Chapter 1083: Sudden Accident and Temporary Decision

The thousand-odd troops brought out by He Lingchuan did not return to the Yangshan Archipelago, but went straight to the windstorm bay, while sending an urgent order to Ding Zuodong, asking him to rush over with two thousand guard forces and a large amount of supplies.

Preparation, supply, departure, arrival—it was a speed that others couldn't understand, and also the result of more than half a year of high-intensity training.

"This matter is a long story." Huang Zhao had his subordinates put a square treasure chest on the deck, and he pointed to the chest and said, "First say this, the Island Master asked me to transfer it to you for accounting."

Alright! As soon as Ding Zuodong opened the treasure chest, Zhu Xiuer and Dong Rui on the side also leaned over to take a look.

Oh, jewelry and treasures.

"Eh, it seems to be more than six thousand one hundred and eighty-five taels." Ding Zuodong dealt with money all day, and with one glance, he found the quantity was wrong.

"Yes, the Qinglong patriarch is too polite, insisting on making it a round number, otherwise they would be embarrassed." Huang Zhao smiled. "The Island Master said, the extra money is our mental damage fee, the travel expenses to their tribe, and the interest on the six thousand taels... Heh, it's not much when calculated like this."

There were treasure notes, gold and silver in the box, and even two gold bracelets the thickness of a finger that had traces of being worn.

Even second-hand jewelry was used to make up the number; the Qinglong patriarch must have been in a hurry to pay this money.

"Also, the Qinglong tribe will buy grain from us later, and the next two times will be payment before delivery."

This tribe suddenly became so easy to talk to, someone must have taught them kindness.

Before He Lingchuan left, he also left a word to tell Ding Zuodong: "Take some money to Manager Tong, he suffered a lot of grievances."

"Yes, this is inevitable."

Manager Tong was the manager who was humiliated by the Qinglong tribe, and the Qinglong tribe's compensation included his share.

While Ding Zuodong was calculating the accounts, Zhu Xiuer asked about the battle process, and Huang Zhao rubbed his nose: "It went very smoothly the day before yesterday. That bunch of grandsons didn't accept it at first, and even scolded us for a sneak attack, but they were beaten down twice in a row, and they became honest."

The winner is always proud, and the loser is always dejected.

For the results of this trip, He Lingchuan was quite satisfied. Just like his requirements, winning was not difficult, what was difficult was winning beautifully.

Facts proved that the nine months of high-intensity training were indeed effective. This team, which was full of morale on the battlefield but didn't forget to listen to commands, was simply like two different armies compared to the military appearance and discipline when the Emperor's Dew descended.

It was not in vain that he spent so much money and krypton gold, the change was still very obvious.

"Where is the Island Master now?" When He Lingchuan sent an urgent message back to the Yangshan Archipelago, not only mobilizing troops but also asking Zhu Xiuer and Dong Rui to move, it showed that the matter must be no small matter.

This was the first time since the Yangshan Archipelago built the guard force that such a large-scale military mobilization had taken place.

There is a time for riding the wind and breaking the waves.

This time, Dong Rui also stood on the bow and looked into the distance.

The sky is wide and the earth is broad, sailing the sea.

The guy surnamed He liked to stand here when he boarded the ship; did he also have such feelings and ambitions? "Now he should have arrived at the windstorm bay, right?" Huang Zhao said solemnly, "We felt strange when we were cleaning up the Qinglong tribe; their army seemed to be missing one or two hundred people. Later, we asked the captives and found out that the Qinglong tribe sent people to follow the Ya Nation general Wulu to intercept the Bailong tribe. The Island Master heard this news and led the team to rush over first."

"Is it the main clan of the Bailong?" Dong Rui was also stunned when he heard this news on the island, and then reacted; this didn't refer to Wanzai Feng and others under the Proprietor, but the main part of the Bailong clan!

Since Wanzai Feng surrendered to He Lingchuan, more Bailong people had come to join the Yangshan Archipelago in the past half year, ranging from a few to nearly a hundred, all of whom were separated from the main force while fleeing. They heard that the Yangshan Archipelago took in Bailong people, so they came.

It was not easy to mix outside, especially since the Ya Nation issued a pursuit order for the Bailong people, and surrounding countries didn't dare to take them in.

Now, there were nearly nine hundred Bailong people on the Yangshan Archipelago, big and small.

Zhu Xiuer was also puzzled: "How could the Bailong tribe be in the windstorm bay?"

He Lingchuan's flying message was very short, and any questions could be asked slowly on the way. He left Huang Zhao to respond, which was to solve the doubts for everyone.

"The main part of the Bailong tribe, led by the young patriarch Wanzai Tong, originally hid in the Songshi Plain in the three-no-man's land. Their situation was indeed difficult, so they had to agree to the Mou Nation's invitation and migrate westward."

Before the Ya Nation was founded, the Bailong tribe received support from the Mou Nation and had always opposed the current Great Leader. Now they were leaving their homes, and the Mou Nation couldn't ignore them, so they repeatedly proposed that Wanzai Tong go to the Mou Nation or Baili to take refuge.

The Bailong people were stubborn and refused to stay away from their homeland.

Of course, reality also taught them deeply what it meant to be stronger than the situation.

So Wanzai Tong finally figured it out and agreed to migrate the whole tribe to the Mou Nation.

"They originally planned to enter Baili from White Stone Village." Huang Zhao shrugged, "I don't know how the news leaked, and the Ya Nation sent people to intercept them. The Island Master heard about this and ordered the whole army to set off, rushing to the windstorm bay."

That was to help.

Wanting to save people, fighting was inevitable.

"Why save Wanzai Tong?" Zhu Xiuer was curious, "Wanzai Tong wants to defect to the Mou Nation, not the Yangshan Archipelago. Helping him, what good is it for us?"

"First, that kid Wanzai Feng heard that the Bailong main tribe was under attack, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, begging the Island Master to let him go and participate in the war."

Wanzai Feng didn't ask He Lingchuan to send troops, because that was not the duty of Yangshan.

He only begged He Lingchuan to let him go and fight side by side with the Bailong main tribe.

"Second, Lu Feiyan, the Lu girl from Baili, heard this news and said that the order her brother Lu Qingbin received earlier was to secretly lead troops to respond to Wanzai Tong and the Bailong clansmen."

That was to say, this order was sent by the Mou Nation to Baili.

As long as Wanzai Tong successfully escaped into Baili territory, he could reach the Mou Nation in two or three days. From then on, the Ya Nation would really not be able to catch them.

Therefore, the Ya Nation naturally wanted to stop Wanzai Tong from migrating westward.

Huang Zhao scratched the back of his head: "I guess, the Island Master probably wants to sell a favor to the Lu siblings or the Mou Nation?"

Ding Zuodong shook his head while calculating: "I'm afraid it's not just that, the Proprietor often has deep meaning in doing things."

He knew He Lingchuan had designs on Baili, but Huang Zhao, who had originally surrendered as a pirate, didn't know, so his judgment naturally had deviations.

Ding Zuodong wouldn't explain to him, just thought about it and said: "Oh, I remember, Lu the sixth borrowed five large cargo ships and seven medium ships from us a few days ago. He borrowed them in a hurry, but now it is the busy farming season, and cargo ships are particularly tight, and no shipping line is generous. This was still the Island Master's special handling, which allocated cargo ships to him."

From palm oil to grain, everything was harvested, and it was the season for purchasing merchants to come to the door to purchase. Blade Harbor and the Yangshan Archipelago were both busy, deeply interpreting what "time is money" meant. So Ding Zuodong had a deep impression of Lu the sixth's request.

"That is to say, there are our large ships in the windstorm bay!" Huang Zhao suddenly realized, "Then it makes sense, we have to get our ships back."

Every large cargo ship was expensive, and most importantly, it took a long time to build.

Ding Zuodong smiled, this was also a reason.

Dong Rui looked at this one, then at that one, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, is the opponent strong or not?"

"Very strong!" Huang Zhao said solemnly, "It is said to be a Ya Nation general who had the merit of founding the country."

"So cow?" Dong Rui didn't ask one sentence:

Can we beat them? It was a bit of a blow to his own prestige to say it, so he thought about it and changed it to: "Since the opposite side is a famous Ya Nation general, isn't it too hasty for us to rush to save people on a whim?"

"This matter came suddenly, and I think the Island Master was also caught off guard." Who could have expected that teaching the Qinglong tribe a lesson would lead to this accident? "But he said, we have to get used to fighting unprepared battles."

The Yangshan Archipelago urging the Qinglong tribe to collect grain was planned long ago, every detail was deliberated, including intelligence collection, so it was smooth, using debt collection as an excuse to train the guard force.

However, the world is full of variables, where are there so many calm battles, so many strategies, so many calculations?

Accidents find you every minute, catching you off guard.

What is ability?

Being caught off guard, yet still being able to guide the situation, still being able to turn the tide against the wind, that is true ability.

Where is He Lingchuan? He and a thousand subordinates were hiding on a sea island forty li northeast of the windstorm bay.

Night fell. With the island covering, the Ya Nation sentries on the coastline couldn't see his ship.

The weather was too good last night, not a good time for an attack, so He Lingchuan remained still.

Heaven, earth, and people, he always had to occupy one.

The poultry monsters often flew out to investigate the military situation on the coast and delivered messages to the Baili elite soldiers and Bailong people who were fighting.

A white egret flew from the direction of Platinum Island and landed beside He Lingchuan, spitting out a note.

He Lingchuan opened it casually, looked at it twice, and handed the note to Wanzai Feng: "Trouble is coming. The test is suspended, let's go out for a walk."

"Yes!" Wanzai Feng looked and understood, waving to his subordinates, "Withdraw!"

He Lingchuan looked apologetic and said to Lu Feiyan: "Trouble has come to the door, the guard exercise in the afternoon is canceled. I'm very sorry for making you run for nothing."

"Gaining a prime shop, how can it be said to be running for nothing?" Lu Feiyan was curious, "What kind of trouble is this, is it convenient to talk about it?"

"The Qinglong tribe in the east received a batch of grain from us, but they defaulted on the final payment; the manager sent by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to urge payment was also greatly humiliated."

"Qinglong tribe?" Lu Feiyan thought for a while, "Isn't that a tribe of the Ya Nation?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan led the crowd down the mountain while saying to her, "Business is not done like this. We have to talk about reason with the Qinglong tribe."

"Talk about reason with them, you..." Lu Feiyan said this, suddenly reacting, and gave a long "Oh."
