Zhang Shitou said: "Is this strange? It is naturally beneficial for them to rely on the Shangguan army."
Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhang, you are pretending to be confused again! I don't believe you didn't see that the Yankees are basically Wu Ningbo's pawns. They clearly want to recruit us! Maybe they are I want to play a trick to make the bandits proud!"
Zhang Shitou nodded and said, "Yes, I can see it too, but do we have any choice now?"
Li Feiyu was startled when he heard Zhang Shitou's words, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang, you are right, we really have no choice! But maybe we can use Uncle Wu Ning's hand to avenge ourselves! "
Zhang Shitou was silent for a moment and said: "There is not much hope!"
Li Feiyu said: "I want to go and have a quiet chat with the Yankees tonight."
Zhang Shitou shook his head and said: "No chance, someone will definitely look for him tonight. We also have to take a look at Wu Ningbo's behavior, and we'll talk about it later."
Li Feiyu smiled and said, "Yes, I've been waiting for so many years and it's not too late!"
But at this time Zhang Shitou suddenly said dullly: "But why should they help us?"
Li Feiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into a wry smile! Wu Ningbo was a nobleman, an important minister of the imperial court, and the commander-in-chief of the navy. Why should he help two pirate leaders?
If it hadn't been for the Yankees delivering letters from door to door, they would have threatened to attack their home base if they didn't come, and also promised to ensure their safety when meeting Wu Ningbo. Otherwise they would never come here in their lifetime.
Just when Li Feiyu was calculating how much money he had saved over the years, Zhang Shitou said dullly: "Money is useless!"
Li Feiyu always knew that his elder brother Zhang didn't talk much, but he always spoke accurately. And just like he said, Wu Ningbo is rich and powerful, how can he look at the wealth of two pirates! He probably only has one life left!
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Zhang Shitou say dullly again: "Life is useless!"
Li Feiyu said dumbfounded: "Brother Zhang, can you please say a few more words? Money is useless and life is useless, so what do we have left? I also know that as long as you wave your hand, there will be a lot of people willing to sacrifice their lives. , but we don’t have anything to change!”
Zhang Shitou still said dullly: "Present the picture!"
Li Feiyu said slowly: "Brother Zhang, are you talking about the picture of the pirate den and its owner that we have discovered over the years?"
Zhang Shitou nodded and said: "A lot of credit, a lot of money! Plus the sea map is enough!"
When Li Feiyu heard this, he began to think about it seriously. Over the years, he has not been idle at sea, and has found out a lot of secret information. He originally planned to use this information to save his life, but giving it now should have some effect!
And the other picture Zhang Shitou said is very precious! He found it among the relics of a dead pirate. Looking at the records above, it is very likely that they are the charts from Zheng He's voyages to the West. However, the way of copying the charts does not look like they were made officially, but rather like they were copied secretly!
There is another big problem with this chart, that is, there are no clear instructions on it, and many places are quite sloppy, so it is difficult to tell whether the drawing is authentic or fake! If it is actually sent and found to be a fake picture, I'm afraid it will make Uncle Wu Ning unhappy! Read the book
Just when Li Feiyu hesitated again and again, Zhang Shitou still said dullly: "Let's take a gamble!"
When Li Feiyu said this, blood rushed to his head. He stamped his feet and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, saying, "Then let's make a bet! I just dragged Brother Zhang into the water!"
Zhang Shitou shook his head casually and said nothing, which was regarded as acknowledging the matter and indicating that he did not care about it. Then the two discussed the issue of meeting and negotiating with Wu Ningbo. But most of the time it was just Li Feiyu who was talking, while Zhang Shitou nodded or shook his head to express his opinion.
After they had reached an agreement, they went back to rest. And just like they said, Liu Guangting was really busy tonight and actually received four people. As for what transactions took place, no one knows at all!
One night goes very quickly
It passed, but how many people actually slept during this night is another matter! The pirates argued almost until midnight before they separated, and then continued their quarrel in the morning after breakfast.
After a quarrel, when everyone met again in the morning, except for a few people who were very stubborn and did not want to accept Liu Guangting, the opinions had been unified a lot. We have changed from whether we should seek refuge with Liu Guangting and recommend him as the chief of the dragon's mouth to what benefit can he bring to us by being the chief of the dragon? How can I bargain with him?
When it was past noon, the pirate leaders were still wondering whether Liu Guangting would take care of the food at noon today, and they wanted to have another meal! Because they want a warm meal!
Eating green vegetables at sea is a very luxurious thing, and an even more luxurious thing than this is being able to eat hot vegetables! You must know that all ships now are made of wood, which is very flammable, and the charcoal fire used for cooking can easily cause fire, so cooking is a very dangerous thing! This makes it difficult to eat hot food on a long voyage.
But unfortunately, Liu Guangting completely ignored their intentions today, so these pirate leaders were a little unhappy and they all cursed! Some people said they wanted to be the leader, but they didn't even give them any benefits, but they still didn't get any greeting in exchange.
The pirate leaders barely managed to deal with it, and when they were about to continue arguing, almost all the pirate ships issued an early warning at the same time: "A fleet is approaching!"
All the pirates stood up and looked into the distance, and sure enough they saw a fleet approaching quickly! When they got closer, the pirates saw the sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind! The Ming Royal Navy has arrived!
But just then a strong wind blew over, it was more like God was intending to help, making the fleet's speed a little faster! So this naval fleet is getting closer and closer! At the same time, the pirates discovered that the flagship at the front seemed different from their usual ships!
The first thing they saw was the sail. Although there are three masts on this ship, the sails on it are soft sails! And it was only half hung, and there were a few extra sails on the bow and stern of the ship. Some knowledgeable pirates recognized that these sails were the jib, sidesail and stern sail used on large Western plywood ships!
Then we looked at the hull. There was no ship tower on the ship, and the deck was relatively straight. There was only a slightly protruding and raised platform at the stern. However, the entire hull was much taller than commonly used sea-going ships. It was somewhat similar to a Western ship. But there are differences.
