Bai Xiaowen's remarks did not impress Matsuura Shinkuro.
"Ma Ye, this loser, in order to deal with Yu Dayou, I even spent my energy and dedicated thirty-six months of my life to the artifact! But he can't even deal with Fujian without Yu Dayou. Qi Jiguang has not been mobilized, which has disrupted me. Plan to plunder Zhejiang."
Matsuura Shinkuro said slowly, "You are useless subordinates, and naturally you are also a loser. Go back and tell Maye that if he still wants to retain the honor of the Matsuura family warrior, he can die in battle with honor."
Makita didn't know how to answer for a while.
Bai Xiaowen said: "Master Xin Jiulang wants us to go back and die."
Matsuura Shinkuro sneered: "You are still wasting food while you are still alive."
"Well, since Mr. Xinjiulang is unwilling to rescue, Mr. Maye must have no chance of survival," Bai Xiaowen said leisurely, "We will not go back to die. If Mr. Xinjiulang is not willing to accept it, then we We can only stand on our own. Maybe when we meet next time, we will already have the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Mr. Xin Jiulang."
Matsuura Shinkuro thought very highly of himself. After hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, his face sank slightly.
The deputy Matsuura Sisuke on the side stopped Xinjiurang and whispered something in his ear. Matsuura Xinjiulang's expression changed slightly and he looked at Bai Xiaowen again: "Setting up your own business, you losers are so loud. However, I very much doubt whether you have the corresponding strength. I can agree to temporarily accommodate you. However, in five days, I will attack Ningbo, and then you will also join the army. Let me see what you are capable of."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "I will definitely give Mr. Xin Jiulang a surprise."
After Bai Xiaowen and his party left, Matsuura Shinkuro's sinister expression turned to Matsuura Sisuke: "What's your purpose in persuading me to accept them?"
Wearing a tall hat and waving a paper fan, Matsuura Sisuke looked less like a Japanese pirate than a dog-headed strategist. He smiled and said, "Sir, if what Mingto said is true, then Lord Maye is probably a murderer." It’s too late. The dual-front advance strategy proposed by the family governor, both light and dark, will also fail. In my opinion, it’s better to keep these Ming people and let them take Maye’s place.”
Matsuura Shinkuro snorted: "You think too highly of them. There are thousands of people under Maye. How can they be compared to this little minion with only one or two hundred people."
Matsuura Sishu said: "Maya-sama has only grown to that scale after a long period of development. Fortunately, Maya-sama disguised himself as Akito, so it was easier to win over other Akito pirates to work for him. This person in front of me , he is a wise man himself, wouldn’t he be a good chess piece?”
After a pause, Matsuura Shisuke said: "In the battle in five days, we might as well take a look at the performance of these Akito. If they are qualified, we can properly support this force and continue the two-line strategy of the family governor."
Matsuura Shinkuro snorted, agreeing with Matsuura Shisuke's suggestion.
On this side, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi left the dormitory of Matsuura Shinkuro. Two Japanese slaves came over and led them to designate a place to camp.
The garrison area designated by Matsuura Shinkuro for the two hundred "lost dogs" was very ordinary, with no one to rely on on all sides, and a hundred meters away from the outer circle of the Japanese pirate camp. In this way, the movements of these two hundred soldiers were all in Under the surveillance of Japanese pirates under the command of Matsuura Shinkuro.
"It seems that Xin Jiulang is very worried about us." Li Shuyi said.
"This is normal. If he accepts these two hundred people into his camp, I will wonder if he has other motives," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Actually, it is quite good to do this."
"We're all being watched. We can't move anywhere. What's the good thing?"
"I mean it's good that the garrison is separated. Although these soldiers have been ordered to pretend to be pirates, I can also believe in their loyalty, but their behavior is still different from the real desperadoes under Ye Mazi.
Different ones. If they are mixed together, they will inevitably come into contact with other Japanese pirates, and their feet will inevitably be exposed." Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi nodded, and then said:
"I roughly observed the Japanese pirate camp. The number of elite Japanese pirates in the inner circle is close to a thousand, and the number of Japanese slaves in the outer circle is even thousands. How can we kill Xin Jiulang under the protection of so many Japanese pirates?
Woolen cloth?"
"On this island, killing Xin Jiulang is an impossible task. It is very difficult to kill a boss with stealth skills, not to mention that the other party does not completely trust us." Bai Xiaowen said firmly.
For bosses that can become invisible, the priority of stealth skills is definitely very high, and Bai Xiaowen's mental scan cannot catch it.
At Jinghai University, after entering the first level of the trial space, the leader of the third ship, Greg, is a stealth boss. Bai Xiaowen solved it very easily at that time, mainly because Greg's intelligence was not high, and because of the trial space
Due to the restrictions of the rules, he could not leave the small area at the bow of the ship, so he was caught and easily defeated by Bai Xiaowen's "walking hand in hand" tactic.
Li Shuyi caught the implication of Bai Xiaowen's words: "Do you want to deal with Xin Jiulang outside the island?"
"Yes, this is the only possible route. Before going to the island, I told Makita to ask Xin Jiulang to go to Kinmen to sea under the banner of asking for help for Ye Mazi. This way our chances will be greater.
A lot. But I didn’t expect that Xin Jiulang had such a cold temperament and didn’t care about Ye Mazi’s life or death.”
"Xin Jiulang said that Ningbo will be attacked in five days. What do you think? After five days, we will have left the Jiajing plane world. Is there any way to extend the time in the Jiajing plane world?" Li Shuyi asked
.
"It is basically impossible to extend the stay," Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Only by starting the follow-up main mission can we extend the stay. What we are doing now are side missions. The choice of the main mission has been completed long ago, and there is no possibility of starting the follow-up main mission."
"Then what should we do... By the way, we can let Matsuura Shinkuro attack Ningbo in advance!" Li Shuyi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Matsuura Shinkuro has to wait five days before attacking Ningbo. There should be some preparations that have not been completed. If we participate
If we go in and complete the preparations in advance, won't we be able to advance the date of attacking Ningbo?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and praised: "Yes, it is a good idea."
To discover the benefits of exploring the spiritual world, awakened people often need to create opportunities themselves. Awakened people who do not know how to adapt will grow very slowly.
The spiritual plane is not a solidified computer game. Whatever the NPC says is what it is. Xin Jiulang said that he will attack Ningbo in five days, but if the time is right, it is possible to send troops tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The plan proposed by Li Shuyi is very feasible.
It's high, and when helping to complete the preparation work, you can also dig out some small tasks. Maybe there is not much oil and water, but mosquito legs are also meat.
The fact that Li Shuyi can think of this level means that she is already a mature awakener.
After arranging the soldiers at the garrison, Bai Xiaowen then sent a message through the Japanese pirate Makita, asking if he could contribute in the preliminary preparations for the attack on Ningbo.
Matsuura Shinkuro quickly agreed and issued a task to Bai Xiaowen.
[Mission: Destroy fortifications (Elite)]
[Mission goal: Destroy the Ningbo Prefecture's coastal Zashiling Earthen City and dismantle at least 4 beacon towers along the route. 】
[Task Difficulty: Level A]
[Task period: 72 hours]
[Task reward: unknown]
The mission was to excavate, but there was no relief on Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen's faces.
Because this task...can't be done!
Bai Xiaowen is now disguised as a pirate under Ye Mazi and settled in the territory of the Japanese pirate Xin Jiulang. The "Matsuura Family Samurai Token" itself serves as a token. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen can receive Xin Jiulang's mission.
However, Bai Xiaowen himself joined the anti-Japanese Ming army camp, and this will not change. If he attacks the Ming army's fortifications, his reputation will inevitably collapse.
Even if Bai Xiaowen has risen to a respected reputation and has completed the main mission, there is no need to worry about a decline in reputation, but the soldiers of the Ming army in those two ships are not fools. How could they follow Bai Xiaowen to plunder the territory of the Ming Dynasty? They got "Hu Zongxian"
Orders pretend to be Japanese pirates, but it does not mean that they are real Japanese pirates.
In order not to arouse Matsuura Shinkuro's suspicion, Bai Xiaowen happily accepted this task.
After returning, Li Shuyi was a little frustrated: "I still thought it was too simple. I thought the preparation work was just to raise food and distribute weapons..."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and comforted: "Don't deny yourself, it's good to be able to think independently."
"What should we do now? The mission has been accepted. In order not to arouse Matsuura Shinkuro's suspicion, we have to go to Ningbo... It will probably take two days to go back and forth from here to Ningbo! In other words, because of my
It is suggested that we have to waste at least two days outside before we can return to Penghu Island..."
If they don't attack Ningbo, they still have to go to sea to show off. In order not to arouse suspicion, it is not possible to come back early. If the voyage is less than two days, Xin Jiulang must know that Bai Xiaowen and others did not go to Ningbo to perform the mission.
"Who said it was a waste of time? I just need a reason to go to sea," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Okay, let's get ready and go to sea."
After Bai Xiaowen happily accepted the task, Xin Jiulang's regard for Bai Xiaowen increased a lot. An obvious sign was that he personally sent Bai Xiaowen out to sea, and his words were also quite polite, with a feeling of being arrogant at the beginning but respectful at the end.
However, three days later, Bai Xiaowen returned and brought news that the mission had failed.
Not only did Bai Xiaowen fail to capture Ningbo Zashiling Earthen City, but he also failed to destroy even one beacon tower and failed to complete even the minimum task.
The anger in Xin Jiulang's heart can be imagined. He cursed "trash" and "pig", and even did not allow Bai Xiaowen to continue to be stationed on the main island of Penghu, and wanted to drive him away from his territory.
However, Xin Jiulang quickly changed his mind, retracted his previous words, and allowed Bai Xiaowen's troops to continue to stay on Penghu Island:
"Forget it this time, I will give you another chance to prove yourself. There are still two days before the scheduled date. After I complete the preparations, I will officially attack Ningbo. By then, I hope that the strength you have shown can be regained.
My respect!”
Bai Xiaowen thanked him profusely and showed humility.
After Bai Xiaowen left, Matsuura Shizhu said: "It seems that the strength of these Akito pirates is average, so they lose the value of support."
Matsuura Shinkuro sneered and said: "I didn't agree with these bereaved dogs from the beginning. If they were really powerful, how could they escape and even the leader fell? However, I had a purpose in keeping them. When the general attack comes,
They are the vanguard charging at the front, the cannon fodder that consumes the Ming army’s guns and arrows!”
Matsuura Shisuke gently flapped his fan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. By driving the Akito to fight, we can minimize the losses. However, since these Akito have alerted the enemy, we will have to attack again in two days.
Ningbo Mansion?"
Matsuura Shinkuro said: "No, I already have a new goal. However, I don't need to tell these Akito so clearly, just in case the news is leaked."
"My lord's military strategy is becoming more and more admirable. Now that I have some free time, would you like to have a chat with me?"
Matsuura Shinkuro readily agreed, and the two set up the chess board and started playing.
However, before the game of chess was played, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and a Japanese servant said in panic: "Sir Xin Jiulang, Mr. Si Zhu, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?"
Matsuura Shinkuro, who was very interested in playing chess, glared at the servant unhappily.
"Maeda-kun was killed! And there was a commotion outside the camp..."
Matsuura Shinkuro's face changed slightly, and he stood up in confusion: "Maeda? Who did it?"
The servant shook his head to express his ignorance.
Matsuura Shinkuro hurried over and grabbed his collar: "Where is my sword? Is my sword still there?"
The servant still shook his head. Matsuura Shinkuro left the Japanese pirate servant and rushed out of the dormitory anxiously.
Sisuke Matsuura on the side quickly followed.
When he came to the dormitory where Maeda was killed, Matsuura Shinkuro could only see a dead body in a messy state, but his treasured sword could not be found. He almost burst out of anger.
"Could it be those Akito who did it?" Matsuura Shisuke asked softly.
"Quickly, go to those places where Ming people are stationed to search for the murderer!" Xin Jiulang shouted.
At this time, the noise outside the Japanese camp was getting louder and louder. A group of Japanese servants, led by several elite ronin warriors, hurried over. As soon as they saw Xin Jiulang, they hurriedly shouted: "Sir! Those Ming people came up unexpectedly.
The boat is sailing away!"
"Baga! Are you just going to watch them walk away?" Xin Jiulang slapped them.
The ronin warrior who was slapped did not dare to cover his face, and received the slap straight away, saying: "Sir, the servants in the outer circle also tried to stop these Akito, but in the end, dozens of people died.
Mingren fought his way out, got on the boat and left!"
"Kill my cronies and seize my sword. This is a humiliation to me!" Matsuura Shinkuro gritted his teeth and said, "Chase!"
