"Surround!" Hearing the report from the guards, Uncle Tuo and the three of them stood up all at once, and Sun Tong asked eagerly, "What's going on, who dares to surround this place so boldly?"

"Well... a lot of people. There are countless torches flickering on the front and east and west sides of the house. We don't know how many people there are on the other side." It seems that there must be a lot of people outside, otherwise the guard wouldn't be so scared.

Sanniang, Uncle Tuo and Sun Tong looked at each other, and then walked out together.When they came to the courtyard, the guards in the entire courtyard had already received the news. Countless people hurriedly rushed to the several entrances and exits of the house with weapons, and then guarded there like an enemy, for fear that people from outside would rush in.

Sanniang and the others came to the turret on the right side of the gate, and then lay down on their mouths to look out, only to find that, as the guards said, some messy torches were quietly burning less than [-] meters away from the front of the house. Under the light of the torches, one can see Japanese men with braided hair holding Japanese swords, cursing or laughing in the direction of the house, without any consideration.The guards of the chamber of commerce on the turret saw the arrogance of the Japanese people outside, their faces flushed with anger, and they held the weapons in their hands fiercely, wishing to rush out and chop those Japanese people into pieces.

Similarly, there is also a group of people on the east side of the turret, but the appearance and clothing of these people are similar to those of the Han people, but they are different.In addition, the weapons in the hands of these people are very distinctive. Most of them use a three-pronged fork, which looks similar to a harpoon. Only a few people with relatively high status hang knives on their waists.Judging from the weapons alone, you know they are Koreans.

"It's the Ise Chamber of Commerce of the Japanese and the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce of the Koreans. As for the west side, you don't need to look at it. It must be the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce led by Shangizumi Honger. It seems that the three of them have secretly united for a long time!" After seeing clearly outside The enemy, Uncle Tuo said immediately, a few rays of cold light burst out from his half-closed eyes.

"Aren't the Koreans and the Japanese always on the wrong track? How could they unite?" Sun Tong's mind was indeed a little weak, and he couldn't turn things around even when he thought about it.

"What's so strange about this is that the Japanese and the Koreans are villains who don't have faith. Faced with the huge temptation of our chamber of commerce, it's normal to unite temporarily." Sanniang said with a look of hatred.

That’s all for the Japanese. In the past, they often had conflicts with the Japanese, but the Koreans on the east side were also enemies of the Japanese. When they were oppressed by the Japanese, they often asked them for help. In trouble, these North Koreans not only don't want to repay, but want to take advantage of the fire to rob, it is shameless!

Although it was very dark outside, with the light of the torches, Sanniang and the three of them made an estimate, and found that the Japanese in front and the Koreans in the east had a total of 500 people. There are also six 700 people.However, they have less than 100 people in their hands, and a considerable part of them are guarding the docks, shipyards and other places. There are only more than [-] people who actually guard the house. Some manpower was specially mobilized, otherwise there would be fewer.

"Sun Tong, with the hundred or so people in our hands, are you sure you can guard the courtyard?" Uncle Tuo asked at this time.

"It's hard to say. Although our house is very solid, as long as the other party has a ladder, they can climb in from the fence at any time. We have few people, and it is impossible to deploy people at every point. In case the other party jumps over the wall The people who come open the gap, and the house will definitely not be able to defend it, but I am sure that I can protect the three of us and fight out!" As soon as Sun Tong mentioned the aspect of fighting, he immediately became radiant, exuding a smile. Kind of creepy murderous look.

"Not many people know about the gathering of the three of us, and all of them are people with status in the chamber of commerce, but now they are blocked by the other party, so someone in our chamber of commerce must have secretly defected to the other party. I am worried that if these spies and People outside should cooperate with outsiders, that would be troublesome!" Uncle Tuo suddenly sighed again, he is old, has experienced many storms, and is very thoughtful about things, he has seen before that since the death of his boss Zhou Hai, The hearts of the people in the Chamber of Commerce were a little scattered, but they didn't expect that in such a short period of time, some people had already taken refuge in the Japanese and Koreans.

But when Uncle Tuo and Sun Tong were discussing how to defend and escape, Sanniang, who had been observing the situation outside, suddenly said, "Don't worry, Uncle Tuo, the Japanese and Koreans outside should not attack!"

Hearing Sanniang's words, Uncle Tuo and Sun Tong were taken aback, and hurried back to look out, only to find that although the Japanese and Koreans outside were shouting loudly, they had been staying a hundred paces away for so long , with no intention of moving forward.

Seeing this, Uncle Tuo had a flash of inspiration, and immediately understood the meaning, and said happily: "So, the Japanese and Koreans outside have scrupulousness, so they dare not rush in, so they can only use this A way to put pressure on us."

"Scruples? What are the scruples? Could it be that they are worried that our Chamber of Commerce's force is too powerful, so they dare not attack?" Sun Tong, who is not very good at thinking, can't figure out the reason, but he did not forget to put money on his face.

Guessing the thoughts of the enemies outside, Sanniang also felt relieved at this moment, and immediately explained with a coquettish smile when she heard Sun Tong's question: "They are not worried about us, but the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce."

"Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce? Why did you get involved with them again?" Sun Tong was even more confused now.

"Hey, speaking of it, we really have to thank the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce. If you look at the Ise Chamber of Commerce, Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, and Jeolla Chamber of Commerce outside, all of them are sworn enemies of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce. Although their combined strength far exceeds us, if you want to If we swallow us in one fell swoop, we will pay a high price. If the loss is too big, do you think the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce will miss this good opportunity to destroy them?" Uncle Tuo also smiled cunningly at this time, with a smile on his face. The wrinkles in my face seem to have been stretched a lot.

Hearing this, Sun Tong finally understood, and he slapped his thigh and said happily: "So, I always thought the bastards of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce were an eyesore, but I didn't expect to rely on them to survive today."

In fact, as Sanniang and Uncle Tuo expected, the Ise Chamber of Commerce, Shangquan Chamber of Commerce and Jeolla Chamber of Commerce outside were greedy for the interests in the hands of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and colluded to carve up them, but they were worried about the strength of the three of them and worried In case of a fight, it would benefit the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, so they did not dare to act presumptuously. The reason why they surrounded the Nanduan Chamber of Commerce today was actually mainly to put pressure on Sanniang and the others, forcing them to take the initiative to donate their benefits.

Understanding the thoughts of the Japanese and Koreans outside, Sanniang and the three of them also relaxed, but they still informed the guards in the house to be careful, and at the same time ordered everyone no matter what happened outside, the guards in the house could not go out without authorization. And the three of them didn't go back. They first went to another turret to look at the west side of the house, and found that, as they expected, the west side was the people from Shangquan Chamber of Commerce.

"Uncle Tuo, the other party obviously wants to use this method to exert pressure. Although the other party should not attack tonight, they have already set a deadline for us. If we don't give the other party an answer after the deadline, I am afraid these people will Really desperate to attack us." On the way back to the hall, Sanniang said a little worried.

"Well, I'm also worried about this issue. There are only two ways in front of us now. The first is to follow what the other party said, giving up the interests in hand, and maybe we can protect ourselves. The second is to unite and fight them to the death In the end." At this point, Uncle Tuo took a long breath and said with a firm face, "I am old and have worked in the Chamber of Commerce for more than ten years. It is impossible to change places, so if those Japanese If the North Koreans want to seize the foundation of the chamber of commerce, they have to step over the old man's corpse!"

"Uncle Tuo is right. Although I, Sun Tong, are not as old as you, I still have a group of brothers to support. If I hand over the berth in my hand, then my brothers and I will drink the northwest wind, so even It's me who wants to hand it over, and my brothers won't be willing either, so I can only fight them to the end!" Sun Tong waved his strong arms and said indifferently.

Seeing that Uncle Tuo and Sun Tong expressed their views, Sanniang also smiled coquettishly: "You two are good enough men, my mother, my shipyard has been taken by Shangquan Honger, a pervert, and even my mother wants to be together. Take it, and I also have no way to retreat, so I can only fight head-on with them."

Uncle Tuo, Sun Tong, and Sanniang all smiled knowingly when they saw that their opinions were surprisingly consistent, and the estrangement caused by the conflict of interests before disappeared without a trace, as if they had returned to the moment when they worked together for the chamber of commerce.

The people from Ise and other three chambers of commerce spent the whole night outside the house, during which time no one who took the lead came out. They just let their subordinates ridicule and curse at the house of the Nanyang chamber of commerce, which made the guards inside furious. But he dared not come out.

It was not until the next morning that the people outside left, but at the place where the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce left on the east side, Sanniang and the others found two corpses. After identification, they turned out to be the guards guarding the port under Sun Tong. Later, people at the port also reported that they were attacked by the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce at night. During the chaos, the two disappeared, but they were kidnapped and killed by the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, and their bodies were used as a warning.

Shuangyu Port was originally a place without any laws, so it’s nothing unusual for someone to die, but the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was one of the largest chambers of commerce in Beigang before, and now it’s being threatened by people in this way, which is simply too deceitful. Even when Sun Tong saw the corpse, he wanted to go to the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce with a knife to kill him, but in the end he was held back by his subordinates.

Although the fact that one of his own people was killed made the entire Chamber of Commerce very angry, it is also a fact that their strength is not as good as others. Although Sanniang and Uncle Tuo are shrewd and old-fashioned, they are helpless in the face of absolute strength, but only at dusk on this day , a very ordinary carriage came out of the Xie's house in Nangang, and then slowly arrived at the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in Beigang.
