Xu Shichang pondered for a while, and said: "To tell you the truth, the youngest of the Flying Fish Gang, Lai San, is also considered number one at sea. In the battle of Zhoushan, he defeated the Dutch Red Hair, and until now, even the British and French warships are afraid of him. I was thinking, isn’t it that we are short of such a manpower to form a new type of navy? If Lai Lao San can recruit for us, why not worry about the big thing!”

Xiao Ran frowned and said: "That's good, but you said just now that this person doesn't want to be an official, even if we want to recruit, I don't know if he will or not?"

Xu Shichang shook his head thoughtfully.At this moment, Niqiu suddenly shook the sampan again, saying that the old man met, and Lai Laosan wanted to invite Xu Shichang to board the boat for a drink.Xu Shichang chuckled, and said to Xiao Ran in a low voice: "The opportunity is here!"

Ran said: "How to say?"

Xu Shichang said: "Although Lai Laosan and I have an old relationship, we are now in the army after all. It is rare that he is willing to invite me to drink. I want to persuade him to accept the recruitment. This is a good opportunity."

Xiao Ran hurriedly said: "Are you going? No way! Even if you two had friendship in the past, but now after all, one is a soldier and the other is a thief. Who can guarantee that they will do something? Beware of others, Brother Xu, Absolutely not to go! Even if we talk about recruiting security, we will naturally meet him on the island when we finish fighting Grand Duke Island, and it will not be too late to discuss it."

Xu Shichang smiled and said: "I know. But my lord, it is because of this that I am going all the more. The reason Lai Lao San is looking for me now is not out of friendship, but because he is wary of us. Do you think Ah, we drove over three battleships at once. Does he have no worries about us? He said he was buying me a drink, but he just wanted to find out our details. If I don't go now, he will definitely make him suspicious .Once he has a pimple in his heart, it will be extremely difficult to recruit security!"

What Xu Shichang said was indeed true, but Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and still insisted: "That's not okay either! Brother Xu, we have more than 20 ships and a new navy in the future, but we are counting on you. What a mistake, what should I do? It is certainly a good thing to be able to recruit the Flying Fish Gang, but it is not worth taking such a big risk!"

Xu Shichang, with an arrogant and stubborn personality, said in his heart that although what the adults said was reasonable, this opportunity is so rare, how could he miss it so easily?Although Lai Laosan was born as a pirate, he is upright and upright.It shouldn't be possible to do anything indiscriminate.Taking a step back, even if Lai Lao San really wanted to harm me, with his wit and good water skills, there was no way anyone could trap me on the boat.But you can't say this directly to the adults, rolled your eyes, and said: "My lord, although I don't have much friendship with Lai Laosan, I know him very well. Lai Laosan is named Lai Dingzhong. Although he is a pirate. But He is upright and forthright. He hates evil like an enemy. He never plunders Chinese merchant ships. He only wants to fight against foreign devils. Regardless of whether the recruitment is successful or not, he will definitely not do anything against me. Don't worry, if the subordinates are not fully sure, Absolutely dare not play this guarantee.”

Hearing what he said with a confident look, Xiao Ran hesitated for a while.Seeing him, Xu Shichang wanted to let go.Hastily struck while the iron was hot and kept persuading.Xiao Ran thought for a while, then said: "Okay. Since Big Brother Xu is so sure, let's give it a try. But you must be careful yourself. If anything happens, immediately send a signal to summon the brothers. Also, life-saving is the most important thing, remember Is it?"

Xu Shichang was overjoyed.Full of promise.Xiao Ran took a flag flower rocket from his brother.Only by hiding it in Xu Shichang's trousers with his own hands can he feel relieved.Xu Shichang sat on a sampan and rowed all the way to the Flying Fish Gang boat.

This time he guessed right.Lai Dingzhong really wanted to test the details here.After all, the pirates and the officers and soldiers joined hands, how dare they trust each other easily?Specially prepared a sumptuous banquet and greeted him personally on the deck.Seeing that Xu Shichang went to the appointment happily, half of the worries in his heart were gone first, and after greetings, he invited him to the table.

Pushing a cup to change a cup is a must to renew old friendships.After drinking for three rounds, Xu Shichang didn't need Lai Dingzhong to ask, so he roughly explained the cause and effect of this secret recruitment.Speaking of killing four British warships with hydrogen balloons, including a 1000-ton battleship, Lai Dingzhong was stunned. When it came to a team of more than 20 people sweeping Japan and capturing more than [-] ships, Lai Lao San was even more so. Eyeballs almost fell off.

With all doubts gone, the two drank happily.Xu Shichang also talked about the Daxingshan troops, from the catastrophe of Nianzishan to the Northern Expedition to Russia, they beat the foreign devils to pieces, and Lai Dingzhong was excited to hear it.In fact, Lai Dingzhong is also a proud man, and he has always looked down on the Qing army, so he refused to accept the imperial court's offer.Although Xu Shichang was invited to a banquet this time, I always felt that he had taken refuge in the Qing court, and I couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in my heart.It wasn't until after hearing these words that he looked at Xu Shichang with admiration, and his admiration was overflowing.

Xu Shichang watched his words and expressions, and seeing his change of mind, he took the opportunity to explain the meaning of Zhao'an.When it comes to the fact that although the Qing court is corrupt, there are foreign barbarians at sea fighting fiercely, bloody men should take it as their duty to protect their families and the country, Lai Dingzhong remains silent.If someone had dared to say such things in front of him before, they would have thrown them into the sea to feed the fish. But hearing that this Qing army was brave and good at fighting and swept the foreign lands, he couldn't help feeling reverent, pondered for a long time, and said: "It's not impossible to recruit security. As long as we can fight the foreign devils, more than 2000 brothers in my Feiyu Gang will support it! It's just that I still have some doubts in my heart. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Xu Shichang said: "Does the third master have any requirements? But it doesn't matter."

Lai Dingzhong chuckled, and said: "Although what we are doing is robbery, we are not those villains who forget their righteousness for profit. It's not a matter of asking, just

So, your Lord Xiao is really as amazing as you say?Don't mind what Shichang said, those shitty officials in the Qing court, brother, I have heard too much, and when I see foreign devils, they run faster than their mother's rabbits.I don't believe that Lord Xiao really has such abilities, could it be that Yue Wumu is reborn and Qi Jiguang is reborn? "

Xu Shichang said proudly: "I, Xu Shichang, have always said one thing and one thing and another thing. If there is any adulteration in what I said just now, it will be struck by lightning! If it weren't for my brothers respecting the third master as a man, I wouldn't be bothered if I changed someone else." Say it!"

Lai Dingzhong laughed aloud, raised his glass and said, "Brother Shichang, don't be angry! I've seen too many wretches in the Qing court, so I'm asking this question."

Xu Shichang said: "What is the third master's plan for recruiting security?"

Lai Dingzhong raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, then slowly wiped his mouth, and did not speak for a long time.Under the light, there seemed to be a faint flash of light in his eyes that were squinted into two lines.Xu Shichang's heart moved, and he couldn't help touching his waist subconsciously, but he saw Lai Dingzhong suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Okay! Since Master Xiao is such a hero, I, the Flying Fish Gang, are willing to follow. In one word: accept the offer!"

After finishing speaking, he filled a cup and said to Xu Shichang: "Brother Shichang, you and I will be comrades in the future, so let's drink this cup!"

Xu Shichang was overjoyed, held the cup with both hands, and drank it all in one gulp.Unexpectedly, before the cup was put down, Lai Dingzhong slapped the table and shouted, "Where are the left and right?"

Before the words were finished, 30 to [-] people rushed out from the back of the cabin, pushing Xu Shichang to the ground like wolves like tigers.Xu Shichang's eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "Lao San, you dare to cheat!"

Lai Dingzhong sneered and said: "Brother, I'm sorry. I want to recruit my Flying Fish Gang, but I can do it. I just don't know if your Master Xiao can bear it or not?"

Xu Shichang said angrily, "What exactly do you want?"

Lai Dingzhong said: "It's nothing, I just invited Master Xiao to come over for a talk. If he is really a great hero, my Flying Fish Gang will immediately accept the recruitment and swear to die. If he is a counselor, hehe..."

Xu Shichang was short-tempered, and he had flag flowers and rockets, but they had already been tied up firmly, where could they be released?Couldn't help yelling.Lai Dingzhong ignored him, and still asked Nixiu to row the sampan to invite Xiao Ran.

Besides, Xiao Ran waited on the boat for a long time, but he didn't see Xu Shichang coming back, so he couldn't help secretly worrying, he was about to send the water ghost to board the boat, and went there to investigate in the dark, but he saw the loach coming again, saying that Lai Dingzhong had agreed to be recruited, and specially came to invite Xiao Ran to come over discuss.Xiao Ran was also carried away by his complacency for a while, and he wanted to board the ship out of great joy, no matter what happened.Sheng Zuo, Duan Xingnian and others were worried and wanted to go together, but there was only one vacant seat on the small sampan except for the sailors.Xiao Ran thought that since Xu Shichang said so confidently and didn't send a signal, it seemed that there would be no problem, but the fact that he brought too many people made people suspicious.Disregarding the dissuasion of Sheng Zuo and others, they left by boat.

He boarded the boat full of joy, and only heard a loud shout: "Do it!" Dozens of big men rushed forward, tied up, and didn't even have a chance to draw their guns.For a moment, my intestines were full of regrets, and my heart finished talking about the bird!It's a pity that I, Xiao Ran, think I'm extremely smart, but why am I so fucking mentally handicapped today!Old Xu, old Xu, it seems that you are going to play me to death today!

Xu Shichang was not in the cabin when he was rushed into the cabin. There was a man in his 40s, with a slightly fat body, a square face, triangular eyes and a hooked nose, and a trace of flesh on his face. It's frightening, it must be Lai Laosan.Fortunately, Xiao Ran has gone through the test of life and death for a long time, even though he is afraid of dying in his heart, he can hold on on the surface.

He is well aware of the habits of pirates. If they fall into their hands, it will be a knife if they stretch out their head, and it will also be a knife if they retract their head.

Someone next to him shouted: "Kneel down!" Xiao Ran snorted coldly, and said, "Why? I, Xiao Ran, kneel to everyone, but I don't kneel like a coward!"

"Fart, who do you call a coward?" Someone yelled already.

Xiao Ran sneered and said: "Why not? It's a hero, let's meet with swords and guns. This despicable trick really makes people laugh. If it weren't for the fact that you are Chinese and came to fight Japanese pirates, you think I would To be fooled by this? Fuck, it's just me and Lao Xu who overestimated you!"

The pirates wanted to yell again, but Lai Dingzhong raised his hand to stop him, stood up slowly, walked up to Xiao Ran, and said, "That's right, I can't tell you look like a rabbit, but you really have a bit of backbone. It's a pity Today you fell into the hands of my old man Lai. What I hate the most is you shitty officials. Don’t count on your life. If you kneel down and kowtow ten or eight times now, maybe I will still be able to say goodbye. Show mercy and let you die quickly, how about it?"

→Chapter 153 - Subduing the Flying Fish Gang←

Kneel quickly!Kneel quickly! "The pirates yelled at one another. What does Xiao Ran mean? These guys are not in a hurry to kill me, but they seem to want to see me subdue? Suddenly I remembered Xu Shichang's words, if Lai Dingzhong is really what he said Would such a person really target his allies? Besides, he just came back from recruiting Japanese. Based on this, Lai Laosan should take a high look, right? Could it be...

A thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Ran quickly made up his mind.With a faint smile, he said: "I heard from Xu Shichang that the Third Master Lai of the Flying Fish Gang is upright and a hero. When I saw him today, I realized that the reputation is hard to beat!"

Lai Dingzhong frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

Xiao Ran said: "I never imagined that the Feiyu gang would be so uncomfortable killing someone, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are they worthy of being a man? It would make people laugh!"

Lai Dingzhong's face suddenly changed, he stared at Xiao Ran for a while, grinned, and said: "Okay, I have seen a lot of people with backbone, but I have never seen someone who is not afraid of death like you. Do you want to die? Okay, I Let me fulfill you, no matter what, I won’t let you look down on me, Lai Lao San! Come on, escort me to the bow of the boat, and chop off his head as a sacrifice to the sea!”

When Xiao Ran heard it, he felt sour water gurgling from his mouth.The heart said, but this time the mother is pretending to be big, I am not only afraid of death, but also terribly afraid!But he was full of words, and he couldn't take it back for a while, and he felt like crying, so he let the pirates push and drag him to the bow.

At this time, Xu Shichang was tied up like a rice dumpling and stuffed in the back cabin with his mouth tightly sealed.But the ears can hear clearly.At the beginning, he was quite happy to hear that Xiao Ran didn't pretend to be a coward, but when he heard Lai Laosan ordered to behead him, he was immediately stunned.After all, this Lai Dingzhong is a pirate leader who kills without batting an eyelid. If he gets angry because of one sentence, he will beheaded the master, who dares to guarantee it?

I was so anxious that I couldn't help at all.Can only secretly pray.I begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

It's just that Xiao Ran was escorted to the bow.Just as the side of the boat was thrown over by a fall, a burly man next to him swished out an old-style plank knife commonly used by the navy. The back of the knife was straight, slightly wider and thicker than ordinary waist knives, and the three-foot-long blade reflected in the sky A cold light reflected from below.

Lai Dingzhong also followed, walked slowly to Xiao Ran's side, and said, "How is it, Lord Xiao? Do you really want to die that much? If you change your mind now, there is still time."

Xiao Ran closed his eyes and said nothing.Lai Dingzhong was stunned secretly: Why do officials in the Qing Dynasty really have such a hero who is not afraid of death?He didn't know that Xiao Ran was calculating at a speed of billions of trillions at this time, thinking about how to beg for mercy and where he would be free to talk to him.

Lai Dingzhong sneered and said, "Since that's the case, you can't blame me! Do it!"

The board knife was raised high.He cut it down with a whimper.Roll up a gust of wind!

"and many more!"

Xiao Ran let out a loud roar, and Lai Dingzhong stretched out his arm like lightning, and struck the arm of the man with the knife.He abruptly stopped the knife.

"Hahaha! I thought I was really not afraid of death, but it turned out to be his mother's pretend! Playing a tough guy with me, hehe, I have seen a lot of my old three!"

Lai Dingzhong looked up to the sky and laughed, showing his contempt.Xiao Ran gave him a cold look, and said: "Don't get me wrong. It's not difficult to kill me, but it's not now. Lai Laosan, on the opposite side of you, there are three battleships, seven cruisers, and a large and small gunboat , and the elite division that just wiped out Japan. Kill me, do you think they can let you go? With your dozen or so three-masted fast battleships, can you stop it?"

Lai Dingzhong laughed loudly and said, "Are you bluffing me? Are you scaring the world by treating me as the third child? I said Master Xiao, you won't just try your best like this? According to you, should I kowtow to you now to apologize and beg for mercy? ?”

All the pirates on board suddenly burst into laughter.Xiao Ran was still expressionless, and said word by word: "You are wrong. What I mean is that you should take me as a hostage first, so that my subordinates will not dare to act rashly. After leaving this sea area, casually If you kill him, Xiao Ran will kill you."

The voice of this sentence is not high, but it seems to penetrate the laughter and send it to everyone's ears very clearly.The laughter stopped abruptly, everyone was stunned, staring straight at Xiao Ran, completely silent.

After a long while, Lai Dingzhong suddenly smiled and said, "What do you mean? I am like a bodhisattva crossing the river, and you still pretend to be kind to save us? Grandma is a bear, trying to delay time, you think I am a three-year-old child?" There was a dry laugh, but it sounded like booing.
