The rise of the poor

"You, you, you mean to offer Chief Ma Ye to Chief Xu Hai as a stepping stone to promotion?" The Japanese pirate glanced cautiously into the house and stammered. The nervous and exciting feeling made his adrenaline surge rapidly.

Indeed, Chief Ma Ye is the biggest bargaining chip in their hands.

You said that Chief Xu Hai didn't want to annex Chief Maye? You said that Chief Xu Hai didn't want Tuo Lin to be the only one in power? !

He definitely wants to, even in his dreams.

We presented the half-dead Ma Ye Chieftain to Xu Hai. How could Xu Hai not like us? !
Is this the way out you mentioned?!

"You want to die." Upon hearing this, the trusted Japanese pirate glared at him hard and snorted heavily.

"What do you mean? Isn't this what you meant?" The Japanese pirate was confused at first, and then immediately became angry.

"Are you fucking interesting? At this point, you still want to pretend that you are the confidant of the Ma Ye leader, and that you are the most loyal. Didn't you just say that Ma Ye is the biggest bargaining chip in our hands? Are you sick?"

The trusted Japanese pirate patted the other pirate's shoulder gently, signaling him to be patient, and then explained with a serious face.

"Brother, listen to me. We are looking for a way out, not a dead end. If we offer Chief Ma Ye to Chief Xu Hai, he will turn around and kill us 'betrayers'. If Chief Xu Hai does not kill us, it will encourage the trend of 'betraying the master'. Who knows if any of his confidants will follow our example and ask Qiu Rong for help to betray Chief Xu Hai?! How can Chief Xu Hai tolerate such a situation? Therefore, he will definitely kill us to 'pay tribute' to Chief Ma Ye and take the opportunity to win people's hearts."

"Brother, the way the people sitting up there see things is different from the way we see things."

After hearing this, the Japanese pirate nodded with a look of fear on his face, "That makes sense, that makes sense. We really can't offer Chief Ma Ye to Chief Xu Hai. That would be courting death."

"But if we don't offer it to Chief Xu Hai, who can we offer it to? To Prince Hui Wang Zhi?"

The Japanese pirate was at a loss again.

The trusted Japanese pirate shook his head upon hearing this and said slowly: "What does the King of Hui want Chief Ma Ye for? Chief Ma Ye is half dead now, what value does he have to the King of Hui. Moreover, if we betray our master, the King of Hui, Wang Zhi, will do the same as Chief Xu Hai and will turn around and execute us to avoid encouraging the trend of betrayal."

"That Ma Ye leader is not our biggest bargaining chip, he is clearly our death warrant! No matter which group of pirates we offer him to, we will inevitably be executed. Do you think he is our death warrant?!"

The Japanese pirate glared.

This is not a price tag, it's clearly a death warrant!
"Chief Ma Ye is our biggest bargaining chip. If we want to offer him an advantage, we must offer the right person." The trusted Japanese pirate said meaningfully.

"Who else can we vote for? No matter which group of pirates we vote for, we will inevitably be executed."

Which Japanese pirate really couldn't think of who to present it to.

"I say, no matter what you hear, don't get too excited and don't disturb the people in the house." The trusted Japanese pirate reminded before speaking.

"You said, I'm prepared." The Japanese pirate nodded, took a deep breath, and waited for his trusted Japanese pirate to reveal the answer.

"Southside."

The trusted Japanese pirate pointed his chin towards the south.

"Prince Hui?" The pirate was stunned for a moment. "Didn't we just say that we can't surrender to Prince Hui Wang Zhi? Chief Ma Ye is very important to Chief Xu Hai, but not so important to Prince Hui. Prince Hui has so many talented people under his command that Chief Ma Ye may not even be ranked. Besides, Chief Ma Ye is half dead now. In addition, as we just said, Prince Hui Wang Zhi will also execute those of us who betray our master to avoid a bad example."

"You are wrong. I am not talking about Prince Hui Wang Zhi." The trusted Japanese pirate shook his head.

"It's not Prince Hui Wang Zhi?" The pirate was stunned and asked in bewilderment, "Who else could it be?"

"Remember what I said just now, don't get too excited." The trusted Japanese pirate reminded him again before speaking.

"Okay, I've remembered it and I'm ready. Tell us the answer quickly." The Japanese pirate urged impatiently.

You've been talking so much for such a long time, but the answer is still not revealed. You really are a good procrastinator.

"Okay, I told you, the person I want to join is in Zhejiang," the trusted Japanese pirate said slowly.

"Prince Hui's power is also outside Zhejiang. He is also in Jiangnan? Who is it?" The Japanese pirate racked his brains to think.

"He is Zhu Ping'an, the governor of Zhejiang!" the trusted Japanese pirate said slowly.

"Who?! Who are you talking about?!"

The Japanese pirate couldn't hold it anymore and cried out in disbelief, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Shh! Keep your voice down." The trusted Japanese pirate nervously wanted to cover the other pirate's mouth.

"What's going on outside? The pursuers are here." A Japanese pirate's uncomfortable voice came from the house, with some tension, and then a clanging sound was heard.

"Ahem, it's nothing. There are no pursuers. I just told a ghost story to scare this coward."

The trusted Japanese pirate quickly answered loudly.

"You're sick. How can you still be in the mood to tell ghost stories at this time?" The Japanese pirate in the room cursed and turned over uncomfortably.

Just now he heard a cry of "Who?" and thought that there were pursuers coming. He was so scared that he quickly stood up and tried to run, but he was so weak that he fell down as soon as he stood up. So when he heard people outside telling ghost stories, he couldn't help but curse in anger.

You bastard, you still have the mood to tell ghost stories at this time? It’s not just that I fell down, I was so scared that I wet my pants.

"Didn't I just remind you not to get too excited no matter what I say? Why are you still making a fuss?"

The trusted Japanese pirates outside frowned.

"Don't you think about what you said? I was already trying hard to control myself." The Japanese pirate said unhappily.

"Coward." The trusted Japanese pirate sneered.

"I'm not a coward. I've killed people like crazy without even blinking an eye." The Japanese pirate said unconvinced.

"That's why you were so frightened just now." The trusted Japanese pirate curled his lips.

"You said you wanted to surrender to the Governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Ping'an. But the Governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Ping'an, just killed most of our 5,000 soldiers. How many of us could escape alive?! We went through untold hardships and finally managed to escape from the clutches of Zhu Ping'an. You actually said you wanted to surrender to Zhu Ping'an, the killer of the Japanese. You are courting death. Your brain is not used to running away. You hit your head against a tree and pretended to be stupid." The Japanese pirate couldn't bear it any longer and scolded his trusted Japanese pirate.

Now, whenever he heard the three words "Zhu Ping'an", he subconsciously got goose bumps on his back!
This idiot actually wants us to go and join Zhu Ping'an together!
It's really like an old man who hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long! (End of this chapter)
