"Master, do you think we can achieve His Highness's purpose this time?"
Just as Li Xiang was leading everyone towards this side, Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen, who were already seated in the meeting hall, were chatting in low voices.
The meeting hall is located in the center of the entire village and is a wooden structure building. The top is covered with thick straw, which is used in most houses in Kyushu.
The entire meeting hall is not large, and there is only enough space for twenty or thirty people.
As former subordinates of Li Xiang, Master Wang and Liu Dashen were no strangers to this.
"You ask me how I know, everything depends on God's will. But I personally estimate that His Highness's plan to recruit Li Xiangda as the head of the family is very likely to succeed."
Mrs. Wang raised her hand and touched her beard, squinted her eyes and whispered to Liu Dashen.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"Compared to Yang Biao, Liu Dashen is just a martial artist, and there is always a weak point in his mind.
Therefore, he cannot see clearly these obvious problems.
It is precisely for this reason that Mrs. Wang will always be by Liu Dascar's side to assist him, just like assisting Liu Dascar's father.
Because only in this way can the usefulness of Master Wang be highlighted.
"Otherwise, how could a scholar like Mrs. Wang hang out among pirates?
He always has to show his usefulness in order to survive among the pirates, right?
Liu Dashen, like his father, is the kind of muscular and simple-minded person.
Therefore, Master Wang is very important to them.
Master Wang looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. He lowered his voice and said, "Think about it, what is the situation of the boss now? He has been defeated again and again in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong. We have lost a lot of ships and manpower. I even heard that for half a month, even Pang Dahai, who had kowtowed with him, took his brothers to leave and join Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, the current situation of the head of Li Xiangda is not good. It¡¯s not good, he is completely isolated and helpless now. Do you think he would care about His Highness¡¯s proposal under such circumstances?¡±
When Mrs. Wang said this, Liu Dashang fell silent immediately.
He was not speechless, but began to think about it. If he encountered such a situation, what would he do?
A head-on fight with Zheng Zhilong?
?Obviously, this is unrealistic.
The original strength has been greatly lost, and it is no longer enough in human hands.
"Compared to Zheng Zhilong, who now has many strong men, horses, and ships, there is no comparison at all.
"Coupled with the betrayal and separation of some people, it can be said that if this matter is placed on me, I can't think of any good way to solve it.
Therefore, if someone is willing to recruit you and provide you with some powerful assistance, then you will definitely be tempted.
If you think about it as a human being, Li Xiang would also be moved.
"I understand, Master, then the next contact with the Headmaster will all depend on you. As long as this is done, we can be regarded as highly regarded by His Highness, and if the Headmaster joins in, we will It can be considered as having a backer, right?"
Although Liu Dashen has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, he is not a complete idiot.
He has already seen that if Li Xiang agrees to join His Highness, it will be an advantage for them.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "I guess you still have some brains and can see this problem."
Faced with Mrs. Wang¡¯s small compliment, Liu Dashen giggled like ¡°hehehehe¡±.
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the meeting hall.
Hahaha!
Yang Erluzi, you are still alive, that¡¯s good!
Dangdang, I haven't seen it for a long time, you are still so old.
Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen both stood up and straightened their clothes.
They knew that Li Xiang had arrived.
As expected, after a while of greetings outside the door, silver-haired Li Xianglong walked in at a brisk pace.
Following him were his nephew Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi, who was missing an arm.
Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen knew that these were definitely Li Xiang¡¯s two direct descendants.
"Long time no see, Mr. Boss!"
"Uncle, Liu is polite here!"
"Come on, don't say that, let me take a good look at you two."
After the two saw Li Xiang, they quickly raised their hands and cupped their fists in greeting.
Li Xiangze came to the two of them in a few steps, raised his hand to support their arms with an excited look on his face, and began to look at the two of them up and down.
"Sit down and talk!"
Li Xiang sat the two of them down on their seats, and then said with a hush look on his face: "I am so happy to see you two countries. If you hadn't stayed behind to entangle me, Zheng Zhilong, I think I, Li Xiang, had already confessed in that naval battle."
Li Xiang mentioned the naval battle last summer with a very emotional look on his face.
"After I came back, I immediately sent someone to inquire about you. But in the end, I heard that you were captured by Zheng Zhilong and sold to the Dutch. When I originally wanted to spend money to buy you out, those hateful Dutch actually left."
Li Xiang recalled her plans at the time.
"Originally, I thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect that you all came back safe and sound. This makes me really happy, happy."
Li Xiang did not raise the question of how they came back.
"However, Mrs. Wang is very clear in her heart.
He heard some problems from Li Xiang's words, that is, the big boss still had a lot of doubts in his heart about how they came back.
"Da Liu, your father is also my old brother. When I heard that you and your wife were sold to the Dutch, I felt very uncomfortable. I am not afraid of your jokes. I will always dream about you at night. Dad, he said I was sorry for him."
When Li Xiang said this, she raised her hands and couldn't help but beat her chest.
In fact, Li Xiang is not acting in such a way, it is almost 80% true.
When he heard that Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang were sold to the Dutch and taken away, he couldn't sleep all day long. And he would have nightmares at night, dreaming that Liu Da's scarred father was covered in blood and complained about him, saying that Li Xiang didn't leave him a wife.
At this point, Li Xiang feels very regretful every time she thinks of Liu Dashen.
"Uncle, I'm back now. So, you don't have to blame yourself." Liu Dashen was careless and felt a little sorry when he saw Li Xiang acting like this. "I also voluntarily cut off the marriage. Under the circumstances, if we didn't take the initiative, all the brothers would be in trouble. And even if it wasn't us at that time, I think other brothers would have stepped forward."
Liu Dashen did not take this matter seriously. In his opinion, he was just paying attention to loyalty. Since it's about loyalty, we can't talk about anything else.
My father and Li Xiang are old brothers, and Li Xiang is my old uncle.
So under the circumstances at that time, there was nothing wrong with standing up to save the big guy.
We are brothers.
"Da Liu, my dear Da Liu, you miss me so much."
Li Xiang took advantage of the situation and cried bitterly while hugging Liu Dashen.
And Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi on the side also looked sad.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In fact, Yang Biao also admired Liu Dashen very much.
Yang Biao was also present at that naval battle, and he still remembers the scene at that time.
To be fair, at that time, everyone had no morale after being beaten by Zheng Zhilong. So when Li Xiang sent the signal to retreat, everyone was focused on running away.
How can anyone think about what they want to leave behind?
Only Liu Dashen, an outspoken guy, saw the danger at once, and then stepped forward to hold Zheng Zhilong back, buying everyone time.
Therefore, Yang Biao admired Liu Dashen's actions from the bottom of his heart.
Because if Liu Dashen had not stepped forward, then they might not be sitting here today.
¡°It¡¯s hard to say, he had been killed by Zheng Zhilong a long time ago, or he was buried under the sea.
"What a great Liu, you are worthy of being your father's son." Lin Zhaodi, who was missing an arm, praised, "My nephew, after all, you are back now. Then we will slowly settle Zheng Zhilong's debt with him, Holland. I'm sure I've made you suffer a lot, and I'll keep it in mind. The boss won't treat you badly, so you should cultivate yourself for a while when you come back."
 "Forget about those Dutch people. Ever since we fell into the hands of these guys, they have made us suffer a lot." When mentioning the Dutch, Master Wang twitched his brows and immediately began to describe the life at that time.
??????????? In short, it¡¯s called abuse, it really makes the listeners cry and the listeners sad.
"When we were sold to the Dutch, there were more than 200 brothers in total. But along the way, they tortured us to death, did not give us enough to eat, and even abused us from time to time. That's when Under such circumstances, they tortured more than a hundred of our brothers to death."
¡°I don¡¯t know if she remembered the days on the Dutch ship, but Mrs. Wang burst into tears.
At this time, Li Xiang no longer hugged Liu Dashen and cried. He looked at Mrs. Wang.
And Liu Dashen also had an angry look on his face as Master Wang told the story.
It can be seen that what Master Wang said is true, and those Dutch people really tortured them.
Although I don¡¯t know what the torture was like at that time, I know just by imagining it that those Dutch people definitely don¡¯t treat people as human beings.
"At that time, the brothers wanted to die. I originally thought that none of us could survive. Liu Dashen was also seriously injured and dying at the time, but at this moment, we were saved"
Mrs. Wang was crying and talking, and then the topic changed.
Li Xiang¡¯s eyes flashed, he was very concerned about this issue. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
