Zhao Xiaowu did not expect that Duan Wenjun would come to him today to ask if he had contacted Zhao Dachui.
"No, all the contact points on the shore were destroyed by the government, and we can't contact the island." Zhao Xiaowu frowned, "My brother didn't send anyone to find me either."
Zhao Xiaowu told the truth.
These days, he has tried many times to inquire about the situation on Moon Island, but almost all of the peripheral contact points have been destroyed by Chai Jingyun's people.
However, he also got some news, that is, Tie Hulu, the fourth master of Moon Island, defected to the imperial court.
Moreover, what puzzled him was that Tie Gulu actually took refuge in Wangjiang County Magistrate.
He couldn't figure out the reason.
Then, he thought of Duan Wenjun, because Duan Wenjun was also from Wangjiang County.
The last time he assassinated Duan Wenjun and was sent back, Duan Wenjun had reminded his brother Zhao Dachui to be careful.
When his brother Zhao Dachui sent him off the island, he once said that if he didn't send someone to contact him, he would let him live peacefully as a farmer in Duanjiabao for the rest of his life.
Then, not long ago, when Tie Hulu was seeking refuge with Zhang Suxing, the magistrate of Wangjiang County, Duan Wenjun went to Dou Xiaoqi to inquire about Uncle De.
He began to guess that everything must not be a coincidence.
He even wondered if there was any secret between his brother Zhao Dachui and Duan Wenjun.
"Why do you want to join the Duanjiabao guard?" Duan Wenjun stared at him and spoke again.
Zhao Xiaowu looked up at Duan Wenjun, and his tone became very serious, "Did something happen to my brother? It was Uncle De who did it, right?"
"What if I tell you, I don't know?" Duan Wenjun shook his head, "The imperial court is going to clear out Moon Island, and it will only happen in the next few days."
Duan Wenjun didn't hide anything. After all, this was no longer a secret.
I thought Zhao Xiaowu would be furious, but unexpectedly he acted very calmly, with a bitter smile on his face, "Uncle De betrayed my brother, right?"
"I don't know, I'm checking it too." Duan Wenjun sighed, "I always feel that things on Moon Island are not as simple as they appear."
Zhao Xiaowu was stunned when he heard this, but did not answer.
There is a secret hidden in his heart.
When he left Moon Island that day, Zhao Dachui told him a big secret.
He also had to keep this secret, so he promised Zhao Dachui that if Zhao Dachui didn't send someone to find him, he would never act rashly.
However, it was destined that he would not be able to hide in the Zhou family so quietly.
Moreover, he stood in front of Duan Wenjun.
Duan Wenjun feels that things on Moon Island are not as simple as they appear.
Zhao Xiaowu was convinced.
How could it be so simple when it involved such a big secret in his heart?
They even suspected that Uncle De went to Moon Island just for that secret.
"Have you found out Uncle De's true identity?" Zhao Xiaowu spoke again.
Now that the showdown has been made, Zhao Xiaowu also feels that there is no need to call Duan Wenjun "young master" anymore.
When Duan Wenjun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You know?"
If you know the details of Li Deming, you may be able to solve many puzzles in your mind.
It's a pity that Zhao Xiaowu didn't know.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have had to remind my brother to be careful."
Duan Wenjun changed the topic and said again, "Do you know why I suddenly want to recruit so many guards?"
Zhao Xiaowu looked confused and shook his head.
"When the imperial court conquers Moon Island, all the prisoners will be handed over to me." Duan Wenjun stared at him closely. "In other words, I have bought them, and they will all be slaves of the Duan family from now on."
Zhao Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this, "You bought the prisoners on Moon Island? The imperial court hates us bandits so much that they will definitely kill them all, so why would they agree to buy the prisoners? Also, you bought so many people, you want do what?"
"To tell you the truth, not only are the two hundred guards I recruited today, but there will also be five hundred guards arriving from other places in the next few days." Duan Wenjun ignored Zhao Xiaowu's question, but continued, "The five hundred guards will arrive from other places." The strength of the nursing home is higher or lower than that of my current nursing home in Duanjiabao."
Zhao Xiaowu's brows furrowed.
He knew that there was absolutely no need for Duan Wenjun to suddenly ask him to come and chat.
And at this moment, he felt that Duan Wenjun's words contained a lot of information.
However, after thinking hard for a long time, he still didn't know what Duan Wenjun's purpose was.
Finally, he asked directly, "What do you want me to do?"
Duan Wenjun did not answer him, but continued to ask, "Do you think that if the imperial court encircles Moon Island, will your brother fight to the death? How many people will be left alive on Moon Island by then?"
No matter how simple Zhao Xiaowu is, he still understands what Duan Wenjun is thinking: "Do you want me to persuade my brother to surrender?"
Duan Wenjun shook his head, "To be precise, I want you to take me to meet your brother."
He was thinking about this matter on the way back from Gong County.
Chai Jingyun said that he was trying to dismantle Duan Jiabao from within, but the results were not significant, so he had to attack by force.
This was not a situation he wanted to see.
If Moon Island is disintegrated from within, conflicts and suspicions will inevitably arise between these people.
By then, even in Duanjiabao, this contradiction may not be reconciled.
That would leave a lot of hidden dangers.
Chai Jingyun storms Moon Island, and there will be internal fighting on the island. The casualties among the officers and soldiers may be smaller, but the casualties on the island will definitely be heavier.
Therefore, he thought of Zhao Xiaowu and thought that he might have to go to the island for a walk.
"You want to see my brother?" Zhao Xiaowu looked shocked when he heard Duan Wenjun's words.
Immediately, he fell silent.
Judging from the current situation, he knew that the destruction of Moon Island was probably inevitable.
If Duan Wenjun can really make Zhao Dachui surrender and find a way for Zhao Dachui to survive, this will be something that makes him very excited.
If he could save Zhao Dachui's life, he would naturally be willing to cooperate with Duan Wenjun.
"Is there any other way to get to the island? And it can't be discovered by Uncle De's people." Duan Wenjun nodded.
Zhao Xiaowu's brows furrowed, "Yes, yes, but now the government and military forces have sealed off the island very strictly. I'm afraid we won't be able to take that route."
"Don't worry, I can handle the affairs of the officers and soldiers." Duan Wenjun interrupted him, "Without further delay, you go back and prepare, we will set off immediately."
Duan Wenjun took Mo Shoucheng to Chai Jingyun's camp.
In order to cooperate with the general offensive in the next few days, Chai Jingyun has moved the camp command post to Gong County.
When he heard that Duan Wenjun was going to find Zhao Dachui on the island, Chai Jingyun was stunned.
"Brother Duan, aren't you fooling around?" Chai Jingyun looked slightly stunned. "Moon Island is full of bandits, extremely vicious people. Don't say that your trip is very dangerous, let alone, even if you can persuade them to surrender, your Duan family Can Bao take over so many people?"
"I didn't just go there to persuade him to surrender, there was another thing to do." Duan Wenjun frowned. "It's something I have to confirm in person."
"What's the matter, you have to go up now? If you want to go to Moon Island, wouldn't you wait until we wipe out the bandits before going?" Chai Jingyun was still very puzzled.
"By then, I'm afraid it will be too late." Duan Wenjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Lao Mo following me, nothing will happen."
"Moon Island is just a bunch of mobs. Don't worry, I can keep him safe." Mo Shoucheng raised the sword in his hand and nodded.
Chai Jingyun frowned, "Okay, I'll arrange for you to go there right now. I won't ask you what you want to do. You have to return in five days at most. After five days, we will launch a general attack."
Duan Wenjun nodded and led Mo Shoucheng out of his barracks.
However, when he just walked to the door, Chai Jingyun said again, "Brother Duan, how sure are you that you can persuade Zhao Dachui to surrender?"
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Eighty percent."
Duan Wenjun and the others had just left when a figure flashed out from behind the barracks: "Second Young Master, do you think Duan Wenjun already knows the secret of Moon Island?"
"Probably not!" Chai Jingyun shook his head. "However, the Wannian Ship must be carefully sailed and told our internal intelligence on Moon Island to closely monitor Duan Wenjun's every move after landing on the island. If it is to persuade him to surrender, we can provide strong assistance; if it is to persuade him to surrender, That secret, they must not let him find any clues..."
