Chapter 126: Qian Hao's Methods
"Where the hell is this rouge, boy, do you know?" Yellow Dog asked Li Tai'an.
At this moment, they were standing at the bow of the ship, and at the end of their field of vision, the outline of a small island could already be seen.
"I don't know, a few days ago, she would reply to some messages from time to time, but since yesterday, even if I asked her, she didn't reply to me." Li Tai'an shook his head, his face containing a faint worry.
Although Rouge has no cleanliness habits, it is not realistic to want her to keep this ship safely.
Therefore, on the day of the sailing, Rouge left alone, and occasionally the news that came back also told Li Tai'an that she was nearby and did not go far.
"Rouge is also a nine-tailed fox, just around here, there should be no one who can hurt her, maybe she was delayed by something, besides, Li Tai'an has a strange beast record on her, she can find us at any time." The snake on the side comforted.
As long as the alien beast is subdued by the alien beast record, even if it is separated for a short time, the alien beast will have a trace of connection with the alien beast record, including the heavenly master.
"We're almost there."
In the field of vision, the outline of the island is getting bigger and bigger, from a small black dot at the beginning, to a large rocky island today.
It's just that on the island, it looks very desolate, and it doesn't look like there is a trace of treasure.
Seeing this scene, the pirates, who were still a little excited, couldn't get excited at the moment.
After all, if there is no treasure on the island, it is likely that they will not be rewarded from this trip to sea.
Although according to the habits of the North Boat King, after arriving at Ghost Island safely, they can still receive a large amount of remuneration, but after all, it is still too little.
For a group of pirates accustomed to pleasure, that was not enough.
However, this did not affect the excited yellow dog in the slightest, he had no interest in treasure, although after nearly half a month of sea voyage, he had barely begun to avoid seasickness, but he still preferred the steadiness on land to the sea.
Soon, the Intrepid was anchored next to the island, and the pirates worked together to drop the anchor and secure the ship around the island, while the rest of the crew began to slowly slide down the rope and begin to land on the island.
The yellow dog didn't even ask for a rope, and jumped directly from the boat and jumped onto land.
"Master dog, I'm back again, or the ground is steady!"
The pirates who were disembarking also laughed when they saw this, and during this time, they had become accustomed to this seasick yellow dog, including his mouth.
There are too many strange things on this ghost island, and a talking dog is really nothing.
Soon, Li Tai'an and Ming Snake also set foot on the island, and as far as the eye could see, they didn't see any shining objects except rocks and rocks.
"What's the matter, you still don't believe what I say? I said, I have been to this little island, and what treasure will there be but desolation and desolation? Xu Shan came to Li Tai'an's side and glanced at the island where he had stayed, and there was worry in his eyes that could not be hidden.
When he first came to this island, although he was also defeated, at least his son was still there, his ship was still there, and there were still many of his men left.
But when he returned to the island again, his ship was gone, his men and his son were gone, and even himself, from thinking of himself as a general, to now a prisoner, wandering on the edge of life and death several times.
Things are not people, which may be the best description of him.
At this time, the shopkeeper came to the two of them again and said, "The captain invites you to go, and the captain should have the answer to the question from last time." ”
Li Tai'an and Xu Shan glanced at each other, if Qian Hao disagreed, Xu Shan's son, Li Tai'an's sea beast, there was no way, they were human beings, and if they wanted to walk smoothly on this sea, the boat was an indispensable thing.
At this moment, Li Tai'an understood why the chaotic ghost island could not be established by any force, but these five people who had a boat could become the king of the ship here.
The ships in their hands have mastered the economic lifeline of more than half of the people on Ghost Island, without boats, they are just a group of bandits guarding turtle shells, once the country cuts off the supply of food, they don't need to send troops, they will be self-defeating.
They came to the edge of the island, where Qian Hao had already lit a bonfire, found a stone to sit down, and was waiting for the arrival of Li Tai'an and the others.
"What I said last time, I agreed!" Qian Hao didn't hesitate and said directly.
Li Tai'an and Xu Shan are both happy, as long as Qian Hao agrees, they will have a chance to continue, otherwise Qian Hao will not agree, and they will have nothing to do in the face of this vast sea.
It's impossible to say that he killed Qian Hao and robbed his ship, right?
Then these pirates won't agree, after all, Qian Hao can give them food and money, what can Li Tai'an and Xu Shan give them?
Moreover, Xu Shan is still the general of the founding of the country, and he is the soldier who captured their group of bandits.
Therefore, Qian Hao can agree, for them, it is the best situation.
"First of all, after finding the sea beast, the ship is mine, and the treasure is mine. Xu Shan wants a son, the heavenly master wants a sea beast, we each take what we need, and we don't delay each other. Qian Hao spoke again.
Li Tai'an Xu Shan nodded, neither of them had any special needs for treasures.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Hao looked at the pirates who were exploring not far away and said, "Next, it's time to get rid of them." ”
"Get them? Why, aren't you the captain, they'll listen to you? Xu Shan asked puzzled.
Li Tai'an shook his head: "They are different from the soldiers you lead, your soldiers are formally trained, and they are well-deserved regular troops, but they are not, they are just a group of bandits chasing treasures, they choose to follow Captain Qian because Captain Qian can bring them treasures."
And when they went to sea this time, Captain Qian said that they were exploring the island, and the danger was very small, so they all came; If Captain Qian said that this time he went to sea to hunt sea beasts, do you expect so many people to come? ”
Saying that, Li Tai'an turned around, looked at the pirates who were still in the dark, and continued: "Changing the mission halfway, and it is still a high-risk task like hunting sea beasts, if you don't pay attention, they can completely mutiny, even if they can't grab the ship, they really don't do it, just a few people can't drive this big ship." ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "The Heavenly Master is a person who understands, so in the past few days, I have been discussing with the captain how to get them to agree, and now, we have a countermeasure." ”
Li Tai'an stepped aside and said, "Then let's watch Captain Qian's performance!" ”
As for what means Qian Hao wants to use, Li Tai'an doesn't care too much, they are facing a group of vicious pirates, not a group of innocent people, Li Tai'an will not be merciful.
In the record of strange beasts, the yellow dog and the snake were called back, at this time, they still had to hand over the stage to Qian Hao, and they just watched the play quietly.
Soon, the pirates searched the entire area, and they didn't find anything of value.
This also means that they really have nothing to gain from this trip to sea.
It was at this time that Qian Hao stood up, he looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at him.
"It's a pity that on this small island, there is no treasure, and there are no aborigines, even if we want to rob, we don't know who to rob, Liguo is at war with Qingrui Kingdom, and the merchant ships have been stopped for a long time. Approaching the beginning of winter, except for our ghost island, no big ship dares to go so far, so this time, even if we don't have a harvest and want to grab a round, it is estimated that we will not be able to do it. ”
As Qian Hao's voice spread throughout the island, Li Tai'an found that the faces of all the pirates had darkened.
The biggest reason why many pirates choose to go to sea with Qian Hao at this time is that they have no money, no money at all.
Without money, they want to spend a winter on Ghost Island, which will be an extreme torture.
And Qian Hao's words just now completely extinguished the last hope in their hearts.
"But, here, I still have a business that makes money, and it's still a sure, big business."
The pirates looked at Qian Hao again, and their faces were once again filled with hope.
In the eyes of everyone, Qian Hao took out a gem with a light blue light from his arms, he looked at everyone and said: "This is what I got from the sea beast, so the business I said is also very simple, that is, to hunt the sea beast, as long as it is successful, I believe we can make more than we imagined." ”
Many pirates were happy at first, after all, their ability to identify treasures was not weak, and that gem, they could see, was very valuable.
But soon, they reacted again, and their new target turned out to be the sea beast, a sea beast that had been in a uproar recently, and the ups and downs were extremely terrifying.
So the question is, will they live to enjoy this payment?
It's true that they want to make money, but what is the purpose of making money? Aren't you still alive?
This order can't be reversed.
"Captain, are you talking about the sea beast? The sea beast that the East Boat King encountered? At this time, someone asked tremblingly.
Qian Hao nodded, there was no need for him to hide this kind of thing.
After hearing this answer, as Li Tai'an thought, many pirates turned dark, this kind of mission has exceeded their expectations at the beginning, they want to make money, but they don't want to risk their lives to make money.
"Captain, this matter, why don't we think about it?"
"Yes, yes, we're thinking about it."
The meaning of these words is also very clear, they rejected Qian Hao's proposal.
They would rather not earn anything and just go back.
In this regard, Qian Hao, Li Tai'an and others are not surprised, this is a group of outlaws, and it is too unrealistic to expect that they can be desperate with a little ethereal benefit.
Fortunately, Qian Hao also left a back hand, and said directly: "I know, many people are still unwilling, but as the captain, I have already determined, and this ship is also my ship, naturally where I go, where this ship goes, so those who don't want to go, just wait here, and when I remember it one day, I will come back to pick you up." ”
"Captain! What do you mean? Are you planning to abandon us here? ”
Qian Hao shook his head and said: "No, it's not abandonment, it's that we don't go by the way, then you have to wait for me to finish it and come back by the way, so I can take you back with me." ”
Isn't it that the faces of many pirates have changed?
What is the difference between this statement and abandoning them here?
At this time, Li Tai'an found that the weapons in the hands of many people had been planted, and it seemed that things had come to the worst point.
"If Qian Hao has no more options, it is likely that this group of pirates will take the ship." Li Tai'an said softly.
Yellow Dog nodded, "They are all people who live with their heads pinned to their belts, who is afraid of whom, you can take us to make money, we will call you a captain; If you want us to die, doesn't that allow us to fight hard? ”
The shopkeeper was still standing next to Li Tai'an and them, and he didn't seem to be worried about the current situation.
Qian Hao looked at everyone's performance, smiled and said, "Want to do it?" Want to grab my boat? Hahaha, who do you think I am Qian Hao? I am the king of the North Boat, the biggest ship king on Ghost Island! Who can drive my ship but me? ”
After that, Qian Hao pointed to the Intrepid behind him and shouted: "On the ship, there is a large amount of explosives, as long as you dare to grab the ship, before I die, this ship will be completely turned into ashes, and everyone will die together!" ”
Hearing this, Li Tai'an couldn't help but widen his eyes, he couldn't imagine that this Qian Hao was even more ruthless than he imagined.
Now, for this group of pirates, there is really no choice.
Only then did the shopkeeper smile and say: "The day before the captain went to Ghost Island, he filled the body of the Intrepid with explosives, and as long as someone dared to rob the ship, they could only grab it, and it would only be a piece of debris." ”
Li Tai'an breathed a sigh of relief, although the process was a bit frightening, the result should be good.
Although the pirates were still silent, Li Tai'an knew that the situation had been controlled by Qian Hao, and the rest was only a matter of time.
Soon, the first pirate stepped forward, he raised his hand and shouted, "I'll go!" I am willing to follow the captain. ”
Li Tai'an took advantage of the situation and was quite familiar with the person who spoke, the young man who jumped off the pole when they set sail.
It seems to be called Zhou Hao.
Qian Hao nodded, and threw the gem in his hand directly to the young man: "I've rewarded you." ”
"Thank you, Captain!"
"This Zhou Hao, he is a little famous on Ghost Island, don't look at his young age, but he has a lot of experience in going to sea, and there are not many people who die at his hands.
And I found that when Qian Hao just said that he was going to deal with the sea beast, he wanted to agree, and there was no fear in his eyes, but he was extremely excited. The snake said with a grin, it seems that he is very interested in this young man.
"Don't say it, this Qian Hao also has some means, a stick and sweet dates, you look at the eyes of the other pirates around you looking at Zhou Hao, envy!" The yellow dog also sighed.
And as Zhou Hao stood up, more and more pirates also stood up, and for them, this was already their last choice.
"Then let's keep sailing!"
