Chapter Ninety-Seven: Li Yao's Actions
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Zhilong, the captain of the fleet, is actually no longer the number one person in the fleet, and the person who can really lead the direction of the fleet is undoubtedly Yin Mole, who hides in Qiu Tian's ship all day long.
Now for Zheng Zhilong, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, now it seems that there is only one way to go, but the other party is different, they have the absolute right to speak at the dock, and they can take the initiative at any time, this is the difference between the two, the strength of the two sides can be said to be the difference between the two sides, Li Yao will sooner or later Zheng Zhilong's fleet, to be precise, it is an action against Yin Mole, this matter is nothing more than a matter of when to choose to do it, now it seems that the time is almost ripe, Li Yao has gathered his right-hand men, Ready to make a move.
Li Yao's action is to capture Yin Mole alive, the purpose is to get what happened eighteen years ago from his mouth, and it happens that the two treasure maps are on Yin Mole's body, if this operation is successful, it will kill two birds with one stone, and the risk is worth it.
Yin Mo had secretly calculated Li Yao's endurance in his heart, but he couldn't be sure, so for him, Li Yao could make a move at any time, and all he could do was be ready at any time.
Li Yao didn't think about leaving, so that he and the treasure map could disappear at the same time, but now a whole fleet is docked here, the family is big, and the monks can't run away from the temple, and when the time comes, Li Dan's forces, who are crazy, don't know what crazy things they will do.
Zheng Zhilong never asked about Yin Mole's teaching to Qiu Tian, and since then he has also set foot in Qiu Tian's warship, but today he came and came to Qiu Tian's warship alone, the purpose was not Qiu Tian, but Yin Mole's predecessors who stayed here most of the time.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Zheng Zhilong does not take the initiative to find Yin Mole, Yin Mole will not take the initiative to communicate with Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong's arrival was unexpected by Yin Mole, he didn't know why Zheng Zhilong came, when he came to his fleet, Zheng Zhilong was not polite, he sat down a little closer to Yin Mole, and then began to tell the purpose of his arrival.
Zheng Zhilong has always had a thoughtful expression, he doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart, and his expression is also very serious. "Yin Mole senior, after thinking about it, Zhilong still feels that the senior's consideration is not stable enough."
Yin Mo didn't speak, but nodded and motioned for Zheng Zhilong to continue.
Zheng Zhilong was also not polite, and continued: "I said before that Yin Mo was a senior, how should I deal with the things I am facing during Bai Sha's absence, but this matter cannot be dragged on indefinitely, and Li Yao will take action one day...... Although the seniors have the courage to do martial arts, but the two fists are hard to beat the four hands, I don't know if I am arrogant, I think Yin Yao's predecessors are not Li Yao's opponents, if Li Yao has any action, or Li Yao's goal is Yin Yao's predecessors and succeeds, we will lose all the chips, the predecessors know, Li Yao knows that the treasure map is on you, so you become the focus, and the other people in the fleet are just not so important. ”
After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Yin Mo and stopped talking, as if waiting for the other party's reply.
Yin Mo did not continue to drink, but knocked on the table rhythmically with his knuckles, and said slowly after a while: "It seems that you have a clear view of the stakes in this matter, so you came over and said these words to me, Zhilong, I can tell you clearly that I will not leave." I told you before, and I promised White Sands, that I would stay in the fleet until White Sands arrived. ”
Yin Mo has always been a person who keeps his promises, and he will definitely work hard to do what he says, as can be seen from the promise of the old fish head to accept apprentices more than ten years ago.
Zheng Zhilong continued to patiently explain: "Senior Yin Mole, you have to know one thing, if Li Yao can't help but make a move, or if you really fall into the hands of the other party, it will be devastating for the fleet, if things really develop in this direction, the senior really thinks that Li Yao will let us go, and everyone will not escape his grasp." ”
Yin Mo took over the conversation and said, "Zhilong, my safety is not within your consideration, you should be afraid of losing the two treasure maps before you repeatedly persuade me to leave." You don't have to worry, I'll hide the treasure map, but I'll stay on the ship myself so that the treasure map doesn't fall into his hands. ”
Listening to Yin Mole's words, Zheng Zhilong said: "Senior, it seems that you don't know Zheng Zhilong very well, since the predecessor is already Baisha's master, with my relationship with Baisha, I also unilaterally treat my predecessor as a master, how can I not consider the comfort of my predecessor, and besides, I persuaded my predecessor to leave, and I also left with a treasure map, how could my predecessor think that Zhilong was just afraid of the treasure map?" The treasure map is nothing more than a bane for the current Zhilong, and I can't control it. ”
Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha are like brothers and sisters, and they don't have any opinions on Yin Mole's careful teaching of Qiu Tian during this time, and he actually treats Yin Mole as a master in his heart.
A hint of apology flashed in Yin Mole's eyes, and he said: "Zhilong, I am narrow-minded, it is because I was deceived too miserably because I was so young, and I dare not easily believe in the so-called sincere feelings, I now believe that you will treat me as a master like Bai Sha, and I can trust the relationship between the two of you." But I still want to say that I will not leave, and will remain in the fleet to wait for the return of White Sands. You must know that you are not fighting alone, there is a fleet behind you to support you, and we are also standing behind you, and now we can't avoid things when we encounter them, but join hands to overcome difficulties together. ”
Zheng Zhilong, who had no result of persuasion, could only look at Qiu Tian, suggesting that Qiu Tian could say something.
Qiu Tian practiced hard all day long, and he didn't know what difficulties the fleet was facing now, so he heard the conversation between the two in a fog, but he also understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, so he said: "Senior Yin, I think the captain is right. ”
Seeing that Qiu Tian began to persuade Yin Mole's seniors, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly nodded in agreement on the side, agreeing with Qiu Tian's statement very much.
It's just that I didn't expect Qiu Tian to change his words and continue: "Captain, but I think what Yin Mole's predecessor said is right, since Yin Mole's predecessor has made a promise, he will naturally do what he says, besides, when will we abandon others from the beginning of our sea?" Isn't it that everyone has worked together to get to where it is today, step by step, and put everything in order? ”
Although Zheng Zhilong himself took the initiative to vacate the captain's position and wait for Baisha's arrival, the crew still called him the captain.
"Well said, bloody!" After hearing the statement of autumn, Yin Mole praised it greatly.
Looking at the two who sang the double reed, Zheng Zhilong knew that today's statement was completely out of play, and Zheng Zhilong, who had spent a lot of words, didn't want to explain to Qiu Tian who had a tendon, but sat on the side a little dejectedly.
Yin Mo looked at Zheng Zhilong's appearance and said: "Zhilong, I will never leave, so don't continue to persuade you, what we have to do now is to deduce the various possibilities that will happen and plan in advance, so that we can have a chance to turn the tables." ”
The reason why Zheng Zhilong came to persuade Yin Mole seniors to leave was that he did have a plan in his heart, but it took a little time, and he thought of waiting for the appearance of the man in black.
Zheng Zhilong began to want Yin Mo to confide in his thoughts, and told the story of the encounter with the man in black at the first supply point since the fleet went to sea, which was very detailed, and it took a lot of time just to talk about this matter.
Through Zheng Zhilong's narration, he learned that there was a so-called "man in black" force on the sea, as if it suddenly appeared for no reason, and this matter was really strange.
In the sea trade, close to the Ming Dynasty's coastal waters, must pay tribute to the heart of the ocean, in Luzon and Li Dan trading also has to be squeezed a lot of commissions, as for Japan, which is far away in the world, also sits on this great god, this is an unavoidable force, so it is said that trade at sea is a chore, no one can bypass these mountains. How the Man in Black managed to rise to prominence under these three forces, and it seems that not many people know.
It is extremely strange that such a force has quietly appeared on the sea. No one knows where they came from, and the origin of the men in black becomes a mystery. However, there is another explanation, that is, the man in black was established by one of the three major forces, so that it can explain why he bypassed the sudden emergence of the three major forces.
Based on what Zheng Zhilong said, Yin Mole began to deduce that at the first supply point, they encountered the man in black, and it was the last appearance of the Heart of the Ocean that scared the man in black away, and the man in black also talked to Li Dan before leaving, and so on, the man in black should have nothing to do with the Heart of the Ocean and Li Dan. Now the three major forces on the sea are the one left in Japan, but Yin Mole is very familiar with this great god of Japan, and with Yin Mole's understanding of him, he knows that the other party will not form this kind of force for no reason, because there is not much need, so that the man in black and the Japanese one should have little to do with it.
Qiu Tian had experienced encountering the man in black, but with his personality and temper, as long as no one asked him, he would not tell these things, so Yin Mole, who had been with him for a while, had just learned about it. Yin Mo was very curious about this matter in his heart, but he was just curious.
Yin Mo said to Zheng Zhilong: "I haven't seen the people in black, so I don't know much about their strength. The man in black is a variable, the fleet has been docked for so long and they have not appeared, and they will not even appear in the future, we still don't pin our hopes on the so-called men in black, because they are probably not good at stubble. ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said: "I understand what my predecessors said, and if I want to wait for the appearance of the man in black, it is nothing more than to solve the urgent need, and there is no way to do it." But I'm sure of one thing, and that's that the Man in Black will definitely appear! ”
