0505: The Caravan Is Attacked.
At sunset, candles were lit in every household.
The winter in Hailan City is coming to an end soon, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of spring.
Inside the castle restaurant.
Because Qiao Ji, Lei Nai and the others were already hungry, their dinner time was brought forward.
In the past few days, every time I eat, it can be said to be "Sura Field", and the attention is always on Qiao Ji.
The atmosphere at the dining table has always been delicate, and everyone ate very quietly, unlike before when they would talk and laugh.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing this, Qiao Ji coughed a few times, raised her eyes and asked, "If you want to eat, you can tell Xue Nai."
Xue Nai stopped drinking the soup spoon, nodded and said, "Yes, I have learned several new dishes recently, such as sweet and sour fish, spicy hot pot..."
The delicate white cat girl knew that the lord wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so she said a few more words.
"I still want to eat the three-cup chicken from last time. It's really delicious." Lei Nai spoke first.
The black cat girl didn't think so much, she became active when she heard the delicious food, and the fluffy cat's tail kept flicking left and right.
"If possible, I would like to eat scrambled eggs with red tomatoes." You 03 Lafei's soft voice sounded.
Tomatoes are actually tomatoes, which are slightly smaller in appearance than tomatoes. When eaten raw, they have a glutinous texture, but when cooked, they become dense, sweet and sour.
Ever since the princess ate scrambled eggs with red tomatoes, almost every meal time came, she would subconsciously scan the dishes on the table to see if there was such a dish.
"Then I want to eat drunk crab." Dinah also joined the discussion.
She is wearing a very ladylike dress today, a long green dress that matches her complexion well, and her long crimson hair is casually draped.
It's rare for Lang Erniang to dress like this, and it's hard not to notice her, after all, she used to be wearing tights.
Lian Xin picked up a glass of warm water and took a sip, then said, "I don't have anything in particular I want to eat, as long as it's cooked by Xiao Xue.
"Me too, I like any dish." Hua Wei stroked her hair and said.
When the girl was in charge of the Yellow Crane Tower, three meals a day were cooked by chefs from the Yellow Crane Tower.
The food made by the Yellow Crane Tower is also delicious, but compared with Xue Nai, it is much inferior, and it has a lot to do with the seasoning.
"Okay, then I will arrange the next meal for you." Xue Nai squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly.
Bai Maoniang has a sense of accomplishment in her heart, especially when everyone wants to eat her dishes.
It was rare for Qiao Ji to see such a harmonious atmosphere, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After the chatterbox opened, everyone chatted and laughed about dinner, and finished dinner in more than an hour.
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, Qiao Ji took Lian Xin and others out of the restaurant and went to the study.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
In the study.
As soon as Qiao Ji took the main seat and was about to take a drink, Hua Wei rushed over, a layer of sweat dripping from her white and tender forehead.
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to deal with the caravan business?" Qiao Ji looked up at the anxious girl.
Hua Wei tried her best to calm down her panting breath, and said seriously, "My lord, something happened to our caravan."
When she left the castle after dinner and was about to go to the Chamber of Commerce in the Ori District, she met someone from the Chamber of Commerce on the way and told the girl that the caravan was attacked.
Qiao Ji's Chamber of Commerce was established in the Ori District of the city, and its name was Longteng Wanli Chamber of Commerce.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Ji asked, frowning.
"This caravan is going to the Cyphilosanthes spinosae Islands. Less than a day after leaving Hailan City, they were attacked by pirates. They have three ships..."
Hua Wei's breathing has been slow and steady, and she said slowly, "All the cargo on the ship has been looted.
Qiao Ji frowned and asked, "How many casualties were there in the caravan?"
"A total of 70 people died, 31 people were injured, and 34 people were missing..." Hua Wei reported the number in a heavy tone.
This time, the caravan headed to the Cymbidium Islands consisted of four ships, all of which were fully loaded with cargo.
"Do you know which pirate group it is?" Qiao Ji asked with a cold face.
The three major pirate groups in Beigang were all wiped out, leaving only a few small pirate groups. Due to their small number of people and wide range of activities, they have not been effectively resolved.
Qiao Ji originally planned to send people to clean it up at the beginning of spring, but he didn't expect them to be so rampant.
"I don't know yet, none of those pirate ships had any pirate flags." Hua Wei shook her head helplessly.
"Doesn't the Chamber of Commerce equip every caravan with guard knights?" Qiao Ji asked with slightly pressed eyes.
How many knights the caravan is equipped with depends entirely on how many merchant ships there are and the value of the goods on board.
Qiao Ji believed that a well-trained knight could handle a small pirate group.
"The survivors said that the pirates had treasures, and our knights couldn't beat them." Hua Wei continued.
"What type of treasure is it?" Qiao Ji was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the small pirate group also had a treasure, but one of the three pirate groups that had been wiped out before didn't have a treasure.
"It is said that it is a bow that can control arrows, and the arrows it shoots can always accurately chase the knight."
Hua Wei pointed her chin and recalled what her subordinates said, and continued, "The bow that can shoot several arrows at once is a very powerful treasure.
Qiao Ji nodded slightly with a cold face, and said in a deep voice, "A treasure that can automatically track? It seems that the plan to eliminate pirates has to be advanced."
I probably know that it is an offensive treasure, and it doesn't need the holder to have good bow skills at all, just mindless archery.
Such a treasure is indeed a bit tricky, but if you can get it, it will be very useful for Ji.
Qiao Ji lightly tapped the table with her index finger, raised her head and ordered, "Hua Wei, go to the chamber of commerce and ask everyone not to go to sea for the time being, and we will talk about it after the pirates are cleared."
"Yes." Hua Wei responded immediately, turned and left the study to go to the chamber of commerce.
"Tat T T T T T T T T
Lian Xin also came to Qiao Ji's desk from her own place, and said worriedly, "My lord, this time the loss is a bit serious. w
This is the first time that the caravan was attacked by pirates since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.
And because so many people died at once with the treasure, it will definitely make everyone in the chamber of commerce panic.
"Let Misty Court investigate these pirates, the more detailed the information, the better." Qiao Ji immediately ordered.
"Understood." Lian Xin nodded immediately.
