The moonlight is like water, and the night breeze is slightly cool.
Treasure Island.
In the Loyalty Hall, Emperor Chu was sitting at the top, raising his head and looking over everyone. At this time, all the leaders of the Treasure Island pirate halls gathered.
Chen Zuyi, Xu Hai, and Zheng Shi were convinced. Under their persuasion, the pirates chose to submit to the Chu Emperor and captured the Treasure Island with 25,000 pirates without any bloodshed.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Chen Zuyi had a bandage on his forehead and stepped forward to salute with his fist. Then the thirteen people around him knelt down and saluted, and respectful voices rang out.
Now Chen Zuyi, Xu Hai, and Zheng Shi are 100% loyal to Emperor Chu. They took the elixir rewarded by Emperor Chu, and in just a few hours, their cultivation level broke through Platycodon and went one step further.
"Zu Yi, this Treasure Island has a vast terrain and is indeed a good Feng Shui treasure land. I have decided to let you and others secretly train the navy here. I wonder what you think."
Emperor Chu's voice was powerful and clear, reaching everyone's ears. Chen Zuyi nodded gently and suddenly knelt down.
"General, I will obey the emperor's edict!"
"Gong Jin, give the thousands of women on the warship to Zheng Shi and let her serve as their instructor and be temporarily responsible for their daily training."
"Yuan Jing, everyone in the Thirteenth Hall on Treasure Island has joined the ranks of new recruits. You are responsible for their training."
"The general will obey the order!"
When the leaders of the Thirteenth Hall of Treasure Island heard that they were asked to join the recruit training, they all looked displeased. They had thought that if they joined the Chu Navy, they would be given the position of general and captain, but now they were asked to join.
New soldiers will not choose to surrender if they are like this.
Emperor Chu felt the strong resentment in the air, and his figure suddenly rose up, moving towards the center of the hall. Seeing this, everyone retreated to both sides.
"Leader of the Thirteen Halls, I know that you are dissatisfied, so I will give you a chance."
"Xiao Er, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi are on the line. You can choose three people to challenge them. I will reward the winners. If you fail, you can join the new camp."
Emperor Chu actually had a hundred ways to make them surrender, but in order to make everyone surrender, failure was the best way to let them know their shortcomings.
The leaders of the Thirteen Halls were all eager to give it a try. Seeing that the three heroes of the Ruan clan were all equipped with new armor, their eyes flashed with disdain.
"The Emperor has kept his promise, then I will challenge him first!"
The nine-foot-tall man was strong and fierce, with a wild and arrogant air, but there was a playful smile in his eyes.
"Compare to what and how?"
Ruan Xiaoqi stepped forward, looked at the man, and asked, and the man snorted coldly.
"Since you are a navy master, how about comparing your underwater skills?"
“What I wish for!”
Ruan Xiaoqi and the big man strode out. Everyone wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Chen Zuyi.
"You know all about the fishermen's underwater skills. They go to the deep sea to compete. The winner will be determined. You are waiting here."
A few moments.
Heroic laughter came from outside the lobby, and a strong man called a fisherman entered together with Ruan Xiaoqi. The fisherman strode forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the fisherman is willing to join the new navy of Chu Kingdom!"
Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal the fisherman to stand up. He looked at the shocked people in front of him and said, "Who else is willing to challenge? You only have one chance."
"If the leader of the Thirteenth Hall is not convinced, I can send someone to discuss with you and let you know why the new military camp is the best destination for you."
The fisherman was the most powerful man on Treasure Island, but he failed in his challenge. The leaders of the Thirteen Halls did not dare to challenge him rashly, but upon hearing Emperor Chu's words, they felt murderous intent rising on their bodies, and their faces showed embarrassment.
"First of all, let's discuss with the leaders of the Thirteenth Hall and let them know the difference between cloud and mud and what is just a frog at the bottom of a well."
Emperor Chu's words were like a sharp knife piercing everyone's heart. No one would be happy if they were completely ignored. The leader of the Thirteen Halls glanced at Lu Bu, and walked out quickly with his sleeves rolled up.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and walked forward. Behind him, everyone in the hall followed closely, and Lu Bu turned around with a sonorous sound.
"Just wait here and come back as soon as you go!"
In the open space outside the lobby, when the thirteen people saw Lu Bu appearing, they all opened their stances and pointed their cold weapons directly at him.
"Take action!"
Lu Bu painted a halberd on one side, with fighting spirit boiling in his eyes, and a confident smile on his lips. Thirteen figures moved at the same time, weapons criss-crossed, the swords were like lightning, and the spears were like meteors.
"Whoosh!"
Feng Xian drew his halberd and flew away in the air, like a fierce tiger searching the mountain or a divine dragon rising out of the sea. The violent impact of the sword resounded in all directions. As far as the eye could see, all thirteen people flew backwards.
Hearing the thunderous collision, Emperor Chu chuckled and said secretly in his heart: "Fengxian is unparalleled in bravery and invincible among thousands of armies. How can you shake him?"
"Chen Zuyi, Xu Hai, and Zheng Shi are ordered. The three of you are responsible for the training of new recruits on Treasure Island. I will send people to bring you food, grass and luggage."
"After one year, I want to see them become qualified soldiers. I hope you can fulfill your duties."
"Don't worry, my emperor, the three of us will never betray your emperor's trust!"
Finished.
Lu Buti returned to the lobby with his halberd. Thirteen people were covered in injuries. They helped each other and walked in. Their faces were full of guilt.
"Okay, let's all go down and have a good rest tonight. We'll start training tomorrow!"
Emperor Chu waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave. He was not worried that the more than 20,000 pirates were not strong enough, but they were used to being loose and free, and he was afraid that they would not be able to accept restraint for a while.
but.
Lu Bu and Ruan Xiaoqi's actions obviously achieved very good results. Those who were originally unconvinced now all feel at ease.
............
Unknowingly, the morning dew blows in the morning wind, the chill hits us, the waves rise, and the white fish belly gradually appears in the east.
Everything on Treasure Island has been arranged, and Emperor Chu decided to return to Yongjiang City with his generals. At this time, Chen Zuyi, Xu Hai, and Zheng Shi ordered people to transport the wealth they had accumulated over decades to the dragon boat.
Seeing the Emperor of Chu arriving with his generals, Chen Zuyi stepped forward quickly, raised his fist and saluted: "Your Majesty, these are the wealth accumulated by the generals over the years. Now that Chu is developing, these can be regarded as the thoughts of the three generals.
"
Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the boxes of treasures transported on the dragon boat. He chuckled and stepped forward to pat Chen Zuyi on the shoulder.
"This will not happen again. You are now a general of the Chu army. Please don't do anything like plundering passing merchant ships again."
Chen Zuyi bowed and saluted, followed closely behind them, and breathed a sigh of relief when he watched Emperor Chu boarding the ship.
"Kong Ming, this Chen Zuyi knows the current situation, but these are ill-gotten gains, and he actually downplays them."
"This can be regarded as taking money from the people and using it for the people. When we return to Yongjiang City, we will first use this money to build coastal cities."
"I want all the cities in Chu to be impregnable so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"My emperor is wise and returned to Yongjiang. I will order someone to deal with it!" (To be continued)
