"Using a dragon ship as bait?" Zhong Lei was very surprised when he heard this, and immediately objected: "No, no, no." Categorically not. ”

After that, no matter how everyone took turns to persuade and point out the benefits, Zhong Lei just didn't let him live or die, and he kept talking about noon without any result.

"Boss, don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again. Feng is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, and he will never hurt the young master and the county lord, and I hope you will decide. ”

As soon as Feng Li's words came out, Zhong Lei was really embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement, but threw down a cruel word.

"If I hurt the young lord and county lord at that time, I will take your life and never be merciful. ”

He stomped his feet after finishing his words, and angrily asked Zhao Chong to send him back to the dragon ship.

Everyone was really puzzled by Zhong Lei's words and deeds, so naturally they complained a lot, and some were even discouraged by it.

Wang Bao was afraid that this would disturb the morale of the army, so he told Zhong Lei's actions in the rivers and lakes, the grievances with the martial arts gangs, and the vendetta on the top of the Yellow Mountain, which was saved by the young master's family, and the Li family was killed by the two bloodsheds of good and evil in the rivers and lakes, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

I can't help but think, no wonder Zhong Lei treats the young master as a treasure, it turns out that they are such a master and servant identity and relationship, and they have been convinced by this chief manager since then.

Zhao Zhong said: "I have a master named Luo Huo, his kung fu is extremely high, and he has achieved light work, and when the time comes, he will find him to find the bad luck of those bullshit people in the rivers and lakes, and avenge the deep hatred of the young master." ”

Wang Bao nodded, feeling that the Zhao brothers were also loyal and righteous people, so he smiled and said: "The young master's bloody feud will be avenged by the young master when he grows up, and this will solve the hatred." Since you Zhao brothers have chosen my young master, then work hard, and Tianbo Mansion will never treat you badly. ”

After resting on the island for two days, Feng Li left Wang Bao, Bai Zizong, Dongye Suo, the six Zhao brothers, fifty archers, as well as Bai Zizong's sailors and all the fishermen, took advantage of the night to take Fang Shichuan and his own part of the twelve fast boats, and returned to the dragon ship with the treasures of the two islands and William's fleet, and let the treasures be carried on the dragon ship and put them in storage.

Immediately set up a banquet in the front hall, inviting the young master, the county lord, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles without looking back, the flying demon heroine, Azaguri, Yang Biao, and the iron-headed monk to celebrate the success of seizing the island.

Hearing that this battle alone had won more than 8,000 taels of gold, 1,230,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of boxes of treasures and porcelain, Azaguri said: "Chief Zhong, then what should we do when we go back, it is better to fight pirates here and rob silver, how happy it is." ”

The iron-headed monk also said: "Yes, after fighting the pirates, we will go to occupy a big island and let the young master be the emperor, how easy it is." ”

This was just a joke, but Zhong Lei immediately fell in love when he heard it.

"That's what the iron-headed monk said. If she occupies some space and raises some soldiers and horses, what can she Li Guifei do to my young master?"

Thinking of this, he asked the Flying Demon Girl with a smile.

"Senior, what would you think if I asked you and your wife to train an elite division of five thousand people for the young master?"

The Flying Demon Lady glanced at her husband and said, "If the young master really needs such a troop of troops, do it." ”

Zhong Lei smiled and said, "Senior, it's not that I want to suspect anyone, but someone who has regarded the young master as a threat, otherwise he would not have been assassinated." The words of the iron-headed monk just now deeply inspired me, if we occupy some places or cities at that time, the young master will at least be safer, but this will require soldiers and horses. Many, Tianbo Mansion can't afford to raise it, and besides, Long Live Lord will also suspect the motives of my Tianbo Mansion. That's why I think of you two and you. ”

The Flying Demon Lady nodded and said, "Then it's decided." As long as you need it, the young master will allow it, and our husband and wife will take the silver and leave, first recruit troops, and then enter the mountain, and give you an elite army of 5,000 people in a year. ”

The next day, Feng Li, who had been thinking about it for most of the night, wanted to say something to the chief manager, but there was no shadow of Zhong Lei after looking for the dragon ship.

After asking Zhao Hu, I learned that after Zhong Lei returned to the dragon ship, he discussed some things with the Flying Demon Woman, and he was with the young master and the county lord, and he has not come out until now.

"They all blame me. ”

Feng Li was annoyed, and told Zhao Hu about the plan to use the dragon ship as a bait to annihilate the Ryukyu pirates, and Zhong Lei's anger, and then said: "After listening to what Lord Wang said, I only knew about it, so I came to ask the chief manager for compensation." ”

Zhao Hu waved his hand and smiled, sat down in the front hall with Feng Li, and when he saw Jixiang bringing tea, he said to her: "You go and tell the chief manager, just say that General Feng wants to jump into the sea, let him come and persuade him." ”

Ji Xiang smiled and left, Feng Li asked Zhao Hu about some things in the past.

Not long after, Zhong Lei ran in, and when he saw Feng Li, he said: "My relationship with the young master will not be changed for thousands of miles, so I naturally want to be angry with you." But your plan is also for the overall situation, I said that I would kill you, but it was just angry words, if you General Feng put it in your heart, it would be too petty. ”

At this time, Tongshi accompanied William in, and Feng Li swallowed what he was about to say.

After Zhong Lei invited William to take a seat, he high-fived Ruyi and said, "Go find the four brothers, take out the two big iron boxes I packed the day before yesterday from the warehouse and move them here." ”

After Ruyi agreed, he said to William: "Brother Yang, we Han people have an ancient saying, which is called to share blessings and difficulties. It's difficult, that is, General Feng's plan still needs your help. Blessings, whatever I give you, you must receive. ”

After listening to the explanation of the matter, William really nodded and smiled, and accepted the gift from Zhong Lei.

But when the eight big men brought two big iron boxes and put them on the ground, and when they opened the lid of the boxes and saw that they were all full of gold, William was dumbfounded, shaking his head and shaking his hands.

But Zhong Lei insisted on giving away the gold, so he said: "Brother Yang, we Han people still have two ancient sayings, the good ones are called to see the people, and the ugly ones are called to sit on the ground and share the spoils." The gold was obtained from the pirates, and your merchant ships took part in the attack, so this is your due, and if you refuse to take it, it is too little. ”

After listening to Zhong Lei's strange remarks, William had to nod and smile at the gold, and then sent a small barrel of spices and ten diamonds that had been prepared to the dragon ship in advance, and gave it back to Zhong Lei, and said that the next time they met, they would send three Portuguese guns to the dragon ship.

"Thank you, Brother Yang. General Feng has something important to talk to you about, so I will miss him. ”

Zhong Lei was not polite, got up to talk, held the spice bucket and pinched the diamond in his hand, and left the front hall and went upstairs with a smile.

He pushed the door and went in to see that the young master was walking in Zama, Dexi was lying on the ground with a smile on the county lord and circling in the room, his heart was unhappy, and his face immediately sank, and he reprimanded: "Slaves are also people, how can you be so ignorant, county lord." ”

Frightened, Dan Ying hurriedly slipped off Dexi's back and hid behind Tianxiao.

Dexi was afraid that Danying would be trained, so he hurriedly said: "Boss, this is a slave voluntary, and it is ...... with the county lord."

Zhong Lei "hum"

Di glared at Dexi angrily, so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed what he was going to say next, and didn't dare to say more.

Zhong Lei asked the young master sharply.

"Young master, tell me the truth, have you ridden it?"

Tianxiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhong, I didn't ride." I beg you to stop reprimanding the county lord, she knows that she is wrong, and she will not do it again in the future. ”

Zhong Lei nodded and sighed softly, put the spice bucket on the table, reached out and touched Danying's head and said charitoly: "The surname Zhu can win the world and sit firmly in the country, just because your ancestors won the hearts of the people, they will be supported by all the people, and there will be today's stable and prosperous world." Remember, the county lord, and the young master, you must learn to respect your subordinates and cherish the people, so that you will have success and achievements when you grow up. ”

I don't know if the two little masters understood in place, but they all nodded obediently, and then he smiled.

Seeing that Dexi was still lying on the ground, he asked him to get up and said, "Dexi, don't let the county lord play some bad games in the future." ”

He gave half of the diamonds in his hands to the young masters, and then held them in his hands one by one and said with a smile: "Young master, county lord, what are these transparent stones called diamonds, which are more precious than gold, they were given by my foreign brother, and I gave them to the two of you." ”

Tianxiao gave all the diamonds to Dan Ying, shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhong, this thing is not fun, but foreign guns are fun." ”

Zhong Lei smiled when he heard this, patted his face and said, "Young master, you are still young, you will play this gun when you grow up, and now you can practice hard." ”

Tianxiao listened and said, "Uncle Zhong, then you let the two of us down, so that we can practice." ”

In order to lure out the Ryukyu pirates to rob the dragon and phoenix ships, Feng Li took the ship out with William before dawn every day according to the plan originally discussed with Bai Zizong, and threw the dragon ship on the sea alone, until the guns on the pirate clipper ship came to attack the dragon ship, and they could quickly sail from all directions, surround the thief ship, and destroy it.

After that, you can go with Wang Hu and Bai Zizong to attack the islands inhabited by pirates, dismantle artillery, take treasures, and get fast ships.

But I don't know if it was because the sea was foggy from time to time, or because the Ryukyu pirates found something wrong, but for four or five days, the pirates just didn't come out of the nest.

Feng Li felt that there was a problem, so he asked Zhong Lei to come to his room, put out all the questions he wanted, and then asked this old Jianghu to analyze it.

Zhong Lei didn't say a word when he heard it, drank fragrant tea, and thought slowly, but the result was that his eyebrows were locked and opened, opened and locked.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and screamed "not good"

Later, he said: "I once talked to Zhao Chong, and he said that the rescued fishermen were originally going to be sold by pirates to the Western Ocean to be slaves. Could it be that the foreign ship arrived there to pick up people, but the island has been occupied by Zizong and them, and they will find that something is wrong when they land on the shore. General Feng, foreigners are not stupid, if they really have arrived there, as long as the words are not right, there will be a big problem. Perhaps, since the sect is at war with the foreigners. ”

When Feng Li heard this, he suddenly felt that the situation was serious, jumped up suddenly, and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I think of it." As a general, how can he be so misguided. If there is something wrong with them, then I am a sinner through the ages, and I can't live with the young master. ”

Zhong Lei hurriedly persuaded him with words, but the more he persuaded Feng Li, the heavier it became, and finally he simply rushed out of the wing room to the deck, and shouted loudly to those brothers who were chatting and laughing in groups of three or five: "Brothers, get off the ship quickly and prepare for war." ”

Seeing that Zhong Lei also chased him out, he turned back to him and said, "Chief, you and the dragon ship are staying here, the young master pleases you." If I can't come back, please send someone to my house in Luoyang Dapo to help my old mother and wife. ”

Zhong Lei didn't listen, but when he heard it, he jumped like thunder, waved his hand and punched Feng Li in the face and fell to the ground, shocking all the brothers around him.

"Look. Look. If there's anything to see, I've never seen a beating, so get off the boat quickly. ”

After yelling at the brothers for a while, he said angrily to Feng Li: "I want to die before I get to the battlefield, you just have to do this, I still expect you to lead two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses to fight the country in the future." Besides, can you die without the permission of the young master? ”

Feng Li was not angry, he got up from the ground with a smile, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, nodded with a sigh and said, "Don't worry, the chief manager, I will come back alive." Then I went. ”

Feng Li led people to get off the dragon ship and board the clipper, and soon the order to go sounded, and after a noisy sound, it was quiet again.
