?? Originally, according to Yuan Laoba's meaning, Liu Jiadong came to report to Ji Rentang, just to knock on the side and find out Ji Rentang's current attitude, but he didn't think that Liu Jiadong's mallet would make things clear when he came up, and in and out of the words, they actually revealed that they were a group of pirates from the Yuan family, and they had the intention of making trouble with Hongtang.

Therefore, how could a person like Xie Dongqun, who is old and sophisticated, not be able to hear the information exposed in Liu Jiadong's words.

More than a year has passed, and they Jirentang have given up the idea of looking for Hongtang and making trouble for Hongtang, but that may not be. What kind of character is Xu Haibin this owner, he Xie Dongqun has been in Jirentang for so many years, and he knows it very well, although it can't be said that it is dirty and must be repaid, but Xu Haibin is really not a generous person.

However, the problem now is that just after more than a year, this Hongtang is no longer as weak as they once understood. With the strength that Hong Tang has shown now, if they want to find trouble with Hong Tang again, they Ji Rentang still have some scruples.

After all, Jirentang still has ocean trade, and Xu Haibin wanted to strangle Hong Tang, the pirate who offended their Jirentang, on the sea with the force of thunder, not because he wanted to kill chickens and police monkeys

, set an example for those who come after you! But now that Hongtang has grown too fast, with Jirentang's ability, he wants to make a move, and he has to think twice about it no matter what, is it worth it?

You must know that after the attack more than a year ago, Jirentang was lost in the hands of Hong Tang, except for a sea ship in Hong Tang's hands, and he has never lost any property these days, oh no, there is no property lost in Hong Tang's hands. Even if Hong Tang has returned strongly now, after the banner is raised, Ji Rentang's fleet acts according to the rules of others, and this Hong Tang's men and horses have not come back because they Ji Ren Tang intentionally retaliated against Hong Tang in the first place.

Therefore, from Xie Dongqun's point of view, he really didn't want to conflict with Hongtang's pirates again. However, now that Mao Dajia and Liu Jiadong's two bandits have come to the door, the meaning of the words is that they are going to deal with the people who are going to deal with Hong Tang, with the strength of their two families, if they really want to deal with Hong Tang, then Hong Tang must be more than lucky.

If this is the case, then Yoshirendo, who is closer to these two pirates, should advance and retreat with the two of them, so as to seek some benefits in the future.

"Well, what a dilemma! Forget it, such a big event is not something that a small shopkeeper can decide, so it's better to report this matter to the owner, and the owner will decide! As soon as he thought of this, Xie Dongqun immediately recruited a guy from the backyard guys, wrote a letter to him, and then set off from the backyard, rushed to Songjiang Prefecture, and reported to Xu Haibin.

In this compartment, the two of them came with hope, but now they came back with a lot of resentment, and they didn't expect that it had only been more than a year, and this Jirentang had forgotten the matter of asking for the two of them. How do they know that for businessmen, there are never eternal enemies and opponents, as long as they can make their business profitable and have enough benefits, then no matter how big the grudge is, in the eyes of the businessman, it is a trivial matter worth mentioning.

"If this is not the case, Jiadong, you go back to report to your big boss first, and say that I will definitely respond to the call of the big boss this time, as long as I agree on the time, I can bring someone to meet the big boss." On the way back, although he was disappointed in Ji Rentang's choice, Mao Dajia would not let go of the opportunity to make friends with Yuan Laoba, and immediately responded to the invitation brought by Liu Jiadong: "As for me, some time ago, I went out to sea to fight the autumn breeze and bumped into a few fat sheep, and I need to deal with the aftermath in Yuegang, and I can just wait for Xu Haibin's response." ”

"That's okay, that's it, I'll definitely bring the words of Master Mao." Although the invitation to Jirentang received some setbacks, but if he could get Mao Dajia's group of pirates to join, then Liu Jiadong would not come back empty-handed.

By the time Liu Jiadong returned to Yuan's lair near the Ryukyus, it was already three days later. When Liu Jiadong reported all the gains of this time to Yuan Laoba, Yuan Laoba was not happy or angry, and it seemed that he had already prepared for Jirentang's choice.

"Boss, it doesn't matter if he Jirentang joins, now that we have so many heroes joining, it's only easy to eliminate this Hongtang!" couldn't see what Yuan Laoba thought, Liu Jiadong could only rely on speculation and the strength of the current nest to say some optimistic words.

Not to mention, since Hong Tang began to exterminate the pirates near Penghu, every moment there were groups or groups of pirates who flowed eastward and ran to Yuan Laoba's territory. In the face of such a situation, how could Yuan Laoba, who was originally ambitious, let go of such a good opportunity, of course, it was all kinds of overtures, anxious about what others were anxious about, and it was to subsidize the food and materials of these wandering pirates, and to clear out some islands for them to settle their families, and even he took the lead to set up a temporary alliance to bring together these pirates who were scared by Hongtang to run away, ostensibly to help them get justice, but in fact, they didn't fancy the value of these pirates themselves.

Of course, on the surface, he did a beautiful job, but behind the scenes, he also made a lot of efforts, all kinds of interviews, secret meetings with the tough heroes he liked, promised all kinds of benefits, and tried to pull these good men he liked into his camp. As the so-called emperor lives up to his wishes, as more and more gangs have gone to the waters near the Ryukyus to beg for a living during these days, his Yuan Laoba's power has also grown by leaps and bounds in these days, swallowing up a lot of pirate gangs, and the gang members have also jumped from more than 2,000 people half a year ago to nearly 4,000 good hands now.

The power is expanding and developing, and it seems that everything is so beautiful, but Yuan Laoba knows very well in his heart that behind so many manpower, what a huge pressure there is, every day people eat and chew horses, and the cost of food alone is a lot of money. And because many small and medium-sized gangs have gone to the Ryukyu sea to beg for a living, which has also invisibly affected the business of their own gangs, compared with before, the income of the entire gang can be said to have plummeted.

Therefore, in Liu Jiadong's view, Jirentang, a merchant who only has a little money but does not have a few real warships, is really dispensable for the big plans they are planning now. But in Yuan Laoba's opinion, it is the best medicine he can think of now to solve the urgent needs of their gang.
