I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

After interrogation, the messenger confessed everything.

However, the emissary did not know which island to meet these pirates on.

Out of distrust of the imperial court, the gang of Japanese pirates agreed to meet, but they were required to meet at the meeting place.

It is also for this reason that Zhu Zhangui gave up the encirclement and suppression plan and chose to lure the snake out of the hole.

Originally, the generals disagreed with Zhu Zhangui's going on this trip in person.

As the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down.

If Zhu Zhangui went to any danger, they couldn't afford it.

Once Zhu Zhangui had an accident, the best choice for all the generals of the Shenji Battalion and the Navy would be to kill themselves, so as not to hurt their families.

But sending others to go, Zhu Zhangui was worried that they would not be able to complete the task satisfactorily.

Zhu Zhangui did not bring any counselors with him on this trip, and he was surrounded by big bosses who fought and killed people.

Of course, besides Yu Qian, there was no one around him who could make a move.

Sending generals over, Zhu Zhangui was afraid that they would show their feet.

After much deliberation, for the sake of the whole plan, Zhu Zhangui decided to go in person.

But in order to ensure safety, the navy has made preparations dozens of miles overseas.

Once Zhu Zhangui's side sends out a signal, they will attack immediately.

Li Hu, the chief officer of the navy, was even more worried and brought hundreds of experts to protect him.

With Li Hu and these hundreds of guards, even if there is a conflict with the Japanese pirates, they can protect Zhu Zhangui's safety before the navy arrives.

"Sir, there is a boat coming!"

While Zhu Zhangui and Li Hu were admiring the sea view, the lookout post issued a warning of an approaching ship.

"Continue to inform, remember my explanation, whether we can wipe out these pirates in one fell swoop depends on whether they take the bait tonight."

"Yes!"

Li Hu responded, and ordered the guards around him to remind him again.

"Hey, how's your harvest today? How many fish did you catch!"

Soon, a small boat approached, and a man dressed as a fisherman on the boat shouted at the big boat while arranging the fish.

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly at Li Hu.

Li Hu took a step forward, and replied according to the secret signal agreed by the two parties.

"Oh, the fishing net had a hole, so I caught two sea crabs, and one escaped!"

"Ha ha…"

The fisherman laughed, and then asked.

"Are the crabs running male or female? How many claws have they grown?"

Li Hu laughed four times as required, and it was still a very awkward smile.

"It ran half male and not female. When I grabbed it, three of its claws were torn off, and two were broken when it fell into the sea. There are still a few left. It's too dark to see clearly!"

The fishermen who were picking up the seafood threw the fish in their hands aside and cupped their hands at the big boat.

"Dare to ask what your name is, so that I can report to my superiors."

Li Hu bowed back and answered loudly.

"My husband's surname is Wang, and he is the second young master's shopkeeper."

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Wang's. I'm sorry and disrespectful."

The fisherman saluted the middle-aged scholar who stood on the deck without looking at him.

"Please wait for a while, I will go back and report to the head of my family."

"It's too cold, go and come back quickly, don't let my husband freeze."

Soon, the boat disappeared into the darkness.

"Whoever came up with the docking code, it's nothing!"

Watching the boat disappear, Li Hu shook his head speechlessly.

Zhu Zhangui chuckled lightly.

"As for secret codes, it's most normal to talk here and there. If it's too serious, it's still a secret code."

After about three sticks of incense, light slowly appeared in the darkness in the distance.

"coming!"

Zhu Zhangui reminded, Li Hu and others grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist and the handle of the gun in his arms, and got ready.

A big boat with a torch on it slowly approached.

Zhu Zhangui vaguely saw that the boat was full of men with swords and bows.

"If you dare to ask, Mr. Wang is in person!"

A rich and fat man stood on the deck at the bow, and greeted Zhu Zhangui with his hands.

"Exactly, I haven't asked your name yet!"

Zhu Zhangui suppressed his throat and bowed back with his hands clasped.

"Sir, just call me Sea Urchin King!"

The corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

This is obviously the nickname of the other party.

The two boats approached quickly, and a wooden plank was placed on top of the two boats.

The fat man smiled apologetically.

"Just in case, please feel wronged, sir, and I will take you ashore!"

Zhu Zhangui and Li Hu glanced at each other, not afraid of the other's tricks, they took a few people onto the other's boat.

"Take care of Mr. Wang's men!"

After Zhu Zhangui and Li Hu boarded the boat, the fat man gave instructions to his subordinates, smiled and invited Zhu Zhangui to board a small boat before heading towards the island.

Prudent enough.

Seeing the other party's arrangement, Zhu Zhangui frowned.

The boat moved slowly, and the people on board did not talk to each other.

Entering the island area, the small boat was replaced by a larger boat, and it took half an hour to approach an island.

After changing to the boat again, Zhu Zhangui and his party officially landed.

The place to go ashore is a sandy beach.

There were many people standing indistinctly on the beach, each holding a weapon, wary of the surroundings and other people.

It was obvious they weren't on the same team.

"Sir please!"

After landing, the fat man smiled and stretched out his hand to lure him, and walked towards the cliff of the island in the dark.

"Please don't blame me, sir. The Ming navy is roaming around everywhere. If we attack with fire, it will easily expose our position."

Zhu Zhangui supported Li Hu while walking forward, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's better to be careful!"

A group of people walked to the edge of a cliff.

The fat man told Zhu Zhangui and the others to wait a while. He stepped forward and groped on the cliff, and opened a curtain.

"Sir, please, the masters are already waiting inside."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the cave with faint fire, patted Li Hu on the shoulder, and strode in.

The cave was not deep, and after walking tens of meters, a huge cave appeared in front of Zhu Zhangui's eyes.

The cave is about the size of a basketball court, and there are piles in the east and west, with about 20 people sitting or standing.

In the middle of the cave, there is a table of eight immortals.

There were three men sitting at the table. At this time, the three of them were chatting without saying a word, drinking tea and eating snacks.

When they noticed someone coming in, everyone in the cave looked over.

The fat man stepped forward and smiled at the three of them.

"Let me introduce to the three masters. This Mr. Wang is the treasurer of the Second Young Master who invited us over."

Then he turned around and introduced Zhu Zhangui.

"These three are the three masters of the sea, namely the sea crab, the sea oyster, and the conch!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless!

"I've seen three sea brothers!"

When the three of them heard this address, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely.

The tall sea crab smiled.

"I have a special status, so I can only be called by this kind of nickname, please don't blame me, sir!"

Zhu Zhangui smiled and waved his hands.

"It's okay, I can understand it!"

Several people greeted each other politely, and the fat man invited Zhu Zhangui to take a seat.

"Originally there was a sea hedgehog coming, but it turned out that this guy was unlucky a few days ago and was wiped out by the court's navy, so today only the four of us came."

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly.

"I have also learned about this, and I also deeply regret the murder of Brother Sea Hedgehog."

The scene quieted down.

Several people are unfamiliar, and four are thieves, one is an official, I really don't know what to talk about.

After a while, the oysters were the first to open their mouths.

"Mr. Wang, I was invited here today because of the promise made by the second son. I don't know what we need to pay to get that promise. To be precise, what do you need us to do."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the others, and saw that they didn't intend to chat, so he said bluntly.

"My son hopes that you can help him severely damage the navy. It would be even better if you can kill the eldest son's son."

The corners of the four of them twitched.

They also want to defeat the Ming Navy, but the question is if the Ming Navy can be easily defeated, will they need to be forced to hide on the island every day and dare not go out.

Meet with others, but also hide and hide, risking hitting the rocks and going out to sea in the middle of the night.

The sea urchin king sighed, reached out to exchange Zhu Zhangui for a cup of hot tea, and said helplessly.

"Mr. Wang, to be honest, the navy of the government is too strong. Let alone our family, even if we are together, it is not enough for the other party to eat."

"That is to say, we have survived until now by being familiar with the terrain. Without the protection of those reef islands, we would have no choice but to flee overseas."

The Conch on the side also nodded.

"This is the imperial navy from before, not to mention now. I heard that they are all equipped with artillery. If they start firing, it's like God is angry."

"The sea hedgehog that was wiped out was directly bombarded by the opponent's artillery fire and fell apart on the spot."

"You want us to defeat this navy. To be honest, you really think highly of us."

To be honest, if these people hadn't been cornered by the Ming Navy, they really didn't want to have contact with people from the imperial court.

Cooperating with people in the imperial court is simply seeking skin from a tiger.

Those people in the imperial court are notoriously dishonest.

If the front foot cooperates with you, the back foot will do more to betray you.

If it weren't for the tempting conditions put forward by the second son, and they were forced by the navy to almost sail away, they would not have participated in today's meeting.
