According to the survey conducted the day before, Ono had already drawn up a rough topographic map.

The deserted island is located in the sea area forty miles away from the Daming coastline, and the outer reefs are dense, which is not conducive to the entry and exit of large ships. Therefore, it is estimated that Yokoji's entourage is limited, but Yokoji's subordinates will land on the island in advance to check.

And the island was very small, and there was no place to hide, so tonight these sixteen people would be sent to the island by night and hide in the waters of the outer reefs for a day and a night, and the environment was as difficult as you can imagine.

Yun and Yokota will follow him to the island to meet Yokoji as Ono's entourage, and then they will send a signal, and the ambush personnel will forcibly attack, some of them will control the ship to prevent Yokoji from escaping, and the rest will take Yokoji and kill him if they resist. The task was assigned, and the dozen or so people set off.

At noon the next day, Ono was informed that they would meet somewhere on the coast, and that they would be led to the island by the people of Yokoji, so in the evening the three of them came to the previously agreed rendezvous place.

Yokota put on simple makeup and brought a large hat to cover his face so as not to be discovered by familiar people. The clouds are much more casual, and I believe no one recognizes him. After a while, twenty or thirty people came one after another, all dressed as Han Chinese. Some people knew each other well, and there were people who constantly greeted Ono and carefully probed each other about their thoughts and attitudes towards the meeting.

"Most of them are Han people who are engaged in smuggling business, and the few guys over there are people from the Haisha Gang, led by their second boss, the sea wolf, and that guy is not very good-tempered and shows his knife at every turn. There are also a few widows who have been lurking like me, and the old man who takes the lead is a figure of the uncle and uncle in the family, but I don't know what their attitude is towards this change. Ono pointed quietly.

At the beginning of the first shift, the boat that met the crossroads arrived. It was an ordinary fishing boat, but although the sailors on board were wearing Han clothes, their hairstyles and weapons were not disguised, and they looked like Japanese samurai. The men looked at the crowd with cold eyes, and after making sure that the number was correct, they beckoned everyone to board the ship and sail into the distance.

Everyone is an old man, and after only a stick of incense, some people keenly discovered that the location was not a pre-agreed desert island. When someone raised an objection, the samurai at the head just said coldly: "We just follow the arrangement and do things, and Yokoji will give you an explanation later." ”

At this time, the three of them also understood that the cunning Henglu temporarily changed the meeting place. In order to reduce its own risk, the news released at that time was just smoke. His own preparations are useless, and Yunyun's heart is a little bottomless. The other party is treacherous, and his subordinates are also fierce, Yokota's serious injuries have not healed and he is unable to fight, and Ono doesn't seem to have much combat effectiveness, and it seems that success or failure is on him.

Although everyone is apprehensive, they are powerless to change. An hour later, a battleship appeared in everyone's sight.

"It's one of Kojiro's main battleships. I didn't expect to dare to appear in the Daming Sea!" said Yokota in a low voice.

"How many people can a ship of this size usually hold?" Yun was assessing the opponent's combat power.

"Normally, it can accommodate more than 100 people, but if you remove the sailors, there are about sixty or seventy people who actually have combat effectiveness. But not all of these people are Henglu's diehards, because in the past he was only in charge of internal affairs, and my people have always been in charge of the smuggling trade. And everyone except me is a one-line contact, so there must be more than twenty people in his entourage who are my original subordinates. It's just not known if these people were coerced or if they really switched to his men. ”

As he spoke, the battleship signaled the fishing boat to move closer. When the two sides got closer and closer, by the moonlight, the clouds saw that the deck of the Gushou was full of Japanese ronin. Looks like I'm going to give them a kick!

"There are about twenty people who are not ours, and I recognize the leader as Kazuo Yamano, Kojiro's right-hand man. The one in white next to him was my younger brother Yokoji. It seems that he does not fully control the power of the family, and has to use external forces to deter these old men. Yokota said disdainfully.

When the fishing boat approached, the sailors on the turtle head boarded the gangplank and led everyone onto the big boat. Henglu greeted him with a smile on his face, and hugged his fists in fluent Chinese: "Thank you for your faces, I welcome you on behalf of the family." There was a banquet in the cabin, and we talked while eating. ”

The group followed him into the cabin, and Yokoji sat down on the main seat, while Kazuo Yamano sat beside him in a big way. Everyone else is a force at the same table, and the retinue has no right to go to the table, and Yun and Yokota also take advantage of the situation to stand behind Ono.

After a glass of wine and a lot of kind words, Yokoji got to the point. I saw him say with a sad face: "Everyone knows about my brother Yokota's disappearance. I am deeply saddened myself. Over the years, under Yokota's leadership, our family has worked closely with you, and our business has flourished and generated huge profits. Now that I have taken over the family business, I hope we can continue to work together as we did before. Although in the short term, due to the impact of the Ming policy, our business has suffered significant losses. But I believe that with everyone's efforts, we will be able to get through it and go to the next level!"

A few businessmen took the lead in applauding, but most were silent, and the scene seemed a little deserted. Henglu was a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat and wanted to say something encouraging, but was interrupted by an old man sitting first on his left.

The old man Yun had already noticed it, and Ono had also pointed out that he was a veteran figure in the family before. Just by the position he sits in and the momentum of the person on top, he knows that his status is not low. And from the moment he came in, he sat there with a gloomy face and didn't move, and he didn't even give face to the cross-road toast.

The old man said slowly, "I don't know how the lord disappeared?"

"Well, it was an attack, the flagship sank, and my brother lost the news. Henglu said cautiously, looking a little afraid of the old man.

"Have you ever found the body of the lord?" asked the old man again.

"No, but we've sent all our ships to search the entire area, but there's still no progress. You know, there was a big storm at sea after my brother's disappearance, so my brother's chances of survival were almost none. Yokoji explained.

"Okay!" the old man sneered, "Then who attacked the lord?"

"Well, it's Kojiro's fleet. Yokoji replied honestly. Because there were many ships passing by after the incident, and the sea area was full of wreckage and floating corpses of large ships, so even if he wanted to cover it up, he couldn't keep everyone's mouth shut.

"Has the revenge been avenged?" the old man pressed forward step by step.

Yokoji was already sweating on his forehead, so he could only shake his head.

Bang, the old man has flipped the table. Asked loudly, "How did I hear that you and Kojiro have fully cooperated!" and then pointed to Kazuo Yamano next to Yokoji: "Why do you still let the enemy sit next to you?"

As soon as his words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Most of the Han merchants didn't know Kazuo Yamano, but they hated and feared Kojiro. Because the pirates led by him not only robbed civilians but also smuggled boats, these perennial smuggling businesses suffered losses in his hands. So when they heard that it was Kojiro, they all subconsciously screamed.

Henglu's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only leave the table and come to the middle of the middle and keep clasping his fists and saying loudly: "Everyone be quiet, please listen to my explanation." It turns out that we did have some misunderstandings with Kojiro, and there were frictions. But this time I have already had a profound conversation with him. In view of the current situation, we agree that cooperation is in the interest of all. Continuing the conflict can only give the Daming Sailor a chance to break through. So this time we are here to announce the details of our cooperation. Our family's proximity to mainland Japan led to the provision of supplies and ship overhaul for Kojiro. And Kojiro provided escort for our smuggling boats. I hope that everyone will forget the grievances of the past and create a better future together......"

His words played a certain role, except for the old man led by the Japanese who did not give up, the other Han merchants quieted down. Merchants are profit-oriented, so why not do it if they continue to be profitable and lose potential threats!

The old man was still arguing, but the scene changed abruptly, and a dagger was abruptly inserted into his chest. With a look of disbelief on his face, he watched the blood slowly soak his clothes, wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound in his throat, and slowly fell to his knees.
