Chapter 1003 You Take My Place

Yu Zecheng smiled and said, "As long as the official ships come, civilian merchant ships will follow. The prosperity of Yangshan Islands is just around the corner."

It would be a lie to say that He Lingchuan was not tempted. Beijia is so powerful that as long as a handful of rice is thrown over, it will be enough for the entire Yangshan Islands to be well fed.

It depends on whether Beijia is willing, not whether it can.

But this is a national investment and a strategic deployment. Yu Zecheng is just a captain of the Black Tiger Army, so how can he paint such a big pie for He Lingchuan?

He doesn't seem to have a brain full of muscles.

He Lingchuan asked him directly: "This is a great thing, but who can make the decision?"

Yu Zecheng smiled: "A big country has capable people."

He Lingchuan also smiled.

Although the route that Blade Port and Yangshan Islands rely on is called the "Golden Route", in fact, only a small number of Beijia merchant ships choose to pass through it. Most sea vessels travel from other places and only stop at a few ports in Beijia to load and unload goods. They are not special ships and special lines sent by Beijia.

Is Qing unwilling to interact with Beijia in a friendly manner?

Obviously not.

After all, Blade Harbor and Yangshan Islands are both within the sphere of influence of Mou. If Mou is unhappy, Qing still has to look at its face.

At this time, the location of Yangshan Islands has strategic value.

If Beijia's official ships can also travel unimpeded in the Golden Channel, then Beijia and Yaguo can not only exchange what they have, but also increase military aid to each other.

To put it simply, once He Lingchuan nods his head in agreement, it is equivalent to opening a base in the rear of Mouguo, allowing Beijia to freely enter and exit Yangshan Islands, and use it as a springboard to interact with Yaguo.

At that time, what will Mouguo react?

On the other hand, since Yangshan Islands have to bear the pressure from Mouguo, what conditions must Beijia offer to make He Lingchuan nod his head?

It's interesting to think about it. However, He Lingchuan's current focus is not on the pie in the sky painted by Yu Zecheng, but on Wanqifeng, which is ten feet away!

This guy should be here for negotiation, but now He Lingchuan is ignoring him to talk to the guests, so he can't get angry right away.

But He Lingchuan noticed that even though he was worried, Wanqi Feng, who was outside the game, was staring at the backgammon board, his eyes flickering, and he hesitated to speak several times.

He asked Wanqi Feng to wait, originally wanting to suppress the boy's vigor when he just came in.

The first push is the second push. The same is true for negotiations, momentum is very important.

Wanqi Feng didn't realize this at all.

However, He Lingchuan observed something more interesting, so he picked up the white horse chess piece and moved forward two steps.

This move made Wanqi Feng frown again, revealing a look of disapproval.

So He Lingchuan asked him, "Can you play backgammon?"

Wanqi Feng was startled. He didn't expect that he was really not in a hurry: "Yes."

"How was your game? Tell the truth."

Wanqi Feng put one hand behind his back and said frankly, "Better than you."

Then he said, "Island Master He, I came to..."

"I know, I know." He Lingchuan raised his hand and pressed him twice, "Don't worry, you can continue this game for me, how about it?"

"Me?" Wanqi Feng didn't expect He Lingchuan to let him take over. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "But I want to find you..."

"I know what you want." He Lingchuan pointed at the chessboard, "You have caused me a lot of trouble! But as long as you win, everything will be fine."

Everything will be fine? Is this a promise from Island Master He? Wanqi Feng was silent for a few breaths, and finally responded with "OK".

After all, he was on someone else's territory. Even if he fought to the death in the end, the Yangshan Islands would at most break the net, but the Bailong people would become dead fish.

Yu Zecheng looked at him for a long time, and immediately asked: "Who is this?"

He and Wanqi Song's uncle and nephew reached cooperation through his subordinates, and he didn't recognize Wanqi Feng himself standing here.

But when Wanqi Feng heard He Lingchuan's address to him, he knew very well who was playing chess with He Lingchuan: "My surname is Wanqi."

Yu Zecheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he understood it immediately.

Is this Wanqi Feng?

Wanqi Feng did not follow his uncle Wanqi Song to the sea, but led four hundred people and disappeared. According to the current situation, has Wanqi Feng surrendered to He Lingchuan?

No, it seems that something is wrong?

"Mr. Yu, this is my subordinate." He Lingchuan smiled, "He said he can do it, so I will give him a chance to make amends. What do you think?"

He said that Wanqi Feng was his subordinate.

Wanqi Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "give a chance" and "make amends".

"Oh?" Yu Zecheng asked knowingly, "What crime has he committed?"

"It's just a dispute over labor, a small matter." He Lingchuan smiled at Wanqi Feng, "It's a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them."

"It's better to rely on oneself than on others." Yu Zecheng frowned, "But He Xiao, you are the host, if you want to change people, just change them."

He couldn't help complaining about "it's better to rely on oneself than on others".

The waste of Wanqi uncle and nephew, the waste of Bailong people, are really unreliable!

Of course, he was also persuading Wanqi Feng not to put all his hopes in He Lingchuan.

Wanqi Feng remained silent, stepped forward, hugged the white piece, and started playing chess.

The old uncle was in this situation today because he listened to the words of Yu and Bailie. He will not repeat the same mistake again!

They played chess, and He Lingchuan also called a guard over and whispered a few words.

The guard responded "yes" after hearing it, turned around and strode out.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside Nuanxiangzhai, fading away.

He Lingchuan then stood aside to watch the game, and saw that Wan Qifeng's chess moves were wide and open, and the rules were clear. He was indeed much better than himself.

The rules of backgammon are loose and the gameplay is flexible. A game can be played in two quarters of an hour. It is also commonly used in the military. Wan Qifeng used to be in Bailong's army and rarely encountered any opponents in Shuanglu, and he often won a lot of money.

However, Yu Zecheng was very lucky. After rolling the dice several times, the game was forced into overtime.

Wan Qifeng was ruthless and had no good impressions of him.

If my uncle hadn't been instigated by this group of people, why would I have ended up in this situation?

He Lingchuan watched with interest from the sidelines. Bailong and Bejia, a pair of temporary allies, were now killing each other in the game.

He knew Wan Qifeng's demands very well, but he didn't want to let these Bailong people leave easily.

Now, what to do?

Just then, the eyeball spider in his clothes delivered the good news he wanted to hear most:

"nailed it!"

Zhu Erniang's voice was a little tired, but she could tell she was in a happy mood: "We caught eight of the eleven Bejia people, two died and one escaped."

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the heavy stone in his heart.

Yu Zecheng used all his cards, but the Bega people's surprise attack still failed.

The biggest reason for the failure was the lag in intelligence, because the big demon they faced, the highest combat power in the Yangshan Islands, was not just Zhu Erniang!

Except for the day when he welcomed Zhu Erniang to settle down, when He Lingchuan appeared in public, there was at most only one spider demon following him. Human beings can't tell the difference between Aunt Zhu and Er Niang Zhu, so naturally they won't think that such a terrifying spider queen actually has two ends in the Yangshan Islands.

As for Dong Rui's ghost ape, only the people of Rongshan know its true identity. What's more, Dong Rui is a technical geek. He stays on his own Alfalfa Island when he has nothing to do, and usually lets Gui Yuan look after his house.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the only great demon that Yangshan Islands can handle is Zhu Erniang herself.

He Lingchuan basically did not participate in the battle in the eastern part of Sodin Island.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay and help the Spider Demon Sisters, but it’s that he is needed here even more——

He rushed here in a hurry to stabilize Yu Zecheng and prevent him from slipping out to cause damage.

Originally, Yu Zecheng would not personally take action, just like Bejia's ministers stationed abroad would not personally carry out assassinations and sneak attacks, and He Lingchuan would not rush into Nuanxiangzhai and directly capture Yu Zecheng alive.

This has to be left to the subordinates, after all, the external relations on the surface still need to be maintained.

However, He Lingchuan faked his death, and Yu Zecheng concluded that the Yangshan Islands had no owner and would probably come out of the cave on their own.

After all, he was born in the army and was not a real official envoy. He had to make the most sure decisions on such important matters by himself.

Once he personally participates in the operation, he will completely break up with He Lingchuan, and there will be no room for change on either side. So when they meet on a narrow road, should He Lingchuan beat him, beat him, or beat him?

If he beat Yu Zecheng until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, it would be a disgrace to Bejia.

But this time without a mask, Bega must know who is not going to give it a good look, and when the time comes, it will start to rage——

This is the situation that He Lingchuan least wants to see.

Therefore, in order for Yu Zecheng not to make himself uncomfortable, He Lingchuan had to rush here after capturing Wanqisong on Qingyun Road. On the one hand, he interrupted Yu Zecheng's command of the sniper spider queen operation, and on the other hand, he Also keep an eye on him and prevent him from running around.

But He Lingchuan still missed the battle with the spider demon sisters in his heart.

The configuration of Spider Demon Sister, Flower Ghost Ape, is already very powerful. Even He Lingchuan himself could only be beaten on the ground, not to mention that he also added some additional insurance measures. I don't know if he used them.

Even so, He Lingchuan was still worried.

Yu Zecheng has been preparing for more than half a year, so it is impossible not to have a trump card.

Alas, it is a pity that he does not have enough high-end combat power. If one or two more big monsters join the battle, victory will be guaranteed.

So the good news from Zhu Erniang made He Lingchuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Tonight, this series of difficulties has been over half.

After listening to Zhu Erniang's report on the situation of the prisoners, He Lingchuan casually called Wang Fubao behind him and whispered a few words.

Wang Fubao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he trotted out.

Naturally, this scene could not be hidden from Yu Zecheng's eyes. He was playing chess with Wan Qifeng, but there was something ominous in his heart.

It stands to reason that even if the actions of his team have been predicted by He Xiao, with his own configuration and magical weapons, even if he cannot capture Zhu Erniang, it should not be too difficult to protect himself and retreat.

The target of tonight's action is to change from He Lingchuan back to Zhu Erniang, which is not a bad thing in itself.

But his current whim is very bad.

He Lingchuan dragged him here, and he was unable to contact his men in the eastern part of Sodin Island on the spot.

When he was distracted, he made a wrong move in the chess game. Wan Qifeng seized the opportunity to fly two pieces in a row, solidifying his advantage.

He Lingchuan walked over with his hands behind his back and whispered a few words to Wan Qifeng. Only the two of them could hear:

"Delay more time!"
