"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As soon as Mu Ke walked out of the hall with a knife and a person, he saw a tall man in heavy armor and a tubular weapon in his hand, chasing the family's guards and killing them.

The weapon in the man's hand was very strange, every time there was a fire, the family guards who ran away in front of him wearing leather armor would fall down seven or eight, and Mu Ke even saw that there were people who were hit alone, and the entire upper body was blown away, and the one who died was called a miserable one.

Behind the tall man, there were thousands of masked men armed with smaller, longer-barreled weapons, chasing and killing the others.

These people are organized and disciplined, and when fighting, they will subconsciously line up in formation, and anyone who dares to resist with weapons in hand will be killed on the spot, regardless of men, women, and children.

In the whole process of standing and fighting, there are no bandits and thieves at all, and people with a little military experience can see at a glance that these people are not bandits but the army, and they are also elite troops.

These people also have a very special method of killing, they do not fight hand-to-hand with the people of the family, but raise the long-barreled weapon in their hand and point it at the person who is going to attack.

With just a flash of fire and a sound, the person who was pointed at fell down screaming.

"This weapon is so familiar, big brother, I seem to remember that the weapons of the Ming army are like this."

Bayi, who was beside him, looked at the tribesmen who were being hunted down, looked at the strange weapon in the enemy's hand, and grabbed Mu Ke beside him in shock.

Although his brain is a little worse than that of his eldest brother, he is not a fool.

This kind of strange weapon, he has only seen it in the Ming army.

What does this mean, this shows that these robbers who attacked the family in front of them are absolutely inseparable from the Ming army in the Gulf of Aden.

Although there were also flintlock pistols on the Western side, he had heard of that kind of gun, as if it had to be loaded with gunpowder from the front.

And the bandits in front of him, when using these gun-like weapons, did not charge from the front at all, but charged from the back like the Ming army he saw.

"Stop!"

Mu Ke ignored him, looked at the clansmen and guards who were being hunted down, took a deep breath and roared.

But no one paid any attention to him, and the masked bandits continued to hunt down the armed men.

Although they are pirates on the outside, they are regular troops at heart, and once the battle begins, they will not stop until the order from their superiors to stop or the enemy surrenders.

"Father, I'll lead someone to stop them, you go quickly."

Muke's adopted son, Amati, saw that the family's guards couldn't stop these people at all, and knew that the family might not be able to escape today, so he thought of blocking the enemy with his own body, and let his adoptive father and biological father flee with his family first, and then avenge him when he had the opportunity to avenge him later.

"Lay down your arms!"

Scanning the entire scene, Mu Ke frowned, dragged back his adopted son who was about to rush up, and then gave an order that stunned everyone around him.

"Father!"

"Big brother, you're crazy!"

"Head of the house!"

The people around him exclaimed, looking at Mu Ke in disbelief.

In their minds, Mu Ke is a tough and ruthless person, and he is also a person who dares to fight.

Today, the family is in crisis, and with what they know about Mu Ke, Mu Ke will either lead the family members to fight to the death, or leave some people to block the other party, and retreat into the secret room or leave with the main members of the old and young women and children.

It is believed that they had never thought about it, but it was not until Muk would give the order for everyone to lay down their weapons.

The enemy has already entered the house, and the clansmen are being slaughtered by the enemy, so if you lay down your weapons at this time, isn't that looking for death?

If it weren't for the head of the house in front of them, who hadn't left their sight for the past few days, they would all suspect that the head of the house in front of them might have been transferred.

"I'll say it one last time, lay down your arms!"

Mu Ke glanced coldly at the people around him, and then, under the stunned expressions of everyone, he raised his weapons in both hands and strode forward in a surrender form.

"Your Highness, look!"

In the crowd, the monkey who was following the assault team grabbed Zhu Zhangui, who was directing the soldiers to fight, and pointed to Mu Ke, who raised his hand and surrendered.

"This man is a bit bold, but he's also very smart."

Looking at Mu Ke who walked over with a knife in his hand under everyone's stunned expressions, a flash of appreciation flashed in Zhu Zhangui's eyes.

"Stop!"

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand and gave the order to stop the attack.

The order was forbidden, and the marines who were killing frantically stopped shooting in an instant, quickly found a vantage point, and aimed at the people of the Aturu family who were retreating opposite, waiting for the next order.

"Your Excellency on the other side, I already have a guess in my heart about your identity, but don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, please ask your leader to come out and talk, I have important things to discuss!"

Coming to the middle of the two parties, Mu Ke put the knife in his hand on the ground, and then patted his body, indicating that he was not carrying other weapons, and then stretched out his hand to sincerely invite Zhu Zhangui to come out to talk.

"Your Highness, I'll go!"

The monkey was afraid of any danger, so before Zhu Zhangui's body moved, he recommended himself to go out.

Zhu Zhangui did not stop either.

The battlefield is not a place of willfulness, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be killed by the enemy, and the so-called gentleman's covenant is a fart in the chaotic battlefield.

As long as they can defeat each other, the two sides will definitely conspire in various ways, and even send a random person to pretend to surrender, and invite the commander of the other side to come out and assassinate.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui has a dark psychology, and he thinks of the enemy as the same person.

On the battlefield of wartime, in order to achieve victory, the commanders of both sides used countless dark and despicable means.

The generals who were killed by these conspiracies and tricks can be lined up from the Nai He Bridge to the Ghost Gate, so they must take a look at the battlefield and be careful.

"I'm the third leader of the Ocean Free Trade Group, you old boy has something to say, and if you have a fart, let it go!"

The monkey's chin was slightly raised, and his face was full of arrogance to reveal his identity.

The translator next to him also said this in a very pretentious tone.

The two monkeys looked so arrogant, and the people behind Mu Ke who saw it gritted their teeth for a while.

Since the disintegration of the Arabs, no one has dared to speak so in front of their Aturu family.

That is, it is inferior to people now, if it is placed in normal times, without waiting for the obscene guy in front of him to finish speaking, he will be dragged out by the family guards and skinned and dried.

Mu Ke didn't care about the monkey's tone, but stroked his chest very politely and saluted.

"It turns out to be Your Excellency the Three Masters, my name is Muke, and I am the patriarch of the Atulu family. I want to make a deal with you, I don't know if it's an honor. ”

After listening to the translator's translation, the monkey glanced at Mu Ke with a strange expression, and then laughed with his smile on the shoulders of the translator next to him.

"Oh my God, I'm laughing to death, it's this time, he still wants to make a deal with me, is he scared stupid, or is your kid translating wrong."

The interpreter, who was supported by the monkey, spread his hands.

"It may be that the kid is not good at learning and has the wrong translation, of course, it is also possible that this old boy was stupid and talked nonsense."

"Hahaha..."

The two laughed.

Although he couldn't understand what the two were saying, Mu Ke knew in his heart that it shouldn't be a good thing.

But he didn't care, as long as he could achieve the purpose in his heart, what would happen if he was ridiculed.

It is not smooth sailing for any king, as long as he can complete the act of reaching the top, he can accept any humiliation.

"Well, tell him that the joke is over, and now let him hand over all the treasures of the family, and I can spare his life for the sake of amusing me."

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, the monkey patted the interpreter on the shoulder and told him to give him an ultimatum.

After listening to it, the translator said to Mu Ke.

"My family has three gold mines, and the gold produced every year cannot be pulled out by 10 cars, and the gold is stored in a special place, only I, the head of the family, know!"

didn't care about the monkey's ridicule and ridicule, Mu Ke unhurriedly burst out of his confidence.

Now it's a matter of life and death, judging from the temperament of the person who stood up, the leader on the opposite side should still be behind.

Mu Ke didn't want to talk nonsense with the little person in front of him, and directly told the pirates who were on guard behind him his confidence.

A few minutes later, the Aturu Family Hall.

"You're so bold!"

Zhu Zhangui sat in Mu Ke's position, playing with a golden camel ornament in his hand, and looked at Mu Ke standing below with a chuckle.

Muk was right.

Anything else may not be able to impress Zhu Zhangui, but the shining gold can definitely fish Zhu Zhangui out.

Zhu Zhangui, who was originally watching the play on the sidelines, almost burst into gold on the spot when he heard that the other party had three gold mines and had stored a large amount of gold over the years.

Nima, three big gold mines, a hundred years of storage, how much should this be?

My dream of a bed made of gold is finally coming true.

"My lord, it's too much! If it were someone from the Ottoman Empire or someone from the Timurid Empire, I would not compromise with it even if my whole family died in battle. ”

"These two forces have no integrity at all, maybe I expose my hole cards with the first kick, and the back foot will be killed by these greedy guys."

"And your lord, you are different, you are from the Ming Dynasty, a few years ago, I heard about the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire in the Asan region, and I also investigated it for this purpose."

"The Ming Dynasty, where the adults are, advocates Confucian culture, emphasizes morality and integrity, and once they are good friends, they can really believe it, so I choose to gamble."

"If you accept me, my lord, you will get not only those three gold mines and countless gold, but also the allegiance of the Aturu family for generations, and greater benefits."

Zhu Zhangui opened his mouth to speak Arabic, which made Mu Ke breathe a sigh of relief.

The two languages do not speak the same language, and it is easy to have problems by relying on translation.

If a sentence is not translated well, and the original good words become bad words, then the lives of his whole family will be gone, and his future dreams will have no chance to come true.

"Tell me what you want!"

Since he stood up to meet the other party, Zhu Zhangui didn't say any nonsense, and directly confronted the other party.

Although Zhu Zhangui is not a person who values integrity, as long as the other party can get the interests he likes, it is not impossible to give the other party a chance.

The Ming Dynasty had no plans to conquer the West for the time being, but it had to prepare in advance to prevent the West from becoming strong under the influence of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty to unite a strong West.

So the West must be in chaos.

But the Ottoman Empire was indeed very strong, and with a single Mamluk, Zhu Zhangui was worried that it would not be able to defeat the Ottoman Empire.

The population of the Principality of Ryazan is too small, and if it is sustained, it can only contain the Golden Horde, and it will take a little time to disrupt the order of the West.

Therefore, it is very necessary to re-cultivate a dog, completely disrupt the peace situation in the West, and drag the Ottoman Empire to the death with the Mamluks, or directly drag it to death.

Zhu Zhangui's initial idea was to disrupt the West as a pirate.

But this method requires the assistance of the Ming side, and it is the Ming people who pay the effort and casualties.

Just today at noon, his mind changed for a new time.

That is, first use the identity of a pirate to disturb the whole of Oman, and then support his cousin Amo to stand up and establish a pirate group dominated by Arabs, replace the pirate group of the Ming Dynasty, and disrupt the entire West.

In this way, the Ming only needs to pay money and weapons, and does not need to send a single soldier, which can make the entire West chaotic.

But just now, Zhu Zhangui changed his mind again.

He had a good idea in the morning, but his cousin didn't look smart.

Zhu Zhangui is worried that his cousin's IQ may not only fail to complete the task he handed in, but will also put his own life into it.

The moment Mu Ke stood up just now, Zhu Zhangui felt that this old man was a thoughtful person.

And the fact that the family has so much money can still be triggered, which is enough to prove that this old guy is scheming.

The old guy Mu Ke stood up, although he didn't say why he surrendered, but Zhu Zhangui could guess a rough idea.

They are all thousand-year-old weasels, and whoever puts a stinky fart will know it as soon as they smell it.

"I want to get the help of the Ming Dynasty to get those powerful weapons, and I want to ask you to help me train my soldiers and form a strong army, an army that can conquer any power in the West."

Muk said his request, and later made it even more emphatically clear that a strong army was needed.

Zhu Zhangui's expression remained unchanged, and he threw the golden camel in his hand to the monkey next to him, and stared at Mu Ke slightly.

"What can I get, I'm talking about anything other than those three gold mines and gold, after all, these things are here for your family's life, not what you said."

"I don't know if you've heard the story of the white-eyed wolf. If I make you strong today, no one can guarantee that after tomorrow, you will not take the weapons I gave you and take the soldiers I trained for you to deal with me! ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Muk's mouth.

"I know that for you, any oath is nonsense, I can only say that I can guarantee that while I am alive, I will restrain the people of the family and maintain absolute loyalty to Da Ming."

"And I'm not going to ask you for how to make these weapons, and of course, I don't think you will give them to me."

"In this way, if we betray you one day in the future, you can simply stop helping us. Without this kind of weapon to join in later, we who also don't know how to make it are just lambs to the slaughter for you Ming. ”

"What's more, we don't have any benefit in betraying you."

"With the great strength of your Ming Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before you conquer the West."

"Our Atulu family is the most loyal servant of the Ming Dynasty, I think if we choose the first one to join the Ming Dynasty and help you fight, I think with the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, we will not treat us meritorious people badly."

A smile also appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth.

"You just believe that our Ming Dynasty will not unload the mill and kill the donkey."

Although I didn't understand what it meant to envy and kill a donkey, with Muke's wisdom, it was not difficult to understand the meaning literally.

"No one can say for sure anything in this world, and only Allah knows what will happen in the future, we just need to try to do what we want."

"This is a big gamble, if you win the bet, the Aturu family will be glorious for ten thousand years, if you lose the bet, the people of our family will be able to live for a while longer, after all, if I don't stand up, we will die tonight."

"For us in the Aturu family, it's a gamble on the fate of the family. But for you, it's just some loss of equipment and personnel. You Daming will not suffer no matter what you say, after all, we have handed over so much gold. ”

Zhu Zhangui smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and threw down the knife hanging from his waist.

"If one day in the future, you or your descendants betray my Daming, you or your descendants, it is best to commit suicide with this knife before the army enters the city."

Zhu Zhangui got up and walked to Mu Ke, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing.

"Because we treat betrayers very cruelly, and they will be cut by a thousand cuts."

Reaching out and patting Mu Ke on the head after kissing his boots, Zhu Zhangui reached out and pulled him up, and the two walked out together.

"I have a man of Saladin's blood!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was walking in front, said casually before stepping out of the door.

Holding Zhu Zhangui's sword in his hand, Mu Ke, who bowed slightly, replied without the slightest hesitation: "He is the king of our Aturu family, we will be loyal to him in the future, and he will also become a hero in the eyes of the Arabs, like Saladin and Muhammad." ”

Zhu Zhangui nodded again with great satisfaction.

"My men killed a lot of your guards and family members just now, you won't hold a grudge against me in your heart, right?"

Mu Ke replied with a smile.

"People die, maybe they hear Allah's call and serve Allah, but that's a good thing."

Zhu Zhangui stared at the other party for a long time, and finally laughed and reached out to wrap his hand around his shoulder, and walked out of the hall with his feet raised.

After leaving the house, Muck told everyone to go back to rest and asked everyone to keep what happened tonight a secret.

When the members of the family saw the intimacy between the head of the family and the pirate leader, they understood that the family had reached a settlement with the other party.

successfully survived, which made many people whose hearts have been tight breathe a sigh of relief.

As for those killed by pirates.

Well, maybe it was really Allah who took a fancy to them and summoned them away.

Half an hour later, the monkey led the soldiers of the guard battalion with torches and followed Zhu Zhangui under the leadership of Mu Ke to a mountain cliff.

"Your Highness, this is the place of our family's treasure."

Muk's expression was more respectful at this time.

On the way here, he had already learned that the pirate leader in front of him was the future heir of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, he secretly shouted in his heart that he was glad that he had made the right bet.

Looking back at the castle that had turned into a small point of light, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, it was the three caves of the cunning rabbit, if it weren't for Mu Ke leading, it is estimated that no one would have imagined that behind this ordinary small cliff in front of him, there were hundreds of years of treasures of the Atulu family.

The soldiers, under the command of the monkeys, occupied the surrounding commanding heights as fast as they could.

After confirming that it was safe, Mu Ke pulled out an ordinary copper-colored key from his body, and caused a dozen soldiers to move away from a huge stone and poke the key into a crack in the stone.

"This is a mechanism made by an alchemist in the West, there is only one key to open it, after poking it in, turn left two and a half times, turn right three times, and you can open the first mechanism!"

Mu Ke opened the mechanism in his hand while explaining to Zhu Zhangui, who was standing not far away.

After Mu Ke finished speaking, the movements of his hands also stopped.

I only heard the sound of Kakaka, and a stone wall in front of me slowly retreated, and a staircase down appeared in front of everyone.

"You guys go down with me first!"

When he saw the stairs appear, the monkey beckoned a few soldiers to go down and check them first.

"Wait a minute!"

Mu Ke stopped the monkey and smiled under its wary gaze, "This staircase is deceitful, if you go down, it will be impossible to come up alive." ”

After speaking, under the monkey's curious eyes, Mu Ke squatted down and used the key just now, and tinkered for a while next to the first step of the ladder, and another sound of Kaka's mechanism sounded, and the first and second steps were lowered, revealing another step down.

Looking at this complicated operation, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but chirp, no wonder some people like to rob ancient tombs and explore, the excitement of these various mechanisms is really not something that ordinary people can experience.

Mu Ke explained the principle of the mechanism again, then turned sideways and gave way to the monkey to go down with a few people to check first.

"How did you get your gold into such a small passage?"

Looking at the passage that could only accommodate one person and a half people, thinking about the complexity of the opening steps just now, Zhu Zhangui couldn't understand how the other party transported the gold in.

"There is a special export of gold where it is shipped, and the gold we collect every year is stored in a special room, and those who transport it do not reveal secrets."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at him and nodded knowingly.

After about half an hour, the monkey who had just gone in came out with a sluggish expression.

"Mountain, such a big mountain!"

The monkey seemed to be enchanted, and kept muttering this sentence in his mouth.

Looking at the monkey, Zhu Zhangui had some doubts in his heart.

The monkey guy has also seen a lot of big scenes with him, and millions of people have participated in the big battle, Zhu Zhangui can't think of anything else in this world that can scare this naughty monkey.

"Hey, what's wrong? What a big mountain. ”

Raising his foot and kicking the stunned guy, Zhu Zhangui patted his face to make the monkey sober up.

After being kicked, the monkey who gradually came back to his senses looked at Zhu Zhangui with shocked eyes, and said with trembling words.

"Your Highness, there is a big mountain down there, made of gold!"

"Goodong!"

Hearing the monkey's words, the surrounding guards all subconsciously swallowed their saliva, imagining in their minds how big the golden mountain below was?

Seeing that this guy was unproductive, Zhu Zhangui didn't have a good air.

"It's really a toad into the swan's nest, look at your useless appearance, it's really embarrassing for me."

After saying that, he pushed the monkey away, and Zhu Zhangui strode into the passage under the cover of the tall grain.

He wanted to see what kind of mountain of gold could scare his generals like this?

Ten minutes later, Zhu Zhangui stood in front of a stone gate with a dull expression, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and he muttered to himself like a monkey.

"Mountain, such a big mountain!"
