0468 Lao Tzu wants to be a faucet
When everyone heard his words in the first half of the verse, they were a little blushing and their necks were thick, and they were anxious to raise their hands and point at him, and they were about to shout and scold, but they were all blocked by his last sentence! If these people had the guts, they wouldn't have been frightened into silence by a person who was obviously just a messenger!
Li Feiyu looked at them and despised them even more, and he pulled the strong man beside him and said, "Brother Zhang, let's get on the boat and go first. Since the North Yankee has asked us to go, maybe a banquet has been arranged on the ship, so let's take a good seat first!"
The big man was silent and didn't speak, just nodded heavily, and then the two jumped into their own boat and headed straight for Liu Guangting's fleet.
As soon as he was gone, some of the pirate leaders on board began to mumble and curse! "What a thing, dare to shout in front of Lao Tzu!"
"Well, it's a government dog too!"
Everyone scolded for a while and then stopped, because there was still an important question, that is, whether to go or not? And this question was posed by one person, who said, "Guys, are we going or not to go?"
Immediately someone said, "What if they're trying to lure us in and kill us? I'll go halfway through and see what happens."
"Then who goes, who stays? Why don't you go and I'll stay?"
Everyone argued for a moment and didn't make up their minds, just staring at each other with big eyes. After a while, an old pirate leader of more than forty years said, "Everyone has arrived, what if you don't go? It's looked down on for no reason! Besides, if you fall out and be blocked in the nest by him, it's also a big problem, so it's better to make it clear now while the big guys are there."
One of the pirates said, "What are you talking about? asked us to go to Liugong Island, and informed us in advance that there were officers and soldiers here, and said that the navy would not chase and kill us, but now they are all right, indicating that they must have colluded together! Maybe we'll be out of luck if we go!"
The old pirate leader rubbed his beard and said, "I guess he asked everyone to come here this time, it's more like a demonstration, and it's definitely okay in terms of safety!" Otherwise, he doesn't have to make an appointment with us in front of the officials and soldiers, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to directly take the officers and soldiers to block us from island to island? Let's check it out!"
When they heard him say this, they decided to go to the original ship to see what he thought.
Then everyone drove a small boat to Liu Guangting's boat. By the time they climbed onto the deck, Liu Guangting was already waiting for them. And let Li Feiyu say it right, there are really three square tables and matching chairs on the deck! Although I squeezed a little, it seems that I can sit down.
The dishes on the table are also very simple, large pots of sea fish, green vegetables, and bacon. If nothing else, it's amazing to be able to eat vegetables just on the sea!
After everyone greeted each other according to the rules of the pirate world, Liu Guangting said, "You can do whatever you want, there is nothing good, just eat two bites!" There will be more to eat when you go ashore tomorrow and tomorrow!"
The crowd guessed what it meant to go ashore, but no one accosted them. They all found their seats and sat down. Then someone poured wine into a bowl for them, but no one touched the bowl of wine, and they all turned their heads to look at Liu Guangting.
I saw Liu Guangting raise the wine bowl and say, "It's past noon now, so let's talk about eating this meal in advance!" Come, I'll do it first!"
After saying that, he drank the wine and lit up the bottom of the bowl! Everyone looked at him and didn't want to lose his prestige, so they drank the wine one after another after a little hesitation. Then Liu Guangting grabbed his chopsticks, took a piece of fish meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "You're welcome, eat first!"
At this time, these pirates also let go of their minds, and directly touched the cakes on the table with the dishes and began to eat and drink. However, everyone was worried about their hearts, so no one spoke, just ate with their heads bored, and the dishes on the table were swept away by the wind and clouds!
When everyone finished eating, Liu Guangting was not polite, and said directly and loudly: "Everyone has finished eating, let's talk about something serious!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Originally, we were waiting for your words, telling us to come here and stay under the noses of the officers and soldiers, what is the matter?"
Liu Guangting didn't look at who was speaking, and said directly: "Since the brothers are in a hurry, then I can go straight
Pick it up! That is, I want to unite all the people on the sea and form a big force, so that I can wrestle with the government! And I'm going to be the big leader!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the people, only to hear someone shouting loudly: "You want to be the head of the dragon, why?"
"That's it! You colluded with the government to harm how many heroes on our seas, and you still want to be the leader?"
Liu Guangting laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he said sharply, "Your statement is expected by Lao Tzu! But since Lao Tzu dares to say this, there is a reason! So now I'm going to talk to you about it! Don't shout here, hear clearly before you speak!"
Everyone quieted down when they heard him say this, but they all held on to the hilt of their knives and made it look like they were fighting at any time. Anyway, there are their own brothers on the small boat outside, who can pick them up. But they're more for show! Because they also saw that there was no fire and they meant it, otherwise there would not have been such a small number of men on this deck!
I saw Liu Guangting stand up and say loudly, "You say that Lao Tzu colluded with the government, but in fact, you are wrong! Lao Tzu clearly tells you that Lao Tzu did not collude, but took refuge in the government!"
Although everyone was a little angry when they heard him say this, it was also expected, so they didn't say anything, but they just expressed their attitudes with angry expressions!
As for the reason why Liu Guangting didn't say that he was sent by Liu Haojia, it was just to have a room for maneuver. Pirates can accept a big dragon head who defects to the government, but they will never accept a big dragon head sent by the government! Of course, maybe they will accept it in the future, but definitely not now!
"As for why he took refuge in the government, the reason is very simple!" Speaking of this, he stomped on the board of the boat with his foot and said loudly, "The government has given Lao Tzu enough benefits! Ships, silver, food, guns, whatever you want! With these things, Lao Tzu can expand the fleet and run rampant on the sea, and this is just one of them!"
At this moment, a pirate leader said loudly, "Beiyan, you can surrender to the government, and we can also surrender!" Maybe we'll take refuge in the past, and let me do it!"
His words caused a burst of laughter among the pirates! There are also many people who echo loudly, and some people wish him to become a big leader! And this man actually stood up and saluted in all directions, looking triumphant! I didn't know that Liu Guangting had already sentenced him to death in my heart!
