The rise of the poor

Chapter 2056 Before leaving, it’s not too much to borrow something
After the two Japanese pirates reached an agreement, they went into the room and did not seek the opinions of other Japanese pirates, but instead notified them.

"What? We're going to seek refuge with the Governor of Zhejiang Province, Zhu Ping'an? Are you kidding me? We just escaped death, and now we're going to die again?!"

"Oh my god, are you crazy?! If you want to die, go ahead and do it. I won't go."

The two Japanese pirates who were still conscious in the room were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and screamed like they had lost their parents.

"I'll just ask you once. We are going to seek refuge with the Governor of Zhejiang Province, Zhu Ping'an. Do you want to go with us?"

The trusted Japanese pirate was too lazy to explain and asked again.

"You surrendered to Zhu Ping'an. Are you going to betray your master and seek glory? Are you offering the chieftain of Ma Ye to Zhu Ping'an in exchange for wealth and glory?"

"You are crazy! Zhu Ping'an will execute us together and take it as his military achievement."

The two Japanese pirates who were still sober finally reacted at this time, and were shocked and asked in disbelief.

"I just want to ask you whether you will go or not?" the trusted Japanese pirate repeated again.

"You are really crazy. This is courting death. If you want to go, you go. We won't go." The two Japanese pirates shook their heads.

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. If you don't want to go, that's fine. However, we have been pirates for so long, and we have been through life and death together. Before we leave, it's not too much to ask you to lend me something, right?"

The trusted Japanese pirate curled the corner of his mouth and said slowly, it was as if an old friend asked you to borrow something before leaving.

"Of course, as long as we have it, you can take it if you want."

Upon hearing this, the two Japanese pirates nodded without hesitation, fearing that their trusted pirates would change their minds. For them, at this moment, as long as they were not allowed to follow Zhu Ping'an to die, they would do anything.

It’s just borrowing something, take it, take it.

"Thank you, we will remember your kindness all our lives." The trusted Japanese pirate grinned.

"Why are you being so polite? Oh, by the way, what do you want to borrow from us? Money for the journey?"

The two Japanese pirates waved their hands weakly, and then asked curiously. Although they were reluctant to give up the silver, they still said that as long as they were not allowed to follow Zhu Ping'an to die, the silver was nothing.

Besides, they don’t have any money on them. They are poorer than beggars now and don’t have a penny.

This time, we weren't even able to loot yet, but we were ambushed by the Zhejiang Army led by Zhu Ping'an. There were explosions and arson, and all our weapons were lost. We don't have a penny left. If you want to borrow some money from me, I can't help you.

"I'm not borrowing money for the journey, I'm borrowing yours," the trusted Japanese pirate said as he slowly walked towards them, and gave a look to the Japanese pirates he had made an appointment with as he walked.

The Japanese pirates understood what he meant and slowly walked towards the two pirates.

"If it's not money for the journey, then what are you borrowing?" The two Japanese pirates were puzzled. What else do we have that is worth borrowing?

"I'll take your heads and use them!" The trusted Japanese pirate came behind the Japanese pirate and replied indifferently.

"Oh, you want to lend us your brains, then wait, what did you say, you want to lend us your brains?!"

The Japanese pirate suddenly reacted as he was speaking. He turned his head in panic and looked at the trusted Japanese pirate in disbelief.

"Yes, that's right. I just want to borrow your heads." The trusted Japanese pirate said, and stretched out his hand to hold the head of a Japanese pirate. Then, under the panicked look and weak struggle of the Japanese pirate, he took his head and turned it 180 degrees. With a "click", the whole person was quiet.

At almost the same time, another Japanese pirate also had his neck broken, ending their sinful lives.

"Why not take them with you?" the pirate asked his trusted pirate after taking action.

"Such a great achievement should be shared by the two of us. If there are two more people, the credit will be diluted."

The trusted Japanese pirate said slowly.

The Japanese pirate couldn't help but look alert, muttering in his heart, "You don't want to share such a great achievement with them, so would you like to keep it all for yourself? Just like you got rid of them, do you also secretly get rid of me?"

"What are you thinking about? If I get rid of them, not only will I not get enough credit, but they have become a burden. Both of them can't walk. We have to carry Chief Ma Ye and them, and we have to hide and ensure our safety. Do you think we can do it?" The trusted Japanese pirate saw the vigilance of the other Japanese pirate and hurriedly explained.

The Japanese pirate nodded slightly, but his eyes were still somewhat alert and he had not completely eliminated his vigilance.

"What are you thinking? If I wanted to enjoy it all by myself, why would I explain so much to you outside? Can't I just do it when you are not paying attention? Look at the situation of Chief Ma Ye. It takes at least two people to carry him. I can't take it all by myself even if I want to." The trusted Japanese pirate continued to explain, and then swore, "I can swear to heaven that this credit cannot be shared by two people. If anyone violates this, heaven will strike him with five thunders and his body will be torn to pieces."

"Ahem, I was overthinking it." The Japanese pirate coughed and his guard and doubts were gone.

He was right. Chief Ma Ye was delirious due to the fever and couldn't move. If they wanted to take him away, they would need at least a stretcher and two people to carry him. It couldn't be done by one person alone.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time and effort to convince me.

But the situations of these two people were different. Although they were conscious, they were still very sick and could not stand.

Even if I wanted to take them with me to join Zhu Ping'an, I could only carry them.

Chief Ma Ye wanted to carry it, and the other two also wanted to carry it, but it was impossible. How could the two of us carry three people?

Therefore, whether they agree to go to Zhu Ping'an together or not, Zhu Ping'an cannot take them with him.

As for not taking them with you, leaving them here to fend for themselves, or letting them return to their old nest in Tuo Lin?
Are you kidding? How is that possible? We are betraying our master and taking Chief Ma Ye to seek refuge with Zhu Ping'an. This must be kept secret.

If the secret is leaked, you will lose your head.

If Chief Xu Hai got the news, he would not sit idly by and watch such betrayal happen. Even if he would be happy to see Chief Ma Ye being taken to be offered to Zhu Ping'an, he would definitely send people to hunt us down and kill Chief Ma Ye and put the blame on us.

As for the Zhejiang Army in the south, if they want to join Zhu Ping'an, they must also pay attention to concealment and safety. Who knows if the Zhejiang Army who discovers us will be greedy for credit, kill us, and kidnap the leader of Ma Ye to report the merit and get the reward? No one can say for sure.

When surrendering to Zhu Ping'an, one must also pay attention to the timing and occasion, at least in public, to declare one's identity and intention to surrender to Zhu Ping'an, and to sit back and watch the fact that Xian Ma Ye surrendered to Zhu Ping'an, so that they cannot kill and silence him to steal the credit.
Therefore, these two people must die, there is no choice.
