Chapter 397: Seizure
The words of the Wei family steward made everyone fall silent, and indeed as he said, this situation is really like this now, either die now, or may die later.
Zhao Derong was a little stunned when he learned that the other party had surrendered, he was not surprised at all to surrender, he was surprised that the other party was so decisive.
Before he could attack, the other side surrendered, and at least he should resist it.
"Go and collect all their weapons, and then let them follow us back to the island." Zhao Derong ordered,
Surrender is a good thing anyway, at least they will have fewer casualties.
Soon the weapons of the Maison's guards were confiscated, and they sailed in the encirclement with grain ships towards the base of the pirates.
When several stewards saw these three islands, they were shocked, they didn't expect that this Roger Pirates would have such a large island.
All boats dock at the pier after entering the cave. Under the watchful eye of archers and thousands of people on the island, the Maison's guards lined up to disembark.
He was then escorted to the bottom of the second island.
It was all taken prisoners, and a village had been formed and thatched huts had been built.
Surrounded by water, there are no boats, and Zhao Derong is not worried about them running away.
Only six stewards were taken by Zhao Derong to the first island, where there was a large hall made of stone.
It has the name "Juyi Hall" given by King Li Shen himself
"Tell me who you are, why you have a sailor to escort you, and who you sell it to when you have so much grain on board.
Transporting grain by sea is a long way, and according to the price of Datang, you will lose money. Sitting in the first place, Zhao Derong looked at the few people below and asked.
"Hmph, since you can ambush us so accurately, you should have inquired about it in advance, why do you knowingly ask?" Steward Cui snorted coldly.
"Of course the head of this regiment wants to make sure, what if the catastrophe is wrong?" Zhao Derong teased with a smile.
He just likes the feeling now, he was originally just a scholar, but after bringing back grain seeds to King Ji's south, he was reused by King Ji.
Let him be in charge of all the affairs of the Pirates, this is also for the sake of the books he has read, so his life has changed,
Wealth that was unimaginable before is now piled up in the cave, with all kinds of fine ceramics, silk, jade, gold and silver ornaments, and so on.
This made him feel confident that he was the king of the sea.
"A certain is a steward of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zheng wants to make a deal with the head of the group, and everything on our ship will be given to the head of the group, can you let us go back. There will be great thanks. ”
Steward Zheng revealed his identity, hoping to make the other party open up.
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a member of the family, but it's a pity, since you can get here, the head of this group has no intention of letting you leave.
We are in the process of rebuilding here, and there is a shortage of manpower, so you might as well stay here, and when the renovation is completed, the head of this regiment will consider letting you go. Zhao Derong laughed.
Isn't this a joke, I've taken you all captive, and I'm going to put you back?
"This leader, we know that your pirate group was created by His Royal Highness King Ji, and we have an enmity with His Royal Highness King Ji.
But we have no grudge against the head of the group, you should have heard of the strength of our family, if we cooperate it is better than with King Ji,
When the time comes, you will reign at sea, and we will help you on land, and we will benefit each other, isn't it better?
Now that you are strong and strong, our two thousand guards are also extraordinary, and if the regimental commander agrees to the two thousand, they will be given to the regimental commander.
From now on, you don't have to look at anyone's face, this vast sea is your world. ”
The Cui housekeeper of the Cui family has been watching Zhao Derong for a long time, and he found that Zhao Derong should be from a poor background.
Just got such a large piece of family business, and his heart must be impetuous and inflated. Just seduce his ambitions,
At that time, it is very likely that he will establish himself as a king and break away from Li Shen's control.
Zhao Derong listened to Steward Cui's words, his eyes were deep, and he hesitated for a moment.
"You are wrong, His Royal Highness King Ji is as important as a mountain to me, without King Ji, there would be no me today, the head of this regiment will only be loyal to King Ji in this life,
You dare to provoke my relationship with King Ji, it is really a great crime.
Come, imprisoned in a water prison, starved for three days. ”
Zhao Derong immediately ordered everyone to take them down.
"Commander, the villain is a member of the Wei family, and he has something to say to the head of the group," at this time, Steward Wei struggled and shouted at Zhao Derong.
"Bring him here, and the rest of the people will be taken away."
After Steward Wei was brought back, Steward Wei hurriedly said to Zhao Derong;
"Leader, the villain is a member of the Wei family, and he is the maiden family of the noble concubine."
"This reason is not enough, the Wei family is so big, and you are not on the side of the prince. Pull it out. Zhao Derong shook his head.
"No, head of the regiment, I am on the side of the prince, I am the eyeliner arranged by the Yun Gongfang Dalang in the clan, and I reported the matter of transporting grain to Dalang this time."
"Wei Jia Dalang?" Zhao Derong was puzzled, in fact, he didn't know either.
"My family's name is Wei Siyan, and he is King Ji's uncle." Steward Wei explained anxiously.
Zhao Derong thought about it after hearing this, although he didn't know Wei Siyan, he had heard that King Ji had four uncles.
"Okay, let's take him to live in a courtyard first, and I'll write back to Chang'an to verify, if you lie to me, I'll take you fishing."
Then he waved his hand to stay,
"The head of the regiment is really powerful, we intercepted tens of thousands of stone grain this time." Boss Cao patted his ass.
"Yes, now we are the kings of the sea. I heard that two more clippers were built in the dockyard,
It's almost finished, and then our strength will be even stronger, and even the sailors of the imperial court will not be able to resist us. The second tiger also followed suit.
The petty leaders of several other ships followed.
Now they were strong, and most of them were intercepting the Japanese on the route between Silla and the Wa Kingdom.
Otherwise, if it can fill the entire Juyi Hall, then it will be spectacular.
Zhao Derong was also a little excited in his heart after hearing this, but he said;
"In the future, we will call the deputy head of the regiment, and our Royal Highness King Ji is the head of the regiment, and everything we have is given by King Ji, do you know?"
"His Royal Highness King Ji is just a name, he has never been here, and it is all the credit of the deputy head that our pirate group can have today, even if it is called the head of the group." A small boss next to Zhao Derong patted his ass,
He is Zhao Derong's most trusted subordinate and his cronies. Several of them have been following Zhao Derong and supporting Zhao Derong, they think that if Zhao Derong really reigns at sea,
At the very least, they can be crowned a big official, and they will have their own otaku women when the time comes.
"Poof~~" As soon as the little leader finished speaking, his head rose to the sky, and blood spurted upwards like a spring.
