Chapter 118: Bandits on the Island
In the middle of the night, the willow tops on the moon, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the boundary of Guangzhou Mansion, the moonlight is all over the ground, the night sky is full of stars, the sea breeze is accompanied by huge waves, like a roaring beast roaring, making the night move and quiet, reflecting each other.
On the Pearl River, on an island, two black shadows walked between the paths, walking hurriedly, talking to each other, their voices full of eagerness and worry.
"Hey, I said, are you sure the helper will agree to that thing during the day?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but I still have 70% or 80%."
"However, the attack on the dock is so big, or is it too dangerous to be near the customs office?"
"It's okay, the Pearl River fire has just passed, not only burned many merchant ships, but also burned a large number of foreign warships, in a short period of time, it is simply impossible to unite the Tartar naval army to form combat effectiveness, posing a threat to us, so the risk of this kind of action is not great."
One of the two figures is the little gangster, the person who reached a certain consensus with Li Lianying during the day. It was very strange to appear on the island at this time, and it was obvious that he was by no means as simple as a gangster. When the two finally talked, they slowly disappeared into the night and walked towards the depths of the island.
If you look carefully, this island is by no means an isolated island, from time to time people appear on the edge of the island near the river at night, patrolling and guarding, responsible for guarding, to ensure the safety of the entire island, with bird guns in their hands, some commanding heights have cannons standing there, and the defense is very strong.
Deep in the island, in the hinterland, a large black stockade stood, full of bright lights, bonfires everywhere, and in the moonlight, you can see flags waving and people waving. In the center of the stockade, there was a loud noise from a huge house.
"Come, drink, good wine, good wine!"
"Six six, eight horses"
"Haha, you lose, admit the punishment, drink quickly, drink quickly."
I saw that this house is huge, covering an area of dozens of acres, just the main hall in the house, the area is hundreds of square meters, can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, plus the second floor, thousands of people at the same time will not seem crowded. It was majestic, but it was a mess everywhere, and the hall lost its proper style.
At this time, the hall was full of people, drunk people everywhere, everyone was full of alcohol, drunk and drunk, yelling, disorderly, wine jugs, plates and saucers scattered everywhere, and everyone's consciousness was in a state of confusion.
These people may sit there with their breasts bare, and they will drink wine and eat meat. Or lie on your back and sleep, and pick up the flask next to you from time to time, which is a hearty drink. Everyone is drunk and hazy, and they are all rude.
In the middle of the hall, at the top, a man with a tiger's back sat there, and on either side sat petite and lovely women, scantily dressed, causing the people below to laugh, and from time to time there was a light of desire in their eyes.
Obviously, this is a group of pirates, and this island is their lair, entrenched here. Moreover, these people are not the green kind of forest heroes who gather on the top of the mountain, they do chivalrous deeds, and everyone exudes a gangsterism and violent meaning, and they are not good and good at first glance.
When the pirate leader sitting above was drinking and teasing the woman next to him for fun, two people appeared outside the door, one of them was the thug, and at this time, the two of them trotted and quickly came to the pirate leader's wine table not far away, clasped their hands into fists, bowed down and shouted: "Helper, we are back." ”
The pirate leader opened his blurred eyes, looked at the wine table vaguely, and felt very vague, the figures of the two were somewhat familiar, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and opened them wide, only then did he see clearly, and said with a mouthful of wine: "You two are back, and the matter is done?" ”
For a while, the two gangsters looked at each other tacitly, and they both saw each other's worries, helplessness, how can the helper report things in such a state?
"What's wrong? You didn't get things done? Uh~" A heavy belch erupted from the pirate leader's mouth and echoed all around.
It was still the little gangster, when he saw the boss asking, although he was still worried and helpless in his heart, he still replied: "Helper, the matter is only half done." ”
"En~ Done is done, what is half done?" The pirate leader immediately showed a hint of anger, frowned, and asked in a cold voice.
"Helper, that's the case, there is a candidate, the conversation is almost over, there is a trace of accident, that person doesn't believe what I said, we need to take action, prove it, and gain his initial trust."
"Well, what proof? What action? Lao Tzu doesn't have the heart to listen to you now, go to the military advisor, he will do whatever he says, don't bother me! ”
"Yes, big brother, let's go to the military advisor to negotiate."
Then, the two of them clasped their fists again, bowed and retreated, and the pirate leader did not look at it, and continued to entertain with the two beauties, flirting with each other, and all kinds of actions continued.
The two gangsters quickly went out of the hall, came to the door, and walked straight to the side, in a small room next to it, there was no light, obviously the people inside had slept, the two stood in front of the door, I don't know what to do, and whispered.
"Hey, it looks like the military advisor has already slept, what should we do now? You can't wait until dawn, right~? ”
"No, I made an appointment with that person that I could have results tomorrow morning, and if I waited until dawn, it would be too late to mobilize people to move, let alone make a plan? There will be a delay and the trust of the other party will be lost. ”
"However, the military advisor has already slept, and everyone knows that in normal times, the military advisor is most annoyed by others disturbing his sleep."
While the two were about to whisper, there was a sudden light in the hut, and a burst of words came out.
"Who's out there? I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what is the noise? Is your flesh itching again? ”
"The military advisor is small, and the candidates in Guangzhou already have eyebrows, which is very suitable. Now the other party doesn't believe what I said, and wants us to act first to prove that what we said is true. ”
"Oh, it's you, it's involved in personnel operations, why don't you go to the big brother? What are you doing with me? ”
"Strategist, it's like this, the helper is drunk, and now he doesn't have time to take care of this matter, let us come to you and let you watch it."
"Won't you be able to do it tomorrow? Do you have to wait until now? ”
"Qiqi military division, I have agreed with that person, and I will see the results of the operation tomorrow morning, so"
"Well, come in, the door is unlocked."
As soon as they heard this, the two of them were immediately overjoyed, and their spirits came, and their sad faces disappeared, and they pushed the door in full bloom, and discussed with the military advisor inside, telling the whole thing and expressing their opinions.
An hour had passed, and the two thugs had a happy conversation on their faces, and they came out of the hut, and it was clear that the military adviser had agreed to the action, and had drawn up a plan of action. The two then returned to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
The next day, the sun was shining, the clouds had disappeared for many days, and there were still traces of the fire on the Pearl River, and there were charred wood floating everywhere, goods that had not been completely burned, and some boats, which were being salvaged.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, the skin of the roasters was hot and unbearable, the sun was scorching, there were fewer and fewer people on the river, and only some boats stayed at the docks.
In a certain room of the Guangdong Customs Department, Li Lianying walked back and forth impetuously, every few seconds through the window, looking into the distance, looking at the wharf of the Pearl River, paying close attention to all the conditions there.
Li Lianying walked back and forth all morning, her legs were numb, and there was still no condition, and the disappointment gradually appeared in her eyes, getting thicker and thicker, and finally she simply stopped looking and sat on the chair angrily.
Impatiently took the one next to him, only took two sips, and impatiently threw the teacup on the coffee table, looking restless and unable to calm down.
