"Revoke the alarm! Yaya, forget it again. This is the port of the Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to the door of our relatives. Are you still fighting at the door of your relatives when you visit? That's so rude! You saw it, you frightened the patrol camp of the Song Dynasty. My uncle, I have to go and apologize to others." The alarm also alarmed Hong Tao in the captain's room. He was lying with Metini on the map of Africa to study the details of the Suez Isthmus. Although this fat man did not look at the timid people, he has been to many places. When he was young, he actually traveled across this isthmus and went directly to the Mediterranean to do business with the Venetians.

The Suez Isthmus is the narrow land sandwiched between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The Suez Canal in later generations was built using several lakes on the isthmus. Its narrowest place is only 100 kilometers, and if the lakes are digging out, there will be only a few dozen kilometers left. If the Suez Canal can be dug, it will save much trouble from Asia to Europe, and at least half of the voyage is shortened, and the risk is still half the risk.

Hong Tao did not tell Metini this idea. He just wanted to understand the geographical conditions at this time. Digging a canal is a huge project, especially in an era when productivity was still low. A Grand Canal made the Sui Dynasty ruin the family's fortune and waste money! Without absolute dominance and huge wealth accumulation, he would definitely not be able to play with this thing. Moreover, Hong Tao had not yet figured out whether to dig this canal. Once this shortcut is available, Eurasia can be connected, which is an opportunity for development for both sides of Eurasia. But he has not yet been able to fully control the waters of Asia. If those religiously fanatical Crusaders are added, it may be even more messy.

"Those Arabs have bad intentions!" Yaya pouted and was unhappy. She caused trouble for her uncle when she became a captain for the first time and had to apologize to others, which made her doubt about her future captain's career.

"Well, you've dealt with it right, but sometimes you still have to look at the location. If it's not at the door of our relatives' house, you throw them all into the sea to feed the fish. Today they're lucky. It's not to give them face, but to give our native relatives a face. Uncle Qi is a native. He's all the cannonballs on our ship, right? Go and tell the ship behind to lift the alarm. I'll deal with the people of the patrol camp." Hong Tao patted Weng Ya's head, affirmed her way first, and then explained to her why she couldn't start a war in the waters of the Song Dynasty. She couldn't understand the reason too deeply, and she couldn't say it, so she could only use Qi Zu to fool her. Not far away. A bird boat from the patrol camp had already put down the boat. It seemed that she was here to persuade her to fight. In order not to let them get on the boat to check, Hong Tao himself also asked the sailors to put down the boat and rowed over with four sailors.

"Brother Hong, don't be fine!" The two small boats met on the sea. Before Hong Tao could speak, an officer wearing armor on the opposite boat suddenly hugged himself and greeted him.

"Oh, hey, it's General Yan. Forgive me, forgive me, I'm not my unclear eyes. The main reason is that General Yan's outfit is too majestic, I didn't dare to look at it anymore!" Hong Tao narrowed his eyes and touched it carefully, and then he smiled brightly like an old friend who had been separated for many years. The people who came really knew him, Yan Wei and Deputy Yan were the ones who were having dinner with Luo Youde two years ago. In the past three years, he has not changed much, but this armor is so scary that he can't recognize him if he doesn't look carefully.

"Wrong, wrong. It's not a general. If you call me like this, you'll be dissatisfied. Brother Luo told me to take care of Brother Hong before going to Lin'an. Did these ships be brought by Brother Hong?" Yan Wei was only over thirty years old, and his personality was cheerful than his official official. Moreover, he was from Qiongzhou. He probably had a good personal relationship with Luo Youde. He didn't have any airs to show off his official position. He jumped over from his boat in one step. He had no intention of being prepared.

"Yes, Brother Luo is going to get rich. He set up a chamber of commerce and said he wanted to go to Dashi to exchange horses for the official family. At this time, he was in Lin'an. I have been to Dashi, so he won't let him be a bodyguard. Brother Yan, see if my boats can protect this escort? To be honest, I am good at sailing, and I have to ask you an expert in war!" Hong Tao directly explained his purpose. These things cannot be hidden from the Maritime Bureau, and there is nothing that cannot be said. Organizing maritime merchants to go to sea at all times, and there are many larger than himself. As for whether to change horses for the official family, take them out to Zhaoyao and Zhaoyao first. I guess a little sesame official like Yan Wei doesn't have the ability to listen to it. He has to listen to it no matter how he says it. In later generations, communication conditions are so developed that he can still pull the big banner, and he can't find out such things.

"Oh, it turns out that the chamber of commerce organized by Uncle Cai is going to follow you! I said, who is so bold to go to Nanfan this season? Brother Hong is really good at being awesome! But I have to ask more questions. This trip is not far away, Brother Hong is really sure to bring them to Dashi? If there is a big mistake, not only Brother Hong will lose the ship, but Brother Luo's family may not be able to live a hard time." Yan Wei must have heard Luo Youde mention Hong Tao's navigation skills, and two bigshi horses had been sent to Guangzhou City a few days ago, to prove that Hong Tao's fleet had indeed been to Dashi. But he still didn't trust Hong Tao very much, and could not speak directly, so he could only persuade him in obscure language.

"Don't worry, I don't take all the boats. At worst, I can let them take my boat to go with me. I dare not say anything else, but if you go to Dashi, it's no difficulty, and there is no need to divide the season!" Hong Tao said very much. Whether he can go there will be clear in a few months. It's meaningless to be modest now.

"That's good. I'm here to wait for Brother Hong to return, so I won't disturb you... By the way, why did Brother Hong make enemies with the Pu family? I heard that the Pu family in Guangzhou are very opposed to this chamber of commerce. There are also rumors that Brother Hong is eating rice at sea. The Pu family here is very powerful, and they might make trouble for the magistrate. If the merchants are too damaged, Brother Hong will probably be in trouble when he comes to Guangzhou again in the future." Yan Wei was afraid that Hong Tao would not understand what he had said just now, and then he made some clear statements, so he stepped back to his boat and rowed towards the Arab fleet.

"These Arabs are quite well-informed. It seems that there are still many people passing messages to them along the way! As a result, wait, let me take care of you one by one. Go to Qiongzhou!" Hong Tao understood why Yan Wei came to ask about business trips. It turned out that he heard some disharmonious voices in Guangzhou. The Arabs have found themselves, the culprit. This news can only be leaked from Misca Port, and maybe there will be witnesses.

Witness, Bo Jiao's father-in-law, probably wanted to play a trick of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger with him. There must be many ports he had stopped along the way that also provided information to these Arabs. Hong Tao had expected this situation before, but because his trip to Lin'an delayed his second trip to the west, he didn't have to hurry to clean up these hidden dangers. Well, let's have a pot of steamed-up this time, and first clear the influence of the Arabs from east to Ceylon, and see who dares to give him eye drops in the future!

"Karl, take people to find Luo Dacai, first check their ships for me. Anyone who cannot sail far away will be removed. Arrange the goods and merchants on the ship on our ship. Don't bring too much. We have to do more work along the way. In addition, tell Luo Dacai what I mean. The Arabs on the shore already knew that our fleet had sunk the seven Arab merchant ships. I also reminded him to pay attention. Do you understand?" Hong Tao did not return to his flagship Guangzhou.

Instead, the sailors rowed the boat next to Carl's Qiongzhou, climbed onto the deck and whispered to Carl. For his own safety, he no longer wanted to go to Guangzhou Port rashly. If the magistrate really listened to the one-sided words of the Pu family, it would be too unfair to arrest him? There were unjust cases in all dynasties and generations, and he could not be the big head. As for the same sentence, if the master is in trouble, the servant will take it. I can't save you in vain. At the critical moment, I can only give Carlshe.

"I understand! Do we still have a chance to hit their ships this time?" Carl didn't ask himself if it was dangerous to go there, but was very interested in the merchant ships that continued to attack the Arabs.

"That's a must. If you dare to sue us for a lawsuit, I will beat them once. Let's see if they are stubborn or our grenades! Be careful about your safety and come back after you finish your words. It's best not to stay in the city for more. Once you find something wrong, get on the boat as soon as possible. As long as you are there, everything can be given up. If you lose someone, you will lose everything. Do you understand?" Although Hong Tao asked Carl to take risks instead of him, he didn't hide anything from him. The questions that should be told should still be reminded.

"Hehe, don't worry, sir, I still want to go home... But I have another wife, what should I say when I go back?" Carl bared his teeth and laughed, but soon started to cry.

"Okay, I'll go through the divorce procedures for you when I come back this time." Hong Tao has heard Carl talk about this countless times these days. He is not complaining to himself, but showing off himself. He is very affectionate with Mia, and has also written a few nonsense poems for others. A man who has been away from home for several years and may never be able to go back in his life. When he meets a girl who is obedient and pretty, he probably can't help it without Hong Tao's forced.

"But I am a believer and can't divorce!" When Carl heard that Hong Tao wanted him to divorce, he immediately expressed his objection.
