Seeing Wang Xijue coming out of Xu Hai's camp, another scholar waiting outside hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother Yuanyu, they are not difficult for you, right?" ”

"Isn't that good?" Wang Xijue said with a smile: "I have to go to Shanghai quickly, please go back immediately and tell Xu Hai's reply to the teacher." ”

The one who is called Ru Mo is Wang Xijue's classmate, called Xu Shixing, they are the two students that Shen Mo admires the most, not only read well, but also enthusiastically participate in political affairs...... It's just that when he arrived at the gate of Xu Haizhai, Xu Shixing was a little stunned, so Wang Xijue asked him to wait outside and go in by himself.

Now seeing that he was going to the next place again, Xu Shixing's face was a little unbearable, and he said, "I'll go." ”

"It's still me, once born and twice cooked, and I know how to deal with these people." Wang Xijue turned over and said, "Go back quickly, the teacher is still waiting for the letter." ”

"Okay then......" Xu Shixing thought about it, and really didn't have the courage to face those evil bandits, so he should say: "Brother Yuanyu take care!" ”

Wang Xijue went to Shanghai, while Xu Shixing returned to Suzhou City and relayed Xu Hai's words to Shen Mo.

The officials present were shocked when they heard this, and said, "My lord, you must not be in danger alone!" That Xu Hai is a giant with superb skills, and it is really too dangerous for you to meet him alone. ”

Silent but nonchalantly smiled: "Do you say 'if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger'?" What's more, it's not a bandit's nest to go to Xu Hai. ”

"My lord, if someone has to go, then let the subordinates go." Gui Youguang got up and said.

"What's the use of you?" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "The entire plan this time is carried out in the name of the governor, and it is reasonable for me to be a representative of the prefect, if the official position is lower, will Xu Hai buy it?" ”

"Then invite him to Suzhou City, at most we promise not to hurt him." There is light and the way.

"He won't say yes." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "If he really comes to Suzhou City, I will definitely arrest him." ”

"Then at least you have to bring a guard, right?" Tie Zhu couldn't help but say loudly: "We swear to protect the safety of our lords!" ”

"Are you a pig's brain?" Shen Mo finally became impatient, and said angrily: "First, how many years has Xu Hai been dealing with the government, can he not know how my Daming treats the captured officials?" Even if the emperor hunts in the north, he will immediately change to a new one, what's the use of him arresting me? What Shen Mo said was that Yingzong was captured by the Mongols in the Tumubao Incident, and the Mongols thought that they could use him to blackmail the Ming Dynasty to do something. Who knew that Yu Qian's group immediately put Emperor Jingtai on the throne, declared Yingzong as the emperor, and refused all the demands of the Mongols...... In the end, I had no choice but to post the money myself and send Yingzong back.

This characteristic of the Ming Dynasty comes from their founder Zhu Yuanzhang, who said that if it is good, it is better to bend than to bend, and if it is bad, it is a scoundrel...... When you were in power, you were the emperor and prime minister, and everyone was afraid that you would respect you and listen to you; But once captured, I'm sorry, it's better to find a stone to die, so as not to lose the face of the ancestral court.

It's not that the Japanese have never caught an official asking for a ransom or asking for the city gate to be opened, but they have never succeeded...... So it's been almost a month since Hai Rui was arrested, and no one has ever come to Suzhou City to contact him.

It is better to catch an official than to catch a rich man with oil and water, this is already a consensus.

"Second, you take me seriously, Xu Hai won't, in his eyes, the governor and governor are the officials equal to him, and my small prefect is not enough to see," Shen Mo smiled: "So he wouldn't have thought that I was pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, and would only treat me as a negotiator, so I wasn't worried about being detained by him." Said Zhengse: "You don't need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind, and I will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

At noon that day, Wang Xijue arrived in Shanghai City, and met Ye Mazi smoothly, and this time according to Shen Mo's request, he directly showed him Wang Zhi's letter.

As expected, Ye Ma was secretly panicked when he saw it, and said in his heart, 'Even the old ship owner has to surrender, it seems that the situation is really not good...... but he was not frightened, of course he would not stop the army, and said in his heart: "Anyway, Xu Hai is the boss, just put the responsibility on him." Then he looked embarrassed: "If I can call the shots, of course I will withdraw immediately, but this kind of thing has to be decided by our big boss." As he spoke, he pointed to the southwest and said, "Our big boss is Xu Hai, the general of the Chatian Pinghai." ”

Wang Xijue nodded slowly, and said unhurriedly: "I'm from Xu Hai, he has already agreed, it's up to Ye to be your family." ”

This is like a thunderclap on the ground, splitting the leaves and hemp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the heart and liver are beating wildly, although there is a gap with Xu Hai, but now that the enemy is present, he still has to count on the wall that shelters him from the wind and rain, but according to what Wang Xiucai said, could it be that Xu Hai is really ready to accept Zhao'an?

The more Ye Ma thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he wanted to promise something, but when he heard a cough coming from behind the curtain, he barely managed to stabilize his divine words: "Take Wang Xiucai to the back to rest, and wait for me to think about it." His subordinates took Wang Xijue down, and with a slight creak behind the curtain, a wheelchair appeared in front of Ye Ma.

"What does Lu Gongzi think about this?" Ye Ma asked in a deep voice.

"Can you believe the words of silence?" Lu Jiji smiled and said: "He is a villain who eats people and does not spit out bones, and he must be calculating you." Speaking of which, the person who hates him the most knows him best, but Ye Ma doesn't believe Lu Ji's words very much, because he feels that this guy who is full of revenge is definitely unwilling to compromise with the government, and it is best to fight to the end.

"From Childe's point of view, of course he will not die." Ye Ma said slowly: "But I have to think about the thousands of brothers under me, if the situation is not good, then it is better for us to withdraw from the army as soon as possible." ”

Lu Ji was very unhappy with Ye Ma's vacillation, so he said: "The owner might as well send someone to Xu Hai and ask him directly!" Why bother thinking here? ”

"Yes," Ye Ma nodded and said, "I'll send someone over overnight, if that Wang Xiucai dares to lie to me, I'll chop him alive!" ”

Lu Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how bad Xu Hai is, he is also a giant on the same level as Wang Zhi, it is impossible to surrender when he says surrender, even if he really says such a thing, it is just playing with the government, at most he wants to get some benefits or something." ”

Ye Ma nodded, took a deep breath and said, "I hope so......" Then he called his younger brother Ye Nan and ordered him to go to Xu Hai overnight to ask what was going on.

Ye Nan is a good and obedient brother, and after receiving the order, he took a few guards and went to Xu Hai in a starry and moon-wearing manner, hurrying all the way, and finally arrived at Tongli Town, where Xu Hai was stationed, the next morning.

As soon as he arrived at the ground, he was discovered by Xu Hai's sentinels...... In other words, Qi Jiguang's harassment is not all bad, at least the vigilance of the small ones has been greatly strengthened, and they are almost to the point where the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

"Hey, this is not Second Master Ye," the little school who led the team said angrily: "If you don't enjoy happiness in Shanghai City, why do you come to our poor country?" "Ye Ma and his group did not save him when they saw death, which made Xu Haijun very angry, and he had too many grievances, so how could he be angry with him now.

Ye Nan frowned and said, "No, no...... I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I'm ...... I want to see you greatly...... Great General. It turned out that this old man was a stammer, and I don't know why Ye Ma chose him to interrogate.

"Hehe, that's not a coincidence." The colonel deliberately teased him and said, "We...... The big general went out. ”

"Go...... Where did you go? Ye Nan's brows furrowed into daisies.

"Then I don't know, our general goes out, and you don't have to report to me." Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Where's the two of you?" Ye Nan asked with difficulty.

"I'm not here, I'm going out with the big boss." Elementary school road.

"And who's there?" That's a good sentence.

"Three masters." Elementary school road.

"He, he also becomes." Ye Nan was about to go inside, but was stopped by the junior colonel and said, "Why are you so unruly, waiting for me to go." ”

"Cheap...... Cheap. Ye Nan scolded, but in the other party's territory, he didn't dare to be wild...... This is exactly the reason why Ye Ma asked him to come, if he changes his temper, he can make something happen if he has nothing to do, which is not conducive to the general direction of unity.

But people just bullied him for his good temper, and he went in slowly, and it took half an hour before he came out and said, "Go in." ”

"How...... This is so long? "The clay people also have three local surnames, not to mention Ye Nanhu.

"Our third master is listening to the music, who dares to disturb until the end." Xiao Xiao flashed and said: "Love can't enter." ”

"I'm ...... Find your third master to judge. Ye Nan went in angrily and saw He Xinyin in the Chinese military tent...... Xu Hong is the second and he is the third, so he is called the third master.

He Xinyin's attitude was just as bad, and he directly pointed his nose at Ye Nan, and said impatiently: "Is there something wrong?" ”

When Ye Nan saw his attitude, he also held back his words of apology, and said sullenly: "My brother asked me to ask...... You, you, you, did you really make peace with the official army? ”

Of course, He Xinyin said without hesitation: "Yes, we didn't hide it from you." ”

"How can you do this?" Ye Nan frowned bitterly and said, "Cooperating with the government, that's not with the tiger...... Skin? ”

He Xinyin pouted and said: "Our sister-in-law is about to give birth, and the eldest wants to be stable in a few days, so he has to take the brothers to change their skins and wear them." ”

"What's so good about that?" Ye Nanda shook his head and said, "How can we grab it if we want to, and kill it if we want to?" ”

"Open your eyes, Ye Bazi," He Xinyin said disdainfully: "What are those years now?" You also don't want to think about why the old shipowner surrendered to the government if there is still a future in this business? ”

"Ah, why?" Ye Nan asked.

"Tell you, now that the sea ban is open, doing business seriously is much better than being a widow." He Xinyin said: "This is the general trend, the era of smashing and looting has passed, if you return to obedience early, the court still has to use a widow or something, it must be for the official and let the leader of the army, and it is not a problem to get a good wife." As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Nan and said, "If you don't know the current affairs, or if you are half a beat slower than others, then you will only be exterminated!" ”

This is too knowledgeable, let Ye Nan hear it, as if he was persuading himself, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became...... This is obviously that Xu Hai and the government have reached an agreement, ready to exterminate them and ask the court for credit!

Ye Nan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and didn't even stammer: "So, you are going to accept Zhao'an?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth!" He Xinyin said in a deep voice: "Today, our big boss and second boss are going to see the prefect of Suzhou, what else do you say?" ”

Ye Nan's face turned white, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment now, he got up like a pins and needles and said, "Okay, I'll tell my eldest brother what you mean, and see what he means." ”

"This is leaving," He Xinyin smiled, "Let's leave after eating?" ”

"No, no, I'm not hungry." Ye Nan was afraid that He Xinyin would detain himself and go out as if he were fleeing.

Of course He Xinyin wouldn't keep him, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he watched Ye Nan leave.

Although He Xinyin was full of nonsense, at least Xu Hai and Xu Hong's whereabouts were right, and his brothers appeared in the reeds of Dianshan Lake with their personal guards and a few fast boats...... This green gauze tent that cannot be seen at the edge is exactly what they dare to rely on to come to see the silence...... If you find something abnormal, you can paddle the boat into the reeds, and you will not be able to find as many people as possible.

But even so, Xu Hai didn't dare to take it lightly, took the Westerner's clairvoyant mirror, and carefully observed the surface of the lake, except for a cruise ship in the middle of the lake, he didn't see anything.

"Everything seems to be working fine." Xu Hong said softly: "Big brother, I'll go over and take a look, if it's okay, you can go out again." ”

"Fart," Xu Hai said in a muffled voice, "If that silence was on the boat, wouldn't it laugh at me for being cowardly?" Saying that, he tightened his belt and said, "Have you forgotten my nickname of 'Hunjiang Little White Dragon' back then?" If there was a problem, I would dive into the water, and no one would try to catch me. ”

"Then big brother be careful." Xu Hong's worship of Xu Hai is very blind, as long as the eldest brother says yes, it will definitely do.

Xu Hai really only took a master dressed as a boatman and rowed a flat boat over.

The boat was not big, and there was a white-faced scholar fishing at the front of the cabin, and a boatman like an iron tower stood behind the cabin, and the cabin was open on all sides, so as to show that there was no one else.

At this time, the lake was quiet, and only the sound of Xu Hai's oars hitting the water was heard. The two boats entered at a different time, and Xu Hai was about to laugh out loud like a sign, but saw Shen Mo turn his head, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture.

Xu Hai had no choice but to muffle back his laughter, and when he saw Shen Mo's hands suddenly lifted, he caught a big perch one and a half feet long.

"Hahaha, Brother Mingshan is really a nobleman, and there will be a big fish on the bait as soon as he comes." Shen Mo punned, but unfortunately only he could understand. With a dashing flick of the rod, he threw the fish to the back of the cabin, and Tie Zhu caught it lightly, and listened to the adult's command: "Make a sea bass and eat it twice." ”

Tie Zhu answered, then rolled up his sleeves and went to work, he was born as a fisherman, so it is natural to be a fisherman.

Shen Mo put the fishing rod on the side of the boat, then got up and hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Mingshan, I have admired the name for a long time, and it is like thunder." "He is a very affinity, always giving people a feeling of spring breeze, no matter who is in front of him, he will always unconsciously get up, is this the legendary personality charm?

Xu Hai was no exception, he hugged his fists and smiled: "Shen Liushou's fame is much more than that. ”

"Then we're all celebrities," Shen Mo said with a smile, "It's time to sit down and have a good chat." He smiled and said, "Am I going to your ship, or am I coming to my ship?" ”

"Let's come to my ship, I brought some food and drinks before I came, and I don't have to work anymore." Xu Hai said with a smile, he wanted to see if Shen Mo had the courage to dare to get on his thief ship...... It is indeed a real thief ship.

To his surprise, Shen Mo agreed without hesitation: "Okay." And he jumped into his boat.

Seeing that Shen Mo simply got on the boat, Xu Hai couldn't help but glance at him in his heart, stretched out his arm and said, "Please inside!" Then he invited Shen Mo into the cabin, and the two sat opposite each other, and served them with wine.

The boatman opened the prepared food boxes, brought the dishes one by one, looked at them silently, and sure enough, he responded to the reckless thief's saying that 'drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces', such as whole chickens, whole ducks, whole geese, pig's heads, ox legs, sheep's elbows, and a big king, a table full of big fish and meat, showing its rough and heroic nature.

Xu Hai took out another basket of wine and said: "Shanxi's Fenjiu, Qinchuan's Xifeng, Sichuan's Jiannanchun, and our Gujinggong in Huizhou, you name it, Lord Shen, please choose at will." Unexpectedly, Shen Mo shook his head and said, "These wines are not in line with our temperament, so it's okay not to drink them." ”
