Chapter 306: Iriomote's Thoughts
When he saw the moment when the brothers seized the first merchant ship and gained control, the excitement was overflowing, and a kind of excitement burst out of the whole body, and the little wolf couldn't help but exclaim: "Well done, so beautiful!" ”
Then, through the binoculars, I saw a gorgeously dressed man waving a white flag, waving it incessantly, very conspicuously, and shouting something in his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the waving of the white flag representing surrender and the order of Iriomote, the rest of the Ryukyu Kingdom laid down their arms and surrendered, hiding aside, the little wolf laughed wantonly, and shouted loudly and heroically: "Haha, order all the personnel to stop attacking, all the warships are moving closer to the merchant ships, let's also go and see what is on these two merchant ships that makes these people resist so strongly!" ”
Soon after, several large ships were gathered together, all connected by wooden ladders to facilitate the movement of people. Standing on the deck of the merchant ship, the little wolf looked at Iriomote with sparkling eyes, as well as the sailors crouching in all corners, other pirates were either armed with birds, or holding large knives and spears, guarding the sailors, and some pirate minions shuttled between the merchant ships and the warships, searching, checking for any missing or hidden sailors?
At this moment, I don't know what the little wolf is thinking, or if he is distracted, but there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression is very complex and weird.....
At this time, a person walked out of the cabin, and a pirate minion also ran over from another cargo ship, and the two arrived almost at the same time, standing in front of the little wolf, on both sides, and said in unison: "Brother Wolf, this is the account book that my brothers and I have searched, recording the goods and tribute on the merchant ship. ”
The little wolf's expression shook suddenly, and the word tribute immediately attracted his attention, and he said with surprise on his face: "Tribute? Could it be that we are robbing the tribute escort ship of the Ryukyu Kingdom?! Damn, it looks like we're getting rich! ”
As he spoke, his two hands were also stretched out, and he took the two account books, and his mouth was still muttering: "Damn, damn it, even if the two ships are full of goods, they won't keep two account books, what the hell?" ”
After opening it, the little wolf was even more surprised, he didn't expect that the two account books were recorded in Hanzi, but he was saying to himself in his heart, could it be that the Ryukyu Kingdom also uses Chinese characters and speaks Chinese?
As the ledger slowly unfolded, after a cursory reading, the little wolf had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that there was something inexplicable about the two account books, and something was wrong.
Although there was a fog of doubt in his heart, he felt that there was something wrong with the two account books, but he did not investigate it or ask deeply, but he just felt that there were these things on the merchant ship. He collected two account books, put them in his arms, and looked at the man in Chinese clothes squatting on the ground.
"Hey, I say, you're the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Iriomote? Who is that Lu Ziming? ”
I don't know if I'm used to it, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, or there is no threat of shells and bullets, Iriomote is not so nervous, and in the face of the little wolf's question, he replied very calmly: "Yes, I am the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Lu Ziming is my deputy envoy." ”
The moment he heard the question, he felt a faint sense of excitement in his heart, and he was worried about how to reveal his identity and circle with the other party. At this moment, you don't need to say it yourself, the two ledgers explain everything, convey the meaning you want to say, you really want to come to what, God help me.
At this moment, when the little wolf was about to ask something, Iriomote suddenly said: "This leader, as long as you can spare us and keep your promise, in addition to the property of these two ships, I can make you make another windfall." It may not be as much as these two ships, but it is also a lot of wealth, and there should be no problem with hundreds of thousands of taels. ”
All of a sudden, in an instant, the little wolf reacted, his heart was excited, very surging, not happy for hundreds of thousands of taels. Because, he really realized, how valuable is the cargo of these two ships, how much is it worth? According to preliminary estimates, at least one million taels of silver!
Seeing the excitement on the little wolf's face, Iriomote felt that there was a play, and the bait he threw played a role, and hundreds of thousands of taels still had some great attraction for these pirates. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little confident in my heart, slowly stood up, and said with a pleasant face: "This wolf leader, I don't know what the suggestion is, do you agree?" As long as you let us go, not only will these two ships be yours, but we will also offer hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in both hands. ”
Although the words are soft, they are full of the allure of agitation. At this time, before the little wolf could express his position, a pirate minion stepped forward, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was good, and then he suggested: "Brother Wolf, just promise him, anyway, we haven't done such a thing, we haven't done this kind of thing, we have kidnapped too many people to ask for ransom, this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and there may not be such a big order in a few months!" ”
The little wolf touched the two account books on his chest, pressed the excitement in his chest, restrained his smile, and ignored the little minion's proposal, as if he hadn't heard it, and said with a straight face: "I said, you are just the tribute of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but just a few small envoys, why should the Qing court redeem you?" ”
"Even so, the Qing court really promised to pay a ransom in exchange for your safety, why should I trust what you say and say, instead of a conspiracy to encircle and suppress our Qingqi Gang?"
It seems that there is already a countermeasure in his chest, and thinking that there will be such a question, Iriomote has a very confident look, calmly answers the little wolf's question, and Lang Lang narrates.
"Wolf leader, although you can rest assured, although my Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of the Qing court, it intends to marry the princess of Shangbang and form the good of Qin and Jin. I think that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will definitely agree to my king's request to marry a princess to our prince. ”
"Therefore, our line of work is particularly important, whether it is successful or not, it is all about the face of the Qing Dynasty, presumably the imperial court will not ignore it, regardless of our life or death."
From beginning to end, the little wolf seemed to touch his chest intentionally or unintentionally, nodded frequently, and showed a look of approval, but he didn't have any words to respond, showing his attitude, just watching leisurely.
"As for the question of whether it is a trap or not, the wolf leader can rest assured, you only need to take me and my deputy into custody, take me as hostages, and send another person from our Ryukyu Kingdom to report the news. I think that your gang has been dominating the sea for a long time, and it must have its own way of dealing with it, to test whether what I said is true, and whether there is any fraud in it? How do I get the ransom? ”
Then, Iriomote stopped talking, stood aside casually, smiling, looking at the little wolf very calmly, exuding expectation, but his heart was nervously beating suddenly, and it was not as peaceful and calm as it seemed on the surface.
The little wolf touched his chin, groaned, and said slowly, "I promise you." However, only one of you will be released, and all the others will be held hostage until we see the ransom. If there is no response for a certain period of time, I will slaughter you and throw you into the sea to feed the fish! ”
Then, as soon as the words were finished, the little wolf kept the sailor next to him, seeing that his look was very frightened, and he looked like a chilling cicada, and said flatly: "You, you will deliver the letter." (To be continued.) )
