Xiao Sheng took his group to Songjiangkou, first went to meet the governor of the Jiangnan Navy Division with gifts, and then went to several villages along the coast to inquire about the news.

After five days of inquiry, the news I got was that the leader of the fleet was indeed Li Xiaofei, but he neither landed nor let Liang Guo's ships go to sea, of course, all the people he took away were also alive and well, but they would not let go.

After synthesizing everyone's news, Xiao Sheng decided to take someone to see Li Xiaofei.

"Son, you have to think clearly, they will leave you behind, if you can't come back then, what will happen to these many industries and businesses? Let's go! ”

"Yes, Prince, let's go, we always have a way to get the news out, let's bring a few small celadon bottles, even if we write blood books, we can stuff them into the bottles and plug them with burlap and wood, and throw them into the sea and float back!"

"No, we just go out and jump into the sea, and we have to swim back to report to the son!"

"No, no, no, let's bring carrier pigeons, eighteen carrier pigeons, there will always be one that can fly back!"

Xiao Sheng laughed, "Don't don't, forget what I said?" Your lives are the most important thing, so let's go together this time. By the way, as you said yourself, those who were taken captive got on the ship and did not want to come back! I'm afraid it's the same when we go! ”

"Many fishermen say they see their brothers and uncles on the boat, but they just refuse to get off the boat, it seems that there must be something strange on board!"

"Maybe it's been poured into ecstasy soup!"

"What's so strange about this, eighty percent of them were held with knives behind their backs, and they had to say that they didn't want to come back!"

"I think there's a lack of people on board! So leave them behind! ”

Xiao Sheng looked at everyone for a while, "No matter what the reason is, at least the other party is not a demon who kills people without blinking, but also a normal person." Normal people, we have a way to communicate, we can be reasonable, we can talk about business! You can buy it too! ”

"Childe, I don't know when we will leave?"

"Tomorrow daytime, the fanfare passes! Let them know what we do! ”

Everyone looked at each other, the thirteen warships sent by the Jiangnan Navy Division approached Li Xiaofei's fleet late at night were all wiped out, Xiao Sheng took these eighteen people and passed over in broad daylight, is it too bold.

Xiao Sheng picked up an arrow, "Everyone, have you found it, those who have been taken away from their homes are not only not sad, but occasionally have a smug look on their faces. Moreover, since the Jiangnan Navy Division was captured thirteen warships, no one has ever gone to sea to meet Li Xiaofei's fleet! ”

"Do you think it's not that simple? Could it be that there is a suspicion that someone else is playing tricks? ”

"Yes, I also think this thing is weird, the pillar of the family has been arrested, but the family is not in a hurry!"

"Therefore, we can only pass by with great fanfare during the day, if we pass at night, I am afraid that Li Xiaofei's fleet will be killed before we can find it!"

As Xiao Sheng expected, eighteen people bought a fishing boat and went to sea, and when the boat sailed out for dozens of miles, someone intercepted it.

"Are you going to join the enemy? Hurry back! Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”

Two warships blocked Xiao Sheng's way, and everyone was very panicked, Xiao Sheng shouted at the bow of the ship, "I am the envoy sent by Prime Minister Xiao Xian!" Are you mistaken? ”

"You dare to pretend to be the prime minister's envoy, come here, take it!"

As he spoke, the soldiers on the warship began to drop the hook and pull Xiao Sheng's fishing boat, and when they were about to be arrested, a seafood shop owner named Tie Laosi among the eighteen people came out and shouted, "Captain Jia!" It's me, Lao Tie! You don't recognize me? This is not only Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's special envoy, but also Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's son, please also ask Captain Jia to investigate! ”

After Tie Lao Si finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them over.

"It's really you, Tie Laosi

, don't talk nonsense, it's just that you want to buy some seafood, come on, you go over, remember to give the brothers wine money! ”

Captain Jia waved the command flag in his hand, and the hook was immediately unloaded, the two warships got out of the way, and Xiao Sheng and they continued to go to sea.

After walking dozens of miles further, everyone was stunned, only to see hundreds of fishing boats fishing in front, and some cargo ships were heading towards the mouth of the Songjiang River.

After asking some people, I knew that the Jiangnan Navy Division and the Songjiang Mansion took advantage of Li Xiaofei's capture of the warship to make a big fuss and blockade the Songjiang Estuary estuary, resulting in a sharp rise in sea goods. However, anyone who secretly came out to fish and transport goods at night was basically arrested and taken to a cell by the Jiangnan sailors.

Xiao Sheng and the others also pretended to be fishermen and continued to move forward.

After walking for about two days and one night, I finally met Li Xiaofei's fleet on the edge of an island, and hundreds of large ships with different styles from the Central Plains were scattered and stopped on the edge of the island. The people on the boat were all dark and fair-skinned, and there were many people from the Central Plains.

On the side of the big ship, there were also some cargo ships from the Central Plains that were loading, and Xiao Sheng and his party were naturally invited to the island by the people in the fleet.

There are dozens of makeshift houses made of rocks and trees on the island, and Li Xiaofei is in the tallest one.

Xiao Sheng told the person who led the way that he came here to see Li Xiaofei.

The man who led the way laughed, "That's what everyone who came to the island said, and in the end they loaded a shipload of goods and left!" Since you're here, I'll take you to meet Master Li! ”

Xiao Sheng got his wish and saw Li Xiaofei, a black and short fat man, with a shaved beard, just like a eunuch in the palace.

"This Xiao Gongzi, what kind of goods do you want to go back to this time?"

Li Xiaofei asked Xiao Sheng directly what goods he wanted, and Xiao Sheng reflexively replied, "Glassware, plate armor, seafood!" ”

"Hahaha, refreshing, you are the first to ask for goods directly without being polite, I like it!"

Xiao Sheng reacted at this time, "Master Li, it's rude, I'm Xiao Sheng, Xiao Xian's son, and I'm here to see you!" ”

"Since you're not here to do business, grab it! Tied up! ”

Immediately, two swarthy samurai came to tie up Xiao Sheng.

"Master Li, I'm Xiao Sheng, the emperor has invited your wife Wang Ruoyun and son Zhanfei to the capital!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "Let him go!" Let me hear if he made up the story this time! ”

Xiao Sheng told everything he knew, and Li Xiaofei shook his head after hearing it, "Forget it, I'll still sell the goods here and go to the Yinhan Empire!" ”

"Master Li, if you stay at sea and don't see Your Majesty, then this misunderstanding will never be eliminated, you know, no matter how much Your Majesty and I talk about when I go back, Your Majesty won't believe it, unless you go ashore yourself!"

"Xiao Gongzi, Li has suffered too much in his life, and now I really don't dare to have the courage to go ashore! I still have thousands of lives behind me! ”

"But isn't Lord Li staying at the mouth of the Songjiang River just so that he can take these people ashore? Now the opportunity has come, it just depends on how Master Li chooses. Actually, you can put forward conditions to the emperor,"

"I have dealt with the emperor for many years, Xiao Gongzi, you don't know the emperor, I know too many secrets of the emperor, and I can't sleep and eat for a day when I am in one day."

Xiao Sheng looked at Li Xiaofei's face that had experienced vicissitudes of life and bit his lip, "Since that's the case, it really looks like it's incomprehensible." Only the dead are the most reassuring! ”

Black Pearl, All Color, Old Conch, Shark Liu San, Old John, Sancho, Antonio, Pa

Artis and Varna immediately surrounded them

"Li Xiaofei can't die! Whoever wants to kill him will kill me first! ”

"It's a big deal, let's go back to the Yinhan Empire to retire, no one can touch Li Xiaofei anyway!"

"Xiao Gongzi, Li Xiaofei can't die, this is our only condition!"

"If Liang Guo dares to move Li Xiaofei, we will loot all the coastal cities of Liang Guo!"

Li Xiaofei hurriedly dissuaded everyone, "Don't get excited, aren't I here with a good end?" I don't want to go, everyone is a person who has seen the world, don't be so out of shape! ”

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but take a few steps back in the face of the questioning of these nine people, "You misunderstood, I'm just talking to Lord Li, and I won't hurt Lord Li!" ”

Li Xiaofei also raised Xiao Sheng's right hand, "You can take a look, this Xiao Gongzi is a weak scholar, even if he wants to kill me, he has no chance!" Everyone, think about it! ”

Black Pearl looked at Xiao Sheng, "You have to get out of here tomorrow!" You can't stay here any longer! ”

Xiao Sheng laughed, "Xiao will leave tonight, and I really don't dare to stay for a long time!" ”

All of them walked over and took Xiao Sheng's left hand and looked at it, "I believe him, he is not a person who can kill people, he has no martial arts, and he is alone, and he has no smell of medicine on his hands, and he will not be poisoned!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng suddenly had an idea: "Everyone, please avoid it, I have something to say to Master Li alone!" ”

Everyone continued to gather around the room and did not want to leave, Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "Black Pearl stays, everyone else leaves!" ”

Xiao Sheng looked at the black pearl, "In this way, you tie my hands and feet, I can only talk to Master Li about this matter alone!" ”

Everyone gathered around Xiao Sheng, turned around a few times, and then tied Xiao Sheng up neatly.

"You are too tightly tied, and my skin is worn out, alas!"

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "I'm sorry, Xiao Gongzi, my brothers have no malice, let's step back first!" ”

Payatis made sure that there was no flaw in the rope tie and went out with the others.

When everyone went out, Li Xiaofei closed the hatch, drew his sword and split the rope, "I've been wronged, Xiao Gongzi, tell me what you think,"

Xiao Sheng didn't reply, but went to get the pen and parchment paper next to Li Xiaofei's bed.

Li Xiaofei immediately understood, because Varna's hearing was too strong, even if Xiao Sheng whispered that he would hear it.

Xiao Sheng began to write and said, "Lord Li may wish to put up a letter and ask the emperor to give these thousands of people officials, as for Lord Li, he will stay in the capital as an official, so that everyone will also have a belonging, Lord Li lives under the emperor's surveillance, and the emperor will rest assured!" I will take this statement back and give it to the emperor, and if the emperor agrees, Master Li can return to Daliang. If the emperor does not agree, there will also be the emperor's conditions, so that Lord Li also knows what to do next? ”

"I'm still worried that I won't have to die well after I go back, if Xiao Gongzi is willing to help, I am willing to send a few powerful subordinates to take my wife and children out!"

"Master Li can't, not to mention that Jin Liangwei is all over the world, if you want to rob a mother and son in the capital, I'm afraid it's more difficult than ascending to the sky. Even if the adults succeed, then the misunderstanding between you and the emperor will never be resolved, and you will always be a traitor to Daliang. The thousands of Liang people in your fleet will never be able to return home! ”

Li Xiaofei sighed, "It seems that you can only do what you say, write a statement for you to take back first, and then wait for the emperor's will." ”

"By the way, Lord Li, do you want me to go back with only the epigraph, and not even give gifts to the emperor?"

"This is easy to do, all the Western objects on my ship are loaded on Xiao Gongzi, and you take them all!"
