Lin Jue nodded and said: "You are right, this is just the beginning. During this period, they will definitely drag you to discuss the surrender of the Guishan Island village. This matter is what they care about most, and you are the one who cares about this matter.
You can neither compromise too quickly nor not compromise. In short, you must grasp a certain degree and focus on delay. Negotiate slowly and delay time."
Gao Muqing said: "I understand. But what I'm most worried about is that they gave them fifteen days. Can you guarantee that within fifteen days, this year's hurricane will come? If the hurricane doesn't come, Ning Haijun will not attack. When the time comes,
, Hai Dongqing is going to kill you. Then I won’t be able to delay it any longer, so what should I do?"
Lin Jue frowned and thought for a while and said: "I did some research when I came here. Judging from the hurricane records recorded by Hangzhou Prefecture in the past 20 to 30 years, the hurricanes in Hangzhou all arrived for the first time in early June. Haidong Qing
We were given fifteen days, which happened to be around early June. If there were no big changes, God would have blown the hurricane on time. However, the weather was unpredictable, and no one could say anything about God. It came early.
That’s all, if it comes too late, it will be a big trouble.”
"Yeah, I'm just saying, how can God be sure of things?" Gao Muqing frowned and said.
Lin Jue laughed softly and said: "We can only leave this matter to fate, and there is no need to worry unfounded. Instead, we need to make preparations. Our mission is very tight in the past ten days. We must find out the bandit garrison on the island.
situation, the distribution of fortifications, and the distribution of places to land on the island. We must also prepare for the worst and find a way to escape. Once things change, we can at least escape with our lives. Under their close surveillance,
It is not easy to do these things well. But now that we have reached this point, we must try our best."
Gao Muqing nodded and said: "Yes, try your best and don't let up. Whatever you say, I will do it."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay. It's time for you to go out now. After that, they will definitely instigate and seduce our men. You can't stay with me for too long or talk too much, lest something unexpected happens. The plan won't work."
You can’t tell everyone at the last moment, just be careful in everything.”
Gao Muqing nodded, turned around and walked out. Lin Jue whispered: "Mu Qing!"
Gao Muqing turned around and said, "What?"
Lin Jue said softly: "Thank you very much. If we can get out of trouble and Mr. Yan keeps his word, you can leave the village. Then I will take you to visit the West Lake, go to the theater, and eat delicious food. You used to
I’ll make up for you what you haven’t experienced before.”
Gao Muqing smiled sweetly and said, "You must keep your word." After saying that, he walked out quickly.
…
In the Juyi Hall, the leaders have dispersed. The hall illuminated by the flames of the oil pot is empty, but it is not empty. Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing are sitting at the end of several rows of empty seats, stretching out their arms.
Talking quietly on the neck.
"Island Master, do you feel that something is not right about this tall village leader? Brother, I feel that she and Lin Jue are both a little weird, and there seems to be something wrong."
"Brother, you are just easy to be suspicious. But your caution is not a bad thing. Many things have proved that your caution is correct. But in this matter, you don't have to worry so much. They are under our control now.
, what’s there to worry about? If anything goes wrong, we’ll kill them all, because they can’t do anything in our territory.”
"What the island owner said is true, and brothers don't want to create any problems. Regarding major events, although Guishan Island's military strength is not large, it is the force we need most. Their position and strength are exactly what we need.
The great help. If we want to counterattack inland and gain a foothold in Hangzhou, we will definitely need the strong assistance of the Guishan Island cottage. Therefore, from the overall situation, it is best for everything to go smoothly and not make any mistakes."
"That's natural. If not for that, do you think I would be so polite to her today? I wish I could kill that Lin Jue as soon as I met him, to avenge Jin Gui. If it weren't for the overall situation, how could I let him live for another half month?
. Hehe, Gao Muqing is an interesting woman. This is called being a bitch and a saint at the same time. She wants to dedicate Lin Jue to me, but at the same time, she has to keep him alive for more than ten days. Don’t you know, these ten days are very important to that person?
For someone named Lin, isn’t it a kind of torture? Knowing that he will die and counting down the days day by day, how can he still live well? Hahaha, that’s fine, it’s not bad to let this kid suffer this kind of torture first.”
"Island owner, although your words are good, my brother always thinks there is something behind it. One of the biggest doubts is that when they trapped Jin Gui and killed him, they designed a fake marriage. How could Gao Muqing treat someone named Lin like she said?
Do you really like her? Are you delaying time on purpose to achieve your goal?"
"Hahaha. Brother, you are too careful. Don't even think about where this place is. Above the vast sea, in the home of nearly 40,000 of our brothers. To be honest, people say that Longtan and Tiger's Den are dangerous.
Our place is a hundred times more powerful than the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den. Who dares to cause trouble on Peach Blossom Island except God? Does Gao Muqing have no brains? What does her more than a hundred people do? The court has no choice but to take a step closer to our territory. She wants to cause trouble.
This trick is tantamount to seeking death. If I hadn't worried about angering the people on Guishan Island and wouldn't cooperate, I would have immediately chopped off Gao Muqing's head. What else would I want to talk to her about?"
"That's what the island owner said. Maybe I'm too cautious. But I still have a suggestion. We must monitor them closely, and be more vigilant on the surrounding islands, especially to inquire about information from Hangzhou. That person from the Lin family
Why haven't you sent any news yet? He should have news about this matter. Is this bitch pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
"Brother, be patient, the news should be sent soon. The boy from the Lin family has been very well-behaved in the past few years and has provided a lot of useful information. Let's not push him too hard. After all, he is also a respectable person, and
His identity must also be kept secret. It is not easy to have such an eyes and ears in the city. He will be needed for many things in the future, so don’t push him too hard."
"..."
In the dark hall, the two of them chatted in low voices, and after a long time they stood up and left.
…
For several days, except for Gao Muqing who was invited to negotiate, the rest of the people were confined to their residence and were not allowed to go out. Not only Lin Jue, but also a group of entourage from Guishan Island were also confined here. A group of depressed people
The entourage almost clashed with the pirates because of this, but fortunately they knew that the pirates were outnumbered and ultimately maintained restraint.
As for Gao Muqing, Hai Dongqing made three demands. The first is to ask Gao Muqing's Guishan Island village to be included in the pirate system and accept Hai Dongqing's command and dispatch. The second is to ask Guishan Island to be sent to Gao Muqing.
The leading leaders in the cottage were all designated or dispatched by the pirates. The third step was to ask Gao Muqing to allow the pirates to mobilize 3,000 men to secretly enter the Guishan Island cottage.
The first one is nothing. The so-called acceptance of Hai Dongqing's command and dispatch was originally agreed in advance. But both parties actually understand that this so-called obeying the command is actually just an empty talk. The two parties are thousands of miles away, even if Gao Muqing does not obey Hai Dongqing
Dong Qing's command, Hai Dongqing can't do anything to her.
But the second and third items are different. They are a plan to pull out the firepower. The leader of the copycat army is sent or appointed by Hai Dongqing. This is to control the army of the copycat and bypass Gao Muqing. Although Hai Dongqing also said,
The people in the inner village will not move, and the dispatched personnel will not seek the position of the village master or the second village master, and will still obey Gao Muqing's orders, but in fact this is a contradictory structure. The way a cottage master controls the cottage is through control
The leader of the army realized that when the leaders of the village were all Haidongqing's people, Gao Muqing would obviously lose control of the village.
What's more, there is a third point. After the three thousand pirates stationed in the Guishan Island cottage, they formed a strength that was comparable to the original soldiers and horses of the cottage. In fact, the entire cottage was no longer Gao Muqing's world. As long as they wanted to
, these three thousand people will overthrow the stronghold and let Gao Muqing die without a burial place.
Hai Dongqing is not a person who beats around the bush. These three demands are rude and overbearing, without any cover-up. Make it clear and tell Gao Muqing that the so-called return to the village means that I will completely control your cottage. There is no second clause.
Road. The so-called alliance in the previous options has long been written off and no one mentioned it again. Of course, as a consolation prize, Haidongqing also gave Gao Muqing the position of deputy island owner. This was Xu Xing's idea, Taohua
There are only the island owner and the young island owner on the island, and then there are the second island owner, three island owners and four island owners, but there has never been a title of deputy island owner. In other words, this deputy island owner is worthless. Completely.
It's just a title of honor. It seems like one person is inferior to others, but it actually has no effect.
Gao Muqing actually didn't care about these, because this was a negotiation that delayed time. On the contrary, Gao Muqing was very happy with such a rude request because she could have a better excuse for delaying.
So, on the first day, Gao Muqing turned over the table and left, pretending to be angry when she returned to her residence, and refused to go no matter how Hai Dongqing sent people to invite her. The next day, Gao Muqing agreed to the first condition,
He agreed to Guishan Island Shanzhai and officially became a member of the Taohua Island pirates, and from then on became a stronghold of Taohua Island in the interior. But on the second condition, Gao Muqing overturned the table and left. On the third day, Gao Muqing accepted it with limited
Gao Muqing agreed to part of the second condition and agreed that some of the leaders would be designated and dispatched by Hai Dongqing, but required that these people must be recognized by themselves. After struggling with this issue for a long time, Gao Muqing agreed that the leaders of the outpost camp should be sent by Hai Dongqing.
The commander, but the main camp soldiers and horses and the sentry horses serving as guards remain as they are, and Hai Dongqing is not allowed to interfere.
This result has actually made Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing very satisfied. You must know that the outpost camp on Guishan Island is the largest military force with as many as a thousand people. It is responsible for guarding the stronghold when going out to fight and protecting the outer stronghold.
.The main force in their Guishan Island cottage, as long as it controls the outpost camp, it controls nearly 30% of the troops in the Guishan Island cottage. This is already very satisfying. All it takes is to send out capable personnel to serve as the leaders of the outpost camp.
, and then replace all the big and small bosses one by one, the outpost camp will be in his hands, and half of Gao Muqing's village will be lost.
Although Gao Muqing did not lift the table today, she was obviously not happy to achieve such a result. At the end, she proposed to take a two-day break to relax and discuss the remaining negotiations at another time. Perhaps she did not want to irritate Gao Muqing too much, or maybe today
The negotiations have achieved significant results, or the third condition is too harsh. In order to avoid the collapse of the talks, the tense atmosphere must be eased. Therefore, Hai Dongqing agreed to Gao Muqing's request and promised to accompany him in person tomorrow.
Gao Muqing visited Peach Blossom Island to see the grandeur of the maritime kingdom established by Hai Dongqing.
