That morning, Gongsun Su held a small banquet to celebrate the fact that his negotiation with Sheng Lanci had come to an end.
Since Sheng Lanci did not want her daughter to show up in the pirate den, none of the female family members attended the small banquet, but Xu Baomo was invited.
It turned out that Prince Xu was smiling when he sat down at the table, he was reserved and approachable, and fully demonstrated the demeanor that a noble son from a wealthy background and a good upbringing should have - but no!
When he saw a basin full of fried sea melon seeds specially placed in front of him, Xu Baomo had a thought in his mind: How much money is Gongsun Su's head... worth
However, Sheng Lanci didn't know what was going on, and was deliberately hurting the heart of the young man who coveted his daughter. Seeing this, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip, stroked his short beard, and said with a smile: " Dear nephew, I didn’t expect that I like to eat plum clams. Why didn’t I mention it when I was in Shengfu? Although Nanfeng County does not have the convenience of Tortoiseshell Island, it is still close to the sea. It is not difficult to prepare that dish for me. . If Gongsun Haizhu hadn’t specifically ordered that dish to be placed in front of me, Shibo wouldn’t even know if my nephew would be out of town!”
Xu Baomo: I really want to flip the table! ! !
Fortunately, the news that Prince Ningwei was fond of eating sea melon seeds did not spread much on the island.
That's not because everyone is wrong about Xu Baomo, an outsider, who is not interested, but because - Tortoiseshell Island is asking for a counterattack!
This decision was made jointly by Gongsun Su and Sheng Lanci.
Gongsun Su had long wanted to counterattack, but Sheng Lanci was eager to rescue his niece.
The two dongli had the same goal, and it took little effort to reach an agreement: Sheng Lanci paid for the supplies, and bribed the imperial navy on the shore to provide foreign aid at critical moments: Yuan Sunsu then used the butcher's knife to clean up the door, so that Tortoiseshell Island would become the island from now on. There is a voice.
Both of them were people who walked the talk. After the negotiation, they started the intensive and bloody preparations separately.
In just a few months, the war ships that covered the sky and the moon gathered outside the harbor on the left side of the island. Looking at the dazzling array of masts, Cui Wei looked murderous.
"Little brother, leave the family to me." Because Sheng Sleeping Crane was seriously injured and Wuyi Camp had suffered all casualties, it was difficult to form an organization and could not play the role of the sharp sword of the past. Gongsun Su could not personally take part in this battle.
In fact, he was clearly capable of hacking to death all the uncles who ordered Bronze Legs, but he didn't want to delay the execution until those two months - he was the only son of Old Master Gongsun of the Sea, and there was no one like Sheng Sleeping Crane. He was a sworn brother who was very capable and killable inside and out, so when Old Master Gongsun was around, all the dangerous missions that should be handled by Shao Hai were blocked by Sheng Suihe.
Of course Gongsun, the old sea master, knew that doing so would make Gongsun Su unable to achieve a decent record and thus be unable to suppress the vicious bandits on Tortoiseshell Island.
The old sea master of Bu Nao has always been strong and strong. He thinks that the moon is long, and he can cultivate his son little by little, so that his son can take over his position smoothly. Unexpectedly, Han Pan suddenly attacked, and the old sea master He didn't even wait for his son to be full-fledged before he fought to the death.
Under such circumstances, the reigning Gongsun Su was not only questioned by his uncles, but actually even the ordinary pirates distrusted him.
Therefore, before getting the full support of Sheng Lanci, Gongsun Su did not dare to touch those uncles, but he could not.
The reason is very simple: even if he killed his uncle and gathered their power and subordinates, Gongsun Su would still be unable to counterattack Han Pan and could still hold on to the island.
We all know what the people on the island will think: "The new sea lord himself has neither the ability nor the courage to do anything with Han Pan, and he killed all the old people, so why don't you lead us to be turtle bastards on Tortoiseshell Island for the rest of our lives!?" "
After all, most of the pirates didn't know that those who were fighting for power with Gongsun Su actually had no power to lead a counterattack.
Even if they knew that in the fear and anxiety of being besieged, they would consciously choose to anger Gongsun Su, thinking that he was jealous of others, and killed the old people who might be able to lead everyone through the difficulties, causing everyone to fall into this state. You can get to the point where you can't get out.
So Gongsun Su left those uncles alone - so that even if someone complained that the person in charge was not up to par, a group of uncles would accompany him to be scolded, and the hatred would not be concentrated on him alone.
Now that he had the support of Sheng Lanci, the counterattack was promising. He sent his uncles on the road again and hoped for a big victory. Then he could naturally tell his leg master: "No, this sea master is helpless, or those uncles are too stupid to cause trouble." !”
Then, by stepping on the corpses and posthumous names of his uncles, Gongsun Su can secure his position as Lord of the Sea and get rid of the impression of being "not as good as the old Lord of the Sea"!
So at this moment, Sheng Suihe is seriously injured and is not suitable for fighting. Even if he is good, Gongsun Su will leave him to look after the house.
Of course, Sheng Suihe is not the only one who is looking after his house now - Gongsun Su warned his sworn brother and then turned to Sheng Lanci, "I am young, I hope that Sanren can take care of me more!"
Sheng Lanci, whose courtesy name is Xinzhang, lived in Nanfeng County for the rest of his life after becoming an official, and named himself Nanfeng Sanren.
In fact, that number was specifically named after the Gongsun family. After all, as Sheng Lanci, he could openly communicate with the Gongsun family. The two parties had very close personal contacts, so they had to have a name. I made that account specially to hide it from others.
Hearing this, he nodded slightly: "Sea Lord doesn't have to worry about the rear, he and his son are responsible for everything!"
To the sound of war drums beaten by Gongsun Su himself, hundreds of ships sailed out of the harbor and disappeared between the waves of the sky. Sheng Sleeping Crane and Sheng Lanci watched on until no more sails could be seen before leading people back to the courtyard where the meeting was held.
"I'm very injured. If you have anything to do, just come here for your father." On the way, Sheng Lan resigned and Sheng Suihe said with concern, "Anyway, the east fleet just left with the baggage, and the island has just been cleaned. I want to come. There’s nothing urgent, why don’t I take this opportunity to rest and recuperate for a few months?”
Hearing this, Sheng Suihe glanced at him with a half-smile, and said teasingly: "He has nothing to do, but daddy doesn't seem to have any leisure time either?"
"What?" Sheng Lanci was slightly startled.
"In the past two months, my eldest brother was cleaning up the house. He could have found a reason to detain my sister in Ying Jiang's yard and hide it from her." Sheng Suihe reminded with a smile, "But just now the fleet left the port to the sound of war drums. Then The whole Tortoiseshell Island could hear the noise. Even if my sister has some guesses, why don't she ask her father to find out?"
Sheng Lanci suddenly realized it and patted his head: I had been so dizzy for the past two days that I actually forgot that I had a daughter begging for help!
Dangdong no longer cared about his son, and hurriedly went to find Sheng Weiqiao after a few words of warning.
Looking at his hurried back, Gongsun Xi, who was following Sheng Sleeping Crane, felt very unsatisfied: "That charming young lady is kept on the island with good food and drink all day long, and the sea master's sons and daughters personally accompany her in and out." , even if you have doubts, what’s the big deal? Maybe the leader is seriously injured and has not yet recovered, so when he can seriously ask for someone’s concern, Mr. Shanda is too biased!”
"How do I want him to care about him?" Sheng Suihe smiled faintly and asked, "If he is a 'good boy', he will greet him, or move a stool to the couch and kiss his legs to feed him. Medicine, Yongwanzhe, can you tell him a folklore story, and then praise him for being smart and ruthless, saying he is one of the best good boys in the world?"
Gongsun Xi: “…”
He imagined those situations in his mind, especially when he thought about the scene when Sheng Lanci touched Sheng Suihe's head with kindness and praised him for being good, Gongsun Xi slapped him in the face and then calmed down. When he came to his senses and saw Sheng Suihe looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but tremble!
Swallowing his saliva, he laughed dryly and said, "Chief, if he just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"
The Sheng family's father and daughter didn't know about the little incident between their master and servant.
"So, the Gongsun family has already gone to war?" At that time, Sheng Weiqiao had just heard his father's explanation, excluding the explanation of the cruel and bloody acts he had done with Gongsun Su. The girl's eyebrows were as light as a green feather. She frowned slightly, her porcelain-red skin glowing faintly in the early summer sunshine. There was a sense of holiness that was not in this world in her beauty. She worriedly said, "They will definitely be able to rescue Xiao Qiao and the third sister, right? Daddy." ?”
Sheng Lan Ci Ci said harshly: "Of course that's true, so don't worry, dear girl. In a few months, daddy will be able to take us four brothers and sisters home!"
Otherwise, in fact, Sheng Lanci did not hold out much hope as to whether Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao could be brought back alive.
Lord, the battlefield is ever-changing. Those two weak women, both of whom are weak, have little hope of survival even if they have special status.
But Sheng Lanci had nothing to do. It was true that he had never negotiated with the Han family to release him, and the conditions he offered became more generous every time. The last offer has already cost most of the Sheng family's property. If the Han family agrees, it means that Sheng Lanci's nearly twenty years of hard work will be in vain!
As an uncle and an uncle, Sheng Lanci thought that he had done his best. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Lanxin and Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Lansi may not be willing to agree to such conditions. After all, they have many other children to look after, so how can they sacrifice their family's future and status for a daughter
-However, because Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao killed Young Master Han, the Han family insisted on begging to hand over the two brothers and sisters before releasing them. How could Sheng Lanci agree to such conditions? !
Not only did she not agree, but she completely aroused Sheng Lan's desire to kill the Han family!
Before Gongsun Su went into battle this time, he had already privately hinted to the young sea master: Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao could give up when necessary, but the Han family's main character, especially those who were closely related to Young Master Han, must die. !
After all, if there is truth or not, there will be a thousand months to be a thief, and there will be no thousand months to guard against thieves.
Sheng Lanci didn't want her son or daughter to have any hidden dangers in the future!
In comparison, nieces and nephews can be regarded as abandoned children.
Sheng Lanci didn't feel guilty or guilty at all for making that decision. He had done his best, and he didn't owe Sheng Lanxin or Sheng Lansi anything. Why should he sacrifice his own flesh and blood in exchange for the safety of their children? nothing? !
Bu Nao considered her daughter's innocence and Sheng Lanci was afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would feel guilty when she found out about this, so she naturally would not tell her.
At this moment, he made a perfunctory remark and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the one who held the Mo child was blamed. Although our family is not acquainted with the Xu family and we don't say anything to each other, I can treat him as my same father and brother in the future. You should respect your mother as much as your own brother!"
Sheng Lanci actually had very sinister intentions when she said that: Didn't the boy from the Xu family have an idea for his daughter
I just guided my good girl to treat me as my biological brother!
Thinking of Xu Baomo's hard work in the future to please his daughter, and conscientious efforts to make her happy, one day, he thought it was all done, and expressed his love to Sheng Weiqiao affectionately - and his sweet girl's face widened in surprise. Xingziyan: "Can he always regard Brother Shi as his real brother?"
Do you really feel happy just thinking about it
Sheng Lanci smiled lovingly at her daughter and snorted in her heart: "You are so young and you want to fight with me?"
A good thirteen-year-old girl, the guardian of flowers, just needs to have a biological father!
Brother Shi, if you dare to snatch that job, you must cheat! Pit it hard! Dig into death! ! !
Sheng Lanci was immersed in the fantasy of seeing the scene of Xu Baomo grieving and fighting for his life, when Sheng Weiqiao flipped the tea bowl in front of him, stared at the tea soup for a while, and finally raised his head: "Dad, let's talk about my wife...does he call Sheng Suihe? Is he your biological child?"
