The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

If Jiang Fan came here to destroy them, that would not make sense. After all, how could a warship destroy them? How could that be possible!

Of course, Zhang Tong also wondered if Jiang Fan was here to destroy them. He thought so when Qing Yucheng drove away another boat, but he quickly gave up the idea.

After all, if the King of Qin really wanted to destroy them, he could completely defeat them all with the warships in his hands.

The Chongming pirates had no power to resist and would be easily destroyed in the end. But Jiang Fan did not do so. Instead, he chose to bring only one warship. His sincerity was enough!

"When we were on patrol, we ran into the King of Qin, and some misunderstandings occurred. Later, His Royal Highness the King of Qin said he wanted to go to the island to talk, so I brought him here."

Zhang Tong explained honestly.

"What? Are you sure he is the King of Qin? Could he be a Japanese pirate or one of the other two bandits pretending to be him? You have exposed our base camp to him. If something goes wrong, you will be dead if something happens to us!"

Someone looked at Zhang Tongdao with anger.

After all, Zhang Tong said that he brought the King of Qin from Dayan, but who knows if the other party is really the King of Qin from Dayan. What if it is fake?

Although the white robe army led by Jiang Fan was extremely powerful, they still couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Haha... I also had my doubts and almost got into a fight. But after the Japanese pirates and the two bandits' warships came over to join in the fun, I knew he was the King of Qin!"

Zhang Tong looked at these people with a cold smile, his eyes full of ridicule and arrogance. Probably because they were all rough people, he spoke a bit rudely.

His words made everyone confused again, but Zhang Tong's next words made almost everyone wonder whether Zhang Tong was crazy or stupid!

"You know I ran into 17 warships of Japanese pirates and two bandits. Even if I found out quickly, if they really wanted to catch up, we would be in trouble and might even lose some men and warships."

"But do you know? The two warships brought by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin engaged the warships of the Japanese pirates and the two bandits head-on. Seven out of the seventeen warships were sunk! The remaining ten fled in disgrace!"

When he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. However, when they came to their senses, they curled their lips in disdain. They thought Zhang Tong was bragging.

Although the two warships were large, it was too ridiculous to say that two warships sank seven out of the seventeen warships of the Japanese pirates and the two bandits and scared away ten. No one would believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Even if they had warships with catapults, they couldn't say they could easily sink enemy ships, especially larger ones. Smaller ones might be sunk, but it was impossible to sink seven with only two warships.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Zhang Tong curled his lips and didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people. He didn't even think about saying more to them. After all, no matter how much he said, these people wouldn't believe it, so it's better to let them discover it slowly by themselves.

Zhang Tong notified his men to protect Jiang Fan's warship, and he rushed to the base camp ahead.

The others reacted and quickly followed. They soon arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

When Jiang Fan reached the halfway point of the mountain, he discovered that there was a valley facing the sea and surrounded on three sides. Without going in, there was no way to see the full picture of it.

In this valley, there are many wooden and stone rooms, which looks like a town. The entire valley is almost filled with such towns.

Even though it was almost nightfall, there were still people coming and going, smoke and fire were coming out, and many houses were making fires to cook.

The population of Chongming Island is probably around 30,000 to 40,000, or even more, so it is not surprising that a town of this size exists.

Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun took Jiang Fan up a road at the edge of the valley and walked towards a cave at the top.

The entrance of the cave was very large, at least several feet wide, and one could vaguely see that the cave was divided into several layers, extending all the way to the deepest part.

This should be where the Chongming thieves' top brass stayed. On the left and right sides of the largest cave, there were two smaller cave entrances.

Jiang Fan did not pay too much attention to the situation inside, but walked towards the largest cave under the protection of the white-robed army.

When they arrived at the cave, most of the white-robed soldiers were guarding outside, while Qing Lingxiu entered the cave with twenty elite white-robed guards.

The entire cave is very high, divided into three floors, the first floor is about ten feet high. It is all built of huge wood, although it looks a bit old, it is very solid.

This kind of construction technology made Jiang Fan admire the old master. He was able to build this natural cave like this. He was indeed quite capable.

Following a huge passage below, Lu Wentian, Lu Zhaoyun and Jiang Fan entered the meeting room. The lights illuminated the space inside, and a cool breeze blew out from inside.

This situation indicates that this cave should have several huge ventilation holes, otherwise the air inside would not be fresh, but would have a corrupt smell.

We entered into one of the huge rooms. Judging from the layout inside, this should be the meeting hall of the Chongming bandits.

There is a main seat in the front, and 20 seats on each side. There are tables in the front.

Jiang Fan was arranged to be the first on the left hand, Qing Lingxiu was arranged to accompany Jiang Fan, and as for the twenty white-robed soldiers, they stood behind Jiang Fan.

Further down, some people who were obviously high-ranking members of the Chongming thieves sat down. Sitting at the first seat opposite was Lu Zhaoyun, and below them sat a number of people in order.

Except for Lu Zhaoyun, who was the youngest among the top leaders of Chongming Bandits, the youngest one was about forty years old, and the older ones looked to be in their fifties or sixties.

They looked at Jiang Fan with obscure eyes and different expressions. Lu Wentian sat in the main seat.

Although Jiang Fan is the King of Qin, this is the territory of the Chongming bandits after all. The guest should follow the host's wishes, and even the King of Qin cannot usurp the throne!

However, arranging Jiang Fan as the first on the left can be regarded as a sign of respect for Jiang Fan.

"Your Highness Prince Qin, I wonder what brings you to Chongming Island for!" Sitting at the main seat, while people were serving wine and food, Lu Wentian looked at Jiang Fan and said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, all the high-ranking members of Chongming Bandits turned their eyes to Jiang Fan, as if they wanted to get the answer from him.

Jiang Fan looked at Lu Wentian, Lu Zhaoyun and the others, and said with a faint smile: "This king wants to recruit the Chongming thieves on behalf of the court. I wonder what Island Master Lu thinks!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's face showed a look of astonishment. Some people looked at Lu Wentian with intention, obviously wanting him to agree.
