The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The two warships actually defeated 17 warships and even sank 7 of them. Such strength was simply terrifying. They couldn't believe it was true.

When Jiang Fan's warship approached them, Zhang Tong and others came to their senses. They looked at each other and hurriedly drove the warship to meet them.

The distance between the two warships was not close, but not far either. Zhang Tong ordered the flag signal sailors on the ship to signal.

Now, he is completely sure that the two warships in front of him are the Dayan Navy, and the man on the warship who claims to be the King of Qin is definitely not a fake!

After all, who else except the King of Qin could possess such a terrifying weapon? In other words, what they had heard before was true!

When the sailors on Jiang Fan's side saw the flag signals from the other side, they quickly conveyed the information to Jiang Fan. When they heard that the other party was willing to take him to the Chongming bandit base, Jiang Fan asked someone to reply to the message.

Immediately, Zhang Tong and others were in front, and Jiang Fan and others' warships were behind, heading forward.

"Father, should we tell King Qin the truth? If we return to Chongming Island, if something happens, I'm afraid..." Zhang Zhengwei looked at his father Zhang Tongdao beside him.

Following his words, several people beside him nodded.

When Zhang Tong heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. He looked at the warship behind him with hesitation.

"If I tell King Qin the truth, will he choose to turn around and leave and no longer care about our affairs? If he helps, then this matter will definitely be accomplished, but..."

At the end, he stopped talking, his eyes full of struggle.

"Father, since the King of Qin is here to find us, there is no way he won't care about our affairs. If we choose to conceal it, once this matter is exposed, I'm afraid we will lose trust in each other. If he turns around and leaves, or if something unexpected happens, we will be blamed!"

Zhang Zhengwei said hurriedly, he looked at his father and nodded heavily, with some anxiety in his eyes.

When Zhang Tong heard this, his eyes flashed and finally a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Okay... Then tell King Qin about this. If he is unwilling to help, it will be our Chongming bandits' fault."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhengwei quickly asked someone to launch the boat, and at the same time, he and his father got on the boat.

The small boat was lowered from the deck and moved towards Jiang Fan's large ship. At the same time, they also signaled Jiang Fan with flags.

After the sailor told Jiang Fan that Zhang Tong wanted to meet, Jiang Fan was slightly stunned. For a moment he couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do, but he had a vague feeling that this trip to Chongming Island might not be smooth.

When the boat from the opposite side came over here, Jiang Fan had someone lower the rope ladder and bring the two people onto the warship.

Zhang Tong and Zhang Zhengwei came onto the giant ship. When they saw the brand new ship, the cannons on it, and the fully armed crew members, a solemn look appeared on their faces.

Compared to their warships, the warship in front of them was not only exquisitely made, but also very strong. The most important thing was the spikes on the bow, which made people feel terrified.

There are also various defensive facilities and offensive weapons built on the warships, which fascinate them. If they own one of such a warship, they will be invincible on the sea!

In their fascination, they were brought to Jiang Fan and saw him standing there, emitting an invisible aura. Even the two who had met Jiang Fan once were impressed by his demeanor.

After knowing Jiang Fan's true identity, they became even more respectful to him. They both bowed quickly.

"Zhang Tong and Zhang Zhengwei greet the prince!"

Jiang Fan looked at the pair of Chongming bandit leaders who looked very similar, and guessed their identities. At the same time, he raised his hand and said to them, "No need to be polite, I wonder why you two came to see me!"

Zhang Tong and Zhang Zhengwei stood up and looked at each other. Zhang Zhengwei opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Tong took a deep breath and spoke first:

"Your Highness, I've come here to tell you about the current situation of our Chongming thieves. We dare not deceive Your Highness." Having said this, Zhang Tong knelt down, his eyes full of anxiety.

Zhang Zhengwei, who was standing by, saw this scene and had a complicated expression on his face. He sighed.

"Get up. If you have anything to say, tell me slowly..." Jiang Fan looked at Zhang Tong and suddenly understood something. It was just as he guessed. It might be difficult to enter Chongming Island.

Zhang Tong stood up after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, my Chongming Pirates are now facing a crisis of division. This matter has to start with the dispute over the successor to the island master."

"The Chongming Bandits were originally created by the old boss. The old boss has been active on Chongming Island for decades. But eight years ago, the old boss had a conflict with the Skeleton Bandits and Typhoid Fever, and the ship was destroyed and everyone died."

"Before the old master passed away, he used flag signals to select his successor. All the brothers who escaped back knew about this...but..."

Zhang Tong explained the current situation on Chongming Island, and Jiang Fan also gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation on Chongming Island.

Before his death, the old master passed the position to his adopted son, Lu Wentian, the current owner of Chongming Island. But the old friends who had worked hard with the old master did not accept Lu Wentian.

However, due to the old master's last words, they chose to remain silent. However, those old guys relied on their seniority and always opposed the new island owner, and the conflict between the two sides deepened.

Now, they have pulled in the old island owner's daughter as their backer, preparing to compete with the new island owner Lu Wentian for the right of succession. The old men meant that Chongming Pirates was founded by the old boss, and should have been inherited by his descendants.

The reason why Lu Wentian was chosen before was not only because the old boss did not have time to make a choice at that time, but also because the old boss's daughter was a minor at that time.

You have to know that the daughter of the old head of the family was only eleven years old at that time, so she had no way to take on the heavy responsibility. Now, the daughter of the old head of the family is nineteen years old and has outstanding abilities, so there is no problem for her to take on this task.

As a result, the people on Chongming Island were divided into three factions, one supporting Lu Wentian, one supporting the old boss's daughter, and the remaining faction chose to remain neutral.

Now, the conflict between the two sides has just begun and has not yet reached the point of being irreconcilable. However, if the conflict between the two sides intensifies, the Chongming Bandits are likely to fall apart.

Jiang Fan was speechless after hearing the news. Facing the two Japanese pirates who were eyeing them covetously and were still having internal conflicts, if he didn't come, the Chongming pirates would probably be destroyed in no time.

"So which side do you support? What do the new island owner and your old boss's daughter think?" Jiang Fan asked after listening to Zhang Tong's story.

Zhang Tong heard this and sighed, "The Chongming Bandits are the hard work of the old boss. Although I was not one of the earliest people to follow the old boss, I have followed him for more than 20 years. We don't want to see the Chongming Bandits perish. Therefore, I will not support anyone!"

At this point, he sighed and said, "Neither the island owner nor the eldest lady has made their stance clear. They have always chosen to remain silent, and I don't know what they are thinking."
