"I'll go with you this time."

"What?" Hu Zongxian almost jumped up, then shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not."

Hu Zongxian must not let Luo Xin go out to take risks. Once Luo Xin dies at sea, as the Grand Commander, he will definitely have the greatest responsibility.

"I have to go!" Luo Xin said seriously: "The problem of this pirate must be solved as soon as possible. Your Majesty does not have much patience. If it cannot be solved in the shortest time, not only will I have problems, but you will also have problems, brother."

"I know." Hu Zongxian nodded and said, "But that won't let you take risks."

"It's not a risk. Pirates are just killing people and setting fires. I'll go see them and find out. If you can fight, then fight. If you can't fight, then fight. If you can't fight, then talk to them. There should be no danger."

"How could there be no danger..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't persuade me anymore, I will definitely go."

Hu Zongxian's face became very ugly. Luo Xin had an imperial edict there, so he couldn't change his decision. In the end, he could only nod and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You still need to take charge of the overall situation on the shore. Even if something happens to me, at least you will still be in the southeast. If both of us are in trouble, then the southeast will be in chaos."

Hu Zongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid of going out to sea. His face showed concern and said:

"But, you can't go out to sea alone."

"Why am I alone? Isn't it that there is a Ming Navy, and Lord Liu's Jinyiwei Ye followed me."

Five days later.

Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing, Xu Luqing, and the five masters all went to see Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou at the dock. When those vassal merchants saw Luo Xin, they followed him in person, and their nervous hearts were much more relaxed. Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou were on the main ship of the Ming Navy. Luo Xin stood on the deck and shouted in a deep voice:

"out!"

More than a hundred sea boats left the coast and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing's faces were full of worries.

Xu Shixing was really worried about Luo Xin's comfort, while Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng were more worried about what to do if something happened to Luo Xin?

As for Xu Luqing's mood at this time, he hoped that Luo Xin would go well this time. Because only when everything went well, the Maritime Bureau could continue to collect tariffs in the future, so that Your Majesty would not make things difficult for the Xu family. However, if Luo Xin died, the maritime trade would be cut off, and the Maritime Bureau would have no taxes to collect. At that time, the person His Majesty hated the most would be his father.

However, when he thought of the humiliation that Luo Xin brought to the Xu family, he wished Luo Xin died at the sea.

The five masters all hope that Luo Xin can return in triumph, so that they can truly control the maritime trade. You must know that this time, Your Majesty issued an order to not allow the Xu family to touch the maritime trade again, and also issued an order to praise the five of them. In the future, the maritime trade matters will not belong to them, but who else will it belong to?

Lots of money are waiting for them to make money.

But all this must be based on Luo Xin's return in triumphant manner, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

Can Luo Xin return after victory?

To be honest, more than 100 people think that Luo Xin can't return triumphantly. After all, not long ago, the Ming Navy was beaten by the pirate. This time, there was one more Luo Xin, and he would win?

Still joking?

Eighty percent of people think that although Luo Xin will fail, he will be able to come back alive. After all, although the Ming Navy failed last time, he escaped. Luo Xin could not defeat the pirates, but could not escape?

But 20% of people think that Luo Xin will die at sea. After all, he has no eyes and is still at sea.

Therefore, the five masters were really nervous and left the servants at the dock. The five people returned to the mansion with uneasy news.

In fact, there are more than five major families waiting for news?

Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing, and the Xu family were all waiting for Luo Xin’s news. Luo Xin’s news was related to the future of these people, especially to the Xu family, and even to the survival of life and death.

If Luo Xin is alive, Xu Jiaye can live.

If Luo Xin died and Emperor Jiajing was furious, who would know if he would pour out all his anger on the Xu family?

Of course, Emperor Jiajing's anger was not because Luo Xin died, but because the Maritime Bureau could not collect the money.

The atmosphere in the entire southeast became stagnant, and everyone who had something to do with this matter was unsure. The news was also sent to the capital as quickly as possible and before the case of Emperor Jiajing.

On the endless sea.

Liu Shouyou and Luo Xin stood side by side on the deck. Luo Xin looked at the sea and said, "If there are pirates, they should appear in this sea area. Otherwise, we will leave this strait a little later. It will become difficult for the pirates to rob."

"pirate!"

As soon as Luo Xin finished speaking, Liu Shouyou shouted in panic, and at the same time stretched out his hand to point ahead. Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead.

A black dot appeared in front of them, and the black dots magnified rapidly. They were sea ships approaching them quickly.

The Ming Navy had already started to set up its formation and faced the pirates opposite. The pirate ships were still far away from the Ming Navy. When the Ming Navy's bows and arrows were not reaching the pirate ship, they suddenly heard thunder sounds. Then they saw a series of fires coming out of the pirate ship opposite, and then shells landed about three meters away from the Ming Navy's ship, and thick water columns burst out.

"Sir..." Liu Shouyou's face became even more panicked.

"Sir..." At this time, Yu Dayou also walked to Luo Xin's side.

Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou and said, "Brother Yu, can you beat him?"

Yu Dayou's face looked very ugly. Last time, Yu Dayou did not come, but this time he asked to come, wanting to destroy the pirate.

But at this time, he saw this pirate, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The other party's ships were not much smaller than them, with nearly a hundred ships, and they were all large sea ships. The most important thing was that each ship had so many artillery on it. Before he could get close, his ship would be bombarded by the other party's artillery.

How can I fight this?

If the sea ship on your side is ten times that of a pirate, you can still fight, but now it can't even double it. When the pirate's ship gets closer, it's too late to escape.

"Sir, we can't beat it." Yu Dayou said arduously: "We have to withdraw quickly..."

"Don't be afraid!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Put down a small boat."
