Cheng Mu's words immediately made Zheng Chenggong a little confused.
The emperor of the Apocalypse Empire sounds too loud, right?
"It means very simply."
Cheng Mu's tone was filled with incomparable confidence: "Under my Apocalypse Empire, even if a general is in charge of one side, his power is not weaker than that of the leader of a country!"
Just like the current governor of Qingzhou Province, Guan Zhong, and the governor of Shenzhou Province, Zhuge Liang.
If calculated based on their status and the territory they control, then their power is really not weaker than that of the master of a country!
"This...how is this possible!"
Zheng Chenggong couldn't believe it.
Comparable to the emperor's power? Doesn't that mean that this general of the Apocalypse Empire is on an equal footing with the emperor?
Moreover, this Apocalypse Empire cannot be so powerful, right?
Although Zheng Chenggong didn't know much about Cheng Mu's Apocalypse Empire, in his heart, the Apocalypse Empire should be inferior to the Ming Empire!
"Whether it's possible or not, you'll know if you wait and see."
Cheng Mu knew his distrust.
But every time, he convinced everyone with his absolute strength advantage and factual basis!
"Hmph! It's useless to talk more!"
Zheng Chenggong was not completely convinced. Naturally, he wanted to be tougher!
"I won't kill you!"
Cheng Mu shook his head. He also showed his thoughts without concealment: "In that case, you can be a hostage here!"
"When the time comes, let your father and son reunite!"
Considering Zheng Chenggong's huge contribution to history, Cheng Mu wouldn't mind raising him for a few more days.
After Zheng Zhilong is captured and brought back, the father and son will be together. If Zheng Chenggong still refuses to surrender at that time, it will not be too late to kill him!
People are already here anyway, a cooked duck can’t fly away!
"You...what do you mean?"
However, Cheng Mu's last words stirred up some waves in Zheng Chenggong's heart.
He originally thought that his father was killed in battle.
"Of course it means literally."
At this time, Guo Jia said: "If you are willing to submit, you may be able to save your father's life!"
He could see that his master liked Zheng Chenggong very much.
Therefore, he decided to stop asking for surrender.
"What? My father is not dead?!"
For a moment, Zheng Chenggong was excited!
This is completely the dawn of hope in a desperate situation!
He originally thought that his father Zheng Zhilong had been killed in battle. As a son, he failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect his father.
Naturally, he felt guilty.
Later, when he found that he had no hope of revenge.
All he wanted at that time was to be buried! If he couldn't avenge his father, what was the point of living?
But now, Guo Jia's words gave him hope.
"Your father's body was not found."
Guo Jia did not give Zheng Chenggong a definite answer. But no body was found, which means that Zheng Zhilong is likely to survive.
After all, he is a strong person in the realm of ghosts and gods.
Even the weak Zheng Yisao could survive, so Guo Jia had reason to believe that Zheng Zhilong was not dead.
Even, it will be more powerful than before!
"Haha! Good! Haha! Good!"
Guo Jia's words made Zheng Chenggong completely excited.
So at this moment, he didn't want to die.
Since his father is still alive, there is no point in being buried!
"So, have you changed your mind?"
Seeing the beaming Zheng Chenggong, Guo Jia asked again expectantly.
He knew that if he could successfully recruit Zheng Chenggong, he might be able to take Zheng Zhilong under his command!
A famous pirate under the Chinese civilization.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Yisao.
As long as they all join the Apocalypse Empire, it means that the Apocalypse Empire's warships can sail to the doorstep of any empire!
Simply invincible!
This is also the reason why Cheng Mu has always wanted to recruit Zheng Chenggong.
"Since my father is here, I will definitely not be able to join your country."
However, Zheng Chenggong still shook his head and refused. But his attitude at this moment was much better than before.
It seems that he has regained his senses!
"It's okay. Then we can stay in our country as a guest for a few more days before we talk about it."
Guo Jia did not force or threaten him.
Still the same sentence.
Now that Zheng Chenggong is here, there is no possibility of going back. Whenever he changes his mind and submits, he will be free.
For Cheng Mu and the Apocalypse Empire, everything couldn't be simpler.
If that doesn't work, then tie Zheng Chenggong over again and threaten Zheng Zhilong face to face!
"OK!"
Zheng Chenggong did not refuse.
Now that he doesn't want to die, he naturally knows that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
As a prisoner, he still has the consciousness of being a prisoner.
He is now thinking about when his father will come to rescue him. Or, find an opportunity to escape from prison!
"hehe."
Looking at Zheng Chenggong being escorted down, Cheng Mu suddenly chuckled and shook his head.
From the current point of view, this Zheng Chenggong is still very interesting.
It's not stuffy at all, he likes it very much.
"Your Majesty, this is a tough bone!"
Although Zheng Chenggong didn't act so unruly at the moment, but based on his perception of the conversation just now, he knew that Zheng Chenggong was not someone who would surrender easily.
"Unless there is an order from his father Zheng Zhilong!"
This was the fastest way he could think of to recruit and surrender Zheng Chenggong.
"That's natural."
Cheng Mu nodded and said, "Send an order to Zhang Shun and ask him to send spies to Zheng Zhilong's home to have a look."
"If there is a chance, take the opportunity to destroy it!"
Anyway, Zheng Zhilong is going to be destroyed, and Zheng Chenggong is going to surrender. So it doesn't matter if he does it earlier or later.
And now that Zheng Chenggong has this relationship, he doesn't mind giving Zheng Zhilong a chance to surrender!
Otherwise, Zheng Xiao from the Goddess Kingdom would probably be very interested in Zheng Zhilong!
"As you command!"
Guo Jia took the order.
In fact, he agreed. Instead of wasting energy and strength on wars in the Song Empire or the Ming Empire, it would be better to deal with Zheng Zhilong first.
Controlling the sea means controlling everything.
In the past, defeated generals, subjugated kings, etc., had the opportunity to escape overseas.
But now, once Cheng Mu controls the entire sea area, there will be no hiding place for his enemies in the world!
"Right."
Now that he said this, Cheng Mu suddenly thought: "What is the current situation of Zilong and others?"
Zhang Wanlong, Zhao Yun and others have been following Li Cunxiao's upgrade method for more than half a month.
He reported: "Because Zilong was too brave, all the sea beasts around the Goddess Kingdom fled."
The sea beast is not a fool.
They were killed once by Li Cunxiao, and now they were killed again by Zhao Yun, Zhang Wanlong and others. Naturally, they fled far away in order to survive.
"Is there still such a situation?"
Cheng Mu was shocked when he heard this.
He originally thought that most sea beasts were without intelligence. But judging from the current news, this is not the case!
"Yeah, but Zilong and General Zhang also gained something."
Guo Jia once again reported the good news.
In general, they had killed a lot of sea beasts before. The massive amount of experience points had improved their strength a lot.
It’s just that he didn’t overcome the tribulation with thunder like Li Cunxiao!
"In that case, let them come back!"
Cheng Mu felt that procrastinating any longer would only be a waste of time.
He will soon use his troops against Zheng Zhilong. Call them back first, take a rest and calm down!
...
Red Ghost Island.
This place is thousands of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Goddess.
The pirate leader who lives here is nicknamed Red Ghost, which is also the origin of the name of Red Ghost Island.
Under the leadership of Chi Gui, Chi Gui Island has been prospering and its reputation has spread far and wide. Although this island is not big, it already has a population of hundreds of thousands.
But today, the originally calm Chigui Island has turned into a lonely boat in the waves.
In order to upgrade, Zhao Yun came here chasing sea beasts.
Suddenly, the situation in the sky and the earth changed color, and the waves were turbulent!
"Beast! Die!"
Realizing that this sea beast with the strength to control the border was exhausted, Zhao Yun immediately found an opportunity!
Bang!
With Wushuang's blow, the sea beast's back was directly stabbed with a hole by the gentian spear.
"roar!"
The intense pain made the sea beast roll over uncontrollably. Its huge tail lashed towards Zhao Yun like a mountain.
The huge waves caused by the tail are hundreds of meters high!
"Run! Run!"
"By God of Poseidon, please spare our lives!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
.....
In an instant, the entire Red Ghost Island was trembling under the huge waves.
As the leader, Chi Gui's face was even more pale at this moment!
Once a huge wave hundreds of meters high capsizes, everyone on the island will die!
"Your Majesty! Help!"
"Your Majesty! Save us!"
There are already pirates crying and kneeling for help.
For now, Red Ghost is their only hope.
"I...I..."
Chi Gui said that he was also panicked. Although he had top-level strength, he had nothing to do in the face of the huge waves!
Should he turn around and run away, or should he live or die? Or should he rush forward and fight to the death to win a glimmer of life for the island residents?
He still has doubts.
But just now.
"Boom!"
A figure stood directly in front of the huge wave. One person and one shot forced the huge wave back!
It's Zhao Yun.
The sea beast's tail did not hurt him at all.
On the contrary, Zhao Yun turned around at this moment to protect these innocent people.
"It's the adults who are here. It's the adults from the country who are here!"
Seeing Zhao Yun repelling the huge wave with one shot, the red ghost below was very excited.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of thousands of residents on the entire island fell to their knees in unison, thanking Zhao Yun for his life-saving grace.
But at this time, Zhao Yun had no time to deal with them.
After blocking the huge wave, he suddenly hit the sea beast's head like a cannonball.
This time.
The gentian gun penetrated directly through the sea beast's head.
Zhao Yun's whole body flew down from the top and flew out from the sea beast's jaw in an instant.
One hit to kill!
Immediately, a warm power enveloped his whole body. After killing this national-level sea beast, Zhao Yun's strength increased again.
He finally took a step into the realm of ghosts and gods.
After everything returned to calm, only then did he have the time to deal with the people on Red Ghost Island.
"Do you know this general?"
Zhao Yun was a little confused. He remembered that the power of his Apocalypse Empire hadn't expanded here yet, right?
"Knowing, knowing, naturally knowing."
Chi Gui kept nodding: "How can we not know the general of the Shangguo?"
"We have to thank you, General, for helping us kill this sea beast!"
Although this was his first time meeting Zhao Yun, with such a powerful person, he naturally thought of the general of Shangguo!
"Um."
Zhao Yun nodded and flew down: "In that case, I will use your place to rest."
He had just become a half-step ghost god, so he needed to calm down, experience it, and polish his strength.
"What an honor! What an honor!"
The red ghost smiled even brighter.
"It is our blessing that the general can rest on our Chigui Island."
"It just so happens that there is fine wine from the upper country on the island!"
"Also, the beautiful Chinese girl we just captured!"
