Although Feng Ruofang was captured by Yin Ziqi, he didn't look panicked. When Dugu asked about it, he said, "Okay, I have nothing to do, so I'll talk to you." He was under the control of others at the moment, but he looked like he was taking care of himself. The magnanimity of his appearance that his face remained unchanged even when Mount Fantai collapsed in front of him.
Yin Ziqi did not stop him and allowed Feng Ruofang to continue. Feng Ruofang said: "To be honest with Dugu Zhang, since we are called pirates, of course we must do some business of selling stones at sea. When the merchant ships rise in the sea, most of them cannibalize people. Naturally, we There has been no shortage of calamities, but we don’t have any deep grudges. If we encounter someone who is clever and fast, we won’t kill them all. We can chase them for several miles and forget about them if we can’t catch them.”
Jiang Shuo was surprised after hearing this, then why did Feng Ruofang personally track three large food ships for six thousand miles?
Feng Ruofang continued: "Although Feng is doing business without capital, he has thousands of brothers and dozens of large and small ships, but he doesn't have the time to chase a few escaped merchant ships."
Dugu asked: "Yes, this is human nature. Then why, Chief Feng, do you want to chase these three ships alone?"
Feng Ruofang said: "That's because when my little brother was doing business, this group of cannibals not only did not escape, but also scuttled two ships and killed dozens of my boys on the two ships. Mr. Dugu, what do you mean? Can the matter be settled like this?"
Dugu asked: "I see, you only thought they were ordinary Dashi merchant ships, but you didn't expect that they were actually Dashi warriors in disguise, so naturally you refused to submit."
Feng Ruofang suddenly realized: "It turns out they are an army! No wonder they carry so many bows and arrows. Why did the Great Eater send an army to our Tang Dynasty?"
Dugu Xiang said: "So you don't know, Chief Feng? They are here to plot with An Lushan to attack the Tang Dynasty in five directions."
Feng Ruofang rolled her eyes and said, "What about a five-pronged attack on the Tang Dynasty?"
Dugu Xiang was about to tell everything about the conspiracy on the Persian black ship vividly. She originally thought that Feng Ruofang would be furious, but she didn't expect that Feng Ruofang laughed loudly and said: "Where did the five-way Xiaoxiao come from? With the strength of the Tang Dynasty's military, it is not Is there any return?"
It was the golden age of Kaiyuan Tianbao. Not to mention ordinary people, even criminal thieves like Feng Ruofang had great confidence in the unparalleled military power of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, instead of being angry, he felt ridiculous.
Feng Ruofang asked Dugu: "Dugu Zhang, you don't have to worry about me. First kill this King Naowen and the son of An thief. I want to see if old thief Yin Ziqi can escape unscathed if he kills me."
Before Dugu could ask for an answer, Yan Zhuang burst out laughing, and Feng Ruofang said angrily: "What are you laughing at?"
Yan Zhuang seemed to have encountered the funniest thing in his life. He burst out laughing for a long time and said, "The big leader is really scared, but he said it so righteously."
Feng Ruofang sneered: "I'm not afraid of death, but what do you think I'm afraid of?"
Although Yan Zhuang also stopped laughing, he still raised the corners of his mouth and said rather disdainfully: "The big leader said he is not afraid, but I think he is very afraid in his heart."
Feng Ruofang raised her eyebrows and glared: "What am I afraid of? Even if there is really a five-pronged attack on the Tang Dynasty, what does it have to do with me doing my business on the sea? Where does the fear come from?"
Yan Zhuang said with a bad smile: "The big leader is still pretending not to know. It's really funny. Among the five routes to attack the Tang Dynasty, one of them is the Da Shi people attacking from the sea. The Da Shi people have thousands of warships in Ximing. If we attack the Tang Dynasty all together, Yazhou is the first to attack from the sea. The chief knows that King Naowen and Young Master An are now in the hands of Senior Dugu, and General Yin dares not do anything to you, so he dares to pretend to be so righteous. However, if the army of Dashi Come, the Yazhou pirates will inevitably be wiped out, so how can the leader not be afraid?"
The Tang Dynasty and Dashi are not bordering each other. The people of the Tang Dynasty are not very clear about the geography beyond Congling. Although the Tang Dynasty is open to mutual trade, it only allows foreigners to come to the Tang Dynasty to do business, but it does not require the Tang people to go to sea. Feng Ruofang is from the south. Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot control pirates, the Yazhou pirates only operate in the north of the rising sea. They are pirates and not merchants, so naturally they will not travel far across the ocean.
The Dashi people seen by the Tang Dynasty were all merchants who came by boat from the south of the rising sea. They expected Dashi to be in Ximing, but the Tang people did not know much about where Ximing was or the circumference of Dashi's country. Even a person like Dugu Wen, who was born in Longyou, didn't know that Dashi was actually in the Persian homeland to the west of Congling.
Although Jiang Shuo felt that the plan of Dashi to attack Tang Dynasty plotted on the black ship just now did not seem to be by sea, he did not know where Dashi was. Although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he could not speak out to refute Yan Zhuang.
The reason why Yan Zhuang said this was because he saw that Feng Ruofang had a strong temper. Although Yin Ziqi caught him, he wanted to use him as a threat. Not to mention Jiang Shuo and Dugu Wen, Feng Ruofang himself would never surrender and beg for mercy in order to survive. Therefore, Yan Zhuang simply took the risk and did the opposite. He said that Feng Ruofang was afraid of the Dashi navy. As expected, Feng Ruofang was angered. Feng Ruofang said angrily: "Yan Sheng, don't boast. Don't say that Dashi doesn't have thousands of ships." Even if we have warships, as long as they dare to invade, let alone the Tang Dynasty navy, even I, Yazhou, will not be able to get through!"
Yan Zhuang sneered and said: "If you ask me, the big leader is just boasting, but if you ask me, you are just afraid of chasing the Dashi fleet for six thousand miles."
Feng Ruofang was extremely angry and laughed: "What? What? I chased you for six thousand miles, but I'm afraid?"
Yan Zhuang said seriously: "Exactly, isn't the big leader just afraid that Nao Wen and others will return to Dashi and order all the naval fleet to come to Pingyazhou? Therefore, today he must use the hands of senior Dugu to kill Nao Wen. These This big cannibal wants to kill him with all his blades. In this way, even if the big leader dies today, it will leave a way for thousands of brothers in Yazhou to survive."
Yan Zhuang's words were putting the cart before the horse. Feng Ruofang pursued Nao Wen's three ships because the cannibals killed people and destroyed the ships, but there was no such thing as a cannibal fleet. However, if Feng Ruofang explained like this, she would inevitably appear short of breath. For the sake of rushing to talk, Feng Ruofang naturally refused to lose her momentum and sneered: "I want to take Naowen's life, why bother others? So I let Naowen go back, as long as If he dares to lead troops back, I will capture him and kill him to convince him."
Xu Lai was shocked when he heard this and said: "Chief Feng, no, Yan Zhuang is wagging his lips and what he said is not true. If Nao Wen is allowed to go back and he doesn't come back with the fleet, wouldn't he be allowed to do so?" Did you escape with your life in vain?”
Feng Ruofang said: "I ran away, and I still insist on taking the life of this big dog-eating thief? If I kill him today, won't we lose the prestige of our Yazhou?"
Xu Lai said: "Ah... Chief Feng, today I killed all these people in one fell swoop, but how can anyone spread the rumors? How did I lose the prestige of the chief?"
Yan Zhuang said: "Yes, yes, this is exactly the plan...please kill Yan Zhuang first!" As he said that, he slapped his neck, showing a generous look of willing to kill. He knew that he was in a desperate situation today, and he couldn't help it. If you know martial arts, you will die if you show weakness, if you simply show your righteousness, you will die.
Xu Lai said: "Okay, I'll kill you, you arrogant thief first!" As he said that, he stepped forward and raised his fist to fight. Yan Zhuang didn't know martial arts, and Xu Lai didn't need a weapon. He could do it with just one punch and one palm. It could kill him.
Feng Ruofang said: "On a certain boat, let's see who dares to make a mistake!" Although he was captured by Yin Ziqi, the pirates on the boat still followed his lead. After hearing this, they immediately opened their nets to block Xu Lai.
Xu Lai knew how powerful the fishing net formation was, so he didn't dare to force his way through it. He jumped to his feet and said anxiously: "Big boss..."
Feng Ruofang said: "Xu Lang, please don't say any more. I have made up my mind, so I will leave Naowen alone and go back. I want to see what great abilities the Dashi Navy has."
Xu Lai turned to Dugu and asked, "Senior Dugu, you can't listen to Chief Feng. This cannibal is a scourge and you can't let him go."
Before Dugu Wen could say anything, Feng Ruofang said, "Dugu Zhang, although I respect you as a senior, but if you kill this big cannibal, don't blame me for turning against him."
Dugu asked: "Chief Feng, what Yan Zhuang said may not be true. If Nao Wen is let go and Dashi really plans to attack Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
Feng Ruofang said: "I have already said that if the cannibals dare to come, let them know about my methods, Feng!"
Dugu asked: "What if the cannibals don't come from the sea, but go by land?"
Feng Ruofang laughed loudly and said: "Dugu Zhang, you are still the clan leader of the Dugu clan in Longyou. If Dashi comes from the west and encounters the Western army, can you still favour?"
In the early years of Tianbao, half of the Tang army was in the west. Dugu asked: "Even so..."
Feng Rufang felt a little regretful after hearing what Xu Lai said, and seeing that Dugu Wen didn't seem to agree with letting him go, she actually didn't want to.
He let Naowen go, but what he just said was too full and he couldn't keep his words, so he asked Jiang Shuo, "Young Master Jiang, you are the leader of gangsters. Should you let Naowen go?"
The leaders of the Jianghu League in the past were known as the "Leader of Thieves". Feng Ruofang was a little scornful when he first met Jiang Shuo, but later he and Yin Ziqi fought and his weapons were knocked away in one move. However, Jiang Shuo and Yin Ziqi fought back and forth. Feng Ruofang no longer looked down upon Jiang Shuo. He thought that Jiang Shuo was on the same side as Dugu Wen and Xu Lai, and naturally opposed to making trouble, so he asked him so that he could take back what he said.
However, he did not expect that Jiang Shuo was still a young man in his twenties. After all, he had the character of a young man. Jiang Shuo said: "Shuo'er thought that although the fuss was abhorrent, the attack on the Tang Dynasty had not been implemented after all, so it would be better to let it go. It would be best if he could change his ways, and if he really dared to lead his army to attack the Tang Dynasty, whether by sea or by land, our Tang army would be so powerful and the people would have more people with lofty ideals, they would never come back."
Feng Rufang never expected that Jiang Shuo would actually agree to let Nao Wen go. She was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly: "Young Master Jiang is indeed a hero in his youth. What do you think, Dugu Zhang?"
Dugu Xiang didn't think it was a big deal, and asked Dugu: "Grandpa, please let go of Naowen. I don't think there are any capable experts in the Great Eaters. Even if they lead an army to attack, what are they afraid of?"
Although Dugu Wen used his unique skills to capture Nao Wen and An Qingxu, he respected his identity and was not willing to kill the two of them. Now when he heard what Jiang Shuo said, he smiled and said, "Shuo'er is right, so I let these two people go." So what about the big thieves, but what about An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Yan Zhuang doesn't know martial arts, so killing him won't bring any glory. An Qingxu let us pass at Wuruan Pass. If we kill him this time, I'm afraid he won't accept it either."
Dugu Wen nodded and said, "Okay, then let them all go. Yin Ziqi, if you let Chief Feng go, we will let you go."
