Chapter 280 [Negotiation] (1)
A small boat slowly sailed in from the entrance of the Haishi Forest. One of them stood on the small boat, waving the white flag high. It was obvious that the other party did not come to surrender, they came to negotiate.
The person who came to negotiate was Shao Wei, the third leader of the Hailong Gang. He was 37 years old this year and was highly valued by Hai Liantian, the leader of the Hailong Gang. To show his sincerity, he only brought two of them. After entering the Haishi Forest, he sang: "Shao Wei, who is going to the Hailong Gang, this time he came for negotiation!" He was full of energy, and his voice sent from the sea far away, echoing among the reefs in the Haishi Forest.
Luo Lie slid down the cable to the deck. He originally suggested that Lao An go to negotiate with him, but Lao An gave up the idea of negotiating in person for some reason.
Luo Lie didn't know whether Lao An had figured out this matter or had other revenge plans. In short, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he didn't show up now.
Ye Qinghong and Lu Weilin had already heard Shao Wei's shouting.
At this time, the boat had already arrived near, and Shao Wei stood at the bow of the ship. In order to show his sincerity, he opened his arms and said that he was not carrying a weapon. He raised his head and shouted to the ship: "Dear men, I am the Hailong Gang Shao Wei. I have something to do to board the ship to discuss. I wonder if you agree?"
Lu Weilin observed the people on the boat below through the scope, and finally locked Shao Wei's head with a muzzle and whispered: "Can he come up?"
Luo Lie said: "This person is also a bit brave." He signaled his companions to put down the rope ladder, and everyone except Lu Weilin and the blind man avoided them for the time being.
Shao Wei climbed up the rope ladder. He was good at climbing and was extremely fast, just like a spirit ape. Luo Lie saw it and sighed in his heart that there was a reason why the Sea Dragon Gang could dominate a sea area.
Soon Shao Wei came to the deck. The blind man walked over and searched him first. Although Shao Wei went to the meeting alone, there was no fear on his face. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, since I dared to come, I wouldn't do anything."
The blind man sneered and said, "Did you make few tricks?" After carefully searching Shao Wei's whole body, he was sure that he did not have any weapons hidden on him, so he made Shao Wei turn around.
Shao Wei stared at Luo Lie with his eyes. He was also a person who had experienced a lot of storms. He could tell at a glance that Luo Lie was the leader. Shao Wei clasped his fists at Luo Lie and said, "Shao Wei, may I ask this gentleman's name for his surname Gao?"
The blind man spat and said, "Stop doing this, don't know our origin, you come here to rob?"
Luo Lie stopped the blind man with his eyes. Now he has no meaning to show off his verbal advantage. He said calmly: "My surname is Luo. Mr. Shao is going to ask for his name and settle the score in the future?"
Shao Wei laughed and said, "Mr. Luo is so funny." His eyes took the opportunity to look around.
Luo Lie knew what he was looking for and smiled and said, "What does Mr. Shao want to talk about?"
Under the current situation, there is no need to beat around the bush, Shao Wei said straight to the point: "Did someone fall into your hands?"
Luo Lie said: "You mean Hai Mingzhu, the daughter of your gang leader?"
Shao Wei's face changed. He originally hoped that Hai Mingzhu had not revealed her true identity, but now it seems that Luo Lie has learned everything, which made his negotiation passive from the beginning. However, he quickly calmed down and smiled and said, "Where is she now?"
Luo Lie said: "I really can't figure out why so many people in your Hailong Gang want to let a woman come and take risks? Is it because she is too confident in herself, or is someone deliberately taking this opportunity to get rid of her?"
Shao Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, whether you believe it or not, today's incident is a misunderstanding, and we have received wrong information."
This reason is too far-fetched, so how can I deceive Luo Lie? Luo Lie smiled and said, "I also hope it is a misunderstanding, but a misunderstanding has caused so many casualties. Is this a matter not going to end well, right?"
Shao Wei still smiled and said, "It's great to know that mistakes can improve. Since you know that it is a misunderstanding, you can't let the misunderstanding develop. I have a suggestion." He deliberately paused for a moment when he said this.
Luo Lie said: "Let me tell me." Although he only met Shao Wei for the first time, after a brief confrontation, he realized that this person was definitely a cunning and changeable person. No wonder the Hailong Gang sent him to negotiate.
Shao Wei said: "If you let my lady go, I will immediately let my subordinates withdraw the siege and let you leave safely."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Who can guarantee it?"
Shao Wei said: "Everyone is a man in the world, so naturally he has nothing to say. My Hailong Gang is also famous in the world and will never do anything that is sneered by fellow practitioners in the world."
Luo Lie said: "I'll give you a suggestion."
Shao Wei took a step forward and took a scrupulous attitude.
Luo Lie said: "Since you say it is a misunderstanding, then you should consider it a misunderstanding. But my crew members' casualties cannot be forgotten because of the word "misunderstanding", and the ship's losses cannot be forgotten."
Shao Wei said: "This is easy to deal with. On behalf of the gang leader, I can promise you to compensate for your losses. Mr. Luo just pays attention to the offer."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "It seems that the Hailong Gang is really rich and powerful. Mr. Shao's position in the gang is also very important and can exercise the power of the gang leader on his behalf."
Shao Wei said: "Mr. Luo is not satisfied?"
Luo Lie said: "I'm not satisfied. Hai Mingzhu is in our hands, and we still have a chance to leave. If we hand her to you now, our ships will probably not be able to leave the sea stone forest."
Shao Wei also realized that Luo Lie was not that easy to deal with, but what Luo Lie said was true. If Luo Lie's side really gave Hai Mingzhu back to them so easily, they would never keep their promise and let Luo Lie and the others leave. Shao Wei said: "Mr. Luo just say whatever you want."
Luo Lie said: "You will withdraw me now, the further you go, the better. Also, leave a boat for us. When we arrive at a safe place, we will return the ship and your gang leader's baby daughter to you."
Shao Wei said: "Why should I believe you?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Do you have a choice?" He waved his hand, Zhang Changgong and the eagle walked out with Hai Mingzhu like a chicken. Hai Mingzhu's hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was also stuffed by a cloth. Seeing Shao Wei shook his head desperately and wanted to ask for help, it was a pity that he could not make any sound.
Luo Lie deliberately let Hai Mingzhu appear, proving that she is still alive. Shao Wei saw the expression on Hai Mingzhu's face becoming more and more serious. Zhang Changgong took Hai Mingzhu out for Shao Wei to take a look, and then escorted her away.
Luo Lie looked at Shao Wei with fearlessness and said, "Does Mr. Shao still want to talk to me?"
Shao Wei pursed his lips and said, "I can't decide on this matter, I need to go back and discuss it before talking about it."
Luo Lie said: "The leader of your gang is here too? If he really cares about his daughter's life, he should come in person."
Shao Wei said: "Mr. Luo must ensure that my lady is safe, and this is for your own good." His implication is that if Luo Lie dares to hurt Hai Mingzhu, they will inevitably be retaliated by them.
Luo Lie heard what he meant and asked back: "Mr. Shao is threatening me?"
Shao Wei hugged him and turned around and quickly left the ship.
After Shao Wei left, several people gathered together again to discuss countermeasures. In Lu Weilin's view, Shao Wei came this time to find out the truth, and the most important thing was to determine whether Hai Mingzhu was alive in their hands. Now that Hai Mingzhu's capture has been confirmed, Shao Wei must have returned to discuss countermeasures.
The blind man thought that Shao Wei was clearly unable to make decisions. It seems that someone else in the Hailong Gang must be the master of the family. I don’t know what identity this person is?
Ye Qinghong said: "Maybe it is Hai Liantian, the leader of the Hailong Gang."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "The possibility is not too great. If it was Hai Liantian, he would definitely rescue his daughter at any cost." He turned to the blind man and said, "What if you were Hai Liantian?"
The blind man said without thinking: "Then hell, I must let you go, and I will ensure that my daughter is safe first."
Luo Lie said: "The father and daughter are in love, and Hai Liantian is definitely no exception."
Ye Qinghong said: "You mean... Hai Liantian probably didn't come this time."
Luo Lie pondered for a moment before saying, "I can't say it, maybe Hai Liantian can do it, we dare not tear this ace easily." He looked up with concern, and Lao An stood quietly on the observation deck, looking into the distance, waiting for the enemy to arrive again, and someone would definitely come. As long as Hai Mingzhu is in their hands, someone would definitely come.
Hai Liantian did not participate in this operation. In fact, this sea hunt was commanded by the second leader Dinghai Shenlong Tsui Harding. Tsui Harding was the second leader of the Hailong Gang and the military advisor of the Hailong Gang. When Sino-Japanese jointly suppressed bandits, he suggested to Hai Liantian to lead the crowd to the South China Sea to avoid the limelight, but they did not live well in the South China Sea. After all, the South China Sea is someone else's territory. Several pirate teams that originally fought each other became united because of their entry and were always on the outside. In several encounters, the Hailong Gang suffered heavy losses. They soon realized that this sea area did not belong to them. If they continued to persevere, the entire army would be wiped out.
When they were alive and died, Tsui Harding went to northern Jiangxi to mediate and reached an agreement with young marshal Ren Tianjun. With Ren Tianjun's acquiescence, they were able to leave the South China Sea and go to the waters near Zhejiang and Jiangxi. There is never a free lunch in this world. Ren Tianjun will not do good deeds for no reason, and soon he sent them a task. After receiving this task, no one took this task seriously, otherwise Hai Liantian would not let his precious daughter come, and would not choose to sit on the shore and wait for the good news.
