Come to Zhoucheng, the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, the sky had brightened slightly. Zhao Tong leaned on the big chair in the Governor's Mansion, listening to the dying screams outside, and slowly yawned.
With deliberate arithmetic and unintentional calculations, he deceived the city of Laizhou and attacked the soldiers of Laizhou. Many of Laizhou's guards died in their sleep, on their beds.
Even if some of them reacted, they picked up swords and guns and rushed to fight, but they didn't have all their usual skills. They probably only had seven or eight points left. And under Zhao Tong's order, the pirates called themselves Jin Bing and shouted General Zong Wang. The guards were even more frightened, thinking that Wanyan Zongwang, who was guarding Liaodong, was coming to kill them, and their combat strength would be reduced by another 30%.
Zhao Tong looked at the boxes arriving in front of the door. More and more boxes were being piled up, and his sleepiness gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Thunder Tiger walked in, grinning from ear to ear with joy, and prostrated himself in the tunnel: "Your Majesty, you have a wonderful plan, and you are strategizing. You are waving your fan, enemy soldiers, enemy soldiers..."
Really unable to think of that word, Thunder Tiger kowtowed: "I am so impressed that I am so impressed!"
Zhao Tong said: "Have you gained a lot?"
Lei Hu said: "My lord, I have gained a lot. The families of these officials are so rich. I didn't expect that the officials in such a remote place are also extremely rich. Every family has a cellar with money hidden in it." countless!"
Lei Laohu was really happy. There were three generations of pirates in his family, and they had done a lot of great things in the East China Sea. In the past few decades, they had conquered many small towns along the coast, but they had never done anything like this. Zhongjun Town? This is simply a record that can be bragging for a lifetime.
A county can only have a few hundred soldiers at most, and some small counties may only have about a hundred soldiers. How can it compare with the thousands of soldiers in a state city like this? What's more, this is still in the Liao Kingdom!
The amount of money collected is hundreds or even hundreds of times that of those in small counties. There are also some rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are more valuable than money. Even those large ships in Shuiying can be sailed away. This is all Money.
What excited Lei Laohu the most was that this thing was just like a dream. He did not attack the city, but just used a strategy to open the city gate. He felt that he must study it carefully when he returns home and learn this strategy. method.
Zhao Tong asked again: "Are you disturbing the people?"
Lei Hu said: "No, no, there is so much stuff in these corrupt officials' homes that those little crabs don't have time to disturb the people."
Zhao Tong smiled. He didn't care whether he disturbed the people in Liaocheng or not, not to mention under the banner of Wanyan Zongwang. He just wanted to give these pirates some restraints and let them know the existence of rules. This is a long-term process. It needs to come little by little.
He pondered for a moment: "Have those things been moved too?"
Lei Hu said: "Your Majesty, are you talking about ordnance? Don't worry, Your Majesty, the first items to be transported out of the city are ordnance, crossbows, and soft armor. As long as our ship can pull it off, we won't leave any of it for them."
Zhao Tong nodded, the smile on his face getting wider.
At this time, several more people walked in outside, but they were Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei, followed by Yelu Lianheng, Zhou Wen and several rebels from the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Tong's eyes fell on Yelu Lianheng and saw that he was covered in blood and almost turned into a bloody man. He looked at his face again and saw that his face was twitching continuously. It was obvious that he was too stimulated and could not bear the pain. Own control.
Zhou Wen next to him was the same, his eyes were red with murderous intent. He was forced to stand on the fire and could only walk all the way.
Zhao Tong looked at them and said, "Kill them all?"
Yelu Lianheng said in a hoarse voice: "Kill them all."
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "You have to think carefully. Although I will let you go, you are not smart enough and cruel enough. If anything happens in the future, don't blame me!"
Yelu Lian looked at Zhao Tao, roaring in his heart, why should he blame him? You are the instigator, you are the one who planned all of this, the most ruthless one, without you how would these tragic things have happened!
He said: "The few of us confirmed each other, and no fish slipped through the net."
Zhao Tong nodded and said: "Speaking of confirmation, I remembered that you two can also prove each other on this matter. In this way, there will be fewer flaws. In the future, you two will not be able to get promoted and make a fortune together. You can still be an ally, which is... much more reliable than an alliance based on blood."
Yelu was stunned for a moment. His original plan was that if Zhao Tan really let him go, he would immediately kill Zhou Wen to silence him as soon as they left. However, what the other party said seemed to make some sense, but for some reason, he always felt that Something weird.
Zhao Tong glanced at Thunder Tiger at this time and said: "Call a few people and follow me to a place."
Huang Gu asked Ying at the side: "Master, I will go with you."
Zhao Tong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "It's a big deal here, you two are in charge!" After that, he walked out the door.
Huang Gu still wanted to speak, but Ouyang Bei pulled him and winked, whispering: "Lonely and Invincible, I will make a bet with you on where the young master has gone."
Huang Gu said angrily: "Do you think the young master is going behind your back?"
Ouyang Beidao: "To gamble or not to gamble?"
Huang Gu snorted coldly, how could he pay attention to him.
Lei Hu called ten pirates and escorted Zhao Tong out to the same place, but it was the courtyard where Xiao Min picked him up to stay that day.
After he entered the courtyard, people began to search carefully, but nothing of value was found. It seems that Yelu Dashi had already cleaned up the place when he left. Zhao Tong thought about it, stood in the courtyard for a moment, and said to Lei Hu : "Tell the men over there to move faster and return to Peach Blossom Island after packing up."
Thunder Tiger quickly said yes.
An hour later, dozens of large ships sailed away and disappeared into the vast sea...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On Peach Blossom Island, the trees full of wild peaches were unpicked and most of them were rotten. The peaches tasted really sour and astringent, so the pirates couldn't help but take a few bites. Never make fruit to eat.
In addition to peach trees, there are also other wild fruits and vegetables on the island, all of which taste better than peaches. Some pirates couldn't help but call the island Sour Peach Island.
Zhao Tong stood next to a wild peach tree, gnawing a peach expressionlessly, watching Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei's mouths sore. They had experienced the unusual taste of this wild peach, so they both felt sour. I can't enjoy it.
After finishing one peach, Zhao Tong picked another red one and ate it. Then he picked up the two peach stones and said, "Go back and pack up. We will return to Tokyo in a day or two."
Ma Zheng was lying in the cave. His face was as pale as paper, his robes were in tatters, and he smelled terrible. He felt like he was going to die.
Hu Yanqing, who was standing beside him, was so thin that he looked disfigured. His eyes were dull and he said in a dull voice: "Master Ma, what day is it now?"
Ma Zheng slowly turned his head to look at him. It seemed that if he moved a little faster, his neck would twist. He said: "How do you know? I'm afraid it's already autumn, right?"
Ma Zheng secretly sighed in his heart, these lawless pirates locked them up in this dark place, except for interrogating them at first to extort money. Later, after finding out that they were officials, they no longer cared about them.
I am afraid that knowing that he is an official, it is not easy to blackmail him. I can still give him some food at the moment, but I don’t know when he will be able to fend for himself.
Ma Zheng suddenly thought of Zhao Tong and wondered how the prince was doing, whether he was still alive or not. As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly became moist.
At this moment, a pirate's shout suddenly came from outside: "Hurry in, I've raised you for a few months in vain, if I didn't see you as the prince, I really want to kill you with a knife!"
Ma Zheng's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he saw a person stumbled in from outside. His clothes were dirty and torn, with some blood stains. As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth and spit out something like fruit. The sour smell made Ma Zheng shudder when he smelled it. I know they are wild peaches that even pigs won’t eat.
During this time, the pirates often gave these peaches to him and Hu Yanqing. The two of them couldn't eat them. In the end, even if they starved to death, they would never take a bite.
When Ma Zheng thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He rushed over and hugged Zhao Tong's legs and started crying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have suffered."
After Zhao Tong finished spitting out the peach, his face was full of sour tears. He patted Ma Zheng's head and choked out: "Master Ma, don't cry, don't cry. The pirates have decided to let us go."
Hu Yanqing also crawled over from the ground at this time and cried: "Your Majesty, are you really leaving here?"
Zhao Tong said with emotion: "They are afraid of my identity, they don't dare to blackmail the court, and they want to recruit me, but they don't want to kill many officials, so they have decided to let us go."
When the two heard this, they burst into tears again.
