(Chapter 2)

Just as Li Luo led his army to approach Han Gong's island, Han Gong was "inspecting" the mines and iron-making workshops with great interest.

Watching one or two thousand people do their own hard work under the scorching heat, Lord Han Dadao was very happy. In particular, when he saw the red molten iron in the iron-making furnace flowing out and turning into iron, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

When I saw the iron piled up on a hill nearby, my heart was even more beautiful.

It's almost there.

After two more days, you will be able to transport the iron to Chikushishima (Kyushu) in Japan. The four armies of Dazaifu and the royal families of each guardian country are looking forward to their own iron. These are all silver and gold and grain.

Every month or so, Han Gong has to transport the train to Japan.

Of course, Japan produces iron, and there are quite a few of them. It is said that Han Gong's iron will not be particularly popular. However, the nine guardian kingdoms on Chikushi Island, including the prosperous western capital Dazaifu, could not find a cheaper iron than Han Gong's family.

That's right, the iron of the lord of Han Island is his mother's cheapness.

Cheap...... Three or four percent!

Why do you think his iron is so cheap? Isn't this a wide speech? The owner of Han Dadao is doing business, his absenteeism is the hardest, he sleeps the least, eats the worst, and when he dies of exhaustion, he uses the belly of the fish as a grave, and the funeral expenses are saved.

Isn't it cheap?

Therefore, Han Gong is now in Kyushu, and he is quite popular with the royal families such as the guardians, landowners, and samurai, especially winning the favor of many poor samurai.

However, even if the iron of Lord Han Dadao is cheap enough, he can still earn 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver every month, and he has accumulated 200,000 taels of silver after opening this iron mine for only one year, which is enough to do a big job.

Han Gong's plan was to leave the island when the iron ore mine was exhausted. Then use the accumulated money to recruit troops to build ships, annex sea bandits, become a real sea hegemon, and even occupy a large island to claim the king system.

The group of pirate leaders who followed Han Gong to inspect also showed joy on their faces. It seems that I'm going to Japan to build Purple Island soon, and those coquettish women who are in the streets and alleys of Dazaifu are showing off their branches and speaking the soft words of Toei, but they haven't been seen for a while.

"Owner, several miners have died today, and two hundred have died this month. If you die like this, it will affect the production of iron. The head of the mine supervisor reported to Han Gong.

Han Gong looked at the miners who had hatred hidden in their eyes, and smiled indifferently, "This mine will be exhausted in less than half a year." Why do you need so much mining work? Even if you don't die of exhaustion, you will kill them all. ”

A pirate leader said, "Lord, when the iron ore runs out, do you want to recruit the remaining miners into the team?" They are all strong, and it is a pity to kill them. ”

Han Gong shook his head: "Don't look at them being honest now, they were forced." In their hearts, they already hate us to the core, and regard us as enemies. How can I be a brother? Recruit them into the ranks to give them a chance to take revenge. ”

The leader was obviously Han Gong's confidant, and he said respectfully: "What the island owner said is reasonable, but the villain wants to be simple." ”

"Lu Quan, you remember that once you have a rivalry, the best way to resolve the hatred is to let this rival die. The so-called settlement of grievances rather than settlement means that the grievances should be resolved. Han Gong explained very seriously, "Of course, this is what we mean." ”

Lu Quan felt and said: "What the island owner means is the truth. ”

Other pirates also patted their ass, which made the lord of Han Dadao quite useful.

"Han Shao, my son." Han Gong suddenly looked at a handsome young man, his own righteous son, Han Shao.

Han Shao stubbornly walked up, "What's the matter with my father's call?" ”

"Tonight, you take a small boat and go out to sea with Lu Quan to patrol. In two days, the goods will be shipped to Japan, so don't be careless. Han Gong said with a twist of his beard.

Han Shao said: "Yes, father." Of course, he knew that this father-in-law was finally going to do it to himself in order to pave the way for his own son.

Han Gong nodded: "Don't be perfunctory in patrolling, I can't be careless." As he said this, he found that one of his beards had been twisted off, and he loosened his fingers to abandon the beard that had left him.

But a sea breeze blew, and the beard was blown higher and higher, straight to the sea, and I didn't know where to go. It wasn't until Han Gong's eyes could no longer search for his beard that he withdrew his gaze as if he had lost something.

Lu Quan quietly glanced at the island owner and the young island owner, thinking that the island owner was finally going to make a move.

Lu Quan is not only Han Gong's henchman, but also Han Gong's old house slave, so he is very loyal to Han Gong. When Han Gong was still the son of Han Yuhou's family, Lu Quan was his little servant.

The island owner's instructions are very clear, when he goes out to sea with the young island owner to patrol at night, kill the young island owner Han Shao and throw his body into the sea.

Since the owner's parents and children were born a few months ago, the owner of the island decided to kill his son Han Shao so as not to raise tigers. Originally, with the prestige of the island owner, he could directly order Han Shao's execution.

But in that case, it will inevitably lose people's hearts. Moreover, Han Shao has been the young master for two years, and he has attracted a lot of heartfelt subordinates. Killing him directly could cause an accident.

The order to kill Han Shao was a secret, and no third party knew about it except for the island owner, his wife, and himself who was responsible for the execution. Therefore, Han Shao must be unlucky. It's a pity that Han Shao is young and can be regarded as a talent.

What is ridiculous is that Lu Quan never imagined that the order to assassinate Han Shao had already been reported to Han Shao.

Then, most of the people who will not be lucky tonight are himself.

…………

In the early morning of July 1. Two great ships are like two ghost ships, sailing in this untouched maritime wasteland.

The stars are splendid, and the sea is vast, which makes people feel incomparably small.

"I really envy the protagonists in the novel, who take the starry sky and the sea as their journey." Li Luo stood at the bow of the boat, and suddenly felt very moved.

What is everything you do?

Freedom, Power, Wealth...... World? Changing history? Leave a name?

What makes his ambition burn, what makes him so obsessively involved?

Li Luo thought about it for a long time, and he finally figured it out.

Then, he couldn't help but curse himself.

Your mother's!

I can't say it.

What prompted him to get to where he is today is not freedom, power, or even the world. But...... Game! When he discovered the most original driving force in his heart, he discovered this reason that he couldn't bear to look at directly.

It turned out that it was not pathos, nor ambition, it turned out to be this.

It's like a new game with a lot of difficulty, a lot of fun, and a huge reward, put it in front of a person who has been sentenced to life in prison.

Do you think he or she wants to play?

It's that simple.

He's just a guy who plays playthrough games, and he's also a team game. Teammates are ...... Cui Xiuning!

Did Cui Xiuning figure this out? Li Luo didn't dare to conclude. He didn't even know how many levels the game would reach.

But obviously, tonight is a hurdle. Once cleared, not only will you level up smoothly, but you will also have a gift package to receive. Once defeated, the loss of equipment and blood loss are light.

"Order, sail!" Li Luo ordered that before the third watch, it must be within twenty miles. ”

Li Luo returned to the cabin and studied a nautical chart with Zheng He, Liu Tuo and others to determine the approximate current location.

Now the sea is not visible, but the outline of the island can be seen. But it will be difficult for pirates to find ships approaching on the island.

"It took two hours to find the detailed location of this island. The island must be discovered before the hour. ”

"Before the end of the day, launch a landing operation!"

…………

"Lu Quan, what time is it at this time?"

On a small warship, Han Shao asked Lu Quan.

Lu Quan looked at the inky blue sea, then looked at the stars in the sky, then squinted at Han Shao, and said dryly: "We are the sea that came out at three o'clock, and at this time, ...... It's almost a moment! ”

Han Shao's skin is relatively fair, so he looks a little eye-catching in the dim boat.

Now, just punch him in the nose and throw it into the sea, and you'll be fine. The other people on the ship are all his subordinates, and if they are calculating or not, Han Shao will definitely die.

"Huh? Is it a ship on the west side? ”

Han Shao suddenly looked to the west, "It seems to be a real ship!" ”

What the?

Lu Quan couldn't help but look west, is there really a boat? He is older than Han Shao, and his eyesight is not as good as Han Shao.

But before he could see if there was a boat, he felt a pain in his back, and then he saw the tip of a knife peeking through his chest.

"Ahh

Lu Quan only had time to let out a scream before he was kicked into the sea by Han Shao.

At the same time, Han Shao's voice came: "A fool also wants to kill me, go die!" ”

Lu Quan's eyes widened, and his consciousness sank into the dark sea like his body.

He's not reconciled. With his skills, if he fights alone, Han Shao is definitely not his opponent.

Hate it......

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. Han Shao stabbed Lu Quan to death, picked up Lu Quan's sword without looking, and held two knives to meet the other three people who were rushing over.

Lu Quan, who had the strongest force, was attacked and killed by him, and Han Shao was no longer afraid of these three people.

A sword flew out of Han Shao's hand and shot at the person in front like lightning. The man didn't expect Han Shao to throw his weapon, and he was immediately shot in the chest with a knife.

The man screamed, startling the other two. Han Shao pounced on the knife without saying a word, fierce as a tiger, swift as an eagle, the long knife slashed out like the wind, and after just one knife, a head flew up.

The other person made a "ahh

"Young island master, sent by Lu Quan, don't dare not come, I really don't do villain things......"

Han Shao smiled coldly and stepped forward with a long knife with blood, "Yes, hehe." ”

The man was also alert, he noticed that Han Shao had no intention of sparing his life, and suddenly even someone rushed up with a knife and stabbed Han Shao with a knife.

But where is he Han Shao's opponent?

Han Shao's long knife was extremely skillful, and he defused the opponent's stabbing attack, flew up and kicked, and then slashed horizontally.

Another great head flew up.

Han Shao killed a few people in three strikes and five divided by two, and then returned to the island in a patrol boat.

His plan will unfold tonight. What will happen after tonight?
