On Peach Blossom Island, the last negotiation on the dispatch of soldiers and horses to Guishan Island was carried out for three days. Of course, Gao Muqing also upset the table countless times, and even made Hai Dongqing angry several times, threatening to fall out and kill people. In the end,
The number of troops stationed was increased from 3,000 to 2,500 and finally reached 1,800. Gao Muqing seemed to be extremely reluctant to agree to this number.
For Hai Dongqing, this is also a good result. He can send 1,800 pirates to Guishan Island. Coupled with the previous agreement on dispatching the leader of the outpost camp, basically in the Guishan Island cottage
It formed an overwhelming advantage in manpower and could control the Guishan Island cottage at any time. The entire negotiation was successful and achieved Hai Dongqing's expected goal. The price paid by the pirates was nothing more than giving Gao Muqing a so-called deputy island owner.
The title only gave her a promise to forget the past and provide her with support when the officers and soldiers went to suppress the Guishan Island cottage. In fact, she had not paid anything, and the promises she made were all false promises.
In order to celebrate the successful negotiation between the two parties, Guishan Island officially became an inland branch of the pirates. That night, Hai Dongqing held a banquet and celebrated. Several leaders brought by Gao Muqing were also invited to the banquet that night.
, even Lin Jue was allowed to attend the banquet when Hai Dongqing was in a good mood.
The banquet lasted from dusk until late at night. After Gao Muqing and others left, Hai Dongqing lay in his yard with his clothes open, blowing the cool sea breeze at night and fell asleep. Just as he was drowsy, someone was
Wake up gently.
"Island owner, island owner, the eldest son wants to see the island owner." It was Hai Dongqing's personal guard who woke him up.
Hai Dongqing frowned and cursed: "What is he doing here? Why don't you go back to sleep in the middle of the night?"
The guard was speechless, Hai Dongqing rubbed his eyes and said: "That's all, ask him to come."
After escorting him out for a moment, Jiang Jinfu, who was pleasant to his eyes, slowly walked in. For some reason, when Hai Dongqing saw his eldest son walking timidly, he felt a sense of evil in his heart for no reason. How could he be a hero all his life?
To give birth to such an incompetent son. If the village girl had not indeed given birth to this son under his eyes, he would have almost suspected that he was not his son.
"Jin Fu, why don't you go to bed so late? You drank a lot tonight. Look at you like this, you can't even walk straight. You should be self-disciplined and not indulge yourself." Hai Dongqing scolded with a frown.
.
"My son has met his father. Actually... nothing happened. He just wanted to come and visit his father." Jiang Jinfu said timidly.
Hai Dongqing became angry: "If you have something to say, you will say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. Why are you so submissive? We meet every day, what do you want to see? You go out when nothing happens, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Jinfu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, my son does have something he wants to tell his father."
"Then you still won't tell me? Are you waiting for me to beg you?" Hai Dongqing shouted.
Jiang Jinfu breathed a sigh of relief and finally summoned up the courage to say: "Dad, my son wants to ask daddy something."
"Ask me quickly." Hai Dongqing grabbed the teapot on the small table next to him and took a few sips into his mouth.
"Dad, is my mother still alive?" Jiang Jinfu asked.
"Why are you asking this? Your mother? I haven't seen her for more than 20 years. Who knows if she is still alive or not? Why do you suddenly think of asking about this?" Hai Dongqing said in surprise.
"Dad, I just want to ask my mother to confirm something. For all these years, my father has not said anything about sending anyone to pick her up to come to the island to enjoy her life. He has not even sent anyone to see if she is still alive."
Hai Dongqing frowned and pondered for a moment and said: "Isn't this simple? We'll find out tomorrow by sending someone to Niujia Village. If she's still alive... there's no need to take her to the island. Just send her some silver."
"Dad actually doesn't need to send someone, because I know that my mother... has passed away. In the fourth year after we landed on the island, my mother passed away. Before she died, she still called my name... I have been there for ten years
I secretly went to inquire about it before, and my mother had been dead for eight years at that time." Jiang Jinfu said in a deep voice.
Hai Dongqing said in surprise: "Jin Fu, what happened to you today? Since you know that your mother has passed away, you still come to ask me. Are you entertaining me?"
Jiang Jinfu looked at Hai Dongqing disappointedly and said: "Dad, mother is dead, but she is your wife. When we were in Niujia Village, mother served you, mended and washed you, and asked you about your well-being. Daddy heard that mother said
Are you not sad at all about the death news?"
Hai Dongqing frowned and shouted: "Jin Fu, are you here to make me unhappy? What on earth are you going to do?"
Jiang Jinfu gritted his teeth and said, "It would be great if my mother were alive, because I have always wanted to ask her something in my heart. But now that she is dead, maybe only you, dad, can answer this question."
Hai Dongqing said coldly: "You've been blabbering for a long time, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"Dad, what Jin Fu wants to ask is, am I your biological son, or am I the son you picked up?" Jiang Jinfu asked through gritted teeth.
"What did you say? Did you drink too much? Why did you ask this? What are you thinking about all day long? You are a worthless person who stays in a muddle all day long and doesn't do anything serious." Hai Dongqing scolded him sternly.
"Dad, I didn't drink too much. I have wanted to ask this question for a long time. I drank some wine today and I really can't hold back and want to ask clearly. I don't know if I am dad's son. Because, dad treats me
His attitude is nothing like the attitude towards his own son, so Jin Fu is very confused." Jiang Jinfu said softly.
Hai Dongqing scolded: "You bastard, it turns out you came here to complain. It's a good thing you're not my seed. I wish I could be without you, a worthless thing. But you are my seed..."
"So, I am really your son? This is great. This clears up my doubts. But...since I am my father's son, why does my father treat me differently from other brothers? Jin Gui
When you were alive, you loved him the most. You took him with you wherever you went and taught him his skills personally. You also had your third brother Jinbao and your fourth brother Jintang. You were very kind to them. But why did you have to beat me up?
He scolded me and looked at me with extremely disgusted eyes. I was not even allowed to ask about many things. Can daddy explain to his son?"
Hai Dongqing picked up the teapot and threw it at Jiang Jinfu's head. Jiang Jinfu reached out and the teapot hit his arm and fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was a copper pot. It only made a clanking sound when it fell to the ground, but did not break.
But because it was a copper kettle, it was heavier and heavier. The impact on Jiang Jinfu's arm was so painful that he almost broke his hand bones.
"Get out, I gave you a life and raised you so big. Who do you rely on to be popular, drink, play with women and show off your authority every day? Today you come to me to complain about these things. How are you doing? What do you want to do with me?
Can I settle the score? Can't you turn the world upside down?" Hai Dongqing cursed angrily.
Jiang Jinfu endured the pain and said in a deep voice: "My father gave his son a life, but my son didn't think that his father was very good to me. But my father was not good to Jin Gui, and he was also very good to Jinbao Jintang and the others. I met their father."
His face was full of smiles, and when he saw me, daddy kept a straight face. Daddy, I am your son too."
"Beast, it turns out that you are here today to punish me. Look at your appearance. Are you not angry? Why am I being nice to them? Why do I give you shame? You don't even ask yourself what you have done. You have been doing this for so many years.
Have you ever accomplished one thing? You spend all your time eating, drinking and having fun without accomplishing anything. What are your abilities? Tell me? You are worse than a minion. If you weren’t my Hai Dongqing’s son, do you think you could stay on the island?
Even for one day? Others have already thrown you into the sea. How dare you compare with Jin Gui and the others? How many great things has Jin Gui done? Jin Gui led people to hijack ships, and the men in four small ships robbed two large ships.
How can you do it? Jin Gui fights ten leaders alone, how can you do it? Jin Gui is the one who does big things, what about you? What can you do? It’s such a pity that Jin Gui died, why wasn’t you the one who died? Why Jin Gui? God is so unfair
.”
Hai Dongqing was so drunk that he blurted out these extremely outrageous words.
These words were like knives stabbing into Jiang Jinfu's heart. Jiang Jinfu's face turned pale and he stood there blankly, his whole body trembling slightly. He finally understood that he was worthless in the eyes of his father.
It was so worth it that he even wished he could die. Although he knew that he didn't like himself before, he never thought that he hated himself to such an extent.
The reason why he mustered up the courage to come today was actually based on what Lin Jue said to him that day. Over the past few days, Lin Jue's words had rolled through his mind many times. Every time he thought about Lin Jue's words, his heart
The anger increased by one point. I am afraid that even Lin Jue did not expect that the seed he sown in Jiang Jinfu's heart began to sprout in a very short period of time.
"...You can ask your father. Just ask him directly if he will pass on the title of island master to you in the future. Just ask this question and see how your father answers. You are father and son, so what's the matter?
You can't ask? If I were you, even if I died, I would still ask about this clearly, lest I be fooled like a fool."
Lin Jue's words lingered in his ears like a devil's spell, making him always feel that he had to figure this out.
Finally, today's negotiation was reached. Shanghai Dongqing was in a good mood during the banquet. Jiang Jinfu himself also drank a lot, so he mustered up the courage to use the power of alcohol and came to ask. However, he got this answer.
"Dad, I understand. In your eyes, it turns out that your son is so disgusting to you. However, even if Jin Gui dies, dad will not let me inherit your position as the island master in the future, right? Jinbao Jintang is the one.
Dad’s future successor, but I’m nothing, right?”
"Bastard, I finally understand. You came here just to ask these questions. Do you want to be the owner of the island? Haha, I tell you clearly, don't even think about it. I have worked hard for decades to get to where we are today.
, leave it to you to bury? Just based on your virtue? I tell you, don’t have any wrong thoughts. If you just stay aside, you can have enough to eat, drink and have fun in the future. If you are here
If you think wrong about something, you are asking for trouble."
Jiang Jinfu's face turned pale and his body was trembling, suppressing his emotions. In his father's mind, it turned out that he was really nothing. His father had already said that answer himself, and he would never have the chance to become the island leader. What Lin Jue said
That's right, I'm just a clown in my father's eyes.
