Chapter 120: Murderous Machines (Fourth Update)
Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
The atmosphere on Shuangyu Island is very tense now, and he doesn't think it's a suitable thing to have too much contact with Jitian and Shinshiro at this time. Because it is more likely to arouse the vigilance and disgust of the Franciscans.
But since Xu Dong said so, he had no choice but to do it.
After all, he was brought into this industry by Xu Dong, and there was no reason to refuse Big Brother's request.
"Go and go back quickly, be careful on the way."
Xu Dong showed a rare smile, although this smile appeared on his scarred face and looked a little weird and terrifying.
Wang Zhi was moved in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, the big boss." ”
Then he turned his head and left.
After Wang Zhi left, Xu Chaotian said with a worried face: "Father, do you really trust Wang Zhi so much?" ”
Xu Dong said with a gloomy face: "Wang Zhi is not a descendant who followed me in trouble, but a monk halfway. I trust him because he's capable... But now it seems that this is not necessarily a good thing. ”
Since ancient times, it has been a taboo thing to be high-ranking and shocking.
Although Haikou is a relatively loose interest group, it also has this problem in nature.
Although Xu's Haikou's signboard was played by Xu Dong, Wang Zhi's performance in the past few years after joining is too good, and there is a faint tendency to catch up.
Although with the prestige accumulated over the years, Xu Dong is still holding down Wang Zhi. But it's hard to say anything about the future.
Pirates are not like those nobles who believe in noble blood. They will only shout out the princes and generals, and they would rather have a kind of care.
Whoever has a hard fist will be justified, and whoever will be able to dominate the sea.
Taking a step back, even if Wang Zhi has no objection at present, what about after Xu Dong dies? Will Wang Zhi be willing to assist Xu Chaotian, who is more than 20 years younger than him?
This is a poignant question, but it's realistic.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Xu Dong knows this adopted son very well.
Xu Chaotian has the quality of a pirate, fierce and ruthless, but he is brave and unscrupulous, and he is not good at winning people's hearts.
This is fatal for a pirate leader.
In order to keep the signboard of Xu's Haikou, Xu Dong had to test Wang Zhi.
If he is loyal, it is the best, if he has a different heart... Xu Dong didn't mind tying him up and sinking into the sea to feed the fish.
"Father, Franco's suspicion of us is very sudden, there must be something wrong with this. The child suspects that there are internal ghosts among our people, and specially reports to the red-haired ghosts. ”
Xu Chaotian saw that Xu Dong was also suspicious of Wang Zhi, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He swallowed a mouthful of spit and fanned the flames beside him: "There are only a few people who can speak next to my father, and very few know important trends. In fact, it is easy to check. ”
He almost said by name that Wang Zhi was a traitor.
However, Xu Dong is not so easily instigated.
If he thought that Wang Zhi was a traitor and would have taken him down a long time ago, where would he let Wang Zhi test the Japanese people.
At least so far, Xu Dong is not sure that Wang Zhi has betrayed him.
"Let's take a look at it again. The ancestors have a saying: listen to their words and watch their deeds. I think it makes a lot of sense. ”
Xu Dong took a deep breath and said, "This is an opportunity for you. I'm old, and it's time for you to learn to deal with this kind of thing. ”
Xu Chaotian hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
"The Ming army, the Japanese people, and the Francois people, including us are not of the same mind, so it depends on how to use them to fight for their own interests."
Xu Dong sneered: "Learn more." ”

...
Jitian, Shinshiro's stronghold is located in the southern part of the East Island of Shuangyu Island, and Wang Zhi must pass through the entire core area of the East Island if he wants to go there.
After some thought, Wang Zhi ordered a few cronies to go.
You can't go too many people, otherwise it will be provocative, especially at this time.
Wang Zhi's relationship with Jitian and Shinshiro is very good, but he must also abide by the rules, otherwise he is likely to have to fight each other if his friendship is gone.
When Wang Zhi was passing through the plains, he found that there were too many ships docked in the harbor and they were crowded together, and he felt a little uneasy.
In the face of the Ming army's upcoming offensive, there is nothing wrong with shrinking the defense itself, but it is too crowded in this harbor.
In this case, if something happens...
Hiss! Wang Zhi couldn't help but gasp.
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
The spring breeze is still a little harsh, blowing and swishing on the sails.
Wang Zhi was a little dazed, sniffed and continued to walk forward.
Walked to a stone hill, but listened to the sound of a feathered arrow flying and brushing through his straight cheeks.
"Be careful!"
Wang Zhi shouted, instinctively lying on the ground to dodge.
His cronies were not so lucky, and they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows that followed!
There is an ambush!
Wang Zhi was shocked and angry.
Who is plotting against him?
Judging from the opponent's use of bows and arrows, it should be possible to rule out the Franciscan.
These Europa red-haired ghosts are most likely to use firearms.
Whether it is a firearm or an artillery, in their eyes, it is higher than the bow and arrow.
Then the rest may be nothing more than other pirates or pirates on the island.
Wang Zhi desperately recalled the enemies who had a disagreement with the Xu family, and felt that only Li Guangtou had the motive and strength to launch a surprise attack.
Li Guangtou is a native of Fujian, and compared with Xu Dong of Huizhou Mansion, he has the innate advantage of becoming a Haikou.
In fact, Li Guangtou did enter this industry earlier than Xu Dong.
In the eyes of the world, Haikou is an existence that does all kinds of evil, and he kills people and goods without blinking an eye.
But in fact, the pirates are more engaged in the smuggling business.
Due to the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy, there were very few merchant ships that could sail on the sea.
All the pirates could see were either foreign ships or companions.
Unless they are red-eyed, they will not meet each other in battle under normal circumstances.
But there was indeed a big conflict between Li Guangtou and Xu Dong.
At that time, Wang Zhi had just joined Xu Donghaikou's group and ran a business to Manila.
The business happened to clash with Lee Bald To, and the two fleets fought at sea.
Xu Dong sank two ships of Li Guangtou, and Li Guangtou also sank one of Xu Dong.
Since then, the two sides have formed a bond.
After that, the two reconciled face-to-face and redivided their spheres of influence.
Li Guangtou mainly engaged in business to and from the West. Xu Dong, on the other hand, focused his development on Hirado Island, Japan.
But once a rift has been created, it is impossible to completely heal it.
Sure enough, after Li Guangtou marched into Shuangyu, the hatred accumulated by the two sides broke out again for a while.
It's just that after all, they are all in the territory of the Franco, and it is impossible to fight, at most there are some sporadic frictions.
Wang Zhi has always maintained restraint and tried not to cause trouble to Xu Dong.
Who knew that Li Guangtou not only did not repent, but actually had murderous intentions, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to put Wang Zhi to death.
It's hateful!
