How dare Luzon send warships to block the way of the Dongjiang Army at this time? This was obviously illogical, and after a little thought, Mao Wenlong ordered the whole army to stop advancing and wait for their arrival.

Sure enough, not long after, two hurried Luzon warships came to rest less than a nautical mile from the warships of the Dongjiang Army.

Two small boats with a Luzon official sailed towards the convoy of the Dongjiang Army, during which the Luzon envoys kept issuing flags demanding that the Dongjiang Army not open fire.

The envoys and officials of the Luzon State were finally brought to Mao Wenlong after being controlled by layers. Looking at the sweaty Luzon envoy officials in front of him, Mao Wenlong's face was full of gloom.

"Who is coming, why don't you kneel when you see our headquarters?" Chen Qiyu suddenly shouted.

"Plop"

I saw that the thin envoy of Luzon was directly frightened and turned pale, and he knelt on the deck in response, making a lot of noise.

"You ten emissaries sent by the king of Luzon?" Mao Wenlong stared coldly at the spineless messenger in front of him, and was very disdainful in his heart.

The people in the army look down on this kind of bloodless person the most. The head can be broken and the blood can be shed, but it can't be without dignity, this is a respected man in the Tenth Army.

"Back to the general army, Xia Guan is indeed a messenger sent by our king, and on the order of my king, I came to ask the general army for help!" The Luzon envoy officials were quite frank and explained the reason with one mouth.

The messenger actually came to ask for help, which surprised Mao Wenlong, but he didn't show it on his face, but became deeper: "Help? Why do we need to call for help, we didn't attack Luzon. ”

"The general army may have misunderstood, our king has never intended to be an enemy of the Dongjiang army. But when the Ming warship arrived, our king had already begun to prepare for it. It was that Nangong Xianming who insisted on going his own way, insisting that the Ming warship came to attack Luzon......"

When the envoy official said this, he paused, he quietly looked at Mao Wenlong's face, and found that Mao Wenlong was not angry, so he went on to explain: "The power of the Luzon Navy has always been controlled by Nangong Xianming. My king also has no way to take him, for Nangong Xianming to lead the pirate army to attack the general warship, my king also knows that it is inappropriate, and has sent warships to come to inform the general army, but helplessly, but they are all hindered by Nangong Xianming. ”

"That's the explanation for your inaction?" Mao Wenlong unceremoniously interrupted the envoy's words.

"Chief soldier, what the subordinate said is true! After Nangong Xianming was defeated by the general army this time, he actually wanted to coerce my king to send troops to come and fight with the Ming warship. My king naturally refused to agree, and that Nangong Xianming held a grudge. He launched a mutiny last night and completely seized military power, and now my king has been placed under house arrest in the imperial city. Nangong Xianming has also begun to gather all the soldiers and horses, and they may come to attack at any time. ”

The Luzon envoy was afraid of being interrupted by Mao Wenlong again, and when he spoke, he didn't even need to change his anger, and directly explained the reason.

Mao Wenlong fell silent, and the messenger in front of him didn't seem to have any need to deceive himself. That Nangong Xianming would indeed do such a thing. And the mutiny of Luzon, he can completely ignore it, but in this way, Fang Xiaohai, who stays here and prepares to contain Nangong Xianming, will inevitably be dangerous.

After thinking deeply, Mao Wenlong gave Chen Qiyu beside him a look and asked him to send someone to contact Fang Xiaohai immediately. Ask him how he is doing at the moment?

Chen Qiyu understood, and after giving up, he quietly left. Only then did Mao Wenlong put his mind back on the messenger in front of him.

"Get up." Mao Wenlong whispered.

When the envoy stood up, Mao Wenlong asked, "Who is this Nangong Xianming, and why is he able to control the military power of Luzon?" ”

If it was just that the military power of the water division was controlled by Nangong Xianming, Mao Wenlong would not have any surprises. But now that even the land military power of Luzon has been controlled by Nangong Xianming overnight, Mao Wenlong has to be curious, what is this Nangong Xianming capable of?

The white face of the Luzon envoy showed a bitter expression, and he replied: "The chief soldier doesn't know, this Nangong Xianming is actually a pirate. And in addition to the identity of a pirate, this person has another identity. ”

"What is that?" Mao Wenlong looked at the envoy's frightened appearance, and he was very unhappy.

"Another identity of this Nangong Xianming is the third leader of the 'Tiger Pirate Group', the largest pirate group in the South China Sea." The envoy didn't dare to swallow anymore, and opened his mouth to report Nangong Xianming's family background.

"The Tiger Pirates?" Mao Wenlong frowned and muttered.

During his time in the South China Sea, he had never heard of the existence of such a pirate group?

"Yes, it's the Tiger Pirates. This pirate group has been entrenched in the South China Sea for nearly a hundred years, and almost the entire South China Sea is controlled by it. We in Luzon have always been bullied by them, but helplessly, their strength is not something we can resist. ”

The Luzon envoys spoke again in a slurred manner, and the Luzon state had been subservient to the upper court since the Tang Dynasty. Especially in the Zhu Di period, with the protection of Zheng He's fleet, Luzon has always been smooth. But since the demise of Zheng He's fleet, the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, and their lives have become more and more difficult.

Today, Luzon is almost under the control of pirates who have entrenched in the region. This time, Nangong Xianming directly launched a mutiny, the king was placed under house arrest, and the military power was seized.

The king of Luzon knew that the Ming warship, which had not yet left, was his only savior, so he sent someone to ask Mao Wenlong for help at all costs.

Mao Wenlong was pondering that the changes in Luzon will always affect the safety of the South China Sea. If Mao Wenlong wants the South China Sea to calm down, then he must control Luzon in his hands.

And now a tiger pirate group has suddenly appeared, and it seems that this pirate group is quite powerful. Mao Wenlong had to pay attention to it.

"You go down first, and the general soldier can give you an answer in the afternoon." After Mao Wenlong thought deeply, he directly issued an eviction order.

did not get a response from Mao Wenlong, and the Luzon envoy was very unwilling. But he understands better that he can't disobey Mao Wenlong, otherwise his own life will be in danger every minute. In desperation, the Luzon envoy had no choice but to retreat.

After that, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the whole army to stop and recuperate. All the generals in the army were convened to discuss countermeasures, and the final decision depended on the news that Chen Qiyu brought back to Fang Xiaohai.

Chen Qiyu did not let Mao Wenlong wait for a long time, and came back in less than half an hour, saying that Fang Xiaohai's side had already fought with the navy of Luzon.
