Chapter 181: Heaven Bestows Blessing, but Suffers from It
Shuangyu Island.
"My lord, Kato-kun invited my lord to discuss the matter."
Inoue's subordinates carefully passed Ueto's orders to Inoye Uero.
With Inoue Ichiro joining Hiroki Kato's men, everything didn't go as smoothly as he expected.
Kato Hiroki was very wary of Inoue, and not only through the means of entrapment, but also enveloped all of Inoue's henchmen.
It is even more important to let Inoue Ichiro serve as a patrol on a beach on the island, which can be described as completely marginalized.
After all, everyone can see that Inoue Ichiro has completely lost power, and there is no future after him, and his henchmen have switched to Kato Hiroki.
Only the Han Li San is still willing to follow Inoue Ichiro with all his heart, and he is unwilling to change the court.
Inoue Ichiro was so humiliated, naturally he was angry, but his only henchman, Li San, asked Inoue Ichiro to be patient and wait for the opportunity.
This time, Hiroki Kato summoned Inoue Ichiro to discuss the matter, but deliberately sent Inoue's former subordinates to pass the order, and it was inevitable that he did not disgust Inoue's mind by the way.
When Inoue Ichiro saw his betrayal of his subordinates, he naturally didn't have a good face, and Inoue Ichiro didn't plan to go to Kato Hiroki's summons.
However, Li San whispered to Inoue Ichiro and explained:
"Lord, now that you are under the fence, you should temporarily rein in your edge and wait for the time."
"Since Kato-kun took the initiative to make an appointment, the lord should still go, and if things change, I can also prepare in advance."
Inoue Ichiro still has some respect for himself, the only subordinate now, so he can only snort lightly and say to the person who came to give the order:
"Lead the way!"
By the time Inoue Ichiro came to the council hall, the big and small heads under Kato Hiroki had already arrived, and they were waiting for Inoue.
As soon as Inoue Ichiro entered the hall, everyone's eyes converged on Inoue Ichiro, looking up and down at this so-called defector.
However, most of the eyes are contemptuous, after all, who can afford to lose a dog who can't even hold his own territory?
Inoue Ichiro didn't care about everyone's eyes, but it was the two Japanese who knelt in the arena that attracted his attention.
I saw these two widows, kneeling respectfully in front of Kato Hiroki, wet all over, as if they had just been fished out of the sea.
"Inoue-kun is here!"
When Hiroki Kato saw that Inoue Ichiro had finally arrived, he waved at him and motioned for Inoue Ichiro to come forward.
Inoue Ichiro then came to Hiroki Kato and said:
"I've seen Kato-kun, I don't know what is the important matter of calling my little brother here?"
Hiroki Kato smiled on his face, looked at the two kneeling in front of him, and said:
"The two of you will tell Inoue Jun what you have seen and heard again, and if you dare to omit half a word, Lao Tzu will immediately throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."
The two of them trembled, and hurriedly told Inoue Ichiro what they had experienced today.
It turned out that these two people were the crew members of the Japanese ship that was sunk by the Ming fleet led by Li Jin.
The two of them were lucky not to die, escaped with their lives, and hurriedly reported to Hiroki Kato about the situation they encountered when they returned.
When Kato Hiroki heard that a fleet dared to invade his territory, he naturally flew into a rage and was about to fight to the death with the other party.
However, thinking of what Inoue Ichiro said before, Hiroki Kato, for the sake of insurance, decided to call Inoue Ichiro in front of him first and ask him clearly.
After listening to the accounts of these two people, Inoue Ichiro was 100% sure that this fleet was the Ming army he had encountered.
Because of that terrifying giant ship, Inoue Ichiro has only met once in his life, and that time he escaped death, which made him very impressed.
Now after hearing the terrifying firepower of that giant ship, Inoue Ichiro suddenly felt a lingering palpitation, if he had fought with these warships at that time, he felt that he might not be able to return to Shengsi Island.
"Inoue-kun, is this fleet the terrifying Ming army you mentioned to me before?"
Kato Hiroki's voice came, slowly pulling Inoue's consciousness back, and hearing the question, Inoue Ichiro nodded solemnly:
"Yes, Kato-kun, these are the people."
"We should immediately send someone to monitor this fleet, and we must not let them discover the location of the island under our feet, otherwise we will be really dangerous."
"Hahaha."
Seeing Inoue's frightened appearance, Kato Hiroki laughed out loud and sneered:
"Inoue-kun, have you forgotten that you were once a great samurai?"
"Look at the way you look now, have you been scared by the previous battle?"
"Haha, I think he was so scared that he peed his pants."
"It's a shame for us, such a person was the leader of the dominant side before, and it's really a shame to be in the company of such a person."
As soon as Kato Hiroki's words fell, he immediately caused a burst of echo.
The Japanese have always been respected by the strong, these people are unruly, ambition is difficult to come out, only strong force, can make them obey.
But if the leader shows the slightest weakness, these people will immediately rebel, and there will be no credibility to speak of.
They believe in the strong, and on this sea, only by following the strong can they get more prey and become the one who conquers others.
Now Ichiro Inoino's cowardly performance has made all the leaders in the arena sneer at and disdain Ichiro Inoino.
Inoue's face turned red with anger, he was like this at the beginning, no one was convinced, no one was in his eyes, he thought that at sea, he was the overlord, and no one was his opponent.
But since the battle of Shengsi Island, he felt fear, not only the crushing of equipment, but also the courage of the Ming army to not achieve the goal, which made him even more frightened.
He admitted that he was frightened by the Ming army, but he felt that he was not ashamed, after all, in front of this Ming army, all disobedience would turn into death.
He didn't want to die, but he also thought of a way to deal with the Ming army.
The sea is vast and boundless, and if you can't beat the Ming army, can't you still run?
As long as the Ming army comes, then hide, wait until the Ming army is gone, and then kill it again.
Although the tactics are nested after all, they can save their lives, and on this sea, although he can't beat the Ming army, he can still catch the others.
It's just that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.
In the battle of Shengsi Island, his men were killed and wounded, and they had no strength, and they had no right to speak at all in the cruel world of Japanese pirates.
His idea was destined to fail, because now the master of the house was Kato Hiroki, the leader of the Japanese who had not been beaten by the Ming army.
Ichiro Inoino's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and glared at everyone present, looking angry, as if he would draw a knife against him in the next moment.
Hiroki Kato didn't care about Inoue's emotions and continued:
"Inoue-kun, don't be afraid, this time, let me be ashamed of you."
"Although the Ming army has huge ships and fierce firepower, this is exactly what God has given us."
"Heaven gives you the blessing, but suffers from it, this is my territory, and in my territory, no Ming army ships will be allowed to appear."
"Little guys, prepare to go on the expedition, let's let this group of Ming troops come and go!!"
"Fuck it, when did the Ming Army dare to be so arrogant?"
"Just, kill them!!"
A group of demons danced wildly, and when they heard that there was a battle, the bloodthirsty nature of these would-be robbers was completely aroused, and they screamed excitedly one by one.
But Inoue Ichiro looked at these people with a mentally retarded face, didn't they hear the words of the two people at the bottom just now?
The Ming army's firepower is so fierce, just rely on their few broken ships to attack the Ming army? Isn't that just food delivery?
Inoue Ichiro felt that these people were all tired of being alive, and rushed to death one by one.
"Inoue-kun, hurry up and prepare, you go with me, I want you to see with your own eyes, how can I avenge you!"
Kato Hiroki's words directly made Inoue's scalp numb.
Do you have to bring Lao Tzu with you to die?
