Zhou Tai acted very quickly. Since he was going to hold a meeting of heroes, there was no need to delay and it was carried out immediately.
The news has been spread, and the date has been set. Many water thieves on the tributaries and main trunk lines of the Yangtze River have also conveyed the news to Zhou Tai, and actively requested to participate in the meeting of heroes.
Zhou Tai felt very comfortable that his reputation was so popular among the water thieves in Jiangnan.
"Master, as soon as the news that you are convening a meeting of heroes was circulated, as of today, thirty-three knights and friends on the Yangtze River waterways have sent messages, saying that they will take the initiative to participate in the meeting of heroes and cooperate with the master.
Denounce the Jinfan thief! For more than ten years, among the knights who gathered on the Jiangnan waterway, from eighty years old to teenagers, we can't pick out a single one who has the honor of being the boss. It's really shocking.
People are amazed!"
The person talking to Zhou Tai now is Jiang Qin.
As Zhou Tai's right-hand man and the second-in-command of the Jiujiang water thief group, Jiang Qin's reputation is also extremely high among the water thief circles in Jiangnan, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure.
After listening to Jiang Qin's compliments, Zhou Tai stroked the thorns under his chin, nodded with satisfaction, and said with satisfaction: "Brother, what you said is true, and what you said makes sense. For my brother, I have been on the river for so many years."
Although he was a river thief who did the chivalrous and righteous deeds, his reputation for loyalty has long been spread across both sides of the Yangtze River. The thieves look up to him, who doesn't admire him? It's not for my brother and me to boast. Since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, China has been in China for more than a thousand years.
There has never been a river thief as brave and loyal as me!"
Jiang Qin quickly gave a thumbs up and responded: "That's it, that's it!"
When he said this, Zhou Tai laughed and patted his exposed chest, and said smugly: "I am really the king among the few river thieves in the past! It can be called a king."
He is the king of river thieves! Hahahahaha"
When Zhou Tai finished saying this, he saw Jiang Qin's expression suddenly change.
The guy was hesitantly silent for a while, and then he tentatively said to Zhou Taiyan: "Brother, I heard that a group of peers has recently emerged on the Yangtze River's thieves' road. They are quite powerful. The thieves headed by them are very arrogant.
There are also a lot of boys, but I don’t know where they came from. I only heard that they are water thieves who have settled in Jiangchazi on the other side of Danyang County. Should we also call him over?"
Zhou Tai raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said curiously: "Oh? This is quite interesting. It's not enough for a Jinfan thief to be arrogant. Why did another arrogant one pop up? Tell me, how arrogant is he? Even more arrogant than Gan Ning.
Arrogant?"
Jiang Qin paused when he heard this, and then hesitated for a while before he slowly said: "It's more irritating than Gan Ning... Brother, I tell you it's okay, but you must not get angry."
Zhou Tai laughed and waved his hand: "What a joke, what kind of person am I? How can I be angry because of a new little thief? The Jinfan thief can't even make me angry, so how can this little thief make me angry?"
?Tell me, what is the background of this newly emerged water thief? How is he so annoying?"
After Jiang Qin thought about his words, he said slowly: "Brother, this group of water thieves who are entrenched near Danyang are said to be thieves from other counties from the north. Because their leader is extremely loyal,
Therefore, a force was quickly formed in the waters near Danyang County. It is said that this man and his water bandits, like the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, like to wear ornaments when they raid...
Sail thieves usually wear brocade clothes and bells, and are known as brocade thieves. However, the leader of water thieves in Danyang is said to like to carry a big bamboo hat when going out to rob, so he is nicknamed Straw Hat Thief in the world!"
"Straw hat thief?" Zhou Tai's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he felt a little funny: "Why did you get such a weird nickname? What is his name?"
Jiang Qin said word by word: "It is rumored that he is from Qingzhou in the North, his surname is Lu, his name is Fei, and he is..."
"So what?" Zhou Tai urged impatiently when he saw Jiang Qin stumbling.
Jiang Qin took a deep breath and hurriedly finished his words: "And it is said that this straw hat thief Luffy once ordered his men to threaten on the waterway near Danyang, claiming that he was the man who wanted to become the Pirate King..."
After saying this, Zhou Tai's face suddenly darkened.
Zhou Taiyong is outstanding in martial arts. He has been in Jiujiang County for many years. He entered the industry relatively early and has strong strength.
Because of this, Zhou Tai always regarded himself as the king of the Yangtze River, and sometimes he always claimed to be the king of river thieves, both in words and in words.
Zhou Tai calls himself the king of river thieves. Logically speaking, he is actually quite guilty... After all, this title is too big, and the thieves on the Yangtze River may not be convinced if word spreads about it.
Zhou Tai also wants to save face. He is always afraid that the thieves who are traveling with him will scold him for being shameless behind his back.
But he never expected that in today's world, someone with a thicker skin than him would pop up and call himself the "Pirate King"?
This title suppressed more than one of Zhou Tai's words.
So damn arrogant!
Zhou Tai's heart was as angry as fire.
Damn you! Where did this bitch come from? You are so shameless! How dare you, a water bandit from Jiangchazi, call yourself the Pirate King? Have you ever seen what the sea looks like?
You Pirate King, you went for a stroll in the Yangtze River?!
"How old is Luffy?" Zhou Tai asked Jiang Qin with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.
Jiang Qin knew that Zhou Tai would be furious when he heard that Lu was so arrogant, so he spoke with extra caution at this moment and said, "I think he is seventeen or eighteen years old."
"Hahaha! Okay! Very good!" Zhou Taiyang laughed loudly. He didn't know that he was sympathetic to such an arrogant person, or that he was beaten up by this dog.
"How dare a brat with no hair to grow dare to be so arrogant? If the country is about to fall, evildoers will appear!" After Zhou Tai finished laughing, he snorted heavily and said, "Second brother Jiang, we, this group of heroes,
Have you ever sent an invitation to Luffy, the straw hat thief?"
Jiang Qin was stunned when he heard this and said: "Master, didn't we just send the news out? But the invitations were not sent to anyone. Didn't they send their own people to invite them to attend the meeting?"
Zhou Tai snorted when he heard this and said: "It was originally a routine, but this straw hat thief is so arrogant. I can't just leave him alone. I have to let him know the rules of this road! I'll tone it down this time.
Attitude, give the Pirate King some face... Second son, you send a boy to Danyang to find this straw hat boy's den of thieves, send him a greeting note, and invite him to come to Fanyang Lake to join the gathering of heroes!"
Jiang Qin stood up, raised his hands to Zhou Taiyi, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, just wait for the letter!"
…
…
Danyang County, Jinling City.
"You are really good at being a monster!" Guo Jia placed the greeting card sent by the Jiujiang thief Zhou Tai on the table and placed it on the pottery merchant's public case, saying: "The Jiujiang thief sent someone to send the message.
I specially invited the Straw Hat Thief... If you get your wish, you can go to the Heroes Meeting!"
Tao Shang smiled and picked up the post from the case, glanced at it a few times, and said: "This Zhou Da master is really on the road. He couldn't sit still so quickly. He sent someone to send the invitation post. Tao
I'm really flattered... This time, I really have to do something for my brother. First, he asked the school office to spread rumors and confirm the reputation of Straw Hat Luffy as a thief. Then he sent people to secretly set up a water fortress by the river, and sent
The school officials are acting as thieves... It seems that the school affairs office is under Brother Qian's control, and there is nothing he can't control."
Guo Jia had a teasing look on his face and said: "Then how are you going to deal with this matter next?...One Piece?"
Tao Shang gently tapped the table with his left hand and said slowly: "It is necessary to meet with these bandits. After all, Danyang County is near the river, but we don't have many naval forces in our hands. If we can get along well with these bandits,
The relationship may be of great help in the future.”
Guo Jia curled his lips and said: "Don't think too easily of these Jiang thieves. They don't recognize any Taiping lords, they only recognize brave and generous people with loyalty. If you want to conquer them, I'm afraid it's impossible. You can only
It’s a killing!"
Tao Shang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Brother Guo is right. I am really not sure about conquering the Jiang thieves led by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai. If this is the case, then I will not conquer them, but I will only suppress them."
There is no need to kill them, can we become allies with them?"
Guo Jia was surprised when he heard this: "You are a son of a dignified noble family, a son of an official family, and a prefect with a city worth two thousand dan!... With such an identity, if you go to form an alliance with a group of water thieves, if you agree, the water thieves will probably not do it."
Promise?"
The pottery merchant smiled slightly and said, "Who said I would form an alliance with them as a prefect? Don't forget, I am the Pirate King."
Hearing this, Guo Jia sneered: "Do you really think of yourself as the leader of the water thieves?"
The potter stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to flick the dust on his sleeves, and said impassionedly: "That's natural! Brother, it's not Tao who is bragging. I'm good at being a young master! I'm great at being a supervisor.
!As a prefect, I am very good at it! As a leader of water thieves, I am no problem! Tao is not partial to science!"
Facing Guo Jia's dumbfounded eyes, Tao Shang snorted coldly and said slowly: "This time, I will really treat him as the pirate king, so that all these Yangtze River thieves will willingly worship me as their big brother! I'll treat you well.
Open your eyes.”
Guo Jiamu stared blankly at the pottery merchant, his mouth seemed to be able to swallow two whole eggs.
When I was young, I saw Guo Jia shut his mouth and said helplessly: "Prince Taiping, the governor of Danyang County, and now the Pirate King... Guo really doesn't want to run back to Yingchuan now, but I want to see if I can follow you
