The wolf smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Hai: "Look, this is Wang Gongzi's handwritten letter, and the wife of the owner of Wang also attached the token with the letter, if you are still not at ease, you can send someone to Hangzhou next time to see it with your own eyes." ”

Xu Hai's brows stretched: "It seems that the imperial court and Governor Hu are really sincere, okay, Brother Lang, after I return to Shuangyu this time, I will help you persuade Captain Wang to accept Governor Hu's conditions." ”

A stone in the wolf's heart fell to the ground, but he still didn't show much joy on his face, raised his glass and smiled: "Then I wish our cooperation, a qiē shun lì." ”

Xu Hai glanced out the window, stood up, and said, "Brother Lang, we should be on the road, Ship Master Wang is still waiting for us on Shuangyu Island." ”

Sky Wolf nodded and said, "I'll ask you a question before getting on the boat, and I hope Brother Xu can answer truthfully." ”

Xu Hai was a little surprised, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Brother Lang, it's okay to say." ”

Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "May I ask if Yan Shifan is a guest on Shuangyu Island now?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Xu Hai's eyes, and he turned to laugh: "Brother Lang, why did he say this!" Xiao Ge always has such a noble status, how can he come to us in person? You must be kidding. ”

Heavenly Wolf sighed softly: "Brother Xu, you said that you wanted to cooperate with me, but you didn't even tell the least truth, so how can we trust each other in the future?" I think if that's the case, it will be difficult for us to take care of each other in the future, and we won't go to Shuangyu Island!" With that, the Sky Wolf stood up. Turn around and want to leave.

Xu Hai hurriedly stood up as well, and stretched out his hand to stop the wolf: "Brother Lang, if you say that you will change your face, you will change your face." The old man of Xiaoge is not on Shuangyu Island, can I still lie to you? ”

Heavenly Wolf sat back in his seat and said coldly: "Brother Xu, if Yan Shifan is not on the island now, you would have known about using and betraying him in Yiwu last time, why did you see me this time, it seems that Yan Shifan was brainwashed again." The position is completely on the side of Yan Shifan? ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "Those things don't need to be discussed with us, I can also analyze them myself, could it be that Qi Jiguang trained Yiwu soldiers." Yu Dayou trains sailor recruits, these things are top secret? ”

Sky Wolf sighed: "Now that the coast has been strictly forbidden to the sea, and all the residents have withdrawn into the interior, it is difficult for you to sneak into the interior to spy on intelligence. Like Qi Jiguang's military training, it is a top-secret military situation. If it weren't for Yan Shifan's tipping off to you, how would you know? ”

The corners of Xu Hai's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "This matter is indeed sent by the old man of Xiaoge to inform us, you also know that the last time in Yiwu was not very pleasant, and he didn't want to cut off contact with us, this is not difficult to understand, but he sent someone to send a letter to inform." Coming in person and him in person are completely different things. ”

Sky Wolf nodded, "Not bad." Yan Shifan can indeed send someone to deliver the letter, but this analysis still says that Governor Hu wants to reorganize the army and war, and use peace talks as a delaying tactic, this statement is not something that any lobbyist can do, besides, some private transactions, the so-called better and more favorable conditions, if it is not for Yan Shifan himself, who can make his own claims? ”

A cold glint flashed in Xu Hai's eyes: "Brother Lang's words are a bit far-fetched, you are not Hu Zongxian, can't you also represent Governor Hu to participate in this peace conference?" The old power of the small pavilion is overwhelming, and his subordinates are not without capable people. ”

The wolf smiled slightly: "Yan Shifan is different from me, I was sent by the emperor to monitor Hu Zongxian's peace talks, in case he collaborated with the enemy and treason, Hu Zongxian in order to show his loyalty to the emperor, so he simply gave me the bottom and let me personally participate in the negotiations, and Yan Shifan is in private contact with you, collaboration is a big crime to exterminate the clan, even if he has the power of the world, if he commits this article, it is not enough to cut off a hundred heads, so he can't fake others for this kind of thing, he must do it himself, besides, If you want to talk about where you will stay in the future if you want to flee overseas, can you also fake others? ”

Xu Hai's eyes sparkled, and he stopped talking, obviously the words of the heavenly wolf hit his weakness like steel thorns, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and his eyes rolled straight, as if he was trying to say something.

As soon as the wolf saw Xu Hai like this, he had already determined in his heart that Yan Shifan must be on the island at this time, and he didn't want to give Xu Hai time to think of a response, so he chased after him and said: "And the most important point is that Yan Shifan and I are inseparable from the heavens, and he also wants to kill me in his dreams, because he knows that I also have to kill him." ”

"In the court, he Yan Shifan can't help me, but under the pretense that the hands of your Japanese are the best opportunity, as long as I die, he can also sue Hu Zongxian, saying that he was ineffective in peace talks, and killed the Jinyi guard sent by the emperor to monitor him, and I can even say that I have found out about Hu Zongxian's treason, and Hu Zongxian is just killing people. For the sake of this, do you think he will leave Shuangyu Island now? ”

Xu Hai sighed: "Heavenly wolf, you are so wise and almost demonic, I sometimes even wonder if you are human." Well, I won't hide it from you, Yan Shifan is on this island. The reason why I want to test you many times before getting on the boat is actually because I want to hear what you have to say here, so as not to lead Yan Shifan by the nose. ”

The heavenly wolf's heart was also relieved, he was now very sure that Xu Hai would be on his side this time, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, this is that you are not a friend enough, I was actually just testing you just now, but you didn't tell me the truth, if I really believe you, I will go to the island like this, and if I am unprepared, I will not kill that Yan Shifan." ”

Xu Hai waved his hand: "No, Ship Owner Wang said that our bottom line is that we would rather not be able to negotiate, and we can't completely stiffen things with Hu Zongxian, Yan Shifan said it wildly, but as long as he didn't replace the governor of Zhejiang with his own cronies, and this cronie wants to take the initiative to contact us and agree to our conditions, we won't believe what he said, Ship Owner Wang has been crisscrossing the seven seas all his life, and has seen countless deceitful things, how can he give Yan Shifan a few words?" He is looking for a way back from us, which is himself a manifestation of his lack of confidence in the court. How can a person who can't even stay in the country decide more military affairs. ”

Heavenly Wolf laughed: "Ship Master Wang really understands people, but since you know that Yan Shifan is unreliable. How could they believe his words and be suspicious of Governor Hu? ”

Xu Hai said coldly: "Yan Shifan is unreliable, but his words may not be wrong, Hu Zongxian only wants to leave a name in history and clarify the coast of the East China Sea, we people are a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh." If it weren't for the fact that he is now lacking in military strength and unable to defeat us at sea, how would he use this method of peace talks to recruit peace. ”

"Brother Lang has read the Water Margin. In there, Uncle Zhang's way of treating the heroes of Liangshan is the same in his bones, and he can beat it. If you can't beat it, you can recruit An. After recruiting peace, let them go to kill each other with other rebels, and after the strength is insufficient, they will resettle these leaders in various places, disband the subordinates, and then eliminate them separately, the officials of the Song Dynasty did this, is Hu Zongxian nobler than them? ”

The wolf had already prepared and smiled slightly: "But Brother Xu hasn't read Yue Quan's biography, Yue Fei has recruited the thief Yang Zaixing." In the end, Yang Zaixing became his general, and he was born and died. In the end, he died heroically on the battlefield and achieved a reputation through the ages, could it be that Grandpa Yue was also insidious and vicious, deliberately killing Yang Zaixing? ”

Xu Hai crooked his mouth and did not speak.

The heavenly wolf continued to say with a straight face: "Brother Xu, I have already said just now, Governor Hu can allow you to keep the army temporarily, as long as a few leaders go ashore to accept official positions, as long as your troops are still there, and you can do business to maintain military salaries, what is there to worry about, Governor Hu will not let you go north to fight the Mongols, at most it is to ensure the peace of the sea, is it also a fight for you to do this thing?" ”

Xu Hai shook his head and said: "Heavenly wolf, I can't guess Hu Zongxian's true intentions now, but with my experience and judgment, all the officials are scheming and ruthless, Hu Zongxian hates us to the core, and it is impossible to let us go so cheaply, so I still believe in Yan Shifan in this matter, no matter what, it is not a bad thing to leave some way back for yourself." ”

Heavenly Wolf said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu I don't like to hear this, I said so much just now, it's nothing more than two words, sincerity, Governor Hu has basically met your conditions, but you can't just take care of yourself, don't give him any explanation, and don't go ashore to recruit peace, then it is not considered to surrender to the imperial court, can Yan Shifan give you a better way out?" ”

Xu Hai gritted his teeth: "Okay, don't say more, this matter still has to be decided by the owner of the ship, if he can nod, then do it, on the other hand, if he doesn't want to, it's useless for me to agree." ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "But if Brother Xu feels that there is fraud in this, and he is unwilling to do what Governor Hu wants, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for Captain Wang to loosen his mouth, but it doesn't matter, trust can be established step by step, if you can't talk about Zhao'an this time, you can also talk about the truce and the elimination of Chen Sipan first, which will help the two sides establish a minimum relationship of trust, but I have said it first, if you are like last time, you will stab people with a black knife after the front foot talks, but you will not blame Governor Hu for being polite." ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, Governor Hu has only paid lip service to me so far, he said that he wanted to recruit peace, but in private he was reorganizing the army for war, you said it was just defense, but we don't think so, so everyone still comes to show up, it is more direct, and it will not suffer." ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "Isn't what you're talking about now being the matter of eliminating Chen Sipan?" You can rest assured of this, this time I went to you, I was responsible for specifically agreeing on this matter, Chen Sipan is cunning, and has been operating at sea for many years, and the officers and soldiers have encircled and suppressed him many times, but they have not found his lair, this overseas island is ten thousand, if you want to catch him, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, only if you take the initiative to indicate his location, our army can follow up in a targeted manner. ”

Speaking of this, the wolf put away his smile and said: "The reason why I was sent here this time is that a very important reason is that you want you to take me to find Chen Sipan's lair, and after I find it, I will be responsible for notifying the army to come, and then we will be responsible for attacking Chen Sipan's lair, and your fleet will block their escape route in the open sea, once Chen Sipan and Xiao Xian break through, you will take the opportunity to rob and kill, so that Chen Sipan's subordinates will only know that it was the officials and soldiers who exterminated their leader, and they will naturally surrender to you." ”

Xu Hai was overjoyed: "Brother Lang is willing to help so much this time?" Great!"

Sky Wolf waved his hand: "I said that I came this time to build mutual trust. We are very sincere, this time we can help you eliminate Chen Sipan first, and then you can think about whether to go ashore to recruit peace. If you can eliminate Chen Sipan this time. You can be regarded as exterminating the pirates for the imperial court, and you have made a wish for you to be crowned an official for this reason, even the ministers of the Qing school can't say anything. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed on Xu Hai's face: "Can't the matter of banning trade be finalized this time?" ”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "This is something that must be talked about after you accept Zhao'an, after all, we helped you eliminate Chen Sipan and greatly increased your strength, you don't say anything." It's too much to say. ”

Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will find an opportunity to help you persuade Ship Master Wang." Heavenly Wolf, as long as you can really help us destroy Chen Sipan, I, Xu Hai, will believe you. ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "There is no problem with this, by the way." Why do you hate Chen Sipan so much? Do you have to put them to death? As far as I know, Chen Sipan has been hooking up with the Francophiles in Luzon, and most of his spheres of influence are in Guangdong and Fujian, so there is no conflict with you. ”

Xu Hai sighed: "This is mainly my personal vendetta, when I was a monk in Hupao Temple, I thought that this life would be like this, but it was my uncle Xu Weixue who took me to the sea, so that I have a place in this life." But my uncle was attacked and killed by Chen Sipan, you must know that my parents died when I was a child. It was my uncle who raised me single-handedly and treated me like a father, if I can't avenge him, then am I still human? ”

The heavenly wolf nodded, he had heard the grievances between Xu Hai and Chen Sipan from Hu Zongxian before, but he still wanted to confirm it personally, so he continued: "But with Brother Xu's current strength, it is not difficult to deal with Chen Sipan, why do you want to fake the official army?" ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "Brother Lang told me so many confidential things today, I won't hide this matter from you, Chen Sipan and his gang are entrenched in Fujian and Guangdong, and there are tens of thousands of subordinates, these people are mainly regarded by him, and they usually do their own thing, Chen Sipan himself and Xiao Xian only brought two or three thousand descendant troops, if we directly destroy Chen Sipan, then these brothers under him will think that we killed their leading boss, and will not surrender to us, if these small groups of pirates are wandering around, attacking our merchant ships, Raiding our sub-base is also a headache. ”

Heavenly Wolf smiled: "But even if our officers and soldiers go out to capture Chen Sipan's island, if they run into you when they flee and are killed by you, and you accept Zhao'an again, then don't Chen Sipan's brothers still think that you are the culprit?" ”

Xu Hai smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Lang still doesn't know the rules of our sea, if we take the initiative to attack Chen Sipan's island, it is indeed our injustice first, although the fire and vendetta among the bandits are a matter of course, but when the owner of the Wang ship took over our fleet, he and Chen Sipan made a bloody alliance and became brothers, saying that they would no longer pursue the grievances of the past, so if we take the initiative to break the contract now, not only Chen Sipan's subordinates will retaliate wildly, but even many of our own subordinates will also deviate from morality." ”

"But if the official army attacked Chen Sipan, then we can say that they were going to rescue Chen Sipan, even if they killed him, they could be pushed to the official army, and they could justifiably incorporate Chen Sipan's subordinates afterwards."

Tian Wolf frowned: "But if you are recruited by the official army, will those people still believe your statement, if you want to co-opt these people, you have to take revenge on Chen Sipan." ”

Xu Hai shook his head: "It is a matter of course for officers and soldiers to fight bandits, the first day we went to the sea as pirates, we had this kind of awareness, and those subordinates of Chen Sipan only served him in name only, if they came to us, then they would naturally listen to our orders here, you can rest assured, these people are not as righteous as you imagined, and they will really avenge Chen Sipan, as long as the ban on commerce is opened at that time, they can make money through trade and give benefits to these people, then they will naturally not mention revenge." ”

Sky Wolf nodded and asked, "Then what if these people go to attack the coastal towns around Guangdong and Fujian again?" We have an agreement, when they are under Chen Sipan's hands, they are not under your control, but if they are under your hands, if you can't restrain them, there will be no talks. ”

Xu Hai's eyes flashed with a cold coldness: "Don't worry about this, since you come to us, you have to abide by our rules, Chen Sipan basically doesn't care about them, and basically doesn't divide the spoils of their robbery, at most, they only share the spoils proportionally when they join forces to rob, but in our place, there must be rules for every qiē, and they can't mess around, if they don't obey the order and loot privately, we will be responsible for cleaning up the disobedient bandits, and hand over the leader's head to Governor Hu to show sincerity." ”

Sky Wolf's brows stretched: "That's very good, I'll go with you, this time I didn't go alone, but brought a companion with me, now she is at the dock, if your ship is ready, let's go now." ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "I can't imagine the lone Jinyi Wei Tianwolf, this time I actually found a helper, okay, let's go." (To be continued......)
