Chapter 303: Negotiation

"In the past, the Green Flag Gang on Lamma Island was coveted by the Yellow Flag Gang on Hong Kong Island, the Blue Flag Gang on the Kowloon Peninsula and the Red Flag Gang in the New Territories, especially the nearest Yellow Flag Gang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Since Lantau Island, where our Black Flag Gang is entrenched, is the farthest away, Li Shangqing of the Green Flag Gang has formed an alliance with Guo Po and united to resist the other three major forces. So, during those days, I would take some of my brothers back and forth between Lantau Island and Lamma Island, and I knew the waters around that area very well. ā€

"Therefore, under the cover of night and under the cover of the stars, I am fully confident that I can pass through the waters bordering Lantau Island and the New Territories without being discovered."

Zhuge Mou's words encouraged the two of them at the same time, making them refreshed and their spirits doubled. In just a moment, the three of them began to sit around, pointing at the sea map from time to time, discussing the details of the operation, and planning how to act? How to capture Lamma Island?

The next day, at the mouth of the Pearl River, at the intersection of the two, two large ships were moving slowly. On this clear day, the wind was mild, and the windless water made the two merchant ships look bored and moving very slowly.

According to the flags of the two merchant ships, it can be seen that these are two merchant ships of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Looking at its specifications, it looks like an official ship.

In one of the slightly larger merchant ships, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man sat there, his face very calm, and he could not see the slightest change in mood. At that moment, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the cabin, and soon a sailor-like figure walked in.

"Lord Iriomote, if all goes well, we will be able to reach Canton Mansion in the land of Shangbang at noon, and do business with the merchants there, and the goods we bring will surely be sold out, and we will be able to buy a large amount of silk, tea, and precious porcelain."

With the introduction of the sailor, it seems that the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, who are called Iriomote, saw the scene of business transactions, and a large box full of silver taels was placed in front of him, his eyes were full of light, and the sake bottle in his hand shook slightly.

At this moment, while Iriomote was still imagining, there was a noise outside the ship, and the sound of chaos continued, and a person broke in, without any instructions, and his face was full of panic, and quickly asked for instructions.

"My lord, it's not good, there are a large number of suspicious small ships approaching our merchant ships, and there are a few ships that look like warships moored in the distance, scattered around!"

The middle-aged man's angry look just now disappeared, his right hand trembled slightly, and the wine in the cup immediately spilled, as if there was some kind of fantasy, and he couldn't help but say: "Warship? Could it be that the Guangdong sailors of the country of Shangbang have surrounded us? ā€

"Lord Qiyu, it doesn't look like it, those warships don't have the flag of the country of Shangbang on them, and the personnel are dressed very misneath, more like pirates."

Hearing this, the man's judgment immediately caused Iriomote's body that had just stood up to sit down on the wooden plank again, his face pale, showing a look of panic, more of fear, and some muttering to himself.

"Pirates? I've encountered pirates, what should I do now, what should I do? ā€

The sound of panic here immediately attracted the attention of the others next to him, only to hear a sound of tight footsteps in the next room, and then, a door was pushed open, and a man who looked like a merchant hurried out, surprised: "Pirate? Did we meet pirates? ā€

Before Iriomote could say anything, the person who came to report immediately replied: "Yes, my lord, it is likely that there is a group of pirates out there, trying to plunder our merchant ships. ā€

The man did not say anything, hurried back to the room, and in a matter of moments, came out again, and with only a word, he walked straight out with the two sailors.

"Lord Iriomote, protect the princess, I'll go out for a while and see if I can negotiate with those pirates?"

Just as Iriomote of the Ryukyu Kingdom was panicking, the two merchant ships were already traveling side by side, and the cannons on them had already been prepared, and the shells were loaded and ready to be lit, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

On a warship a few hundred meters away from the merchant ship, the leader was the little wolf of the Green Flag Gang. At this moment, with a smug look on his face, he said to himself excitedly: "Damn, Lao Tzu is really lucky, just arrived at the Pearl River, I met two little fat sheep, God help me, haha!" ā€

At this time, a little pirate minion walked over quickly and said quickly: "Brother Wolf, there is a flag over there, and they want to talk to us, as long as we are willing to let us go, they are willing to pay a large sum of silver taels as a toll." ā€

"Damn, these foreigners are really ****** stupid, their heads are really funny, they are surrounded by us, and they still want to talk about conditions? Take them down, everything on board is ours. Even if I agree, would you like to? ā€

As soon as the little wolf's words fell, the surrounding people remembered the voices one after another.

"Of course not, these are two fat sheep!"

"Brother Wolf, what now? Just reply to them like this, either surrender honestly, or go to war? ā€

"No, no, of course you can't reply like that, you're stupid! If they really reply like this, they won't have to fight us to the death! If the brothers are killed and injured too much, how can they explain to the eldest brother? It is a critical time, and our Qingqi gang cannot afford to lose. ā€

The little wolf seemed to have a plan in his chest, and he had already had a countermeasure, showing a wicked smile on his face, and whispered a few words in the little minion's ear, and as the little wolf narrated, the little minion was stunned at first, and then became excited, and gave a thumbs up again and again, and said adoringly: "It is worthy of being the most trusted wolf brother of the gang leader, this plan is really wonderful!" ā€

"Okay, Brother Wolf, I'll do as you say, and let the Flag Whisperer restore them."

The little wolf turned his gaze and looked at the two Ryukyu ships, his face groaning, more proud, and muttering to himself.

"Hehe, look where you run, you can't escape from our hands after all."

On the merchant ship of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the man held a telescope and observed the situation on the water, his face was heavy and dignified.

"Lord Lu, I've replied over there, and it's okay to negotiate. However, we must send someone over to negotiate and give them a satisfactory result. Otherwise, they will go to war, and the big deal will be broken. ā€

"Okay, just do what they say, immediately organize people, and go to negotiate. As long as the silver can afford to pay, we will all agree and let it go. ā€

As this Master Lu said, he always held the binoculars in his hands, looked into the distance, observed the situation on the water, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, his face was full of nervousness, and he was tense.

After a long time, not the slightest echo was heard, and no personnel were seen disembarking and going to negotiate with the pirates. Only then did Lord Lu react, put down the binoculars in his hand, his eyes were cloudy, stared at the people next to him, and asked in a deep voice, "Why haven't you organized human negotiations?" Do you want to put the princess in danger? If the princess makes any mistakes, even if she gets out of her current situation safely, none of you will want to live! ā€

As if he saw the man's worries, his tone changed, and he became much kinder, and said softly: "Don't worry, the country of Shangbang has always said that the two countries will not fight each other. Even if these pirates have been wandering along the coast for a long time, they are still influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and they will not kill the negotiators, so go with peace of mind, your lives will not be in danger. ā€

However, no one moved, still standing there, like an old tree taking root, his head was even lowered, his eyes looked straight at the deck, and he looked like he would not go to beat or scold, and no one believed what he had just said.

At this moment, when Lord Lu was about to get angry, Iriomote hurriedly walked out and asked with a panicked expression, "What's the matter?" The other party agreed, did they agree to negotiate? (To be continued.) )
