Chang Xun said with emotion: "When the two of us joined the army together, we were made meritorious contributions together, I saved him many times, and he also saved me many times, I don't know if you understand this feeling." ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "Yes, I have also been a soldier, and now I am also a soldier, but I can only promise not to embarrass her, if she does something bad, I can't turn a blind eye." ”

Chang Xun said disapplausively: "How is it possible, what bad things can she do as a woman." ”

Situ Muran reminded: "There is collusion between the pirates here and the Liusang Empire, seeing that those warships are not, those are all provided by the Liusang Empire." ”

Chang Xun's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Are you sure?" ”

Situ Muran nodded: "Well, Cai Ning admitted it personally, I also asked other pirates, and the answer is the same, there should be no fake." While speaking, Yuan Fang and his party came to a building complex in the south of the island, and walked into the largest building to sit down, which was the meeting hall of the pirates, because it was not affected by the war, and the contents were completely preserved.

Yuan Fang sat in the first place, Chang Xun sat next to him, Sang Rou and a few people stood with their hands tied, standing behind Yuan Fang, and Chang Xun also stood behind two frowning guards, but compared with Sang Rou and the eight of them, it looked a little shabby, and the military rank was only a captain, one level lower than Sang Rou and them.

Soon, Cai Ning was escorted up, and the sailors roughly kicked Cai Ning to his knees and stood behind him with his eyes wide.

Yuan Fang cleared his throat and asked, "Your name is Cai Ning?" Is it the leader of the cross-sand pirates? ”

Cai Ning knew that the general trend was gone, he didn't have the courage to see death as home, let alone an iron-clad soldier, he didn't want to die, and these big people in front of him were in his hands about life and death, he had no choice, and answered honestly: "Yes, I am Cai Ning, if you want to know anything, just ask, I will never hide it, as long as I can let me live." ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "Yo he, you're quite interesting, I like it, okay, then don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it, how did you collude with the Liusang Empire?" What is your purpose? ”

Cai Ning thought that he had not done anything unforgivable, at least not here, in order to survive, he did not hide it and said: "It was probably this time last year that the Japanese people found me and said that they could provide us with some warships and weapons to enhance our strength, and in return, we would cooperate with the Japanese people to attack the Eastern Sage Empire, and promised me high-ranking officials, fiefs and a lot of money." ”

Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you agreed?" Did they say what you were asked to do? Or where to attack? When will they come over? ”

Cai Ning replied: "Well, they are very sincere, the warship is already in place, and there are 50,000 taels of silver, with money, I can recruit more people, as for high-ranking officials or something, I am not rare, I am a pirate, it is useless to ask for those, I want this place as a fief, and I plan to continue to do my old job in the future." As for the specific things, they didn't say anything, they just said that they would contact me when the time came. ”

Yuan Fang pouted and said, "You haven't thought about it, the Liusang Empire is a land of projectiles, can they be the opponents of my Eastern Saint Empire?" You just said yes so hastily? ”

Cai Ning shook his head: "Before I agreed, I sent people to the Eastern Saint Empire to collect a lot of information, the Eastern Saint Empire is now besieged by the Ningyuan Empire and the Yuanhe Empire, and it is in danger, and the Japanese people are in the same group as those two empires, I think the Eastern Saint Empire should not be able to withstand the attack from three sides." ”

Yuan Fang snorted coldly and said, "You are not stupid, you still know how to judge the situation." ”

Situ Muran opened his mouth and asked, "You are a mouthful of the Eastern Saint Empire, listening to your words, you are not a member of the Eastern Saint Empire?" So where are you from? ”

Cai Ning said with some anger: "We are all pirates, there is no country, we have been making a living in the eastern seas, and then we encountered the joint encirclement and suppression of the navies of several countries, and we were stranded on a desert island, and then we were rescued by the original Mu Da Dang before we came here." Ladies and gentlemen, I promised the Japanese people to help, but I didn't plan to do that, so I have no direct grudge against your Eastern Saint Empire, if you want this island, I will give it to you, and the treasures on the island will also be given to you, as long as I can let me jump to life. ”

Chang Xun pouted and said: "Accepting benefits but not doing things, this is treachery, do you think that Liusang's damn widows will easily let you go?" ”

Cai Ning didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did, it was normal for pirates to cheat each other: "I have already planned, even if you don't come for a while, we will leave and return to the eastern seas, where is our paradise, by the way, my lords, although we have been here for some years, but we have never harassed the nearby merchant ships, for this sake, you can let me go." ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the sailors to take Cai Ning down: "How do I know if what you said is the truth, I'll ask someone else." ”

Next, Yuan Fang and the others asked several other leaders of the Hengsha pirates, and the answers they got were similar, it seems that Cai Ning is telling the truth, and the sailors also found a large number of packed gold and silver belongings on the pirate ships that went out to fight, food and weapons, etc., it seems that these guys are really preparing to slip their feet and scatter people in the near future.

In addition, Yuan Fang also asked about another thing about the former leader in the mouth of the pirates, it is said that the Hengsha pirates were founded by her, they wore the name of the pirates, but they never robbed, but went to the eastern seas to do business with the pirates, Cai Ning, it was at that time that the former leader became strong.

Later, Cai Ning and they were in trouble, rescued by the kind leader and brought back to Long Ring Island, at the beginning, Cai Ning and they were still very peaceful, but after a long time, these guys began to cause trouble, and later, they simply took the position of Long Ring Island and the big boss, but Cai Ning still has a conscience, he did not kill all the people as before, he did not embarrass those aborigines, let's just call it so, in addition to not letting them leave Long Roundabout, divide the eastern and northern parts into their residence, and provide enough food, Cai Ning and the others only want things that are useful to them, such as ships and belongings, and when they leave, they will still return the things here to their original owners.

Moreover, the original leader has a great prestige on the island, and the pirates are not only his subordinates, but also many other pirates who have fallen or been sold by pirates, and they are very grateful to the original leader.

And those aborigines did not resist after being seized power, they honestly stayed on the island and continued to live peacefully, and the two sides lived in peace for two years, knowing that today, Yuan Fang defeated Cai Ning's people, and those people stood up and took control before the heavy cavalry landed
