of four hundred men on ten ships?"

The small boss continued to lobby.

"You make sense. Let me think about it. We should also give some comfort to the brothers who died tonight. We really should find a way to get this money." The pirate leader pondered.

Thinking about the feasibility of this.

It was almost midnight when Shangguan Ziqi and his men returned to the inn.

Yu Yuanzheng hadn't gone to bed yet, waiting for him to come back.

As a result, we waited until so late.

"How is it?" Yu Yuanzheng saw him come back and immediately went forward to check if he was injured.

As a result, there was actually very little blood on his body, only a few small spots.

Then she checked on the three children.

"Don't worry, mother, we are all fine. Those people are too weak.

He doesn't know any proper moves at all, relying solely on brute force. There's no way he's our match.

"Father killed over a dozen of them alone. My three siblings killed five. We didn't kill them, though; we simply left them powerless to resist," Shangguan Changyu said excitedly.

Yu Yuanzheng looked back and forth at the three children and indeed saw that there was nothing wrong with them, except that there was a lot of blood on their bodies.

"Jing'er, are you scared?" Yu Yuanzheng was most concerned about her daughter's situation.

"Don't be afraid. Those are bad guys who deserve to be killed. I will kill them without mercy."

Yu Yuanzheng was stunned when he heard this.

Well, she, the mother, is the weakest person in the family.

"The children are doing well, you don't have to worry." Shangguan Ziqi comforted.

"Take out your swords and wipe them carefully. It will affect the luster of the swords over time." Shangguan Ziqi was very satisfied with the performance of the three children. This was the first time they killed a real person.

He kept an eye on the children at all times at first, and he was never far away from them when he was fighting the enemy.

He felt relieved when he saw that they all used the moves in a professional manner and did not suffer any losses.

"Everyone go to bed and report to Emperor Qiming tomorrow." Yu Yuanzheng put the worry that had been weighing on his mind for two hours back into his stomach.

The next day, after learning about the battle last night, Emperor Qiming and the old prince praised the three children profusely, making them as proud as peacocks and beaming for the entire day.

The cargo on the ten ships has not yet been unloaded.

It will probably take another two or three days, and the goods Rajiv prepared will not arrive that quickly.

They planned to buy some things they would need on the ship for the return trip in the next two days.

The guide arranged by Ajay was very enthusiastic in guiding them.

The soldiers on the big ship were unloading and loading cargo at the same time.

After six days, all the goods they needed were loaded onto the ship.

The goods Rajiv had prepared also arrived, mainly some products unique to Shenduo.

For example, some leather products are very good.

There are also their unique handicrafts, such as wood carvings.

Yu Yuanzheng’s favorite is their spices.

This is their biggest feature.

It will definitely sell well if you bring it back.

She also brought some spice seeds back with her to plant on the farm.

Then there are the various jewels, jade, etc. that they use to cover their gold and silver.

Yu Yuanzheng also asked for some of their unique textiles, which were very beautiful and could be taken back to have the craftsmen of Wei imitate them to see if they could be made.

The goods brought by the ten ships were worth about 200,000 taels of silver. After being sold here across the ocean, they were sold for 300,000 taels of silver in cash, plus various jewelry, jade, and goods unique to Shenduo Country.

"Your Majesty, we really made a lot of money this time." Yu Yuanzheng did the statistics and brought the account book to Emperor Qiming for review.

"Oh?" Emperor Qiming took the account book with a smile, flipped through it, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"That's right. Over 100% profit. When we return to Wei and sell everything on the ship, we can probably get another 100,000 taels of silver."

This was the first time that Emperor Qiming showed the joy of a businessman when he made money.

"Mother, I think making money is only one of the gains. We have also gained a lot of knowledge along the way. In the Wei Dynasty, even the most knowledgeable teacher cannot teach you what you have learned along the way." Shangguan Changyu expressed his opinion proudly.

"Chang Yu is right, money is secondary, gaining knowledge is the most important. Money can be spent and come back, but knowledge cannot be bought with money." Yu Yuanzheng agreed with his eldest son's words.

"We have been in Shenduo Kingdom for almost half a month, and it's time to go back. The journey back is not smooth, and it will probably take more time. By the time we arrive in the capital, it will probably be almost the New Year." Emperor Qiming missed his eldest grandson.

The old prince brought his three grandchildren with him, and he looked at them with envy every day.

Next time I go out to sea, I must bring my eldest grandson with me.

The eldest grandson of Prince Rong's Mansion should also get along well with the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Otherwise, the relationship will not be deep in the future.

The food on the ship is enough to last for two months, so we should be able to reach Wei.

Everything is ready and we plan to set sail back to Wei tomorrow.

That night, only two people were left on each ship to patrol, and everyone got a good night's sleep to prepare for the upcoming voyage.

But this night, when it was late and quiet, waves crashed against the side of the boat.

In the dark night, several fishing boats quietly approached the ten large ships under the cover of darkness.
