Although it is the southeast ground, it is the first month after all, and at night, the deep chill will still pass through the walls, door panels, windows, bedding, and finally burrow into the marrow of people. Located in the middle of Shuangyu Island, there is a fortress-shaped building, which is called the castle tower according to Japanese parlance, and is the residence of the chief.

The location is located in the middle of the island, which implies the meaning of controlling the Quartet, which is a manifestation of authority, but at this time, such a location is the biggest irony for the people who live inside. The houses around the castle tower have long been deserted, and around the castle tower, there are a large number of strong men, carrying swords to patrol back and forth. Their eyes were not focused on the outside, but on the inside of the castle tower, and it was clear that this kind of vigilance and precaution was not aimed at the outside of the castle, but only at the people who lived inside the castle tower.

The cold wind penetrated through the crack in the door, making the guests inside cold from their bodies to their hearts. In the huge castle tower, there are few people and there are not many firewoods, even if all the firewood is thrown in, it still makes it cold like an ice cellar.

Several elderly women were crying miserably in the corner, and two widows with their heads combed by the moon sat motionless at the top of the stairs, looking downstairs vigilantly. His hand was clenched on the handle of the knife at his waist, his eyes were cold, and his expression was solemn.

Behind them, there were four carved screens, and bursts of violent coughing came through the screens, causing all of them to sink.

Behind the screen, on a wooden stepping bed in Nanjing, several large beds were tightly covered with the body of an old man, the old man was thin and abnormal, lying there coughing, as if he would be knocked down by the disease at any time, and his soul would return to the underworld. His face was pale and gray, his eyes were deep-set, and his gaze was dull, and he knew at a glance that he was on the verge of running out of oil and running out. In the spittoon beside him, there was half thick phlegm, and there was a disgusting stench in the room.

A simple man in his early thirties with an ordinary appearance was hurriedly bringing the medicine bowl over to feed the medicine, but the old man shook his head, "Binzai, don't bother, my disease can't be cured by medicine." Besides, I don't dare to take the medicine I have caught now, who knows who will be kind enough to give me this old immortal ride and help me relieve my pain. So this medicine, pour it. ”

Xu Yang, the sea king who used to move the two oceans, can now control a small piece of the world in this city, and the few people in front of him. His wife is in his hometown and has not been picked up, and with his wealth, there is no shortage of women around him. Whether it is the meat ticket caught at sea, or the Ji family redeemed in the Qing Building, or the spoils of a certain loot, when the power is great, some people take the initiative to marry their daughters to him.

In short, he has had many women, like these ones, who are all old and decrepit, and they are usually not valued by him at all.

But now those young and beautiful women all go to Zong Yuzi, hoping to rely on their youth or beauty to climb into other men's beds and change their future. Only these women are ugly, even if they want to sell, they may not be able to sell it, so they have to follow him to suffer.

The two Japanese bodyguards named Yuan Hachiro and San Lang Tai are considered to be his confidants, and they can not abandon them at such a time, and they will not pay them such a high monthly salary in vain. As for Xu Bin, a young man who served him to drink medicine, he was relatively stupid and had slow hands and feet, so he had never been treated by him.

Even his nephew is just doing odd jobs in the team, and no one takes him seriously. But now that he has reached this point, he can't even count on his son, but the one who accompanies him is still this honest nephew.

That Xu Dong, who had high hopes for himself, is now on the side of the officials and soldiers? That Oriental woman, now it is estimated that she is still tossing in the bed of Qincha, she has not touched her for more than a year, most of them have long been unable to stand it, and it is strange that she has not come out of the wall this time when she has the opportunity.

He thought hatefully, he wanted to stand up, he wanted to reverse the outcome of the battle in Ningbo, or he wanted to take everything back on the island, but ...... All he could think about was that he couldn't do anything. Even if he wanted to move, he couldn't lift it, and there was a violent cough, and he coughed straight into his eyes, and any ambition was drawn into the east wind and flowing water.

"Who?" Motohachiro broke off and was already half a foot out of the sheath, but quickly put the knife back away. The five or six old men who came in were all seniors of the Xu family's caravan, the old brothers who fought the world side by side with Xu Yang at the beginning, but they were old, and they were increasingly marginalized in the pirate team, and they were not important on the island.

"Owner, the Japanese woman ......"

"Don't mention that woman, woman, water-based flowers, I can think of this kind of thing. But Dong Tsai ......"

These people came over to report to Xu Yang what happened during the day and the changes at night. can be a dragon leader for so long, there is still some power in his hands, even if he has not long lived, there are still people who are willing to use it for him.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Xu Yang only felt that his body was colder, and the cultivation was too hasty this day, and there must be a lot of air leakage. However, this coldness does not seem to come from the outside, but from the heart. The government that gave so many conditions, and its own subordinates, can still hold on? What's more, there is still a large army outside, and the imperial court has mastered the family situation of its own people, even if you don't want to be yourself, you have to think about your family.

After a violent cough, he shook his head, "I...... I'm no longer good, my days are numbered, and you still have a long way to go. Come, take my head away, and change it for your children and grandchildren. Those two widows will not stop you. ”

"Owner, what are you talking about? We are following you out to break into the dock, so many years of everyone came together, if we dare to eat inside and outside, it will be thunder and thunder. We're here to ask you for a word, let's ...... Let's fight him. ”

"That's right, all the jade will be burned, and they will all die together!"

"Together?" Xu Yang's eyes lit up, and even the coughing sound was a little quieter. Until now, he still had a secret force in his hands, including some of the most inconspicuous petty pirates, or some of the smaller leaders of the Centaurs, who ostensibly did not belong to each other, but in reality, they all obeyed his command.

If you launch a raid, maybe ...... Maybe we can all die together. At least for him, even if the attack fails, he has nothing to lose.

"You ...... You still have a long time to go, is it worth it to accompany me to die like this? ”

"Boss Xu, when we came out with you to break into the dock, there was nothing. Now we have everything. What should be eaten, drunk and played, have already been enjoyed, what is not satisfied? Follow you on the road, we are willing, you say a word, we follow you. In the next life, we will follow you to the world. ”

"Good brothers, you are good brothers, Xu Mou has always been sorry for you." Thinking that he had appointed young people over the years, he had become increasingly estranged from the old brothers, and he was willing to help him today, but it was still them, Xu Yang's heart was inexplicably sad. But for the sake of these old brothers, maybe I should go on too.

"Listen, go now, go to these people. Also, there are several gunpowder warehouses on the island, and if you blow them up, the officers and soldiers must think that the talks have collapsed, and they will attack the island immediately, and everyone will be involved at that time, and even if they don't want to fight, they will have no choice. ”

Several old men nodded their heads and carefully noted down the leader's orders, these people had been marginalized by the snow for too long, and they had not been taken seriously for too long. When I got the order this time, it was like the first time I killed someone with a knife, and I had an inexplicable urge in my heart, and even the blood flowed faster than usual.

Just as they were about to take down the order, the gate of the castle tower was slammed open, and the sound of chaotic footsteps rushed upstairs. The two widows shouted angrily, "Red Deer Yelang! Then the gunshots rang out.
