Yu Ren's three words of "second master" are particularly important, as if he is satirizing Xu Hai, as the second leader of Nansha Island, but he only works for Xiong Wencan's dog official, and he doesn't care about the life or death of his brothers.

Xu Hai blushed at Yu Ren's words. This is indeed Xiong Wencan's intention. Moreover, this idea was given to Xiong Wencan by Xu Hai.

However, now he naturally can't admit it. Seeing that his plan had been seen through by Yu Ren, he had no choice but to say to the brothers, "Isn't it for their good that I let the brothers stay?" You go and ask the brothers, which of them has not lived on the island for many years? Which one is willing to leave?

Yes, Lord Xiong intends to take in our brothers, but he has no intention of embarrassing them. Think for yourselves, would you rather be absorbed by the officers and soldiers, or would you like to wander the sea with your family? ”

At this time, more and more brothers came from the cage. Liu Long, Huang Ji'an, Yang Changqing, and other important leaders of the Xu family also came.

Yu Ren knew that if he had let Xu Hai convince these people, the maritime business empire that Xu Xinsu had painstakingly built for many years would no longer exist. This is an ending that Yu Ren can't accept no matter what, he must let Xu, the overlord of the sea, continue to exist, so that he can get the dead Xu Xinsu right.

"What the second master said is certainly true. Yes, if the officers and soldiers have absorbed us, they will not kill us. However, no one can guarantee that they will not confiscate our wealth. All of these officials are greedy for money and lustful. We accepted the co-optation, and we survived, but my family property was probably gone. And he has to be bullied by those superiors from time to time.

Perhaps, in the future, we will be dragged to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens.

Brothers, don't forget, no matter how our identities change, in the end, we are all businessmen in our bones! Doing business is what we do best, and that's what we like to do. If we withdraw from Nansha, although the situation may be a little difficult for a while.

But we have not lost one of the most important things – freedom.

As long as all of us work together as brothers, I believe that it will not be long before we can build a better new home in a new place. We are free to depreciate goods at sea and make a lot of money.

However, if we accept the co-optation of the imperial court. Those corrupt officials will not only drain our savings for many years, but also make us fight for them.

Brothers are willing to accept temporary comfort in exchange for lifelong suffering, and from generation to generation they will be enslaved; Or are you willing to bear the hardships of the moment, and finally usher in the happiness and freedom of the next generation? ”

Yu Ren's words were far more agitating than Xu Hai's. Those who originally stood by Xu Hai's side and supported Xu Hai, suddenly a large number of people ran to Yu Ren's side.

Yu Ren glanced around. There are more than 1,000 brothers on the island, and most of them have arrived here at this time. And there were no less than eight hundred people standing behind him. There are only three or four hundred people standing beside Xu Hai, and the advantages and disadvantages are immediately superior.

Huang Ji'an shouted to Xu Hai, "Second master, you are the only brother of our big boss. How can you surrender to his enemies with your brothers while the bones of the big boss are still cold? ”

Xu Hai glared at Huang Ji'an, "What are you, is this also the place where you interject?" Didn't I do this for the sake of the overall situation, and I didn't want my brothers to die in vain! ”

Yu Ren sneered, "I'm afraid it may not be!" The little widow of the Huang family in the third uncle's Xinna is stunning! ”

Others don't understand why Yu Ren suddenly mentioned Xu Hai's concubine at this time. But Xu Hai himself knew very well that as soon as he heard Yu Ren mention this, he knew that he could no longer argue with him. So, without waiting for Yu Ren to speak again, he waved to the people standing beside him. "Let's go!"

Seeing Xu Hai turn around and leave, those brothers looked back at the brothers who were standing beside Yu Ren and did not move, and seemed to be a little reluctant. But in the end, they still chose to leave with Xu Hai.

Seeing this scene, Liu Long pulled out his knife, and the more than 200 brothers who followed him also showed their weapons one after another.

Xu Hai, who had already walked more than ten steps away, heard the sound of drawing a knife, turned around abruptly, and looked at Liu Long vigilantly. His hand pressed to the hilt of the knife at the same time.

The brothers who were with him also pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords one by one.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. The big war, one touch but the start!

"Yu Ren, what do you want?" Xu Hai did not talk to Liu Long, but directly approached Yu Ren, because he knew that after Xu Xinsu's death, the most influential and appealing person in the Xu family was Yu Ren.

Yu Ren silently glanced at Xu Hai and the brothers who were following him, and let out a long sigh, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and the twisted melon is not sweet." Let them go! ”

"However, these brothers are all people who have followed the big boss for many years, and now that the big boss is dead, there is still Prince Keming, these people actually want to betray the Xu family with Xu Hai and take refuge in the court. How could we let them go so easily!

Childe, you can say something! ”

Xu Keming suddenly heard his uncle say that he wanted to make up his own mind, but he panicked. Say kill these people? He was also a little unbearable, after all, these people were originally good brothers who were close to them. said that these people were released, but my uncle didn't seem to agree. Xu Keming stood in place, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Yu Ren didn't speak, and since Liu Long brought out Xu Keming, it was inconvenient for him to interject anymore. After all, Xu Keming is now their big boss, although when Xu Qian announced it at the time, he said that he would take care of the Xu family for the time being. But in such a public occasion, he still has to put Xu Keming in front to show respect.

Xu Keming looked at his uncle, and then at Yu Ren, "Also, let's ask my brother-in-law to take this idea for me!" Didn't the little sister also say it before? At the moment, I am still very unfamiliar with our family's affairs, and my brother-in-law will take care of it for me for the time being. Xu Keming finally thought of a reasonable reason and pushed the problem that he thought was spicy to Yu Ren.

Yu Ren took a step forward and said to Liu Long, "The three masters, everyone will be brothers." Let them go today! In the future, we will not be blamed for being ruthless. ”

Xu Hai kept staring at Yu Ren's eyes, and his heart was also extremely nervous. If it really started, he knew that his side would never be Yu Ren's opponent. Not to mention the difference in numbers, just Yu Ren alone, they can't find anyone on their side who can match him.

At this time, hearing Yu Ren say let them go, Xu Hai was greatly relieved.

Seeing this, Liu Long knew that it could no longer be recovered, so he had to sigh, put the knife back into the scabbard, and shouted, "The benevolence of women, the benevolence of women!" With that, he turned around and left.

Xu Hai saw Liu Long turn around and leave, but he didn't speak, he only hugged his fist to Yu Ren, and took the brothers around him and left!

Yu Ren stood still and did not move. The brothers who were originally standing beside him gradually dispersed. Only Li Ying still stood in place with him.

"Ying'er, you say that I am doing this, is it right or not?"

Li Ying gently patted Yu Ren's back shoulder. "I know you're conflicted. You are worried that after the third uncle leaves, he will lead the officers and soldiers to pursue us. With his understanding of us, I am afraid that this battle will be much more difficult to fight. But you don't want to kill him, after all, he is the only brother of the second uncle, and he has also taken care of us.

I believe that no matter what choice you make, the second uncle will not blame you. Because, no matter how you choose, it is all to keep the Xu family and the foundation created by the second uncle.

The second uncle is kind to us. In such a time of crisis, we should naturally help him carry the banner of the Xu family and keep the foundation he has created all his life. You're right. ”

Yu Ren listened to Li Ying's words and suddenly turned to look into her eyes. "Actually, to be honest, most of the foundation laid by the second uncle was borrowed from your team back then, and it was the old man of your Li family. Don't you blame me? ”

Li Ying laughed softly, and smiled brightly. "Back then, I was the daughter of the Li family, so I naturally did my best to contribute to the Li family. Now she is the daughter-in-law of my Yu family, so I have to think about the Yu family in everything, and everything is based on my husband. My husband is the actual helmsman of the Xu family, and of course I contribute wholeheartedly to the Xu family.

Actually, in my eyes, there is no difference between the Xu family, the Li family or the Yu family, it's just a banner. The key is to be able to provide a rich and stable home for brothers and sisters. Back then, I swore to my brothers and sisters who followed me at that time on Daqu Mountain that I would work hard to create such a world for them. Unfortunately, I didn't make it in the end. On the contrary, most of them were killed in the battle of Luzon. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ying's voice was a little choked.
