In the waters of Hong Kong Island, many islands are planted with thunderous flags, waving in the wind and fluttering in the air. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA group of soldiers dressed in thunder costumes are patrolling, holding bird guns, on guard, or distributed on Lamma Island, or walking along the coast of Hong Kong Island, and the New Territories and Kowloon regions, all of which are Thunder's personnel, Thunder's sphere of influence.

In less than half a year, the six major pirate forces along the coast of Guangdong Province disappeared one after another, and the only Red Flag Gang survived, but it was also a corner of peace, remaining on Lantau Island, gradually withering and constantly reducing its personnel.

On Lantau Island, in the former stockade of the Black Flag Gang, it was still in that hall, and the people on the seat had long been replaced by Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, the female leader of the Red Flag Gang. At this time, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law sat upright, looking at the people below, her face was cloudy, and she had long lost the kind of free and cheerful demeanor she had in the past, and the feeling of heroic women was a little more melancholy, looming, mixed with a faint sense of exhaustion.

The others in the hall looked even more dejected, like the remnants of the defeated army, panicked, listless, without the premonition of the past, belonging to the first great pirate force.

"Brothers, you are all the leaders of one side, and you are in control of the men and horses of our Red Banner Gang. Just two days ago, the Blue Flag Gang was wiped out by Thunder, and it is expected that soon after, it will be our Red Flag Gang. Leaders, what are your thoughts on the future of the Red Flag Gang? You might as well say it, let's discuss it, it's not a matter if you're always so clubbing and silent. ”

The flat voice echoed in the hall, and everyone could hear it clearly, but still no one stood up and said anything, still silent, a lifeless scene. Seeing that she didn't respond to her words, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law had no choice but to order.

"Elder Gu, it can be said that you are the elder of the Three Dynasties, who has followed my husband's eldest brother Zheng Qi, followed by my husband Zheng Yi, and now it is me. According to the current situation, I don't know what you think about the future of our Red Flag Gang? ”

As soon as he heard shouting himself, Elder Gu's original calm expression suddenly woke up, looked around, twisted his beard, and the old man's voice sounded, it was so helpless, faintly a little harsh.

"Helper, since you singled out me, I have something to say, whether it is or not to destroy my prestige with other people's morale, I hope the helper doesn't care, don't blame me for disturbing the morale of the army."

Seeing that Sister-in-law Zheng nodded and acquiesced to her words, Elder Gu continued: "To put it bluntly, the current strength of our Red Flag Gang is simply not able to confront Thunder, either surrender, or go away to the south, to the birthplace of Zheng Qi's old gang leader, Annan. ”

Elder Gu paused, looked at the reactions of the people around him, sighed, and continued: "Not to mention anything else, people on Lantau Island flee to Thunder every day, and our number of people is gradually decreasing. Moreover, almost all of the members of our Red Flag Gang are coastal residents of Guangdong and Fujian provinces. If you go to the land of Annam, how many people are willing to follow? ”

"Helper, the old man is here to ask for a favor, and there is a reluctant request, I hope you can agree?"

After speaking, Elder Gu stood there with his body stiff, silent, looking directly at Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, with a look of anticipation on his face, his expression was a little complicated, and he was a little ashamed. Sister-in-law Zheng nodded slightly, her face was full of respect, and she said softly: "Anyway, Elder Gu, you are my elder, if you have any requirements, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." ”

Elder Gu showed a hint of gratitude, and his shame was even stronger, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The old man has followed the former gang leader Zheng Qi and Zheng Yi for many years, and now, he is already gray and white-haired, and his body has not been very good, and he has already stepped into the soil with half of his body. ”

At this moment, in the hall, whether it was Zheng Yi's sister-in-law or everyone else, they could feel the sincerity of what Elder Gu said, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of life, which made people feel sympathy. Especially his rickety body, gray hair, and wrinkled face, all made Zheng Yi's sister-in-law unable to refuse, and she couldn't bear it.

However, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law did not show her attitude, did she agree? He just said calmly, "Okay, Elder Gu, I understand what you mean, and I know what else you want to say." ”

Then, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law raised her head slightly, slowly moved sideways, and glanced at everyone, with an inquiring look in her eyes. In the end, his eyes still stayed on a young man, it was Zhang Baozai, who did not hesitate any longer, and lightly opened his lips: "Leader Zhang, as the mainstay of our Red Flag Gang and the leader of the younger generation, did you say something?" ”

In an instant, Zhang Baozai straightened up, stood up straight, exuding a sharp aura, without the decadent appearance of others, his eyes were shining, his expression was still bright, and he said slowly: "Qiqi Gang Master, I agree with Elder Gu's statement. Moreover, I think there is only one of the two choices, in fact, there is only one in front of our Red Flag Gang, and there is no choice. ”

Everyone nodded first, and then they were stunned, their faces were puzzled, and they were puzzled, Zhang Baozai's voice sounded again, confident and full of rationality, slow and reasonable, which made people unable to refute, and then they all suddenly realized.

"As far as I know, the current Annan is no longer what it used to be, and it is in the midst of civil strife, and it is simply unable to support our Red Flag Gang, let alone take it in. If you have to go and join the command of King Annam, at this time, you are likely to become his cannon fodder, charge for him, and kill the enemy on the battlefield. ”

"Moreover, our Red Flag Gang is good at naval warfare, and is not good at hand-to-hand combat and close-range fighting. In this case, there is no need for us to go to Annan at all. What's more, we are all Chinese people, and few of us are willing to die on the land of Annam, and we don't have any profits."

As Zhang Baozai talked eloquently, everyone in the hall nodded frequently, especially the last sentence, which was even more deeply recognized and recognized, speaking to everyone's hearts. Most of the people in the hall are because of the convergence of interests, in order to be able to eat and drink without worry, if possible, who wants to go away? Buried in a foreign country?

Looking at everyone's reactions, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law knew in her heart that she knew what most people thought, and her thoughts were the same, and she tended to stay, the first way.

I was determined, and I had an idea, knowing that there was no need for the meeting to go on, so I waved my sleeves and said loudly: "Okay, that's all for today's military meeting, you can go down first." Which path you choose, these two days will tell you. ”

As Zheng Yi's sister-in-law's words fell, the various leaders moved, and whispered discussions came and went, walking towards the outside of the hall. Seeing that everyone was almost gone, the hall was no longer so crowded, and Elder Gu and Zhang Baozai, who were at the back, were about to take a step, but they were stopped by Zheng Yi's sister-in-law.

"Elder Gu, Leader Zhang, wait a minute, I still have something to look for you."

When everyone else left, and there were only three people in the hall, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law stood up and slowly walked down, walking towards Elder Gu and Zhang Baozai, and soon, she stood between the two of them, with a resolute look on her face.

"With your ingenuity, you must have guessed what I was looking for you? Yes, it's the matter of attaching to the thunder, I don't know what the two of you think? Or good advice? ”

Whether it was out of respect for the old and love for the young, or admiration from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Baozai did not speak immediately, but looked at Elder Gu. The meaning is obvious, that is, you say it first. However, Elder Gu shook his head slightly, and said with some vicissitudes: "Leader Zhang, let's say it, I have this old bone, I just want to be able to live for the rest of my life after this matter is over." ”

Seeing that Elder Gu didn't seem to be polite, Zhang Baozai no longer shirked, his body straightened, turned his head to look at Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, and said solemnly: "Helper, since you choose to be attached, the sooner the better, and do it as soon as possible." At this time, it is the most sensitive period, and once it is delayed for too long, it will cause a misunderstanding of the thunder, speculating that we will unite with other forces. ”

"It is not difficult to imagine that if it were us, we would definitely take action as soon as possible to take Lantau Island, so as not to have too many dreams at night and procrastinate for a long time."

Although there were no words, Elder Gu's slightly nodding posture explained everything, and Sister-in-law Zheng's voice rose with it, echoing in the empty hall.

"So, Leader Zhang, what do you think I should do? How can we talk to each other? (To be continued.) )
