Du Bingyue didn't understand for a while, and Han Mo didn't say much, just smiled softly and ordered the Immortal to return to the fleet.

The main force of Han Mo's fleet was waiting on the sea at this time, not only the three warships were ready to fight at any time, but the catapults on the merchant ships were also ready, and the crew of 1,500 crew members of the ten ships in the fleet were still 1,000 people preparing for the big battle in addition to the manpower for paddling in the bilges of each ship.

The equipment and weapons that Han Mo borrowed from Han Yuan were all equipped in the hands of the crew at this time, compared to the weapons and equipment of the people at sea, the weapons and equipment of this batch of Zhenfu Army were naturally much stronger, the knives and guns were sharper, the armor was stronger, and the longbow was also stronger and shot farther.

Although the people at sea and the soldiers of the pacification are all good soldiers, the newly recruited crew members of the Giant Shark and the Black Pearl are not ordinary people, these are all young and strong children recruited from the East China Sea, and they are very strong.

In the case of an accident, the Han family will recruit the young and strong children of the territory to organize the family army, and this group of recruited Donghai children are all the backbone members of the family army, and they have also sent troops to Bozhou with Han Xuanchang and his son, and participated in the rebellion of the two families of Ye and Wu, and they are all fierce men who have fought with iron and blood.

Although the Japanese army all came out of the war, and the group of people under Han Mo were all good fighters who rolled out from under the knife.

The sea breeze blew, and Han Mo and Du Bingyue returned to the fleet, but instead of returning to the East Sea Eagle, they waved the flag and ordered the commander of the Gray Eagle to go to the Immortal to discuss matters.

Graybeard boarded the Immortal, and Han Mo immediately led him and Du Bingyue into the cabin, and then asked Graybeard with a smile: "Uncle Beard, I heard Yue'er say that you have excellent water properties and can lurk in the sea for a long time!" ”

Graybeard laughed and said: "I have been begging for a living at sea since I was a child, and I have no other skills, but I have never felt worse than others in this water nature." After a pause, he felt a little strange and asked, "Fifth Young Master, do you have any orders?" Although my graybeard has broken an arm, this life is still there, as long as the fifth young master orders, graybeard will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "Uncle Beard, I really have something for you to do, think about it, only you can do it!" ”

Graybeard was stunned for a moment, but seeing Han Mo's sincere expression, he felt a burst of relief in his heart.

In fact, after he was cut off an arm, he often had an inferiority complex in his heart, and without an arm, his combat ability was naturally greatly weakened, and he was worried that the people of the fleet would despise him.

The fleet gathered more than a dozen people on the sea, and Graybeard was the strongest at the beginning, and Han Mo was supported behind him, so he also became the third person in the fleet after the Du father and daughter of the Immortal Island, and after the death of the Du Island owner, he became the second leader of the fleet.

There are more than a dozen people on the sea in the fleet, and they are indispensable brave people, under the banner of Han Mo, they have a way to live, and they are gathered together, but Graybeard can also assist Du Bingyue to completely suppress and accept these people.

But after his arm was broken, he was worried that his ability would weaken, his prestige would fall, and he would be replaced by others, after all, there were many powerful characters in the fleet.

He surrendered to Han Mo because he had a sense of awe and gratitude for Han Mo in his heart, and he understood the relationship between Du Bingyue and Han Mo, and naturally he was willing to submit to Du Bingyue's hands, but if someone else climbed on his head, he was arrogant, but he couldn't bear it.

Tonight, Han Mo wanted to hand over a task to him, and even said that only he could do it, which made Graybeard suddenly gain confidence, and patted his chest and said, "Fifth Young Master, you say, what do you want me to do with Graybeard!" ”

Han Mo thought for a while, and then said softly: "Judging from the current situation, Shimazu Tsukihisa's subordinates have already controlled a lot of people in the royal family of the Nanyang Kingdom, once a big war breaks out, it is difficult to scruple, maybe it will hurt those imprisoned royal families, if so, even if the Nanyang people don't say it, they will definitely have a lot of complaints against us in their hearts...... ”

Du Bingyue nodded and said: "Ten days ago, from the mouth of Tachibana Daoyu, we knew that the Japanese had conquered the four countries, and now a month has passed, and the Japanese bandits have hit the Jusang country, so the eastern countries of Nanyang must have fallen into the hands of the Japanese people...... In the eastern part of Kiku-san Province, there should be seven countries, and if the seven countries were not captured, Shimazu Tsukihisa's fleet should not have arrived here......! ”

Han Mo touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then in the hands of Shimazu Tsukihisa, there should be hostages from the Seven Kingdoms of the South Seas......!" ”

Graybeard didn't react for a while, and looked at Han Mo in a daze.

Han Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said to Graybeard: "Uncle Beard, the Japanese army did not immediately launch an attack on the Jusang Kingdom, in my estimation, they should want to take the Jusang Kingdom without blood, maybe they have already sent an envoy to persuade ...... surrender!" ”

Du Bingyue immediately said: "Little Fifth Brother, Jusang Kingdom will not surrender!" ”

Han Mo smiled: "Why is Yue'er so confident? The Japanese army is menacing, swallowing seven countries in a row, and the country of Jusang is only afraid that it has been afraid before the battle, if Shimazu Tsukihisa makes conditions that the country of Jusang can accept, the country of Jusang may not agree! ”

Du Bingyue shook her head and said, "Even if King Fujiwara agrees to surrender, the queen will never surrender." She is a woman and will never give in to the Japanese! ”

Seeing that she was very firm, Han Mo bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "In this way, this Queen Fujiwara is really a great character. When you repel the Japanese people, you really want to meet her well! ”

Du Bingyue said with a smile: "She is the number one beauty ...... Nanyang!" Suddenly, he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and his face turned red and he stopped talking.

Han Mo smiled, and then said solemnly: "Regardless of whether Jusang Kingdom surrenders or not, we must defeat the bandits." The Japanese army did not attack, it must be waiting for the reply of the Jusang Kingdom, and once the Jusang Kingdom refused to surrender, then at the latest, the Japanese army might launch an attack tomorrow. ”

Graybeard said, "Fifth Young Master, then we also have to wait until they launch an attack before we attack?" ”

Han Mo smiled and said, "When to make a move, I already have a plan in my heart. But before we make a move, there is one thing we can't help but do...... Otherwise, this battle would be considered a big victory on the surface, but in fact, it would be a loss by seven points......! ”

Du Bingyue blinked, and quickly understood, "Little Fifth Brother, do you mean those hostages?" ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "Not bad." The hostages of the Seven Kingdoms of the South Seas are in the hands of Shimazu Tsukihisa, and if we hurt them by then, even if we repel the Japanese army, it will make the kings of the Seven Kingdoms of the South Seas have a deep grudge against us because of the loss of their loved ones...... If so, it would be contrary to our original intention. So...... Before launching an attack, we must rescue the hostages in the hands of Shimazu Tsukihisa......! ”

Graybeard finally understood and said, "Fifth Young Master, do you want me to rescue the hostages?" ”

Han Mo stared at Graybeard's eyes and said, "Looking at our team, only the three of us are suitable for this task...... But Bingyue and I are both going to command the battle tomorrow, and this matter can only be handled by you, Uncle Beard. ”

Graybeard groaned slightly, and finally nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to me." I can't save anyone, and I won't come back! ”

"Don't do that." Han Mo said sharply: "Uncle Beard, if you say that, I don't worry about letting you go." He stared at Graybeard and said slowly: "Compared to those Nanyang people, your life is countless times more precious than them, once things are difficult, you must ensure your own safety first...... Otherwise, I'll have to send someone else to do it! ”

Graybeard heard Han Mo's words, although Han Mo's tone was stern, but he was extremely moved in his heart, the old man in his early forties, his eyes were a little red, and said, "Fifth young master, I'll handle this matter." Don't worry, I will definitely listen to your instructions and will never mess around. ”

Han Mo smiled at this time: "Uncle Beard, you were also a heroic figure in the East China Sea at the beginning, and you have your own way of doing things." After a pause, he got up, and went over to hold a wooden box, and when he opened it, there were some very strange things inside, which seemed to be a hood worn on his head, but there was a long tube at the nose, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

There were more than thirty such hoods in this wooden box, Han Mo took out one and put it on his head, the whole head was immediately wrapped, the long hose at the nose looked very funny, and the eyes were also made of very special materials, so that the eyes inside could be clearly seen.

Han Mo immediately took it off again and said to the two who were a little surprised: "Uncle Beard, put on this diving mask and place this nose above the surface of the sea, even if you are underwater, you can still breathe freely." Take with you fifteen brethren who are very brave and clever in the water, and I will send you a boat to take you on a ride at night, and you will dive through, and I guess that if you are not on the flagship of the Japanese army, you will be on the three large ships, and you may inquire secretly on these four ships...... The morale of the Japanese people is high at this time, but they will definitely be proud and complacent, and if they have the opportunity, they can rescue the hostages, otherwise...... I just hope that they will be blessed with more blessings......! ”

Graybeard didn't say a word, picked up the wooden box, and said, "Fifth Young Master, I understand what you mean, without further ado, I'll select people to do ...... now!" ”

Han Mo got up and said solemnly: "Uncle Beard, you must ...... Careful! ”

Graybeard nodded, then laughed, and walked out of the cabin with the wooden box.

Less than half an hour later, from Han Mo's fleet, a group of water ghosts, led by Graybeard, took two small boats and quietly headed in the direction of the Japanese fleet.

Han Mo stood at the bow of the boat, watching Graybeard and the others leave, his expression was very grim, and then he looked up, looked at the night sky full of stars, and muttered to himself: "Tomorrow...... It's a good weather ......! ”
