Just when Li Dong was planning to deal with King Anhua, a more bloody battle was about to take place on the southeast sea thousands of miles away.
Pirates do not go out to sea to rob all year round, because going to sea in winter is a very dangerous thing. At that time, the sea is very windy and rough, and it is easy for sea ice to scratch the hull of the ship, causing the ship to be destroyed and people killed. Therefore, every winter Pirates will go into hibernation and only wake up in spring, once again peeping greedily at the ships passing by on the sea.
This period of dormancy for pirates usually lasts three months, but these three months are not sad. In fact, the pirates are full of expectations for these three months of dormancy, because during this time their On the contrary, the days are more colorful, rich and interesting.
There is a small island not far from the Serpent Island, the home of Han Dongkai, the sea dragon. The word "Heya" means "house" in Japanese, because most of the pirates living nearby are Japanese. Rongers and samurai, so they named this island in Japanese. The name "House" is full of warmth and sweetness, making people immediately think of a place to rest and escape the wind and rain. In fact, Heiya is the largest gold selling cave on the southeast coast.
Every year, pirates go out to sea to rob and save a large amount of gold and silver. This job is a high-risk industry. Not only do they have to face the unpredictable sea every day, but they also have to be on guard against killings by the army and similar fires. They are very capable. The heads will have to be moved tomorrow. The pirates also have considerable understanding and sufficient psychological expectations about this. This also contributes to the fact that the pirates never save money, and they have to enjoy themselves when they have money.
But if people of their status dare to go ashore openly, they will usually be greeted with swords and spears, or the city gates will be closed. No coastal city wants pirates to go to them to spend money, because after spending money, they will often lead wolves into the house.
But where there is demand, there is a market. This has never troubled the smart Chinese. I don¡¯t know when a bold businessman started talking to Han Dongkai, the sea dragon, about building a gold-selling cave near Jingshen Island. On the one hand, it can alleviate pirates. On the other hand, there is a greater benefit, which is to take away all the pirates' money through the Gold Sales Cave, so that the pirates who have nothing have to work for Han Dongkai.
So, Heyah, a deformed pure consumption island, was born. There are only two kinds of shops on this island, the casino and the red building. Heiya is a free port. It not only welcomes pirates on the sea to come here to spend money, but also welcomes the wealthy people from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty to relax and entertain here.
There is a light at the highest point of Heiya. This light not only provides direction for sailing ships in the dark, but is also an important sign. When the light is on at night, it means that the island is open for business and is ready to be collected by you. of silver.
When the lights are turned off during the day, the entire island begins to fall silent after the all-night carnival. Daytime is actually the quietest time on the island.
But one day just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the pirates who should have been sleeping during the day came to the street. Each of them looked solemn, with their swords out of their sheaths, and looked at a group of guests unkindly.
Hey, it is a consumer island. As long as you have money, you are the uncle here and you are the most popular person here. But this is not absolute. There is a kind of person who is not welcome here regardless of whether he has money or not - Daming of officers and soldiers
There are two newly docked blessing ships with thousands of materials in the harbor, both flying the flag of the Ming Navy. The young man who got off the ship was wearing a strange military uniform, light blue, with two rows of large copper buttons on his chest shining. The soles of his cowhide boots slapped against the ground. From time to time, he smiled and nodded to this person, then nodded to that person, as if he was reviewing his own army. This person was none other than Chen Xin.
Chen Xin walked into a casino without any scruples, found a chair and sat down, and then said loudly to the pirates who were swarming in, "Is that hook called there? If so, come here and see me!" "The attitude is extremely arrogant.
Many of the pirates below were Japanese samurai loyal to Han Dongkai. Several of them understood the young man's Chinese. Pirates advocated violence and would often fight because of some people's rude words, not to mention this young man. Such a blatant insult to their leader, wouldn't it make other pirates laugh if they did nothing? A Japanese samurai immediately couldn't hold it any longer, pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, made a sword trick, and shouted, "Bagaya Road!" ¡¯ As soon as his feet touched the ground, he rose into the air and slashed through the wind with his sword.
Chen Xin smiled and did not move. Suddenly a black figure flashed out behind Chen Xin. Phew, before everyone could see clearly, the Japanese samurai roared and flew out. In front of Chen Xin stood a giant man like an iron tower. , holding a bloody mace in his hand, looking at the other pirates with contempt, that one was Agudamu.
The other pirates in the hall roared in their throatsHe stood and stared at Chen Xin with murderous intent in his eyes. Ordinarily Chen Xin should feel scared at this time, because even if these people are not friends of the Japanese samurai who was beaten away just now, they have now become his enemies.
¡°When a person just arrives in a strange place and suddenly makes so many enemies, it is definitely not a pleasant thing for anyone.
Then Chen Xin looked down nonchalantly.
"I'm not here to fight. I'm sent by the imperial court to negotiate with Hook. I'll go and tell him quickly that the imperial court has agreed to all his requests. The ordnance he wants is on the ship now"
This sentence caused an uproar among the pirates below. Not all of them were Han Dongkai's men. Some of them belonged to several other big pirate leaders. Several of Han Dongkai's men quickly left the casino and found a fast boat to scare the snake. I went to the island to report the news. At the same time, there were several clippers leaving Heiya, and they rushed to their own island
"Boss, the imperial court has sent someone here, saying that they have brought all the weapons you requested and asked you to send someone to hand them over!" The Japanese ronin who reported the news looked at Han Dongkai with a strange look.
"What did you say?!" Han Dongkai opened his mouth in disbelief. The news was so sudden. He really didn't expect that the court actually agreed to his request. How could this be possible? Could it be that the imperial court really wanted to recruit him? He stood there for a long time, "Where are they now?"
"They are all having fun!"
"Ah?!" Han Dongkai stood up suddenly, and the word "conspiracy" suddenly flashed in his mind. He shouted outside, "Silang!"
"Hai!" Shiro immediately flashed in from the door. "Master, what are your orders?"
"Hurry up and take people with you, kill all the people sent by the court in front of everyone, leave no one behind! Burn their boats too!"
"Hai!" Shiro bowed and retreated.
Han Dongkai only felt that his head was aching for a while. The court's move was really cruel. If the other pirates knew that he had defected to the court, a war would be inevitable. The pirates had no faith at all. They We only believe in attacking first! Even the Japanese samurai who were loyal to him had no idea whether they would protect themselves after knowing that they had defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Han Dongkai walked back and forth in the room uneasily, wondering if his remedy could convince the other pirates that it was just a divorce plan by the imperial court. He had to find a way to explain it clearly to the other pirates, otherwise their group would It's over, Han Dongkai thought in panic, he had never felt so powerless.
Shiro came back soon.
"So fast?"
"Master, I'm sorry!" Shiro made a ninety-degree bow.
"I'm sorry? What do you mean?" Han Dongkai frowned.
"I didn't kill him!"
Han Dongkai¡¯s hook was instantly placed on Shiro¡¯s neck. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, ¡°You said you didn¡¯t kill him?¡±
"I can not!"
Hearing this, Han Dongkai was a little confused. He once saved Shiro's life. He knew Shiro's nature. Shiro dared to face more than a dozen Japanese ronin alone, but today he actually said that he didn't dare. "Do you know him?"
Shiro nodded, "He is the son of King Zhenhai Mighty!"
"Chen Xin?!"
Shiro bent down deeper. Although the Japanese are simple-minded, they are not stupid. The Mighty King of Zhenhai has been a powerful force in the Ming Dynasty for decades, and his influence is even greater in Japan. He is almost a household name. Dozens of famous names in Japan all look at the face of King Neptune. Neptune's rage is almost more terrifying than the typhoon. If Shiro kills Chen Xin, no matter where he is hiding, he and his family will definitely be found, and Neptune will torture them in extremely terrifying ways!
Han Dongkai's body relaxed and he slumped down on the chair, muttering "It's over."
At this time, Ye Xiaowan walked in with her skirt in hand and asked in surprise, "Husband, I heard that the imperial court sent someone here?" This news was told to Ye Xiaowan by Luo Wenwen at the right time.
"Madam, do you know everything?" Han Dongkai asked puzzledly
"Husband, I just said that the court is sincere! Look" Ye Xiaowan's face was full of joy.
Han Dongkai waved at Silang, and Silang bowed and retreated. Han Dongkai took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
¡°Madam, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as simple as you think.¡±
"Husband, youdo you still doubt the court at this time?"
Han Dongkai gritted his teeth and said
"HusbandMan, the court is trying to drive a wedge between me and other pirates so that they can kill people with a knife! "
"Thisis this impossible? The court really wants to put you to death? Why go to such trouble?" Ye Xiaowan frowned and looked at Han Dongkai in disbelief.
Looking at Ye Xiaowan's expression, Han Dongkai felt distressed for a while. He suddenly laughed, "Madam, these are things that we men should consider. Madam, your husband, I am not afraid of anyone. I can take care of these things myself. Madam." Go and rest.¡±
Ye Xiaowan shook her head and said stubbornly
"Husband, why don't you call the envoy from the imperial court and let's have a good talk with him and see what the imperial court's regulations are? Okay?"
"Okay, okay, madam, please go back first. I will naturally ask the envoy to come and have a good talk!" Han Dongkai had already had murderous intentions when he said this. Chen Xin must die, and he must deal with this difficulty first. Well, let¡¯s talk about Neptune later. The worst case scenario is that we will merge with Neptune, at least that way we still have a three-point chance.
"No, husband, I want to stay with you!"
"you"
"Husband, have I ever asked you for anything? You didn't even agree to my request?" Ye Xiaowan said with tears in her eyes.
Han Dongkai immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my good wife, just stay with me Come on, call the envoys from the imperial court!"
"Brother Han has been famous for a long time. Today I saw that he is indeed a talented person. He has earned such a big family fortune at such a young age!"
"Brother Chen, you're so polite. How can I get into Prince Long's eyes with this little wealth? Hahaha"
Listening to the conversation between the two people, they were complimenting each other like good friends they hadn't seen for many years, but there was a burning murderous look in their eyes.
Chen Xin did not expect that there were female relatives in the house, and hurriedly lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this must be Mrs. Sister-in-law. I even specially selected some gifts for Mrs. Sister-in-law this time, please accept them with pleasure!"
"Mr. Chen, you are so polite. I have long heard my husband talk about Mr. Chen's abilities. He said that the success of Neptune in such a big situation is all due to Mr. Chen's good management skills!"
"My sister-in-law is ridiculous. My father's foundation was all built with his own fists and has nothing to do with my younger brother!"
Ye Xiaowan smiled gracefully.
"Mr. Chen, let's not talk in circles, little lady. As a woman, I shouldn't say much about this matter. However, this matter is related to the life and death of my husband and I. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. We still have some doubts about the sincerity of the court."
Chen Xin smiled slightly, did not raise his head, but said something irrelevant, "The Crown Prince has ascended the throne. The news from the sea has not yet spread, but the mainland is now in the Zhengde Dynasty!"
"ah?!"
"Your Majesty asked me to come just to reassure you. Your Majesty also said that in order to express his sincerity, he will personally bring a boat to welcome you and your wife on the spring day this year! Your Majesty is really thirsty for talents!"
Han Dongkai sneered and suddenly interjected, "I wonder how many ships the emperor plans to bring to capture me?"
Chen Xin smiled and shook his head, "Brother Han, you are too worried. His Majesty said he would bring too many ships. He was afraid that you and your wife would have doubts, so he only brought four ships this time!"
After listening to Chen Xin's words, Han Dongkai and Ye Xiaowan looked at each other with joy. The stone in Ye Xiaowan's heart finally fell to the ground. What an honor it was for the emperor to welcome them in person. To comfort their hearts with so few guards, this was enough to show the court's Sincerity lies, God bless me, and my husband and I can finally live a normal life.
Han Dongkai was even more happy in his heart. He was never willing to work under others. This stupid emperor actually brought so few ships. God will be blamed for not taking them. This is an excellent opportunity. When the time comes, he will bring People kidnapped the emperor and held the emperor hostage to order the princes! Hahaha. . .
Seeing the smiles of the couple, Chen Xin was also smiling. Han Dongkai's grave has been dug, but there are still some characters missing. I wonder if Li Shuangcheng from the south has taken action?
