The middle-aged man named Jiang Chengbi and the four entourages spoke respectfully, dressed neatly, and did not look like a bit of gangsterism, but like a steward or servant of a big family. Jiang Chengbi was not overly surprised when he was ridiculed by Zhu Ling'er, his eyes were still clear and his face was as usual, as if he had made a premeditated test of Zhu Linger's identity.

Yang Zhi and the others stayed on North Changshan Island for one night, and were found by Jiang Chengbi, who was sent by Mu Wang, the leader of the third pirate group. It can be inferred from this that even if they don't stay on North Changshan Island, they will definitely catch up before they return to Penglai.

Behind this special invitation, Yang Zhi felt Mu Wang's strength: Jiang Chengbi not only arrived at the killing scene at that time before Yingniang and Xiong Zhan's men, but also found the surviving living mouth and asked about the situation at that time. After asking Mu Wang for instructions, he found Yang Zhi in less than three days on a large ship with a speed much lower than that of a small boat. Doing this in the middle of the ocean is amazingly efficient! Those who can form their own forces in troubled times are talents that should not be underestimated!

Jiang Chengbi admitted calmly: "My master is Mu Gongzi, and I hope that Master Hou can give my master a few thin noodles and let him go with the villain." ”

As far as Yang Zhi understands, this invitation was a dilemma given to him by Mu Wang. If you are invited, you don't know anything about the background and strength of the other party, and it is difficult to predict what will happen. If you refuse not to go, you will give people a pretext or a cowardly pretext.

Yang Zhi chose to start from the Beiyan Sea area, and the general tone set was to use both grace and power, and suppress and appease. The two sides have not yet had a head-on conflict, and Mu Wang has heard of his name again, so he should not take the liberty of provoking him. And Yang Zhi has no need to be an enemy at the moment, and there is no need to encircle him for the time being.

The two of them have been in Japan for a long time, and they will inevitably meet and deal with each other in the future, but it is by no means now: "I have been out to sea with a few Sui Cong for several days, and an unpleasant little incident happened during the cruise, and I was already tired. Please tell Mu Gongzi that I can only appreciate his kindness. ”

Jiang Chengbi was stunned when he heard this, hugged his fists and smiled: "My master heard that Hou Ye is wise and brave. Only then did I sincerely invite the Hou Ye to get together. Why does Hou Ye refuse people thousands of miles away? Do you have any scruples about my master? ”

These words were both exciting and exciting, which made Yang Zhi very uncomfortable to hear, and frowned slightly: "I act but I want to do what I want, how others will see it." I've never cared too much. For Yu Gong, I am the Marquis of the Flying Tiger of Great Xia, and Mu Gongzi is just a hero on the sea. Privately, I don't know Mu Gongzi and I have never met. In one way or another. Even if I have scruples about Mu Gongzi, it's normal, and it seems that I can't talk about whether I should give him face or not for the time being. ”

"If I have to say anything, it's that I want to make friends, but I'm not afraid of anyone against me. Who to meet, when to meet, how to meet, I have my own opinions, and I don't need to arrange it for Mu Gongzi and Zun Driver. Leave! ”

Although Yang Zhi euphemistically said that he had no intention of being an enemy of Mu Wang, his posture was very tough. It doesn't matter what Jiang Chengbi is thinking there. Waving his hand, the crowd followed him aboard the ship and set sail.

Zhu Ling'er followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, will these people be unfavorable to us on the way back?" ”

Yang Zhiman said nonchalantly: "A person with a brain is usually not a mad dog that bites someone when he sees it. Do they have to do this? Do they dare? ”

It is not clear whether the two sides will be friends or foes in the future. This place is only dozens of miles away from Penglai by water, and Jiang Chengbi really doesn't need to take this risk. Even if they really dared to do it, Yang Zhi was not afraid.

Zhang Bohu shook his head again and again and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yang, people like you, anyone who sees them will have a headache." This Jiang Chengbi went back to report it, and Mu Wang was afraid that he couldn't cry or laugh. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, in fact, I am not as evil as you say. As long as a person remembers his surname anytime and anywhere, there is nothing in this world that he can't figure out. ”

After boarding the ship and lifting anchor. Zhang Bohu asked, "Brother Yang, what are you going to do next?" ”

Yang Zhi replied: "In my opinion, Mu Wang is much more difficult than that widow and Xiong Zhan. The general direction is, of course, to stabilize Mu Wang first, watch from the sidelines, and ruthlessly suppress Yingniang and Xiong Zhan. I'm going to do it in two steps: the first step. The secret land stronghold of the three pirates on the front line of Penglai must have been figured out by Brother Qin and Mr. Yi. There must be a secret collusion between the local government and the pirates, and I am ready to call in the Great Xia soldiers. Leave Mu Wang's family unmoved for the time being, and sweep away the land dens of Yingniang and Xiong Zhan in one fell swoop! ”

"Three days ago, I accidentally encountered a battle, which has the effect of killing a hundred people, and I also took the opportunity to show the font size. It was a fluke. We have no power at sea at the moment, and it makes little sense to risk and fight hard like that. So the second step is to hit the snake first, and try to meet Yingniang and Xiong Zhan directly as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Bohu thought for a moment and muttered, "What Brother Yang said is very true. But the suppression of Yingniang and Xiong Zhan must be different, and the grasp of the priorities needs to be considered in the long run, otherwise it will be self-defeating to beat the two of them into one. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I have already thought of this section. After sweeping away the land dens of the two families, I avoided Xiong Zhan at sea first, trying not to provoke him as much as possible, and only single-mindedly chose Yingniang's men and horses to beat the killer to death. In this way, even if Xiong Zhan helps Yingniang, he will only save his strength and deal with it, and will not help with all his might. ”

Zhang Bohu frowned and said, "I don't agree with Brother Yang. It is rumored that although Xiong Zhan's ships and subordinates are far inferior to Yingniang, the reason why he can fight against him at sea is all because of his bravery. If Xiong Zhan can be subdued first, Yingniang and a woman may be able to surrender without a fight. ”

"Brother Zhang, you just said the opposite." Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Yingniang is said to be from a pirate family, and she can stand out and be promoted as the leader, what kind of good fruit do you think this widow is?" Women are not only naturally more attentive than men, but they are also more ruthless than men. No matter how brave Xiong Zhan is, because there are not many ships and subordinates, the scope and influence of his activities are far inferior to Ying Niang. Only by subduing the widow first, and then squeezing Xiong Zhan's living space with all his might, can Xiong Zhan be forced to surrender without a fight. I think this is the most labor-saving and effective strategy, what does Brother Zhang think? ”

"Maybe." Zhang Bohu absentmindedly diverted the topic and said, "I'm thinking, I don't know how Mu Wang will respond?" Will everything be as Brother Yang expected? ”

The group returned to Penglai at the beginning of the afternoon, which was the ninth day of November, and Yang Zhi's original five-day trial schedule was only postponed by one day.

The first thing Qin Jiaoyang said when he met Yang Zhi was: "Brother Yang, you came back just in time." This morning, Mrs. Sister-in-law brought a letter from Chang'an again! ”

When Shen Yuyuan wrote a letter to Yang Zhi in Luzhou, he was known for writing more than ten pages of long treatises on trivial matters, and now he will be a mother, presumably this feature has become even more intensified. Due to the weight limit of carrier pigeons, the so-called family letter is still a small note two fingers wide.

Yang Zhi had a warm smile on his face, and when he opened it, he was stunned. is still Shen Yu's familiar handwriting, or only a concise sentence: surnamed Yang! You're going to be a dad again!

Why say "again"? …… Could it be that the power of a shot after being drunk is so accurate?! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
