Chapter 719 The Second Wave

But he naturally couldn't tell Hu Zongxian, otherwise he couldn't explain how he knew the situation of the pirates so well.So, frowning here, he pretended to ponder for a while and said:
"I don't know either. However, it's nothing. Send a few people to keep an eye on him, and then you'll know what he's doing."

"makes sense."

Hu Zongxian nodded, the two talked for a while, and then Luo Xin left.

Day by day, Mao Haifeng has been spending time in Suzhou, but not far from the Daming Navy, there are a few small boats hidden on a small island, watching the Daming Navy day and night.

Whether Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were crippled by Luo Xin, although they got entangled with some small groups of pirates and suddenly attacked Wang Zhi, which caught Wang Zhi by surprise, so more small groups of pirates were like sharks. The smell of blood came together, wanting to blow Wang Zhi, which made Wang Zhi very anxious.

However, the improvised pirates are mobs, and when Wang Zhi fully reacted, it would be difficult for Xu Hai and the mob to take advantage of them. Killed many pirates.But just when Wang Zhi was happy, the thing he had been worried about happened again. One of his islands was robbed by the mysterious pirates again. It was the same as before, all supplies and people were robbed. An empty island.This incident happened again when he was fighting with Xu Hai.

However, this time Wang Zhi did not lose his temper, but left and sent someone to Suzhou to find Mao Haifeng to investigate the movements of the Daming Navy.When Mao Haifeng learned that his island had been robbed again, he froze there. He knew that the Daming Navy had never left the coast of Daming, and he had been drinking with some generals of the Daming Navy a few days ago.

Let people go back and tell Wang Zhi that the mysterious pirates were not the Daming Navy, and then he went straight to the Shibo Division. He planned to live in the Shibo Division during this period, and he wanted to see who robbed them. Things, he believed in his adoptive father's judgment, the pirates who robbed them would definitely transport some things here to sell in exchange for food and other supplies.

Luo Xin received Mao Haifeng in the Shibo Department, and then arranged Mao Haifeng in the best inn in Hangzhou.After sending Mao Haifeng out of the gate of the Shipbuilding Department, Luo Xin walked back with a smile.When she came to the backyard, she saw Wang Cuiqiao standing pale at the door of the study and looking at herself.Seeing Luo Xin enter the study, he walked in with a teapot in his hand, poured tea for Luo Xin, and stood there hesitating to speak.Luo Xin looked at her and said:

"Is something wrong?"

Wang Cuiqiao whispered: "Mao Haifeng is here?"

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "What? Are you afraid that he will recognize you?"

"En!" Wang Cuiqiao nodded and said, "It's okay to recognize my slave's family, but I'm afraid that I will hurt the master."

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "It's okay, he won't enter the backyard, and you don't go out. The two of you will have no chance to meet."

"En!" Wang Cuiqiao nodded obediently.

"I just wronged you." Luo Xin pulled Wang Cuiqiao into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Wang Cuiqiao sat gently in Luo Xin's arms, and said with a worried face: "Then what is Mao Haifeng doing here instead of staying with Hu Zongxian?"

Luo Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to test Wang Cuiqiao. Since Wang Cuiqiao is already his own woman, some things can't be kept secret, and Wang Cuiqiao is not an ordinary woman. Career has made her become like Zhong Jin Hatun, sometimes Luo Xin feels that it is a waste to let Wang Cuiqiao hide under his wings like this.He is still not sure whether Wang Cuiqiao puts all his thoughts on himself. If so, he will gradually hand over some things to Wang Cuiqiao.

Luo Xin lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what happened to Xu Hai?"

The blood on Wang Cuiqiao's face that had just recovered instantly turned pale again, and the body sitting in Luo Xin's arms trembled slightly:
"Master, you...doubt Yun'er?"

Seeing that the expression on Wang Cuiqiao's face did not seem to be fake, Luo Xin showed a smile on his face and said:

"Yun'er, you are thinking too much, I just want to tell you about Xu Hai."

"I don't want to hear it!" Wang Cuiqiao said resolutely: "I am called Qin Yun now, and I am the master's concubine. I don't know Xu Hai."

Luo Qing gently stroked her hair and said, "Didn't you just ask why Mao Haifeng came here?"

Wang Cuiqiao was taken aback for a moment and said, "Does it have something to do with Xu Hai?"

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You should know why Xu Hai attacked Hangzhou in the first place, right?"

"Yes, I know." At this time, Wang Cuiqiao's face no longer had the weak look just now, but was full of wisdom:

"It's because Wang Zhi sent people to snatch Xu Hai's ship."

Luo Xin laughed, lowered his voice and said, "It's not Wang who went straight to grab it."

"Who else is it if it's not Wang Zhi?" Wang Cuiqiao looked at Luo Dao Dao in disbelief: "Only Wang Zhi has this burden and strength at sea."

"It's me!" Luo Xin said softly, seeing Wang Cuiqiao's beautiful eyes wide open, with an expression of disbelief, he lightly scratched Wang Cuiqiao's nose and said:

"It's your master and me."

"Master, you..."

"You just need to know that my master and I have a very strong force at sea. But this force is unknown to everyone. After they robbed Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Ye Ma's boat, they hid it. Then Xu Hai and Xin Wulang are just like you, they all believe that this matter is caused by Wang Zhi, hehe..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin couldn't help laughing smugly.The disbelief in Wang Cuiqiao's eyes gradually turned into worship.I am a pirate myself, but I didn't realize that there is such a powerful force in the sea, and this force is secretly managed by Luo Xin.

"Is this the Daming Army God?"

"Then Xu Hai and Xin Wulang went to trouble Wang Zhi." Luo Xin put his hand into Wang Cuiqiao's arms, and said while stroking:
"When Xu Hai and Wang Zhi were fighting fiercely, my master and my sea force attacked Wang Zhi's island, and then disappeared quickly. This made Wang Zhi suspicious of the Daming Navy, so Mao Haifeng The first time I came to Suzhou, I wanted to find out what happened to the Daming Navy.

But now that he came to the Shibo Department again, he put on a gesture of staying here for a long time, which can only show one thing. "

"What's the matter?" Wang Cuiqiao couldn't help asking.

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "It can only show that my master's navy has robbed Wang Zhi's island again. Wang Zhi sent someone to look for Mao Haifeng, and Mao Haifeng naturally knew that the Daming navy had never moved. , so the suspicion of the Daming Navy was eliminated. Yun'er, what do you think Mao Haifeng is doing in the Shipbuilding Division?"

Wang Cuiqiao thought for a while and said, "He wants to find clues from the Shibo Department!"

Luo Xin pinched her approvingly, and Wang Cuiqiao let out a "squeak".

"Yun'er, you are right."

"Then sir, you..."

"My lord, I have my own countermeasures. Well, my lord, I have something to go out."

Wang Cuiqiao obediently got off Luo Xin's lap, tidied Luo Xin's clothes, and looked at Luo Xin's leaving back and meditated.

She cherishes the happiness in front of her very much. Since she was a teenager, she was greeted and sent off in a brothel, and then she was constantly wandering, which made her heart exhausted to the extreme. Especially during the time when Xu Hai was defeated and she was living as a beggar, it was a life-changing experience. Better to die.It was Luo Xin who rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering, and she no longer had to live a life of wandering and fearful, so she cherished and was especially grateful to Luo Xin.

Getting along with Luo Xin during this period of time made her feel a completely different side of Luo Xin.There are rumors about Luo Xin in the Jianghu that he is a devil, cold and heartless, with blood on his hands.But now she finds that it is not what she heard at all. Luo Xin treats people sincerely and is humorous. It's the broken flowers and the willows that dislike her, but treat her very well and carefully, which makes her feel the warmth she has never had before, and her heart is all on Luo Xin.

A person like her was born in a brothel when she was a child, married twice, and even married a pirate once.Not to mention a champion like Luo Xin, even ordinary businessmen would not marry her.If she doesn't put her heart on Luo Xin, whose body should she put it on?

Only through the past few days, she has basically understood Luo Xin's family situation, knowing that Luo Xin's parents are there, and there is an elder brother, but he died in the grassland.There is a wife in the family, who is the daughter of Lu Tingfang, a famous scholar. Luo Xin and Lu Rudai are childhood sweethearts, and they are very affectionate.

This made Wang Cuiqiao nervous. Lu Rudai was a lady, but she was born in a brothel, but she was completely unable to compare with Lu Rudai. Her identity and status were as high as heaven and as underground.

Will Lu Rudai tolerate her?
Would Lu Rudai allow someone like her to enter Luo's house?
Would Luo Xin feel lonely just because Lu Rudai was not around, just play with her, and give her away when the time comes?

Thinking of this, Wang Cuiqiao was in a state of confusion.If a person has not enjoyed happiness, that's all.Because she doesn't know the taste of happiness.But once she enjoys happiness, letting her lose it will be more uncomfortable than killing her.

"Do not!

I can't leave the master, I don't want to fight for favor, as long as the master keeps me by my side. "

Wang Cuiqiao sat weakly on the chair, two lines of tears streaming down her face.After a while, he wiped away his tears, and his eyes showed firmness.

"My identity and status are not as good as Lu Rudai, so I want to become someone useful to the master, so that the master can't leave me, and I want to be the master's right-hand man. But... how do I do it?"

Besides, when Luo Xin came to the second hall, he ordered Lu Daqing to find the head of the Hangzhou Escort Bureau.He also knew very well in his heart that after Luo Ye robbed Wang Zhi's three islands, he would definitely transport some unusable treasures from Taiwan Island to the Shipping Department of Daming City in exchange for the materials they needed to build Taiwan.And these things cannot be let Mao Haifeng know, once Mao Haifeng knows, he will probably follow the clues and find Taiwan Island.Today's Taiwan Island is still in its infancy, so it may not be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of Wang Zhi's army.The best way is to develop Taiwan secretly, while Wang Zhi and Xu Hai continue to fight, it is best to let them both lose. At that time, Luo Sheng can come out to make a profit. Maybe he can conquer both sides in one fell swoop and become the sole overlord of the sea.

but……

I don't know how Xu Hai and Xin Wulang are doing now, whether they can be evenly matched with Wang Zhi, or are they beaten by Wang Zhi and flee everywhere?If you can't hurt both sides, you won't be able to achieve the effect Luo Xin needs.

If the uncle can lead some of the veterans to become people trusted by Xu Hai or Xin Wulang and join them, so that Xu Hai's strength will increase, and Wang Zhi will suffer even greater losses.

However, it is impossible for Xu Hai to trust a group of strangers.Luo Xin shook his head, feeling very headache, and at this moment, Lu Daqing brought in the head of the Escort, and Luo Xin brought him into the study, and explained his plan to him in detail.

Luo Xin's plan is very simple, that is, he will not let the materials from Taiwan Island enter the Shibo Department at all, but will secretly transport those materials away, let the Escort Bureau transport them to the north, and then write off the account there, from If it is shipped from the south to the north, although there will be more transportation and horse fees, the selling price will double or triple.The materials needed by Taiwan Island will be raised by the Shi Ship Department. Of course, some prohibited items such as ironware will be secretly delivered to the ship.

After Tang Zhuang received the news, he started working immediately. Tang Zhuang also rushed over from the capital himself, waiting for Luo Sheng to bring the things over.

this day.

Luo Xin was sitting in the second hall dealing with official documents when he saw He Nian coming in excitedly and said:
"My lord, the merchants from the feudal kingdom are here again."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "How fast are the merchants from the vassal state coming back?"

"No!" He Nian sat down and said, "It's not those merchants. It may take a year before those merchants want to come back. It's another group of merchants from the feudal kingdom. These merchants from the feudal kingdom returned to China after smuggling with the six great families last year. Now that they came from the feudal kingdom again, they should have met those merchants who left the feudal kingdom and knew about Shibosi, so they didn’t go to visit Wang Zhi this time, but came directly to Shibosi.”

"How many have you come?"

"Six or seven families, listen to them, a lot of them smuggled back from Daming, these days they should come one after another. My lord, we are waiting for the merchants from the vassal state to arrive, and we will do it together." This business, how much do you want to do?"

Luo Xin frowned slightly and thought about it. Just as He Nian was about to speak, he saw Lu Daqing walking in and said:
"Master Hou, Master Lu and the others are here."

Luo Xin and He Nian looked at each other, they both understood what the five great families were doing here, and said:

"Please!"
