"I came up with an idea."

Xia Xun said slowly: "However, this requires the cooperation of you and Master Xu." ”

Su Ying said coldly: "That Guogong doesn't agree, can you, a petty official who runs errands, call the shots?" ”

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Why be arrogant, sometimes, little people can make history." ”

Su Ying glanced at him: "Tell me about it." ”

Xia Xun said: "If you want to open the sea for trade, it is to play the piano to the cow, don't even think about it, I can only promise you now, try to protect your Shuangyu Island, defeat the Chumi Gang, and even bring down Chen Zuyi, which is also of great benefit to you, you just need to push the boat down the river and complete the imperial court, but also with the help of the military power of the imperial court, there is no loss, why not?" ”

After speaking, he explained in detail the strategy he had just thought of, Su Ying groaned, stood up, and paced slowly in the room, his eyes fluttering, and he was very considerate.

Suddenly, her figure turned, like a female leopard, and she pounced on Xia Xun, her elbow bent, and a sharp short dagger that she had held in her hand at some point came out.

With a bend of his elbow, he knocked the caught off guard Xia Xun on the couch, and pounced on him to hold him tightly, the blade of the short dagger was under his throat, and he said viciously: "Bastard, do you want to deceive the old lady's Shuangyu Island?" ”

Xia Xun was startled and quickly calmed down, and he didn't resist, but said coldly: "Shuangyu Island? Is there something I'm looking for on Shuangyu Island? ”

His eyes were slightly downcast, staring at the two heavy and soft lumps that touched his chest, and said with a smile: "If it is the treasure island on the chest of the three masters, I may be a little interested." ”

"Poof!"

was hit hard in the crotch, and was hit hard by Su Ying, who was as fierce as a leopard, with his knee, Xia Xun's body stiffened, and the whole person curled up on the couch, unable to even breathe.

"You are not cowardly, you dare to tease the old lady, you are a scorpion, the only one!"

Su Ying's wrist trembled, and the short dagger in her hand flipped in the air with a flash of light, and landed in her hand again and accurately, against the back of Xia Xun's head: "Put some blood on you, see if you dare to take advantage of the old lady." ”

Xia Xun groaned in pain: "You...... Is it a pig's brain? If...... I have ill intentions towards you, do you think I'll come back alone? When I came back, it was long ...... Brought a large number of officers and soldiers. ”

Su Ying pursed her lips and said proudly: "You are stupid for me?" It's really a person who comes with you, silly, waiting here, right? Hmph, before your people entered the alley, I knew you were back, and if you really brought troops, even my shadow would never be seen. ”

Xia Xun gasped, slowly relaxed his body, and said, "Okay, even if this doesn't prove my sincerity, at least it can prove that I have no malicious intent, right?" ”

Su Ying said: "You are an official's belly, who knows what the hell you are doing, maybe you are casting a long line to catch a big fish, just to defraud my Shuangyu Island?" ”

Xia Xun said helplessly: "Then we can't talk about it, you go back to your Shuangyu Island, on the one hand to deal with Chen Zuyi and Chumi thieves, on the other hand to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court sailors, Cao Guogong to suppress the bandits or not, it's my business, I am a small Jinyi Wei General Banner, just obey the order, not in his position, not in his government, who am I idle?" Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want......"

Su Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Get up, don't pretend to be dead!" ”

Xia Xun said trickily: "If you want to kill you, what else should you do?" ”

Su Ying bit her lip, reversed the handle of the knife, smashed it on his waist and eyes angrily, and shouted: "Get up when you are told to get up, what is so much nonsense?" ”

Xia Xun groaned in pain, knowing that this female pirate was not serious, so he had to sit up.

Su Ying retracted the dagger, glanced at him and said, "With Shuangyu Island as bait, I can't be the master of this." ”

Xia Xun spread his hands and said, "I just told you about my plan, did I say that I want you to agree?" You arrange for me to go to see Xu Da Master, and I'll tell him. ”

Su Ying paced again in the room, and after a while, she suddenly stood still, stared at a pair of apricot eyes, and said viciously to Xia Xun: "You remember, if you lie to me, I will definitely rip out your heart with my own hands and make you into dried human food!" ”

Under Su Ying's arrangement, Xia Xun hid in a cargo ship and came to Shuangyu Island again, which was still the cave under the Turtle's Back Cliff, and met Xu Hu again.

Xu Hu listened to Xia Xun carefully explain the ins and outs of the future, and said suspiciously: "Li Jinglong does not accept our conditions, I have already thought of this, let you try, there is only half a chance, what I didn't expect is that it is okay not to agree to our conditions, it is obviously a thing that is also beneficial to him, if I don't accept Zhao'an, he will not even join forces to deal with the Chumi Gang and Chen Zuyi, it is too stupid." ”

Xia Xun said: "That's not necessarily, standing in your position as the master, of course, it is your vital interests that are considered, and standing in the position of Cao Guogong, he also has his considerations." promised to cooperate, so where did he have face? As an official, there is always the decency to be an official, besides, if you don't give it a try, how can Cao Guogong know that he can't deal with the bandits in the East China Sea? ”

Xu Hu smiled: "But you seem to have decided that he can't kill us?" ”

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "This is false, I don't think he can't deal with you, but he can't exterminate the pirates, even if he can kill you, the Chumi Gang and even Chen Zuyi, it won't take a few years for other pirate gangs to re-emerge on the sea, and what they do is even a hundred times worse than you, why bother?" ”

Xu Hu frowned and said: "Yang Zongqi, according to your plan, you don't have an inch of merit in it, all the credit belongs to him Li Jinglong, on our side, you can't get any benefits, why do you do this?" ”

Xia Xun said: "The East China Sea suppressed Kou, it was Cao Guogong who received the order, and any credit was made by him Cao Guogong, no matter how good my performance was, if I wanted to let the above know, it was all in his Cao Guogong's pen, if he didn't want to write, I still didn't make an inch, did I go over him to the emperor to take credit?" This is a taboo in officialdom, I believe that even on your Shuangyu Island, no small boss is stupid enough to cross the second and third bosses and ask you for credit, right? ”

Xu Hu stared at him intently, and said slowly: "You haven't told me yet, since that's the case, why do you still do this?" Li Jinglong didn't agree, you can stay in his line, keep to yourself, and there is no risk, why do you have to show up and take such a risk? ”

Xia Xun said: "It's still for merit!" ”

Xu Hu said suspiciously: "How can you say this?" ”

Xia Xun said: "Cornered your Shuangyu Island and forced to join Chen Zuyi's gang of thieves who are robbing everywhere, is that a merit or a fault?" One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and if you keep Shuangyu Island, which is still a thief, you can curb the rise of the East China Sea Liukou; With the help of your strength, the Chumi Gang, which has done all kinds of evil, will benefit millions of people in several coastal provinces, isn't it a merit? The husband has made meritorious deeds in the world, and he must be praised and encouraged by the imperial court before he can be called a meritorious service? I, Yang, do things but want to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, why care so much? ”

"Good!"

Su Ying high-fived and praised, Xu Hu glanced at her, Su Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she said curtly: "I'm ...... I think he seems to have some truth in what he said. ”

Xu Hu coughed and said: "Yang Zongqi's words are indeed righteous and touching, but ...... If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. You're an official, and I find it hard to believe that you're doing so selflessly. ”

Xia Xun smiled and said, "But you can't deny my plan, it's beneficial to you." ”

Xu Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "How could it not be?" You want me to use Shuangyu as bait, once this place is lost, my foundation will be gone, who knows if you will pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, and even clean up with us? ”

Xia Xun said: "The East China Sea is vast, there are countless islands, there are islands with sea theft, not only Shuangyu, if you want to say that you have lost Shuangyu, Xu Da is like a rootless Ping, you can only wander all over the world, I am afraid that Xu Da is the master of you, you don't believe it." The reason why Shuangyu is important is only because it is the only way for the Japanese Gongkou to pass through, and it is the key point of the north, south, east and west routes, and it is a natural danger ...... the ocean."

Xu Hu said: "Since you know, you should know how important it is to the survival of our gang!" ”

Xia Xun said: "Master Xu, if I don't persuade you to take the initiative to give up, then you and the Chumi Gang, Chen Zuyi and the imperial army are enemies on three sides, will you definitely be able to defend Shuangyu?" Or, take refuge in Chen Zuyi, in that case, you still don't want to give up Shuangyu, do you think Chen Zuyi will not take this piece of fat into his own hands? My plan, first of all, is to be able to eradicate the Chumi Gang, so who else is your opponent in the East China Sea? If you can dominate the East China Sea, even if you lose Shuangyu, what is the problem of survival? This is one of them.

Chen Zuyi's foundation is in the South Seas, even if we can't kill him, we can make him lose his troops and lose his vitality, at least for a few years, it will be difficult to make it difficult for you to be in charge, and at that time you will dominate the East China Sea, and you can't compete with him as the king of the South China Sea? Chen Zuyi's threat can be solved from this, and this is the second.

Three, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court listed Shuangyu as an expellation and abandonment due to inconvenient sea and land transportation and supply difficulties, and all the islanders moved inward, and now the situation has not changed, do you think the imperial court will send heavy troops here? If the plan is thorough, the imperial court sailors are eager to chase down the Nanyang thief Chen Zuyi, who is now being rewarded with a reward of 500,000 yuan, and Shuangyu is unguarded at all, and you can take it back smoothly; Taking a step back, even if the plan changes, the East China Sea is your sole hegemony, Chen Zuyi can no longer easily go north, posing a threat to you, is this reward worth it for you to take the initiative to give up a piece of Shuangyu Island, which you can't hold in the first place, and you have to give it to one side? ”

Xu Hu was silent for a long time, and laughed: "I can't fit the child and can't catch the wolf, it's up to you!" ”

Xia Xun praised: "The big boss made a decision, and the real person is also a master." ”

Xu Hu said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, I saw Yang Zongqi today, I learned that not all of the officials in the government are greedy for profit, and they only care about their own climbing, if there are more officials like you who put the people first, I Xu Hu, the big boss, will not be able to do it, and I will simply break up, hahaha......"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Xu Hu suddenly said: "When my people are doing internal response, I also invite Yang Zongqi to go with me, before I recapture Shuangyu Island, everything there will be entrusted to you!" ”

Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was to take him hostage, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and replied briskly: "Yes, everything is according to the orders of the big boss." ”

Xu Hu grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, laughing heartily.
