However, the sailor did not look happy, but squeezed backwards, his face was even more frightened, and his body shook more and more, like chaff. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The little wolf was about to get angry, Iriomote suddenly took over the conversation and explained: "Wolf leader, don't be angry, this guy of mine doesn't know Chinese, can't understand what you say, and didn't mean to offend you, the language of our Ryukyu Kingdom is different from yours." ”

As soon as he said this, before he finished speaking, the little wolf suddenly showed a look of displeasure, frowned slightly, and said in a quiet tone: "I said, in this case, you don't want to go to Guangzhou City in person to take on the role of this messenger, right?" This envoy is really a good calculation, do you think I will agree? ”

Iriomote immediately showed a panicked look, but he pretended to be nervous, and said again and again: "Wolf leader, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of doing so. In addition to me and the deputy envoy who know Chinese, there is also a sailor who understands, and you can send him! ”

At this moment, Iriomote's inner tension had reached a peak, his emotions were extremely nervous, he was almost unable to breathe in a trance, and his heart was beating suddenly. The remaining trace of rationality still made Iriomote suppress the strong emotional fluctuations in his heart, and showed a low brow, extremely respectful, cautious, and very eager to gain the approval and belief of the little wolf, and to be able to realize the plan in his mind.

The little wolf didn't think much about it, just let out a long sigh and agreed, it didn't seem to care very much, and he had lost interest in everyone. In an instant, as if a big stone in his heart fell, Nishimote secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh... In this case, it will be easy to do, you go and find out the man, and then I will arrange a small boat for him to go to the Guangzhou Mansion to report the news, as long as you people are in your hands, I am not afraid of what the Qing court dog legs will do, do not do what I say, and do not obediently hand over the ransom. ”

As if he was in no mood to interrogate again, the little wolf led a few little minions into the cabin, hung a group of people on the deck, and went to inspect the goods and inspect them himself.

I don't know when, the fleet of the Qingqi Gang sailed on the Pearl River, swinging. The little wolf lay in the cabin, enjoying. At this time, an entourage on the side looked flattering and said: "Brother Wolf, you are so wise, you just went out like this, not only got two ships of goods, but also earned an extra few hundred thousand taels of silver." After returning to Lamma Island, the helper will definitely reward you, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the second master! ”

"Yes, for such a great achievement, my eldest brother will definitely reward me. However, I didn't pay any attention to those hundreds of thousands of taels, and I didn't plan to ask for them at all, it was just my trick. With the cargo of these two ships, it is enough for our brothers to ask for credit. ”

"Ah, Brother Wolf, that's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how can you say don't want it? What does that mean? Since you didn't plan to ask for it, Brother Wolf, why did you still promise that envoy, just kill it directly, it can save us a lot of trouble, why bother to talk to him so much, isn't this a waste of Brother Wolf's saliva? ”

"Boy, you don't understand this. If these people are really killed, as in the past, after the looting is done, the ship will be burned. Now is different from the past, the situation is different now, if we still move things to our ships as before, just the cargo on two ships, it will be enough for us to be busy. It is very unsafe to stay on the Pearl River for a long time. Even if you are not afraid of the help of those sailors of the Qing court, it is inevitable that you will encounter the warships of other gangs and cause friction. In this way, it is likely to face the situation of being counter-robbed, so we will lose a lot! ”

"Yes, Brother Wolf, we Qingqi Gang have not experienced this kind of thing, and they are often robbed by the other five major forces. But what does this have to do with your negotiation with that man? ”

"Hey, I say, do you have all the mush in your head? This is all said so clearly, why don't you understand? ”

As soon as the words fell, the little minion suddenly showed embarrassment and scratched his head embarrassedly. Seeing this situation, although his face was very helpless, but after doing such a large amount of business, the little wolf was still happy from the bottom of his heart, and he was in a good mood to explain.

"Forget it, I should teach you a lesson, teach you, and tell me the way in it. Let me tell you, the reason why I did this is to stabilize these Ryukyu people and let them continue to row and serve us. That's why I took out a part of our men and put them on the two merchant ships, and I pulled some of the Ryukyu people out of them and pulled them on the warships to serve as coolies and oars. ”

"In this way, these people will be lucky, no longer resist, and obediently follow us, row well, and return to Lamma Island, without worrying about the lack of manpower to get the two merchant ships back. After I go back, how to deal with it and what I want to do is not up to us, and we no longer have any scruples. ”

......

At the same time, on the merchant ship, in a certain room in the cabin, Lu Ziming and Iriomote were detained inside. As soon as Iriomote untied Lu Ziming's rope, Lu Ziming immediately scolded.

"You bastard, you didn't fight to the end, you didn't resist, you surrendered! How can you, a traitor, a villain through and through, be worthy of the king's trust and trust, and how can you be worthy of the ......?"

Iriomote immediately covered Lu Ziming's mouth, nervously looked at the door, the two phantoms, and made a silent movement: "Shh~"

At this moment, two conversations came from outside the door.

"cao, what kind of bird language do these Ryukyu people speak, they talk nonsense, it's really ugly!"

"Who's to say it isn't? Regardless of them, as long as our brothers take care of them, don't let them escape. Then, after returning to Lamma Island, it will be fine, and our reward will be indispensable. ”

Lu Ziming pushed away Iriomote's arm, his face was full of anger and disgust. Iriomote didn't get angry, as if he was fine, he didn't hear the swearing, but he looked at the door again, with a look of probing his brain, and then whispered: "Fortunately, the Japanese language we used didn't leak anything." ”

"Lord Lu, don't you believe in me? Am I so careless about the big picture? Don't I know the consequences of surrender? Once the princess has a mistake, if something happens, even if I can escape, my family will not escape the fate of death, and I will be affected. ”

Speaking of family, it seems that he thinks of some past events, and the scene of getting together with his family, Lu Ziming also has a sad face. Just when he was about to be sad, he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart, he thought of something, realized a certain meaning contained in the words, his eyes flashed with a crystal light, and he asked in a low and urgent voice, "Lord Iriomote, what do you mean by this, do you ......?"

"You guessed right, the reason why I surrendered, I have my plan, which is to cover the princess's escape, and I have to do it as a last resort."

......

Then, Iriomote explained his plans and plans one by one. After a long time, when the room was calm again, Lu Ziming said with admiration: "Lord Iriomote, it's really hard for you, in such a short period of time, you came up with such a good plan, pretended to be a courtship mission, fooled through, and gained the trust of those pirates. ”

"No way, for the safety of you and my family, for the sake of the families of all the personnel from being slaughtered, we have to do this, we must ensure the safety of the princess as much as possible."

"That's... Lord Iriomote, how likely do you think it is that the princess will be able to reach Canton Mansion? After all, the princess has grown up in the royal family since she was a child, she is extremely noble, she is delicate, she has never rowed a boat, can she stand such a tiring job? Can the body withstand it and row the boat to Canton Mansion? ”

It seemed to have infinite emotion, and it seemed to be praying silently, through the window screen, Iriomote seemed to be able to see the sky outside, and said earnestly: "No way, this is the last thing we can do, I just hope that God will bless my lord and bless the princess to arrive in Guangzhou City safely." ”

As soon as the words containing infinite sadness came out, Lu Ziming showed empathy and let out a long sigh. "Hey......" (To be continued.) )
