Shi Luosheng lowered his head and pondered: "I have a way, we have a lot of masters in the Tianluo Sect, you can first send a few people to Naha Port to lurk for a period of time, day and night to monitor Takenaka Shigeji, with a mental calculation or not, there is always a chance to capture him alive." Even if you can't capture him alive, you have to assassinate him. ”

Lu Xinghai was born as a pirate, and this kind of assassination and kidnapping was also accustomed to it in his opinion, so he said disapprovingly: "If you can solve the problem of Takenaka Shigeji, then the chance of taking Naha will be greatly increased, when do you plan to send troops?" ”

Shi Luosheng thought about it in his heart: "Within half a year, the specific time is not legal now, it depends on how long it will take to solve the heavy rule of Takenaka." If you don't find a chance in the past six months, you'll have to find another way. ”

Lu Xinghai nodded: "Okay, then the two of us will seize the time to prepare for the war in the past six months, and in addition, our Nujiao Gang will also send a helmsman to go to Naha with you, although this person's martial arts are not outstanding, but he is proficient in the Japanese language, Naha has also been there a few times, and having him with him can also save you a lot of trouble." ”

Shi Luosheng was overjoyed: "It's great that my predecessors are willing to send someone to help, and I'm worried about this matter." ”

After speaking, Lu Xinghai grabbed the penny in his hand, stood up and said, "It's almost, let's go back." ”

Lu Xinghai deserved to have grown up on the sea, and in this stormy sea, he rowed this small bamboo raft back to the dock with only a thin penny. Just this work of operating the ship made Shi Luosheng and the others admire.

Back on the shore, Lu Xinghai left without saying hello, leaving Jiang Huanyan and the two of them to visit the naval base of Qi again, Jiang Huanyan also deliberately pulled out the naval army and performed a show for the two to watch.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Huanyan took a helmsman of the Nujiao Gang to send Shi Luosheng and the two to the dock, and said, "Brother Shi, this is Chen Zhengquan and Chen Helmsman, he will send you back to Changxing Island and follow you to Naha." I will have been in Jiaozhou for half a year, and when you have dealt with the matter of Takenaka Shigeji, you will send someone here to find me, and I will cooperate with you to send troops. ”

Shi Luosheng arched his hand: "Thank you, third brother, there is also Lao Chen Helmsman, you will have to work hard to stay overseas for the next half a year." ”

Chen Zhengquan said with a smile: "General Shi is polite, we beg for a living at sea, and it is common for us to not dock for a year and a half, and it is not hard to stay in Naha for half a year." ”

After drifting on the sea for another twenty days, the three of them finally returned to Changxing Island, Shi Luosheng first asked people to arrange for Chen Zhengquan to rest, and then summoned Shi Pre, Ling Zhen, Zu Qingzhi and Hua Haoxuan and others together.

Shi Luosheng told everyone about his trip to Beijing this time, and told everyone about his intention to resign and expand overseas forces.

After hearing this, everyone had no opinion, Hua Haoxuan stood up and said: "Now the sea area in this area is very safe, and the merchant ships of Changxing Island are also transported to Penglai one after another. Leave the task of going to Naha to me this time, Senior Brother Zu needs to stay on the island, the island can't be without a master, and we have to guard against Shen Nanxing from bringing people to kill. ”

Zu Qingzhi originally wanted to lead the team by himself, but after hearing what Hua Haoxuan said, it made sense, so he didn't object.

Shi Luosheng said: "In terms of candidates, I also considered it on the way back, although Naha's Xingjiu Baimu is extraordinary in martial arts, but compared with Uncle Hua, there should still be a gap, and Uncle Shi's willingness to go there personally is of course greater." This is the first step for us to open up overseas forces on Changxing Island, and it is also a key step, we can only succeed, not fail, otherwise we will face an opponent like a behemoth like Qi in the future. So just in case, in addition to Uncle Hua, I would like to ask Mr. Shi and Yin Baoli and Ji Luer, among the eight generals of the day, to accompany him. ”

Zu Qingzhi was a little worried: "It's nothing for Yin Thief Li and Ji Lu'er to go together, anyway, no one in this area dares to attack our idea of Changxing Island." But Mr. Shi is also afraid that it is inappropriate, and now Changxing Island is at a critical moment of development, if he is not there, I am worried that the progress of many things will not be able to keep up. Besides, Naha's trip is also very dangerous, although Mr. Shi is resourceful, but martial arts are not his strong point, and he doesn't play a big role when he goes. ”

Shi Luosheng explained: "Master, I have also considered your worries, but I thought when I was in the Beihai Port of Qi Country that if Changxing Island wants to develop further, it must go out and see what the overseas world is like. In the future, we will establish a base in Naha, and in the surrounding Ryukyu Islands, various forces are intricate, and there will definitely be many people who want to fight our idea, so we must gain a firm foothold at the first time, and let Mr. Shi go to Naha now to prepare for future governance. ”

"Naha is no bigger than Chokoji Island, there are now more than 100,000 inhabitants on the island alone, and it is also the political and cultural center of the Ryukyu Kingdom, so if you want to govern it well, you must prepare in advance. After we occupy it, we will govern it, and the naval army of the Ryukyu Kingdom will also be killed, and we may not be able to hold it then. During Mr. Shi's absence, Changxing Island will encounter certain difficulties, but it must be overcome. The national strength of Qi is far beyond our imagination, ten years at the fastest, twenty years at the slow, and there will be no place for us on the mainland. ”

"During the time Mr. Shi went to Naha, Changxing Island was presided over by you, Master. Teacher Ling's task is also very heavy, Naha's naval army is by no means comparable to ordinary pirates, they live at sea all year round, and their combat effectiveness will not be much worse than Jiang Huanyan's naval army, we must improve our own combat effectiveness in this half a year. ”

Zu Qingzhi knew that Shi Luosheng was by no means alarmist, if the Qi State could unify the five countries within ten years, the time left for Changxing Island would not exceed five years.

Zu Qingzhi nodded: "I understand, during Mr. Shi's absence, you can rest assured that Changxing Island will be handed over to me." ”

Shi Luosheng said again: "This time I went to the Qi State to discuss with them the matter of jointly attacking Chu, but they had no intention of cutting Chu at all, they just wanted to drag the Great Song Dynasty back into the war, so that they had no time to help the Yan State again." Once we are in the scheme, the Yan Kingdom will soon be wiped out by them, and the process of Qi Kingdom's unification of the five countries will be accelerated, which is very unfavorable to us, and we must find a way to stop them. ”

"Now it's less than a month since we agreed with Qi Guo to send troops, and then Zixuan and I will immediately rush to Penglai Island to find Ning Buqu, Uncle Shi, when you are ready, you will go to Naha Port first with Chen Duo of the Nujiao Gang, I won't send you, you have to be more careful."

Hua Haoxuan smiled: "Don't worry, just go and be busy with yourself, we will bring back Shigeji Takenaka." ”

Shi Luosheng didn't have time to stay longer, and rushed to Penglai Port with Liu Zixuan.
