The black wolf still had doubts in his heart, after all, a series of things that had happened recently were a little abnormal, there were too many coincidences, and it was impossible not to make people suspicious, especially since the three groups of people he sent out had not returned, which was what he suspected the most.

Although Wolf Yi took out some of the items, it seems that it can prove that the brother he sent out had an accident, but if Wolf Yi himself has a problem, then this accident cannot be a storm, but someone has kidnapped his men, so the situation is complicated.

When a person is the lowest **, he can be heartless, he can not think about anything, as long as he lives well, but as a leader who controls many subordinates, this is a fatal shortcoming, because this will bury many people's lives because of carelessness, and it will bury everything about himself.

Therefore, once a person sits in a leadership position, he will become suspicious, firstly, for prudence, and secondly, because many specific things do not need to be done by himself, and with more energy to think and think about more problems, it is naturally easier to find flaws.

Although there is a famous saying, the employer does not suspect that the suspect does not use, but that is also done after knowing enough about a subordinate, in addition, the employer also has a trick, once the subordinate who is given a heavy responsibility rebels, he can deal with it well, so as to avoid making himself suffer heavy losses.

As a big pirate with twenty or thirty thousand subordinates, the black wolf must have his own advantages, and it is impossible not to have the most basic sense of defense, so as long as things are a little abnormal, he must make the necessary reactions.

Of course, his suspicions will not be told to irrelevant people, let alone make the wolf feel that he is being suspected, otherwise, once it is self-defeating, it will destroy the relationship between brothers.

According to the order, the black wolf's subordinates adopted a surveillance policy for the first and second subordinates of the wolf, but the first and second two of the wolf and Wang Liu brought more than 500 people, the number is very large, and it is obviously more difficult to carry out comprehensive monitoring without being discovered by the other party, it is easy to do in a place with many people, and no one can confirm that they are being monitored, and once they enter a place with few people, there is a dog behind them to become suspicious.

Therefore, in order not to be discovered by the other party, we can only adopt the method of focusing on monitoring, monitor some key points, and in addition, track and monitor people with abnormal behavior.

Fortunately, the more than 500 people under the command of the wolf were not safely dispersed, most of them stayed in the ships and guest rooms, and only a small number of people went out, so it was not too difficult to monitor.

To have a group of subordinates who are strong enough and loyal enough to monitor the wolf, the black wolf is still more relieved, in addition, he has also made a lot of deployments, such as strengthening the guard force and sending ten big ships to the direction of the Dragon Tooth Gate to investigate the situation again.

In his opinion, the reason why the subordinates sent out in the previous few times did not return safely was because there was only one ship, and once it was raided by the Tang army, it would not be able to escape, but this time, he sent ten large ships, all of which were large ships with a tonnage of nearly 1,000, and the probability of all encountering accidents was relatively low.

After having a meticulous and reliable arrangement, the black wolf returned to his residence with peace of mind, ready to rest, tomorrow is his birthday, but he can't show a tired state.

Wolf Yi's mood has always been uneasy, he is not 100% sure of the plan he is executing, he agreed to come to carry out the mission, it is with a gambling mood, because he has no way out, but to betray his brother, his life is estimated to be over.

Tomorrow evening is the time to carry out the task, he is nervous without a trace of sleepiness, for more than an hour, he is pacing back and forth on the beach, seemingly elegant, but in fact there is no mood to appreciate the sea view.

After all, there are still a lot of people on the beach, there are his own people, there are also people with black wolves, and people who are flattering nearby, in short, there are all kinds of people, and there are many Westerners with blue eyes and high noses.

Among all the guests, the wolf led the most soldiers and horses, with more than 500 people, and the rest of the people from all walks of life brought their entourage with a maximum of only a few 300, and there were 1200 people, 50 people is the bottom line, and there are no fewer people, otherwise it will be too cold, and Li An's rowing is not enough.

"My lord, my subordinates took a closer look, and it seems that we are being watched."

A small leader who came from not far away warned Wolf One.

The wolf was startled, and hurriedly glanced around the crowd, but did not find anyone deliberately staring at him.

"Who, who's spying on us?"

Wolf asked nervously.

The little leader hurriedly said: "Don't scan the crowd at will, your subordinates tell you that the three people on the left side of the front, as well as the fruit seller on the right, have been staring in this direction, which is very suspicious." ”

"Maybe they're looking at the scenery?"

Wolf said.

The little leader said: "What the king said is that there is also such a possibility, in order to prove this, the king can walk three hundred steps to the east, out of the sight of these people, to see if they will change their position, continue to track the king, and his subordinates will first send people to mix in their vicinity to observe their movements at close range, so that they can make a judgment." ”

The wolf nodded and said, "Okay, you go and arrange it!" ”

Soon, Wolf Yi and his subordinates walked three hundred steps east, out of the sight of those men, and continued to enjoy the scenery from another position.

"Look back and see if they've moved."

The wolf looked at the sea and asked calmly.

The little leader glanced back and said, "My lord, they have moved, and it seems that they have followed, and even the vegetable and fruit sellers have moved their places. ”

"Someone is spying on me, is the black wolf starting to suspect me?"

The wolf suddenly became nervous.

Soon, several small pirates rushed over in turn, and reported what they had seen, these people were indeed arrows, seemingly careless, not very noticeable, but as long as they deliberately observed, they could still be seen.

"King, it seems that this black king is very suspicious! He doesn't trust the king at all, could it be that we have a flaw somewhere. ”

The little boss frowned.

The wolf scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "Where does this king know, there are more places to show the stuffing, who knows which link has gone wrong, however, the black wolf has begun to monitor us, which is troublesome, this will bring great obstacles to our actions tomorrow night, and we may not be able to successfully complete the task assigned by Li Shilang." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions! Can't miss it. ”

The little boss was also in a hurry.

Once a person is being watched, there is a very irritating sense of powerlessness, after all, it will make their actions powerful and have a great possibility of leaking.

"No, you can't stay at the beach for too long, let's go to the guest room! Otherwise, it will make the black wolf even more suspicious. ”

The wolf pretended not to know anything, and led several of his subordinates to the guest room prepared for him by the black wolf.

After entering the guest room, Wolf Yi first asked his subordinates to check the surroundings to make sure that no one would eavesdrop around the room, and some brothers were also left outside to guard, so that outsiders could not get close.

Of course, putting on such a state of being a great enemy will inevitably arouse suspicion, but it is better than a secret conversation being heard by others, and in addition, it can also be interpreted as a leader, a person with status, who must be protected by a large group of people.

The brothers who were sent out to step on the spot returned to the courtyard of the guest room in turn and reported on what they had discovered.

"My lord, the situation is not good! In the big tent and residence of the black wolf, the strength of the army has been more than doubled, and even a few arrow towers have been temporarily built, those arrow towers are well defended, and they can accommodate more than ten people, which is a fortress that is difficult to overcome! ”

A little pirate worried.

"Wang, the situation on my side is also very bad, and I don't know what's going on, there are always people staring at me behind me, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be the same, so I won't have a chance to drug the food."

Another subordinate said.

"My lord, I found ten big ships in the harbor that they had left and were heading southeast, I wonder what they were going to do?"

Another subordinate reported.

Now that a lot of the situation has been reported, the wolf looked very bad after hearing it, after all, these are all bad news, and anyone who listens to it will not be in a good mood.

"King, it seems that the Black King is completely suspicious of us, if it really can't work, let's hurry up! Staying here may be a dead end! ”

A subordinate was in a hurry and blurted out.

"Escape, where can we flee to, the soldiers and horses brought are not our old brothers, they will not follow us to escape at all, we only have a dozen people, we can't even drive a boat, how can we escape."

Another objected.

"But now, the black wolf has increased its defensive measures, and in addition, there are people in the back kitchen all the time, so we don't have the slightest chance of winning?"

One of the subordinates said.

The wolf thought for a long time, and said: "Since we are now suspected, then don't do anything, just let everything be, tomorrow in the middle of the night, the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Li Shilang will be killed here, we can take advantage of the chaos after Li Shilang launched an attack, and concentrate all the soldiers and horses to capture the black wolf, although some people will run away, but as long as we can capture the black wolf, our task will be half completed, and the predicament we are facing now is much more severe than Li Shilang expected, Naturally, it can't go according to the original design ideas. ”

"The king is wise, and his subordinates think this is feasible."

"The king, my subordinates also agree."

"King, this suggestion must be told to the officer of the forward battalion who leads the troops, and as long as he agrees, there will be no problem."

The wolf nodded and said, "You go and persuade the officers of the forward battalion!" This king is tired, go! ”

"The king rests early, and I'll retire."

The small leaders retired in turn, and one of them went to the officer of the forward battalion who was in the cabin and told him about the actions that the wolf and the others had discussed.

At the beginning, the officer of the forward battalion did not agree, he insisted on implementing Ang Lee's plan of action, and took the lead in controlling the black wolf and the guests, but after listening to the careful and rigorous analysis of the small leader, he also felt that the original plan was no longer feasible, and slowly accepted the task and said that he would obey.

Early the next morning, as if nothing had happened, Wolf Yi went to see the black wolf as usual, and had breakfast with the black wolf, and had a few drinks by the way.

Pirates such as Wolf One and Black Wolf drink almost three times a day, drink a little in the morning, drink more at noon, and drink wildly at night, and they have never stopped throughout the year, and they have not drunk alcoholic liver, which is considered their luck.

Of course, this is also because the alcohol degree of Datang in this era is too low, the normal ones are only a dozen degrees, and there are a few degrees of light wine, drinking this kind of wine, it is naturally not easy to get drunk, and the harm to the body is not as great as that of high-concentration alcohol, the most important thing is that there is no industrial alcohol, that is, fake wine, all the drinks for people to drink are brewed with grain, and Jiankang is still very secure.

Dozens of miles south of Longyamen, Li An and his huge fleet stayed there, and few ships passed through this water, after all, the commercial waterways are close to Longyamen, and fishing boats are more willing to choose the location of the archipelago with many fish, and will not go to the unfamiliar sea area with few fish.

Ang Lee was having breakfast, with sugared soy milk, poached eggs, sliced cooked mutton, a plate of stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and a small plate of raw garlic.

This kind of breakfast is not only nutritious enough, but also very delicious, and it is a very sour feeling to eat in your mouth.

The only regret is that after eating raw garlic, the taste in the mouth is relatively big, which will make the people around him very uncomfortable, and Ang Lee is the supreme commander and does not care about this.

"Li Shilang, the pirate ship has been found in the northwest direction."

A subordinate reported.

On the wide sea, under normal circumstances, it is the big ships that are discovered by the other party first, but Ang Lee's fleet, each ship is equipped with advanced observation equipment, which can shorten the distance by dozens of times, so it is always them who discover each other first, not the other party who discovers them first.

"Pirate ships, how many are there, how far are they, and where are they going?"

Ang Lee asked professionally.

"There are ten ships in all, all of them of 1,000 tons, and they are coming in the direction of us at a distance of fifty miles."

The subordinates reported accurately.

Li An smiled indifferently and said: "This must be a pirate ship heading to Rising Sea Island, could it be that the black wolf has become suspicious, and the order is to go down, all retreat, and move towards Rising Sea Island, leaving five gunboats to make a detour to the south, preparing to go around the back of the pirate ship, cutting off their retreat, and these pirate ships must all be destroyed." ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

The subordinate replied seriously.

Soon, the huge fleet of more than 100 ships led by Li An began to retreat in turn, but they would not retreat too far, as long as they successfully surrounded the pirate ships, in this way, they only needed a few shots to capture all ten pirate ships.
