When Liu Feihu saw that Ye Sanlang had completed his investigation, he stepped forward and asked: "Ye Yushi, I wonder how many people are left on the island now and what is their situation?
"There seem to be more than ten people staying there, but only one of them seems to be awake at the moment. He seems to be guarding the slaves. The others... well, it seems that they are all sleeping?"
Liu Feihu became interested as soon as he heard this and asked, "I wonder who is so conscientious?"
"Judging from Inoue's memory, this person seems to be named Togo Heihachiro."
"Dongxiang?" Liu Feihu was overjoyed.
"What? Is he your friend?"
"That's right. This person is quite a weirdo. Although he is from Ryukyu, he is honest and kind-hearted, so he is relatively ostracized by them."
"Hey, this person is a good candidate." Bai Lingfeng nodded. This person is completely a good candidate and can help him with his future plans.
"Okay, get ready for action. Brother Bai and I work in pairs to deal with the sleeping people. Liu Feihu and the others will go and free the slaves. That Dongxiang is a part of our plan. If there is this Maybe, we must win him over. Once we succeed, we will immediately send out a signal. At that time, you and the slaves will occupy the entire island. After that, we will wait for Sihan's actions.
"Okay!" Liu Feihu was full of passion at the moment. Being able to take revenge on these bastards was something he had never dared to think about, let alone a bigger plan after this operation.
After saying that, the two groups dispersed in two directions.
After spending a lot of effort to climb over the cliff in front of them, Ye Sanlang and the others lay down on the cliff and looked at the series of camps below. Indeed, the size of the camps revealed the number and class of water bandits. society.
Their target at the moment is the Fourth Division, which is an area close to the cliff. There are twelve people on the other side, three of them are having fun, and nine of them are sleeping. The two had a brief exchange. Bai Lingfeng was good at assassination, so the three who were still looking for fun were handed over to him, and the other nine belonged to Ye Sanlang.
After the two separated, Ye Sanlang quickly rushed towards the target tent. The nine people he wanted to kill were not leaders. They all lived in ordinary tents, which made their assassination easier.
Not long after, Ye Sanlang stood in front of the first person's hammock. That person looked similar to a Tang Dynasty person, but not exactly the same, but he couldn't care about that much. He stretched out his hand and heard a "whoop" sound, and the Longquan sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He immediately covered the man's mouth, and the man woke up in an instant, screaming "Uh-huh" and moving all over, but Ye Sanlang was faster than him. He raised his hand and put a hand on the man's neck. A thin line suddenly appeared, and then a large stream of blood spurted out, but because his mouth was covered, his voice was completely released, and he died like this.
Following this method, Ye Sanlang solved all nine of them. According to his idea, Bai Lingfeng should have solved it long ago and came to help him first, but he waited for a long time before Bai Lingfeng came over in a dusty state with a still expression on his face. It was red. Ye Sanlang immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't point it out. The two quickly took out the flares commonly used by people in the world that had been prepared long ago. With a sharp sound, the flares suddenly shot up into the sky and exploded into a big spark.
After a while, Liu Feihu came over with a dark group of people. Ye Sanlang took a rough look and found that most of them were young and middle-aged people. Most of them had injuries on their bodies and their clothes were in tatters. They must have been squeezed for a long time.
"Ye Yushi, I told them about you. In fact, everyone's biggest wish before was freedom. Now that you have helped everyone realize their wish, everyone is willing to follow you."
"Yes! Sir, just let us go with you!"
"grown ups!"
The noise made his head hurt, but he still nodded and said: "Then let's wait quietly for Sihan and Captain Ma."
On the other hand, Nishimoto took his flagship Tianxiang and quickly arrived at the sea area mentioned in the letter. From a distance, he could see three of his ships surrounding a slightly damaged merchant ship, forming a horn formation. Surround it. He knew that this was Inoue's usual trick. The guy had read some of Tang Dynasty's military books and was somewhat familiar with formation formation.
Soon, the Tianxiang approached the ship approaching this direction. The flag of this ship had a symbol of a snake spitting out a message. That was Inoue's symbol on the ship. Most of the people followed Nishimoto aboard. Going up, Inoue also came out to greet him.
"Brother, why are you here now? Brother, I'm so anxious!"
"Excuse me, how are the guards on the ship?"
"We attacked several times and finally broke through their defense several times. Now with your special attack team, if we launch a battle to seize the ship, then the ship will be ours soon."
"Okay, then get ready to blow the trumpet and we'll take it down in one fell swoop."
Inoue nodded, and then said: "Boss Nishimoto, you see, all my men are idiots. Can you let your special attack team rush to the front, be our example, and let them learn from it?"
Normally Nishimoto would be as cunning as a fox, but at this moment he was so blinded by wealth that he couldn't imagine getting so much. He just thought Inoue was praising himself and was very happy.
With the concentration of personnel, Nishimoto launched a fierce battle to seize the ship. The dozens of people he brought rushed from the deck of the ship to the merchant ship with shouts. Unexpectedly, they encountered no resistance at all. arrive.
Nishimoto immediately became alert, but before he could resist, the two sailors around him tied him up in three strokes. No matter how much he cursed, it was to no avail. And he vaguely heard some music playing on the boat, and then there was no movement. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled, but he never understood what was going on.
Captain Ma walked onto Class A and looked at the hundreds of tightly tied water bandits on each ship. He felt really happy thinking that in the future, merchant ships would be able to sail unimpeded between the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea.
At this time, Li Sihan also came over. He was a little worried about Ye Sanlang. Captain Ma knew what she was thinking when he saw her face.
"Madam, you don't have to worry. Ye Yushi has a good reputation, and a dozen thieves can't do anything to him. We will set off to pick them up right away.
On the second day, five ships docked at the pier of Ghost Island. About a hundred people were tied up and escorted off the ship. Nishimoto looked around at the people pointing weapons at him, or they were the former slaves. Otherwise, the captured water bandit felt very unhappy. When he was imprisoned in the cave where slaves lived, he screamed angrily, but no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone gathered in the water bandits' meeting hall, ready to listen to Ye Sanlang's opinions.
"Currently, there are a total of 130 water bandits and slaves who have taken refuge with us. In addition, Nishimoto and his die-hard subordinates total 140 people. It is our crew plus 130 of them that can barely capture them. Yes, we need to make a decision quickly now, otherwise things will change over time.
"Okay." Ye Sanlang said.
"I have discussed this with Brother Bai before, and now my decision is that these 130 good people will continue to act as water bandits."
"What?!"
"what happened?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, they didn't understand Ye Sanlang's intention at all.
"Don't panic yet! Listen to me."
After hearing this, everyone who had shouted just now became quiet.
"Although the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to send troops to exterminate the water bandits, it has a reward for the leaders. Captain Ma, you and your crew can escort Xiben and the others along the way. When they arrive in Jiangyin County, Suzhou Prefecture, kill these bandit leaders. and die-hard subordinates are handed over to the government, there will definitely be a large reward, and then you can go to Ryukyu to do business. The three of us can go directly from Jiangyin to Yangzhou. As for what I just said, it is for that One hundred and thirty people, I still have lofty ambitions in the future. There are countless bandits on the sea. Our Tang Dynasty needs a navy that is good at fighting. Otherwise, even a bandit will have to be suppressed by others. This is not a loss of heaven. Is it the face of Shangguo? Therefore, I need Liu Feihu to lead these 130 people to continue stationed on the ghost island, rob those unscrupulous merchants or merchant ships of small countries, continue to grow, and be used by me in the future. The reason why I don’t let you join the navy directly , It’s because now our Tang Dynasty system has collapsed and land annexation is serious. Although we are in the army, we are just like rice cans. We might as well become stronger by ourselves." After saying this, he paused, and he also understood that if someone with deliberate intentions would do what he just did. If he told the court, he would be charged with treason.
However, bursts of applause broke out around him.
"Ye Yushi, our lives are all yours, just give us your orders!" Liu Feihu said.
"Ye Yushi!"
"Ye Yushi!"
There were cheers all around. How could they have imagined that not only were they free, but they could also serve their country? It was really hard to imagine.
Ye Sanlang's eyes were moist, he turned his head and wiped it quietly. He did not expect that this humble group of 130 people would later become the tiger and wolf army that dominated the East China Sea.
