Zhao Xingdou and his party, who were belated, where could they still find the traces of those pirates when they returned, the sea was vast, even if they cruised countless circles on the sea, they didn't even see a shark that picked up a leak and got a lot of meat, let alone those pirates.

"Xingdou, didn't I say you, what did you do, so that people slipped into our hinterland without knowing it?" For his old subordinates, Wu Daofu didn't give face at all, and it was a complaint to split his head and cover his face.

However, Zhao Xingdou is also very aggrieved, their fleet is only more than 20 ships, where is it possible to take care of a sea area as huge as Amami Goshima, and it is not that they can only cruise on a few important routes to guard against various emergencies!

What's more, the sea is vast, as long as the pirates are willing to take a long detour and bypass the waters of the five islands of Amami, it is not easy to avoid Zhao Xingdou.

"Big brother, we can't help it, who let us have this little manpower, where can we take care of it, or I'll leave a few warships here to help you protect one or two?" Zhao Xingdou also saw the tragic situation on Iriomote Island, and he was also holding back a little fire in his heart, it doesn't matter if something goes wrong with the Ryukyu Kingdom, it is not his own foundation anyway, but although the Iriomote Mishima is still owned by the Ryukyu Kingdom on the surface, in fact, he has already been surnamed Hong, how can Zhao Xingdou not feel distressed.

"Forget it, the other party is so carefully prepared, it must not be untargeted, there must be a lot of abnormalities over there, right?" Fortunately, Wu Daofu is just complaining, but he is not ignorant of the general situation, after thinking about it with Xiao Xiurong for a few days, they are all suspecting that the other party's attack this time is so fast and accurate, I am afraid it is not an emergency, if they really kill their new army, who they will deal with next, they don't know.

"There is indeed something abnormal, there is a flash marriage in the waters of Amami Goshima, and there have been a lot of single reconnaissance sentinels recently, always wandering around outside out of nowhere, as if they are scouting something." Zhao Xingdou came back this time, in addition to rescuing Wu Daofu and them, he also wanted to come to talk to Wu Daofu and them about the abnormal behavior in the Amami Sea area, and wanted to discuss with them.

As a branch of the Whale Department, Zhao Xingdou has now been promoted to the deputy head of the Whale Department, but most of the Whale Department's participants are all staying by Lu Yu's side, so Zhao Xingdou does not have two crew members here, and Zhao Xingdou naturally came to Wu Daofu, the eldest brother and former head of the regiment, to discuss many major matters.

"Moreover, from the mouths of the merchants in the past, they also heard that the Shimazu family on the side of Satsuma and Kagoshima has made frequent moves, and has requisitioned a lot of fishing boats and merchant ships!" At the same time, Zhao Xingdou provided Wu Daofu and them with information that was not reliable, but it was extremely probable.

"Hmph, it seems that this Satsuma Japanese is still a thief!" Wu Daofu's face was solemn, his eyes were full of fighting spirit and murderous intent, this time he spent a lot of energy on the Ryukyu Naval Division, almost became a waste soldier, and after getting Zhao Xingdou's information, he naturally attributed all this to the head of the Shimazu family in Satsuma.

"Since there are so many situations over there, why do you still have all the troops to come back?" It was Xiao Xiurong, who heard Zhao Xingdou say this, and asked with questions and worries.

"There shouldn't be any problem, we still have a lot of men left in the Amami Walled City, and King Shangning himself has two thousand men stationed on it, it should be no problem, right?" Zhao Xingdou was reminded and replied with a little hesitation!

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily, seeing that this group of people has a precise plan of action and an orderly way of doing things, I can't say that they will have the next move for each other." Although there is no clear proof, Xiao Xiurong and the others still turned their biggest suspicions to the Satsuma Wa people, and they are the only ones, and now they still have the courage to find trouble with their Hongtang, and they still have the determination to carry it out.

"That ......" Zhao Xingdou was a little frightened, and his confidence in speaking was a little insufficient, if this is the case, if the other party takes advantage of the opportunity of their brigade callback to send troops to Amami Godao, the Japanese people may not have much strength foundation in naval warfare, but the opponent's land combat strength is indeed obvious to all, I am afraid that the soldiers in the Amami Walled City may not be able to block the opponent's attack.

"Xingdou, you better send two warships back to investigate first, and your large army will temporarily stop in the harbor first!" Wu Daofu also recalled, the other party's previous plan made Wu Daofu feel a little profound in his heart, although he was an opponent, but the other party designed to let him be tricked, Wu Daofu still admired the other party a little.

"That'...... All right! "After all, his main task is to help the Ryukyu royal family resist the attack from Satsuma, and if the Amami Walled City, which was so hard to get his hands on, falls into the hands of the Japanese people again, then they will not only be unable to explain to King Shangning, but they will also be punished by the base camp.

Fortunately, the sea area of Amami Godao and the sea area of the Yaeyama Islands are not too far away, and it doesn't take more than three days to go back and forth, so although they have a lot of worries in their hearts, Wu Daofu and they don't care too much, they just wait for news from all walks of life in the stronghold with Zhao Xingdou.

At the same time, Wu Daofu also sent a letter to the Ryukyu Pirate District, asking any of the members of them if there were other pirates passing by, or if they were simply some of them who were troublemakers.

Naturally, the news of the return was not successful, but from Gong Zhuyi, who is now considered a powerful group of Ryukyu pirates, I heard an ambiguous news: someone once brought them a message, hoping to bribe their head to send troops to attack the Hongtang station on Iriomote Island, but they refused on the spot.

But as for who the person who wanted to buy them was, Gong Zhuyi and the others didn't know anything, because the other party didn't show his true identity at all, and he knew a lot about the news that Li Tianyang took people to the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

"I don't know, although we didn't pay attention to the news that the young master brought people to Jingshi, but we didn't make a big deal about it, and ordinary pirates or widows wouldn't know about it so quickly!" Xiao Xiurong frowned and said the doubts in his heart.

"This question is simple, do you think those businesses we have friends with are really the same as us?" Regarding Xiao Xiurong's question, Wu Daofu saw it clearly: "Among the pirates we have swept up over the years, do you think there are no other big businesses behind them?" We swept away people's minions, and it seems that we have returned the peace and tranquility of this sea, but in fact, some people have long been dissatisfied with us. ”

"It's just that because our Hongtang is strong now, the other party can't do anything about us, otherwise why would the people of this Fujian government be eyeing our team now, isn't there someone behind it?"
