However, just as Zhou Zhong was preparing to go home for the New Year, on the edge of a cliff on the southeast side of the Beigang District of Shuangyu Port, several men dressed as Japanese people were carrying huge burdens and slowly walking along the rugged mountain road. This mountain cliff is craggy and rocky, and the surrounding area is even more inaccessible, and the sea is full of reefs under the cliff, and it is impossible to sail at all, so whether it is on land or sea, it is difficult to get close to here.

This group of Japanese people were all young men in their twenties and thirties, and each of them carried a Japanese sword, and his body was full of fierceness. The first person did not carry a burden and a weapon like other Japanese people, but walked empty-handed, wearing the clothes of a Ming person, if it were not for his short stature and the strange Japanese hairstyle on his head, I am afraid that people would really mistake him for a Ming man.

The group walked halfway up the cliff, then through a bush, and actually followed a very hidden mountain and stone path to the bottom of the cliff, and then walked forward along the uneven mountain rocks for dozens of meters, and finally came to a relatively flat place under the cliff, and the leader took out a strange whistle from his arms, and then blew out three long and three short codes, and then looked up to the upper side.

I saw that just above where the group of Japanese people were standing, there was a hole more than one person high on the stone wall of the cliff, and the people in the cave heard the secret signal below, and immediately someone poked their heads out and looked at the lower part of the mountain, and then put down a large basket hanging with a rope from above, and the Japanese people below first put the burden on their bodies into the basket and hung it, and then these people also sat down the basket to the hole in the stone wall of the cliff.

Although the entrance of the cliff cave is not big, but when you enter the cave, you will find that the space inside is quite large, only to see that the whole cave is about two zhang high, and the depth is at least five or six zhang, and in the open space in the middle of this cave, there is a circle of quilts and mattresses, several Japanese people sit there, are boringly wiping the Japanese knives in their hands.

"Shangquan-kun, I haven't seen you for many days, have you always been good?" As soon as the leader of the Japanese people dressed as a wise man entered the cave, he immediately smiled and smiled at one of the Japanese people sitting in the cave.

I saw that this Japanese man known as "Shangquan-kun" was strong, with a big cake face on his stubby neck, slender broom eyebrows, and eyes full of horizontal meat. In fact, this Shangquan-kun is indeed not a good person, he is the leader of the Chamber of Commerce who escaped from the chaos when Zhou Zhong and them destroyed the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce before.

After Shangquan Hongji escaped, he went to hide in this cave that he had prepared for a long time, and they sent people to search the seaside for many days, and there were people who had been here, but because the location of the cave was too secret, it was impossible to see it from the cliff, so no one found it.

Koji Kamiizumi, who was full of flesh, saw the Japanese man wearing Mingren's clothes who came in, but he snorted coldly and said: "It turned out to be Ise-kun, didn't you already say last time that you would only help me once, and you don't want to see me again in the future, why did you come to see me again today?" ”

This Japanese man dressed in Ming people's clothes is named Iselikang, and he is the leader of the Beigang Ise Chamber of Commerce, at the beginning, he and Shangquan Hongji, as well as Park Yuanjiang of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, forced Sanniang and Uncle Camel together, I thought that I could take a bite from the declining Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect that after Zhou Zhong appeared, he destroyed the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Sangquan Chamber of Commerce as soon as he made a move, and fortunately, Iselikang did not participate in human smuggling, so he was spared.

Kamiizumi Hongji waited in the cave until the limelight passed, and then sent someone to quietly find Iselikang, hoping to take revenge with the help of the other party's strength, especially Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, who were the initiators of the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, were the main targets of his revenge. However, Iselicon saw that the strength of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family was too strong, so he didn't want to provoke the other party at all, but for the sake of his friendship with Kamizumi Hongji, he reluctantly helped the other party a little favor, and also hoped that Kamizumi Hongji would no longer look for himself, which caused Kamizumi Hongji to be very dissatisfied with him.

Seeing that Koji Kamiizumi didn't seem to welcome him, Ishiyasu didn't care, but walked to the other party with a smile and sat down and said, "Kamiizumi-kun, we have been old friends for more than ten years, and I lent you the boat last time, so you can send the situation here back to Fuso, so I can be regarded as a friend!" ”

Speaking of this, Iserikan raised his hand and signaled to the people behind him, and the people he brought immediately opened the baggage he brought, took out the wine and food inside, and put it in front of the two of them. I saw that Ise-kan personally poured a glass of wine for Koji Kamiizumi and said: "Ise-kun, the reason why I refused your request for revenge last time was actually a last resort, after all, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family and the Hong family joined forces, not to mention me, even the strongest Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce would not dare to provoke them, so I hope you can understand!" ”

Seeing that Ise-yasu toasted himself and made amends, and Koji Kamiizumi also saw that the other party came to him in person this time, there must be something to discuss with him, so he also forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, picked up the wine glass and drank it all and said: "Okay, Ise-kun, please say what you have to say, I don't like others to talk in circles!" ”

Iselikang also understands the temperament of Shangquan Hongji, and now seeing that he is willing to drink, he is happy at the moment, and then he goes straight to the point: "Okay, Shangizumi-kun is really still so bold, I came to you this time, in fact, I was entrusted by someone, and I want to discuss a big matter with Shangizumi-kun, as long as you are willing to do it, I dare to guarantee that there will definitely be a place for Shangquan brother in Shuangyu Port in the future!" ”

"Shuangyu Port?" Shangquan Honger smiled coldly after hearing this, "I not only offended the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also was hunted down by almost all the Ming Chamber of Commerce, now all I can do is wait for the domestic ship in Fusang to pick me up, and then leave here, either go back to Fusang and starve to death, or become a pirate and wander around, how can it be possible to return to Shuangyu Port again?" ”

Shangquan Hongji has a very clear understanding of his situation, human trafficking has made him offend most of the Ming smugglers, and it is impossible for him to stay in Shuangyu Port in the future anyway, and even these days he is already thinking about where to go to be a pirate?

"Of course it is possible, although Shuangyu Port is now the most powerful businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the key is that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, the Xie family and the Hong family have the greatest power, and they have always been not very friendly to our Fusang people, so with their three powerful forces, it is easy to unite the Ming businessmen, forcing us to do things according to their rules, but if these three can be removed, then the Ming businessmen have no leader, plus the Ming people like the character of infighting, and then add our support, Who cares about pursuing Kamiizumi-kun? Iselican explained with a smile.

"Get rid of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family and the Hong family? Just us? Although Koji Kamizumi looks fierce and rude, he is not a fool, and now when he hears Iserikang say that he wants to get rid of three of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, he naturally doesn't believe it at all, and even looks at Iselicon with an idiot look.

However, Iselikang was not angry at all, only to see him pick up the wine jug again and pour wine for Kamizumi Hongji and himself, and then sat up straight and explained: "Of course we are not their opponents of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but Shangizumi-kun, you also know that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has already dispersed, and the last thing is that Zhou Hai's son Zhou Chong came back, so that the entire Chamber of Commerce was integrated again, and when the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan-kun Chamber of Commerce were destroyed, this person was also the most core person, if this person could be removed, Then Kamiizumi-kun can not only avenge himself, but also make the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce fall into division again. ”

Hearing that Ise-kun finally told the purpose of this trip, Koji Kamiizumi sneered: "I see, Ise-kun came to see me today, but he just wanted to use me as a sword envoy to help you get rid of the big trouble of Zhou Zhong!" ”

Seeing that Kamizumi Hongji was so shrewd and saw through his purpose at a glance, Iselikang didn't even blush, but still smiled and said: "Shangizumi-kun, don't say it so ugly, we all take what we need, we will help you avenge it, and we will help you gain a foothold in Shuangyu Port again in the future, and Shangizumi-kun, you only need to exert a little strength to kill Zhou Chong, this is a very cost-effective deal!" ”

Koji Kamiizumi actually knows that he has no way to refuse Iserikan's request, first, he has nothing now, and he can't refuse the conditions given by the other party at all, and he is hiding here like a mouse now, and those people in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce still haven't given up arresting him, in case he doesn't agree, if Iselicone betrays himself, then his fate will be extremely miserable.

Thinking of this, I saw that Kamizumi Hongji finally gritted his teeth, and the horizontal flesh on his face also jumped a few times, and finally spoke: "Okay!" I did this, but I want to know, you keep saying 'we', so who else is this 'we' besides you? ”

Koji Kamiizumi knows Iselicone very well, and if he doesn't have a strong supporter behind him, he will never come to him. Now Koji Kamiizumi wants to know who is the person behind Iserikan, and whether he has the strength to fulfill his promise to himself?

Regarding this question of Kamizumi Hongji, I saw Iselikang smile lightly and said: "The Ming merchants are unanimously xenophobic, we Fuso people want to survive in Shuangyu Port, naturally we can't just know the infighting, although the positions are different before, so there may be some conflicts, but under the squeeze of the Ming merchants, everyone can only abandon their prejudices and unite together, so as to defeat those powerful Ming merchants!" ”

Although Iserikan didn't answer explicitly, Koji Kamiizumi had already understood, and pointed at the other party with some shock at the moment: "You...... You're actually united with the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce? ”

"Shangquan-kun, for the sake of interests, enemies can also become friends, Zhou Zhong is ruthless, we must not keep him, and even if there is a chance, the shrewd young lady of the Xie family cannot stay!" Iselicon's eyes sparkled with coldness, and he looked like a hungry wolf who chose to devour people.
