The head of the boat said suspiciously: "Dragonhead, what do you say?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "When they left, they found out that you were tracking, how could they reveal the direction when they came back?" So they turned into the normal course halfway and wanted to confuse us! ”

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he gestured with his finger on the chart and said: "Their boats are empty boats back and forth, and they run very fast!" It seems that their old nest should be far away from the country of Dewan. ”

The ship's bow said: "There are many reasons such as estimating wind speed and direction, so the estimated distance can only be an approximate distance." But it's also far beyond the confines of our charts. It's hard to find them! ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's difficult!" But once we find this island, we have a way out! According to the fleet and number of people of the Red Eye Dragon King, it means that there is a large island overseas that we don't know at all, and it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people! That's a rarity! This also explains why he seized the island close to the shipping route. Because their ships were too far away from the route, it was inconvenient to travel back and forth. ”

The bow nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! I thought so too! ”

Zheng Zhilong thought for a long time and said, "Okay, I know!" Thank you for your hard work, go down and get the money! ”

After the head of the boat left, Zheng Zhilong went directly to Steward Li's room. After seeing Steward Li, he said, "Uncle Li, their ship is back." It's a pity that I couldn't follow their lair, so I can only estimate a rough range. ”

Steward Li said, "If the Red-eyed Dragon King could be found by you so easily, wouldn't he have been defeated by you a long time ago?" So I said at the time not to send someone to follow me, so as not to find no trace and be laughed at. ”

Zheng Zhilong secretly gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said, "Uncle Li, does Master Li have any explanation?" ”

Steward Li said: "I asked the master, and the master said that this battle cannot be dragged on any longer. If you drag it any longer, you'll be in danger! No one dares to come forward if he is alive, and if he dies, it will be very troublesome if you can't stabilize the situation! Therefore, it does not matter if you lose some face, it is the right thing to reach an armistice as soon as possible. When you sit down in a firm position in the future, you can naturally find a way to deal with the Red-Eyed Dragon King again! In addition, the master also said that as a leader, justice is very important, but strength is even more important! If you can't defeat the enemy quickly, you can't do it easily! This is a lesson! ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded depressedly and said, "I understand!" Li Ye's health is okay, right? ”

Steward Li sighed deeply and said, "It's just okay." So don't delay any longer. Make a deal with the Red-Eyed Dragon King as soon as possible! ”

Zheng Zhilong said helplessly: "I understand, I will give in!" ”

Steward Li nodded and said, "That's good!" I'll send someone to contact the messenger, and you can talk again. The sooner the better! ”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and said, "Steward Li, is Zheng Longtou there?"

Steward Li said, "Come in and talk." ”

Immediately, an angry man came in from outside the door, this person Zheng Zhilong knew, and he was a very capable boat leader under him. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Steward Li, dragon head, there is an accident at sea again!" ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Steward Li and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The man said, "Just now came the news that the island of the Great Blue Shark has been attacked by the Red-Eyed Dragon King!" Except for a small number of people who escaped, the rest of the people, including the blue shark, were all trapped on the island, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead! ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart was dripping blood when he heard the news! He knew that the blue shark was going to die this time! Liu Pei won't let him go! The Blue Shark is one of the forces he has been wooing for a long time, and is very loyal to him. His death was a big blow to Zheng Zhilong! As a faucet, he can't even protect his subordinates, how did he get the position of the faucet?

This attack on the Big Blue Shark was something Liu Pei had planned. To put it bluntly, it is to promote peace! Tell Zheng Zhilong that my Red-Eyed Dragon King still has the strength to start a war, and we can keep fighting! At the same time, it is also a warning to Zheng Zhilong's alliance! You follow Zheng Zhilong again, the big blue shark is a role model! As for the location of the big blue shark's nest, it is naturally the information collected by Liu Jiang.

Steward Li, who heard the news on the side, sighed and said, "This is the Red Eyed Dragon King's real demonstration!" But he has the capital to demonstrate! Official, let's do what we just discussed! Don't delay any longer! ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and left. Steward Li looked at Zheng Zhilong's back and shook his head, and said to himself: "Master, I don't know if the decision you made was right?" ”

Liu Dahai, who had made a scene, was waiting for the person who invited him to come to the door at the moment. He felt that Zheng Zhilong's attention should have been attracted to the open sea at this moment. Although he didn't know why Liu Pei was so confident in his judgment, it didn't prevent him from resolutely carrying out Liu Pei's plan.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Steward Li sent someone to the door and invited him to have morning tea in Hongyan Tower tomorrow morning. Liu Dahai naturally knew that this was a hint of negotiation, so he happily agreed.

Early the next morning, Liu Dahai led people to Hongyan Tower. Unlike last time, this time Zheng Zhilong and Steward Li arrived first. Liu Dahai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Steward Li." Zheng Longtou, please forgive me for being one step late! ”

Steward Li smiled and said, "It's okay, we just arrived." Come on, let's try the dim sum and make it very well. ”

After Liu Dahai sat down, he picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, and found that Hongyan Lou's dim sum was really good! So he drank tea, ate snacks, and gossiped with Steward Li.

After gossiping, Steward Li said, "You sent someone home, but what news came back?" ”

Of course, Liu Dahai knew that his every move must be monitored, after all, this was Nagasaki, and it was Li Dan's territory. So Liu Dahai was not annoyed, and said directly: "The big boss does have something to say." It's just that I'm afraid that Zheng Longtou doesn't like to hear this news! ”

Steward Li said: "Things always have to be discussed. is the so-called sky-high asking price, pay back on the spot. We'll know if you can accept it until you say it, right? ”

Liu Dahai pretended to hesitate and said, "Okay, then I'll just say it!" Our boss said that as long as Zheng Longtou returns the island that seized us to us, this matter can be stopped! If it is dirty again in the future, it will be by means! ”

Zheng Zhilong really shot the case again. The two began to quarrel incessantly again.

In fact, Liu Pei doesn't necessarily need Xindao. But he needs to confuse Zheng Zhilong and make him feel that his old nest is in the distant open sea. At the same time, he also wants to give Zheng Zhilong a target that he can keep an eye on on the bright side. And the new island is just right.

As long as Zheng Zhilong keeps an eye on Xindao and the open sea, he will not have the strength to search on land. Liu Pei was able to take the opportunity to reserve his strength and at the same time divide Zheng Zhilong's subordinates. So at this point, Liu Pei will not give an inch.

The most important point is that he did this to tell all the maritime merchants and pirates that he had competed with Zheng Longtou, and Zheng Zhilong didn't take advantage of it at all! Even though he occupied a bare new island, he obediently vomited back in the end. This is the real blow to Zheng Zhilong!

Those who covet the leading position will carefully evaluate the strength of Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong through this matter. In the case that Liu Pei did not say that he would challenge the leader, they would definitely point the finger at Zheng Zhilong. And after Li Dan dies, I am afraid that Liu Xiang is not the only one who will oppose Zheng Zhilong!

The two sides have been arguing for a long time in this negotiation, during which after many mediations by Steward Li, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Dahai finally reached an agreement. Zheng Zhilong returned the new island to Liu Pei. And Liu Pei sold it to Zheng Zhilong for 20 tiger cannons on the ship at a price of 10,000 taels of silver. This price can be said to be very low. So at this point, the two sides have reached a complete agreement. And the dead blue shark was tacitly not mentioned by both parties.

After reaching an agreement, Liu Dahai was naturally ecstatic and sent someone back to report the news. And Zheng Zhilong, who watched Liu Dahai leave, didn't mean to be annoyed, just with a faint indifference on his face, which made that handsome face even more handsome!

Steward Li was very worried when he saw Zheng Zhilong's expression! Because he knew that Zheng Zhilong's expression represented that he was angry to the extreme! He was very worried that Zheng Zhilong would make a big plot because of his petty intolerance!
