Chapter 267: I'll Give You a Chance!
Just when the sailors of Fujian and Zhejiang were frantically killing towards the southeast sea with a vicious dog pounce, Liang Pengfei was sitting in the cabin of a warship, looking at a black-faced man who was tied up by rope, gritting his teeth, and panting like a cow. Next to him, there is a middle-aged man who looks quite similar to Na Zhu Kui and also looks rich, it is Zhu Li, the brother of Na Zhu Kui.
Beside them, there were more than a dozen Fujian and Zhejiang pirate leaders, although their expressions were a little uneasy, but they were all relaxed, not only because Zhu Lian had repeatedly assured them before, but more importantly, their brothers and relatives were driving their respective warships at the moment under the guidance of Zhu Erye, and they were quickly fleeing south, leaving the waters of Fujian and Zhejiang.
And the black-faced man with his hands and feet tied and a strip of cloth stuffed into his mouth was staring at Zhu Li with his extremely resentful gaze. This is naturally the pirate leader Cai Lian, who is famous in Fujian and Zhejiang and gathers the crowd to attack the fleet of the British envoys.
However, Zhu Lian seemed to be extremely calm at this time. "Brother Cai, you can blame me or blame me, but I did this not only to save your surname, but also for the sake of the lives of nearly 10,000 of our brothers in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shanghai."
"Don't call me brother, I don't have a brother like you Zhu Lian who betrays his friends and seeks glory." Cai Lian roared angrily.
"You mean, Zhu Gang is an unrighteous person who betrays his friends and seeks glory?" After entering the cabin, Liang Pengfei, who had been looking at Cai and the pirate leader, finally opened his mouth at this time.
"Hmph, Liang Pengfei, what's the matter, don't you want to take the head of a certain family to ask for credit for your master? Come on, if Lao Tzu Cai Lian frowns, he is not a hero. Cai Lianhuo Ran turned his head, stared at Liang Pengfei with a pair of eyes, and said in an extremely resentful tone.
"Cai Lian, why are you still obsessed?!" Chen Tianbao, who was standing beside Liang Pengfei, couldn't help but shout with disgust: "How can Liang Shao be such a person?!" ”
"Yes, how could Liang Shao be such a person." Next to him, a pirate leader also stood up and said loudly, and all the pirate leaders also responded one after another, because most of them knew each other and knew the true identity of this Chen Tianbao, and it was precisely because of Chen Tianbao and Zhu Lian as guarantors that these leaders would obey the arrangement so reassuringly, because they thought that they would take off the heads of themselves and others to ask for credit, and they were afraid that they would not even be able to resist one of Chen Tianbao's toes.
Chen Tianbao has served Liang Pengfei, lived for almost a year, and is still so moisturized, and he and others have now been forced into a corner by the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors, so why don't they follow in Chen Tianbao's footsteps and serve this Liang Shao, at least they can save their lives?
--------------------
Cai Lian's eyes that were almost dripping blood swept over the faces of these people one by one, and many of these leaders subconsciously avoided his gaze, but a few of them looked at him without showing weakness.
"Ungrateful bastards!" Cai Lian spat fiercely, as if he wanted to jump up and beat the group of people, but his whole body was strangled by the rope and he couldn't move.
"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable...... Slap ......" The four loud slaps turned the originally noisy cabin into a dead silence, and everyone looked at Liang Pengfei who was standing in front of Cai Lian, who was rubbing his slap there with an indifferent face, no one thought that Liang Pengfei would suddenly jump up and slap Cai Lian several times.
The corners of Cai Lian's mouth showed a hint of bright red, and the expression of resentment and dismayment was reflected on his face.
"Do you know that I originally wanted to slaughter you and your men and throw them into the sea to feed the fish? Do you know if it weren't for your brother Zhu Li's repeated requests, that's why he would have captured you alive today instead of slaughtering you? Liang Pengfei seemed to be still angry and roared angrily in front of Cai Lian.
Cai Lian also seemed to be taken aback by Liang Pengfei's anger, and looked at this young man who sprayed all his saliva on his face and had an iron face.
"Do you think that with such a few people, you will be invincible in the world after a few rounds of fighting with the sailors of the court? Can you be the king and hegemon, and call yourself the Son of Heaven? If that's the case, wouldn't Lin Shuangwen be more qualified than you? Zheng Lianchang is not more qualified than you?! ”
"If it weren't for the fact that you were still a little useful, Lao Tzu wouldn't talk nonsense with you today, now, I'll give you two choices, first, let me kill you, and tell you, I, Liang Pengfei, disdain to use your head to ask the court for credit." Liang Pengfei patted Cai Lian's head contemptuously.
Without waiting for Cai Lian to speak, Liang Pengfei continued: "The second choice, don't you want to be the king?" I heard that you even have a dragon robe ready, but unfortunately, the Fujian sailor didn't give you this opportunity. But now, I can give you that chance. ”
"What the fuck do you mean? If you want to kill or chop, even if you rush here, how can you be humiliated at will?! Hearing that Liang Pengfei had pierced his pig urine, Cai Lian's black face, who was full of shame and anger, couldn't help but blush slightly in front of the brothers.
"I beat you because you wanted to fill all these brothers for your own selfishness, and I gave you a chance because you are indeed a human being." Liang Pengfei returned to his place and sat down, looking at Cai Lian calmly.
Cai Lian didn't speak, although he was slapped a few times by Liang Pengfei on his old face, and he was in hot pain, but he was very sober, although he was not afraid of death, but if there was a way to live, then why give up. Anyway, let's listen first, and see what the hell is this guy going to do?
"Although I think you are a bit stupid, I will not humiliate you, I really want to give you a chance, as long as you have the ability to lay down a world there, then it is natural for you to be the king and dominate, you know, in that area, there are many countries established by our Chinese." Liang Pengfei stared at Cai Lian deadly.
"Your men, your relatives including you, I will send you to the South Seas, and even I can provide you with weapons and armaments, but only once, after that, it is up to you. Well, now you have a choice. ”
Don't be anyone else, even if Zhu Lian heard the choice that Liang Pengfei gave to Cai Lian, he couldn't help but have his eyes lit up and gasped. If it weren't for the fact that he thought that if he joined Liang Pengfei's side, he would definitely be able to obtain greater benefits, maybe all the pirate leaders present would be willing to take Cai Lian's place to make this choice.
"Why are you doing that?" Cai Lian wanted to pluck out his ears, could it be because his ears were blocked by earwax and he had auditory hallucinations? If Liang Pengfei left his surname just now, Cai Lian thought that he would let Liang Pengfei coerce his family to do things for him, but he never imagined that he would just let himself go, although Nanyang was too far away from his hometown and he was not very familiar with it.
--------------------
However, Cai Lian, who has been on the sea for a long time, has not heard of those Chinese from Guangdong and Fujian who established a country in Nanyang, and there are many of them, in addition to the Republic of Lanfang, there are also people like Wu Yuansheng, a native of Guangdong Province, who established the Daiyan Kingdom in northern Borneo (the throne is hereditary, and the country has been established for more than 100 years, and died in the Netherlands in the 19th century. Zhang Jiexu, a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, established an unnamed kingdom on the island of Ambona (Natuna Island) and appointed himself king (Zhang Jiexu's death caused internal strife and the kingdom collapsed). Wu Yang, a native of Fujian Province, who established another kingdom on the Malay Peninsula without a specific name (wiped out in the 19th century by the British who expanded eastward) King of Sriwijaya Zhang Lian of Raoping, Guangdong; Wang, a native of Fujian, Borneo; Wang, a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong, Shunta, Java...... Although all of these Chinese countries died in the 19th century in the frenzy of aggression of Western colonizers in Southeast Asia. But now, it is still in their glory days.
And Liang Pengfei's suggestion really deeply touched Cai Lian, a pirate who is both ambitious and capable.
"What are your intentions?" Cai held back for a long time, eager to gouge out his eyeballs and put them in front of Liang Pengfei to carefully study this guy's mental structure (because he didn't know that there was such a thing as a magnifying glass in the world). But he couldn't think of why this guy was so good to himself, and conspiracy theories instantly formed in his brain.
Liang Pengfei couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Cai Lian's face that made him a little swollen just now, with distrust written on the left and conspiracy written on the right. "That's because Lao Tzu doesn't have time to play with you, and more importantly, I don't want the Han people to kill the Han people, unless, he has to block my way."
"Brother Cai, you can choose for yourself. Liang Shao can't speak. Chen Tianbao next to him took a deep breath, he knew very well that Liang Pengfei was telling the truth, in front of Liang Pengfei's ambience of seeking the world and rejecting Xiyi, Cai Lian's current actions can be said to be indeed like ridiculous family wine.
"Okay, Lao Tzu goes to Nanyang! However, Liang Pengfei, don't think that I, Cai, will be grateful to you for letting me go, if one day, hum, I hope you don't let me seize the opportunity. ”
After Liang Pengfei heard Cai Lian's words, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and motioned to the white scholar to untie the rope that tied Cai Lian. After that, Liang Pengfei said extremely sincerely: "As long as you can take root there and have the strength, I can give you a fair chance to fight, as long as you are willing at that time." ”
"......" Cai Qian rubbed his blue wrist silently, rolled his eyes vigorously, but he really couldn't say a word anymore, although his heart was so angry, so depressed, but he knew that just this amount of energy, he was far inferior.
"Just let him go?" The militant Wu Qianjin poked a wooden stick with a dagger, and the three battalion sailors were murderous and violent, and pounced on Yonaguni Island with the momentum of a vicious tiger descending the mountain, but as a result, let alone firing a cannon, he didn't even fire a shot, and saw those Fujian and Zhejiang pirates lined up to escort Cai Lian and his dead friends neatly waiting for review.
Then Liang Pengfei didn't cut off any of his heads, and just let Cai Lian and the others go, it can be said that this is the most benevolent battle that Wu Qianjin has seen since he fought with Liang Pengfei. This made Wu Qianjin, who didn't even see the knife red, very itchy.
