The captain of the boat said doubtfully: "Longtou, what do you say?"

Zheng Zhilong said: "They noticed you were following you when they left. How could they reveal their direction when they came back? So they turned to the normal channel halfway to confuse us!"

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he made circles with his fingers on the chart and said: "Their ships are all empty and they run very fast! It seems that their home base is far away from the Japanese country."

The captain said: "There are many factors such as wind speed and wind direction, so the estimated distance can only be a rough distance. But it is far beyond the scope of our chart. We want to find them.

It’s hard!”

Zheng Zhilong nodded with satisfaction and said: "It is difficult! But once we find this island, we will have a way out! Judging from the number of people in the Red Eye Dragon King's fleet, it means that there is one overseas that we don't know about at all, and it can at least accommodate it.

A large island with tens of thousands of people! This is rare! This also explains why he wanted to seize the island close to the route. Because their ship was too far away from the route, making it inconvenient to travel."

The captain nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! I think so too!"

Zheng Zhilong thought for a long time and said: "Okay, I understand! Thank you for your hard work, go down and get the money!"

After the leader of the boat left, Zheng Zhilong went directly to Butler Li's room. After seeing Butler Li, he said, "Uncle Li, their boat is back. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow them to their home base, so I can only estimate a rough range."

Butler Li said: "If you could find the trace of the Red-Eyed Dragon King so easily, wouldn't it be defeated by you long ago? So I said at that time not to send people to follow him, lest he could not find the trace and be laughed at."

Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth secretly after hearing this and said, "Uncle Li, is there any explanation from Mr. Li?"

Butler Li said: "I asked the master, and he said that this battle cannot be dragged on any longer. If you drag it on any longer, you will be in danger! No one dares to come forward if he is alive. If he dies, you will be unable to stabilize the situation.

It’s very troublesome! Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you lose some face. The main thing is to reach a truce as soon as possible. When you secure your position in the future, you can naturally find a way to deal with the Red-Eyed Dragon King! In addition, the master also said that as a leader, fairness is very important.

But strength is more important! If you can't defeat the enemy quickly, you can't do it easily! This time is a lesson!"

Zheng Zhilong nodded depressedly and said, "I understand! Is Mr. Li still in good health?"

Butler Li sighed deeply and said: "It's just acceptable. So don't delay any more. Let's reach an agreement with the Red-Eyed Dragon King as soon as possible!"

Zheng Zhilong said helplessly: "I understand, I will give in!"

Butler Li nodded and said, "That's good!

I’ll send someone to contact the messenger, and you can talk again. The sooner the better!”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and said, "Steward Li, is Zheng Longtou here?"

Butler Li said: "Come in and talk."

Immediately, a big man with an angry face came in from the door. This man was known to Zheng Zhilong. He was a very capable captain under him. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Steward Li, Dragon Head, something happened at sea again!"

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Butler Li and said, "What happened?"

The man said: "The news just came that the Blue Shark's island was attacked by the Red-Eyed Dragon King! Except for a small number of people who escaped, the rest, including the Blue Shark, are all trapped on the island and do not know whether they are alive or dead!"

Zheng Zhilong's heart bleeds after hearing the news! He knows that Da Qing Shar is dead this time! Liu Pei will not let him go! Da Qing Shar is one of the forces that he started to win over very early and is very loyal to him

.His death was a big blow to Zheng Zhilong! As the leader, he couldn't even protect his subordinates. How did he manage to take the position of leader?

This attack on the Blue Shark was planned by Liu Pei. To put it bluntly, it was to use fighting to promote peace! Tell Zheng Zhilong that I, the Red Eye Dragon King, still have the strength to start a war, and we can keep fighting! At the same time, it is also a warning to Zheng Zhilong’s alliance!

If you continue to follow Zheng Zhilong, Big Blue Shark will be your role model! As for the location of Big Blue Shark's lair, it is naturally the information collected by Liu Jiang.

Butler Li, who heard the news from the side, sighed and said: "This is a real demonstration by the Red Eyed Dragon King! But he has the capital to demonstrate! First officer, just do what we discussed just now! Don't delay it any longer!"

Zheng Zhilong nodded and left with a blushing face. Butler Li looked at Zheng Zhilong's back and shook his head, saying to himself: "Master, I don't know if the decision you made is right?"

Liu Dahai, who had done some acting, was now waiting for the person who invited him to come. He felt that Zheng Zhilong's attention should be attracted to the sea at this moment. Although he didn't know why Liu Pei was so confident in his judgment, this did not hinder

He resolutely implemented Liu Pei's plan.

Sure enough, Butler Li sent someone to his door in the afternoon and invited him to have morning tea at Hongyan Tower tomorrow morning. Liu Dahai naturally knew that this was a hint of negotiation, so he readily agreed.

Early the next morning, Liu Dahai brought people to Hongyan Tower. Unlike last time, this time Zheng Zhilong and Butler Li arrived first. Liu Dahai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Steward Li, Zheng Longtou, please forgive me.

Come down a little late!"

Butler Li said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we have just arrived. Come and try the snacks, they are very good."

After Liu Dahai sat down, he picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth. He found that the dim sum at Hongyanlou was really good! So he drank tea, ate the dim sum, and told Butler Li

Start gossiping.

After finishing the gossip, Butler Li said: "You sent people home, but did you get any news back?"

Of course, Liu Dahai knew that his every move must be under surveillance. After all, this is Nagasaki and Li Dan's territory. So Liu Dahai didn't worry and said directly: "The boss did have something to say. But I'm afraid that the news

The dragon head doesn’t like to hear it!”

Butler Li said: "Things always have to be discussed. As the saying goes, ask for a high price and pay the money on the spot. Only when you say it do we know whether we can accept it, right?"

Liu Dahai pretended to hesitate and said: "Okay, let me tell you straight away! Our boss said that as long as Zheng Longtou returns the island that we have seized to us, this matter can be dropped! If he gets dirty again in the future, everyone will

Just rely on means!"

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong got into trouble again. The two started arguing non-stop again.

In fact, Liu Pei does not necessarily need Xindao. But he needs to confuse Zheng Zhilong and make him feel that his home base is in the distant sea. At the same time, he also needs to give Zheng Zhilong a target that he can keep an eye on. And Xindao is

suitable.

As long as Zheng Zhilong keeps an eye on the new island and the open sea, he will not have any spare energy to search the land. Liu Pei can take the opportunity to reserve his own strength and divide Zheng Zhilong's men. Therefore, Liu Pei will not give in at this point.

of.

The most important point is that he did this to tell all the merchants and pirates that he, the Red Eyed Dragon King, had competed with Zheng Longtou, and Zheng Zhilong did not take any advantage at all! Even if he occupied a bare new island, in the end

He vomited it back obediently. This was the real blow to Zheng Zhilong!

Those who covet the leading position will carefully evaluate the strength of Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong through this incident. If Liu Pei does not express his intention to challenge the leading position, they will definitely point the finger at Zheng Zhilong. After Li Dan dies, and

I’m afraid Liu Xiang is not the only one who is against Zheng Zhilong!

The two parties had been arguing for a long time during this negotiation. After many mediations by Butler Li, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Dahai finally reached an agreement. Zheng Zhilong returned the new island to Liu Pei. Liu Pei sold it to Zheng Zhilong for 10,000 taels of silver.

The price of the Tiger Cannon used on the door ship can be said to be very low. So at this point, the two parties have completely reached an agreement. However, the dead Big Blue Shark was not mentioned by both parties in a tacit understanding.

After reaching an agreement, Liu Dahai was naturally overjoyed and sent someone back to report the news. But Zheng Zhilong, who watched Liu Dahai leave, did not show any anger. He only had a touch of indifference on his face, which made his handsome face even more handsome!
