Lu Xinghai, the leader of the Nujiao Gang, is also like Jiang Huanyan, he is not well-known among the five countries on the mainland, but his reputation overseas is not much better than Jiang Huanyan, after all, Jiang Huanyan was taught by him.

After the last battle with Jiang Huanyan on the sea, Shi Luosheng also knew Lu Xinghai's name, and naturally longed for the master of the first person in naval warfare.

Lu Xinghai was born as a pirate, and although he was later recruited by the Qi State, he still acted under the banner of the Nujiao Gang on weekdays. This is because overseas, Qi also has a lot of piracy, and it is naturally inconvenient to do these things in the name of the country, so let Lu Xinghai use the banner of the Nujiao Gang. This time, Jiang Huanyan also planned to cooperate with Changxing Island in the name of the Nujiao Gang and jointly send troops to Naha Port.

Three days later, Shi Luosheng and the others followed Jiang Huanyan to Jiaozhou, but Jiang Huan and Chu brothers and sisters did not accompany them and stayed in Shangjing.

On the way, Jiang Huanyan asked: "Brother Shi, your majesty promoted you to your current position just to fight against the family, if you ask him to resign, will he let you go?" ”

This question is also something that Liu Zixuan has been worried about, so he also looked at Shi Luosheng nervously.

Shi Luosheng said: "I didn't make this decision on a whim, I have had this idea for a long time. When His Majesty promoted me to General Wei, I knew that I would inevitably clash with my father-in-law in the future. ”

"I joined the army with the original purpose of just to gain a reputation and make my mother live a good life. Later, it was my father-in-law who gave me the opportunity and accepted me as my son-in-law, which gradually put me on the political stage of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"At this time, His Majesty appeared, and he wanted to use me to suppress my father-in-law. If I do what His Majesty wants, what will my Father-in-law think? If I don't do what Your Majesty wants, I am afraid that I will get into trouble and end up causing trouble to my mother, which also goes against my original intention of giving her a good life. ”

"This matter has already made me very difficult, and now that I have Wan'er, I know how painful it will be to be caught in the middle, and I certainly don't want Wan'er to experience this kind of pain as well. The war between Song and Qi, like the relationship between His Majesty and the family, was inevitable. So I have no choice but to resign, and if Your Majesty doesn't agree, I can only find a way to escape. ”

Jiang Huanyan nodded with satisfaction: "You know this kind of pain of being caught in the middle and being in a dilemma, you can come to me and Huan Chu for help at any time if you encounter any difficulties in the future, but you must not involve Wan'er." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Don't worry, third brother." ”

Jiaozhou is ten days away from Beijing, and Jiang Huanyan also took the opportunity to tell the two a lot about Ryukyu and the methods of training the navy, and the two also benefited a lot.

Soon arrived in Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou Port looks similar to Beihai Port, but it is slightly different in the port wharf, most of the berths in Beihai Port are merchant ships, and Jiaozhou Port is because it is the naval base of Qi State, most of the berthing is Qi warships.

Lu Xinghai is about the same age as Jiang Wushuang, both of them are over fifty years old, because they are at sea all the year round, they look older.

At this time, Lu Xinghai was sitting on the dock fishing, wearing a black hat to cover the sun, wearing a chess piece cloth vest, and a raw cloth skirt tied around his waist.

Jiang Huanyan led the two of them forward and saluted, "Master, these two are Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan from Changxing Island. Jiang Huanyan no longer regards the two of them as courtiers of the Song Kingdom.

Lu Xinghai glanced up at the two of them slightly, and said, "Let's go, get on the boat, let's go to the sea." ”

Jiang Huanyan had long been accustomed to Lu Xinghai's style, and took Shi Luosheng and the two of them to follow Lu Xinghai on a small bamboo raft.

This is the ship that Lu Xinghai said? Do you want to row this little bamboo raft out to sea? A wave can knock it over, and the two of them are full of doubts.

Lu Xinghai picked up a penny and went to the wharf, and the bamboo raft was like an arrow off the string, quickly heading towards the sea.

The farther away from the harbor, the greater the wind and waves at sea, and the small bamboo raft floats on the sea, turning up and down, drifting with the current.

Lu Xinghai and Jiang Huanyan live at sea all year round, and this kind of scene has long been accustomed to it. Although Shi Luosheng and the others often go to sea, this kind of scene is the first time they have seen it, and their faces are a little blue.

Lu Xinghai casually threw the penny at his feet, then sat on the bamboo raft and let the bamboo raft float with the sea.

Jiang Huanyan smiled and said to the two: "Are you still used to it?" My master just likes this feeling of going with the flow, and he has to do it several times a month. ”

Shi Luosheng smiled reluctantly: "I used to think that I didn't get seasick, but I just haven't seen big winds and waves." ”

Lu Xinghai laughed: "The two little brothers are young, but their internal strength is so extraordinary, it seems that the master is not simple." Changxing Island is located at the junction of Yan and Song, but whether it is the Heavenly Sword Gate of the Song Kingdom or the Ghost Shadow Gate of the Yan Kingdom, they are not good at internal strength, can your master tell the old man? ”

Shi Luosheng didn't need to hide it now, anyway, Shen Nanxing already knew that Zu Qingzhi and Hua Haoxuan had reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and now was the time to restart the name of the Tianluo Sect. So he said: "Both of us are from a newly established sect called Tianluo Sect, and our predecessors may not have heard of this sect. ”

"Tianluo Sect?" Lu Xinghai shook his head, he really hadn't heard of this sect, and it didn't seem like a lie to see Shi Luosheng's expression, maybe it was really like what people said was a new sect that had just been established.

Lu Xinghai laughed, hiding the embarrassment he hadn't heard, and said, "Huan Yan said that you want to take Naha Port as a base, how many warships do you have now?" ”

Shi Luosheng replied truthfully: "There are currently thirty warships on Changxing Island, but when the actual troops are dispatched, they should be able to send fifty. Shi Luosheng thought that when it was time to go to war, it should not be a big problem to borrow twenty warships from Huang Songsheng's Xiachuan Island.

Lu Xinghai pondered: "Even if there are fifty warships, the strength is less than half of Naha's, and it is not easy to take it with this amount of troops." ”

Jiang Huanyan hurriedly said: "Master, the apprentice will bring fifty warships to support them in the name of the Nujiao Gang, so that the strength of the two sides will be equal." ”

Lu Xinghai still shook his head and said: "The strength is still second, there are two people in Naha Port who are extremely difficult to deal with, these two people are one literary and one martial, the literary one is called Takenaka Shigeji, and the martial one is called Xingjiu Shiraki." Your soldiers are pressing the border, and if you have to fight them hard, you may not be able to take advantage of them in the end. ”

Shi Luosheng asked, "Then does Gang Leader Lu have any good plans?" ”

Lu Xinghai thought for a while and said: "This line of Jiu Shiragi is easy to deal with, but Takenaka Shigeji is not simple, he has read military books since he was a child, and Kuroda Takataka of the Wa Kingdom is called a genius double, we must not let him appear on the battlefield before the war, otherwise even if we can capture Naha, we will suffer heavy losses in the end." ”
