Chapter 649 Pirates
"Brother Qin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
After Duanmu Yin and Dong Mingyue left, Dong Tianhao said to Qin Tian with an apologetic look.
"No problem!"
Qin Tian waved his hand. He didn't mind this matter.
"Brother Qin, I wonder if I can invite you to have a few drinks?" Dong Tianhao invited.
"Of course no problem!"
Qin Tian did not refuse.
Half a minute later, Qin Tian and Dong Tianhao went to a restaurant in the city, asked for a private room, ordered wine and food, and chatted while eating and drinking.
Dong Tianhao seemed to be a little depressed, and gradually showed a drunken state, but he directly told the story of his Dong family.
Dongfang Trading Company was founded by Dong Tianhao and Dong Mingyue's father Dong Xuanji, but a year ago, he personally escorted a batch of valuable goods to Sanjie Island for trading. As a result, he was attacked by a Daluo-level beast at sea, which almost caused the caravan to be wiped out. Only one of Dong Xuanji's old brothers escaped.
Because of this accident, the Oriental Trading Company almost collapsed. Fortunately, Dong Mingzhu was quite capable. Under her leadership, the trading company revived and recruited some new people to make two trips in a year.
The trading company had a chance to restore its former scale, but it did not expect that it would be attacked by pirates when it returned from the third trip. The goods on the 18 ships were looted, and the escorting golden immortals were almost killed or injured.
After hearing the news, Dong Mingyue almost fainted with anger. It can be said that the trading company that had just started to improve suffered a huge blow again. It should be said that it was worse than before. For a while, the people in the trading company scattered and left. In the end, only a few old people left by his father were left.
At this time, Duanmu Yin came to the door.
Duanmu Yin always wanted to marry Dong Mingyue as his immortal partner, but Dong Mingyue did not like him. But this time, Duanmu Yin put forward a condition that as long as she married him, his Duanmu family would help them restore the trading company.
Dongfang Commercial Bank was founded by his father with great difficulty. Dong Mingyue didn't want to see his father's hard work fail. After considering it for a few days, he agreed and got engaged to Duanmu Yin.
This time, Dongfang Commercial Bank was selling goods again. Because the fleet was hijacked, it was too late to rebuild the sea ship, so they could only rent a fleet from the shipping company. This was why Dong Mingyue and others appeared at the Giant Shark Shipping Company.
Dong Tianhao was very dissatisfied with Duanmu Yin's behavior of taking advantage of the fire, and the guy's reputation was not good, so he didn't have any good feelings for Duanmu Yin. Of course, Duanmu Yin didn't like him very much.
Because Dongfang Commercial Bank had two accidents in succession, it was inevitable that there was a shortage of manpower. Even if it was about to go to sea, there were not enough escorts, so Dong Tianhao came forward to recruit Qin Tian as an escort.
The next day at noon, Qin Tian and Dong Tianhao came to the dock and boarded a sea ship.
In order to restore the scale of the Oriental Trading Company, Dong Mingyue was ruthless this time. He borrowed a large amount of immortal crystals from Dong Xuanji's old friends and purchased 16 trillion goods to be shipped to the Three Realms Island.
If this batch of goods is sold smoothly, at least 20 trillion immortal crystals can be obtained. After deducting various expenses, there are also more than 2 trillion profits.
However, they will not return with 20 trillion immortal crystals, but will exchange these 20 trillion immortal crystals for the scarce goods from the demons and monsters. If they are shipped back, they will at least double the profit.
This is why countless trading companies have to take risks to ship goods even if they know that the Star Sea is extremely dangerous.
After all, it only takes two or three months to go back and forth, and you can get double the profit. Who can refuse such a profit?
This time, Dong Mingyue rented a total of 12 ships.
Because the trading company was short of manpower, the two siblings escorted them personally.
At the speed of the sea ship, it only takes 22 days to reach the Three Realms Island if everything goes well.
In the first few days, the fleet was relatively calm.
Qin Tian, the escort, also had an easy life. Dong Tianhao personally arranged a nice cabin for him. This guy was very outgoing. Because he didn't like Duanmu Yin, he often came to chat with him.
Qin Tian could see that this guy was actually very worried. If there was another accident during the shipment, they would be doomed.
By the way, there were 24 escorts in the fleet, two on each ship.
On the ninth day of the merchant fleet's voyage.
A fleet with more than 50 giant ships appeared from all directions and took over the 12 ships of the merchant fleet.
"It's pirates!"
Despair appeared on the faces of Dong Mingyue and Dong Tianhao.
The pirate ships gradually approached, and three golden immortal pirates appeared on each ship.
Fifty-four ships, that is, 162 golden immortals.
On the Dongfang Merchants side, even with Duanmu Yin and his two golden immortal guards and the Dong brothers and sisters, there were only 29 people.
The strength gap was huge.
Finally, the pirate ship approached, and the pirates jumped onto the merchant ship one by one.
The pirate leader was a bare-chested, hairy man with a thick beard. His cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Perfection, and there were two Golden Immortal Perfection people beside him.
On the other hand, there was not a single Golden Immortal Perfection person on the Eastern Merchants' side.
"Who is the leader?"
The pirate leader asked in a deep voice.
"Dong Mingyue of the Eastern Merchants meets this gentleman!"
Dong Mingyue, with a pale face, stepped forward and saluted the other party.
"It's actually a female fairy!" The pirate leader grinned: "Let your men give up resistance and you can save a life!"
"Sir, can you be flexible? I am willing to give half of the goods as a reward!"
Dong Mingyue gritted his teeth and said that although half of the goods were lost, if the next thing goes smoothly, there will still be a certain profit.
"Haha, you are a very courageous woman, you actually dare to bargain with me!" the pirate leader sneered, and then waved his hand to signal his men to take action.
At this moment, Duanmuyin stood up and said, "Wait a minute, my lord, I am a member of the Duanmu family in Yunlan Prefecture in the Northern Fairyland. I hope that you will give my Duanmu family some face, and I will definitely be rewarded generously in the future!"
"Are you from the Duanmu family?" A hint of amusement appeared on the pirate leader's face.
"good!"
"What the hell, I've never heard of it!" the pirate leader said with disdain.
"……you……!"
Duanmuyin was so angry that his face turned livid.
"Do it!"
The pirate leader urged impatiently.
"etc!"
Duanmuyin shouted again: "Sir, I am not from the Eastern Trading Company. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to let the three masters and servants leave. We are willing to offer our storage fairy rings!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Dong sisters changed drastically.
Especially Dong Tianhao couldn't help shouting angrily: "Duan Muyin, I didn't expect you to be such a villain!"
Duan Muyin curled his lips and sneered: "If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Could it be that you two siblings are the ones who want to kill me?"
"I like your boy's temper. By the way, your Duanmu family must be quite big, right?" the pirate leader asked.
"Sir, our Duanmu family is a well-established Golden Immortal family in Yunlan Prefecture. I hope you can give me some face, so that I can remember your kindness!" Duanmuyin begged.
The pirate leader grinned and said: "The old Jinxian family, so to speak, should be quite rich. If we arrest you and let your family use the fairy crystal to redeem people, wouldn't it make more money? Boy, you think so. no?"
For a moment, Duan Muyin's face fell, but Dong Tianhao on the side couldn't help laughing: "Duan Muyin, Duan Muyin, you are a typical person who steals the chicken but loses the rice! You deserve it!" (Unfinished) to be continued)
