Tang Anshu looked at the refreshments in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu, who were drinking tea and eating snacks on the left.

Le Zhengxian lifted the English teacup, sniffed it, and put it down.

At this time, in the corner of the conference room, a strong man holding that strange weapon and a ring scar on the top of his head said: "Rest assured to eat and drink, I won't poison you, we don't do that." ”

Le Zhengxian nodded, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Didn't you ask your Excellency's name?" ”

The strong man didn't react, Le Zhengxian had to turn to Mint who was standing straight with his empty hands in the other corner, and of course Mint didn't respond to him.

Le Zhengxian was a little embarrassed, so he had to smile, sit down, and glanced at Tang Anshu again.

Just when Tang Anshu raised his glass to drink tea, Wu Sihe put down the cup, glanced at him, and scratched a line on the table with his little finger, Tang Anshu frowned slightly, knowing what he meant, he had discussed it with Liu Luoqu, and he could do it at any time.

This action was seen by Le Zhengxian, and Le Zhengxian hurriedly raised his glass to Wu Sihe and said: "Mr. Wu, I will replace the wine with tea, I will toast you with a glass, your calmness, I have already heard of it, admire and admire." ”

Le Zhengxian's move and this sentence are to warn Wu Sihe not to act rashly.

Just as Wu Sihe wanted to respond to something, the door opened, and Rong Pingye, who was wearing a military uniform, strode in, followed by Xionghuang with an umbrella and a one-eyed man with a Mosin Nagant rifle on his back.

Rong Pingye threw the scrolled chart in his hand on the table: "Le Zhengxian is right, you'd better not act rashly, you four are indeed not mortals, but in this room, no matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than the light machine gun in Kushen's hand." ”

Tang Anshu and the others looked at the monk, knowing that his name was Sophora ginseng, and they also knew that the strange weapon in his hand turned out to be a light machine gun, which they had never seen before.

It was so big that it looked heavy, but it was as easy as holding a feather duster in the monk's hand.

"That thing was American, invented by an American named Lewis, so it was called the Lewis light machine gun, which can hold 47 rounds." Rong Pingye propped up the table and said with a smile, "The most important thing is that that thing can shoot all 47 bullets in the effort you light a cigarette, and it can easily beat a person into meat sauce." ”

Tang Anshu and the others were silent, Rong Pingye shook the chart away, Xionghuang and the one-eyed man stepped forward to press the chart with a paperweight around it, Rong Pingye introduced at the same time: "This one is called Xionghuang, and the other is called Qianliguang." ”

After that, Rong Pingye pointed to the monk and said: "His name is Sophora ginseng, and the one opposite him is called mint, they are all first-class masters, I believe you already know who they are." ”

Trenches. Tang Anshu and the other four had this word in their minds at the same time.

Rong Hirano took off his gloves: "Now, have you completely calmed down?" ”

Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu really calmed down completely at this time, the two pretended to be calm before, but in fact, they were already in the process of exchanging glances, assigning who should deal with whom. Fortunately, Le Zhengxian raised his glass in time, otherwise the two of them would have turned into two rotten corpses full of holes.

Tang Anshu looked at Rong Pingye and said, "Staff Officer Rong, since we don't have a choice, let's get straight to the point, what do you want us to do?" ”

Rong Pingye sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Before I want to send you to the prison, I must first make you popular and make you valuable, because the people in the prison are all valuable people, and the four of you are indeed masters, but you don't actually have any status in the rivers and lakes." ”

Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu were not convinced, but they were helpless, after all, they were under the guns of others.

Le Zhengxian asked: "Then I will thank Staff Officer Rong first, it is indeed difficult to move an inch in the rivers and lakes without fame." ”

Rong Pingye looked at the chart: "So, before that, the four of you will be responsible for helping me capture Wedge Island." ”

Tang Anshu could finally be sure at this time that Shen Qingmeng really wanted to tell him at the beginning that the masterminds behind it were indeed Fu Guodong and Rong Pingye, but at that time he didn't trust Shen Qingmeng at all, so he didn't think too much about it at all, and now that he thinks about it, he does regret it a little.

However, even if he was sure at the time, in the face of this Yongcheng Emperor, in addition to escaping, he could only be captured.

Rong Pingye glanced at Xionghuang: "Tell them about the situation on Wedge Island." ”

Xionghuang leaned the umbrella against the table, and Liu Luoqu subconsciously glanced at the umbrella.

Xionghuang said: "Wedge Island, as the name suggests, is shaped like a wedge, uneven in height from north to south, with pirates' lair in the south and a port in the north. ”

Xionghuang pointed to the chart with his baton: "There is a fortress in the lair on the top of the mountain in the south, which is also an anti-Qing fortress left in the late Ming Dynasty in the early years, but it is not as strong as the prison on Snake Heart Island, and it is not impossible to capture it, the most troublesome thing is that there are five forts on it, in addition to the Shenwei cannons left by the Qing Dynasty, there are also five British-made 18-pounder guns." ”

"What's that? 18 lbs...... Cannon? Wu Siyi was confused, "What is that?" Why is it called 18 pounds? ”

Tang Anshu and Liu Luoqu were also puzzled, and Le Zhengxian explained beside him: "The pound is the British unit of weight, which is the same as what we call the catty, 18 pounds should be almost 16 catties when converted, and the 18-pound gun means that the weight of the shells fired by this cannon is 16 catties." ”

After listening to Le Zhengxian's explanation, Tang Anshu and the three of them understood what it meant.

Xionghuang said: "It's almost what he said, although the 18-pounder cannon in the hands of the pirates is an old thing bought from foreigners, but the power cannot be underestimated, even if they have limited shells, we can't directly attack the island, which will cause huge casualties." ”

Tang Anshu understood: "What does Staff Officer Rong mean, let's go and blow up those five cannons?" ”

Xionghuang looked at Rong Pingye, who was drinking tea, and Rong Pingye put down his cup: "Not only that, you also need to kill the sea snake, preferably at the same time, so that the pirates on Wedge Island will fall into complete chaos, and then we can easily capture Wedge Island." ”

After Rong Pingye finished speaking, Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe both looked at Tang Anshu, while Le Zhengxian lowered his head and thought, after all, this kind of thing is what Tang Anshu is good at, wait to see what he says.

Tang Anshu thought for a while and asked, "Staff Officer Rong, is Wedge Island so important to Fu Dashuai?" I don't think your goal is Wedge Island, but Snake Heart Island. ”

Rong Pingye was silent, just looked at Tang Anshu.

Tang Anshu got up and pointed to the nautical chart and said: "Judging from the nautical chart, the distance between Wedge Island and Snake Heart Island is very close, but the distance between Snake Heart Island and Yongcheng is very far, you want to use Wedge Island as a springboard to attack Snake Heart Island." ”

Rong Pingye still didn't say a word, and Le Zhengxian also got up and pointed to the map: "From Yongcheng Wharf to Wedge Island, it takes at least three days to get downwind, and it takes five days to get to Snake Heart Island at the earliest, but from Wedge Island to Snake Heart Island, as far as I know, as long as you follow the current, you can get there in one day at the earliest, and the current behind Wedge Island can directly take the boat to the weakest place in the rear of Snake Heart Island." ”

Rong Pingye had a smile on his face: "The two of them are really smart, Brother Anshu is worthy of being Hu Shen's disciple, and Brother Xian is worthy of being a spy in the Dark Ear for so many years." ”

Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian glanced at each other, and after Le Zhengxian nodded silently and sat down, Tang Anshu said categorically: "It's impossible to do." ”

Rong Hirano picked up the teacup: "Why?" ”

Liu Luoqu said disdainfully: "What the Rong staff officer of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and known as the Guangmu Heavenly King can't do, how can we do it?" ”

Rong Pingye said coldly: "Who said I can't do it? ”

Wu Sihe said expressionlessly: "If you can do it, why are you looking for us?" ”

"Value, in order to highlight and reflect your value." The corners of Rong Pingye's mouth rose on one side, "Only in this way can I send you to prison, otherwise Sun San will be suspicious." ”

Liu Luoqu said with a smile: "That's not as good as this, Staff Officer Rong, you have an idea, we just have to do it." ”

Liu Luoqu's words made Rong Pingye's face change greatly, Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian also couldn't help laughing, knowing that Liu Luoqu was tantamount to invisibly slapping Rong Pingye.

After a long time, Rong Pingye suppressed the fire and said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, if the outside world knows that the idea is mine, are the four of you still valuable?" ”

What did Liu Luoqu say again, Wu Sihe touched him, Liu Luoqu had to shut up, Wu Sihe knew that one slap was enough, and another time Liu Luoqu might have to die on the spot.

Tang Anshu stared at the sea chart and said: "The news that Fu Dashuai wants to suppress the pirates has been released, the sea snake must have taken precautions, plus fighting in their territory, the pirates rely on the sea for food, it is difficult for us to sneak in, let alone assassination and destruction." ”

Rong Pingye said unhurriedly: "If there is no difficulty, it will not reflect your value, give you a day to discuss countermeasures, what do you want to eat and drink, and greet the soldiers at the door." ”

After speaking, Rong Pingye strode away, and Qianliguang walked to the window, pointed outside, and pointed to Tang Anshu and a few people, and then left.

The last to leave realgar nodded to the last bitter ginseng and mint in the room, and closed the door.

Liu Luoqu turned his head and asked, "What did that one-eyed dragon mean just now?" ”

Le Zhengxian looked outside and said, "That guy is a sharpshooter, he means that he will be watching us outside." ”

Liu Luoqu got up and looked outside: "Can he hit us so far away?" ”

"Yes." Tang Anshu looked down at the map, "Because I can do it." ”

After Tang Anshu said this, not only Liu Luoqu, Wu Sihe and Le Zhengxian all looked at him, but even the bitter ginseng and mint in the rear were also surprised.

Sophora and Mint glanced at each other, Mint hurriedly shook his head at Sophora, but Sophora didn't pay attention to him and asked, "Hey, your name is Tang Anshu, right?" ”

Tang Anshu nodded: "Yes, what advice do you have?" ”

"Sophora!" Mint got up, a little angry.

Sophora raised his hand to signal Mint not to be angry, and then asked Tang Anshu with a smile: "Do you know that a few nights ago, on Xingang Beach, two fools were beaten to death by someone who took Hanyang to a hundred meters away. ”

"Yes." Tang Anshu said lightly, "What I did was less than 100 meters." ”

Sophora held the Lewis light machine gun, still smiling: "At night, under the premise of only a glimmer of light, you killed two people with two bullets, and they were all critical, you are very powerful." ”

Tang Anshu smiled slightly: "It's just luck." ”

Sophora nodded: "I don't think you can be better than Senecio, his best record is two hundred and sixty meters." ”

Hearing this, Tang Anshu, Liu Luoqu, Wu Sihe and Le Zhengxian were all shocked, if Kushen didn't brag, that Qianliguang should be the best person they knew about marksmanship so far.

Tang Anshu said: "Awesome, admire." ”

Sophora smiled, smiled innocently, and then looked at Mint like a child, as if to say: How is it? I'll just say he's not as good as Senecio, right?

Mint took a breath and frowned at Tang Anshu and the others.

These people don't seem to be as cold-blooded as they say. The previous conversation with Sophora Sophora made Tang Anshu have this thought, and he subconsciously glanced at Mint again, but Mint gave him a blank look and looked out the window.

Tang Anshu smiled, this girl is really interesting.
