At this time, the sun was not bright yet, but the lights in the government office were already brightly lit.
After Yuan Chixin returned to the government office from Wubo Lake, he didn't rest at all and spent the whole night making plans for the possible actions of the pirates.
Ye Ming and the others brought another Tushan fox demon to express their welcome, and then got busy with the matter at hand.
Ye Ming informed the four merchants that all the old boxes had been stolen by the evil cultivator Wu Zhi. The box was somewhere now and asked him to send someone to carry it back.
Yuan Chixin was very excited when he heard this. This could be regarded as a complete solution to the government's financial problems.
Not only that, but a large amount of wealth can also be sent to the prince.
Then there was the matter of setting up defenses, which Ye Ming actually did not need to worry about. He originally wanted to be lazy and count what he had harvested tonight, but Yuan Chixin was not at ease and insisted on dragging him along to provide advice.
The detailed arrangements related to this kind of war are very cumbersome and a bit boring for Danwen and Miaotong.
Moreover, Dan Wen seemed to have something to say to Miao Tong alone, so she pulled her away, left Shumin Pavilion, went to Miao Tong's room, and closed the door.
Seeing that her second sister was so mysterious, Miaotong asked curiously:
"Second sister, what are you doing? Is there anything important?"
"You girl, I just heard Mr. Yuan calling that guy 'Mr. Shan Yuan'. Don't you know who Shan Yuan is?"
Dan Wen said with some fear.
Because Miao Tong had always called Ye Ming a "big liar" before, he didn't know Ye Ming's alias. Now that he knew it, he was very scared.
"I know, I knew it before."
"I know you still..."
"Second sister, you have misunderstood. In fact, it is the pure fox clan who made mistakes first and wants to bully others..."
Miao Tong told her second sister that Ye Ming had casually deceived her.
After hearing this, Dan Wen also became angry:
"This pure fox clan is really too much and deserves it!"
If Ye Ming had said these words himself, Dan Wen might not have believed them, but who knew it was Miaotong who said them?
Without mentioning this matter, Dan Wen asked again:
"Xiao Miaotong, have you returned to your ancestors in advance recently?"
"Second sister, how do you know?"
"The life card you left in the ancestral land reacted abnormally. The ancestor said that you were returning to your ancestors too quickly. Let me take a look at the situation.
Tell me quickly, what's going on? "
"This is what it is..."
Miaotong talked about the giant shark language and the story of Tang Shi turning into a monster.
After hearing this, Dan Wen frowned slightly:
"So, it's possible that this guy is deliberately stimulating you to speed up the process of returning to your ancestors."
"Ah, no, second sister, I think you may be overthinking."
"Why not? Others don't understand the language of the Shark Clan, and it's impossible for the Nanhai Hai Clan to not understand it.
You have all established contact with the South China Sea Dragon Palace. You only need to call a sea tribe to act as a translator. Why bother? "
After hearing what Danwen said, Miaotong also muttered a little:
"Could it be that he doesn't know that the Sea Clan understands the Merman language..."
"Miaotong, don't speak for him at this time. Let me ask you, apart from accelerating your return to your ancestors, what else has he done to you?"
"Others... seem to be gone."
When Miao Tong thought about it, she realized that there was nothing else.
Danwen was worried and asked carefully.
After asking for a while, I found nothing suspicious, but looked at my sister with a strange expression:
"Miaotong, tell the second sister honestly, are you tempted?"
"Ah...Second sister, I..."
Miao Tong suddenly became a little embarrassed when she was suddenly asked such a straightforward question.
"I don't know either......"
As he spoke, he grabbed his hair, his posture a little awkward.
Seeing Miaotong like this, Danwen naturally knew that she had guessed correctly.
He stepped forward and hugged Miaotong gently, smiling and saying:
“You girl, my sister is not against you.
We in the Tushan lineage attach the most importance to such emotional matters.
As long as there are no problems with the other party, your sister will definitely support you. "
"real?"
When Miao Tong heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. When have we Tushan ever told lies about this kind of thing?"
"Thank you, second sister!"
Miaotong rubbed herself in Danwen's arms very happily.
"However, the ugly talk is ahead. The advancement of your return to your ancestors has something to do with him. We must first clarify this matter."
"I know, I know, I still think he doesn't have bad intentions."
"He doesn't have any bad intentions, but he doesn't seem to have any intentions towards you either."
"Second sister..."
"Don't worry, my sister is here and she will definitely help you."
...
It was daylight, and after half a night of planning, the defense plan was finally finalized.
Next, you need to go to some key locations and check in person to prevent accidents.
Therefore, there is still no rest.
Yuan Chixin got on the carriage and could only rest for a while on the way to the destination.
Ye Ming and the other three also sat in the latter carriage.
Among the pirates, there are also demons, sneaks and other extraordinary powers to help them out, and they are also the forces of the Mullet King.
This attack will inevitably be carried out without the instruction of the Mullet King.
It might even be that the Mullet King wanted to test the power of Pingbo Mansion.
Anyway, to the Mullet King, the pirates are just a group of outcasts who can be abandoned at any time. It doesn't hurt at all to use them like this.
While driving, Dan Wen took a look at Ye Ming and planned to test it out with her superb speaking skills.
"Mr. Good Destiny..."
Before she finished speaking, Miaotong asked directly:
"Big liar, my return to my ancestors has accelerated, did you do it on purpose?"
Seeing Miaotong ask directly, Danwen's eyes widened and she couldn't help but look at her.
What is this girl doing? Who is she helping?
When you ask questions like this, only a fool will tell the truth!
"Oh, this is my intention."
"Why?"
"Sooner or later, your return to your ancestors will have an explosive period. Once the explosive period comes, it is easy to lose control.
It allows you to speed up the progress of returning to your ancestors and reach the outbreak period earlier, making it easier to control. "
"real?"
"Fake."
"Huh, if you say that, it must be true!"
Seeing the two people clarifying the matter in just a few words, Dan Wen suddenly felt a little disappointed.
In her expectation, even if this kind-hearted gentleman was doing good for his sister, he should keep this secret in his heart and work quietly by himself.
Later, the two began to have misunderstandings and conflicts, and then Miaotong discovered the problem and began to investigate the truth.
In the end, I found out that this person did everything for her, and I was so moved that they resolved the conflict in this way, and finally confessed their feelings to each other...
In short, in her plan, this matter needs at least twenty chapters to be discussed in detail, especially the psychological description of both parties, which must be detailed and detailed.
There must be a vigorous and unforgettable oath of love in the middle.
Unexpectedly, the possible conflicts were eliminated with just two words, which made her feel a little disappointed.
"Second sister, you heard it! The big liar has no bad intentions!"
Miao Tong said to Dan Wen very happily.
Danwen didn't know how to answer the question, so she had to hold Miaotong in her arms and play with her.
At this time, Ye Ming suddenly said to her:
"You are in danger recently. You need to be careful. It is best not to meet strange men."
"Can you tell fortunes?"
"Know a thing or two."
Seeing that Ye Ming didn't look like he was joking, Dan Wen couldn't help but think about it.
Miaotong asked worriedly:
"Is the second sister's calamity a blessing or a curse?"
"Who can tell!"
Ye Ming smiled and said that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
But Dan Wen's expression changed slightly, if what this guy said was true.
Who could the strange man you met be?
Could it be...
I don't know what she thought of, but Dan Wen's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little shy...
Yuan Chixin came out of the government office and went all the way to the seaside, checking things along the way while constantly receiving news from the sea.
The latest news shows that a considerable part of the ships used by the pirates for this gathering were warships "sent" by the former prefect.
Not only are all kinds of soldiers and armors available, but they are also equipped with a large crossbow.
In that formation, the weapons and equipment were no different than those of the imperial soldiers, but the number of people was actually much larger than that of the imperial soldiers, with nearly 7,000 people.
After getting this specific news, Yuan Chixin was a little lucky. Fortunately, he had made arrangements in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to fight this battle and would just wait to die.
Even if you are prepared now, you will probably face a fierce battle when the time comes.
However, since receiving this news, no specific information about the situation of the pirates has been received, which is worrying.
At the same time, Yuan Chi couldn't help but worry about the spies among the pirates.
The spy was originally a pure pirate. After Yuan Chixin arrived, he managed Pingbo Mansion and won the hearts of the people.
One fisherman was so moved that he took the risk to contact his brother who was a pirate and asked him to serve as an internal response.
Who would become a pirate if they could live an upright life?
There are so many pirates at sea now, and they are inseparable from the misdeeds of the four merchants over the years.
Given the opportunity to be a new person, the pirate would naturally not let it go and became an internal agent here...
Yuan Chi's worries were right. At this time, around a small island in the sea, there were ships of all kinds, large and small, gathered.
On one of the largest ships, a group of pirates were making a loud noise, shouting things like "the traitors deserve to die".
There was a man tied to the mast, and his skin had been peeled off. He looked bloody and miserable.
The skinned man was not dead yet and was still breathing weakly.
A man in his twenties with a thick stubble walked to the middle of the boat and scanned everyone.
When the other pirates saw this, they immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything more.
"You've all seen it, this is the fate of traitors. Anyone who dares to betray everyone and take refuge in the government will be skinned and cramped. Life is worse than death!"
As soon as he said this, the pirates around him shouted:
"Being skinned and cramped, life would be worse than death!"
After shouting slogans for a while, the man said again:
"Dear heroes, since I, Wang Chaohai, have become the leader to lead you to attack Pingbo Mansion this time, I will naturally guarantee that I will lead you to attack the city, so that everyone can burn, kill and loot to their heart's content. Money, food, and women, if you have more Even the boat can’t be pulled down!”
Under his instigation, all the pirate leaders were excited and howling, and they all expressed their willingness to obey his command on this trip.
Later, Wang Chaohai threw the traitor into a pot in public and boiled it into a pot of soup, which was eaten by all the sea pirates.
After eating this pot of broth, everyone's eyes turned red and they looked like wild beasts.
Wang Chaohai made an agreement with everyone that everyone would dock and log in together early tomorrow morning.
In this way, all the pirate leaders dispersed and got ready, planning to do something that they would never dare to think about tomorrow.
After seeing off many pirate leaders, Wang Chao looked toward Pingbo Mansion with hatred in his eyes.
In fact, his name is not Chao Hai, but Lou Chao Hai.
Not only was he the most powerful of the pirates, he was also the illegitimate son of Lou Fucheng.
It's just that his status is too humble. His mother was originally a prostitute on a flower boat, and was taken home by Lou Fu Cheng.
After he was born, his status in the Lou family was extremely low, and his treatment was completely different from that of the legitimate son of the Lou family.
Later, he was arranged to fake his own death by Lou Fucheng, changed his name to his current name, and became a pirate, doing shady things for the Lou family.
In recent years, not to mention other merchant ships, even the ships of the four merchants themselves have suffered many disasters.
The bulk of the harvest naturally went to the Lou family, but he did not get much benefit.
Wang Chaohai, who had long harbored deep resentments, finally waited for his chance.
This time, if he could break into Fucheng, the first thing he would do was kill all the four merchants.
Especially Lou Fucheng, he would peel the skin and cramp it himself, stew it into a pot of soup, and finish it by himself!
