Chapter 341: Spreading Rumors (Two in One)

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Then these two people should be promoted, maybe they will be favored by your master Xu Hai."

Luo Longwen shook his head and said, "The second master will not let him go easily."

Bai Xiaowen wondered: "There is such a thing? The second leader, Xu Hong, dare to disobey the order of the first leader Xu Hai."

Luo Longwen said: "This is an unwritten rule within the pirates. Every leader-level leader will have a few strong hands under him. As the chief leader, Mr. Xu will not easily speak to the important people below. Of course, if Master Xu opens his mouth, Master Hong should not dare to say anything, but this kind of thing is taboo, and it will easily cause complaints from the other leaders of the family."

After a pause, Luo Longwen added: "Master Xu and Master Hong are cousins. Moreover, Master Xu was once taken care of by Mr. Hong's father, Mr. Xu Weixue. He was under Wang Zhi's back then. If it weren't for Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu would have been taken care of by him long ago." Wang Zhi did it. With such a layer of incense and brotherhood, Master Xu treats Master Hong very differently."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I see, I understand."

"Princess Bai, please send a few capable men to go to the island with me. After I give the secret letter to my wife to read, she will write back. After all, I am one of Lord Hong's subordinates, so it is easy to go out with repeated excuses." It's arousing suspicion, so it's not good to come again. So this time, I have to ask your subordinates to bring it back."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'll go with you personally—but, once the identity is verified, I still need your help to cover it up."

Luo Longwen nodded: "Bai Xianchang is indeed a skilled and courageous person. Don't worry, as long as Bai Xianchang is cautious in his words and deeds, and does not take the initiative to reveal his flaws, I guarantee that no one on the island will discover your identity." A few bamboo cards were handed to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen took the bamboo tablet, only to see that there was a statue of a ghost head engraved on it, and the carving was very rough.

[Wokou Identity Token: This is the identity certificate of the low-level pirates under the Japanese pirate Xu Hai's command. With it, you will become a neutral or friendly target in the eyes of the pirates in the Japanese pirate Xu Hai's camp. If the other party discovers your real faction, the identity token will automatically become invalid. 】

According to Luo Longwen's explanation, this seemingly crude bamboo card actually contains as many as seven code words incisions, even if someone who doesn't know the inside story makes a fake, it will be difficult to get past it.

Bai Xiaowen thought to himself that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Isn't this equivalent to the anti-counterfeiting mark of RMB? The pirates of the Ming Dynasty knew these things hundreds of years ago.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi changed their decorations to the default rules of the spirit world, the tattered clothes they gave when they first entered the world of the Jiajing plane, and then smeared dust on their faces, and the images of the two low-level pirates appeared.

Afterwards, Bai Xiaowen called a few soldiers, changed their clothes a little, distributed the Japanese pirate identity badges, boarded Luo Longwen's boat, and rowed to the main island of Wusha Island, where the Japanese pirate leader Xu Hai was temporarily stationed. The seat reserved, the famous prostitute Wang Cuiqiao was naturally accompanied by Xu Hai.

Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was willing to board the boat, the scholar Luo Longwen's attitude towards Bai Xiaowen became less guarded. After all, the officers and soldiers recruited for safety, and the horoscope has not yet been written. Bai Xiaowen followed him ashore at this time and entered the Japanese pirates' base camp. If there is a fraud, there is really no place to die.

Luo Longwen admired Bai Xiaowen's courage to attend the meeting.

It's just that Luo Longwen Xiucai didn't know one thing, that is, Bai Xiaowen is an awakened person, not a person in the spirit world. When he finds that something is wrong, as long as he does not enter the combat state, he can leave the Jiajing plane world and return to Earth in ten seconds.

Therefore, the courage of the awakened ones is generally much greater than that of the natives of the spirit world.

Bai Xiaowen and Luo Longwen sat opposite each other in the cabin of the boat, drinking a pot of dirty wine.

Bai Xiaowen, as a college student in the AD era, a writer of online novels, and a key university student in the Psionic Era, still has a deep understanding of ancient prose. Chatting with Luo Longwen, a scholar, and talking about the past and present, made Luo Longwen feel rather late. Feel.

In fact, this is also very normal. Who does Luo Longwen, a scholar, usually face? The five big and three rough pirates, the murderous Japanese pirates. The so-called Yangchun Baixue, the song is high and the widowed, he is full of it, and the rhythm of the poems is not liked by anyone.

Served in the army for three years and competed with Diaochan as a sow. Luo Longwen has been a bandit for many years, and when he meets an "intellectual", he must be pleasing to the eye. This is a reason.

From Luo Longwen's mouth, Bai Xiaowen learned a lot about the major events in the Japanese pirate camp.

For example, Xu Hai's camp and Ye Mazi's camp are fighting fiercely because of the competition for territory, while Xu Hai's camp obviously has the upper hand, and Ye Mazi's fighting is complaining.

For another example, the leader of another Japanese pirate camp, Chen Dong, appeared and tried to negotiate with Xu Hai and Ye Mazi. For this reason, Xu Hong, the second master, was still yelling at him. The Japanese pirate Chen Dong must have come forward to mediate because he was worried that Xu Hai's camp would annex Ye Mazi's camp and become bigger.

When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he asked, "Mr. Luo, do you think this mediation will be successful? Will Xu and Ye agree to mediate after fighting for so long?"

Luo Longwen sighed: "It should be successful. Ye Mazi couldn't bear to lose the general again and again. It is said that this time Chen Dong came out to make peace, and he was the one who invited him secretly. Master Xu didn't dare to ignore Chen Dong and continue fighting." "If Chen Dong and Ye Mazi join forces, Master Xu will not be able to resist even though he is powerful."

"So what about this recruitment? How likely is Mr. Luo?"

After pondering, Luo Longwen said: "It's hard to say...Madam's meaning is that she is very willing to recruit, and she has persuaded Master Xu many times for this. However, Master Xu has never revealed the intention of recruiting. His thoughts are beyond the reach of outsiders. It's hard to guess."

Bai Xiaowen frowned, and deliberately said: "So, Xu Hai still doesn't know anything about the recruitment, so there is no hope."

Luo Longwen hastily explained: "Outsiders can't guess Master Xu's thoughts, but Madam must be sure. She let me contact the officers and soldiers, in fact, it vaguely represents Master Xu's heart, and maybe he also has the idea of ​​recruiting security. After all, there are bandits at sea. Eat and sleep in the open air, and the sea breeze is like a knife, it is better to accept the recruitment and become a rich man."

"What about the other masters?" Bai Xiaowen tapped his fingers lightly and said, "What's their attitude? If Xu Hai is willing to recruit, will they all agree?"

Luo Longwen hesitated and said, "I'm not sure about that. I'm just a subordinate of Master Hong, so I don't know so much."

"Then you should know what Xu Hong thinks, right?" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Listen, he and Xu Hai are cousins, so they should be of the same mind."

Luo Longwen remained silent.

Bai Xiaowen understood a little bit in his heart.

Bai Xiaowen used an excuse to inquire about the inside story of Luo Longwen joining the gang as a Japanese pirate. However, Luo Longwen talked about him from the sidelines, and kept secret about the reason why he joined the gang as a bandit.

Bai Xiaowen just asked a question, and when Luo Longwen didn't say anything, he stopped asking.

On the main island of Wusha Island Reef, Luo Longwen arranged a remote bamboo house for Bai Xiaowen and others to rest, and he left quietly with a secret letter.

It was already five o'clock at this time, and the bright moon was setting.

Bai Xiaowen called the accompanying soldiers: "You guys rest for a while, and when the sun rises, go spread the news."

Several soldiers were a little confused: "What news are you spreading?"

"You guys were just chatting among the pirates at the bottom... You said that the head of the family might be recruited, and even sent an envoy to the Ming army. Attacking Chen Duyan's fleet that day was one of the conditions of the secret agreement with the Ming army! Who Let Chen Duyan break the Quanzhou Mansion, let the governor of the Ming army lose face."

The soldiers selected by Bai Xiaowen are all with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents. Among the fake Japanese in the Japanese pirate camp, many are bankrupt fishermen, street thugs, etc. along the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. This kind of accent will not reveal their secrets.

One of the soldiers hesitated and said: "Master Bai Xiaoren, this...is it really possible? Didn't we come here to secretly deliver a letter?"

Bai Xiaowen said lightly: "What did the governor say when he agreed to go to sea with you?"

"...All according to Bai Xiaoren's orders." The guard lowered his head.

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "That's right, spreading rumors is also the meaning of the governor, so you should follow suit."

"Yes." Several soldiers nodded in agreement, and then went to rest.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi paced outside the door, looking at the dilapidated rows of bamboo houses on this desolate island, and occasionally seeing a few drunk Japanese pirates lying on the side of the road reeking of alcohol. The two communicated secretly through the team channel.

Li Shuyi: "There are so many Japanese pirates sleeping, you said if we hacked two of them secretly, no one would notice, right?"

Bai Xiaowen was helpless for a while: "Hold it, a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans."

"What big plan do you have?" Li Shuyi smiled, "Why spread rumors, I followed you all the way, but I never heard Hu Zongxian make this request."

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Of course it is to set a trap for the other two awakened people who are also in the Jiajing plane world."

"You mean, Zhao Zhixiong, and Tai Shuisheng?" Li Shuyi's face was cold when she mentioned these two names. However, she then asked suspiciously: "What does spreading rumors about recruiting security have anything to do with the two of them?"

Bai Xiaowen raised a finger: "First, these two people joined the Japanese pirates because they wanted to do something big. If the recruitment is successful, the reputation they have worked so hard to accumulate in the Japanese pirate Xu Hai's camp will be in vain. Do you think they will be happy?"

Li Shuyi shook her head.

"So, after hearing the rumors about recruiting security, these two people will definitely take action. This is the premise for setting them up."

Bai Xiaowen raised his second finger: "The leader these two people follow now is Xu Hong, Xu Hai's cousin. According to the conversation with Luo Longwen, I can preliminarily judge that Xu Hong should be very resistant to recruiting .”

Li Shuyi was puzzled: "Why? Luo Longwen didn't say that."

"Although I didn't say anything, under the circumstances at that time, not speaking was tantamount to acquiescing. Facing me, the envoy of the imperial court, Luo Longwen must have reported good news but not bad news. He said that one point of hope was five points, five points of hope. It is ten points. And his silence means that the fact is that there is no possibility of Xu Hong agreeing to the recruitment."

Li Shuyi nodded in conviction.

"So, I spread rumors about recruiting security in advance to give Zhao Zhixiong a chance to act," Bai Xiaowen said, "If we are in Zhao Zhixiong's position, the first leader wants to recruit security, and the second leader opposes recruitment. As the second leader's subordinates , what should I do?"

"... Persuading the second master to set up his own family?" Li Shuyi thought for a while, and said tentatively.

"This is the choice of a 'good guy'," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "but someone like Zhao Zhixiong is different from you. From my short contact with him, this person tends to go to extremes, either not doing it or doing it absolutely." So I can almost conclude that his choice must be...to instigate Xu Hong to defeat Xu Hai! Relying on his prestige as the second master, he will take over Xu Hai's power!"

Li Shuyi's beautiful eyes widened, revealing a look of shock.

"Actually, it's not difficult to make this conjecture. The main thing is to look at two words, benefits. Think about it, how much benefit will Zhao Zhixiong get by killing Xu Hai and supporting Xu Hong to the throne?"

"First of all, kill a high-level leader like Xu Hai—probably a rare leader, the treasure chest reward alone is enough!"

"In addition, after Xu Hong came to power, in order to consolidate his position, he will definitely promote his cronies. Then Zhao Zhixiong, who has made great contributions, will quickly rise to the top of the Japanese pirates and become a big pirate like Chen Duyan who can command the fleet and can attack states and counties. !"

Li Shuyi nodded: "It is true that the benefits are huge. Then how are you going to deal with him?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I only have the prototype of the plan in my mind for the time being, and I still need to think about some specific details."

Li Shuyi: "Don't be self-defeating... If Zhao Zhixiong really gets such a big benefit, I will be really mad."

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can only catch big fish if you are willing to use the bait. I'm not sure if Zhao Zhixiong still has the escape props or return props that he used to have before, that's why he bothered to set up such a trick. If you don't move, you'll just move. We must kill him and not give him time to react!"

Bai Xiaowen has never been an open-minded person. He was bullied by Zhao Zhixiong and died if he didn't share his life. How can he not repay this hatred?

Revenge doesn't last overnight! Bai Xiaowen, who has always believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, intends to get rid of Zhao Zhixiong in this Jiajing plane world.

After daybreak, several soldiers wandered around, spreading rumors about recruiting security on the island.

There are many pirates on the island, thousands of them, and the pirates under the leadership of each leader do not know each other, which also gives the soldiers room to spread rumors.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi waited in the bamboo house until noon, and finally they saw Luo Longwen who came in a hurry, followed by two people in black burqas.

As soon as they met, Bai Xiaowen went up to meet him, grabbed Luo Longwen by the collar, suppressed his anger and said:

"What the hell is going on? How could the secrets of recruiting security be leaked? Some pirates have already begun to inquire about my background! I believe you like this, but you treat me like this!"
