On Snake Island, there are rugged rocks and snakes still walking. And halfway up the mountain, there is an open land with an area of ​​nearly a hundred feet. In front of it is a cliff with a hundred meters. Under the cliff is a surging sea water and hideous reefs. Only a small path leads from the bottom of the mountain to the half mountain. On both sides of the mountain road, there are thorns, and poisonous snakes run around, hissing and spitting out their cores. At the end, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Instead, there is a steep mountain wall on one side of the open ground. Above the mountain wall, there is a stone cave that is naturally formed. The entrance of the stone cave can only allow three people to enter and exit, and the interior is even more profound and tortuous. It is the cave in and out of the headquarters of the Pirate Sea Snake Gang of Snake Island.

The cave is not as humid as people think, but rather very dry. Torches and oil lamps are inserted on all sides of the mountain walls, and dry straw is also covered with vents, and fresh mountain winds are constantly pouring in.

At this moment, in the cave of one of the branches, several men were sitting around the ground drinking and talking.

"Brother, Lord Jose is full of sincerity. And Lord Uesugi passed by this last time, and as long as Jose promised us to be independent of the coalition, he could submit to them and assist them in controlling this sea area, why are you hesitating? If you annoy the Westerners, it will be difficult to deal with." A man with a pockmarked face said loudly.

"Master He Gang, what are you saying? Cooperating with the Westerners is like making a fuck with a tiger? Please think about who Jose is? The Western 6 fox is cunning and must pay attention to maximizing interests in everything he does. Is it so easy to join him? Moreover, Jose sent people several times, but he only surrendered and made us a united army, but he did not mention the issue of food, grass and supplies after the incorporation. Moreover, I heard that after the Xianbei tribes surrendered to the Westerners, they were always used as cannon fodder. If this is the case, our pirates would have no foundation.

Now, there are no benefits but you still want to be cannon fodder. It is better to continue to be pirates and be free and easy. Brother, don’t you say that you just made a promise to Uesugi from the East Wah ten years ago? And you have to be enemies of the Empire again for that promise? We are outlaws, and we have finally established ourselves and protect our own side. Why not be subject to the rule of others? I don’t accept this kind of bird aura... What’s more... What’s more, no matter how good the East Wah is and how strong the coalition forces are, we will eventually be the people of the Empire. What we have left is the blood of the Empire..." said a young man with a cold face.

"Cao, Chen family, what do you mean? Do you want your elder brother to be a loyal person? I have long seen that you have a backbone behind your head, but now you are talking for the Empire? Do you still want to surrender to the Empire?" Na He Lao San said angrily.

"The big right and wrong have not yet been distinguished, and I am still talking about Xinyi? Is it true that you are willing to be a dog slave of the Eastern Japanese and serve the Westerners again? "The young man said angrily.

"Enough, you all stop talking!" A man in the middle, with a burnt-faced, not tall, but extremely strong man shouted. It was Huang Yishan, the leader of the Sea Snake Gang.

"The envoys who came this time are no longer as usual. They are representatives of Western Popes. Jose is a soldier and can give us some time. If those religious madmen do not answer them correctly, they will definitely destroy us with all their might." Huang Yishan said.

"The Han soldiers can't do anything to us, what can they do?" With the gesture of He Laosan's eyes, another leader stood up and said disdainfully.

"The Han soldiers can't do anything to us because of Uesugi and the so-called Eastern Japanese pirates. Moreover, there are people in the empire who don't want us to fail so quickly, so the soldiers are not trying their best. But Jose is different. He will immediately lead the troops south and cannot leave a tail behind him. So we either are willing to serve the Westerners as cannon fodder that will die with their eyes and be intimidated for thousands of years, or wait for them to attack Snake Island. This time, Uesugi was still busy negotiating with the empire in the imperial capital, and the Eastern Japanese pirates basically fought with the Han soldiers in Zhenhai, and no one can help us anymore." The young man with a cold face explained.

"Well, Qinghou is right. The messenger this time was said to be sent by the Pope himself, and it was very different from the previous few times. It was not easy to pass by. They were arrogant and arrogant when they were trying to deal with the Eastern Japanese. However, if they were planning to deal with Jose or the Pope, they would be more sinister and crazy than the other, and they had to act carefully." Huang Yishan said frowningly.

"Gangmaster, the ship of the coalition envoy has arrived." A pirate shouted.

"Come on the way, this guy is not easy to deal with. I'll be honest with me later. Qinghou, you are the best brains here. Please help me more later." Huang Yishan said to the cold young man.

"Yes." The cold young man replied.

"Pretending, what's the matter?" He Laosan, who was standing beside him, looked angry.

~~~~~~~~

The atmosphere inside the cave was very strange. Among a group of ferocious pirates, a man wearing a black Western monk's robe, a black dome monk's hat, a golden cross hanging on his chest, and a silver mask on his face stood upright.

"Hello, my gang leader, may my God bless you." Although the man was dressed as a monk, the black eyes exposed on the edge of the hat and the black eyes behind the mask, as well as the fluent imperial mandarin and the pirates he himself called Mr. Tian, ​​from these judgments, he turned from the empire.

"Fake foreign devil." Several leaders cursed in their hearts.

"Sir. The wind is strong and the waves are strong. Can you be safe all the way?" Huang Yishan, the leader of the Haiser Gang, said respectfully, but the creeping words were a bit strange when he said them.

"Thank you, the leader of the Huang Gang, I met a few pirates who were blind on the way. I wanted to break them to pieces, but these little pirates were very clever. When I heard about the title of my coalition, I surrendered and surrendered to the army." Mr. Tian said with a smile.

"You guy, so rude!" a man couldn't help but say.

Mr. Tian said this very skillfully. He was obviously answering the question of the pirate leader named Huang, but in fact he was to remind the other party of the current affairs and quickly surrender to the Western coalition forces, otherwise the corpse would be gone.

"Haha, Tian has always regarded himself as a gentleman. He asked himself that he was polite to several gang leaders, but I saw that he delayed it all in every possible way. Is this what you are waiting for? I have always heard that those who know the times are heroes, and it is the most unwise behavior to rush to the car. What's more, Lord Uesugi of the East Japanese has a lot of contact with our coalition forces. Why do you guys be those who are untrustful and unrighteous?" Mr. Tian smiled, and his words were even more like a lobbyist of the empire, rather than a Western monk.

"Mr. Tian is very eloquent. I thought the Lord God would only let you speak for blessings? But I thought that the little pirate was helpless, so of course I had to surrender casually. We were surrounded by pirates and there were natural dangers of thousands of snakes. The so-called good birds chose wood to live in. Uesugi used me to wait for the outpost to send troops, and there were still hundreds of ships and tens of stones to help. Over the past ten years, I have provided countless supplies. This is to treat each other with sincerity. We can choose wood. But wood cannot bear birds? Mr. Tian was smart, but he did not come with a so-called agreement. Wouldn't it be a fool of me without wisdom?" The young man with a cold appearance stood up and said. His words were very sharp.

"I dare to ask who is the name of this little brother? Why have I never seen him a few times?" Mr. Tian said calmly, but he was amazed in his heart. A small pirate nest actually had such a good person, and he said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not reveal any water.

"I am the name Chen Chong, the name is Qinghou, which made Mr. Tian laugh." The young man clasped his fists and his expression was free and open.

"So this person is Chen Qinghou, the think tank of the Sea Snake Gang they mentioned? Unfortunately, such a person is a pirate... Empire, Empire, are you going to miss this kind of talent?" Mr. Tian sighed in his heart.

Before he came to Snake Island, he did his homework and used nearby fishermen and the information collected by the past to understand the main situation of several leaders of the Sea Snake Gang.

"Brother Chen, I see you are also a person who understands the truth. You should know that if you do not agree to the request of the coalition forces today, it would be fine if Lord Jose is unhappy. If the Pope gets angry, immediately fight for the Snake Island. Little brother, you are generous now, but do you think you can support it without the restraint and support of the Eastern Japanese? Even if you are all heroes who stand up for themselves, don't you consider the family members of the island?" Mr. Tian continued to glance at the people in the cave with his eyes.

"Well, Mr. Tian is right. Gangmaster, we don't consider ourselves, we should also consider these old brothers and wives, children." He Laosan hurriedly took the opportunity to speak out.

"This..." Huang Yishan hesitated. Today is different from the past. There are thousands of families behind the Sea Snake Gang being dragged down.

"Mr. Tian is threatening us?" Chen Chong said disdainfully.

"Okay, Mr. Qing, listen to Mr. Tian." The pirate leader Huang Yishan shouted.

When He Laosan, who was standing beside him, glared at Chen Chong proudly when he heard this.

"I believe that all the leaders are people who know how to advance and retreat. I will wait here for three days and there will be no results in three days. I will be helpless." Mr. Tian said.

"Well, we will consider Mr. Tian's suggestion carefully. Please come back, sir." Huang Yishan said with a smile on his face.

"This third brother He Guangting is really greedy for life and death, but Chen Chong is a stubborn person who has eaten the weight. But after all, it is hard to support himself. It will be a matter of time before the Snake Island returns to the West?" Mr. Tian said in his heart, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.

"Brother, this fake foreigner named Tian obviously doesn't want to get benefits, so we have to do our best." After Mr. Tian was taken down by the pirates, Chen Chong still said indignantly.

"That's right, but now people are under the eaves, what can we do?" Huang Yishan sighed.

"Yes, since you don't advocate surrendering to the Westerners, then you have an idea to save the whole island? You just say beautiful words, but lead your brothers to die. Who can't do such a thing? Moreover, Lord Uesugi has left words, and now he doesn't have the energy to care about us. We will surrender to the coalition forces. What if we drink and eat meat with them?" said the third son of Nahe.

"You, you should make a long-term plan for this matter!" Chen Chong shouted.

"If you don't want to drink and eat meat, just die by yourself. Why bother to implicate your brothers? I've also made a long-term plan. I'm afraid that after you have decided, we'll be on the snake island." He Laosan also said angrily.

"Drinking alcohol? Eating meat? I'm afraid that in the end we will drink our blood and our meat." Chen Chong said disdainfully.

"Chen Chong, don't forget how your father who died early went. He was killed by the Han soldiers. If the Huang Gang Master had not adopted you, you would have been a prisoner at the ranks! You are a pirate, and you will never be able to escape the pirate's roots in your life. You are always thinking about the empire. I think if you really return to the empire with you, you won't know how to die!" He Laosan roared.
