To the disappointment of Wang Junlin and Yang Kongchan, Gan Ziqi did not come, but he sent an envoy to Duobao Island by boat early the next morning. Wang Junlin asked the envoy to invite the envoy to his thousand-stone ship.
"Li Congrui, the first adviser of Dagui Island, paid a visit to Duke An of Qin in the Sui Dynasty!" Gan Ziqi's envoy kept his posture very low. After entering the cabin, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Junlin, honoring Wang Junlin's title.
Wang Junlin looked at Li Congrui. He was in his fifties, his chin and beard were dyed white with frost, and he looked like a scholar. However, his face was a little dark, probably because he had been exposed to the sea breeze for a long time, and his small eyes seemed to be squeezed together.
He is really unattractive in appearance. If it were not for the plain blue robe and the high crown on his head, this person would be more like an old fisherman who has been sunbathing at sea for many years.
But Wang Junlin did not despise this person at all, because this person was sent by Gan Ziqi, so he must be his most trusted adviser. Wang Junlin had already found out clearly that he had followed Gan Ziqi to escape from Silla to Dagui Island.
There are also seven or eight ministers of the Silla Kingdom, who are extremely important figures in the pirate force of the Daegui Island Gan clan.
What's more, Gan Ziqi wanted something from Wang Junlin, and the latter made it clear to Gan Ruohai yesterday. If Gan Ziqi hadn't been worried that Wang Junlin would detain him and sell him to the Xinluo Kingdom, he would definitely have come in person.
How could he just randomly send a minor character here?
In addition, the route from the Sui Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Kingdom has never been interrupted. What is the situation in the Central Plains, who is the emperor, what kind of people are there, what major events have happened, not only Goguryeo, Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom
, the rulers of the Japanese country are always paying attention to the relatively large-scale pirate forces in this sea area, and they will also pay attention to the situation of the Sui Dynasty through maritime merchants, not to mention Gan Ziqi, the pirate leader who once served as the prime minister of the Silla Kingdom.
Wang Junlin was not surprised when Li Congrui walked into the cabin and gave such a great gift. After all, with his current status, anyone in the entire Dagui Island except Gan Ziqi could receive the gift.
After Wang Junlin was slightly startled, he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy. Please sit down. We can just talk about the matter directly..."
Although Wang Junlin said this, Li Congrui still respectfully thanked Wang Junlin before sitting down carefully.
"This is an old fox." Wang Junlin kept thinking in his heart. This person's respect for him was naturally fake. He just wanted to despise the other person so that he could benefit from discussing specific matters next.
"
Our island owner is in poor health and cannot withstand the wind and waves, so he sent his son over to fully represent him. First, he apologized to Qin An. Second, he prepared some small gifts for Qin An. Finally, he wanted to make peace with Qin An.
Let’s talk about some things..." Li Congrui is a good actor with superb acting skills. He maintains a respectful look on his face and controls his tone very well.
Wang Junlin knew that the pirates on Dagui Island were very different from most pirates. Although they also robbed and extorted business travelers, they mainly collected protection fees and rarely killed them all.
Secondly, unlike Duobao Island, which is all rugged and mountainous, Dagui Island is larger and has a slightly gentler terrain. After Gan Ziqi occupied Dagui Island, he attached great importance to population. In recent years, he has mainly focused on plundering. There are already people on the island.
It has a population of more than 30,000, and has cultivated a lot of fertile land on the island for farming. It has become self-sufficient to a certain extent, but at bottom it is still a pirate.
But compared to other pirates, Gan Ziqi's reputation among maritime merchants was pretty good. Many merchants even took the initiative to pay them high protection fees, and then sailed in this area under the flag of Daguidao. This made the forces
The pirate forces that were weaker than Da Turtle Island were afraid of Da Turtle Island and did not dare to plunder at all.
Therefore, Wang Junlin is much more kind to Dagui Island than other pirates who do all kinds of evil: "It turns out that Mr. Gan is not feeling well. Maybe I should go to Dagui Island to visit Mr. Gan in person..."
Li Congrui was startled for a moment, and immediately said emotionally: "If our island master hears Qin Angong say this, he will be ecstatic, like a rain of sweet rain..."
"First tell me what Lord Gan Island asked you to say!" Wang Junlin said with a smile, "After listening to this, I will see if it is necessary to go to Big Turtle Island."
"The villain has the guts to ask Qin An directly for advice on what we need from Daguidao to help us kill the current prime minister of Silla Kingdom, Li Jong-il!" Li Congrui said.
"Killing Li Zhongyi is very simple." Wang Junlin said, "The question is, do you, a group of people who were driven out from Silla Country, really want to stay on Dagui Island for the rest of their lives..."
When Li Congrui heard this, his heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate and his expression changed several times.
Before coming, Gan Ziqi convened the senior officials of Daguidao overnight to discuss Wang Junlin's purpose. A considerable number of people believed that Wang Junlin might have falsely agreed to kill Li Zhongyi, but in fact he wanted to plot their Daguidao.
After all, Wang Junlin was just a Sui minister. Although he was said to be very powerful and ferocious in his methods,
The performance after coming to this sea area also proves this point, but compared to the benefits that killing Li Zhongyi and the others can get from the Big Turtle Island, it is naturally better to get the Big Turtle Island.
However, Wang Junlin did not hide anything and directly hinted that he could help them achieve their larger goals or their ideals. This made Li Congrui's prepared words useless for a while. He said with some excitement and disbelief: "Please redeem me."
Let me tell you bluntly, what did Qin Angong mean by what he just said..."
Wang Junlin smiled and said, "That's what you just thought."
After a pause, before Li Congrui could say anything, Wang Junlin said: "So, you can't decide what I want to talk about at all. You go back and tell the owner of Gan Island. If he is really unwell, maybe I will go to Dagui Island in person."
Visit him. Of course, if he can come to Duobao Island in person, I will give this Duobao Island to him."
Li Congrui left the gifts he carried with a shocked look on his face, and then returned to Dagui Island.
…
…
"Your Majesty said so, I'm afraid Gan Ziqi is even more afraid to come." Yang Kongchan was beside her when they were talking just now. As soon as Li Congrui left, she couldn't help but said, "Did your Majesty say that on purpose, or maybe there is something else."
plan?"
Wang Junlin sighed and said: "When this Li Congrui knelt in front of me in fear the moment he got on the boat, I knew that Gan Ziqi would never dare to come to Duobao Island to see me."
Yang Kongchan looked puzzled and said, "Why is this?"
Wang Junlin said: "I originally thought that Gan Ziqi was once the prime minister of the Silla Kingdom, and his demeanor and vision should be different from other pirate leaders. But when I saw Li Congrui kneeling in front of me, I suddenly discovered that Gan Ziqi had become a twelve-year-old
Although he is very different from other pirate leaders, he is still a pirate leader. He has accumulated a lot of bad things over the years. The so-called guilty conscience of being a thief, even if we are not worried that we will detain him and sell him to
He will not come to Silla Kingdom either."
Yang Kongchan thought thoughtfully and said: "Then what should we do now? Isn't it really possible for you to take the risk and go to Turtle Island yourself?"
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he said: "Go, why not go, but I didn't risk going to Dagui Island. I went to Dagui Island because I wanted to let all the pirates on Dagui Island from Gan Ziqi down
Everyone needs to be afraid."
