The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

Zhao Yong turned to look at the deputy general and ordered:

"After we land on the island, we will find the pirate's lair as soon as possible and send a signal."

"When you see the signal I send, lead your troops to the island and encircle and suppress them!"

"Yes!" replied the deputy general.

As night falls, a small boat sails silently towards an uninhabited island in the distance.

When the boat approached the shore, Zhao Yong and others quickly went ashore and hid behind the reefs.

"General, what should we do now?" a confidant asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yong carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The island was quiet, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks and the chirping of unknown birds in the distance.

"Let's find their camp first." Zhao Yong whispered.

"Remember, be careful and don't reveal your identity."

Under the cover of night, several people groped their way forward along the path on the island.

Finally, we found a hidden cave entrance, through which we could vaguely see some tents and people walking back and forth.

Zhao Yong thought to himself: It seems that this is the pirates' lair.

"General, shall we charge in now?"

A confidant was eager to try.

Zhao Yong shook his head:

"No rush, let's see the situation first. We need to find out how many people they have and what kind of weapons and equipment they have."

Several people hid in the dark, carefully observing the situation outside the cave.

"General, what should we do now?" A confidant asked timidly.

Zhao Yong frowned, thinking rapidly in his mind:

A head-on fight would definitely not work. They only had a few people, and it was unclear how many pirates were among them.

At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded from behind them:

"Who? Password!"

Zhao Yong was shocked: Oh no, I'm exposed!

Then he pretended to be calm: "What password?"

They slowly turned around and saw a burly pirate holding a scimitar, staring at them warily.

"The moon shines brightly before my bed, what's the next line?"

At this moment, one of his confidants suddenly jumped out from behind the pirate and put a dagger against the pirate's neck.

"Don't move! What's the next command?" the confidant asked in a low voice.

The pirate was obviously startled by this sudden change. He was stunned for a moment before stammering:

"Night...night attack on the Widow Village."

"Night attack on the Widow Village!"

Zhao Yong immediately repeated the command and then winked at the confidant.

The confidant understood and cut his throat with a knife.

Zhao Yong silently complained in his heart: What a terrible command...

Looking around, he whispered:

"Now that we know the password, we can get in."

"Remember, be careful and act according to circumstances."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Zhao Yong divided the people into two groups, and he took two people with him to investigate the location of the pirate leader and the internal situation.

Another group of people were responsible for sending signals and supporting the main force to land on the island.

"Everyone, act separately and pay attention to safety." Zhao Yong said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Several people acted separately, and Zhao Yong took two confidants and headed towards the cave.

"The moonlight shines in front of the bed!"

Zhao Yong walked to the entrance of the cave and said to the guard.

"Night attack on the Widow Village!"

The guard replied, then looked Zhao Yong and the others up and down.

"Which team are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Zhao Yong thought: It seems that the internal management of these pirates is quite strict.

"We are new here and have just joined the Black Shark Gang."

Zhao Yong pretended to be honest and said.

"Second Master asked us to come here and await your orders."

"New here?" The guard looked at them suspiciously.

"Why haven't I heard that the second-in-command wants to recruit new people?"

Zhao Yong quickly explained:

"We were secretly recruited by the Second in Command from outside, specifically to carry out some special missions."

The guard seemed to believe it a little, but he was still a little worried.

"What proof do you have?"

Zhao Yong thought to himself that this was not good. This guard was quite cautious.

He suddenly had an idea and took out a token he found from the one-eyed man from his arms and put it into the guard's hand.

"This is a token given to us by the Second Master."

The guard took the token and examined it carefully.

"So you are an honored guest. I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

The guard's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said with a smile on his face:

"Please come in, the Second in Command is waiting for you."

Zhao Yong was secretly delighted, it seemed that this token was really useful.

He walked into the cave with two confidants and saw a fat man with a fleshy face sitting on a tiger-skin chair with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Second Master, the person has been brought here."

The guard walked up to the fat man and whispered.

"Yeah." The fat man nodded and his eyes fell on Zhao Yong and others.

"Are you the new ones?"

Zhao Yong thought: It turns out that this fat guy is the real second in command!

He immediately stepped forward calmly, bowed and said:

"Meet the Second in Command!"

"Who are you?"

The fat man narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yong and others.

Zhao Yong thought to himself: It seems that this pirate second-in-command is not someone who can be easily fooled.

Then he said:

"We are all desperate criminals on the road, wanted by the government for murder."

"I heard that the second-in-command was recruiting soldiers here, so I came here specifically to join him."

"I hope the second-in-command can give us brothers some food to eat!"

"Desperado?" The fat man sneered.

"I think you look like spies from the government, don't you?"

Zhao Yong was shocked: This fat guy has good eyesight!

He was about to explain when there was a commotion outside the tent.

"what happened?"

The fat man's face darkened and he shouted at the guard.

"Report to the Second In Command, there's trouble outside!"

The guard rushed in in a panic.

"Who dares to mess with the Tai Sui?" the fat man was furious.

"Take me to see it!"

Zhao Yong was secretly happy, it seemed like this was a good opportunity!

He said quickly:

"Second Master, we are willing to serve you and help you resolve the trouble outside!"

"Okay!" The fat man nodded.

"You guys come with me!"

Zhao Yong and others followed the fat man out of the cave, only to see flames rising into the sky and deafening shouts of killing outside.

Looking closely, he found that it was Feng Rushi who was leading the officers and soldiers to kill him!

Zhao Yong secretly exclaimed "Wonderful!" Feng Rushi came at the right time!

He drew his sword and rushed towards the chaotic group of pirates, followed closely by his two confidants.

The fat second in command was obviously stunned for a moment. Looking at the brave appearance of Zhao Yong and others, he was unable to react for a while.

"What are you still standing there for! Kill them!"

The fat second in command finally came to his senses and yelled at the top of his voice.

The surrounding pirate minions finally reacted and drew their weapons, hacking at the officers and soldiers and Zhao Yong and others.

While Zhao Yong was hacking and killing, he was secretly observing the situation.

Although the officers and soldiers brought by Feng Rushi were few in number, they were well-trained.

The pirates were a disorganized group and were unable to form any effective resistance.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat second in command wanted to sneak away.

Zhao Yong had sharp eyes and had already spotted him. He shouted, "Where are you running to?"

He rushed forward and slashed with his knife.

The fat second in command was so scared that he dodged quickly, but was still hit on the shoulder by Zhao Yong with a knife, and blood immediately flowed out.

"what!"

The fat second in command screamed and was caught by Zhao Yong. The pirates, who had no leader, became even more panicked and fled in all directions.
