"Crackling..."

At this moment, everyone's movements stopped, and no one said anything. On the huge sea, there were only flames burning, and the sea breeze blew the sails, and the sound of the flag kept ringing.

A tall and handsome young man, wearing armor and cloak on his back, walked slowly to the bow of the boat, looking at Liu Xiang on the navy's flagship from afar, with a very complicated expression.

Zheng Zhilong was in a complicated mood, but Liu Xiang was in a complicated mood. The action of intercepting and slandering the imperial envoy of the court and placing Zheng Zhilong was ultimately in vain. The worst scene suddenly appeared, which made him sigh extremely regretful.

As the boss of Shibazhi, Zheng Zhilong was the first to break the silence. He said loudly: "Brother Liu Xiang, I didn't expect that we would meet on such occasions. But I couldn't figure it out. We were finally sworn brothers of the eight-worship friends. How can you bear it? You have to put me injustice?"

Liu Xiang looked up at Zheng Zhilong, and his eyes inadvertently showed a hint of jealousy. He thought that when Liu Xiang was acting like a mighty man on the coast of Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong was just a small translation behind the butt of the Westerners. But in just a few years, Zheng Zhilong became a prosperous and became the most famous pirate in China's maritime state. Even Westerners had to give him some face.

Liu Xiang whispered: "Brother, I don't want to do this either, but I know that you have always had the ambition to surrender to the court, but you have never accepted it because the court is not sincere enough.

But this time it is different. In order to pacify you, the court specially sent a big figure in the inner court as an imperial envoy, and the superb master of the dynasty who traveled across the ocean to Beigang to negotiate with you, which shows that this time, the court was full of sincerity."

Zheng Zhilong said angrily: "Since the court is full of sincerity, why didn't brother Liu Xiang join the court with me to share the glory and wealth, but instead took the risk to intercept and kill the imperial envoy and blame me. Is this how you are brother?"

Liu Xiang said excitedly: "Brother Yiguan, I don't want you to go to the court to commit suicide and frame you for intentional interception and killing the imperial envoy. You are the boss of our 18zhi. All our forces are not as good as you. Once you join the court and encircle us with the government, who can we fight against each other?

Besides, we robbed merchant ships in the South China Sea and the southeast coast to do a big deal. We have all kinds of money and beauties. Even foreigners have to look at our faces. Why should we whisper and lick the emperor's ass?”

Liu Xiang really didn't understand why Zheng Zhilong always cared about the court. What is the good thing about the court? It is worth Zheng Zhilong giving up the happy life of the local emperor and becoming a frustrated and tolerant minister. Isn't this a shame?

As soon as Liu Xiang said this, not only did his pirates agree, but even the pirates under Zheng Zhilong's account could not help but mutter in his heart: Yes, we are doing business without capital, and we are so happy and free and easy. Isn't it much happier than being a military officer who is looked down upon? Why do you have to use your hot face to post the cold butts of the civil servants?

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice, "Brother Liu Xiang, I led my brothers to the court not just for myself, but for the sake of my brothers. That's right, being a pirate is free and happy, but people will grow old. Do you still want your brothers to carry a knife and chop people when they are old and eighty? Can they still carry a knife?"

Liu Xiang snorted and said, "Zheng Yiguan, you are a witch, you are a witch. The reason why brothers follow you is because you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food with you. But if you surrender to the court, the 108 generals of Liangshan will be the end of the brothers.

The Zhu Ming court and the Zhao Song court are all the same as each other. They regard military officers as thieves as thieves. If we follow you to the court, we will still treat civil servants as military thieves!"

Zheng Zhilong said: "Brother Liu Xiang, don't think about yourself, but also about your descendants. If you insist on opposing the court, then your descendants will be thieves from generation to generation and will never live a stable life.

If you surrender to the court, even if your status is not as low as that of a civil servant, you must be smaller than that of a civil servant, but your descendants are qualified to be the imperial examination. How could you know that your descendants will not have a seed of study, so as to lead the family on the road of gentry!”

Zheng Zhilong's words are still very inflammatory. After all, the Chinese have always put family inheritance first and regard future generations as the continuation of their lives. Zheng Zhilong brings out the future of his descendants. Even if he can't convince Liu Xiang, it is enough to convince most pirates.

Liu Xiang was not Zheng Zhilong's opponent in terms of eloquence, and he couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Hmph! The different ways of saying it are not to plan. Since you have to surrender to the court to gain wealth and glory, I have nothing to say, but my brothers can't stand the court's composure. From then on, you walk on your Yangguan Road and I walk on my single-plank bridge, and we brothers will break it in one stroke!"

Zheng Zhilong felt a little sad. He is only twenty-four years old now and is still quite loyal to his love and love. He still regrets the loss of Liu Xiang, the brother.

Zheng Zhihu advised, "Brother Liu Xiang, don't have to do this. If you have any questions, you can sit down and talk. Why bother to the point where you can't even do the brothers?"

Liu Xiang said in a tough voice: "Zheng Zhilong, if you still think that Liu Xiang is a brother, let me kill these three officials. As long as you dare to accept it, both officials and thieves will follow you."

Zheng Zhihu felt aroused when he heard this, and made a cutting gesture to Zheng Zhilong, whispering: "Brother, why don't you agree to Brother Liu Xiang? Just killing only three officials can save Brother Liu Xiang. This deal is worth doing."

Zheng Zhilong was furious and scolded: "Liu Xiang, I treat you as my brother, but you treat me as a stick. As long as the imperial envoy dies here, whether I kill you or not, will the court let me go?

I warn you, Liu Xiang, if the imperial envoy has any winter melon and tofu here, I will ask you to bury them with them and destroy you all!"

Liu Xiang said furiously: "Good you Zheng Yiguan, you finally revealed your true face of false benevolence and righteousness! I have known for a long time that you have never regarded us as brothers. All you have to do is to annex us and strengthen ourselves.

Since we have said everything clearly, Zheng Yiguan, we will be cut off from now on. On the day of goodbye, it is the enemy but not the friend! Brothers, let's go!"

Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "You can leave the three lords!"

"Hmph!" Liu Xiang snorted coldly, and became angry and glared at Zhang Chaozhong and the other two fiercely, then turned around and left.

Liu Wu looked at Zheng Zhilong, then Zhang Chaozhong and the other two, and pedaled the deck with hatred. He followed Liu Xiang angrily. The pirates did not understand their intentions, and it was not right to leave for a while, nor was it right to stay.

Liu Xiang turned around and said furiously: "Why are you still standing there? Wait until Zheng Yiguan keeps you for dinner!"

After being scolded by Liu Xiang, the pirates who realized it later followed Liu Xiang's butt and left one after another.
