Just when Tang Jian was trapped in Lan Fang's old nest, the Chinese government was already in chaos. First, Sun Chuanfang reported to Yan Fu that he had not caught up with Tang Jian and had already overturned the sky everywhere in Guangzhou. It was basically certain that Tang Jian had boarded a merchant ship to Luzon.

At this time, due to the Hawaii incident, the relationship between the two countries once dropped below freezing point. Huaxia has always adhered to Tang Jian's consistent code of conduct when dealing with the United States, that is, try to avoid stimulating the United States as early as possible, so as not to insure that if the United States does not restrain its war with China, then that situation will be the least unwilling to see in China.

But China is not afraid of going to war with the United States. It was just that Tang Jian said before going to Hawaii that the war between China and the United States has not yet come!

Although China seized Hawaii, expelled the US military on Hawaii Island, and assisted Queen Liliukalani in rebuilding the Kingdom of Hawaii. With legal means, Hawaii officially became an overseas vassal state of China and received the protection of China.

But this does not mean that China can be unscrupulous in the Pacific Ocean. After all, the US's economic and military strength are there, so China has also begun to avoid stimulating the United States to avoid triggering a war between the two countries.

In order to ease the conflict between the United States, after Hawaii time, the South China Sea Fleet above the South China Sea did not send a large number of ships to cruise near Luzon recently, for fear of arousing a violent reaction from the United States. The South China Sea Fleet generally sent several cruisers or gunboats to escort the merchant ships of the South China Sea merchant fleet on the trade channel of the South China Sea, and also helped other civilian merchant ships and foreign merchant fleets. They would clean up the pirates in the South China Sea when they saw them.

This time, Yan Fu did not care about this code of conduct for Tang Jian's personal safety. When he ordered Sun Chuanfang to go south to chase Tang Jian, he also issued an order to Sa Zhenbing, the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Fleet. Once Sun Chuanfang's action failed, he would immediately dispatch the South China Sea Fleet to block the South China Sea waterway. It is necessary to intercept the merchant ship that Tang Jian was riding before Tang Jian arrived in Luzon and send Tang Jian back to China in time.

However, the news sent back by Sa Zhenbing made Yan Fu feel a little restless, because after the South China Sea Fleet was launched, they searched all the way. On the way, they encountered merchant ships and went forward to check. It took a long time to go. However, just when the South China Sea Fleet was about to reach the waters near Luzon, they encountered the U.S. Far East Fleet in Luzon by chance. Although the U.S. Far East Fleet had only one old-fashioned Monarch-class battleship and only two first-class protective cruisers.

However, Sa Zhenbing strictly abides by the order that Yan Fu cannot have any conflict with the US Far East Fleet. Even if the current South China Sea Fleet wants to wipe out this small Far East Fleet from the United States, Sa Zhenbing chose to restrain himself and temporarily retreat after being solemnly warned by the US Far East Fleet, and did not have any substantial conflict with it.

Therefore, this time, Sa Zhenbing also returned empty-handedly, and still no trace of Tang Jian was found.

In fact, just when Sa Zhenbing led the South China Sea Fleet and the US Far East Fleet confronted the waters near Luzon, the Chunlan merchant ship where Tang Jian was located was intercepted by the pirate organization Lan Fangman, just the moment before, and Tang Jian himself became a prisoner of Lan Fangman.

Not long after Lan Fangman retreated, the South China Sea Fleet met the US Far East Fleet unexpectedly. Of course, all this was what Tang Jian only found out in the future.

Therefore, the South China Sea Fleet eventually passed by Tang Jian.

After Yan Fu learned that the South China Sea Fleet had not caught up with Tang Jian, he immediately contacted the CIA intelligence officers in Luzon, hoping that the CIA personnel in Luzon could get contact with Tang Jian as soon as possible.

In fact, after arriving in Luzon, Tang Jian would contact the local CIA intelligence personnel as soon as possible to get familiar with the specific situation in Luzon as soon as possible. After all, Tang Jian alone could not investigate the entire Luzon. As early as four years ago, Tang Jian arranged for the CIA intelligence personnel to infiltrate Luzon, and this moment finally came in handy.

However, the news responded by the CIA intelligence personnel of the Luzon CIA caused Yan Fu to fall to the ice valley all at once. The CIA did not have any contact with Tang Jian at all, which means that Tang Jian did not arrive in Luzon at all.

The news from the same place also said that not long ago, a trading company in Luzon discovered that a merchant ship that was supposed to have arrived in Luzon three days ago did not arrive on schedule. The merchant ship was named the **lan, and according to other channels, the Chunlan was hijacked by a strongest pirate gang in the South China Sea.

There was no one in Guangzhou, and Tang Jian was not intercepted at sea. The CIA in Luzon did not obtain any contact with Tang Jian. In addition, a merchant ship from Guangzhou to Luzon was hijacked by South China Sea pirates and disappeared on the South China Sea. It is not difficult to guess the meaning behind it.

It is very likely that Tang Jian got on this merchant ship named **lan, and by chance, he was hijacked by pirates in the South China Sea.

Four days later, a letter from pirates asking for ransom was sent to Guangzhou. On the letter from pirates asking for ransom, there were two names, Tang Tian and Chen Chusheng. Tang Tian was the pseudonym for Tang Jian to go to Luzon this time.

If Yan Fu's previous thoughts were only guessed based on the connection between various events, then this letter asking for ransom completely proves Yan Fu's guess.

When Yan Fu thought of this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately ordered Sa Zhenbing, the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Fleet, to immediately search for Tang Jian's traces in the vast South China Sea islands in the name of "encircling and suppressing pirates".

However, this move was misunderstood by the US Far East Fleet as China was tempting Luzon. Therefore, a discussion was launched in the United States again on whether to deal with China's troops, because American politicians speculated from the frequent mobilization of the South China Sea Fleet that after China seized Hawaii, it was ready to attack Luzon, which was closer to China.

This time, the United States no longer tolerate it, and it had already swallowed its anger last time. Although Taft has mediocre qualifications and is not suitable for being president, this time, both the ** Party and the Republican Party have always been external to the outside world. It is recommended that we fight back against China's provocations.

Although Roosevelt had stepped down, with Roosevelt's efforts, the calls for counterattack in the United States became increasingly louder. Taft had no choice but to inform the US military in Luzon that once it was discovered that China sent troops to provoke, it must fight back. It is absolutely impossible to let China's conspiracy succeed.

In addition, the United States also assembled a fleet on the East Coast, ready to support Luzon at any time.

The situation in the South China Sea is about to break out!

If Du Sanniang knew at this time, she had just robbed an ordinary merchant ship, but unexpectedly it caused the escalation of conflicts between the Eastern and Western powers, and a large-scale naval battle was about to break out.

Although Yan Fu knew the United States' determination, he still ordered the South China Sea Fleet to continue looking for Tang Jian on the South China Sea. However, the premise was that once it encountered the United States Far East Fleet, it would automatically evacuate, and it would still not have any direct conflict with the United States Far East Fleet.

In this way, half a month has passed since Tang Jian disappeared.

Time went back half a month ago, Lan Fangman's meeting hall.

At least three or four knives were placed on Tang Jian's neck. Du Sanniang was high and asked proudly: "Say or not? Who are you?"

It felt uncomfortable to be put on the neck with several knives at the same time. Besides, Tang Jian's hands and feet were tied up, so he was really powerless to fight back. As the saying goes, a hero does not suffer any loss in front of him. Tang Jian was tough for a while, and finally said "scared": "My name is Tang Tian, ​​the son of a wealthy businessman in Hubei. This time I went to Luzon, mainly because I like to play, so I took my entourage to Luzon to play."

"Haha, you don't find a better person to tell lies. Such a crappy lie can be said. A rich businessman has such good skills?" Du Sanniang didn't believe it at all.

"Oh, tell me this, let me tell you the truth. When I was born, I didn't know which wild monk said that I was Wu Quxing and would definitely be able to pass the martial arts exam in the future. By the way, I am also a very skilled person. How could I become a rich businessman if I am not skilled? But he just listened to the wild monk and thought that I would definitely pass the martial arts exam when I grew up, so he took me everywhere to learn skills since I was a child. But he didn't expect that the arts were learned, but the Qing Dynasty was not a good person? The martial arts exam could not be taken, so he could only inherit his father's business and continue to do business. This time I went to Luzon, and I actually went to see the market while I was playing." Tang Jian closed his eyes and made up a bunch of lies. Anyway, bragging is not money, let alone bragging, he is demoting his own identity.

"Really?" Du Sanniang began to believe it a little.

Alas, this is a woman. She usually believes in lies that are more like the truth.

Tang Jian showed a look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and raised his chest and said, "It's up to you whether it's okay! Anyway, you can still get a large amount of ransom if you keep me. If you kill me, you will have nothing left? When you write a letter asking for the ransom, add my name Tang Tian directly, and you will definitely get a large amount of money."

Du Sanniang held her cheeks and began to think about it. In fact, what Tang Jian said was just seventy-sixth of her faith.

Du Sanniang thought that Tang Tian was still very wary now, so he might as well leave him for a few days first. Anyway, he couldn't escape from this isolated island. However, in fact, Du Sanniang was indeed very short of money at this time. The entire Lan Fangman was about to lose food due to the attack of the South China Sea Fleet. If it weren't for the lack of money, I'm afraid the thousands of women and children on the island would be hungry.

After thinking about it, Du Sanniang nodded slightly: "Press it down first! Re-trial next time!"

Tang Jian glanced at Du Sanniang, a smile appeared on his face, but he sneered in his heart. Retrial? Haha, see what you can find!
Chapter completed!
