Gao Shishu stood in the middle of the Tao Gang with his hands in his hands, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he was fierce and his tone was arrogant: "Before tonight, if I can't leave this island safely, then dozens of warships will immediately approach and wash your Tao Family Gang in blood!" ”

Zheng Yu's pupils shrank, and then he forced his mind to settle down, and said sharply: "You are scaring us!" How big is your family business, dozens of warships are basically going to hollow out your family foundation, you have made such a big move, how could you have no wind at all before! ”

Gao Shishu sneered: "Is it to scare you, don't you send someone to investigate?" It's four o'clock now, and it won't be long before my men arrive, and there's not much time left for you. ”

Zheng Yu's expression changed, and after all, he was still not at ease, so he sent a subordinate to the guard tower to investigate.

After a while, his subordinates ran back sweating profusely and said anxiously, "Oh no, Hall Master Zheng!" There are really warships around the island, it looks like there are forty or fifty of them, and they are rapidly approaching us, what should we do? ”

Zheng Yu's face changed, and the rest of the Tao Gang was also in an instant uproar, and there was a commotion.

The movement of dozens of warships is not small, and the reason why the Tao Gang is not aware of it is because they are making internal strife these days because of the matter of Zhao'an, and their vigilance is relaxed. Even before coming here, Zheng Yu himself was fighting with people, and if it wasn't for his subordinates, he might not have known what was going on.

Now that Gao Shishu's people are already on the way here, Tao Lian and Shui Sanzi are dead, and the Tao Gang has no leader, which is the time when people are panicking. Not to mention that with his prestige Zheng Yu, he can't organize a decent counterattack at all, and even if he organizes it, it won't help.

Now they are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Zheng Yu clenched his hand on the knife, trying to make his voice sound calm: "Gao Shishu, what do you want to do?" Is there a war with our Tao Gang? You must know that the trapped beast still has a fight, not to mention that there are so many people in our Tao Gang, even if you win, you will only hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and you yourself will not be able to please yourself. ”

Gao Shishu chuckled: "Our Gao Gang and your Tao Gang have helped each other for many years, and they are already brothers to each other, why should I fight with you and let the court reap the benefits of the fisherman?" The warship is a means, and I am not here to go to war, but to invite you to join our high gang. ”

"Huh, invite?" Zheng Yu smiled sarcastically, his eyes were cold, "Kill our Tao Gang Master and Water Hall Master, and then say that you want us to join you, Gao Shishu, can you be a little thicker?" ”

Gao Shishu generously admitted: "Of course you can, after all, if you don't kill them, how can I invite you?" Tao Lian wanted to belong to the imperial court, naively thinking that the imperial court would give him endless glory and wealth. You must know that we are pirates, thieves in the eyes of the court, burning, killing and looting are all evil, and now the court is coming to recruit peace, if they have no other thoughts, who will believe it? ”

"Maybe the imperial court can really give Tao Lian glory and wealth, but what about you, can the imperial court also give it? If you really succeed in recruiting peace, do you think the imperial court will be kind enough to give each of you official positions and money, or will you start liquidating you thieves immediately? ”

What Gao Shishu said was exactly what Zheng Yu and others had been arguing about these days, and this was simply to his heart. He has always refused to agree to belong to the imperial court, but Tao Lian is bent on returning to the roots, no matter how much persuasion is useless, he has long held his breath in his heart.

Zheng Yu's eyes were heavy: "What does this have to do with you, what do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say that instead of following Tao Lian, this coward who forgets his righteousness, you should follow me."

Gao Shishu's voice carried a demagogic magic: "What is the background of my Gao Shishu, everyone knows very well, it is impossible for me to be recruited by the court in this life, and I will never wag my tail and beg for mercy with the court, I am a leader who is much better than Tao Lian." ”

"Anyway, Tao Lian is dead, no matter how much you hate me, you immediately wiped my neck with a knife, and it won't change this fact. Instead of us killing each other, it is better to unite the two gangs, and you will serve me as the master. ”

"The Tao Gang and the Gao Gang are the two largest pirate forces in the Southeast Sea, and in the past, we only occasionally cooperated, which made the imperial court anxious. Now that we are fused together, we will definitely become the overlord of the sea and dominate the southeast seas! ”

"At that time, we are so numerous that we only need to rob passing merchant ships to block the sea trade routes, and let the sea trade of the imperial court wait for us, wouldn't it be happy!"

Looking at Gao Shishu's crazy look on his face, Zheng Yu's heart was shaken and he struggled.

It seemed that Gao Shishu was inviting them, but in fact they had no choice.

Either join him, change the leader from now on, and continue to be his own pirate; Either kill him and fight with the people of the high gang to the end, and would rather die.

As an old subordinate who has been by Tao Lian's side for more than ten years, it stands to reason that Zheng Yu should not hesitate, but immediately step forward to cut off Gao Shishu's head to comfort Tao Lian and the three sons of Shui in the spirit of the sky. Then mobilize all the people who can be mobilized by the Tao Gang, organize a rebellion, and die together with the people of the High Gang.

But people are greedy for life and afraid of death, Zheng Yu is very sorry for his life, Tao Lian is already dead, he doesn't need to put his life on the line for a dead person.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yu closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind, put the weapon in his hand on the ground with a clang, and knelt down on one knee towards Gao Shishu: "I, Zheng Yu, am willing to follow the Gao Gang Master in the future and go to the soup and fire, at any cost!" ”

The rest of the Tao Gang looked at each other, and they also put down their weapons and knelt down: "I am willing to follow the Gao Gang Master!" ”

——

Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, and at the beginning of the new year, Mei Feng and the others still did not wait for Tao Lian's reply, and under anxiety, they sent people to inquire about the news several times to know: Tao Lian was killed, Gao Shishu incorporated the rest of the Tao Gang, and the two gangs were one gang, and their power was twice as strong as before, becoming the largest pirate.

Hearing this news, Gu Yunji's heart sank: "No wonder we sent several people to the Tao Gang to inquire but there was no response, it turned out that they had already changed their flag and followed Gao Shishu." ”

Qiu Wugang really couldn't swallow this breath, and slammed the table and stood up: "This Tao Lian is really a waste, he was killed so easily, and we still spent so much effort to talk to him about Zhao'an, now it's okay, everything is in vain!" ”

Mei Feng sighed and shook his head: "Gao Shishu's personality is completely different from cultivation, his methods are cruel and his temperament is rebellious, even if we can lower our posture and show favor to him, he will definitely not accept it." Now the road of Zhao'an is completely blocked. ”

When Su Qi heard this, he immediately answered: "Since Zhao'an doesn't work, let's fight!" Anyway, now that all the 3,000 special troops have been recruited, and they are stepping up their training, it won't be long before they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and we don't have to be afraid of these Japanese robbers anymore! ”

"As long as Gao Shishu dares to come, I can make him unable to go back!" (End of chapter)
