Half an hour ago, Mingsha Island.

A widow ran to Gao Shishu in a panic and reported: "Oh no, helper! The situation has changed, the government does not know what weapons are used, and the ship can be hit from a distance of three or four miles, and the first team we sent out suffered heavy casualties, and it was wiped out before it could attract the attention of nearby officers and soldiers! ”

"It's over! Helper, we're really going to finish! ”

Before the words fell, another person came in, as if he had seen some extremely terrible scene, two trembling and crying: "...... The government has artillery, lots and lots of artillery! The launch is overwhelming, our people can't run away at all, and the second team is now afraid that it is already more than lucky......"

Zheng Yu, who was staying on the island with Gao Shishu, was dizzy when he heard this, and his face turned pale and said: "The first team and the second team have been damaged, and the third team is far away from them, and they will not receive news for a while and a half, so they must be anxious." It would be bad if they were confused and broke out regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one. ”

"Helper, let's quickly find a way to call back the people of the third team. Despite the heavy losses, the third team has two or three thousand people, and as long as they are kept, our main forces will be preserved, and it is still possible to think about it in the long run...... Master? Master? ”

The plan was disrupted, Zheng Yu was so panicked that his palms were full of sweat, and he spoke incoherently for a long time, only to find that Gao Shishu on the side had a gloomy expression and gloomy eyes, and he was not listening at all.

"Helper!"

Zheng Yu raised his voice and shouted again, Gao Shishu suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and his face was slightly unnatural: "...... I've heard everything you said, don't panic, I've been ready for both hands for a long time, and it's still too late. ”

"Gather all the remaining brothers on the island, and let them bring their fellows, preferably some gold and silver. Be careful not to light the lamp as much as possible, and beware of calling the officers and soldiers to find out, and they will follow me later. ”

Although Zheng Yu didn't understand a little, it was difficult for him to calm down and think at the moment, so he had to do what Gao Shishu said.

A quarter of an hour later, when Zheng Yu packed up his things and came to the scheduled meeting place, he realized that something was wrong.

Most of the people in the gang have been divided into three teams to break through by boat, and there are only one or two hundred people left on the island, Zheng Yu was concerned about the breakthrough battle before, and at this time he realized that the people who stayed on the island were basically Dongying wandering warriors, and all of them were Gao Shishu's cronies without exception.

Although Gao Shishu incorporated the old Tao Gang, he started as a Japanese Gang after all, and the only people he really trusted from beginning to end were the wandering warriors in the gang, which was also the elite force under his hands.

These warriors did not say a word, and stood behind Gao Shishu in a solemn manner, without showing any panic. Zheng Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he saw that they were more or less carrying burdens, he asked in amazement:

“…… Helper, didn't you say that you only cleaned up the guys and a small amount of softness? Why are they all still carrying luggage? What is this going to do? ”

Gao Shishu turned his head, avoiding his inquiring gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Just follow me." ”

With that, he turned around and left with all the warriors, and Zheng Yu had no choice but to pull out his legs to follow.

Gao Shishu behaved strangely tonight, and Zheng Yu was full of doubts, so he kept an eye on him, and observed his every move while following him.

Gao Shishu moved neatly, and walked south without stopping, without any hesitation or turning back, as if he had left the third team in danger behind and did not intend to save them.

Did he want to leave the rest of the brothers alone and run away with the rest of the brothers?

After realizing this, Zheng Yu's scalp tightened, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only suppress the doubt in his heart and pretend that he didn't know anything.

The group went straight to the southern shore of Mingsha Island, and in the dark night, several small ships were moored on the sea, as if waiting for them.

These ships are very low-key, not a single light is lit, as if they want to blend in with the night, if the distance is relatively far, I am afraid that they will not be able to find that there are still boats parked here. When he got closer, Zheng Yu found that the people on the boat were dressed in the same clothes as the wandering warriors beside Gao Shishu, and they should be from Dongying.

Isn't the receiving ship of the Dongying people supposed to be in the sea to the northeast? Why is it on the south shore of Mingsha Island? And only a few of them?

Compared with Zheng Yu's doubts, Gao Shishu was not surprised by this, and said in a deep voice: "If you're ready, let's get on the boat." ”

"Wait!"

Zheng Yu grabbed him, and the questions jumped out one after another: "...... Master? What's going on? Where are we going? What about the brothers of the three teams, let's leave them alone? ”

Gao Shishu stopped, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Zheng Yu without saying a word, looking at him hairy. A chill rushed up his neck from his back, and Zheng Yu couldn't help but shudder: "Helper......"

"Hall Master Zheng." Before Zheng Yu could speak, he was interrupted by Gao Shishu, and he suddenly smiled, "It's all come to this point, with your cleverness, you don't need me to say more, you should also guess what's going on, right?" ”

Zheng Yu suddenly didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and swallowed his saliva: "...... If this is Dongying's receiving ship, then they are obviously stopping on the south shore of Mingsha Island, why do you want the brothers to go to the northeast? What other teams are divided into the first, second, and third teams...... You didn't even want to take them away, did you? ”

"What Fujiwara princes, what Dongying is fighting for hegemony, eighty percent of them are lies you made up, right? You just want to stabilize everyone's mood for the time being, so as not to cause civil unrest on Mingsha Island, so that you can have a chance to escape? ”

"You've only partially guessed right." Gao Shishu staggered his gaze from him, and his voice was deep, "The matter of the Fujiwara princes is true, and it is also true that he wants to accept us. But Dongying's territory is small and resources are limited, and Fujiwara says that it is a prince, which sounds majestic, but in fact, the territory is only a few counties, and he can't afford to support so many people in our gang. ”

"On the other hand, the Toei people are extremely xenophobic, and when so many of us Gentiles have passed, there will inevitably be civil strife in the territory of Fujiwara. Therefore, from the very beginning, Fujiwara wanted to recruit not ordinary gangs, but the hundreds of elite samurai under my command. ”

"They were originally natives of Dongying, and they wandered overseas for various reasons, but their own strength is not weak. It is not easy to find such a cohesive and ownerless samurai army in Toei, and it just so happens that they are all working under me now, which is why Fujiwara threw an olive branch to me. ”

Guessing by yourself is one concept, and hearing the fact that Gao Shishu himself said the deception is another concept.

Zheng Yu took a deep breath and asked in disbelief: "Obviously, Fujiwara didn't want to accept us, but you still said that you would take everyone to Dongying, why did you lie to the big guy?" ”
